[Kevin]

This is a podcast called 25 whistles. Talking Baske.

[Ad Read Host]

They all wear a whistle yet Stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

But what did you expect?

[Eddie]

It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, welcome to the show. Blow the whistle. Thank you. I didn't feel like Yukon was going to win. I. I felt like Yukon was going to win. Sorry I said that. You said, no, they're not the favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did win.

[Kevin]

And they, they, they got. I mean, they murdered them. Yeah, Illinois never really had it.

[Eddie]

No, you're thinking of the wrong game.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, Illinois never.

[Kevin]

Oh, you're talking about women's.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, no, Illinois never really had a chance to cheer. I will agree with that. I'm saying, yeah, I was watching some

[Kevin]

of both of those games were like.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree they're bad games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both games kind of sucked. Yeah, I was surprised the Michigan in Arizona game was as bad as it was bad. Yeah. Imagine you flew all the way out There from Arizona to see that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever gone to a really far game and then got blown out? I have many times being an Arkansas fan. It's happened many times. It sucks. It's the worst because you just want to go home and you can't get home.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I went to opening game, Patriots off of super bowl win, and they played the Chiefs, and this is the one. They. I don't even think they had Mahomes then. And they lost by, like, 21. Opening night, raise the banner, all that kind of stuff. And the Patriots lost by, like, 21 points or something. And we flew all the way across country.

[Bobby Bones]

At least it was only game one.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And it was coming off super bowl win, so that helps, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I went to the Las Vegas bowl once, and first of all, why did I go to the Las Vegas ball?

[Eddie]

Dude, I've been to, like, four of those.

[Bobby Bones]

But I. I don't live out west. You're probably living in California when that happened.

[Kevin]

How old were you when you went to the Vegas Bowl?

[Bobby Bones]

I was living in Austin.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So I was Vegas. Yeah. But I don't go. I don't go to Vegas. I mean, I don't do Vegas. No. I went for the game. It's miserable.

[Kevin]

It's.

[Bobby Bones]

What a terrible bowl.

[Eddie]

Who'd they play? Do you remember?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

And it's cold.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember being cold. I just remember thinking, why am I here? We're six and six. Where is.

[Kevin]

Where do they have the Vegas Bowl?

[Bobby Bones]

Where the UNLV plays, Right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, it's. It's a drive from the Strip. Not too far, but it's a drive.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we went to UNLV's football facility.

[Kevin]

We did.

[Bobby Bones]

Too much access.

[Kevin]

But they. Now they play where the Raiders play, so I don't even know where the old school.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they do.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, it used to be their field. They had their own field.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It was just terrible. And then I was like, I'm a loser for even coming, and I'm a loser because we just lost.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's a. That's a tough bowl to go to.

[Bobby Bones]

And we've all. I've also been to, like, away games, even in SEC play, where you go and you just want to go home because you got beat. But then there's not a straight flight, so we'd go to, like, Tuscaloosa and watch Alabama beat our brains in. And I couldn't get back to Texas or to Arkansas on a single flight. So you got to go Tuscaloosa to Dallas. Dallas. It was just miserable the next day, and you gotta go back to this crappy hotel. I think most of my away trips have been sad, now that I think about it. Anyway, sorry about your loss.

[Kevin]

You did have Illinois, my Calcutta team.

[Bobby Bones]

How much did you end up winning overall?

[Kevin]

120 bucks. 119.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a massive win.

[Kevin]

I'll take it.

[Bobby Bones]

Great job.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[Kevin]

I'll take. I did tell my kids, though, if Illinois wins the whole thing, I think I would have won, like, 700 bucks. I'm getting new irons, Titleist irons that I've always wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did your kids care?

[Kevin]

Yeah, because they're all into golf now. And so I took them to Golf Galaxy or whatever to go use the simulator, and we just went around looking for clubs. I was like, guys, this is the. These are the irons I've always wanted. And so, yeah, my dreams were kind of crushed.

[Bobby Bones]

You do that to yourself. They weren't the favorite.

[Kevin]

I know, but I think they were

[Bobby Bones]

a point favorite in that game. But they weren't the favorite overall.

[Kevin]

Yeah, they're like, one and a half

[Bobby Bones]

to beat Arizona or Michigan. Those are probably the best two teams, but, man, Yukon, they've been there three the last four years. It's crazy how they just win. I still wouldn't want to go to UConn. It's too cold.

[Eddie]

Connecticut, would you like to play for Dan Hurley?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably, Yeah. I think if he's your coach, he's your freaking guy. If he's not your coach, you hate his guts.

[Kevin]

I'm starting to like him a little more.

[Bobby Bones]

We had a little of that with Muss because Mus was nuts.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And people that we played wouldn't like Muss, and they'd be like, he takes his shirt off when he wins a big game, and. But that was our guy, so we definitely didn't care. That was like. It's like Pat Bev if Pat Bev plays for your team in the NBA. If he did, like, he was a defensive stopper. Big attitude, though, is fighting. And you'd be like, I hate playing against that guy. Such a. But if he played for you, you're like, pat Bev's my dude.

[Eddie]

Everyone wants that guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

To be on their team.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. You hate him if he's not with you. You love him if he is.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you watch the women's anything?

[Kevin]

We had talked about it on. On the last podcast. I was like, you know what? Let me watch. I think it was Texas, ucla.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that was a bad one.

[Kevin]

Oh my goodness, guys, what am I doing?

[Bobby Bones]

That was a bad one. They didn't score any point. It was like four to two at half or something.

[Kevin]

At the end of the first quarter, I think Texas scored six or eight points. I'm like, this is great.

