Speaker 3 (01:19):
Wist So stuck in twenty ball and they go a
whizz So, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Too bad, but what did you expect? It's a podcast
called twenty five Whistles twenty line win. Alright, walk home,
blow the westll please? Hey you got your sexy player
Eddie Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
I saw that. I mean yeah, let's yeah. I mean
I was excited to see it come down.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's fantastic for two reasons. One,
he was Pittsburgh's number one. They really didn't have a quarterback.
He's kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah right, you can already be, but you.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Can only be so crazy if you're not the best player.
And he was the best player. He was their number one.
You get a little more freedom to be crazy when
you're the number one. He's going to a place now
where he's not the number one. Ceedee Lamb is easily
the number one, so you don't get that liberty anymore.
He's probably still a little bit crazy, but he's also awesome.
Like he is, He's awesome, and it is going to

(02:17):
help Ceedee Lamb so much because they didn't have a
number two like they they had a number four trying
to be a number two for the last year year
and a half. Right, So I mean, when Cooks is
your guy, and we can roll through a few of
those guys that played and Cooks was hurt, like, this
is great for Ceedde Lamb, this is great for dak.

(02:40):
I think this is awesome. If you're a Cowboys fan,
I'm probably you're not pumped up about it.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
I guess I was just still confused that they didn't
they didn't draft a receiver, and that was confusing to me.
And now I'm thinking, like, was this in the plan
the whole time?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Didn't they only like give cast considerations or something, And
that makes me feel like Pittsburgh just wanted to get
rid of them. But again, it's probably as he is.
He'll still remain problematic, but you can only be so
problematic when you're not the.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Guy yeah, I think that's picks two draft picks. I
think twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Draft any high ones though, third and a sixth. Yeah, okay,
I didn't see that. That's great. That okay cool. That
means Pittsburgh attached some value to him then and just
didn't want to get rid of him. I think it's awesome.
If I'm a Cowboys fan, I'm fired up about this.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, it's funny you call it a sexy pick because
I didn't see it and look at sexy immediately. I
saw it as like, okay, cool, let's see how this goes.
But I didn't call I didn't look at it as
sexy yet.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't know how. He's one of the most dynamic
wide receivers in the NFL right now when he's playing
the catches that he's able to make his highlight real
is almost as good as anybody's in the NFL. I
would say it's exactly sexy. Kevin.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean, if I were ready, i'd
be pumped. I'm kind of too. Looking at the third
it was actually a fifth, not a six and uh,
I mean, shoot, I'd be pumped.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
The Patriots got him.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
I know he's like you said, he's kind ahead, but
what receiver isn't honestly, see what what good receiver?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Ana Seede, Lamb's got a good head on his shoulders.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Man, Okay, well you didn't you have to go a
blouts last year.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
It's a little mouthy, gets a little mouthy, but nothing crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, but that's our point. All receivers do that. Yeah,
but Pickens, when you're on a bad team without a quarterback,
you tend to be malthy, or especially when you're more
important than the quarterback or you're better than the quarterback.
But see he can't do that because they're paying back
fifty hundred million dollars right ceedee, Lamb's not king dingling
of that team. Kind of on the offense, George Pickens
was the king Dingling of the team. Like who offensively?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Not you hare that?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Nobody that nobody not your here? Yeah no, no, no
no no. If I'm a Cowboys fan, I absolutely love this.
I feel like he's made for Dallas too.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
What is mean?

Speaker 5 (04:48):
He's just gonna love the spotlight, loved the helmet, loved
Jerry Jones, like he just got to stay out of fights. Man,
Hopefully they don't thin gets suspended or fine.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think again, because he's not gonna to be given
like total autonomy of his actions. He's not going to
act like that. So it is a good scall for him.
I agree. Yeah. Do you know where Pickens play? College boydy?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
George Pickens played at Oh? He played with Dak in
Mississippi State.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, with Dak, how old do you think he is?
The confidence just so good though? No, I don't know
so and he Pickens was awesome even as a freshman
at Georgia. Oh, Georgia, so yeah, Georgia bulldog man.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well you guys convinced me, man, I mean when it
came down, I'm telling you, I was just like, Okay,
I like it, but I'm not too.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah you should love it.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Okay, good?

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, Like who, I don't know. I guess you can
go through sit here and think all day. But is
there anybody else? I'm just saying, like that's on the
chopping block or a trade rumor that you've heard this offseason.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
We're like, oh, I'd rather have it back.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
I did see him Amari Cooper, but like we're not.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Gonna, Oh he's still free agent, you get him. I'm
not doing that wait, didn't you have him?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, we had him and then we let him go.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
But yeah, that you want somebody he already had?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
No, no, no, no, it was I mean he was.
He's still good. He's just had he had a lot
of injuries when he was with the Cowboys, So that's
just the only one. I thought, like, oh, maybe they
think about getting him back.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
But no, that's the least sexy thing ever to go
back to your ex.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Right back with your tail tucked.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh especially, I've already been through a couple other people. Yeah,
if you're a Cowboys fan, that that's awesome, unless you're Eddie.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Oh dude, I'm just this is so weird. I've never
been in this position where like every year I've always
been like, oh, okay, well let's go, let's roll next year.
I cannot wait, new team, new everything. And this I'm
just not feeling it. Maybe it's because when we talked
to Emmitt Smith, he was like, man, it's going to
be a bit do we get to the Super Bowl again?
And maybe just hearing so much intel from insiders that

(06:46):
know things like Dion and Emmett that are just like
Michael Irvin, who are just not hopeful for the Cowboys
in the near future. So maybe that's just where I'm
at right now. And if in the draft came by,
there wasn't anything any anyone crazy. They passed on Matthew Golden,
which was nuts to me. We didn't even try to
get ash And Genty, which was nuts to me. So
that's just where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
So when I know that you didn't try to get
Ashton Genty, he was just drafted way ahead of what
you had, I mean, you don't know that you're saying
things now that you don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Just what I thought would happen but didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I think everything you said is actually the opposite of
what you feel. Because the Cowboys did so many non
stupid things during the draft, which is a bit different
than what they normally do, that I think I would
be feeling great about it.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, the Cowboys are usually pretty good at drafting. They're
just mostly players that don't we haven't really heard of,
but they know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
And you're talking about Lineman, Yeah, I know, and they
end up being really good for us. And I think EMMITTT.
Smith is sad because one it was pre draft and
two who they don't have a running back. They didn't
have a second wide receiver. Now they have a second
wide receiver. Right now, you stin't have a running back.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
We have the rookie Jaden Blue.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
You have nothing, right you have nothing?

