[Andy Staples]

It's a podcast.

[Kevin]

Call 25 WHISTLES. 25 WHISTLES. Everybody blow it. Thank you. There's a lot of places to start. Congrats to Kevin's New England Patriots for winning the game last year.

[Eddie]

Let's go, boys. Thank you. And congrats to you guys because that keeps us alive.

[Brandon Ray]

Our New England Patriots at this point.

[Kevin]

Well, we bought them in a league and we only lost a little bit because they kept us from losing a lot.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Yeah. So we owe a lot of money in that league number now. Yeah, it's probably.

[Brandon Ray]

Let's talk about later. Dude, we don't need to talk.

[Kevin]

We probably owe like $5,000.

[Brandon Ray]

I just.

[Eddie]

Thanks, Brandon.

[Kevin]

Sorry, bro.

[Eddie]

We just started off on a great foot here. Patriots winning and Brandon's like, how much you guys owe, by the way?

[Jacob Goldstein]

It's.

[Kevin]

He didn't make anything worse.

[Brandon Ray]

Well, yeah, I didn't.

[Kevin]

Really. Because you run from reality doesn't mean reality doesn't exist. Right.

[Andy Staples]

It's right there.

[Kevin]

So. But you had to feel good because it was an ugly Game. It's a boring game.

[Eddie]

Very.

[Kevin]

Who cares when the game you win.

[Eddie]

Defense looked great. I'll take that. And I'll take a win all day. Drake May had his moments for sure, but man, he had a couple great moments dropping dimes.

[Kevin]

His nickname is growing on me.

[Eddie]

The Drake. Drake May.

[Kevin]

Drake. Drake May. Yeah, like he doesn't need a nickname. It's his own name. It's so good. Drake. Drake May. Drake. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

[Eddie]

It's hard to say. That's why I don't really say it. But yeah, it's cool, I guess.

[Kevin]

Man, those boys are getting knocked around last night into the game, those quarterbacks, both of them.

[Eddie]

Oh, I felt at the end I legit felt bad for Herbert. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, man. If you're like his family member, I'm like, is he okay?

[Kevin]

He was taking some shots. Dude, we can roll through the games quickly. Eddie didn't get to watch the Jags and Bills at all.

[Brandon Ray]

I didn't do it. I was so we were dealing with some family drama. I had to call a family powwow meeting and it was like, I know that this is probably going to. I'm going to miss 30 minutes of the game, but we should do this, dude. Ended up going three hours. Like we talked about so much. And then I look, I'm like, oh, my gosh, I missed the entire Bills Jaguars game.

[Kevin]

Is a good game.

[Andy Staples]

So good.

[Eddie]

When they.

[Andy Staples]

The best one when they picked him.

[Kevin]

Up and like tush pushed him into the end zone.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Kevin]

That was crazy. It ended up being a yard short, but they, they were fourth and one trying to Tush push them. And their offensive line basically picked up and carried him all the way into the end zone.

[Brandon Ray]

Was this the very end, like 10 yards?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevin]

That's when I made the joke. And you didn't laugh at it because I don't think you saw it.

[Brandon Ray]

No, not. I mean, a couple things. Like, I didn't laugh at that because I didn't watch the game. And then you guys posting your betting slips. Guys, I'm trying to take a little break from gambling. Just a little. And that's almost like you guys posting, like if I'm a drug addict and trying to quit posting like a drug bag of coke. Yeah, dude, like, I'm not looking at that.

[Kevin]

I hit a big parlay, like a 9. It's not a gamer because I hit. I was doing a bunch of prop bets.

[Public Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Nine leg. And then I thought, ah, this is all extra money anyway. So let me try to catch up. And I bet a big one last night, the Eagles. And I needed two more rushing yards from McCaffrey and two more passing yards and I would have hit for thousands of dollars. I could have cashed out because I think I bet like 400 bucks on that one to win. Close to 4,000. I could have cashed out like 800. I'm like, I just need two more yards.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[Brandon Ray]

You're thinking you're going to get that.

[Kevin]

It didn't hit. That's the closest I've ever been to. To a big one without hitting it.

[Brandon Ray]

And you. Did you have a scratch on that one too? A kiddle?

[Kevin]

Yeah. Because Kittle went down in the first half towards Achilles.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, dude.

[Eddie]

Brutal. That early exit is legit, though. I mean, sucks for Kittle, obviously, but as a better. It's like O.

[Brandon Ray]

And that's got to happen before the half, right?

[Andy Staples]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Andy Staples]

Yes.

[Kevin]

Draftkings with the early exit was legit. Yes. So games, Rams. The Panthers. Panthers.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, we almost had that dude.

[Kevin]

At first you thought it was all Rams. Then the Panthers got back in the mix. And not only that, then you thought the Panthers were going to win the game.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, they had. I thought they had the last drive.

[Kevin]

And then Rams pull it out.

[Brandon Ray]

It's like you said though, dude, like when it comes down to the last two minutes and there's a kickoff and they don't make it in that zone, they're going to be in field goal range in two plays. That's kind of what happened.

[Andy Staples]

Have you officially stopped pounding?

[Kevin]

I have stopped pounding. I stopped right after the game, but I was proud. Moral victory. I'm not a big moral victory guy. But for the Panthers, they were ten point dogs. As a good game, I think you feel good. They took Bryce Young's fifth year option in his contract. So they're not, they're not, not taking it and they're not offering him a new deal right now. But they're going to take his fifth year. I mean, I think he's their guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

I don't think they draft a quarterback one more year. Yeah.

[Eddie]

As far as it's ev. Your guy guy, like long.

[Kevin]

I don't think they draft a quarterback in the first couple to few rounds. No.

[Eddie]

No. Because they have other stuff that they're like, okay, well if we can get this far, if we draft a, I don't even know, another running back or something like that that'll take us the next step.

[Kevin]

They just updated. If you Guys have no NFL money.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Andy Staples]

Can we wait?

[Brandon Ray]

Let's just get this.

[Kevin]

Why?

[Brandon Ray]

Because it just puts me in a bad mood. It puts me in a different mental space.

[Kevin]

You got to be stronger. You got to compartmentalize.

[Brandon Ray]

Dude, that number is so big that when you say it out loud, my mind just starts drifting to like, second job.

[Kevin]

We are at my lawnmower. We're at minus $5,000 right now.

[Eddie]

So, I mean, that's like the best weekend we've had in a long time. Until we only lost 100 bucks.

[Brandon Ray]

We just hoped on one team.

