Bobby Bones
Talking football. And they all wear a whistle yet Stupid. But what did you expect?
Eddie
It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
25 Whistles. Hey, welcome to the show. I have so many notes. We can start with your Dallas Cowboys. You blow the whistle. There you go.
Eddie
Dude, what are we doing? This is amazing. How about that Thanksgiving game? How about it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's great, dude. It's.
Eddie
It's awesome. We went from 0% chance to go into the playoffs to I think now we're at 24. If we beat the Lions, we are 50% chance of making the playoffs.
Bobby Bones
You're do or die. This is elimination game for the Cowboys and for the Chiefs.
Kevin
Yeah, both. Yeah. The Lions are struggling too.
Eddie
Lions are struggling. Nobody looks amazing. Everybody looks beatable.
Bobby Bones
You mean in all of the NFL?
Eddie
All the NFL.
Bobby Bones
The Cowboys offense does look really good, dude. The offense has, you know, and the defense. It's the defense that looks so different. You're right. Yeah. I'm rooting for you guys.
Eddie
It's a brand new team, dude. I think.
Bobby Bones
Don't do it. Don't be a Cowboy, though. Here's the problem. You're going to get so excited because here you are going. We went from zero to. Well, you weren't at zero notice.
Eddie
I'm not saying Super Bowl.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
I'm not saying Super Bowl.
Bobby Bones
I'm being a Cowboys fan, too. Yeah. And I root for you guys against everybody except the Chiefs. So I didn't want you to win that game because it cost us money.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
It's okay.
Eddie
But at that point I was like, screw the money. I'm a Cowboys for life kind of guy. So to me, at that point, winning that game as a Cowboys fan was number one.
Bobby Bones
The Cowboys and Lions, that is for both teams, pretty much a playoff game.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You guys can't lose again. No. And you kind of have to come up in the NFC East. Well.
Eddie
Well, not necessarily. Like we can lose as long as the Eagles lose.
Bobby Bones
If the aren't you two games back.
Eddie
We're one and a half. One and a half games back because we have that tie. Do not forget that little tie against Green Bay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
That could be the difference maker, dude. If we come back and win the division. This is insane.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
They're one ahead of you. The Lions, that is. And you're playing them this week. They're one ahead of you in the standings. They're the eight seed right now. You're the nine.
Eddie
I mean, it's amazing.
Kevin
And the San Franis seven.
Bobby Bones
There's a lot of clutter in the NFC there.
Kevin
Teams.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
We're going to need a lot of teams to kind of just.
Bobby Bones
You're going to have to. I think you have to win. I think you have to win every game.
Eddie
Yeah. Starting with the Lions, baby.
Bobby Bones
Can you read me the rest of the Cowboys schedule? And we can do the Cowboys and we can move off the Cowboys.
Kevin
I know you're.
Eddie
Oh, dude. It's just. It's been a long. I've been wanting to talk about this for so long.
Bobby Bones
Chomping at so long.
Eddie
Yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
On Thursday, dude, the Cowboys have the Lions.
Kevin
Lions, okay. Vikings.
Bobby Bones
If they don't have a quarterback, that might be one of the worst teams I've ever seen in my life.
Kevin
Oh, it's hard. I feel bad. Even with.
Bobby Bones
Even with their starting quarterback, they're still a really Bad team.
Eddie
I feel bad for Justin Jefferson.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
That's what I feel bad for.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Kevin
And then Chargers can do that.
Bobby Bones
You know, I. Man, it's weird to say, but. Yeah, go ahead.
Kevin
At Commanders.
Eddie
We can do that. Okay.
Kevin
Finish off at the Giants.
Eddie
Oh, we could definitely do that. I mean, again, the. The Cowboys beating the Chiefs. Awesome. It was great. We celebrated.
Bobby Bones
You had to win that.
Eddie
But then the Eagles. But then the Eagles losing. Even more of a celebration. And then the Commanders losing. They weren't really even in the conversation.
Bobby Bones
Eagles lost that game to the Cowboys.
Kevin
I know. And they. The Cowboys are.
Bobby Bones
To the Bears or to the Bears?
Eddie
Excuse me?
Bobby Bones
The Bears. The Bears. The Bears are.
Kevin
The Bears dominated.
Bobby Bones
The Bears are the number one seed right now.
Eddie
Yes. It's crazy, dude. Okay, so anyway, I'm on cloud nine. Just because there's hope on the horizon.
Bobby Bones
I hope that the Cowboys make it.
Kevin
Do you?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, of course I do. Because I like the Cowboys and I have a future on them. I bet to win the super bowl that I keep posting in the Cowboys, a group thread that we're in that I changed the name to, by the way. Our group thread.
Kevin
You did.
Eddie
You did. You did, yeah.
Kevin
Did Eddie say anything at all this weekend?
Bobby Bones
Not really.
Eddie
Maybe I might have said something.
Bobby Bones
Our group chat is now lifelong Latino Cowboys fans and you're in it. I'm the one white guy in the group. It's me and all my Mexican cowboy friends. I posted about 100 bucks way months ago for the Cowboys to win the super bowl. To win $6,000. They're. They're hot. No doubt about it.
Eddie
I bet those odds changed. Not much, but I bet they changed. I think I got them at 11 plus 1100.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what I got.
Kevin
You bet him to win the super bowl, too.
Eddie
I did.
Kevin
I did.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
I'm surprised.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so there you go. There's the Dallas Cowboys. Congratulations to Eddie.
Eddie
Thank you, man.
Bobby Bones
On a massive win.
Eddie
And Mike. Congrats, Mike.
Ad Producer
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And Mike, congratulations. Okay, we'll go to Mike then. Congrats to Texas for being Texas A and M. It was a great two days of football for me. Yeah, I forget. You got it on both ends. NFL and college. I know. I felt like Texas. I think I said this on the show last week. I felt like Texas was primed to come in. And I've never seen Austin and that Texas. Listen, I'm a Texas hater, so if you don't know that, just know that before I say this stuff. I've never Seen that stadium be that alive. Yeah, it was crazy wild, like, just roaring on television. And I've been there, but on television. I've never seen that stadium that amped for anything. You can see, like, the wave of people, like, just going up and down the entire time. Texas A and M coming in. Texas at home as an underdog. They're fired up. They put their wine and cheese away and they just. They did some yelling. They did some yelling, yeah. Thoughts on the game? I thought it was crazy to see A and M kind of be conservative in the second half, like, where they could have just really chomped down and got back in the game. They just could not do anything. They weren't going for it, and Texas just dominated. Yeah, I didn't like what I saw, but I like Arch Manning, and so there's always, like, a little nugget of. Of rainbow in there for me. I like that he's playing pretty well.
