00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: the only Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you Ty?

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm not one for signs from above now, I'm not

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: one for omens. I'm not one for good luck. But

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: I was walking back from the office space at which

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: I work back to the cloth is here where I

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: record the show and do all the the audio recording

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: I do, and I faintly hear something and it's getting

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: louder as I'm walking closer and closer too in the

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: direction I'm walking, it's getting louder and louder and louder,

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden I can make out

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: what it is, and it's that boom boom boom boom

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: ba boom boom bao super bass. And I was like, okay,

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: if I am walking to do the show, and tis

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: selection for what he would quote sing on a nationally

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: televised singing competition show comes on. I'm feeling good.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Had some commentary on that on the old Twitter sphere.

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, people not feeling it.

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: One gentleman in particular said it totally makes sense. I'm

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: not sure if I should take that as a compliment.

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it wasn't. But what happened with the spirit

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: with which it was intended? Whatever? Gotta be honest. This

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 2: at Goalie Junior earlier this week.

51
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Did you see that? I did? It covered a range

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: of topics, a lot of South Bend food talk, which

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how applicable it is to me, but

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: it's applicable to somebody. And he talked about preparing for Navy,

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: he talked about body arts, a lot of food stuff, coffee, mapps.

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: He really touched on a good variety of things. So

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: I was very pleased with how that turned out. And

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have more of these. We know a lot

59
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: of people that have interesting things to say, like MGJ.

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: Somebody asked if anybody had called him Mike Garlic, Yeah,

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: which I think is great, terrific, It's delicious. Get that

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: alice in any way you can. It's the chemical compound

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: in there. And so very excited for the future of

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: the AMA.

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely so all sorts of ways that you can get

66
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: in touch with the show of course, solidrable agmail dot

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: com if you want to email in you've got something

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: to get off your chest. We did a lot of that.

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: So here's what we've been doing the last couple of weeks.

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: As we made the turn into May, which by the way,

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: it was the one hundred day mark not so long ago.

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: That's right until the college football season starts. But typically

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: the way this show works, you and I we've been

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: doing this for a while. When we make the turn

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: into May, there's always that brief moment of panic, like,

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: oh hell, what are we talking about in May? Yes,

77
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: and even into the early part of June, I think

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: we have that sentiment. But then as we get into July,

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, August gets a little bit bigger

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: in the window. And once we get to August, it's

81
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: time to actually start talking about college football in the season.

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: So it'll be here before you know it. What we

83
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: did the last two weeks. Last week, I did the

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: really weird role playing thing that I thought that was wonderful.

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate everyone in indulging me. Yeah, Journal, thank you.

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: It seems like it went over well, so I'm okay

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: with it. The week before that, you had twelve questions

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: eight college football for non college football that you wanted

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: to pose to me. And now, because we've been putting

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: this off, and because we've promised our lawyer for loyal

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: overbawl ers, not lawyer over ballers, those two both both

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: that we're going to be doing Q and a's once

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: a month. We wanted to cast a wide net and

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: see what kind of questions we could gather to do

95
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: on h to answer on this show.

96
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at tonight. I wonder how many

97
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: lawyer overbawlers there actually are probably exists. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but we do have We have a

99
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: number of questions about We have a number of questions

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: about just random things in college football and outside of

101
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: college football. In the way of news, there's not much,

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: although there's like a weird committee in the NCAA trying

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: to figure out, if you know, we can do a

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: likeness thing with players and making some money off of

105
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: their faces and brands. So that'll take forever and ever,

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: but it probably gets us into our first question pretty easy. Congratulations, Skippy,

107
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: you've got mail. You've got mail. On the solid verbal.

108
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: As often as we can we like to pay homage

109
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: to those of you who ride into the solid verbal

110
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: Let's start first and foremost. You dovetailed quite nicely, thank

111
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: for our first question or first series of questions.

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Really? Yes, Northwestern Chad. Yeah, I'm giving him that nick dame.

113
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I was not a self imposed nickname. But he's a

114
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: Northwestern fan. His name is Chad, and he's been asking

115
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: us enough questions. It's like when you ascend to a

116
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: certain boy scout Eagle scout out and you get enough badges.

117
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Chad has enough ver balling badges. We're like, we give

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: them a nickname.

119
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: Does EA Sports have a secret team of programmers working

120
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: on an updated to the minute version of the NCAA

121
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: football game? You know, just in case they suddenly get

122
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: the all clear from the nc DOUBLEA and the courts

123
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: and the players to launch a new title. Dan I, okay, yeah,

124
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: I have do intel. I have a very high.

125
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Level of confidence.

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: Let's say, oh my gosh, that EA is ready to

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: move the millisecond they get the green light. I think

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: they're prepared for it. I think they're working towards it.

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: If you've read any of the press releases around Madden twenty,

130
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: you know that they're going to be ten schools featured

131
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: in Madden twenty Clemson, USC, Oregon, I think, is going

132
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: to be in Florida, an Texas Tech.

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: Got in there somehow.

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: But there are there are a grouping of schools that

135
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: are going to be prominently featured in the game, which

136
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: I think is cool.

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine those schools and players playing for those

138
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: schools in the game. They will go out of their

139
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: way to make it seem like there is no clear

140
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: connection between current college players. We go Oregon, Justin Herbert, tall,

141
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: thin quarterback for Oregon that game, short fat, possibly Korean. Yeah,

142
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how.

143
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly the manner in which those teams

144
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: will be represented, but they will have a presence in

145
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: the game.

146
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Do you think it'll be like remember the Mario hockey

147
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: game or it was just like skinny medium.

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that when you were talking about

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert.

150
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they're doing. Skinny medium, medium, medium fat,

151
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: skinny medium. Great.

152
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: There was a mode last year too where you could

153
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: work a player through the college ranks and get him

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: to the NFL. I think this represents some of Yea's

155
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: on going efforts to rebuild the relationship with the NC

156
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: double A. They're doing what they need to do to

157
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: mend those fences and just trying to get a sense

158
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: for what will work what won't work in the future

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: when they decide to launch this game. There's still obviously

160
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: a very big following. We are in our thirties at

161
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: this point, Dan, you still have an interest in it.

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: You have a child. My guess is that your desire

163
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: to have this game back in your life has not

164
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: diminished as much as perhaps it should, despite being a

165
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 2: new father.

166
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: What was what was your ideal setup for playing NC DOUBLEA, Like,

167
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: how would you carve out your space physically? Like would

168
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: you have a drink by your side? Would you be

169
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: playing music? Would you be like where would you sitting?

