Playing Vanderbilt and the way Vanderbilt looked like last week against Austin P they may be in a little trouble but Austin P.I. will say is a top 15 ranked FCS team no excuse for Vanderbilt but still Tennessee's Georgia Tech that may be one of the best games the weekend matchup wise you got lots at LSU Georgia Tech had their hearts ripped out in week one to where they zero yeah they played in week zero they got beat by can't remember but you're right it was SMU SMU's first game was for to state why am I why am I messing that wasn't it yeah you're right I could be wrong but I think it was I think I think Florida state had played a zero week game and so you did not but I could be wrong Ohio State Texas though that's the biggest game the weekend one of my talking about 14 13 to Colorado That's what it was that was the right the blog the field blog yes that's right you're totally right Ohio states at Texas that is a 630 kick on EBC should be great last year of course was that Stale made of sorts that was won by the home team nobody could move the ball in that game no I remember it like it was yesterday

Southern misses at Auburn that could be interesting Southern miss has Blake Anderson is an offensive coordinator now Oh that's right he was how long was how long go did he leave Utah State a couple years ago Under some controversy I remember that but Utah State sucks now so that's what they get is it you see the head coach I can't remember you might be the head coach you looked at up I don't remember well Southern missed it after a place their head coach because that's Charles Who left from Memphis and he was on that Southern Miss for a year so I think I think is a head coach that's right I texted him when he got the job I was so happy for him but now I forgot because my brain is you know mush Charlotte is at Ole Miss Charlotte's Oh and one there I don't think they're particularly good this year and what else we got Missouri Kansas which oh my God I show filled the video have you seen this this high video that that Kansas put out Moose I saw a reaction to but I didn't see the actual video yet I mean they're playing up the rival read to its very roots yes literal roots they are basically saying

Missouri you were on the wrong side of history nice job supporting the South and the Civil War we were over here winning and we also didn't believe in some of the tenants of the WS it was I've never seen like it for a sports promotion I really have it I mean they're calling one there's calling one side good and one side evil literally I never seen anything like it is you got to watch the video I mean I can't even do it justice and I mean and the visuals they've got in it it is incredibly well done it's probably a little aggressive for my taste but that's how you do a rivalry like that align rivalry really all right the who does who's real right this is an actual rivalry they're actually playing their rival this weekend I was curious if it was like they're doing this to kind of take their take Missouri's mind off it because now you got to kind of defend like hey we're not into that sorry all like you've got to make a statement almost after the game it's like they're going to get asked about this now so it's kind of we should almost pull the audio and play it is it's remarkably aggressive hello how are you

it is I've never seen quite like it is pretty amazing before we get into the entertainment report can I talk about something entertaining last night with Suwiski Myers thanks to my buddy Chris Givens for providing me a spot with him I had to hang out with him that was the only downside but it was it was good and listen I'm not there's a couple things I want to say first of all that's a nice setting I've seen some really good shows down there I'm getting a lot of have lake provinces from people here because of I think I'm sure like everybody's got to take it there. Come on. There's a certain percentage of our kensins who've been stopped in lake Providence. Yeah, it's over 25% my guess. Yeah. Anyway, last night I went to this concert. It was really good. And again, the record company, if you ever get the chance to see them, I think they'll be headlining and then not too distant future. They're really good. But whiskey Myers was great. I was really good. But I got to take issue with one. First of all, we need more shows down there. I guess with my main point of all list. Agreed. It is. It is really a nice spot because a lot of people like, we like to end, but we need we go to the amp all the time. It's like, well, I don't know why we can't get

