Key Discussion Points & Insights

Coaching Carousel & College Football Salaries

• Kurt Signetti’s Contract:
  The show opens on the surprising news that Indiana's coach Kurt Signetti will stay, scoring a $12M/year deal (03:33).

  • Bobby, Kevin, Eddie, and team dissect the college football coach salary hierarchy, expressing surprise at high earners and sharing trivia about figures like Ryan Day and Lincoln Riley (04:07–05:17).

• Where Would You Rather Play: Notre Dame or USC?
  A brief but lively debate on college football's greatest programs, weighing culture, prestige, and personal biases (05:19–06:08).

NFL Talk & Football Culture

• The Carr Brothers’ Looks & Podcast:
  The hosts riff on how "David Carr looks like a pro bodybuilder, Derek Carr... not so much" (06:55–08:02, Eddie & Bobby).
  They also poke fun at the weirdness of claiming a Super Bowl win as a backup.

• Bobby’s “Package Dilemma”:
  Bobby shares, with much self-mockery, his habit of only bringing his packages in, leaving his wife’s on the porch—revealing a blend of domestic laziness and marital honesty:

  “There are times I will walk through because we have glass not on the door, but on the sides...I’ll bend all the way down and, like, get down near it and not be outside. But look, I’ve put so much work into seeing whose packages they are...” – Bobby [10:04–11:09]

  • Crew members relate or contrast their own habits, with Kevin being the only one always carrying everything in.

• Groceries and Selective Chores:
  Eddie fesses up to seeing delivered groceries and just... ignoring them until forced to act. He describes feigning ignorance to his wife when perishables like ground beef are left out (13:36–13:57).

Kicker Hypotheses & Weird Athlete Stories

• Kickers and “Personal Life Drama”
  Eddie wonders aloud if kicker performance dips (like Harrison Butker) are due to personal problems—a theory the team mock-analyzes.

  “Something’s going on in his personal life... He’s missing extra points, not 40 or 50-yard field goals, extra points.” – Eddie [14:14–15:04]

  They also debate whether DUI or BUI (biking under the influence) can occur—Kevin claims it happened to his friend, and Bobby fact-checks “CUI” (Cycling Under Influence) in California.

NFL and NCAA Coaching Rumors

• Who's Next for Penn State?:
  Kevin bets on Matt Rhule, Bobby on Manny Diaz, parsing their fit and readiness (18:12–19:30).

• NFL Titans Coaching Job – Is It Worth It? Bobby and team debate the instability of certain coaching positions, noting sometimes it’s riskier to take a “bad job” if you’re a rising coach (20:04–21:34).
  Mike McCarthy is floated as a stabilizer hire; Bill Belichick’s post-Patriots wandering draws sympathy and analysis:

  “I’m embarrassed for Belichick… I think it’s starting to hurt his overall legacy. Really, I do.” – Bobby [21:53–22:16]

Parlay of the Week

• The crew runs through their picks: all heavy road favorites, with their usual blend of strategy, superstition, and self-deprecation:

  • Oregon -17.5 at Rutgers (Bobby)
  • Ohio State -24.5 at Wisconsin (Kevin)
  • Texas Tech -7.5 at Arizona State (Eddie)

  They joke about always picking chalk and poke fun at their own methods (28:23–31:55)

Larry Fitzgerald: In-Depth Interview

Intro:
Bobby introduces Larry as a future Hall of Famer, Heisman runner-up, and second all-time in NFL receptions. The focus is on Larry’s “Pinkham” partnership with DraftKings supporting breast cancer awareness. (36:30–37:11)

Notable Topics & Quotes

• Staying Fit Post-Career:

  “I definitely don’t train like the physical aspect, I don’t train nearly as much as I did or do enough just to make sure I stay healthy… But in terms of reading and knowledge acquisition...that’s still the same. But from a physical perspective, there’s no reason to keep up that kind of pace.” – Larry Fitzgerald [37:57–38:23]

• The Competitive Bug:
  Larry plays chess daily, pickleball singles, and competitive golf to satisfy his competition needs:

  “Just because you don’t play ball anymore doesn’t mean the competitive energy just goes away. You still want to beat somebody in something every day.” – Larry Fitzgerald [39:46–40:11]

• Pickleball Lessons:
  Admits he got destroyed at a 5.0 tournament:

  “I had no business being out there. But I wanted to kind of just feel the speed of the game and the quality of it, and I realized very quickly that I need to find something else to do.” – Larry Fitzgerald [41:28–41:59]

• Occupational/Vision Therapy’s Impact:
  Eddie shares how seeing a poster of Larry’s story encouraged him to get therapy for his son:

  “Vision therapy was something that I did a lot growing up… still to this day, I have 2010 vision… It helped me track the ball, my eyes would be able to slow it down at that pace...It also helped me academically be able to slow down and help me learn and read and focus better in the classroom.” – Larry Fitzgerald [43:16–44:17]

• Greatest Catch:
  On his favorite clutch moment:

  “I caught a fade in the end zone in the Super Bowl that kind of got us going in the second half. That definitely stands up there.” – Larry Fitzgerald [50:12–50:38]

• Lasting Book Recommendation:
  Larry repeatedly reads The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho:

  “Every time I read it...I’m able to find something...a different message, a different narrative that I think possibly I was searching for at the time.”

  • Bobby agrees: “...whatever I was needing at the time, I’ve always found it within that book…”
    [47:42–48:42]

Segment starts: [56:00]

• Hilarious rundown of living in a sketchy building, “vaulted ceilings” dropping rubble, and embracing domestic life.

• Reveals he now cooks nightly, skateboards for fun, and—now with insurance—sports “Peacemaker” glasses:

  “It's just HD now, man. Colors are popping. I can see the world. It's beautiful.” – Reid [59:24–59:32]

• Admits he spent a prior insurance stipend from Bobby on UberEats instead:

  “Yeah, that went straight to UberEats… I knew my wife was gonna be a doctor, so why should I use this money on insurance?” – Reid [60:51–61:11]

• Claims happiness “15 out of 10,” even though he has few friends around. Has lost 30lbs, credits the show’s training legacy and healthier lifestyle, and details life as the “daddy homemaker” while his wife works long shifts (62:02–67:00).

• Shares that, for now, he’s making more money than his resident doctor wife, and that grocery store trips and laundry keep him busy.

---

This is a podcast called 25 whistles. Talking football.

[D]

And they all wear a whistle.

[A]

Yeah, stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. 25 Whistles, everybody. Welcome to the show. Mike, hit us with that whistle. Thank you very much. Another episode of 25 Whistles. We'll talk to Larry Fitzgerald coming up. More importantly, we'll talk to Reed.

[F]

More important, I mean, that's the star.

[A]

Yes, Reed. Our old buddy Reed. Who the people have demanded that we talk with Reed. Okay, so I want to start with a couple things. One sports thing. One not sports thing. Kurt Signetti did sign back with Indiana. He's not going to go to Penn State. He's not going to go to anywhere else. About 12 million bucks a year. So I'm surprised to see him say I thought he would go. It's not like he has a massive love for Indiana. He's been there a year and a half. But I think he sees the Big ten. He can win there and they're going to pay him 12 million bucks a year. Signetti is going to stay and not go to Penn State, which I found to be interesting. Kevin, you?

[C]

Yeah, same. And that number is high. I was looking. That would make him what, the third highest pace coat? Highest paid coach. But yeah, I'm very surprised that he's staying with them.

[F]

Especially highest.

[C]

There's gonna be some jobs opening.

[A]

Let me guess. The highest.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I'm gonna guess it's Kirby Smart.

[B]

Yep.

[F]

Second.

[C]

You want to guess again?

[A]

Yeah. Caitlin Debore.

[C]

No.

[A]

Where does he fall?

[C]

Or is seven okay.

[A]

I'll only take one more guess. It's going to be SEC or Big ten, I would think. I don't think it's going to be Ryan Day. I don't think it's going to be Dan Lanning, so. And That's Ohio State and Oregon. I don't. Brian Kelly, lsu.

[C]

No.

[A]

Ah.

[F]

Is it Dan Lanning?

[C]

No.

[A]

Who is it?

[C]

Ryan Day.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Think they get in for, like, a few bucks?

[C]

Yeah, I know. I'm surprised. And then third will really surprise you.

[A]

What?

[C]

Lincoln Riley.

[A]

That. That makes sense. I had to pay a bunch for him to get out of Oklahoma.

[C]

I mean, the money, I guess you're like, yeah, it's USC and Lincoln Riley, but the wind is like, yeah, well.

[A]

Listen, they may actually make a run at it this year. They may actually make the tournament.

[C]

Yeah. Big one this week. Notre Dame.

[A]

Yeah. Where would you rather play, USC or Notre Dame? If you got to play ball in one of the. Oh, you say, oh, not even.

[F]

That's easy.

[C]

Notre Dame.

[A]

Oh, you said you're a Southern cow guy. I thought he'd say USC as well.

[C]

Yes. No, I grew up, actually. I. I didn't like. I've never liked usc.

[A]

I picked Notre Dame as well because I feel like it's a bigger deal there. USC, you're one of 7,000 teams, and you're 638th on the list because college sports. Not really. Not really. The show in Los Angeles or New York or the Northeast. Like, if you're gonna go and, you know, play in the Midwest or in the South. The Southeast. That's where. If you're a big man on campus, you're kind of big man everywhere.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I hate the cold, so I had to factor that in.

[C]

Yeah, that's what. I'm surprised.

[A]

Yeah, me too. I was surprised, too, when I. When I picked it.

[F]

I was like, dang. Right after you picked it. Yeah.

[A]

I was like, ah. How about me?

[F]

Hey, who's the favorite in California? Like the.

[C]

The biggest. Oh, usc.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

They're, like, the most.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Like the biggest fan base.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Usc, UCLA is the little brother.

[A]

Yeah. What other teams are there?

[C]

They were. They had their little run with Harbaugh, and that was about it.

[F]

And then there's Cal.

[C]

Oh, no.

[A]

Fresno State.

[C]

Fresno State's a. You know, they're. They're an underdog that everyone likes.

[A]

Have you seen the Car Brothers in their podcast?

[C]

No, I didn't know they had one.

