No I was not I was not stiring at all I was just like I need to do this I need to do this but I you know it’s it’s not that was not stirring I’m just kidding man come on I wouldn’t laying ground work never done this here’s how we’re

With me which the fish better watch out but we’ll still do it man we’ll still do it we’ll just find the time and and do the digital but being in person is great you know and and that the that the the coincidences are so crazy you know like having Ryan Anderson on and
You know I I’d met him at a comedy show I know his agent you know his agents his friends with some of my friends like you know Small World stuff there you go and then we meet in Atlanta yeah yeah yeah you and me in Atlanta yeah and then and
Then shank you know like I’ve always admired shank like from that that point of view where I just love people that look look I I’m a huge Muhammad Ali fan you know I love John Lenin I like people that just say what they think man I
Don’t even always it’s not that I have to agree with what they’re saying yeah um I just like people that are genuinely who they are you know I do too yeah that’s what I’m saying like I just like those kind of people yeah if you sit
Down with somebody and talk to them and you feel like you’re talking to a genuine person then I I mean again I there’s very few things that are going to make me not like you I mean you’d have to say some pretty ridiculous hateful stuff right intelligence with you know I I had
I told you I was a political science major at Alabama and we had um I had a guy named Dr alac coffee and look I’ll be honest man I’m a pretty conservative guy with a lot of stuff probably more um uh you know what’s that now that I’m thinking of the word
Um but when it comes to like just I just think everybody’s uh has the right to their own opinion right oh yeah and and we would get into these classes and it was like political psychology and sociology and we would like disagree on a lot of the principles of the stuff
That we agreed on you know he was really like Progressive but there was an environment of um openness and appreciation like if you could get up and Tangle with him which he was tough to tangle with and I’ve probably said this before on the podcast like 40 page papers yeah you
Know one of my best friends uh Kelvin who we became best friends through that class you know we we would just get in there and instead of it being like a toxic debate it would be a fun debate you know yeah we laugh cut up you know
Turn the class into that you know um that type of environment that’s what I want hear man I I like it when people come in with a difference of opinion and and can talk about it and then tell you why and then listen to what you think
You know that’s kind of what you hope for whether it’s in sports that’s a normal person to me I mean you know have a have a good good conversation honest debate man not fun to agree on everything yeah I know you know but some people but in this day and age it’s hard
To find that sickening you know what I mean like it’s hard to kind of get to that point where it’s like man I don’t well social media as we’ve seen this week is also you know yeah I always have you seen that key and peel uh skit where the where his two buddies
Texting a a Ron no that’s not love that one I love that one but his two buddies texting and like like it’s a normal conversation but then a guy sends a one of the Buddies I think it’s Peele who’s texting the He he’ll text something and then key is like getting
Angry I know I haven’t seen he’s like you know he’s getting oh you gota watch it he get more and more pissed by every text and the guy walks in he’s like hey buddy and he starts explaining the text and he’s like oh you didn’t that’s not
What you meant that’s not what you and he’s like by the end he’s got an axe in his hand and he puts it down I mean communication through text is about the worst the worst form of communication you take things the wrong way dude I had one like that last year
He like texting with one of the partners that we have on the football show and uh you know we’re kind of going back and forth but I just thought we were having a debate and i’ just get this text like we’re not going to do anything with you
I’m like what pick up the phone same thing man I’m like well I I don’t know what you thought the conversation was but obviously it’s not what I’m thinking it is we need to get on the same page you and uh and and just know like whatever you think I’m thinking isn’t
What I’m thinking yeah but that’s that’s kind of also like the text part of it you know I’m not the best texter um a lot and you know who voice texts you know I got a buddy that a psychologist in Athens Georgia and I get his text and
They’re like a page long like I’m like man that’s a lot of words to read right now yeah you know what I mean like you get those and you’re like this is a lot of [ __ ] to read that’s right like I’m trying to watch you know my favorite show on Cinemax
And or Max now it’s called Max just you know that that 10 minutes that I get where I’m not working you know like look what is this too much texting is bad texting H you got there’s a there’s a middle middle Road in there I’ve got a lot of unread
Text oh man you get you get one of those texts it’s kind of like uh now with the voicemail yeah you know you click on it and you can re it types out what’s s yeah yeah I love that and sometimes I’ll just look at a text and the small box on
The home screen and it you know it doesn’t finish all the way I’m like oh that’s not something I want to read no no the they get involved in yeah yeah well the the the new text like where you can read as people are butting their
Voicemail down you know that and you can answer so I’m like famous for doing like voices or Impressions or you know pretending I’m somebody else on certain people’s voice Ms and they’ll pick up right in the middle of like a good prank you know yeah
I’m in the middle of like like uh hello this is Colonel Sanders [Laughter] here he must have been hell back when you could do the Bluff My Call or my text yeah call somebody from oh prank we there was this this this CD that came out called Jerky Boys and it was these
Guys that were pranking and it was the best pranks ever right they ended up I think they went to jail for like the you couldn’t do that right but they did it and they recorded them but back when it was hard to record and they were just
The best I bet they would be funny for you even today I’m sure I’m sure just the best pranks and uh yeah so we used to do that stuff you know now you I don’t even know if you can do it now because they just can tell and then then
Then there’s like some kind of way to to track you down even if they you don’t have your name on it you know oh yeah that A lot’s changed when it comes to that it’s hard to get away with crimes these days like yeah the world
Gets less and less fun as the good bye yeah yeah so so anyway yeah so if you guys I’m sure you guys know I mean but I I got to talk about it yeah I got to talk about it and I and I in a way I
Want to talk about it and in another way I don’t want to talk about it but I feel like we do have to address this because that’s what this show is about man and uh so we had shank in here on Monday great one of the best episodes we gave
You guys two almost three hours of content you know the cash the cash too oh yeah the Casher story was making me laugh like shank giv the Insight on all you know his expertise you know and um and one of the things we talked about on
There was uh the way that shank and I both felt about the uh Kaden Proctor situation because shank put a tweet out I actually did a whole show on the tweet and I felt like that Kaden Proctor who had kind of an impromptu interview at basketball game and was like well you