market programming here. And I realize they've got Walmart money behind them that always helps. Yeah, I mean, it's a much larger facility. But to your point, we do need a place for big, big, out to our concerts. I have to take issue with the drink options at the amphitheater, though. And I know it's not just about the alcohol, but I like to have a couple beers when I'm at a show. And I like to have a couple beers last night, but I didn't like to be your options. I like bushlight. I grew up on it, but it's still like, that's not chief among my options if I can choose. They had ultra, they had bush light and they had second rodeo. They're all super light beers. Can we get a craft beer with some flavor in it mixed in there? So we get a couple of them throwing a bud heavy. I mean, you got second rodeo. There's a bunch of great craft beer at last 40. You can pick a local brewery. I don't care. But you should have something else as an option. Also, there's only two points of sale that I could see. And the lines were insane. You need more points of sale. Also, can we please get that together? And then only have this cup waters. And I'm like, I don't drink peach margaritas typically out of a can. They didn't have one shelter. And shelters are all the rage. I don't know

if anybody knows. I don't think anybody that drinks is actually programming what's available at these shows. But anyway, those that was a minor complaint. But you got to get that worked out. I will also say it was quite the crowd last night. It was it was almost or maybe a little bit better than fair watching. It was there were a lot of cargo shorts and tattoos at the whiskey marshal last night. I'm going to tell you come on. Nothing's better than the fair. It was something to see. It was something to behold. I'm telling you, man, it was it was wild. It really was. But anyway, just I don't want to see more shows down there. Really every time I go, I'm like, this is so fun. I love it. Oh, I'm still working on my plate. I appreciate you. We'll take a plate to go. That's for sure. Hang on, hang on. J W says he's on hold. No, J W. I did not see you on hold because I ran outside to get lunch and I apologize. But let's get you on. And then we'll do the entertainment report. What's up, man? I got about three or four things I want to discuss. You'll shortly. And I'm glad you brought up the whole Missouri and just think because I just read an article about how many people are getting turned off of just sports in general because of

there was a list of NIL issues court issues, political issues, and it's just not the same. And it was a big rod of I was wondering if you seen that because the old I did the percentage of people that put into that was a large amount of people that's turned away from sports and mainly because of gambling too. My second thing is, have you heard on Quincy Road? Is it going to be 100% or I think that's going to be a big difference, Mike? Do you have you heard anything? Yeah, J W, like because this isn't an SEC game, there's no availability reports. So they don't have to they don't have to talk about it. I don't know. I don't remember silver field and even really being asked about it much except for earlier this week. And that was all about what we'll see what happens Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't remember hearing anything about it on the coaches show yesterday, but you know, you saw that sleeve on his right shoulder last week. So that's definitely front of mind for me. And I want to I want to get to my last thing here. And you know,

we can start about the first week, but let's go back and look at the scores. There's a lot of zip of a lot of high school teams get beat by the super duper teams. And the SPNs they what made me want to say something is my name is 800 plus record dollars of all. Who does a play? Why do they worry by beating up on high school teams? And do you ever see that changing way with the Nile Eldon stuff is now with people getting paid and schools are getting money different ways? I just I just don't think it's fair for a husband team to go and beat up somebody and score 800 yards in the end say, Hey, look, I got a lot of yards, but who does you play? I just wonder if they take in the account for playing crappy teams that back in your pads and I just I'm really it. Who won't make a really starting to about the third or fourth week of when it kicks off? I mean, there might be a game here in there like Miami and Ole Miss or something and our Louis ville and Ole Miss or something, but Texas and Ohio State this week really. It's pretty cool. It's really not worth the watch and that's all I

got guys now. I'm not telling disagree. I don't care if your team's playing. It's worth watching and yes, I don't know that Miami should be padding itself on the back for running up 850 yards on Florida A&M. I already saw play that team a couple years ago and more you remember. But I bet they're not probably that proud of it. It's I mean, ESPN, it's more of a marveling at it than going while that's really great and that proves how good Miami is, but it is a lot. I mean, you almost have a thousand yards of offense in a game by one team that's pretty insane. Obviously that was a gross mismatch. And again, you never know you're here. You make these schedules five six seven ten years out. You don't know what kind of team you're going to have that year. And obviously you would have expected that Florida A&M was not going to be up to the task, but who would have ever seen that they would be that that much with mismatch. 77 to 77 the final by the way. And they short the fourth quarter to 10 minutes. And pay off though is that the team got paid. That's why there's a lot. Yeah, they got paid a ton. Yeah, they got paid like I mean for how that that letter department stays afloat. Well, for an FCS team, it was like 500 and something thousand, or I think was what it was, maybe 700,000. Yeah, it was a lot

