Speaker 2 (00:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I was just I had I was driving down the street.
I pull it over just to talk to you. I mean,
I knew our call was going to be on, so
I pull over and I pull up in front of
the YMCA, and I was like, what a terrible name
for this week. We just got to call it the
y You can't call it the YMCA, or you can
just call it the YCA. Either way, what a horrible
branding situation for this week.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So let's start with Thanksgiving. What is it going to
look like for you? Are you having a big meal?
Is it a couple of big meals different places?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What is it going to be like on Thanksgiving? In
the Hall? Household?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Man? You know we're gonna have a quick early meal.
My mom likes to eat around like one thirty two o'clock, brother,
so it's like lunch. So I don't eat a lot
like you know what I mean? Like I'll eat a
nice little plate, but I don't pile it on like
it's not dinner. So I'll have a nice little lunch
appetizer situation, and then later that evening, I'll either double
(01:13):
my plate with the same food or I'm gonna go
to somebody else's home and just act like I haven't eaten,
and I'm like, nah, I haven't, No, So you can
just pile it on, you know what I mean. You know,
And here's the thing. So like the dinner that the
lunch plates, you gotta just kind of eat whatever is
in front of you, be polite. But the dinner place
is when you take second and third. You know. Black
people love taking food to go, and so you know,
(01:35):
I'm gonna go ahead and make sure I take some
to gold boxes as well, man, to make sure I
have food for you know, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, right
right right?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Do you show up at Mom's with your own rubber
maid or do you take hers with you? That's what
I want to know.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Hey, listen, man, hey, hey, brothers don't have rubber maids,
you know what I mean. We got a bunch of
we got a bunch of tinfoil and paper plate.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Taking leftovers in the margarine containers.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I know that. Hey, hey, ain't nothing wrong with the
market what you're talking about? You know what I'm saying,
You got you something.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Everything's better with blue bonnet on it or in it,
I should say, with regard.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
To and he's the team man, leftovers, leftovers and rubber maid.
It's just not leftovers, man, it's just too it's too clean,
it's too nice and pristine, Like leftovers need to be
leaking into the refrigerator. What I'm saying, mixed in with
the refrigerator oil. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
All of that, if the greenos mixed together with the
stuffing in the bowl, it's just not right. It's got
to come to get but in the refrigerator. Yeah, I
don't want to see Roy's refrigerator now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I bet it's wonderful. I bet it's Listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I usually don't keep food my I'm I'm like a
door dash guy for real. Like I'm the dude that
like asks the dude that brings my food, like did
you open my food? Bro?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Like?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And what took you so long? I'm that guy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You got a lot of beverages like you know, Coke
zeros and gatorays and is just stuff like that. Like
I love stacking like a bunch of like like liquids,
but I don't really like keeping food. I don't like
my refrigerator smelling like food.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Man, So labels out kind of like back in the
day MTV when they did cribs and people would open
up their fridge and it would be all labels that
would be all nice.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And neat, and you really wouldn't see much food in
those fridges. Kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I guess, yeah, that's how it is, man, Because that
team up NORF is gonna need a whole bunch of
hydration themselves, bro, because we're gonna knock the pits. Well,
we're gonna knock living daylight.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Absolutely. We are.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
On a side note before we get to that, we
have we're test driving. I wish that you would have
been able to come in today. Of course I didn't
ask you to do that, but you've been run ragged.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I guess that.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Seriously, Like as of late from from iHeart so, but
we're gonna test drive Costco. They have their own and
I guess they're backed by popular demand. We kind of
did a story on it earlier, well late last week,
and they have Costco has these amazing mashed potatoes that
they sell and they're these loaded mashed potato and I cooked.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Them in the oven.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh. They went in there for about an hour, and
then I threw them, you know, some foil over top,
almost kind of Roy Hall style, if you will. I
threw some foil over the top of them, and I
brought them in one of those you know packages that
holds in the heat. It's uh, you know, it's a
Rachel Ray thing. I stole it from my wife, and
so I brought that in. These things are piping hot still.
(04:26):
So we're gonna test drive those in a little bit.
