Bobby Bones
This is a podcast.
Kevin
Called 25 Whistles Talking Football and they.
Bobby Bones
All wear a whistle yet stupid but what did you expect?
Kevin
It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
25 Whistles, everybody. Walk on. We are doing a Thanksgiving show. That's right. Because we care, and we want you to be able to listen to something whenever you're tired of listening to your family. Oh, blow the whistle. Sorry.
Kevin
Just waiting, man.
Bobby Bones
Hey. My bad, my bad, my bad.
Eddie
You're good. You're good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Taking a breath in. And you were just holding it.
Kevin
I was holding it.
Bobby Bones
My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad. There's a story that. First of all, do you ever. Who yells at their television while watching games?
Kevin
Me.
Eddie
Me.
Bobby Bones
Do you yell at the television? I think I yell at the couch because it's the only thing that I. I hit.
Eddie
Do you, like, turn into the couch?
Kevin
What? Do you.
Bobby Bones
No, but I will look down and be like, oh, I look at the couch. I think you hit.
Kevin
You hit the couch.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's the only thing I really hit in my life. Unless I'm working out. Like, I'll slap the couch.
Eddie
I broke my hand punching a couch one time.
Bobby Bones
Punching a couch.
Eddie
Punching a couch. I was.
Bobby Bones
Must not have been the soft part.
Eddie
No, it was the corner of, like, the end of the couch. The wood part.
Bobby Bones
That's aggressive. Why? I was at a game.
Eddie
I was. No, mom.
Bobby Bones
Oh, your mom.
Eddie
My mom, Yeah.
Kevin
I was like, she told you not to. You can't do something.
Eddie
She told me to, like, do something. I think it was, like, clean something up. And I just got angry about. I don't know. I had anger issues as a teenager, and just. I just turned and the first thing I saw, and I punched the corner of the couch, and it happened to be the wood part, and it broke my hand. I went upstairs and act like nothing was a big deal. Went to school. Next day, couldn't close my hand, and I was like, yeah, I think I broke it. And I did.
Bobby Bones
Little hat in hand, a little humble pie.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. Learned my lesson the hard way.
Bobby Bones
Do you still have anger issues?
Eddie
No. No, I've.
Kevin
No, you just got rid of them all the time.
Bobby Bones
It's like the virus almost. Like it never really leaves.
Eddie
Well, it's called therapy. You learn how to deal with your anger is what it is. But when I was a teenager, a lot of trauma. I was like, I was mad at my parents for. At the world.
Kevin
Well, it's a safe place, man, if you wanted to let it all out.
Bobby Bones
You want to talk about something that's a holiday.
Brandon Ray
We have a soft couch over there.
Eddie
It's true. It is A holiday, family holiday.
Bobby Bones
There contest going on. The Roto Grinders Armchair Coach contest. They're looking for the loudest, most passionate football fan who thinks they can call plays better than the pros. Fans can nominate themselves or someone they know by submitting either a short video of their best coaching moments or a 300 word essay showcasing their football smarts. The selected armchair Coach won a $2,000 cash prize plus fun extras like a whistle, foam finger, a gallon of Gatorade. All they have to do is watch the game of their choice and share top reactions. Yells at the TV screen analysis. Basically getting paid to yell like they probably already do. That's so D rotogrinders.com but what's great about it is they're giving away $2,000 as a prize, yet they're going to get a ton of publicity for even the site. I've never even heard of it. It sounds like a gay app.
Kevin
Roto Grinders. Well, you know what?
Bobby Bones
Grindr.
Brandon Ray
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Is the app where dudes meet dudes.
Kevin
Grindr. What is that?
Bobby Bones
Don't act like you don't know.
Kevin
Roto is like rotisserie.
Bobby Bones
It means like football, baseball. It's rotisserie. Baseball is how all fantasy started. Yes.
Kevin
Okay. It's fantas. Every year I buy a Roto something magazine for my draft.
Bobby Bones
You do?
Kevin
Yeah, it's at the grocery store.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, hold on a second. Let me check my phone. Is it 1997?
Eddie
You know, have those still.
Bobby Bones
And it's also not up to date because they had to make it with paper, put it in a box, ship it to the store. It sits on the shelves.
Kevin
They have one that you can get about two months before draft season. Then you have an updated one they send a month before draft season. And then you have one which is like right in the middle of draft season. So you just kind of like you can buy all three and kind of see what they thought and now what they're thinking.
Bobby Bones
Why would you buy a paper magazine when you could just go online and buy, even subscribe online and get real time edits?
Kevin
I understand. And it does give you that when you buy the magazine, there's a code that you can put online and it gives you all the digital version of it.
Bobby Bones
Did you live in the past?
Kevin
No, it's not. It's not even that. I like, I read the magazine. It's tradition. It's. It costs $5.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Kevin
And when it's okay.
Bobby Bones
Fan tradition. I'm okay with fantasy season.
Kevin
Part of it's going over to the grocery store and buying the magazine.
Eddie
Why aren't you any better than you think?
Kevin
I'm not. I'm not good at fantasy, dude. I don't know. I suck at fantasy.
Eddie
But he's like, it's hard. You're good fantasy. I'm having a good year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
But Bobby's pretty good. He. He's in the playoffs every year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I think I've won it a couple of the last few years. But it's okay. Our league, though, has kind of fallen off. I think we mentioned this.
Kevin
Yeah. Our old league.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's the league we're in.
Eddie
The one that I'm. That we're all in together.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I used to run it.
Eddie
Like the commissioner is legit, dude.
Kevin
He used to run it. We used to draft in Vegas.
Bobby Bones
I do newsletters every week.
Kevin
There was a trophy.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow. I just got too busy. And so we put it over to Mike Signs.
Kevin
What were you doing?
Bobby Bones
Right. I know he does a fine job. He's a good commissioner. But I'm in another league where we've all paid a bunch more in, so it matters more.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I don't even like doing two leagues. I've said this before, but I know a couple of those guys. But it was a high dollar league and I was like, this would be fun. And so I focus on that one a little more. But I'm doing fine of both. I'm doing good at both.
Kevin
Are you in the playoffs for this? For our league?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Right now.
Kevin
I think I play you this week.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
Yep.
Eddie
Have you guys looked at.
Bobby Bones
My whole team's been hurt though.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I'm just getting by. What's up?
Eddie
I played Mike last week. He had. Who went off? Mike Gibbs. Gibbs.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Gibbs went off like 50 points. Huh.
Eddie
He still lost.
Bobby Bones
Mike still lost. Wow.
Eddie
We played week six. I look back, I won by 0.7. So the two times he's played me.
Bobby Bones
Over, they've sort of announced the Arkansas coach. So as we're recording this, it's all over people saying it. I still don't know that it's officially official, but Alex Golish, who we had on the show and who I was like, hey, dude, come to Arkansas. A lot of people are crediting me with convincing him to go look at.