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Right now? We have nothing?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, right now, you have nothing.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Let's see who we get. We need a sexy running back.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't think you need a sexy running back. I
think you need one of the running backs that you
don't have. I mean you have everybody that's played for
every team, second third string over the past few years. Yeah,
you're running back room sucks.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
What do you think happened with Dalvin Cook? Because that
was interesting. They picked him up last year and we
never saw him.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Ah, wasn't that good? I forgot about that, Yeah, because
I think if he was, he would have definitely played.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Me we would have seen.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
He barely came off to practice squad, right right.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, he never played.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
And then a Mark Cooper, I mean he signed with
the Bills or got traded I can't remember which one was.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Halfway through the season.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
You never even saw him on the Bills and the Bills,
I like they're loaded with the receivers anyway, Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
I like it making moves.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I'm starting to think the Cowboys have a little have
a little something.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
To So you're saying that just to get my hopes up.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm not. I'm not at all. Coach Dan Mullen coming
up in just a little bit. Coach Mullen. He was
so dumb when he was fired from Florida. It really was.
And he's at UNLV now we've had him on the show.
At him on the show a couple of years ago.
When he first left Florida, now he's going to UNLV
is so dumb. I mean, he had winning years. He won,

(09:15):
he won, he won, He had one year about five hundred.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
And they fired him.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
So yeah, I'm probably going to say that if I'm
guessing what I'm going to say, I'm probably going to
say that to him. But also because i know we
already pre recorded the interview, so that exactly, Yeah, Coach
Dan maullin coming up. A new study suggests that people
with mental disorders are more likely to be left handed.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Uh, oh, that's you.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'm trying to side if I'm offended or I'm like
heck yeah. A researchers compared data from over two hundred
thousand individuals and found people with a lot of stuff, schizophrenia, autism,
other neuro developmental disorders show higher rates of left handedness
compared to general population. The study published and the Psychological
Bolton shows hand preferences often beginning even before birth, with

(10:01):
prenatal thumb sucking at ten weeks of pregnancy being a
good indicator of hand preference later in life. Were you
a thumbsucker Prenatalie? Don't know, dude, don't have any pictures
in the womb, didn't have a cell phone then, couldn't
do any selfies. One good slice of news for lefties
depression depression. This calcula which Eddie has pedophilia? Which Kevin
I'm just kidding showed No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
He got it real quick.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
It was just it was just me doing a little stick,
you know. Showed no significant difference as left handed people
are not that thank god.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
So you I mean, but how do I do?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I think I'm a bit on the spectrum, Yeah, a
little bit probably, Like I'm probably scraping it.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Right, Like there's normal right, Like there's no normal human being.
You're not it?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Wait what You're not a normal person, and I agree.
I agree, But what context are you talking at when
I say it doesn't feel so bad when somebody else
says that it oddly hurts? I know, I know why
Am I not normal? It's real?

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Go ahead, You do things differently than everyone else, Okay,
I free you. You are obsessive, You go too hard
at things when you really shouldn't, like competitive, like pickleball.
It's just in your nature. You have a hard time
like enjoying things.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Couldn't allow that be based in trauma though, Is it
from a.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Totally yeah, yeah, But I mean I'm just you know,
you have these these little things to you and then
I'm not gonna call them disorders, but they are little
things to you, and and you're left handed. So I'm
saying it's kind of falls into place.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Here, I think, if not on, I'm very close, like
I'm like next door neighbors in a neighborhood where the
houses almost touch each other to being on the spectrum.
If I were to guess, I've never taken a test.
I have high I have hyper focus. I don't my
communication skills At times, I don't realize that they're so
odd and awkward. My wife will tell me that I

(12:00):
just will walk away from conversations, and I don't do
it because I'm thinking I'm done with the conversation. I'm
just like, must move on, and I don't know, it's
just weird. I'm kind of jealous of that one due
when you do that, that's so awesome. I don't do
it on purpose. I'm not proving a point now. I
know you just do it, but I'm telling you like,
I can't. My body will not allow me to do that.
I just kind of like staring, like I have to
be here, I can't leave. I'm stuck and not you.

(12:22):
You're just like I'm leaving. But again, it's not a
thought I have. Where it is. I am bored, I'm
going to be rude and walk away. It is almost
a lack of understanding of what humans are supposed to do.
So I just said, all right, I think I'll go now.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
It's pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
And my wife at first when we got married, would
be like offended by it. And I think now she's
I'll start walking away and she's like, hey, you're doing it, huh.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
She grabs you.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
She's like, we're still in the middle of something, and
I'm not mad or anything. I was like, oh, yeah,
that's probably good point. I should just finish this conversation.
There's a YouTuber named Lucas Ball aka Pigmy. He didn't
sit down for five days.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Oh I can't do that. Stand like he stood up
for five days straight.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, to test the health benefits of avoiding prolonged sitting
five days. He wanted to do it for a week. Well,
he wanted to do it for a week. He cut
the challenge short on day five. Standing all day isn't
a magic fix. Experts recommend alternating between sitting and standing. Yeah, no, cray.
He also got you also got to sleep right.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Laying down is part of it.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's from the New York Post. I didn't want to
put somebody on my YouTube Bobby Bones channel, not the
show one, but and pay them to count out loud
to one hundred thousand.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Hard that just see if they can do it.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I guess ibody a thousand bucks and you have
to count out loud one, two, three, and I would
give a reward if anybody catches them. Not they get
a one hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
Did you know? Would be the hardest part is just
keeping count Yes, yeah, like you would get.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Focused three hundred and nineteen eight hundred.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh god, that's tough.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
You don almost just have to be by yourself in
a room or something right, which would also drive you crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
But you still have to concentrate on what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Would you take that challenge for one thousand dollars?

Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:18):
I would take the challenge, but I don't think I
can complete it. I don't think my mind I do
it to. My mind would just go somewhere else. Like
when I read a book. I'll go one page where
I'm reading, reading, and then next thing you know, I'm
still my eyes are still reading, but my mind's think
of something else.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay, I said, how long to count to one hundred thousand?
To count to one hundred thousand out loud? Here's the
rough estimate. Average person takes about one second per number,
so one hundred thousand seconds, so twenty seven point seven
eight hours. It would take nearly twenty eight hours of
non stop counting to reach one hundred thousand. No breaks, no.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Stumbles, no no terrible you have to.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I'd pay somebody one thousand bucks to do that live
on my YouTube channel if they could do it now
A million to count to a million.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
A million, that would take a week.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I think mister Beast did it, and it took him
forty hours to do a million, to do one hundred thousand.
Oh oh that's already been done. Yeah, that's kind of
how we blew up. Oh, I'm like ten years behind Beast.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
We're not doing that thing.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Thousand, Hey, one hundred thousand and five. Yeah, there you go.
So to count to a million, what do you think?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
What do you think?