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: What TV were you playing? I had okay with whom

171
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: were you playing? If anybody?

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: When I was still in my old apartment before meeting

173
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: before the old crash pad marrying solid life Kate, the

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: apartment that you could move out of forty five minutes,

175
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: that's right. We had robust dynasty going a robust online dynasty. Yeah,

176
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: and we had the TV mounted on the wall. We

177
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: had those old couches and that was that was the

178
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: ideal set up.

179
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: You were playing with your buddy Feldman.

180
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: I was playing with him a lot, Yeah, and along

181
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: with other friends who weren't located in the same space,

182
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: but that was that was sort of the dream man.

183
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: I played on Brown Beauty, my old couch that unfortunately

184
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Jody with and I was like, I think, what's something

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: to retire brown Beauty. I was like, but She's like, no,

186
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I think it's time.

187
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

188
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Played on Brown Beauty, beautifully soft microfiber, chocolate brown couch.

189
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: I had a black leather couch, Black Beauty that the

190
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: solid wife Kate immediately relegated to our basement.

191
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: I would throw on a podcast, either just out loud

192
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: on my phone or on my headphones or something like that,

193
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: because and I would have I would still have the

194
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: EA sounds, you know, I'd still have Kirk karb Street

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: saying like, I don't know why they went for there,

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: very low. I had a good mix going, cold beverage going,

197
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: and I would generally because I didn't sometimes i'd play

198
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: with my brother who lives near me, but a lot

199
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: of the time I was just playing online and it

200
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: felt great.

201
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: It was the best. It was the best. All right,

202
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: Ray says, Let's say EA scopes out the landscape of

203
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: college football and they decide that you two the solid

204
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: verbal whoa. Yeah, you guys are influential enough to have

205
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: input on the relaunch. What new features would you want?

206
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: What previous features would you want to return? And why

207
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: is the college rock playlist from NC DOUBLEA Football two

208
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: thousand and six not on that list even though it

209
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: absolutely should be.

210
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: So much da la soul in my brain because of

211
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: NC DOUBLEA two thousand and six, I think bad religion,

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: lag wagon bands like that. Oh, it was wonderful, it

213
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: was good, really good. What features would would I want

214
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: to return? I was always just big on playing online

215
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: and getting my record up. I liked playing with friends.

216
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: I like playing with my brother. I did really do.

217
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I did one Dynasty and it was fun. I created players,

218
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I liked recruiting all that kind of stuff. But it

219
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: was really the essence of it was the competition, getting better,

220
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: figuring out audibles that would work for me on either

221
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball, you know, the just sort of

222
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the tweaks and figuring out who I was as a player,

223
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: as my playing brand, if you will. So, I don't

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: think there's specific features. My curious thing though, is when

225
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: he says, if we're influential enough to have input on

226
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: the relaunch, what I would want to do is I

227
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: would want to somehow have EA leak the game to

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: us well in advance and through our show. We're dropping

229
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: nugs tie and you are listening to the show for

230
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Easter eggs. Some of it is very direct, like, oh,

231
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: this is in a game we're playing, and some of

232
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: it you have to listen back, maybe play our voices

233
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: in reverse to hear about new features and maybe release dates.

234
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: It's an Easter egg hunt, is how we're involved with this.

235
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Remember when Twitter was new and the first really big

236
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: athlete was Shack Right and he was like, Hey, everybody,

237
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get some tay food at this place.

238
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Anybody want to come hang and hit some some crab

239
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: rangoon And it was just like a crazy thing. That's

240
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: what I would do with this game. I'm like, all right,

241
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: we're at Target, we're in Columbus, Ohio. We set it

242
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: up on one of the TV's, it's gonna be here

243
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: for an hour. Let's rock. We could do that.

244
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: We could make that word what that was rocks give

245
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: us the word.

246
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: Yea, we would do happenings. I think that's the word happenings.

247
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could do if we were influential enough to

248
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: have some say over the relaunch. Hopefully they would deem

249
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: us influential enough to give Locks of the Week during

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: Dynasty Mode or Home Dogs. I don't know if Yako's

251
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: could afford that sponsorship for Home Dog of the Week,

252
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: but maybe like Hatfield could.

253
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I would definitely be in favor. I would be in favored.

254
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: You remember, I'm sure you do because we talked about

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: this on our nineties video games episode Bill barn Well.

256
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: The fake sponsors, Oh yeah, where it would be like

257
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Ed's House of Lobster and body shopping.

258
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: Back in the old Triple Play baseball.

259
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: There's like Triple Play ninety seven somewhere somewhere in there

260
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: where they'd have fake sponsors. That would be wonderful and

261
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: it dovetails nicely.

262
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Ty.

263
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: This is a pro move here. This is a pro

264
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: move with the hype, with the type of Yeah, with

265
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: the hype of a potential NCAAVO game return, it's time

266
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: to pay the players for their likeness. According to Dan,

267
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: what random endorsements can you think of that would make sense.

268
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is if everybody's likeness is getting

269
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: involved in this game, and perhaps you know this is

270
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: an example, this is nothing I'd like if Trevor Lawrence, yeah,

271
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: wanted to make has to be like panteen pro v right, Well,

272
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I would even say, EA can pay

273
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: him more to do a fake sponsor. You see what

274
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying here within the show, like maybe it's between

275
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: core and like there's a little pop up square and

276
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: just like Trevor Lawrence here and I'm here to tell you,

277
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's just more just super likenessy, it's just him

278
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: in the game in the way that when you would

279
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: play some basketball game from the nineties, like Charles Barkley

280
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: would pop up and say something crazy, that's what I

281
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: want within the game. That's how they're really taking advantage.

282
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: So it's a super personal way to do things. So

283
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: he's asking, though, what what random endorsements would actually make

284
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: sense for college football players outside of appearing in this

285
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: video game. Oh god, I've got a bunch. Well go ahead,

286
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: give them what.

287
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: I still got to go through all my modes and

288
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: how I would improve the game.

289
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: But continue, so it's a weird College football is a

290
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: weird mix fandom wise of older you know, richer or

291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: just fans who are nostalgic about the time they were

292
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: in school fifties, sixties, seventies, right, So you want to

293
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: appeal to them, but you also want to appeal to college

294
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: students who are going to the game. So it's a

295
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: good mix. So something like ride hailing, like at an

296
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: uber Lyft sponsorship, I imagine ride hailing in college town's enormous.

297
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: Everybody's going out, you want to get home. You're not driving.