[A]

David and Derek Carr do a podcast together, and I was watching clips of it. I've not watched the podcast. I've not listened to the podcast. I've only seen clips. And Derek Carr is the younger. David Carr was the one that was drafted. It was a Texan first overall pick. Were they both first overall picks?

[C]

No, Derek was second round pick, I think.

[A]

Okay. So the older brother is a giant. Like he's so jacked.

[F]

Yeah, I remember he was big.

[A]

I. I don't think I even knew what he looked like.

[F]

Good looking dude.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

Like way better looking right there.

[A]

Great hair. He's got great.

[F]

Looks like a model.

[A]

Massive muscles. He does look like a model.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And then Derek, not so much. Not a bad looking dude, but not.

[A]

Like you just say that in a way of like you're superior.

[F]

It's just like, dude, David Carr was.

[A]

Like, pull your chin strap off your mouth.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I don't know if it can come down.

[A]

It'll come. You can tell. Somebody's never put on a helmet before. Bottom one. Eddie's wearing his Dallas Cowboy helmet.

[F]

It's not like one of those snap.

[A]

No, no, it's snapped, but you can fix it. It doesn't matter.

[F]

Here. There you go. Let's do that.

[A]

He's good.

[C]

Is that a choker now?

[F]

No, dude, what I'm saying is David Carr was a. Just a good looking dude. And I remember that like when he start when he got drafted and then car. I've just always been like, yeah, kind of normal looking dude.

[A]

Well, check out their podcast.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

At least just to look at them.

[F]

Were they both Fresno?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the older brother is. Looks like a professional bodybuilder.

[C]

He still looks like he's like 30 years old.

[F]

He didn't play very long, right?

[A]

Yeah. I don't know. Like, I feel like him and Matt Schaub just ran together.

[F]

Oh, that's right.

[C]

Yeah, that's fair. I think Carl won a Super bowl though, with the Giants as a backup.

[A]

Ah, does that count though? Can you. Yes. Can you claim. I mean, I think you can claim you were on a Super bowl team. I don't think you can claim you won a Super Bowl. Didn't start.

[F]

You're on the team. You won the Super Bowl.

[A]

You. Yeah, the team. Yeah, we won. Okay. I was on the ch. Oh, it's tough. I want.

[C]

No, you.

[F]

No, you could say, I won the Super Bowl.

[C]

I won the Super Bowl.

[A]

That sounds like a weird thing though. If you didn't even play and you say, I won the super bowl, but you're part of. We, we won the super bowl that year.

[C]

But like, okay, but if you're a staffer for that team and they give you a ring, you didn't win the Super Bowl.

[F]

No. Well, you didn't play.

[A]

If you're a backup, I think you can say we won The super bowl that year. And I think. I think you can also say I'm a Super bowl champion.

[C]

There you go.

[A]

But I don't think you can say I won the Super Bowl. If you didn't play, what'd you do.

[C]

In the Super Bowl?

[F]

Oh, you can say, I'm a Super bowl champion. Yeah. I feel like that's saying I won the Super Bowl.

[A]

No, because you won the super bowl means you had something to do with the winning of it, which you didn't.

[F]

Because you're just a backup, but you.

[A]

Were prepared and ready to go and you practiced.

[C]

Yeah, Scout team.

[A]

Yeah, I hear you.

[F]

That's a tough one.

[A]

It's weird to hear as a backup that they won the Super Bowl. They were. They were a part of a Super bowl champion team.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Also, this is a dumb rule that I hear nothing about. Like, I've already spent too much time talking about it.

[C]

We're still in the cars, by the way. For some reason.

[A]

I was. We're doing the show from my house. We're doing a little later on Thursday than we normally do because of the Larry Fitzgerald interview that you're gonna hear. And that was an afternoon thing, so we're just gonna meet up here and do the show. And I ordered a smoothie, and I went and got it, and I went and I grabbed it, and my wife had some packages on the front porch, and so I got my smoothie, and then I left the packages on the front porch and I went back inside. Which leads me to the question of. I didn't realize I did it, but I do it a lot. Do you ever look and see whose packages they are? And if they're not, you're. Just leave them out there even though you're out there?

[F]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah. Okay. Just making sure all the time.

[C]

No, I always grab them.

[A]

Oh, yeah, always.

[C]

And then I'll throw them, like, at the bottom of the stairs or on the countertop or something.

[A]

Yeah. No, I don't even touch them.

[F]

That's mature of you, Kevin. I do the same thing as you. I'm like, no, no, no.

[A]

Sometimes I will grab mine. If there's four and I have one, I will reach through.

[C]

Oh, man.

[A]

Get mine, take it inside, and leave the other three out there. And my wife will go like, hey, there's some packages on the porch. And I'm like, oh, yeah. Any other mind? No, because I think you already took yours off and left mine out there.

[F]

That's funny.

[A]

You don't. You don't do it that way.

[F]

Well, I Even do it with groceries, which crazy. Like, my wife will order groceries and I'll see him, and I'll just go to the garage and act like I didn't see him. Just because who wants to put all groceries away?

[A]

I understand the grocery putting it up thing, but for me, I have to do nothing except take them from outside and put them inside the door. I know, like, it's six. I just have to bend down. I don't even want to do that if they're not mine. There are times I'll walk through because we have glass not on the door, but on the sides of the door. There are times I will walk out, I will bend all the way down and, like, get down near it and not be outside. But look, I've put so much work into seeing whose packages they are.

[F]

You could have gotten them that I.

[A]

Could have easily opened the door and just brought them in. Yeah, but I'll look at me like, Caitlyn. Caitlyn. Yeah, not for me.

[F]

What about the mail? Do you go get them? Do you get the mail? I don't see you. We don't.

[A]

We don't get mail here.

[F]

Oh, no. No mail at all.

[A]

It's just junk mail.

[F]

Wow, that's amazing.

[A]

Business manager gets all the mail.

[F]

So who gets rid of the junk mail? Or is it just. It's just all piled.

[A]

Well, so every once in a while. So every once in a while, I'll order something from ebay that'll come in the mail. So that's funny you asked, because what will happen is if something is expected in the mailbox, I'll go down and it's just jam packed full of bunch of papers, brochures, coupons, all of that. So. Yes. So that's the answer to that. Who gets the mail? Us. If we've ordered something, like, to the house. That's not. If everything gets delivered to the door. Now, for the most part, yeah, Amazon, even, like the big stuff, Postal Service, if they can't fit it in the mailbox, those drive it up and drop it on front of the house.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I think 95% of the stuff gets dropped off at the house. But if there is something and I got to go down, I know that I got to wait through a bunch of crap mail to get to the one thing, and then sometimes I just leave it in there.

[F]

Let me ask you guys a question about mail. So, like, my son parks on the street and it's on. It's right by the mailbox. He doesn't cover the mailbox. Because I've told him, do not cover the mailbox.

[A]

Cover it. Like, park in front of it?

[F]

Yeah, like, park in front of it. But the mailman, I've been out there, when he comes in, and he has to cut the corner and barely get in front of my son's car to deliver the mail. And I've told him, dude, I'll tell my son to move that car if it's a problem. He's like, ah, it's not a big deal, man. Sometimes he has to get out of it, get out of his little truck and then deliver the mail. But he's vocally said, not a big deal. You're good.

[A]

I think it's probably not unless it's raining, and then that's probably annoying.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

But I think.

[C]

I think it's fine. I mean, you know how many times he does that a day, probably.

[F]

Yeah, but that's so annoying. He has to throw it in park.

[C]

But I guarantee you, he doesn't think about your kid's car ever. Like, he's like, I just. Another one, Another one.

[A]

I'm sure there are people that cover their mailbox up all the time, so that's probably.

[F]

Probably good. What you've told them.

[A]

Yeah. That you've tried to keep him out of the way.

[F]

Yeah. I just feel bad every time I see him do it.

[C]

But it's a good guy of you, dude.

[A]

Yeah. You're just a quality human.

[F]

Thank you, man. Thank you.

[A]

Way better than me. I thought you were gonna say with the groceries, that you'll see the groceries and you only go pick out a couple of things.

[F]

I get, like, the milk, only you don't have.

[C]

Like, you bring them in and she puts them away or anything like that. You just avoid them all together.

[F]

I avoid them. And then. And then if she's not home, she'll call and be like, hey, have the groceries been delivered? Oh, and then I had to play dumb and be like, I don't know. I'll go check.

[A]

But then you have to go get them.

[F]

Once I. Once that call comes in, I have to get them and put them away.

[A]

What if you notice, though, there's something like milk.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

They could go bad if you. Dude, are you still ignore.

[F]

I played dumb, dude. One time I did that, and she had ground beef in there, and she was gone all day. And so, like, you knew it was beef. I didn't know. I didn't know it was in there at the time.

[A]

Got it.

[F]

So when she came home, like, hours later and came back, she's like, dang it, there's ground beef in here. I forgot. There's so much like, it's. It can't be good. And I was like, oh, I wish I would have known. I wish I would have known that was out there. I would have gotten it.

[A]

Eddie has a funny theory about Harrison Bucker, the kicker for the Chiefs.

[F]

Oh, you have to agree with me on this. Something's going on in his personal life.

[C]

Why?

[F]

Because he's missing. He's missing extra points.

[C]

Are you thinking of Justin Tucker here?

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Is that what we're. Is that we're leading to?

[F]

Dude, Justin Tucker was 100% until stuff started going wrong in his personal life.

[C]

Yeah, but don't you feel like, like Young Hoku, you think he's got something going on?

[E]

He got released.

[F]

He's had problems.

[C]

Like what kind of problems?

[F]

DWI problems. Really?

[A]

I don't know if that's true or not.

[F]

Oh, man, I hope I'm not making that up.

[C]

Yeah, I have not, I swear.

[F]

I remember a few years ago he had to miss some games because of that and like, gosh, maybe it was someone else.

[A]

Dude, well, we can look. We can look it up.

[F]

Okay, but yeah, I mean, come on, like Harrison Butker, same deal. He didn't miss. He's missing extra points. Not 40 yard field goals, 50 yard field goals, extra points. Okay, but check his phone.

[A]

What if it's just like a tote? What if it's just something he just injured?