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Like?

Speaker 1 (15:26):
How a guy did it? A guy did this in
two thousand and seven. A million, yep, that's before YouTube.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
What's so stupid is it is sound It actually sounds
easy like you're just counting right, But there's no way
and especially forty hours for one hundred thousand, like that'd
be dude, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
If no eating, no sleeping, no breaks, which I'm not
saying would be the rule, but it would take twelve
straight days to count to a milliond A guy named
Jeremy Harper did it in two thousand and seven. It
took him eighty nine days. He live streamed it. He
went to sleep, but wake up and would count again,
so it took him eighty nine days. He livestream sixteen

(16:06):
hours a day.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Eighty nine days. What is that like? Four months?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well, thirty thirty days in a month, it's.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Almost three I knew you're going to do the mass
well before.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
You could have figured that out real quick.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Yeah, three months, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
The world record for the most push ups in an hour?
How many could you do Eddie.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
In an hour? I can probably do one hundred.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
You could do more than one hundred an hour.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Dude. My arm is so bad now I can barely
do ten push ups.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh so yours is injury based? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Oh yeah, that was healthy.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
One hundred and ten.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
We rock it.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Three two hundred and six push ups in an hour.
That's that's fifty three per minute. What was herschel Walker's deal?
Remember we tried that he'd wake up and do whatever.
It was like two hundred push ups, two hundred sit
ups a day. Something, that was what it was. I
don't know what it is, but yeah, the most digits
of Pie recited is one hundred thousand digits.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
He memorized pie three point one, dude, But for one
hundred thousand digits, I only know three point one four? Yeah,
whatever it is that's three point one two like an idiot.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
But yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
The longest time standing still the human statue record.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
It.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
This is Times Square. The guy dresses silver.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Oh yeah, wait think about that one.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
I mean it's got to be like a week or something, right.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
No, no, no, no chance, no chance standing still? Oh yeah,
not just standing because no laning, no sitting, no talking,
just standing still.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Okay. Twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Thirty five hours. Longest plank ever held.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
I did a five minute plank one time.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
And that's what made it. Wow Eddie Garcia five minutes, Nashville, Tennessee.
Wow Wow. Nine hours, thirty minutes and one second.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
I'm gonna guests like six hours.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Dang yeah held hours, Yeah, absolutely steal. The longest time
spending a fidget spinner. On one hand, I feel like
you did that forever, you know, thirteen minutes dude?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Oh really yeah? And then I guess it just falls off.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, or you die. That's the movie. You will stay
alive as long as you can spend the fidgitter. Finally,
the longest time without sleep. This person did it for
a school science project. That sounds dangerous without sleep, so
it can't be like a year you're done, right? Eight days?

(18:40):
Oh can you imagine?

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Not that many? Four four days?

Speaker 1 (18:45):
So I'll tell you. But after day four of this
he was hallucinating. But he made it eleven days. Wow,
eleven days. That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
So he made it through. Like after four days, he
and the rest of the time he's just like seen stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I wonder if you what if that's how we get
to other dimensions?

Speaker 4 (19:09):
What about Why can't it just be your brain as freaking.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Out it could? But what if your brain has to
get to a certain place because of exhaustion or because
and that's how you get to other dimensions and you
get to or talk to people in the afterlife.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Kevin, this is where he loses me.

And now former Florida head coach. Former Mississippi State head coach, which,
by the way, when you coach to Asissippi State, they
were number one. I think it's the only time Mississippi
State has been number one in college football. Former head
coach of DAK Prescott Eddie, that's right, former quarterback coach
of Tim Tebow. He had Alex Smith, Kyle Trask of

(21:15):
Florida and now he's the head coach of UNLV. Here
he is coach Dan Mullen, Hey, coach, Good to see
you again. You too, how you been you know, not
as busy as you I don't think you know, because
follow you on social and it's a lot anyway. But
when you just have to hit the ground running like
you did, especially because you've been out for a few years,

(21:36):
I think a lot of a lot has changed, even
though you've been still in you know, doing the television stuff.
Like what's different right now than three four years ago?

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Welly, so much is different right now, but it's being
out for the last couple of years I think has
really helped me with that. It is getting to see
all the changes from afar and not have to live
them on a daily basis from the you know, the
approach within recruiting, how recruiting is affected by NIL, how
the transfer portal affects your program from year in to
year out, how you build you know, kind of one

(22:09):
year teams, two year teams, and then still build a
program on top of that. So many of those things
have changed. But you don't have to change your values
of a coach. You don't have to change your values,
how you're developed players. You don't have to change who
you are on a daily basis. Just your approach on
how things are kind of managed and run are a
little bit different. And you know that was great to

(22:31):
be on the outside to get to see it and
formulate a new plan before I got back in.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Do you guys have a general manager yet? Are you
guys going to get a general manager?

Speaker 6 (22:37):
Oh? Yeah, well Lee Davis, she's she's our chiefest staff
and our general manager as well. She's been with me
a long time and it's she does a fantastic job.
But she did a great job putting he roster together
this year.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask, like, what
is her specific role?

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Well, she got overseas a lot. But I mean when
she deals with all the players, she's dealing like, you know,
with contacts of raising money through the helping with the collective,
getting my life in order where I need to go,
point me in the right direction. But you know it
is a little different. A lot of the players are
going to meet with me. I'm going to go through
how we're going to develop you, how we're going to
coach you, what your role is in football in the program,

(23:16):
you know, and then I you know, they don't discuss
any of the money, any of that stuff with me.
That's all done through the collective and she works with
them to get that done.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
You should have never had to leave Florida. I say,
I've said it many times. It should have never happened.
So I'm assuming you had many calls over the years
going hey, you want to hop back in coach why UNLV?

Speaker 6 (23:38):
You know that is I did have a lot of calls,
and there was I had to get excited about it,
you know, there was you to get a call and
be like, okay, trying to talk yourself into the what's
great about this job? And if you have to talk
yourself into what's great about the job. It's not the
job for you. So you know, I came out here
a couple of years ago. Tim Tebow was getting put
into the College Football Hall of Fame. I stopped by

(23:59):
the I'm like, wow, you know they we have better
fields facilities here at UNLV than anything I ever had
at Florida. And I said, this is that's kind of cool.
We play in a Legion stadium. I'm like, all right,
we have the newest best stadium in America. Uh so
those are things. Check the box. Check the box, don't
have to hassle with A year goes by. Alex Smith
gets in the Hall of Fame. I'm out here in Vegas.

