Tune in for some naughty and nice sports talk this

Here's Jacob Hester and T Bob a Bear.
Speaker 2: Say, Christmas Wedaday? Bangu?
Speaker 3: What ho did y'all? W a back? Go to beer Friday?
Hey Friday, December twenty Friday playoff day? Christmas Day? How about?
I just saw Golie Junior tweeting out the video. He
is uh in slth being Indiana and snow is falling
like a picturesque cinematic type of snowfall. Cars are lined
up to get into I guess whatever they're equivalent of,
like the RV park is and whatnot. Uh. The college
football playoffs are in the air. Could not be more excited.
It's gonna be awesome. I'm a little you can tell
me by my voice. Last night was very fun. The
holiday Christmas party for a shirt hurting a little bit
this morning that what's going on? Guys? Down a lot
going on?
Speaker 4: Like the great lyricists of our time, walk a flock
of flame once said, it's a party.
Speaker 5: It's a party.
Speaker 3: It's a party, it's a party.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, dude, he can't help himself. There's a pause,
and I was gonna say the third party.
Speaker 3: I thought you were setting me up like a like
a like a volleyball.
Speaker 4: Maine John Stockton, like like t k N thought I
thought that was a set.
Speaker 3: And then I was supposed to leap up and spike it. No, well,
I'm sorry. I don't think you should get so upset
about the walka Flock of Flame thing this early in
the morning. I'm very hung over. I can't I can't
be blamed for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't know.
Speaker 3: I'm picking up on the on on on the move.
There you hit me with like you you you threw
it up in the eye. You know you're throwing off
the backboard. I thought you were throwing it to me.
Speaker 5: Wandra, How you doing it?
Speaker 3: You were talking about what you were talking about walking
flame the other day?
Speaker 6: He goes hard in the paint.
Speaker 3: Is that him as well?
Speaker 6: I think so right. I think that's what.
Speaker 3: Happened to Fetti Wop. He only has man, It's all
I know about him as well. But I'm saying what
happened to him in his one eye, put out those
three or four songs and then dipped. I'm saying he's
not a one hit wonder, but he's like it was
like a one month one like it was. It came
out the same time. He was hot for a minute,
and now I don't know what he's doing. Hey, Merry
Christmas to walk a flogger and fettie wop. Wherever we
all are at, I hope you all are having a
great Christmas.
Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, I'm doing good.
Speaker 7: I actually am very thankful that I feel fine right now,
because I thought I was gonna feel Yeah.
Speaker 3: Taylor went home at like a thirty.
Speaker 8: Yeah, go out even though you're young, and the party
ended at nine.
Speaker 7: Okay, But if I would have went out, I wouldn't
have been like fine right now.
Speaker 6: That's why I didn't go out. I don't know. There's
talk of an after party.
Speaker 3: Definitely an after party.
Speaker 8: I don't want to point out. But the people that
aren't here today, what's it called sales teams.
Speaker 6: Today come in at six in the morning.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't think. Actually, I was talking to Gordialize,
I don't think anybody's working today. Really, it's an empty
building like the three ESPN chooses it. Hell yeah, cheers
to us here on air spreading holiday cheer. Forget about it,
Murphy Salmon, Jody, Yeah, we're trying to tell me that
a rotisserie chickens a funny white elephant gift. Get the
hell out of here.
Speaker 7: Like Eddy Wop is in prison for distributing Schedule one narcotics, that.
Speaker 3: Would explain the absence from pop culture.
Speaker 6: Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 3: I don't think he did it.
Speaker 6: Do you think he's in there for seventeen to thirty eight?
Speaker 3: More like, that's that's really good, right, that's really good.
Speaker 6: If I went out last night, I wouldn't have had that.
Speaker 3: More like Finty Wop Finny Wop.
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, yeah, duh, I get it, But.
Speaker 6: Mine was better.
Speaker 8: I agree, I agree, No, I agree that like we've
we've all recovered. Though we're good. I know Jake's good,
No good. T Bob is the only one that's not good.
Speaker 3: No great. I ended up. My wife used to work
a counch a couple of Louisiana back in the day.