[Kevin]

Well, we have a game tonight.

[Andy Staples]

Oh, shoot.

[Kevin]

So wind up being -51.

[Brandon Ray]

What do we need tonight? Is there.

[Kevin]

It doesn't matter. Both teams, so. But it's 25 for me and 12. 5 for each of you. We need the Patriots to keep winning.

[Brandon Ray]

Yes, we do.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

We need to win the super bowl and.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then they play the winner of the game tonight. So do you guys have a preferred.

[Kevin]

I picked Pittsburgh to win because everybody else is not picking Pittsburgh to win. Everybody else pick the Texans. I would rather them play Pittsburgh. Me too, because Pittsburgh kind of sucks. Yeah. They came from a weak division. The Texans defense is really freaking good. Yeah.

[Eddie]

The Texans defensive line. I mean, the Chargers saw what they did to the Patriots. That. That Texans will. That defense will worry me.

[Kevin]

Packers and Bears, really good game.

[Andy Staples]

Great game.

[Eddie]

So good.

[Odoo Ad Host]

God.

[Kevin]

Ugly at first. So not a good. When I say really good game. The end of the game was really good.

[Public Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

And the Bears were down that fourth down that Caleb Williams to. Was it Roma Dunes. That was it. That was the play.

[Eddie]

That was nasty.

[Brandon Ray]

That just seems to be the way the Bears played all year.

[Andy Staples]

It's true.

[Brandon Ray]

Just like just come from behind and win the game.

[Kevin]

Live by the sword, die by the sword. They just haven't died by the sword yet. Yeah, but there's only max three more swords to even try to live by. I know.

[Andy Staples]

I just couldn't believe all the fourth downs.

[Kevin]

Ben Johnson was going for especially early and wasn't man.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah. There's a couple early like. Dang, dude.

[Brandon Ray]

What you think about Ben Johnson and the handshake?

[Kevin]

I think here's my honest opinion. I think they're manufacturing a little rivalry here and I don't know. They. They obviously don't like each other. The packers and bears, that's been 100 a year.

[Brandon Ray]

Rivalry.

[Kevin]

No doubt. I think the fact they split. I think the fact that the Bears are kind of getting good again because packers have been killing them over the last 15 years.

[Brandon Ray]

It's been a bit.

[Kevin]

Aaron Rodgers owned them. He said, so I own you. Like he. So whenever Ben Johnson got the job in his press conference, he was like, I can't wait to beat Matt LaFleur twice a year.

[Brandon Ray]

And he did.

[Kevin]

Well, yeah, he did. Now in the playoffs, one on one regular season, and that's what he was referring to. But, you know, they had short handshakes. Once LaFleur hit him on the back, then it was another quick. It was kind of douchebaggy. But I think, I just think it's manufactured. I think they are purposefully like, hey.

[Brandon Ray]

Look, I'm going to act like I don't want to shake your hand, right?

[Kevin]

But they may end up firing LaFleur.

[Eddie]

Now, I saw this morning that they're trying to work a new deal actually to extend them. They're trying to keep them.

[Kevin]

Oh, they are?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

I thought they may move on.

[Eddie]

That's what I. That's what a lot of people are saying. But now they're going the opposite way and like, oh, we're going to try to keep them around and sign to extension.

[Kevin]

Good for him. I think he's a really good coach.

[Eddie]

He is. But then they blew it.

[Brandon Ray]

You think if Michael would have played, they would have won that game?

[Kevin]

Probably. It's easy to say. It's easy to say, but probably because he'd have been the best player on the field, period.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I'm going to say now, but yeah, probably.

[Kevin]

Chargers and Patriots. Patriots. When? Bills, Jags.

[Eddie]

I missed the Niners Eagles game.

[Andy Staples]

You did.

[Brandon Ray]

You're playing a really good game, too.

[Eddie]

I know. Well, I missed the second half. The, the part that's fun, you know? No, I was on a date night. I was like, she's like, come on, just like one game. Okay. We can go for one playoff. Miss one playoff football.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But then the Patriots are coming. And I knew. She knew, like, after that time, once that game started, it was all Patriot football from then. So I gave her a half.

[Kevin]

It's really good.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, it's a really good game, dude.

[Kevin]

Maybe the best. We just tell each other when you.

[Brandon Ray]

Missed it, say it's the best of the.

[Kevin]

It was. It was a bunch of really good games.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, Sunday was really good till the end.

[Eddie]

Saturday was great, too.

[Kevin]

I, I, you know, I bet the 49ers a few weeks ago as my future. They gave me good enough odds to be invested, so I bet a thousand bucks on that game or on that on them to win. So it's up. It's 23,000. My cash out's not that good yet because they have to play Seattle next. If they beat Seattle, I think they can get to the super bowl because I think they can.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but they.

[Kevin]

Seattle just served him some.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Some terrible tubby medicine.

[Eddie]

I have a feeling it'll be. It probably won't be that pretty.

[Kevin]

The story about the 49ers and that. That power plant that's near them.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin]

Crazy. Because Kittle got hurt again.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Because he has been hurt. But this. He was really hurt. Like his. His Achilles is. It tore, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah. You see it again?

[Kevin]

So I sent this to Kevin last night and I'd heard about this all last week. The 49ers are statistically the most injured team in the NFL over the past decade. And so the story came out that there is like, what do they call that place next to it?

[Eddie]

A power plant is basically. No, I don't know. It's not nuclear.

[Kevin]

If it says power, it's not nuclear.

[Eddie]

Extremely low frequency magnetic field.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh my.

[Kevin]

And like the average. Is it like some fractional number. But what they have is so much higher. And they think that there's probably a causation. That why people are getting injured in San Francisco more than anywhere else.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because it says that it like it impacts your collagen on your body. And so all these injuries that they're having are like collagen rich injuries. So like your Achilles, your tendons. Whoa.

[Kevin]

They suffered far more full Achilles and patellar tendon ruptures than league average.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Kevin]

Along with recurrent grade 3 hamstring and calf tears and high ankle syndomosis. I probably saying that wrong. Injuries tearing the ligaments containing the shin bones. No other franchise even running those identical schemes on the same hybrid turf. Because it was always turf, turf, turf, turf. But now they're looking at teams that have the same turf and it's not the same with them.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. And I think they play on grass, don't they?

[Kevin]

In early 2025, they may practice on turf, though the grass.

[Brandon Ray]

Is the practice there near. Near Levi's Stadium.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's right. Yeah, it's there. It's like in between the plant and the stadium, basically.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, dang. I didn't know that.