(24:21):
Eric Harper a d Is is like, hey are you
I heard you're in town. I could I meet with you.
I was down at Southern Highland's golf course playing some
golf and I'm like sure. My wife was like, is
he just coming to you trying to help him, you know,
point him in the right direction to hire a coach.
And I said, well, I think it might be more
than that, but we'll see. And he, you know, we

(24:44):
kind of sat together and when I put it all together,
when you look at the facilities, you look at we
were a game away from the college football playoff. I
didn't have to I don't have to come in and rebuild.
I just have to help us take the next step.
So there are so many things in place that checked
all the boxes for me, whether you know, the opportunity
that we can win. Everything's in place for you to
win with facilities and all of that stuff. Then it

(25:06):
got down to location. And to be honestly, I love Vegas.
I think it's a fantastic place. It's an awesome place,
a great place to live, great place to raise a family.
You know, I think I got the Strip right behind me.
So I have the sports and entertainment capital of the
world just at your fingertips. Even though you know you
only need to head down to the Strip, you know

(25:27):
when you when you need to, when when you have
an event to go to.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm pretty close to coach Odom and he loved it there.
And I wonder if the dynamic is different when someone
leaves to go to a new program versus when someone
is fired, meaning well that person. Could you reach out
to coach Odam and go, hey, a couple questions about
you know, some part of the system can that canon.
Does that happen?

Speaker 6 (25:49):
Yeah, I think it can happen a lot of a
lot of both ways, depending on how it goes. But obviously,
as you touched on it, it's two totally different situations
that you walk into. You know, my wife's just like, hey,
your first team meeting and you to get after everybody.
I said, well, well, honey, for half the kids I
just signed and the other half one eleven games with
a three point two GPA, there's nothing to yell at.

(26:12):
You know, when you're taking over a program that hasn't won,
you're coming in saying, hey, you know it hasn't worked before.
We're going to implement some new ways and this is
how we're going to do things. You know, when you
come in here, I said, hey, I have my way
of doing things, but a lot of guys in the program.
Tell me what you liked, tell me what we've done well,
tell me what helped us win eleven games last year,

(26:33):
because we got to win one more and get into
the College Football playoff. And you know, but I don't
want to just come in and change everything. So I
do think it is a different mindset, of different attitude
when you take over a program that has been winning
in a coach left compared to one where a coach
got let go and you're trying to kind of change everything.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
What did you like about doing television?

Speaker 6 (26:53):
I say it was a great time, you know. I
mean one year with great people, you know, I working
with Matt Berry for all those years, you know, and
then with with Harry Lyles doing the games, and then
Joey Galloway on the weekends in studio and Matt and
I kind of Matt and I jumping around. We had
so much fun. You're with really good people all the time.
I really enjoyed it. You're talking football, you know, I

(27:15):
mean like you're sitting there. We'd sit all around Saturday,
You're in the studio and you're watching football games, and
every couple of hours they threw you on TV to
go talk about it. I mean, you know, with the
exception of having you know, a couple of beers in
my hand or a cocktail or two, you know, I
probably would have been doing the same thing at home,
so they were paying me to do it. It was
it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the

(27:36):
TV lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Was the plan to eventually get back into coaching. And television,
which just kind of like take a break or conto
it too back in coaching, or if you just love
television so much, did you think maybe I'll just do
this forever.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yeah, I was thinking of staying with TV. It was
you know, it had to be, I always said to
the family. Had to be the exact right opportunity I
had had. I had gotten a bunch of calls over
the last couple of years and it just didn't feel right.
And you know, I a lot of it. You know,
things had to check the box for me, but it
also had to hit the gut. And somehow UNLV kind

(28:09):
of hit the gut for me and that this felt right,
and you know that's what got me really excited to
get back in. And if it didn't, you know, we
were very happy with the TV lifestyle. My wife was
kind of you know, her her question was not was
not like, hey, UNLV this or it was always are
you sure? Are you sure? Aren't we kind of pseudo

(28:30):
retired and you're getting ready to have about you know,
eight months off in the off season and you know,
enjoy life and you know, but you know, once you
have that little bit of a calling, it started to
hit as a coach that you wanted to get back.
You know, that calling to help help make impact on
young people's lives be around it. I've loved every day

(28:50):
since I've been back here, and I love being here
at UNLV.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Whenever you get the job, how quickly do you target
some of the players to have those conversations of Hey,
I'm here, I want you to be here.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
You know you the benefit I guess on TV, I
got to watch all of them, so I knew a
lot of players around the country watching games every single weekend.
So that was a lot of fun to be able
to do that, to be able to see the guys.
You know, you had your kind of a list of
guys that you've seen that you would you know in
the fact of your mind, like, hey, these are impact players.
But meeting one, I came in and looked at the

(29:21):
team and said, hey, I chose you, you didn't choose me.
You're all welcome to stay. I know it's a transfer
portal world, and you know, everybody's welcome to stay, And
if you'd like to stay, that's fantastic and try to
see what the new program's all about. And if you don't,
that's fine too, let me know, we'll go out get
some players. But I had a pretty good list of

(29:42):
guys at different positions that I really was interested in
when if I took the job.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Do you ever just sit at the TV desk and
draw plays, like make up new plays, because you're just
like the lox is and it would you do that?

Speaker 6 (29:55):
You know, every once in a while, I'd be like,
what are they doing here? You know, it's always great
on TV. You're always right on television, right, I mean,
you're undefeated. You're never wrong, like what are they doing?
They should have done this, they should have done that.
But you do you take some notes on things you
see that are really good. I think that getting away
from the game and getting to see IF football over
the last couple of years, you know, instead you get

(30:16):
you get out of your kind of regular routine. I'm
getting to watch every team in America, every type of offense,
every type of defense, a lot of different special teams,
different situations that go on, and you sit there on
a Saturday and get to see all of it, and
it's it certainly helps the cause coming back in and
it kind of gives you a little bit for your thoughts.
You know, because being away from it, you get your coaches.

