Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Volume. Yo, what's going on y'all? And welcome into
a special episode of Snaps. As this is a big one, folks.
As I get my windows in order here, I hope
(00:22):
you're all having a wonderful day. I am t BA
baby Bear. He is Aaron Murray and this is Snaps,
a college football podcast, produced and hosted and put together
by the Volume Papa Colin Cowherds Podcast Network, which of
course you can find great shows like Club Shaysha and
(00:44):
All you Know Nightcap and all the other excellent Shannon
Charp Cotton everything else they got going on there. Now
I say a very special show because in case you
missed it, this will be our final Snaps episode under
the Volume banner. Now we told you the other day. Okay,
(01:04):
it's like the old wolfle Wall Street meme. We ain't
going anywhere. Okay, Snaps will continue. In fact, we won't
even be taking a break. We will still be going
live next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. And maybe we're even
adjustice schedule even more based on how we want to
do it. But but we are no longer going to
be partnered with the Volume. So today we're gonna look
(01:27):
back on the last couple of years, because what a
fantastic time. It has been a lot of good memories
that met a ton of great people. As I said
the other day, literal life changing experience for me personally,
certainly being here with the volume. And we'll talk about
what comes next and kind of what to expect if
you enjoy the show in ways that you can help
(01:49):
us out. So what up? Will Ben goat dog? George
General lines? What's happened? Everybody? We got? Emerald lines, Let's
go STEP's best, most entertaining pono cooegeul But we love you, Emerald,
thank you, but share it with your friends. Aaron, what's
up man Master's Day for you?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Dude, I'm feeling so good. I wish I was. I
wish I was in AUGUSTA. Damn it Georgia for putting
your spring game on Master's weekend. But somewhat kidding, but
I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
To be I mean, no, you're not kidding. So I'm
happy to be a little bit again about it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I know not I'm happy to be coined the game.
I'm just not happy that it's on the same weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Are you You know what I mean? You did seem
actually very genuinely excited to call the l SHU spring
game last year, I.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Did so Mexicans Maravitas.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That was one of the worst pictures I've ever taken
in my life. My titties were popping in that white
shirt that it took with you and Jake. That that
made me, I think. I think Actually, like a day
or two after that was when I was like, I
should start like fast maybe uh no, not working out, bitch, Okay,
I already was working out, but I did that. That
picture of my titties did cause me to tighten up
(03:01):
the diet a little bit, which is, you know, that's
you have to have those low moments to inspire change. Sorry, now,
what were you saying about Dusty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Dusty's gonna be on the call there so for he
may be hitting you up. So uh okay, cool fellow shoe.
Oh no. I like spring games are fun because it's relaxing.
And every spring game that I've called, I've been given
access to be on the field. Yeah, like behind the quarterback,
(03:28):
so I'm literally you know, because you know, the head
coach is usually hovering somewhere around ten yards behind. Yeah,
so I get to hang out with the coach do
a little bit of interview watch it so it feels
the adrenaline's a little bit more spiked up, kind of
seeing the view from behind the quarterback, in which I
enjoyed doing so. Sure, I like that aspect. If it's
a little bit more relaxed, you get to know, you know,
(03:48):
get get get to kind of hang out with the
guys a little bit more. So I enjoy it once.
I just wish it was not on a time when
I would be, you know, either in AUGUSTA or sitting
on my couch drinking a beer watching the Masters.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh this is pretty cool. Look at Maroni laying music
in the chat. I was out of town playing music
with Emerald allonce at an Eclipse music festival. Had no
service back at it, steps, Well, what's up? That's cool dude.
So the SAMs community, former relationships within Simeo's music, I'd
love to listen. I mean, you think you're pissed, Aaron.
We always talk about how just brutally awful it would
(04:21):
be to be a college football coach, maybe especially an assistant.
Although you're going to make way more money than everybody.
It's like, can you enjoy the money being an assistant
at Georgia. I would imagine basically guarantees you can get
access to the Masters if you want, And so you
are quite literally losing one of your biggest perks for
(04:42):
a day that, to be honest, you probably don't really
give a fuck about, Like the practices of any game
have meant way more to you than does the Spring
game itself. And now even though you're grinding film twenty
four to seven, you're calling eighteen hundred, you're in high
school kids a week You just want one weekend where
(05:03):
you can take advantage of your status, and it's ruined
by having to go between the hedges.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
My boy, Bobo, and this is rumors, Boba, do not
tell me this, but I did hear from some people
that he was going to go to Berkman's on Sunday.
And that doesn't seem like it's to be happy because
he's gonna be entertaining high school kids. Let me let
me pose this. Do any coaches like the spring game
or is it just to me? I've always thought of
as it is for the fans. This is the opportunity
(05:30):
for the fans to get in the stadium, get a
peek player. Some of the mid year in row leagues,
maybe see a couple, you know, freshmen that red shirt
the year before. But from like a coaching standpoint and
from a player standpoint, the only thing I was saying
about is like, can we just get in, get out,
stay healthy. And then Saturday night post spring is like
(05:50):
a big party, like we're about to have some fun now.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah. Well, and and it's one of those things where
the yeah because ironically it because it is so public,
you can't actually do the work that you want to
do right, Like it's it's a situation where you don't
want to show anything because it's off season preparation. Like
maybe you have a player or a package, or you're
(06:16):
leaning into a new system that you really like. You're
not gonna see any of that come Saturday. You're gonna
see very basic formations defensively, very basic calls offensively. Now
I will say this, I will see this. You can
glean info on an individual standpoint, right, and it's not
(06:37):
always the most accurate because some guys will fall off
as it gets mentally more complicated. But like if you
have a guy and he's just out there and just
a base pass or situation and he's dominating the tackle, well,
that's a pass rusher. Maybe you can start to get
a bit excited about if you're a running back and
you take a power like sixty seventy eighty yards, that's
going to make you excite your receiver. You're big, one
(07:00):
hand to catch in the corner of the end zone.
Like these are all still well earned plays, and because
there are fans in the stands, players are going hard.
It's just that the coaches aren't necessarily trying to manipulate
the situation as much to put you in a position
to succeed as you would in a true game day.
Like I remember, for me trying to become a starter,
it would have been my resort sophomore year or no no, sorry,
(07:23):
rechard freshman year, spring retro fresh going into retort sophomore.
That spring game actually ended up giving me a ton
of confidence because we dialed back all the mental stuff.
It was easy to make the calls and I played
very well, and I carried that forward into fall with
me and talking to my coaches after the fact, it
actually did help inspire confidence in them as well that
(07:45):
I maybe could be a legitimate starter for that team.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well it's not listen, it's not a game, the atmosphere like,
let's let's be real, like it's not you know, for
Athens or LSU this weekend, there's not ninety two hundred
thousand people in the stadiums for these games. Sometimes you
get that, you know, we see in Alabama do that.
We've seen Georgia, we've seen Sara in universities really pack
out a stadium for a spring game. But it's still
more than what you get on an average practice. You're
(08:08):
playing in your stadium in front of your fans, and
I guess it does give you somewhat of a gauge
of who is what I always like to call a
BP player a batting practice player. A guy that goes
out there and does really well at VP and hits
it home run after one, but you put them in
a game like situation, he can't hit the curveball. Guys
react differently in a game situation than they do practice.
(08:33):
My lights are on and there's fans in the stands,
and mom and dad are there, and your girlfriend's there,
and you're trying to maybe impress or do too much,
or your butt gets a little bit puckered up compared
to normal practice. Now do you react this is a
closer situation than a normal practice to that. So you
do get a little bit of a feel like who
can truly show out and who are the true performers
(08:57):
that do take their game to another level in front
of the fans.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And you look at this sweet chest dot com shut
I got by the way, dude, and you you also
it's the little things too, right, Like you said, you're
in the stadium, and I remember for me it was
the first time where I had ever played football where
I could look up at the jumbo tron and like
see the replay of the play and be like, oh shit,
(09:20):
look at that, like I just did that, or ooh
that could have been better. And so there are little
fun quirks, but again it's something kind of world changing.
But there is some value there. It's maybe just in
light of having to skip the Masters, that value feels
a little less than I think Alabama is Alabama gonna
put ninety k in? I mean don't they normally? I
don't know. I mean under Kaylin de Bor, I would
(09:42):
imagine do.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You think bands are excited for the spring game in Alabama?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean they already pack out a day generally, don't
they like elish fans never win. I've always feel like
it was maybe like fifteen to twenty k if that LSU.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Last year, there was only one side of the stadium,
lower Bowl that they set people in. Correct.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's
not it's it's not very big. Generally, there's like baseball
going on that people want to go to, and just
other spring sports that people are into.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you think do you think Alabama fans are they
excited for the change or are they kind of already
mentally preparing themselves for a possible drop this upcoming season,
so you may not see the enthusiasm in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
For the game. No, I already think that Alabama fans
are masturbatory about their spring game attendance, Like they love
being like we fucking pack it out because we give
a damn right. And so when you combine that with
a with a coaching change, I expected to be pretty
damp full, if not completely full. I feel like that's
(10:52):
something that they kind of hang their hat on, if
you will. Fox is televising their house state spring game,
and look, you know, the TV partners love getting a
little excuse to talk about football and put football on
the TV, and it's okay. Where where's this other question
I wanted to get to? Do you think spring street
ball games are worth it to go to as a fan?
(11:14):
I was thinking about driving a Happy Valley on Saturday.
But I'm on the fence about an hour and a
half drive. Hmm, Well, I gotta be honest, I don't
know that I would do an hour and a half
drive unless you just want to go to campus and
make a day of it, and you have other stuff
you want to do. Maybe want to go to the restaurant. Yes,
you bring the kids, Like, great for the kids because
it's gonna be way more chill, so they can run
(11:35):
around and and they're not really always going to discern
like what's the real stressful time?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, you're you're not. I agree, Like I think it's
a good family day. So if you do have kids,
or you want to go relax or say you went
to that university, I mean hill in the South, the
weather's gonulda be perfect. It's gonna be seventy eighty degrees sunny.
It's like to be on in Athens or in Tuscaloosa,
or you know, ban Rouge or any of these other
schools in the southeast have their springs. Is we can
you get great weather, you get the walk around campus,
(12:04):
go downtown, get some food, hang out, and you get
to go watch a game where you're not fucking stressed.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Like, yeah, just enjoy football without worrying about any sort
of consequence.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, just watch the things fly around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
See, but the thing is too though to be clear,
like Appens is one of the cooler towns to go to,
Like that might be worth an hour long drive just
because you want to go hang out in Athens. I
can't speak to Happy Valley. I can't. I mean, I
don't know that I think that Baton Rouge would be
worth it. But maybe I've just you know, lived here
too long and so it's familiar to me where I
they did it. Like I wouldn't drive to New Orleans
for a spring game.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Though you're saying from New Orleans to ben Rouge.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't think I would do either. Even if the
city I was going to was New Orleans, I still
wouldn't go if I wasn't having to cover it, uh
for work. But yeah, better parking to ben concerts, absolutely,
which is why I don't get the A day thing,
because fuck me, we are not getting me to deal
with ninety thousand people worth the logistics to go watch
a spring game, although again this year with Kaalin Depoor.
(13:07):
If there ever was a year, this would be it. Okay,
there's a few different stories to get to, and then
we'll get into some of our favorite moments from the
past and what comes next for Snaps. First off, we
said it when we talked about a couple days ago.
We said it was firmly in the rumored department. We
were essentially in the junior high bathroom spreading gossip, and
(13:30):
appears the gossip is unfounded, as a USC defensive tackle
Bear Alexander came out yesterday and said he is not
transferring and that he is looking forward to winning a
national championship at USC. So sorry to LSU fans and
all those other defensive tackle hungry fan bases out there,
(13:51):
Bear Alexander not going to be an option.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, that's unfortunate, especially for LSU who really really really
needed him to hit the mark. There'll be plenty of
other guys that do hit the market. I think this
was it was an interesting move because I don't think
either of us are high on USC this year. I
don't think either of us think that US is a
true contender in the Big ten. And we saw the
(14:14):
win lost total. I think we showed the graphic the
other day. They're like, what are I'm at seven to
eight market?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah they're right, yeah, like six point seven or six
point and they're right under seven.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So, like, you know, I don't know what his true
motives are. Is his motives at IL Was there maybe
some more dollars that he was trying to get out
of USC too, or the collective or whoever there to
keep them there? Like was that the main goal? Because
if it was to win a championship, I think he
kind of knows that that's a long shot there at
Southern Cal. But there's also the.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Long shot at LSU. It's a long shot at ten,
I mean, but it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Closer at LSU than it is that they are. Or
you go to manage, you could go somewhere and I
know you're just wanting LSU, but you could go somewhere
and put yourself up for an opportunity to now make money.
But what a championship. But I do think for an
overall narrative standpoint, this is a kid that transferred multiple
times in high school. I believe that already transferred once
(15:11):
in college transfer again, this would have.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Been his left would have been his seventh transfer in
seven years had he actually transferred.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't open that there. It sits well in the NFL.
