Stanley spent his life in the South. Wranglin

0:03

would ever laugh through Adam, but nothing

0:05

prepared him for the fight against E

0:07

.D. Shane practically hunched

0:09

him over. Amon Pills just gave him

0:11

a headache. He begged for a

0:13

life line. Well, maybe it's over.

1:23

number three, Josh and

1:25

Swain is here. So we're about

1:27

love on this show, right Swain? All the

1:29

time. Love for the people. That's right. Spreading

1:31

it. Peace and love. Peace and

1:33

love. But man, the sports hate lives

1:36

heavy in the hearts because as soon as we

1:38

brought up, Basketball

1:40

players you either rooted against or you just

1:42

hated whatever. Yeah, great now. That's a good

1:44

one. Yeah, we got a Grayson Allen. Yeah,

1:46

that's that's that's that's a good one. Yeah,

1:48

and I was thinking SEC when we were

1:51

having the conversation when I brought up Givante

1:53

smart but stepping outside the conference Eli mentioned

1:55

we had multiple texts immediately that said Zach

1:57

E .D. So yeah, you step outside the

1:59

SEC from what I remember Tennessee fans

2:01

weren't fond of idiot Purdue. Yeah,

2:04

he didn't bother me When he

2:06

just he played hard No,

2:08

he wasn't dirty. He's actually proven to be a lot

2:10

better than people wanted to give him credit for. He

2:12

had a nice work of year with the Grizzlies because

2:14

the joke was against him. Well, this is it for

2:16

him. He's never going to be able to play in

2:18

the NBA. And he was a high draft pick and

2:20

played a lot. So he deserves a ton of credit

2:22

for that. But then,

2:25

yeah, Joe Kim Noah came in. That

2:27

goes back a little bit farther. But

2:29

yeah, for sure. He was a hated

2:31

player on the Gators. And

2:34

then to go along with Chad Baker, Mazzara,

2:36

Katie Johnson was one that fans didn't enjoy

2:38

very much. Oh, he didn't bother me. He

2:41

was not that good. Another joke him Noah comes

2:44

in. So yeah, he is, he is one of

2:46

the most hated in the other. I like Katie

2:48

Johnson. mean, he, dude, he was a great player

2:50

for Tennessee. Shoot

2:53

that thing, Katie. Let

2:55

it fly, baby. Keep firing at that. Keep

2:57

letting it loose. Let your 29 % go.

2:59

Yes. So we can start this fast break.

3:01

Go on the other way. Yeah, there's a

3:04

text for Marshall Henderson. That was the name

3:06

I brought up last segment. I enjoyed him.

3:08

I enjoyed his presence. I got kicked out

3:10

of Marshall Henderson. Yeah, he was what the

3:13

league needed at the time with where SEC

3:15

basketball was a little more than a decade

3:17

ago. Yeah, he didn't bother me. Some Edie,

3:19

some Joachim Noah votes coming in. This

3:22

is on everybody's list probably if you go

3:24

all time. Christian Leitner, he is a first

3:26

team, all -American, all -hated player. And then

3:28

you mentioned Grace and Alan. You could really

3:30

just do the Duke team. And

3:32

then everybody else because reddick was one

3:35

of those guys. I mean, I like

3:37

reddit I Like dudes who can shoot

3:39

it and I love the fact that

3:41

he played villain and you know people

3:44

would Make signs talking about his sister.

3:46

Mm -hmm, and he busted him for

3:48

30 points. He was a baller I

3:50

love that. Yeah He did an interview

3:52

sometime I guess during the season or

3:55

I saw the clip during the season

3:57

with the podcast and it was younger

3:59

players who were hosting and they asked

4:01

him about his game, how good he

4:04

was. And he just said, well, I

4:06

was the McDonald's All -American MVP. Then

4:09

I went to Duke. was an All -American. Then

4:12

10 to 15 years in the NBA. It was ACC, all

4:14

-time leading scorer when he left. Yeah, he's great. So

4:17

yeah, he was a player. No doubt. But

4:19

people didn't like him. I do recall that. And then

4:22

we got a, what did you think of Mark Sears?