[Bobby Bones]

And they play quarters in women's which is different from what we're used to. Yeah. No, seriously, there were no points at the end of that game.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I didn't watch any of it

[Kevin]

and I watched it with my father in law and we were just like, this is so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw a lot of the clips though from the Gino the Yukon coach and South Carolina coach. Don't. Whatever. And then South Carolina goes and they got whooped.

[Kevin]

I don't really even know what that fight was about. Like, what was that fight?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude. I think, I don't know.

[Eddie]

I think it's something about before the game. From what I saw, he's waiting for something.

[Kevin]

It's like he said, I saw him in a press conference and he said that for his, all his years of coaching, before the game starts, you meet right in the middle and you talk to the coach for a little bit. And he said, I sat there, I stood there and waited for her to show up. She never showed up. But then you bring it up after the game.

[Bobby Bones]

He was also complaining during the game at, at how demonstrative she was and she's like yelling at the refs and she's. I think he was so irritated by that pregame. And again I, I watched like three minutes of it.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that, you know that the big, the, the center though for UCLA. I mean she's like 6, 7. Really, she's just huge.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw a girl that played dual sport, basketball and softball, but for some reason she's playing softball at ucla and she flew back. I don't know if maybe she was a walk on or something on the basketball team, but she flew back to be with the team at the end of the game. But I'm like, why wouldn't you keep playing? Unless she's like a star in softball and not on basketball. Again. I just caught this stuff in headline. I didn't spend any time, as you can see.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Social media watching.

[Kevin]

I honestly hadn't even thought about watching it. But we were talking about it the last podcast. I was like, I might as well watch a little bit of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you've been keeping up with the Kevin. That Pirates prospect at all? Connor Griffin?

[Eddie]

No, Wait, is he the teenager?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, another thing, I've seen some highlights here and there, but I don't know

[Bobby Bones]

too much about it, so I did a dig just so I can. Well, one, I wanted to be educated on him. He's the number one prospect in baseball. He was called up and the reason that I think I jumped in is because I saw his mom crying after like his first hit and they were in. Although if you go to the Pirates, that sucks, dude. Yeah, he's the number one prospect in baseball. He jumped from a top 50 guy to number one in basically one season. A lot of scouts are saying that he's the best that they've seen in years. He is a five tool freak. He hits for average, he hits for power, he steals bases. He can play shortstop or center field. He's 642-25 and runs super fast. As a teenager. He's still 19. In his first pro year in the minors, he batted.333, 21 home runs, 65 stolen bases. He started last year, low A, ended up double A same year. Then he went to AAA and batted.438. He's in the majors at 19 years old. Now the Pirates are already working on a $140 million deal with him before he's even established. They think he's a franchise of the cornerstone or a cornerstone of the franchise. But for me, the Pirates don't pay people.

[Eddie]

No, they're already talking about getting rid of schemes, aren't they? And he's the best pitcher in baseball.

[Bobby Bones]

The best.

[Ad Read Host]

I think he wants to go.

[Eddie]

I don't think he wants to be on the. I think everyone wants to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's not saying. He's not saying he wants to go at all. Like Skeeza's not saying at all he wants to leave. He doesn't say much at all.

[Eddie]

I don't know if I've ever even heard him talk his.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I have a couple times. I've heard him do interviews.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And his girlfriend, because they're not married or anything yet. Right. She's super popular.

[Bobby Bones]

So in his MLB debut, he hit an RBI double in his first at bat. He's the first teenage position player since Juan Soto at 19 years old. He's like if you gave Bobby Witt Jr. Gave him his speed and added more size. And then they say like a Kuna type upside. He's a 30, 30 shortstop. Let's see, no obvious weakness. Doing it way earlier than normal. He played at Jackson Prep School in Mississippi, was a two Sport star. Baseball and football dominated at a national level. He was the Gatorade player of the year in Mississippi, by the way. This is like a year and a half ago.

[Eddie]

I was going to say.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Because he was in high school. He was one of the top high school prospects in the country. He was widely viewed as a potential number one overall draft pick before the draft, although a lot of his maturation has happened in the past year. Once he was already in the minors, like, he was a really great prospect, but he's gotten so good. Just in his one year in the minors, he did not play college baseball. Yeah, there you go.

[Eddie]

Wow, that'd be crazy. Imagine, like, being his friend, being like, dude, we just graduated a year and a half ago, and now you're just hitting dingers and.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Major league.

[Bobby Bones]

In the freaking major league. So there you go. If anyone asks you about Connor Griffin, that's a quick breakdown on who he is.

[Kevin]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Where he's from and what he's been doing so far. Yeah. So there you go. All right.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I like that. I like that. Like, if I'm at, like, the school with the boys and a dad's like, hey, what do you know about that pirate, that new Pirates killer?

[Bobby Bones]

What's his name?

[Kevin]

Connor. Griffin. Yeah, let me tell you about him.

[Eddie]

Oh, the one from Mississippi.

[Bobby Bones]

Griffin.

[Eddie]

Griffin.

[Kevin]

But did you notice? I did Griffins.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I heard you go, because I wasn't sure. So. Okay, so we got a little learning in. I wanted to get. I wanted to do some learning at the beginning. The NCAA is reportedly announcing tournament expansion to 76 teams over the weekend. Why do you hate it?

[Kevin]

Because it's already so long?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not gonna make it any longer. It's gonna be in all the playing games. I have no problem. More teams the better is what I say. You're not making it longer if you're. If you're loading it from the front. I have no problem whatsoever. It gives more teams the ability to play. It's more money for everybody. These schools make a million bucks if they even play in that playing game.