[F]

But they're not, they're not saying that. Like if they're injured, they're injured, right? Like, they'll just be like, we'll find another kicker to replace them.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What are you finding on back at Georgia Southern? He got a DWI.

[A]

Told you guys in 2015, hey, Eddie remembers all. No further questions. Except. Except when groceries are to be delivered. You remember the kicker at Georgia Southern 11 years ago, but he does not know when beef's coming to the house.

[F]

Is that right, Kevin?

[C]

That's what it says. Young Hoku was arrested for DUI during his college career. I never forgot Georgia Southern University, man.

[F]

See?

[A]

Dude, do you think you just got lucky? Well, totally. Oh, you didn't.

[C]

Yeah, right.

[A]

You're just confusing him.

[F]

But. But sometimes you hear things and you have no idea. Like that you heard it and you just. Your brain just remembers it.

[A]

No, I think you were just way wrong. I don't think you ever even heard that.

[F]

Why would I?

[A]

Has there ever been a conversation of him having a DWI at Georgia Southern in your Life that you were around.

[F]

What year was that?

[A]

2015.

[C]

Get out of here.

[F]

There's no way. There's no way.

[C]

A kicker at Georgia Southern.

[E]

What.

[F]

What are the odds, though? Like, how many people do you know have DWIs?

[C]

Like, not that a lot of my friends.

[A]

I mean, a lot.

[F]

Really?

[A]

I. I never had one.

[F]

No, I. I know you have it.

[A]

You don't drink, but I could have been on sleeping pills.

[F]

Oh, the dui.

[A]

Right, right, right, right. Like. Cuz there was a time where I was taking sleeping pills a lot, so I could. I could have got pulled over and been like, on sleeping pills. I'm trying to convince you guys that I could have gotten one. Like, I'm so lame that I'm like, no, guys, I really. I could have.

[F]

But you're good. You don't. You're good. I don't.

[C]

I had a buddy get a bui biking.

[A]

Really?

[C]

No joke, I swear.

[F]

Is that.

[A]

I would think that would still be a dui, but I guess there's no engine.

[C]

Yeah, it has something to do with that. But yeah. It was like middle of the night. He was going to his girlfriend's house from a party.

[A]

I thought. I thought you could ride a bike while drunk.

[C]

No.

[F]

Agreed. I thought. I've seen people were just like, I've been drinking, so I'm just gonna ride the bike.

[C]

We all thought he was joking. He's like, no, seriously. I think he got like a fine and had to take some classes. It wasn't as serious. But he got a bui.

[A]

You need to look that up. That sounds like he's messing with you. Because if it's like, hey, don't drive. Take my bike instead.

[C]

Right?

[A]

Like that's what I would do.

[C]

Then he.

[F]

Or we've seen stories where people take their kids little like jeep electric Jeeps, you know, to the store.

[C]

Oh, this is boating. Definitely not boating.

[F]

And they said bu y. Kevin.

[C]

That might be. That might be me making it up. But he definitely got something under the influence.

[A]

See if you can get a UI with something that is not. Doesn't have any sort of propulsion because you're having to.

[F]

I'm sorry, that's a big word. What does that mean?

[A]

Proposal with the bike. You're having to do it yourself. It'd be like walking.

[F]

Yeah, yeah. You're pedaling a bike, so you're doing it yourself.

[A]

Just like you're walking drunk. Is there a biking under the influence?

[F]

I mean, there's that too.

[A]

There's that, but that's different. His buddy said he was biking. I think this is, like, the time I learned that they didn't give my dog Bradley to a farm. And they. This is like, Kevin's about to learn. There was no biking.

[C]

It says, depending on the state. In California.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

What is it charged with a misdemeanor for riding a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs in California.

[F]

And what's it called?

[A]

It's called a cui.

[C]

Cui. Cycling classic. Mix up.

[A]

Hey, you learn something new every day. Most days, at least, yeah. Who's gonna coach at Penn State? Kevin? Make your pick now.

[C]

Matt Rule.

[F]

Eddie. The same. I saw a clip of him, you know, on a. On the podium, being interviewed about it, and he was very, like. He just kept saying, I love Penn State.

[A]

Well, he started with that. He was like, look, I went to school there, met my wife there. Every. I'm from there. He's from there. Like, everything about it. I think if he didn't say that, people would be like, you're hiding something. I think that's him. 8 Miling it a bit like he's gonna go out and just say everything so they can't say it to him, you know, get the reference, Kevin.

[C]

No, I'm trying to think 8 mile Eminem.

[A]

No, I know that.

[C]

The final scene of him, like, rapping.

[A]

Yeah, the final scene. Because he knows that everything.

[C]

They're gonna gotcha that. Oh, I gotcha. What if they talk about, you know, you shooting yourself, blah, blah, and he's like, yeah, yeah, gotcha. Okay, go ahead.

[A]

So he.

[F]

So he's getting ahead of them now.

[C]

I get it.

[A]

He's saying everything that they would say to him first before they can say it to him. So they don't have the power to say that to him.

[C]

Got it.

[A]

Like, you grew up there, you went to school there, you met your wife there. There's got to be, like, a personal pull to that job. And he's out, and he's like, I'm Matt Rule, and I get respect. He's rapping it.

[C]

I know everything you got to say against me.

[A]

Yeah, I. I think I'm going to pick Manny Diaz.

[C]

Oh, wow. Really?

[A]

Yeah. So Manny Diaz, defensive coordinator, Penn State, then. Is it Duke now? Duke's doing well, considering. I think it's Manny Diaz, is that.

[C]

He was there before. Right. As a D coordinator. It's a good call.

[A]

Like, he knows it. He's winning as. I think you just have to have somebody that was a head coach. I don't know if it's going to be like, a Joe Brady type guy, which I was thinking about the Titans job. That's open.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I wouldn't even take that job. No, no, me right now. I wouldn't take the job. Tough. It's a bad job.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Why in the world would you take a job one where the. It feels the personnel decisions have not been great over the years? There's no stability. Even in times of super instability. There should always feel like, though, there's a. There is, I would say, the ability to have time in that instable environment to make it stable. I feel like it's. There's not that he was the head coach here for a year and some games. You got to give somebody at least two years.

[F]

What if you're like a small, small school college coach? This is your chance to coach in the NFL. Take it.

[C]

The.

[A]

The risk of that is if it doesn't work, you're then seen as a failed head coach because it's probably not going to work. I think, like, people are saying Mike McCarthy and I think that's perfect, like.

[C]

As a gap coach or.

[A]

Sure, whatever. What's the difference?

[C]

Like a Pete Carroll?

[A]

Well, p car's a lot older though, right?

[C]

But.

[A]

Yeah, but what's the. Mike McCarthy, wherever he goes, they win. He won with the Cowboys.

[F]

We won a little bit.

[A]

Yeah. You just need something stable.

[F]

Saying that.

[A]

With a helmet on.

[F]

My helmet. I mean, we. We want a little bit.

[A]

Like. I think a coach like that also isn't going to just cowtow to everything that every single person in the ownership group is saying because they're like, I don't need this. If this job doesn't work out. Who cares? Yeah. Or if you get somebody young that.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I just don't think it's the best environment to succeed.

[C]

And Cam Moore needs it.

[A]

So you need someone who isn't worried about success here, making their whole career.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So that would be like. I think Mike McCarthy would be awesome. They'll probably go for a splash or they'll go and just get a coordinator that has, you know, no experience as a head coach. And that definitely works sometimes. It didn't this time, but I don't think it's his fault.

[C]

And then they give him less than two years and blame it all on him.

[A]

Blame it all on him. So.

[F]

Man, Belichick would have waited a little bit. He could have been coach of Penn State.

[A]

What? I. I'm embarrassed for Belichick.

[C]

I don't even like to think about it.

[A]

Yeah. I'm embarrassed for him.

[F]

I'm sorry, Kevin dude, that's got to be so hard for you.

[C]

I don't even. I legit don't even. I forget he's coaching all the time. I don't even think about it. I skip, like, social media stuff that has it. I'm like, I don't want to know that part of his life.

[A]

I think it's starting to hurt his overall legacy. Really, I do.

[C]

Do you think in.

[A]

Because it's such an S show in.

[C]

Five, ten years from now?

[F]

You mean. You mean the coaching? Sorry, Kevin. You mean like the. The coach or like everything in his life? S show?

[A]

The coaching, yeah. It's such a mess. And then now it turns out the GM was possibly over in Saudi Arabia trying to raise money.

[C]

Oh, I didn't see that.

[A]

Yeah, it came out today.

[F]

The GM of North Carolina.

[A]

Yeah, we looked that up. Mike Lombardi. Just Google Lombardi. Saudi Arabia.

[C]

Whoa. Never thought I'd hear those together.

[A]

I know.

[F]

That'S true, man.

[A]

I think if this is full disaster and he doesn't stay another year and doesn't repair this year, I think then it's, hey, Tom Brady was really the guy. As much as they were equal, he's the greatest coach of all time. Him and Tom Brady happened to be together. That was the perfect mix of Brady and Belichick. That's what created six super bowl champ, right? Six.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Brady won seven in Tampa. I think if this is a disaster as it is and he leaves while it's fully on fire, I think it hurts it just a little bit, but.

[C]

In, like, a vacuum going to the first three Super Bowls. Yeah. When Tom Brady wasn't putting up stupid numbers.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Being the guy he is at the end of his career. Do you give more credit to Belichick with the defenses? And he seemed like he had his hands on that a lot more than he did in the tail end.

[A]

I should say I give him all the credit. I mean, him and Brady, they. In reality, and I think they both were very much at different levels parts of the six championships. Right, right. But I'm talking about just public opinion.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And also, I think when you win three, four, five, six championships, your ego, your inability to modify, all this happens. And I think that's all hitting him in the face here at the same time. So he's still a good coach. But, you know, if you could be a great coach and there are still people that you feel maybe are smarter than you, there is a point, probably for Belichick where he feels like he's for sure the smartest Guy in the room and nobody else knows what they're talking about because he's. But that's never true. Like, that's. It's never true where you can't take advice or you can't learn something from other people. And I think that could be hurting him as well. Mike, what do you see? Yeah, Pablo finds out, reported on it. So two weeks before the season, he went to Saudi Arabia.

[B]

More to come tomorrow.

