I never thought about it until looking at this picture, but just imagine the interviews Jack and Leach could’ve done together…
That Sunday morning call in show would be fire.
“Zeke from Sebastopol, Mississippi you’re on with Coach Mike Leach after a disappointing loss to Memphis.”
“Thanks for takin muh call, Jack. Ah love tha show. Now Mahk, have yew ever thought bout retarment?”
“Well, I mean, ya know, I have. A lot of people think I want to retire to my boat, but the truth is I don’t really even like sailing. I kind of want to just lay out on my hammock. And ya know ya know what uh I liked doing was that Sirius or uh XM satellite radio show with Jack Arute. They uh just uh setup a direct line to ya know my uh bungalow in Key West and I could just go walk out on the patio and ya know I could just do the show. No offense to the Jack sitting next to me, but that Jack was pretty great. Ya know he was a NASCAR guy? Ya know a thing I find interesting about NASCAR is that it started out as guys, ya know uh bootleggers, that ran whiskey through these backwoods and they would get together and uh race and I just think that whole history is really neat and I’m gonna get to your question in a second Zeke because that was a pretty piss poor performance against Memphis and I know Jack, Jack Cristil not Arute that I was talking about before has a Golden Flake spot he has to hit before we take a commercial break. Ya know I never really ate much Golden Flake before I moved to Mississippi. I really uh enjoy the sweet and spicy ones, the ones in the black bag. Yeah, those are really good. But yeah Zeke, was it Zeke? Yeah Zeke, I think about retiring all the time.”