Eddie
I feel like he's just run the ball.
Bobby Bones
He runs, man.
Kevin
Always. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
When he ran for that touchdown, like, he. He outran people.
Eddie
Yes, he did.
Bobby Bones
I love, like, when he was going to the end zone, just, like, guard the ball, made sure, like, at all costs, not to lose the ball.
Kevin
It looked good.
Bobby Bones
All right, Kevin, your Patriots have not played yet.
Kevin
Tonight.
Bobby Bones
They play tonight.
Eddie
You got the jacket on.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's a cool jacket.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's cool. Old school jacket.
Eddie
I thought maybe he just bought it because it looked a little wrinkly. Doesn't it look a little wrinkly to you, like he pulled out of the box this morning?
Bobby Bones
Are you waking up with hate in your heart? I know, Always.
Kevin
Eddie's always firing shots at me for no reason at all.
Eddie
I'm team Patriots. We got money on Patriots.
Kevin
Congrats to your Cowboys. And you're over here just like, hey, I like your jacket, but looks like crap, dude. Wow. It was tucked away for the summer, right? I had to pull it out. It's 30 degrees here.
Bobby Bones
I asked about, hey, if these teams get to 10 wins, are they guaranteed to be in the playoffs? I just asked chat GPT based on the history of the NFL, and so historically, 10 wins is often enough. So think about you guys. Team. So the Cowboys, are you seven, seven, four and one or six?
Eddie
Five and one? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Historically, 10 wins is often enough. Teams with 10 wins have made the playoffs 90% of the time since 1990. So you get to 10, you're pretty much in 11 or more wins. 98% of the time. You get to 11, you're for sure. 11, 12. Also a guarantee. So you got to hit 10. And I think I was looking this up for the Chiefs as Well, because they're 6 and 6, but they're also behind their division rivals. Denver's going to win that division, especially with their commanders. Win by one overtime. Go for two overtime. Denver keeps winning. It's crazy.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Eventually, though, I got to stop being a hater and just go, they. They just win games. Same thing with the Bears.
Eddie
That's a weird one.
Bobby Bones
It's a weird one we want to.
Eddie
Say, because they've been bad for so long.
Bobby Bones
But also you're watching them. It's not even just saying it. Like, I'm watching Denver and I'm watching the Bears and every game like, oh, they could lose this game. Yeah.
Kevin
Like, you never feel, if you're a fan, you never feel comfortable never to.
Bobby Bones
Have that good of a record. You'd think there'd be some comfortability with your team.
Kevin
Right.
Bobby Bones
So Denver's going to win that, but. But it's like the Chiefs lost to Jacksonville, like idiots. They're behind Jacksonville, they're behind the Chargers. So I don't know what they're going to. They have to win every game.
Eddie
They do.
Bobby Bones
We need them to win every game.
Eddie
When you texted me after the Cowboys game, like, a little upset because maybe the Cowboys.
Bobby Bones
You put in the wrong thread. Keeping the Cowboys thread. That was our group, our money making thread.
Eddie
I never said anything. You got.
Kevin
I did.
Eddie
Kevin started.
Bobby Bones
Oh, well, he never said anything. Whatever it was. All I knew is I was triggered. Dude, you. I knew.
Eddie
Fired up.
Bobby Bones
I was triggered.
Eddie
And then you're like, yeah, congrats on your little win, dude. You cost us this much money.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, whoa, let me go back to this thread.
Kevin
I knew it. I was sitting there on Thanksgiving. I want. I want to stir the pot a.
Eddie
Little bit about, like, a drink in my hand in life to like, oh.
Bobby Bones
Let me see, Let me see. Kevin goes, congrats on the big win, Eddie. Let's effing go, Bangles. I said, that one hurts our money team for sure. Eddie goes, I know, but that was awesome. No, you did it. I just responded, no, no, no.
Eddie
That was. Wasn't that game awesome?
Bobby Bones
But all I did was say, yeah, that hurts our money team for sure. I wasn't angry. And then you go, I know, but that was awesome.
Eddie
And then what?
Bobby Bones
You say, not really. It keeps Kansas City out of the playoffs and it'll cost us roughly at least another thousand dollars more. So good for you. If the Cowboys lose and the Bengals lose, that's an Eddie -1k day itself.
Eddie
But that did not happen.
Bobby Bones
They didn't.
Kevin
Oh, you go.
Bobby Bones
Joe Burrow's awesome.
Eddie
Yes, he is.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Kevin was kind of stirring it up. I did. And then. And then you jumped in. Make it work.
Eddie
You knew what you were doing. Oh, yeah.
Kevin
I was sitting there and I was just like. Because I enjoyed it. I knew we were going to lose money. I was like, I just want to see what's going on here. Let's see what the boys are doing. So I knew it was either going to trigger Bobby or trigger you.
Bobby Bones
Eddie triggered you Triggered Eddie. That triggered me.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Did you bet on that game at all? Chiefs, Cowboys?
Bobby Bones
I don't think I caught it in time. Oh, no. And I was told.
Eddie
Oh, you were. You were. You weren't in town.
Bobby Bones
That's what it was. I couldn't bet from Arkansas. That's what it was, man. It saved me a lot of money not. Not being in a state. I had a bad day because as soon as I got home, I started betting again.
Kevin
Terrible.
Bobby Bones
I lost so much. I've been on. I. I was on a bad run. Had a decent week to get kind of close. And then I had another bad, like Saturday, Sunday. I don't even bet that much NFL. I just had a bet, but I think I bet two games, lost them both. And I know when to say when. Yeah, I tapped out. It was also kind of a boring Sunday because of all the games that had happened already because there weren't just weren't as many games and the teams kind of sucked.