[F]

That's different. And I owe money over there.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

God. You think a Belichick gets out next this after the season, saves, his legacy gets out?

[A]

I think if this is a one year and it goes away, I think there are three scenarios here. I think if he stays another year and North Carolina has a little more stability and they win eight games or something, I think that's the best case scenario. I think second best case, there's only three scenarios. So middle scenario is that he finishes the year and it's like, hey, this wasn't for me.

[F]

It was a bad year.

[A]

It was a bad year. And so I think his reputation takes just a hit in the next few years when we're thinking about him. Like, overall, I don't think it, like, Michael Jordan was still pretty good with the Wizards. We forget that he still averaged 25 points a game. And most time we don't think about that because he didn't spend 10 years there. I think if he were to get fired or leave in the middle of the season, it hurts him worse than if he finished out a bad year.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because he ran from a problem.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I just can't see him doing that either. Leaving halfway through leaving like middle of the season. I could see him even. Even. Even calling it quits, quote, unquote. I guess like leaving knowing that he didn't, I don't know, do the best job. That'd be hard to. To see him do that.

[A]

I don't know what it means. And I just saw before we came on, but Stephen Belichick's wife had posted an Instagram story and there was a picture of a moving truck. And I think her. Her post was doing this again. Now it could admit he's the son. He is. And coordinator.

[C]

The coordinator, yeah.

[F]

Are there are both of his sons coaching? One?

[A]

I don't know. I know Stephen Belichick because he took him from Washington.

[F]

Oh, boy. So.

[A]

So no, it could. They could be moving to a new house in the neighborhood.

[E]

But what.

[A]

All I know is if. Did you see it?

[B]

Why would you post that?

[A]

Do you see it?

[C]

I'M think I just opened something.

[A]

AI is real good. So you never know.

[F]

Gosh, everything's AI now. Dude, you got a triple check.

[A]

But I'm pretty sure that's what I saw. If you see Stephen Belichick's wife post Instagram story about a moving truck there, I saw right before we came on, but that's what's up.

[C]

Yeah, I'm trying to look for the picture, but this says that she did do it.

[A]

What's the article say?

[C]

It says, photo from Steve Belichick's wife sparks major speculation.

[A]

So I didn't make that up. Good, good, good, good.

[C]

Love that.

[A]

All right, let's go and get to the parlay of the week. Oh, the AI though, the AI is crazy. I sent. So one of my really good friends is Brett Eldridge, the singer. And I saw an AI picture of Kelly Clarkson holding up pregnancy test and Brett Elder was next to her. And it's obviously. It's. It only looks like 85 of both of them. You can tell it's AI and it was like she just said it. This is what. She's pregnant. And I text it to Brett and I was like, dude, this is really creepy. He goes, dude, I know. He goes like, they're like old people that think this is real.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Because it's not him. I mean, if you.

[E]

I know.

[F]

If you really look at these, you know it's not that.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

And also, they have never dated. They did a song together that's like any artist, like a Christmas song. But the AI stuff is creepy. I mean, I use it all the time. Don't get me wrong.

[F]

You know what's funny on Tick Tock right now, is everyone doing Kirby smart, though. Everybody clap your hands.

[A]

Time out, Time out. Time out, Time out, time out.

[F]

Yeah, I mean, those don't get old.

[A]

Okay, let's get to the parlay of the week presented by DraftKings.

[F]

Okay, I got my phone out.

[A]

I hear you.

[F]

I'm ready.

[C]

I hear you. We gotta.

[F]

Dude, we. Hey, we're due for one, baby.

[E]

Let's go.

[A]

I know, I know.

[F]

Okay, I'm at the game.

[A]

How do we feel about Vanderbilt being a two and a half point favorite against LSU? That's crazy to me. Wild one, because LSU is ranked 10th, Vanderbilt's ranked 17th.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Secondly, and we like Vanderbilt. We like Coach Lee a lot, but it's still Vanderbilt.

[F]

Like, what's.

[A]

Yeah, they're Advent Advandy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

The thing is, I don't want to pick against Vanderbilt, but like, that. And also, it's almost like they're begging you to bet that. It was like when Kansas City was playing Detroit. We're like, we can't figure out why Kansas City's a 2 1/2 point favorite. Turns out all of Detroit's defense was broken.

[C]

Yeah, we're like, what do we not know?

[A]

Okay, I'm taking.

[F]

You gonna stay on that game or we.

[A]

No, I gotta get off.

[F]

Okay. I'm on the game that you're gonna pick Arkansas. Let's go.

[A]

I can't pick that one.

[F]

I just. I'm just joking.

[A]

I just don't know. How about this? Let's all three of us, we'll triangle it up. We'll run old times. Yeah. We'll run the old Lakers triangle offense here. Everybody pick a game. Do you have the list of games?

[F]

I have the list of games.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

LSU, Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt's two and a half point favorite. Georgia Tech.

[E]

Duke.

[A]

Georgia Tech is ranked 12th and Duke is a point and a half favorite. Manny Diaz.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, if he were to win that, that game against top 15 team as he's kind of in the mix. A lot of these coaches, too, because of public opinion, they need to continue having a good season. Even if, you know they're a great coach, they need to continue having a great season so that fan base doesn't freak out when you hire them to come and be the head coach of Penn State.

[F]

Help me out with this line. Texas Tech 7 1/2 over Arizona State.

[A]

At Arizona State. Yeah. And Arizona State's quarterback's playing.

[C]

He is playing.

[A]

I ready was playing.

[C]

Yeah, I know he didn't play last week, so that's what I was wondering. Texas Tech is good.

[F]

I know. I feel like seven and a half isn't.

[A]

Wait, is that what you're picking? Okay, I'm going. I'll go first. I'm gonna go. Oregon minus 17 and a half at Rutgers.

[F]

Well, you know what? That was gonna be my second one, so. I like it.

[A]

Crap. Shouldn't have picked it.

[F]

No, stop, stop, stop. We're going with it.

[A]

All right. Oregon minus 17 and a half at Ruggers.

[C]

Kevin, I'm gonna take another road team two, the heavy favorite, Ohio State -24 and a half at Wisconsin.

[A]

Wisconsin's about to fire their coach.

[C]

Yep. Ohio State defense is so good.

[A]

You know who they keep talking about being the head coach at Wisconsin? Coach Leipold.

[C]

Oh, really? That's another name.

[A]

He was at, like, Wisconsin Whitewater.

[C]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[A]

Like, he was very successful there.

[C]

Yeah, I won Like a bunch of champions.

[A]

I almost want to text him and be like, what's up?

[F]

Is that a high school?

[A]

I won't tell. No.

[F]

White water.

[C]

D3.

[F]

Okay. Small. Small call.

[C]

Small school.

[A]

Yeah, I don't think it's D3. I think it's two F. B.S. fC.

[F]

Yeah, that's how it's broken down now, Kevin. FCS. FBS. Don't know which one is which, though. FBS. Big boys. FCS. Smaller schools. DUI.

[A]

Thank you, Bui. Yeah.

[F]

Bui.

[C]

D3 is it.

[A]

It is a D3 school.

[F]

Oh, wow.

[C]

UW Whitewater, which competes in NCAA.

[A]

And did he go from there to Buffalo?

[C]

Well, Eddie's still looking for his pickles.

[F]

No, I got it. I'm. I'm. I'm gonna do another road team.

[A]

He picked UW Whitewater.

[F]

I found him. Yeah, no, I'm gonna go with Texas Tech over Arizona State -7 and a half.

[A]

Okay, so we have Oregon.

[E]

We.

[A]

We all pick the favorites. We're such losers.

[C]

I know.

[F]

Okay, man. We just. We're just trying to win here.

[A]

Oregon minus 17 and a half. Texas Tech at Arizona State. Texas Tech, Min. We picked all road teams, too. All road favorites in Ohio State -24 and a half at Wisconsin.

[H]

That's not even possible. Well, you're the only one that looks that much different. I look exactly the same. We're rewatching the series from start to finish and getting into all the fashions, the drama, and the behind the scenes moments that you've never heard before.

[A]

You're going to hear from guests like America Ferreira, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becky Newton, Tony Plana, and so many more icons.

[H]

Each and every one, all of a sudden, like, someone like, comes running up to me and it's Salma Hayek. And she's like, you are my Ugly Betty. And I was like, what is she even talking about? Listen to Viva Betty as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[I]

I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Rejon. And on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things. Food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostracon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way.

[A]

Bring back the ostrichon.

[I]

And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by.

[A]

Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golfo de Mexico. No, the America. No The America, El golfo de Mexico, continuous, forever and ever.

[I]

It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this, in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[A]

Now let's get over to our talk with future hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald. He played 17 years in the NFL, all for the Cardinals, Heisman runner up at Pitt in 2003, second all time in NFL receptions. And check out as you'll hear us talk about the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation. Big thanks to Larry for coming on. Here he is, Larry Fitzgerald.

[F]

All right.

[A]

We're joined by Larry Fitzgerald on behalf of DraftKings Pinkham campaign support. Oh, I get it. Pink. I'm like, I just got the whole name of the campaign. Anyway, let me, let me do this, Larry. Sorry about that. I just like, it hit me right in the middle of reading that. Supporting the Larry F. Foundation and breast cancer awareness all October long with free to play pick them pulls every Sunday. Larry, thank you for coming on. Hey, tell me about the, tell me a little more about this.

[E]

Well, so I've been very fortunate and lucky to be able to have unbelievable supporter in DraftKings. This is our seventh year now and with the, with the Pinkham campaign, you know, we're raising awareness for breast cancer research what our foundation supports. And you know, I hope if you, you haven't participated, please go to draftkings.com pinkham and you know, 20,000 free pool entries. The first 20,000 free point, you know, they match. And so please go sign up and support some great causes.

[A]

We're big DraftKings guys here already at big time.

[E]

Me too.

[A]

Okay, so a couple things. Question number one. What do you still do every day? That is very much training like that you did as you were playing.

[E]

I definitely don't train like the physical aspect, I don't train, you know, nearly as much as I do or do enough just to make sure I, you know, stay healthy. Right. But in terms of like reading and, you know, knowledge acquisition and being intellectually curious, like, that's still the same. It's always been. So I would say that's, that's pretty similar. But from a physical perspective, there's no reason to keep up that kind of pace if you're not, you know, a professional athlete.