298
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: So whether it's uber Lyft or whoever, I think that

299
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: makes that's an actually serious answer, right sure. Oh yeah.

300
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Barbecue accessories, it's related to college football. You get your rubs,

301
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: some tongs, a cutting board, whatever. You get some offensive

302
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: linemen in there. I actually think offensive and defensive linemen

303
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: stand to gain the most because they can leverage their

304
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: size in way like a water park sponsorship, like come

305
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: out to Dean's Dean's House of Slides and we'll have

306
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: a cannonball contest with the Georgia offensive line. I think

307
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: you get stuff like that. Anything Japanese, anything, anything involving

308
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, kickers, punters whoever. Where they're doing, like

309
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: pickle juice soda for a Japanese brand, be wonderful. And

310
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: I imagine they've got some cash they're willing to pay

311
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: for their their spokespeople. Cereal makes a good deal of sense.

312
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: You got a lot of young fans back in the box,

313
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: snack food, hot tubs, mattresses. There's a product. They're definitely

314
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, but it's applicable to large men's sweating.

315
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: If you heard of dude wipes, I have not do

316
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: you can you guess what they are? I can take

317
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: a pretty educated guess as to it. They're odor free wipes, Okay,

318
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: that you can use anywhere on your body that you

319
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: see fit. I think that would make it.

320
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: I think EA can shoot a little higher than dude wipes.

321
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: But it is a random endorsement.

322
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about EA. I'm just talking in general

323
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: in general likeness. Yes, these are just general likenesses. Yes, okay,

324
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: fair enough general likeness sponsorships. But man, I really want

325
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: to do happenings with whatever. NCAA twenty twenty one just

326
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: all like we are just going to random, random places,

327
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: probably in college towns, you know, we're probably going on tour.

328
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: We're doing Madison, we're doing Colge. Do it both Missouri

329
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: and South Carolina. I'm just saying I would do it.

330
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm obviously we're one of the Bronx.

331
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 2: If they're making a new version of the game, they

332
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: got to steer into recruiting because presumably when it happens,

333
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: it happens quick. If they've got to spin it up quickly.

334
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: I would take the old recruiting system and just put

335
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: it in the new game. The old recruiting system was

336
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: pretty good, even if you kept it intact in twenty

337
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: twenty or twenty twenty two. The old system was was

338
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: pretty perfect moving forward. If you're going to build anything new,

339
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: you find ways to enhance that recruiting mode with like

340
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: new pitches and new ways maybe to negatively recruit, but

341
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: steer into signing day or both signing days. Now, a

342
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: transfer portal, all that stuff is very nuanced in very

343
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: college football.

344
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: So oh, I could imagine a great like graphical motion

345
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: graphical intro into the transfer portal.

346
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, shoo shoo, shooooohoo, it'd be cool, it would

347
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: be excellent. So you steer into that, you steer into

348
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: the Playoff Committee. Like maybe you're inside the room with

349
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: RC Slow Company God when he's making his old man

350
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: case for the top four. That's that's something you can

351
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: look at.

352
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: I would only be on board with that happening if

353
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: if you remember the nes Games where I mean this

354
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: ties into last week, Well, you'd be going through an RPG.

355
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: You'd be going through a land and you'd like go

356
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: into a sword and Spear emporium to buy something, and

357
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: you start talking to the proprietor of the Sword and

358
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Spear emporium, and all that comes up is text on

359
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: the screen and ruver and that comes up underneath whoever

360
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: it is, Rob Mullins. You know that kind of stuff

361
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: where it's just like wow, Ohio standards, but everything that

362
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: you actually hear is and just the text appears underneath that.

363
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: I'd be on board with. I don't want actual speech

364
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: at that point.

365
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: Making a D mode where you can upgrade facility God

366
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: iron Fire, that'd be cool.

367
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I would do. I would I would play on strength

368
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: coach mode. I would choose probably the Northwestern Dude, maybe

369
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: Oregon's Aaronfeld, where he's just like you have to hit

370
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: certain benchmarks between seasons and Dynasty mode in the locker room.

371
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: It's like it's the NCAA version of in Street Fighter

372
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: when you're beating the crap out of the car, right,

373
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: just mashing buttons. Yeah, you're just mashing buttons. So you're

374
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: just doing squats and lunches and you're doing like the

375
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: box jumps. That's that's a mandatory thing between seasons.

376
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: Essentially the same thing as my favorite Nintendo game of

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: all time, Capcom's Gold Medal Challenge.

378
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Yes, just slamming buttons?

379
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, Can Neil Brown take West Virginia Good above

380
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: the eight win level consistently?

381
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: That's from Frank. Yes.

382
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 2: Now, Neil Brown is your boy, so I don't don't

383
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: want to steal your thunder here, but I will say

384
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: I think the answer is absolutely yes. What I find

385
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: interesting about Neil Brown and correct me if I'm wrong,

386
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: since you are the Neil Brown aficionado of the program,

387
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: He's got all sorts of offensive experience before becoming a

388
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: head football coach, but he's not running any kind of

389
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: pass happy system. This isn't going to be the Holgerson offense.

390
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: He's really good at.

391
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: Winning in the trenches, and he's really good at finding

392
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: an offensive system that fits personnel. And most interesting of

393
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: all is that despite being an offensive minded guy, his

394
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: defenses have been baller.

395
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been very very good.

396
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: And he's bringing his DC over from Troy with him

397
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 2: to West Virginia.

398
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: So Troy these last few years sixteen, seventeen, eighteen after

399
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: they go four and eight, ten, eleven and ten wins,

400
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: but that includes bulls, so nine, ten and nine by

401
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: my math, so yes, that's above eight. And if you

402
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: look back to where West Virginia was during their best

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: year in the Big Twelve, which I believe is twenty sixteen,

404
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: they ran the ball very very well, they defended the

405
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: run very very well. And West Virginia's recently scheduled pretty

406
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: well in the non conference portion of their schedule. So

407
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: coming up, they do have some significant opponents. They I mean,

408
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: the backyard brawl is back starting. I want to say

409
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. They're playing three or four times. They

410
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: have Alabama in six or seven years, but they have

411
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. They have Florida State on a neutral site.

412
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it's in Atlanta. They have Missouri, so they

413
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: have I think a home and home with Penn State.

414
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: So if you throw in a loss probably most years

415
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: in the non conference, or not most years, but every

416
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: so often, and then a couple losses in Big twelve time.

417
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it's doable. It's all about going to be

418
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: about the defense. I don't think it's going to be

419
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: a great year one because of what they have to replace.