for an FCS match up because typically you're getting some arbitrage. I think three to 500,000 max for an FCS team. And I think that I want to say, let me find my notes because I had it, I think I want to say they got like 700 grand, but I give you wrong. The other question that JW had about people turning away from sports. I keep hearing about this. Yeah. Yeah. But the television ratings and the attendance, it doesn't say that people are turning away from sports. I'm not saying that some aren't. Yeah. And then some people do get turned off by the gambling and by the feeling that college sports has changed. A lot of people said they weren't going to be watching the NFL, you know, 10 years ago for whatever reason they chose. NFL ratings are great. Like they shrugged that off like a bad cold. So as college football with the ratings, people, people are watching. Yeah, they still are. The number is according to one report, 720,000 dollars. That is an exorbitant amount of money from a team to play to pay an FCS team to come play. That is a

gigantic payday for a school at that level. So as Jim Carrey once famously said in a movie, thanks, I can have another hit me again. I can I have another? I mean, you think you think the Florida and M1 playing again next week for another hundred seven, seven, seven, twenty grand, but they would have to get you we're going to have to get to a place somehow where FCS athletic departments aren't subsidized by the one pay game they get each year. Because it's such a major part of think of how they are able to fund their teams. Basketball is way, way, way, way more important and more more money and more and much harder too, because they play like eight or nine of those games. But I think there's going to be a point where so let's say that there's a college football super league, okay? You're not going to be doing the super league against FCS anymore. That won't happen any longer because they will just play teams within the super league to determine who makes the playoffs. Maybe, maybe not. And at that point, the FCS schools are going to have to find another way to make half a million dollars a year. Well, they're I mean, again, they're making money in basketball, you know,

they're making five six seven and some of these schools, small schools with small budgets are paying in another plane eight or nine or 10 games. I'm watch watch what you know, you see a cut back a little bit. They used to do that kind of but watch what I don't know what you a P.B.s basketball schedule is, but I guarantee coach Bozeman's got him playing a bunch because again, you got to make that money. Well, they don't play a home game until yeah, December. That's the other thing that's challenging. All right, let's do entertainment real quick. The phones are ringing off the hook here at at Royal home improvement. My goodness, the coinciding with us being on the air partially because well, everybody's outside eating catfish and hanging out. 30th anniversary party is underway.

Check them out on Facebook and Instagram or stop by Bellenswords new and larger location at 10 11 Oak Street. Henry Winkler is reflecting on a decades-long

tension apparently between he and Tom Hanks and mowing over whether the relationship can be repaired. I had no idea they had a rift. Sir, telling me they weren't bosom buddies. Cute. In a new interview on in-depth with Graham Ben Singer, Winkler touched on being fired as the director of Turner and Hooch had no idea. Said he wasn't feeling he said he had a feeling that he wasn't suited to direct the film but was handpicked by a paramount executive. I went completely against my tummy, he says, and it hit me in the face with a 2 by 4. I now meet the puppies and I did meet with Tom Hanks and I at that time being insecure, I talked too much and I gave them direction. I did what I thought was my job and I wanted to do it over again and apparently that pissed them off. And in 13 days of filming I'm called into the studio and he said it's not in the daylies and then I go to the set I get my things I drive home. So basically Jeffrey Katzenberg can do. And so apparently he and he and Hanks apparently are never mended the fence after that. Thanks. You amiga beef. Yeah. You don't mess the fonts. Hanks. It's amazing to two of the most well-liked actors