4:24

We got a Mark Sears. Mark

4:28

Sears became annoying to

4:30

me, but I admired

4:32

his game. He kind

4:35

of had a game

4:37

like Big Body Brunson,

4:40

but could shoot it. Just

4:42

real methodical, could finish around

4:44

the basket. I'm

4:47

not a fan of the

4:49

exaggerated trying to draw the

4:52

foul. That's

4:54

not what I

4:56

enjoy. to watch, but

4:58

I didn't dislike Mark Sears. He just

5:00

became annoying. Yep. And then Ben down

5:02

in Chattanooga said Ben Simmons, a

5:05

lot of people don't like Ben Simmons. It's gotten

5:07

worse. Yeah. And his, his career has gone, gone

5:09

the wrong route. So, uh, yeah, hated basketball players.

5:11

I understand something that came up last segment. Jalen

5:14

Carey is a newcomer to Tennessee. He'll

5:16

be on that list for opposing teams

5:19

this upcoming year. No, I love me

5:21

some Jalen Carey. Now, uh, a Mark

5:23

Sears, you don't like him, a

5:25

Marshall Henderson, You know, like him, you

5:28

feel like you can do something about it. You don't like Jalen

5:30

Kerry. You just got to do with it. You're not going to

5:32

do anything about it with Jalen Kerry. He is a big dude

5:34

that can back it up. That's right. He is what Tennessee needed.

5:37

That's right. I'm curious to see what the

5:39

start line was going to look like. And

5:42

what's all this Jordan Ganey talk,

5:44

man? It's this more and more

5:46

of it. Kind of just hanging out there. Was

5:49

Rick asked about Jordan Ganey? I

5:52

haven't seen all of his media

5:54

appearances. So

5:57

he might have been a in one

5:59

setting that I haven't seen But he

6:01

is he's kind of hanging out there.

6:04

There's questions of hey could any of

6:06

those guys come back? But Zekai, Ziko,

6:08

Mai Meishak, Chas Lanier for sure. Yeah,

6:10

they have already begun the process of

6:12

Training out of town with their eyes

6:15

on what's gonna happen next at the

6:17

professional level the Jordan Ganey Talk has

6:19

been out there because he was also

6:21

in a video on tiktok that

6:24

had a caption alluding to one

6:26

more season. Yeah,

6:29

that's, I mean, it's been, it's

6:31

been out there, man. It's been

6:34

out there. It's funny because like

6:36

fans want players to come back

6:38

and the players are like, no,

6:41

I'm, I'm, I'm good. I don't

6:43

really want to come back. I'm

6:45

ready to move on. Yeah.

6:51

I mean, realistically, like Zekai Ziegler

6:53

as an example, both sides have

6:55

just moved on. Tennessee has brought

6:57

in Jacobi Killespie. It wouldn't really

6:59

make sense for either party. Tennessee

7:02

or Zekai. No. Because Tennessee

7:04

has a high level point guard that's come

7:06

in to take that spot. So they've both

7:08

moved on and they knew that that was

7:11

the case. Yeah, they're paying a good amount

7:13

of money, too, because the market shot up

7:15

a little bit more this past season. So,

7:17

yeah, Tennessee made that investment. With

7:21

the car the best he'll always

7:23

be a legend here. Mm -hmm,

7:26

and Jacobi can be one too

7:28

It's a good thing that there's

7:30

a process before you like retire

7:32

people's numbers and you kind of

7:34

let them have some time before

7:37

Doing that cuz I'll think about

7:39

like Shadr Sanders in Colorado It's

7:41

kind of weird I Think it's

7:43

very weird. Yeah, very weird. I'm

7:45

not meaning to bring up Shadr

7:48

Sanders even though I just did

7:51

But thinking about the cause legacy

7:54

here eventually that's gonna be a

7:56

conversation that You know will be

7:58

had and it'll be more serious

8:00

than us just having it. Mm

8:02

-hmm But I didn't think about

8:04

sure they're saying it's because they

8:06

retired his jersey and he hadn't

8:08

been away from Colorado for a

8:10

full year yet, so Anyways, yep

8:12

speaking of jerseys. I haven't seen

8:14

an update in 24 hours, but

8:16

this time yesterday phonetic fanatics said

8:18

that his jersey was the highest

8:21

selling of the rookies from the

8:23

draft through four or five days,

8:25

whatever. Did you tell me this

8:27

off the air yesterday? Off the

8:29

air, yep. I saw it right

8:31

after our show ended yesterday. Yeah,

8:34

my response is the

8:36

same today as it

8:38

was yesterday. Why

8:41

would I want to wear brown jersey? What

8:44

are you wearing your closet? It's

8:47

like man, whoa, wait till I

8:49

put this Browns jersey with this

8:51

with this fit swain man. Wait

8:54

till I put this Browning orange

8:56

together man. It's gonna look fire.