Very funny. She's a very hard worker, always had a
job and this is the only job. She quit after
like two months, who's a server there? And she said
it was just like she's just not she's not really
a server type personality. I mean, and she did like daycare,
she did doggy daycare, so you know, she's had some
jobs where you're you're you're dealing with some crap literal
and figurative. But uh, I guess there's there's like a
member's only bar there that she's always wanted to get
a drink at, and so we end up going there,
we see somebody and next thing you know, it's like
eleven thirty and we're still drinking there.
Speaker 6: You stayed there till eleven thirty?
Speaker 3: Yeah, literally stay like way after the party. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's not good. Sometimes you gotta know when to leave.
Staff was probably so pissed they had no idea who
this was. They're like, can we get this guy? Well,
to me, I wouldn't have been able to go, So
there's a there's a there's a member there that that's
that's why. But yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy though. I randomly,
out of nowhere met a girl who lives in my
old college apartment, my old college place, and then the
same place where I have ever, it's a place where
I've lived for like ten years, and they're talking to
her my wife, and they're like, oh I used to
and then then cheering up the exact same.
Speaker 6: Place, like same apartment everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the exact same place. Yeah, yeah, that I
lived for probably ten years. And I have like deep,
deep deep families. So we got invited to a birthday
party in January. See see if we uh see if
we end up going.
Speaker 8: The Icebreaker was like, guys, I live at this apartment.
You guys have no idea how disgusting it was when
I first moved in, Like it was awful on Team Bump's.
Speaker 3: Like wait a minute, like I think I left those
things she put Apparently she likes to do acrobatic like
sircusilate like rib and routines, you know, and she hung
one from the ceiling like Frank the tank. No no, no, no, no no,
not Olympic ribbon like you know, I can't there's a
name for it. I don't know what it is. You know,
when you're doing you're like you like wrap yourself up
in the ribbons and like fly around and yeah, you
like spin down your legs, yes, like silet ribbon like
like ribbon trapeze type stuff.
Speaker 6: I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, trapeze is like the bar but it's
it's there's is a name for it because it's like
a workout you can do.
Speaker 4: Apparently, of course there's any unique way for white women
to work out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do anything. So I'm saying she's so bad, and
she has one in in the old in the place
now from the yes, apparently just in the middle of
the like in the middle of the taller the ceilings.
This is this is a very tall It was it was,
it was, it was, it was. I mean, it was
definitely not a place that I would have afforded today,
probably ever in my life. So, yes, how'd you afford it? Then?
Speaker 5: Boosters?
Speaker 3: I wish MOhm, you know, uh but uh yeah. So
I'll report back if I end up going to the
birthday party, maybe do a little acro yoga?
Speaker 4: Is that what I actually think that there's one hundred
percent chance hearing some of the small details that.
Speaker 3: You'll be there. I really want to go. I'll tell
you to break some other details about why I really
want to go, but yeah, I got to go check
it out eventually, tite inspired my wife to send out
blank nutcrackers to all of our family all over the
country and then have a virtual nutcracker competition, because you
think said Taylor family's nutcracker competition is so wholesome. So
thank you for bringing a little holiday cheer to me.
You're welcome. Hopefully she doesn't do the one that I
told you about, but uh it's a good one though,
yeah uh bye. By the way, funny twist in Luis
jim story. Okay, him and Diddy now in the same
jail together, no way, And I believe in fact check
me on this that their lawyers are married couple.
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: And then funny, wait, I missed the first part of
who and Diddy?
Speaker 3: Luisgim Ah and I think their lawyers are married couple.
Speaker 6: That's insane.
Speaker 3: How about that? That feels like intense inner conversation at
the end of the night, You're like, sheesh, how was
your day?
Speaker 7: You just would to believe you'll call me crazy, But
that's just way too many coincidences.
Speaker 3: Here it comes the third eye. Can't even wait till
seven fifteen, seven thirty seconds, and the third eye is
already gazing upon me. Oh go to the Donka.
Speaker 6: Take this red pill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the problem of mine willingly taking pills. Not
this time, not gonna get me. It's a fun party
last night. I love the jazz man. What y'all think?