Kevin
Yeah. The earlier games were decent.
Bobby Bones
We can talk about Arkansas if you want. Yeah.
Eddie
What's. What's. What's going on there?
Bobby Bones
Well, so first. What do you mean what's going on?
Eddie
So you happy?
Bobby Bones
I'm fine. I am indifferent. So when I came on and I would have to go back and listen to me and I won't do that on last week's show because you never.
Eddie
Do or you just don't want to. Both.
Bobby Bones
But if I know me, I don't think even I was sure that we really had Golish because I was like, this is saying that, but it's like it was once small town guy saying it and then the national media ran with it. Yeah.
Kevin
When did it? Because I saw it all over Twitter.
Bobby Bones
It never went official.
Kevin
But it never went official.
Bobby Bones
It was one guy who did not have two sources and trying to be first in Arkansas and said that he had signed. He never Signed. And from what I. And I'm not doing what I heard and stuff, but I know people that. And they were like, hey, trying to get the Ole Miss job. And so Ole Miss job was not going to be open even if Lane left, because I hired the defensive coordinator, but the Auburn job was opened because summer I went to Florida and they thought some. And so he took the Auburn job, which right now is a better job than the Arkansas job. And so we don't have goal. Ish. And then everybody's like, well, this is interesting. And so they hire Silverfield from Memphis, who beat us this year. I posted on Twitter, I didn't know Pittman and Silverfield were racing for pinks. I just am so emotionally burnt of this season, of the last three, four, five years. Whatever, man. I don't know.
Kevin
This year has been a long one for you guys.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I'm sure it'll be fine. It can't be worse, right? Famous last words.
Eddie
I mean, it can, but I mean.
Bobby Bones
We won two games.
Kevin
Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Eddie
But it's. What's crazy about all these games, though, is that you were. Arkansas was in all these games until the last quarter, fourth quarter. And then there's a famous shirt, and they did it again this.
Bobby Bones
This week that people wear in Arkansas says we almost always win.
Eddie
Really? They wear that shirt?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, that's tough.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it sucks. But I'm hoping for. I'm hoping for the best. I have a friend that's a really good friend with him, and he was like, great dude. I was like, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't care how good a dude it is.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
He gave me my friend. I hope he's a good dude. That's great and all, but I want to win games. And like, selfishly, like, I've. I've pumped a lot of money into that football program. Not as much as the whales. No doubt about it. I've not put millions in, but I've put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the football program. And to get nothing and to be. To suck. That sucks. Yeah, they. They had a protest.
Eddie
Where? In Arkansas?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yesterday when they. And it wasn't even really about the new coach. It's about the athletic director.
Kevin
Is it just the way it's been handled or is it everything?
Bobby Bones
It's a travesty. All of us is a travesty. But tis my life being an Arkansas fan.
Eddie
Did you jump in on the protest?
Bobby Bones
Nah.
Kevin
You got out of town.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
You're smart.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No, I was already back home. But we were in Fayetteville.
Kevin
But you were there this weekend. Like, was there a lot of talk of.
Bobby Bones
No, nobody cares. Everybody. Because they knew. They knew that we were. Everybody checked out. There was nothing to do. We're going to go and freeze to death on a Saturday game. And then we lost that game. It was terrible.
Eddie
It was cold out there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was miserable.
Kevin
Just looking forward to basketball now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we already. We already are. We have a big game against Louisville on Wednesday, but we're.02 in quad one games because we've. California. To his credit and to the frustration at the same, he has scheduled, like, every top team in college basketball for us to play this year because he believes we're really good. And so, you know, we played Duke and we played him really close on Thanksgiving night.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
In Chicago. They were up by 10 at one point. We went up by 7. They ended up beating us by 7 or 8 at the end. It was just shooting free throws. We. But we played Duke, and then earlier this year, we got. Michigan State is really good.
Eddie
They are really good.
Bobby Bones
We have Louisville, I think their top five team on Wednesday.
Kevin
So I feel like there's a lot of big matchups already, but college basketball has kind of gotten to that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you can lose. Yeah, you can lose. Yeah, you just want those Quad one wins. You're trying to get a couple of those.
Eddie
Why did they play in Chicago? That wasn't a tournament, was it?
Bobby Bones
No, just a holiday classic.
Eddie
Okay. I saw a lot of teams playing there.
Kevin
Turkey Classic.
Eddie
I turn it on, I'd see the Bulls logo and be like, wait, what?
Bobby Bones
Were there a lot of teams? I just knew the Arkansas Duke game.
Eddie
Now, there were like, two or three games there.
Bobby Bones
That makes sense then.
Kevin
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I didn't know that. So, yeah, it kind of sucks for us as Arkansas fans. Like, we're.
Eddie
We're.
Kevin
Yeah. So you have nothing. You're. You're indifferent, like, towards football. Towards football, that is. Specifically.
Bobby Bones
What do you want me to do?
Kevin
Yeah, I know.
Bobby Bones
I looked at our record over the last 10 years. We haven't had a conference winning season in 10 years. Our best in conference now. We've had a couple seven and four. You know, when Petrino was there, Sam Pittman had one good year. But we have never had a winning conference. If 500 counts as winning. I think we've had two in 10 years, but we've never been over.500 in conference. It sucks, man. I'm. And I know that when the calendar changes and here comes August. Next year, I'll be fired up again. But I'm. I'm tired, I'm sad. Yeah, I've spent a bunch of money and got nothing back from it.
Kevin
It's only a Cowboys fan.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Except they don't donate to their team.
Kevin
They don't buy merch and spend money.
Eddie
Most of them leave, though, so. So what do you. What do you give Silverfield? Like, what's the expectation?
Bobby Bones
You give him, like, one.
Eddie
But, like, as a fan base, what do you guys give.
Bobby Bones
Three years.
Eddie
Three years.
Bobby Bones
It. It can move quicker. We've seen with money, with resources, with. He's going to bring a general manager, which we didn't have prior, just for football. So I do. I'm just so indifferent. I'm numb toward it. And I'm sure if I reach out, he'll come on the show, but I don't even want to talk with him. I'm kind of over football.
