1. Football’s Return: Week 1 Frustrations and Storylines

• Bobby is exasperated about his fantasy football draft clashing with Arkansas's week 1 game on Saturday at 3pm, prioritizing watching his team over attending the draft barbecue.

  “I'm not going because Arkansas plays at 3 and I wouldn't go anyway because it's the first Saturday of college football. So I'm a little annoyed at that.” (08:23)

• Discussion of big week 1 matchups:

  • Texas at Ohio State—the number one team entering as an underdog for the first time ever.
  • Other key games: LSU vs. Clemson, Alabama vs. Florida State.
  • Commentary on TV show Any Given Saturday and new personality for Alabama post-Saban.

• Talk about Travis Kelce’s potential retirement and distractions with Taylor Swift:

  “I think if they win the Superbowl, he retires… I think he doesn’t want the blame to be on Taylor Swift.” (16:00)

• Observations about college football fan culture, including the University of Oklahoma selling press conference access for steep prices—a sign of the times in NIL era.

2. Fantasy League & Betting: Peculiar Drafts and Big Wagers

• Bobby shares details on participating in two fantasy leagues, one with former NFL players (“that league... matters”), and another unique gambling league where players draft entire NFL teams to win or lose:

  • Each win/loss earns or loses $100 through the season.
  • “There’s no max you can lose… there have been people that have lost 9 to $10,000.” (12:22)
  • Bobby hacked the draft last year by picking the same team to win and lose late rounds, neutralizing risk for those slots—a “legal loophole.”

• Discussion of DraftKings’ “Pick Six” approach and how betting can now be so player-stat focused.

3. Interview: Mark Stoops, Kentucky Head Football Coach

Background & Opening

• Stoops enters his 13th season as Kentucky’s head coach, now the SEC’s longest-tenured.
• Kentucky is facing Toledo in Week 1, with a quick turnaround for an early conference game versus Ole Miss in Week 2.

Camp, Fights, and Discipline

• Practice scuffles are natural; a big fight at end of camp led Stoops to restart practice in old-school fashion:

  “It kind of pissed me off. Blew the whistle and teed it up and started practice completely over again… We went as long as I could with a new practice.” (26:02 - 26:56)

Conditioning and Rule Changes

• Stoops details favorite conditioning drills (cross-fields, 80-yard strides) and notes that old “bull in the ring” and “Oklahoma” drills are outlawed:

  “They’ve outlawed that drill… we can’t even do that drill anymore in college football.” (27:29)

• On quarterbacks taking hits in practice:

  “No.” (29:01) – Protective no-contact jerseys for QBs, with only limited “thuds.”

Player and Team Insights

• Praises new QB Calzada (transfer from Texas A&M) and former Alabama WR Kendrick Law as strong contributors and playmakers for the upcoming season.

• Stoops on immediate game analysis preferences:

  “I’m a defensive guy… but generally I start with the offensive film now and then go to defense and special teams.” (30:35)

Ed Reed and Coaching Legacy

• Coaching Ed Reed at Miami was career-defining:

  “Ed was just kind of like... he set the tone with the whole team… He was the type of player that, sometimes he and I would walk on the way out to practice and I’d be like, Ed, I’m going to coach you extremely hard just to set the tone… And you know what he would say? ‘Bring it on, Coach.’” (31:10 - 32:05)

• Stoops regularly consults brothers Bob and Mike, both coaching veterans, but notes:

  “He [Bob] also lets me do my thing.” (32:57)

Conference Expansion, Playoffs, and Schedule Focus

• On adding a 9th SEC game:

  “I’ve been on record... saying ‘hey, bring it on.’... I know the physicality that comes with that… It’s a challenge. It’s going to be difficult, but it is what it is.” (33:53)

• On broader playoffs/CFP system:

  “...the SEC is going to get their teams in there… If strength of schedule matters, then… people with common sense will understand how difficult it is.” (34:48)

Team Outlook & Mindset

• Wants to reestablish Kentucky’s tough, physical brand after a down year:

  “I just want to represent this great state and this university and do things the right way… play very tough, hard-nosed football and be disciplined…” (36:51 - 38:19)

• Despite tricky conference scheduling (Toledo before Ole Miss), Stoops emphasizes one-game-at-a-time respect:

  “We always have to respect each and every opponent and Toledo is a very good football team… some people are picking them to be the group of five representative in the playoffs.” (38:31)

• Fun banter about golfing with country star John Michael Montgomery.

• Most anticipated improvement:

  “I hope it’s the offensive line… we put in a lot of work.” (43:01)

4. Eddie’s Influencer Dilemma: Pedo Voice and Social Media Critiques

• Bobby teases co-host Eddie about his new food influencer videos—particularly Eddie’s voiceover style, which Bobby describes (in good fun) as “pedo voice.”

  “He talks like a pedo... your voice is like, dang.” (48:15)

• Group listens to Eddie’s breakfast bagel video. Bobby and Mike say his voice is inauthentic; Eddie defends his attempt at instructional style.

• Eddie is caught deleting Bobby's playful comments from his Instagram, trying to keep engagements “on brand.”

  “Why would you do that? That’s great for engagement.” (47:35)

• Mike: “The food looked really good on the video.” (51:51)

• Bobby likens Eddie's voiceovers to Will Smith’s recent AI-concert video—both “inauthentic and a little creepy.” (56:52)

5. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On discipline:

  “We had a big fight right at the end of practice, and it kind of pissed me off. Blew the whistle and teed it up and started practice completely over again.” – Mark Stoops (26:02)

• On fantasy football conflicts:

  “Why would you have a fantasy draft on the first college football day of the week?” – Bobby Bones (08:23)

• On authenticity and social media:

  “It feels like you’re doing a cartoon voice. It feels like you have a creepy voice a little bit.” – Bobby Bones to Eddie, on his influencer content (50:03)

• On changing the SEC schedule:

  “It’s a challenge. It’s going to be very difficult, but it is what it is. I’m used to it.” – Mark Stoops (34:01)

But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

25 Whistles. All right. Welcome, welcome, welcome. We have Kentucky head football coach Mark Stoops coming up. Do you have a whistle?

[Kevin]

I don't have a whistle with me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we have a whistle over there. Mike, hit that whistle. Thank you. First things first, Saturday's a big day, and it's not even the beginning of college football because games start tonight. I guess week zero happened, but that doesn't really count.

[Kevin]

Yeah, that's a dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

Boise State play South Florida tonight. Nebraska and Cincinnati play tonight, which is interesting. The Cincinnati head coach came and was my guest at the Opry, and I was hanging out with him a little bit, and I was like, how we doing? And he's like, first games against Nebraska. And I believe you may look this up going from memory. Are they playing in, like, a football stadium or something tonight somewhere that's not the main Cincinnati stadium? Oh, like, are they playing in Kansas City?

[Kevin]

I thought you were being sarcastic.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I feel like.

[Kevin]

And maybe I'm just taking a. Oh, that sounds right.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like.

