WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's the Bend and Skin Show ninety seven

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>point one. The Eagle KT might know who the Cowboys

3
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>were gonna draft, and we'll tell you in about thirty

4
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>minutes or so. But right now it's time for this good.

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>It is good for you. You should stay clean, but you'll

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>have to take like a big long one. Okay. So,

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 2>uh this is a story that does a stem for

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>the world of sports, but I promise it's not that

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 2>sportsy because uh, Lee Corso is the old man who's

10
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 2>on the famous Saturday morning in the Fall Show college

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Game Day, and honestly, his iconic move is that he

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>puts a mascot head on waves to the crowd. It's brilliant.

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>I watch it every week. I don't care, I don't

14
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>care who the celebrity guest picker is. They come in,

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>they pick the games, and at the end he puts

16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>on a mascot head.

17
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>And that's how he picks the game.

18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Right.

19
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>They're like, okay, who you taking, Lee? And he shows

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 3>everyone by whatever mascot that he puts.

21
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 2>On, and it's usually you know, it's the big game

22
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of the week. So they're at that university in Ohio

23
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>State or Florida or Alabama or whatever. Right, and then

24
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 2>he either plays to the crowd and gets them going

25
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 2>or he deeks them. He's he's the upset.

26
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>He's the strange creature that does a bit in which

27
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>he plays a buffoon and then takes himself very very serious.

28
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>He used to. He doesn't take himself that seriously anymore. Okay,

29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 2>I know you're going back to an interview from twenty

30
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I know what you're thinking.

31
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him on TV plenty of times.

32
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He's he's calmed down at his old age, and now

33
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>he's lost it. In fact, I would say the last

34
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>three years they should not have been putting him out there.

35
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait why because he can barely get around. Basically, Herbie

36
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>has to hold his hand and get him through his script.

37
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>It's rough. It's elder abuse.

38
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the dad was listening to a cratorial from HU.

39
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>So she's two hundred and six and doing great.

40
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Great.

41
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>So they announced that he's done and he is going

42
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>to do college game Day in week one next year,

43
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>and it'll be a big deal. Now they're gonna have

44
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 2>to do play by play. But I was like, okay, well,

45
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I know a couple. There's one that jumps out to

46
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>me and I'm gonna play it first. My favorite things ever,

47
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>there's a little kid picking games. This kid got famous.

48
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the kids from Ricky Bobby. Shut up, Chip,

49
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey. He

50
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>was the celebrity guest picker picking games. So he picks

51
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Yale in the Harvard Yale game. And listen to Lee

52
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:31.599

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this guy, hey, not so fast? I go I

<v Speaker 2>go with Harvard.

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>What's the matter, I'm gonna go with Harvard. What year

57
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 3>is this?

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, okay. What's so funny about this to be

59
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>is listen to Chris Fowler after he says it, yeah.

60
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Bool dogs Yale, boob so fast, midget not so fast,

<v Speaker 1>Mitch it yeah, little guy, hey not so fast?

62
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Now I heard Delkas Colonel Messi that in the

63
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>last two years, So I don't know. We have learned

64
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>it should be little people though, because we had a

65
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>person on the brink of the line of how tall

66
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>They told us that on our show.

67
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but then had some good bits about well, so

68
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>he was how old is he?

69
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Lee Corso now eighty two, we're probably in the Trump

70
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Jerry range. No. Eighty nine. Oh wow.

71
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>The older they are, the further they are from being

72
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 3>politically corrected. Yes, anyway, whatsoever.

73
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And really, if you've had anybody that's had a career

74
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>in media for fifty to sixty years, they've had seven

75
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>questionable moments if they're on the low side.

76
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Here's one picking a game with Carl Lewis as your

77
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>guest picker, and here's what happened.

78
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>How can you pick against.

79
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>White?

80
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>You say, okay, so it's great. Is when you watch

81
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Herbie and Chris Fower go, God, just put their head down.

82
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>When I heard it too. Arkansas really surprised me though

83
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>this last week. I'm stuggling with Ole.

84
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Miss Arkansas shot the water last week, Miss Mississippi Arkansas

85
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>focused the last two weeks.

86
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 3>If they show up, yeah, same tchip.

87
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, are you allowed to say that?

88
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

89
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Man, let's get Corso on this show.

90
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>And then this is one where Desmond Howard and the

91
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 2>other guy they're just kind of arguing and then Lee

92
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Corso's like, no one here cares about the game. You're

93
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 2>talking about why the play the game?

94
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 3>That makes absolutely no sin there's a bunch of claimed.

95
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 3>These people don't give me.

96
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 4>And we just laugh at it. Crazy old man who cares.

97
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 4>We just laugh at it. It's beautiful though, it's a

98
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 4>great bit. I love mascot heads, so I'm in on

99
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 4>all of it. It's wonderful.

100
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>And he waves his little hand up and if anyone

101
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>tries to recreate it, it's wrong.

102
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 3>It's his bit and it should die with Okay, I'm

103
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 3>glad that he's, uh, you know, he's retiring, and you

104
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 3>know he's had a great career. That's that's awesome. I

105
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 3>feared that they were going to march him out for

106
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>the whole season and have a farewell tour. I love

107
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 3>that it's just one game.

108
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he can only travel to one last game.

109
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I think is kind of like what a factory.

110
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm telling you. The last couple of years, they

111
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 2>have reduced his time on the air so much, and

112
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>when it's time to do the picks, Herbie is like, dude,

113
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 2>it's caretaker stuff, like handing him his notes. Okay, I'm

114
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna help you get the Florida Gators head from out

115
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>under the desk.

116
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 3>And he's had a bunch of plastic surgery too, right,

117
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 3>and he's his face looks real different and he oh

118
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>it does. He doesn't wear glasses. I don't think either,

119
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 3>so he's like some can't see very well either.

120
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably not.

121
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 1>You know what happened today at ESPN And they made

122
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the announcement everyone in there and went, hey, Berman, did

123
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 1>you hear the Corso news? Oh?

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Is he still there?

<v Speaker 1>Cuz I don't know if you heard of what Lee's

126
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? You should check it out.

127
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Man.