420
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Quarterback is a big question mark. Offensive line does not

421
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: look great right now, receiver does not look great. Defense

422
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: may be okay at spots. It's all going to be

423
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: for him. It's going to be defense in the in

424
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. And if they're going to get to

425
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: that point, they're going to need to recruit Florida very well.

426
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: He's going to need to develop diamonds in the rough.

427
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm confident that he'll be able to do that. Nine

428
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: every year, nine plus every year is a lot. I'd

429
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: say eight plus. I think they'd be in a good

430
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: place there. He says consistently eight nine plus. I thought

431
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: he said more than eight. Okay, eight win level. Consistently

432
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: he said above an eight win level. My math tells

433
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: me nine is above eight. I think he can get

434
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: to eight consistently. I'm curious about this offense, curious about

435
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: whoever ends up starting Jack Allison or Austin Kendall. Yeah.

436
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: I like Neil Brown. I like that higher.

437
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: I think is a really really good higher, and I

438
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: think defense can be a competitive advantage in the.

439
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Don't I'm not in love with King. I believe it's konig.

440
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Is that how you pronounce it? I looked up the

441
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: pronunciation guide? Okay, wow, look at you. I'm not in

442
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: love with vic. He has been like a poor man's

443
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Jim Cheney defensive consultant type to me, and I generally

444
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: don't trust them as for like consistent high level play.

445
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: But he was great for Troy and that defense. They've

446
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: been absolutely terrific against the run. I hope it keeps up.

447
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: But there, I think they're gonna be doing some adjusting

448
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: scheme wise.

449
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, can it scale up, especially in the Big twelve

450
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more wide open?

451
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: Okay? So I would say there to get to nine

452
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: wins a year on average regular season wins, not nine

453
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: including a bowl, I would give it a forty eight

454
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: percent chance of happening.

455
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: All right, I'll go a little higher than that, but

456
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: I see where you're coming from. Abbit what Big ten

457
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: team will have the biggest upset? Alert during the season.

458
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: This is an excellent question. I don't know about upset alert,

459
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: but I'm going to harken back something I said a

460
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. The biggest letdown look ahead sandwich

461
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: is Michigan going to Indiana November twenty third. It's one

462
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: week after hosting Michigan State and one week before hosting

463
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: Ohio State. That, my friends, is the letdown look ahead

464
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: sandwich of the big season.

465
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: That's the obvious one. Yes, I've got an open faced

466
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: let down look ahead sandwich. Remember the definition of an

467
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: open facer I do, of course, bye week after the situation.

468
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: So I have Michigan at Maryland, which I'm not super

469
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: keen on Maryland this year. A lot of questions all

470
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: over the place. I don't know if I love them.

471
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: On defense with I think it's Brady Hoake's older brother,

472
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: That's who was there, John Hoak. John Hoak, oh I

473
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: looked it up. He was with Tampa Bay last year.

474
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: He was long time I think Chicago Bears defensive backs coach.

475
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Defensive backs coach for Tampa Bay last year. Not a

476
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: good past. Defense turns out thirty two out of thirty two.

477
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: Not a good place to be not all on them, but.

478
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: Two syllable names are very unfulfilling.

479
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: I have So Michigan is playing Notre Dame. I believe

480
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: in the Big House this year. Right then they have

481
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: Maryland on the road, then they have a bye and

482
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: then they have Michigan State. Okay, So I think there's

483
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: an open face quality to that. I think there's only

484
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: three teams that could qualify as right now being on

485
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: upset alert. I don't think there is a true Wisconsin

486
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: upset alert. I don't think there's a true Michigan State

487
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: upset alert. After last year. I think it's just Michigan,

488
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and Penn State right now. Is that reasonable?

489
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Those three teams are the true If we're talking upsets

490
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: in May, I think it's after last year. It's not

491
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: a big upset of Michigan State loses to a lesser

492
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: team ORF Wisconsin right now loses to a lesser team

493
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Ohio State at Northwestern on that weird Friday. Yeah, it's

494
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: before Wisconsin and after a bye week, so scheduleized that

495
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: could be a little bit strange for them going to

496
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Field and then Penn State at Minnesota. Penn State

497
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: will not have played at home in three weeks with

498
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: a buy in there, and that would be after three

499
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: good defenses. I think it's the Michigan schools and Iowa,

500
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: so presumably just being away from home and strange beds

501
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: good defenses. I'd watch out for that one, especially with

502
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: how Minnesota finished last year.

503
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: We'll see Chris with some random rapid fire what's more

504
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: likely questions? I like it? Yes, first one, a team

505
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: other than Georgia wins the SEC East or a team

506
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: other than Alabama wins the SEC West. I think I

507
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: would rather have a team other than Georgia winning the SEC.

508
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: I think Florida's closer to Georgia than the team is

509
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: in the West to Alabama right now. And I wish

510
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: it were LSU. But if you could remind me, it's

511
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: been years since they've scored a point against Alabama. Years.

512
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: Kansas wins three games or Kansas wins any other number

513
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: of games, right.

514
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take other, I'm gonna go other, I'm gonna

515
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: go under. I'm gonna go under.

516
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: With that a non Power five team, and he says

517
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 2: in parentheses, Notre Dame is eligible finish is in the

518
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: top eight in a final pre Bowl ranking, or one

519
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: of Alabama or Clemson misses the playoff.

520
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: I boy, I don't.

521
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: Think Alabama or Clemson are missing the playoffs, So by default,

522
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm going a non Power five team finishing in the

523
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: top eight.

524
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna take either Alabama or Clemson missing the playoff.

525
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: Alabama most likely has to go through Georgia. Clemson loses

526
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I hope it doesn't happen, but that's that's

527
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: sort of a razor with thin margin at that point.

528
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: We saw what happened last year, so I think there

529
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: are too many variables, and Alabama still has a tough

530
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: schedule in the SEC WES. Clemson most certainly does not

531
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: and will not have to go through anybody all that

532
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: good in their conference championship game. But yeah, Alabama going

533
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: through Georgia once again with Jake From might be the

534
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: first quarterback taken in the draft next year, right, it

535
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: might be. I don't want to have a discussion about this.

536
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying Jake From in his if Daniel year,

537
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: if Daniel freaking Jones can go top two, Okay, so

538
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: forget the NFL draft.

539
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: It's the NFL Draft. And by the way, I think

540
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: LSU in my head, LSU did score a touchdown. They've

541
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in the last three years against Alabama,

542
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: so I regret the error. I think Jake from having

543
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: that experience playing on a big stage looking as good

544
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: as Georgia did for a good chunk of last year's

545
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: game and for the National championship game the year before.