[Mike]

Yeah. Kansas City, the Chiefs stadium.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, think about this. Travis Kelsey just got engaged. Travis Kelsey played at Cincinnati. Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey plays for the Chiefs now. Could it be Travis Kelsey knows Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift is a winner. Cincinnati wins. I'm betting Cincinnati. That's the Easter egg tonight because the Cincinnati plus six and a half.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Nebraska is interesting because, well, Rayola be good. He was a freshman last year and he was good. He's good. Matt Rule started a podcast, too. Kevin, you see that?

[Mike]

Yeah, I did.

[Bobby Bones]

He's gonna, I guess, donate some rules. Yeah, like rules of the game or something like that. And he's gonna donate the money to nil, which is good.

[Kevin]

Why is Boise State ranked 25th?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought I made the playoff last year.

[Kevin]

Yeah, But Ashton Genti's like not there, right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's correct. He's with the Raiders.

[Kevin]

Isn't that kind of what. What made Boise State so good last year?

[Bobby Bones]

I think that was part of it, but I think Boise State's always good and I think they deserve a top 25 ranking.

[Kevin]

Until they don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll get to my point here about why I'm so annoyed. Friday's games, Auburn at Baylor. Auburn is the favorite. Auburn supposedly not that good. Does that mean Baylor's really bad? Georgia Tech and Colorado play Friday and then Saturday, the big ones, Texas at Ohio State. It's the first time ever a number one team has been the underdog game one of the season because they are a one and a half point underdog. The number one team in the country, Texas, LSU and Clemson play. That's going to be fun. I don't like Clemson mostly.

[Kevin]

Wait, still, I know you had a.

[Bobby Bones]

Residual, so I know I didn't, I didn't lose it. I don't have a reason to like residual. And also them winning the conference game last year kept Alabama out of the College Football Playoff and had a heavy future on Alabama. So there's a lot, there's a lot at stake.

[Kevin]

I got you. I got you.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm rooting for LSU conference. Although watching. And I know you guys haven't watched any given Saturday on Netflix.

[Mike]

I've seen most of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Brian Kelly, not. Not likable guy, is he?

[Mike]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

They even put his dad, they even put his dad in it to like show his family and like here he is. There's other layers of them and you're like, still don't like him.

[Kevin]

Like what's his dad like though? Is his dad likable?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, all old guys are likable.

[Kevin]

Okay. Well, not all.

[Mike]

Yeah, you can tell he's kind of a hard nosed guy too, his dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, for sure. Where are you in the season?

[Mike]

I believe I've watched five. Sorry, I think I got two more.

[Bobby Bones]

You haven't watched Mississippi State yet?

[Mike]

That was the last one I watched.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I kind of came away.

[Mike]

Coach Levy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, I like it. I don't love him, but I like him. Yeah, it seems like a.

[Mike]

Just a cool dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Mississippi State. And then have you watched the Kentucky one?

[Mike]

No, I haven't watched that one yet.

[Bobby Bones]

We have stoops coming up in a little bit.

[Kevin]

Are they broken down in colleges? Like every episode is out of college or just kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

Every episode is two schools. They follow two schools in Their game. Would that be accurate to say?

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. It's like two games each episode and two schools or.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So they followed Vanderbilt at Alabama, which is a crazy game to be at because they won the freaking thing. And then they followed Arkansas, Tennessee. Same episode when Arkansas beat Tennessee.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was like the underdog episode.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, it was good.

[Mike]

Coach Lee, man, who I'm telling you.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Don't you want to play for him? Don't you want to just order you around, even if it's not to play football? Yeah. You want to call them up, be like, tell me what to do today?

[Mike]

Yeah. Like, I want to call him every morning for motivation. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Clark Lee, it's Bobby. Just give me something to do today, man. Give me a list, because I want to do it to the best of my ability. Yeah, Clark Lee's awesome. Alabama, Florida State play. What's interesting about that is both of those teams kind of need a much better year. Alabama did not go to the College Football Playoff means they weren't in the top 12, which means it was the first year after nick Saban. Kaylin DeBoer is the coach. And now they're wanting to run them out after one bad season, which wasn't even bad. But then Florida State had a terrible year. Terrible. Last year.

[Kevin]

What do they win, two games?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I stopped watching. It got to be tough, bad. So that's Saturday. But for me, Saturday is my fantasy draft in one of my leagues. I only play in two leagues. But if they. They did it Saturday at three.

[Kevin]

Are we drafting Saturday? Is that a different. No, it's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a league that matters.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's not funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, It's Saturday at 3. Why would you have a fantasy draft on the first college football day of the week? I know there it's a lot of NFL guys, even former NFL players. So they're very much thinking about just NFL one week from then. But it's three o' clock and they're doing this big barbecue and everybody. I'm not going because Arkansas plays at 3 and I wouldn't go anyway because it's the first Saturday of college football. So I'm a little annoyed at that. So I'll be on my phone doing my draft, not eating free barbecue. But I will be excited because football started.

[Kevin]

You're in a fantasy league with, like, old NFL players?

[Bobby Bones]

There's a few.

[Kevin]

Gosh, dude, that's baller. Why would you even play in ours? Like, I would just get out of ours.

[Bobby Bones]

No, this is the one that I've played in for ours is like, 20 years.

[Kevin]

Oh, I know, I know. But you. I get more leagues now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I get more pride in that one because I see you guys.

[Kevin]

And you always win it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't always win. I win last year.

[Kevin]

Yeah, but you're pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I won the year before, and then two years before that.

[Kevin]

Do we still have a trophy for that one?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Kevin]

That. That league. We used to have a trophy that you had for a long time at your house. The big football. It kind of looked like a college football trophy.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I have so many trophies and awards.

[Kevin]

So dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

It just gets. Gets lost in the mix, you know? Um, so that is exciting. Something else I wanted to propose. So there's also this league that I do that is not fantasy. And I've talked about it before, and Matt Stell is a good friend of mine. He orchestrates it. There are six people now, teams, but it's six different teams. And what happens is you draft, and you. You don't pay anything to get in. There's no cost to get in, and you draft a team. So if I went first overall, I'd probably draft probably the Chiefs or the Ravens or the Bills. Right. It's that kind of thing. And throughout the season, for every game your team wins, you win like, 100 bucks. But if you lose, it costs you 100 bucks. So you're trying to draft. And so you also can draft teams to lose, meaning in the third round, because you only get six teams. You could draft. I'll take the Saints to lose, and every time they lose, you win. It's like if you're drafting a team.

[Kevin]

To win and they win, it's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

Where that gets you, though, is playoffs. While teams are still in the playoffs winning. You can't keep losing if your team's not able to lose.

[Kevin]

Gosh. That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

So there are all these little deals now. I've done it by myself, and the first year, I think I lost $3,000 in the league.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kevin]

So how. When you draft. How do you pay a certain amount of money when you draft the team?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to. You don't have to pay anything.

[Kevin]

Okay, so where does that money come from?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, whenever a team wins, that means a team is losing. Like, money goes into the pot each week.

[Kevin]

Oh, I got you. Yeah, I got you. So if you pick the losing team and they win, you've got to pay the $100 and that money will go to.