Know the Iowa coaches reached out to me when I wasn’t doing well in the SEC and you know and he said something like that’s why I went to Iowa and um and people said that’s tampering because it’s tampering that’s why now Greg maroy who does a show in Birmingham uh
Disagreed with shank and I want to get into that in a second but here here was my point this is why I agreed with shank shank you know don’t even know what his point was I can’t remember what he said but I’ll tell you the way I looked at it
Right is you gotta you and your girlfriend are having trouble right and then all of a sudden here’s this other guy over here that’s like you know he’s the counselor and then all of a sudden they’re dating you know you’re she’s your ex-girlfriend and now she’s dating
Him like Iowa’s coaches got exactly what they were looking for the GU she said was harmless yeah yeah yeah he just a friend the whole about I don’t even like him you know what I mean and so that’s that was my point and and Greg’s kind of
Been on the other end of that and um and he’s got a show in Birmingham and and he’s got uh you know and he’s one of the top ESPN analysts and he’s a former quarterback and no offense to to you Jake but that 09 team I’ve told you that
It’s my favorite team and it’s because I went through all those years of losing you know and then went out there and followed that team like years of ass kickings and then to go and return the favor that was the first time when you
Guys did it it was a great I had a great time there too uh but you know that that season was just like I couldn’t believe it you know like I couldn’t believe it like the way that he played against Florida that game that he had matched up against TBO still I think
One of the best performances of a quarterback the the the one hop down the sideline the pass to Preston dial you know the the team effort because that’s still that 2009 matchup between Alabama and Florida still to me might be the greatest game that Alabama ever played yeah that was the
The game that put Alabama on the map but think about the teams think about the coaches think about like when you’re trying to be there’s a I mean you know you ever heard of a guy named Ric Flair he’s like a is he a six is he a 16-time
Champion and what does he say to be the man you gotta beat the man and for Alabama to be the man again they had to beat the man and they beat the man oh yeah and they beat him on a big stage and that was to me that was the real
Championship game that those were the two best teams and and Alabama lost that game the year before and I was there as a fan not as a not as a worker just as a just as a guy in the section ra you know shaking shakers drunk on Bourbon okay
And then and then in ‘ 09 like uh that game that game means a lot to me my best friend came down and went to the game with me for the first time ever you know like it just was just it was just the entire experience the way he played I
That whole team and then you know then eventually you know I I’ve gotten to be you know great friends with Baron Huber and Mike Johnson from doing broadcasting a lot of their friends that were on the the team I know and uh it’s special to
Me man I mean I just it is so with all of that said um was it I don’t know even what day it was Wednesday all of a sudden like my phone starts like lighting up you know all the ton you yeah you know what
I mean like I’m I’m out you know I’m doing my walk and it’s like it’s an hour and a half walk and I’m like on the phone with this guy and I’m like man I’m GNA to get off this call yeah and then and basically um Greg just nuked uh
Shank and I’m like what you know people I got it sent to me a couple times but you know it’s like the same thing with you I’m I’m on the phone doing something else I was like okay I’ll get to this and then finally I was like I gotta get to this you
Know and um you know and I listened to that to to that you know basically just Greg kind of like and I’m sure everybody’s probably heard it you know I’m not we’re not going to play it we talked about it you guys have heard it
Probably and he just came off to me like bad you know and and I and I it’s not look this guy and I’m gonna say some good things about Greg and I’m G tell you guys I did a whole video that you can watch on my my site like kind of
Just addressing it in my opinion and I I definitely want to hear what you you think Jake too but I um of just gave him some advice and I hope he takes it man he probably doesn’t care what I think but because on one hand doing that kind of
Stuff’s wrong right and he crossed the line but on the other hand you’re talking about a guy that has dominated in the business I’ve spent my whole life in yeah I mean this guy it’s not like you’re talking about and I know like from the comments like Greg’s pissed off
A lot of people there’s a few there it’s probably 80 855 you know like there’s some people that are really really strong for Greg and then but it shouldn’t be like that first off secondly is is that this guys man he’s killing it man like he has no reason to
Be upset about anything he’s on the biggest games on college football I think he does a great job as uh you know a broadcaster on on the call he he’s got Insight he uh he’s on the you know a huge Radio Show in the state and uh he’s
On there with Cole cuck a lot of people like that show you know people tell me hey man I like I like to listen to Greg and when it comes to like the X’s and O’s of like football like explaining like what the hell’s going on for a guy
Like me that you know has covered it but I haven’t been in the Huddle like you um those guys do a great job of that right like they’re they’re the top of the that’re they do as good as you can do you know you’re talking about two great
Analysts right one like Cole cubic I think even though he’s an Auburn guy and I hate to give Auburn people credit but uh I like him a lot like Cole lot not a lie like he he um seems like a guy that you’d really want to hang out with and
Then um and have a beer with and so so I have a lot of respect for what Greg’s accomplished in his career and I and and it’s you know even better than what I’ve done you know wanting to kind of have like some of the same the same
Path with that said like you know the things that you say when you get on a platform and you have the uh the you know kind of the respect of the people The Voice like he has like and um he right now and I know Mark Ingram’s kind
Of coming in there now too where he’s starting to become like a person that people see but Mark um Greg’s the number one guy you know and it’s like you you make a comment about shank being lazy um that’s going to stick with him for a long time you know and that’s kind
Of why I I did the video but at the same same time you know like don’t think that I would that I don’t appreciate like what he’s accomplished and and how good he is at some of the things that he does he’s just gota that when you do this for a
Living you’re on here think about we just get together twice a week think of every day you didn’t you know maybe you know you had a you know a bad day man you got a flat tire you know credit card bill and then you take that you take
That [ __ ] on the air and it’s you say stuff that you you look back and you’re like man and he apologized too oh yeah well I mean look I I he’s admitted I mean he’s he’s obviously wrong you know uh I think when you get caught up his
Job is is Radio like you said and that’s his every day you get caught up in it and I think sometimes look I haven’t been in that position I’m not in radio I mean you again we do this podcast twice a week and this is my first my first
Jump in the media right um you know done a lot of interviews but at the same time I’m pretty pretty conservative when I hop on the radio uh outside of making a few jokes that make people cringe but well I want to make some jokes but I