[Kevin]

In early 2025, 49ers guard retired John Feliciano let slip a locker room theory that has circulated among players for years. Players have joked around about there being an electrical substation right next to the practice field and how that has led to the Niners injury problems. So what about this when you read it makes you think it could probably.

[Eddie]

Be true, that it's something scientifically that is way above my head, but it all makes sense in the same time. So I don't understand exactly what they're talking about as far as the frequency and the numbers and all that, but this guy, literally, who did this article, his name is Peter Cowan, he has a video out there where he's on the field measuring the frequency, and he's saying, like, hey, this is normal. Like two, whatever. But these are at nine. Yeah. Milligauss is what it's called, guys.

[Brandon Ray]

It's right there.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I've never heard of Milligauss before.

[Eddie]

I saw this meaning either.

[Kevin]

But, yeah, it was like, it's between, like seven. Like. Like between one and two is normal. And they would. They would always find. This is between seven and nine.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

That is crazy, guys.

[Eddie]

And they're practicing on that. I mean, and even when you're not practicing, you're around it.

[Brandon Ray]

Let me tell you this. This plant is double the size of the stadium.

[Kevin]

His mechanism claim, non thermal EMF weakens collagen integrity over time, making routine football loads more likely to produce catastrophic soft tissue failure.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm sold.

[Kevin]

Didn't take much.

[Brandon Ray]

Didn't take much. Dude, I had no idea. I mean, they. It's where there's normally a parking lot at the stadium, there is a power plant.

[Kevin]

Yeah, we have a map.

[Brandon Ray]

We're studying the map and the topology.

[Eddie]

And. And they also. He was also saying that they're like, oh, it was tested. Like, it got. You know, it's official, it's okay, blah, blah, blah, they're safe. But those same numbers or whatever tests they do were, like, approved in the 90s. This is 30 plus years later where it's like, okay, can we redo these tests again?

[Andy Staples]

Right?

[Kevin]

That's like.

[Brandon Ray]

You know when they have those schools where, like, teachers and students are getting cancer and they're like, there's got to be something in this area, and it.

[Kevin]

Ends up being something in the water that they don't know or something like electromagnetic.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Andy Staples]

Are you guys worried about when we go?

[Kevin]

Well, we're there quick.

[Eddie]

Okay, then we won't be on the.

[Kevin]

Although I don't think Eddie's going.

[Andy Staples]

Just don't walk.

[Brandon Ray]

The hell are you guys talking about?

[Kevin]

What? Oh, sorry.

[Brandon Ray]

What are you all talking about?

[Kevin]

Well, we have. We're going to the Super Bowl.

[Brandon Ray]

You guys are going to the super.

[Kevin]

Bowl for a show, right?

[Eddie]

Not the game. Not the game.

[Kevin]

We might. Who knows? If we go to the game.

[Brandon Ray]

Three of you guys are going to the Super Bowl. And no one told me this, but.

[Kevin]

All three of us work up there. That's weird. All three of us work on. Lots to say.

[Brandon Ray]

No, I get it, but you. None of you guys told me you were going to Super Bowl. Not one.

[Andy Staples]

Bobby, I'm not going.

[Brandon Ray]

I cannot believe you didn't tell me you're going to Super Bowl.

[Kevin]

I don't know that I'm gonna go to the game this year.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, okay. Same. Okay.

[Kevin]

But we're gonna go and do interviews.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

So that's what he means. We're going up there for media days.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We're still going. Like, you're not going, like last year.

[Kevin]

I don't know if we're gonna say.

[Eddie]

You don't know. I don't know about the game yet.

[Brandon Ray]

I think. I think Kevin thinks you were going to. You guys are going to the game because the way he.

[Eddie]

No, we're going to the Super. Like, we're going to. Brandon's saying we're going to San Francisco. And what are we going to San Francisco for the Super Bowl?

[Kevin]

Yeah. It really wasn't a thing. We weren't keeping it.

[Brandon Ray]

Promise? No promise. You guys would tell me. You guys will tell me if you go to the Super Bowl?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'll show you. I'll send you a picture when we're there.

[Kevin]

Dude, what if the Patriots make it?

[Eddie]

I know. Oh, my God. This is a. I know. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, but if they make it and.

[Kevin]

You got to pay all that money for NFL League and then you're gonna try to buy super bowl tickets.

[Andy Staples]

Geez, man.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Brandon Ray]

What do you do there?

[Eddie]

You know what?

[Kevin]

Credit card.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Kevin]

You did see last year where the tickets dropped like crazy the closer I got to the game.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And. Yeah.

[Kevin]

And if your own team is in it. Have you ever been with all your wins?

[Eddie]

Heck, no.

[Kevin]

When you were younger.

[Eddie]

No, No. I. On it have. I don't even think I've ever even been to a playoff game.

[Brandon Ray]

For the Patriots.

[Eddie]

Patriots. I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the Patriots. So it would. Yeah, it's definitely a thought that's crossed my mind already. I mean, you're trying to get ahead of myself here.

[Brandon Ray]

You're going to be there already, though.

[Eddie]

I know. If I'm already there, then it's kind.

[Kevin]

Of like you got to focus on the Steelers or.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Kevin]

The Texans first.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Kevin]

Keep your focus on the game ahead.

[Eddie]

Hey, one game at a time, guys. Okay.

[Kevin]

You know it's going to end up being the Bills and Patriots again, Right.

[Eddie]

I'm down with that.

[Brandon Ray]

That would be cool.

[Eddie]

Then we get them at home, which.

[Kevin]

Is good because they split, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

The last game they beat you guys pretty good.

[Eddie]

Well, we were up 21 nothing. And they came back.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then they kind of ran away.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

They beat you pretty good.

[Brandon Ray]

They beat you.

[Eddie]

Yeah. One on one.

[Brandon Ray]

At the end of the game, they beat you.

[Kevin]

[Kevin]

Hey, let's get over to our talk with national college football reporter Andy Staples. Andy covers college football for On3Sports and has his own podcast called Andy and Ari on three, which you can listen to, which you can watch on YouTube. One of my favorite guests, also a big music fan. So let's get over now. Here he is, Andy Staples. All right, we're joined now by Andy Staples, one of my favorites. And you have so many. And I'm going to do a quick promo here, but you've got Andy and Ari, which I listen to and watch on YouTube. But then you have Andy Staples on three, which is just solo. I've not heard the solo pod.

