Episode Overview

Hour 4 of The Paul Finebaum Show is a whirlwind of classic college football talk, deeply loyal (and sometimes feuding) callers, and humorous, personal digressions. The episode wraps up the day's debates on SEC teams, coaching hot seats, and playful drama among the program’s regular callers. Amid the rabid football fandom, Paul maintains his signature dry wit and deft control of the chaos, offering analysis when he can get a word in.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. A "Jail Bird" Hour: Caller Confessions and SEC Banter

• The hour opens with Vance from Georgia sharing a wild story about serving jail time after a youthful DUI and public indecency mistake (00:52 – 05:16), joining a show-long theme of callers relating brushes with the law—sometimes metaphorically, sometimes not.
• Paul jokes, "I am now disappointed when a caller rings us up and has not served any time in jail" (03:45), setting the irreverent tone.
• The recurring ribbing between callers is a backdrop for their football opinions—a running in-joke that those with a "record" have more credibility as SEC fans.

2. Coaches on the Hot Seat (North Carolina, South Carolina, Clemson, Colorado)

• There’s extended speculation about which college football coaches are in trouble—Frank Beamer (South Carolina), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), Lincoln Riley (USC), Mack Brown (UNC), and Luke Fickell (Wisconsin) are all discussed.
  • Notable Quote: "I think Lincoln Riley is probably an interesting one... he also has about four or five games that he could lose, all of them... Other than one season with Caleb Williams, it’s been pure garbage." – Paul Feinbaum (15:34)
  • On Shane Beamer: "That one surprised me because it really wasn't part of the subtext. But [Jordan Reed] was honest about it." – Paul Feinbaum (15:07)
• Deion Sanders is noted as being "no longer at the epicenter of the sport" but not endangered by his record—health is more the concern (06:43).

3. Caller Rivalries, Running Gags, and Hat Clubs

• Much of the episode is devoted to internal lore—callers roast each other over self-appointed “Black Hat” and “Pink Hat” club memberships, with various social hierarchies, alliances, and betrayals.
  • Notable Quote: “AJ ain't like the rest. He humps my leg the best.” – Dylan, quoting Jim from Tuscaloosa on the “Panama Jackass Club” (11:35)
  • Chris calls out Dylan: "He kissed enough ass to get a black hat. And all he had to do was keep his mouth shut." (13:06)
• The banter is reminiscent of a raucous family reunion, full of both affection and cutting sarcasm.

4. Chicken Ranch, Chickens, and More SEC Lore

• “Chicken Ranch” references are tossed around as stories, with Tex from Austin and Long from South Carolina using the subject to rib fellow callers and reference SEC culture.
  • Long’s Quip: "...Every time an egg got hatched that they had a stuttering chicken come out. And so they figured out the culprit...so they had to ostracize [Dylan].” (19:22)

5. SEC Predictions and Playoff Scenarios

• Several callers ask Paul to speculate on teams' 2026 seasons:
  • LSU (Lane Kiffin, first season):
    Paul: "Right now 9-3, 10-2 is somewhere where LSU comes in... They're going to have to beat somebody important... I think it will [make the playoff] this year." (28:58)
  • Tennessee (Josh Heupel):
    Paul: "If Tennessee can establish the quarterback very quickly... nine wins is doable. I would go maybe one game less." (33:05)

6. Shoutouts, Farewells, and Paul’s Mastery of Chaos

• Beloved or notorious show regulars (AJ, Handsome Joe, Legend, Old School, Gino) are referenced in in-jokes—often only partially about football.
• Sheila from Alabama welcomes Paul back and commends his work at SEC Media Days: "You were amazing. Had great interviews..." (29:33)
• Old School delivers a fiery rant defending callers’ honor, calling out others for shade and challenging detractors to confront him “man to man” in Mississippi (25:24 – 28:00).

---

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• Paul, deadpan, about hosting:
  "I think hosting this show is criminal enough. Don’t you?" (19:14)
• Caller humor:
  “It is so hot. You feel like you’re in Satan’s armpit.” – John (05:32)
• Long, with SEC one-liners:
  "A Panama jacket actually goes with a Don Johnson jacket...a black cat goes with Abraham Lincoln selfie on a five dollar bill." (19:22)
• Old School, passionate:
  "You’ll never make your life brighter putting a shade on another man. Mind your own damn business and stay in your damn lane. And if anybody’s got a problem with that, get your ass down here to Buckley, Mississippi and talk to me man to man. I’m out." (27:41)

the pride, passion and pageantry of college football lives here. This is the Paul Feinbaum Show. Our four podcasts this might be College

[Caller - John]

Football

[Paul Feinbaum]

Hour has arrived and always a great hour on this program. It starts with Vance in Georgia. Hey, Vance.