Eddie
You want to wait till the brain's over.
Kevin
Mentally exhausting.
Bobby Bones
I'm over Arkansas football. You just get beat with a belt so much. You stay away from the closet because you know what's in the closet? The belt.
Kevin
The belt. Yeah. Bigger belt.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Hey, man, it's tough.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it sucks.
Kevin
Well, you got the Panthers.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Hey, that's a crazy game, huh? I wish that was, like, my real team, you know, it's my fake team started, dude.
Eddie
It's never too much.
Bobby Bones
I don't have, like, a life, lifetime relationship with it. I know, but I am. I keep pounding.
Eddie
You always keep pounding.
Bobby Bones
Keep pounding. Our parlay. I did hit my. Indiana minus 28 and a half at Purdue. Yeah, yeah. Oregon minus seven at Washington. Who was that? Is that Brandon?
Eddie
No, it wasn't me.
Kevin
Okay, then it was Brandon.
Bobby Bones
So that's another win. Yeah. And then you guys lost it.
Kevin
Yeah, we lost. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin
Oklahoma, man. Come on.
Eddie
I thought at number 3aM would do better than that.
Bobby Bones
I did make a lot of notes, so let's just start going down the notes here. So Lane Kiffin goes to lsu, and I thought that it was. Now, we have seen a bit since, but I thought Lane was super soft after the game when he goes to that reporter who looked like a child, and it's like, you call me a hoe.
Kevin
You should.
Bobby Bones
Don't call people hoes. That was super soft, Elaine, because he didn't even. I felt like people were like this, this. He was a reporter, a podcast or whatever. Did you guys see him? Yeah, I saw him. He looks like he's 25 years old.
Eddie
Yeah, I saw his response to it. So did he really call him a hoe?
Bobby Bones
No. So here's the thing. Kind of, but not really. So Ludacris says, you can't turn a hoe into a housewife because a hoe don't act right. Now, he wasn't really calling Lane a hoe. He was saying that a zebra can't change his stripes. Basically just using a funnier line. It's the same thing.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And he said that about Lane Kiffin. Can't turn a hoe into a housewife, meaning Lane has always left. Lane has always been drama. Lane has won a lot of places, but he's been the same person. Like, you're never surprised by. By what he just did. And so he's like, can't turn a hoe into a housewife. And so that went a bit viral. So Lane Kiffin went up to him after the game with cops surrounding him. So that happens. And I'm like, that's so soft. Elaine Kiffin to do that. Because he had all his cops with him. Like, the cops do surround the head coach.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
In the sec, he's doing it and there's a camera around, like, super soft. So then after that, Lane talked about it in the press conference, and then he called the kid and apologized that night.
Kevin
Oh, he did?
Bobby Bones
He did. Okay, so that's not even where it ends. And it's not even about Lane going to lsu. That's the funniest part. Before, maybe right before they had, like, announced it, Lane sent that kid a text message with a picture of him wearing a hat that said hoe on it. So he was admitting he's a hoe.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
I do have the audio. This is from a podcast. This is gonna be from my phone.
Eddie
Called me and apologized on Saturday.
Bobby Bones
It was about a two minute conversation. Then at 7:15pm amidst all this craziness on Twitter, the same number that called me, it was laying on the other end apologizing.
Eddie
And I apologize for my role in.
Bobby Bones
It too, because it's all really silly. The same dude, the exact same dude is sending me a meme of him.
Eddie
Picking up the hoe hat and putting down.
Bobby Bones
Or not, you know, picking up the whole hat over the housewife hat. That happened.
Kevin
I've been going through it this weekend trying to defend my friend Ben.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Kevin
I've known Ben since I was like.
Bobby Bones
So the funny that Lane then sends him the picture going. Yeah.
Kevin
And I'm not even surprised he did that.
Bobby Bones
No. Man.
Kevin
Such a Lame thing to do, but I feel like.
Bobby Bones
I felt like it was so soft. Like go up to that kid with cameras around and like challenge him after the game.
Kevin
Also, he sounds like a 50 year old guy.
Eddie
He does.
Kevin
It doesn't sound nearly as young as he looks.
Bobby Bones
I wish I knew the. I mean, I can. I wanna. I wanna credit this kid because. And credit the podcast. Sudo. Sudo. Sudo TV is the account that I took it from Su dutv on Tick Tock. So anyway, can't turn a hoe into a housewife because the hoe don't act right. A lot of pressure on Link Kevin at LSU now. But he'll win. Yeah, he'll for sure win.
Kevin
They're happy.
Bobby Bones
The big debate was they gonna let him coach through with Ole Miss and you never. You couldn't. And the fact that Lane was trying to make himself a victim going, they won't let me coach. No, they will let you coach me. Stay with the team. Yeah.
Eddie
You're leaving.
Bobby Bones
I was surprised that defensive coordinator is now the head coach. And at first they were like, they're going to take the defense coordinator, make them the interim coach, but it was like, interim head moving on.
Kevin
Yeah. And they even said before Lane decided what he was going to do, they were like, we have a plan. So they've had this in the plans, which is. I don't know if it's like a. We just got to have a plan and this is a guy we're going to hire or if they actually wanted that.
Bobby Bones
The. All the students from Ole Miss yelling at Lane on the tarmac with middle fingers when he got on the plane to go to LSU yesterday.
Kevin
Oh, I didn't see that.
Bobby Bones
Hilarious.
Kevin
Damn, they all loved him like a month ago.
Bobby Bones
They did. And they all now go, you know, to the private airport and they're like three rows deep, like 40 students, middle fingers in the air. Screw you, Lane. F you, Lane. It was awesome. Gotta love college football. The guy that was parked out in front of the Chancellor's house the night before because. So Lane went to the Chancellor's house. They're supposedly having a meeting and they're watching the Iron Bowl. Really? Just to see if Ole Miss would make it to the SC championship game. Because if Auburn would have beat Alabama, Ole Miss would have been in the SEC championship game against Georgia next week.
Eddie
This is the chancellor of who?