[Kevin]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, okay, I'm all for it. And also, I understand businesses want to make money. Reports started to seep out revealing the NCAA's plans to finally pull the trigger, all on a move that very few people, other than those who make sponsorship cash, are excited about. Both the men's and women's basketball tournaments will be expanded to 76 teams. So probably eight games in that first four. Look at Texas. They're a first four.

[Kevin]

I know. And they went. They went pretty far. Where did they go? Elite 8?

[Eddie]

16. 16.

[Bobby Bones]

16. Yeah. So they're going to probably announce it after tonight's national championship game. Sports Business Journal with the story. I have no problem with it because when they announced. Because it's not 64 anymore. 68. Oh, my God. Expansion doesn't hurt anybody. Did it hurt anything at all? It gave us a couple games on Tuesday that we were like, oh, let's look at it as it passes.

[Kevin]

So it'll be the first. The first eight. Is that what you said?

[Eddie]

The first four?

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Kevin]

You said that before the tournament starts. There'll be eight.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it'll be.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight games.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, eight games.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, 70. 64 to 76. That's 12. That's six games. I don't know. But it's those playing games. It doesn't hurt anybody. It's more basketball, it's more sports on tv. Who gives a crap?

[Eddie]

It is more money.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like, why would you be upset with it? Go ahead.

[Eddie]

I. I just feel like it's. There's no point for it.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no point to have it at 64. There's been like in history, what, two or three. 16 beats a one ever. So that doesn't happen.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then nowadays the Cinderella's doesn't happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So it's kind of like, okay, I'm gonna be watching. Who? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't watch them. I bet you didn't watch the first one.

[Eddie]

Oh, heck no, I didn't watch.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my point. It's more games you're already not watching that you're not gonna watch.

[Kevin]

So why do we care then?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

If we're not gonna watch it and somebody else is that I'm not. That's.

[Eddie]

Why do we care?

[Bobby Bones]

And why would you care and be like, oh, like, why would you care? That's my point.

[Eddie]

I was not gonna ruin my day. But I'm just saying, like, why did

[Bobby Bones]

you like the college football expansion? Because everybody complained about that. 4 to 8 to 12.

[Eddie]

I actually didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. Go to 16. I don't.

[Eddie]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I think keeping more fan bases in games later is great for the sport.

[Eddie]

I just hate the old, you know, the regular season doesn't matter as much in football. We're talking football.

[Bobby Bones]

But what about the NFL? That argument doesn't work because it's the same thing the NFL does. The regular season matters just as much. It's just Different.

[Eddie]

I just view college and the NFL totally different. And I liked. I think that's what I liked about college so much. I felt like every single game mattered.

[Bobby Bones]

What I hated about college the most is if you lost an early game, you're out of it. I hated that about college.

[Eddie]

I love that.

[Kevin]

And what's tricky about it is there are so many more teams in college than there are in the NFL.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. 100 freaking 68 teams. I made that number up.

[Kevin]

So you get sounded right, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it's kind of the same 12 teams that are there at the end kind of in football.

[Bobby Bones]

Indiana wasn't. They're only new to the last.

[Eddie]

That was a whole. Yeah, I mean, that's an outlier like none other.

[Bobby Bones]

That's money. That's the ability to have money, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Now, nowadays. Yeah, now we can see a little bit different. Now everybody's going to have those expectations. So I guess with the NIL and the transfer portal, the expansion's a little bit better. But I just love the whole, like, in October, Tennessee beats Alabama. Dang. I don't know if Alabama's gonna make it. Make it.

[Bobby Bones]

See, I hate that.

[Eddie]

I love that.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate that early on, if you make a mistake, you're penalized for the whole year. You' what if in life it was like that?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, screw that. That would suck. But you're just a kid. You're learning as you go. You know,

[Bobby Bones]

if it were 124, 132 teams, if it were, everybody gets in, that'd feel kind of lame. I don't mind some other games on it on a Tuesday. I'm not even really watching anyway.

[Kevin]

It just feels. It's always hard to explain it to my family when it's like, oh, yeah, so what are we watching? Like, all right, this is the first four. And they're just like, okay, so they're in. This is the turn of the start of March. MAD is like, no, no, really. They got to. Whoever wins this game is going to play this seed. And it's like, now it's going to be really convoluted before it even starts, but really convoluted.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a few more games. You don't have to, like, teach them new rules.

[Kevin]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just.

[Kevin]

I don't know. It's just like you. I love the first day of the tournament.

[Eddie]

Like, I love that Thursday. Not the first four. Thursday, yeah, that Thursday.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But it's not affecting anything because those games were played. The first four were played. Those teams win sometimes. I think UCLA won a long ways. They were one of the first four a few years ago and they went to maybe the Elite Eight or Final Four.

[Kevin]

So how many seeds are going to be in the tournament?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't think about that. I don't even really care. But I do think it's annoying. People go, oh, that sucks. Expansion. Because that's generally what people will do when it doesn't affect us at all and gives the nit blows, guys.

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't want to say who watch that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's just move some of those good teams over here.

[Eddie]

Okay, I can get on board with that.

[Bobby Bones]

And fan base doesn't get to be in it long.

[Kevin]

Did somebody win the nit?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude.

[Kevin]

Is that over?

[Eddie]

I think Auburn was in.

[Bobby Bones]

Auburn was in the final game. Yeah, I saw like a tweet. Yeah, I don't know.

[Kevin]

I forget that's even going on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, I have no idea. Anyway, I get it if people are annoyed because you've been taught to be annoyed and you guys follow along.