[Andy Staples]

No, no, no, That's. That's the old show. Oh, good. That's why before we stole Ari and brought him back into the fold, I was going solo. See what you do on this podcast, God bless you. I don't do solo. Well, and I know, like on your show, you have your team to help you and that's what I needed Ari for.

[Kevin]

Well, I felt like such a casual because I was like, I don't know that when I listened to the other one, so. Okay, good. I don't feel like such a casual anymore.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Andy Staples]

Now, that was the first year when I was just floating by myself and saying, where'd my friend go? What happened? And contracts are contracts and we took care of that, so.

[Kevin]

Well, let's start with talking about the national championship game. Do you think there's anything to it? Since it's in Miami and it is basically a home game for Miami, do you think that will affect anything?

[Andy Staples]

Well, if it, if, if Miami were a more traditional college football crowd, maybe. But I'm looking at the price of these tickets. I think the Indiana people are having an effect on that, too. And I was also at the Peach bowl, which is the most dominant. I've ever seen one fan base take over a bowl game. I mean, it was. It felt like an Indiana home game. And I'm pretty sure the Falcons crowd has never gotten that loud in that building. So I've got a feeling that there's going to be plenty of Indiana fans there too. Now, like the Nebraska fans will tell you from. From way, way back in the day when they play, they would play Miami in the Orange Bowl a lot of times with the national title on the line or one of them trying to win a national title. That would be, you know, a Miami home game. And it would feel like Miami had an advantage. So maybe. But I would imagine that the Indiana folks, because of how rare this is, because, you know, they've been through so much, this is one of the losing his programs in college football history. I think they are going to come out in very strong numbers. And I don't think it's going to feel like anybody's home game in particular. I think. I think the numbers are going to be a little bit even.

[Kevin]

Do you credit that to Indiana having such a large alumni base? The largest, or the fact they've never had good football?

[Andy Staples]

Both. I think it's both. I think this group's been activated. I mean, they've been dying for this. They've always had. Well, always is not. Is not. They had great basketball for a long time that they would tell you it's not been as good as they want it to be in the last few years. But. But they've never had this in football. They've never experienced this. So this is such a new thing because for the Indiana fans, like, none of this has ever happened in their lifetimes. They are going to soak up every moment of this. Now I'm watching Kirk Sinetti do this, and I think they're probably going to be doing this for a few years, as long as he's there. But if I'm them and I've waited this long, I'm snapping it up. I don't care how much the tickets cost. And it's funny, Bobby, because that same stadium about a year ago, Taylor Swift was finishing up the ERAS tour and I. My daughter, you know, was dying to go and she's like, I get it. The tickets are too expensive. My wife wakes up the morning of the show in Miami. We live five and a half hours from Miami and she's like, the tickets dropped overnight. We're going. You're buying the tickets now. And you know what? I'm so glad I did because my daughter Got to meet Taylor Swift's mom and had the time of her life. And my wife and my daughter had this incredible experience. If you're an Indiana fan, you can have that experience. You know, think about all the. The fathers and sons and mothers and daughters who grew up loving, the Hoosiers who get to experience this now. So I bet they're not going to let a little thing like a very expensive ticket stop them.

[Kevin]

Did you go to the Taylor Swift show or just your wife and daughter?

[Andy Staples]

I had to work. I was pissed because I'm this. I'm the Swifty of the parental unit. I'm the Swifty. My wife's not. And she's like, yeah, she's got some pretty good songs. I'm like, oh, come on.

[Kevin]

What did your wife think about the show?

[Andy Staples]

Loved it. Loved it. She said it was, you know, one of the best concerts she's ever been to. You know, she's. She's partial to the Garth Brook show she saw at the Swamp at Florida in 2019, but that's just because she's partial to Garth, I think. But, yeah, it's. It's one of those things where I was dying inside because I had to work and I'm getting the text updates and. But I was so glad that. That my daughter got to experience it because it was something that she and her mom are going to share forever.

[Kevin]

We'll get back on sports here, although I could talk concerts for, like, two hours. So, yeah, if we go over and we look at Indiana this year and a lot of people, again, it's recency, possibly bias, where they're comparing it to the borough LSU Tigers, you know, when they had Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase, the team is as good as that team. Is this Indiana team as good as that team, or is that just. We're looking at it now, so we want to talk about it.

[Andy Staples]

I. I don't know. I don't know if any team could be as talented as that team in this era. I think it's going to be hard. We'll have to see. How does Elijah Surratt do in the NFL? How does Omar Cooper do in the NFL to get a sense of exactly how talented this team was? But I think it's harder to create a team as deep as that team was because, remember, that was pre. Changing the transfer rules. Like, if you were an undergrad, you had to sit out a year. If you transferred, you could only transfer and play right away if you're a graduate student. And so it was pre NIL it was very different. It's, it's crazy because it's only been six years since that season, but it may as well be two different sports in terms of roster building.

[Kevin]

What's the best concert you ever been to, Andy?

[Andy Staples]

Oh, God.

[Kevin]

Yeah, it's a tough one. We're ready for that one.

[Andy Staples]

That is a tough one. That is a tough one. Well, I, I, I mentioned. So I also had to work. I, I was the SEC invited us to referee or officiate the Georgia spring game. So I was the line judge in the Georgia spring game with an actual SEC line judge showing me what to do and what not to do on the day that Garth played the Swamp, which I had a ticket for and couldn't go. But I did see him at the Orlando arena when I was 15 years old, and that was spectacular. My first concert ever, Bobby, was a Jimmy Buffett show at Carolwinds, which is the amusement park on the North Carolina, South Carolina border. I was four years old. I fell asleep. Can't imagine what might have made me drift off to sleep. What aroma in the air might have done that? But then in college, I got to go see Jimmy in Tampa, and that was spectacular for me because I grew up a parrot head, and my dad would make fun of me because you fell asleep at a Jimmy Buffett concert. So I had to make up for that. So those are probably my two favorites that I've been to.

[Kevin]

The coolest thing about a Garth Brooks show is he plays all the hits. Like, even if he has stuff out, he makes sure there may be one or two new maybe, but it is all hits when you watch garth.

[Andy Staples]

So my 25th anniversary is in July, and I talked to my wife about this. We actually have to figure out if our kids schedules can sync up on this. But we're in July. But in late June, in Hyde park in London, there is a Garth Brooks and Zach Brown band show. And I was thinking maybe that's how we celebrate our anniversary.