[Bobby Bones]

And mathematically it all works out. The first year I did it, I did not quite understand. I again, I think I lost $3,000. The second year I did it, I got it a bit better and I think I lost $400.

[Kevin]

Getting better.

[Bobby Bones]

Last year I won like $4,000.

[Mike]

Oh, nice.

[Kevin]

So in that trend this year you're gonna win like $10,000.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not that. Cuz those picks 5 and 6 get to be really weird because you don't know there are those teams that are like 500. And my point is, if you guys wanted to partner, I would take partners. I don't really need the money.

[Kevin]

We need the money.

[Bobby Bones]

But the thing is, you could lose a lot of money.

[Mike]

Yeah, we also don't need to lose the money.

[Kevin]

We really don't.

[Bobby Bones]

It's definitely the biggest risk reward of all the things that I do.

[Kevin]

I could safely say that I have about.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no money amount you can say. What do you mean? It's not. You're investing a certain amount of money. You would, it's, it's. You would own a percentage.

[Kevin]

Right, I know, but, but if I, because like going into this, this football year, I had to kind of do the numbers, crunch the numbers and find out how much money I have to gamble for the year.

[Bobby Bones]

But this doesn't matter. This is not related to that. Because you could win.

[Kevin]

We could win.

[Bobby Bones]

You, you don't put any in.

[Kevin]

You don't look at it as like, okay, but this is going to be the max. I can lose.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have a max. You can lose in this. There have been people that have lo lost nine to $10,000.

[Kevin]

Oh my goodness.

[Mike]

Oh my God.

[Bobby Bones]

But there are also people who have won. That.

[Kevin]

That's stressful. But I'm interested.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you guys wanted to have a percentage of the team, I would let you in. But the thing is you'd have to either pay that percentage if we lost it or win that percentage if we win it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin]

And then run, run the, the drafting by me one more time. So is it just kind of like a snake draft?

[Bobby Bones]

It is absolutely a snake draft.

[Kevin]

And then what happens?

[Bobby Bones]

There are six people, but you can bid on spots. Like I paid a couple hundred bucks last year to get like the third spot.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's tough.

[Mike]

Oh, man. And so you have that. The team that you pick, whether win or lose, you have them for the.

[Bobby Bones]

Entire whole year and you can't get rid of them because once I got the Rams and they sucked all year and they're supposed to be good and I was just, just bucketing water out of the boat. Like, oh my God. Just trying to.

[Kevin]

Trying to stay float.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. But the draft is Saturday.

[Kevin]

Saturday at 3 o'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock. No, 3 o'. Clock. You think about it. Because it's Tuesday night the 2nd. So it's. So we'll do another show before then.

[Mike]

Okay. And you're open to a percentage as far as what we contribute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Or it should be. It should be even percentage.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. I mean, I would think that would like.

[Kevin]

If you came in as a two percenter. Kevin.

[Mike]

Hey, I got five bucks on it, but we're in, guys. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, it's like a stock you buy, but there is no limit to what you can lose. But there's also. If you're good at picking. It's tough. It's way tougher than I thought it was.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's so. Because you think, you know, but yes. I mean, every year there's like four teams that don't make the playoffs that did and then vice versa. So it's tough. That's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

And last year I cheated the system. I won so much money, I don't know if they're going to eliminate me for doing this, but. Because I figured out that picks five and six are always toss ups and that's either what wins you or loses you. And I was like, screw that. So I picked the Bears to win in the fifth round and the Bears to lose in the sixth round, which is eliminated five and six completely. So I broke even. So I only had my four teams to use and those are the four best teams. And so I won a ton.

[Kevin]

That's genius.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't that no one's ever. And they debated it. When I started doing that, they were like, can you do this?

[Kevin]

But it wasn't in the rules at the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Kevin]

So it's got to be.

[Bobby Bones]

And I haven't heard that they've put it in the rules yet, but maybe they forgot. You know me, I'm trying to cut corners legally, but I'm trying to find loopholes. The second year when I lost just a little bit, what I did wrong was I figured out, oh, you can pick teams to lose. So first and second round I pick bad teams. But then when the playoffs came, I just kept losing money because I had nobody in it. So anyway, think about that. Yeah, think about that. We'll do it next week. Other breaking news. I do have Eddie's Superman costume.

[Kevin]

Oh, it came in.

[Mike]

Oh, let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

It's in my office. Okay.

[Kevin]

I can try that on whenever you guys are ready.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a mouthful. Have you tried on next week?

[Kevin]

Great.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have to stand for two hours and do the Superman thing.

[Kevin]

So my mom's in town too. She's gonna be like, what are you doing?

[Mike]

She has to drop you off.

[Bobby Bones]

She has to record you.

[Kevin]

My mom's gonna drop me off at the. At the bridge. Mom, pick me up in two hours. I'll be here.

[Bobby Bones]

She has to record you for two hours.

[Kevin]

My mom. My mom's gotta be like, what do you do for a living? Like, is this part of your job?

[Bobby Bones]

Hot dogs, Superman costumes. It is kind of cool that the weather's getting a bit.

[Mike]

Oh, it's the best.

[Kevin]

Yeah, dude. What's awesome is, like, my kids. My son's playing football, so those games at night. Oh, they just. It feels like football weather, which it hadn't been all summer, but, man, it feels good.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing that sucks, though, is. I know right around the corner, it's gonna be freezing freaking cold. Yep. That sucks.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Don't think about it.

[Kevin]

Enjoy the now.

[Bobby Bones]

You think Travis Kelsey retires after this year?

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Kevin]

100. He's got a plan, dude. He's got a plan for the wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if they win the super bowl, he retires. I think if they don't win the super bowl, he might retire. I think if they get to the super bowl again and lose, he doesn't retire. I think that's the only way he'd probably. I say AFC Championship or Super bowl and lose, he comes back for one more. If they don't even make it that far, he quits. If they win it, he quits.

[Kevin]

I see that.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't think he wants to blame to be on Taylor Swift. Oh, and I think that could be the blame.

[Kevin]

Bunch of haters. You know, they'll say that because I.

[Bobby Bones]

Think if it gets close, they're like, well, Travis Kelsey, if he'd have been better. But if they, like, finish. But nine wins and only win the wild card, I don't think people will put it on her.

[Kevin]

Dude, there's no way he's gonna have a good year. Right? Like, he just got engaged. Like, there's too much press on him. Like, is the. Is the podcast gonna go throughout the season? Like, there's so many distractions here.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he didn't have a great year last year, and that's probably why I know the University of Oklahoma Is now selling tickets to its football press conferences for $690. Fans can attend the post game media session after the Michigan matchup with coaches players. The Illinois State opener was priced at 460. It sold out. I can't believe people are paying that much money.

[Kevin]

Can they ask a question? Like, are they?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Kevin]

Okay, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's just see. With this new offer, regular fans can get up close and personal access for just a few hundred bucks and not be on the hook for budget busting donations. I don't know. Maybe. Man, people are whore themselves on every way now.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That better go towards like nil or something.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure it will like has to. It goes maybe even toward like the bottom line and then the profit. I don't know. But yes. They're not doing that just to help the school out. They're doing that to make money for. Yeah, that's crazy Program, the organization.