Don’t want him to get mad at me but I can I say this are are you cool if he we invite him down anytime he wants to come on the show Greg yeah love to have him on I don’t think he’d accept that that inite but the invitees there
Man that’ be great I don’t know Greg at all never met him I’ve uh you know I think we’ve shaken hands twice and said hello and that’s about it um I I haven’t heard anything bad about him I mean just uh I I’ve known shank a long time I know
Who he is I know the kind of guy he is and he’s a great guy and when we were on the field together I knew that just like like I would I mean we would have sacrificed our bodies and done whatever we could to to make each other
Successful uh so it’s hard to hear somebody say something like that about a person that you care about that much on a on a personal level um so you didn’t think he was lazy no I didn’t think he was lazy I mean you I think I think we all have bad
Days here and there especially when it’s 100 degrees and you’re 320 lbs yeah right hey you know who’s going to have a some days where they’re going to be hot this coach toor he doesn’t realize like the heat that’s coming you know what I mean like it’s
Coming bro you better get ready for the heat you know you’re out of Seattle or up in you know sou Falls or you’re in Fresno California these are all pretty pretty tame environments man it’s hot as hell gonna be tough for him you
Know oh man no but you know again I I I love shank to death I I don’t know if it was evident to our viewers you know that of this podcast I mean we spent time with each other obviously uh I love him to death I think
He feels the same I know we both have a lot respect for each other and and you got to remember that uh I mean Shanks I didn’t like the the using Alabama uh comment I mean if anybody’s not using shank could have played anywhere and had some football experience and
And uh he knows football he has the credentials to be to coach at any level at some point um I think he’s starting out in high school and he’s doing a hell of a job uh but there’s nothing that he benefits from monetarily from playing at Alabama
Yeah uh he’s coaching kids and his role in coaching kids I would say I mean I I put teachers First Responders uh all those guys that sacrifice at a lot and are not compensated enough uh I I I respect those professions more than than you could imagine my dad was a
Firefighter uh I mean you know that’s really that’s really putting yourself out there and you’re not you’re not getting compensated the way that you that you should and you affect and influence uh kids and and really shape the future of of our societies know and I look back
On on the teachers that I had in high school uh teachers now I mean those good teachers there good coaches uh you know they really have an effect on on you growing up and how you react to things and how you manage life moving forward and yeah good point
Uh I I I could not thank my coaches enough coach Perry my head coach at St Paul’s I may I name all my teachers and coaches but um it takes a special person to dedicate that kind of time to and love to kids that aren’t your own yeah
You know I think that the whole comment was and and I love good radio I love listening to good radio but at the end the day that doesn’t mean [ __ ] in comparison to a coach or a teacher oh yeah dude you know of course I mean I I think about it
All the time how i’ love at some point to be a coach and and try to help kids at some point because I think it’s more important than than what I do a lot of times I mean I think it’s it’s more you’re contributing more to society
Doing that you know yeah and giving those kids a better path with good advice and I mean I’m not saying I’m some be coach coer I’m ready for this but no I mean you sending a message to coach dor right now I’m just kidding I don’t want any
Part of that no no look I hear you’re you’re exactly right man you know but uh I don’t know it just Shanks Shanks he’s doing a hell of a job with what he’s doing and he’s affecting a lot of kids in a positive way and I when I first saw that comment it
Really pissed me off yeah you know and I think Greg looking back at it he’s probably pissed at himself yeah I think he is you know and I don’t think it’s an indictment on his character I think he’s just having a bad day yeah you know
That’s that and that’s kind of what I was saying too you know like yeah I know like on my video I got on them pretty good good but I also felt like when you’re that high I I let me go back to this I I told
You this before I spent this one of the things I did this summer was I was around I I got the MCN event with Daryl strawberry and and and Daryl I I just went I mean I’m just like the guys’s like all right and here’s John matters
He’s the president of the you know and then he comes up and yeah you know and then and then you know whatever and then Daryl strawberry comes up and I’m like I’m thinking like I don’t really I remember him I mean I remember being in my backyard and trying to emulate the
Swing and I remember collecting his baseball cards you know and I remember him getting arrested but I don’t know anything about him right yeah and he gets up and he starts talking and it’s like a whole thing about his life and about who he was as a player and and and
Kind of you know basically giving his life to God and and and you know his story right yeah but by the time I left man I was like God he just like caught me you know and the the thing that he talked a lot about was was was Grace you know the the
The ability to forgive somebody that had the people that you care the most about because they’re the ones that when something happens and you know you it’s really hard to forgive them but that’s what God gave all of us like the Forgiveness you like that’s what it’s crazy when you don’t deserve something
That you get right and you know kind of how this this relates is like he he was talking about how when he was like uh on the Mets and he’s just like his mom was like praying that he’d get knocked off of his Ivory Tower because he kind of lost his way understanding
Like what was really important you know and when I heard those comments you know it it felt like to me here’s a guy who we all like admire because he represents us because maybe he doesn’t feel like he always gets to credit for being part of the Alabama
Community but that’s in his head because we all like respect the [ __ ] out of him oh for sure you know you know what I’m saying we we we look at him and it’s like you see him on a game or he’s somewhere like man you represent Alabama
Man and you do a good job of it right but those comments really felt like a guy who’s lost and and and needs to take a step back and and be proud of the who he is what he’s accomplished and at the same time like appreciate that there’s other
People out there who maybe haven’t had the success maybe haven’t had the breaks maybe didn’t grow up in that same environment have the same family and and appreciate the fact that people can have a separate a different opinion than you and that doesn’t me make them a mortal
Enemy that just means that you just disagree on a topic right yeah and sometimes people like that need to get knocked off the tower I mean that’s how it felt but does that mean I want Greg to get fired does that mean I I no man I I want the guy to
Be the best person that he can be and comments like that even when you go and apologize that ain’t going away yeah there’s going to be somebody that sees that comment that shank coach shank is dealing with there’s going to be somebody that sees that and well you
Didn’t know because you weren’t there but you said that that guy’s lazy and now that’s that’s the narrative nobody does that to you and there’s people that have an opinion about all of us and don’t like us yeah you know and you know what [ __ ]
Them you know what I mean is that a fair thing so I I I I certainly think that he was very genuine with his apology and I hope that for his sake and for everybody for his sake and his career sake and and and what he means to