I'm just gonna throw it out there.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
A lot of people saying that this is just a
play to in the chier now, that this is just
a play to get more money, you know, cynically, I
wouldn't doubt that. Also, the rumors were never uber concrete, right,
like maybe some displeasure was voiced and then uh, it
(15:46):
kind of spun out of control, Like I'm not one
thousand percent convinced that he got more money or that
he did this just for more money, although I'm not
naive enough to say that he didn't. Also, so we
don't know. So I guess all that does matter is
the actual fact the matter, which is bear Alexander saying
he is staying put at USC, which is big for
Danton Lynn and that entire USC defensive staff as they
(16:09):
look to try to write what was an awful defense
last year, better than Elshoes, but an awful defense nonetheless. Okay,
he says, rest in peace to usc legend O J. Simpson.
(16:30):
It's very dom cleman energy in terms of framing that O. J.
Simpson passed away. He died right before, in terms of
when it was announced that he passed his family a
couple of hours ago, right at the end of My
morning show, putting out there that at age seventy six,
O J. Simpson has passed away from cancer. It's weird
(16:51):
to talk about. I was a kid during all the
Murder Trier stuff. I remember exactly where I was when
the Bronco chase was going down. I would probably be
more willing to be nice to OJ or maybe give
him some sort of bit of it. Doubt had he
not chosen to later write a book called If I
(17:11):
Did It that then went step by step how he
would have murdered these two people he's alleged estimers like
that's pretty fucked up, Like that's that's that's pretty fucking awful.
And uh and so the jokes are indeed popping off
right now in regards to uh to O J. Simpson.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But uh, there's there's a handful of events that you
will remember if you're kind of ye, I would say,
right around our age.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And older and all.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, especially if you're a sports fan in this uh,
this definitely being one the white Bronco.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Uh, it does make me want want to rewatch OJ
Made in America. I haven't seen that in many years.
Maybe the best thirty for thirty documentary there has ever made.
Uh right there with the you though you dealing with
much less serious uh top kind of subject see sports.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
What did it mostly have to do with that the incident?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, it's it's it's mainly about uh. I mean, I
guess it encapsulates all of it, but it's mainly about
the crime. Yeah, you obviously have his his football background
as the background of who he was and kind of
this being this superstar, But no, it's about It's about
the crime. How you kind of lean into racial tensions
as well some other interesting strategies to get out of
(18:26):
said crime. It's worth a watch if you have never
seen it before. Chances well he did a good job
and naked gun Yeah, I mean he was like America
spokesman for for a bit there. It did give us
this though one of the greatest Norm McDonald jokes of
all time. This is at the SP's back in I
(18:47):
guess it's the late nineties because Charles Woodson hit the
tape there and.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
There's Charles Woodson. How about that I don't want to season. Yeah,
I became the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.
Congratulations Charles.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
That is something that no one can ever take away
from you unless you kill your wife and a waider,
in which case, before we can begin heaving.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Out of a word secon oh my god god. Also, the
the it's it's it's even a bit funnier in the
context of Reggie Bush's Heisman also being taken away, because that,
(19:45):
like that joke can be expanded to like, yeah, the
only way to get taken away is if you murder
your wife, waiter, or you writ a home for your mother.
I mean it is look the Heisman, the Heisman Trust has,
let you know, and the ins like we're drawing a
line in the sand. You cannot murder and you cannot
get affordable housing for your mother and help you out
(20:07):
your family. Uh, based off of your incredible talent and
all the money you're making everybody around you. Those are
the two things we just cannot original.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
All right, let's let's with with the the the Manzell
push coming out with Like you know, when we were
talking about if if Manzel gets to keep his for
blatantly telling everyone that yes, I was, I received money,
why I was that call in college station? Do you
think Reggie gets back? Like we'll talk like, does Reggie
get the heisman back? Eventually?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Zach says, those are equal crimes in my eyes. Does
Regie get it back? Uh? He he, I mean, this
is one of those things that it's like.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's so uh, you can't say, you what would ever
admit or atleast go to the effort to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We talked about a couple of weeks ago, and I
think I and I stand by this. I said, this
is objectively probably the single dumbest thing in all of sports,
Like go even beyond like the steroid gatekeeping of the
Baseball Hall of Fame pit, all this towards the shit, Like,
(21:15):
the single dumbest thing I can fathom is Reggie Bush
not having his heisman, not just because nobody is morally
or ethically offended by him by what he did, right,
just getting maybe some benefits and whatnot. But really, because
if you accept Reggie Bush's punishment as just, then you
(21:35):
have to believe that every other Heisman winner and history
never got any benefits, never got a meal, never got
a car, never got any homes, never got any of
this shit. And then you have guys like Manziel actively
out there talking about everything they did get. So it
is so fucking dumb. It's dumber than Pete Rose. It is,
it is, it is again, it is, I think, the
dumbest thing in all the sports. So I don't know
(21:58):
how to answer will he get it back? Because I
can't fathom that he already doesn't have it back? Like, like,
that's what I can't wrap my head around.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What's more likely to happen then going back and taking
Manziel's away or them giving Reggie his back.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I mean, Menzel's got on this show and said I
was getting paid and this is how I duped. Like
he lied, he.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Lied, OJ he didd except he's just saying I did
do it, and I did hold this narrative.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I mean I remember talking about like, oh, man tell
he comes from money. That's why he's able to go
to Vegas and party and do this and that, like
it's not the fact that he's getting paid. He comes
from like this oil family money, and they're like, no,
we created that fucking narrative like that was not true. No,
like saying he's like from the other side of the truck.
He came from a good family, but like not that
kind of money family. So he lied to you. He
(22:52):
literally lied to the and created this false life so
that he could.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Get Okay, so all this money, and in terms of
what's more likely, though I do agree with you or
I don't agree, I think it has to be more
likely that Reggie gets his heisman back for two reasons. First,
the NCAA is feckless right, they can't enforce shit anymore.
It doesn't seem like all of this would maybe be
one area in which they legally could. But also giving
(23:19):
Reggie his heis and back is such a pr win.
That's what I don't understand about all this. Nobody is
going to be upset if you do it. All people
are gonna say is yeah, okayrats, goddamn time exactly. So
I have to fad and that he'll get it back eventually.
But we will see so O. J. Simpson dead at
(23:41):
age seventy six, Bear Alexander not transferring, and uh, another
random little bit here, Uh did you see the uh
did you see Northwestern football? Maybe the surprise Store. We
didn't talk a lot about him last year, but probably
the big surprised in all of college football full stop, right,
(24:03):
I mean Pat Fitzgerald was supposed to be that school's
greatest coach. Ever, he was turning in garbage for the
last couple of years, really three the last four years,
just absolute garbage. And yet when they lost him, it
was still like, oh my god, that's the best you're head.
Northwest sucks. A're not gonna be shit. They lose him
because a really hilariously weird story where the hazing was
(24:25):
out of control. Again, I think it's so funny to
think about it. If you remember the stories. One of
the things they were doing called the Gauntlet, and the
scene put on like screen masks and they would like
beat you while you were naked, And I'm just laughing
so hard because I'm thinking about, like, well, it's just
like like you're so tired from practice and you're like,
come on, guys, you know what time it is, and
(24:48):
like somebody's handing you the ghost face mask and your
number classmen, you're like proba, I just want to go
play call dude, no, come on now, beat these freshmen
like okay, fine, fuck it, put on my Freddy Network.
But they should have been awful. And then they went
five and four in the Big Ten. Yeah, yeah to
Big Ten. And so what how does Northwestern seek to
build off of this height? They announced plans to build
(25:10):
an unbelievable new stadium. It's gonna be amazing when it's done.
But we learned today that in the interim, Northwestern is
going to be playing the next two football seasons, uh
in their practice facility, at their outdoor practic facility, in
which they will have some sort of temporary seating. And
if you look at pictures of the practicality, Aaron, I
don't know that you can get like more than like
(25:32):
five thousand, I mean like like five thousands, maybe even
pushing it like it is legitimately going to be like
like a big high school game for the next two
years going to home game at Northwestern.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It's gonna be on It's gonna be on Lake Michigan though,
So it should be nice, it should great setting, great setting.
How many people were they getting to the games in
the first place, Like, were they really stress about getting
fans in the stands?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, it depends, right if you hit let's say ten thousand,
that's kind of acceptable to me because then that could
be a pretty intimate fun environment. I mean, to your point,
that's not nobody or would you play? You know what
I'm saying if you eat ten thousand at that field,
if you get to the site.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Like, where are you going to find a place even
if it wasn't on campus location to get unless you're
gonna play at Soldier Stadium?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, no, no, sorry sorry. What I'm saying is the practice facility,
like you said, is located in a beautiful setting right
there on the lake. It looks awesome. If you can
get ten thousand people on that practice field, that's actually
kind of tight. You have to build something though, I
mean bleachers, I don't know, temporary bleachers, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean, I'm sure ten thousand seats for temporary bleachers.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah right, I think you're like fairy.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Tale Land, Like, Okay, in the next four months, we
have to build a ten a miniature ten thousand. I
guess they do it for hell, they do it for
the damn golf ferm and I was just out there
in Phoenix, like I thought that was all year long.
They build that stadium, that mini stadium leading up to
the tournaments.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I believe that Northwestern, the money that they have, they
could have smart people that they have know that they
can they can put up something temporary that should be
able to hit a respectful The thing is, if you
hit ten thousand, then it maybe becomes kind of cool
because it's a beautiful environment, it's intimate, uh that way,
it's full for whatever that's worth. But if you're talking
(27:33):
about like five thousand people, then that just becomes a
little sad uh in my opinion. But here's to hoping
why am I blakeing on the on the head coach's
name arguably should have been Coach of the Year last year.
Here's so hoping that he can deal with this because
this is kind of a bad break as you would
want to build off of what was a again a
(27:53):
just wildly successful year run compared to what your expectations
are going to be. Gonna be hard to recruit to say, hey,
come here for two years play in this bullshit, but
then after that you will be playing in like a top.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's like Vanderbilt. I mean, I had a game last
year in vander But you go to Vanderbilt Stadium is
there's construction, there's a crane holding up the jumbo tron,
and then ninety percent of the stadium is a way
away fans.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Worst environment to cover to host a college foot player
who's a tougher job Northwestern's coach or clarkli at Vanderbilt
of hosting a recruit during this transition period within a stadium.
Would you rather have Vanderbilt with which can hold more
people but ninety percent of it's away fans still constructions everywhere,
(28:41):
or Northwestern where it's five thousand of your own fans
in like little mini bleachers.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I actually think that Northwestern is still tighter. I think
I mean again, five and four in the Big Ten
last year, so already just way more competitive than is
Vanderbilt within their conference. And uh, both cities are cool,
like Chicago Nashville. I'll call that a wash, although Chicago's
kind of one of the great old school American cities,
(29:09):
whereas Nashville is kind of like the new kid on
the block. But but yeah, I think Northwestern simply because
they're more competitive. It's easier, it's going to be easier
to recruit there, and your options surrounding you are the
Big ten. It's like maybe Chicago has a lot more
(29:29):
allure compared to some of these other big ten cities
than does Nashville compared to some of these other sec
UH settings. So you know, I'm kind of thinking about this.
Soldiers live unt Head. Somebody says, why not play it
shoulder Field. See, I think that would be a mistake
because you play at Soldier Field and you play no,
you felt like fifteen k that's gonna feel so fucking sad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Like ideally soccer stadium like golf stadium, yes, which I
think like a school like Vanderbilt, which I've I've said
this to like my boy c the Childers who lives there.
I was like, why didn't Vanderbilt just do that? Knock
it down, go play at the soccer stadium for a
year to build a similar soccer stadium on campus twenty
(30:13):
five thirty thousand, super intimate on top of you, Like
for those who watched like the XFL, the the the
team in Washington, DC, they played in the soccer stadium
and it's also great. Yeah, they think the credible environment, like,
that's what a Northwestern should do. That's what our Vanderbilt
should do. Twenty to thirty k on top of you,
(30:34):
very fun vibes, but just not doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
That's well.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I mean, the way you can get Vanderbilt fans or
at least the city of Nashville on board with Vanderbilt football.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But I mean, who knows if the MLS team wants
to do it, right, I mean, I'm sure they pack
it out already, Like, I'm sure it's a way more
successful ticket than is Vandy. Why do you want to
let Vandbilt fuck up your field and stuff?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah? Most of those are turf though, do.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
They play on turf in the MLS? I'm sorry, guys,
I don't watch a ton of MLS. I like, I
really like soccer. Yeah, that's because they play in the
mercedity has been that's right. Yeah, that makes sense. Now
that was crazy. I don't know if the atl United
still are, but a few years ago where they were
on the championship run and they're packing it out seventy
three k they take him yeah, oh yeah, I mean
(31:24):
nobody goes to the Falcons get true.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Also left.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, not since the cannon left. I mean, who can
forget that final three and thirteen season? Now who on
the start of the majority of that or was it?