And I know that's those are piled high on your
plate for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I would imagine the mashed potato.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
First of all. First of all, I thought you was
gonna say you stole one of those little warmers from
the pizza's livery guy.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That's what I thought you was going and above that,
and I'll do that.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I'll definitely second the second thing. When you said test
drive in Costco, I thought they was given away a
vehicle and y'all was gonna drive it around like you
using different language blazers, I don't really use. I've never
said I test drove food before in my life. I've
never I've never said I'm gonna test drive this pizza.
I've never. I've never I have never said that before,
So I was confused. I'm glad you brought me up
(05:03):
to speed. Mashed potatoes is on the list of thansgiving things.
It's not high because you can get mashed potatoes at
like any outback or Longhorn steakhouses. Is not really my thing.
You know, I need some mac and cheese with multiple
cheese layers. I need to be able to have the
mac and cheese where I can criticize it, Like you
can't really criticize mashed potatoes, but you can criticize somebody's
(05:25):
mac and cheese because there's a difference between like black
mac and cheese and white mac and cheese. You know,
when you start putting like vegetables in your mac and
cheese or putting cereal on top of it, that's the
whole situation. So I love to be able to eat
food that I can criticize. You like cold or hot
potato salad. Those are good discussion man, the.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Mac and cheese is good enough on its own and simplistic.
You need to just put good ingredients in. Don't try
to change it. It's the Mona Lisa. If you will,
you can't touch up the Mona Lisa mac and cheese.
Just use good ingredients and you don't need to do
anything else.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You really really don't. So that's where I kind of
come down on that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Brother. Here's the thing, though, brother, like this week, because
I put on a miniature list last night at Bucks
Line Live, which was absolutely awesome, that there are certain
things that you can't do during Michigan Week. And it
was a couple couple of situations, but one of them
that I purposely didn't include was eating mac and cheese,
like the yellow of the mac and cheese, unless you're
(06:26):
using like white cheese or some type of Hamardi or something,
you know, Like you know, I really think that, like
the yellow, I gotta be able to eat my mac
and cheese, even though I'm avoiding. By the way, you
sent me some yellow emojis with a yellow Please stop
sending me to bart Sinson emoji bro. Like you, they
have emojis with your skin complexion. Blade's like, why are
(06:47):
you sending me yellow like the lazy yellow emojis Michigan
Week number one, You shouldn't be using a number two.
What guys still send the yellow generic emoji when clearly
you can get your own incomplexion.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But to what you were pointing out, I'm driving down
the road dye and laugh and listening to you last
night talking about you cannot have scrambled eggs, you cannot
have American cheese, and you gotta be very hydrated because
your pee can't be that yellow, because if you aren't
hydrated enough, you gotta it's gotta be clear what you're
actually So you said, those are some things during Michigan
(07:24):
Week that absolutely cannot be on the menu, slash in
your life.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So I was dying laughing listen to it was very much.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Don't forget the fact that I said that your kids
don't not supposed to be riding them stupid yellow school buses.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You better figure out way to uber him the school
or something.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So good take us through.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Uh, you had your what you have two pair of
miss the gold pants?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I think I heard that I have I have four pair.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Last night you had to last night.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, so four and I thought it was a crazy
stat that LOGI threw out there that none of these
kids that are gonna be playing Michigan tomorrow none of
them have gold pants.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
None of them, zero, zilch none. And so for you
to think like something like that that has to hurt your.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Heart, Roy Man is awful. But here's the thing. They
gonna get a pair on this Saturday. I'm telling you
right now, there is no way. When I say no way,
there is no way possible that Ohio State's gonna lose
the football game this weekend. There's nothing. I mean, here's
the thing. I respect the rivalry, blade, I respect everything
(08:31):
that's going on. I respect the other team up nor
because you have to, because of the history, because of
the tradition. But on this particular weekend, we are not
losing this football game. So I'm so excited ahead of
time that these guys in that locker room get a
pair of gold pants. What's really crazy is the likes
of someone like Will Howard, who just transferred in from
Kansas State, who knows what they given a rivalry gains.
(08:53):
I don't even know if Kansas State has a rival
who knows that. I don't even know if that's real
football in the Big twelve. I don't know what conference
they are in right now, but you get it. Will
Howard transferring in, and then you got CJ. Strou who's
one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever come through here,
who probably will will get a pair of gold pants
if you know, all things going like the right way,
(09:14):
and CJ. Stroud has zero which is unbelievable to me.
