Shutdown Fullcast - Shutdown Fullcast EMERGENCY FREEZECAST

Episode Date: July 21, 2017

Houston Nutt is in your emails right now. He's already told your boss about that thing you ordered online. You know the one. Just quit now and save yourself the disgrace. The unemployment rate is going to jump 3% this year and it'll just be because Houston Nutt demands his damn pound of flesh. (Phrasing, I know.) Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome. We're going to do a little emergency forecasting for you. I'm Spencer Hall. There's Jason. There's Ryan. The co-hosts. Who cares where they are? Because we're all in the same place right now. We're in the wake of Hugh Freeze resigning after. And we're calling each other. Listen, listen, we're calling each other to prove that we're not currently, at least, calling a goddamn escort service in Tampa, Florida. Any of us currently working as an escort? I'm calling y'all on my computer. You do not know where my phone is. Shit.

To be fair. Hold on. You guys keep going. I'm going to start Googling Tampa Escort services. Okay. Be sure you Google that on your work computer. All right. The number one result, the number two resort result,

Tampa classifieds for apartments, jobs, and items for sale. So that's probably a good sign. Oh, yeah. Items. Hugh Free saw that. Oh, Coach, Hugh. Brother Hugh got on the Google, he saw items. He said, hmm, items.

I like the sound of that. Oh, what did you say? I do declare. I'd like to see some of these items. So what happened in case, I don't know. You know what happened. We're just going to say it. Hugh Freese, who defended time and time and time and time again.

Time and time again. Well, not too much defense, to be fair. all right time and time again old miss has gone to the mat for hugh freeze and essentially you know gone all in put all their chips on hugh freeze daring hugh freeze told the investigators you know find something i dare you well he didn't really anticipate you know you control the brush fire that's in front of you right that's how this works old miss and they got the NCAA just burning at their door and they're like ah we got that it's fine we controlled that that, right? We might even get away with all this and it's cool. We defended our boy Hugh, right? And what did Hugh Freeze do? He left the side door open and when you leave the side door open

you know what happens to just breathe in with the flanks. That's how you get AIDS. You leave the side door open, Houston nut appears in it. He wants a job. Either he's taking a job or you're losing yours.

Real quick, still doing some quick research over here. So far, my favorite Tampa St. Pete escort service company name is Mystic Kisses. Quite frankly, I don't know if I like the sound of that one.

Sounds on Christian. I tend to stay away from witchcraft. You freeze is really dangerously good. You say all the love has gone out of my marriage. I just marriage is so hard

I just for somebody for somebody who for somebody who understand he has a Twitter account and he's like seems to understand how that works

he's been obviously silent for a while lately how the fuck do you not know about Craigslist him a dude how do you

okay so so after all this Houston nut I'm trying to like this none of this makes sense and yet it makes perfect

fired by Old Miss in what? 2012 is that correct the first class was 13 so I think it would have been 2011 the class that really drew attention to Ole Miss was the 2013

Huffrey started in 2012 he got hired right at the end of 2011 okay so Houston nut who has not worked since then as a coach. He's worked. He's not worked as a football coach, is engaged in a lengthy lawsuit against Old Miss concerning, I don't know. What's the combination of factors here? Attorney

defamation? I believe it's basically that Houston Nut is alleging that Old Miss and Hugh Freeze released information to various members of the media to disparage, that had the effect of disparaging Houston Nuts, reputation, which, sure, and prevented him from gaining employment as a college football coach once more. It's the fake news media. They're leaking. They've got, they're leakers. Hey, they're leaking.

There's all over the place. Everywhere you live. My favorite part, my favorite, my favorite part about this is that how do you think a journalist got a hold of this? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no. that's like Woodward Burdstein. That's different. Yeah, you think they just managed to dig through those files?

Hmm? I think that's how this happened. So anyway, Houston Nut, who earlier, 10 years earlier, actually, gotten some hot water after his records were foiled, not by investigators, not by lawyers, but by members of a message board, Hogville, among others.

which would also be a great name for an escort service let me be clear yes now we're talking now we're talking i'd want that t-shirt the 10 years to the day after he has gotten in trouble for this uh you know history comes full circle he gets one phone number one one one minute call that's all it takes that hew free's made to an escort service based uh out of a detroit number based out of Tampa, Florida. And I think based on follow-ups to that report, it's not just one call. There's the AD Ross Bork came out and said, I think he used the word pattern. Hey, man, if the play works, run it again.

What was that play in the damn, what was it, the Birmingham Bowl against Pitt, their first ball game in a while? They literally ran the same play like seven times in a row. He tried to tell us. back again he was at he was it was a cry for help all along that and that and where did he make this call did he do what you're supposed to do when you're a recruiter when you're somebody working in the dark web of internet recruiting you call on what what do you call on boys it's like rule one of cheating here what do you call on you call the burner call on the burner and how do we know he made this call He didn't call on the burner.

He called on the phone. The phone that belongs to the university, which is a state entity, making a state property. What feels so dated about this is that, like, how many times do you remember, let's say in the last month, let's say in all of July, how many phone calls do you think you have made on your phone? couldn't possibly tell you like give me give me an estimate because i'm going to say for me it's maybe like six yeah i avoid the phone so so here's the 10 here's the problem 10 years ago maybe like 15 years ago phone records you'd be like who boy we got like 48 pages of shit here he's using up all as any time minutes needs to be more focused on nights and weekends that's sloppy now it's probably like, all right, Hugh Freeze made nine calls

and four of them were to an escort service. And the other five were information asking for the escort service's number. So you could, Hugh Freeze spends 50% of his phone time calling escorts. I do enjoy this. People saying, you know, I don't know whether it was for him or whether it was for recruits.