[Caller - Vance]

Hey, my friend. Real quick, Bass, come on, man, you know that Alabama is a football school. Don't, don't even, don't even dream that basketball stuff. It's horrifying, Paul, horrifying. I've heard these gentlemen call up about this, having to do stints in prison, whatever. And you know, I got my ass thrown in jail too.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Really?

[Caller - Vance]

In 19, in 1985. I've been to some establishment down in Buckhead and I'm riding up Roswell Road, you might know, I think you know where that is. That's why I'm mentioning that to you.

[Paul Feinbaum]

And, oh yeah, I know, I've heard of it.

[Caller - Mark]

And I.

[Caller - Vance]

It was about 3 o' clock in the morning and I had to take a leap. Bad, I mean, bad. So I pulled over in front of the gas pumps and the gas station right across the street was what we called the dunk and die, where we would have late night meals and stuff after being out carousing. And I piled in between two gas pumps and took a week. There's one problem. Right across the street was a police officer watching me do this. So I get arrested and charged with DUI and public indecency. Of course, you know, that can evoke a whole lot of visions. And I go to court. I go to court and this judge, he was, he was in a high. He did not like me, Paul. He was not happy. And that solicitor, he goes, well, this is Vance so and so. And he's charged with DUI and public indecency. Every head in that courtroom turned and stared straight at me. Oh God, this sucks. And the judge, he goes, I'm not happy with you. I said, I, yes, sir, I see that. He goes, well, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna get thousand dollar fine and 15 days in jail. When do you want to report to do your 15 days. This was late December. And I said, can I watch? I'd like to watch some bowl games. He slammed down that gave on and says, you jail on January 2nd. He goes, get this ass out of here. So I wasn't trying to make light of what these other gentlemen have been through. I just. I too have, shall we say, crossed the line. So I just wanted to share that with you.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah. By the way, I. I am now advanced. I'm now disappointed when a caller rings us up and has not served any time in jail.

[Caller - Vance]

Well, that's why I wanted to lob my hat into the ring.

[Paul Feinbaum]

And so did you serve the entire 15 days?

[Caller - Vance]

No, no, they. They let me go after 10 and a half. And the weird thing is I couldn't get into jail. And I was scared because there were no handles, there were no doorknobs. They were like deadbolt locks. And this large gentleman got out of a car. It was like 6:30 in the morning. And he, he's walking up, he's in a sheriff's uniform. I said, sir, I'm so and so and I'm here to do 15 days in jail. I left out the public indecency part. And he goes, well, you've come to the right place. And it turns out he was the chief of. He was the head guy of the jail. And, and they gave me the most coveted job in there, and it was delivering mail. So I got pretty lucky, but I didn't like it. So I can't imagine what some of these other gentlemen went through. I really can't. I can't imagine it. I put it this way. I think they're all a lot tougher than me. So that's all I can say. Paul, I just wanted to tell you that I'm on the list too, and they're all great.

[Paul Feinbaum]

You're in, you're in good company. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it, bra. Brian is up next in Tulsa. Hello, Brian.

[Caller - Tex]

Hello, Paul. Thank you for the vine. I hope you're staying cool.

[Caller - John]

Everybody stays cool out there. I mean, my God, Paul, it is so hot. You feel like you're in Satan's armpit. That's how hot it is right now.

[Caller - Old School]

Let me ask, speaking of hot, speaking

[Caller - John]

of a team that's in hot water right now in North Carolina.

[Caller - Old School]

Let me ask you this, Paul.

[Caller - John]

With all the money that they're getting making off the Jordan brand,

[Caller - Old School]

would you

[Caller - John]

think North Carolina would try to spend money to maybe get a signetti type of coach to come in there and do like, what Kurt Signetti did at Indiana. And number two, let's talk about. Coaches are in hot water right now, I would say. I think both coaches in South Carolina are in the water right now. One definitely is the South Carolina coach.