[Kevin]

I saw a tick tock on Middle Tennessee, you know, the, the university, how like they're. They got rid of half of their jerseys because they're like, well, we don't need to get white jerseys and blue jerseys.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's not right. They. They're not doing all. They have to have white and blue. Those are what they have. They're not doing alternate jerseys, like alternate whites or alternate. They only have one. No.

[Kevin]

I was like, dang, dude, that's what you're going to have. Blue on blue at one point. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, thanks for clarifying.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to like stop and. No, no, you were very wrong on that one. I was just going to let you. I was going to let you carry that one.

[Kevin]

I was even going to go one step further. I'm like, dude, they weren.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because.

[Kevin]

They cut budgets so they can have some nil money and be competitors.

[Bobby Bones]

So the great thing about that story is, which I find really fascinating is okay, so Middle Tennessee State, it's a national story. So not just local TikTok.

[Kevin]

Local tiktoks, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Local TikTok didn't have it. A national TikTok did, which is cool. So they've eliminated their alternate jerseys, meaning they're not going to spend money on a second version of blue, a second version of white, different helmets. And they end up saving like half a million dollars and just not having to spend that extra money on that. And that money goes back into the program, even nil. Also what they're doing, they're allowing football players to Sell tickets?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the football players get a percentage of the ticket sales.

[Kevin]

Yeah. That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're like, yeah, Everybody gets like 2000 a year for nil. But if you want to actually make more, you can. Which I think is pretty cool.

[Kevin]

Thank you for telling that story correctly.

[Bobby Bones]

I gave.

[Mike]

Thanks for bringing it to the table there, Eddie.

[Kevin]

Well, I brought it up then. You took it from there, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. I was letting you have it though, man.

[Kevin]

Sam Houston State's coming. They're gonna play Middle. Middle Tennessee. I'm probably gonna go to that game.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Kevin]

Yeah. Even though I was thinking about going to that Western Kentucky game last week, but, man, they got murdered. Sam Houston State got murdered.

[Bobby Bones]

They played last week.

[Kevin]

They did. In Western Kentucky, in Bowling Green. And I told the kids you wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't on my local tick tock.

[Kevin]

I wasn't that good of a game.

[Bobby Bones]

Quickly, the odds to win the national championship. Texas at one, Ohio State at two, Penn State at three, Georgia at four, Clemson at five, Alabama at six. Notre Dame, Oregon, LSU and Michigan round out the top 10. Arkansas, we're playing Alabama. A M. Should be.

[Kevin]

Let's go, baby. What's the spread on that?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I didn't even look 30. I don't even look, man, I love.

[Kevin]

The first week of football because these odds makers don't know anything.

[Mike]

There isn't one because it's. Because it's such a mismatch.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's like an FCS type thing. Yeah.

[Kevin]

I bet you they'll throw up a live one at some point.

[Bobby Bones]

FCS is Division one Double A, right? Double A is it fc? I get FCS and fbs because I don't. I don't ever refer to them as that.

[Kevin]

FBS is the big boys.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I thought. Like, I think of it as like. Bobby.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Big boy.

[Kevin]

Big boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That place is good.

[Bobby Bones]

What, Bob's Big Boy?

Yeah, that one.

[Manny]

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

[Ebony]

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane.

[Manny]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[Bobby Bones]

And they're saying like, okay, pull this.

[Manny]

Until this, pull that, turn this. It's just, I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Noah. This is Devin.

[Manny]

And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence.

[Kevin]

Those who lack expertise lack the expertise.

[Mike]

They need to recognize that they lack expertise.

[Manny]

And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing.

[Mark Stoops]

See?

[Manny]

[Jake Hofer]

I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

[Bobby Bones]

Should you? That's what the real question is.

[Mark Stoops]

Stand without good access is not a good stand.

[Jake Hofer]

Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Now let's go over to our talk with Kentucky head football coach Mark Stoops. Coach Stoops going into his 13th season as the head coach of the Wildcats, the longest tenured coach in the sec, and he's really, I feel like, turned the program around in a significant way, especially at a school that you just think of as being a basketball school. Kentucky opens with Toledo this weekend, Ole Miss, week two. We talk about that. Big thanks to Coach Stoops for coming on. Here he is, Coach Mark Stoops. Coach Stoops, we appreciate the time.

[Mark Stoops]

Thank you. Good to be on with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, so what's this week like? How is it different than last week? Because it's game. It's game week, baby. Let's go.

[Mark Stoops]

That's right. It's definitely game week. You know, I think, you know, when you get to game week, it's been a long off season. You know, we had a lot of work to do starting last winter and certainly through the summer and in this fall camp. So come game week, I think everybody has a little extra pep in their step and is ready to get going. We're tired of, you know, playing against each other, hitting each other and all that. So we want to see a new opponent.

[Bobby Bones]

That's interesting. So I'll Go there. You talk about hitting each other, and a lot of teams, they get fatigue of just playing each other and also fatigue of just practicing. And so there's scuffles occasionally. What's your relationship like at near the end of practice and people are fighting?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, that's. That's a great question. And ironically, we had that about a week ago or so. Right towards the end of camp. We had one of those hot days and guys were just on each other's nerves and. And we had a big fight right at the end of practice, and it kind of pissed me off. Blew the whistle and teed it up and started practice completely over again. We went right to stretch lanes, then we went to individual and added another special teams period and was going through practice and then time ran out. You know, I have some rules and regulations that I have to stand by, so I went as long as I could, but then. Then I, you know, wrapped it up. So I went as long as I could with a new practice. So, you know, we have to be more disciplined. You know, fights are going to happen in camp, but the way this one, you know, happened, I just kind of had enough and wanted to kind of set. Set down the law for him.

[Bobby Bones]

That's old school. Like, that's like, again, I only played, like high school football, so, like, back in the day, we didn't even get water if we weren't good and. But we would finish. We would come back from an away game, and if we played terrible, like, we'd have to get out and run sprints at night. They turn the lights on. Do you. Do you do anything like that if it's like a bad game? Do you ever show back up and like, all right, boys, into film now. Or let's run sprints.

[Mark Stoops]

I'd like to a couple times, but I haven't done that one. But I think we needed to a few times. I might have to incorporate that if we have a bad game this year.

[Bobby Bones]

We used to, like, do Oklahoma drill pre game as well. That's the stupidest thing we could have ever done, right?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, that's not very smart. Yeah, you're probably going to do enough hitting in that game, so I think that's probably enough. But they've outlawed that, that drill. We can't even do that drill anymore in college football.

[Bobby Bones]

What is your favorite conditioning drill? We did a lot of up downs. Like, what is your go to?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, I think, you know, in season, like over backs. You know what I mean? So something to. To get some. Some sprints you know, did some 80 yard striders and going all the way back to my time playing at the University of Iowa. Hayden Fry and all those guys. We used to do these cross fields. We'd jog out to the hash, sprint and get to the other sideline and back. So I like those. I always feel like that's good conditioning.