[A]

Yeah, I was Thinking like bench press. You were talking about books. See, that's why you're gonna go far in life. Not, not like, like working out. So you don't, you didn't feel the need. Like, I don't know, a lot of my buddies who were ex athletes at very high levels, it took them a while to kind of taper down. Like, you know, they trained every day and they slowly had to get out. So were you able to quit and then just go, hey, I don't need to do it like that anymore? Because I'm not doing it like that anymore?

[E]

Yeah, I mean, I'm not going against, you know, Sauce Gardeners of the World any longer. Like, I'm not. I don't need to at that level. Right. I need to be able to go out and run routes with my son. You know, we're practicing on things or be able to go chase the kids around and, you know, just general fitness, you know. So a lot of times I travel a lot. You know, I take the, you know, the bands or the trx and I do, you know, my workout in the room and I do some, some intervals in terms of my treadmill. So I still get on and do like 30 second sprints at like, you know, 12 on a 4% incline. Right. And then walk for 45 seconds and then doing a 30, you know, so I still want to do some cardiovascular work to get my heart pumping and make sure I'm in good shape because I'm still a young guy and I'm 40, you know, 2 years old. And so you want to make sure that you are just taking care of your body, man, and, you know, being fit.

[A]

What about the competitive bug? Is there anything that you do? It could be, absolutely. Yeah. What do you do that keeps you, like, like fired up?

[E]

I play chess a lot. A couple games a day, you know, to keep me keep my mental acuity sharp. I play a lot of pickleball. I like, I like pickleball and particularly I like singles. Very competitive in golf. So, I mean, just because you don't play ball anymore doesn't mean like the competitive energy and bug just goes away. You still want to. You want to beat somebody in something every day and, you know, so I got to have it.

[A]

I'm a big singles pickleball player too, because it's the only time I can ever get, like, real work, like doubles. That's, that's fun with your friends. It's good camaraderie. But like singles pickleball is like, you want to get a Sweat. I actually own part of a professional pickleball team, which is the. The Texas Ranchers. So, like, I'm part of, like, pickleball, probably a little, Little healthier than. Than I should be. A little unhealthier than I should be. I've played in tournaments. Have you ever played a tournament?

[E]

I have. Unfortunately, it didn't work out well for me. It didn't work out well for me. I went, I played a5.0 tournament, and I realized I thought I was good. I'm like a 4 or 5, I would say. But that, that 0.5 is a big difference. You know what I mean? Like, especially with those, Those firefights up at the, at the net, you know, the quality of the serves, the third shot drops, you know, like, there's a significant improvement, you know, at that level, you know, But I. I got a chance to. To drill with some really good players, you know, like, I, I, you know, and. And Andre d', Escu, you know, who I think is playing, you know, as good, if not better than anybody in the world right now. And, you know, a lot of really good players and, you know, so it's been fun to kind of be a part of the game and see it continue to grow.

[A]

Okay. You said you played a 5.

[E]

0.

[A]

That, that's like, pro. See a little bit. I was like. Because I played a 3. I won a 3. 5 tournament once. I want, but it's 3. 5. So I played a 4. I got swallowed. You played in a 5. Like, I shouldn't even be talking to you right now at pickleball.

[E]

No, no. I had no business being out there. I had no business being out there. But I wanted to see. I wanted to kind of just feel the speed of the game and the quality of it, and I realized very quickly that. That I need to find something else to do.

[A]

Do you miss Sundays with all the guys? You miss Sundays competing?

[E]

No, I wouldn't say I miss it. And I played 17 years professionally, you know, probably all in all, 30 years, like, in just, you know, from Pop Warner, Little League all the way through, you know, so I had a fabulous run. So many great memories and things I could look back on and be very proud of the, you know, things we were able to do for. For the city and philanthropic endeavors that we support, similar to what we're doing here for Trap Kings, you know, so, like, those. Those things always kind of like flood my mind with, you know, a lot of positive things that I can take from my experiences.

[F]

Hey, Larry. When I got a Quick story. When my son was young, the doctor was like, he was having some motor skill issues, and the doctor was like, you take an occupational therapy. And as parents, we didn't know what that was, and I was really reluctant towards it, you know, but when we got to the doctor's office, they had a poster of you and an article of Larry Fitzgerald, how he struggled with certain things when he was younger. And he. Occupational therapy helped him in his career. And honestly, that really made me open up my eyes to. And be like, you know what? Hey, if my son could be the next Larry Fitzgerald, we're doing this. Unfortunately, he wasn't. But do you. What do you. What can you say about that? Because that blew my mind when I read that, man.

[E]

Well, first, it's early for your son. Just. Just tell him to stick with it. Yeah. Vision therapy was something that I did a lot growing up. My grandfather and my mom's second to oldest sister, both optometrists in the Chicago area. She's still an optometrist. So, you know, all summer, like, twice a week, you know, for eight weeks in the summertime, I was doing vision therapy, you know, merging quarters, doing all these eye strengthening exercises. And still to this day, I. I have 2010 vision still to this day. And. And it definitely helped me track the ball. When I could see, like I was playing baseball, I could. Balls being thrown. I mean, I could. I could see the. The stitches. Like, my eyes would be able to slow it down at that pace. And so it definitely helped me improve. Definitely helps me now I don't have to wear contacts or glasses or anything. Not yet. God willing, I continued on that path. But, yeah, man, it was something that really helped me, and it also helped me academically be able to slow down and help me learn and read and focus better in the classroom. So, like, all across the board, it was very helpful.

[A]

There's a lot made about you being a ball boy with the Vikings way back in the day. Did you know at that point that you wanted to be a pro football player or where were your aspirations athletically at the time?

[E]

Yeah, I mean, I. I wanted to play, but, you know, when you're 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, man, likelihood of you making it is so slim. Right. But I knew that if I applied some of the same discipline that I saw John Randall and Chris Carter and Chris Dolman and Randall McDaniel, Randy Moss and all these guys do every single day, that it will give me a better chance to actually have a opportunity to do it right. There's no guarantees, but it was just the mentality, the focus, the intensity, the way they did their job every day was, gosh, man, this is. This is special what I'm watching. And I was able to realize that. And I started implementing into what I was doing and I just started taking off. And obviously I had a love and a passion to get better and compete. And I think, you know, this, the mixture of it, you know, was really helpful.

[A]

You left college early. How hard was that to get approved? You have a very famous situation.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

So I came out with Maurice Claret and Mike Williams, who both were sophomores, and I was a sophomore as well. The only thing that was different is that I had went to a prep school for a year. So my original graduating class was graduated in 2001. I ended up going to a military school for a prep year, which took me out, and I ended up graduating 2002. But technically my original graduating class was 2001. So 2004 year would have given me technically three years removed from my graduating class. And so we presented that quietly to NFL Legal, like I didn't want to go and like, you don't want to go toe to toe, chest to chest with the national football. That's not what you want. And so we kind of went back challenge to see if they would be okay with that explanation. And they got back to it and said that was fine. And so I was able to do that and not try to battle, you know, to fight my way.

[A]

In your hands, obviously a plus. Were they always great as a receiver or was that something you also had to train to do?

[E]

Yeah, I think even when I was a young kid in our cul de sac, it was like this circle. And I remember when the snowplows would come in and they would push the snow up against the walls and we would have these snowball fights and, you know, I would throw one up in the air and a guy would lift and I would throw it. And I could always, like, see the ones that were coming. I could catch them, you know, repackage them and throw them back. Like that was like 7 years old. I could always catch it. I just was good at catching a center fielder and baseball. I could track it off the bat. I could see where it's going. And so I always had really good hands. But obviously I worked tirelessly at, you know, getting better and better every single day with the drills that I could do. But naturally I was just. I was good with the hand eye stuff.

[A]

What was the big change for you when you moved into the slot.

[E]

I just think the physicality of it, you know, you're so much closer to the ball, so you're closer to the linebackers and defensive ends and jobs responsible for blocking force a lot more frequent. So I think just the physical nature of it was different, but I think it made me much more complete player and had not added that part to my game later in my career, you know, I definitely wouldn't have been the player that I turned out to be.

[A]

Do you have any books you've read more than twice?

[E]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I would say the one that I've read the most is probably the Alchemist by Pablo Cohen. I think that really kind of challenges the way you think and, well, you know, you know, what the good life really looks like, you know, and how you can attain that by just trying to find inner peace and happiness every day. And so, yeah, I've probably read that book, I don't know, eight, nine, ten.

[A]

Times maybe, I think, because I've read it a few times as well. Every time I read it, and again, it's not a long book, but every time I read it and it's not a lot of words, I'm able to find something like a different. A different message, a different narrative that I think possibly I was searching. This is going to sound way kind of cuckoo maybe, but I think for like, whatever I was needing at the time, I've always found it within that book, even though it is not a book of like 500 chapters or. Or 100,000 words.

[E]

Yeah, I'm. I am. I'm in agreement with that.

[A]

With the Cardinals. You know, we got.

[F]

We got.

[A]

Not winning a bunch of games so far, although we did. Hey, I don't know how you feel about the Cardinals this year. I don't want to. I don't want to create a narrative. How do you feel about the Cardinals this year?

[E]

You know, what I mean is what I would say about the whole John Coach Gannon regime. Like, they are competitive, they're feisty. Um, and I know they started off two and all and dropped the last few, but, like, all these games are competitive. They're in every single game. You look at what they did up, you know, the tough place against a really good team, Indianapolis coach this week, they ran it led late into the fourth quarter. Like, they. They fight and they compete. You know, you just want to see them start kind of getting over the hump, you know, they played pretty poorly early on against Seattle, fought their way back in, was able to. To get to get the lead, obviously lost in overtime. But the way they're able to fight, the way they able to scratch and make plays is something that I really admire. Like, they got a lot of fight.

[A]

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Somebody that you talk with? There are a lot of similarities. Not just playing receiver for the Cardinals.

[E]

Yeah, I don't talk to him a lot. You know, we. We communicate once in a while. No, I don't. I'm not one of those guys that tries to befriend and get close to, you know, the players. You know, I think this is their time. I had my time in the sun. It's their time now. If they. They ever need anything, any advice or anything that I could do to help them, you know, in their journey, I'm always available. But, you know, be reaching out and calling and texting, like, that's not really my jam.