I don't remember. T Bob always looks like he's up
to something, well, because generally I am. I always have
something percolating in the background. Zack says Saint Louis had
(31:49):
like forty five K for the UFL XFL game. Yeah.
To be clear, the battle Hawk fan base in Saint
Louis is awesome, and it's because they feel slighted. Also,
Saint Louis, despite not having a big population, they're right
there with New Orleans. There's not a lot of people.
I mean in the actual city itself. I think you're
looking at around like and I'm you know again, I
(32:10):
could be wrong here. I'm just coming on memory. I
think you're looking at around like five hundred thousand. Maybe
get into like one to two million if you're talking
about this greater.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Saint Louis and area six thousand.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Okay, and then give me like a greater Saint Louis
areas two million, okay, two million. There you go. So
that is a thing where like those you're not supposed
to be able to support that many professional teams with
those numbers. But I saw some the other day between
like a Blues game, the UFL game, and Cardinals game.
(32:46):
They head over two hundred thousand fans go to sporting
events in one weekend. I mean, Saint Louis is sports
crazy and they have latched on to the BattleHawks and
my other QB one I do shows with AJ Mccaerron,
you know, I mean, Aaron, where are you at? Dude?
Come on, bro, great tea.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
BOP's gonna just leave me for AJ.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Shepherd, Ducks, Chip Kelly at Ohio State Urbans at Oregon
right now? Wait, hold on, Urbans at Oregon? What'll be
talking about?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Belly's at Washington right now? What the fuck is going on? Boys?
Legendary coaches? Oh okay, okay, okay, Urban must be busiting,
because I did see this. Did you see Bill Belichick
at Washington practice the other day? Yeah? You know, full
you dockey out here?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, So he's saying, Kelly Oaho State Urbans at Oregon. Now,
Belichick's at Washington, What the fuck's going on? Legendary coaches
has some interesting spots yeah, I think, well it's Chip
Kelly thing. Obviously, that's like in an actual coach.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Belichick's son's coaching at Washington.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Now, oh that's right. I forgot he's the d C.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay, so that that that that makes sense why that's
going down. I gotta be pretty cool if your Washington
player though up to have Bill Belichick hanging around practice
to the goat and all the insight that you could
get there. In Texas, Rock says AJ greater Aaron, greater
than a j Yeah, that's one boy.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
What do you think Saban's going? Obviously he's going, But
do you think he's on the field for a day
up in the box somewhere staying away? You think he's
front center attention.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think he has to go to the game. I
think he has to go to the game. I'm saying,
you go to the game.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
But do you think he's on the field.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Do you think he's in No? No, no, no, he's
in a box. Okay, he's in a swite First.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I would hope you would do that too, just to
like get the attention off of him. Let the game happen.
He's on the field, all attention.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I was going to say it is a psychopath move
and Nick Saban is on the field for the Alabama
spring game like that. Yes, no, exactly that one that
that is. Do you think that he'll be in the booth?
I think for most of that. As Nick Saban joins
college game day and looks to transition a bit, he
(35:09):
has to be a little careful with how involved he's
gonna be with Alabama on the day to day.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I think people at least I do, like I respect
saving so much. Like if he wants to be a
little bit biased to fucking Alabama, like, I could care.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Less, I think I think, I yeah, you probably look.
Let me think about how I would answer this.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I truly could care less. If Nick Saban is on
game day every weekend picking Alabama to win every time
they go around the.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Horn, Yeah, yeah, I mean it is to be expected. Yeah,
it is to be a bit expected. There.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm gonna trash the man for that. Dude. Well, the
smart probably the smartest coaches ever played, you know, coached
the game before.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, I know. I still think, though, if you're gonna
be talking about all of college football as a whole,
you can't be like actively consulting Alabama's office in the stadium.
Herbie loves Ohio State. He's not actively consulting Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But he doesn't have the same was herbtree. I don't
know the stats, Like, yeah, he doesn't. Yeh was the
greatest coach of all time?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Steven I kind of agree with Texas Rocks. I do
think that Saban's personality is such that I could see
him being like almost wanting to actively fight against people saying, like, when.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Georgia faces Alabama in week four, is he picking Georgia?
Is he picking Alabama?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I mean, he can't pick Georgia, right, There's no way.
There's no way if he picked Georgia.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I mean, if you're saying, if you're gonna say it
like it is, I think we can all agree.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I mean, I can't we bring air. Do you want
to play this game again?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Let me just say this. Let's just say for three
weeks of the season, George is kicking everyone's ass. They
kick Clempson's ass. They look amazing. Course looks like the
first quarterback taking the NFL draft, perfect, flawless. Alabama come
out and it's just not really click. In the first
three games, is he picking Bam or is he picking Georgia?
And that in week four?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I think he's still gotta go Obama there d so
how he just says, less he goes pull, he'll turn Yeah. No,
to be fair, I mean, but like like okay, like
like like like Zach says it says, I think Save
will be a little biased. No more than does Howard though,
Like yeah, like Des Howard's hard bro. When El she
was on that twenty nineteen run, you had Ryan Clark,
Marcus Spears. I mean, the entire LSU media conglomerate was
(37:30):
constantly like fuck you, Joe Burrow, go Tigers.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
When it comes to to to broadcasters not not going,
you know, putting the fan hat on too much, there's
certain people that have to be kind of create that
separation from the university because they have to build that
credibility up in the media space, like, hey, I'm not
a homewerre in my university. I'm truly am for the whatever.
Saban does not have to do that. Saban is different,
(37:57):
He's unique. He's a unicorn. Saban can be wearing damn
Alabama pin on his suit on college game day.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
He's the greatest college coach of all time and he
coached Alabama and won six national championships there. He can
do what he wants because he's gonna give incredible information
for two hours and forty five minutes on that show,
and then if you want to pick Alabama at the
end of it, so be it. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
VC Collegas says kind of suspicious he has been to
take the LSU guys off college coverage after nineteen. Well
they actually did it, right. I mean, Spears got upgraded
to the NFL Live, which is a way bigger gig.
Ryan Clark became one of the main everything guys for ESPN,
and Booger actually got put on college after twenty nineteen,
right like that. That's what Booger does now is the college.
(38:42):
It doesn't have time now. This would be the true
LSU wet dream would be of Elis if Saban would
pick LSU Overbama. You want to heal the pain of
the past for all the Tiger fans that felt so
betrayed when he left for Miami and then said he
would not be the coach at Alabama. That would be
(39:02):
so deeply Uh well, it'd be it'd be funny a
lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
But I think the first time he doesn't pick Bama,
I mean, you can't talk shit about him, right, No, no, no,
Royal Pain says I bet he isn't on seve of
the picks at all.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Year one. Well, then what are we doing? Saving better
be picking these games like otherwise what are we doing? Dude? Uh?
Nick says I can't take game day seriously after a
bunch of those fucks picked Iowa over Michigan last year,
Well didn't I what kind of almost beat Michigan? I
mean maybe almost beat is tough because they never really
had a chance to sit fifty but the game but
(39:39):
the score wasn't crazy, no, but.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
They never had an opportunity. They never had any legit
chances of score points.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah. I mean, look as somebody who played in a
game where we didn't cross the fifty, it's not a
good feeling. Uh you don't, Yeah, not quite as close
as the final score looked.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Go.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Doug says, if Saving ever picks against Bama and wins,
they're tearing that statue down Bama flags at half mast.
No way, there's no way they're ever tearing that down.
All right, let's get into some of our favorite snaps
memories and then oh man, we've been going for forty minutes,
alrighty sesh and then see so it's just so much fun, guys,
(40:22):
and they'll talk about what's next. Aaron to be to
reminisce in the past. I never I don't think you
understand how nervous I was for the first show that
we did here, not even the first live show, the
first test show in which the producers and everybody that
(40:43):
put together show is going to be watching. And I
get the feeling from you that you have this rational
self confidence, this this QB one attitude. I don't get
a lot of imposter syndrome from you. I deal with
a lot of that. And I was so ner I
felt like I was gonna have an anxiety attack. I remember,
feel like my heart was gonna pull there. I just
(41:03):
I think I drank like two or three beers before
the show, just to take the edge off, so I
wouldn't it be in my head causing myself to have
a panic attack. Did you have any such feelings for
our first Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Never, never any never, never any sense of nerves. But
I will say this because I've always been very bunted
up on shows, and as you know, if you're listening
to this, we keep it loose, we keep it fun
as possible. The first time where I was like have
we gone too far? And I always tell people the
story when they ask me like hell it we love you, Bob.
I mean when I always get the question like how
(41:40):
is it working with tea Bob, Like what's it? Like,
I'm like, well, I tell this story. This was post
phasectomy when someone came on the chat and was like,
you know, like why are you so happy that you're
you know, you got your nuts chopped off? And T Bob,
you go, well, because he can fucking come and his
wife whenever he wants and doesn't have to care anymore.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
And I'm just like.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Once that line was kind of cross, I was like,
there ain no.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Coming back of like we may be kicked off.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
YouTube today, Like I was waiting for like YouTube to
ban us, us get some notification or from like calm
like hey guys, like I like to lose this, but
like we can't be talked about coming in our wives
over here some sort of repercussion. So but we never
got in trouble. So I was like, all right, here
we go.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
It is honest. So it is honest. What's what's the
only why do you get of a seconmy so you
can nun in your wife? I mean, I'm just telling
like it is. Ro just says, why don't you be
so nervous? Isn't on the radio? Yeah, I mean that's
what's crazy, right, Like I'm on the radio to you know, objectively, Well,
I don't know once you get into download numbers, but
(42:45):
a live audience it's way bigger than what we deal
with here. But and and I love y'all. Though, by
the way, we're gonna talk about how team to grow.
But uh that this was kind of and this is
why I'm so thankful to the volume and Logan Swaying
and uh and con Cowherd and Brumley PG and Chris
Jran and everybody else, the whole team. Is that for me,
this is kind of my first big career break. This
(43:06):
is the first time in which uh uh local yes, yes,
exactly right, Like I've been doing local radio since shit,
I've been doing a daily local radio show since I
was twenty three years old. Because I got a job
that I did not deserve. Thanks to who my dad is,
and so I'm a NEPO baby, right uh, And everybody's
(43:29):
like wow, you know, they're always been a getting possibles.
When people were like, oh man, you're really good, Like
one day you're gonna you're gonna make it and you're
gonna do this or that, and like, I don't know.
I was just like, I like and even now, I
don't really care about making it. What I want to
do is make money to support my three kids of
my family, Like that's all I give a fuck about.
But I love this show and I have so much
(43:49):
fun doing the show. But I was so nervous because
I felt like this was the first time somebody bet
on me and I didn't want to blow it. And
I've had a lot of different partners at this point.
Chemistry is a weird thing and normally takes a very
long time to develop. And I didn't know what to
expect out of Aaron, Right, is this gonna be like
your cool quarterback or your douchey quarterback? Again, Like I've
(44:10):
said on the show many times, my one thing I
knew about Aaron was that he had fucked one of
my best friends girls in college. That my best friend
that my good friend was in love with, and this
is not a man who fell in love ever, and
so I did not know what to expect and I
was just so pleasantly happy and surprised at how cool
(44:37):
Aaron is. Definitely not one of the douchey quarterbacks and
just a just instinct chemistry, instinct chemistry.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
No, definitely instant chemistry. And I do remember when we
were kind of figuring out the show, the question was
brought up, like, oh, who's gonna lead? And I was like, oh, lead,
you know, let's go give me one status. I got
this and every day I'm very grateful that I am
not leading the show because you do such a good
job about it.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
So look and that and that that was one thing
that we were sitting down and talking about the show.
That was one thing that I was like, that's one
thing I told the volume was that's what I want
to do, because I mean, I host. I host a
radio show every fucking day, right, So like it's like you, okay,
shout out chess dot com, right, I just did that
broadcast for them, and and that I was kind of
playing color. And then after the fact, in our post
(45:24):
show meetings, they were like, maybe next time we're going
to have you host because like the chess guys they
got hosted. Awesome guys, incredible chess knowledge, way beyond anything
I have. But if you need me to get you
in and out of breaks, I mean I fucking got you, bam.
Now granted it. Will you know you're also going to
give me control to having conversations about coming in your
(45:45):
wife or the other day on hard facts, yeah, bullshit.
I saw a story about a couple whose home was rated.
They were supposed to be like a really nice, normal
family couple, and then the home was rated because the
husband got caught following kids around in a store and
jerking off real piece of shit. And then on the
(46:09):
dude's phone they found a bunch of videos of his
wife fucking the family's great dane. She was filming it, Yeah,
he was filming it. And there were multiple videos like
they did this a lot, even a dog to fund someone.