546
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with that, all right, okay, us

547
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: next rapid fire non quarterback wins the Heisman, or a

548
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: player from a note on playoff team wins the Heisman,

549
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: I'll take non playoff. I'll take a non playoff team

550
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: because I can still get a quarterback. That way, I

551
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: could still get you know, Dwayne Haskins was a finalist

552
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: last year as a non playoff player.

553
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: A coach not named Sabin or Sweeney wins a playoff game,

554
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: or a player not named Tua or Lawrence wins the Heisman,

555
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: that's a really good one.

556
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take the first one because they could be

557
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: playing each other in the first round. I was thinking

558
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: that as well.

559
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't think it's likely, and I think it's far

560
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: less likely that Tua or Lawrence won't win the Heisman.

561
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go I agree with you, but

562
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: even like Soart, Yeah, finishing one and two means they

563
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: both are either undefeated or have a terrific loss.

564
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: To stay at one or two. And I think they

565
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: could randomly lose a game and still make the playoff

566
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: like Alabama did without winning their division a couple of

567
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: years ago. Sure, absolutely, and just sneaking as like a

568
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: three or four and end up playing each other. I'm

569
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: going to allow you.

570
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: To rant on part F here in Chris's rapid fire

571
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: what's more likely questions the PAC twelve champion has fewer

572
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: than two losses, or the PAC twelve champion comes from

573
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: the South Division. I think we are in agreement on

574
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: this one, but I would like you to just go

575
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: ahead and rant.

576
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know the PAC twelve champion having fewer

577
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: than two losses, So you're talking about an eleven and

578
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: one I guess twelve and one champion, that's what he's saying.

579
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see it.

580
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: So by default, then it's got to be from the

581
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: South Division, could be could be USC maybe.

582
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: Thanks take Utah Utah the South.

583
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, there will be a five overtime plus game

584
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: this year, or there will not be a five overtime

585
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: plus game this year.

586
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: I say no. I say no.

587
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: And finally, Illinois will make a bowl game or Colorado

588
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: will make a bowl game. So he's saying ill versus Colorado.

589
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: I would most definitely go with Colorado on that one.

590
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: I think so too. I'm pulling up their schedule right now.

591
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: They have an experienced quarterback, they have maybe the best

592
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the country, so a game changer. Not

593
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of schools can claim that. Colorado State Nebraska

594
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: both at home, air Force at home, so they're not

595
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: leaving Boulder until they travel to Asu. Who's going through

596
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: some changes, new quarterback there, possibly a freshman. So if

597
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: we're counting winnable games, Colorado State and Nebraska, air Force,

598
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: Arizona State Arizona, that's five. UCLA is six. I don't

599
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: think either one of them is making a bowl game.

600
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: This might be my favorite question we've ever gotten.

601
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready.

602
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: Jason says, if you had to pick a college stadium

603
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: to occupy to defend yourself against roving hordes, he has zombies, fans,

604
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: et cetera. Which stadium do you pick to give you

605
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: the best chance of survival. You got to consider all

606
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: sorts of things.

607
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Here.

608
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: He has sight lines, points of entry, food offerings and

609
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: the like.

610
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: Dan, do you have an answer for this?

611
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: I thought long and hard and probably put too much

612
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: energy into it, but I feel like I have a

613
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: good answer.

614
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking dope Campbell, Okay, while I'm going to Tallahassee.

615
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: You have a mascot with a flaming spear. That helps.

616
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: It does help that. I don't know if there is

617
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: a better you're talking if you talk about like the

618
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia musket. If you're shooting blanks, you're talking cannons

619
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: at various schools. You're shooting blanks. That's a flaming spear.

620
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Is a flaming spear? Is a flaming spear? That's right.

621
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: So I'm presumably getting access to that, getting a weapon. Yeah,

622
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting a nice weapon there, or an armory of

623
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: flaming spirits.

624
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: And a horse and a horse which, provided you can

625
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: ride the horse, gives you a way to get around.

626
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: And also the surrounding area in Leon County and the Panhandle.

627
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: If we're talking about an apocalypse, we're also talking about

628
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: weapons everywhere, illegal pets on the loose, like it's an

629
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: area where I feel like there is going to be

630
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: some backup if they're willing to be on my side. Okay,

631
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: so I'm going to Campbell. I am harnessing the energy

632
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: of FSU Twitter.

633
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: What I like about it is that it's in the

634
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: shape of a bowl mm hmm. And it's a major

635
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: college football stadium where in crowd control is something they've

636
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: clearly figured out.

637
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: But it's old enough that there's not it's not intricate, no,

638
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: like there's not that hat walks. That's the place to hide.

639
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: I don't want Beaver Stadium because then I got to

640
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: worry about the zombies getting onto the upper deck and

641
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 2: what the hell you're going to do. Then conversely, I

642
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: don't want something like a Sam Boyd Stadium comes to

643
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: mind for UNLV, where you've basically got one whole side

644
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: of the stadium. I don't know how well you know

645
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: Sam Boyd. I don't know why I thought I was

646
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: the back of my hand. Yeah, but there's a whole

647
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: area behind a scoreboard where there's just it's like a

648
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: hill and they could just stream in and then your

649
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: toast you've got nowhere to go. I don't want that either.

650
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't want zombies coming in unabated. I like the

651
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: cut of your jib with Dope Campbell. I think the

652
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 2: answer is Michigan Stadium.

653
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: Here's why. So you have your bowl, you've got the bull.

654
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: It's obviously a huge stadium, but it's built a little

655
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: bit like Fenway Park in that it's built down into

656
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: the ground, right, so you've got really good sight lines

657
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: from the top of the stadium. You can always fight

658
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: from an elevated position, which I like, which is helpful.

659
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: You've got consistent terrain to fight on because it's in

660
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: the shape of a bull. It bows out a lot,

661
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: and you've got consistent points of entry. So I like

662
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: that about Michigan Stadium. Plus, they're used to having a

663
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: large capacity crowd there. There used to crowd control, presumably,

664
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: tons of places to eat. If you've got to go

665
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: and raid a concession stand, you know you can. You

666
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: can make do with Michigan Stadium. I think that's the

667
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: correct answer.

668
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: Counterpoint, if this is your new home stadium, there's just

669
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: too much history there of the home team losing when

670
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: the stakes are oh damn, and when when everything's on

671
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: the line with zombies and here's the other thing about

672
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: Michigan Stadium. There's a certain quiet to it that can

673
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: be come on, I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm married into

674
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: a mazing blue family.