But those guys in that locker room deserve it. They've
been playing well. The one loss to Oregon kind of
put us down a little bit, but we've been rolling
ever since. Man, So I'm extremely excited to get these
guys something to put on their neck. Week.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It is very very special what's happening with the Buckeyes
this week. And nobody has to tell coach Day what
all you know needs to happen, but it is looking
like everything's pointing in the direction that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
As far as this week for the players.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You've been through this several times and I know you're
probably you've been asked so many times about this, but
what the players go through, Yeah, it is beat Michigan week,
but It's something you think about from the very beginning
of the season. It's probably something you think about as
you're working out off season. It's something then you constantly
think about as an Ohio State Buckeye, isn't it Well.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You constantly think about it because you constantly see it
even before you become a real buck Eye. I mean,
the Ohio State Michigan rivalry goes back and that tradition.
I mean you're talking about years and years and years.
So whether you're in the South or you're on the
West Coast, when those games come on on rivalry weekend,
Ohio State Michigan is always up there. When they start
ranking the best rivalries in sports, Ohio State Michigan generally
(10:26):
is in that top two or three. And so, like
you hear about it even before you become a buck Eye.
But once you're on campus, once you're getting recruited, once
you committed to the Ohio State University, you immediately get
baptized into the hatred that you have for that team
up north. Again, you respect them because you have to
respect your adversary. But there's a yin and the yang
(10:48):
and those guys are up there hating us and we're
down here hating them. The problem is they're on the
three game winning streak, and so this is that opportunity
for us to put things and write the ship at
so to speak. But you're always thinking about when I
was with Trust, we would in the spring every week
we would watch a week or a quarter of the
Michigan game from the previous year. And every week during
(11:09):
the season we had a practice that Monday or so
that was Michigan week, or we had a Michigan period.
So you're constantly thinking about those guys heading up to
the game.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Sports broadcaster Joel Klatt was on with Klay Travis earlier.
He called this the Ohio State Michigan rivalry the largest
in sports. He said NFL college football clearly all of
that said that it is absolutely the most historical and
special rivalry that exists, and I thought, wow, that is
(11:40):
saying something.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We feel that way because we live here as far
as people listening and most people that are from here
and so on, we get it. But when you hear
somebody say that like him, it really kind of it
really drives it home for a lot of people. But
OSU twenty one point favorites Roy twenty one point favorites.
Do they cover that easily? Do they cover it at all?
(12:02):
Or is that that close?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No? I think they cover. I don't know if it'll
be easy. I think it'll be a close game in
the first first quarter and a half. As the teams
fell each other out. Michigan's gonna come out and try
and run the football. They may even try some wacky
formations and that sort of thing. They can't really they
don't have explosive plays like that outside of the in the
running game. They don't have any receiver threats on the
outside that are big time balls that we have to
(12:26):
worry about. So we're going to pack the box and
try and take away that run. But it's going to
be a dogfight early on. Tempers are going to be playing.
They might even try and start some stuff. He's try
and get somebody ejected because they don't have the talent
to compete this particular year. So I think we'll cover.
I think it's a great rivalry, d best in the world.
I think coming in the close second is whether or
(12:47):
not sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie is better for things?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Give I love it? You got a thought on that chance?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If I had to go with one or the other, yeah,
I would go with the sweet potato pie. But it
is they taste very, very similar, But the sweet potato
pie generally has a little more oil to it. It's
just got to, i don't know, a little smoother texture.
As far as the feeling.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Is it tough for you to call Roy which one's better.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, I'm just gonna use his same voice and say
it the same way that I'm gonna go with the
sweet potato pie, because the sweet potato pie is what
black people like to eat more than a pumpkin pie.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Man, you don't see me out there running three miles
a morning. Why are you gonna try to take my voice?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You do your thing, I do mine.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I just like the way you sound, So I just
want to take go bucks in your voice, because you
got that awesome voice, and not just anything that you
say just sounds so awesome. Your raised just because of
your voice.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I find it hard to believe I'm sit here listening
Roy eats these carbs, because I mean I look at
him when.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Man, he talks about fish and McDonald's, and you look
at h me.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He looks like he's playing on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Can suit up Saturday?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh yeah too? Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I don't. I don't believe he eats all these carbs.