[Kevin]

Yeah, that would be cool. I didn't know you're such a Garth guy. My favorite Garth story. On April Fool's Day, like, four years ago, I got a call, and I know Garth a little bit because we've done some stuff together. And I got a call from a number that I didn't recognize. I didn't answer it, and then I got a text from that same number that was like, hey, this is Garth, and it's April Fool's Day. So I had a Garth cell in my phone, but it wasn't that Number and it's April Fool's Day. So he's like, hey, I want to ask you to come open for me at one of my stadium shows. Are you around? And this is for sure an April Fool's prank. No doubt. So I'm like, hey, oh, my God, call me in like two hours. I'll be off the air. I'll be home. And so it's like, okay. And so I tell my wife, hey, somebody's trying to get me. So I put it on speakerphone, and this person who's acting like Garth is like, hey, I want you to come and open up this show. I'm from Arkansas, so it was Razorback Stadium. And he's like, be the main support before I go on. And I'm like, okay, who is this?

[Public Ad Host]

Really?

[Kevin]

And he goes, literally, it's Garth. And my wife's like, you need to chill out. That's freaking Garth Brooks. And it was. It just happened to be on April Fool's Day, so.

[Andy Staples]

Wow.

[Kevin]

In front of a hundred and twenty thousand people. Because they allowed the ground.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah. The whole field.

[Kevin]

Yeah, we got to. I got to play at. And Garth was so cool. He said before he went on, he said, hey, you can have the whole stage. Because he does that in the round. And mostly when there's. When an opener hits, they don't get the whole stage. You get your little section. Garth's like, run all the way around. It was super cool. So I'm a big Garth guy as well, so I hope you guys get to go to that show. His. His live show is unbelievable.

[Andy Staples]

Funny story about that. So my coworker, Brett McMurphy at On3, who I worked with years and years ago at the Tampa Tribune, Brett and Garth went to the same high school. So Garth was the quarterback and Brett was the running back. And so they know each other very well. And I ended up interviewing Garth for Sirius XM when they announced that stadium tour that we're both talking about. And it was funny because my co host that day was Jeff Schwartz, the former offensive lineman, played at Oregon. And he's like, I don't really know any Garth Brooks songs. I listen to edm, so you just get to handle all the questions. And so I had Brett feed me stuff. But it was funny because on those, you never know. And Garth was doing a junket across a bunch of different SiriusXM channels. And I think they were introducing the Garth channel that day, too. But you never know with somebody if they really. Because, like, Garth is an experienced performer. He knows when to be on and how to do it. So you never know if they're really interested in the thing that your channel talks about or not. But I did with him because I asked him an Oklahoma State question. Obviously, for those who don't know, Garth was a javelin thrower at Oklahoma State and is still a huge Oklahoma State fan. But you never know how big a fan somebody is. And this is when Taylor Cornelius was the Oklahoma State quarterback. He was only the starter, I think, for one year. And I asked Garth in Oklahoma State question, and he's like, well, you know, Corndog had a pretty bad game, that game. And I was like, okay, you know. You know, Taylor Cornelius is called Corndog. You are a ball knower here. So we're in a safe space now. And we had the most fun interview, except I got in trouble with my wife, Bobby, because I got a little flustered because I said, my wife's gonna be the show. I can't be the show. He goes, what's her favorite song? I said, the dance. The dance was my mom's favorite song. The river is my wife's favorite song. I was like, oh, God, I messed that up. And I knew I messed it up as soon as it came out of my mouth.

[Kevin]

There are only three people that I feel are next level in making you feel like you're the only person in the room that I've dealt with. When they come in, you're convinced that they know you and love you. Garth is one. I think Taylor went to the Garth School of that, because Taylor is just like that as well. When she comes in, she is so equipped because they've told her who she's talking to. She looks you in the eyeballs and she, like, makes you feel again, like you've heard that about Bill Clinton and stuff. Like, when he would talk to you, you'd feel like the only person in the room. And Dolly, those are the three that I've spent time with. Where you leave going, that's my new best friend.

[Andy Staples]

It's interesting because there are some coaches that are like that. There are coaches who. And you can tell that they recruit that way. I'll give you an example. For one, Dan Quinn, the Washington Commanders coach, he's like that. When you meet Dan Quinn, you feel like you have known him for your entire life, and you may have just met him five minutes ago. And that's why he was very briefly a college coach. He was the defensive coordinator at Florida under Will Muschamp. And I've told athletic directors time and time again, I'm like, look, I know he's got an NFL head coaching job. He's probably not interested. But if your job opens, you should at least call, because there will be no better recruiter in the world than this guy if he becomes a college head coach.

[Kevin]

That's interesting. Who else? Because I've spent some good time with Shane Beamer and I really like Shane and I felt like Shane and I were best friends.

[Andy Staples]

Oh, Shane connects.

[Kevin]

Yes. It's that trait. Who else have you met that you feel that way about?

[Andy Staples]

I mean, the guy that just left Arkansas, Sam Pittman. Sam Pittman's one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. He's awesome. And Kirby smarts like that, too. If you're a football player, I think with Kirby and with Nick Saban, if you are not a player, if you don't, if you not earned their respect as a football player, you don't get the same level of. Of engagement. But if you are a player, that connection, you can see it immediately.

[Kevin]

How was Saban when he recruited? Because did he just recruit off? I'm Nick Saban. Or again, was there. Like, you're talking about that connection with recruits or recruits and parents?

[Andy Staples]

No, I think. I think Nick is one of those people who is going to do his homework. He's going to know exactly who he's talking to. You know, you've seen him in action. He's not in. He doesn't have the conventional social skills that say, like a Garth Brooks or a Taylor, like a performer has. But when he is talking about the thing he does, the thing he loves, he is so engaging and so smart and. And everything he says, like he's thought it through and he has every question ready to be answered by mom. And he can engage with parents and engage with players. He can certainly engage with players because he understands them on a visceral level. But it's interesting because Nick Saban probably would have been. I've asked him this, and he laughs when I ask him. What would you have been if you hadn't been a coach? Because, you know, he was going to go take over the service department, I think, at a car dealership. And I think he would have probably been the largest owner of car dealerships in America. Like, remember the Bill Heard? There used to be Bill Heard in every major Southern city. That would have been Nick Saban, except with probably luxury brands because he likes the nice cars. But, yeah, it's amazing because he can connect on that level. And it's interesting in the way he speaks. So we. I know we're. This is probably not where you thought this was going, but there's a service called ASAP Sports, and they transcribe press conferences, and they have. It's kind of. Each transcriptionist is. Is kind of regional. So there's a lady who handles most of the ones in the south, and they bring her in. And so the. The coach is talking, and she is transferred. She's like a court stenographer, essentially, and she can transcribe the conversation in real time. And so one time, I was on a shuttle bus with the lady who does ASAP Sports for Florida, and she was talking about the various coaches that have come through events she's done. And she's like, this is Urban Meyers coaching at Florida. Jimbo Fisher's at Florida State. So Urban Meyer.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like.