[Caller - Old School]

I forgot Beamer, but I think the

[Caller - John]

one that could end up getting fired, Paul, is, oh, Chris's little buddy, Dabo.

[Caller - Old School]

I don't think.

[Caller - John]

I don't think Dabo's going to survive or neither. Beamer, what do you think?

[Caller - Old School]

And also, Paul, do you think Deion

[Caller - John]

could be in deep water as well this year?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah, I mean, I think Deion's in better shape. Dion's issue isn't his one loss record, it's his health. He's made a good recovery. He says the difference is that Deion is just no longer at the epicenter of the sport like he was three years ago. And I'm sure that's affecting him. Long is up next in South Carolina. Hello, Long?

[Caller - Long]

Hello.

[Caller - John]

Hey, Long, you have a collect call from an inmate in Kirkland Correctional Facility in Columbia, South Carolina. Do you accept?

[Paul Feinbaum]

We do. Yes.

[Caller - Old School]

Pay Paul.

[Caller - John]

Welcome to pti. You're gonna, oh, Kornheiser and Wilbond some money with your prison talk inside today. This has been. Man, have I learned a lot. But the, the most, the biggest thing I've learned today, Paul, and I think you were kind of astonished too, when you heard it. Tim in Arkansas is an Arkansas fan.

[Caller - Chris]

Did you know that?

[Paul Feinbaum]

I didn't. No.

[Caller - John]

That was any clue. Tim, thank you for sharing that with us. And I got some good news for you. You need to go on to the, go on to that Google, the Google thing. Darren McFadden announced that he's coming back. Not this year, but, but next year for the 27th season. It's going to take you a while to find the story, but just keep looking for it, Paul. I mean, there has been so much that's happened. I just wanted to give a shout out to AJ and welcome him back again and just ask him if he got his white hoodie for this season. Auburn, of course. Yeah. And then I know it's summer, but there is romance in the air. Handsome down some. Joe has a major crush and I just couldn't get over the glee and, and just how excited he was about his, his new friend Sarge. And you know, I mean it.

[Caller - Old School]

This has the.

[Caller - John]

He wants Sarge to be his co pilot. I mean, it's so evident. I've never seen anything that Joe looks like he wants more. And I wish you the best, Joe, by the way, you owe me four boxes of Thin Mints. Finally, I'd like to give the topic of the week congrats to Dylan and his induction into the Pink Hat Club. Dylan, you're not going to believe this, dog. I seriously almost called in after your first call yesterday when you referenced the gentleman that had called in prior that obviously is terminally ill. And Dylan, that was a great call. And in that call, you specifically said, I'm not going to be silly or stupid. However, Dylan, guess what? You called in again. You know what? You weren't in that call. Silly. And finally, I have one question. Paul, can you answer this for me? When your boyfriend gets into the Pink Hat Club, does JD Get a T shirt that says, I'm property of a Pink hatter? I'll hang up and listen. Thank you.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Thank you very much. And when we come back, we'll have Dylan respond to that right here, right now. It is Wednesday on the show.

[Show Announcer]

You're listening to the Paul Fine Bomb show podcast.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Let's run out and talk to Dylan, who is up next. Good afternoon, Dylan.

[Caller - Dylan]

What's up, my black cat brother?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Hey there.

[Caller - Dylan]

First and foremost, I wanna, I wanna address that from South Carolina. You know, it's awfully good that he can read and write, otherwise he wouldn't have a call pretty much just, just throwing that out there. And you know, I'm, I'm real glad

[Caller - John]

that you

[Caller - Dylan]

clarified everything earlier with, you know, with Daryl calling in and everything. That does real good. And I, man, hit the nail on the head on that. But let me get, let me get to some business real quick. You know, I was on X scrolling, you know, like I do on my lunch break and everything. And well, Jim from Tuscaloosa posted something yesterday and he said that he was gonna start his own little club. And, and it is called the Panama Jackass Club. So his first member is aj well, you know, aj, I'm gonna tell you this right here, buddy. It's good to know who the followers and the leaders are of this little, you know, of the fine bomb show. It's really good that you know that and I know that now. But anyway, and, and Jim's motto is, AJ ain't like the rest. He humps my leg the best. And that's just how. And that's just how it is. But anyway, Paul, the dirtiest player in the game is out of here. And I would like to thank old school and everything for the congratulations and all that, but catch you later, Paul.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Thank you. Chris is up next from South Carolina.