[A]

All right, give you one more question here. So final question. What. What is your favorite, like, clutch catch from you at all, anytime in your career? What's like, the one.

[E]

I think I caught a fade in the end zone in the super bowl that kind of got us going in the second half. Himself. Yeah, it was like. I think that's one of my favorite ones to. To kind of get the ball rolling. I think that that definitely stands up there at one of the top plays.

[A]

Larry, I appreciate it. And again, it's the Pinkham campaign. You can go to the Larry FitzgeraldFoundation.org to find out more, to get involved. But also, you know, with DraftKings, you can see it all up there as well. The mission of the Larry Fitzgerald foundation is to support youth education and breast cancer awareness and all October, along with DraftKings. Larry, really appreciate the time, man. Hope you have a great day. Yeah, thanks. Thanks for spending a few minutes with us.

[E]

Absolutely. I appreciate it, man. Keep your son in division therapy.

[F]

Yeah, you got it.

[B]

[H]

What was that like for you to.

[A]

Soft launch into the show?

[D]

Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today.

So let's see how it goes.

[D]

Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[I]

I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Jejon. And on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things. Food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostracon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way.

Golf of the Mexico. Not the America, not the American. Forever and ever.

[I]

It blows Me away. How progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights.

[A]

And I'm all grown up now.

[H]

Welcome to our new podcast, Viva Bethy.

[A]

Yay.

[H]

Can you believe it has been almost 20 years? That's not even possible. You're the only one that looks that much different. I look exactly the same. We're rewatching the series from start to finish and getting into all the fashions, the drama, and the behind the scenes moments that you've never heard before.

[A]

You're gonna hear from guests like America Ferreira, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becky Newton, Tony Plana, and so many more icons.

Each and every one. All of a sudden, like, someone, like, comes running up to me and it's Salma Hayek. And she's like, you are my Ugly Betty. And I was like, what is she even talking about? Listen to Viva Betty as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[A]

Okay, I. I got a tweet from somebody. LV Runner, 1975. They say, Mr. Bobby Bones. I must say, 25 whistles. My favorite sports podcast. Been a day. One whistler. I think I speak for the majority of the other whistlers when I say we're long overdue for a Reed update. Need to know how his St. Louis chaos is going. Reed. So the people have demanded we put you back on the show.

[B]

I'm glad I'm back, baby.

[A]

How's life?

[B]

I'm happy to be here. It's great. I mean, streets are still a little crazy out here. Living downtown. Downtown. But, you know, you respect the streets, they respect you back.

[F]

Amen, brother.

[B]

It's been pretty good, man. It's been pretty good. What's your podcast work? What's up?

[F]

You have a curfew or, like, you do not go outside at this time.

[A]

Noon.

[B]

Yeah, 4pm Yeah, 4pm doors are locked. We're inside. That's just how it rolls out here, man.

[E]

Buddy system.

[B]

It goes the whole way.

[A]

Hey, man, you have some High ceilings. Like, I know you're like, supposed to be, you know, we're not making a lot of money right now. That is a vaulted ceiling.

[B]

It is, yeah. It's a little loft style up here. The rocks do fall frequently, though, from the seal. Be sitting and you will just hear rubble falling from the ceiling. So I don't know if that's a bad sign or not, I think.

[A]

So like in your living, in your living room or just like outside the building?

[B]

Everywhere. No living room. My nightstand in the bedroom. I wake up and my nightstand is covered in rubble.

[A]

Stop using the word rubble like it's an earthquake or like.

[F]

Like you've been bombed.

[B]

It's literally dirty.

[A]

Yeah, Reads is talking to us from Gaza right now.

[F]

Right.

[A]

Rubble. Okay, so you live in downtown St. Louis. How often do you actually get out of your apartment or your condo?

[B]

So I take Maddie to the hospital in the morning at like 6am and then I'll pick her up right now at 6pm and so other than that, I will. I'll go get some groceries. I've cooked every night this week, which is crazy because I. I don't cook. And so I've learned to cook. And so it's either me going to the grocery store or running an errand or I've picked up skateboarding. So, you know, might go hit a couple tricks at the park for a minute. You know, get some exercise. But it's a park that's way outside of town. You know, I'm not trying to get.

[A]

Killed because if you don't respect the.

[F]

Streets, they don't respect you.

[A]

That's right. Hey, so, yeah. You have glasses on. You look pretty. Pretty intelligent with your new glasses. There's a bit of a. There's a bit of a story behind that.

[B]

There sure is. Yeah. So I finally got eye care with being married, and so I finally could go to the eye doctor, and I can see. It's a miracle. I just never worried about it at all. And unfortunately, they were like, you need two pairs of glasses. One for work and one for every day where. Which was really expensive. Insurance covered a decent amount of it, but. But I feel like a new man, man. I could. I could see. And now I look like vigilante from Peacemaker.

[A]

You do look exactly like.

[F]

Well, you were blind when you were here. Like, you couldn't see anything.

[B]

I had a slight stigmatism, so I could still see, but it just wasn't astigmatism.

[A]

Got it. Okay.

[B]

Is what they called it.

[A]

Yes. That's what they Got so I can still.

[B]

I. Yeah, I can still see, but it's definitely. It's like, it's just. It's hd. Everything's HD now, man. Colors. Colors are popping. I can see the world. It's beautiful.

[F]

Didn't you. Didn't you give him, like, money for, like, insurance? Yes.

[A]

No, he's. I was so offended when he first came.

[F]

You gotta talk about this?

[A]

Well, no, it's. Reed worked with me for. How many years were we together? Five, six, something like that?

[B]

Five? Ish. Yeah, probably five.

[A]

I hired Reed off the streets. I respected the streets.

[B]

Yeah, baby.

[A]

I hired Reed from an email. Like, he just emailed and was like. And I talked to him on Zoom and then that. Eventually I hired him. And then everywhere I went, Reid went. And when he was like, hey, I got to move because my wife, she's going to finish med school and wherever she gets put as a doctor, I got to go there. We were all very sad.

[F]

Very sad.

[A]

Yeah. And so I was like, dang, okay, we'll find a way to keep you on. But like, I hired him, paid him a full time salary, I thought for the level of skill he had at the beginning, overpaid him a bit. But I also paid him a salary and then gave him a full stipend for insurance because I'm not a big company. But I was like, hey, you can get insurance on your own. Here's this many thousands of dollars to buy insurance.

[F]

And you made it clear to him that's gonna. If you want, you're gonna use this for insurance.

[A]

I think he just bought pork rinds or something with it because all of a sudden he comes back and he's like, I'm skateboarding because I don't care if I get hurt. I got glasses because I couldn't see. I got insurance for the first time. I'm like, dude, what do you think all those thousands of dollars were for that I'm giving you extra outside of your salary? And he was like, I don't know, man.

[F]

Reed, what did you use that money on?

[B]

Yeah, that went straight to Ubereats. That's exactly what it went to.

[F]

It's like insurance, I guess.

[B]

And I knew. I just. I mean, I knew Maddie was going to be a doctor, so I'm like, she's going to have the best insurance you could possibly get. So why should I use this money on insurance? I'm not going to get hurt. You know, I might have a toothache, but freaking screw it. I can fix it myself.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And I don't need to be able to see because in three or four years, I'm hopping on her train, you know?

[A]

Three or four years. Well, yeah, he's out. He's telling everybody the story about how he finally has insurance. There's like six of us together.

[F]

Even though.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

We flew down. We came here and we met. We flew down to the Lionel Richie show. So it was me and Kevin and Brandon and Reed and Morgan number one, and Tom. Like, there's six of us and Reed's going on. I finally have insurance. I finally have insurance. And I'm like, dude, they think I didn't allow you to go to the doctor.

[F]

Like, take care of.

[A]

Yes. Like that. I didn't take care of him at all.

[C]

And so I was dragging. Yes.

[A]

I was like, guys, I promise you, I don't think he just knew what to do with the money.

[B]

No. I for sure just didn't want to.

[A]

Use it for insurance.

[B]

Real reasons.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What's your happiness level at right now?

[B]

Oh, it's at a freaking 15 on a level 10 scale. You know, it's. I. I am the happiest I've ever been in my entire life.

[F]

I'm like, he's insulting you.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Insulting all of us, dude. That you weren't that happy when you were here with us.

[B]

No, but I'm still connected with you guys. If I wasn't connected with you guys, I would. I would be just a sad sack of a human.

[F]

That makes sense.

[C]

Thank God you're not a sad, sad.

[A]

He doesn't have any friends up there yet. He's happier with no friends up there.

[C]

The highlight of your day at the grocery store.

[F]

Yes.

[A]

He has to go to 45 minutes out of town to skateboard, but he's the happiest he's ever been.

[C]

Carry a pistol on him, but he's happy.

[B]

I'm just. I'm just content with life, man. I got a weenie dog now. It's like, is that you?

[F]

You didn't have a dog before?

[B]

No, no, I didn't have a dog as hers.

[A]

And how's she doing? She's doing 12 hour shifts, it sounds like.

[F]

Yep.

[B]

12 hour shifts. She's had the last seven days in a row working without a day off. And so she will work until Monday and she'll get another day off.

[A]

When do you get to move? When do you get to move again.

[B]

In three years and you don't know where? Don't know where.

[A]

Can you pick where, though? Sorry.

[B]

There's a nat in here.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, you can pick, you can pick after that because that in three years, she will be finished with residency, and then it's just based off of job choice, like if she wants to get a job with a hospital, start our own clinic, that sort of thing.

[A]

So how long have you been there in St. Louis? Since May, June, July, August, September.

[B]

Five months.

[A]

So two and a half years. You're back in Nashville.

[F]

You're coming back here, right?

[B]

Dude, I will try my best. I mean, I would love to. We're going to try to have a kid in the next year and a half or so. And so I don't know if it'd be better to be closer to family. Even if we were closer to family, it's still closer to Nashville than it is here to Nashville. But I would love to live in Nashville. I love Nashville.