Eddie
Fayetteville in the fall as they should.
Kevin
That's what you said.
Brandon Ray
Wife, man.
Bobby Bones
And if something happens and they're like, just kidding. It's not then.
Eddie
Eh.
Bobby Bones
Okay. We misspoke. I know. Here's what I have known for a while. He was the first one that was offered the job. And had he decided because he thought there was another job opening as well, he was going to decide between those two jobs. And we had a second guy lined up too.
Kevin
Who.
Bobby Bones
I won't say. Who cares? So I knew it was going to be one of the two.
Eddie
And you're okay with either?
Kevin
Both?
Bobby Bones
I'm okay with whatever. Again, I've not really associated any emotion to anything. Can't be disappointed if you don't have any sort of expectation. And I think that'll be fine. We weren't going to spend a bunch of money on a. But who even was. Except for like Lane Kiffin.
Kevin
Yeah. You didn't think you were gonna get Lane.
Bobby Bones
What are you gonna do? Hire Lincoln Riley? I'm gonna. Who's getting who? Penn State can't even figure out what they're doing.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
And all of a sudden they're like gonna scramble.
Bobby Bones
Auburn's got to figure out what they're doing. And all those coaches like the John Summeralls, the Alex Golishes, the Ryan Silverfield, the. All those American Conference guys, all like to me they're all kind of in on the same level of the shelf.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Some of them will end up being better than others, obviously. Some have had different versions of winning, but they're all kind of the same. So I'm not going to jump be like that coaching hire.
Eddie
So it's a terrible.
Bobby Bones
It's all good.
Eddie
You think there's any way Clark Lee leaves Vanderbilt? I don't because like, I mean a team like a Penn State or Florida might want him for sure because what he's done is unbelievable. But I think he loves Vandy so much.
Bobby Bones
He played there. Yeah.
Kevin
He's from here.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
I mean his home's so it's kind.
Eddie
Of perfect but you know, but it.
Bobby Bones
Is Florida or Penn State. Yeah. Penn State's last coach came from Andy, though, which is kind of weird.
Eddie
Yeah, that's true.
Bobby Bones
Jake Franklin was here when we moved here. He was a coach of Andy.
Kevin
I didn't realize that.
Bobby Bones
And they jumped up to Penn State. I don't. But I don't know. I have no insight on that. I didn't even want insight on the Arkansas stuff. Like I was getting annoyed with it.
Honey German
So.
Bobby Bones
What?
Kevin
What do you mean? Like people are just texting you stuff and you're like.
Bobby Bones
It'd be like, what do you know? And I'd be like, nothing. What do you know? So they would just tell me.
Kevin
Well, why would you ask what do you know?
Bobby Bones
Well, because then I would know what they told me.
Kevin
But you didn't want to know.
Bobby Bones
But at first I started off with nothing. It was like, what do you know? Nothing. What do you know? Well, we've heard they've contacted us. So someone else asked me, what do you know? Well, I kind of know that well. I only knew this from the first person that told me, what do you know? So now I was just sharing that information. So I'd be like, what do you know? So I'd have that plus the new what do you know? Next thing you know, I'm talking about to four or five different coaches were calling me going, hey, is your athletic director like a weirdo? Is just that I don't even know. I had multiple conversations with coaches, like asking for feedback about different things about. And I was like, I don't want to be this person.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because I don't want to be so attached. Because I don't want to like or not like the person. I'm done with that version. There was a time for a while when I was like, I want to be in. I want to be able to go and like call the coach up. Be like, I'm in town. Like Muscleman, who's now at usc, who's our basketball coach. He went to California. He's California guy. Nobody got mad at him for going back. He wanted Arkansas like him and I had a good relationship. I would go to. He'd be like, let's go to dinner. Let's go. Whatever come up. Let's. I like that. But then it got kind of weird with our old football coach Pittman. Never because it got bad, but because it wasn't going well. So therefore I'd be like, it sucks. We suck. And so they started to not like that I would was not saying nice things about the program. Also donate a bunch of money so they couldn't completely blackball me. So I was like, I don't like this feeling. So I'm just going to not get too close to the sun. That's why I don't know Cal and I don't. I donate to basketball.
Eddie
Cal would be cool.
Bobby Bones
Cal was going to call me the other day because I got a coach from his chief of staff. It's like, hey, Cal wants to give you a call and just say thanks for stuff. I said, hey, man. I mean this in the most respectful way. He doesn't have to call me. This is not a hinge. He needs to grease like, I'm in regardless. So if he Wants to call and just say, hi, I'm all good for it, but don't feel like this is like a booster who feels like it's so cool when coach calls.
Kevin
I bet he respects that. Like, I bet he got that. That message and was like, cool.
Bobby Bones
Well, he never called me, so. Yeah, I think he did.
Kevin
That never happened.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
Bobby Bones
So I'm like, I'm not. I don't want to fly too close to the sun because I don't want to get angry at people or not like somebody. And it make me like what I love the most. Less.
Eddie
Have you ever had that with an artist? You don't need to say who, obviously, but like, somebody you maybe grew up and then you kind of meet them in the industry and you're like, ah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, I can separate. I had a really bad couple years with Casey Musgraves, and she's still my favorite. And now it's not a bad couple years anymore. And I've talked about it a lot. It's, you know, 98 of that was my fault, but I did. It never affected how I felt about her music. It was still my favorite. And I think I'm kind of able to separate and the people that I really don't get along with, like, a. Personalities clash. I never really liked our music, though, either. Well, that helps. Yeah. Yeah. For the most part, I mean. But I've also, like, any human relationship, like, I've had good times and bad times with certain people. Like, friends. You go in and out and like, I don't like their music anymore or less because I'm friends with them or not friends with them.
Eddie
Okay. I just never know if you got too close because, like, you're talking about. But in the music industry that you guys are so close in, it's kind of like you can't avoid it because it's obviously you're.
Bobby Bones
I just don't feel like I'm that close in it anymore. I've separated myself from it a bunch, so I don't have. Yeah, I'm not that close on it anymore.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon Ray
Like, did you ever have a bad enough experience, though, that you. You can't even. Like, whenever the song comes on, you're like, I'm good.
Bobby Bones
There are people that I feel that way about where I'm. But I. I don't. I can separate art from artist. It's why every night I go home. I mean, I. I go 30 minutes every night of R. Kelly.
Kevin
Yeah. Good man. Because you separate the art from the art.
Bobby Bones
Like, I love the music.
Kevin
Absolutely.
Brandon Ray
Himself. Like, it's on all the time.
Bobby Bones
Well, Saturdays I play the old Cosby Records.
Eddie
It's great. Nice.
Kevin
But you can't watch the TV shows because the looking at them is different.
Eddie
They're not on here.
