A week later, we got a call from somebody asking if we could hand over the tape, which we did. Two weeks later, I get a call from a friend of mine, Pat Smith, my producer actually, got the call from a guy on the Senate Homeland Security Committee in Washington saying that they were investigating this for terrorism to the water system of Lee County.
Next day, they arrested this guy whose name was not Al, but Harvey Updike.
I got to know him afterwards. I said, why did you do it? He said, I had to do it for Nick Saban. I couldn't let Scam Newton beat Nick Saban. And he finally admitted, he said, I guess I just had too much Alabama in me. Anyway, he later spent time in the Lee County Penitentiary.
Well, I mean... You've been in radio studios often, and you have the name of the person and what they want to talk about. And I kept looking down, and it said Smokey in the ER. And I just didn't quite register what that meant. Finally, after about 30 minutes, I hit Smokey, and I said, Smokey, what's going on? And he said, Paul, I just want to tell you how much I love you.
So, Smokey, are you telling me that you're listening to the show while you're having a heart attack?
I said, so what's wrong? He said, I'm dying. I'm in the ER. I said, is it serious? I mean, not a smart question, by the way. He said, yes.
And at that point, I remember Howard Stern having a bit like this once, and he asked for confirmation. I said, Smokey, is it possible you could put a nurse on? I mean, I just wanted to confirm this guy wasn't just some quack.
Okay, I'm speaking to a nurse right now at Trinity Hospital, right? Okay. She said, oh, yeah, I'm Jeannie Jones. I'm an LPN in the ER. I said, is he really having a heart attack? She said, yes. You know, he's had six heart attacks on his chart. And I'm like going, has the Hippocratic Oath not made it to the state of Alabama yet?
He survived. He did not die. And I wasn't really sure if I was happy or sad about that because it would have been a great final phone call.
He's still around. And I'm still milking that story on any podcast I can find.
Phyllis could have put out her own Christmas CD. And I say CD for a reason because Phyllis is of the era of the 8-track tape and the CD. She was amazing.
Legend. My favorite three words during the football season on a Monday after a loss by Alabama, that's his team. Legend is next.
After that aforementioned Vanderbilt game, he unloaded on the coaching staff.
The call went viral.
Wish you would. Go right ahead.
You burned it.
That sounds like a beatdown, Tim.
I can make it really simple. Legend is the president of the sidewalk alumni. And your colleague, Joe Scarborough, is the president of the upper crust elite Alabama alumni. I love Joe, but I gravitate more toward the sidewalk. That's what I do. You know, some of them have been to Tuscaloosa. Some of them have actually even been to an Alabama game.
But that doesn't matter to me because those folks have always needed representation. I think you can bring a political scientist in here, and this is really where the country is. And I think we have heard in elections that they're not being paid attention to. And I really believe that we give them a voice.
And it may make the athletic directors and the chancellors and the bowtied crowd in the ivory towers uncomfortable, but I really don't care.
