The Bobby Bones Show - 25W: Arkansas Coaching Chaos Has Bobby Fed-up + Are the Cowboys Actually a Playoff Lock? + Lane Kiffin's Soft Move from the Weekend

Episode Date: December 1, 2025

Bobbys had it with the Arkansas coaching chaos, and he lay out why the nonstop rumors, misreports, and “done deal” whispers have him completely fed up with the football program for the year. The guys also discuss the big question: are the Dallas Cowboys actually a playoff lock, or is everyone getting a little too comfortable with that 10-win number? Bobby breaks down what the rest of the schedule looks like, why the Chiefs might need to win out, and how a lot of money could potentially be lost in the midst of it all. He also hits on Lane Kiffin’s “soft move” from the weekend involving a reporter and an apology, plus some college playoff talk, Diego Pavia’s big statement game, and a few life notes like Eddie taking his kids to the Y, carving turkey, and why Bobby’s foot is absolutely screaming by the end of the show.   Download the DraftKings Sportsbook App today: https://dkng.co/bobbysports   If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA).   21+ (18+ WY).

Hello, welcome to the show. I have so many notes. We can start with your Dallas Cowboys. You can blow the whistle. There you go. Dude, what are we doing? This is amazing. How about that Thanksgiving game?

How about it? Yeah, it's great. Dude, it's awesome. We went from 0% chance to go into the playoffs to I think now we're at 24. If we beat the Lions, we are 50% chance of making the playoffs. You're do or die.

This is an elimination game for the Cowboys. And for the Chiefs. Both. Yeah. The Lions are struggling too. Lions are struggling. Nobody looks amazing. Everybody looks beatable.

You mean in all of the NFL? All the NFL. The Cowboys offense does look really good. Dude, the offense has always looked. It's the defense that looks so different. You're right. Yeah. I'm rooting for you guys.

It's a brand new team, dude. I think... Don't do it. Don't be a cowboy, though. Here's the problem. You're going to get... It's so excited because here you are going from zero to, well, you weren't at zero. Notice I'm not saying Super Bowl.

I'm not saying Super Bowl. I'm being realistic. Mike, you're a Cowboys fan too. Yeah. And I root for you guys against everybody except the Chiefs, so I didn't want you to win that game because it cost us money. I know. I know. But at that point, I was like, screw the money.

I'm a Cowboys for Life kind of guy. So to me, at that point, winning that game as a Cowboys fan was number one. The Cowboys and Lions, that is for both teams, pretty much a playoff game. Yeah. You guys can't lose again. No. And you kind of have to come up in the NFC East, right? Well, not necessarily.

Like, we can lose as long as the Eagles lose. If the Eagles... Aren't you two games back? We're at one and a half. One and a half games back. Because we have that tie. Do not forget that little tie against Green Bay. Yeah.

That could be the difference maker. Dude, if we come back and win the division, this is insane. Yeah, because, yeah, they're one ahead. The DeLions, that is. playing on this week. They're one ahead of you in the standings. They're the eight seed right now. You're the nine.

I mean, it's amazing. And it's a lot of clutter in the NFC. There is. There is. There is. Good teams. Yeah. We're going to need a lot of teams to kind of just take it down.

I think you have to win. I think you have to win every game. Yeah. Starting with the Lions, baby. Can you read me the rest of the Cowboys schedule? And we can do the Cowboys and we can move off the Cowboys. I know you're just, it's just, it's been a long. I haven't wanted to talk about this for so long.

Chomping it's so long Yeah It's happening on Thursday, dude The Cowboys have the Lions Lions Vikings If they don't have a quarterback That might be one of the worst teams

I've ever seen in my life Oh it's hard I feel bad for their fans Even with their starting quarterback They're still a really bad team I feel bad for Justin Jefferson Yeah yeah yeah That's what I feel bad for

Yeah Yeah Okay And then Chargers Can do that You know Man it's weird to say But yeah

Go ahead At Commanders We can do that Okay Finish off at the Giants. Oh, we could definitely do that. I mean, again, the Cowboys beating the Chiefs, awesome. It was great.

We celebrated. You had to win that. But then the Eagles losing, even more of a celebration. And then the commanders losing, they weren't really even in the conversation. I can't believe the Eagles lost that game to the Cowboys. I know. And they, the Cowboys? Or to the Bears.

Or to the Bears, excuse me, the Bears are the number one. The Bears are the number one. The Bears are the number one seed right now. Yes. It's crazy, dude. Okay. So anyway, I'm on cloud nine. Just because there's hope on the horizon.

I hope that the Cowboys make it. Do you? Yeah, of course I do. Because I like the Cowboys, and I have a future on them. I bet to win the Super Bowl that I keep posting in the Cowboys of Group Thread that we're in. That I changed the name to, by the way, our group thread. You did, you did, you did.

Yeah. Did Eddie say anything at all this weekend? Not really. Maybe. I might have said something. Our group chat is now lifelong Latino Cowboys fans. And you're in it. I'm the one white guy in the group.

It's me and all my Mexican cowboy friends. I posted about $100 a way months ago for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl to win $6,000. They're hot. No doubt about it. I bet those odds changed.