(30:38):
We're such routine people, you know that all of a sudden,
I've been out of my routine for a couple of years,
and I'm able to reset my whole routine coming back in,
which is kind of hard to do if you're doing
it from one day to the next.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm glad you're you and LV. I'll say it again,
Florida really screwed up. There was no reason for that
to have happened. Is there like a morning period after
that happens. How much obviously you love Florida, but where
you're like, man, like, I'm not I'm not coaching anymore.
Is there that like two a couple of months.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
You know what? I think the first couple of months,
you're you kind of catch your breath, you know what
I mean. You're like, you have like the nervous tick
of checking your phone. You wake up at three o'clock
in the morning and you're like, I got nothing to
worry about right now. It's it's a whole new feel
that way, and you know, but all of a sudden,

(31:30):
then you start getting used to it and enjoying the lifestyle.
You know, one of the first things I got to do,
I remember is going to one of my son's basketball games.
It's like, hey, Dad, thanks for coming to the game.
I know a lot of times you can never come
to my games because you're you know, you got recruited,
you got coaching, you got the team, you got all
these other things. And so, you know, for me, that
was so amazing to get to be able to do

(31:51):
that and realize there's so much out there in life,
you know, just besides football, and you know, and I
got really enjoy that aspect of things. You know, even
though you know your call, you kind of know your
you know your calling in life, you have your you
know you you you love what you do. You know

(32:12):
you're when you're calling in life is to impact people's lives,
make positive impact on young people's lives, and do it
through the game of football.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
You know you kind of miss it, Yeah, I would
miss it pretty quickly. I think I would like sleeping
in though that's the hardest part of my job. We
have to wake up at four in the morning every
freaking day. What was the best part about what was
the was the best part? Just like letting letting your
like organs calm down, from always being so tense.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
It was your you were relaxed. I mean it was
that first breath you took was like, you know, and
then all of a sudden, you know, spending twenty years
in the SEC, you start going around and you see
life a little bit and you realize you're, like, boy,
I didn't know that the whole world didn't revolve around
SEC football. I thought that's all that mattered in the

(32:57):
entire world. And you know, you get at and you
start living life and enjoying other things, and it was,
you know, it's kind of the ability. It was like
a huge weight just gets lifted off of you and
you're like kind of like and it was it was nice,
but you know, when you're used to having that weight

(33:19):
on your shoulders. I always say to everybody here, I
want to win. I want to create expectations at UNLV
that put the weight right back on my shoulders because
that's just what I'm used to, that expectation of winning.
I think we're in a place where people are really
excited they have one championships here at UNLB. I want
to win championships and get it to the point where
we're expected to win championships here, and that's just kind

(33:43):
of our crazy personality that all us coaches haves. We're
all we're all kind of a little bit out there,
you know in ways that way. I know you would
you talk coach, You're like, what, these guys are a
little bit nuts. But that's just kind of the expectations
we like to put on ourselves.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
You talk about Alex Smith, then you were out there
for the Hall of Fame for Alex What was he
like as a player? Like what separated him as a
college player?

Speaker 6 (34:04):
You know, he was so special. He is. He's one
of the most intelligent people you're ever going to meet
on you know, I think he graduated college in two years.
And his ability to process information, you know, I mean,
we would I had to change how I coached after
coaching him, because you know, you'd sit there and say, hey,
remember we you know we had this, we did this

(34:26):
three weeks ago. And he can recall every single check,
every play, why we checked it, what the defensive look
was that we wanted to run it against. And he could.
He was so smart to process information so well, And
I think that's one of the most important things at
the quarterback position is the ability to be able to process,
and he did that so well it kind of got

(34:48):
to it. It almost made you lazy as a coach
because you know, I mean he would sit there and
I'd be like, hey, remember we did this, you know
last year. He'd be like, oh yeah, I was on
that play. Like okod okay, so let's move on. He
made life so easy for you. But the ability to
talk football, you know, we were so close. He's just

(35:10):
such an amazing person as well.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
With Tibo, when you were the OCN quarterback coach of Florida,
when he comes in, is he a young leader or
did he kind of wait his minute before he started
being that guy.

Speaker 6 (35:22):
I think he was really smart about his leadership. He
was going to come in and lead by example day one.
You know. And if you know Tim the work ethic,
the drive, the type of person he is, you know
that that leadership he just exudes in his personality. He
let that come out day one. Now, Chris League on

(35:44):
that team when he showed up, was the senior quarterback,
and I think you know he kind of worked with Chris.
It was not Hey, I'm coming in to lead the
whole team. I'm going to work with you as the leader.
Of this team, but I'm going to be able to
lead in the way that I just can myself on
a daily basis. And I think that, you know, that
was a really good combination between those two helped us

(36:07):
win the national Championship, and I think their combination together
really helped make that work.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah. I hated that year because, uh we played Arkansas
played you guys in the ste Championship and I went
to Atlanta and you just Leak would run the offense
and TiVo would just shove it down in the end
zone and is a miserable I was.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
A Hey, the Urban called that fake punt back deep
in our goal line. You know the funniest thing about
back I think we were winning at halftime and Jermy Foles,
the a D sticks his head in the box and said, hey,
USC just lost, so if we win, we go to
the National Championship. And I said, oh fantastic. I think
our first two possessions were a pick six and a

(36:47):
fumble returned for a touchdown, and I'm like like, oh
my goodness. And then we went three and out and
Urban called the fake punt. That kind of turned the
game and we took it over from that.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, that sucks. You remember that. I remember, and I
broke my tooth like during the game because I eating popcorn.
I broke my tooth at halftime and then after it
was it was miserable, but I just remember, leave t
bow and now I feel sad again. Hey coach, I'm
I'm super pumped at that you're back in. I think
you know they deserve you, and you deserve them and

(37:19):
screw everybody else, is what I say before you came
on in Vegas. You are you gotta drink a lot
of water. You drink a lot of water. Coach.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
You got, you gotta hotch a we got, I mean
you got. I got to see Kerry Underwood. I saw
Darius Rugger the other night the playoffs. I mean, you
have every shot. I can go to every UFC fight.
We've got Kenny Chesney's coming to this sphere in a
couple of weeks. That's going to be an unbelievable show.
It's all right here. I give this the spurs about it.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
You know, a half mile down the road, we we're
rooting for you. Coach. Thank you for the time. I
can't wait. Are you doing Spring game? By the way,
are you guys doing that, like most are off now,
So what's happening.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
We just did a scrimmage, you know. I guess the
one thing is I called up and I said, all right,
we have a spring game. What's going on at Allegian Stadium?
And I said, well, coach, you got a little problem
for your spring game. I said, what It's called WrestleMania.
They're taking the stadium over. So you know, there are
the pluses and minuses of all of that, right, you know,
I have all of this, and they're like, hey, here's

(38:17):
the minus. You can't have a spring game in your stadium.
Here's the plus. You can go to WrestleMania if you want.
So there's a little bit of give and take of it.
Oh well, coach, Yeah, we had a spring scribbitch. We
had a great time.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Have a great rest of the day. Thank you for
the time. We're pulling for you guys this year, and
hopefully we'll come out there and see you sometime.