Alabama I hope he realizes that you can’t do that [ __ ] anymore and and learn from it and and make be a better person for it and look if he drinks scotch I’ll get the best scotch that I can get to have him on the show he want some beer
We got beer but he’s welcome here man even though he probably hates my guts for calling him out my thought is uh I mean I you know you want to be successful and you want to have you know the platforms the money that that’s that’s you want to stay relevant
That’s that’s that’s great and all but I’m joking I care less honestly I’ve done I’ve worked pretty hard at trying to be you’ve been the officer irrelevant I mean you you you you’re not comfortable in in the in the public eye why is that uh I wouldn’t say I’m uncomfortable with
It I just I don’t like the attention I I mean again I’ve got my own lane I my what I think’s important is is friends and family and and I don’t I canot stand I mean we do this because we have fun with it right yeah and if this show
Were to get big that be great but I wouldn’t be doing anything different and I don’t I can’t stand social media I don’t I know I’m trying to tell you to tweet more we get more viewers I know I know I just you know it’s like Instagram
I don’t like people see I don’t want people knowing what I’m doing all the time except if you shoot a huge Buck yeah that that is going up on thinking me it’s come here baby but it’s been about a month and a half since I killed that thing I still hadn’t
Got around to doing it oh you haven’t no I figured you’d have that up there’s a big dude I know I will but again I’m just so is his head going on your wall oh yeah oh yeah proud of that one yeah he was sent to the taxid derous the day
After uh but where was I I’m sorry to interrupt you what’s his name man I’m just kidding I just leave me I’m Inna I’m gonna mute my microphone I’m gonna mute my microphone right now h no what I mean no what I now what I was saying was like you know
The the platform whatever platform it is that’s great however much money you make that’s great too but nobody really gives a [ __ ] unless you’re pulling the people up around you yeah man that’s the truth shank’s an Alabama graduate uh you know I feel like we’re all supposed to stick together I I you
Know I don’t know some guys from different teams but um you know I still if I was if somebody reached out to me needing help that graduated from Alabama I’d help them just because I we kind of shared in the same Brotherhood but uh you know again I’m I’m in a business
Where you know sometimes I talk to people that that do really well sometimes sometimes they’re really great people and I’m like [ __ ] this guy gets it man he’s he is has done really well he he treats people with respect he still acts like a small guy you know I
Mean uh just cares for people and and does the right thing all the time I mean that’s the kind of guy you want to you know you love you love that he’s doing well and and just want to help in any way man I love this story dude him
Saying like first off like I’m like why do I like this guy so much and the first thing he’s like you know what man I was a band kid and I get it you know yeah he’s he he’s his own guy yeah he’s not it’s not like he’s like one of these
Guys who was just like like me that everything’s always been about sports everything I mean I I go to bed and wake up about sports it’s hard for me to get my mind off of it whether it’s baseball or football or whatever I’m into and
Then and and then you know he’s like I I like being in the band I was in the band he’s like a band kid that just has a big giant body strong dude you know yeah like and you know how it is like everybody at all the football coaches
Are like hey do you see that trombone player we got to get him on the offensive line you know you know like he’s just those High School coaches yeah that’s how they do it right yeah yeah I was in I was in lunch duty and I
Saw I saw El farts and he was we could use him on the line you know you know what I mean like they’re scouting in the lunchroom you know all he wants to do is just play in the band yeah I I I I honestly um I
Loved all those stories man I kept thinking about load management you know like like being out there being that big and that was telling you before like I was telling you before this podcast started I mean I sit here and talk about hot it was at practice
And and I’m sitting there stretching 99 degrees and I’m bitching about you know uh how hot it is and I realize I’m in a freaking black Jersey you guys that weigh outweigh Me by 100 pounds bitting every play I’m like God I’m So Soft yeah
Right you know I get to stand back there and not get hit uh and shank I mean you saw how big he was he’s one of the biggest humans I’ve ever seen yeah you know uh good Lord two of days being that big just I mean hammering away every
Yeah 30 seconds I’m telling he was talking about smoking somebody at practice and then them getting mad Ruben Foster it’s like he’s like okay shank okay shank oh man sh’s like oh [ __ ] yeah yeah now I gotta deal with [Laughter] this oh man I he was so funny I can’t
Wait to get to get him back in here with with uh Ryan Anderson yeah yeah that that would be awesome yeah sometime I mean like just that’s another thing you know I I hadn’t been able to you know we’re so busy I know I hadn’t been able to uh spend a ton of
Time with Ryan and then he gets to yeah we set this up and he’s coming to hang out and and it’s you know just Reminiscing on those memories and seeing these guys I mean that’s that’s what I enjoy so much about it yeah me too I like Ryan a lot too man
Just a just such a really funny dude and uh he just has such a presence you guys know that you watch the show I mean it’s like it but it’s fun honestly I like doing shows with you I like doing shows with them like I have a fun it’s a
Different show no matter who’s on you know yeah like we could we cut football guys tend to be a little bit different I feel like you spend so much time in a locker room heck you’re every day after practices a podcast just not recording I know you know who’s the funniest guy you
Played with oh uh Keith weeks red he was a but he was a Florida State guy uh you know you know Michael N W you know the funniest guys that you play with often times are are the guys that walk on yeah yeah and end up getting scholarships and and the
Reason why to me is just because they have such a positive attitude all the time right like they’re they love it there so much they willing to eat [ __ ] for years yeah in order to get a scholarship for just one or two years and I say just one or two years I Manan
That’s a you know just that that’s a big deal in itself right right but guys with that kind of attitude I mean if I were to ever if I if I were running a company just based on what I know i’ just look around at all the
Schools and see who got a who was a walk- on and who got a scholarship and try to hire all those guys because they’re they’re going to bring the the company morale up big time right and they’re gonna be able to they’re goingon to be able to sell stuff too I mean yeah
I mean nice Wonder red uh Danny Adams was another one Barrett Kernan bunch of bunch of walk-on guys that that worked their ass off and played and uh just were there every day loved it yeah I got a call from one of my one of my fraternity Brothers the
Other day and he was talking about a couple of our guys that Parker Baron I yeah that were Walk-Ons back in our day you know 99 yeah I remember those guys being at like the dinner table and they take their shirts off and I said you
Know that’s when I realized walk on AKA tackling dummy you talk about it black and blue man yeah you gotta be tough to do that oh yeah oh yeah and I’m not saying that to disparage I’m just saying like that is a tough role oh yeah uh I mean