Not much, but I bet they changed. I think I got them at 11 plus 1,100. I don't know what I got them. You bet them to win the Super Bowl too? I did, yeah. I'm surprised. Okay, so there you go. There's Dallas Cowboys.

Congratulations to Eddie. Thank you, man. on a massive win. And Mike, congrats, Mike. Yeah. And Mike, congratulations. Okay, we'll go to Mike then. Congrats to Texas for being Texas A&M.

It was a great two days of football for me. Yeah, I forget you got it on both ends. That was crazy. I was crazy. I know, I felt like Texas, I think I said this on the show last week. I felt like Texas was prime to come in and I've never seen Austin and that Texas. Listen, I'm a Texas hater. So if you don't know that, just know that before I say this stuff.

I've never seen that stadium be that alive. Yeah, it was crazy, wild, like just roaring. On television. And I've been there. But on television, I've never seen that stadium, that ant for anything. You can see, like, the wave of people, like, just going up and down the entire time. Texas A&M coming in. Texas, at home, as an underdog, they're fired up.

They put their wine and cheese away, and they just, they did some yelling. He did some yelling. Yeah, thoughts on the game? I thought it was crazy to see A&M kind of be conservative in the second half, like, where they could have just really chomped down and got back in the game. They just could not do anything. They weren't going for it. in Texas just dominated.

Yeah, I didn't like what I saw. But I like Arch Manning. And so there's always like a little nugget of rainbow in there for me. I like that he's playing pretty well. I feel like he's just run the ball. He runs, man. Always, yeah. When he ran for that touchdown, like he outran people.

Yes, he did. I love like when he was going to the end zone just like, guard the ball, make sure like at all cost not to lose the ball. It looked good. All right, Kevin, your Patriots have not played yet. Tonight. They play tonight. He got the jacket on.

Oh, yeah. You like it? Yeah. Yeah, that's a cool old school jacket. I thought maybe he just bought it because it looked a little wrinkly. Doesn't it look a little wrinkly to you? Like he pulled it out of the box this morning? Are you waking up with hating your heart?

I know. You're team one. No, no. Always. Eddie's always firing shots at me for no reason at all. I'm team Patriots, man. We got money on Patriots. Congrats to your cowboys and you're over here.

Just like, hey, I like your jacket. But it looks like crap, dude. Wow. It was tucked away for the summer, right? I had to pull it out. It's 30 degrees here. I asked about, hey, if these teams get to 10 wins,

are they guaranteed to be in the playoffs? I just ask ChatGBT, GBT, based on the history of the NFL. And so historically, 10 wins is often enough. So think about you guys' teams. So the Cowboys, are you 7, 7, 4 and 1? No, 6.5 and 1, yeah. Historically, 10 wins is often enough.

Teams with 10 wins have made the playoffs 90% of the time since 1990. So you get to 10, you're pretty much in. 11 or more wins, 98% of the time. You get to 11, you're for sure. 12, also a guarantee. So you got to hit 10.

And I think I was looking this up for the Chiefs as well because they're 6 and 6. But they're also behind their division rivals. Denver's going to win that division, especially with their commanders win by 1, go for 2, overtime. Denver keeps winning. It's crazy. Yeah.

Eventually, though, I've got to stop being a hater and just go, they just win games. Same thing with the Bears. That's a weird one though. It's a weird one. It's a weird one to say because they've been bad for so long. But also, you're watching them. It's not even just saying it. Like, I'm watching Denver and I'm watching the Bears. And every game, like, oh, they could lose this game.

Yeah. Like, you never feel, if you're a fan, you never feel comfortable. Yeah, never. To have that good of a record, you'd think there'd be some comfortability with your team. Right. So Denver's going to win that. But it's like, the Chiefs lost to Jacksonville, like, idiots. They're behind Jackson They're behind the Chargers So I don't know what they're going to

They have to win every game We do We need them to win every game We do When you texted me after the Cowboys game Like a little upset because maybe the Cowboys You put it in the wrong thread Keeping the Cowboys thread

That was our money making thread I never said anything you got I did Kevin started at all I never said anything Whatever it was all I knew is I was triggered Dude you got fired up I was triggered And then you're like, yeah, congrats on your little win, dude.

You cost us this much money. I'm like, whoa, whoa, dude. Let me go back to this thread. Yeah, I knew it. I was sitting there on Thanksgiving. I want to stir the pot a little bit. They talk about like a drink in my hand, loving life to like, oh. Let me see, let me see.

Kevin goes, congrats on the big win, Eddie. Let's effing go Bengals. I said that one hurts our money team for sure. Eddie goes, I know, but that was awesome. No, you did it. I just responded. No, no, no, no, no. That wasn't that game awesome?

But all I did was say, yeah, that hurts our money team for sure. I wasn't angry, and then you go, I know, but that was awesome. And then what you say? Not really. It keeps can't stay out of the playoffs, and it costs us roughly at least another $1,000 more. So good for you. If the Cowboys lose and the Bengals lose, that's an Eddie minus 1K day itself. But that did not happen.

They didn't because Joe Burroughs awesome. Yes, he is. Yeah, Kevin was kind of stirring it up there. I did. And then you jumped in, make it worse. You knew what you were doing. Oh, yeah. I was sitting there and I was just like, because I enjoyed it.