Speaker 6 (38:34):
Awesome anytime, anytime, Great to be with you, go revs.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Thanks coach. Have the ten biggest football cliches, and let's
see if we still agree with them. Eddie, Okay, I'll
read it to you. Tell me if you agree with it,
I'll do the same. Number one, you can't win without
a run game.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
That's kind of changed a little bit. I say, no,
I don't agree with that one anymore.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I think if you have a run game, it helped
you win a lot more. I mean, we saw the
Eagles actually win a Super Bowl. Defense a big part
of that, yes, but Saquan really was the X factor.
It gives you more opportunities when you have a run game.
But I would also say the Chiefs haven't had a
real run game.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
So I think I would change it till you can't
win without a really good quarterback.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
There you go. You know, so let's get rid of
that cliche.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
I think it still does matter, So I'm not gonna
get rid of.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
It, never even talking about, like, you know how just
the games changed so much where we may not even
need a running back at some point.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
That's I think it's penalolament back that we're running backs
that are super important. Again. Just because the Chiefs did
it in a different way doesn't mean that everybody can
do it that way. Because Andy Reid builds offenses in
a specific way that isn't running specific. I think you
need some sort of run game to win unless you
have a Hall of Fame coach. Is that a cliche?
Sounds like, unless you have a Hall of Fame coach,

(39:56):
you need to have some sort of running game. Yeah,
let's make it one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'sunding a good one. Okay,
all right. West Coast teams can't win early games on
the East Coast.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
I think it's I think that goes back and forth,
kind of like the first one. I think goes back
and forth. I think that stays. I think that's still valid.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I think it's really hard for either side to go
all the way across the country and win a game
because our bodies and the body clocks that we have,
even if we don't feel like it's a big deal,
they're used to performing at certain times. And I think
from a West Coast having to go play in the
East Coast, that's the biggest shift because noon is freaking
eight am. Yeah, you're going too late to early. I

(40:38):
do think that this is true. West Coast teams have
a harder time winning on the East Coast. It's a
big deal to switch time zones anyway, but West to
East is really bad unless you're going east to west
and you're playing the late late game, which feels like
you be playing it at midnight then, right, So I
think this is for the most part still true. Running
quarterbacks don't last in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
That's true. I would say Mark Jackson has proven us
wrong on that a little bit. But I think for
the most part, like I remember Anthony Richardson, like that's
just tough.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
But he's lasting. That's not because he's a runner. It's
because he's just he had like eight starts his whole
career in college.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
I think that's a maturity thing. I think running quarterbacks
do last now in the NFL more because the actually
know how to run offensive with running quarterbacks, and they
know where to put them.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
For the most part, when to slide.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Maybe I think there's been an education even on the
linement and how athletic the linemen are now there has
been a change in what offensive linemen need to do
and where to put them in order for quarterbacks that
do move around to be able to move around and
perform at a higher level. So I do not think
that this is true. I would disagree. I would say unning,
but running uarterbacks do last longer because they've had to,

(41:44):
because so many do. The game's changing around them. And yeah,
and I think situationally too, the quarterbacks have had to.
I think college football has changed the NFL because of
how wide open college football was, and that has now
turned itself into the NFL a bit. It is weird, though,
on a college football player who's a juniors making more
money than a third year NFL starter because of an
IL Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Do you believe in momentum?

Speaker 4 (42:06):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (42:08):
I think momentum is only confidence. I don't only believe
in momentum for the sake of momentum. Like, oh, they
got the momentum going for them, the ball is going
to bunce to where I think if you just play
confident and loose generally you're better anyway. But that's momentum, right.
It can be like the Eagles in the Super Bowl momentum.
But you can also have momentum. You can also have
confidence without momentum. Sure, I don't thinking that momentum without confidence, yeah,

(42:29):
the way you said.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
It, the confidence without momentum, I don't think that wins.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, I do, because you go into a game without
any momentum. It starts with no moment.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Because that confidence can get busted. It bursted really quick,
where you're just like, okay, now I don't have the
confidence because we're losing. But momentum, I.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Think we learned a lot about you in that statement
right there. Yeah, right, I think we learned a lot
about Eddie is a competitor. Right, They're like, I have
no confidence.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
Du give it because you go confident, right, You're like
I got this, and then after you start getting beat
you're just like, I'm not going to run this game.
We're done.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
I'm the opposite. We're done. Will I will be confident
when it sucks, Like my confidence, I have a rational confidence.
You can lose it for like a second, but then
you got to be like all right, let's get back it.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
But when that momentum is going, you're like, I got this, baby,
keep it going.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Well.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
So I tell you anything else in life when things
are going great, it's it's easy to be like, oh yeah,
my life is great.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
But I think momentum needs confidence, But confidence doesn't need momentum.
So is momentum real kind of, I think, But it
creates a confidence that allows players to play loose, that
allows players to play a bit freer which allows They
say spreaders need to run an eighty percent to get

(43:36):
the most out of themselves, because if you run it
a hundred, you're super tight. And I think why is
because you're loose. You feel like you're running eighty, but
you're really just running a loose hundred instead of a right,
I got tight hundred, which is actually like seventy, And
I think that factors in here. When you have momentum,
you're running a loose eighty instead of a tight hundred,
which isn't a hundred.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Yeah, So what do you think about the cliche.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
A moment if you just change out the word momentum
for momentum creates confidence and that's real. Sure, But I
don't think momentum for the sake of everything's going a
certain way, so it's naturally going to continue going because
the crowd is yelling. I don't believe in that. Now,
the hot hand is real. It's confidence. To me, the
hot hand is confidence. You can also just have had

(44:20):
a good breakfast. That also counts, like if you're like
you had the right amount of food, you know your
hormones are right. Yeah, yeah, Because I do believe the
cold hand and the cold hand isn't always because of
lack of confidence. Sometimes you're physically just off, yeah, because
you could be sick something again, hormonally even in the
dude could be happening. Preseason doesn't matter, as one of them.
Preseason doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
I agree with that preseason does not matter.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I don't agree. I think there are a lot of
fringe players that have ended up being pretty good players
because they had a shot and preseason to prove themselves.
So I do think preseason matters. I don't think preeceas
matters for everybody. I don't think league vets that have
a long deal a quarterback who you know is going
to be your guy for the next three or four years,
I don't think it matters for them. But I do