in Hollywood and he had apparently the kids tan each other. Yeah. I don't know whose side I would take in that either direction. They are brother. I love and hey did he say tummy? Bill. He said tummy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Did you get that Harley? Did you hear that? He said when he went home he was so upset that he made a bar. All right. Billy Joel disclosed the other went brain surgery to alleviate the neurological condition that signlined him since last year. The veteran music man says um that initially he said when they asked about the brain surgery he said because they want to put a shunt in there apparently and now they have. I said nah I passed on that. I didn't want to do that but then I read up on it and I realized it can help improve your balance and help your memory so I agreed to the shunt and I had a surgery and they implanted the shunt in my brain and I actually improved things. Now he doesn't say that he's going to perform again but I hope that he does. He bet I would love for him to perform again. I would love to see him. This is one more new song. Now we're going to figure out how to fix uh Huey Lewis's ears so he can perform again because he's got some condition where he can't hear. He's death. I'm going to be great for the two of them to go in tour together after they get this fixed up. Yeah.

But he does expect a very strong showing from the defense this weekend.

If there's any confidence that I have, and it's just because of my personal experience with Ron, having coached against him and knowing him and knowing his philosophy, he will have his kids prepared. They will be in the right spots. They will rally to the football. And every week he's going to have something a little unique, a little nuance that you talk in most coaches are like this. But Ron seems to have that ability to hone in on something that a lot of people don't see. And that's what makes his defense is so effective over the years. I have confidence that Arkansas's defense will be prepared this week. And that's not that I don't have confidence that they're offense. I just think they've got more things to fix this week. And going on a road against a very tough environment, physical football team. But if the SEC is a, you know, if Arkansas is going to have any success, they're going to have to control the line of scrimmage on both sides this week. Yeah, they've been from him. Absolutely. I don't remember this.

Apparently we had an issue. I don't know, was there a mistake? Was there an incident? I don't know this one. With what? A spill of some sorts. I'd say Clint Cump. Appreciate him. Nice job, Moose. And fill you doing okay. All right, we're back after this. Yeah, let's get it. Feeling good today, man. I feel okay. But for the upper left side of my face, this is still numb. It's great trying to drink coffee and having it like slip out the side like it. You're drooling. It's so fun. I spilled all over my pants. You're fine, dude. You don't even have an excuse. No, none whatsoever. I'm just an idiot. Luckily, we're both wearing shorts of that. It happens, man. I just have worn three pairs of shorts this week. A spilled food or something on every pair. It's okay. Fill is going to be all at Twitter on Monday. You don't have to forgive him in advance. Because Lin Swan, Pittsburgh Steelers legend, is coming to town. And we're going to have a chance to interview him. It's going to be fantastic. I'm very excited about it. This last Monday, we got to talk to Gus Malzum, which is also a treat. He is a fine gentleman, and we enjoyed having him on the show. Here's Gus on the success and how coaches get there.

What do they say? They ain't the X's and the O's. It's Steve. What's the other stuff that Jimmy's in shows? Guys, this coach is way overrated. If you got good players, you're a lot smarter. If I got Cam Newton playing quarterback, guys, I'm really, really good. If I got somebody average, I'm pretty average. But no, I just look back. I mean, the Lord has blessed me unbelievably. I'm an Arkansas high school football coach. I mean, that's who I am at my core that got the opportunity coach college. And I think back at Hughes, I had great players. And I only had about 15 of them, but they could play. They go to Shallow. You know, I've got Josh Floyd. I got Red Lashley. I mean, they don't go to Springdale. And I've got those guys. And they were unbelievable. I mean, that's one of the best high school teams. I think I've seen even now. I was just watching. And I got a chance to coach those guys. And just like I said, I go to college and I get to coach Derek McFadden, who's Jones and Peyton Ellis. I tell people, my wife got to coach those three. And she had been pretty good. Right. And that's how good they were. And this ever stopped by being. I've been real blessed. I love it. All right.

