Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is a podcast called twenty five whistles, talking fun ball,
and they all wire a whist. So yeah, it's too bad,
but what did you expect? It's a podcast called twenty
five whistles presented by draft kings sports book, an official
sports betting partner of the NFL. Download the draft kings

(00:25):
APP and use the Code Bobby Sports to get in
on the action. Kick off, Kevin Whistle us in. All right,
let the show begin. I'm gonna say this. I'm probably
gonna win my best this week. It's gonna say it
right now. I'm thinking about it too much. I'm one
fifteen in a row and that's absurd even the greatest
of the great. This is like throwing two perfect games

(00:47):
in a row. To throw one is incredibly lucky because
you're gonna have a lot of luck and you've got
to be playing well, feeling well. Then you're gonna have
a ton of luck. But imagine doing it two games
in a row, and the double header even it felt
like a double header, where I'm pitching both games now,
throwing two perfect games, pressure and I'm like my arm
should be falling off. Yet I feel like I'm angels
in the outfield. They're throwing it like somebody, somebody's doing this.

(01:09):
It Ain't me, somebody's. I've been given the BIFF Alman Act.
I say nothing else. Here's the thing. I've been accused
of being in the Illuminati and I'm gonna stop talking now.
So we're here typing bobby sports to get in on
the action and I have. I'm being told that I

(01:31):
can now say if you gamble alongside if you bet,
whatever it is, if you bet alongside us, I can
say more smiles and frowns. So I can't say bet
with me and you'll get rich, because I said that
as a joke like four or five games in, because
I was like wow, I've hit five games in a

(01:51):
row and I was like, gamble with me get rich,
as a joke, knowing that eventually was going to come
to an end, probably right then and then. I'm being
told by yours and Mike D that I cannot say that.
But if we did check, who did you ask? Just
an email. Yeah, email. Do you know who? You email?
Draft Kings Oa, is it just Mr draftkings at draftings

(02:12):
and so did you say verbatim? Can Bobby say this? Yeah,
I said exactly how you said it and they said
that is fine, okay, run alongside me, bet with me.
More smiles and frowns. Yea, I feel about that. The
more smiles and frowns. MERCH coming soon, you know. You know.
That's right around the corner, don't you? We're here, we're good.
Let's do the warm up question. All Right, what sport

(02:32):
would you be most competitive in? In the Olympics? They
say you got to play an Olympic sport or we
will kill you, and so you have to sign up
and it's the sport that you think, with your ability now,
you can actually do the best. Warm up question, Mike
d what do you got? Track and field? Give me
the marathon. Yeah, you would do really well, runner. I

(02:53):
could at least finish it. They do it in like
two hours. I couldn't do that, but I could compete.
Mike's the guy on Instagram poop post his runs, but
he posts running so much I don't get annoyed at him.
I start to root for him. Weirdly, like you could
do a Mike, Fourteen miles. You can do it. I
can't wait to see your next one, because usually have
someone posted run you're like, okay, shut up something, but
Mike does it so consistently and then he's like talking

(03:16):
about shoes, what's the brand that you wear? Do you
show brooks running shoes? And he's like Brooks, and so
I'm like, man, I don't want a marathon. I'M gonna
never mind, I'm not running for a second. So, yeah,
that's a good one for you, Eddie. Oh mine speed walking, man,
I can walk to the the good one like crazy, like
I could literally, I did walk. I walked from West
Virginia to Tennessee for charity. No problem, like I could

(03:39):
walk from nobody else's when you and I will, for example,
we want hiking in northern California, and you said to
me my foot still hurts from speed walking or from
walking from West Virginia to Tennessee. So there's a problem.
You hurt yourself. I think that's like planter fasciitists or something,
something that, if I really put some time into it,
can heal in shoes and the brooks. I need some

(04:01):
of those brookses. Kick off, Kevin. Mine would be rugby, probably.
You're a big dude. Some shoulders and going back to
the football days, like I just feel like I would
be able to acclimate easiest to rugby. How big old
boy are you? How big? Height and weight? Yea, what
do you think? I'm talking about? You six to twelve? Yeah,

(04:28):
do you still work out? Yeah, I mean you look
like it all the time. At it's gonna be days
a week, really? Yeah, I was gonna be mad if
he said No. It's like no, not at all. My God.
I invited him to pizza o the day and he
was like no, man, I don't eat that stuff. Are
you that dedicated? Uh, not very strict during the week,
I'm pretty good. Monday through Thursday and then Friday through
Sunday kind of goes down the drain. But it's a
you know, the balance your week is a little off.

(04:51):
That's other Monday through Friday or Sunday through Thursday. You've
you've given yourself an extra no, Monday through Thursday. Yeah,
like I said, balance. Yeah, because I think Kevin is
the biggest dude out of everyone here. Biggest for sure,
but WHO's more fit? Kevin or myself? I'd say Kevin. Wow,

(05:15):
I don't know, you're pretty fit. He's stronger because he's
a bigger dude, taller, and because I'm I just waded
myself to the day. I got back down. Big Deal
for me. I got there. Yeah, so I'm six one
one sixty nine right now. You don't drink alcohol, which
is huge. I haven't had sugar in three weeks. See,

(05:36):
if I didn't drink alcohol, would be a lot better.
You know, you cannot drink alcohol righted. I like alcohol, Boston, Kevin.
I'm just saying I like to have a good time. Kevin,
you like good I'm glad that you work hard for it.
Would have been extremely jealous. Yeah, Adam, what Olympic sport
would you be most competitive in? The only thing I

(05:58):
can think of his basketball, which is ridiculous. How would
you kill it? But I feel like I could contribute
on like national team, you know, I could be a
role player for one of those kind of teams. You know. Yeah,
bad I would go with badminton, and they're lightning fast.
But will you played Badman and p that's pretty good. Yeah,
me too. Don't take my game. I'm just saying, like

(06:20):
I was pretty good at bad mitten two man, I
was knocking around that shuttle cock. You know I'm saying.
You know what it's called. Yes, you picked that just
so you can say shuttle I actually didn't remember that
the shuttle Cock was in there until we started talking
about like. So, yeah, I would go badminton. Nothing flies,
but it doesn't fly like table tennis flies. Because I
thought maybe I can play paint pong, but then you

(06:40):
watch those guys. They're just like forrest gump crazy. But
I think bad minton would be my best chance to
actually make a difference. So there's your warm up and
now let's star at the sports part of the show
with the tittle tattle, stupid, the TAT tattle. Remember, you

(07:02):
have a whistle. Blow it if you disagree. Kick off, Kevin.
Question Number One. Al Right, at one on one. The
Jaguars sit atop the A F C south. Do you
think they're legit contenders to win that division? I guess
mostly yes, because everybody else's own one. To excuse me.
And there's the cults. Are probably still the favorite, even
though they suck. But are they? Can they? Yeah, sure,

(07:24):
Trevor Lawrence been playing pretty good, you know, especially considered
he's a Jaguar. Everything's relatively can they? Yes, but it's
not Tennessee, what are they gonna do? It's probably it's
probably not the Texans, but I don't want to write
them off completely yet because I feel like they have
a quarterback to that actually can get a lot better
this year. Lovey Smith is at least consistent and has

(07:46):
one before, and I think it's a conference that's there
for the taking for whomever. So when you ask that,
Ken Jacksonville, yeah, because the conference itself right now doesn't
seem like there's a lot of strength anywhere. It would
be cool. Jacksonal was good. I always like to see
teams that suck they're good again. Can they? Yes, if
I were picking right now, I still picked the colts

(08:08):
based on their head coach, their quarterback, their offensive line,
although they suck right now, but I'd probably picked the
colts to win it. Tennessee second, Jacksonville third and the
Texans fourth. But that whole thing you can get flipped quickly.
That's why I was gonna go on my whistle. Well,
you should say that before you put your mouth on it. Yeah,

(08:28):
and he's like talking. Yeah, I just think it's too early.
I mean, does everyone have a chance? Everyone in that
division have you blow a whistle to go. It's too
he it's the same. It's week three, so we can't
have an opinions. I believe that the tides. And the
one thing I disagree was you saying, like the titans,
what are they gonna do? They can do a lot.
They can figure stuff out, they can turn their whole

(08:50):
season around. I think the titans could still win this
division at O and two. Anybody's gonna have a chance
because the division winner is gonna be about five hundreds.
So it's still open. I said the same thing that
you but literally you just want to blow the freaking whistle.
That's already had it in my mouth. I was like,
just go with it. I think that. Thing think about
the titans that I do like is they have a

(09:13):
history of not performing and then having a coach that
can somehow adjust and performance some of these non performances
of m because players have been out. Honestly, you know,
Henry Goes Down, you've got to adjust. You've got a
J Brown when he goes down, Julio goes down, and
so they take a little step back before they could,
you know, fix it and go a step forward. But
they got all the players are going to have. They're

(09:34):
all health like right now. They're as strong as they're
going to be. They obviously can get better, and I
mean tailor to one. He gets hurt every season, so
that's just part of the season. Yeah, it's just like
what week, Taylor, there's your contracts, that you're getting hurt. Um,
it's wide open, because either they all suck or they're
all amazing. You just don't even know. But I'm taking