[Kevin]

It's pretty funny though, you know, like my in laws are in town and it's funny to watch basketball with them and their little comments about like, oh man, this is a grown man playing. Like, these aren't even kids playing anymore. You know, it's because in their day, like, yeah, it was true. Kids going to college, going to class to get an education and then they're good at sports now it's a whole different deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that's always been the case because whenever they first gave the first athletic scholarship, people were like, this is never going to be the same. Yes, kids are getting free school to play sports. You should have just played sports for the love of the game. Not to.

[Eddie]

Because you get.

[Bobby Bones]

This has never been different. Like, some of the circumstances have changed her, but it's always been people are upset about something and the growth of college sports because people got upset when people got scholarships. We can't believe they get to go to school for free just because they're good at throwing a ball.

[Kevin]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's stupid. Now it's. They're gonna transfer. That's stupid.

[Kevin]

They make millions. That's stupid. They're kids.

[Bobby Bones]

But these programs are making like hundreds of millions of dollars and the student athletes that are doing the work are getting. Were getting nothing. Now there are big flaws, but yeah, anybody that says they shouldn't get paid, that is such like old school, you should. Don't. I can't believe kids get scholarships type thinking.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, there was that. I can't remember 30 for 30 where it was like some former player back in the day couldn't even go to a store and buy his own jersey, but they were making millions off it. And it's like, that's all you really need to say.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway, they're gonna expand that. I really don't care. I just felt like it's.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I don't care either.

[Eddie]

I don't even care.

[Kevin]

I don't care, man. Who cares?

[Eddie]

Do whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

want to go to the World Cup?

[Eddie]

Yeah, go. That would be what?

[Kevin]

I mean, I feel like that's expensive.

[Eddie]

It is expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, a lot of people would be any game you go to, though. If you go to an NFL game,

[Eddie]

there's a lot of people now. Eddie's an old man.

[Kevin]

I'd rather watch at the house.

[Bobby Bones]

Those tickets are really expensive to try to go to a game. Oh, I bet, like, if you buy them in secondary markets or sometimes $20,000 a ticket, FIFA raises top ticket for the World cup final. And this is if you're able to get it from them to $11,000 a ticket.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Have you ever watched a soccer game? Newser Live, Like a real professional soccer game?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I watched one here. Stupid.

[Kevin]

What? Like, any. Like, Nashville soccer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But they played it where the Titans play, so the stadium was way too big.

[Ad Read Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And there were, like, the two main sections on each side. I think it was like Nashville Soccer Club versus, like, Columbus Soccer Club. The stadium was too big to really, like, enjoy the vibe. I didn't. I didn't much care for it. I don't know much about soccer, though, and I think I needed vibe because I didn't understand what was happening. For the most part, I. But no, that's it. Why?

[Kevin]

No, because, I mean, I went to my first one a few years ago, and I went here to watch Nashville Soccer Club, and it was really exciting. Like, just the speed of the game was very shocking. And that was my first time that I've ever seen.

[Bobby Bones]

Where'd you go?

[Kevin]

The stadium.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that seems fun. Wait, the one I went to.

[Kevin]

Not. Not Nissan. Their own.

[Bobby Bones]

That looks cool because I think it's packed. Yes.

[Kevin]

And our seats were pretty good. We're probably, like, five rows.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Kevin]

Close. And, man, the speed was fast. The action was fast. You get to see, like, how precise their kicks are. And, like, it's pretty cool. And I'd never been to a soccer game like that, so I had no idea. And I left thinking, like, this would be cool to just keep coming to.

[Eddie]

Did your boys go or.

[Kevin]

No? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Kevin]

Yeah, they love it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they had fun, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Something I can't do is kick a ball. Any ball. Football Soccer ball.

[Kevin]

I've seen it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's hard kicking. No, it's like you would think I was not athletic at all because I'm only mid athletic anyway. But I mean, none when it comes to kicking.

[Eddie]

I remember too much access even.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ought to see me kick a soccer ball. It's even worse.

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't think we did it. No, we didn't do any soccer.

[Kevin]

We didn't do soccer.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no concept. I never kicked. When would I have kicked ever in my life? I think I could probably after a few lessons, like, probably get to be okay. I have decent control my body, but I am terrible at kicking. Freaking Eddie's.

[Kevin]

It's in my blood. You know, it was when I was a kid. Like, that's the first sport ever played soccer.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Kevin]

As a kid.

[Eddie]

How long?

[Kevin]

Until I was like, fifth grade or something. Yeah, that was it. As a defender. But I mean, yeah, in my culture, like, soccer is the sport. Everyone plays soccer.

[Bobby Bones]

You brought in some Lamar Odom story from the documentary. Yeah. All right, give me something about Lamar Odom. That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because you said you don't want to watch it, but you want to hear the good stories from him. So one of them that I wrote down was his dad came to the hospital when he overdosed and he was in a coma for like three or four days.

[Bobby Bones]

He's in a coma for three or four days?

[Eddie]

Yes. Like he was dead.

[Kevin]

That was after the Bunny Ranch, right?

[Eddie]

That was after the Bunny Ranch.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Pulled him out of the Bunny Ranch, went to the hospital, was in there for three or four days, and his dad was in there. This is when him and Chloe were going through a divorce, but not officially yet. She walked in and his dad's like, oh, pull him off. You know, like, get him off life support. Like, he's done. He's brain dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Dad said, pull that. Pull the plug.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And Chloe walked in and she was like. She's like. She says this in the documentary. She's like, it was something out of a movie. She's like, no way. She's like, I'm here. We're legally married. I'm calling the shots here. And she goes, what do you want? And he said, like 100 bucks, a pair of Nikes and a hotel for the night. Gave him that. Never saw him again. Wow.