I loved this a little loud, but I kind of
a little loud.
Speaker 6: We had to shout over each other.
Speaker 8: With the trumpet or whatever it was he was. He
killed that thing plugged into an amplifier.
Speaker 3: Guy killed.
Speaker 6: I had like a little happened my step all night
while they were playing it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree, kind of like kind of like.
Speaker 3: Just doing this a little bit, just a little wiggle
wiggle he did. His attorney Mark Anio.
Speaker 8: Uh, his wife represents Luigi and now so does Mark.
So Mark joined his wife Karen on the defense team
for Luigi, and Mark also defends.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I.
Speaker 8: Think they do well for themselves financially, I would say so.
Speaker 3: Also good luck. I mean, those are going to be
a couple of hard cases to try to mitigate the
damage of and or win. Uh. It's like that scene
and it's role models right when yeh lizard thanks, he's
the defense attorney and the guys TV and he's on
video anything look at me stealing TV. That is not me.
Look at me, Stanley Johnson stealing TV.
Speaker 8: He's like, I don't know, there's a lot of evidence
against you.
Speaker 3: Oh man, we do have some sports talking about today.
I wonder people are listening today.
Speaker 6: Right, it's Friday.
Speaker 3: I've been checked, as he might know. I don't people
are listening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know about listening like on the radio.
But there's people watching on you.
Speaker 3: They are there are watching YouTube. What's up, guys? One
hundred and ninety people in there already? Hell yeah, let's go.
It's good. No, I can't read that yet. That's funny though.

What are we most excited for this weekend?
Speaker 6: College football playoffs?
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean yeah, that's gonna be mine. But also

Speaker 3: Oh, Billy what's up, brother? What's going on?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 3: How you doing today?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: It's a tough morning, man, lots of Uh.
Speaker 5: We played indoors at the Elite facility last night and
it was.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of feeling it, you know.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Billy, I'm the oldest person there.
Speaker 6: It's tough living.
Speaker 3: Hey man, Look look but you know what You're still
living and you're still doing it. You know what I'm saying.
And you're Jake's place Elite, Billy. This could not have
been a better call to start off our Friday. Hell yeah, Billy,
let's go, let's go. Let's go. All right, Billy, you
have a very mery Christmas? Brother, that could have worked
out better. I feel very energized now. I feel happy.
Let's go Frisbee, Billy? My dog? Uh still holding it down? Playing?
Were they were?
Speaker 9: They?
Speaker 3: Were they playing Ultimate at Elite last night? I don't know,
let's go. Uh what Christmas?
Speaker 5: I don't know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I will, guys, I'm not Yeah, you asked.
Speaker 5: I thought you were asking me.
Speaker 3: No, I would ask you if you were playing. I
didn't know if there was like an adult ultimately that
goes out of out of Elite. That's everything.
Speaker 4: So after lacrosse football, Oh, let's go all.
Speaker 3: Elite t bomb.
Speaker 8: Knowing someone that goes by Billy the Frisbee Guy is
the least surprising thing that has happened to me all morning.
Speaker 3: He did the best of Billy convinced me not to
do not to work today. I agree, Go Tiger, says
mister Collin shows. We're thinking about doing a calling segment
for askda Bench today at a thirty Uh, potentially do
we have a dump button though?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 6: I don't know where it's at, but I can find out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's if we can. Maybe let's find that before Okay, Oh.
Speaker 6: Well that was hard right there, says Dump.
Speaker 3: That reminds me and one of my all time favorite
Family Guy jokes. It's from the very first season. I
think it's like Peter goes over to Quagmires to Super
Bowl and he's like, hey, beer, want a beer? And
he's like, ah, sorry, Craig ma told Louisone, you know,
I feel bad. I told loads I want to drink tonight.
He goes, oh, don't feel bad. He goes, I never
thought about it that way, and then he gets hammered.
Very little resistance, very little effort to find that dumb
button workout.
Speaker 4: This used to be one up here. Yeah, oh really yeah,
this red one up here, it's red.