Red and red played for uh coach tricket too and man that’s a you talk about that’s the toughest coach I’ve ever been around yeah I mean offensive lineman at Florida State I remember and then was he West Virginia before that uh yes yeah big yeah when
That was he’s been at Auburn he’s been at West Virginia Florida State uh he’s been around I think he was there wasn’t he there when West Virginia could have made the national championship game The Undefeated year yeah yeah maybe lost they lost the last game to pit or
Something did Pat MFE miss that field goal maybe was that the I don’t know was it Pat not not the Pat McAfee I think so yeah really I think so wow man I don’t know this say that I mean I’m not yeah yeah I I feel like I remember him saying
That I just remember what Like That season Like Pat White I think was a quarterback right you’re right because I remember because Pat Mathew’s talked about coach tricket before and and and they had an offensive line that was just beating people’s ass and they they they
Were one of the first teams that ran the sprad was considered the best o line best in the country Y and they they were one of the first teams that like ran the spread R ran it like we we know it now like with Speed game and spread and you know because
Football used to not look like that yeah and then and then they had all they had to do is win one more game and they would have been in the championship yeah best season ever coach trig was one of the funniest was he I mean what he he
Was now he was hard he was hard but he was one of the funniest coaches I’ve ever ever been around uh I can tell you a couple stories but it’s like you know it’s one of those I think I could tell them but I don’t too much yeah this is already a controversial
Show feel like there’s like there’s a heavy weight over us right now now I’m just I’m just I’m honestly trying to stay I’m just trying to stay relevant I’m really kidding if you watch us all the time you know that don’t take anything I say [Laughter]
Seriously man uh coach Tri last I know he was at Jacksonville State uh was he yeah with uh with Rich Rod yeah yeah think of the coaches they I think he I think he I think Rich Rod’s got one more run somewhere yeah I think that I met him
When I was in Arizona when he was the head coach at Arizona he came to the card to some Cardinals meetings seemed like a really nice guy yeah yeah but I met him there he I didn’t ask him about the Alabama hiring process had worked out for all of
Us hey I definitely didn’t tell him that no no did you uh everybody’s been talking about Coach saving um body boarding have you seen the video his daughter put up well man he’s really he’s it’s terrible dove into this this retirement well people know me from you know
Talking about my day surfing and stuff and they’re like you need to give Coach Sav some tips I do need to give him some tips it’s the worst example of being on the waves I’ve ever seen well I mean that just that tells you one thing he had vacation
Bu no but I’m glad he’s out there man I would love tired like learning to walk for him yeah right you know him out there like I’m gonna I was just thinking about like him going out there like try to catch a wave and it’s just awful I
Mean like the form was bad I’d love to coach him up you know like you start at the back of the wave you don’t start in the middle of the wave you know you you come you come from behind the wave you try to get you try to get in it like you
Know you know he’s probably he’s probably all pissed off right now and he’s probably thinking about how he’s going to get better at it yeah or or after like watching that video he’s like why did I retire again he’s not wearing slacks though I’ll give him
That uh but look I’m gonna tell you this right now first off I hope he enjoys he needs to enjoy the rest of his life because when you’re 72 you don’t know how many days you have left and he may live to a 100 and he may not second
Thing is um I like coach dor man I’m watching him he was over at St Paul’s your your old stomping ground he’s he’s hitting this isn’t if the rest of the SEC thinks that this is going to be Brian harson they’re going to find out the Hardway this guy’s he’s he’s got a
Different energy he’s got a different demeanor this guy’s this guy’s a winner man he’s already visiting schools he’s and beat yeah I know I mean but but you can just tell like he’s not here because he wants the money he’s here because he wants to win championships yeah you
Don’t get somebody to replace coach sa when when they got a good thing going uh without them being ready to take on this challenge no he’s probably never had a budget like this to work with the recruit yeah I mean he uh look he’s he’s
Bitten off a lot and I still I mean I don’t know if you were to bring coach saan in right now I don’t think he could replicate with this with the transfer portal and all these other issues niil I don’t think he can come in and replicate
What he’s done in the last 14 years no I just don’t think these rules it’s well there are no rules you know you’re probably right I I I saw where uh Old Miss is like just spending a ton of money right now well they’re they’re getting a lot of guys in the transfer
Portal aren’t they yeah now they a they’re not spending what what Ohio State spent but they just got two guys off of the Washington offensive line yeah they got a they got a running back too right did they I think they I think they uh got somebody to replace
Judkins uh from from Washington maybe maybe I I I probably should know that but I’m normally focused on what we’re doing but I I mean you can’t not pay attention to it you know like they got pretty close last year so much there’s so much going
On now it’s hard to it’s hard to keep up with all the moving Parts yeah well money’s a big part of it too man I mean like you know if you got boosters that are um you know willing to pay you then um you know
Well Ryan day I mean now that that kind of backing I mean and and this I’m not this is what I know this is what Jimbo got so mad about was I mean I don’t think he did anything illegal and I don’t think that’s what coach Daman ever
Said uh I think he just got mad because it seemed like it was so easy because he had a money backing yeah right well it didn’t turn out too good though well yeah and that’s and look that that’s what you’re going to have to the these coaches are going to have to
Figure out how you know just just because you got talent doesn’t mean these guys are going to play up to it you’ve never really had guys that are rich playing football I mean you did but normally they were always from Rich families you know now you’re giving
People that grew up like me a bunch of money you know how motivated are you going to be you know if you would have given me like a million dollars or you know $500,000 in college I don’t know how I would have acted with it well I
Mean coach saens always said it’s you know the the team the teams that have a lot of guys on it that are that are humble and aggressive in their approach to getting better and winning or his favorite team as a coach and man that’s what we got this year you know I mean
There’s there’s a couple guys that I mean Jaylen milro deservedly so yeah should make money because of what he’s done for oh yeah yeah yeah right that’s what it was supposed to be though but but that’s the kind of guy that deserves to me the nil money right the guy with that
Kind of loyalty let’s figure out how to get him some money you know yeah uh those are those are leaders you want around uh and then the rest of the guys we’re going to have a bunch of guys that you know we’re not going to have the Caleb DS’s uh you
Know the other bigname guys but they’re going to be they’re got to fight scratch and Claw to get that that payday right you know and so I honestly it’s kind of cool now this year I mean look I obviously all of us wanted to see coach Sab last few more years but I’m