I knew we were going to lose money. I was like, I just want to see what's going on here. Let's see what the boys are doing. So I knew it was either going to trigger Bobby or trigger you. Eddie triggered. You triggered Eddie that triggered me. Yeah. Did you bet on that game at all? Chiefs Cowell was?

I don't think I caught it in time. No. And I was torn. Oh, you weren't in town. That's what it was. I couldn't bet for Markinsville. That's what it was. It saved me a lot of money. Not being in a state thing about. I had a bad day.

Because as soon as I got home, I started betting again. Loos, loose, loose, loose, losers. Terrible. Lose, losers. It felt like you had to make up. Los, Los, Los, Los, Los. I lost so much. I've been on, I was on a bad run, had a decent week to get kind of close, and then I had another bad, like Saturday Sunday. I don't even bet that much NFL, I just had a bet.

I think I bet two games lost them both, and I know when to say win. Yeah. Tapped out. It was also kind of a boring Sunday because of all the games that had happened already. Because they just weren't as many games, and the teams kind of sucked. Yeah. The earlier games were decent. We can talk about Arkansas if you want. Yeah, what's what's going on there? Well, so first, what do you mean what's going on? So you happy? Yeah, I'm fine.

I am indifferent. So when I came on, and I would have to go back and listen to me, and I won't do that on last week's show. Because you never do or you just don't want to? Both. But if I know me, I don't think even I was sure that we really had goalish. Because I was like, this is saying that, but it's like, it was one small town guy saying it. And then the national media ran with it. Yeah, when did it?

Because I saw it all over Twitter. It never went official. But it never went official. It was one guy who did not have two sources and trying to be first in Arkansas and said that he had signed. He never signed. And from what I, and I'm not doing what I heard and stuff, but I know people that, and they were like, hey, trying to get the Ole Miss job. And so Old Miss job was not going to be open even if, lane left because I hired the defensive coordinator.

But the Auburn job was opened because Summerall went to Florida and they thought some and so he took the Auburn job, which right now is a better job than the Arkansas job. And so we don't have a goalish and then everybody's like, well, this is interesting. And so they hire Silverfield from Memphis who beat us this year.

I posted on Twitter, I didn't know Pittman and Silverfield were racing for pinks. I just am so emotionally burnt of this season of the last three, four, five years. Whatever, man. I don't know. This year has been a long one for you guys. I don't know them.

I'm sure it'll be fine. It can't be worse, right? Famous last words. I mean, it can, but I mean... We won two games. Yeah. That's pretty bad. But what's crazy about all these games, though,

is that you were... Arkansas was in all these games until the last quarter. Fourth quarter. And then... There's a famous shirt. And they did it again this week. The people wear in Arkansas.

So we almost always win. Really? They wear that shirt? Yeah. Oh, that's tough. Yeah, it sucks. But I'm hoping for... I'm hoping for the best.

I have a friend that's a really good friend with him. And he was like, great dude. And I was like, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't care how good a dude it is. He didn't get me my friend. I hope he's a good dude. That's great and all, but I want to win games. And like, selfishly, like I've pumped a lot of money into that football program.

Not as much as the whales. No doubt about it. I've not put millions in, but I've put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the football program. And to get nothing and to suck, that sucks. Yeah They had a protest Where? In Arkansas

Yeah yesterday And it wasn't even really About the new coach It was about the athletic director Is it just the way it's been handled Or is it everything It's a travesty All of this is a travesty

But Tiz of my life Being an Arkansas fan Did you jump in on the protest? No You got out of town Yeah Smart Yeah no

I was already back home But we were in Fayette But you were there this weekend Like was there a lot of talk of No nobody cares Everybody Because they knew They knew

that we were everybody checked out there was nothing to do we're gonna go and freeze to death on a Saturday game and then we lost that game it's terrible it's cold out there yeah it's miserable just looking forward to basketball now yeah we already we already are we have a big game against Louisville on Wednesday but we're oh and two and quad one games because we've called cow to his credit and to the frustration at the same it has scheduled like every top team in college basketball for us to play this year because he believes we're really good and so you know we played duke and we played them really close on Thanksgiving night in Chicago.

They were out by 10 at one point. We went out by 7. They ended up beating it by 7 or 8. At the end, it was just shooting free throws. But we played Duke, and then earlier this year, we got to be by Michigan State. It's really good.

They are really good. We have Louisville, I think, their top 5 team on Wednesday. I feel like there's a lot of big matchups already. The college basketball has kind of gotten to that, hasn't it? Yeah, you can lose. You just want those quad-one wins.

You're trying to get a couple of those. Why do they play as you? Chicago. That wasn't a tournament, was it? No, just a holiday classic. Okay. I saw a lot of teams playing there. Turkey Classic. I'd turn it on, I'd see the Bulls logo and be like, wait, what? Were there a lot of teams? I just knew the Arkansas Duke game. There were like two or three games there. That makes sense then. Yeah, I didn't know that. So, yeah, it kind of sucks for us as Arkansas fans. Like, we're...

Yeah, so you have nothing, you're indifferent. Towards football? Towards football, that is, specifically. What do you have me to do? Yeah, I know. I looked at our record over the last 10 years. We haven't had a conference winning. season in 10 years. Our best in conference. Now we've had a couple of seven and four, you know, when Petrino was there.