Speaker 5: He used to be one.
Speaker 4: But apparently the way it's wired up here, if you
hit it, it's.
Speaker 5: Not a dump button. It literally just knocks everything off there.
Speaker 3: It's an e m P.
Speaker 4: So we used to have our cough buttons up here
and didn't have these giant cough literally cough drop buttons
on here. Used to just be able to hit the
but I think any button up here now is pretty much.
Speaker 5: No, no, don't touch it. Yeah, how about you go
and fix this bow?
Speaker 6: Yeah bo o.
Speaker 5: If we hit that, we're wanted.
Speaker 3: We go home.
Speaker 5: Both looking dapper.
Speaker 3: Last night, anyways, everybody looked great.
Speaker 6: Everybody looked great.
Speaker 3: Everybody looked great. For sure.
Speaker 5: I didn't know you're supposed to be suited and booted.
I shut up in a leather jacket that said.
Speaker 3: I did that last year. That's at CC.
Speaker 5: That's just that c C life. Yeah, well that's just
a CC life.
Speaker 3: I was gonna wear a Christmas sweater and then last
second my wife was like nah, so I had to change.
Speaker 6: She's a real MVP. Probably the sweetest person I've ever
met in my life.
Speaker 3: Ha ha. Sure must be nice to feel that way
about her. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 6: She's the best.
Speaker 9: You know what.
Speaker 3: I'm sick of all these Alabama gump tard crampis is
sitting here trying to crap on college football. Like, I
know it's not perfect, I know were there needs to
be some sort of guidelines. Ideally, there needs to be
more leadership. I get all of this, but I'll be
damned if the every time you see a clip complaining
about how it's not good or it's broken or it's
not like it used to be, every time it's an
Alabama guy like Mike Johnson on the Next Round yesterday,
Mike Johnson, former Bambara the lineann O nine national champ
play for the Falcons for a little bit. But he's
sitting there saying, it's just not like it used to be.
Like we used to love like big games at like
Happy Valley, and I'm sitting there about tearing my hair,
like what are you talking about? You'll do still love
big games and happy other This's what going on this weekend.
It's gonna be one like it's not like it used
to Yeah, and that what you just can't say they're
and dominated works you hoard all the best town on
the roster. Sorry, what what's to say it?
Speaker 8: It's like it's only inconvenient when it becomes inconvenient for you.
Like that's Alabama fans right now?
Speaker 3: Yes, Like now the sport's broken now when you were
consistently dominant every single year number one with a bullet
sport wasn't broken when you won forty two to ten
over of Notre Dame in the Natty. Wasn't broken when
you won forty nine to twenty or whatever it was
against Ohio State during the pandemic or Georgia one's sixty.
You see, That's what else fiss me off. It's gonna
be a blowout in here, right, They'll probably be a
couple somewhere and people are like, ey, okay, well no
that's not true. We've seen blowouts in every system. Sometimes
it just happens. Just so sick of go just so
sick of people trying to crap on it after it
had such a fun season, be awesome.
Speaker 5: Say it's just bame with people so they don't count.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But then Josh Page quote tweeting him he's right.
I'm like, what what what do you? What is he
right about? Let's play Let's play the audio next and
then I'll get mad or something more. Tb coming up
off the bench. Go to Tommy's windows doors inside and

the same Yeah, I jacked it.
Speaker 3: Elite Training Academy br dot com guys, go check it out.
How did I know without looking up yet?
Speaker 8: When you said Elite Academy a cup, I like, tab
took the one from the table.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just make sure you put it back.
Speaker 3: Congrat Sherlock. You figured me out.
Speaker 8: Huh Well, I mean, I'm sure he has other cups,
but that would require T Bob like buying one in
supporting Jake, which.
Speaker 5: I do like, I don't.
Speaker 4: So last night I was at you know, we're all
at the Christmas party, but I left early because the
Charges and Broncos.
Speaker 5: Are playing, and so are the Jake Bowl.
Speaker 4: Our boss Flynn Foster, who's fantastic every year, gives us
a Christmas bonus, which is incredibly nice something to do,
and T Bob text He's like, hey, are you here.