Bobby Bones
Ole Miss.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So supposedly Lane was there trying to negotiate that he could still coach the team, but the guy was at the chancellor's house and he's like, Here's a picture. There's Lane's Bentley.
Kevin
I saw that.
Bobby Bones
There's. And he's, like, so weird. These fans are crazy. Like, I get it because you're in a small town, too. All these college towns. For the most part, except for Austin in the sec. What other big talent, big city in the sec. Oh, yeah. Vandy. Nashville.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But most are college towns.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you know, where people live.
Kevin
That was like the Brian Kelly where they sat outside of his office. Like, he's in there getting fired right now.
Bobby Bones
At least that was the office, though.
Kevin
That's true. That is true. A house is weird.
Eddie
Lane Kiffin drives a Bentley.
Bobby Bones
Huh.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Seems like a Bentley guy. Yeah, he does.
Kevin
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I see. Sports car kind of guy. Corvette.
Bobby Bones
Bentley's like, cool. Luxury.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, I had one. Did you like it?
Eddie
Liked it. Yeah. Because it wasn't, like, too fancy, and it wasn't. I didn't feel right in the middle.
Bobby Bones
I didn't feel like it was screaming. I don't want anything that screams money. But I don't know what screams money. Sometimes I have no idea.
Eddie
Gold.
Bobby Bones
Well, I mean, like a car. Because I felt like that was. Look like a sedan.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And my wife's like, it's not really a sedan. I'm like. But unless, you know.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Unless you're like a car person. It just looks like a normal car.
Kevin
Definitely more discreet sometimes.
Eddie
Looks like a Genesis.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
They're nice. They look nice.

Here's something that I pulled. So this was after the Arkansas game, losing to Missouri. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz quote, I think the SEC is better when Arkansas is good. As the guys from Arkansas hope they can find the right coach and get this thing going again. Because this is a special stadium when it's sold out and the fans are rocking. I know Arkansas fans believe in the Hogs, and so I wish the best for them. That's a bless your heart.
Eddie
It is a bless your heart.
Bobby Bones
We're so bad that the opposite coach who's from Arkansas is like having be like, it's okay, guys. You'll be there again.
Kevin
Oh, no. Pouring salt in the wound.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so whatever, man. I pulled this. World's largest city. Speaking of college towns, this is the complete opposite. Straight World's largest cities based on population.
Eddie
Oh, the world's largest.
Bobby Bones
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Kevin
Are we guessing?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I got the top 10. Go, Kevin. Kevin Tokyo, number one with 37 million people.
Eddie
Good job, dude. Eddie, you gotta go.
Bobby Bones
Like, LA did not make it.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
Kevin, you've lived in Europe too, huh?
Kevin
Yeah, but those are Dubai.
Bobby Bones
Dubai. No, Eddie, New York City. 10.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin
There you go.
Bobby Bones
You guys are one to one. Three strikes drop.
Kevin
Hong Kong.
Eddie
Seems big.
Kevin
I just know there's a lot of people there.
Bobby Bones
No.
Kevin
Wow.
Eddie
London Town.
Kevin
No, London town. It's not a thing.
Eddie
London.
Bobby Bones
Last one.
Kevin
What's a big city in?
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna tell you. I don't. A couple of these in, like, the top 15 I never even heard of.
Kevin
Really?
Eddie
We'll never get those.
Kevin
Moscow.
Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
Dang. Okay, I got it.
Bobby Bones
Yep. Rio de Janeiro for the win. Nope. Dang it. Number two is in India. Oh, yeah, you say it. India cities.
Kevin
Oh, yeah, that one.
Eddie
India.
Kevin
The one in India. Lol.
Bobby Bones
India.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Bangladesh.
Bobby Bones
Anything. Delhi. D E L H I. Number two, most populated city in the world. Number three is in China.
Eddie
No, no, no, no, no, no. I know one. It's like sing du or something. Oh, I don't know, dude.
Kevin
Yeah, I have.
Bobby Bones
You can't name a China China city at all?
Eddie
Yeah. Hong Kong, Singapore.
Bobby Bones
Are you just yelling things?
Eddie
Yes.
Kevin
Thailand. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Shanghai at number three.
Kevin
Oh, Shanghai nights. Dude, great movie. Great movie.
Bobby Bones
Number four. I'm going to tell you, I don't even know what country this is in. Come on.
Eddie
Do you know anything? Like, anything?
Kevin
I.
Bobby Bones
If I were guessing, I would say Brazil, but I don't know that it's Brazil. It's. The flag's green with a red circle in it.
Eddie
Green with a red circle in it.
Bobby Bones
23 million people. Number four, most populated, Lima city. Dhaka. D, H, A, K A.
Eddie
Never heard of that.
Kevin
No idea.
Bobby Bones
Mike, where's Dhaka, Bangladesh? Oh, there's a lot of bot farms in Bangladesh. Oh, a lot of scammers.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Whenever they did the Twitter turnaround where it was like, you can now see where people's accounts were tweeting from. A lot of the political accounts were actually set up in these countries.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. Sao Paulo at number five. Brazil, Mexico City at six.
Eddie
Wow. That's big. I've been there.
Bobby Bones
How'd you not guess it?
Eddie
I don't know. I didn't think about that one.
Bobby Bones
Just look down at your hands.
Eddie
Did you know when I was there? Yeah. The color of my hands when I was there? One time, there's an earthquake. I slept through it.
Bobby Bones
Big one.
Eddie
Enough to drop. To drop frames from the wall.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Kevin
That's pretty good.
Bobby Bones
But you didn't. Nothing nice.
Eddie
Slept through it.
Bobby Bones
Cairo, Egypt, Beijing. China hits with the second one. Why did you think of Beijing Olympics? Mumbai, which I believe is also in India.
Kevin
India, right. Yep.
Bobby Bones
Osaka, which I believe is Japan. New York. And then here. This is outside the top 10. Karachi. 17 million people. K A, R A C H I. Karashi. My trips.com never recommends Karashi. I don't know where that Is. I never seen this flag. It's got, like, a moon and a star and a stripe. Where's Karashi? Pakistan. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin
Probably. Why?
Bobby Bones
Okay. Chongqing.