Bobby Bones
No, that's Dr. Clef Huxtable.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So that's not.
Kevin
That's harder, dude.
Brandon Ray
By the way, he was a gynecologist. Like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it is. Everybody. I'm kidding about that.
Kevin
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Everybody. I don't listen to R. Kelly. I don't watch. Yeah, we clip it.
Eddie
We clip it.
Bobby Bones
We clip it ourselves to get me in trouble.
Kevin
But, yeah, I think it's easy, Kevin, to separate the art from the artists.
Eddie
Like, well, you're a small talk guy, though.
Kevin
What is that? What?
Eddie
Well, I'm just saying, like, you can have a small. Like, if. If you don't necessarily like an artist, but you grew up liking his music or you've liked his music in the past.
Bobby Bones
You.
Eddie
I feel like you're good at being like, you know, you can still talk to him, have that small talk, whatever, and then just kind of go about your way.
Kevin
Yeah, but there was a time when. And Bobby, you can probably talk on this, but, like, there was a time when, like, it was cool to meet someone, like, oh, I really want to meet them. And then once you get to know them a little bit, you change. You change your. Your. Your theory on that. You're just like, I'm good.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin
Never seen them again.
Eddie
But then I kind of like. Because we've had people interviewing the ex athletes on the show where it's like, dang, I kind of wish I didn't know that their personality was like that. I'd rather just know my. As, like, this iconic player, you know.
Bobby Bones
I don't really have a lot of bad stories because most of the time when I interview people, they come in in their best and they're being their best.
Kevin
Yeah, that's true. When people ask you, like, hey, how is this?
Bobby Bones
Most of the time it's great. Like, I don't have a whole list of that. I have, like, personal stories that have happened and. But I think even Eddie has a buffer because I don't think Eddie's in as much as I am.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
Where he gets to, like, be friendly with everybody because they come in here for the most part, and I'm small.
Kevin
Talk guy, and he's also just a nicer guy.
Eddie
I'm not saying that is a bad thing.
Kevin
I do like small talk.
Eddie
I know that's a good thing I do.
Bobby Bones

Okay, so hall of fame nominees. We're at the semifinalist now, the NFL hall of fame.
Kevin
I see Whitten on there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there are three quarterbacks. Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers. So what's going to happen though? They're going to take these 26 down to 15 finalists, and then the 15 finalists go to five or six.
Eddie
It's between four and eight every year.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so it does change.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
And this is just the first year that these guys are eligible, right?
Bobby Bones
Not all are the first year.
Eddie
Not all of them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, some of them are up again. Okay. But some of them, it is their first year. Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers. I wonder how many we would say. Let's see. Let me do my list. So there are 15 finalists. So I'm going to go. I'm not even going to do hall of Fame. I'm just. See if I pick out 15. Just before I even look at the whole list. Drew Brees. Yes. Finalist. Eli Manning. Yes. Finalist. I'll come back to Philip Rivers. Frank Gore. Fred Taylor. I'm going to put Frank Gore as a finalist. I'm not saying hall of Fame. And I'm at eight. My eight max. Right.
Eddie
Yeah. To make it.
Bobby Bones
Not doing that. This is just 15 finalists.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Frank Gore in Larry Fitzgerald, for sure. In Terry Holt. Tory Holt. Excuse me. Not going to put him there. I think Tory Holt's somebody, though, who's. It's not his first year, obviously, being up for it. Steve Smith, man, Steve Smith was awesome. He just played on those Panthers teams.
Eddie
He was so good.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna put Steve Smith in the final. Heinz Ward.
Kevin
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
Reggie Wayne. I'm gonna put Reggie Wayne in the final. Jason Whitten. I'm putting him in the final.
Kevin
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
Offensive line, now, this is tough because what the crap do I know about offensive lineman?
Kevin
Yeah, you might.
Odoo Advertiser
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
There's a couple like Willie Anderson. I recognize the name only, and that's only because I know Willie Rofe. And it's just a Willie.
Eddie
There's a Will Anderson on the Texans.
Bobby Bones
Steve Wisnewski. I don't know these people, and I'm sure they're all awesome. It's unfair for me to go yes or no on them, so I'm gonna put none in and I'm gonna see where I end up. I'm not smart enough. I do not have the intelligence, the capability to accurately judge these guys. Defensive back Rodney Harrison, now Patriot for sure, but Rodney Harrison, to me.
Kevin
Steeler.
Bobby Bones
No, Patriot.
Kevin
Right?
Eddie
Yeah. But Chargers, Charger.
Kevin
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But Patriot, like.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, he's known as a Patriot. Yes, yes.
Bobby Bones
No, he's on as a TV guy now.
Brandon Ray
Right.
Bobby Bones
And now my association with him is just on TV all the time.
Eddie
And he's known as a guy that let David Tyree catch that pass.
Bobby Bones
But that. But that. That was such a hard catch.
Eddie
I know. I'm not blaming him. I'm just saying.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to say my affiliation with Rodney Harrison has become so much television that I've kind of lost his impact as a defensive football player.
Eddie
Do you like him on TV or no?
Bobby Bones
I do like him.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I got to check out of that one. I Can't put him as a finalist. I just know his TV stuff.
Eddie
Dang.
Brandon Ray
It's understandable.
Bobby Bones
Earl Thomas in. Darren Woodson, the Cowboy in.
Eddie
Not ahead of Ryan.
Kevin
Are you putting them in?
Bobby Bones
I'm not gonna put the 15 yet. I'm gonna see where I am at.
Eddie
The end of this.
Kevin
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Luke Keakley in. And if the guy played six or seven more years, put him in the first year he retires. Break the rule.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Kobe, him. Although he didn't die. Yeah. It's true.
Eddie
Facts.
Bobby Bones
Luke Keakley, Terrell Suggs in. Robert Mathis. He played linebacker and defensive line, right?
Eddie
Yeah. He was the. The pass rush specialist for the. The Colts.
Bobby Bones
Is that what they called him?
Eddie
Well, that's what he's known for, sacks. But I feel like him and Freeney.
Bobby Bones
Played off the ball and on the.
Eddie
No, he's mostly on. But I think he would like. It just depends on the whole team.
Bobby Bones
Never listed as a linebacker. Would you look?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Vince Wilfork. I'm gonna go. Yep.
Eddie
Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Venatori.
Eddie
Yep.
Kevin
Wow. Patriots guys.
Bobby Bones
Well, dude, they won. These guys going in now are the ones that won all those freaking.
Kevin
It makes sense.
Bobby Bones
Because Robert Mathis is listed as a defensive lineman for sure, but I just feel like he played.
Eddie
I mean, he. Yeah, they might have like.
Bobby Bones
Like, stood him up a little bit.
Eddie
He was listed as a linebacker.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
An outside. I think it just depends on the defense they were running.