Still's like, no, I'm homewatching the game. He's like, all right,
I got your bonus. So he comes in this morning,
and so it's not actually like the check, right, it's
just like the stub of the Christmas bonus.
Speaker 5: It's string deposit. Because I thought it didn't look like
a check when it's it's twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Right, where do you sign it?
Speaker 4: And so tea Bout thought it was a check, like
he thought it was actual payment Christmas bonus. He's like, hey, ah,
I got your uh your check in my house somewhere.
I forgot it somewhere at my house, I forgot it.
If that was a real check, there would be zero
chant to whatever find its way to me.
Speaker 3: And now what's right here?
Speaker 4: Well, now you you went and got Caitlyn to go
find a picture of it.
Speaker 3: No, well, because I said, hey, be on the lookout.
I got Jake's check it out check and then you
told me it's not a check. It's just I like it.
It's like, yeah, I see, I was taking care of
it when I took my sud off last night. It's
a care of it for you, bro. The bonus is
better than the Jelly of the Month club, that's for sure.
It is.
Speaker 5: So shout out to Flynn Foster for hooking us all up.
Speaker 3: Even though I wish you wouldn't given Taylor a bonus.
Speaker 4: Whatever, Well, he gave him the last and he gave
us Yeah hopefully. He said, you're a full time employee
with part time skills.
Speaker 3: I did have to tell Victoria. I was like, look,
I know you have to understand how much I love
your husband. I know, as his wife, you probably think
that I just constantly bully. That is true, and that
is true. I do constantly. Okay, she listens at all.
Speaker 5: She probably does hate tea Bob.
Speaker 3: It's also great to me Lydia last night, it was excellent.
Speaker 6: Lydia is her daughter.
Speaker 3: I hear that, I said, Lydia early this morning. I thought, yeah,
and I thought you responded.
Speaker 7: I thought I had no, it's Alexa. But you you
were calling her Alexa last night, so it's fine. You
didn't do that last Wow, Lydia's the nine year old.
Speaker 3: Well, Alex is awesome, and Lydia's awesome. To be fair.
Speaker 6: I thought it was like, you know, she's like my
permanent plus one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I can tell you all have a
very good friendship. All right. So Mike Johnson went on
next round, and uh, it's a bit of a longer clip,
but here's what he had to say about the current
state of college football.
Speaker 9: Talking to all my good buddies, and y'all know John
Parker Wilson and Cory Riemer. To those guys, it's tough
to watch. It really really is. And I get it.
I'm not sure that I can honestly say that any
of us would have would have made different changes. I mean,
this is this is agents, this is parents this and
this is life changing money for these guys at the
same time. And I love Greg burn let me just
throw that out there, but you want to talk about
not going over very well a week before Christmas and
the timing and all of this, and he's eighteen year
old kids and guys, I know that, y'all. Look man,
y'all can read between the lines. Man.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people felt the way I did.
You're reading it and going huh like that you want what?
And it's tough.
Speaker 9: Obviously I'm not his target audience. When Greg Burton puts
out the message and he's like, hey, we need more
NIL money, I hope he's not talking to me. I've
given enough to that school as it is, you know
what I mean, Like me and my friends are like,
all right, you know, don't worry about it, but it's
tough to watch. And I think Alabama fans feel the
same way. And I don't know what the endgame is.
I don't know where the legislation goes, as far as
the hearing coming up in April and the revenue sharing
and who implements what rules, But it just seems like
we're all standing in a circle staring at one another,
waiting for somebody to make the first move on who's
going to put some rules in place, right? And I
don't know if the end goal is Super League's or
or whatever it is, or some kind of agreement between
the Big ten, the SEC or maybe the people, maybe
the stakeholders, maybe ESPN gets involved in this. For a
guy like myself, who as old as I feel sometimes, guys,
I'm fifteen years removed from that two thousand and nine
national title run, it's just hard to watch.
Speaker 3: It's not the same product you watch.
Speaker 9: I mean, we used to just a lot of watching
the passion of you know, Happy Valley and like all
this it just doesn't feel like the same passionate sport.