Sam Pittman had one good year, but we have never had a winning. If 500 counts was winning, I think we've had two in 10 years, but we've never been over 500 in conference. It sucks, man. And I know that when the calendar changes and here comes August next year,

I'll be fired up again, but I'm tired, I'm sad, I've spent a bunch of money and got nothing back from it. It's only a Cowboys fan. Yeah. Except they don't donate to their team. They don't. But they buy merge and spend money.

Most of them leave, though. So what do you give Silverfield? What's the expectation? I don't have one. But like as a fan base, what do you guys give? Three years? Three years? It can move quicker.

We've seen with money, with resources, with, he's going to bring a general manager, which we didn't have prior just for football. So, I don't know. I do. I'm just so indifferent. I'm numb toward it, and I'm sure if I reach out, he'll come on the show, but I don't even know I want to talk with him. I'm kind of over football.

You want to wait until the breaks over? Mentally exhausting. I'm over Arkansas football. You just get beat with a belt so much. You stay away from the closet. Because you know what's in the closet? The belt. Yeah. Bigger belt.

Yeah. Hey, man. It's tough. Yeah, that sucks. Well, you got the Panthers. Yeah, that's crazy game, huh? I wish that was like my real team. You know, it's my fake team.

Started, dude. It's never too late. I don't have like a lifetime relationship with it. I know. But I am. I keep pounding. You always keep pounding. You keep pounding.

Our parlay, I did hit my Indiana minus 28 and a half at Purdue. Yeah. Oregon minus seven at Washington. Who is that? Is that Brandon? No, it wasn't me. Okay, then it was Brandon. So that's another win.

Yeah. And then you guys lost it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oklahoma, man. Come on. I thought it number three A&M would do better than that. I did make a lot of notes. So let's just start going to.

down the notes here. So Lane Kiffin goes to LSU and I thought that it was, now we have seen a bit since, but I thought Lane was super soft after the game when he goes to that reporter who looked like a child and is like, do call me a ho? You should don't call me a ho. That was super soft Elaine. Because he didn't even, I felt like people were like, this, this, he was a reporter, podcast or whatever, did you guys see him?

No, yeah, yeah, I saw. He looks like he's 25 years old. Yeah, yeah. I saw his response to it. So did he really call him a ho? No. So here's the thing. Kind of, but not really.

So, Ludacris says you can't turn a hoe into a housewife because a hoe don't act right. Now, he wasn't really calling Lane a hoe. He was saying that a zebra can't change the stripes, basically, just using a funnier line. It's the same thing. And he said that about Lane Kiffin, can't turn a hoe into a housewife. Meaning, Lane has always left. Lane has always been drama. Lane has won a lot of places, but he's been the same person.

Like, you're never surprised by what he just. did. And so he can't turn a hoe into a housewife. And so that went a bit viral. So Lane Kiffin went up to him after the game with cops surrounding him. It was like, you know, so soft, Elaine Kiffin to do that. Because he had all his cops with him. Like, the cops do surround the head

coach in the SEC. Yeah, there's three. And he's doing it, and there's a camera around, like super soft. So then after that, Lane talked about it in the press conference. And then he called the kid and apologized that night. Oh, he did.

He did. Okay. So that's not even where it ends. And it's not even about Lane going to LSU. That's the funniest part. Before, maybe right before they had, like, announced it, Lane sent that kid a text message with a picture of him wearing a hat that said a hoe on it. So he was...

Admitting he had a hoe. Got it. Got it. I do have the audio. This is from a podcast. This is going to be from my phone. Lane Kiffin called me and apologized. on Saturday. It was about a two-minute conversation.

Been at 7.15 p.m. amidst all this craziness on Twitter, the same number that called me, and it was laying on the other end, apologizing, and I apologize for my role in it, too, because it's all really silly. The same dude, the exact same dude, is sending me a meme of him picking up the ho hat and putting down, or not, you know, picking up the hoe hat over the housewife hat. That happened. I've been going through it this weekend trying to defend my friend Ben, okay?

I've known Ben since I was like... So the funny that Lane then sends him the picture going, yeah. And I'm not even surprised he did that. No, me either. That's such a lane thing to do, I feel like. I feel like it was so soft to go up to that kid with cameras around and like,

challenge him after the game. Also, he sounds like a 50-year-old guy. He does. He doesn't sound nearly as young as he looks. I wish I knew the... I mean, I can... I want to credit this kid. Because...

And credit the podcast. Sudu. Sudu TV is the account that I took it from. S-U-D-U-T-V on TikTok. So anyway, can't turn a hoe into a housewife because the hoe don't act right. A lot of pressure on Lane Kippertr at LSU now, but he'll win. Yeah. He'll for sure win.

They're happy. The big debate was they're going to let him coach through with Ole Miss, and you couldn't. And the fact that Lane was trying to make himself a victim going, they won't let me coach. No, they will let you coach if you stay with the team. Yeah, you're leaving. I was surprised that defensive. coordinator is now the head coach. And at first they were like, they're going to take the defensive coordinator, make him the interim coach. But it was like interim head, moving on.