(45:03):
think preseason matters. I don't think there need to be
as many games, but there have been a lot of
guys who have performed really well that allowed them to
play on a practice squad, that have allowed them to
get into the league, that have allowed them to have
a career. So I do think preseason are we gonna
disagree with every one of these. I know I was
going to.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Say, don't you feel like don't you feel like The
quality of playing week one, though, has diminished because there's
no preseason, so it's like, yeah, you know what I mean,
I do everyone's rusty, right, So.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I do think that, But I don't think I would
change anything because I want guys getting hurt in preseason,
even if there were twenty games. I don't want my
I don't want my homes playing.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Yeah, you just deal with it.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Yeah, you just deal with it. And it's like playing
yourself into shape. I'd rather play myself my guys into
shape during the season because football is so physical, right yeah.
Or basketball they need to be in shape before they
start because they are not slamming into each other.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
Right, it's the conditioning.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yes, up and down the court. Yep, let's do another one.
You can't teach accuracy.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
No, that's false. You can teach accuracy, Like there's certain
things you can't teach, and I think that's heart, you know,
or how you play the game. But accuracy, yeah, man,
get some get a coach, get some lessons.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
I think you teach. I think you teach the things
that allow you to be more accurate. Meaning if they're
accuracy issues with a quarterback, I don't It's like running fast.
I don't think you can actually teach someone to be
faster than they already can be. I think you can
teach someone to get the most out of themselves. Because
take a sprinter, you're really not gonna if you're running

(46:32):
the hundred, You're not gonna improve by two seconds. You'll
improve by zero point three or something. And that's only
learning how to do what you already do better. So
I think accuracy is actually somebody showing you how to
do what you already do better, removing variables you're worrying
about certain things. So I think you can teach people

(46:52):
to be their peak accuracy. I don't know that you
can improve much like you can improve a sprinter. I
don't know that you can actually improve someone's natural ability
to be accurate. I just think you can make them better,
give them a better opportunity to be accurate.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
Yeah you agree with that. Yeah, So you gotta have
to be born with the accuracy and then somebody will
fine tune it and make it better, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
So like Josh Allen, right, he came out of Wyoming,
he had like a fifty five completion percent and no
touch right, But Dabele found just found it within him.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Found the way to have to communicate with him, because
again a lot of it is teaching and learning and
everybody has different styles h patterns which they learn. So
it's you're not Josh Allen is never going to be
Drew Brees. But Drew Brees was never going to be
able to run like Josh Allen. You could have taken
Drew Brees and trained him every way possible. He's never

(47:44):
going to be able to run like Josh Allen physically
doesn't have it in him. Josh Allen had a little
more Drew Brees in him that he could get out
and they were able to communicate if we do this,
and if you do this, you can get to your
peak accuracy. I don't think you can take someone past
what their natural ability, what they're natural ceiling is.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
So you're saying Dak's not going to get better.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
You know I never thought about that.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
That's what I'm here because that's all I heard that.
And the reason I answered that is because like, yeah,
Dak can get better.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I give another example is the all time leading quarterback
percentage thrower in college is and there's so many screens
he had a terrible offensive line. Yeah, he had no
running game because he was extremely accurate. But I don't
always think that percentages and actual accuracy stats are reflective

(48:35):
of how accurate somebody really is, because that's virtually impossible
to throw over seventy percent for a collegiate career. So yeah,
I don't even care to find I just think I
am what I am. And you're going to try to
squeeze as much juice out of this orange as you
possibly can, and then you're not going to create any
juice that already isn't in there. But can you get
the most juice out of the orange?

Speaker 4 (48:54):
It makes sense. Yeah, I think too much about this
crap you do. But I like that it's a different perspective.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
You draft best player available, not for need.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
No, no, no, no. You can be strategic with who
you draft, example, like us, like like the Cowboys recently,
Like your first pick was an offensive lineman. I don't
think an offensive line was our biggest need, but you
look at like the order of who's gonna be maybe
you'll have running backs later on or what.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
You said biggest need? You just argued against yourself.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (49:28):
No, no, you said offensive line with your biggest need,
so that means then.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
You have best We had four big needs, but offensive.
I think you look at like the question your your calm.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
You're don't draft best player available, but you draft best
player available, not for need.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Right, So you like, I don't think you know Tyler
Booker was the best player avail.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
You drafted for need.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Shoot, don't.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Turned around. Yeah. The example I would give is cam Wred.
He was not the best player available. But some positions
you have to just not go best player available based
on the position that needs the most and quarterback you
have to have a good quarterback. I think cam Orod
would have probably been tenth or eleventh overall best player.
It wasn't even except one of the blue chip prospects.
A couple of those guys were cam Ward wasn't. But
a quarterback is so needed. They went with we need

(50:15):
this position. I don't think all positions you can do
that with, but there are certain positions where you do
draft because you have to have that position, not because
they're the best player. Patriots did the same thing.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
Will Campbell a great player, and we needed a left
tackle really really bad, but we also could have gotten
a I know, Jalen Walker or something like that. In
defense side, that was probably a better player quote unquote,
but we needed that left tackle more.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Yeah, so I say you draft for need specific to
the situation. Correct, You guys have to protect your quarterback.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Yeah, if we had a left tackle and we already
had your quarterback and all that, then yeah, you can
go a different route. Also, if the queen had balls,
should be king. Do you ever think about that?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Dang now that you say like that.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
No, that's the other one. You say your if your
ant had balls, if you my uncle, would you say that.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
That's the same one. Yeah, I say that one.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Yeah you do, or maybe you're you're ark.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
That stuff all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Speaking
of the Patriots, Kevin had a dream about Tom Brady.
Has he told you, guys, this.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Is this is one dream he can talk about.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
Let me preface it first by saying, my wife was
in it.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
By the way, all three of you, all three of us,
all right, what do they call that? The Eiffel Tower?
Great jeans? Great jeans. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
I had a dream about Tom Brady, totally random, out
of the blue one night, and I was at like
a resort, I don't even know where. It was some
island resort and me and my wife were there, and
then Tom Brady walks in with him and like his
whole family, well not his wife obviously ex wife, but
his kids and his dad and there, and he was like, hey,
what's up. And I was like, dude, I'm a huge fan.

(51:46):
And then they invited us to like his suite and
his villa, so we went and.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Out with them for like dream about Tom Brady. I
don't know, you're not pregnant, by the way, I know
your wife. You're like, well, I would understand she's pregnant. O,
body's going to do a lot of stuff.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Having weird dream I don't know. I dream a lot,
by the way. I dream pretty much every night, And I.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Mean that's awesome. You sleep really good then every night.
Some are not good though, but uh.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
And then the best part was at the end, she leaves,
my wife leaves. She's like, oh, I'm gonna go do something.
I can't remember what it was a dream and then
she comes back, kids do not She comes back with
Steve Carrell or you a huge office fan. So I
think that's where that comes in the mix. And no,
I went to bed sober. I didn't even drink that

(52:29):
night or anything, and uh.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Uh yeah, and then I woke up and that was it.
I love that Brady came to you in your dream too.
That's what I'm talking about it.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Do you have any Brady memorabilia? Uh? Do you have
anything signed by Brady?