675
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: The answer is Michigan Stadium.

676
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I'm sticking with dok.

677
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to Josh, what's your preferred college football

678
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: preview mag and why.

679
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I've really grown to like Fawn a lot. Okay.

680
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: They've incorporated people that we've had on this show a lot.

681
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: They're incorporated some analytics angles. It's sort of no nonsense.

682
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: But it's all in English. It's not like there aren't

683
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: seventy three different abbreviations that I suddenly have to like

684
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: turn to a legend to remember what I'm looking at.

685
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: There's nothing that's referencing, like looking at a Notre Dame

686
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: preview that's talking about Tommy Reese. Excuse me, Tom.

687
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: Reese, Tom it's tom. There's just too.

688
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: Much context in some other some other magazines. And I

689
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: just there's a depth chart, there's a schedule, they're position

690
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: group breakdowns. It's a great pooper guide. I love it.

691
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: They're all they're all very good, the delights, they're all

692
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: very if I'm picking though I probably go athlon as well. Yeah,

693
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: I buy them all for what it's worth.

694
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: But how do you feel? How do you feel about

695
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: the anonymous scouting reports.

696
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: I'm a huge sucker for the not like the the

697
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: blind item.

698
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: They are ethically hazy, ethically in a very strange place.

699
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: You're talking like page six kind of well it's out, okay.

700
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: So if you don't know what we're talking about in

701
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: athlon for each team, say they're talking about I don't

702
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: know Texas A and M, they'll be like a rival

703
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: assistance take It will be like the offensive line was

704
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: super overrated last year. I don't think they've got the

705
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: bodies up front on defense, and while I like their

706
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, I don't think their quarterback has that highest ceiling.

707
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: They're much more beatable than people realize. Now you're hiding

708
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: behind anonymity to say mean things, which again ethically not wonderful.

709
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: As you know, somebody interested in media and journalism, but

710
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: somebody interested in like the sweet sweet juice that that

711
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: nectary gossip.

712
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: I love it all right, Yeah, Kevin in Washington, do

713
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: you think it's possible ed Orgeron could be on the

714
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 2: path to building LSU in the same way that Davos

715
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 2: this is the good stuff built Clemson over the last

716
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: few years. He goes the reasoning for my question. LSU

717
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: was trended better over the last couple of years overall,

718
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: including a Big Bowl win last year with a horrifically

719
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: tough schedule, and there seems to be a lot of

720
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: similarity between Dabo and Orgeron in terms of the strengths

721
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: and weaknesses they bring to the head coach position. Dan,

722
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: this is an excellent question, Thank you, Kevin.

723
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: We've started seeing this a lot in a lot of

724
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: different places with new coaches and strategies that like they're

725
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: going to do for their new program what Dabo did

726
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: for Clemson, and that is they're just gonna worry about

727
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: big picture stuff and recruiting and infrastructure and operations, and

728
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be hands off with offense and defense.

729
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: They're going to not take as much money and spend

730
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: all their money on the assistance and coordinators and do

731
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: everything they can't make the environment great sech assistance and

732
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: coordinators will want to stay. All of that under sells

733
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: an incredibly important point. What if you just can't dabboise

734
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: your program what if, and stay with me here, what

735
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: if Dabo Sweeney is uniquely excellence? What if he's just

736
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: an incredible football coach and not a template? Is that?

737
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? What if he's really good? And

738
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: I think the fact that like he portrays this at

739
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: times sort of aw shucks kind of thing, like he's

740
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: not actually that good, He's just tapped into a strategy.

741
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's so misleading.

742
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: It does go against the Beyonce principle of finding another

743
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: Dabbo in a minute.

744
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: It does. And I mean I remember hearing about this

745
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: when Willie Taggert was hired at Orgon, that he's going

746
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: to do for Orgon what you know, he's a great

747
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: recruiter and he's very likable blah blah blah. And you

748
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: know he hired Jim Levitch and he's paying all this

749
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: money on coordinators ya Mark Crystabal, these big splash hires.

750
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: Doing what Dabo did at Clemson has to be nearly impossible,

751
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: because if it weren't, everyone everybody would be doing it.

752
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: They have this thing with baseball players, and I forget

753
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: who came up with the stat, but once they get

754
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: to fifteen hundred at bats, you sort of know what

755
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: they are, and I think both Dabo and Coach O

756
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: at this point have reached their proverbial fifteen hundred at bats.

757
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 2: We know what they are. I feel a lot more

758
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: confident in saying that Coach O isn't going to get

759
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: to Dabbo heights than otherwise, So I'd love to be

760
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: wrong about that. I love LSU football. I'm rooting for

761
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: Coach O. I think it's a great story. I don't

762
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: think I agree with the premise here that he's going

763
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: to build it Dabo style and turn LSU into the

764
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: next Alabama of the West.

765
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: Right, it's not a prefab situation now, you are not.

766
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: It's unlikely that anybody will ever be able to do

767
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: what Dabo did for Clemson. And LSU is a national

768
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: champmanship winning program recently, recruits have been alive. I believe

769
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: you know they won in what two thousand and seven? Yep,

770
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: So you're talking about recruits having vague recollections of LSU

771
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: as a top tier team and they were in the

772
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: national championship what twenty twelve, twenty eleven. So LSU is

773
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: in a good place brand wise. The big difference right

774
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: now between Clemson and LSU is. LSU's quarterback is fine.

775
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: Clemson's quarterback is amazing.

776
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: Trevor is Trevor want by the way, Trevor Lawrence, by

777
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 2: the way. I don't mean to paint coach O in

778
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: any kind of negative light too late.

779
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: He could at Origron's a really good coach. I really

780
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: like LSU.

781
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: He could never even sniff Dabo Sweeney and still be

782
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 2: very good at LSU and build LSU into something more

783
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 2: than they've been the previous fifteen years. It's not to

784
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: say that coach O is doing a bad job or

785
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: is going to do a bad job. It's just Dabo

786
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: is clearly at a place now in college football that

787
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: puts him in rarefied air.

788
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: There's something else. There's something else that should also is

789
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: relevance to the discussion of whether or not at Origeron

790
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: can do for LSU what Dablosweeney has done for Clemson.

791
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: And this is what Dablosweeney also has going for him

792
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: that LSU never ever, will you ready Georgia Tech at

793
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: Syracuse now at North Carolina, Florida State, at Louisville, Boston College,

794
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: at NC State, Wake Forest, Yeah, it's pretty good, not bad.