(09:56):
if I'm picking right now, let's just do this. I'll
go on record. I think the colts win the division.
I'd like to Titans Win because I'm a homer, but
I think the colts win the division, even though they're
owing to I would go with titans because I believe
in Rabel Kevin. Yeah, for that reason too, I'm right
there with you. I believe in titans. Adam, same all
the way. But you believe in rebel more than Frank Ryan,
who's yeah, I do. I think that. I think that's

(10:19):
the same. Honestly, I think the Achilles heel for the
for colts, is Matt Ryan, like he's gonna be what
actually wins games from them. Doubtful. I thought they brought
him in to put them. He's going to win games
for them. He's going to be the steady force. He's going.
He's going to let the playmakers, Pittman, Taylor, he's going
to make sure that they get the ball. He's not

(10:40):
gonna throw for four yards and five touchdowns, but he's
there to be pretty good and make sure the playmakers
can make plays and I think he knows his role
all right. Save the table. How about this, though? Yes,
I tape. I agree. When it's close, you always go
with the best quarterback. That's generally my role if it's close.
And let's look at the quarterbacks in that division. Tannehill, MH.
I would love for him to be better, but just

(11:02):
hasn't been. Uh. And also he's gotta be looking over
his shoulder. They didn't draft goals for nothing, not this
season but even for next year, in the year. So
let's UH. David's mills, possibly okay, but it's never actually
shown anything other than his rookie years. Some flashes last year.
Trevor Lawrence. More more optimism there than Davis Mills. Sure,

(11:23):
but who's the best quarterback in the division? It's Matt
Ryan by far because he has more years under his
belt and when and he's won and he's he's been
in the Super Bowl. Yeah, but they put up zero
points last weekend. Yeah, you know, they suck right now.
That's awful. Yeah, they stuck. Right now. I complained. But
or the Jaguars? Good, but yet to be now jumping.

(11:46):
All right, next one. Al Right, which team do you
think we'll have the biggest comeback hangover this week in
the dolphins versus the bills, jets versus the Bengals, or
cardinals against the rams? I think the jets are just
gonna get run, but I don't think it's going to
be because of a hangover. I just don't think there
is good. So the jets also beat the browns. Right,
let's not forget that. The brown still kind of suck.

(12:08):
You don't have a quarterback. Um. So I'm the jets
are gonna get run, but I don't think it's gonna
because of the hangover. I think it's gonna be because
they don't have the talent and Cincinnati's Cincinnati does, and
although they're owing too, I do think Cincinnati is just waiting.
I don't know what they're waiting for, but when they hit,
they're probably gonna hit. I still believe in Joe Burrow. Uh.

(12:30):
I think when it comes to the dolphins, it's that's
gonna be a fun game to watch. For a minute,
I have a bad feeling they're just gonna get out
talented as well. So I don't even know if it's
gonna be a hangover as because again, I hangover, I
would define as they crushed. They were feeling it. They
probably were a little too happy for a little too long,
and I probably did still too much press the feeling.
They're like we are real good. They a lot of

(12:53):
mental and emotional things coming with with a sports hangover.
So I think Miami gets run and I hate that.
I would love to see them win. It'd be awesome
to see Miami beat Buffalo. That would be cool. Yeah,
and the other game was cardinals and rams. Oh, that's
a good one. Yeah, yeah, I think the cardinals probably.
I think it's the cardinals, just based on my other

(13:14):
two answers. The Rams also have some wins to to
like collect to prove they're still legit as well. So
I think the cardinals and Kyler, and they've been celebrating that,
doing lots of interviews, lots of pressed Kylie even getting
hit in the face by that dude. You guys see
the club or the guy goes over to Kyler after
the Games, like yeah, over on the edge and a

(13:35):
dude goes boom, it hit him in the face from
around somebody else, and so they took the video and
they zoomed in on it, showed him and but it's
also kind of fuzzy and kind of blurry, and so
they investigate it and they're like, we can't tell if
you down o purpose or not because there were a
lot of people moving around. Yeah, there's an on field
um camera of it too, and there I didn't see
the on field camera. So there's a camera like literally

(13:56):
following Kyler, behind him and he's going up again. Yeah,
that's when I saw the wall Um, you know, slapping
the fans hands or whatever. I couldn't tell. It's like
you could say, you could argue for either one. The
guy just kind of throwing his arms out. He's just
a goofy white dude who's just like slinging his arms around,
and Kyler gets hit in the face. And so when
I saw it, they were like he gets in the face.
The first time I saw it I thought, but it

(14:17):
looks just accidental. But then they were like Oh, yeah,
hit and I'm like Oh did I miss something and
it was a fan? Yeah, and the guy wasn't wearing
a shirt from the raiders or anything, although it was
in Vegas, but he wasn't wear from what I could tell.
He wasn't like a loud painted raiders fan. No, it
didn't look I mean, he was just like you said,
just the guys. I don't know, I didn't even know

(14:38):
what he was doing, just slapping his hands around. Yeah,
it's like what I do too, his arms flailing about.
Just get excited about it. So I'M gonna go. Cardinals
are probably gonna have the biggest hangover all right. Next up,
the raiders and titans are both owing too, and they
face off this Sunday. Which team do you think is
more desperate for that win? I think the raiders are
the better team. I think the titans are probably a

(14:59):
bit more desperate it. I think if the raiders were
to lose this game, I don't think it would be
over for them in there and they're somebody spending the
whistle their teeth Um. So I think it's the titans.
If they lose this one man, the wheels could just
come off for a few weeks. Where the Raiders Renfro

(15:20):
Ben a concussion protocol all week. He had the two fumbles.
He was hurt. Um if he I hope he plays.
As of right now I haven't seen an update if
he's going to play or not. They haven't really established
a running game that we know they already have and
I think they could actually look at it as we're
still trying to get there with a new number one

(15:42):
wide wide receiver, with some new guys on defense. I
think the times are desperate because they got all. They
got all their guys. Now there they don't have a
wide receiver in woods. I mean tray lion is getting
the most looks and he's a rookie. Lookie. Yeah, and
you want that to happen about week six or so.
So the titans are the most desperate. The raiders are
right now, I think, the better team. I do think
the raiders will win the game and we'll just pray

(16:05):
that the rest of the a F that that division
keeps losing and some times you can stay in it.
So that that's what I think. Adam, my thoughts. The
Raiders Division is so tough they could like theoretically be
out of the running already just having two losses. I
would think the division is so tough, though, that everybody's
gonna be losing. I think it's the opposite of that,
because the chiefs are gonna lose because they got to
play the chargers and they gotta play the raiders and

(16:27):
they gotta so there's gonna be so many losses. They're
my teams, except for maybe the chiefs. Herbert's gonna be
out through four weeks or hurt three or four weeks
by out like he's not gonna be although even with
those that rib injury game, that fourth down throw money.
He was probably was like five yards straight to the ground.

(16:47):
The fourth down was money. I think I do understand
your point, but I think there's gonna be a lot
of losses in that division because they're all so good.
But even still like having two losses already. Those other
teams three, four loss is maybe. I mean they're also there.
They play each other, but they're still gonna have all
those other games. Are gonna dominate. It feels like they're
just like already behind the eight ball. If they don't

(17:08):
get on track this week, they could be really important.
They definitely would be behind, but because the division is
so competitive, I wouldn't freak out as much if I
were them, because they're good. The writers are actually good,
or at least my eyeballs think they're good, and they've lost.
They shouldn't have lost either. I mean both of the
Games they've lost. That's the cardinals game. What do they

(17:30):
definitely should have won that one. What do they think?
They yes, and then against the chargers, they actually played
really well and and they had a couple of chances
to win that game. Charges are really good, so they
didn't blow it, they just the writers could have won
that game. Next question. Alright, going to college here. which
underdog this week, with between the ranked matchups, do you
think has the best chance to win? Wake Forest First, Clemson,

(17:52):
Florida at Tennessee or your razorbacks at a and M so, Mike,
we hit me with the the alarm police. I probably
need to hear this now. So this alert here is
because I'm going to speak from bias. This is the
biased lad. Now are you saying underdogs? Because Arkansas is
the underdog, even though the rated hime, okay, God, spread here.

(18:14):
They're the underdog. So read me again the three so
I can tell you it's Arkansas. Go ahead wake forest
against Clemson. They won't. They won't win, although I've cursed
Debo and Clemson. Yeah, I've cursed them. You have a food,
all of them. Yes, I've cursed him, because Deabo wouldn't
come on the show. It was like, yeah, we're good.
I didn't say we'll do it in two weeks. Hey,
we can't find the time this week, like we were

(18:35):
past and I was like that's cool. He has absolutely
you don't have to come on the show. We're totally
cool with it. But I also can curse your team.
We've cursed them, yes, but they should run wake, but
I would like to see. Wait, I think they'll compete,
I guess. I mean wake almost got be at liberty. Right,
liberty puddle than one. I mean it comes down to

(18:56):
Djo right, good, sure, sure that at home? The other
game is Tennessee, Florida. Tennessee, Florida Canta be Tennessee. Tennessee
is too good. Florida is not near as good as
we once thought. For like four days. Kentucky is not
as good as we once thought, because Kentucky beat Florida.
That's their literal only win. Uh, it's Arkansas, Texas and

(19:19):
I expect Arkansas to win. I took I think almost
anybody else I would have said that, but it just
happens to be Arkansas. I think Arkansas can win by ten.
We have the worst past defense and Division One, division two,
division three, we're like you know, but you have to

(19:39):
look at those games, the Cincinnati game, they just came
out chunking because we jumped. Carolina came out chunking. We
had three of our starting secondary out. Um, I do
think Arkansas can win. If they lose, that sucks, but okay,
but I think they can also win by ten, twelve points.
So I'm gonna go with that one. Next one, all right.
Do you think Georgia has taken over Obama as the
new national our house? No, just because it's not not

(20:02):
not as much history. I think they're better, but unless
you're watching football right now in the last couple of years,
you don't really understand how good George has been. Alabama
has just been good for so freaking long and they
used to be really, really, really good thirty years ago.
And those are the two kinds of people that aren't us,
that are also watching. You know, they're not hearing and

(20:23):
seeing Georgia pounds schools in the SEC mid so I
mean you know mid skilled SEC schools. It's Alabama, just
based on most people aren't as into it as we are.
This is which is why we do a show. So
most people would think the Alabama. Most people think Michigan,
Notre Dame, because they've just been told that for so long.