8:59

Whoo Got these Birkenstotz.

9:01

I've been waiting waiting

9:03

to rock with this

9:05

Browns jersey these Timberland

9:07

boots swain Man, I've

9:09

been waiting at these

9:11

Johnston's Can't

9:13

wait to wear these boy

9:16

my browns uniform You know

9:18

why I can say that

9:20

Because I went to Grissom,

9:22

you know Grissom's colors were

9:24

when I played the same

9:26

colors the Cleveland Browns you

9:28

said brown Yes hideous Hideous

9:30

man, they change the colors

9:32

at my high school now.

9:34

They're black and orange the

9:36

one girl rid of them

9:38

They're rid of the brown

9:40

that changed. Yes Yeah.

9:44

Did that move come with your most

9:46

recent donation check where you demanded after

9:48

you got your wing in the school

9:50

that also they changed the colors of

9:53

the uniform? I haven't

9:55

given them anything. I

9:58

haven't called. The Tigers,

10:00

is that right? This

10:02

logo is hideous. It

10:04

looks like the Missouri Tiger logo. The

10:07

little cartoon one. It's

10:09

terrible. It's

10:12

good thing he don't call, because I will tell

10:14

him. Like, we got to do it, man. 'all

10:16

here embarrassing me and Summerall. This

10:18

is the hideous logo. Chris

10:21

and Pride, right here. Yeah.

10:25

Summerall and we are disappointed in this logo.

10:27

This is terrible. I

10:29

thought about popping up when I was down there a couple

10:31

weeks ago, but I was like, eh, probably

10:33

best to call first. Derek

10:36

Dilley did have a point. All

10:40

you got to do is just call. You got to

10:42

call first. up the phone. You got to call first.

10:44

You got to call first. Your brother calls first, right?

10:46

That's right. Yeah, yeah. Dooly

10:49

didn't like to pop in. Just don't pop up.

10:51

What do I get where he's coming from? I

10:54

do. He don't know anybody,

10:56

man. He don't know. At the very least,

10:59

though, the message could have been delivered a

11:01

little bit better. Correct,

11:05

correct. But I do appreciate how blunt he

11:07

was. Like, I got along with Dooley, man. I appreciate

11:09

Dooley. He spent some time, he took some time out,

11:12

uh, sit down with me and Chris Brown. We

11:15

had an idea of what we wanted the, you

11:17

know, VFL program to be and the foreign players

11:19

and what we wanted to look like. And man,

11:21

he spent time because it mattered to him. So,

11:23

uh, that narrative that he didn't care about the

11:26

foreign players, I don't, I don't 100 % buy

11:28

because he spent time with me. He ate a

11:30

salad. Well, you eat your salad. Ooh,

11:34

tastefully? Without even dressing.

11:37

Exactly. I remember. I appreciate a good

11:39

salad. I don't need to dress it

11:41

up. You know what, if

11:43

I ever dare Dooley like, like a miniature

11:45

Dooley. Miniature

11:51

Dooley. Little

11:54

Dooley. So when I walk in

11:56

tomorrow, I'm gonna walk in like

11:59

Malik Jackson. Hey, hey,

12:02

little Dooley. So

12:04

I've got an update. We were compiling a

12:06

list of most hated people I'd like to

12:09

put another name on my list basketball though

12:11

as I recall you were a top 200

12:13

basketball prospect in the 2003 class at one

12:15

point. Toby Smith said he was coming for

12:17

you. Hey, I don't know if he was

12:19

telling the truth. Clean up to clean up

12:22

a couple of items. Well, it's on record

12:24

at this point. He had me up. Speaking

12:26

of hated players, we got a couple of

12:28

Omar Payne votes. Remember, he was the one

12:30

that hit folky in the back of the

12:32

head. Remember that? Oh, yeah. will uh... jonathan

12:35

says josh you better wear orange pants tomorrow

12:38

When you think about businesses that

12:40

are selling through the roof, like

12:42

Allo or Skins, sure, you think

12:44

about a great product, a cool

12:46

brand and brilliant marketing, but an

12:48

often overlooked secret is actually the

12:51

businesses behind the business, making selling

13:44

my phone at night. The show is literally

13:47

called Nightly Scroll. My screen time has reached

13:49

13:51

I gotta go look for Rommel. Where

14:12

is he? Where's Rommel? Um,

14:15

so we got that. Got a Cherokee Parks vote.

