Speaker 1: All right, it's the Bend and Skin Show ninety seven
Speaker 1: point one. The Eagle KT might know who the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were gonna draft, and we'll tell you in about thirty
Speaker 1: minutes or so. But right now it's time for this good.
Speaker 2: It is good for you. You should stay clean, but you'll
Speaker 2: have to take like a big long one. Okay. So,
Speaker 2: uh this is a story that does a stem for
Speaker 2: the world of sports, but I promise it's not that
Speaker 2: sportsy because uh, Lee Corso is the old man who's
Speaker 2: on the famous Saturday morning in the Fall Show college
Speaker 2: Game Day, and honestly, his iconic move is that he
Speaker 2: puts a mascot head on waves to the crowd. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2: I watch it every week. I don't care, I don't
Speaker 2: care who the celebrity guest picker is. They come in,
Speaker 2: they pick the games, and at the end he puts
Speaker 2: on a mascot head.
Speaker 3: And that's how he picks the game.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: They're like, okay, who you taking, Lee? And he shows
Speaker 3: everyone by whatever mascot that he puts.
Speaker 2: On, and it's usually you know, it's the big game
Speaker 2: of the week. So they're at that university in Ohio
Speaker 2: State or Florida or Alabama or whatever. Right, and then
Speaker 2: he either plays to the crowd and gets them going
Speaker 2: or he deeks them. He's he's the upset.
Speaker 1: He's the strange creature that does a bit in which
Speaker 1: he plays a buffoon and then takes himself very very serious.
Speaker 2: He used to. He doesn't take himself that seriously anymore. Okay,
Speaker 2: I know you're going back to an interview from twenty
Speaker 2: years ago. I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: I've seen him on TV plenty of times.
Speaker 2: He's he's calmed down at his old age, and now
Speaker 2: he's lost it. In fact, I would say the last
Speaker 2: three years they should not have been putting him out there.
Speaker 2: Wait why because he can barely get around. Basically, Herbie
Speaker 2: has to hold his hand and get him through his script.
Speaker 2: It's rough. It's elder abuse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dad was listening to a cratorial from HU.
Speaker 2: So she's two hundred and six and doing great.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: So they announced that he's done and he is going
Speaker 2: to do college game Day in week one next year,
Speaker 2: and it'll be a big deal. Now they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to do play by play. But I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: I know a couple. There's one that jumps out to
Speaker 2: me and I'm gonna play it first. My favorite things ever,
Speaker 2: there's a little kid picking games. This kid got famous.
Speaker 2: It's one of the kids from Ricky Bobby. Shut up, Chip,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey. He
Speaker 2: was the celebrity guest picker picking games. So he picks
Speaker 2: Yale in the Harvard Yale game. And listen to Lee
Speaker 2: Corso Yale, gum booll dogs Yale, boo so fast?
Speaker 1: Ridge?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy, hey, not so fast? I go I
Speaker 2: go with Harvard.
Speaker 3: What's the matter, I'm gonna go with Harvard. What year
Speaker 3: is this?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, okay. What's so funny about this to be
Speaker 2: is listen to Chris Fowler after he says it, yeah.
Speaker 1: Bool dogs Yale, boob so fast, midget not so fast,
Speaker 1: Mitch it yeah, little guy, hey not so fast?
Speaker 2: Okay. Now I heard Delkas Colonel Messi that in the
Speaker 2: last two years, So I don't know. We have learned
Speaker 2: it should be little people though, because we had a
Speaker 2: person on the brink of the line of how tall
Speaker 2: They told us that on our show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then had some good bits about well, so
Speaker 1: he was how old is he?
Speaker 2: Lee Corso now eighty two, we're probably in the Trump
Speaker 2: Jerry range. No. Eighty nine. Oh wow.
Speaker 3: The older they are, the further they are from being
Speaker 3: politically corrected. Yes, anyway, whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And really, if you've had anybody that's had a career
Speaker 1: in media for fifty to sixty years, they've had seven
Speaker 1: questionable moments if they're on the low side.
Speaker 2: Here's one picking a game with Carl Lewis as your
Speaker 2: guest picker, and here's what happened.
Speaker 1: How can you pick against.
Speaker 4: White?
Speaker 2: You say, okay, so it's great. Is when you watch
Speaker 2: Herbie and Chris Fower go, God, just put their head down.
Speaker 2: When I heard it too. Arkansas really surprised me though
Speaker 2: this last week. I'm stuggling with Ole.
Speaker 1: Miss Arkansas shot the water last week, Miss Mississippi Arkansas
Speaker 1: focused the last two weeks.
Speaker 3: If they show up, yeah, same tchip.
Speaker 2: Okay, are you allowed to say that?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Man, let's get Corso on this show.
Speaker 2: And then this is one where Desmond Howard and the
Speaker 2: other guy they're just kind of arguing and then Lee
Speaker 2: Corso's like, no one here cares about the game. You're
Speaker 2: talking about why the play the game?
Speaker 3: That makes absolutely no sin there's a bunch of claimed.
Speaker 3: These people don't give me.
Speaker 4: And we just laugh at it. Crazy old man who cares.
Speaker 4: We just laugh at it. It's beautiful though, it's a
Speaker 4: great bit. I love mascot heads, so I'm in on
Speaker 4: all of it. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2: And he waves his little hand up and if anyone
Speaker 2: tries to recreate it, it's wrong.
Speaker 3: It's his bit and it should die with Okay, I'm
Speaker 3: glad that he's, uh, you know, he's retiring, and you
Speaker 3: know he's had a great career. That's that's awesome. I
Speaker 3: feared that they were going to march him out for
Speaker 3: the whole season and have a farewell tour. I love
Speaker 3: that it's just one game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he can only travel to one last game.
Speaker 1: I think is kind of like what a factory.
Speaker 2: No, I'm telling you. The last couple of years, they
Speaker 2: have reduced his time on the air so much, and
Speaker 2: when it's time to do the picks, Herbie is like, dude,
Speaker 2: it's caretaker stuff, like handing him his notes. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna help you get the Florida Gators head from out
Speaker 2: under the desk.
Speaker 3: And he's had a bunch of plastic surgery too, right,
Speaker 3: and he's his face looks real different and he oh
Speaker 3: it does. He doesn't wear glasses. I don't think either,
Speaker 3: so he's like some can't see very well either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 1: You know what happened today at ESPN And they made
Speaker 1: the announcement everyone in there and went, hey, Berman, did
Speaker 1: you hear the Corso news? Oh?
Speaker 3: Is he still there?
Speaker 1: Cuz I don't know if you heard of what Lee's
Speaker 1: gonna do? You should check it out.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: They rolled burning out at like twelve thirty on a
Speaker 1: Sunday night and has the same stuff, and he does
Speaker 1: it like in the middle of the night. So no, Chris,
Speaker 1: We're still running. It's great.
Speaker 2: Sounds good. Nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. All right, there you have it. Rest
Speaker 3: in peace, Lee Corso or rest in retirement?
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Coming up next, there's come and Go news and that
Speaker 3: is big news for Kevin Turner and the name that
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys are most associated with in this upcoming
Speaker 3: draft has some local ties. All that's coming your way
Speaker 3: in the next hour of the Ben and Skin Show.