[Bobby Bones]

The gassers still exist. Or maybe that term isn't used anymore. Or bull in the ring, two of the old school things.

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, I mean gassers, I think there's different forms of gassers. They still exist, I think in the summ 110. Certainly jump on the back of our players, that's for sure. And we have a beautiful hill right outside my office here on the practice field that we do some hills things of that nature. But bull in the ring, no more of that as well. I mean they kind of outlawed some of the things that was direct contact and hitting head to head with players. So, you know, football is a violent sport. You're going to have enough of those type of contacts and hits as well. So we try to limit those as.

[Bobby Bones]

Much as possible in practice before the season starts. Do you allow your quarterbacks to get hit at all?

[Mark Stoops]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So they have a different color jersey and how do you expect them to be ready for hitting if they don't get to get hit?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, that's a, it's a great question. I think they, they, you know, fortunately with our starting quarterback, he's played a lot of football, so I think he remembers what it's like to get hit, you know, and, and I say that, I mean when they pull the ball and run it on a quarterback scramble or a design quarterback run, I mean they're going to get thudded, but nothing too drastic.

[Bobby Bones]

Calzada, the kid that I remember from Texas A and M, I grew up in Arkansas so I watched a lot of Arkansas ball when we got beat by Calzada. He's your quarterback now. What do you like about him?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, like he's, he's a big kid, he's very strong, he's got a lot of experience and he's got a big arm. So I like the way he's been practicing, you know, through, through summer and you know, I'm excited to watch him play. I think he's the type of young man that he also takes it up a notch in, you know, any game like situation here. Obviously I've just watched him in scrimmages, but he always seems to take it up a notch in scrimmages. And, and hopefully he's going to do that with games as well.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the law kid from Alabama? You got the wide receiver. Do you expect him to have an impact?

[Mark Stoops]

I do. Kendrick is a, is a really great young man. Very strong, he's very explosive. He's great with the football in his hands. He'll be a kick returner for us. Wide receiver, He's a gunner on the punt team. He does a lot of things and you know, he's had a great impact so far.

[Bobby Bones]

After a game, win or loss. What film do you like to watch? Offense, defense. What was good or what was bad? Like, what do you want prepared for you and ready?

[Mark Stoops]

Well, I'm a defensive guy and I usually start with the defense, but I have a better fix on that during the game of what happened and whatnot. So, you know, generally I start with the offensive film. Now I watch that first and then go to defense and special teams.

[Bobby Bones]

I was looking at some of the guys that you coach defensively and Ed Reed comes to mind when I look. He's the number one on the list of the players. What was he like to coach that young?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, Ed was absolutely fantastic. You're right. I was very young at the time. And Ed is an old soul and a great man and, you know, he was really, you know, I was fortunate I took, you know, that job and the great Chuck Pagano has had them all teed up and coached up. I followed Chuck at the University of Miami and you know, fortunately he left me with a great secondary there. We added some great ones like Sean Taylor and Antel Roll and Kelly Jennings. You know, we, we added some future first round picks, but I inherited guys like Ed, Mike Rump, Philip Buchanan, you know, three first rounders my first year. And, but Ed was just kind of like he, he set the tone with the whole team. He, he was really handled his business. He was extremely self, self motivated. He was the type of player that sometimes he and I would walk on the, on the way out the practice field and I'd be like, Ed, I'm going to get after you today. Like I'm going to coach you extremely hard just to set the tone with the rest of the guys. And you know what he would say? Bring it on, coach. He said they need it. And you know, it's just, that's just the type of man he was. He's, he's a great person and a great leader and it was, it was an absolute pleasure and a joy for me to coach him.

[Bobby Bones]

You have three brothers that have all coached or are coaching. And I know Bob a little bit because my family is big Oklahoma, and so I've had Bob on the show a couple times and been lucky enough to spend a little time with them. Do you ever use them as, like, analysts, like recreational analysts?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, definitely. As I always say, Bob has been through it and so has Mike. I'm fortunate to have Mike with me here now. And Mike's a. Mike's the type of guy like he's in. He coaches linebackers now, but he has great experience being a coordinator, being a head coach. And, you know, and he.

[Bobby Bones]

He's.

[Mark Stoops]

But. But he also trusts my judgment and, you know, he'll. He'll give input when needed. And Bob's the same way. He's always a resource for me. I know I could pick up the phone and talk to him or kick around ideas at any time, and I do on occasion. And then, you know, during the TEFL, tough moments and in the season when he knows things are going rough, you know, he understands that he, again, he trusts, you know, what I'm doing. I've done it for a long time here. And, you know, so I don't think he oversteps, but I know he's always there and he's always willing to help. But, you know, he also lets me do my thing.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, the commissioner came out and said, hey, we're going to do nine SEC games and we're going to do a one game against the Power four team. It has to be another power four. It's. So some. Some teams are having to modify schedules next year because it's going to start next year. What are your feelings on adding an SEC game?

[Mark Stoops]

You know, I think, you know, I've been on record lately just saying, hey, bring it on, because I could just tell it was going that way. I know, you know, you could just feel that the commissioner wanted it that way and the leadership and I trust their judgment, and it is what it is. And so, you know, for me, it's no business. You know, I have no time fighting that or anything like that. I mean, obviously, it's a challenge for all of us. I think if you asked any coach in the SEC of adding another SEC game, they know the physicality that comes with that and the challenge that comes with that, and you're adding one more loss to. To half the league, no matter what. So it's a challenge. It's going to be very difficult, but it is what it is. I mean, I'm in a. I'm In a difficult situation, a difficult job each and every year. I'm used to it.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you think then the CFP should go 16 teams and give the SEC another at large bid? I feel like that's was the general sentiment as to why they're doing it.

[Mark Stoops]

I mean, you know, however the format the SEC is going to get their teams in there, I mean, if the people vote in which, in selecting these members, which I'm sure they're very educated and, and will do a great job, I mean, you can't help but put, you know, some SEC teams in there. If strength of schedule matters, then, you know, then people with common sense will understand how difficult it is. But, you know, for me, it's just, you know, I don't worry about it too much. I have a lot of work to do just to get us in a, in a good position to win our first game. So that's really my concentration.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you friends with John Michael Montgomery?

[Mark Stoops]

I am, yeah. John Michaels happens to be a really good friend of mine and you know, in the early days. Well, I've been here 13 years and we've played golf in the off season a lot. He used to be in a standard group that we'd have a little, little money game at our local course and John Michael's still a part of that. I haven't played with him as much lately.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he was flexing on me that he played golf with you. And I was like, I'm a coach. If he actually played. What kind of golfer is John Michael?

[Mark Stoops]

John Michael is actually a good golfer. He's got a good swing. You know, just like any of us that play recreational golf. We're going to go through some good days and bad days. So when John Michael's in a good position there, he's a good partner to have that, that's for sure. And, and just like any of us, there's, there's days when, you know, you want somebody else.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get to play much golf before the season and I'm assuming no more golf?

