It is magical, and we're lucky that we get a chance to chat about it every single day.

0:17.8

It's not just me, and on this particular Wednesday there's a special

0:20.9

edition. And obviously the Toxic Table at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt, you are a special

0:27.2

duo, you know? And hey, my man, hair looks incredible. Nice, nice, good. I like to hear that.

0:33.5

She's minutes in the camera reflection, but that's okay. Thank you. Your hair looks incredible.

0:38.6

No, thank you.

0:39.0

My hair normally about the same, unless there's some little growth problem. And my hair just grows straight out. So I got to deal with that every single day. I got a bunch of cowlitz everywhere, over the place. So my hair, though, normally pretty similar. You have transformed what your bucket is from Hat, obviously, formerly Mollett, before Mollett, not Mollett guy at all. Then people remember, now you're just becoming long hair guy. We want to let you know. It looks good. Hey, thanks, man. I appreciate that. Good work to it all. Hey, long hair don't care. You know, I care about stuff. A lot of stuff. Yeah, a bunch of stuff. So I don't know. Like the Patriots. Let's not even get it. Yeah, like the Patriots. Dude, that long hair might be at a parade sooner than later. Nine-year NFL vet, host of Everything, DB, good, bad, D, and NFL matchups, which is available now. Right now. On ESPN Plus. Disney Plus. And if you're an early riser, 3.34 a.m. You can watch that thing on ESPN 2. Ladies and gentlemen, Darrys J. Bullard. Right before college game day, 830, we get a lot of times. I've been watching. I've been watching a lot of debutsch NFL matchups on Saturday mornings before I head out there.

1:46.3

Can't wait to be in Oregon, by the way. Hey, it'll be a short trip. Good trip. Oregon's very far. You know, we got a chance to experience him multiple times here now over the last couple years because of Dan Lannning and a powerhouse program. They're going to have seemingly forever. You know, Dan Lannings name used to come up for jobs because of how, you know, he's young and obviously very successful and everything like that. So his name was one like everywhere. Like, hey, this guy can be there for 20, 30 years. And Dan has come out every time and said, yeah, can be there 20, 30 years, this place right here, have everything you could potentially want. The only hurdle, the only hurdle. It is so far. May you. I mean, it is, but once you, everything, once you're there, okay? So you just got to kind of put yourself in a portal. You know, like that's how you got to view it. Like, all right, I'm signing up like the old days. We're forging the river here. This is Oregon Trail.

2:52.9

We're going all the way over there. Okay, this is a big one. And you want to be a settler, you know, even in the modern transportation ability, especially as, you know, the Rockies start getting a little rock here, always a little bit. So you go, you go. Oh, it's, you. Especially when it's pitch black when you're flying in night. It just, it looks like there's just nothing.

2:53.7

It's amazing.

3:12.3

You're just kind of looking out in a space, but it's down. You know, it's there. It's there, you know. So it's a fascinating little thing. But once you get there, okay, and I'm acting as if it is very strenuous to fly somewhere in 2025, I'm not. But I'm just saying it is a long haul to get there and a long haul to get back. But once you get there, everything about it is awesome.

3:14.3

I mean, it's beautiful.

3:15.3

The facilities, they're updating newer facilities.

3:17.3

So it's like everything they have once you land there is almost like an island of sorts.

3:22.3

Like, hey, we are an athletic island. And obviously,

3:26.0

with Nike support and everything they're able to do, they think they can run every sport for

3:30.5

long haul. I mean, that is the way they view it. And Dan Lanning's name's not even being mentioned,

3:36.1

right? There's a bunch of jobs open right now. A bunch of jobs. Florida, LSU, Penn State still open. And Dan Lannings name is not one that's being chatted about because Dan has come out so strong multiple times been like, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. I love it up here. They got a huge one this weekend with USC coming into town. Need to win. Need to win to keep that thing right. Great McAfee motivation this morning, too. Thank you for start my morning off like that. Maybe you can pre-record like 47 of those on the flights over. Okay. And as soon as Coach Kiffin mentioned that yesterday, like, hey, maybe you create one. I used to do a good morning beautiful tweet, beautiful people tweet every morning, but it wasn't

4:14.7

really, you know, it was every day saying message, hey, we're going. Let's get rid of the bumps. Let's enjoy this shit. And let's go for it. You know, then Coach Kiffin has that, the lady who writes the pivot year, which is one motivational message a day. Brianna. There it is, yeah. So he said, well, won't you make one? I said, great, another job. But I have had a morning routine that I've kind of been able to stick to. And I get into this sauna here, 194 degrees that got up to this morning. Okay, 194 degrees. Your hair follicles are hot there. You know, everything's hot. So there's a lot of you time in there as you're just kind of cooking. It's an interesting time. And I see, no, I can't put some life thoughts together. Had to do a couple times because phone obviously overheated. Yeah. Had to put it down by the door. And shout out to rich guy who built house that I moved into. Great job on this thing. Would have never been able to accomplish what he has accomplished on this.