Yeah, and they even said before Lane decided what he was going to do, they were like, we have a plan. So they've had this in the plans, which is, I don't know if it's like a, we just got to have a plan and there's a guy we're going to hire or if they actually wanted that. The, all the students from Ole Miss yelling at Lane on the tarmac with middle fingers when he got on the plane to go to LSU yesterday. Oh, I didn't see that. Hilarious. Damn, they all loved him like a month ago. and they all now go to the private airport

and they're like three rows deep like 40 students middle fingers in the air screw you lane FU lane it was awesome gotta love college football the guy that was parked out

in front of the chancellor's house the night before because so Lane went to the chancellor's house that supposedly having a meeting and they're watching the Iron Bowl really just to see if Ole Miss would make it to the SC championship game

because if Auburn would beat Alabama Ole Miss would have been in the SC championship game against Georgia next week. This is the chancellor of who? Ole Miss. Okay. So supposedly Lane was there trying to negotiate

that he could still coach the team. But the guy was at the chancellor's house and he's like, here's a picture, there's Lanes Bentley. I saw that. And he's like, these fans are crazy. You're in a small town too.

All these college towns for the most part except for Austin and the SEC. What other big talent, big city? In the SEC? Bandy. Oh yeah, Vandy, Nashville. Yeah. But most are college towns.

Yeah. And you know where people live. That was like the Brian Kelly where they sat outside of his office. You're like he's in there getting fired right now. At least that was the office, though. That's true. That is true. A house is weird.

Lang Kiffin drives a Bentley, huh? That's cool. He seems like a Bentley guy. Yeah. He does? Sure. Yeah. I see a sports car kind of guy.

Corvette. Bentley's like cool luxury. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I had one. Did you like it? Like it. Yeah, because it wasn't like two, fancy and it wasn't

it was right in the middle I didn't feel like it was screaming I don't want anything that screams money but I don't know what screams money sometimes I have no idea gold well I mean like a car because I felt like that would look like a sedan yeah and I was like it's not really a sedan

Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I hear something that I pulled. So this was after the Arkansas game losing to Missouri.

Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz. I think the SEC's better when Arkansas is good. As a guy is from Arkansas, I hope they can find the right coach and get this thing going again because this is a special stadium when it's sold out and the fans are rocking. I know Arkansas fans believe in the hogs

and so I wish the best for them. That's a bless your heart. It is a bless your heart. We're so bad that the opposite coach who's from Arkansas is like having to be like, it's okay. Guys, you'll be there again. Oh, no.

according salt in the wound yeah so whatever man um I pulled this world's largest cities speaking of college towns this is the complete opposite

straight world's largest cities based on population oh the world's largest one two three four five six seven are we guessing yeah I got the top ten go go Kevin Tokyo

number one with 37 million people good job dude Eddie I mean got to go like L.A. Did not make it. Really? Kevin.

You've lived in Europe too, huh? Yeah. But those are Dubai? Dubai. Dubai. No. Hey. Eddie?

New York City. Ten. Okay. There you go. You guys are one-to-one. Three strikes drop. Hong Kong. Seems big. I still have a lot of people there No

Wow London town No London town It's that a thing London Last one What's a

Largest city Big City in I'm gonna tell you I don't A couple of these In like the top 15 I never even heard of

Really We'll never get those Moscow No Dang Okay I got it Yeah Rio de Janeiro

For the wind Nope Dang. Number two is in India. Oh, yeah. You say it. India cities? Oh, yeah.

No, India. The one in India. Low India. Oh, yeah. Bangladesh. Anything? Delhi. D-E-L-H-I.

Number two, most populated city in the world. Number three is in China. Ding, Zing, Jung. No, you're just getting racist. No, no, no, no. I know one. It's like Sing do or something. I don't know, dude.

Yeah, I have no idea. You can't name of China, China City at all? Yeah, Hong Kong. Singapore. Ooh. Are you just yelling things? Yes. Thailand!

Yeah. Shanghai and number three. Oh, duh, Shanghai Knights, dude. Great movie. Great movie. Number four, I'm going to tell you, I don't even know what country this is in. Come on. Do you know anything, like anything?

If I were guessing, I would say Brazil, but I don't know that it's Brazil. The flag's green with a red circle in it. Green with a red circle in it. 23 million people, number four most populated. Lima? D-H-A-K-A. Oh, never heard of that. No idea.

Mike, where's DACA? Bangladesh. Oh. there's a lot of bot farms in Bangladesh. Oh. A lot of scammers. Yeah. Whenever they did the Twitter turnaround where it was like you can now see where

people's accounts were tweeting from, a lot of the political accounts were actually set up in these countries. No way. Yeah. San Paulo at number five. Brazil. Mexico City at six. Wow.

That's big. I've been there. How'd you not guess it? I don't know. I didn't think about that one. Just look down at your hands. Did you know when I was there? Yeah, the color of my hands?

When I was there one time, there was an earthquake. I slept through it. Big one? Enough to drop frames from the wall. Really? That's pretty good. But you didn't... Nothing?

Nice. Left through it. Cairo? Egypt. Beijing, China hits it with the second one. Duh. Why did you think of Beijing? The Olympics.

Mumbai, which I believe is also in India. India, right? Osaka, which I believe is Japan. New York. And then here... This is outside the top 10. Karachi. 17 million people.

