Chapter 2: How does the discussion shift to Lane Kiffin's coaching situation?

200.376 - 224.168 Tony

Tony is broken, and he has described Chris Cody as radiant because someone made a mistake. Great morning. Made a verbal mistake, made a pronunciation mistake worse than any Chris Cody has made. The worst part about it, the worst part about it, look, this is a real cyclone of regret and embarrassment here. Jeremy also happy at Tony's misery.

0

224.148 - 249.784 Tony

The cyclone of regret isn't merely that the name was botched this amazingly. The regret is also it was going to be the last words that he spoke to Ariel Helwani, a king in this business who, if he doesn't want to earn his respect or show him how much he knows, he at the very least doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of Ariel.

0

249.832 - 263.27 Chris Cody

So you think there's a little bit of home cooking with Abdel... Abdel... Abdel... It's a tough name. If you would have said to me before today, who in media does Tony most want to be? I might have said Ariel Helwani.

0

263.47 - 275.586 Tony

The majesty of everything that's happening there is that Tony never did get it right. He just bailed on it and there was never actually the satisfaction of getting the name right.

0

275.566 - 282.876 Chris Cody

So you think there's a little bit of home cooking with Abdel... Abdel... Abdel... It's a tough name. Wow.

283.717 - 299.705 Tony

Mike Fuentes was consoling and comforting Tony, and these times they don't have comfort in them. So I just walked by Fuentes saying to Tony, it is a tough name. And it wasn't reaching Tony. Like, it wasn't helping Tony.

299.925 - 310.71 Chris Cody

I heard him say to Jeremy, Jeremy, look up the name. No, I'm serious. Look up how it's spelled. It's tough. It's not three names. It is just two names. But they're tough two names.

311.031 - 314.222 Tony

It is indisputably a tough name to say.

314.242 - 315.968 Chris Cody

Alia Del Aziz.

Chapter 3: What embarrassing mistake did Tony make during his interview?

797.126 - 821.734 Tony

But here's what's changed in these six years since you got into business with Lane Kiffin. Everything! Brian Kelly, in those six years... Gets bought from Notre Dame by LSU. Flames out. The landscape changes so much at Florida that Florida can afford, like a lot of other schools, the buyout midseason of get the hell out of here. We've got to keep up right now.

0

821.814 - 852.42 Tony

We've got to get a better coach when the getting is good. And... I really ask you legitimately, Mike, as you are enmeshed in the business of just really ugly, ugly finance and currency. It ain't boxing, but it's coming close to boxing. And just because it's been cis boomba and amateurism and it's about the kids in the way that it's been framed. Rest assured, it is no longer that if it ever was.

0

852.52 - 878.344 Tony

It was better disguised before, but now what it is is if you're Mississippi, you are only a stepping stone for the next coach, who wants a career opportunity that's better than the one in Mississippi. That's what you are as a program because you've never won anything. The only reason Lane Kiffin is there after FAU is because that's what you exist as as a program.

0

878.645 - 884.372 Tony

So you're only allowed to be so mad. And I get why they're mad. Of course, they're emotional and they've never had this kind of hope.

0

Chapter 4: How do the hosts react to Tony's pronunciation error?

884.713 - 888.878 Tony

But this is the deal you made with the exotic dancer when you decided to marry him.

0

888.998 - 913.79 Mike Ryan

I don't know... the details surrounding their anger other than the obvious. All I know is that they are I heard from stores that they want to fire Lane Kiffin right now. That's how toxic it is. I think the unfortunate part about all of this is the timing. And could Lane have handled this a little bit better? Could he have had this commitment and made sure he was all right with Ole Miss? Maybe.

0

914.19 - 933.538 Mike Ryan

We can't ignore history here with Lane Kiffin. You would think that he would learn from it a little bit. I don't think this is quite as ugly as Tennessee because that was really ugly. But he did this 20 years ago, Dan. burning mattresses in his wake. He left for a better opportunity. And Tennessee is like one of the top 10 jobs in the nation. He left for USC.

0

933.859 - 946.88 Mike Ryan

Tennessee is wondering like what makes that job so much better? This one's a little bit more obvious. He has an interesting decision to make. I think if he wants like the best job, it's LSU. for what they're promising, but he's been going back and forth with Florida for quite some time.

0

947.56 - 964.761 Tony

You made a correction of me when I said that he had made an oral commitment to both schools. You said that he's got, in principle, a verbal financial setup with both schools. I have not heard that statement.

965.281 - 987.205 Tony

not just about lane kiffin i have not heard that ever as a report that someone has a verbal arrangement with two schools it's the first time i've heard a report of that kind and you've got that locked down or he's got he's got a verbal agreement with both schools this is not about money anymore this is about what does lane want to do here and i think lane understands

987.185 - 1002.047 Mike Ryan

He needs to make a decision soon because I think we've surpassed critical mass here. Florida did institute a deadline last night, and Lane Kiffin laughed at that. I think we find out today on Lane Kiffin.

1002.187 - 1023.044 Mike Ryan

If he doesn't, I don't know what college football is going to look like tomorrow because you've got three big programs here, and all of them are starting to get heated, and you have one of the biggest personalities in the sport. It's just... It's unsustainable for this to continue going the way that it is. It's Lane's decision right now. The family aspect is not something that you can ignore.

1023.525 - 1033.105 Mike Ryan

Florida would properly be pissed, too, because they have felt for a while now that Lane Kiffin was going to be their next coach. And I said it earlier, but let me revisit it again.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the Buss family's struggles?

1712.418 - 1736.831 Tony

You got that exactly right. I did that very poorly. I'm embarrassed by it. It is a mark that has been left on me that stings and hurts, just like leaving peanut shells in the staircase, a shame I've carried with me for 24 hours means Golden State, Georgia Tech, Yellow Jackets. Worse. Worse? Worse, sorry. Put them next to each other.

1736.891 - 1737.492 Chris Cody

Where's Judge Oslo?

0

1737.512 - 1739.815 Tony

Where is he? Certainly mine was easier.

0

1739.916 - 1744.823 Chris Cody

You're just saying the wrong thing. He's just struggling to say. He's saying the right thing, but saying it incorrectly.

0

1744.843 - 1747.407 Tony

But he never says it. He never gets it right.

1747.467 - 1749.95 Chris Cody

Both you guys have Chris Cody on your side. It is clear.

1750.832 - 1751.052

Absolutely.

1751.032 - 1757.397 Chris Cody

Abdel, Abdel, Abdel. It's a tough name. Jeremy, whoa, in the background.

1757.477 - 1758.079 Dan Le Batard

Jeremy, please.