795
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: It is not pretty good?

796
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on. This one comes from Matt.

797
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if we address this. I think I

798
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: intended on addressing it.

799
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

800
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: We might not have had time on one of our

801
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 2: previous Q and A shows, but I thank Matt for

802
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 2: posting this again. I think on Facebook, at what point

803
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: is a team's past accomplishments irrelevant or not worth mentioning?

804
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: For example, Illinois has five national championships?

805
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: Wow? Five, Yeah, the.

806
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 2: Last of which in nineteen fifty one. Does that even matter?

807
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: Michigan has eleven, with the last in nineteen ninety seven,

808
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: but nothing since the early nineteen hundreds. Do those other

809
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: ten count? A coworker and I have the debate. It's

810
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: written in a very McSweeney's esque way.

811
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: I love it.

812
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: I said thirty years is relevant. He says they are

813
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: always relevant. What are your thoughts?

814
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: Ty? If you go to my childhood bedroom, you're going

815
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: to see a lot of soccer trophies. Don't think I'm

816
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: getting the call up to the men's national team. I

817
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: mean we're talking littered with soccer trophe not going to

818
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: be starting it right back? Eh? Not me?

819
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: Not me?

820
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: And Christian Pulisic whatever, it's not not likely. Here's what

821
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: I would say. Our friend Bud Elliott did a really

822
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: nice job, and I just referenced it. He pointed out

823
00:43:54,600 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: the ages of recruits when school's last won national chamceampionships.

824
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me. I need

825
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: to get my laptop is where it was. But if

826
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: you if a recruit is not alive the last time

827
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: you won a national championship, it's not that it doesn't count,

828
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think you can really talk about your

829
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: program as national championship caliber right appearing or winning the

830
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: other thing. I would say if your team won a

831
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: national championship when technologically the broadcast was extremely different. So

832
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: here's what I'll say. If your team won an last

833
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: one a national championship when it was four x three

834
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: HD was not available, you're not really a national championship

835
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: contending program right now. You're not. You shouldn't be thought

836
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: of in that way. If we're talking about a graphics

837
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: package on ABC or CBS or whoever was broadcasting the

838
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: game that you're just like, oh my god, I totally

839
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: forgot about that weird loop D loopy rainbow scoreboard. You're

840
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: probably this is very much like you might be a

841
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: redneck if but you're on a national championship contending program

842
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 1: or not a national championship owning program. In any sort

843
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: of relevant way, it has.

844
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: To be within your peripheral view right in order for

845
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: it to actually carry any weight. It doesn't mean that

846
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: because it happened in nineteen fifty one, it doesn't count

847
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: for Illinois.

848
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: Of course, it counts for Ille or if the best

849
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: player on that team has been working in a non

850
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: football job long enough to have tenure or to have

851
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: had a party celebrating how long he's been working at

852
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: this nont it's gone pro in something other than football,

853
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: like I think it's timed, like for Illinois specifically, they

854
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: went to the rose Ball with Juice Williams. Jews Williams

855
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: has probably been working somewhere for a long time, not

856
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: in football. Can't really talk about Illinois as like, y, yeah,

857
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: we're Rose Bowl. Yeah, it's a you know Jews Williams

858
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: huh sear Bendenhall. Yeah.

859
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: Of course the nineteen sixty one Yankees matter because the

860
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: Yankees have won multiple times since eighteen sixty one, Right,

861
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty one has been a long time. It does

862
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: not carry weight with it, but it certainly carries the

863
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: banner and all the pomp and circumstance that came along

864
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 2: with winning a championship. However many years ago, I can't

865
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 2: even count that high. Yeah yeah, Red Grange, you got Rayniski.

866
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a list right now. You can drop

867
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: all stick Bud guess you can drop all sorts of

868
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: names here. Do we want to go one more college

869
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: football and then close to one more college football?

870
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: Maybe we got.

871
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 2: Fifteen to twenty minutes of none?

872
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm ready.

873
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: You can change one rule. This is from Ryan Oh.

874
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: It's a good question. One rule for.

875
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: The twenty nineteen season. What would it be?

876
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: I've got two because that's how I roll. I'm going

877
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: to ban punting. Okay, who gets excited about You get

878
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: more football plays? You get twenty five percent more plays

879
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: in a game like football plays. Not that punting is

880
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: not a football players, but you know what I'm talking about.

881
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: Somebody under center as so. End zone PI is a

882
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: touchdown in the same way that end zone holding in

883
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: your own end zone or some sort of penalty committed

884
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: in your own end zone is a safety. End zone

885
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: PI touchdown. Boom. Okay, and obviously you're gonna have terrible

886
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: calls and it's gonna swing things. But I like that

887
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: idea because I don't want intentional jersey grabbing. I don't.

888
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's that does much for me

889
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: from a football perspective.

890
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: I am getting rid of targeting.

891
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

892
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: I care about player safety, but maybe.

893
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Not as much as I should so, so if you're

894
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna ban targeting, then I think you should probably also

895
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: ban kickoff returns.

896
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna just kick offs in general. I didn't

897
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 2: think that deep that balances it out. It does balance

898
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: it out, but I'm banning targeting in part because I

899
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 2: don't think the rule has been applied correctly and I

900
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: think it gets in the way, especially since we have

901
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 2: replay and there's still bad targeting calls. But that's a

902
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: separate discussion for another podcast. Getting rid of targeting first

903
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: and foremost. And I'm also allowing holding. Actually I'm allowing

904
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: it on offense. I'm allowing it on defense. I just

905
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: want to see how much these guys want it. If

906
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: you're a defensive lineman and you're being held, you got

907
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 2: to earn your keep to make it through that three

908
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty pound offensive lineman to get to the quarterback.

909
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: I am saying, the guy who shouldn't have been in

910
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve review booth for I think it was

911
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: Washington State USC. He is the only one reviewing calls

912
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: for all.

913
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 2: Only glasses ref. Can we have glasses ref? Oh no,

914
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 2: let's not do that. But yeah, some lawyer for the

915
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: PAC twelve. All right, you want to talk non football?

916
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: If you've exhausted yourself, let's ridiculous football time.

917
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's pick out some non college football. So again,

918
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: if you're.

919
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: Listening at home, if you tuned in for the football,

920
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: you're more than welcome to stay for the fun. But

921
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: if you made it this far, we do appreciate it.