Carry it on here now. No, that's right. We had an old Miss Fan that went viral during the game the other night. You know, it doesn't take much. There was a line in a song. I was like, dude, it's like, oh, it's a Toby Keith line. And he's like spoole cup with coffee, make a million dollars. I mean, it just doesn't take much to get famous anymore. It seems like I'm still struggling at it. But anyway, look, producers are always looking for attractive women to show in the stands anyway. Well, they found one. She is certainly that. At least that's what people do. I was football fan who went viral during the old Miss game has opened up on her 24 hours of fame. Sarah Smith, who went viral after an ESPN camera person showed her in the stands during the old Miss game. She was doing her version of the surrender cobra. Surrender cobra. She said, let's go through my favorite DMs over the last 24 hours. Put a TikTok out. God fearing 6 1, 260 business owner 500,000 take home annual. She says thanks to the credentials. Second DM going to whole foods. Want me to pick you up anything? Third DM bankrupt to me. One user asked her favorite brand of bag to buy and perish. She said Louis Vuitton someone also suggested they could save Smith

while adding don't be so sad. Beautiful. She says, I don't think you can save me from what this football season is about to look like. And I'm like, you guys are off to a good start. You're one on oh, one of the game. You need a good team. Yeah. So she got no ball. Him Anderson all over again. She is attractive. I will give her credit for that. Now she don't know ball. Well, it depends what you're looking for. I wish Muscle was around to find now. Senior. I would hear the drool dropping in a microphone. I think Lane Kiffin is only one of those DMs. Where the hottie said. Where the hottie's at. I don't think he says it. I think he grew out of that. And that was only in Tuscaloos anyway. He's a new man in the awkward. Yeah. All right. He's been a new man like eight times. We talked about Arkansas against Utah. Bill Riley, the voice of Utah football join us. He was fantastic. He talked about their backup QB bird. Ficklin, what a name. Why is a weapon? It's what he is. And you're right. He had offers to go a lot of different places. He and Dan Peer are best friends. And I think Kevin McGiven, the new office and coordinator did a really good job of spelling him on.

You're going to play quarterback for us, but you're also going to be on the field in a lot of different ways. You guys watched the game last week against Idaho. There were probably seven or eight bets where he and Dan Peer are in the back field lined up in the quarterback position at the same time. They're also lining Ficklin up as a running back. They're also lining him up in the squad. He's got a live arm. And he's right now probably the air parents next year when Dan Peer's done to go and assume that spot. And maybe you'll see him Saturday night placed in quarterback two and a motion Dan Peer out. But he's a weapon. He's too good an athlete. He played last year when Dan Peer got things up at a few games. In limited amounts of time, he ran for over 500 yards. 10 touchdowns. He's got a really live arm. So he's too good a player, really and truly to keep on the sideline. And that's why Kevin McGeeven's you're like and giving a lot of different way. All right, we got to hit a break. 1243. I want to play the clip of me and make it fun of football. But we're not. Let's move on.

Let's move on. Let's get to it. You got to take a center of the break. And then we're going to come back. We're going to talk to Tiger. And we're going to do what's on tap.

And of course, it is our choice. That's our place to go when we want to get in the game a little bit with some of these. I think Arkansas, what do we say? 12 and a half is at the line. 12 and a half was the last. I saw it this morning. Let me double check and see if it's changed. I don't know if there's enough action on that game

to move it much. I'll be curious to see what Texas and Ohio State goes off. I think the action started. What an an eight and a half point line on Sunday. And it's up to 12 and a half. I mean, it got up to double digits really quickly. Yeah. Yeah. It seems appropriate. Arkansas did not impress. I guess on Saturday last week. So that's part of it. All right, Tiger. Cheers, you all, baby. It's my show. They have love it. I appreciate you. Who is that again? All star catfish here in hot springs Mark and Amanda Tittle. I'll be honest, that chicken tender was out of this world. Yeah, I just ate the fish and the shrimp. I didn't eat any of that chicken. It was good. It was all good. But it's all good. It looked good. But I'm the light eater right now. I understand. I wanted to give some love out to the rest of the vendors that helped me out. And one in particular is a citizens bank who actually made this possible for me to purchase this company, Josh Baker, the president, and Blake Canceler, the vice president here in town in hot springs. Arkansas, Tent, Rinal, Tom Daniel, and Little Rock. He set us up our tents. He'll be picking those back up.