14:17

So again, you can do, I think you can

14:19

do the all hated Duke team and then they

14:21

all hated everybody else. Yeah, I like Duke, so

14:23

growing up, so I mean, I'm sorry, I can't

14:25

identify. One other thing though, to

14:27

the Browns jersey and the hate you were

14:29

showing, who would want to wear a Browns

14:32

jersey? Well, there might be

14:34

a few Tennessee fans that want to because they've

14:36

got a running back now. It's

14:38

a fan favorite. Hey Doing it because

14:40

you support Dylan Samson and wanting to

14:42

wear brown jersey. It can be two

14:45

different Two different things, Josh Ward. Two

14:48

different things. And if you're

14:50

gonna do it, I suggest

14:53

getting the white away jerseys.

14:59

We'll support our own. But

15:02

come on, man. It's

15:05

not the most stylish jersey in the

15:07

NFL. Yeah, not

15:09

my problem. I pull for the Raiders.

15:11

They don't win a whole lot of

15:13

games. They look good when they're losing.

15:15

They look good, man. We'll continue the

15:17

conversation. 865 -656 -9900. I'm going to

17:24

to tell coach you're that. That's true. You tell coach you're wearing

orange because you evolve. That's

17:28

have VFL. Yeah, These are

17:30

my orange golf pants. and And coach

17:32

and coach will say, I

17:35

like it. He'll love it. OK.

17:37

Or you can tell him, yeah, I'm wearing

17:39

these because they're duly, then he'll just laugh it

17:41

your face probably. Yeah, probably that too. Mike

17:44

did add that if I come to work

17:46

with the stool and cane, I get extra points.

17:49

Don't do that. Now,

17:51

18:20

there in your heart. You hear

18:23

he's got that dog in him.

18:25

Yep For me, it's that orange

18:28

dog. That orange dog. That positivity.

18:31

That positivity dog. Yeah,

18:34

you know, the image you'll find on

18:36

the internet, it's an x -ray and

18:39

then somebody's Photoshopped the image of a

18:41

dog in there. Yeah, mine's orange. Go

18:43

find the orange dog. Yeah, they don't

18:45

even show color on x -ray, but

18:47

mine shows the orange dog. There's color

18:49

on my x -ray. I

18:53

honestly wish I had an orange dog. They'll

18:56

be great for the office Maybe

18:58

we can just find a dog

19:00

and just paint it orange Yeah,

19:02

by the way if you have

19:04

no idea what we're talking about

19:06

because that was I think at

19:08

the end of the 2011 season

19:10

so it was 14 years ago

19:12

the season could have been going

19:14

better and it was late in

19:16

the year and There was an

19:18

orange dog all of a sudden

19:20

ceramic is that right, but there

19:23

was an orange dog figurine that

19:25

was there with Tennessee on the

19:27

practice field, and they had it

19:29

out there before the Vanderbilt game,

19:31

and that was a game that Tennessee

19:34

won in overtime at Neland Stadium, and

19:36

the good vibes, the good juju that

19:38

came from the Orange Dog helped propel

19:41

Tennessee to that success. Now, the next

19:43

week, Tennessee lost to Kentucky and finished

19:45

five and seven, so the Orange Dog

19:48

can only do so much. I

19:52

really want one now. We

19:58

gotta find it. If

20:01

we can't find it, we should make our own. Josh

20:06

and Swain, Orange Dog. You think

20:08

that'd be a good mascot for the Josh and Swain Studio?

20:12

Yep. Okay. Okay, so we're on

20:14

it. If you can help us find the Orange Dog, we

20:16

would love to showcase him. We gotta

20:19

get it, man. We gotta get the Orange

20:21

Dog. Or make

20:23

our own. You're

20:25

always down for a painting project, Josh. That's

20:27

right. That's right. Panning is

20:29

fun. It's

20:31

fun, so we're doing it. Which

20:36

can we find first, the orange dog

20:38

or new wide receiver to add to

20:40

the room for Tennessee? Well,

20:45

I mean, hey, the young man. Gets

20:48

here and sounds like he's here

20:50

and we lock him up. Might

20:52

get him. Before before the

20:55

orange dog. I gotta find it. You cannot

20:57

yet. You can also reply. Why not both?