[Kevin]

Okay. So he wanted to pull the plug because he would get some of the money.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he thought he was a beneficiary.

[Kevin]

Oh, man, that is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Was he Pull the pluggable. Because I Know he was out for. You said for a few days he was in a coma. Were they, like, debating that, or did you walk in and go, regardless of how you doctors feel, pull the plug?

[Eddie]

No, they said. So he had another part. He had 12 strokes and six heart

[Kevin]

attacks during all this.

[Eddie]

During all this. So they told his kids, like, he's gonna be brain dead. You're not gonna be able to talk to him ever again, that kind of thing. And now, I mean, he's fine. He's in the documentary, too.

[Bobby Bones]

He talks. 12 strokes.

[Kevin]

Well, how's he fine?

[Eddie]

And six heart attacks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. How is he fine? Great question.

[Kevin]

That doesn't make any sense.

[Eddie]

His recovery. I don't. He recovered. They have all these, like, clips of him in recovery with Chloe, and she's teaching him all the stuff, like how to recover, how to walk again, how to talk again, showing him pictures of his kids. You know, this is. No, I have no idea. The whole thing. He, like, starts from scratch and has no idea what anything is, what anyone is, who Chloe is, who anything is. And it's just a long road to recovery. 12 strokes. Crazy.

[Kevin]

You know what's crazy is that, like, we all know. I don't know. You seem like you don't really remember the story. I remember all those, like, the bunny ranch and him finding them unresponsive and all that. But we don't get, like. I don't remember any of the recovery.

[Eddie]

Me neither. And I also didn't realize he was going through all this while still, like, playing. I don't know. He went downhill so fast in his career, and I thought it was his career going downhill that led to drugs, but it was drugs that led to the career. And then it just got worse and worse. And it talks about how much cocaine he did and all this stuff in the documentary. And, I mean, it was bad. Really bad, obviously, to have 12 strokes, six heart attacks o. D. Also, it

[Bobby Bones]

sounds like his environment growing up wasn't the best.

[Eddie]

That's a huge thing to get into.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, they talk about his dad showing up, being like, give me 100 bucks and some shoes. Yeah. And he wanted to pull the plug. That ain't somewhere with the best situation. Yeah.

[Eddie]

He didn't have any structure. Mom died when he was young. So, like, he's like, yeah, I had horrible grades growing up, but I never got, like, repercussions.

[Bobby Bones]

And it was the bunny ranch.

[Eddie]

It was the bunny ranch.

[Bobby Bones]

And they were like that. That bed was like a museum.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They've turned it into that now at the Very beginning of the documentary, they opened it up where the guy who was, like, running at the time, the manager, he's like, I haven't seen this thing that's crazy in 10 years.

[Bobby Bones]

Was there a video?

[Eddie]

There's like, there's some video camera footage of him walking around in that room, but not actually ODing or anything. And this guy was the guy who owned the Bunny Ranch. I don't know. It was his. Dennis Hoffer was his name. Do you remember him at all, you guys? He was in the news. They have clips of him all over in the news. And he was, like, basically, like, pimping out camera footage of him in that room to TMZ and all these news outlets, like, who wants it? I'll give you exclusive rights for the right price. Going on all these outlets, talking about it. Oh, yeah. And I have this book, by the way, promoting his book. Dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're already in a shady business. I guess I'm not surprised that you're shady.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, he used it to his advantage as much as he could to get money out of it, to get promotion out of it, to talk about his brand, his business and everything.

[Bobby Bones]

And Chloe's in it.

[Eddie]

Oh, Chloe's. Yeah, she's in the whole thing. She's awesome. Like, I have a new respect for her as a wife. Like, dude, she is what you want in a wife as far as being by your side. She was with him the whole way, and they were going through divorce, but then through the whole recovery, she stayed with them. And then he went off and still did his own thing after he recovered and went to drugs again.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, after the recovery, Recovery.

[Eddie]

And then she left him bottom, like a place to stay, you know, paid for all the stuff while he recovered. This is after he got released from the hospital months later or maybe a year later, she's like, I bought him, like, an apartment. I bought him this, I bought him that. Went to go check on him every day. She was with him at the hospital every day for months. And then she comes back the first time, and he's. And she's like, I walk in and I smell crack cocaine. The first time she let him be by himself.

[Bobby Bones]

Of that where she's like, there's a smell that I know you can't. Once you smell it, you always remember it. She goes, I smell it.

[Kevin]

Crack.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I see that.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it was like it was run it now. I think it was running on Netflix, you know?

[Eddie]

Oh, that's probably part of the trailer.

[Bobby Bones]

Netflix is. I don't want to hear the trailer. Sometimes all you do is go over the top, watch. Screaming out a trailer immediately. Yeah, I don't need that. Yeah, I want to do a silent option.

[Kevin]

Yeah, Yeah. I want to click down with a little movie reel. We'll click that for the trailer.

[Bobby Bones]

You liked it, though, huh?

[Eddie]

It was really good. Yeah. It offered a lot of insight that I never knew.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you do this past weekend for Easter?

[Eddie]

Oh, I had family in town. Well, in laws in town. My wife's brother, girlfriend, and the parents came into town, hung out, and I smoked a brisket.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw some meat on your Instagram story.

[Eddie]

Yeah, 12 hours. My first one. Got up 5am, put that thing on the smoker. I prepped it the night before. Big old 9 1/2 pound piece of brisket. I'd never done it before and watched it all day, you know, like I said. Threw it on at 5, checked it again for the first time. I think it's six hours in. You take it out, you wrap it back up on foil, put it back on there, and then you monitor it basically all day.