Eddie
That's China.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
China's got three in the top 15.
Eddie
That's the one I was trying to pronounce.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't know. Okay, here's one I don't know know. Number 14, Kensha. And it's a blue flag with a stripe going corner to corner with a star in the upper half. Okay, Kenshasa, that. That seems to me like something east, like Singapore, China.
Eddie
I'm thinking, like, Kazakhst. Kazakhstan.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if it's in the stands.
Eddie
You know what I mean?
Bobby Bones
It's like Middle East.
Eddie
I think it's a stand, really.
Bobby Bones
Mike, Where's Kinshasa? The Republic of Congo. Oh, Africa.
Eddie
Way off.
Bobby Bones
Wow. And then the final one is Lagos. Lagos.
Eddie
Oh. Oh, Lagos.
Bobby Bones
Lagos.
Eddie
Are those islands.
Kevin
There's no way.
Bobby Bones
16 million people in Lagos. And the flag is green. White, green.
Eddie
Philippines.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't know the answer. Like, I'm. I guess I'm shocked. I don't even heard of some of these places. Lagos. Anything.
Eddie
Guys, before you tell us, my guess is Philippines.
Kevin
Jamaica.
Bobby Bones
Mike. Nigeria. Africa. Coming in. Coming in strong. They're a top 15. Oh, man.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
I'm now getting texts about. Like, why am I getting coaches about. Text about the coaching search now?
Eddie
These, like, friends.
Bobby Bones
I don't even know who it is. It says, I don't know who I'm on with here. Isn't that weird?
Kevin
You're in a group chat.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, and no numbers pop up from that group chat.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. 501s, which means they're both Arkansas.
Eddie
But no names because I don't have.
Bobby Bones
Them say to my phone, Huh. I don't know. All right. Anyway, I kept that screenshot. That'd be fun to see if you guys could guess the cities, because I felt totally stupid trying to read those.
Eddie
And we did pretty bad.
Kevin
I didn't know who. Really bad.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know who any of them were. Ohio State crushes Michigan. Although at the very beginning of the game, I was like, here we go again.
Kevin
Yeah, the interception. But once I kicked another field goal, I was like, ah, yeah, you guys are done now.
Bobby Bones
Because it was six nothing, then six three. And then Ohio State kind of. Yeah. Had control of it since then, but it looked miserable.
Kevin
Cold. Yeah, that. In the. Illinois. Did you see the Illinois game?
Bobby Bones
Snow? Oh, yeah.
Kevin
There's, like, nobody there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I saw Bielema with Like the ski mask on, covering his face.
Eddie
Yeah, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's see what other games again? Oklahoma beat lsu. That was an ugly game. The whole game is ugly.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oklahoma does not have an offense. It's like they just should have their defense. Like, there's practice mode on Madden. Or college football where you can play only defense. They should just play defense and just try to score on defense.
Kevin
Yeah. Because it's the best shot.
Bobby Bones
It is not good. All right, let's see. I'm just so. I have to get all these helmets off my desk. I'm so grossed out by college football.
Eddie
Oh, you want to just take them all down?
Bobby Bones
Diego Pavia. Hey, that's a big Vanderbilt win. That's a big Vanderbilt win. And now you have money on Pavi to win the Heisman. He's not going to win the Heisman. But how awesome.
Kevin
He's moved up. He's third favorite.
Eddie
He's not going to win, Kevin.
Bobby Bones
So he's moved up.
Kevin
You get the invite to New York. You never know. No, I'm riding, remember? I'm riding.
Bobby Bones
I didn't want to buy it after this week.
Eddie
Oh, you don't?
Bobby Bones
Not anymore. Because he's not going to win. Because Indiana, they're going to play Ohio State.
Kevin
But if Indiana loses to Ohio State.
Eddie
You know, you think Mendoza is the guy.
Bobby Bones
I think Mendoza is probably the big favorite. But, yeah, it's exciting for Vanderbilt fans.
Kevin
Yeah. And they pulled away at the end there, too. Let them have it.
Bobby Bones
Tennessee didn't beat a single team, I think over 500, if you look at that. Like, I don't think they have a quality win. If you look at their schedule, I think Texas A and M is a bit dealing with this as well, where they played, like, basically all the bad teams in the sec. And so we're just like, man, they must be awesome. And I think they are really good. But I think we kind of declared their awesomeness before they actually got to prove they were awesome. You looking at it?
Kevin
Yeah. They lost to Georgia.
Bobby Bones
Like, look at their wins. I don't think they have any quality.
Kevin
Syracuse, uab, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico State and Florida.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Tennessee didn't beat anybody. Yeah, our boy at Kentucky got fired.
Eddie
Saw that.
Bobby Bones
Oops.
Kevin
Did he? I didn't see that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, paying him out, like $36 million.
Kevin
Well, they just got smoked by Louisville, didn't they? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Rivalry game. But ours is supposed to be rivalry. Who cares?
Kevin
College football. Who cares?
Bobby Bones
I'm just. I gotta get the helmets off my desk. It's driving me crazy. I'll take him to the house.
Eddie
I thought you were gonna say Goodwill. Like, dang, dude.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, no, no. I don't care. Did you go to the Y?
Eddie
I did go to the Y over the break, man. It was crazy. So, like, I take my kids to go practice basketball as much as we can. And our gym was closed, the one that we normally go to. So we went to the Y they were having. It's like two gyms, right? And it's split by kind of like a divider, but it's halfway open. So you kind of see what's going on over there. And there was a pickup game going on and I could just start hearing things get a little fired up. It was like you can hear two guys just kind of bickering. Yeah, men, men. Like, get off me, bro. Like that kind of stuff. And like, hey, whoa, settle down, settle down, settle down.
Bobby Bones
Whoa.
Eddie
Whoa. Dude. Finally, after like five minutes of just escalating, it just went like, you want some of this? And just everyone just started going at it. And I was like, I grabbed my two kids. I'm like, let's get out of here. I'm not sticking around to see what happens here. I've never seen that before.
Bobby Bones
Pick up.
Eddie
Scared you what?
Kevin
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Well, maybe not scared me, but like the fact that my kids were there and who knows where this is going to go. There's some big dudes that were about to throw down. I didn't even want to wait to see.