Oh, let's, let's. let's just let's just cut that line of thinking off here okay well i mean i mean come on if you're if you are a highly accomplished high school football player in the state of florida it's probably very hard to find sex very very hard yeah they say it's they say it's tricky these days florida america's purest state and if you've seen and if you've seen if you've seen if you've seen Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze is a millionaire who might have to call an escort service.

Not the most handsome man. Damn. It's not going to be an easy pitch. Let's see. 2017 class. I'll keep going. I'm just seeing if Ole Miss is recruiting any Tampa players.

Well, to be clear, they've only played, I think this is right. They've only played two games in the state of Florida under Hugh Freeze. One was the 2015 lost to Florida in Gainesville shortly before Florida's quarterback was Dunzo for the year. The next game was the 2016 season opener against Florida State in, what was that,

the Camping World Bowl? Yeah. In Orlando. So this is, I would argue, Hugh Freeze's third straight loss to the state of Florida. um uh yeah man um so the the the beauty of this obviously is that houston that came right back around he saw something worked to get him out of a job so he said i'm not rid of that guy what do i do oh i know i know i'll try that thing they did to me and he you know um probably record's requests got some stuff via his lawyer

The lawyer got it to Ole Miss, and bang, it worked. So, like, in Houston, that in mind, this is just, this is, this is how you get things done around here. Now, now, follow up question. Is Houston not going to interview for the Ole Miss job? Probably already has. Probably there right now. I'm telling you, somebody left the door open. Number one asset, I'd say I'm tenacious.

Yes, yes, I see. I see. There's probably some sort of stipulation, like, in Mississippi. Mississippi. If you defeat a man in public like this, you get to take his stuff. You eat what you kill. I'm green and I'm clean. I'm a sickle-living kind of coach. But let's go ahead. I mean, listen, we're not going to reveal our sourcing for this, but Jason, can you go ahead and tell everybody who we have decided, without any sourcing, has the front position for the old misjob now. So, we had just recorded another episode to set aside for next week.

We were planning on not talking any of this until the SECOS preview next week, until Spencer proposed Ole Miss head coach Bob Davy, which shattered all of us so deeply that we decided we had to record this emergency episode. Just the idea of Ole Miss fans being told, hey, your team was pretty fun. It was interesting, whether that was good or bad. It's going to be boring

now. Your games are going to last 59 minutes. You're running the quintuble option. Nothing's ever fun again. Just, that's it. Bring you in, if you want like a year to calm things down, a year without any... If you want a year without any obvious

landmarks, if you want a year where, frankly, you won't be real bad, and you probably won't be real good. you'd be about six and six the six they'll all make sense you'll go probably should have beaten Arkansas yeah you're right and you'll lose Alabama because well yeah

we probably should lose them especially when we're running the quadruple option yeah that's they'll all make sense Bob Davy you know what he's going to say that's interesting nothing not a thing we run the Hoosiers offense I want five handoffs on every play whatever he does say

that's interesting who in the SEC West is going to understand him he's got that he's got that accent hey man he's got that crazy accent i can't tell what that fool's talking about and and bob davy when he when he moves to mississippi bob davy as he did when he moved from ohio to texas he'll try to recalibrate that accent by the way so there's no telling what he'll sound like by the end of the year he could sound like kevin spacy and house of cards for all we know listen listen listen plus you know who coached under bob davy Urban Meyer

Well, Urban Meyer and Dan Mullen So hey man, you want that It's all about egg bowl We're just trying to get the man who could win us The Egg Bowl again If you've ever wanted to watch your team On the verge of victory Run Out of Time

With a timeout in pocket Hire Bob Davy So I just I want to present one other One other alternate reality That's even better than this one Bob Davy turns down the Ole Miss job publicly He chooses to stay at New Mexico

I think New Mexico is a better long-term program I believe that we have the tools to succeed here I'd also point out that we won nine games last year at Ole Miss only won five that's true nine more than five Also we I like playing football in December I would also, by the way, like seriously point out that, and all this, and he freezes gone, right?

It's going to take, it's going to take a while to sort of really process this, but he beat Nick Saban twice. Two times. Back to back. Back to back, hell. Did it once and then did it again the next year. You know what?

I think if you're old Miss, you hire him. How do you launder a coach this quickly, though? John L. Smith. Okay, so John L. steps in for a game, and then you hire, he frees? Yep, yep. Okay. Well, we appreciate what John L. did for the program, but it's time to re-night the locker room. Did for the program in late July, getting us to fall camp without any break-ins.

As promised, we've paid him $700 and let him stay in the guest bedroom for that time. Sank of a deal! I needed the money! I think what you do is you get Hugh onto that, on one of Nick Saban's backup coaching staff that he keeps in the coach mind. You just tuck Hugh away. It's like Bama is like a super high-class juco for coaches now. Just stash a coach there.

Just hide Hugh. somewhere in Tuscaloosa and go get him in three years. No one will recognize him. He'll probably gain some weight. Lane Kiffen gained some weight, bro. Y'all see Lane, Lane's looking like an old lineman. Those are gains, man. All right, they're definitely gains.

Yeah, more like Gaines Kiffin, man. Sick, Baines. Man, he was on that Scott Cochran playing at Alabama. That's what did it. More like Bain Kiffin. Can you imagine Hugh Freeze with like 40 more pounds on him? more like a chuck more like crane kiffin because they're going to have to use one move him place to place more like lane kiffing because he's as wide as a lane

that cars drive in lane thicken damn it