(20:44):
Even if not, I'M gonna I'm gonna blow a half
whistle ahead because I was gonna go the opposite. But
I will say you make a pretty compelling argument as
far as the outside world of the football knowledgeable people.
So I think Georgia is gonna be there in five
years from now, but I don't think they're there yet. Yeah,
they just haven't done it long enough. I mean when
Mark Rick was the coach they didn't want national championship,

(21:06):
and that's the time, the last time they were really
good and they were consistently really good. They never won
a national championship. But with Bama you have the legacy
of Bear Bryant, you know, you have obviously Nick Saban,
you have gene stallings. So you have when you look back,
you have the history and you've got the now. And
even when you look at coaches. Nick Saban is the

(21:27):
poster child for someone who's done something for many years
at a very elite level. They compare any coach who
wins two or three championships on the road in Nick Saban.
So because of that brand, I think it's still Alabama.
But you know, if you were gonna go ranking powerhouses
by general public, I think you go Alabama. Notre Dame,

(21:49):
not yet, but close Ohio state, just because they've won it,
they've been there, they've had some, they've had urban Meyer,
they've had you could go through even their famous coaches.
I don't even know. I never wouldn't know what he
hates walked in the room, but I do know stories
of a good history is a big part of it. Oklahoma.
Here's the thing about Oklahoma. Yes, but I'M gonna put

(22:10):
on like seven or eight because they get close a
whole lot, but they can't win it over and over again,
at least not recently. Where Alabama has been able to
win a couple, Oklahoma would get there constantly. Um, if
you were an eighties kid that you're twenty in the eighties,
you for sure with the Oklahoma Nebraska as those. But

(22:32):
Nebraska has completely fallen off, but Oklahoma would still be
a top ten overall power to me right now. Is
Clemson there. Clemsons there would right below Georgia, because new
but really dominant Clemson didn't do much last year. They
only lost two games and they actually were really good,
but they lost early, so they were out of the conversation.
So I would go one Obama to Ohio state, and

(22:55):
I'm talking about not just us but even mild sports
fans that just catch up. Then I'M gonna go. I'M
gonna go like a Michigan and although they haven't been
great and they've lost a lot to Ohio state recently,
except for last year, Michigan, Notre Dame. And then I
put Georgian clemson right there together, and then teams like

(23:15):
Oklahoma right there to Texas too, even though they've sucked
for a while. They're so well known and that's a
big part of being a national powerhouse and when people
expect you to win every year, it's because they have
an expectation that you win. And the fact that Texas
still has an expectation is crazy. It's in a lot
of it. Two is it's their history, but it's also

(23:36):
they keep getting recruits and they just can't keep a girl.
You know, they're like something I do if I dude
friends who are just absolutely bonkers and they can't keep
a good girlfriend and they're like, man, these girls all suck. No,
you suck, Bro. What's the what's the common here? You,
you're the sucky one. You've had five great girlfriends, and
you know why? It's into every time. Because you suck. Man.

(23:58):
She this one was psycho. Oh, this one, man, her
mom was crazy. No, it's you, and so Texas is
going through Herman, Texas is going through Charlie, strong, Texas.
We could keep listen to them off. It's you, Bro,
it's your boosters, it's the culture, it's the Texas is.
It's you, Bro. They've ruined some. Yeah, you have one more.

(24:19):
That's okay. That's the tattle Tattoo. Stupidest name ever, the
TATTLE tattle. That's fun. Dude's a good one. That was
a good one. Good Talk. He slept about the girl.
That's a psycho. That's pretty good analogy I just came
up with right there. Sometimes, listen, nobody gets annoyed with

(24:44):
me like me. I don't even want, I don't like
to watch myself, but sometimes I'm like, Oh, I see
why you do this at a pretty high level. It's
pretty good. Make some merch off of that. UH, more
smiles of Frances. So I want to upbate everybody on
the Jerry Jones situation, where I was like are we
calling it Jerry Jones on this show? Right, come on,
of course it would be elite, and so I thought, well,

(25:07):
let me just go after it myself. And I don't.
But guess I don't know how to book. Guess I
don't know how to fix my car. Just hire people
fix me. If I had to learn how to fix
my car, I would now, but I didn't have to
learn either. Drove an old beater that would so close
to dying we wouldn't spend enough money to fix it
because it wasn't worth it. Or I got to a
point in my career where I would just buy a
car and have somebody fix it for me. Same here.

(25:28):
I never read a book a guest because no one
will come on my show anyway. I didn't have a
show to come on, so small and then all of
a sudden I'm jumping and now I'm like, just book
me a guest. Kevin Mike, here's what I want, and
now you guys have all the skills to do that.
But I thought I'M gonna do it, I'm gonna I'm
gonna lay out there and I send a note and say, Hey,
Dallas cowboys organization. In case you missed this. Seven is
bobby bones. I got a show on USA network, got

(25:49):
a show on that Geo, got a radio show on
like a d five cities. I've got a honorary doctor
at the University of Arkansas. I'm a booster. I Have
Two New York Times. But I was really laying it
out there so they would respect or I feel like
I actually had a platform that they could trust. So
I said, I'm not trying to got you, I'd like

(26:10):
talk to Mr Jones about a couple of things, to cowboys,
and you know where he comes from. And that's all
I talked about at two updates. Oh, come on, come on,
do I have these printed out? Mike? Okay, because they
emailed him to Mike this morning. You kind of had
a little half smile there. Well, because it's only half
smile worthy, but it is worthy smile worthy. More smiles

(26:31):
than frowns. Okay, I got this email back after we
talked about it on Wednesday. Bobby, I appreciate your reaching out.
I've added our STP of communications, Tad Carper, to this
reply and we will check out Mr Jones availability for
your request. Thank you, Scotty. That sounds very positive. And
so got another email. Email too. This is from Tad.

(26:56):
Great Name. Thanks again, bobby. Would be a pleasure to
work this out. What's your forms with this run on?
Tad Carper, Senior Vice President Communications. Interesting my response. Greetings.
It would run on the National Radio Show and the
sports podcast both. It will also be featured in the
radio show podcast feed and that feed does between twelve

(27:16):
and fourteen million streames of months. Also on social media,
with clips at bobby bones show and featured at Mr
Bobby bones combined, about two million followers on social have
a good day, guys. Big Period and no lies. By
the way, it's all true. No lies. Tad hit me
back a last night. Great Info and big numbers. Back

(27:38):
at you soon ish on this. Tad Carper, Senior Vice
President Communications. Hey, look, it may not happen, but this
would be so cool. Yeah, let me check your email,
so if there's a yeah, keep keep you know scrolling down, refresh, refresh. HM, Dad, no, nothing.
I'm Tad, but I do think we got a shot

(28:01):
at this with Jerry Jones. Fingers crossed. That'd be pretty cool.
And then what you do, this is the story of
doing any sort of podcast or interview show. When you
get we've got enough great guests. I mean rich Eisen's
coming up, which is super cool to talk to him.
But when you get Jerry Jones, then you pitch yourself
to other owners and be like, we just had Jerry
Jones on, you know, would you like to come on?
And they're like wait, Jerry Jones on? Well then I

(28:21):
definitely want to be on. Let's go, Baby Robert Kraft. Goodness.
So Jerry Jones will be awesome because it's Jerry Jones,
the most famous sports owner in all of the NFL.
Maybe sports him and Cuban. Cubans right there too? Oh
for sure. Yeah, Cuban recently because of the things like
Shark Tank, Jerry Jones, because he's Jerry freaking Jones. But yeah,

(28:44):
I'd be awesome. Um, you see where, you know, the
sons are. He's having to give up the sons and
the Mercury Um and so one of the buyers they
think would be Jeff Bezos. He's one of the people.
I think he's second up. I saw odds and who
they thought would actually be the person to buy the
NBA and W NBA teams, and Jeff Bezos was second up.