I know. I that's one of those things of just
(46:34):
taken for granted, right, like a.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Horse porn, like like how do you how does the
animal get that aroused for something that's not their own.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
It's a great question because like I understand the old
peanut butter thing from high school, right where you saw
something peanut butter and the dog's gonna look it off, right.
I don't know, Aaron, I just always took it for
granted that, yeah, it's a dog. Of course they're gonna
want to have sex with the person. But no, I
don't understand. You know what's going on, Great Dan just
want to have sex with you? Do we really just
(47:06):
want to send this show off on the degenerate top?
And I mean I guess we would. I guess you
have to. You have to kind of jerk off the
dog first, like to warm it up. You have to
play flupper the dog. Yeah. Anyway, risky run though, if
(47:26):
you're gonna let me, that's risk you run, just running
and ship like that.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
So I would say it is what is today? Today
is April eleventh. Football season is four months away. Yeah,
I would love to see us get to like twenty
five thirty by in the next season.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
I think we can do it. I think so too.
I think so too. I think we had incredible momentum
as sorry now chats just make me laugh. I think
we had incredible momentum at the end of the year.
The off season has been a bit of a slog,
but shout out to hit the fifteen K number. It's
ever I'm even feeling it. I'm feeling all my shows
right now. It's giving me down a little bit, but
(48:05):
it's all good. It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
It's harder to get to the first fifteen or the
next fifteen, you think.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I think there is an inflection point where you start
to grow and it kind of tips over. So I
don't know if it's the first fifteen or the next fifteen,
but I do think at a certain point you garner
a number that when people see it, you're like, oh,
that's this is like a legitimate show, and so they're
more willing to subscribe. Right Like, if somebody has one
(48:33):
hundred thousand subscribers, you're probably going to be more willing
to click subscribe with that than if they have two.
So we are slowly but surely trying to climb that mountain.
But yeah, twenty five to thirty k would be would
be would be awesome? Yeah, I think doable. Again. I
think we've got some very exciting plans for maybe working
in some game streaming. Specifically, I want to run a
(48:55):
lot of online two v two s Aaron, Me and
you a team up online eeho Sports twenty five which
we had some news on. Let me bring that up
and we can maybe touch on it. But yeah, so
I think that's a good goal. And and uh, as
in terms of what's next, we're not going to stop
the show.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Kades the next baby let's go.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Yeah, that'd be awesome, but we are not going to Uh,
we're not gonna stop the show. I mean, our plans
are to go straight into next week. You know, we
just got to figure out all the technical stuff and
we're in the process of there right now. I think
production values may change in the short term, maybe be
a bit patient with us on the timing of getting
(49:38):
stuff up as we do then again into the off season.
So it's kind of the time to do this. And uh,
and we are shopping it around to be clear as well,
So we may end up under another company or banner
at some point, or maybe we don't. Right either ways,
we're going to Uh. Either way, we ain't going anywhere.
(50:00):
And I'm very excited because I believe in this show
and it's the most fun that I have and really
the best part about this has been to me, and
you see a lot of online creators saying this, and
it makes sense though, because it's it's intimate. But the
best part about this has been the community. Anytime somebody
tells me somewhere random that they love Snaps, I mean,
(50:21):
he's so happy. I'll never forget the day after Selection
Sunday a few months back, when or the day of
Selection Sunday, when is Florida Stake going to make it
or they're not. I'm driving to Disney, I'll stop at
a BUCkies and the fucking manager of BUCkies comes up
to me and he's like, dude, what's up. You know.
(50:43):
I was like, yeah, man, what's going He's like, oh,
I fucking love Snaps.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
He's like, I'm a.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Huge Florida State fan. You think we make it? And
I'm like, fuck, yeah, you're all gonna make It'd be
a high crime if you don't make it. If this
selection committee doesn't choose you, college football is broken. Blah
blah blah blah blah, all this other stuff. And then
I always think about my guy and I hope you're
still listening out there, because I like, not an hour later,
it came up on the screen that Alabama had made
(51:07):
it and Florida State was left out. But that was
just such a cool moment as as fresh brisket was
on the board here and the manager stop me as
a Florida State fan and be like, dude, I'm a
massive SNAPS fan. Like that made me. I'm so happy, No,
I do, I agree like that.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
The community is awesome. Hell I got that. I remember
the one time I was I was out golfing is
that where we play golf and and some old guy
came up to me. He's like, fuck it, like in
his eighties and he's like, dude, I love watching you
and that crazy motherfucker every day. Hell yeah, this dude
watches and he's like, yeah, my you know that daughter
(51:45):
son showed me YouTube and now I watch you guys
every single day. I was like, hell yeah, we got
like dudes in their eighties out here watching us, and
uh just made me crack up. So yes, we will
keep it live. I think someone of the chad said
Thomas said, whatever y'all do, keep it live like that
is to me, that is one of the most special
parts is interacting with everyone each and every day, seeing
the community grow. So that was the special part about,
(52:08):
you know, moving from the Volume channel, which was great.
So obviously this was T BOP's doing of really pushing like,
we need our own channel, we know channel, Having our
own channel to build our own audience, that is our audience,
not the Volumes audience. I think has set us up
to really continue to run pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah, that's maybe only one of my only regrets about
the entire situation is if we could have moved on
that faster, where could we have been, right, Because and
that's just a function of all of us being out
here in this new algorithmic age in which we live,
not fully understanding how all this works, where it's like, yeah,
the Volume has five hundred thousand subscribers, but they're there
(52:48):
for NBA, NFL Collinsworth or NFL. They're not necessarily there
for for college football, which has been more of a
niche type of situation anyway. Uh So, I but but whatever,
better late than never, right, I don't care. We're gonna
live in the President, But I'm super excited about it.
I think about it. Look, we we've we we've had
(53:10):
a couple of berths, right, Our original producer Ryan Bumley
had a little baby boy in the midst to do
in this show. I had a child in just awful timing.
We had an LSU Georgia SEC Championship in which you
could have done all kinds of live shows in f
It's in Atlanta, and yet I was in the hospital
when it's seeing the birth of my child. It was great, though,
(53:31):
I'll never forget it watching USC get rocked by Utah
and being pissed about it because I was a big
Utah fan and then and so we're gonna keep you
live shows and we'll continue to We're gonna try to
continue to put up shorts every day, breakout clips or
the individual segments because what the analytics show us are
y'all the live watchers are very loyal, very awesome, stick
(53:52):
around a very long time. But the growth is actually
coming from those those those individual videos and the shorts up.
So we're gonna keep uh on everyone.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Like I know, we we've talked about doing the gaming.
You know, it's that's something we're gonna do with Nancy.
The game comes out is do live gaming two v
two all that good stuff. Have some fun playing the games,
talking shop, talking, you know, talking college football. But like,
what do you guys want from us to like this,
what yeah, the community like if there are certain things
that we could possibly do or talk about, especially the
(54:24):
summer when things are a little bit you know stale. Uh,
this is our time to really experiment before football season start.
So please please let us know.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
Do you have a show? I mean both of us
getting vasectomies. Uh yeah, oh yeah you should email email
uh snaps cf B. That's gonna be the new name
of the show if we can get it. We're gonna
change it after today. Snaps uh cfb.
Speaker 3 (54:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
For all of your uh and for any thoughts that
you have on what the show could be. Where could
we go good good ideas that you'd want to see,
we'll we'll we'll have access to all of that. Royld
Painter's movie, slash, TV show, live chat, et cetera. Now,
if we ever did end up going like fully independent
like Patreon route, I think that could be some interesting stuff,
maybe some outside of football discussion. It gets a little
(55:11):
weird again with the algorithm about muddying up the waters
going too much outside of college football. Now, maybe once
the channel gets bigger, we can start to explore uh
some more of that. But we'll see but yeah, did
you have a favorite show that stands out to you? Aaron?
What do you mean like that we did over these
(55:32):
past two years? I got a couple, uh Colorado post
Colorado TCU was elect.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
When I when I almost missed my game, you know, yeah,
I mean I was literally sweating my balls off, like
when is this game go to end? Because I actually
have to go call a game.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (55:46):
And then you know you and I end up having
an incredible live stream after that Colorado win? Was it
first Nebraska?
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Was that the game? No? No, it's TCU or TCU
Colorado where I.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Literally showed up to my game, Uh, hopefully ESPN's I'm
watching this like an hour before kickoff for Sharon drive
me and dropped me off, and then she like got
stuck in crazy traffic and was like driving my truck,
which she freaking hate driving my truck. So I was
stressing about her driving my truck through Athens in traffic.
(56:16):
The ball for snaps, Uh Yeah.
Speaker 1 (56:21):
Shout out to uh pg's mentioning the live show we
didn't walk on a couple of years ago. It was
very interestingly timed because it was right at the beginning
of the show and so not that many people knew
about it. We had some people show up, and then
we had a lot of people that were just there
hanging out and got to see Snaps live. That was
a lot of fun. Del Rice says, to go back
(56:42):
and look at TV's rant On, Georgia and Bama fans
after the Natty, Uh yeah, you know, sometimes got to
put them in their place. I think the Ohio State
Michigan shows were always very fun as well. For me personally,
the show when we had Calling on after National Championship,
so you know, kind of wish Papa would have come
on maybe again after this one, but uh but after
(57:04):
that first one, that was a big moment, uh for
me certainly, just kind of professionally having him on and
everything else felt validating in uh in many ways. So
it's been a fun couple of years. But again, this
is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. We
ain't going anywhere. If Snaps will continue, If.
Speaker 2 (57:26):
Anyone wants to make a Snaps meme coin, because I
think meme season is really about to pop off.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
Soon, you know, just yes, yes, please please. Uh. Let's
that's that's the actual direction we're taking the show. We're
gonna be a crypto show that that's gonna be your bonus.
Speaker 2 (57:42):
No one really has like the sports memes, you know,
so we could be the first just saying.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
My favorite time is a teap I'm talking about. Wow, Well,
we'll probably do some more like chill streams. I'm even
though I've cooled a bit on my World Warcraft Season Discover.
Right now, I can feel my hobbies always interchange. I
was talking to my wife last night. I think your
boy's about to start building and payton some more miniatures.
I can't wait go make some Brittonian Army. I got
(58:10):
a big box just waiting to be put together at home.
But yeah, man, and look, I really cannot thank Pat Gunther,
Chris Tran, Danny Carnez, Ryan Brumley, Adam Grossi, a Christian Hunter.
Just the entire team of Volume has been so fantastic
over this last couple of years, and like I said,
(58:31):
life changing in so many different ways. I mean I
got an agent because of this show. I never had
an agent before, and now I suddenly have somebody out
there who's like advocating for me and helping create me.
Opportunity obvious as teabop, we're about starting new D and
D campaign. What class should I play? I've been ranger, rogue,
and Druid. I said it yesterday. I tend to I
(58:55):
tend to lean towards magic users and dungeons and dragons because,
especially if you like to play a very narrative version
of the game, you could just do so much ship
with spells as to really feel unlimited. And thank you
for that, Aaron, as if you give a damn about
what deity.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
Maybe maybe this is the great thing when today, of
all days, when Bob goes on his rants, I'm just
watching the Masters right now, so yeah, he's fine, and
I just throw a couples in here as.
Speaker 1 (59:27):
People and ship's who's winning right now?
Speaker 2 (59:32):
Who is up right now? I don't know who's up
right now. I'm watching like a whole four, five, and six.
They've been shown like a whole score on watching Fitzpatrick. Uh.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
Maybe where I'm at for the next couple of hours,
I'm very healthy sounding my boy off.
Speaker 2 (59:47):
Let's good.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
But uh but yeah, thank you all so much. We
love you. Okay, So ways you can help out the
show though in the short term obviously again algorithm right,
hit the like button, share it with your friends. Anytime
you have a high light to view ratio, that naturally
pushes out the shows onto recommended channels. So like a
(01:00:09):
lot of the people who watch PET when they get
done with a video, YouTube will put our video in
there afterwards because they know they're into college football. So
that that certainly helps quite a bit. If you listen
on pod rating and reviewing always helps. That helps, it
gets pushed out as well. And so there's just a
couple of freeways that you can help out the boys here.
(01:00:30):
And yes, one day I will get Aaron to do
a Dungeons and Dragons one off. We'll set it up,
we'll get it. We'll get a dungeon master. Get somebody
else in here with us as well. I know part
of my take actually has done the D and D thing,
and I listened to the first time my friend the
other day, and it's pretty it's it's pretty good. It's
just fun. It's just so much fun. Anybody can play
(01:00:50):
D and D as well. All right, I think that's it.
I think that's it. Thank you so much. We will
see you Monday, and again a massive thank you to
the volume by Monday. I believe Snap's CFB is the
plan on where you'll find it, but we'll continue to
(01:01:10):
update you on Twitter and everything else. But we love you,
thank you for being a part of this, and we
look forward to the future. We'll see you on Monday.
Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
The volume
The Volume. Yo, what's going on y'all? And welcome into
a special episode of Snaps. As this is a big one, folks.
As I get my windows in order here, I hope
(00:22):
you're all having a wonderful day. I am t BA
baby Bear. He is Aaron Murray and this is Snaps,
a college football podcast, produced and hosted and put together
by the Volume Papa Colin Cowherds Podcast Network, which of
course you can find great shows like Club Shaysha and
(00:44):
All you Know Nightcap and all the other excellent Shannon
Charp Cotton everything else they got going on there. Now
I say a very special show because in case you
missed it, this will be our final Snaps episode under
the Volume banner. Now we told you the other day. Okay,
(01:04):
it's like the old wolfle Wall Street meme. We ain't
going anywhere. Okay, Snaps will continue. In fact, we won't
even be taking a break. We will still be going
live next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. And maybe we're even
adjustice schedule even more based on how we want to
do it. But but we are no longer going to
be partnered with the Volume. So today we're gonna look
(01:27):
back on the last couple of years, because what a
fantastic time. It has been a lot of good memories
that met a ton of great people. As I said
the other day, literal life changing experience for me personally,
certainly being here with the volume. And we'll talk about
what comes next and kind of what to expect if
you enjoy the show in ways that you can help
(01:49):
us out. So what up? Will Ben goat dog? George
General lines? What's happened? Everybody? We got? Emerald lines, Let's
go STEP's best, most entertaining pono cooegeul But we love you, Emerald,
thank you, but share it with your friends. Aaron, what's
up man Master's Day for you?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Dude, I'm feeling so good. I wish I was. I
wish I was in AUGUSTA. Damn it Georgia for putting
your spring game on Master's weekend. But somewhat kidding, but
I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
To be I mean, no, you're not kidding. So I'm
happy to be a little bit again about it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I know not I'm happy to be coined the game.
I'm just not happy that it's on the same weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Are you You know what I mean? You did seem
actually very genuinely excited to call the l SHU spring
game last year, I.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Did so Mexicans Maravitas.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That was one of the worst pictures I've ever taken
in my life. My titties were popping in that white
shirt that it took with you and Jake. That that
made me, I think. I think Actually, like a day
or two after that was when I was like, I
should start like fast maybe uh no, not working out, bitch, Okay,
I already was working out, but I did that. That
picture of my titties did cause me to tighten up
(03:01):
the diet a little bit, which is, you know, that's
you have to have those low moments to inspire change. Sorry, now,
what were you saying about Dusty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Dusty's gonna be on the call there so for he
may be hitting you up. So uh okay, cool fellow shoe.
Oh no. I like spring games are fun because it's relaxing.
And every spring game that I've called, I've been given
access to be on the field. Yeah, like behind the quarterback,
(03:28):
so I'm literally you know, because you know, the head
coach is usually hovering somewhere around ten yards behind. Yeah,
so I get to hang out with the coach do
a little bit of interview watch it so it feels
the adrenaline's a little bit more spiked up, kind of
seeing the view from behind the quarterback, in which I
enjoyed doing so. Sure, I like that aspect. If it's
a little bit more relaxed, you get to know, you know,
(03:48):
get get get to kind of hang out with the
guys a little bit more. So I enjoy it once.
I just wish it was not on a time when
I would be, you know, either in AUGUSTA or sitting
on my couch drinking a beer watching the Masters.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh this is pretty cool. Look at Maroni laying music
in the chat. I was out of town playing music
with Emerald allonce at an Eclipse music festival. Had no
service back at it, steps, Well, what's up? That's cool dude.
So the SAMs community, former relationships within Simeo's music, I'd
love to listen. I mean, you think you're pissed, Aaron.
We always talk about how just brutally awful it would
(04:21):
be to be a college football coach, maybe especially an assistant.
Although you're going to make way more money than everybody.
It's like, can you enjoy the money being an assistant
at Georgia. I would imagine basically guarantees you can get
access to the Masters if you want, And so you
are quite literally losing one of your biggest perks for
(04:42):
a day that, to be honest, you probably don't really
give a fuck about, Like the practices of any game
have meant way more to you than does the Spring
game itself. And now even though you're grinding film twenty
four to seven, you're calling eighteen hundred, you're in high
school kids a week You just want one weekend where
(05:03):
you can take advantage of your status, and it's ruined
by having to go between the hedges.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
My boy, Bobo, and this is rumors, Boba, do not
tell me this, but I did hear from some people
that he was going to go to Berkman's on Sunday.
And that doesn't seem like it's to be happy because
he's gonna be entertaining high school kids. Let me let
me pose this. Do any coaches like the spring game
or is it just to me? I've always thought of
as it is for the fans. This is the opportunity
(05:30):
for the fans to get in the stadium, get a
peek player. Some of the mid year in row leagues,
maybe see a couple, you know, freshmen that red shirt
the year before. But from like a coaching standpoint and
from a player standpoint, the only thing I was saying
about is like, can we just get in, get out,
stay healthy. And then Saturday night post spring is like
(05:50):
a big party, like we're about to have some fun now.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah. Well, and and it's one of those things where
the yeah because ironically it because it is so public,
you can't actually do the work that you want to
do right, Like it's it's a situation where you don't
want to show anything because it's off season preparation. Like
maybe you have a player or a package, or you're
(06:16):
leaning into a new system that you really like. You're
not gonna see any of that come Saturday. You're gonna
see very basic formations defensively, very basic calls offensively. Now
I will say this, I will see this. You can
glean info on an individual standpoint, right, and it's not
(06:37):
always the most accurate because some guys will fall off
as it gets mentally more complicated. But like if you
have a guy and he's just out there and just
a base pass or situation and he's dominating the tackle, well,
that's a pass rusher. Maybe you can start to get
a bit excited about if you're a running back and
you take a power like sixty seventy eighty yards, that's
going to make you excite your receiver. You're big, one
(07:00):
hand to catch in the corner of the end zone.
Like these are all still well earned plays, and because
there are fans in the stands, players are going hard.
It's just that the coaches aren't necessarily trying to manipulate
the situation as much to put you in a position
to succeed as you would in a true game day.
Like I remember, for me trying to become a starter,
it would have been my resort sophomore year or no no, sorry,
(07:23):
rechard freshman year, spring retro fresh going into retort sophomore.
That spring game actually ended up giving me a ton
of confidence because we dialed back all the mental stuff.
It was easy to make the calls and I played
very well, and I carried that forward into fall with
me and talking to my coaches after the fact, it
actually did help inspire confidence in them as well that
(07:45):
I maybe could be a legitimate starter for that team.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well it's not listen, it's not a game, the atmosphere like,
let's let's be real, like it's not you know, for
Athens or LSU this weekend, there's not ninety two hundred
thousand people in the stadiums for these games. Sometimes you
get that, you know, we see in Alabama do that.
We've seen Georgia, we've seen Sara in universities really pack
out a stadium for a spring game. But it's still
more than what you get on an average practice. You're
(08:08):
playing in your stadium in front of your fans, and
I guess it does give you somewhat of a gauge
of who is what I always like to call a
BP player a batting practice player. A guy that goes
out there and does really well at VP and hits
it home run after one, but you put them in
a game like situation, he can't hit the curveball. Guys
react differently in a game situation than they do practice.
(08:33):
My lights are on and there's fans in the stands,
and mom and dad are there, and your girlfriend's there,
and you're trying to maybe impress or do too much,
or your butt gets a little bit puckered up compared
to normal practice. Now do you react this is a
closer situation than a normal practice to that. So you
do get a little bit of a feel like who
can truly show out and who are the true performers
(08:57):
that do take their game to another level in front
of the fans.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And you look at this sweet chest dot com shut
I got by the way, dude, and you you also
it's the little things too, right, Like you said, you're
in the stadium, and I remember for me it was
the first time where I had ever played football where
I could look up at the jumbo tron and like
see the replay of the play and be like, oh shit,
(09:20):
look at that, like I just did that, or ooh
that could have been better. And so there are little
fun quirks, but again it's something kind of world changing.
But there is some value there. It's maybe just in
light of having to skip the Masters, that value feels
a little less than I think Alabama is Alabama gonna
put ninety k in? I mean don't they normally? I
don't know. I mean under Kaylin de Bor, I would
(09:42):
imagine do.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You think bands are excited for the spring game in Alabama?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean they already pack out a day generally, don't
they like elish fans never win. I've always feel like
it was maybe like fifteen to twenty k if that LSU.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Last year, there was only one side of the stadium,
lower Bowl that they set people in. Correct.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's
not it's it's not very big. Generally, there's like baseball
going on that people want to go to, and just
other spring sports that people are into.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you think do you think Alabama fans are they
excited for the change or are they kind of already
mentally preparing themselves for a possible drop this upcoming season,
so you may not see the enthusiasm in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
For the game. No, I already think that Alabama fans
are masturbatory about their spring game attendance, Like they love
being like we fucking pack it out because we give
a damn right. And so when you combine that with
a with a coaching change, I expected to be pretty
damp full, if not completely full. I feel like that's
(10:52):
something that they kind of hang their hat on, if
you will. Fox is televising their house state spring game,
and look, you know, the TV partners love getting a
little excuse to talk about football and put football on
the TV, and it's okay. Where where's this other question
I wanted to get to? Do you think spring street
ball games are worth it to go to as a fan?
(11:14):
I was thinking about driving a Happy Valley on Saturday.
But I'm on the fence about an hour and a
half drive. Hmm, Well, I gotta be honest, I don't
know that I would do an hour and a half
drive unless you just want to go to campus and
make a day of it, and you have other stuff
you want to do. Maybe want to go to the restaurant. Yes,
you bring the kids, Like, great for the kids because
it's gonna be way more chill, so they can run
(11:35):
around and and they're not really always going to discern
like what's the real stressful time?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, you're you're not. I agree, Like I think it's
a good family day. So if you do have kids,
or you want to go relax or say you went
to that university, I mean hill in the South, the
weather's gonulda be perfect. It's gonna be seventy eighty degrees sunny.
It's like to be on in Athens or in Tuscaloosa,
or you know, ban Rouge or any of these other
schools in the southeast have their springs. Is we can
you get great weather, you get the walk around campus,
(12:04):
go downtown, get some food, hang out, and you get
to go watch a game where you're not fucking stressed.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Like, yeah, just enjoy football without worrying about any sort
of consequence.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, just watch the things fly around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
See, but the thing is too though to be clear,
like Appens is one of the cooler towns to go to,
Like that might be worth an hour long drive just
because you want to go hang out in Athens. I
can't speak to Happy Valley. I can't. I mean, I
don't know that I think that Baton Rouge would be
worth it. But maybe I've just you know, lived here
too long and so it's familiar to me where I
they did it. Like I wouldn't drive to New Orleans
for a spring game.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Though you're saying from New Orleans to ben Rouge.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't think I would do either. Even if the
city I was going to was New Orleans, I still
wouldn't go if I wasn't having to cover it, uh
for work. But yeah, better parking to ben concerts, absolutely,
which is why I don't get the A day thing,
because fuck me, we are not getting me to deal
with ninety thousand people worth the logistics to go watch
a spring game, although again this year with Kaalin Depoor.
(13:07):
If there ever was a year, this would be it. Okay,
there's a few different stories to get to, and then
we'll get into some of our favorite moments from the
past and what comes next for Snaps. First off, we
said it when we talked about a couple days ago.
We said it was firmly in the rumored department. We
were essentially in the junior high bathroom spreading gossip, and
(13:30):
appears the gossip is unfounded, as a USC defensive tackle
Bear Alexander came out yesterday and said he is not
transferring and that he is looking forward to winning a
national championship at USC. So sorry to LSU fans and
all those other defensive tackle hungry fan bases out there,
(13:51):
Bear Alexander not going to be an option.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, that's unfortunate, especially for LSU who really really really
needed him to hit the mark. There'll be plenty of
other guys that do hit the market. I think this
was it was an interesting move because I don't think
either of us are high on USC this year. I
don't think either of us think that US is a
true contender in the Big ten. And we saw the
(14:14):
win lost total. I think we showed the graphic the
other day. They're like, what are I'm at seven to
eight market?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah they're right, yeah, like six point seven or six
point and they're right under seven.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So, like, you know, I don't know what his true
motives are. Is his motives at IL Was there maybe
some more dollars that he was trying to get out
of USC too, or the collective or whoever there to
keep them there? Like was that the main goal? Because
if it was to win a championship, I think he
kind of knows that that's a long shot there at
Southern Cal. But there's also the.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Long shot at LSU. It's a long shot at ten,
I mean, but it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Closer at LSU than it is that they are. Or
you go to manage, you could go somewhere and I
know you're just wanting LSU, but you could go somewhere
and put yourself up for an opportunity to now make money.
But what a championship. But I do think for an
overall narrative standpoint, this is a kid that transferred multiple
times in high school. I believe that already transferred once
(15:11):
in college transfer again, this would have.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Been his left would have been his seventh transfer in
seven years had he actually transferred.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't open that there. It sits well in the NFL.