Bobby Bones
Like, I'll argue that, but I can't name a single lineman.
Eddie
I'm like, Marshall Yonder. He was good for the Ravens. I just remember because his name, too.
Bobby Bones
I bet they were all awesome.
Eddie
Yeah, that's true.
Bobby Bones
Okay, here's who I have. Drew Brees, eli Manning. That's 2. Frank Gore, 3. Larry Fitzgerald, 4. Steve Smith, 5. Reggie Wayne, 6. Jason Whitten, 7. Earl Thomas, 8. Luke Keakley, 9. Terrell Suggs, 10. Vince Wilfork, 11. Adam Venateri, 12. So I've got three. And then. So I'm just gonna close my eyes and pick three linemen.
Kevin
No, no, no, no. Get Woodson in there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. The hall of Fame 50 member selection committee will vote. So let's say who for sure gets in? Drew Brees for sure gets it for sure. It's not Eli Manning's first year up, though. I believe last year was his first year. If I'm not crazy. But some would say I'm crazy.
Kevin
I mean, he's going in for sure, right? Two Super Bowls need to be now.
Bobby Bones
Well, he didn't go in first year. If I'm right, I could be wrong. Was Eli Manning up last year?
Eddie
Eli Manning's first year. 2025.
Bobby Bones
So last year or this year?
Kevin
That'd be this year.
Bobby Bones
Well, 2020. No, this is 2026. Hall of Fame semifinals.
Eddie
Oh, gosh, now I'm confused.
Brandon Ray
No, it's not Eli Manning's first year.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Yet I've never heard of any of the offensive linemen. I'm Rain Manning, you guys on some of this stuff. But I'm like, no. Lomas Brown. Never heard of them.
Brandon Ray
Definitely. Definitely Manning.
Bobby Bones
I think Eli Manning can make it this year. Let's see, though, because I'm going to say if we do eight, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Larry Fitzgerald is a for sure in.
Kevin
Yes.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Let's do our first for sure for sure. Because Vinatieri didn't get in last year.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
He was one that was up and didn't get in. Like, Luke Kikley has been retired. He's probably been up sometimes the second year. Okay, here's who for sure should get in. Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Suggs. Or is he hall of Very Good?
Eddie
I think hall of Very good.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Obviously Keecley didn't make it his first year, so he can't be a guaranteed. What about Vince Wilfork?
Eddie
Now, you might call a little biased, but I'd say yes. He was the best defensive tackle for like 10 years.
Kevin
That's good.
Bobby Bones
First year up.
Eddie
Yeah, I believe.
Bobby Bones
No, no, thanks, Brandon.
Eddie
I'm just gonna say yes.
Brandon Ray
2022.
Eddie
Oh.
Kevin
Oh, gosh. He's been around for a bit then.
Bobby Bones
Okay, then I'm just.
Eddie
He deserves it.
Bobby Bones
The only ones that need to for sure get in are Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald. That's all that for sure should get in.
Brandon Ray
Wow.
Eddie
Because there's gore.
Bobby Bones
There's no. His. His longevity for.
Kevin
He was a beast.
Eddie
And third and time rushing.
Bobby Bones
Longevity. Yeah, for sure. Like, that was the crazy thing about him. He was really good, but for a long, long, long, long time. I don't think he was ever like a top two back, though, do you?
Eddie
No, I don't.
Bobby Bones
But he was a top eight back for 113 years. Like him and Joe Namath in 69 playing the game.
Eddie
Oh, my God, that was crazy.
Kevin
Biggest upset of all time, Johnny Unitis.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. All right. I just can't guarantee somebody's going to get in if they've already been up and didn't get in. So I guess my only two are going to be Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald.
Eddie
Reggie Wayne. That's.
Bobby Bones
I'm borderline.
Eddie
That's right there, too, because he was probably top, what, three receiver for a.
Bobby Bones
Couple years, but it can't be his first year.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon Ray
And if it's six year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If it's not your first year. It's not. I can't guarantee. Because you've missed it so many times.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
All right. That was a stupid conversation. Moving on.
Kevin
Cool.
Brandon Ray
Hey, by the way, I really like your hat.
Bobby Bones
This is. Thanks for commenting on it. This. I wear this when I want to keep pounding.
Kevin
I didn't see it at first. Yeah, man. Oh, it's camo.
Bobby Bones
Camo. But it does have a panther logo on it. This is actually a Luke Combs Carolina Panther collab.
Kevin
Oh, that makes sense.
Bobby Bones
It is. Yeah. Yeah. Keep cool, man. Thanks, man.
Kevin
What'd you think about that game?
Bobby Bones
Didn't like it.
Kevin
No. It wasn't a good game.
Bobby Bones
Breaking 49ers. This is a week later, but a few days later before I actually. Three interceptions and still at the first half.
Eddie
Crazy, man.
Bobby Bones
Won the game. Yeah.
Eddie
And got punched in the nuts, dude.
Bobby Bones
I would. I would have.
Eddie
That's worse than spitting.
Brandon Ray
Crazy.
Kevin
Oh, was that the fight at the end?
Bobby Bones
Like this, like, physically hurt. It hurts worse. But I don't know if it's more disrespectful because a purposeful spit is done with full intention. A punch in the nuts. Not this one, but any punch in that's can accidentally can be accidental. A punch in the nuts, like a tackle. Like, you can actually go to like, let's say knock out a ball and you can hit somebody in the nuts. You're not going to spit in somebody's freaking face on, like, you're not in mid tackle. And while you tackle, you accidentally go.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You can get a little dribble on them. I think this.
Eddie
A little drool.
Kevin
The pee dribble.
Bobby Bones
No, like when they're tackling their spit. Bouncing around in there.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. They both suck.
Eddie
But an intentional.
Kevin
I know.
Bobby Bones
That was so intentional.
Kevin
That was so worse than a spit. Right.
Bobby Bones
It hurts more, but I don't think it's more disrespectful than a spit. I think spitting on someone is the absolute most. You are such garbage to me thing you could possibly do. Because it doesn't hurt. It is just the message.
Kevin
It's gross.
Odoo Advertiser
Right.
Kevin
But I mean, if.
Bobby Bones
How often part of the nut punch isn't supposed to hurt.
Eddie
That's your manhood.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah, dude. And everyone knows how bad that hurts.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
So if I'm going to even think.
Bobby Bones
About punching you that in the bottom of piles. Even for somebody you don't even hate. Hate like if there's a fumble, people are grabbing nuts, twisting, just trying to do anything to get an advantage.
Eddie
Yeah but a full on uppercut was crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it sucked. Yeah. Chauncey Billis pleads not guilty. Well, yeah, you got to.
Kevin
You got to.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you got to. The Thanksgiving Day games, which this is coming out Thanksgiving Day, so maybe. Where are we watching this stuff? Netflix.