[Caller - Chris]

Oh, the Dirtiest player in the game is straight trash, man. That man. What's wrong with him? He had the easiest track to success. He kissed enough ass to get a black hat. And all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.

[Caller - Mark]

Paul.

[Caller - Chris]

But every time he make a call, I can see that repo trouble backing up to the door to yank that thing off his head. Because the game massage can hatch. As soon as I gave it to him, his head blew up to a size 50 and quit being the top flight. Secured the world dealing. Why you don't need you to come in here and take up for him.

[Caller - Old School]

Nobody don't.

[Caller - Chris]

Dang,

[Caller - Tex]

Let it play out.

[Caller - Old School]

We're gonna sit back and wait. One thing.

[Caller - Chris]

I hope he didn't make a bad choice. Because one thing you think you draw a line in the sun when you draw a line in the sand you can't cross again. So I hope you made the right decision because, hey, he was on the fast track, too. But ain't no way Dylan's still coming

[Caller - Tex]

on this phone call.

[Caller - Chris]

Still got to show his face when I never thought I'd seen somebody get knocked out before they phone call. AJ lit him up yesterday and the man was stunned. He had to get off the phone. He choked.

[Caller - Vance]

He ain't built for prime time.

[Caller - Chris]

Play your role, Dylan. You ain't nothing. That black hat don't mean nothing.

[Caller - Old School]

They gave you one.

[Caller - Chris]

Have a nice day, Paul.

[Paul Feinbaum]

John is up next in Louisville. Hey, John.

[Caller - John]

Good afternoon. A pretty high misery level today with the mean girls, would you agree?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah, it's. It's way up there.

[Caller - John]

Hey, speaking of today's theme, Paul. Yes. I've been to the big house.

[Paul Feinbaum]

I got you.

[Caller - John]

I heard.

[Paul Feinbaum]

I understand.

[Caller - John]

Yeah. Football games and concerts. Hey, interesting discussion today with the prison talk and whether Alabama should be a basketball school and whether legend was ejected, forcefully removed or kicked out, whatever. But I did find interesting your first guest, Jordan Reed, I found he didn't mince words about Shane Beamer's poor coaching, that he should be on the hot seat. Do you agree?

[Paul Feinbaum]

That one surprised me because it really wasn't part of the subtext. But he was honest about it.

[Caller - John]

And he did pick Texas to win the national. And if they. The Natty. If they didn't, he would consider that a gross failure as well. But, Paul, what coaches should be on the hot seat this year? Maybe the two schools with USC as initials and maybe North Carolina. Who do you have on your hot seat for coaches?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah, I think Lincoln Riley is probably an interesting one because once again, Lincoln has been Able to convince the media that he's got a great team coming back. He does. He also has about four or five games that he could lose. All of them. And I don't know what the appetite is out there. I mean, they got their golden boy, they got the guy that everybody wanted. And I think other than one season with Caleb Williams, it's been pure garbage.

[Caller - John]

I agree. Any other schools?

[Paul Feinbaum]

The Beamer one's a little harder to quantify because that will be easy. I mean, if he has a bad season, there's no saving him. He can survive with what you and I may not think is a great season, but the South Carolina standards are different.

[Caller - John]

Yeah. But obviously North Carolina coaches is all but gone. Would you agree?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah, I don't think that's. I think it's a matter of how it, how they get through the Lombardi issue because, I mean, he was the most critical hire that Belichick made and, you know, if they end up 500, I don't see any appetite to save him. You're just wasting time. And that's a, that's a job you can get a good coach for. It's one of, It's a, it's a score you can win.

[Caller - John]

Yeah. The last one is one of your old friends, the Wisconsin coach. What do you think?

[Paul Feinbaum]

I guess we're talking about Bwam. I mean, I, I just.

[Caller - John]

No, no, no, that's still

[Paul Feinbaum]

okay. I'm sorry. Luke Fickle is what you mean. Luke Fickle is probably going to get fired. Yeah, he. I mean, what's interesting about Luke Fickle? I mean, I think he could have had the Notre Dame job four or five years ago. This guy was in such a great position at Cincinnati and he just took the wrong job.

[Caller - John]

By the way, Paul, did you notice that Jordan Reed did not bring up Sourceby in the NFL draft?