And now you guys see that I know a lot
of viewers see that. It's just it's frustrating, and I
don't know. I guess the most frustrating part is I
don't know what the endgame is. I don't know when
it stops. I don't know when it stops spiraling out
of control. But I think we've seen so many quality
coaches start to move on look the other way. I mean,
I've talked to people inside of numerous programs that say
that they're talking to rival programs and just kind of
chuckling with one another, like, what.
Speaker 3: Do you even do?
Speaker 9: You know, what, what do you even do when these
kids are getting these offers while they're on your team
and heading somewhere else and then making a different decision
twenty four hours later. And Guys, I heard today from
a really reliable source that there is a team in
the college football playoff that is actively paying its players
to stay throughout the playoffs so that they will have
enough people to practice with. And they are in the playoffs.
It just it blows my mind that that's what we're
dealing with. But these kids are being recruited other places,
the transfer portals wide.
Speaker 3: Open, and I don't know what the endgame actually is
I don't know if a single point was made, and
that entire thing, and then Josh Pate wants to quote
tweet it and say he is correct. Now, I'll give
Peyton this out. If he is saying he is correct
about that story about a roster being paid, Okay, that
is pretty shocking, to be sure, But what is that
whole spiel about. It's not like it used to be.
There's no passion anymore. Like did you watch a big
college football game this year? Do you watch Tennessee beat
Alabama and Knoxville this year? I know you did. Did
you watch the Nashville fans carry a goal post to
the entire high town and dump it in the river?
Like and again? And I get all sort of people
accusing you about it.
Speaker 4: Clemson s ACC championship game, a neutral side game, it's
like still had juice to it.
Speaker 3: I know that. I know that people keep accusing me
of and it's maybe it's true whatever, of being Bama
obsessed here, But it's all the Bama people complaining. It's
just like Nick Saban getting up there in front of
Congress and saying we have to restore competitive balance. What what?
It's never been more balanced than it is right now,
and again that sounds it's perfect. Obviously there needs to
be guidelines and changes, but yeah, you know what you're
dealing with. You're dealing with the ripple effects of a literal,
literal labor revolution. Like, make no mistake, that's what this is.
You had labor that for hundreds of years is making
a ton of money for other people but could not
be paid. Turns out that's very illegal. So yes, of
course there's some crazy growing pains. But miss me with that,
like not like it used to be, no passion left.
You're just mad because you're not in it and you
can't dominate the sport in the way that I used to.
Speaker 4: I just covered one of the most passionate games I've
ever been to in Army Navy Lasting, and that's not
my first time to cover that game. That game had
as much juice as any that I've been to, and
I've been to three in a row, and even that
game had more juice to it, and both teams were good.
And there's parody in college football, and even a game
like Army Navy, which is always good, can go up
a level like I'm having cam Scataboo's coming on the
show later today, like a guy like that in Arizona State,
Like they had the opportunity to do something that they
never would have had before because of some of the
changes in college football. I mean there's stories all over
the place Indiana and today who's playing today.
Speaker 3: Like who's still pushing the Super League? I feel like,
thank god we kind of merge out of the other
side of the Super League. Nobody wants that. We want
the ACC, we want the Big Twelve, you want the
whole breadth of college football. So funny, it's not like, yeah,
like make defense and you mean the balance like when
they won the Natty every year. Now they are playing
ease everyone in four years exactly.
Speaker 4: There's eight teams, eight ranked teams between the ACC and
Big Twelve right now. I mean it's not like they
don't matter. It's not like they're not playing good football.
Eight teams and that's not even counting like a team
like Georgia Tech who's not ranked, who took Georgia to
eight overtimes, Redzig.
Speaker 3: Tech Tigers as the Tiger Stadium and let's the nail
by and game in the stadiums have full in the
third quarter of the scene has changed the ninety I mean, look,
that's that's true about all sports in general.
Speaker 5: There's way more ways.
Speaker 3: To get is trying to get Yeah, it is trying
to get butts in the seat.
Speaker 4: Like even when I was playing, you had to get
Tiger vision for some of the games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you no longer have to get Tiger vision.