Speaker 6 (52:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Do you have like a Brady jersey not signed by Brady?
Yeah you do? Yeah? Do you wear it?

Speaker 6 (52:48):
No?

Speaker 5 (52:48):
I'm not a huge jersey guy unless I'm out a game.
Maybe that's about it.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
There's a Roger Marras jersey expected to fetch up two
million bucks at Southby's. Maris wore the jersey when he
had his fifty nine home run in the nineteen sixty
one season. Why that season matters because he ends up
hitting sixty one. That was the record before Bonds ended
up breaking it. So it was auctioned off three years
ago for two hundred and forty four thousand dollars. But
I think it's gonna get two millions. Yes, he hit

(53:16):
five of his home runs that season in the jersey. Yeah,
current bits eight hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
There's so much trust in that, Like, how do we
know that's the jersey. I know that it gets authenticated,
but still it's just so much trust in that game.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
It also kind of doesn't matter if it really was
once it said it really was.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Right, But that's still crazy to pay that much money
for something where like it didn't really matter. That's it.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
You're not really paying for the jersey. You're paying for
the person who said it's the jersey. WHOA, that's deep
because you're like, what if it's not, Well, I have
proof here by whomever that it is, So it absolutely is.
Even if it's not, it is because it has been authenticated,
so that authentication values it. They've done whatever picture, So

(54:01):
who knows if it really is? But it is? No,
But but it is because the law has determined it is.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
That's worth that money, But who knows if it's really it?
Probably is, Yeah, and if you have two million, who
cares if it's really it?

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (54:14):
What do you mean you're buying it for two million dollars?
Like that means money is life is pretty good?

Speaker 6 (54:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
So yeah, unless it is a straight collective investment by
a bunch of people that put in like twenty grand,
that's true. Like that happens a lot with any investment,
like they go in, Okay, we're all going to get
in and then we'll sell it later by whatever it
is gonna be a house, it could be memorabilia, and
then yeah, we hold and then we sell it in
three years. So that doesn't just mean it's somebody rich.
Let's get the jersey, guys, let's do it. Investment on

(54:40):
on it. We got a dime. Okay, Eddie, what do
you have?

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Well, boys, I have a big announcement. Oh this is big, big,
big news. And I never thought I was going to
be here, but it's happening. I'm coming out of retirement.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I thought you were gonna say coming out of the
closet to be funny, I don't know what. And I
was gonna be happy for you, thank you man. But
the way you set it up, and I was like,
thinking that's and said I'm coming out, I was like,
he's really gonna do this. Okay, coming out of retirement
for what basketball coaching?

Speaker 4 (55:17):
I'm back back, not by choice. Don't get excited, not
by choice. I'm at an assistant ahead. I am hiring
my son as my assistant day, my oldest son.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
I got fired.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
Yeah, you did well, you have you have kids coming, so.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
True, So wait, what age are you coaching?

Speaker 4 (55:35):
Six years old? So, I mean, I think it's pretty
it's it's low key, like it's just kind of chill basketball.
It's six years old. What are they gonna do? Like,
they're not gonna we're not going to strive to win
the championship.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
If my coach, if my kid ever said we're not
going to strive to win the championship, I would not
wanted to play for that coach.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Well, I don't think they have a choice because I
got the roster and I don't even know any of
these kids. So like basically the team would have happened
if I wouldn't have stepped up to coach.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Well, that's cool, I'm glad you did that. I'm just
saying I probably wouldn't say, hey, we're not here to
win a championship.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
I just don't know how skilled these kids are yet.
I haven't met my kids yet. I don't know, like
what your own kids, no, no, no, have my six year
olds on the team, but I don't know the other
six players, Like, I don't.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
What if your six year old's is not good enough
to start?

Speaker 6 (56:20):
Nah?

Speaker 4 (56:20):
He is he's awesome.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
But you said you haven't met them. Yes, he don't
know that for sure.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Yeah, but compared to other six years old is six
year olds, he's awesome. He's really really good.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Do you think you got the group of kids that
didn't get picked on another team?

Speaker 6 (56:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (56:32):
I don't know, because usually the way this stuff works
is like you know, the neighborhood kids that the dads
get all the kids together and they're like, all right,
let's let's form a team. We'll sign up with the league,
and they all know each other. I think these are
the leftover kids, and it doesn't mean that they're bad kids.
It just means that they don't have any like maybe
they just moved to town. They don't know anyone else,

(56:52):
so they just signed up. But we are the music
city monsters with a Z wow and yeah, man, I mean,
who knows. Maybe they are really good and maybe we
win the chip. Don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Though, Los alsos deay my lass not ts what the bears?
What los Oso's day? Ma las not to see us the.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
Bad news bears?

Speaker 1 (57:27):

Speaker 1 (57:32):
So is that Bears? Yeah? Dey ma las no ts

Speaker 4 (57:39):
There we go. We got it.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
You're the bad News Bears basketball. You can win that thing.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
I mean, we really could. Man, we'll see, We'll see
how it goes. It's pretty awesome.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
Though.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
My seventeen year old he's my assistant, which is great.
I send him to all the meetings. I'm like, they
go to the meetings, tell me what they say.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Oh so you don't have to go No, okay, so
you're the general man.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
No, I'm the head coach. I'm the the dude who
just kind of like, hey, will you do that for me? Hey,
drop a couple of plays for me. They're beating us,
They're they're doing zone defense. Will you change something up
on the offense? All that kind of stuff. I don't
have to deal with it. Just tell my assistant what
to do.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
You are a general manager. He probably loves it though, huh.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
He does. He does because he loves about My seven
year old loves basketball. It's all. That's his favorite sport.
He loves watching it. He's all into the NBA playoffs.
He really watches NBA all year round, which I'm like,
you're crazy.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
You should make them watch YouTube videos on actual coaching,
on actual like how to run very very very basic
plays for young kids because they do those. And I'm
talking about you don't have to do like high school,
but they do very very basic. It's how it's the
kind of videos I watch. If I'm trying to learn
why offense is doing something, I'll watch like eight year
old versions of them. But you can have him do that,
that's good, like watch tape, well tape. Yeah, mostly they

(58:48):
do like little cartoons.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
That's what you do for pickleball.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Yeah, no, I do for basketball too, like I'm trying
to understand an offense or if I'm talking about the
playoffs or something. Yeah, yeah, all right, dude, Yeah, maybe
wis announcement. I kind of wish it was you were
coming out of the closet.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
If I'm being honest with you, a little morning, well
that could be coming.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, that'd be great. Big ratings. All right, that's it.