I'm just gonna throw it out there.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
A lot of people saying that this is just a
play to in the chier now, that this is just
a play to get more money, you know, cynically, I
wouldn't doubt that. Also, the rumors were never uber concrete, right,
like maybe some displeasure was voiced and then uh, it
(15:46):
kind of spun out of control, Like I'm not one
thousand percent convinced that he got more money or that
he did this just for more money, although I'm not
naive enough to say that he didn't. Also, so we
don't know. So I guess all that does matter is
the actual fact the matter, which is bear Alexander saying
he is staying put at USC, which is big for
Danton Lynn and that entire USC defensive staff as they
(16:09):
look to try to write what was an awful defense
last year, better than Elshoes, but an awful defense nonetheless. Okay,
he says, rest in peace to usc legend O J. Simpson.
(16:30):
It's very dom cleman energy in terms of framing that O. J.
Simpson passed away. He died right before, in terms of
when it was announced that he passed his family a
couple of hours ago, right at the end of My
morning show, putting out there that at age seventy six,
O J. Simpson has passed away from cancer. It's weird
(16:51):
to talk about. I was a kid during all the
Murder Trier stuff. I remember exactly where I was when
the Bronco chase was going down. I would probably be
more willing to be nice to OJ or maybe give
him some sort of bit of it. Doubt had he
not chosen to later write a book called If I
(17:11):
Did It that then went step by step how he
would have murdered these two people he's alleged estimers like
that's pretty fucked up, Like that's that's that's pretty fucking awful.
And uh and so the jokes are indeed popping off
right now in regards to uh to O J. Simpson.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But uh, there's there's a handful of events that you
will remember if you're kind of ye, I would say,
right around our age.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And older and all.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, especially if you're a sports fan in this uh,
this definitely being one the white Bronco.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Uh, it does make me want want to rewatch OJ
Made in America. I haven't seen that in many years.
Maybe the best thirty for thirty documentary there has ever made.
Uh right there with the you though you dealing with
much less serious uh top kind of subject see sports.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
What did it mostly have to do with that the incident?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, it's it's it's mainly about uh. I mean, I
guess it encapsulates all of it, but it's mainly about
the crime. Yeah, you obviously have his his football background
as the background of who he was and kind of
this being this superstar, But no, it's about It's about
the crime. How you kind of lean into racial tensions
as well some other interesting strategies to get out of
(18:26):
said crime. It's worth a watch if you have never
seen it before. Chances well he did a good job
and naked gun Yeah, I mean he was like America
spokesman for for a bit there. It did give us
this though one of the greatest Norm McDonald jokes of
all time. This is at the SP's back in I
(18:47):
guess it's the late nineties because Charles Woodson hit the
tape there and.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
There's Charles Woodson. How about that I don't want to season. Yeah,
I became the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.
Congratulations Charles.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
That is something that no one can ever take away
from you unless you kill your wife and a waider,
in which case, before we can begin heaving.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Out of a word secon oh my god god. Also, the
the it's it's it's even a bit funnier in the
context of Reggie Bush's Heisman also being taken away, because that,
(19:45):
like that joke can be expanded to like, yeah, the
only way to get taken away is if you murder
your wife, waiter, or you writ a home for your mother.
I mean it is look the Heisman, the Heisman Trust has,
let you know, and the ins like we're drawing a
line in the sand. You cannot murder and you cannot
get affordable housing for your mother and help you out
(20:07):
your family. Uh, based off of your incredible talent and
all the money you're making everybody around you. Those are
the two things we just cannot original.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
All right, let's let's with with the the the Manzell
push coming out with Like you know, when we were
talking about if if Manzel gets to keep his for
blatantly telling everyone that yes, I was, I received money,
why I was that call in college station? Do you
think Reggie gets back? Like we'll talk like, does Reggie
get the heisman back? Eventually?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Zach says, those are equal crimes in my eyes. Does
Regie get it back? Uh? He he, I mean, this
is one of those things that it's like.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's so uh, you can't say, you what would ever
admit or atleast go to the effort to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We talked about a couple of weeks ago, and I
think I and I stand by this. I said, this
is objectively probably the single dumbest thing in all of sports,
Like go even beyond like the steroid gatekeeping of the
Baseball Hall of Fame pit, all this towards the shit, Like,
(21:15):
the single dumbest thing I can fathom is Reggie Bush
not having his heisman, not just because nobody is morally
or ethically offended by him by what he did, right,
just getting maybe some benefits and whatnot. But really, because
if you accept Reggie Bush's punishment as just, then you
(21:35):
have to believe that every other Heisman winner and history
never got any benefits, never got a meal, never got
a car, never got any homes, never got any of
this shit. And then you have guys like Manziel actively
out there talking about everything they did get. So it
is so fucking dumb. It's dumber than Pete Rose. It is,
it is, it is again, it is, I think, the
dumbest thing in all the sports. So I don't know
(21:58):
how to answer will he get it back? Because I
can't fathom that he already doesn't have it back? Like, like,
that's what I can't wrap my head around.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What's more likely to happen then going back and taking
Manziel's away or them giving Reggie his back.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I mean, Menzel's got on this show and said I
was getting paid and this is how I duped. Like
he lied, he.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Lied, OJ he didd except he's just saying I did
do it, and I did hold this narrative.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I mean I remember talking about like, oh, man tell
he comes from money. That's why he's able to go
to Vegas and party and do this and that, like
it's not the fact that he's getting paid. He comes
from like this oil family money, and they're like, no,
we created that fucking narrative like that was not true. No,
like saying he's like from the other side of the truck.
He came from a good family, but like not that
kind of money family. So he lied to you. He
(22:52):
literally lied to the and created this false life so
that he could.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Get Okay, so all this money, and in terms of
what's more likely, though I do agree with you or
I don't agree, I think it has to be more
likely that Reggie gets his heisman back for two reasons. First,
the NCAA is feckless right, they can't enforce shit anymore.
It doesn't seem like all of this would maybe be
one area in which they legally could. But also giving
(23:19):
Reggie his heis and back is such a pr win.
That's what I don't understand about all this. Nobody is
going to be upset if you do it. All people
are gonna say is yeah, okayrats, goddamn time exactly. So
I have to fad and that he'll get it back eventually.
But we will see so O. J. Simpson dead at
(23:41):
age seventy six, Bear Alexander not transferring, and uh, another
random little bit here, Uh did you see the uh
did you see Northwestern football? Maybe the surprise Store. We
didn't talk a lot about him last year, but probably
the big surprised in all of college football full stop, right,
(24:03):
I mean Pat Fitzgerald was supposed to be that school's
greatest coach. Ever, he was turning in garbage for the
last couple of years, really three the last four years,
just absolute garbage. And yet when they lost him, it
was still like, oh my god, that's the best you're head.
Northwest sucks. A're not gonna be shit. They lose him
because a really hilariously weird story where the hazing was
(24:25):
out of control. Again, I think it's so funny to
think about it. If you remember the stories. One of
the things they were doing called the Gauntlet, and the
scene put on like screen masks and they would like
beat you while you were naked, And I'm just laughing
so hard because I'm thinking about, like, well, it's just
like like you're so tired from practice and you're like,
come on, guys, you know what time it is, and
(24:48):
like somebody's handing you the ghost face mask and your
number classmen, you're like proba, I just want to go
play call dude, no, come on now, beat these freshmen
like okay, fine, fuck it, put on my Freddy Network.
But they should have been awful. And then they went
five and four in the Big Ten. Yeah, yeah to
Big Ten. And so what how does Northwestern seek to
build off of this height? They announced plans to build
(25:10):
an unbelievable new stadium. It's gonna be amazing when it's done.
But we learned today that in the interim, Northwestern is
going to be playing the next two football seasons, uh
in their practice facility, at their outdoor practic facility, in
which they will have some sort of temporary seating. And
if you look at pictures of the practicality, Aaron, I
don't know that you can get like more than like
(25:32):
five thousand, I mean like like five thousands, maybe even
pushing it like it is legitimately going to be like
like a big high school game for the next two
years going to home game at Northwestern.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It's gonna be on It's gonna be on Lake Michigan though,
So it should be nice, it should great setting, great setting.
How many people were they getting to the games in
the first place, Like, were they really stress about getting
fans in the stands?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, it depends, right if you hit let's say ten thousand,
that's kind of acceptable to me because then that could
be a pretty intimate fun environment. I mean, to your point,
that's not nobody or would you play? You know what
I'm saying if you eat ten thousand at that field,
if you get to the site.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Like, where are you going to find a place even
if it wasn't on campus location to get unless you're
gonna play at Soldier Stadium?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, no, no, sorry sorry. What I'm saying is the practice facility,
like you said, is located in a beautiful setting right
there on the lake. It looks awesome. If you can
get ten thousand people on that practice field, that's actually
kind of tight. You have to build something though, I
mean bleachers, I don't know, temporary bleachers, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean, I'm sure ten thousand seats for temporary bleachers.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah right, I think you're like fairy.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Tale Land, Like, Okay, in the next four months, we
have to build a ten a miniature ten thousand. I
guess they do it for hell, they do it for
the damn golf ferm and I was just out there
in Phoenix, like I thought that was all year long.
They build that stadium, that mini stadium leading up to
the tournaments.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I believe that Northwestern, the money that they have, they
could have smart people that they have know that they
can they can put up something temporary that should be
able to hit a respectful The thing is, if you
hit ten thousand, then it maybe becomes kind of cool
because it's a beautiful environment, it's intimate, uh that way,
it's full for whatever that's worth. But if you're talking
(27:33):
about like five thousand people, then that just becomes a
little sad uh in my opinion. But here's to hoping
why am I blakeing on the on the head coach's
name arguably should have been Coach of the Year last year.
Here's so hoping that he can deal with this because
this is kind of a bad break as you would
want to build off of what was a again a
(27:53):
just wildly successful year run compared to what your expectations
are going to be. Gonna be hard to recruit to say, hey,
come here for two years play in this bullshit, but
then after that you will be playing in like a top.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's like Vanderbilt. I mean, I had a game last
year in vander But you go to Vanderbilt Stadium is
there's construction, there's a crane holding up the jumbo tron,
and then ninety percent of the stadium is a way
away fans.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Worst environment to cover to host a college foot player
who's a tougher job Northwestern's coach or clarkli at Vanderbilt
of hosting a recruit during this transition period within a stadium.
Would you rather have Vanderbilt with which can hold more
people but ninety percent of it's away fans still constructions everywhere,
(28:41):
or Northwestern where it's five thousand of your own fans
in like little mini bleachers.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I actually think that Northwestern is still tighter. I think
I mean again, five and four in the Big Ten
last year, so already just way more competitive than is
Vanderbilt within their conference. And uh, both cities are cool,
like Chicago Nashville. I'll call that a wash, although Chicago's
kind of one of the great old school American cities,
(29:09):
whereas Nashville is kind of like the new kid on
the block. But but yeah, I think Northwestern simply because
they're more competitive. It's easier, it's going to be easier
to recruit there, and your options surrounding you are the
Big ten. It's like maybe Chicago has a lot more
(29:29):
allure compared to some of these other big ten cities
than does Nashville compared to some of these other sec
UH settings. So you know, I'm kind of thinking about this.
Soldiers live unt Head. Somebody says, why not play it
shoulder Field. See, I think that would be a mistake
because you play at Soldier Field and you play no,
you felt like fifteen k that's gonna feel so fucking sad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Like ideally soccer stadium like golf stadium, yes, which I
think like a school like Vanderbilt, which I've I've said
this to like my boy c the Childers who lives there.
I was like, why didn't Vanderbilt just do that? Knock
it down, go play at the soccer stadium for a
year to build a similar soccer stadium on campus twenty
(30:13):
five thirty thousand, super intimate on top of you, Like
for those who watched like the XFL, the the the
team in Washington, DC, they played in the soccer stadium
and it's also great. Yeah, they think the credible environment, like,
that's what a Northwestern should do. That's what our Vanderbilt
should do. Twenty to thirty k on top of you,
(30:34):
very fun vibes, but just not doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
That's well.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I mean, the way you can get Vanderbilt fans or
at least the city of Nashville on board with Vanderbilt football.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But I mean, who knows if the MLS team wants
to do it, right, I mean, I'm sure they pack
it out already, Like, I'm sure it's a way more
successful ticket than is Vandy. Why do you want to
let Vandbilt fuck up your field and stuff?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah? Most of those are turf though, do.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
They play on turf in the MLS? I'm sorry, guys,
I don't watch a ton of MLS. I like, I
really like soccer. Yeah, that's because they play in the
mercedity has been that's right. Yeah, that makes sense. Now
that was crazy. I don't know if the atl United
still are, but a few years ago where they were
on the championship run and they're packing it out seventy
three k they take him yeah, oh yeah, I mean
(31:24):
nobody goes to the Falcons get true.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Also left.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, not since the cannon left. I mean, who can
forget that final three and thirteen season? Now who on
the start of the majority of that or was it?