More than pleased with kayin deor and I’m pretty excited to see a team that’s hungry that’s got a lot to prove in Tuscaloosa yeah right I mean I could have beaten those words and we could go seven and six you know but I don’t I don’t think that’s going to
Happen and it’s it’s going to be fun to watch this brand of football with a bunch of guys that are pissed off about what everybody said about them all all offseason right and and and have let me let me just throw this out there Bam’s gonna be a better coached
Not better recruited better coached and and the there’s a guy that does all this stuff you’re talking about some top these are the top of the top coaches I’d say maybe this year offensively X is defensively gonna be hard to you’re saying it’s gonna be hard to replace those guys it’s
Defensively there’s a guy named Dave bartu who like does this for a living you know what I’m talking about says this is the best like one of the best coaching staff I tend to agree with that man yeah I’m not saying our coach staff is
I’m just saying I mean well sain was all was fixated on recruiting I mean that was what his priority was like he I think that he would his priority was defense but but you know what I’m saying like you could recruit you could be the best ex’s and those coach you know and
All that stuff but you had to recruit first oh yeah well I mean his emphasis one of his his biggest emphasis was on recruiting but I mean this guy also his second biggest emphasis he’s GNA spend more time on that than 99.9% every defense yeah yeah I got you uh I mean I
Would say and and I think he stated this I mean he didn’t get to spend as much time around the offense as yeah and I would I mean he defense was good he was he was on you know when practice was going on unless it was good on good he was on the
Defensive side of the ball just about the whole time yeah now he’d look over and and if we were out of whack and it was pretty obvious he was gonna cuss all of us out you get us on the right in the right state of mind but he’s such a
Genius man oh he’s you know what I’m talking about like just being able to like dissect what’s going on and fix it oh yeah maybe he’s the reason why that they were so good with the adjustments in the second half this year but Chris low told me he said man the toughest
Thing one of the toughest parts of sabin’s job before he retired was coaching the coaches you know and and every year it was like these guys are rotating out retiring leaving getting bought by other teams you know and it was like I think that was one of the reasons why he was
Like man I got I I just can’t do it I’m too old to do all this now you think I mean have Kirby Smart around for what was it 14 15 years I mean he wasn’t in Alabama let’s but whatever he his right-hand man but to have him around
That long and have a guy like that I mean coach smart was one of the most impressive coaches I’ve ever been around yeah bought in and to have a DC like that who was on the same page I mean every step of the way with Coach sa knew
Exactly what he wanted all the time he wasn’t screwing around you know you weren’t you didn’t hear anything crazy about him he was locked in all the time yeah uh he didn’t have an alias is what you’re saying that was the that was the best duo just say I’m just saying like you
Know must have been very must have been strange back you’re on fire this week oh man I know I am thank you thank you I think that’s a compliment Shan I’m sorry guys oh yeah what was it like playing offense against those [Laughter] guys oh there’s going to be bad comments please don’t be too hard on me in the comment oh God just a regular guy over here oh yeah oh yeah I love Savin though man like I I
Just don’t like him as a surfer is that fair to say I bet he he’s got to be a little awkward out there yeah I’d love to see the video though yeah I’ll show you um I bet there’s so much free time he’s just like what the hell am I that’s what
I was about I mean it’s what am I gonna do it’s a completely different life like he he does I guarantee you he’s freaked out right now yeah what about Bill bich the Falcons job did you see that oh man isn’t that weird like maybe we could
Have had him if sa would have stayed think if we would have had those two together oh my gosh you imagine that yeah really what if he was a DC in Alabama or just like he he wouldn’t have been that he’d have been one of those uh
Those analysts yeah yeah but he really would have been like you know he been an analyst but he’d have been the DC yeah yeah right exactly but you guys want to think about this I bet he’d had fun doing it too how about the f I thought
For sure the Falcons would have uh would have hired him just based off of like interest like everybody was like man be great you know I don’t know how you couldn’t hire Bill bich I mean the best considered one of the best of all time I
Mean just to do it just to sell tickets I mean I guess it’s a a longevity thing I don’t know how many years he’s got left but I mean still true in the NFL you only last three years anyway in the NFL it doesn’t really matter it’s not like you’re recruiting people and
Keeping them around no um big some big football games this weekend will you watch the NFL this weekend this is a great weekend of NFL football yeah my my daughter turns four on Sunday oh wow so uh well I’m sure so you’ll celebrate by watching football cutting the cake and watching football
Were you as a as a mobilan were you uh were you offended by the way that those ladies tore up the king cake uh yesterday on that basketball broadcast did you see that see it is it actually like I’m gonna tell you something I watched the game South Carolina against
Uh LSU women’s basketball great game yeah yeah it really was um and and if if if that was the product you know all the time people would watch I mean it was a sell out is great well they need more feuds in oh you got to have them in
Girls college B like the Caitlyn Collins and the against L he’s like the Larry Bird of the of women’s basketball except except the the the collapse on the when they Rush the court a couple nights ago and she fell down wasn’t a good look how about getting the court rushed
For women’s basketball I was that a first yeah I mean it’s I I don’t know I mean hasn’t happened much but that’s good man like th those are you know I wish that Alabama had a team like that you know back back there was a time when Alabama was really good
Um and got to the final four and had some ma massive battles with like teams like Duke yeah and North Carolina and Tennessee and stuff like that and then they’re just so irrelevant and then you watch that and you’re like man this is this is actually pretty cool like man I
Had a blast watching that game Wednesday Alabama Auburn yeah the men’s men’s team you know um I think Nate oats I I don’t think we could get a better Coach man no I think he’s great oh I do to I to only only it scares well
We gotta have I mean we you know we need some some Brandon Millers and you know yeah we don’t have that this year uh but Sears is good though Nelson he bowed up a little bit Griffin’s good yeah yeah right B up they that was a garbage foul
They called on him at the end of the game last on Wednesday I know I know but it made it more interesting yeah that slam had slam had was pretty awesome and then look student section man give me the hard hat you guys getting it done that was cool I mean
Like really it was a great environment did you see that picture of uh and I like Bruce Pearl I’m just gonna tell you I I like Bruce Pearl and I like the Rivalry he’s you can tell that they respect each other if Bruce Pearl’s not
At Auburn we have a shitty team it’s the fact that we’re never going to like just let them take over so we went out and got some and that’s what makes it fun man Alabama basketball is six and three against Bruce per I know and one three