[Mark Stoops]

No, no more golf. Yeah, I'm done with the golf clubs. I put them away really in, you know, pretty, pretty much. They're away in July. You know, you might sneak a round or two in July, but the best time for us coaches, or for myself is really, you know, late spring and early summer. You know, June is so busy for us anymore. In July it's kind of done. So we have a quick little window. But I do love playing. Yeah, absolutely. I like playing golf when I can. You Know, but unfortunately that's a short window for us.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the expectation from you with this team this year?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, I'm on the record. I've talked a lot as you know, this time of year and a lot of speaking engagements and different things. But I've said it over and over, but it's true. You know, I really can't wait, you know, to, to, to go out there and take the field here this Saturday. You know, we've put a lot of work in and we needed to, you know, I wasn't very happy, very proud of the team last year. We've been very consistent and had a very good program for a long time in a, in a difficult league and I just wasn't pleased. You know, we, we failed to meet our, our standard last year and, and didn't play very good. So we put a lot of work into it through the, the winner and building this team and selecting the right teammates and, and developing them through the, through the off season. And so we put the work in. Now it's time to go play. It's time to go execute our plan and I can't wait to see him play. But I have high expectations for this team. I don't know, I never put any, you know, wins and loss totals on it or anything like that. I just want to represent this great state and this university and do things the right way like we have for a long time. And you know, we want to play very tough, hard nosed football and be disciplined and execute and do all the things that, that, that, that people know when they put on the film or they watch tv, they see a team that's playing extremely hard and that's very physical and, and you know, and it's fun to watch. So you know, I'm excited to get it rolling.

[Bobby Bones]

It's kind of a dumb guy question, but you have Toledo week one and Ole Miss week two. So it's a, it's a conference game coming up quick. How do you keep focused on Toledo when Ole Miss is right around the corner and that game means more because it's a conference game.

[Mark Stoops]

Well, we all understand that the conference games are extremely important, but let's be honest, I think, you know, and you know, here we always have to respect each and every opponent and Toledo is a very good football team. As you know, they, they're picked to win the Mac and heck, they have, I want to say 13 or 14 AP top 25 votes. And you know, some people are picking them to be, you know, the group of five Representative in the playoffs. So, you know that they're a very good team. They went on the road last year and beat an SEC team pretty badly and also beat a Power 4 team in a bowl game in six overtime. So they're a very good team. I have a lot of respect for coach, and, you know, what they've done. They've been there a long time, and so we just got to go take them one at a time.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were to ask the refs, what's the most annoying thing about you on the sideline, what would they say?

[Mark Stoops]

Coach, I probably don't agree with every call they make.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would expect that to be the case. How does that manifest itself with you?

[Mark Stoops]

You know, over the years, I've really tried to calm down. I mean, you know, you know, because, listen, we're in a lot of close games and, you know, a call, one call here or there can. Can swing games and. And, you know, we work hard and our players work hard, and we're under a lot of pressure, and, you know, you have to be good enough to overcome anything and take whatever's dealt to you. And, you know, I've tried to take that approach, you know, as I get older and calming down over the years and, you know, you know, don't want to overreact to anything. You know, again, you just to have to be able to overcome any situation, and that's what I'm trying to do.

[Bobby Bones]

I suspect that having the press conference after a win is a lot easier than a loss. Do you ever have to, like, regather yourself before you go out after a loss and go, all right, I know I'm triggered right now, but I need to go and actually, like, present something suitable instead of something angry.

[Mark Stoops]

Absolutely. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. And, you know, there's times when I just have to, you know, obviously, I talk to the team and address the team and go through that and then have to go into my locker room over in. In the stadium and just gather myself for a minute and get my thoughts for sure. You know, you don't want to go out there and say something that you regret, and you want to make sure you handle yourself the best you can in all situations. So generally, you know, there's been. There's been really, you know, big highs and big wins as well, along with some really tough defeats. And either way, I try to just regroup and gather myself and make sure you have some clear thoughts. Before you go into that, I have.

[Bobby Bones]

Two final questions for you, and this is going to go back to like the late 90s when you were the defensive back coach at South Florida. And then from there you went to Wyoming. The juxtaposition, that's difficult because it's like sunny and awesome and then all of a sudden you're in three layers of coats, right?

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah. Boy, you did your homework on me here. That's going back a long ways. That, that's a drastic change for sure. Going from, from South Florida. Let me think here.

[Bobby Bones]

My.

[Mark Stoops]

Yeah, I went South Florida to Wyoming. That's correct. And then from Wyoming I went to Houston.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. See, hopefully you kept the short sleeve gear. Why that feels like that would be so cold in Wyoming. Coaching in the winter, was that the coldest of all the jobs?

[Mark Stoops]

No question. It was definitely the coldest. I will say this, a lot of people talk about that in Wyoming, but I had a great experience, experience at Wyoming. I, I, I worked with the late Dana Dimmel, who passed this past year, who's a great man and a really good friend of mine. But I had a great experience at Wyoming. I really did. I have many great friends to this day, you know, from, from Wyoming and in that experience, so. But very cold, very windy, difficult place to play.

[Bobby Bones]

Seems like a difficult place to throw if it's so windy all the time, that you got to have a big cannon arm like a Josh Allen, which probably, which is why he did so well there, because he could throw the ball through the wind at times. Is that crazy of me to think?

[Mark Stoops]

I definitely Josh Allen, that was well after me. But that's a great example of somebody that is not too worried about the wind or the weather or whatever. He could rip it no matter what.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, final question. What personnel group at Kentucky do you think you're going to have the biggest growth from this year?

[Mark Stoops]

I hope it's the offensive line. I talked a lot about it. You know, that, that, you know, we, we've had a great tradition of being really strong in the offensive line and being a very physical football team. Again, I think we fell short of that last year and that's my job to get that fixed. And I think we've put in a lot of work. I have a lot of confidence in these guys. I know they care. I know they work extremely hard and are very passionate about what they do. And I hope you see great improvement from that group this year as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, coach, good luck to you guys. And as the ultimate sign of respect, and I don't do this for every coach we have on, but I did pull my Arkansas helmet out of the shot. I didn't want it to be in the lead while I was talking to you and my secondary helmet because I know Coach Leipold, he. I pulled. I pulled the Kansas helmet out because I just want this to only be about Kentucky and not these other teams. That, that, that for this interview only, are garbage.

[Mark Stoops]

Hey, well, thank you. I appreciate that. How about if I send you a Kentucky helmet and you could put it on your show every here, you know, throughout the year?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, if you sign it, I'd love to have it. If you sign it, I' it up here on the set. Coach, I appreciate that and good luck to you guys this year and hopefully we'll come up there and see a game at some point. So thanks and good luck and I hope you have a great week against Toledo.

[Mark Stoops]

Coach, thank you so much. It was great being on your show. I love what you do and you're always welcome at Kentucky. Thank you very much.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you, coach. Have a good day.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

[Ebony]

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[Manny]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[Bobby Bones]

And they're saying like, okay, pull this.

[Manny]

Until this, pull that, turn this.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like we do the show now. I'm doing with two influencers. Yeah, baby influencer. And whatever the crap you're doing over there.