21:00

Lock them in at the same time. Well, I

21:02

mean, we're sitting right here. We might not be

21:04

able to find an orange dog in the next

21:06

35 minutes. We We are tied up currently here

21:08

at Frazier. And then like if I go find

21:11

one that you can paint, then I gotta go

21:13

to the paint store and make sure it's the

21:15

right paint. Get them to mix it and then

21:17

I gotta go home and I gotta paint it.

21:19

Like even if I did it today, it will

21:22

be this evening. Tennessee can lock up a receiver

21:24

before they are. Are

21:26

you challenging me to get

21:28

one before Tennessee signs a

21:30

receiver? I've

21:33

never seen. I've never known you to back down from

21:35

a challenge. So that's what you're doing. Skeet

21:42

with a reminder of Smokey the dog nation.

21:45

Remember that one? What?

21:47

I believe that was in

21:49

Brandon Huntley hat fields. Statement.

21:57

Oh, man. Oh,

22:01

man. I want to

22:03

start by thanking my family, friends, coaches, teammates.

22:08

Hey, Josh, have some control. And

22:11

Smokey the Dog Nation for an amazing year

22:13

at the University of Tennessee. Was that his

22:15

transfer? Yeah. Yeah, that's when he left. Who

22:19

in the hell is Smokey the Dog Nation? I

22:23

guess we all are. No, we're not.

22:26

We're Tenzy fans. By the way,

22:28

he's in the transfer portal right

22:31

now with one more season to

22:33

go. All

22:35

right, I'm looking up ceramic

22:38

dogs nearby so we can

22:40

get and then paint it

22:42

orange. Joe sent us a

22:44

photo. I got I have

22:46

an orange wiener dog. He's

22:48

an old hat like Swain.

22:53

I'm young. Do you know

22:56

why the the cowboy went

22:58

to get a doxin? No,

23:03

I don't he just wanted

23:05

25:46

Not revealing the source, but

25:48

we do believe we've identified

25:50

the location and the holder

25:52

of the orange dog. Yeah,

25:55

I don't want that one. I want a different

25:57

one. I

26:00

remember now, it was too heavy.

26:06

I need something that we can take with

26:08

us on remotes. I

26:10

think we should have an orange dog with

26:12

us at all times. I

26:15

think it's our secret weapon. We've

26:18

been missing, Josh. Well,

26:23

we are about trying to improve. That's right,

26:25

man. Give better, find the missing piece. That's

26:28

right. That's what we're going to do. And

26:30

perhaps we've just found it, or at least

26:32

the idea of it. That's

26:34

what we're doing, man. We're

26:38

taking our game to the next level

26:40

here on Josh and Swain. Just like

26:42

Tennessee Athletics, Lady Valls with the number

26:45

one transfer class according to ESPN, the

26:47

number two ranked recruiting class. Yesterday,

26:50

Kim Caldwell, when she was on 3HL,

26:52

she was talking about, hey, We

26:54

were up and down the court. We were pressing

26:56

all 40 minutes and I think they ranked 11th

26:58

in the nation and still, she said, that's not

27:00

good enough. We should have been at the top.

27:02

If we're pressing the whole game, we need to

27:04

take the ball away more. So I believe they're

27:06

going to have a roster built more for what

27:08

they want to do in year two. And

27:11

that should be very exciting for Tennessee basketball fans.

27:13

So it's not just Rick Barnes. It's Kim

27:15

Caldwell putting together rosters that they expect to compete

27:18

with the very best next season. I

27:21

am ready for some hoops.