Straight but what but what’s crazy is that the state of Alabama for basketball right now oh yeah and over the last three or four seasons has been the top in the me the SEC used to be the garbage Conference of basketball and now I mean last year the was yep the best
Conference in America I know I know it used to be like ACC Maryland Duke North Carolina wake and the Big East yeah the Big East used to the Big East I remember watch I mean I used to love watching that tournament Georgetown oh yeah Georgetown Yukon yeah
Yukon yeah uh man those Syracuse I man there were some yeah I used to love watching basketball fun games man yeah I I I’m with you on that I I like uh I like the fact that they got their ass kicked by Tennessee and Nate o just
Caught them out you know just you know hey you know what we’re not used to this but I mean we’ll see how these guys respond what do he say we I thought we had a tough team but I guess you know I don’t know if we’re gonna we’ll see how
We respond we’ll find out if we’re the team that rolls over when the tough times come or or if we bow up and and make something happen yeah and I love that Bruce Pearl was making fun of Coleman because I think we need a new
Arena too and uh and then the lights go the lights thing yeah I watched it in I actually watched it in here man I was like it’s a pretty good environment for basketball believe it or not oh yeah you like cigars and beer you like cigars and beer and now we
Got TVs all over the place in here oh that’s what it smells like now do can you smell it I’m kidding you said you couldn’t smell I can’t I’ve said I’m kidding I can’t okay it does smell like that it does this is part of no during
January I mean dy I mean I’m drinking right now just because but I’m just doing it because th this was going to be a very controversial show I just don’t want to be sober for it it hadn’t been controversal I know man we’re we’re saying what you know the
The only thing is that that we love shank I mean I love shank I’ve known shank for so long I mean admired for a long time you know you just hate to you know he feels bad about all that I mean he hadn’t told me that but you know
It just I don’t know that’s it’s it’s like one of those comments it’s like I hate it for both of them be honest too it’s uh it’s one of those you know and Greg said he felt bad he said he didn’t sleep good and I think that you learn from
Sometimes it’s worse to be the guy that started it yeah just because just a weird it was like where did that come from I know you know I thought man did we talk about Greg on here well that’s what yeah like man I don’t I mean look
I’ve talked about them before yeah I’m gonna tell you that we’re talking about some stupid [ __ ] but the reason why is it he’s like if he says something it’s news and and it’s like if he said I mean I’m not talking about this just this but
Anything like you know if he’s got the biggest platform in the state well see I don’t even I don’t like I mean but I’ve never been like said I didn’t like him or anything just like hey this is what Greg maroy said like let’s start a conversation over it you
Know not like you know hey you know I didn’t like this or that I mean he’s not his problem his biggest problem is he’s not relatable and he can fix that because I bet you that there’s a really good guy in there and that he’s just gotta kind of like come down here
Get a scotch with us hang out you know call me out on what I said I’ll take it and we’ll give it back and forth and we’ll have a good time and some laughs and people will see really actually we ought to just us two Greg and shank that’d be great I’d love
That oh my God that’d be hilarious I mean look he is the cter they would I mean if if you did see that them two hanging out and having a good time and you know that’d be fun but you know again they don’t they didn’t I don’t
Think they even knew each other which is the crazy thing but sometimes that’s look man sometimes that’s like think about the biggest Sports Feud of my lifetime was magic and Larry Bird yeah I mean I remember when they didn’t like each other yeah because I’m old yeah I
Know you don’t think that but I am and old enough to remember that and then all a sudden they did a McDonald’s commercial together and they’re friends and then they end up being best friends you know like you know you can man people say opinions are like [ __ ]
Everybody’s got one you know like you heard that before it’s true yeah we all have an opinion you know um sometimes you’re going to be right and sometimes you’re going to be wrong but you know what in this business I you know when you f something up you just
Admit it man laugh at yourself yeah yeah no that’s right I just yeah I mean but it was weird yeah uh uh look at this old glass right here you remember when you talk about the SEC this is vintage got all the old old logos on there well this was from that
Day I got it at an antique store is that the one you left outside of Bryant nny no no there’s a different one now that’s and it wasn’t Brian Denny it was I went with uh skip to the blackout game and we oh it was in Athens yeah it was in
Athens and I left it in one of the shrubs you left it between the hedges yeah in the hedges don’t tell anybody but we stayed out all night and um and we stuck it in there and then two weeks later with the the Ben Ingram the voice of the of the
Atlanta Braves we went back just on another random you know like just to go watch Georgia and Tennessee because I was like this place is incredible it Athens is a fun town yeah I see I I’ve again I’ve we should do that I’ve been once for for the game we
Played in 2015 I remember there my my parents told me and my wife told me it was a freaking nightmare in terms of the way the the fans got after them you know which which means that they’re passionate about football it’s it’s got to be a good time you know people love their
Their school how the hell did they get everybody to wear black like that not not your year but your your year was uh that that they knew better by then I remember that game we did we did our pregame they will never black out for an Alabama game again way no we
We we did because that’s such a running joke now oh yeah I mean that is when you hear blackout all you think is Georgia Alabama 2009 or 2008 whatever year it was yeah I had the Daniel Mo print I gave it to my father-in-law with uh John Parker Wilson and
Julio um yeah no I mean it we we did our show we did our pregame show in your year from uh the Bulldog I don’t know one of the bars there I forget what it’s called but it was cool and it was it was so much fun and then it rained like
Hell oh yeah that you know oh yeah heck it rained yeah I thought it was over by the time the game started John Parker Wilson gave me my ticket really yeah tried to take it back from that’s where my dad met John Parker was it that game
Uh I wonder if he was there when John Parker was trying to take my ticket back from me I was like no that’s probably what yeah John Parker was probably looking for you he was and now the Mike and baron like don’t give him the ticket
Back but I thank you John thank you JP uh I love John Parker he’s great funny dude uh great great athlete man oh yeah his brother’s a great athlete too John par I’ve shared a few beers with John Parker we’ve had a really good time uh he’s he’s just a
Great guy he was so nice to me while I was playing yeah you know uh genuine dude yeah that’s right that’s right very genuine uh yeah what you see is what you get yeah yeah right you know and he’ll have fun with anybody yeah you know it’s so funny watching him
Work room he he cracks me up right yeah uh dad the dad’s great guy too yeah I hadn’t met his dad great guy oh my his whole family is athletic though yeah his little brother played in Alabama his cousin or nephew his cousin I think can’t remember his first name played