[A]

We're slowly dropping his happiness level by reminding him where he is. I'm so far away from my family. A couple more questions. This is just a re. Check in for the month. Do you watch any sports at all now that you're not with us?

[B]

I watch a lot of highlights because I'm still pulling a lot of clips. Like, I saw the, the Tez Johnson thing. I was like, hey, we know that guy.

[A]

Yeah, that's cool.

[B]

Which is super cool because I didn't recognize it at first, but as far as actually sitting down and watching full games. No, not at all.

[A]

Are you betting?

[B]

None whatsoever. No. Not betting. Yeah, it's almost legal. It's still not legal yet, but we.

[F]

Already told you how you can do it, though. Different ways.

[A]

Drive to the state line, drive over.

[B]

That line, 15 minutes.

[A]

Or you can do pick six. Yeah. Pick sixes in Missouri.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Pick six.

[E]

Yep.

[F]

You got options, baby.

[E]

That's true.

[B]

I feel I don't know what my strategy needs to be, though, because now it's like, when we weren't married, I'm like, nobody's looking at my bank account. Nobody knows what I'm spending my money on.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But now it's like, I got to be cautious about, about that. So it's like, should I, should I, like, go in it with, like, hey, give me $50 every two weeks to bet during, like, primetime sports? Should I do it like that, or how do you guys do it?

[A]

Well, I think, well, I think we do it differently, honestly.

[F]

But there's no way Bobby's and mine are the same. No way.

[B]

Very true.

[A]

I, I, I don't know what the financial situation is there now. I mean, are you, are you or she more the breadwinner there.

[B]

Ironically, I'm making more money than her.

[A]

Right now because she's in that early. Let's say it's called, like. Is she called an intern even though she's a doctor? Is that what that stage is?

[B]

Resident intern? Yes.

[A]

Yeah, dude.

[B]

So she's a first year essentially, guys.

[A]

Still a doctor, but I didn't know. That's a weird thing. So right now, until she's out of that. That part of the. The doctoral situation.

[F]

Sounds great, dude.

[A]

Yeah. You're making more money than she is right now.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

A wise man.

[B]

Feels fantastic.

[A]

What do you have? You put your bank accounts together?

[B]

Yes, I have. I got a business checking, a business savings, and then a personal checking, and that's what I use to move money from the money that I put away for taxes.

[F]

You don't have to give us all that information.

[A]

It's like my banking number is. But I'm saying, though, do you guys share an account?

[B]

Yes, we do have a shared account.

[A]

And so do you watch the account? But do both of you guys watch the account?

[B]

Funny enough, she doesn't even have logins to any of it.

[A]

She just said, you're setting yourself up for success here.

[B]

She kind of. She does. She has no idea whatsoever.

[F]

She trusts him. That's where the problem is.

[A]

Well, she's working 12 hours a day, seven days a week as a doctor. Yeah. Like, if you need somebody dependable, you're looking at him right there.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

The guy who had insurance money for five years and spent it on UberEats.

[F]

But he has real insurance now, though.

[B]

All right, well, dude, the house is clean, man. Laundry's done, food is ready on the table when she gets home.

[A]

Wait.

[B]

It's been good.

[A]

You're the housewife.

[B]

You are right now.

[E]

I am.

[B]

I'll take it.

[F]

You're the stay at home.

[B]

I mean, I'm the daddy homemaker right now.

[F]

Hey, so when she works late, are you kind of like sitting in the dark with the food that's cold? And you kind of look at her and be like, well, where you been?

[A]

You couldn't call?

[F]

You couldn't.

[B]

Well, I go pick her up, so I can't do that.

[F]

Oh, okay.

[A]

You guys just share one car?

[B]

Yeah, she's got a car, but it's. Lately we've just been using my car. Yeah.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Safer.

[F]

Oh, security.

[B]

Safer. More reliable.

[A]

Oh, your car is.

[B]

Yeah, my car is.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And the. The parking garage that she would have to park in, it's like a 15 minute walk and we live, like, it's like a 20 minute walk from our place, so it just makes sense for me to just drop her off.

[E]

All right.

[B]

Pick her up.

[A]

Well, I always wanted to check in, see how you're doing. Sounds like you're doing pretty good.

[F]

I got a question, Reed.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Your. Your trip to Nashville, you got to hang out with some of your old friends for a little bit. Like, what did you guys do.

[B]

So? Well, hanging out consisted of just getting rid of a bunch of junk that I had at Dawson's house, and we got a U Haul, and that's about it.

[A]

Like, we.

[B]

We. We stayed up and played some video games that night.

[E]

Drank some.

[B]

Drank some brews. Felt great. The time before that, we went salsa dancing.

[F]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

And by we. Him. Just him and Dawson.

[F]

Just him and Dawson.

[B]

Just me. Just me and Dawson.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. It was fun, though. Yeah, it was fun. I'll be up there in a couple weeks, though.

[A]

How much weight have you lost?

[B]

Around 30 pounds.

[E]

Wow.

[F]

Good job.

[A]

And what do you credit that to? Well, 100.

[B]

I credit to Kevin Klug right there, strength and conditioning. And Bobby for letting me work out with y' all and not have to pay.

[A]

That's not true.

[F]

But that's been.

[E]

It's.

[A]

That's been a while. You've lost most of this weight since then, since you moved to St. Louis?

[B]

Yes, but I.

[E]

Well.

[B]

Yeah, pretty much. Actually, it was mainly diet, though. Like the last four or five months, being in Nashville, when I was dieting.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then. Yeah. And then after moving, just lifestyle changes. Like eating at five o' clock and not. I still destroy some Oreos at night, but.

[A]

What about the beer?

[B]

I'm not eating. I'll drink once a week.

[A]

When you were here, how much were you drinking?

[B]

Oh, I was probably drinking every couple of days. Not a whole lot, but just like a beer or two every couple days.

[F]

And playing video games and stuff.

[C]

Staying up late.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I'm still staying up late now, though.

[A]

I got a boy.

[B]

She goes to bed.

[A]

You'll show them. Hey, yeah.

[B]

She goes to bed at like 9 o', clock, though. I can't do that. All right, so I stay up.

[A]

Well, wear a helmet in your house because rubble could be falling. You never know.

[B]

Amazon. I just ordered a helmet, a skating helmet.

[F]

So I got one that's for skateboarding, actually.

[B]

It actually just got in today. I need to go get it. Oh, I can use it sleeping, too, now. So I went to the dentist and I got a mouth guard, so now my teeth are Going to be protected.

[F]

Well, that's because you have insurance now, dude. You didn't have that before.

[A]

Life is so good.

[B]

I know.

[A]

It's 15 out of 10.

[B]

It's fantastic. It's fantastic. I miss you guys.

[F]

Miss you, man.

[A]

All right, talk to you soon, buddy. All right, there he is.

[B]

All right, love you guys.

[A]

See you, buddy.

[D]

Hey, it's Ed Helms. And welcome back to Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw ups. On our new season, we're bringing you a new snafu. Every single episode.

[A]

32 lost nuclear weapons. You're like, wait, stop.

[C]

What?

[A]

Yeah. Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player who still wore knee pads.

[F]

Yes.

[D]

It's gonna be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and.

[G]

A whole lot of guests.

[D]

The great Paul Scheer made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow, Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched you're here.

[H]

What was that like for you to.

[A]

Soft launch into the show?

[G]

Sorry, Jenna.

[D]

I'll be asking the questions today.

[A]

I forgot who's podcast we were doing.

[D]

Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich.

[F]

So let's, let's, let's see how it goes.

[D]

Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[I]

I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Jejon. And on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things. Food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these ostrakan to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way.

[A]

Bring back the ostracon.

[I]

And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by.

[A]

Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golf of Mexico. Not the America. Not the America. El Golfo de Mexico. Continual forever and ever.

[I]

It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[H]

Sami Gente. It's Ana Ortiz.

[A]

And I'm Mark and Delicato.

[H]

You might know us as Hilda and Justin from Ugly Betty. We played mother and son on the show, but in real life we're best friends.

[A]

And I'm all grown up now.

[H]

Welcome to our new podcast podcast Viva Betty. Can you believe it has been almost 20 years? That's not even possible. You're the only one that looks that much different. I look exactly the same. We're rewatching the series from start to finish and getting into all the fashions, the drama, and the behind the scenes moments that you've never heard before.

[A]

You're going to hear from guests like America Ferreira, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becky Newton, Tony Moni Plana, and so many more icons.

[H]

Each and every one. All of a sudden, like someone like comes running up to me and it's Salma Hayek. And she's like, you are my Ugly Betty. And I was like, what is she even talking about? Listen to Viva Betty as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[A]

Tiger woods having a seventh back surgery.

[C]

Seven.

[A]

Yeah, seventh.

[F]

He's done, right? I mean, he's not gonna play again.

[A]

Probably not, but when he had the Seniors. But when the car like was crashed into the ravine, we thought that too.

[C]

I thought he was.

[F]

Was that before the Masters win? No, I was after the Masters.

[A]

Dude, he's had so much crap. I don't know.

[F]

That was during COVID I think that was the end. Dude, that was the end. That car wreck kind of did. Did everything.

[C]

He won them.

[E]

No.

[C]

19.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I think you won the Lions Club event, the raffle. Do you remember? Do you remember the Lions in Austin? We used to go play.

[F]

Oh, Lions.

[A]

The golf course.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Didn't you see like a fight in the parking lot where somebody shot somebody? Was that you?

[F]

No, that doesn't sound familiar.

[A]

We used to play there and it wasn't the greatest course at the time. It could be.

[F]

It's a muni and it was old.

[A]

It could be. Now, for the record, it might be the greatest course ever. We don't know. At the time it struggled, but they had a big net. Like there was a. There was like a old beat up road on the side of it, kind of like a highway, but one they should have fixed long time ago. And it had a huge net on the side of it that would keep balls from hitting all the cars. That's the kind of place where if you hit a car, they'd pull a gun on you. So.

[F]

Yeah, that's probably in the middle of town now.

[A]

One more Google. Mike, will you Google Lions Club Austin gun fight. I. It seems to me like there was a.

[F]

And you know somebody that witnessed it. Yeah, not me.

[A]

Or was like there right when it happened. Heck, I don't know. It might have been me. It feels like a lifetime ago.