Kevin
Oh, they're not on regular tv.
Bobby Bones
Is it Netflix? Does Netflix.
Eddie
I think Christmas has the Black Friday game.
Kevin
See, okay.
Bobby Bones
When they start doing this and putting games all days. I don't even know.
Kevin
No, I think Thursday's the regular networks.
Bobby Bones
Tubi will be streaming the Thanksgiving Day game. That's one of Mike's favorite places to watch anything. I love to be. It's underrated. He likes that in crunchy green. Crunchyroll. What is it called?
Odoo Advertiser
Crunchyroll.
Bobby Bones
Crunchyroll.
Eddie
That's. That's some good sushi there.
Kevin
Yeah, I do like that one.
Bobby Bones
Tubi will be streaming the Thanksgiving Day game between the packers and Detroit Lions and the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Kevin
Wow.
Eddie
Yeah. The Fox and CBS for the first two games and then the night game is NBC Peacock.
Kevin
So what's the point of to be streaming like so if you're not in front of a tv you can just get the Tubi app and watch on your phone somewhere maybe.
Bobby Bones
What was your answer to that, Mike?
Kevin
I mean.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, trying to get more people to go to Tubi. You're there watching the game and then hey, this movie from the 90s I haven't seen in five years, right? Check it out.
Kevin
The Lost Boys. Lethal Weapon.
Bobby Bones
Lethal Weapon two song. I can watch that after the game. Any movie that I like. I haven't seen that movie in a long, long time to be probably has it.
Kevin
You know what Point Break came out on one of those the other day.
Bobby Bones
That was such a good movie. We were young, dude.
Kevin
So good. I watched the whole thing.
Bobby Bones
You know that movie?
Eddie
Oh yeah.
Bobby Bones
Keanu Reeves. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Still holds up for you guys. Or no, I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I haven't watched it in a hold up time. I just remember it being awesome.
Kevin
I'm telling you guys, it was like a week ago and I just like turned on my TV and it was playing. I'm like, oh, I gotta watch it is good.
Eddie
It's really good.
Bobby Bones
Do you watch Steven Wilson Jr. Yeah. At the Ryman.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I'm at the Ryman, I saw his big background. It looks like a praying.
Eddie
Yeah, like Mother Mary. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Whatever. All you guys are saying that's what it was.
Kevin
But is it the hands or the lady or.
Bobby Bones
It's the lady with the hands.
Kevin
Oh, yeah, she's the virgin.
Bobby Bones
But who. But what's the name.
Brandon Ray
That.
Eddie
Just like we said.
Bobby Bones
So I saw that and thought, oh, that's cool. Then I saw some like tick tocks from it. What'd you think of the show?
Eddie
Yeah, I thought it was great. He also has like a boxing ring set up because he was a boxer when he was a kid, I guess, growing up. So it's like a boxing ring. And he even has a guy like dressed up as an announcer or a judge. He's in like a white shirt with a bow tie and he lets people in the ring, like to bring him his guitars and like guests.
Bobby Bones
He plays in the ring.
Eddie
In the ring?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Brandon Ray
That's cool.
Eddie
It's not fully closed off like the open or is in the front, but he. It's all surrounded him. And his band was awesome. He was great. I mean, I don't know much of his music, but I know a few of his songs. But just talent wise, he was stupid good.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Eddie
Yeah, like really good. And his guitar playing is insane. He confused me with some stuff, but.
Bobby Bones
I'm not so snob at music that I can just go to a show and enjoy anybody if they're good. I need them to blow me away or I need to know the songs.
Kevin
Mm. Have you ever just gone to a show where you didn't know who was playing and then fall in love with that band or that artist?
Bobby Bones
I've seen a couple openers that were like, really awesome, but I. I am not the person that can just go and enjoy a concert of songs. I don't know. I need to know the songs. Unless it's like, holy crap, this is. And I would need to even think, because I know there have been a couple instances, but none come to mind right now. But any music questions you have, you should. You should ask Brandon because Brandon is like one of the best musicians I know. So.
Eddie
Yeah. Can I ask you a few questions?
Brandon Ray
Sure.
Eddie
Okay. And this is. This is coming from, like, obviously I don't know music the way that you guys do. Like, the ins and outs of it.
Bobby Bones
By the way, Eddie and I are not on the same level as Brandon.
Eddie
You're not?
Kevin
No. Well, Bobby and I are not on the same level.
Bobby Bones
That's what I'm saying.
Kevin
Yeah. What were you going to say no?
Bobby Bones
Like.
Kevin
Like, Bob Bobby's the lowest level, then me, then Brandon.
Bobby Bones
Why did you have to bring that in?
Kevin
I know he wants to tear his questions. Maybe he has an elementary question if.
Bobby Bones
We'Re doing the, like, performance rankings.
Eddie
Like, stage presence.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
Just like, oh, I'm number one. Sure, I'm number one.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Any sort of questions about music tech stuff, ask Brandon.
Eddie
Okay. Yeah. Like, I don't know if these are dumb questions or not, but he's up there. He has an old guitar that he bought for, like, 400 bucks. He talks about off Facebook Marketplace, I believe, but it's an acoustic guitar.
Bobby Bones
A what?
Eddie
An acoustic.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So it's only because you've seen it and you haven't heard it, so we're not gonna judge you. That's not how it's said, though.
Kevin
It's funny, though.
Eddie
Okay. See? Okay. But when I cracked him, it does.
Bobby Bones
Look like it would be acoustic. It's called an acoustic.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Kevin
Oh, you.
Eddie
Is like a. Ooh.
Brandon Ray
Acoustic.
Bobby Bones
Acoustic. Yeah.
Eddie
I've said acoustic my entire life. Nobody's ever corrected me.
Bobby Bones
You're a big guy with tattoos throwing that out there.
Eddie
Take that as a compliment.
Kevin
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Okay. He has an acoustic guitar, and. But when he was playing it, like, it sounded like a electric guitar.
Brandon Ray
Oh, yeah. So it's a. It's a classical guitar. It's got nylon strings.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon Ray
And he. He's got pedals that he plugs into to give him, like, delay and overdrive and all that kind of stuff. So he's. He's trying to bridge the gap of. I've heard him say this. I'm trying to bridge.
Eddie
Oh, you should have just went with it. You shouldn't have. Yeah. Oh, no, keep going.
Brandon Ray
He's huge. Like, Kurt Cobain.
Kevin
Nirvana.
Eddie
He covered Nirvana one song.
Kevin
Yep.
Brandon Ray
And so really wants to bring that he. That classical nylon. Willie Nelson plays the same kind of guitar, and he wants to bring in that 90s grunge together with country.
Bobby Bones
So his pedals, like, the technology he's using is making that acoustic sound a little more grungy.