(29:04):
He's a sportsman. Well, we thought he was going to
buy the broncos. Listen, he could buy the whole nfl
if he wants, just switch players up every week and
do what he wants to do. That'd be pretty cool,
it wouldn't it be so cool to own a team? Yeah,
I mean, I say that and then I'd be like
the cons and be like, you know, I don't want
to spend eighteen on the new new jerseys, and I said,

(29:26):
all of a sudden, get real cheap. Oh yeah, I
didn't think about all that. I know that you got
a face stuff. It's like getting a nice car, my
first Nice Card. Well, I don't want to fix and
I don't want to get a repair. I just keep
driving because you're like, I want to spend the money
to keep this thing up, but it would cost a
lot too. But it'd be so cool to own a team.
It would just be so cool to be a minority owner.
How about that? Sure, there you go. Then you can
get it any time. Does it count to be like

(29:48):
one of those shareholders like the packers? No, that's because
that's a bunch of garbage. Okay, it's a bunch of
they just ripped you off, but it is cool because
you do feel even closer like part of the group. Yeah,
there you go. So that's the date on Jerry Jones.
Now it's time for Adam stats. Adam stats, Adam halfs,

(30:08):
all year's steps for you, Adam. Alright, what you got?
So you're talking a while ago about how you like
underdogs and how when underdogs come up, everybody loves that.
Everybody loves an underdog story. Well, third, that's your stat.
Third that's where the Kansas Jayhawks find themselves in scoring offense,
in the total FBS, which is Button Nan thinking about

(30:30):
Kansas being good, even the jury is still so far out,
and if they're actually good. But they've been playing not nobody.
They played West Virginia and Houston, Um, which he still
supposed to be good, Heston, was supposed to be get.
They were ranked Um and uh and they got wins
against both those schools in their their third and total
scoring offense in the FBS. I think that they are

(30:51):
pretty good. That's about as toughest schedule as anybody else
has played. Honestly, just two pretty good games. You may
look this up, because I never know Adams gonna tell
us about stats, but maybe two thousand seven. That might
have been the year that Kansas was playing for the
big twelve championship. Two Thousand Eight, so two thousand. It
was the two thousand seven season and they played in

(31:12):
two thousand or just straight whatever was I remember being
about twenty seven. I think you're seven. o eight was
their last winning season and then oh seven was the
year they competed for the title. It was, I believe,
Missouri in Kansas for the big twelve championship. Kansas used
to be good for a minute. It's the it was
the weirdest thing. Um, I hope they're good again. The same.

(31:34):
I hope they're good and the fact that they've won
two quality games that's pretty cool. Like all right, there's
Adam stats. Go ahead, Adam stats. That's Adam stats. He's
got those stats for that's that's the best one. Do
you have an NFL one coming up to Adam? Do
you have one for a college NFL? Uh No, I

(31:56):
just the answer is noner. Here was the stat one
step once. Well, that's I had another college stat, but
but I was also again Adam half all the years.
Thats three years. Thanks for that Awesome Jingle, Eddie. Twelve,
twelve percent. I find myself obsessed kind of with the

(32:19):
transfer portal and what it's done for college football. Twelve percent.
That's the percentage of total fbs players that hit the
portal last year. Twelve of everybody. So like every scholarship roster,
about ten and a half of those dudes are going
somewhere else, and you know, about thirty there we're going.
I'm getting a portal. Yeah, that's I'm gonna into portal.
I think gets play them getting to portal and then

(32:40):
they're like, no one's good else, no one else want
to drop down? I'm getting the portal. Uh, what else?
The the other crazy thing about that only half of
those only half of those players, are finding new places.
So like a lot of those guys are like not
even playing football anymore. It's really said they're not going
to college and they're they're kind of just completely out
of the game. Um, my thought really is that the

(33:03):
transfer port has actually been good for college football. There
was so much like gloom and doom and so much
boomerism about Um how how it was gonna ruin the
game and people were gonna Um, people are just gonna
go and do their own thing, free agents and all
that Um. But I think we're I think we're seeing
maybe something different. Do you think that that that the
transfer portal has been good for the actual product on

(33:23):
the field? I'm gonna say yeah. I mean I think
you see teams on an example like Missouri State last week,
Uh Cincinnati, who has been a good program. They lose
their quarterback. These schools can grab kids that maybe didn't
develop and they went to a small school. Maybe we're overlooked.
I think that's great. If a coach can lead by

(33:44):
the way, players to be able to leave first of
all say that. Uh So it gives kids a shot
to play at a bigger level, to be seen more,
and it gives people who kids, who aren't getting to
play a shot to drop down if they just want
to play, to go to a smaller school and play.
So it works great in both ways. Yeah, it's annoying
at times, but I mean coaches have to always recruit, now,
not just high school kids. They have ever thrown teams

(34:05):
to make sure they stay. I'm sure there's some some
shady stuff happening and there's some tampering and but that
was gonna happen one way or another, if not this way,
in other ways, like where there's money, there's always corruption. Somehow.
It doesn't have to be. I like it. I like it.
I'm trying to find a reason I don't. I like it.
I Like Inn I l. But to announce another one

(34:26):
myself a couple the one I'm working on right now
that I've we got the contract done, and I can
say this, there's a kid that we had on our
morning show who helped the help the lady on the
side of the road. He plays at Iowa and so
I was like, Hey, let's do an I l was
like I'm meant to it. Let's go and I email
to all the Iowa talked to the Iowa in I

(34:48):
l compliance guy will say that he talk to him
for a while. I went and talk to Zack. I
just can never get ahold of Zack. I tacked him
all the time and I said he's not an answering. Well,
I said, hey, man, email mom sin. He said, Hey,
just call me or text me. I don't want to
call anybody. I don't call you guys. So I texted
like hey, man, like four days later he was like sorry, man,

(35:09):
I just saw this. Yeah, that, since I got awesome planned.
I was like, Dude, did you die? He goes, man,
it's being a college athlete. You're just always busy, and
I'm like, let me show you my schedule. Yea, what
you're talking about? Yeah, he's looking at his phone. Yeah, yeah,
what do you like to free money? So we're trying
to get that done. But I do have another one
coming up soon that I'll announce, and I like D

(35:29):
N I. I think if somebody two desks down in
the classroom can get money from Instagram, from a store
down the road, a football player can't, just because they're
really good at football. Of course I can. They should
be able to do that. Um, okay, that's Adam stats.
Adam stats. That's Adam stats. He's got those stats before you.

(35:54):
All right, yeah, you want to talk about the parlay? Yeah, pen,
you don't need a pen, just digital body. Go back
to listen, to remember whistles brought to you by draft
kings sports book, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.
You just go download the draft kings APP, use the
Code Bobby Sports and get in on the action right now.
Here's my parlay of the week. I mean, you can

(36:14):
bet it if you want. Eventually it's just not gonna hit.
It can't. This is probably week it doesn't hit, I'll
be honest. But now everybody's gonna bet it and I'm
gonna feel I'm gonna feel like a loser when it
doesn't hit and you're gonna be disappointed in me. My
success is making me feel like a loser. That's not
how I should work. There are no SEC games in
this parlay this week. They're no. I was looking at

(36:36):
all the games. I just wasn't wildly attracted to many
of them, which I usually am, which used I'm looking down.
I'm like swing, that's what happens, and I'm like that's
my and I save it. Here are my two games.
First Up, Baylor and Iowa state. Baylor plus two and
a half, and I would take Baylor plus one. Even

(36:58):
if you get any more than that, awesome too. Baylor's
two and one. They lost to B Y u. That
was in a double overtime game. Ioways stayed is three
and Oh Iowa state, and Mike, you may pull up
their schedule. I'm going straight from memory here, because I
looked at it all a bunch of these games to
figure out who I wanted to bet. Iowa state has
beat Iowa. That was like a ten to seven game.

(37:19):
Other than that, they really haven't played anybody. They do
have a good team, but it's a projected good team
and they haven't really been blowing people out of the water.
So I'm going Baylor because I know they're good and
I feel like giving Baylor points. You're gonna give me

(37:39):
points with the team I feel is better, even though
I do think it's on the road. So I'M gonna
go on Baylor plus two and a half because I
think they're mad. It's what can you tell me, Mike? Yeah,
I always say who they played? Missouri, okay, nobody. I
always state, like you said, they played Iowa, yes, and

(38:00):
in Ohio. Oh Yeah, Ohio of Miami, and people writing
like that was a big game, like there's a heck
of the game versus Ohio, Miami, of Ohio No, just Ohio,
just Ohio even worse. Yeah, because I put them on
N C double a football and I picked them sometimes
thinking it was Ohio's state. So I'm going Baylor plus

(38:20):
two and a half, just because it's kind of like
dance with the devil, you know, and I know Baylor's good,
I have no idea about it. I always state because
they haven't played anybody. Next up, I got oh you
minus twelve and a half and oh you playing. Can't state.
And here's why I think that Oklahoma is actually gonna
beat them by more than twelve and a half. I

(38:40):
think it's gotten a little more real for Oklahoma and
that they're just not a really good team. I think
now that Dylan Gabriels and the heisman conversation, I think
now there are other things on their mind other than
just winning games during the conference. I think they see
a bigger, bigger picture now. I think you're just a
bit more focused. When you have exact focus, not just
let's just go blow them out. I think when you're

(39:03):
going with real tiny goals, I think that's very helpful
and and I think they're going to really kick the
crap out of Kansas State. So I'm going Oklahoma minus
twelve and a half. I will tell you this, though,
that most of my Oklahoma betting because I do mostly
just so I can root for them alongside my wife,

(39:23):
because mostly I won't root for Oklahoma. I grew up
from Arkansas. We didn't like Oklahoma, but my wife is
a big Ou fan. I have people that I know
they ou, athletic, writer, director now. So I'll bet on Oklahoma.
Just want to root for them like a forest, and
they don't. But they don't win a lot. They don't
cover a lot. That worries me a little bit. Last
week they look like they found something last week and
I bet them last week when they took it to Nebraska,

(39:46):
and I think but they have specific goals in mind
now and I think those small specific goals will help
the actual big goal, just winning games by a lot.
So is anyone angry in that game? Well, here's thinking about.
Oh you they're angry that people are going now is
a luke against Nebraska. Okay, I knew there's what he's saying.
That was a fluke against Nebraska. Yeah, I'm giving them

(40:10):
bulleted board material, just a little. Put it up and
beat him. Uh. So those are my it's a two
game parlay. This time it's Baylor plus two and a half. Oh,
you minus twelve and a half. Betted at your own peril.
More smiles and frowns. Yeah, yeah, that was better than
better at Joan Peril. More smiles and frowns. Listeners that

gonna go now. And here from rich Eisen, who, for me,
I knew rich as an ESPN sports and anchor. Super Cool.
Second one, it's pretty cool. Yeah, he's a he's a legend.
We've had some really cool people and Jay Glazer on Monday.