[Kevin]

What do you mean? What do you mean?

[Mike]

Whoa, Are you talking to Eddie?

[Mark Stoops]

Oh, oh.

[Kevin]

And he. And you mean baby as in like father or influencer? A daddy influencer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, baby influencer.

[Kevin]

I thought you meant like, I'm the papa influencer. He's the baby influencer.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I. No. Well, I don't know what you're doing on social media, but it's creepy.

[Kevin]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, you told me to pick a.

[Kevin]

Lane, but it's in a lane.

[Bobby Bones]

It's weird.

[Kevin]

And you're hating big time.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not. Why am I hating?

[Kevin]

Because you're. You're exposing what I'm trying to do on my comments. I had to delete one of your comments.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you do that? That's. That's. That's great for engagement.

[Kevin]

No, no, wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it is.

[Mike]

What was the comment?

[Bobby Bones]

You deleted a comment.

[Kevin]

He's like, somebody's making money off. It's like, I don't need that off the creator fund.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the greatest engagement. That's bait.

[Kevin]

No, the other one was good.

[Bobby Bones]

No, the fact that you deleted it.

[Kevin]

Oh, you didn't notice I deleted it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't. Go back and look at my comments. Your work encountered what you're trying to do. Leave stuff up like that.

[Kevin]

So you know what I'm trying to do?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I wrote it.

[Kevin]

Yeah, but we don't need to tell. You don't need to pull the curtain on the wizard of Oz, man.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not a Wizard, dude. So he did this video, did you? The one he did with the food.

[Mike]

I. The sandwich.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Breakfast. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good video.

[Kevin]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

He talks like a pedo. Oh, what's a pedo? A pile.

[Kevin]

Oh, Pedophile.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Kevin]

What are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

Your voice is like, dang.

[Mike]

Now that you say that you have, like, pedo voice.

[Kevin]

Shut up.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I. Can we hear the clip? This is Eddie. Go ahead.

[Kevin]

Decided to make a breakfast bagel. So let's fire up that Blackstone. Start with the bacon. Pretty easy. Just make sure everything's is spread out. That way it cooks evenly. Flip them over when they look crispy and set them off to the side so you can dry off that excess oil. Now it's time to scrape off some of that leftover bacon stuff. But this is important. Leave the bacon grease, because that's what we're going to cook our eggs on. Let's get to cracking. It's just a simple over easy egg.

[Bobby Bones]

I like talking to a child. Okay, here's the thing we're gonna do.

[Kevin]

I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't say, like, get in the van.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he has a weird voice when he does his voiceovers. Mike. I think so. Yeah. It's weird. So that's the same voice you would say that to? Hey, this doesn't feel authentic. It doesn't. It feels super fake.

[Kevin]

What do you mean? Like, how is. What's authentic? How do you tell someone to make a breakfast sandwich? You do it. Ready?

[Bobby Bones]

Action. I don't make breakfast sandwiches.

[Kevin]

Okay. How do you make.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just your voice. Remember the Opry one that you did a while ago? I just now remember this. And we were like, dude, why is your voice so weird?

[Kevin]

What Opry one?

[Bobby Bones]

When you were like, here's a day backstage at the Opry.

[Kevin]

I don't remember the last time I did that.

[Bobby Bones]

I show up at the door and it's like, dude, who are you trying to get?

[Mike]

I think I do. It was on his Instagram, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yeah. Like, who are you trying to get to get in the band with you again? That's what it feels like. Now it's time to get on stage. Yeah, I did that.

[Mike]

Yeah, I got candy over here.

[Kevin]

Okay, so you're saying a little more.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't feel authentic.

[Kevin]

Authentic would be like, real, real me would be like, all right, it's early in the morning. I need breakfast. Right? Like, let's just make some eggs. Get the bagel, put some butter on it. Like, what do you want?

[Bobby Bones]

That's you being authentic.

[Mike]

That's not you.

[Kevin]

What do you want me to do? I'm trying to be me.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels like you're doing a cartoon voice. It feels like I have a creepy voice a little bit.

[Kevin]

Maybe it's the mic I'm using.

[Bobby Bones]

No, like, when you talk now, you talk normal, but you get the roll.

[Kevin]

Bagel, bagel.

[Bobby Bones]

You get the bagel, and the first thing you do is you put a little egg on it.

[Kevin]

Hey, let's get to cracking.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's get the cracking. I thought the video was good.

[Mike]

The video is awesome.

[Kevin]

But the voiceover.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was so weird. I couldn't watch it. I was like, oh, I can't do this, man.

[Kevin]

You guys, like, I. I get second thoughts every time I do these now because you're just, like, criticizing my. My influencing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Well, all based on love. No, no.

[Kevin]

Hate.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Why? Why are we being so hard on you?

[Kevin]

Because it's something new that I'm doing.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not used to it because you hated on Kevin so hard when he started doing it.

[Kevin]

But, dude, I've been cooking for my forever.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not about dad for, like, it doesn't matter. You were such a hater when he started making videos, and you're like, what's he trying to do? It's so stupid. And then you then start doing being an influencer after him. We have to bust your balls.

[Kevin]

So I don't sound like a pedo. You're just busting my.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's. It's pedo voice.

[Kevin]

Pedo voice. Now when I do a voiceover, I'm gonna be like, don't sound like a pedo. Don't sound like a pedo.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't, like, exaggerate the happiness.

[Kevin]

Oh, but I'm trying to do. Let's get to cracking.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't have to be sad. It should be normal.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Gosh, that's tough.

[Kevin]

All right. I really thought I was doing my. My. I thought I was doing my real voice, but I definitely don't want my real voice to be that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, pedo voice. You can avoid that. Let me go back and see if I can find your.

[Kevin]

The Opry one. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I remember I only remembered halfway through this segment that we've had this issue before where we're like, what? What?

[Kevin]

We've had this issue before. Like, you guys talked about it. Like, we didn't talk to Eddie about this.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we talked about it on the show. Right, Mike? Yeah, we did.

[Mike]

I mean, the Food looked really good on the video.

[Kevin]

Thank you, dude.

[Mike]

I will say that.

[Kevin]

I'll just keep my mouth shut.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't be deleting comments.

[Kevin]

It's just yours.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, don't be deleting my comments.

[Mike]

The biggest comment of them all.

[Kevin]

Well, he's like, pulling the curtain on the wizard, dude. I was like, man, you don't need.

[Bobby Bones]

To tell her you're not a wizard. Second of all, I want people to.

[Kevin]

Forget that I'm making money off those.

[Bobby Bones]

Munchkin at best right now. Why do you think everybody thinks you're doing it?

[Mike]

Was it.

[Kevin]

Well, now everyone's just like, hey, I'm just commenting here, so you get a couple dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, that's what I would do. Yeah, let that live. Let that be in that same space I'm looking now.

[Mike]

Some people comment on it, like, I love that you're making money off of it or something.

[Kevin]

Yes. People do it all.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, let that be your thing instead.

[Kevin]

Of just put it, because what now making money is my thing? Not cooking.