Eddie
Okay. But if he just unplugs everything, then it does. It sounds like a Nelson.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Brandon Ray
I don't want to accuse you.
Bobby Bones
Accuse. Accuse you. He didn't want to accuse you.
Kevin
Okay.
Eddie
And another question had to do with the pedals, because he had them all over the stage. Usually I see him, like, right where the mic is, but he had him off to the left and the right because he was running around. He'd Press it and then run to the other side just to keep playing. Press another one. And what. So that's what it is. It just makes it sound different.
Bobby Bones
So.
Brandon Ray
Yeah, so if. If you're going into, say, like, a chorus from a verse, you gotta kick in, like, a distortion or an overdrive, or if a delay is going somewhere.
Bobby Bones
You're saying words, though, that I don't. I'm so sorry.
Eddie
Like, like, so sorry. Overdrive.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, overdrive.
Brandon Ray
My bad. So overdrive kind of elevates the sound of the. Of the guitar. It gives it a different effect. Like, you know, you have. You hear a clean sound of guitar, and then you hear, like, a distorted, like, over modulation.
Bobby Bones
How we do our stuff. Yeah, a version of that, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, something sounds a bit.
Brandon Ray
And if something's, like, delayed. Like, he has a lot of delay stuff in, like.
Eddie
Yeah. You know, I was gonna say he's got a lot of, like, the reverb zone doing. Yeah.
Brandon Ray
He wanted to probably either elevate that effect or just take it completely out because it's a different part of the song.
Eddie
Okay. So that's. Is that like, its own? Because it sounded different. Like, his music, his style just sounded different. I enjoyed it. I thought the reverb. I thought the echo was great. But is that, like, its own? I don't. Not genre, but you know what I mean? Like, style.
Brandon Ray
I guess I would say so. I mean, I don't see a lot of country artists doing that, you know, especially, like, in their recordings and live. Like, you don't see Riley Green up there with a bunch of pedals.
Eddie
No, like, he's really.
Brandon Ray
He's just acoustic and acoustic, but he. He's trying to really, like. I think Stephen Wilson Jr. Was in a lot of rock bands and stuff like that. He. His wife is actually the lead singer of Sixpence, none the Richer.
Eddie
Or Kiss Me. That one. Yeah, he brought her out when I was there.
Bobby Bones
Lee Nash?
Kevin
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
That's his wife.
Kevin
What blew me away. Crazy.
Brandon Ray
That's crazy.
Eddie
Yeah, she sang with him that night.
Kevin
She's been in here.
Eddie
Dude.
Bobby Bones
That's the most shocking thing I've heard in days. Right? And I've heard some pretty shocking stuff, especially about the Arkansas Coaching series.
Brandon Ray
Dude, the acoustics in here are great.
Kevin
They are.
Bobby Bones
You love the show.
Eddie
Oh, it was awesome. And to your point, like, I didn't know much of his music, and I'm kind of the same way. I don't know. But it was just a great show. My mom wanted to go. She's in town.
Bobby Bones
Did she like him?
Eddie
And she was watching CMA's watch him perform and she texted me. She's like, hey, he's playing at the rhyme and like do you want to go?
Bobby Bones
I was like, yeah, sure.
Odoo Advertiser
Very cool.
Eddie
She loved it. She's a big music junkie.
Kevin
Her mom's favorite band is the Foo Fighters.
Eddie
His? My mom?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, her mom.
Kevin
His mom.
Brandon Ray
Her mom.
Kevin
Did I say her mom?
Eddie
Yeah, you did.

Yeah. Win dub. Guys, this is it. I mean, everything changed when they beat the Eagles. Everything changed. We're brand new. This is a legit shot to make the playoffs. We have to win. We have to be pulled.
Bobby Bones
The cowboy schedule Please.
Kevin
Even if we lose to the. Today, to the Chiefs, Right?
Bobby Bones
Today, Today.
Kevin
Even if we leave today, we lose the game today, I still think our schedule is easy enough to win at least four more games. And if we win four more games, if the Lions start losing a little bit, if the 49ers can lose a little bit, we're in it, baby.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You're doing some ifs, though.
Kevin
I know. There's a lot. A lot of moving parts.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so let's walk through it. Go Chiefs.
Eddie
Chiefs.
Bobby Bones
I'm just going to do what I think.
Eddie
Loss at the Lions.
Kevin
That's a win. But that's a win. Have you seen the Lions lately?
Bobby Bones
Okay, you know what? Win.
Kevin
Put it as a win.
Eddie
Vikings at home.
Kevin
That's a win.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm not talking to you. I'm doing it.
Kevin
Okay, Sorry, sorry.
Bobby Bones
You're going to do all wins.
Eddie
Go ahead.
Kevin
No, I'm not.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm not. But no, no, you're all. You're out. Go.
Eddie
Chargers at home.
Kevin
Don't be stupid. You know the answer.
Bobby Bones
I can't even play the game.
Eddie
When at Washington, when.
Bobby Bones
At the Giants, when.
Eddie
That's it.
Kevin
You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying?
Bobby Bones
I think they'll probably drop one of those games, though, between the Chargers and the Lions, the. Possibly even both. But I do think that they could win a bunch of these games.
Brandon Ray
Yeah, they can't. The problem is, though, when they get in the. In the playoffs, who cares?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Just get there.
Kevin
Just get to the playoffs. I know, because before this game, we were looking at. We're not even making the playoffs, so. And we made moves. We changed our defense up. We are making moves. This is amazing, dude.
Bobby Bones
So nine and eight, that's always a strong possibility. You can get in. But we saw the Bengals last year not get in at nine and eight.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
But nine, seven and one.
Kevin
That one, baby. That tied. Oh, I think we need the packers to kind of take a dump, too.
Bobby Bones
You need that because you. Dude, you're gonna end up costing us so much money in our.
Kevin
Don't start. Don't.
Eddie
Yeah, we're down.
Kevin
Don't start. Because I'm not the only one anymore. Now Baker's kind of hurting us a little bit. What do you got to say about that?
Bobby Bones
That wasn't our second round pick.
Eddie
Yeah. And it wasn't between them. And I don't.
Bobby Bones
Anybody.
Eddie
Anybody.
Kevin
And I. I understand, but, you know, like, the owners of the Bengals, they didn't expect this to happen.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. I Know, But I was just like, hey, let's go with the Packers. And you're like, no, Bengals.
Kevin
I had a feeling.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And they still could win a bunch of games. Burrow's gonna come back and play.
Kevin
Yeah, he's back, baby.
Eddie
Today, Tonight.
Bobby Bones
No. Or Black Friday.
Eddie
No. Bears and Eagles.
Bobby Bones
Black Friday to me. Tubi.
Kevin
Wait, there are three games today?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there are three games.
Kevin
No way.
Eddie
I didn't know that like that for a while.
