Seth WickershamGUEST
And at the same time, Michael Jordan had just turned 50.
Seth WickershamGUEST
My buddy Wright Thompson had written a story about Michael Jordan, a great piece about you know, how tortured Jordan was without the game and how he was still searching for self meaning and identity and something to fill that void and nothing would.
Seth WickershamGUEST
And turns out Brady's exactly like that.
Warren RoganHOST
Andrew Luck was able to step away and do something.
Harrison BakerHOST
I was all about this Lane Kiffin story and then coming back to Ole Miss and how hyped up the crowd got.
Harrison BakerHOST
I read Wright Thompson wrote a crazy good piece about it.
Harrison BakerHOST

Harrison BakerHOST
It hyped me completely up for this game.
Bomani JonesHOST

Bomani JonesHOST
Actually, it is every day that one of America's foremost sports writers goes to Oxford, Mississippi, 'cause Wright Thompson is right down the-
Ryan BrumleyHOST
He's right there.
Ryan BrumleyHOST
[laughs]
Joel AndersonHOST
Is that Carnero missing that?
Tate FrazierHOST
yeah missed it it was 53 yarder but he missed it right so it's 24 14. we're at the late stages of the third quarter right now in this game can we work back a little bit just kind of the the pageantry that set up this game college game day being in Oxford obviously a lot of jarring a lot of you know back and forth between Pete Golding Lane Kiffin some fun ribbing between them Lane Kiffin texted him during the week like our quarterback is out and he said yeah right um so there was a lot that was happening leading into this game uh Joel I mean Wright Thompson wrote a great piece like just as far as the spectacle of this game do you feel like it lived up to the billing
Joel AndersonHOST
oh yeah i mean the thing is it's the sort of thing i'm sure you've got to be there to really get the feel for like the intensity and the animus in the air right uh a little bit of the essence you know that's going that's floating through the air down there oxford kevin smith was talking
Tate FrazierHOST
back to the essence

Scott Van PeltHOST

speaker_9UNKNOWN
Flim flam.
Scott Van PeltHOST
Wright Thompson.
Scott Van PeltHOST
I read his piece yesterday.
Jeff ColtHOST
But talking about him in this context is only lifting him up more and putting his name further out there.
Finn MelansonHOST
When we had Wright Thompson on the podcast a few months ago, he had this quote, and it was something like, uh, and he was comparing musicians versus pro athletes, and he's like, "In my interactions between the two groups, musicians desperately wanna be pro athletes, and pro athletes desperately wanna feel and be treated like musicians." I guess there's, like, some subtleties there, and I feel like maybe you could extend that to influencers and pro athletes.
Finn MelansonHOST
It's like influencers, like, actually desperately want to be, like, the pro athletes in terms of, like, genetic capability and, like, results, and maybe to some extent the pro athletes who are good but don't have those massive Instagram followings wish they had what the influencers had there to some extent.
Finn MelansonHOST
So there's kind of, like, wanting to trade some of the currency in one domain for another.
JohnHOST
That relate to this bottle and that period of time, which I think pulls in a little bit of the emotional aspects of what's going on.
JohnHOST
So this is a book about Julian Van Winkle from an independent writer, Wright Thompson was his name.
JohnHOST
But I'm just going to get right to it because I don't want to bore you guys for too long talking too much.
JohnHOST
All right.