Bobby Bones
I'd probably give a phone out.
Kevin
Yeah, you would have told my kids, go to the car.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, wait for dad in the car. I gotta see this. Yeah, I get it, dude.
Eddie
I mean, these guys. It's funny because, like every time I get my kids to play, I think it's just a perfect situation because I have a 12 year old and a 10 year old and they're about the same skill wise. You know, one of them, the older one's, just a little better because he's just has more experience. But having them play one on one is like the best scenario for them. They just, it makes them both better.
Bobby Bones
But they always fight.
Eddie
Like, it always turns into like a get off me, bro situation. And like, I don't know how to do this. And then when I saw that fight, I'm like, I guess this never ends. You know, like the, the fight during a basketball game.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I think I want to fight people when they take a parking spot from me. I think the competitive, if you get disrespected.
Kevin
Yeah. Especially by your brother.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
You got to ref it.
Eddie
I tried to, but, I mean, to me, I'm like, all right, guys, one on one. This is good practice for both of you guys. That always ends up with, like, he's failing me.
Bobby Bones
He's found me first.
Eddie
Okay, guys.
Bobby Bones
You think the College Football Playoff has ruined the excitement of the regular season? Yeah. You do?
Kevin
I do.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. I don't at all.
Eddie
I'm ready for the playoffs.
Bobby Bones
It's so exciting that all these teams still have a chance.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
I don't necessarily hate the playoff by any means, but I'm just saying, like, even Ohio State, they're like, oh, this game is for everything. Against Michigan, it's like, not really. Ohio State loses. Are still going to make it. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But the rivalry is what I felt like that was about. Yeah. More than it added.
Kevin
Even more.
Bobby Bones
Michigan would have gotten the playoff if they won this.
Kevin
Oh, the other day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah. But then it wouldn't have done anything in the playoff.
Bobby Bones
That's okay. I think it's added a lot to it because you have, like, 20 teams all still, like, in the mix that we're paying attention to. It's, like, exciting to watch. A Vanderbilt might not even make it, and they've got. They're gonna go 10 and two. They went 10 and two.
Kevin
Yeah. And. But the grand scheme of things, it's like, okay, yeah, this is more fun. But when you look at it week to week, it's like, okay, if they lose, they're all right. If they lose, they're okay.
Bobby Bones
But do you feel like the playoffs in the NFL because it's the same way? Do you feel like it's less exciting because of the playoffs in the NFL? Do you feel like it should just be the best four teams in the NFL play each other in a four way? It doesn't take away from the playoffs to you, does it?
Kevin
No, it doesn't. But I don't know. Maybe it's a tradition thing for me with college football. I just loved how every single week was just like, this is it. This is the big week. This is a big week. And then the next week could be the biggest week. And then just build up, build up. And then if you lose, it's like, oh, you're done.
Eddie
So it's just the change that you don't like.
Kevin
I've gotten used to it, but I still loved, like, the crazy upsets that ruined an Alabama season.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I just feel like I took too many fan bases out of being idiots. And I love idiots camping outside of Chancellor's homes. And like I love all that. And we, I mean there's like 16, 17 teams right now that are still kind of in the mix.
Kevin
Maybe it's because I don't have like super loyal to a team either. That could be it.
Bobby Bones
And I could be because I know my team will every one through 10. So I'm hoping to like at some point scrounge in.
Kevin
You got a shot.
Bobby Bones
But I feel like I really like the playoffs.
Eddie
Yeah, I do college football, but like Texas like so what do you think Texas will make the playoffs?
Bobby Bones
No chance.
Eddie
Okay. I just feel like there a lot of times it's like you're watching Texas or watching a team like Texas and be like, all right, week four, we're like, oh, they lose one more, it's over. And then they beat, you know, A and M. You're like, ooh, could they be back?
Bobby Bones
Well, you can't go in. I was a three loss team. There are too many two loss teams that aren't going to get in. And Texas did beat Vanderbilt, but.
Kevin
And they beat some good teams. That's the crazy part.
Bobby Bones
You can't lose three games a season like this year and get into the playoff.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Texas will not go in over Vanderbilt even though they beat Vanderbilt and they scheduled harder than Vanderbilt.
Kevin
You ever thought you would say that?
Bobby Bones
No, never.
Kevin
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
But a three loss team is not going to go in over a bunch of these two lawsuits. Sark was politic as soon as that game was over. He was like, they will just not be the same. Why do we schedule it? Look at all.
Kevin
Yeah, that was awesome.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If the weird part's going to be if BYU beats Texas Tech, which I don't think they will, but if they do beat Texas Tech, BYU gets that spot. And a lot of teams are left out because that's an at large spot. Because Texas Tech is for sure if they don't win their championship game. The craziest of all those Duke going into the AC championship.
Kevin
Yeah. And they're like 500 or like a little bit above 500.
Bobby Bones
They lost in North Carolina State this year which is in conference, but it wasn't counted as a conference game because it was already scheduled before.
Kevin
Before they changed conferences.
Bobby Bones
So yeah, so there are 500 team playing in the conference championship game and.
Eddie
If you win that championship, you're in.
Bobby Bones
No, not necessarily. The top what five conference champions go in. Yeah, it's the power four ACC could not have a person in The. In the game if, like, James Madison is ranked over Duke. If Duke wins, gotcha. If Virginia gets in, they're ranked high enough because they'll be ranked higher than the. It's probably going to be James Madison anyway. I like it. I just want to know what Kevin thought about it.
Kevin
Yeah, I'm more of a traditionalist, I guess. I like the old school.
Bobby Bones
You didn't have a team, though, so it was easier to root for just big people to fall.
Kevin
Yes.
Bobby Bones
If you don't have a team.
Kevin
Yeah, that's probably what it was.
Bobby Bones
Did it suck when Tennessee lost or. Not really?
Kevin
Oh, man, no, because I was.
Eddie
I was. You're not a fan?
Kevin
This is.
Bobby Bones
I got a shot to win two grand, baby.
Eddie
You're not a fan.