[Bobby Bones]

You should give Eddie some tips.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

We were texting that day.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Because I thought about doing a brisket, too. And so when I saw him, he sent me a picture. He's like, look what I just put on. I was like, man, where'd you get that? Because I had gone to the store the day before to get a brisket, and the smallest piece I found was like 17 pounds for almost $130. I'm like, I don't need that much meat. That's way too much meat.

[Bobby Bones]

How many pounds? 17.

[Kevin]

17. It was a huge slab of brisket, and it was like $130. Like, that's too much. So I asked Kevin, like, where did you get that? Because I think I'm going to do it. But then I saw the forecast. It was going to be raining, so I decided to do fajitas instead. But his brisket looked good.

[Eddie]

I have it. I have extra here.

[Bobby Bones]

If you guys did a brisket off,

[Kevin]

oh, I would win. And I'm not bragging. Listen, I'm not bragging, but what I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. I didn't expect it to be that hard.

[Eddie]

I know, I know.

[Kevin]

Wait, how many briskets have you made?

[Eddie]

One.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Connor Griffin's only 19. How many plate appearances do you have in the majors? And you're saying he's not as good a player or something?

[Kevin]

See, this is what he does. Don't fall for this, Kevin.

[Eddie]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the one that reacted that way.

[Eddie]

But. But let me ask Eddie this question. What kind of smoker do you use?

[Kevin]

Pellet smoker. My smoker?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yours is like digital and you get to set it and forget it, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin]

You don't forget it.

[Eddie]

I use a charcoal where you got to monitor it, make sure the temperature's. That's on you.

[Kevin]

Dude.

[Eddie]

I'm just saying that take. That's a whole nother craft.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, is it like, tend to the baby a little more. The baby's better?

[Eddie]

Yeah. It tastes. In my opinion, it tastes better.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I would do a blind.

[Kevin]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Without knowing who made what.

[Eddie]

Let's do it.

[Kevin]

Hold on. Will you pay for the meat? Yeah. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

How much? I'm not buying. £17.

[Julian Edelman]

Do we have to buy the cow this time?

[Bobby Bones]

This is Eddie getting us back into the cow.

[Kevin]

Be ready till next year.

[Eddie]

Hey, we do have the cow, though.

[Bobby Bones]

How much money do I need to give?

[Eddie]

Mine was 85 bucks for nine and a half pounds, so I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

What if I don't want that much meat?

[Eddie]

Well, you kind of. I mean, you can't do like £2, can you?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, Eddie could.

[Kevin]

They're really big.

[Eddie]

I don't know. But 12. I mean, 12 hours smoke like you want a big old thick piece of meat.

[Kevin]

Like. Do you really think that he stands a chance?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Stands a chance. Yes. Do I think he'll win? No, but stands a chance. And maybe he could be a phenom. One in.

[Eddie]

That's what I'm saying. How many have you done?

[Kevin]

It's like 20.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought it was like 500. If it's only 20, he may have an approach you don't even know about. He's a kid these days coming up with all kinds of new stuff.

[Eddie]

Exactly, dude.

[Kevin]

All right, let's do it.

[Bobby Bones]

So how much would I need to pay?

[Kevin]

I mean, I think the cheapest I've seen is probably $70.

[Bobby Bones]

If I gave you both $70.

[Eddie]

Let's do it.

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Kevin]

But

[Bobby Bones]

what we'd have to do is time it out right then.

[Kevin]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't want you cooking it. Putting in the fridge overnight, bringing it in.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You got to have it fresh.

[Kevin]

Well, that's kind of. That's tough.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that is tough.

[Kevin]

That's tough. But what we can do is we can have it like next Monday is. What were you thinking? Were we smoking on Sunday? I think a one day rest is good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

The only thing is I'm thinking What

[Bobby Bones]

about Thursday to Friday?

[Kevin]

Thursdays are tough for me. Usually have, like a game on Thursday night or something.

[Eddie]

Well, Kevin, don't you just.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't you just put it in?

[Kevin]

Forget. No, no. See, that's what he says.

[Eddie]

And forget it. He takes the easy one. The pellet's the easy one.

[Kevin]

No, man, you got to monitor that, baby. You got to.

[Eddie]

You can literally download an app and control it on your app.

[Kevin]

No, no, it's not that. You have to check it and you got to spray it. You got to put stuff on it as it cooks. Hey, he doesn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here's what I'm going to do. Eddie, 75 bucks coming to you now.

[Kevin]

We're going to have so much meat.

[Bobby Bones]

That's okay. Kevin.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do I have you?

[Ad Read Host]

I'm making the thumbnail right now, Kevin.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. 75 bucks.

[Kevin]

You bought yours for how much? 80.

[Eddie]

85.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Kevin]

Boom.

[Ad Read Host]

Do they have to buy from the same place?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they have the money to get whatever they want.

[Eddie]

That does, right? Because that's.

[Kevin]

Because that's important. The meat choose.

[Bobby Bones]

I've given you both $75 next Monday.

[Eddie]

Okay?

[Bobby Bones]

Even if you have to do it on Saturday. That's it. Or Friday. That's your own thing. Okay? It has to sit.

[Kevin]

But for Monday, it's gotta be right for Monday.

[Eddie]

I'm ready.

[Bobby Bones]

And I don't want to know who's what.

[Kevin]

Oh, dude, I might, man. I can put that overnight Sunday night. This could be good. This could be. This is a lot of fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Did your family think it was?

[Eddie]

Oh, loved it. My father in law. I mean, talk about brownie points. He was like, kevin, this is really.