[Andy Staples]

He never completes a sentence. Jimbo Fisher. She's like, he talks 200 miles an hour. It's so hard to keep up. I said, what about Nick Saban? She goes, that man has perfect diction. And then. And then I started listening to Nick Saban interviews differently. And it's true. The man speaks in perfect, complete sentences. I can't write them as well as he speaks them.

[Kevin]

I'm not sure your relationship or your experiences with Dan Lanning, but we went up to Oregon, and I spent some time with him, and I'll get a text from him occasionally referencing Arkansas, like, we're, you know, my school, and, like, don't give up hope yet.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

And Dan Lanning is definitely younger than a lot of the coaches that I talk with. What. What do you think of Dan Lanning as a person? Do you feel like he's a connector?

[Andy Staples]

I definitely feel like he's a connector. I feel like he's. He's excellent at connecting with a lot of people. He's. He's got. It's more than just the. The this is football, I'm your coach thing. You can tell he's got kind of a mischievous side, and you've seen that with some of the stuff he's done with the recruits. And, you know, I was there the other night at the Peach Bowl. I covered the Peach bowl and listening to him talk about his team in that moment, which is a terrible moment for a coach, you've just gotten blown out. Everything you work for is over, and you lost it in the most embarrassing fashion. And he's sitting there next to Dante Moore and Bryce Betcher, one of their linebackers, and he's talking about the contributions that the seniors to that team had made and how it hurts him that when they get weather finally going, that those guys won't still be with them, but they will have laid the foundation for it, and they will have gotten so much closer than anybody else ever has. And he talked about how this is a good kind of pain because it means you got this far and you didn't quite make it, but you did get this far. You put in the work to get that far, and you're going to learn something from it, and you're going to carry something with you for the rest of your life. And in that moment, you're like, I would send my kid to play for this guy.

[Kevin]

What do you think the Oregon fan base feels now? Disappointment. But are they upset at the situation at all?

[Andy Staples]

So I was cruising the message where Scoop Duck is our organ cited on three, and it seemed like it was a very small minority that that was concerned about Dan Lanning's ability to ever get them to the national title. It seems like most of the fan base understands, hey, this guy's getting us there pretty much every year. He's getting us to the doorstep pretty much every year. He's going to get through eventually. And I think that's the right way to look at it. I said this about Kirby Smart for years and years, when you know it gets to the national title game, they lose on second and 26. Then they lose in the SEC championship game to Alabama. Then the next year, they smoked by LSU in the SEC championship game, and it's like, oh, is he ever going to get there? Or is that second and 26 going to be as close as he ever got? Well, if you keep putting your team in that position over and over and over again, eventually you have the right roster, the right chemistry, the right everything. And he did. He had it two years in a row, and I think Dan Lanning is going to have that. I said this on my show the other day. I think Dan Lanning is going to win a national title at some point in the next five years.

[Kevin]

I want to talk about quarterbacks for a second before we let you go. And I'll go to DJ Lagway. At first it was, yeah, he's gonna go to Baylor, but then Ole Miss is in the mix. Where does he end up?

[Andy Staples]

I still think he's gonna end up at Baylor. The Ole Miss thing's interesting because a lot of this depends on Trinidad Shambless and what happens with his eligibility. The NCAA denied his appeal for another year of eligibility, which I Figured they are. I figured they would. I figured they deny the waiver. I'm sorry, not his appeal. He hasn't appealed yet. They're going to sue in Mississippi State court. And I think the hope there is not that they win the case, it's that a judge grants an injunction that says, hey, you can play while this case is being fought out in court, which, given how slow the legal system tends to move, would allow him to play this season. So that part of it could play out in the next couple of weeks. And so Lagway is talking to Ole Miss. Ole Miss has gotten a commitment from Deuce Knight, who was at Auburn this past year. He's from Mississippi. He was a big time quarterback recruit, was originally going to go to Notre Dame, flipped to Auburn on signing day. We actually got to see him play against Mercer this year because they were trying to save Ashton Daniels redshirt at Auburn and Deuce looked pretty dang good. So I'll be curious to see how that all plays out. But, but the Deuce thing, I think the feeling is they maybe weren't ready for him to be the starter right now and they're hoping they have Trinidad for another year and then Deuce can slide in there. But if they don't have Trinidad, then DJ becomes an option. But I still, I still think DJ probably winds up at Baylor where it's a more sure thing, like you're going to be the guy.

[Kevin]

What about Raola?

[Andy Staples]

He is committed to Oregon. Just before we started doing this, he committed to Oregon.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Andy Staples]

Now, now I'm not sure when this show is dropping today. So the. Yeah, the situation. And even, even within hours, the situation may change. I think. I think this means Dante Moore staying at Oregon because I think the Raiola decision had a little bit to do with the idea that he could do what Dante Moore did, where he got to sit behind Dylan Gabriel for a year and learn. And I think that's an interesting way of looking at it because Dante Moore made a fairly unusual decision. There's. Which is why, even though Dante Moore could be a very high NFL draft pick, I don't know that he's going to make the conventional decision, which would be go to the NFL. So we'll see if Dante says he's coming back. It may be that Dante says, hey, I'm going to the NFL and Dylan's going to be Oregon starter. But it also, this says to me there's a chance Dante comes back, he's the starter and Dylan waiting behind him.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I did not See that. We were in the middle of doing a little broadcast here. Oh.

[Andy Staples]

So this, this never stops. It's crazy. Try planning a daily show around, especially if you have any time stamp everything.

[Kevin]

Hey, one of the things happening right now that I have, I saw pop up in the news and I'm just surprised that it's still a thing. Is the guy that played Offensive Line, Matt Khalil.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin]

He was married to getting divorced and she was on a podcast talking about how his. His wiener was so big and now he's suing her.

[Brandon Ray]

Why would you sue for that?

[Kevin]

Matt Khalil's ex wife, Haley Bailey and I. Is she a big influencer like that name sounds?

[Eddie]

I think she was on a reality show.

[Kevin]

Is that what it is?