Shortstop I think in Alabama two or three years ago turn around and there’s another one there like where they where they coming from oh yeah how are they so good hair’s always perfect yeah right how you doing this you got it all yeah did you watch them when they we’ve talked about this
Before I think the answer is yes right you used to watch the show the two days I don’t think anybody doesn’t know about that show I loved it you know loved it Goose yeah yeah we did talk about this because Goose was at our tailgate I don’t know
If he’s at our tailgate in 09 how did he introduce himself they were like hey have you met Goose I was like I’d love to meet Goose like you know like love Goose like the the he uses he uses two days yeah is it too soon no it’s not oh we made
Our it’s no you know we’re making fun of ourselves don’t mean anything about it I mean it you know it is funny as [ __ ] I mean i’ met him though I mean if I if I if I knew Greg well I’d say some I’d say some [ __ ] like that he needs to
Come down here if I had a if hat us yeah if my I don’t know if he hates I mean I we don’t know each other you know I’m probably on the hate list but come on down Greg you’re serious list this you’re seriously invited I mean that you come down to
Fair hope you got you even can stay at my house I don’t even care don’t get that mad at me no nothing [Laughter] physical like I’ll buy the drink so uh no but uh where were yeah Goose I’m thinking of like of goose I’m thinking and then you say goose and I’m thinking
Of the other goose who was on my Ravens 2000 Super Bowl team and then I was thinking about the Ravens other Super Bowl team and then I was thinking about the Ravens and the Chiefs on Sunday that is a big damn game be again I don’t I
Don’t watch t NFL I’ll be watching that game so I guess I always love the build Chiefs match up all Allen and Ms those two I mean those two are so much fun to watch and Allen I tell you what man Josh Allen that’s the he is the epitome of
How hard it is to be a good quarterback in the NFL I mean the games that he’s played I know man his stats in those games against Kansas City they been great it’s like all World stats and he cannot get a victory it’s like I mean
But it basically says you know he needs a little help because his stats in those games are just unreal yeah right that the uh I was glad and it’s crazy I mean your your record I mean there’s so many good players in the NFL that don’t get their credit because they haven’t been
On winning team oh yeah dude yeah like like U there was a guy named Dan Marino that was on well one of the best quarterbacks ever you know and and they didn’t they never had enough to get you know but oh yeah that’s why I’m actually going he’s one of those guys that
Overcame the just guy gotta go down and celebrate Dan next week yeah he’s gonna be in mville next week is he yeah the Senior Bowl really yeah and I’m gone picked a hell of a week to be do you have any autographs you you got any autographs like I I’ll tell you mine
Mine are behind from from whoever I got Sabin right there I got Stallings behind you and I got Bart Star all behind you right there I don’t have a I don’t have any autographs to be honest with you really I don’t have a single autographed
Item at my house might need to work on that I I’ve just never been a uh you don’t want to be the guy that’s like hey man would you sign this for me yeah why not I would I think what would be cool is uh like I’ve seen
Um uh L Kane had a I think I told you this had a ball that was signed by all the national championship cool that would be pretty cool yeah one guy might not sign it long I wouldn’t ask you to go get it sign that’s true yeah he signed for you
Um that that would be incredible though I mean that that’s a you couldn’t do that now everybody I mean some of them think about like that I’ve talked about this before man I mean just think about that that group you know like all you guys it’s a that is an elite
Fraternity man the the elitist of the elite you know to be part of something like that uh it’s kind of like you know and this is I would say this even if we weren’t talking about the whole using Alabama thing uh I mean just fact I got to play at
Alabama coach Sabin I mean that’s what cool is that man is I mean it’s changed my life and just unbelievably in so many ways you know uh I mean I can’t even imagine there’s not one day that goes by I don’t think about that experience you know at least
Bit somebody pointed something out the other day and I gotta ask you about this they told me that your name wasn’t Jake who said that I heard that that your name was Bryant my first name is Bryant I said no it’s not hold on hold on I

With us because there’s there’s no ill int and Greg you guys that are pissed off at Greg remember man like this is a guy that’s got a lot of pressure on him he’s got a big platform he’s done a lot of great things in his career um and he
Feels bad you know and well one slip up and you know I mean hell a bad moment man just had a had one of those moments like where you’re just like we all get like I watch what I say all the time a lot because well because a lot of stupid [ __ ] comes
To mind a lot but I mean you know it’s can’t imagine having to watch what you say nonstop yeah I kind of like you know once you kind of like take a step back and you know you start reading all those comment honestly was reading all those comments
And I’m like man you know you’re still you you you [ __ ] up and sometimes that’s how life is man and you just gota you got to forgive people man we all make mistakes man you know we all say stuff it’s just we’re just not doing it in the moment because we’re letting
Emotions get the better of us but then again when you know just go let’s hear it I’m I’m interested now looking your sometimes like when you’re pissed off just you know think about who you’re starting to fight with before like it’s like me at the bus stop
You know like pissed off but you gonna try to start a fight with that guy no I don’t know yeah it’s always best to not when when you’re feeling pissed off it’s always best to just keep your mouth shut yeah you know I said I told him in that video sh mute the
Microphone and it’s not where I’m like telling him from a standpoint of like I don’t know I’m telling him from a standpoint I do know you know I used to do a show with a guy that I like but I just couldn’t stand him and my like just
It wasn’t fun and and it would just get to that point where I I would I I just couldn’t do it you know like it’s a headache yeah you know and and it became like where it felt like like heavy lifting and you know and sometimes it
Just you get into that mood where you’re like you know you’re not in a good place and you you know the way that you come off isn’t the way that you want to come off yeah and like sitting in here you know so so I mean I get it um good thing
For him is that you know a lot of careers have ended because people say stuff at the wrong time or to about the wrong person and that’s not this case you know this case is like hey this guy’s still on top you know and um and and I feel like there’s some
Insecurity based off of like you know like trying to impress Alabama people or trying to trying to flee to many people yeah and it’s like man just you know laugh at yourself and and and do what you’re doing and and uh you know be proud of all the things you’ve accomplished but don’t
Take yourself so seriously man like just you know like [ __ ] you could have said the same thing in a way that was funny and and everybody would have laughed oh yeah that’s right could have said the exact same thing in a way that wasn’t like so venomous and bitter and and and
And no everybody would have just been like Ah that’s funny and so would shank you know that’s the learning part of it you know yeah but we’re always [ __ ] you think about he really hadn’t been doing it that long uh and he’s damn good at it