[Paul Feinbaum]

I didn't pick up on that, but that was very interesting.

[Caller - John]

Yeah. Good show. A lot of topics today. And I'll stay out of jail,

[Paul Feinbaum]

thank you. You need to do that. How about Tex in Austin is up next.

[Caller - Tex]

Hello. Hello, my friend.

[Caller - Long]

Hey there.

[Caller - Tex]

Then it's been about six months since we talked and I'm driving to Houston today from Austin and I just stopped off in lagrange, Texas. Was wondering if you knew about the Chicken Ranch for a number of years

[Caller - John]

a while back

[Paul Feinbaum]

now.

[Caller - Vance]

Yeah.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Are you talking about Chicken Ranch in relation to the Texas A and M game?

[Caller - Tex]

Yes, exactly.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yeah, I've, I, I've seen the movie. I know the story.

[Show Announcer]

You're listening to the Paul Fine. Bomb show podcast.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Well, I don't know. I think I could just volunteer. I think. I think hosting this show is criminal enough. Don't you?

[Caller - Long]

Absolutely. If you can handle that, you could be the warden. But no, you know, Paul, I'm so glad that that guy brought up the. About the Chicken Ranch, because, you know, you do realize, Dylan, he got kicked out of the Chicken Ranch. They kept on wondering why every time an egg got hatched that they had a stuttering chicken come out. And so they figured out the culprit, and so they had to ostracize him and send him on his way. But, you know, one thing about that black cat. You know, first of all, Jim from Tuscaloosa, I personally asked you cordially, would you please start calling back into the show and bring some heat to the show like you always have brought and make it interesting. Make. Make Firebomb fun again, you know what I mean? Campaign. Because I accept that Panama Jack hat. Because a Panama jacket actually goes with a Don Johnson jacket. It actually fits. You know what a black cat goes with, Paul? It goes with Abraham Lincoln selfie on a five dollar bill. That's how old and out of style that is. So all these black hatters, y' all got something prestigious that they're actually doing away with. A cashless society. So y' all gonna be obsolete before too long anyway. So y' all can put that in your old pipes and smoke it and sit down, Dylan, because you over there, all they just needed you to do is shine their shoes and get the dog hair off their hats over there. I bet you can do that with your fingers. And I'm telling you this too, Paul, you know who's in prison? I got a confession. John from St. Louis is in prison. That's why he's not calling. They put him in the box. They're gonna let him out probably in a couple more weeks.

[Caller - John]

Wardam Eagle.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Thank you. Expired is up next.

[Caller - Tex]

Here they come, Paul. Here they come, Paul. Here they come. Just like roaches. Just like roaches every year. It doesn't matter how much you spray, Paul. In the summertime, them big, big, giant yard roaches, they come underneath the little crack in your door and you find them, you're like, what the hell? Where in the hell are they coming from? Paul, do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Not totally.

[Caller - Tex]

The Texas fans. Here comes Tex. Okay, yeah, they're climbing in. We're gonna be nine and two. I guess one of the games got washed out by a hurricane.

[Caller - Mark]

I don't know.

[Caller - Tex]

Maybe a tornado. I don't know what the hell's gonna happen, but they're going nine and two. Well, hell, I think you're probably going 93. But that's just me, Paul. But I'm telling you right now. Where's Manuel at? You know, he's. He's trying to fit. He's so fat, he's trying to fit under the door, and he can't fit under the damn door. Paul, coming from it ain't no telling. He's probably coming from the damn ceiling. Here they come. All stupid crap. Peyton Manning last year was a fraternity guy. This year, what the hell is he? I don't know. It's probably gonna be pretty good. He looked pretty good at the end of the year. But you know what, Paul? They ain't one nothing, okay? That's why we play the damn games. And if you think that Tennessee, Oklahoma and A and M, and you can throw them in a box and shake them up and think they're all the same team and they're going six and five, you're extremely bigger idiot than I ever thought, Tex. And by the way, Tex, Chicken Ranch. That's the only good thing you said in your whole damn conversation. We need to have a damn petition to bring it back. Paul. I'll be a frequent visitor, maybe not

[Caller - Old School]

miss this fine ball. Might not let me.

[Caller - Tex]

But anyways, Paul, you have a great day and giggle.