The ice cream truck, Shelley Fedders from Sherwood. She's here today. Is she the one with all the bubbles? The bubbles. She's got the bubble machine. Yeah, she makes bubbles. All star catfish. Again, I just mentioned Mark and Amanda. Ron Sharman himself was here today. He's been associated with Royal Home Improvement for 28 years. Bumdwin, missed him. Yeah. You missed him? Yeah. Everyone else got their picture taken with him. Let me tell you a story real quick. Ron Sharman approached Randy Perkale 28 years ago. He said, hey, Randy, you want bigger business and more business? Let me do a radio or a TV advertising for you. And he said, I tell you what, I won't charge you a penny. But if it works out, I'll have charge you. I think it's worked out. Oh, it's worked out. It worked out. It's been tremendous. And he was here today. And that meant a lot to me and my family. And Sheila, his wife was here. And design's lab.

Y'all know design's lab. Yeah. Steve calls. Steve calls. Steve company. Steve and I've been friends for a long time. But it was a big turnout. Even though the weather we needed the rain, it ended up being nice and cool. Yeah, it's beautiful up there now. So, I'd rather be wet with a little rain than wet with sweat. No doubt. That's a good take. I like that. I appreciate you all taking the time and giving me that five-finger discount you gave me for coming out today. Brother, you're the best. I appreciate you having us. Yeah. So are you going to watch the football this weekend? Or are you going to be working all weekend? I'm going to work this weekend, but in between. It's dudes and animals. I'll be listening to the game. I was going to ask. I do need to ask an important question. How long does the sale go with the free labor? Through September. Through this month. All right. After this month, it goes to 30% off. God, the labor. So by now. By now. That's a huge savings. That's a big deal. If you've got to get Windows done or siding done or anything to your home from an improvement standpoint, if you get free labor, I mean, it's going to save you a ton.

A ton right now. Yeah. A real ton. Absolutely. All right. We got to do our what's on tap. We're going to tell everybody what to watch. I appreciate you all. Thank you, man. You do catfish well. I guess a lot of things well. He also can go without sleeping well, which is amazing to me. This guy's an animal seriously. No kidding. He gets the job done, whatever it takes by any means necessary. Well, this is a guy that you can tell us this when you own the what are you working hours? Whenever I'm alive working. I want to play this bizarre clip. And then we'll do what's on tap first. And then we'll get to that. But this guy. There's an MMA guy that apparently has been asked to do something that I've never really heard of before. And he's really relishing the opportunity. But hold on for on that. Let's do what's on tap first. What's on tap highlighting the biggest sporting events each day is brought to you by Flyway Brewing with locations in our agenda. Reconridge Village, Memphis, Fayetteville, and Bentonville. For more info, go to FlywayBrowing.com. Fresh beer starts there. Follow the migration.

OK. Here we go. Pittsburgh and the Cubs are playing at 1 o'clock today, Phil. Go Bucks. Yeah, it's OK. The other Chicago team. Well, it's a bad time right now. The Cubs are slipping. And Pittsburgh is rising. And the wild card race is getting a little too tight for my comfort level. The Phillies lead the wild card race behind the braves, of course, in their division. But they're the number one wild card team right now. And they are cruising on up. And they did a great job yesterday knocking off the white socks. But Hagen Smith at his park. But anyway, I was looking at that. And it's very, very concerning. I'm really nervous that the Cubs are going to completely blow this deal. I have to be OK. You think so? I do. I do. I don't know what'll happen in October, but I do think they'll make it there. They've got a two and a half game lead on the Padres for the third spot. And then the Diamondbacks are a half game out of the wild card. And your guys, the pirates are 4 and a half out. So it's certainly not done yet. All right. So that's one game today. That's at 1 o'clock next on the Major League Baseball Network. At 6 o'clock, Philly had it land on speaking of the two division.