27:24

I can't wait. Go

27:27

to Ladyball Games on Sundays. Can't

27:33

wait. Had

27:36

my fair share of games this season on

27:38

Sundays. That was very, very, very enjoyable. Well,

27:40

they had a really good season. They won

27:42

a lot of games. They went to the

27:44

Sweet 16. The win against Ohio State in

27:46

the tournament was, man, that was a show

27:48

and a big win. Obviously, to get that

27:51

win in advance to the Sweet 16, the

27:53

win against UConn, which ended up winning the

27:55

national championship. So they proved that they could

27:57

do a lot and they're going to try

27:59

to build on that. But it was entertaining

28:01

for fans. Fans had a good time watching

28:03

Tennessee play this season. Oh, yeah, their style

28:05

of play was fun to watch. It's

28:10

a style of play that will attract

28:12

top tier talent. And I think when

28:14

you are playing in a system that

28:16

gives you the freedom to play your

28:18

game and play some one -on -one

28:20

ball, if you can do it, and

28:23

then you can get up and down the court, create

28:25

turnovers, score a lot of points. I

28:27

didn't know how it was to

28:30

work out, but so

28:32

far so good. And

28:35

looking forward to seeing what it's going

28:37

to look like next year. when Tennessee

28:39

adds more, more talent, which they, they

28:41

did that. So

28:44

the goal is championships. That's for the

28:46

basketball teams as they get ready for

28:48

next year. Before that will be football

28:51

season as we're now in the month

28:53

of May. We have May, June, and

28:55

then get to the end of July

28:58

and it's camp time yesterday. Josh Hypole

29:00

was there at the big orange caravan

29:02

as well and. When you think about

29:05

businesses that are selling through the roof,

29:07

like Aloe or Skins, sure, you think

29:09

about a great product, a cool brand,

29:12

and brilliant marketing. But an often overlooked

29:14

secret is actually the businesses behind the

29:16

business, making selling, and for shoppers, buying

29:19

simple. For millions of businesses, that business

29:21

is Shopify. Nobody does

29:23

selling better than Shopify. With Shoppay,

29:25

that boosts conversions up to 50%,

29:27

meaning way less carts are going

29:29

abandoned and way more sales. So

now, if I didn't take the path back

30:18

to her. Ladies and gentlemen, Jada pocket. What

30:20

made you after the soccer career go WWE?

30:23

The answer I always have to that is

30:25

like, why not? The No Contest Wrestling podcast,

30:27

part of the Rich Eisen podcast network. Follow

30:29

and listen on your favorite platform. He

30:33

talked about Tennessee is built to win now

30:35

they they've had a change at quarterback They

30:37

have a quarterback battle that has to play

30:39

out But I thought it stood out when

30:41

he said we're built to win got to

30:44

go show it We got to compete got

30:46

to put everything together. It was pointed out

30:48

to us in the text box This is

30:50

kind of a younger roster So we've discussed

30:52

leadership over the last few months who steps

30:55

forward in that role, but Here we are.

30:57

It's May most of the spring portal activity

30:59

is done. Tennessee's looking for a little defensive

31:01

back help another wide receiver. If it's Jonathan

31:03

Brady, maybe somebody else, but the team is

31:06

what it is and trying to get ready

31:08

for the 25 season, trying to get back

31:10

to the playoff. Yeah,

31:12

I mean, the proof will

31:14

be in the pudding. You

31:17

know, what you put out

31:19

there in the football field

31:21

this fall will back up

31:23

what you have done behind

31:25

closed doors that comes from

31:27

hurting and development and the

31:29

practice. The habits that you

31:32

have created, either allow guys

31:34

to do what they do

31:36

on Saturdays or you coach

31:39

them to do what they

31:41

do on Saturdays. So year

31:43

five, loading, you've

31:45

had some key people leave, you got some key

31:48

people that you've brought in, but

31:50

haven't had a chance to play

31:52

and they'll get an opportunity this

31:54

year. Did you see

31:57

Brad Crawford at 24 seven

31:59

sports with his sec power

32:02

rankings post spring power rankings?

32:04

I sure did these were

32:07

Rankings for the 16 sec

32:09

teams and he ranked Tennessee

32:11

ninth in the conference Number

32:14

one is Texas number two

32:16

LSU number three Alabama number

32:19

four Georgia Oklahoma number five

32:23

We got a lot of momentum right

32:25

now, man. A lot of momentum. lot

32:27

of people loving up on them. Yep.