[Paul Feinbaum]

John, who's probably been to that Chicken Ranch or at least saw the Dolly Parton Burt Reynolds movie. John is up next.

[Caller - John]

Hello, Paul, how are you?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Good evening, John.

[Caller - John]

Paul? Paul, can you hear me? Paul, are you there? Can I talk?

[Paul Feinbaum]

Yes. Yes, John. I'll repeat again. You over copy. Over and out.

[Caller - John]

I'm not over and out. I want to tell AJ AJ I am alive and well. I've had some challenges this summer, but one of the challenges I don't have is your asinine calls. Quite frankly, A.J.

[Caller - Tex]

you need to drink more coffee because you're stunted. Like a little baby boy. Like Baby Huey. And good night, Paul.

[Caller - Sheila]

Over and out.

[Paul Feinbaum]

My, have we missed that for the last six weeks? Thank you. Why don't we take a break? It's been a rather contentious final. 45 minutes. A few minutes remaining here on a Wednesday. We'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

You're listening to the Paul Feinbaum show

[Paul Feinbaum]

podcast and welcome back. Couple of minutes remaining and Candace is in Nashville. Good afternoon.

[Caller - Candace]

Good afternoon, Paul. Hey, I just had some possible solutions with the chicken. With the Chicken Ranch. Can use the chicken Manure to plant some green beans around these pole flock cameras. And personally, I like the rattlesnake beans better than the blue lake beans. I'll never plant blue lake beans again. Kentucky Blue Lake.

[Caller - John]

No.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Thank you for the call. Old school is up next. Good afternoon.

[Caller - Old School]

Well, there's 30 seconds in my life I'll never get back. Let me address a few things. And I need some. I need some. I need some. I need some legend time because I ain't called in here in about four months. Because I've been working my ass off down here. But some of the stuff that's going on is just. Is as it makes me want to blow a damn fuse. Number one, you know what? Russia. You know what? You know what I've been taught me? He taught me a very good lesson. Just listen. Just listen. Just listen. You know what you ought to do, Darrell, down in Georgia is listen. You know why, Darryl, you don't have to go to a damn college to get a journalist degree? I've been storm chasing for the last 20 years. And I've got. I've got. I am a photojournalist under the science and technology. You know why? Because I sent in videos. I had people like spoke up for me. This. People like that's been in the business for years and years and years. I'm a photojournalist. So you don't know what the hell you talking about. Now let me address this too. Let me address the two weirdest colors on this damn show. Let me tell you something, Long. That was a low damn blow what you did to aj. See, he don't have to ask your forgiveness, bro. If he's right with God, that's all he's got to do. We don't have to ask you. And when it comes to you, Gino, I'll tell you what I'll do. You two. You two want to be so relevant when you call. You're not relevant, bro. You're not a relevant caller. All you do is talk about other people. And you know what, bro? You know what you're reading. So let's do this. I'm sure Paul can put us both in the paint. I'm sure he can put us in paint. On zoom, zoom up. Let me see your face, bro. Let me see you too, Gino. They want to talk all that crap. And then you're going to attack Handsome Joe. You're gonna attack Handsome Joe and my friend Bob that served in the damn military. That, that is. That, that, that is, that is protecting everybody. Get it right Pal. And let me say lastly about legend. Legend and tip keepers are my damn friends. They will always be my friends, period. Okay? Let me tell you something else. I'm a happy for legend. I thought he did a damn good job interviewing down there. Why isn't everybody's gotta be want to put a shade on another man's life thinking you gonna make your damn life brighter. You'll never make your life brighter putting a shade on another man. Mind your own damn business and stay in your damn lane. And if anybody's got a problem with that, get your ass down here to Buckley, Mississippi and talk to me man to man. I'm out.

[Caller - Mark]

Whoa.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Let's check in with Mark next in Baton Rouge. Hello, Mark.

[Caller - Mark]

Hey, Mr. Paul, thanks for taking my call, man.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Listen, thank you.

[Caller - Mark]

I'm smart. I'm smiling from ear to ear this year, Mr. Paul. Because the last time I called was able to get through was in 2019. And in 2019, we all know what happened. My other two tigers won a national championship. But with that being said, Mr. Paul, I'mma ask this question. I'mma hang up and let you answer. I know a lot of football games are not. Well, no football game is one on paper, it's one on the field. So in your eyesight as of today, what's a realistic outlook for my LSU Tigers in year one? On the coach Lane Kiffin, do you see 10 wins or under? And if we finish the season nine and three, do you see my Tigers making the playoffs? With that being said, thanks for taking my call. Mr. Paul and his GDT.