(41:13):
Oh my gosh, amazing. Yeah, we just did it. It's awesome.
He was awesome. And so you guys talk to rich Eisen,
who I'm a big fan of. I listened to him
constantly even now. I mean it's not somebody I'm like, man,
back in the day he was cool. Like I'm still
a rich Eisen guy. So super cool to talk to
rich and we're gonna go to that right now. Rich,
I was in California this past weekend for a wedding,
and now that you live out there full time, do

(41:35):
you still appreciate how early you get to watch games?
Nine am I was watching Oklahoma Nebraska. Well, Bobby Uh, look,
these are first class problems. Um, that where I think
you're you're leading me into to start our chat. Um,
because of the time difference. Um, I host NFL Game
Day Mornings. Four hour pregame show up to the one

(41:56):
o'clock Eastern Times out here in Los Angeles. That's a
six AM UH kick from my show of four am
wake Um requires lots of coffee, lots of job and
lots of energy, lots of Gumption, but thankfully I've got
those UH still in my mid fifties, or soon to
be mid fifties, and spades. So it is great. Though

(42:18):
it is amazing that the Sunday night game over at
ate something. The best part about it, though, is, to
be honest with you, during baseball season. Um, I've got
an eleven year old boy who's really into baseball and
if he lived on the east coast he wouldn't see
a world series game past the third inning, and here
in Los Angeles he sees the whole damn thing. So
that's pretty cool out here. Yeah, it's difficult if I'm

(42:40):
in California doing anything television wise. I have to get
up at one am to do my morning show because
it's six eastern and so it's just brut is brutal.
So I enjoyed the early games on the West Coast.
Have you, because I watched your show. You're the reason
I got the Roku APP. I'm being honest. I'm a massive, yeah,
massive fan and have been for a whole long time
and I watch you. If I in your podcast. Each

(43:01):
hour is loaded separately, so I try to. I'm a
big Fan. If you can't tell, I know all the
nuances of the rich eyes and show, Um, but I
have the ROKU APP that I can watch you guys on.
You've had to transition a bit with all the new technologies.
You know, you have an eleven year old son too.
Does he help you stay on what to? What's what's called?
And Eleven and UH and a nine and they are Um.

(43:25):
It's amazing because back when I was a kid, you know,
back when I was a kid, Um, it would be
what's on channels to four and seven right. Uh. Now
they know what's on an APP and they get pissed
at me when I when I go to try and
search for anything on the old ROKU device. They're like, Dad,

(43:46):
that's on paramount plus, Dad, that's on, it's on Disney,
like and they and and they say it with such scorn. Um,
I don't understand it. Um, but that's you know, I
take it, I absorb it and I try to get
better every day. That's why I have this on my
desk every day. I don't know if anybody's ever gonna
try to take this away from me. The best at ever,
but you know that's I'm in my hopefully, uh, fourteenth

(44:11):
consecutive year of that title run that I'm on. You're
a big Michigan Guy. I'm a big Arkansas Guy, and
sometimes people will tell me, hey, chill with the Arkansas stuff.
Do you ever get notes or did you ever get
notes going hey man, you're talking a little too much
about Michigan. Um, no, I haven't gotten that, but I
do get some looks sometimes from my guys here on
the show, like when I had Jim Harbaugh on last week.
I did since a little bit of like, okay, break

(44:34):
it up, get a room type stuff, like from my
colleagues here. And and to be honest with you, you
know it is uh it again to be completely straightforward
with you or not, like I wasn't in the last
few minutes. But Um, that look. I mean sure, Michigan,
when I talk about Michigan, it is still just of

(44:57):
interest to a specific region, a specific conference there. May
you know, I could point out that we are the
largest alumni base on planet earth from the United States
and so, Um, we are a significant bunch, but it
is still somewhat provincial talk about that, but I'm assuming
you're tuning into the show to hear what what makes

(45:18):
me tick, what makes me really fired up, what what
gets my goat? WHAT GETS ME INTERESTED? Um, and that's
one of them. You know, I'm I've been very fortunate
to do what I do for a living. The I
do have a no cheering in the press box mentality
for the last twenty five years. But there are still
things that personally get me fired up and do emotionally
affect me sports wise. That makes me wonder if I'm

(45:42):
if I'm if I'm off Kilter, and that's Yankee Baseball
in Michigan Sports. So those are the two things that
still get me out of my chair. Do you ever
feel like you're getting too close to the Sun at times?
Because I felt too like I've been so involved in
the program, like I don't want to hate a coach
because then I'll feel slightly different about the team, so
I how to keep a somewhat healthy distance. Yeah, I mean,

(46:03):
I I hear you on that, like I do. Sometimes
I don't want to interview hardball because I don't want
to interrupt him. You know, and trust me, I'm very
glad they beat the crap out of Yukon fifty nine nothing,
even though I am friendly with Jim Mora Um, but
I didn't. I never want them to lose the week
after I've spoken to him. I am that sort of,

(46:27):
I guess, superstitious type guy. Well, you don't want to
get like the mannings when you know that, because everybody
was going on the manning cast. They were like, Oh,
it's the curse of the mannings and all of a
sudden he loses after talking. Do you God forbid? There's
some sort of eyes and curst the University of Michigan.
Now it's the exact opposite. We call it the rich
eyes and show bump around here. Bobby people get nominated
for things when they come on this show, their show

(46:49):
gets picked up, you know, for another season. That's the
way we we try to flip it glass half full
around here. I want to talk about getting the call,
like the big call. You know, I just knowing your history,
you know, just being, you know, a sports anchor and
reporterback at a local station, but moving up to ESPN.
When you got the call that we want you at espn,

(47:11):
where were you and what? What was actually said on
the call. So I was in Redding California, Um, at
the ABC local affiliate, K R C R television, and
I sent a tape to a head hunter, Um, three
of them across the United States. I was twenty five
years old this and I'm like, you know, I was

(47:31):
there for a year. I'm like, what does it matter? Uh,
it's just first class post did I'll send these tapes out.
So they send the tapes out to a head Hunter
and Um, I get a phone call, uh at home
from the head hunter who says to me, I've got
a very interesting and interesting bite. A big time shop
is interested in more of your works than the best

(47:51):
written material. Another tape, sent, another tape and then I
go to work one day and Um, it's a a
phone where it would ring once, one loud ring if
it was a local call, and a ring ring if
it was outside of the area code. I mean again,
this is and whenever it would ring ring, it would

(48:15):
it would be my parents or my brother, because I'm
from New York City and they lived in New Jersey
and my brother was in southern California. So it never
would ring, ring twice and ring ring and I pick
up the phone and it was an agent named Henry
reach from the William Mars talent agency, saying he wanted
my real immediately because I was the hottest up and

(48:37):
coming sportscaster in America, according to him and what he
had been hearing. And I'll might all right, because I'm
about to go drive fifty miles into the Shasta mountain
range to try and cover a local high school volleyball
game with my three quarter inch camera connected with a
coaxial cable to the deck with a huge, you know,
uh strap over my other shoulder, one man band, mean

(49:00):
the whole thing. And so, Um, I'm not feeling very hot.
He goes send me the tape. Great, hang up the phone,
call my brother up and I'm like you'll never guess
what just happened, and I tell him he let's get
out of here. No kiden. I'm like yeah, that's just tapping,
hanging the phone up, ring, ring, and another one, and
this isn't five minutes of each other. And I'm like watch,
I am such hot. That's ESPN on the phone, and

(49:24):
sure enough it was a guy named Al Jaffey from ESPN,
their head hunter, who I had sent multiple unsolicited tapes
and resumes too, over the previous five year period, and
it was him telling me that he had gotten my tape.
They really like it and they want to set up
an interview in an audition. And I thought it was
my brother telling all of my friends back home call rich,

(49:44):
say you're Al Jaffee sending all that, and I thought
it was all my friends trying to mother you know.
and Um, it was not. It was the real deal
guy and I almost cursed him out, thinking it was
a friend, like who are you? But it was really
him and I flew down to Los Angeles a few
weeks later to uh to interview. Um I did with

(50:05):
a whole bunch of executives that were there for the
cable ace awards, which no longer exists, and then a
few weeks later I auditioned for the gig Um on
a Monday after by the way, a snowstorm prevented me
from getting halfway across the country in the initial time
of auditioning. So it was a long wait, a lot