Kevin
I was rooting for Diego more than anybody this weekend.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he should go to New York. Man, how crazy. When Clark Lee said, we're here to win a national championship, and Diego Pavi was like, I'm here to win a Heisman.
Eddie
And we're like, okay, okay, guys.
Kevin
That's cute.
Bobby Bones
And now they're 10 and 2 and he's going to be in New York at the Heisman ceremony, I would assume.
Kevin
Yeah, yeah, he'll definitely be there.
Eddie
I mean, he sat in this chair and said that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're like, okay, dude, we're glad you came in. So we're not going to push back, but okay, dude.
Kevin
Thanks for the helmet, dude.

My uncle lives there actually. You guys met him when we're in Fayetteville.
Eddie
Oh, uncle show.

Uncle Jerry.
Eddie
Uncle Jerry.
Kevin
Yeah, I remember Uncle Jerry. Shout out Uncle Jerry. He listened to this show all the time actually too. So yeah, we went out there for a few days, surprised him, had a great time, family flew in from Tahoe, from Boston, all over and we're there for A couple days. It was awesome.
Bobby Bones
What'd you guys do? It was like the traditional Thanksgiving nothing.
Kevin
I mean, we don't have any.
Eddie
You didn't cook?
Kevin
No, I didn't cook. I cut the turkey for the first time, though.
Eddie
You were the one.
Kevin
I was the one, dude. Have you ever done it?
Eddie
Yeah, every time.
Kevin
Really?
Eddie
I'm the. I'm the head of the household, so I usually cut the turkey.
Kevin
Yeah. Do you have, like, a technique down.
Eddie
I start with the breast right on the middle and then slice it and then end with the end with, like, all the dark meat.
Kevin
Okay.
Eddie
The legs.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Eddie
What'd you do?
Kevin
I did legs first.
Bobby Bones
Microwave.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. You went legs first.
Kevin
I went legs first, dude. It looked good. I watched a YouTube video. Of course, while doing it, I was like, I gotta figure out how to do this. But it looked really good and tasted really good. Food was good. We're on the lake too, so it was a good time.

The College Football Playoff automatically includes the five highest ranked conference champions. They can come from any conference power or group of five. So SEC champ will get in for sure. And whomever doesn't win will for sure get in Big Ten, Big 12. But if. Let's say James Madison wins and they're in the Sun Belt, I think if. I'm just going from memory, if they're in the Sunbelt and they win and they're ranked higher than the accident champ, I think it could keep the freaking ACC from having a team.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Man. That'd be wild. If Duke want wins the ACC in Miami.
Kevin
Sitting out and.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
My foot is killing me. Like, it's even hard to concentrate on whatever you guys are saying because my. We went to the Brett Eldridge show last night and I haven't walked around on it as much as I did like yesterday because we went, parked, walked in, did the thing where you have to sit in a seat.
Eddie
Do you get dropped off now?
Bobby Bones
We drove.
Eddie
No, no. Like. Like, does your wife drop you off the front?
Bobby Bones
No, she's pregnant.
Eddie
I know, but you have the. The handicap.
Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
We had a pretty good parking spot because Brett's like, I got you a parking spot.
Eddie
Oh, okay. That's good.
Bobby Bones
So we didn't, like, park.
Kevin
That's nice.
Bobby Bones
But it's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I haven't walked on it as much, man. I woke up. First of all, the show didn't start until 9 on a Sunday night. And we didn't get back or we'd have gone to another show like Friday or Saturday. That's three shows, so I didn't get started till 9, so I didn't get home until 11:30, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. And my foot is just like this because this all. It's the first time I've walked on it really this much.
Eddie
Do you have first day of school? Kind of like can't sleep for what? Like whenever you come back from like a little break. I kind of had that last night.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no. Because I had late night out and I was already like, oh, tired. I mean, I know I'm gonna be sleepy and my leg is killing me, but I wasn't gonna miss that show. So. Yeah, no. You guys have been talking some momo jumbo. I've been here.
Kevin
Arkansas. Do you remember?
Bobby Bones
I do remember all of it, but, man, I'm not. My leg has kept me from being totally focused. All right, we're done. Thank you all. Eddie, anything you want to add?
Eddie
Oh, man, we're good. It's good to be back with you guys.
Bobby Bones
If there's anything that I missed. That Alabama Auburn game was good till the very, very end. Bad fumble.
Kevin
Yeah, I was asleep, but I watched majority of the game.
Bobby Bones
I was asleep for the two point conversion with the. No, I wasn't asleep. I was at the show. I knew it was something. The two point conversion. The Broncos and Commanders. I saw Traylon Burks, who played at Arkansas.
Eddie
Yeah, dude who catch.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I didn't see it live. I just saw the clip. But 100 times I saw it live.
Eddie
It was amazing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. And they talked about how he didn't do so good in Tennessee, but he's here now.
Bobby Bones
He's been hurt the whole time.
Kevin
This is his first touchdown in three years.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
First round draft pick. He was awesome at Arkansas. Oh, those are the days. Sad again. I'm hurting and I'm sad. It's cold outside.
Eddie
It is cold, man.
Bobby Bones
Here's what I learned. People in Arkansas that claim they know crap don't know crap about what's happening with the program. Like, nobody called it.
Kevin
It's probably like that everywhere.
Bobby Bones
Nobody called it. People called the wrong. Nobody called it. So. All right, that's all you guys. Have a great rest of the day. And if you got this far, send me a DM on Instagram. Just be like, hey, got to the end of 25 whistles on the day that you were complaining about your leg.

Pickup basketball fights:
Conversational, humorous, a bit weary (especially from Bobby regarding Arkansas), with intertwining of personal betting, fandom, and astute if lighthearted football analysis. The group doesn't shy from venting frustration but finds comic relief and camaraderie in shared sports suffering.
This episode is a venting session for long-suffering fans (mostly Arkansas and the Cowboys), a place for candid sports analysis, and a showcase of the absurdity and drama that makes college football so beloved. From rapidly shifting playoff odds to coaching rumor mills and meme-worthy coach-reporter beef, the crew runs through the emotional rollercoaster of late-season football—with plenty of laughs, group therapy, and honest reflection along the way.