[Caller - John]

Go Damn Tigers. Thanks, Paul,

[Paul Feinbaum]

Mark, thank you. I think right now 9, 3, 102 is somewhere where LSU comes in. I don't know whether 93 makes it, but I think it will this year. LSU has a difficult schedule. They're going to have to beat somebody important. They could lose a game on the road and I think still get away with it. Hey, thank you very much for the call. Great question. Great to have you back. Sheila is up next. Hello, Sheila.

[Caller - John]

Woo wee.

[Caller - Sheila]

Paul,

[Caller - Tex]

I'm so glad to have you back.

[Caller - Sheila]

I missed you so very much. I so missed you. But I was listening to you the whole time. Great job on the trail in the SEC days, media days, you were amazing. Had great interviews. I want to say shout out to coach. Go, Lesh, go. We're going to be in the mix. I don't know at the top of

[Caller - Tex]

the mix, but we're back.

[Caller - Sheila]

And if it's not true, you know I'm going to be the first to Say something. So welcome back to you. I had to say that. But we, what are we doing? I don't ever stay gone old school for four months. I, I, I love old school. He's the honorary sister in the state of Alabama. He comes here, we love him. But wow, four months. No way. And then, I don't know. Let's go in the shade room for just a moment, Paul, because you are the master of the shade room. Man. You just throw some shade every day and the people don't get it. But whoever said the Backstreet Boys reject you.

[Caller - Tex]

That is funny.

[Caller - Sheila]

And then there was the one that said you Miami Vice wearing, jacket wearing. What are we doing?

[Caller - Old School]

What?

[Caller - Sheila]

This is football, folks. Get over it.

[Caller - Tex]

Be, be, be cordial.

[Caller - Sheila]

Everybody hates Chris, but I like Chris. I like Mount Brook Chris for sure. I like that Mountain Brook Chris. And I love our South Carolina Chris. And then there's John.

[Caller - Tex]

Why?

[Caller - Sheila]

But now I gotta throw much shade. No disrespect, my girl.

[Caller - Chris]

No disrespect.

[Caller - Sheila]

Candace, help us all out. Just, just, just let it go, baby. Let it go. Paul, the eagle has landed. Welcome home. Please don't stay away so long. These folks get crazy out.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Tony is up next in Virginia. Hello, Tony, Good afternoon.

[Caller - John]

Hey, Mr. Fine Bomb, how you doing?

[Caller - Jay]

Great.

[Caller - John]

Long time listener, first time caller.

[Caller - Old School]

Hello.

[Paul Feinbaum]

That's fantastic.

[Caller - Old School]

Hey, I just want to know, I

[Caller - John]

see a lot of video. Is Willie really on the wagon or they just doing a YouTube stunt? Not football topic. But since Willie's a big Bama fan, he said he's not going to drink until the tide gets filled. So do you have any perspective?

[Paul Feinbaum]

I don't, I don't know. I don't. I mean, I know who he is and I've talked to him before. I don't know his current psychological condition. Thank you for the call. Jay is up next in Tennessee. Hello, Jay.

[Caller - Jay]

Good morning. Good afternoon, Mr. Pine Bomb. I'm thankful that you let me thank you on this day because it's such a wonderful, pleasant, sweet day. I am not been in prison. I am an old guy. I'm almost 80 years old. I appreciate my coach who is Josh Hypo.

[Caller - Vance]

I'm wondering.

[Caller - Jay]

Oh, by the way, I'm going to miss Laura Rutledge. I'm going to miss her. I'm a Tennessee fan. I have been. I have been for.

[Caller - Old School]

Thank you.

[Caller - Jay]

Yes, I have been for years and years and years. I've been disappointed along the way a few times. I hear this year that we possibly might sneak in and have a 93 season is there any possibility that you see from that? And again, thank you so much for taking my call.

[Paul Feinbaum]

Thank you, Jay. I think if Tennessee can establish the quarterback very quickly get through some of those early games that are problematic, nine, nine wins is doable. I would go maybe one game less. Thank you very much for that call though. We'll leave it here.