(50:25):
of ups and downs, but I got the GIG after
auditioning with Al Jaffee, and that's my story. Did you
ever have impostor syndrome or at any time do you
have impostor syndrome? While you were there, especially the early days.
What do you mean? Like you're like, okay, I'm probably
not at the level do they think I am. I'm
about to do this and I'm not really that good. Oh,
my first sports center was with the Larry Beale was

(50:46):
the sports center anchor. He's now out in, UH, northern California.
and Um, it was this is before Espn News, so
I was the last guy that they hired that they
threw directly on sports center. and Um, so ESPN news
is what they would put guys and gals on to
get their teeth cut and get up to speed. So, Um,

(51:08):
I I just remember it was a half hour sports
center in the on the on the round of thirty
two day, I believe, or it was a sweet sixteen.
It was the middle of March, so it's probably a
round of thirty two day and we I had eleven highlights.
That had only seen one of them. So they were
gonna hand me ten paperwork shot sheets it where you
could follow along what's written there, uh, to to know

(51:31):
what the highlights were. Um, and I would have to
add lib the whole damn thing and I remember walking
downstairs and saying to myself I have two choices. I
can either pee down my leg or I could just
suck it up and say I'm ready for this, and
I think I did both. Um, and it was wild, Um.
And I just looked around and the people that were

(51:53):
in the news room where all the anchors who I
had emulated or wanted to emulate or had watched for
years and what made me want to be a sportscenter anchor,
and they were automatically my colleagues. and Um, it was overwhelming,
no question about it. Keith Olberman and Dan Patrick and
Kilbourne and you know, Robin Roberts and Dave, you know,

(52:14):
Charlie Starner, Bob Lee. I mean, my God, these are
all the people that I was now colleagues with. It
was overwhelming. But you know, I was aged six, um,
but it it's time in my life. Seven years met
my wife there. My children are ESPN babies because of that.
Technically and unbelievable. What a run. I watch a lot
of your your work with the draft, and I wonder

(52:36):
what people, being a big fan of you, people admiring
what you do, do you sometimes get a lot of
inside information that you can't share. Like there's a fine
line of things you know and things you can actually say. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, but I mean I don't think I'm
I do this thing to break news, you know, and
I say that having a journalism degree from northwestern, I

(52:58):
know that that that that uh, not something you want
to say. I think I'm here to just kind of
guide everyone through what I'm hearing and understand what I
can say what I don't say. You know, I'm not schefter.
I mud Ian Rappaport, my colleague at the NFL network.
That's not that's not what I'm doing. If I hear
something that can break something, I will do that. But, Um,

(53:19):
you know a great for instance is it prior to
the eighteen draft? All I heard this is the draft
in Dallas, that it went Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald,
Josh Allen, uh, Josh Rosen, and then Lamar Jackson was
the last quarterback. That was the quarterback draft. Of We
had heard quite a bit on this show, Um, from
people who we spoke to off camera and what I

(53:41):
heard at the combine leading up. We heard a lot
that Russell Wilson was in play. We're like you get
out of here, like what the Hell? Um, really and Um,
you know, we didn't say anything, which is good because
Russell didn't get traded. But now we found out literally
in the week before his home winner in Seattle, as
a member of the Broncos, he let it be known

(54:03):
that they did try to trade him, trade him prior
to so what we heard was actually accurate. But had
we said it, we would have created this huge stir Um,
or or I shouldn't say that. What I say creates
a huge stir. I shouldn't say that. I would just
say that we would have definitely put something out there
that might have gained attention potentially significantly. That would have

(54:26):
been inaccurate, even though it was accurate. Um, and I
don't like to traffic in those waters. I would just
prefer to kind of make you smarter by by talking
about the things that I think are going to happen,
not what I'm hearing could happen like that. That is
not what I like to traffick and we'll get back
to more with rich eyesen in just a second. Let's

back to more with rich Eisen. You've been running the
forty for a bunch of years now. Are you ever
gonna hit a time where you're like, all right, I
gotta stop. If you had like a seven, seven seconds,
are you gonna go like, I need to pass this down,
let my son do it now. No, bobby. If I

(56:13):
if I need a walker, that's when I'll stop. And
had actual help, you know, Um doing that. But to
be very, um straightforward with you again, Um, yeah, there
is like at some point, Um, I don't think people
want to watch some guy run, you know, with a
limp and do something Um, particularly bad. My wife wants

(56:34):
me to train for it, Um and Um, I don't know.
I mean I go back and forth like should I
really really train for it? Like it was sort of
like an every band approach where just like it's just
anybody coming off the couch and running it. But now
maybe Um, as again fifty three, perhaps me training for
it could be Um, could be uh, I guess, an

(56:59):
example to who are advancing Um to stay in shape,
and maybe that's another aspect of it that I need
to focus on, because the reason why I do it
now and don't want to give it up is because
of the fundraising aspect for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Um.
But it has been, you know, amazing. It's the, as
you can see here, the the logo of my show

(57:22):
and what so many people do associate me with. And
it was born, like many things in television, out of
complete boredom waiting to shoot television show. As I was
sitting next to Terrell Davis under the buzz of the
old R C a dome, which got blown to Smith
of reens for the new stadium in Indianapolis, where he
said Uh, I said, how fast do you think I
can run the forty? He laughed at me. I cursed

(57:45):
at him and went down and ran it. Had No
idea that the NFL network crew on a break was
actually recording it. They played it back as a surprise
to me on live TV and it kind of got
a life of its own that still lives today. Well, rich,
I appreciate the time a big fan and like again,
and if you guys have Roku or Roku Channel, which
I have the ROKU APP and I'm able to catch

(58:05):
rich on our listen listening on podcast as well. Uh.
One of the interviews that I really enjoyed was when
you talk to the guys that do the town halls,
the Chad Kroeger, the you know when you went and
you were like hey, because they go into these town
hall meetings and like propose water towers named after Britney Spirit. Like.
I thought that was such a funny interview. And I'll
end with this, because you are interviewing celebrities and athletes.

(58:27):
Have you had to change your style or research a
bit more, because your interviews are a bit different now? Well,
you know, I've got a great um production team that
that's stuck with me and this show through the pandemic
and through many different partners. Hopefully the roku journals the
last switch that I make, Um, and I appreciate that
you you got a Roku device just to keep watching.

(58:51):
That's pretty cool. But we we we dig in to
see if there is a celebrity sports cross section, because
that's the idea of this show is, you know, uh,
that sports is a touchdowne of pop culture just as
much as movies and television. Um, the greatest sporting event

(59:11):
that the that the American sports scene puts on and exports,
the Super Bowl, is stopped in the middle for a
rock concert and nobody bats an eyelash anymore. So it
really is something that I love to put together, and
I'm thrilled that the folks at Roku and the Roku
channel are into it too. So whenever a celebrity comes on,

(59:32):
we see, you know, did they play sports or if
they're a die hard fan of the team. Happy to
dive in and let them be a pundit, Um and
and give opinions, because I think when a celebrity who's
into that, uh comes in to promote his or her
movie or television show or music or album, they prefer

(59:53):
to talk about that rather than the funny story from
their vacation. Um. And then there are some celebrities who
don't no sports very well and are deathly afraid that
if they come on, it'll be like if you saw
the movie diner where, Um, you know, one of the
characters won't get married to his fiance unless he passes
a quiz on the Baltimore cult. Successfully, they feel like

(01:00:15):
that's what I'm going to do with them or to them,
which is the worst thing for a host to do.
So I try to make it comfortable and just talk
about their movie or TV history and Um, so we've
got to, as I said, a terrific crew that we
put together here and we all, you know, I think,
I really like each other. Um, that we we come

(01:00:35):
up with a segment called celebrity true or false, where
we just go through their history about, well, this story
was on the Internet, this story was on your IMDB page.
Is it true or false about your TV show or
you about your your your movies? And it's just a
great way and fans eat it up, thank goodness. I
mean we had Henry Winkler on the other month and

(01:00:55):
we talked to about jump the shark. Um. We had,
you know, Gerald mccraney here the other day. Um, from
so many terrific shows. We asked them about major dad
and that's what I love to do, just having people
from across the pop culture landscape talk about their movies
and TV. So yes, my long winded answer is yes,
there is a lot more research that goes into it,

(01:01:17):
but you put up a production constructor to place it in.
And not only is it Um something enjoyable to watch
and listen to live, it's very consumable on an on
demand podcast or youtube or youtube page. Um YouTube dot
com slash rich eyes and show has twenty eight thousand
videos from our near eight here history on it. And so, yeah,

(01:01:40):
I do love having celebrities on and and and it
does require a little bit more help. Certainly if you
mentioned chat and t j, they come on and drop
the word paraneum for the first time in my my
show's history. Listen, Big Fan, you guys follow at Rich
Eyesen at rich eyes and show, Roku UH as, as
you say now, you be announcing a serious channel really soon.

(01:02:21):

one word, bobby sports. Hey, we're the soul losers, lunchbox,
Eddie and Ray. We're not your typical sports show. It's
more like three guys sitting at a bar complaining about sports.
Like your fantasy football team, I regret drafting Ezekiel Elliott.
Come on, I don't even know why that hopes in him. Now,
after seeing the way he can't run, I'm dropping Ezeki Elliott.

