Go sling it.
5:50
Charlie, you may have the toughest job in sports trying to make these guys happy.
5:55
I will do, I think, four.
5:57
And I'll say four because there's nothing like in an important playoff game or an important World Series game and that guy's – pitching in the ninth inning and the bases are loaded uh i couldn't imagine the pressure and not just the physical ability but also the mental toughness to do it i'll put it at four

Four.
9:07
Charlie, I'm going to put it at five, and the reason I'm putting it at five is because in today's game, there's so many talent and so many people that can handle the ball that you can take a point guard out of the game, and you've still got people to bring the ball up and handle the ball as well.

He says mental health is a major issue in the area.
50:16
In rural areas, you know, the Riverina is notorious as a high suicide area.
50:23
We do what we can to try and alleviate that, but again, people need to talk about it.
50:30
Talk about mental health.
50:33
Suicide is a word that can be used.
50:35
It's not to be avoided.
50:37
It's a fact of life, and if you talk about it, it becomes a subject that's not a taboo and it's something to be addressed properly.
4:52
No, no. Steve, what do you think? Unlike
4:55
what Eric said, I like all the foods that hush puppies come with.
5:00
You know, I like the seafood and the stuff like that.
5:02
So I'm going to put it at three.

7 MINS LATER

11:41
Finally gave us something good.
11:43
Charlie, I'll do one, too.
11:45
And my story on onion rings is back when we lived in Chattanooga, there was a delicatessen that had three or four locations, and you'd walk in.
11:53
They would have 50-pound bags of onions, and they hand-sliced them, and they are still to this day the very best onion ring I've ever eaten.
13:36
And last year in full varsity, you guys had a great year.
13:41
Yeah, I was obviously at Knoxville Catholic and had some great teams and was blessed enough to coach a lot of great players.
13:49
Didn't know hardly anything about Concord Christian, but met John Mark Harrison, met some other guys in the administration there.
13:57
I was really impressed with their vision there.
14:00
And just like we talked about these college football is how much do you care? What's, what's the investment going to be like? And I felt like it from those guys and, um, and felt like, Hey, this would be a lot of fun trying to build this thing from the ground up, uh, putting, putting our fingerprints on this and seeing where we can take this thing.
14:17
And I am overly optimistic right now about where we're headed.
14:21
We got over 50 on the roster, uh, which is a huge number for us.

10 MINS LATER

24:13
It's either going to be... george mcintyre phase on brandon and we were talking about the two of them and and i asked the question if they were sitting in here right now now we can just pretend they are here's george mcintyre here's phase on brandon i'll move my chick-fil-a there there you go there's phase on brandon what would you say to them they're both neither ones played college football before both highly touted both tons of arm talent blah blah blah all the pressure all the things what would you say to the two young haven't done it before quarterbacks
6:25
As in, it's never been done before.
6:27
It is.
6:28
My original thought when I first started watching them was, well, they got the first round draft pick at quarterback.
6:34
Just like Auburn did.
6:35
And you see that every now and then.
6:37
When you got a number one pick overall at your quarterback, you're going to win.
6:41
But then you look, man, defensively, they shut down Ohio State.

20 MINS LATER

26:16
If you gift them the football, they will beat you.
27:02
Steve, what are we doing?
27:04
Yeah, I think the word flip has become synonymous with.
27:09
I've committed to this school, but I'm flipping to another one.
27:12
And then you told me about this today, about a guy saying he's flipping camp.
27:16
Not a guy.
27:17
A bunch of them.
27:18
It's everywhere, Steve.

9 MINS LATER

36:26
What is something that is constant from high school all the way to pro?
