This is Julian Edelman from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jewels. All right, real quick, take a look at yourself right now.
Eddie
Why?
Bobby Bones
What's wrong?
Julian Edelman
Nothing's wrong. You look like a guy running on three hours of sleep and vibes.
Bobby Bones
Okay, yeah, I'm tired, kind of cranky and very thirsty.
Julian Edelman
Congrats. Those are some of the potential signs of mild dehydration. And I bet your last bathroom break showed you another sign your body might be throwing you a penalty flag.
Bobby Bones
So what's the play?
Julian Edelman
Call Liquid IV Hydration multiplier. One stick in water helps hydrate faster than water alone. Okay, but where's the proof? Liquid IV's clinical studies, not just a guy I know. Real science results you can trust.

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

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.

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.