He just smells them and remembers.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I guarantee you ever shows up in his house when
they're bringing uber eats and he's like, hey man, did
you do it? They're like no, no, no, no, mister Hall,
I didn't do anything to your food.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I promise, Hey, fellas, It's just portion control. That's all
it is. You know what I mean? Yeah, you get
a slice the piece and slice the pizza in half
and then you still got too. But it's really one
you know, it's just portion control.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I love it. I love it. Roy hall will be
listening you guys.

mac and cheese because there's a difference between like black
mac and cheese and white mac and cheese. You know,
when you start putting like vegetables in your mac and
cheese or putting cereal on top of it, that's the
whole situation. So I love to be able to eat
food that I can criticize. You like cold or hot
potato salad. Those are good discussion man, the.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Mac and cheese is good enough on its own and simplistic.
You need to just put good ingredients in. Don't try
to change it. It's the Mona Lisa. If you will,
you can't touch up the Mona Lisa mac and cheese.
Just use good ingredients and you don't need to do
anything else.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You really really don't. So that's where I kind of
come down on that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Brother. Here's the thing, though, brother, like this week, because
I put on a miniature list last night at Bucks
Line Live, which was absolutely awesome, that there are certain
things that you can't do during Michigan Week. And it
was a couple couple of situations, but one of them
that I purposely didn't include was eating mac and cheese,
like the yellow of the mac and cheese, unless you're
(06:26):
using like white cheese or some type of Hamardi or something,
you know, Like you know, I really think that, like
the yellow, I gotta be able to eat my mac
and cheese, even though I'm avoiding. By the way, you
sent me some yellow emojis with a yellow Please stop
sending me to bart Sinson emoji bro. Like you, they
have emojis with your skin complexion. Blade's like, why are
(06:47):
you sending me yellow like the lazy yellow emojis Michigan
Week number one, You shouldn't be using a number two.
What guys still send the yellow generic emoji when clearly
you can get your own incomplexion.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But to what you were pointing out, I'm driving down
the road dye and laugh and listening to you last
night talking about you cannot have scrambled eggs, you cannot
have American cheese, and you gotta be very hydrated because
your pee can't be that yellow, because if you aren't
hydrated enough, you gotta it's gotta be clear what you're
actually So you said, those are some things during Michigan
(07:24):
Week that absolutely cannot be on the menu, slash in
your life.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So I was dying laughing listen to it was very much.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Don't forget the fact that I said that your kids
don't not supposed to be riding them stupid yellow school buses.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You better figure out way to uber him the school
or something.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So good take us through.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Uh, you had your what you have two pair of
miss the gold pants?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I think I heard that I have I have four pair.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Last night you had to last night.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, so four and I thought it was a crazy
stat that LOGI threw out there that none of these
kids that are gonna be playing Michigan tomorrow none of
them have gold pants.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
None of them, zero, zilch none. And so for you
to think like something like that that has to hurt your.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Heart, Roy Man is awful. But here's the thing. They
gonna get a pair on this Saturday. I'm telling you
right now, there is no way. When I say no way,
there is no way possible that Ohio State's gonna lose
the football game this weekend. There's nothing. I mean, here's
the thing. I respect the rivalry, blade, I respect everything
(08:31):
that's going on. I respect the other team up nor
because you have to, because of the history, because of
the tradition. But on this particular weekend, we are not
losing this football game. So I'm so excited ahead of
time that these guys in that locker room get a
pair of gold pants. What's really crazy is the likes
of someone like Will Howard, who just transferred in from
Kansas State, who knows what they given a rivalry gains.
(08:53):
I don't even know if Kansas State has a rival
who knows that. I don't even know if that's real
football in the Big twelve. I don't know what conference
they are in right now, but you get it. Will
Howard transferring in, and then you got CJ. Strou who's
one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever come through here,
who probably will will get a pair of gold pants
if you know, all things going like the right way,
(09:14):
and CJ. Stroud has zero which is unbelievable to me.
But those guys in that locker room deserve it. They've
been playing well. The one loss to Oregon kind of
put us down a little bit, but we've been rolling
ever since. Man, So I'm extremely excited to get these
guys something to put on their neck. Week.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It is very very special what's happening with the Buckeyes
this week. And nobody has to tell coach Day what
all you know needs to happen, but it is looking
like everything's pointing in the direction that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
As far as this week for the players.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You've been through this several times and I know you're
probably you've been asked so many times about this, but
what the players go through, Yeah, it is beat Michigan week,
but It's something you think about from the very beginning
of the season. It's probably something you think about as
you're working out off season. It's something then you constantly
think about as an Ohio State Buckeye, isn't it Well.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You constantly think about it because you constantly see it
even before you become a real buck Eye. I mean,
the Ohio State Michigan rivalry goes back and that tradition.