(01:03:47):
Derrick Henry, he can't run to the bars on Broadway.
He's not gonna run five yards in a football game.
Elijah Mitchell, he's gonna be Great. The niners run the ball.
I can tell you that. I forgot. He's softer than Sharman.
Tore the paper. Sub ribe and listen to sore losers.
I heart radio, APP apple podcast or wherever you get
your podcast. Thanks again to rich Eisen for coming on
the show again. Jay Glazer on Monday, Um Ian Rapport

(01:04:10):
coming up. If you are we still Ricky Williams? Sometime Soon? Yeah,
next week, yes, man, we're lining them up? Maybe Jerry Jones?
How are we doing? Just a quick check in. We
all had coaches that we were trying to book for
a five prize. So, Eddie, who's your coach and how's
it going? Billy and Napier, head coach of the Florida Gators,
I sent, I shot off a couple of emails. Let

(01:04:32):
me tell you this, boys, I gotta reply. Go ahead
quick Le Say so. The reply was from UH, Nancy Scarborough.
She is the Executive Assistant of football operations in Florida,
and I too went very heavy with my friend Bobby.
Oh my gosh, USA just copied for that one. That's funny.

(01:04:54):
This guy, he's been everywhere. These are our numbers and uh,
I said if he'd be available, we would really appreciate it.
She says, Oh, Eddie, I'm very familiar with your show.
I think it's a great idea. I'm looping in coach
Napier's media communication person, Rick hurt her Tatto, love Mr Hurtado,
who coordinates interviews, appearance requests, Etcetera. So I'll let you know. Thanks,

(01:05:17):
Nancy's let's go get that money. Okay, let's go check
in with Mike d Mike what coach did you draw
out of the hat? Have Willcox from CAL okay, I've
sent off a few emails and this has been my response. Nothing.
I've heard nothing. Yeah, it sucks. It takes a while

(01:05:37):
for email to go to west coast, and think about that.
Horses got a lot farther to travel. So who did
you message? Every director I could find, every assistant I
could find, and nothing. You'RE gonna have to go there.
If I've even got on instagram messaging people. I'm going
to California this week. Mike just here. That's a good

(01:05:58):
technique as well. Obviously good instagram. Have faith that somebody
will reply eventually. But if we should make a rule here,
if it's just dead and you can't get it, I
think you should be able to go hear me out,
because we can actually make the rules here, since it's
a money game. We can either go everybody gets one
that they can pass on, so you get one free.
That's not gonna work, or you can go all right,

(01:06:21):
this one's not working and you can go to the
next one, but it takes you back one. What if
we get a straight up no? Well then you can
just move to the next one without any penalty and
you can just show us it's a no. Okay. So
which do you like? Do you like just going I'm
moving off this, but there's a penalty and moving off
of it, like you get you're then minus one, Mike,
if you're at zero? Or do you get one mull again,

(01:06:44):
but then if you get hung up again, you're just
dead and you can never yeah, then you're out of
the running. Then it's like you can't do anything, because
I did like the mull again at first. Yeah, yeah,
let's go with the point deduction. I like that one.
I like point deduction. It gives you fair like you know,
you can move on, but you get penalized, but you
can still survive if you do that. Okay, the other one.

(01:07:04):
You're right, dude, you're exactly you're out. It's like, all right,
Mulligat next one, you get another note. State. Crap, it's
John Cox's brother. We're gonna from. All right, keep on,
keep on rocking, trying, yeah, other ways to I don't
want to keep you guys. Don't say anything, and Mike
doesn't need my tips. Trust me, I could take tips
from Mike. So if he's not getting them, I'm not

(01:07:26):
even sure they're a real program anymore. I'm not sure
they don't play football. It's just a totally different world
that I'm used to. Like people in Sports, Mike's like, hello,
Mr Sports Ball Guy. Kickoff, Kevin. What do you got, um?
So I drew Jimbo Fisher at Texas A and M.
I have reached out full. First I hit up amy
actually from the show, and I said, Hey, amy, you

(01:07:47):
got any connections to a and M football? I know
it's not really as far you know. Yeah, and she
said Hey, okay, yeah, I don't really know anybody. We'll
get back to you. Haven't heard from amy yet, so
he can't even get responsible here. I'm pretty sure she forgot.
Twenty minutes later she probably moved all of their life. Okay,
thanks amy, Um. And then I send off an email
similar to, you know, eddies and years like throughout the numbers. Hey,

(01:08:09):
we're bones, bl blah, blah. We're on a conversation. Like
we would love to have Jimbo on just a little
some of his time. I'd really appreciate it. And Mike,
if you get those crickets guy, who did you send
it to? His assistant. It says the head football coaches assistant.
I can't remember her name, and there was like three
or four other people that were like the communications people
are relations people, Um, and I've got nothing. So I

(01:08:33):
might give her a call though, pretty soon here. Yeah,
and I would also just as a general rule, if
you don't hear anything back, they may not work there anymore.
The Dallas cowboys, remember, the guys send it to didn't
work there anymore. I gotta bounce back. And then you
got two other emails. So just remember that and then
can can you guys ask me for help once a season? Oh,

(01:08:55):
there's a there's a good cavity like it where it's
just like hey, could you send a note or could
you make a call? Do you guys want that? Mike,
what do you think? Or is that cheating? That cheating,
but money involved. But it's it's once Mike speaks up.
That's why I'm asking. That's why I'm asking. Okay, so

(01:09:16):
no Jimbo Fisher yet. No, nothing yet. I feel like
I'm at a disadvantage, by the way, on the whole
social thing, because you guys got blue check marks. Mike doesn't.
Tried to get Mike. I don't either on twitter, not
on Instagram, but my weasley eight hundred followers and I'm
they're like, WHO's this guy? I'm gonna tell you, though.
You have eighteen hundred, though, because you're kind of sex

(01:09:37):
symbol of the show and I keep putting your face
up there on the page and they and they don't
followed you. Yeah, you're honest. Okay, good luck. Let us
know how it goes. I'll check in on Monday, probably.
All right, Adam, who do you have? I got great
Ciano at rugger's, which which seems equally random as cow.
But I was gonna say it's like both sides, it's like, well,
they even hear from an email from the south. Yeah,

(01:09:58):
it's like it's on. It's like you want to have
you want to have us on this, but why? You know.
But but I made a phone call the other day.
I went straight to the Internet, found a phone number.
I called Mr Jimmy Gill with the Rugger's football program
and then I emailed him as well, because I just

(01:10:20):
wanted to be super annoying about it and the and
then I laid it on thick. I gave the good
the good email with the numbers and the whatnot, and
then Jimmy said. Hi, Adam, thanks for reaching out. I'll
check in and get back to you. So I feel
like that was not nothing, that it was it was
more than crickets, less than definitely, so I'll take it. Mike,
what about this? Okay, could they could all. You don't

(01:10:42):
need this, though, so you're gonna say no, but I'M
gonna ask it anyway instead of me, could they go
to Scuba Steve for advice, who books a lot of people,
just advice for advice. Yeah, yeah, I'm good at but
but you don't want him to have to. He can't
do anything. So you all get one couple on to
go to SCOOBA Steve, who is an excellent booker because

(01:11:02):
he's our executive produce of the bibones show. He can
give you lots of tips. Confession. Yeah, already, okay, he
didn't know that. He didn't know that wasn't a rule.
So as of now, so now he gets as far
as like who to reach out to you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Scoola,
can you hear me? What's what does general advice you

(01:11:26):
would give everybody about trying to book someone that doesn't
know who we are and we have no relationship with
for sports or for music for sports, for sports. That's
a tough thing, but I think your name is big
enough to where you could use that as your starting point. Hey,
I work for the bobby bones show. We and this
is our given stats of what our show does. You
tell them how many million listeners we get, how many

(01:11:47):
downalds we have in the podcast, all the basic stat information, um.
And then you go into we do this other side
project called twenty five whistles that gets promotion on the
national show that super serves plus affiliates. Yet Ya, Yada.
So you get cross promotion, you get on both shows. Um.
And then you give them some options. Never leave things
open ended. You have to always give them what you

(01:12:08):
need and what you want, because if you leave it
to them, it will never close or they give you
options that aren't gonna work for our time schedule, meaning, Hey,
can you do Tuesday at three or can you do
Thursday at noon? Exactly, don't. Don't. What can you guys do? No,
don't ask them that. You just tell them exactly what
you can do and they'll try to work around that.
That's a great point that I wasn't gonna share it
and SCOOBING SCOOBA nails. He's the expert of this. It's

(01:12:30):
like if someone says hey, let's let's hang out sometime,
when you actually ever go hang out with somebody? Never, never, never,
rep reports, still waiting for you to hang out with them.
That's true. I never mailed him, prime example. I never
emailed him. They're like, just email me, we'll figure it.
I think it's hilarious and just like yeah, yeah, okay, well,
maybe we'll get us an interview. Good Luck, guys. Nobody.