32:29

And then ahead of Tennessee, besides those

32:31

I mentioned Ole Miss, South

32:34

Carolina, and Florida, Tennessee

32:36

number nine. That's

32:42

all right. That's pretty

32:44

fair position to be

32:46

in right now. I

32:48

mean, hey man, he

32:50

lost your quarterback. You

32:53

lost the starting quarterback. No one's supposed to

32:55

give Tennessee the benefit of doubt right now

32:57

when it comes to rankings. No

33:01

one. I

33:05

mean, you lost a lot

33:08

of really good players. So

33:11

I get it. That Oklahoma game, that's a

33:13

big one. Dude. It's

33:15

going to be a Knoxville. And the reason

33:17

why it's so big is because outside

33:21

of the Josh Hyple connection. Right.

33:23

That storyline is a lot of

33:25

people when they're looking at the

33:28

roster, excuse me, looking at the

33:30

schedule and they're trying to predict

33:32

the record. Pretty

33:36

sure most Tennessee fans has to have Oklahoma as

33:38

a win. And they're

33:40

going to be the most improved team that we're

33:42

going to play from last year to this year.

33:49

Yeah, I would say Oklahoma and

33:51

Florida because Florida well that game

33:53

Josh that's why I gave you

33:56

a look like They gave us

33:58

all we wanted buddy They was

34:00

pre -improved. Yeah, they played us

34:03

versus the first couple of games

34:05

of the season. Yeah, man. They

34:07

sorry You saw Miami play them.

34:10

We're like, oh, we're gonna mop

34:12

Florida. Yeah, and we played them.

34:14

It's like wait a minute Well,

34:19

when did 'all go bring back

34:21

all these Lord of greats? Yep,

34:24

so Yeah, your honor. I

34:26

withdraw the statement just Oklahoma

34:28

You better back up Josh

34:30

Terry You better put it

34:32

in reverse buddy It's Josh

34:35

Ward MD if you don't

34:37

mind as David pointed out

34:39

Josh Ward mini Dooley equals

34:41

Josh Ward MD MD some

34:43

I like that have an

34:45

MD next their name because

34:47

of their Work

34:49

in the medical field as a doctor, but

34:51

Josh Ward and mini Dooley MD as well.

34:53

Well, you got hair like Dooley. That's a

34:56

compliment, right? Tremendous

34:59

compliment and you don't whether you mean it

35:01

or not. He grew a beard at one

35:03

point. Maybe with the Cowboys. Yeah,

35:06

well, you know, that buyout money, he ain't

35:09

having enough time to shave. Now

35:12

we've reached our difference. Uh,

35:14

MT says, oh, you sucks.

35:18

We're gonna see and I hope

35:20

so I hope so Like the

35:22

Florida game that one is later

35:24

in the season by the way

35:26

for Tennessee. What do you mean

35:28

you like it? Similar

35:31

to the Florida game The

35:33

Florida game Typically is in

35:35

September right well this year

35:37

Tennessee will play Florida in

35:40

November November 22nd last year,

35:42

Oklahoma was the SEC opener

35:44

for Tennessee This year,

35:47

Tennessee will play Oklahoma November 1st.

35:49

So you see somewhat of a

35:51

reversal of September -November SEC. I'm

35:53

all about that, man. Because

35:56

those bird -looking insects they

35:58

got down there, don't have

36:00

to see them in November.

36:02

Down in Gainesville? least I

36:04

hope not. Yep. SEC

36:07

opener for Tennessee, Georgia

36:09

Week 3. First SEC

36:11

road game will be Week 5

36:13

at Mississippi State. I've

36:17

never been to Starkville

36:19

never been Have you

36:21

ever been before I've

36:23

not been to Starkville.

36:25

No, you didn't take

36:27

an official there. No,

36:29

why would I do

36:32

that? Well,

36:39

why would I do that Josh? Oh

36:45

I wasn't two -star. That

36:51

was disrespectful.

36:54

To who? I'm

36:58

offended that you would even ask me if

37:00

I took a visit there. I feel disrespected.

37:06

Mississippi State. What's

37:08

wrong with you? When Carmelo got introduced

37:10

to Oklahoma City. He was asked, would

37:13

you consider coming off the bench and

37:15

he looked at, who me? Who me?

37:17

Did you take a visit to Starkville?

37:20

Who me? Who me? A

37:23

U .S. Army All -American going to Mississippi State.