Speaker 4: And every single game is on and it's on with
you know, all the production of the biggest game of
the week.
Speaker 5: Now like there's not like three cameras.
Speaker 4: You get everything, Like it's on the SEC network at minimum,
and so like that's a portion of it as well.
Speaker 5: Now the big games. Everybody wants to be at the
big games.
Speaker 4: That's why lsu ole Miss was a top five atmosphere
of all time for me. And I've been in that
stadium a lot of times, Yeah, played as a fan,
as a media member, and that was a top five experience.
Speaker 3: Ben Avis iss, you sport the new system that has
refs deciding the games.
Speaker 5: What he's about the chiefs.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what Ben's talking about.
What I don't I guess I don't. I don't really
know if it's fun. Uh yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean am I am I off base here that
I mean, now the big circle, there's there's a couple
of shows after us that would probably maybe agree with Mike.
I don't know, but I do hunt hunting right, Matt
might not. I don't think Matt would agree, and I
would agree with anything Alabama.
Speaker 3: I wonder where Hunt would go.
Speaker 4: Well, I still hunt for his Arizona state, and I mean, yeah,
we're putting that.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Hunter, it's a great teaming at the party
last night, but we're putting we're putting that take up
there with the mel Kuiper to high safety should be
a legal take. It's that that's in that that's that
goes on the take wall of shame.
Speaker 5: It does.
Speaker 3: How easy people forgot about that? Like I forgot, I'm
not forget about that? Is that you should shape? Oh
what other? There was another one the other day that
there was and now freaking ay, we should have an
actual wall of shade.
Speaker 5: And now I forgot what it was. Oh well, right
there we have another board.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we take the mel Kiper until we think of
what it was.
Speaker 4: Arizona State, Boise State. Yeah, take two, okay, Christmas. Matt
loves currency College some of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean again, I think it's a very now,
damn it, I doune in and here my take sucks.
I don't even know what it was. It was the
one where you were saying that what like the Big
twelve and a SEC shouldn't exist. Yeah, no, they shouldn't.
The shouldn't be in the playoff.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, come on now, brouh. Hunt, we all
know you hadn't watched the game played west of Texas.
Speaker 3: Come on, numbro I love people, Come on now, but.
Speaker 4: Hey, Hunt, you know there was the Cubs and Diamondbacks. Hunt,
you know it is good news.
Speaker 3: LSU Baseball just got Malachai Washington committed twenty six os
oud of.
Speaker 4: That, all right, Matt's lab McConkie takes not agent. Well
that's another one.
Speaker 3: No, no, that's not agent. Well, but that's like is
that two high safeties level?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, that's just missing on a player.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Mike, my worst one, it was spoke Lane.
He was gonna do good when he came back. That's
probably my worst one. Oh, I mean I was so excited.
I mean, here's my guy, me too. All right, Mara,
you winging back.
Speaker 1: Off the bench back to sports talk. Maybe off the bench.
Speaker 10: Oh.

number one, it's it's the Christmas.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I didn't think about that.
Speaker 3: Not silver Belts or Blue or out Blue.
Speaker 4: Christmas is pretty high out there, but we've played Blue's
a lot. It would be something about Elvis from Michael Bublay,
probably Michael. I mean, I didn't know this existed though.
Speaker 3: Bublay is a Christmas prince in a world where being
Crosby exists, but nobody else can he.
Speaker 5: Not with us anymore? Isn't there like a line?
Speaker 3: Well? But I feel like the music makes you immortal?
Like what's still getting the most played during the holidays?
I wonder what the most played song is rhymes with
King Yeah, and then Mariah's the Queen.
Speaker 4: He's probably the most played Christmas song, probably right, Princess.
So here's the top five most played Christmas song.
Speaker 3: Tu him, let's try to guess him of all.
Speaker 4: Time, uh, all time, all time.
Speaker 3: All time White Christmas. Well, no, it's got to be.

band Aid. Yeah, that's a good song, So that that's
saying that we're the world right situation. I don't know
that number five should be Mistletoe by Justin Bieber. I'm