Bobby Bones
Depending on when people are listening, there's already one on. Okay, so we back, baby.
Kevin
We're back, baby.
Bobby Bones
Official statement from the Dallas Cowboys.
Kevin
How shocked were you when they won that game?
Bobby Bones
Game.
Kevin
Did you want money? Right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I won a lot because while we were down recording at my house during the game, I put 100 bucks on the money line when it was like, plus 500.
Brandon Ray
Oh, nice.
Bobby Bones
I only did it in solidarity with Eddie. And they were only down one touchdown. They were down a touchdown. The Eagles had the ball. Dude, when we went back to the house and the Eagles fumbled that pump, that punt, I was like, ball game. And the Cowboys couldn't score.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then I was ball game back.
Kevin
We lose.
Bobby Bones
Dude, Pickens is so good.
Kevin
So good. So good. Which is another thing, too. Like, my kids are doing their. Their Christmas list. They all want George Pickens jerseys, which. Awesome, right? But I don't even know he's gonna be a Cowboy.
Bobby Bones
True. They could franchise tag him.
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
They could just pay him. I doubt they let him go free agent. I think they probably franchise.
Eddie
Yeah, you have to tag them.
Bobby Bones
So also with Pickens, I think what helps is there's a wide receiver that's slightly better than him that plays on the other side of him, which keeps everybody from double teaming him. It's like a pass rusher who has somebody on the other side. Like, there's a reason a lot of those guys, other than Miles Garrett, but also Miles Garrett has a little help now, too, on the. On the Cleveland defensive line.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
30 lines. Pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If you have another great pass rusher, it's hard for them to double you all game. So it does open it up to get a lot of sacks. Same with these wide receivers. If you've got two really good wide receivers, that number two guy eats because they're doubling up. Cd. But now they're having to, like, decide they're having to roll coverages and double up one or the other before Dallas even figures out who's getting doubled. Because those receivers are so good. If you're George Pickens, man, you just made A lot of money. If you were in Pittsburgh, you're just a crazy guy who's going to continue to be high potential, high ceiling guy that never made it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Probably were not worth the problems you cause in Dallas. One, there's enough problems. You're not the only problem in town.
Kevin
There's a lot of problems.
Bobby Bones
Yep. Up and then two. CD Lamb lines up across from you, and he's awesome. Although he did drop a big ball.
Kevin
Dropping balls.
Bobby Bones
Dude, don't get me started. We've already done this.
Eddie
Well, this is last year.
Bobby Bones
This is last year when I was like, CD Lamb does not have great hands.
Kevin
Yeah, but he has great hands.
Bobby Bones
He's a great wide receiver. He's a great receiver.
Eddie
Balls.
Kevin
Like out of nowhere.
Bobby Bones
Pickens has a great hands.
Eddie
Him and Rogers would have been fun in Pittsburgh, though.
Bobby Bones
Rogers is fun. You mean playing together yelling. Yeah.
Eddie
Just yelling at each other.
Bobby Bones
And Roger sucks. Yeah. Yeah. He's gonna play with his hurt wrist.
Kevin
He is.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
It's broken.
Eddie
Right. Then complain about it when he loses.
Bobby Bones
It's like fractured.
Kevin
Okay.
Brandon Ray
He'll blame his other receiver.
Bobby Bones
He has ruined his legacy.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
He's been bad so long now that there's going to be a generation of football fans that only remember bad Aaron Rodgers.
Kevin
That's a good point because I think.
Bobby Bones
You can play bad for a couple years and that's fine. Like Brett Favre, he was actually pretty good with Jets. He was actually pretty. He had. But he wasn't the same. But you can have a couple bad years in your latter years and be fine, because we remember all the good years. If you keep playing for another five to seven years and you suck in all those five to seven years, young people are just gonna remember all the suck. They're not gonna remember any of the good.
Kevin
No. I'm telling you, my kids, like, the other day, they were asking, like, why does this guy still play? Like, well, what is. Why is he. Is he good or something? Because I don't get it.
Brandon Ray
There you go.
Bobby Bones
I never got to see him be awesome.
Kevin
Yeah, he was. I was like, he was good at one time, guys. Really good.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Kevin
Tom Brady's the one that did it, right? Man. Like, he will just. Not only did he just keep playing, he won a Super bowl with another.
Bobby Bones
Well, he did it right is he went to a team that was. That was loaded enough to win a Super Bowl.
Kevin
Yeah, but no one's even going to think about that.
Bobby Bones
No, no, that's true. But I'm saying Aaron Rodgers didn't do that. He didn't. And also he. He played one play.
Eddie
Yeah, that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
The injury just ruined everything.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But also he didn't play well as last year in Green Bay either because he had a wrist issue.
Eddie
Oh, that's right.
Brandon Ray
Yeah.
Odoo Advertiser
Yeah.
Eddie
And then he did the dramatic walk off.
Bobby Bones
Tom Brady did the smart thing because I don't think Tom. I think Tom Brady was a, you know, he was a soft shell of his former self. But you go somewhere with what Bruce Arians was the coach, the offensive line was good. He had weapons. Like he went somewhere. He did pretty much what Peyton Manning did.
Kevin
I think Tom Brady was the coach of that team. They would go to the sideline and sometimes you'd see Aaron just be like, whatever you want, dude. Like.
Bobby Bones
Like Peyton Manning went to Denver and Denver was loaded.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon Ray
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And won his Super Bowls more over there.
Eddie
Yeah, Won a Super bowl there. And that last year was brutal for him physically. Remember he couldn't throw 15 yards, couldn't.
Bobby Bones
Move his friggin head, his neck was so bad.
Eddie
But he had some dudes around him.
Bobby Bones
Remember when his wife. The story was his wife was getting all of the hgh.
Eddie
Oh, vaguely. It was like to her, Right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Shipped.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
What's hgh?
Bobby Bones
Performance enhanced human growth hormone. Yeah. Yeah. Mike, would you mind googling that? So I don't go to Peyton Manning jail.
Kevin
Sounds like a nice jail.
Bobby Bones
Because they never actually found him guilty, but I think she was getting a lot of it and it was like, let's.
Eddie
Yeah. And he was like supposedly using it connect.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, who knows? But I would. I would be.
Odoo Advertiser
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I had to shoot. I've hurt myself up. Hurt myself a couple times. I've had to shoot myself up with stuff like.
Eddie
Do you actually do it yourself? The shot and everything? Oh, I can't do that.
Bobby Bones
You can because you. You pinch your stomach that, like that little. Because where we get our fat first you pinch your stomach. You don't really feel it there. Or you can do your butt. But I've had a couple, like, injuries where I was prescribed like peptides, some more HGH type stuff just to get back to normal. Mike, do you see anything? Yeah, no credible evidence was found. Exactly.
Brandon Ray
Of course.