[Bobby Bones]

I want you to marry her again. I wasn't. I. I wasn't convinced you were the right person, but now.

[Ad Read Host]

[Eddie]

[Ad Read Host]

[Eddie]

[Eddie]

Thank you, D. Oh, dude. Yeah. In the video, you can see he looks up at me. He's like, that's really good.

[Julian Edelman]

He's like, I love you now, dad.

[Eddie]

And Bobby's gonna do the same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't set and forget, though.

[Eddie]

I don't set and forget.

[Kevin]

Forget it.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, is this like America versus Mexico? Like the brisket Olympics?

[Eddie]

I like so I like it. This is a World Cup.

[Kevin]

Although, are you American or Irish? Like, who do you claim?

[Eddie]

Oh, America.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

America first.

[Kevin]

[Kevin]

Who knows, man? Scheffler? I don't know. He hasn't been playing well lately though. Scheffler is not so does that matter though?

[Bobby Bones]

Going to the Masters?

[Kevin]

I think so. Momentum? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Sheffield's the favorite, plus 410.

[Kevin]

Rory probably the second favorite.

[Bobby Bones]

Third.

[Kevin]

Okay, so second. Who? Maybe a live guy.

[Bobby Bones]

See if you can do. I have the top 10. Let's see how many you get. Go ahead. You got Scotty and Rory.

[Kevin]

Scotty, Rory.

[Bobby Bones]

Roy's a three.

[Kevin]

I'll go more. Kawa. He's got to be on there.

[Bobby Bones]

Murakawa is at 10.

[Kevin]

We'll probably go John Rom at 2 plus 850.

[Bobby Bones]

John Rom. I find it so hard to bet on golf. I never win, especially early. I've won if I'm betting day three going into four.

[Kevin]

That's how you do it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like a top 10 finish. Maybe.

[Kevin]

Although.

[Bobby Bones]

Although.

[Kevin]

Yesterday JJ spawn came from, like, 15th and won it, so that's a payday, dude, if you can catch someone like that coming from the 15th spot to come back and win it.

[Eddie]

Oh, I've never even heard of that guy.

[Kevin]

J.J. swan. He won the US Open, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, I'm telling you, I don't follow golf. Close enough to know the randoms that win.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Eddie's like NASCAR drivers and golfers.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a bit on it, the majors I'm in, and I probably watched some of him, but I don't remember him.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Okay. Still going.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You? Well, you only got four.

[Kevin]

Matsuyama.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Strike one.

[Kevin]

Okay. Oh. Oh. Dechambeau.

[Bobby Bones]

Number four, Bryson dechambeau.

[Kevin]

See, I said Morika already. How about Brooks Koepka?

[Bobby Bones]

No. One more strike.

[Kevin]

Okay. Because there's some, like, no namers. Like, didn't have name, but now they have, like, they've won a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

I've heard of all these people.

[Kevin]

Oh, you have?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There's only one that I probably would say that I'm lying about, that I hadn't heard of them, but I think I have heard of them, but I don't know. There's only one that's in that world, though.

[Kevin]

Okay. Tommy Fleetwood.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Number eight.

[Kevin]

Tough. I say Rory already.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Third.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And you also said Scheffler.

[Kevin]

Okay. Let's go with speed.

[Bobby Bones]

You got six?

[Kevin]

Nah, because, I mean, he hasn't been playing well either.

[Bobby Bones]

Got six.

[Kevin]

Oh, Justin Thomas. He's in there. No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Xander Shoffley.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the one. I didn't know, but I think I might know. Is Ludwig a. Berg.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Oberg.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know him.

[Kevin]

He's Swedish. But he. But he played at Tech.

[Eddie]

Texas Tech.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know. Cameron Young.

[Kevin]

He's a live guy. No, no, he's not. Not Cameron Young. Sorry. I think Cameron Smith.

[Bobby Bones]

Tommy Fleetwood. Matt Fitzpatrick. Yeah, he played for the Bills. Right.

[Eddie]

Big, big beard.

[Bobby Bones]

Ryan and Morikawa.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You never been in the Masters, huh?

[Kevin]

No. You've been?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

How was that?

[Bobby Bones]

Cool. Well, it's a different experience. We were, like, at a house on the course.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ad Read Host]

I love your master.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's just a different experience, so it's cool to go. But it's. It's. You don't really see a lot unless you get in one place, because you can rush out with that chair and you put it there, even if you're not sitting in it, it stays there, but you go. And if you're sitting in one place, you can see stuff, but if you're, like, following somebody, it's hard to see

[Kevin]

the golf ball because there's so many

[Bobby Bones]

people, and it's hard to see the golf ball just.

[Kevin]

Just in general.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Just imagine you're standing, you know, with 90 other people trying to get a good spot from a fairway. It's hard for me to see my own ball.

[Kevin]

That's what I'm saying. To be fair, you never see your ball, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So it's hard to see the ball. Where I found it was the most fun, was, like, sitting on a green and then watching them one by one on a par three. Yeah, that was the most fun. But you can do the. The lottery.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I just. I mean, I don't know. I think the whole process of getting to Georgia and, like, doing all that's gonna be a lot, because I'd want to be there Sunday. Right. Then you gotta leave. Got work in the. Monday in the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a once in a lifetime type thing.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin]

But I do enjoy watching on tv, Like, I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. But it's like a Super Bowl. Like, you want to go once so you can go.

[Kevin]

How beautiful is it? Is it so pretty? Is the grass so green?

[Bobby Bones]

It looks fake.

[Kevin]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it looks fake.