K-A-C-H-I. Karashi. My trips.com never recommends Karashi. I don't know where that is. I never even seen this flag. It's got like a moon and a star and a stripe. Where's Karashi? Pakistan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably why. Okay. Chongqing. That's China. China's got three in the top 15. That's the one I was trying to pronounce. No, I don't know.

Okay, here's one I don't know. Number 14. Ken Shasa. And it's a blue flag with a stripe going corner to corner with a star in the upper half. Okay. Kenshasa, that seems to me like something east, like Singapore, China. I'm thinking like Kazakhstan. I don't know if it's in the stands.

You know what I mean? That's like Middle East, isn't it? I think it's a stand. Really? Mike, where is Kenchasa? The Republic of Congo. Oh, that's Africa. Africa. Way off. Wow.

And then the final one is Lagos. Lagos. Oh, oh, Lagos. Lagoz. Are those islands? Some of it. See that? There's no way. 16 million people in Lagos. And the flag is green, white, green. Philippines. Oh. I don't know the answer. Like, I'm just, I guess I'm shocked out. I don't even, I haven't heard of some of these places. Lagoes. Anything, guys? No, before you tell us? I guess it's Philippines. um

Jamaica Mike Nigeria um Africa coming in coming in strong you're in top 15 oh man

what I'm now getting texts about like why am I getting coaches about text about the coaching search now these like friends I don't even know who it is it says

I don't know who I'm on with here isn't that weird you're in a group chat yeah and no numbers pop up from that group chat? Yeah. 501s, which means

they're both Arkansas. But no names. Because I don't have them saved on my phone. I don't know. All right. Anyway, I kept that screenshot. I thought it would be fun to see

if you guys could guess the city because I felt totally stupid trying to read those. We did pretty bad. Really bad. I don't know who any of them were. Ohio State crushes Michigan. Although at the very beginning of the game,

I was like, here we go again. Yeah, the interception. But once I kicked another field goal, I was like, yeah, you guys are done now. because it was 6-0, then 6-3, and then Ohio State kind of had control of it since then, but it looked miserable cold. Yeah, that in Illinois. Did you see the Illinois game? Snow.

Oh, yeah. There's like nobody there. Yeah, I saw Bilema with like the ski mask on. Covering his face? That's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's see what are the games again? Oklahoma beat LSU, that was an ugly game.

The whole game is ugly. Oklahoma does not have an offense. It's like they just should have their defense. Like there's a practice mode. or college football where you can play only defense. They should just play defense and just try to score on defense. Yeah. Because it's the best shot.

It is not good. All right. Let's see. I'm just so, I have to get all these helmets off my desk. I'm just so grossed out by college football. Oh, you want to just take them all down? Diego Pavia.

Hey, that's a big Vanderbilt win. That's a big Vanderbilt win. And now you have money on Pavia to win the Hizman. He's not going to win the Hizman. But how awesome for Vanderbilt. He's moved up. He's third favorite. He's not going to win, Kevin.

He's moved up. You get the invite to New York. You never know. No, I'm riding. Remember, I'm riding. I didn't want to buy it after this week. Oh, you don't? Not anymore. Because he's not going to win because Indiana, they're going to play Ohio State. But if Indiana loses to Ohio State, you know? Do you think Mendoza is the guy? I think Mendoza is probably the big favorite.

But yeah, it's exciting for Vanderbilt fans. Yeah, and they pulled away at the end there, too. Let them have it. Tennessee didn't beat a single team, I think, over 500. If you look at that. Like, I don't think they have a quality win. if you look at their schedule. I think Texas A&M is a bit dealing with this as well

where they played basically all the bad teams in the SEC and so we're just like, man, they must be awesome. And I think they are really good, but I think we kind of declared their awesomeness before they actually got to prove they were awesome. Are you looking at it? Yeah, they lost to Georgia. Like look at their wins.

I don't think they have any quality win. Syracuse, UAB, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico State, and Florida. Yeah Tennessee didn't beat anybody Yeah Our boy at Kentucky got fired Soops

I didn't see that Yeah Paying him out like $36 million They just got smoked By Louisville didn't they Yeah Rivalry game

But ours It's supposed to rival I cares College football who cares I gotta get See helmets off my desk It's dropping me crazy I'll take him to the house

I thought you were gonna say Goodwill Like dang dude No no no no No I don't care Did you go to the Y? I did go to the Y over the break, man. It was crazy.

So, like, I take my kids to go practice basketball as much as we can. And our gym was closed, the one that we normally go to. So we went to the Y. And they were having, it's like two gyms, right? And it's split by kind of like a divider. But it's halfway open so you can kind of see what's going on over there. And there was a pickup game going on. And I could just start hearing things get a little fired up.

It was like, you can hear two guys just kind of bickering. Men, men, men. Like, get off me, bro. Like, that kind of stuff. Hey, whoa, whoa, hey, settle down, settle down, settle down. Whoa, whoa. Dude, finally, after like five minutes of just escalating, it just went like, you want some of this? And just everyone just started going at it.

And I was like, I grabbed my two kids. I'm like, let's get out of here. I'm not sticking around to see what happens here. I've never seen that before. Pick up. Scared you? What? Oh, yeah.