(01:12:53):
You're all the same, though. Right now, everybody's sitting at zero.
A couple of US got some replies. Well, let's add
the point. You get zero. Uh. I think that's that's
gonna do it for today. With some of the stuff
I think we're gonna do next week, because we're gonna draft.
I'll Rut the NFL Games real quick. I have to.
You have to have like four things I wanted to do,

(01:13:14):
but I got a doctor's appointment. I've already miss lunched.
It's a whole situation. Now you're grumpy. I told Eddie
as like we're not gonna go very long today. Famous
last words. All Right, Um, my NFL page. Okay, I
got it? Nope, I don't have it. Mike Sound Kevin
One gave me. Looking forward to the most. I'M gonna
go with the bills and dolphin. I know we talked

(01:13:35):
about it a few times this week, but I mean
just seeing those teams go on it will be fun.
It's in Miami too, which makes it more fun. It's
a little bit of a challenge for the bills to
go down there and do that right now. You know,
the challenge of going to Miami and the challenge of
Planning Buffalo in the winter different challenges. You know. I
kind of like that challenge. You going to Miami. Um,
and I'M gonna shout out Kevin here because I was
looking for a page on the ground. I just do it. Kevin,

(01:13:56):
randomly and Awkward Vina. He was ready, and look at him, Jobe,
he bench presses, he's quick, good looking. Get this guy.
I love that game. I don't think it's gonna be
a great game, but if it is, that's the game
of the year. I'm a big to a guy. I
love to I've always loved to, love to, for he
was a lot lovable this week. So let's go. Let's go.

(01:14:20):
I love with the dolphins to win. I just don't
think they're going to, but I would love to be
wrong on this one. Um Eddie, tell me when you
talk about your game. Also want to know what your
NFL bet. My car game of the week is. Yeah,
because you are your one car down. Already lost my car,
so now it's like big time. We gotta get it back,
so double it up, let's go. It's his wife's car.

(01:14:41):
Now my kids can't even get to school. So I'M
gonna go on that game. I mean, I gotta go
with the chiefs because they're playing the colts. Uh. The
colts have showed us that they're just they cannot get
it together. I mean the chiefs are going to Annapolis.
It's a little worrisome, but that that's why the line
is at minus five. I think that's a low line
for the tick Kansas City chiefs. They're the second best

(01:15:02):
team in the NFL right now, right under the bills.
Let's go with the chiefs. Minus five against Indianapolis. That
number is so tantalizing. I saw it to the five.
It was so just dreamy and perfect that I'm like,
sums up, I can't I know. And when you did
your locks earlier you were you were saying it's like
and you're gonna give me two points every time I
say that, like Vegas is really giving me minus five.

(01:15:25):
They're doing. Yeah, they do every time. So you say
it again. Your Bet your wife's car the week. My
wife's car is already lost. Mine is the Kansas City chiefs.
Minus Five. Oh that's such a number. Ye, get that, yum, yum. Alright, Adam,
game of the week. Game of the week. This is.
This is my bias siren. I'm really I just want

(01:15:47):
to see what the cowboys are made of this week.
Did they do they actually keep it going like it's
it's cooper rush, gonna have a decent game against the giants.
Are the giants any good at all? I still don't know.
There's so many questions about both these two teams. How
much can the cow boys salvage? How good are the
giants actually? That's a really interesting game to me. I
think I was gonna pick the same game because I
don't think it's such a bias alert, because I know

(01:16:09):
I do have a little biased so too. Do you
have money alarm? Yeah, we should all. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think also we should have to call the bias
a long money each other for no one. If somebody
is biased, you go bias alarm microlhad. Yeah, so I
do have a little biased too, but I think can
the cowboys win two of four with rush? That would
be great for them. Are the giants any good? Probably not,

(01:16:31):
but maybe giants have a chance to beat the wounded
cowboys team ago what three, you know they really do?
That would be crazy and great for them. Um, that's
a really interesting game to me. So I'm glad you.
You picked that one. I guess the I'm gonna pick
the Jaguars and chargers, and mostly you never pick a
game with the jags because who the crap cares? But

(01:16:52):
the Jags have been playing pretty good. The chargers are
really good, but they're down a quarter of a quarterback. Yeah,
let's see how you play and so and let's see
how the Jacks play again, I mean and Jack's have
a really good defense. And let's see what if Trevor
Lawrence in that offense. They're just throwing the ball like
in the backyard football. Let's see if they can score
some points on this. I think we learned a lot
through that game. I think so too. Yeah, quickly. Ravens

(01:17:16):
and Patriots. Let's see what Lamar does. Let's see if
he keeps it up, because he's been crushing it. Um, yeah,
let's turn. Yeah, we're learning as we go, guess. All right.
Next up, Texans and bears. I mean, who the crap cares? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean the Texans could win that game and they

(01:17:37):
they win that game, although they're playing in Chicago, and
then they got another win in the division of just
get a win, just get a win and move up.
Next up, raiders and titans. That's here in town, in Nashville.
I think the raiders probably win that one. Um, wouldn't
mind see the titans win, though. Chiefs and Colts. Eddie

(01:17:58):
hit that one right on the head. Bills and dolphins.
Let's see if Miami can keep it close and if
they win, holy crap. Lions and Vikings. That's a would
be a fun game to watch. By the way, I
talk to Dan Skipper. I start gonna come on the
show next week. Yeah, I forgot. I don't know wh
if we got to mention that. You Email Jerry Jones
going on? Oh, I just messaged him. I was like Yo,

(01:18:20):
skip and he's like uh he's like when is it?
We got a big division game this week, so I
can't like right now, but next week. I was like,
let's go. Bro So, who's playing offensive line for the
lions right now, was on big deal last week and
they're like scoop skip in locker room. So hopefully I'll
come on next week. Pretty cool. Bengals and jets. Bengals

(01:18:41):
will wipe floor. Eagles and commanders. Eagles are really hot,
but commanders aren't bad. So it'll be interesting to see
if the eagles can and Jalen hurts can keep that up.
Rams and cardinals. I think the rams probably thrash. I
think the cardinals probably have that hangover. Um. I hope
they do it to the rams elevate a bit and

(01:19:02):
we need a few more pillar really strong teams. Falcons
and Seahawks, who gives a crap? Packers and bucks. That's
another game almost yeah, Brady and Aaron Rodgers and yeah,
that's that's that's a good one right there. And forty

(01:19:23):
nine the broncos. Also an interesting game because it's just
the two quarterbacks I'm interested in now, Garoppolo, and obviously
we're just trying to see if Denver ends up being
pretty good, you know. So all right, there you go.
That's that. Alright, Mikey, my wife's call and makes you
like you don't have a docs appointment. Your lunch is
at the House and so I'm not gonna be able

(01:19:44):
to eat now I gotta go. So anyway, sorry, man,
that's all right. That's that's on me, Broe. We just
got to talk to you. Know what I'm saying. You
start chopping it up sports and football and stuff. Alright,
final thought, Eddie Man, I watched an awesome video of
this guy, uh cowboys fan, obviously in Arlington, goes into
a Walmart and a horse and the horses painted white

(01:20:06):
and blue, cowboy blue, and he's wearing a Dak Prescott
Jersey and Dude, he's just cruising down the island. Apparently
that's not illegal. It's totally illegal on your horse. So
cops couldn't do anything. They're like, you don't want a
dog sometimes? Well, he said it was a therapy horse,
so let's go cowboys. I like it. It's pretty cool.
I like it. Kick off, Kevin. The Patriots are underdogs

(01:20:28):
on spread of two and a half the ravens this
weekend and under Belichick at home. The Patriots are fifteen
and four against the spread in his era. I hate
those stats, good stats. It's just a random like who
comes up with those stats? Data, actual, actual actions, just
like you know, that's going to change and then we'll
never talk about that stat again. Ever, like next week,
stats changed. Data changes with more Adam UH my. My

(01:20:54):
final thought comes in the form of a confession. I
tried to bet your parlay last week, bobby, and you
Bet Oklahoma, but I accidentally hit in Nebraska and placed
the bet and I missed out on a hundred bucks.
I would have had way like ten bucks. I would
have had way more smiles than frowns, but I was
frowning instead. Very sorry to hear that, Adam, bone head,

(01:21:16):
bonehead play on my part. You know, I've been keeping up.
It's like my second or third favorite team in college,
Big Vanderbilt Guy. You guys a boy that? Yeah, Bandy, yeah,
I bet him every week I've hit. They kept me
from hitting a ten team parlay, though I hit nine
out of ten. They kept me, maybe two weeks ago,
from in a ten teamer. That hurt a little bit,
but I've been they're playing Alabama this week and that

(01:21:37):
it spreads like yeah, forty or so, I'm not touching it.
Usually to be all over Alabama popping Vandy by seventy. Yeah,
I like that cut of these guys. Jim, come on,
I don't really know what Jim Means and this, this context,
sounded right. And they will lose and they'll lose by
a lot and they may even lose by more than forty.
But I'm gonna say it. I think vanderbilt is starting

(01:21:58):
to have a new culture because of coach Lee. It
may take him a while to get pretty good. Remember
an SEC medi days he was like no, we want
to be the best team of the country and they're
like in your division, no, no conference, no, no, no country,
and they went. But like, I see some fire in
these guys and if they can play Alabama and not

(01:22:19):
all die, that's a win. It's a win some big
bandy guy. It's funny. I just wanted to survive. Just
doing all that. Get through the next week, one guy
standing next week again. Thank you. This is, you know,
been a great show and draft kings has been awesome
with us and be sure to bet the parlay. And
other than that, we're gonna let Adam blow us out

(01:22:40):
of here. Let's go. Has a week list mon that
sounds like P for some reason it went from like
none to like a coach going all right, that game
is over. We'll see you guys on Monday. J Glazer
on Monday, and it sounds like everybody else next week
to Al Right, by everybody. Theme song written by me,