[Bobby Bones]

No. But people will be a part of the joke. They'll put. They'll post in the comments.

[Kevin]

It's not a joke, dude. I'm really trying to do food. Like, hey, you didn't like that bagel? Did you not look at that video?

[Bobby Bones]

I couldn't even look at the end because I thought the voice was so creepy.

[Kevin]

Kevin, did you want the bagel?

[Mike]

I mean, yeah, I went all the.

[Bobby Bones]

Way through Eddie's videos, but as of salads, food I can't find.

[Kevin]

Yeah, because that was a long time ago, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

The shot. Yeah, but when's the last time we've.

[Kevin]

Been in the Opry? It's been a.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I mean, I played it a few weeks ago.

[Kevin]

Well, that's you. I mean, us.

[Mike]

It wasn't. That wasn't like a year or so.

[Kevin]

Ago, Maybe two years.

[Mike]

Was it that long ago?

[Bobby Bones]

Here's an Opry video. But that's not.

[Kevin]

And that's crazy that you still. If that's two years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go.

[Kevin]

This is a day in the life of someone who's lucky enough to play the Grand Ole Opry. That's me. When you get there, security tells you to park. And then you go through the Grand Ole Opry artist entrance, and you think, gosh, how many amazing people have walked through here before me? Then security tells you where your dressing room is. I thought we were in dressing room five. Turns out we were in dressing room six. Then you tune your guitar up because they tell you you're about to go on in about 20 minutes, and you better sound good. Then you look outside your room and Vince Neil from Motley Crue is walking by.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Kevin]

This guy's crazy that it's time to go on stage. That sounds like a pedo. Does it end there?

[Bobby Bones]

You. No, the Internet's bad. Maybe the Internet had it too. They were like, we can't.

[Kevin]

We can't do this.

[Bobby Bones]

We can't allow this. I was gonna let. But you hear it there.

[Kevin]

I definitely hear it there. I don't hear it in the cooking one, but definitely hear it there.

[Mike]

I. I think the music helps in the cooking one.

[Kevin]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Crack it up. Yeah.

[Kevin]

No, let's get cracking, whatever it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, that's all.

[Kevin]

Hey, did I get a shot of Vince Neil walking by there? Yeah, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

He walks by the room. Speaking of videos, you see the Will Smith video Mike? Yeah. So Will Smith is doing a concert video. And he's like. And all the fans. It's. Apparently, it's all AI. He AI'd all the fans. And the reason they. The reason they know is because, again, according to the comments, they would zoom in on some of the signs, and they were spelled like, AI spell stuff because AI can't spell. If you look at, the faces are, like, scrambled a little bit.

[Kevin]

I think somebody even said somebody had five fingers. One of the hands that were out reaching.

[Bobby Bones]

And a thumb.

[Kevin]

Five fingers and a thumb.

[Mike]

I did see it, and I saw, like, people crying. I'm like, why are people crying at a Will Smith concert?

[Bobby Bones]

And it was like, take me to Bel Air. Like, all these great signs. But how crazy that he AI'd an entire concert. I wanted people to believe it. Now I have AI'd Stanley, the bulldog swimming in a pool with a deer. But then I met that quickly with swimming in the pool with an alligator, then swimming in the pool with a pig. So then people started to know it was a joke. And the second one that I did was Stanley at the dog door. And Stanley comes in the dog door, and then a bobcat comes in and lays in a bed beside him.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

People are like, oh, that's crazy. So then after that, an eagle. Yeah, like, eagle comes in the dog door. And so AI videos, they're easy to make, look pretty real. But then you have to, like, admit. I think my admission is when I amplify the videos to get crazier and crazier, then people get it.

[Mike]

Yeah. Immediately.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bobcat, alligator, eagle.

[Mike]

As soon as you threw an Alligator in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Like. Yeah, I did a dinosaur, too. Oh, you really make sure people knew, like, it was Stanley on the side of the pool, the dinosaur swimming in it. So it's crazy that he tried to get away with that, knowing that people are gonna spot it. He's kind of like the origin of AI Whenever they first came out with that video of, like, him eating spaghetti. Oh, yeah. It was like Will Smith eating spaghetti. Yep.

[Mike]

Oh, I thought you're talking about the movie.

[Bobby Bones]

No, the old, old video of. It's like a meme now, too. Yeah, man. Yeah. I felt bad for him, but it's not like he tries to still be cool. Yeah. Because you've seen. I've seen videos of him performing on the street and, like, nobody gives a crap. He was like, in this big crowd of people. It's like him and Rita Hora. Yeah, no problem. Nobody cares. No way that people are buying tickets to a Will Smith concert and being that excited. He's also trying to still be hard. Yeah. Meaning he's like, I saw one where he's doing no crowd. He had headphones on, and he's like, yeah, yeah, here I am, still doing my thing. You know, I got five on. Yeah. Five rings. And here I go, still manipulating. And everybody salivate. And it's like, dude, just chill. Like, stop. Think I act bizarre. Yeah. It's like, dude, I think it's fun to do, like, old, fresh print stuff. That would be fun. And add some. But you can't. You're not hard anymore. You're, like 60. It was like I bite off more than I can chew, and then I chew it.

[Mike]

Did he say that?

[Bobby Bones]

That's what he said in that video. Him rapping now is like Eddie doing voiceovers.

[Kevin]

Oh, no, don't compare.

[Bobby Bones]

It's going to come back around. It's going to come back around. It just feels inauthentic and a little creepy. Yeah.

[Kevin]

Which one?

[Bobby Bones]

Both. Both. So my. You don't have to take it. My advice would be just be a little more normal when you do your voiceovers.

[Kevin]

You know what? I will say thank you for not posting this. Sounds like a pedophile.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't write that. I didn't write that. I didn't write pedo voice.

[Jake Hofer]

Then you can delete that one.

[Kevin]

I appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what friends are for. If I should say that. Thank you guys for being here. We appreciate you guys being a part of the podcast. As always, thanks to Coach Stoops for coming on. I just got a message too, saying, helmets on the way.

[Kevin]

Oh, yes. That was quick.

[Mike]

I wonder which one he's gonna send. They have some cool.

[Kevin]

Oh, the chrome would be the best.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, mostly to me, it's like, don't want blue or white. I don't really care. And I was just like, hey, I took. I did take the Arkansas helmet out of the front because I felt he's an SEC school. I didn't want to have an Arkansas helmet. I'm talking to Tennessee. The Kentucky coach.

[Kevin]

Disrespectful.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I did highlight them to see if he would, like, take the bait and be like, well, I want to send you one too. And hey, you got it, dude. We'll put it up here on set as well. So. Thank you, guys. If you don't mind, share this on your Instagram stories. That would be awesome. 25 whistles bridge brought to you in part by. No, I'm just kidding. We don't do that.

Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's start with a quick puzzle. The answer is Ken Jennings appearance on the puzzler with A.J. jacobs. The question is, what is the most entertaining listening experience in podcast land? Jeopardy truthers believe in?

[Mark Stoops]

I guess they would be conspiracy theorists.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. They gave you the answers and you still blew it. The puzzler. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