Well, maybe not scared me, but like the fact that my kids were there and who knows where this was going to go. There's some big dudes that were about to throw down. I didn't even want to wait to see. I'd probably get my phone out Yeah You would have Told my kids go to the car Yeah

Wait for them in the car I gotta see this Yeah I get it Dude I mean these guys It's funny because like Every time I get my kids to play I think it's just a perfect situation Because I have a 12 year old

And the 10 year old And they're about the same skill wise You know one of the older ones Just a little better Because he just has more experience But having them play one on one is like the best scenario for them. It makes them both better, but they always fight.

Like it always turns in to like a get off me bro situation. And like, I don't know how to do this. And then when I saw that fight, I'm like, I guess this never ends. You know, like the fight during a basketball game. I mean, I think I want to fight people when they take a pocket spot from me. I think it's a competitive if you get disrespected. Yeah, especially about your brother. Yeah.

You got to ref it. I try to. But I mean, to me, I'm like, all right, guys, one-on-one. This is good practice for both of you guys. It always ends up with like, he's friends. Fowling me. He's fouled me first. Okay, guys. You'd think the college football playoffs has ruined the excitement of the regular season? Yeah. You do? I do.

Oh, man, I don't at all. I'm ready for the playoffs. It's so exciting that all these teams still have a chance. Yeah. I don't necessarily hate the playoff by any means, but I'm just saying, like, even Ohio State, they're like, oh, this game is for everything against Michigan. It's like, not really. If Ohio State loses, they're still going to make it. Yeah, but the rivalry is what I felt like that was about. Yeah, but it added even more. Michigan would have gotten the playoff if they won.

This, oh, the other day? Yeah. Yeah. But then it wouldn't have done anything in the playoff. That's okay. I think it's added a lot to it because you have like 20 teams all still like in the mix that we're paying attention to. It's like exciting to watch.

Vanderbilt may not even make it. They've got, they're going to go, what, 10 and 2? They went 10 and 2? Yeah. But the grand scheme of things, it's like, okay, yeah, this is more fun. But when you look at it week to week, it's like, okay, if they lose, if they lose are okay. But do you feel like the playoffs in the NFL, because it's the same way?

Do you feel like it's less exciting because of the playoffs in the NFL? Do you feel like it should just be the best four teams in the NFL, play each other in a four-way? It doesn't take away from the playoffs to you, does it? No, it doesn't. But I don't know. Maybe it's a tradition thing for me with college football. I just loved how every single week was just like, this is it. This is the big week.

This is the big week. And then the next week could be the biggest week. And then just build up, build up. And then if you lose, it's like, oh, you're done. So it's just the change that you don't like. I've gotten used to it, but I still loved, like, the crazy upsets that ruined an Alabama season. Yeah, I just feel like I took too many fan bases out of being idiots. And I love idiots camping outside of Chancellor's homes.

Like, I love all that. And we, I mean, there's like 16, 17 teams right now that are still kind of in the mix. Maybe it's because I don't have like super loyal to a team either. That could be it. And mine could be because I know my team on every one through, 10, so I'm hoping to like at some point scrounge in. You got a shot? But I feel like I really like the playoffs.

Yeah, I do too. But like Texas, like, so do you think Texas will make the playoffs? No chance. Okay. I just feel like there, a lot of times it's like you're watching Texas or watching a team like Texas and be like, all right, week four, we're like, well, they lose one more, it's over. And then they beat

you know, A&M, you're like, ooh, could they be back? But you can't go, I'm not going to go into three lost team. There are too many two lost teams that aren't going to get in. And Texas did beat Vanderbilt, but... And they beat some good teams. That's the crazy part. You can't lose three games in a season like this year

and get into the playoff. Texas will not go in over Vanderbilt, even though they beat Vanderbilt, and they scheduled harder than Vanderbilt. You ever thought you would say that? No, never. That's crazy. But a three-lost team is not going to go in over a bunch of these two lost teams. Let us in. Let us in. Sark was politic, and soon as that game was over, he was like,

they will just not be the same. Why do we schedule it? Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah. The weird part's going to be if BYU beats Texas Tech, which I don't think they will. But if they do beat Texas Tech, BYU gets that spot and a lot of teams are left out. Because that's an at-large spot. Because Texas Tech is for sure. If they don't win their championship game, the craziest of all those, Duke going into the AC Championship.

Yeah, and they're like 500. They're like a little bit above 500. They lost to North Carolina State this year, which is in conference, but it wasn't counted as a conference game because it was already scheduled before the change conferences. Yeah, so they're a 500 team playing in the conference championship game. And if you win that championship, you're in. No, not necessarily the top, what, five conference champions go in. Yeah, it's the power four.

ACC could not have a person in the game if, like, James Madison is ranked over Duke. If Duke wins. If Virginia gets in, they're ranked high enough because they'll be ranked higher than the, I guess it's probably going to be James Madison. Anyway, I like it. I just wondered what Kevin thought about it. Yeah, more of a tradition. I guess. I like the old school. But you didn't have a team though.

It was easier to root for just big people to fall. Yes. If you don't have a team. Yeah, that's probably what it was. Did it suck when Tennessee lost or not really? Oh, man. No, because I was going to... Because you're not a fan. Because I got a shot to win two grand, baby.