I mean you're talking about years and years and years.
So whether you're in the South or you're on the
West Coast, when those games come on on rivalry weekend,
Ohio State Michigan is always up there. When they start
ranking the best rivalries in sports, Ohio State Michigan generally
(10:26):
is in that top two or three. And so, like
you hear about it even before you become a buck Eye.
But once you're on campus, once you're getting recruited, once
you committed to the Ohio State University, you immediately get
baptized into the hatred that you have for that team
up north. Again, you respect them because you have to
respect your adversary. But there's a yin and the yang
(10:48):
and those guys are up there hating us and we're
down here hating them. The problem is they're on the
three game winning streak, and so this is that opportunity
for us to put things and write the ship at
so to speak. But you're always thinking about when I
was with Trust, we would in the spring every week
we would watch a week or a quarter of the
Michigan game from the previous year. And every week during
(11:09):
the season we had a practice that Monday or so
that was Michigan week, or we had a Michigan period.
So you're constantly thinking about those guys heading up to
the game.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Sports broadcaster Joel Klatt was on with Klay Travis earlier.
He called this the Ohio State Michigan rivalry the largest
in sports. He said NFL college football clearly all of
that said that it is absolutely the most historical and
special rivalry that exists, and I thought, wow, that is
(11:40):
saying something.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We feel that way because we live here as far
as people listening and most people that are from here
and so on, we get it. But when you hear
somebody say that like him, it really kind of it
really drives it home for a lot of people. But
OSU twenty one point favorites Roy twenty one point favorites.
Do they cover that easily? Do they cover it at all?
(12:02):
Or is that that close?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No? I think they cover. I don't know if it'll
be easy. I think it'll be a close game in
the first first quarter and a half. As the teams
fell each other out. Michigan's gonna come out and try
and run the football. They may even try some wacky
formations and that sort of thing. They can't really they
don't have explosive plays like that outside of the in the
running game. They don't have any receiver threats on the
outside that are big time balls that we have to
(12:26):
worry about. So we're going to pack the box and
try and take away that run. But it's going to
be a dogfight early on. Tempers are going to be playing.
They might even try and start some stuff. He's try
and get somebody ejected because they don't have the talent
to compete this particular year. So I think we'll cover.
I think it's a great rivalry, d best in the world.
I think coming in the close second is whether or
(12:47):
not sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie is better for things?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Give I love it? You got a thought on that chance?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If I had to go with one or the other, yeah,
I would go with the sweet potato pie. But it
is they taste very, very similar, But the sweet potato
pie generally has a little more oil to it. It's
just got to, i don't know, a little smoother texture.
As far as the feeling.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Is it tough for you to call Roy which one's better.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, I'm just gonna use his same voice and say
it the same way that I'm gonna go with the
sweet potato pie, because the sweet potato pie is what
black people like to eat more than a pumpkin pie.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Man, you don't see me out there running three miles
a morning. Why are you gonna try to take my voice?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You do your thing, I do mine.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I just like the way you sound, So I just
want to take go bucks in your voice, because you
got that awesome voice, and not just anything that you
say just sounds so awesome. Your raised just because of
your voice.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I find it hard to believe I'm sit here listening
Roy eats these carbs, because I mean I look at
him when.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Man, he talks about fish and McDonald's, and you look
at h me.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He looks like he's playing on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Can suit up Saturday?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh yeah too? Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I don't. I don't believe he eats all these carbs.
He just smells them and remembers.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I guarantee you ever shows up in his house when
they're bringing uber eats and he's like, hey man, did
you do it? They're like no, no, no, no, mister Hall,
I didn't do anything to your food.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I promise, Hey, fellas, It's just portion control. That's all
it is. You know what I mean? Yeah, you get
a slice the piece and slice the pizza in half
and then you still got too. But it's really one
you know, it's just portion control.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I love it. I love it. Roy hall will be
listening you guys.