[Eddie]

I'm pretty sure. Let me check.

[Kevin]

Is pushing back against his lawsuit against her. Her lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the suit and it was that she said his wiener was so big that it was. Made their life difficult.

[Andy Staples]

Wow.

[Brandon Ray]

Made their life difficult.

[Kevin]

And that he was. And he was embarrassed and he's like, I'm suing, like to share my personal information.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. I mean, big or small?

[Kevin]

Can you find the quote? Oh, small. Be way worse.

[Eddie]

She said it's. It's the size of two Coke hands. Yeah.

[Andy Staples]

Oh, I get.

[Brandon Ray]

Where's the Coke can?

[Eddie]

That's a big Coke.

[Lenovo Ad Host]

Wow.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow, man.

[Kevin]

I mean, think of a Coke can.

[Brandon Ray]

I know, dude.

[Kevin]

Do it with yours.

[Brandon Ray]

That's two of them.

[Kevin]

Dang.

[Brandon Ray]

Ouch. Yeah, I can see how that's difficult.

[Kevin]

He's a big dude, though.

[Odoo Ad Host]

But.

[Brandon Ray]

But this is wife. Ex wife.

[Kevin]

Ex wife. Yeah. They're getting a divorce or they just got a divorce.

[Brandon Ray]

You know, it's difficult when you start dating.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I think he's remarried now too.

[Kevin]

Oh, he is?

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

That's weird. Then why is she talking about that if he has a new wife?

[Brandon Ray]

That's terrible.

[Eddie]

She was a Sports Illustrated swim swimsuit issue model or competition.

[Brandon Ray]

That's terrible.

[Eddie]

So.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

But kind of cool that everyone knows though, right? I know. It's private. I get it.

[Kevin]

I would be so irritated if another one. If I'm. If I'm married to a dude, another woman's. Even if it's ex wife is not talking on a podcast about intimate things about my now husband.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

What happens? People just get on podcasts and they think they could just, like, say whatever they want. No one's listening. Yeah, guys, we're all.

[Kevin]

They all just want to be a good guest.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

They're just saying crap, right? I need more of those guests that just say crap. It comes in so guarded. I gotta like, yeah, like, get away. There was a story about that Buffalo Bill stadium because they are moving a new stadium and they're auctioning off some of the things they were auctioning off off one of the big trough urinals that everybody stand. You stand. You just pee into it. Would you want that?

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Andy Staples]

No way.

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Kevin]

That seems disgusting. And I love memorabilia.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, that sounds gross. Did they put ice in that? Because that's always cool to me when they put ice.

[Andy Staples]

But it's so you watch it melt as you're peeing.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, but you try to melt and you do no damage. It's like, come on.

[Kevin]

I can do more than that.

[Eddie]

You start spelling your name.

[Kevin]

You had a bad weekend gambling this weekend because you were already told you couldn't gamble.

[Brandon Ray]

No, I. I didn't gamble.

[Kevin]

Oh, at all?

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Kevin]

So you are taking a break.

[Brandon Ray]

This was my first weekend of pure no gambling. Tough, man. It was tough. You're telling. I was, like, looking at G. I was watching games. I'd be like, this is the live bet right now. Indiana.

[Kevin]

Love live betting.

[Brandon Ray]

I would have lost in the. Indiana. I would have live betted.

[Kevin]

Indiana.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. I would have betted. I would have bet.

[Kevin]

Oh, the college football game.

[Brandon Ray]

I would have bet Oregon for sure. Live to come back.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

So good thing I didn't gamble on that. Some of the other ones, though, like the Bears, I would have done Money Line for sure. To win that game. The Niners to win that game. Just because I hate the Eagles.

[Eddie]

No, he's just naming off.

[Kevin]

No, he's peeling off all his Wins that he never gets. He never wins.

[Public Ad Host]

I would have done that.

[Eddie]

He's like, I had to stop because I kept losing. But if I were to. If I were to do it again.

[Andy Staples]

Here'S what I would have done.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I did rub it into my wife and be like, look, I would have hit that bet. Totally would have hit that bet. She's like, well, what do you bet? $5? Like, yeah.

[Kevin]

But still, Kevin had a few parlays that were good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. We were talking about earlier with the early exit with George Kittle. He was involved in both of them, but I won both of them. I had a Goddard and Kittle touchdown, so it just counted for the Goddard, but I won. And then like a five legger with that Niners Eagles game. McCaffrey touchdown. A couple other things.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow. Without watching the game. You bet on it?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

That's crazy.

[Kevin]

Well, he bet on it and then didn't watch the game.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I know.

[Kevin]

I just.

[Brandon Ray]

I usually don't like to bet on games I'm not watching.

[Eddie]

It was a little less stressful, actually. I felt like. Because I didn't know. And then I looked after the game and I'm like, oh, and I won. That's great.

[Kevin]

Oh, you didn't, like, watch it while you're on your date to see if you would hit?

[Eddie]

No, no. But if I'm at home watching the game, I'm also watching my ph, you know, as we all do.

[Kevin]

Did you watch Cocaine Quarterback? Awesome. He's not a quarterback.

[Eddie]

Did you watch it?

[Kevin]

No, but I. Castle played with them. They're on the team at the same.

[Brandon Ray]

Time, I think Owen Hansen, I believe is his name. He was not a quarterback. His story is crazy because. And this is the beginning of the. Of the documentary, so I'm not giving anything away, but he was a volleyball player. Like, he was a Peach. He lived by the beach in Redondo beach growing up. So he played volleyball. He got a scholarship to play for USC as a volleyball player. But his. I guess after his first year there, he didn't play at all. And his coach was like, if you don't get stronger and jump higher and, like, look bigger, you're not going to make this team next year, so you might as well just quit. So he started roiding it up, and he got so jacked that a trainer in the. In the weight room was just like, you play football, dude? He's like, I've never touched football in my life.

[Kevin]

Wait, that's how he got on the football team.

[Brandon Ray]

The trainer is like, you need to try out for the football team. He's like, dude, you don't understand. I've never touched a football in my life.

[Kevin]

And he made the team as a tight end.

[Brandon Ray]

Nah, he really didn't even play. Maybe he was a tight end listed, but he never played. He. I think he played a couple special teams plays. He's a gunner or something.

[Eddie]

He did dress out, though.

[Brandon Ray]

But he dressed, dude. He was part of the national championship team at usc, and that's the height of his life. Then he took some wrong directions, dude. And it gets crazy.