You're not a fan. I was rooting for Diego more than anybody this weekend. Yeah, he should go to New York. Man, how crazy when Clark Clay said, we're here to win a national championship. And Diego Pavi was like, I'm here to win a Heisman and we're like, oh, great. Okay, guys. That's cute.

And now they're 10 and 2, and he's going to be in New York at the Heisman ceremony, I would assume. Yeah, he'll definitely be there. I mean, he sat in this chair and said that. Yeah, we're like, okay, dude. We're glad you came in, so we're not going to push back, but okay, dude.

Thanks for the helmet, dude. The NBA season is rolling, and Draft King's newest game, Pick 6 is the easiest way to play for your shot at Big Wins. Here's how it works. Pick more or less on two or more player stats. The better your picks, the bigger your payout.

I did. Yeah, first time, I've driven through there,

but first time outside of our work stuff that I've been there for multiple days. Where did you go? Heber Springs. I'm familiar. Why? My uncle lives there, actually. You guys met him when we were in Fayetteville? Oh, Uncle Willie.

Uncle Jerry. Uncle Jerry. Shout out, Uncle Jerry. He listened to this show all the time, actually, too. So, yeah, we went out there for a few days, surprised him, had a great time. Family flew in from Tahoe, from Boston all over, and we were there for a couple days. It was awesome.

What did you guys do? It was like the traditional Thanksgiving. Nothing, I mean, we don't have any... You didn't cook? No, I didn't cook. I cut the turkey for the first time, though. You were the one? I was the one, dude.

Have you ever done it? Yeah, every time. Really? I'm the head of the household, so I usually cut the turkey. Yeah. Do you have like a technique down? I start with the breast. It's right down the middle and then slice it.

And then end with all the dark meat. Okay. The legs. Why? What'd you do? I did legs first. Microwave. Oh, no.

You went legs first. I went legs first. Dude, it looked good. I watched a YouTube video, of course, while doing it. I was like, I got to figure out how to do this. But it looked really good and it tasted really good. Food was good. We were on the lake, too, so it was a good time.

The college ball playoff automatically includes the five highest ranked conference champions. They can come from any conference, power or group of five. So, SEC champ will get in for sure. Big 12. And whomever doesn't win will for sure get in. Big 10, Big 12. But if, let's say James Madison wins, and they're in the Sunbelt, I think,

if I'm just going from memory, if they're in the Sunbelt and they win and they're ranked higher than the ACC champ, I think it could keep the freaking ACC from having a team. Sunbelt, yeah. Man, that'd be wild if Duke wins the ACC.

In Miami's sitting out. Yeah. Yeah. All right. My foot is killing me. Like, it's even hard to concentrate on whatever you guys are saying because my,

we went to the Brett Eldridge show last night and I haven't walked around on it as much as I did like yesterday because we went, parked, walked in, did the thing where you have to sit in a seat. Do you get dropped off? No, we drove. No, no, no, like, does your wife drop you off the front from the door? No, she's pregnant.

I know, but you have the handicap. No. Okay. We had a pretty good parking spot because Brett's like, I got you a parking spot. Oh, okay, that's good. So we didn't like parking. That's nice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I haven't walked on it as much. Man, I woke up. First of all, the show didn't start until nine. Oh, wow. on a Sunday night. And we didn't get back or we'd have gone to another show

like Friday or Saturday. He does three shows. So I didn't get start until nine so I didn't get home until 11. 30.

So I didn't get a lot of sleep but my foot is just like this because it's the first time I've walked on it really this much. Do you have first day of school kind of like can't sleep?

For what? Like whenever you come back from like a little break? I kind of had that last night. Oh no. Because I had late night out And I was already like... I was tired.

I know I'm going to be sleepy and my leg is killing me but I wasn't going to miss that show. So, yeah, no, you guys have been talking to some Momo Jumbo. I haven't been here. Oh, that's good stuff. Really good stuff.

We talked to a little Arkansas, do you remember? I do remember all of it, but man, I'm not... My leg has kept me from me and totally focused. All right, we're done. Thank you all. Eddie, anything you want to add? Oh, man. We're good.

It's good to be back with you guys. I don't know there's anything that I miss. That Alabama Auburn game was good until the very, very end. bad fumble yeah I was asleep but I watched the majority of the game I was asleep for the two-point conversion with the no I wasn't asleep I was at the show I knew it was something the two-point conversion

that Broncos and commanders I saw Traylon Burks who played at Arkansas yeah dude great catch yeah I didn't see it live I just saw the clip but a hundred times I saw it live was amazing yeah yeah and they talked about how he didn't do so good in Tennessee but he's here now he's been hurt the whole time I was his first touchdown in three years really yeah first round draft pick he was awesome at Arkansas

Arkansas. Oh, those are the days. It makes me sad again. I'm hurting and I'm sad. It's cold outside. It is cold, man. Here's what I learned. People in Arkansas that claim they know crap don't know crap about what's happening with the program. Like nobody called it. It's probably like that everywhere. Nobody called it. People called the wrong. Nobody called it. So, all right. That's all. You guys have a great rest of the day. And if you got this far, send me a DM on Instagram.