I don't remember. T Bob always looks like he's up
to something, well, because generally I am. I always have
something percolating in the background. Zack says Saint Louis had
(31:49):
like forty five K for the UFL XFL game. Yeah.
To be clear, the battle Hawk fan base in Saint
Louis is awesome, and it's because they feel slighted. Also,
Saint Louis, despite not having a big population, they're right
there with New Orleans. There's not a lot of people.
I mean in the actual city itself. I think you're
looking at around like and I'm you know again, I
(32:10):
could be wrong here. I'm just coming on memory. I
think you're looking at around like five hundred thousand. Maybe
get into like one to two million if you're talking
about this greater.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Saint Louis and area six thousand.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Okay, and then give me like a greater Saint Louis
areas two million, okay, two million. There you go. So
that is a thing where like those you're not supposed
to be able to support that many professional teams with
those numbers. But I saw some the other day between
like a Blues game, the UFL game, and Cardinals game.
(32:46):
They head over two hundred thousand fans go to sporting
events in one weekend. I mean, Saint Louis is sports
crazy and they have latched on to the BattleHawks and
my other QB one I do shows with AJ Mccaerron,
you know, I mean, Aaron, where are you at? Dude?
Come on, bro, great tea.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
BOP's gonna just leave me for AJ.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Shepherd, Ducks, Chip Kelly at Ohio State Urbans at Oregon
right now? Wait, hold on, Urbans at Oregon? What'll be
talking about?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Belly's at Washington right now? What the fuck is going on? Boys?
Legendary coaches? Oh okay, okay, okay, Urban must be busiting,
because I did see this. Did you see Bill Belichick
at Washington practice the other day? Yeah? You know, full
you dockey out here?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, So he's saying, Kelly Oaho State Urbans at Oregon. Now,
Belichick's at Washington, What the fuck's going on? Legendary coaches
has some interesting spots yeah, I think, well it's Chip
Kelly thing. Obviously, that's like in an actual coach.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Belichick's son's coaching at Washington.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Now, oh that's right. I forgot he's the d C.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay, so that that that that makes sense why that's
going down. I gotta be pretty cool if your Washington
player though up to have Bill Belichick hanging around practice
to the goat and all the insight that you could
get there. In Texas, Rock says AJ greater Aaron, greater
than a j Yeah, that's one boy.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
What do you think Saban's going? Obviously he's going, But
do you think he's on the field for a day
up in the box somewhere staying away? You think he's
front center attention.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think he has to go to the game. I
think he has to go to the game. I'm saying,
you go to the game.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
But do you think he's on the field.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Do you think he's in No? No, no, no, he's
in a box. Okay, he's in a swite First.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I would hope you would do that too, just to
like get the attention off of him. Let the game happen.
He's on the field, all attention.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I was going to say it is a psychopath move
and Nick Saban is on the field for the Alabama
spring game like that. Yes, no, exactly that one that
that is. Do you think that he'll be in the booth?
I think for most of that. As Nick Saban joins
college game day and looks to transition a bit, he
(35:09):
has to be a little careful with how involved he's
gonna be with Alabama on the day to day.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I think people at least I do, like I respect
saving so much. Like if he wants to be a
little bit biased to fucking Alabama, like, I could care.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Less, I think I think, I yeah, you probably look.
Let me think about how I would answer this.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I truly could care less. If Nick Saban is on
game day every weekend picking Alabama to win every time
they go around the.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Horn, Yeah, yeah, I mean it is to be expected. Yeah,
it is to be a bit expected. There.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm gonna trash the man for that. Dude. Well, the
smart probably the smartest coaches ever played, you know, coached
the game before.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, I know. I still think, though, if you're gonna
be talking about all of college football as a whole,
you can't be like actively consulting Alabama's office in the stadium.
Herbie loves Ohio State. He's not actively consulting Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
But he doesn't have the same was herbtree. I don't
know the stats, Like, yeah, he doesn't. Yeh was the
greatest coach of all time?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Steven I kind of agree with Texas Rocks. I do
think that Saban's personality is such that I could see
him being like almost wanting to actively fight against people saying, like, when.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Georgia faces Alabama in week four, is he picking Georgia?
Is he picking Alabama?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I mean, he can't pick Georgia, right, There's no way.
There's no way if he picked Georgia.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I mean, if you're saying, if you're gonna say it
like it is, I think we can all agree.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I mean, I can't we bring air. Do you want
to play this game again?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Let me just say this. Let's just say for three
weeks of the season, George is kicking everyone's ass. They
kick Clempson's ass. They look amazing. Course looks like the
first quarterback taking the NFL draft, perfect, flawless. Alabama come
out and it's just not really click. In the first
three games, is he picking Bam or is he picking Georgia?
And that in week four?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I think he's still gotta go Obama there d so
how he just says, less he goes pull, he'll turn Yeah. No,
to be fair, I mean, but like like okay, like
like like like Zach says it says, I think Save
will be a little biased. No more than does Howard though,
Like yeah, like Des Howard's hard bro. When El she
was on that twenty nineteen run, you had Ryan Clark,
Marcus Spears. I mean, the entire LSU media conglomerate was
(37:30):
constantly like fuck you, Joe Burrow, go Tigers.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
When it comes to to to broadcasters not not going,
you know, putting the fan hat on too much, there's
certain people that have to be kind of create that
separation from the university because they have to build that
credibility up in the media space, like, hey, I'm not
a homewerre in my university. I'm truly am for the whatever.
Saban does not have to do that. Saban is different,
(37:57):
He's unique. He's a unicorn. Saban can be wearing damn
Alabama pin on his suit on college game day.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
He's the greatest college coach of all time and he
coached Alabama and won six national championships there. He can
do what he wants because he's gonna give incredible information
for two hours and forty five minutes on that show,
and then if you want to pick Alabama at the
end of it, so be it. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
VC Collegas says kind of suspicious he has been to
take the LSU guys off college coverage after nineteen. Well
they actually did it, right. I mean, Spears got upgraded
to the NFL Live, which is a way bigger gig.
Ryan Clark became one of the main everything guys for ESPN,
and Booger actually got put on college after twenty nineteen,
right like that. That's what Booger does now is the college.
(38:42):
It doesn't have time now. This would be the true
LSU wet dream would be of Elis if Saban would
pick LSU Overbama. You want to heal the pain of
the past for all the Tiger fans that felt so
betrayed when he left for Miami and then said he
would not be the coach at Alabama. That would be
(39:02):
so deeply Uh well, it'd be it'd be funny a
lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
But I think the first time he doesn't pick Bama,
I mean, you can't talk shit about him, right, No, no, no,
Royal Pain says I bet he isn't on seve of
the picks at all.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Year one. Well, then what are we doing? Saving better
be picking these games like otherwise what are we doing? Dude? Uh?
Nick says I can't take game day seriously after a
bunch of those fucks picked Iowa over Michigan last year,
Well didn't I what kind of almost beat Michigan? I
mean maybe almost beat is tough because they never really
had a chance to sit fifty but the game but
(39:39):
the score wasn't crazy, no, but.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
They never had an opportunity. They never had any legit
chances of score points.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah. I mean, look as somebody who played in a
game where we didn't cross the fifty, it's not a
good feeling. Uh you don't, Yeah, not quite as close
as the final score looked.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Go.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Doug says, if Saving ever picks against Bama and wins,
they're tearing that statue down Bama flags at half mast.
No way, there's no way they're ever tearing that down.
All right, let's get into some of our favorite snaps
memories and then oh man, we've been going for forty minutes,
alrighty sesh and then see so it's just so much fun, guys,
(40:22):
and they'll talk about what's next. Aaron to be to
reminisce in the past. I never I don't think you
understand how nervous I was for the first show that
we did here, not even the first live show, the
first test show in which the producers and everybody that
(40:43):
put together show is going to be watching. And I
get the feeling from you that you have this rational
self confidence, this this QB one attitude. I don't get
a lot of imposter syndrome from you. I deal with
a lot of that. And I was so ner I
felt like I was gonna have an anxiety attack. I remember,
feel like my heart was gonna pull there. I just
(41:03):
I think I drank like two or three beers before
the show, just to take the edge off, so I
wouldn't it be in my head causing myself to have
a panic attack. Did you have any such feelings for
our first Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Never, never any never, never any sense of nerves. But
I will say this because I've always been very bunted
up on shows, and as you know, if you're listening
to this, we keep it loose, we keep it fun
as possible. The first time where I was like have
we gone too far? And I always tell people the
story when they ask me like hell it we love you, Bob.
I mean when I always get the question like how
(41:40):
is it working with tea Bob, Like what's it? Like,
I'm like, well, I tell this story. This was post
phasectomy when someone came on the chat and was like,
you know, like why are you so happy that you're
you know, you got your nuts chopped off? And T Bob,
you go, well, because he can fucking come and his
wife whenever he wants and doesn't have to care anymore.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
And I'm just like.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Once that line was kind of cross, I was like,
there ain no.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Coming back of like we may be kicked off.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
YouTube today, Like I was waiting for like YouTube to
ban us, us get some notification or from like calm
like hey guys, like I like to lose this, but
like we can't be talked about coming in our wives
over here some sort of repercussion. So but we never
got in trouble. So I was like, all right, here
we go.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
It is honest. So it is honest. What's what's the
only why do you get of a seconmy so you
can nun in your wife? I mean, I'm just telling
like it is. Ro just says, why don't you be
so nervous? Isn't on the radio? Yeah, I mean that's
what's crazy, right, Like I'm on the radio to you know, objectively, Well,
I don't know once you get into download numbers, but
(42:45):
a live audience it's way bigger than what we deal
with here. But and and I love y'all. Though, by
the way, we're gonna talk about how team to grow.
But uh that this was kind of and this is
why I'm so thankful to the volume and Logan Swaying
and uh and con Cowherd and Brumley PG and Chris
Jran and everybody else, the whole team. Is that for me,
this is kind of my first big career break. This
(43:06):
is the first time in which uh uh local yes, yes,
exactly right, Like I've been doing local radio since shit,
I've been doing a daily local radio show since I
was twenty three years old. Because I got a job
that I did not deserve. Thanks to who my dad is,
and so I'm a NEPO baby, right uh, And everybody's
(43:29):
like wow, you know, they're always been a getting possibles.
When people were like, oh man, you're really good, Like
one day you're gonna you're gonna make it and you're
gonna do this or that, and like, I don't know.
I was just like, I like and even now, I
don't really care about making it. What I want to
do is make money to support my three kids of
my family, Like that's all I give a fuck about.
But I love this show and I have so much
(43:49):
fun doing the show. But I was so nervous because
I felt like this was the first time somebody bet
on me and I didn't want to blow it. And
I've had a lot of different partners at this point.
Chemistry is a weird thing and normally takes a very
long time to develop. And I didn't know what to
expect out of Aaron, Right, is this gonna be like
your cool quarterback or your douchey quarterback? Again, Like I've
(44:10):
said on the show many times, my one thing I
knew about Aaron was that he had fucked one of
my best friends girls in college. That my best friend
that my good friend was in love with, and this
is not a man who fell in love ever, and
so I did not know what to expect and I
was just so pleasantly happy and surprised at how cool
(44:37):
Aaron is. Definitely not one of the douchey quarterbacks and
just a just instinct chemistry, instinct chemistry.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
No, definitely instant chemistry. And I do remember when we
were kind of figuring out the show, the question was
brought up, like, oh, who's gonna lead? And I was like, oh, lead,
you know, let's go give me one status. I got
this and every day I'm very grateful that I am
not leading the show because you do such a good
job about it.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
So look and that and that that was one thing
that we were sitting down and talking about the show.
That was one thing that I was like, that's one
thing I told the volume was that's what I want
to do, because I mean, I host. I host a
radio show every fucking day, right, So like it's like you, okay,
shout out chess dot com, right, I just did that
broadcast for them, and and that I was kind of
playing color. And then after the fact, in our post
(45:24):
show meetings, they were like, maybe next time we're going
to have you host because like the chess guys they
got hosted. Awesome guys, incredible chess knowledge, way beyond anything
I have. But if you need me to get you
in and out of breaks, I mean I fucking got you, bam.
Now granted it. Will you know you're also going to
give me control to having conversations about coming in your
(45:45):
wife or the other day on hard facts, yeah, bullshit.
I saw a story about a couple whose home was rated.
They were supposed to be like a really nice, normal
family couple, and then the home was rated because the
husband got caught following kids around in a store and
jerking off real piece of shit. And then on the
(46:09):
dude's phone they found a bunch of videos of his
wife fucking the family's great dane. She was filming it, Yeah,
he was filming it. And there were multiple videos like
they did this a lot, even a dog to fund someone.