[F]

That's not where I flipped the car, right?

[A]

No, that's a different course. It was. Yeah.

[E]

Do you.

[A]

You see anything, Mike? No, I'm not seeing anything. Okay.

[F]

It was a dream you had.

[A]

Whatever, man. Tiger woods announced he underwent lumbar disc replacement surgery on October 10th. It's his seventh back surgery in 11 years. I said he made it for his health. The 15 time major champion didn't mention how long the surgery would keep him off the course. He hasn't played since his loss in the PNC Championship last year. I haven't played golf in months.

[C]

You should play months since you beat Eddie.

[F]

That can't be the last time you played with. Did you play with your father in law?

[A]

Oh, yeah, I played like you did 11 holes.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I think that's the last time maybe, but I think I played with Danae Hayes one time after that, but I haven't played in months. Yeah, you've played?

[F]

Played a couple times by myself, but with other people. Yeah, I went by myself. They team me up with other people.

[A]

Do you like that? You don't mind that? You like hanging out with new people?

[F]

They got to be good, you know, they got to be nice people. And for the most part, I get teamed up with nice people.

[A]

But I'd rather. Dude.

[F]

The best case scenario, though, is to show up by myself and they say, go ahead, by yourself.

[C]

Love it.

[F]

Oh, yeah. Put music on if you're by yourself.

[A]

It's the best.

[F]

So good.

[A]

What's up this weekend? You on the Titans game?

[C]

Yeah. The Patriots game?

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

You're gonna go?

[A]

The Titans game?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Titans home game?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Patriots Titans game going. And I'm gonna bring the little ones. Guys five months old, no ticket needed. No two and under don't need a ticket.

[A]

So are you just doing that because you can't find a babysitter?

[C]

No, no, I want to bring them.

[F]

They're not gonna know what they're.

[A]

I know.

[C]

I don't care though. I want to be like. When they're like 10, I'll be like you guys. First game you're five months and you.

[A]

Lost to the Titans.

[C]

No, no, no.

[E]

Let's hope not.

[F]

Let's hope not.

[C]

Yeah, I'm pumped. My family is in town and we're Going my dad, brother, sister, the wife, the two babies. We're going. It's gonna be awesome.

[A]

I hope Patriots win.

[C]

I really hope they do too. Variables return. There's gonna be some very upset Titans fans there.

[A]

It's crazy. It's Rabel's return and they just fired the coach.

[C]

I know.

[A]

Like the same week they keep them since they. Since they fired Variable. Yeah.

[C]

The tickets are so cheap. It's great.

[A]

They're paying you to go.

[C]

Yeah. Come on down.

[A]

Well, yeah. Cowboys.

[F]

Cowboys play Washington in Dallas. 3 o' clock game should be a good game. I mean, those are the ones that we might, you know, we might surprise you and win.

[A]

Like see Arkansas plays Texas A and M on Saturday at 2:30. I don't know. I feel pretty good about it.

[F]

Yeah. You feeling good?

[A]

I feel pretty good about it.

[C]

Is that A and M, isn't it? No, it's all that Arkansas again.

[A]

This is the. This is the first year that we've not played at Jerry's World.

[C]

Oh, that's right.

[A]

Stupid years. We played there and it was cool for like the first two years. But yeah, now we're going home normal. So excited about that. I don't know. I might go. I don't know.

[F]

Oh. Oh, okay. See, I didn't know we were talking like that.

[A]

I thought I was gonna go last week. It's a little further to go to Fayetteville, obviously, than it is to drive down the road.

[F]

We've had this conversation a lot and.

[A]

I'm glad I didn't because we got whooped.

[F]

Correct.

[A]

Tennessee. I'm glad I didn't. Right down the road because we lost and then I lost after that with the cops. That's very bad day.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Maybe they're just waiting for me to come to win.

[F]

That's what it is.

[C]

This is the one it's going to depend on. My wife feels, hypothetically speaking, if would you on the field or no, you.

[F]

Would visit down the field, right? A little bit.

[A]

So it's a complicated situation. What do you want to know if.

[F]

You'Re going down to the field to watch some of the game. Right. That's the question. Right, Kevin?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And then I thought about field Storm, but then your wife said, never mind, you wouldn't even be.

[A]

She may not even go to the game. She could go with me over there and then not go to the game. I doubt she'd want to go to the game. I. If we went, she'd want to. She'd probably go over there. But our in law, our Like, DJ Is a coach at Arkansas softball. I would imagine if we do go, and she's had no interest in going. I've not even told her I wanted to go, that she'd just go to Grace's house.

[C]

Okay. During the game.

[F]

Well, you guys have the game.

[C]

During the game, you and DJ Go.

[F]

Sure.

[A]

Okay. I mean, DJ probably is, like, bringing recruits in and stuff, so.

[C]

That's true.

[A]

I have enough people there. Could I go on the field?

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Do I like going on the field? Sometimes? Yes. A lot of times I'll just sit up in a suite and watch a game, and that's cool, too. But for a year and a half, I've not been vocally supportive of the football leadership. Now, they did fire the coach, but I've not been. I. I was one of the first, like, normals to be. Hey, I don't think this is working to the point where I have another friend who's on a staff. As a staff member on one of the coaching staff. That's all I'll say. It's not D.J. one of the staff to be like, hey, are you, like, anti the football team?

[E]

Oh, no.

[A]

And so I think me being honest as a fan has rubbed some people the wrong way in the athletic department.

[F]

And you've never been anti.

[A]

I'm anti nothing.

[C]

I'm literally said, I'm pro.

[A]

Win. I just want to win.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You're like.

[C]

You're a real fan, but you have this platform.

[A]

I have a big platform, so it makes it awkward. Yeah. So I don't know. But it's also weird, too, because I donate a bunch of money and they don't. They're not really that nice to me anymore as I'm donating money, but there's no way. But I'm not donating money to be nice, or I would have stopped donating money.

[C]

Right.

[A]

If it was about them being nice to me, I would have stopped donating.

[F]

You're donating to win, baby. Yeah. Not winning, exactly.

[A]

Well, yeah, that's a whole different story. But yes. Yeah. So I don't know the answer to that. I got, like, my guy over there is Quinn. Quinn Grovey, who played quarterback at Arkansas, takes care of me. I don't even want. I don't want season tickets because I don't go enough every week. I'm just like, I think I'm gonna go, and I don't go, and that'd be a kind of a waste.

[F]

Then you gotta get ready.

[A]

So Quinn's awesome. And even though I was Going to Tennessee. He was like, hey, let's go before you get. Let's hang out before you get here. So love him. But, like, there's people there that aren't that warm to me because I have not been extremely state media, and that's a bit what they want. They want state media, meaning they want the media to reflect only positively about the organization.

[C]

So don't they know you.

[F]

You are real media.

[A]

I. I'm just. I'm just an idiot fan. That's all it is.

[F]

But there's no way, like, if you guys sat in a room or had dinner together, you guys would have the same beliefs, the same opinions about things. Like, I feel like you just like Kevin.

[A]

But the problem is that's their job, right? It's their job. Like, let's say that they. They go, hey, it's not just a head football coach. It's other people that are related to hiring the coach that we should also get rid of them.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

So it's the. So it's. They probably feel it. So it's an awkward situation at Arkansas.

[C]

I get that.

[A]

It is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I don't root anything but win, win, have more of my money. Here, have some more. Will it help? Have some more. But I don't know.

[F]

A scale, 1 through 10, how much do you enjoy being there in person? 10.

[A]

Well, hold on, because that was a quick answer. It's 10. That's my favorite place to be, period.

[C]

More than usually, I guess.

[A]

You're.

[E]

You're bigger.

[C]

Arkansas.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

If you were. Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Do we suck?

[E]

Yes.

[F]

Right now.

[A]

7. Are we pretty good if we're pretty good or above 10 if we're below average? 7.

[C]

But you guys, like.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I wouldn't even say you guys suck.

[C]

No. Like, there's some bad teams.

[A]

We lost to Memphis.

[C]

Your quarterback is damn good.

[A]

Yeah, he's awesome. We lost in Memphis. Yes. At Memphis. We're an SEC team. I know, but at least it's entertaining.

[F]

The games are entertaining to watch till the end.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Just.

[C]

Just leave.

[A]

Halfway through the fourth quarter, we almost always win. So. Yeah, I may go. I need to. Have to talk with my wife, see what she thinks about it. She may just be like, go and go, I'll see you later. Yeah, that's what's up. So.

[E]

All right.

[A]

We all good?

[F]

We're good, man. Yeah.

[A]

I don't have any headphones on, so Mike's music playing.

[C]

It is, right? Yep. All right.

[A]

Good luck to the Patriots.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Good luck to The Cowboys. You. I feel pretty good about this Arkansas game, and I know Texas A and M's top five team.

[F]

Yeah, they're good.

[A]

I'm feeling pretty good about it. And Bobby We Trust. And what's weird is I never say I know. Well, if you want it to be. It's weird to say my own name, though, even because you don't really say your own name ever.

[F]

That is weird.

[A]

It's weird.

[F]

Yeah. That's like if the Cowboys head coach was Eddie Somewhat.

[C]

Yeah, Something.

[F]

It'd be weird.

[A]

So in Bobby We Trust and I hope he performs, Opie wins for the next six or seven games and he gets a head coaching job. If he doesn't, that's fine, too. Like, I don't really have an interest. I just want to win.

[C]

So that.

[A]

That's where we are. All right, that's it. We'll see you guys Monday of next week. All right. Thanks to Larry Fitzgerald. Thanks to Reed most of all.

[F]

Oh, Reed.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Godspeed, guys. Got rubble falling on his head in his own house.

[F]

Got trouble everywhere. Outside, inside.

[A]

All right, thanks, guys. We'll see you later.

[E]

Bye.

[A]

Thank you. Theme song written by Bobby Bones.

[F]

That's me.

Hello, America's Sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from Smartless Media, Campside Media and Big Money Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist.

[D]

Kind of like Robin Hood, except for.

[A]

The part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

[E]

I'm not that generous.

[A]

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing.

[G]

They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.

[A]

So we're sitting like, oh, God, what do we do?

[E]

What do we do?

[A]

That was dumb.

[E]

People. Do not follow my example.

[A]