[Kevin]

Is it good? Is it good?

[Brandon Ray]

I feel like the show.

[Kevin]

Is it good? Yeah.

[Andy Staples]

Yes.

[Brandon Ray]

Overall, it's good. I feel like the first episode. There's three episodes. The first episode was kind of cheaply done. You can tell that they didn't have a lot of money, whoever was producing this. But the story is so good, it didn't really matter. The production level when season two, when episode two and three comes out, is way better.

[Kevin]

So was he selling drugs?

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I mean, everything he had doing drugs, everything. I mean, it went from like, I can get you steroids. You know, like, football team, get the steroids. Did you watch, like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, I never finished it, but I started it on it. Yeah. I just felt like it just kept dragging a little bit. That's how I felt.

[Brandon Ray]

Nah, for three episodes. I think it's perfect.

[Eddie]

I get the. I get the.

[Kevin]

Hey, instead of gambling, Eddie's watching cocaine instead of gambling. It's drugs, right?

[Brandon Ray]

Dude, it is so good. You must watch it.

[Kevin]

It. Okay, Maybe it's really good.

[Brandon Ray]

You'll like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Kevin]

Maybe. Okay. We got a game tonight. Oh, Steelers win.

[Andy Staples]

Steelers.

[Kevin]

For the sake of us having the Patriots. I don't know. Indiana looks so good, though, too college.

[Eddie]

Like, my. My sister and mom were at that game the other night in Atlanta because she went to Oregon, my sister, and they said it was like the scariest thing just being in that environment with all those Indiana fans. I mean, I've never been to. To anything like that before.

[Brandon Ray]

The Oregon section was so small.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, it's a corner of. Of the stadium.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Really far away, to be fair.

[Andy Staples]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, for sure.

[Kevin]

Other side of the country. But in Indiana just buys every ticket now. They're so pumped to exist, and they're awesome. And there were just a bunch of unfortunate plays for Oregon at the beginning they just couldn't bounce back from.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

That pick six at the beginning of the game, you're like, first play.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

But then they scored a touchdown the next Drive. So you're going. Okay, we're in the mix. We're in the mix. I say we because I bet Oregon. I bet Oregon, like plus three, I think.

[Brandon Ray]

Not enough.

[Kevin]

Not. Not near enough. And then that fumble and then it was just downhill.

[Brandon Ray]

You know what, dude? I'm starting to shift on Fernando Mendoza.

[Kevin]

Mendoza, Shift as in he's thrown more touchdowns than incompletions.

[Brandon Ray]

Nah, nah. I kind of like him more.

[Eddie]

Oh, got it.

[Andy Staples]

Yeah, he's.

[Kevin]

He's consistently, like, lovable.

[Brandon Ray]

He stopped the yelling, which is great. He stopped looking at the camera.

[Andy Staples]

You can tell.

[Brandon Ray]

He tries to not look at the camera now. Like somebody told him, like, dude, stop looking at camera. But I. I think that that's just him.

[Andy Staples]

I agree.

[Brandon Ray]

I think that that's just him. And he's a little quirky.

[Andy Staples]

I agree.

[Brandon Ray]

And I. I'm liking him more.

[Kevin]

His. He's from Miami, so they're going to go play that game. He would have gone to Miami.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. What about his little bro?

[Kevin]

I don't know what's going to happen to him because I think they signed another quarterback, didn't they? Indiana for next year.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I haven't seen that.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

I don't think his little bro is like the heir apparent.

[Eddie]

No.

[Kevin]

I think his little bro is like Giannis's brother. Like.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, you just see the last name.

[Kevin]

His two brothers now, they're on. They're on the team in Milwaukee.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh.

[Andy Staples]

They signed CU QB Josh Hoover and.

[Kevin]

They paid him much money.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And he's really good.

[Kevin]

He's really good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Good luck with that.

[Brandon Ray]

Dang, man.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I think the Mendoza was. We'll take him, too.

[Brandon Ray]

It's part of the deal. Yeah.

[Kevin]

I think Mendoza's dad played high school football with the head coach. It was crystal ball. The head coach of Miami.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, really?

[Andy Staples]

I saw that.

[Kevin]

That was crazy. So he's from Miami and his dad played. I saw Kevin's head on that camera.

[Brandon Ray]

I just glitched.

[Kevin]

The camera went down and gave you perfect bald head.

[Andy Staples]

Right.

[Kevin]

How often do you shave your head with a razor? Looks good and shiny right now.

[Eddie]

I just did it. That's why. Yeah.

[Kevin]

The reason I noticed is because the camera went right down on it.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, really?

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Andy Staples]

It's so glossy, bro.

[Eddie]

I was wondering where you're looking. I was like, I got something on my face.

[Brandon Ray]

Dude, it went right to the top of your head.

[Eddie]

I usually do it like. Like once a week, but I'll trim it with the electric. Electric? Yeah. Trimmer. A couple times a Week.

[Andy Staples]

Do you have one of those trimmers that shapes to your head? Like it's.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. It's got like six, like, prong things and it just molds. Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Six.

[Eddie]

Yeah, something like that.

[Kevin]

What do you do?

[Brandon Ray]

I have five. Five electric.

[Kevin]

Same thing. You put it on your head.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I'm a couple days without doing it.

[Andy Staples]

Three days.

[Kevin]

Do you have to do shaving cream?

[Brandon Ray]

No, not with that.

[Kevin]

No. In general.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

If you shave once a week, you do shaving cream.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Feels good, though.

[Brandon Ray]

I haven't done the razor yet.

[Kevin]

Ever.

[Eddie]

Ever.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm a little scared to do the razor on my head.

[Kevin]

Do you ever cut your head?

[Eddie]

Yeah, like a month or so ago, right before a Christmas party. For the work. Christmas party. Just bleeding out of the head.

[Brandon Ray]

Do you have a pimple?

[Eddie]

Back then I was like, oh, great. But luckily it was dark in the room, so nobody noticed.

[Kevin]

Were you speeding? Speed shaving?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to get ready and trying to. Yeah. Get things going. And then I was like, oh, crap. And then it just doesn't stop bleeding.

[Kevin]

Speed shaving gets me on my face if I'm doing that. And then.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Bleeds forever.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And you stick a little piece of tissue on it or whatever, and it just doesn't even do anything.

[Kevin]

All right, that's it. Thanks to Andy Staples. Thanks to you guys.

[Brandon Ray]

Thanks to you, man.

[Kevin]

I didn't do anything.

[Andy Staples]