I know. I that's one of those things of just
(46:34):
taken for granted, right, like a.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Horse porn, like like how do you how does the
animal get that aroused for something that's not their own.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
It's a great question because like I understand the old
peanut butter thing from high school, right where you saw
something peanut butter and the dog's gonna look it off, right.
I don't know, Aaron, I just always took it for
granted that, yeah, it's a dog. Of course they're gonna
want to have sex with the person. But no, I
don't understand. You know what's going on, Great Dan just
want to have sex with you? Do we really just
(47:06):
want to send this show off on the degenerate top?
And I mean I guess we would. I guess you
have to. You have to kind of jerk off the
dog first, like to warm it up. You have to
play flupper the dog. Yeah. Anyway, risky run though, if
(47:26):
you're gonna let me, that's risk you run, just running
and ship like that.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
So I would say it is what is today? Today
is April eleventh. Football season is four months away. Yeah,
I would love to see us get to like twenty
five thirty by in the next season.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
I think we can do it. I think so too.
I think so too. I think we had incredible momentum
as sorry now chats just make me laugh. I think
we had incredible momentum at the end of the year.
The off season has been a bit of a slog,
but shout out to hit the fifteen K number. It's
ever I'm even feeling it. I'm feeling all my shows
right now. It's giving me down a little bit, but
(48:05):
it's all good. It is what it is.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
It's harder to get to the first fifteen or the
next fifteen, you think.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I think there is an inflection point where you start
to grow and it kind of tips over. So I
don't know if it's the first fifteen or the next fifteen,
but I do think at a certain point you garner
a number that when people see it, you're like, oh,
that's this is like a legitimate show, and so they're
more willing to subscribe. Right Like, if somebody has one
(48:33):
hundred thousand subscribers, you're probably going to be more willing
to click subscribe with that than if they have two.
So we are slowly but surely trying to climb that mountain.
But yeah, twenty five to thirty k would be would
be would be awesome? Yeah, I think doable. Again. I
think we've got some very exciting plans for maybe working
in some game streaming. Specifically, I want to run a
(48:55):
lot of online two v two s Aaron, Me and
you a team up online eeho Sports twenty five which
we had some news on. Let me bring that up
and we can maybe touch on it. But yeah, so
I think that's a good goal. And and uh, as
in terms of what's next, we're not going to stop
the show.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Kades the next baby let's go.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Yeah, that'd be awesome, but we are not going to Uh,
we're not gonna stop the show. I mean, our plans
are to go straight into next week. You know, we
just got to figure out all the technical stuff and
we're in the process of there right now. I think
production values may change in the short term, maybe be
a bit patient with us on the timing of getting
(49:38):
stuff up as we do then again into the off season.
So it's kind of the time to do this. And uh,
and we are shopping it around to be clear as well,
So we may end up under another company or banner
at some point, or maybe we don't. Right either ways,
we're going to Uh. Either way, we ain't going anywhere.
(50:00):
And I'm very excited because I believe in this show
and it's the most fun that I have and really
the best part about this has been to me, and
you see a lot of online creators saying this, and
it makes sense though, because it's it's intimate. But the
best part about this has been the community. Anytime somebody
tells me somewhere random that they love Snaps, I mean,
(50:21):
he's so happy. I'll never forget the day after Selection
Sunday a few months back, when or the day of
Selection Sunday, when is Florida Stake going to make it
or they're not. I'm driving to Disney, I'll stop at
a BUCkies and the fucking manager of BUCkies comes up
to me and he's like, dude, what's up. You know.
(50:43):
I was like, yeah, man, what's going He's like, oh,
I fucking love Snaps.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
He's like, I'm a.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Huge Florida State fan. You think we make it? And
I'm like, fuck, yeah, you're all gonna make It'd be
a high crime if you don't make it. If this
selection committee doesn't choose you, college football is broken. Blah
blah blah blah blah, all this other stuff. And then
I always think about my guy and I hope you're
still listening out there, because I like, not an hour later,
it came up on the screen that Alabama had made
(51:07):
it and Florida State was left out. But that was
just such a cool moment as as fresh brisket was
on the board here and the manager stop me as
a Florida State fan and be like, dude, I'm a
massive SNAPS fan. Like that made me. I'm so happy, No,
I do, I agree like that.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
The community is awesome. Hell I got that. I remember
the one time I was I was out golfing is
that where we play golf and and some old guy
came up to me. He's like, fuck it, like in
his eighties and he's like, dude, I love watching you
and that crazy motherfucker every day. Hell yeah, this dude
watches and he's like, yeah, my you know that daughter
(51:45):
son showed me YouTube and now I watch you guys
every single day. I was like, hell yeah, we got
like dudes in their eighties out here watching us, and
uh just made me crack up. So yes, we will
keep it live. I think someone of the chad said
Thomas said, whatever y'all do, keep it live like that
is to me, that is one of the most special
parts is interacting with everyone each and every day, seeing
the community grow. So that was the special part about,
(52:08):
you know, moving from the Volume channel, which was great.
So obviously this was T BOP's doing of really pushing like,
we need our own channel, we know channel, Having our
own channel to build our own audience, that is our audience,
not the Volumes audience. I think has set us up
to really continue to run pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah, that's maybe only one of my only regrets about
the entire situation is if we could have moved on
that faster, where could we have been, right, Because and
that's just a function of all of us being out
here in this new algorithmic age in which we live,
not fully understanding how all this works, where it's like, yeah,
the Volume has five hundred thousand subscribers, but they're there
(52:48):
for NBA, NFL Collinsworth or NFL. They're not necessarily there
for for college football, which has been more of a
niche type of situation anyway. Uh So, I but but whatever,
better late than never, right, I don't care. We're gonna
live in the President, But I'm super excited about it.
I think about it. Look, we we've we we've had
(53:10):
a couple of berths, right, Our original producer Ryan Bumley
had a little baby boy in the midst to do
in this show. I had a child in just awful timing.
We had an LSU Georgia SEC Championship in which you
could have done all kinds of live shows in f
It's in Atlanta, and yet I was in the hospital
when it's seeing the birth of my child. It was great, though,
(53:31):
I'll never forget it watching USC get rocked by Utah
and being pissed about it because I was a big
Utah fan and then and so we're gonna keep you
live shows and we'll continue to We're gonna try to
continue to put up shorts every day, breakout clips or
the individual segments because what the analytics show us are
y'all the live watchers are very loyal, very awesome, stick
(53:52):
around a very long time. But the growth is actually
coming from those those those individual videos and the shorts up.
So we're gonna keep uh on everyone.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Like I know, we we've talked about doing the gaming.
You know, it's that's something we're gonna do with Nancy.
The game comes out is do live gaming two v
two all that good stuff. Have some fun playing the games,
talking shop, talking, you know, talking college football. But like,
what do you guys want from us to like this,
what yeah, the community like if there are certain things
that we could possibly do or talk about, especially the
(54:24):
summer when things are a little bit you know stale. Uh,
this is our time to really experiment before football season start.
So please please let us know.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
Do you have a show? I mean both of us
getting vasectomies. Uh yeah, oh yeah you should email email
uh snaps cf B. That's gonna be the new name
of the show if we can get it. We're gonna
change it after today. Snaps uh cfb.
Speaker 3 (54:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
For all of your uh and for any thoughts that
you have on what the show could be. Where could
we go good good ideas that you'd want to see,
we'll we'll we'll have access to all of that. Royld
Painter's movie, slash, TV show, live chat, et cetera. Now,
if we ever did end up going like fully independent
like Patreon route, I think that could be some interesting stuff,
maybe some outside of football discussion. It gets a little
(55:11):
weird again with the algorithm about muddying up the waters
going too much outside of college football. Now, maybe once
the channel gets bigger, we can start to explore uh
some more of that. But we'll see but yeah, did
you have a favorite show that stands out to you? Aaron?
What do you mean like that we did over these
(55:32):
past two years? I got a couple, uh Colorado post
Colorado TCU was elect.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
When I when I almost missed my game, you know, yeah,
I mean I was literally sweating my balls off, like
when is this game go to end? Because I actually
have to go call a game.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (55:46):
And then you know you and I end up having
an incredible live stream after that Colorado win? Was it
first Nebraska?
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Was that the game? No? No, it's TCU or TCU
Colorado where I.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Literally showed up to my game, Uh, hopefully ESPN's I'm
watching this like an hour before kickoff for Sharon drive
me and dropped me off, and then she like got
stuck in crazy traffic and was like driving my truck,
which she freaking hate driving my truck. So I was
stressing about her driving my truck through Athens in traffic.
(56:16):
The ball for snaps, Uh Yeah.
Speaker 1 (56:21):
Shout out to uh pg's mentioning the live show we
didn't walk on a couple of years ago. It was
very interestingly timed because it was right at the beginning
of the show and so not that many people knew
about it. We had some people show up, and then
we had a lot of people that were just there
hanging out and got to see Snaps live. That was
a lot of fun. Del Rice says, to go back
(56:42):
and look at TV's rant On, Georgia and Bama fans
after the Natty, Uh yeah, you know, sometimes got to
put them in their place. I think the Ohio State
Michigan shows were always very fun as well. For me personally,
the show when we had Calling on after National Championship,
so you know, kind of wish Papa would have come
on maybe again after this one, but uh but after
(57:04):
that first one, that was a big moment, uh for
me certainly, just kind of professionally having him on and
everything else felt validating in uh in many ways. So
it's been a fun couple of years. But again, this
is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. We
ain't going anywhere. If Snaps will continue, If.
Speaker 2 (57:26):
Anyone wants to make a Snaps meme coin, because I
think meme season is really about to pop off.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
Soon, you know, just yes, yes, please please. Uh. Let's
that's that's the actual direction we're taking the show. We're
gonna be a crypto show that that's gonna be your bonus.
Speaker 2 (57:42):
No one really has like the sports memes, you know,
so we could be the first just saying.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
My favorite time is a teap I'm talking about. Wow, Well,
we'll probably do some more like chill streams. I'm even
though I've cooled a bit on my World Warcraft Season Discover.
Right now, I can feel my hobbies always interchange. I
was talking to my wife last night. I think your
boy's about to start building and payton some more miniatures.
I can't wait go make some Brittonian Army. I got
(58:10):
a big box just waiting to be put together at home.
But yeah, man, and look, I really cannot thank Pat Gunther,
Chris Tran, Danny Carnez, Ryan Brumley, Adam Grossi, a Christian Hunter.
Just the entire team of Volume has been so fantastic
over this last couple of years, and like I said,
(58:31):
life changing in so many different ways. I mean I
got an agent because of this show. I never had
an agent before, and now I suddenly have somebody out
there who's like advocating for me and helping create me.
Opportunity obvious as teabop, we're about starting new D and
D campaign. What class should I play? I've been ranger, rogue,
and Druid. I said it yesterday. I tend to I
(58:55):
tend to lean towards magic users and dungeons and dragons because,
especially if you like to play a very narrative version
of the game, you could just do so much ship
with spells as to really feel unlimited. And thank you
for that, Aaron, as if you give a damn about
what deity.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
Maybe maybe this is the great thing when today, of
all days, when Bob goes on his rants, I'm just
watching the Masters right now, so yeah, he's fine, and
I just throw a couples in here as.
Speaker 1 (59:27):
People and ship's who's winning right now?
Speaker 2 (59:32):
Who is up right now? I don't know who's up
right now. I'm watching like a whole four, five, and six.
They've been shown like a whole score on watching Fitzpatrick. Uh.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
Maybe where I'm at for the next couple of hours,
I'm very healthy sounding my boy off.
Speaker 2 (59:47):
Let's good.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
But uh but yeah, thank you all so much. We
love you. Okay, So ways you can help out the
show though in the short term obviously again algorithm right,
hit the like button, share it with your friends. Anytime
you have a high light to view ratio, that naturally
pushes out the shows onto recommended channels. So like a
(01:00:09):
lot of the people who watch PET when they get
done with a video, YouTube will put our video in
there afterwards because they know they're into college football. So
that that certainly helps quite a bit. If you listen
on pod rating and reviewing always helps. That helps, it
gets pushed out as well. And so there's just a
couple of freeways that you can help out the boys here.
(01:00:30):
And yes, one day I will get Aaron to do
a Dungeons and Dragons one off. We'll set it up,
we'll get it. We'll get a dungeon master. Get somebody
else in here with us as well. I know part
of my take actually has done the D and D thing,
and I listened to the first time my friend the
other day, and it's pretty it's it's pretty good. It's
just fun. It's just so much fun. Anybody can play
(01:00:50):
D and D as well. All right, I think that's it.
I think that's it. Thank you so much. We will
see you Monday, and again a massive thank you to
the volume by Monday. I believe Snap's CFB is the
plan on where you'll find it, but we'll continue to
(01:01:10):
update you on Twitter and everything else. But we love you,
thank you for being a part of this, and we
look forward to the future. We'll see you on Monday.