37:25

Josh, what's wrong with you? Caught two touchdowns in

37:27

the Army All -American. I ain't see, I ain't

37:30

had all that, I'm just saying. I

37:33

ain't going to Mississippi State. All

37:37

-American man, what's wrong with you? Oh

37:40

boy, let me stop. I forgot

37:42

to go for real. We'll come

37:44

back. Jason Swains here, VFL, former

37:46

40:01

I've been searching for Ceramic dogs

40:04

swain yeah You may not

40:06

be able to tell. Swain is being

40:08

100 % serious. He's been searching the

40:11

last 20 minutes or so for some

40:13

dog figurine statue type options. Oh, yeah.

40:16

Yeah, gotta have it, man.

40:19

Gotta have it. So I'm gonna find it.

40:22

Shannon in Lenore City texted,

40:24

do I remember correctly that

40:26

Swain was a top basketball

40:28

recruit along with LeBron? That

40:32

is the worst. That is correct,

40:34

Shannon. Y 'all are the worst.

40:36

That is correct. We

40:38

again, appreciate you hanging out. We appreciate

40:40

the interaction. I love when we brought

40:43

up sports hatred. Names came flying in

40:45

in the text box too of players

40:47

that they hated. We had a few

40:49

that went back. two, three decades too.

40:51

That's beautiful. So thanks for all

40:53

the interaction today. It has been a lot of fun.

40:56

We still have several minutes to go. Before we go,

40:58

we hand out today's Atta Boy. So

41:20

we hand out atta boys and atta

41:22

girls every day thanks to native design

41:24

they are celebrating 20 years this year

41:26

right here in East Tennessee helping people

41:29

your local custom pool and hardscape specialists

41:31

and for the second time in his

41:33

career drew holiday who has been a

41:35

big -time winner on the court with

41:37

the Boston Celtics. He helped him win

41:40

a title last year. He's trying to

41:42

do that again. He helped the Milwaukee

41:44

Bucks win a title. And for the

41:46

second time, he has won the NBA's

41:49

Sportsmanship Award. He is well

41:51

-known for the quality person, the

41:53

character that he brings to the

41:56

league. And there's a reason that

41:58

he shows up. He's a really good player, really good

42:00

defender. That's kind of backed up

42:02

in the way that he plays, the effort he puts in.

42:05

He changes the culture when he walks in. And

42:08

that has been on display from going

42:10

to New Orleans. They got

42:12

better. Went to Milwaukee. They became champs.

42:14

Went to Boston immediately. They

42:17

win the NBA title. I think

42:19

the fact that the Philadelphia 76ers

42:21

years ago decided to begin the

42:23

process by trading away Drew Holiday.

42:25

That's smart. Shows you everything you

42:27

need to know about the process.

42:29

They got rid of the guy

42:31

that is the one that comes

42:33

in. and brings everybody together. Not

42:35

smart and they're still trying to

42:37

find somebody like that. So two

42:39

time now winner of the NBA

42:42

Sportsmanship Award, Drew Holiday. He joins

42:44

Mike Conley, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd

42:46

and Kimba Walker as players to

42:48

win the award more than once.

42:53

Something we say about being

42:55

a good teammate and a

42:58

culture tone setter and everywhere

43:00

he's been man, they've won.

43:03

Celtics, I mean, he got traded. He

43:06

helped that organization win a championship and

43:09

he gets traded. Like you just kind

43:11

of sell out for the community that

43:13

you're living in. I know his wife

43:15

was not happy. She was vocal about

43:17

not being pleased with being traded, but

43:20

he's making a big difference in a

43:22

different community. It was Milwaukee. They loved

43:24

it there. He was a professional about

43:26

it. understood it was a business and

43:28

now he was blessed with a great

43:30

opportunity because he won a championship the

43:33

following year with the Boston Celtics and

43:35

in position to win another one this

43:37

year. By the way, Holiday is a

43:39

three -time recipient of the teammate of

43:41

the year award. So high

43:44

character, high quality teammate,

43:46

sportsmanship award and a winner. You

43:48

have Drew Holiday, you have a

43:50

better chance of winning two -time

43:52

Olympic gold medalist as well. You

43:55

think Niko will win? think

43:57

you're going win that award? Well, I

44:00

was asked earlier today

44:03

is Nico celebrating national

44:05

loyalty day. We

44:08

all are in our own way.

44:10

In our own way? That's right.

44:13

Yep. So, happy National Loyalty Day

44:15

to everyone. Everyone. And Atta Boy

44:17

to Drew Holiday for his Sportsmanship

44:20

Award and the impact he continues

44:22

to make. And every day here