Bobby Bones
For what, though? That they were sending his wife, Ashley Manning, this hgh man.
Kevin
I don't think my wife would do that for me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you do. If that's your career and your life and your livelihood for sure.
Kevin
Okay. What would be comparable to what we do? Oh, somebody else's voice.
Bobby Bones
Nothing. Because you don't make the money or have the kind of success or the hall of fame career.
Kevin
I know, but my family depends on me. So, like, what would she. What would she get shipped to her house that would help me in my work? A recording of somebody else's voice. You know, like, I would actually still.
Bobby Bones
Think you would be able to, like, edit.
Kevin
Okay.
Eddie
Like videoing, like a software or something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, me too. I don't think you're known for your voice.
Kevin
I just don't think. Think my wife would do that, but I guess she would.
Bobby Bones
You're a pastor. Got a hole in one at church.
Kevin
So freaking annoying. Like, he gets up there at church, and I'm never mad at church. I love church.
Bobby Bones
I'm never mad at church.
Brandon Ray
Never, dude, because you're gambling the whole time.
Kevin
No, no, no. I gamble before I get to church.
Brandon Ray
Oh, that's true.
Kevin
I get to church and, like, I'm in a good mood. We've already said hi to everyone. We're drinking our coffee and pastor comes up there. He's like. Starts talking about how he just started playing golf. And I'm like, oh, that's cool. We started playing six months ago. He was out with some friends and it was up time for him to hit. So he gets a, you know, a little eight iron. He's like, it's not good. It's not a great shot. It kind of like to the right of the green, but then it starts kind of looping back around. It keeps rolling and rolling. Next thing you know, I get a hole in one. And then he flashes up a picture of him and the ball. And I'm like, did he just say he's been playing for six months and he got a hole in one? Dude, immediately, I was pissed, dude, immediately for the sermon.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you think so? Just for a fact.
Eddie
He just.
Brandon Ray
He didn't have anything to talk about.
Eddie
He's like, I know what I'm.
Bobby Bones
What can I say today?
Kevin
Yeah. I'm never like, I get happy for people to get hole in ones. If I'm with you, dude, and you get a hole in one, I'm like, let's go. The fact that this dude's been playing for six months and gets a hole in one, I was pissed.
Brandon Ray
Did you walk out?
Bobby Bones
Was it Also had you lost some bets earlier?
Kevin
Before now it's too early. The games hadn't started yet.
Bobby Bones
Because I get in moods too. I'll fight people on Twitter. It's not even their fault. Like, I wonder if you're mad at your. If Arkansas loses I'm like, I'm ready to fight.
Kevin
It's starting to be a thing where my kids are like, if I'm in a bad mood, like, oh, Dad's bets aren't going well.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Kevin
Like, no, that's not it, guys. It's not it.
Bobby Bones
They're gonna say that crap in therapy when they get older.
Kevin
It's the fact that you can't turn off the lights when you're out of the bathroom.
Bobby Bones
We knew we had to walk on eggshells when Dad's bets weren't going well.
Brandon Ray
His parlay didn't hitch.
Bobby Bones
Do we, Mike? Do we have to do a parlay? We don't have to.
Eddie
Cool.
Kevin
Take the week off. Take the week off so we can just enjoy some football.
Brandon Ray
This is good for us, guys. Let's do it.
Eddie
Let's do one. A Black Friday parlay.
Bobby Bones
Well, so Friday and Saturday games.
Eddie
Yeah, There's a lot on both days.
Bobby Bones
You want to do a 4 gamer, then just blame everybody who lost.
Kevin
Hey, there you go.
Bobby Bones
It. Okay, I'll go first. Indiana minus 28 and a half at Purdue.
Eddie
When in doubt.
Brandon Ray
I knew that was happening.
Kevin
Oh, Purdue. You're gonna go against Coach Odom. Coach Odom.
Bobby Bones
I'm not going against it.
Kevin
You are. By taking that pick. Dude, I really think of stuff like that when I bet. I'm like, I don't want to go against Odom.
Bobby Bones
I just.
Kevin
So I skipped that game.
Bobby Bones
I would rather not lose in our little group of shame. So I'm gonna go with that one, Kevin.
Eddie
Yeah, I'm gonna keep briding the. That sooner train -10 against LSU at home.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. At Oklahoma. Right?
Eddie
Yeah. I don't think LSU can put up more than 10 points.
Brandon Ray
Yep.
Bobby Bones
They should redo senior night for Coach Kelly and his son.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
Just those two at Oklahoma because I'll let him in for sure.
Kevin
You know, like, when they. When they do, like, the weddings at hospitals and stuff, it should be a.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good. Where they get to redo senior night for lsu.
Kevin
They reenact it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. He gets to walk out, get a ball with his dad. He's not.
Brandon Ray
What a moment.
Bobby Bones
Barred from the stadium.
Kevin
Sweet.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Hey, Oklahoma, you know what to do. Make it happen, Brandon.
Brandon Ray
Oregon minus seven over Washington.
Kevin
Okay, Eddie, I'm doing it. And this is the one that's gonna hit boys. The Texas A and M Maggies minus.
Bobby Bones
Two and a half over the Longhorns in Austin. Right, Mike? You going? Nah, staying here.
Brandon Ray
Oh, that sounded really sad, Mike.
Bobby Bones
No, no, I just think we're gonna lose that game.
Odoo Advertiser
All right.
Eddie
Really bad.
Kevin
Oh, you think you're gonna lose it really bad. Like more than two points, three points.
Bobby Bones
I don't. I think so. I don't. I think the sports world hates me so much. Texas is gonna freaking win this game.
Honey German
Oh.
Kevin
Because of you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I'll be the lone reason I have that kind of power.
Kevin
Yeah.
Brandon Ray
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
All right.
Bobby Bones
That's it. Thank you all. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the holiday.
Kevin
Wonderful. Don't eat too much. Don't overdo it.
Bobby Bones
Maybe you've already eaten a lot.
Kevin
Well, I'm talking about the leftovers.
Bobby Bones
Oh, continuing. Yeah.
Kevin
My problem is the pie, man. Like, like, especially when, like, I don't need the pie. I don't need another slice of pie. But the fact that there's pie left. I always have to get some.
Bobby Bones
Is being dairy free. Oh, yeah.
Kevin
Dude, that takes.
Bobby Bones
I would overeat like crazy.
Eddie
That's huge.
Bobby Bones
Now I just am sad. That's a change out. That's.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Instead of being, like, so full and ashamed of myself because I've overeaten, I don't eat it at all. I don't get it.
Eddie
It.
Bobby Bones
So I'm sad.
Brandon Ray
It's like, either way, you're gonna be sad.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I've changed. I've traded shame for sadness.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, that's good.
Kevin
But overall health wins. In this. Health wins.
Bobby Bones
I miss the shame.
Eddie
Yeah.