[Kevin]

Are you able to walk on the grass?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Like across a fairway or something?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, you kind of have free unless the ribbons are up. So I don't know if you can walk on all them all the time, but there are certain places where you can walk through for sure. But I don't remember. It's been a while.

[Kevin]

And people say the food's cheap.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's very cheap.

[Kevin]

Like, the beer is, like, cheap.

[Bobby Bones]

Very cheap. No phones, though. Can't have any phones out.

[Kevin]

What do they do with your phone?

[Bobby Bones]

You put them in your pocket.

[Kevin]

Okay. So you can keep it. You just don't pull it out then.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you pull your phone out, you. You get kicked out.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's dying.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't see a phone because that's not worth getting kicked out. But everybody's wearing golf clothes like they're playing, which is weird, Right?

[Eddie]

I've thought about that before. It's like, the one sport where people dress like people playing.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever see the eyes of, like, coaches, if they had to dress like baseball does?

[Kevin]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

So baseball managers wear the.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The uniform.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or it's like basketball coaches, they have to wear the basketball.

[Eddie]

That would be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Or football players, they have to wear the jerseys the coaches have weather jersey helmets and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin]

I love that.

[Eddie]

What coach? Like a Mike McDaniel. He's not a head coach anymore, but somebody like that in a full football uniform on the sideline.

[Kevin]

I feel like Andy Reid was one that they did.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was one that I saw.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It was really funny. Like, the older and fatter they are, the funnier it is. Yeah. So. All right, that's it. Anything else to add, Eddie?

[Kevin]

Yeah, just the. The LeBron thing. Like the whole video that comes out of him in the golf course.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he didn't start it, so Draymond. Draymond Green started it. He's like, they didn't move that team from Memphis to Nashville. And so then LeBron's talking about it, and he's like, we hate that hotel.

[Kevin]

He's like, I'm 41 years old, man. I'm not going to move to Memphis.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then now all these clips are coming out, everyone just bashing Memphis.

[Bobby Bones]

Memphis kind of sucks.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, we all know that, too.

[Kevin]

I like Memphis. I really do.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. But you just have been there, like, in a good place at the right time.

[Kevin]

I've never lived there, to be fair,

[Bobby Bones]

but, like, have you ever randomly stopped by a restaurant, just hung out? I have got robbed twice, got my

[Kevin]

car broken, but it was the same Olive Garden, wasn't it?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it'd be better.

[Eddie]

Get them in.

[Kevin]

You didn't learn the first.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, when we went for St. Jude and stayed over two days. Like, that's nice. Because you're in a nice hotel, everything is kind of.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Safe.

[Eddie]

And you don't leave the hotel.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yep.

[Kevin]

Anyway, I thought that was funny.

[Bobby Bones]

It was funny. I feel bad for Memphis. Like, I don't dislike people from Memphis. I don't much like going to Memphis, so. Anything from you, Kevin?

[Kevin]

No.

[Eddie]

I'm ready for this. Cook off, man.

[Kevin]

Oh, so what is it?

[Eddie]

Fired up, dude. Next Monday.

[Kevin]

You got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, next Monday.

[Eddie]

Wait, is there, like a winner, loser prize or anything or. No.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the winners.

[Eddie]

You're the one bragging, right?

[Bobby Bones]

The champion. Okay.

[Kevin]

He's playing.

[Bobby Bones]

I've already had to pay $150.

[Kevin]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just saying. He wants me to go buy a trophy for you guys.

[Kevin]

Hey, but be honest, though. Be honest.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not going to know who it is.

[Ad Read Host]

No?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Here's how you know it's honesty. I'm not going to know who says who.

[Kevin]

Okay. Are you going to be the only judge or Mike and Brandon?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm paying for it. So I'm going to be the only judge.

[Eddie]

Mike definitely can't be a judge.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Mike. He didn't eat meat.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's true. That's true. You want barbecue sauce, too? No, you should probably get some barbecue sauce.

[Eddie]

You can't.

[Kevin]

He can do whatever he wants. Kevin, don't tell him what he can,

[Eddie]

because that's what you taste instead of your meat. You taste the barbecue. You can have it after. I'm just saying. At least one. The first bite. No barbecue.

[Ad Read Host]

Here's the question, Bobby. What do you want exactly?

[Bobby Bones]

I can agree with that, Kevin, because I might eat some with barbecue sauce after. But I think if we're just going off meat, I think I should just have the meat in my mouth raw.

[Kevin]

Oh, my.

[Ad Read Host]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what we should call it, the raw meat.

[Eddie]

The raw meat. No meat.

[Bobby Bones]

Meat in my mouth. Meat in my mouth challenge.

[Eddie]

Meat in Bobby's mouth.

[Kevin]

This is gonna be good. It's gonna be real good. You can do the barbecue sauce on the side.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I can do it afterward. I'm not eating.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Take all my meat home with me.

[Kevin]

Well, you're gonna take it all.

[Bobby Bones]

What, and I pay for it all?

[Kevin]

Yeah, you do whatever you want with it.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, I'll let you guys take most of it back home, but I'll be honest, because I'm not gonna know who's to choose.

[Kevin]

Okay, I like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good.

[Kevin]

Yeah, man. You want bread? You want loaf of bread, too with it?

[Eddie]

Hey, you want a salad, sausage, Mac and cheese,

[Bobby Bones]

cornbread, cracker barrel sides? I think. Yeah. Now we're talking. I think we just should do meat.

[Kevin]

Just meat in your mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the meat in my mouth challenge.

[Kevin]

All right, you got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we'll just do that. But for lunch, maybe some fried okra, you know, some corn. All right, that's it. Blow the whistle. I'll see you guys later on the week. Bye, buddy.