Leaders over in the NL East. And then we've got College Football tonight. Bill and Ova is at Louisville. Who's the most famous Bill and Ova alum? Football? Yeah. I have no clue. Yes, you do. In terms of football? Defensive line Oakland Raiders. Not how we long. He went to Villanova Island. I know. Richmond is at NC State tonight at 6 o'clock on ESPNU. By the way, the Louisville games on the ACC Network. ESPN two hosting Rutgers and Boston College to the Worth programs in college football. And the Missouri Kansas game with the great hype video is going to play out on the airwaves tonight. That's some good old seven feet. Remember mine with the, which is the rival really called that Georgia Georgia Tech? Maybe I'll spend another evening with Chris Givens, the proud Missou alum and watch that with him. I don't know. We'll see. And that's really about it there. As far as the hars go, tomorrow we start our coverage at. It's 5 o'clock. Yep. With Hogman's game day. And then it's Learfield pregame. It's six kickoff will be 9 15.

Ish. And then Randy goes until like Monday morning practically. No doubt. Don't forget St. Francis at Bryant tonight. That is the buzz game of the week followed by the high school scoreboard show. Traves are over on buzz two tonight at 650 with first picks at 7. And then tomorrow in addition to the razorbacks we've got. UCA football against Central Oklahoma. Inconway, 5 o'clock on the point 94.1. And then a state playing West Georgia out of the. A son at 5 30 for the pregame of the 6 o'clock. Nickoff in John the Burle. Just in question of the day today was what will happen tomorrow in the Arkansas Utah game hogs beat the youths hogs cover and lose Utah wins and covers 58% of Utah wins and covers 25% think Arkansas will cover and lose. Well, but at point spread. Okay, cover at least. Hey, moves. How long is that clip too long? Now we got time. Okay, this is the thing I was just talking about this an MMA. I guess like an amateur MMA guy anyway.

He's been asked to do something very odd and he really is excited about the opportunity. This is an interesting way to end the week admittedly, but here we are. I've been talking back and forth. These dudes overseas and they have access to a chimp who's been attacking people. This chimp is a large male chimp. It's been attacking people. This is I couldn't see a more perfect opportunity. I want the scariest, most aggressive chimp because I don't want anyone after I do this to be still, you know, saying, oh, it wasn't a mean one. No, I am going to go to where these guys are and we're going to set this up and I am going to take this chimp and do horrible things this animal. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yeah, now I don't even know why we played that. I just thought it was a funny clip. The fact that he wants to do it and apparently it's a bad chimp. He's been been mean to people. I get that maybe the chimp has caused some problems, but this is kind of a loose loose. Like either you murder an animal and you're kind of a punk for that or you get murdered by an animal. There's no there's no winning here for him. You already know it's premeditated too because it's out there. Right. Yeah, it's a weird deal.

Chimp ripped your arms off like pretty easily. Yeah, you don't. Yeah, he's don't want to mess with him. This guy is a woman that's a bactically or it was an orangutan or a chimp that ripped your face off. It was her pet. It was a pair of those tired of being a pet. Don't forget TV wise this weekend again, CBS early. This is all what's going to air locally in the market on your TV without any services, any special packages or anything. CBS is Buffalo, Houston and then the late game screen bay, Minnesota, Fox early new New Orleans Detroit and the Eagles hosting Washington as your late game on Fox. Tony Rommel by the way, not appearing on any of these broadcasts. Just what things watching. What's up? All right, is Joe there? Right here. How are you guys doing? We're good, man. Chris Joe wrapping it up here at Royal Humman Prove, but what are you doing today? Hey, it's always good to be here on a Friday, right? To get out of here. Oh, we have at least Sterling coming up and he's going to give us some picks. Sully will join us from KATV Neil Atkinson. James Miller. Trace Shap is going to make some picks with us and Moose is going to hang around for a bit