922
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 2: We'll be back next week's same time, same place. We

923
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 2: got ten or fifteen minutes. Here, let's say of non

924
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 2: college football. Dan, I'll let you pick from the hat.

925
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead. What is the most unlikely product? Again, this

926
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: is Northwestern Chad's keen Signiara, this is coming out party.

927
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: What is the most unlikely product that you'd go out

928
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: of your way to write a five star review for

929
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: on Amazon? And he says his is a mole killing trap.

930
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 2: A mole killing trap.

931
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, he's got he's got moles apparently destroying his yard.

932
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: What is a five star review that you will go

933
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: out of your way to leave for something you ordered.

934
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be an Amazon but something online.

935
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 2: I ordered a very cheap plastic trophy for a golf

936
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 2: outing more of a gag gift. Yeah, that I would

937
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 2: give a five star review. There's really nothing to review

938
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: other than the fact that it didn't break when it

939
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: got to That's true, So that's one I think the

940
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 2: more practical answer, though, gag gift. The side is one

941
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: of two things. Okay, I ordered the smoke detectors, remember

942
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 2: the ones that I said I went above and beyond

943
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: to make sure that they were of the safest and.

944
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: The Catillac Go smoke detectors.

945
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would probably write a review. I don't know

946
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: what the review would say, but I feel like they're

947
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 2: really good quality, and I would write a review for

948
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: a smoke detector. I would also write a review. I

949
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: bought many more than I should have, like a dozen

950
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: and a half of those like solar powered pathlights that

951
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: you put out in front of the house.

952
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: Have you seen these things? You know what I mean, yeah,

953
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: are they like the airport lights kind of things? Sort of?

954
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: They're made of they're made of what I would describe

955
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: as the cheapest quality plastic known to man. But because

956
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: they've got the solar panel, the wee solar panel at

957
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 2: the top, the size of like a square of duct

958
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 2: tape on the very top, and because they light up

959
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 2: at the same time every night reliably, I feel like

960
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: they deserve a five star review.

961
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: Great.

962
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's very unlikely the review would not be helpful,

963
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 2: But off the top of my head, that's the direction

964
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: I'm going.

965
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: My wife loses her keys pretty consistently. She's a very

966
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: bright person. She's just sometimes scatterbrained. And I ordered her

967
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: one of those alarms that you put on your keychain

968
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: that you can set off a beeping, a loud beeping

969
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: from your phone. Does it actually work? It works so well, really,

970
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: and it makes my day. She's probably lost her keys

971
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: since we got one of these things. That was like

972
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty bucks, probably three four times. One, it's incredibly

973
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: helpful and it works and it helps her to find

974
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: her keys. But two, it's great because she forgets how

975
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: to use the app, and so she has to come

976
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: to me and be like, so I need to find

977
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: my keys, and I know there's an app and I

978
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: know you know how to use it, so and it's

979
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: wonderful every time it works perfectly. And I get that

980
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: situation every time. Where are we going next? We're gonna

981
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: go too. Let's go to Ben.

982
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: Now.

983
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: Ben had a pretty good question. I guess people are

984
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: asking about beach verus lakes or lakes versus salt question before,

985
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: haven't we? I think we've done that question. I prefer

986
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: the saltwater. I like waves, but I appreciate a good

987
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: lake because it's easier to get a house on a

988
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: lake and grill and go on pontoon boats. It's a

989
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: good time. It doesn't have to be one better than

990
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: the other. We can all be secure in our preferences.

991
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: Bugs at the lake, don't you? There are bugs at

992
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: the lake? Yeah? I go. There are bugs and sometimes

993
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: humidity because of said bugs. Yeah. What was your favorite

994
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: jersey to wear growing up? Tis to know? Oh, buddy,

995
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: what was yours?

996
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I'm not going to say favorite, but I

997
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 2: had a hodgepodge of really random jerseys. In the NBA,

998
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: I was the proud owner of a Mahmud abdul Rahuf

999
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: Nuggets jersey.

1000
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: Right, shout out to Chris Jackson slash Mahmud abd rahoof.

1001
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 2: In the NHL. I had, Yeah, that's right, I had one.

1002
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 2: I had one of those Phoenix Coyote jerseys. Oh my gosh,

1003
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 2: who was it? I don't remember. I believe it was

1004
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 2: the goal whoever the goalie was at the time. Either

1005
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 2: that or it didn't have a name on the back,

1006
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: but I had one of those. I also had a

1007
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 2: Boston Bruins jersey. It was a big Ray Bork fan

1008
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: back in the day.

1009
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: Have to be yeah.

1010
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: On the baseball side, I don't know if I had

1011
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: a jersey John Wetlands. No John Wetland jersey, thankfully David

1012
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: Kohane now didn't have any Yankees jerseys, okay, and I

1013
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: don't think I had any Giants jerseys. Chris Sabo I

1014
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 2: may have had. I know I had a number three

1015
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame jersey. But the good part about Notre Dame

1016
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 2: jerseys is because there's no name on the back, it's

1017
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: transferable from season to season.

1018
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: It was a Rick Meyer jersey.

1019
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 2: It may still be in my closet back at Mammy

1020
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 2: H's house. There was also a Penny Hardaway era for me.

1021
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1022
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 2: I feel like every kid but I had. I had

1023
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: the light blue Orlando Magic version.

1024
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yeah one I had. I don't

1025
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: even know how many jerseys I had because I didn't

1026
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: really wasn't really a jersey person. But I loved my

1027
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: original Toronto Raptors Damon Stoudemier. Oh yeah, okay, purple not white,

1028
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: went with the purple. I loved him at Arizona. My

1029
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: mom went to Arizona. So I rocked that for a

1030
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: good chunk of time. I like it. Ty, What is

1031
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: your go to meal? For those? Quote? Bring something to share?

1032
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 1: Social gatherings, pot, lux, tailgates, et cetera. Ryan wants to know, Oh,

1033
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: go to meal? Mm hmm. I got two really good

1034
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: options for you. Bring something to share?

1035
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 2: Well?

1036
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what do you What do you bring in

1037
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: to share? Bringing a casse role, bringing a dip? Are

1038
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: we assuming that I'm cooking it or are we doing

1039
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: something to it or arranging it? Yeah?

1040
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: Or is it something that I could buy it like

1041
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 2: you could if you.

1042
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: Could have sound like fruit salad would count. Okay, So

1043
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw together a fruit salad, something that you

1044
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: are not just bringing from the grocery store to the gap.

1045
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 2: Why don't you go first. I need to think this

1046
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: one over a little bit.

1047
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: All right. I make a terrific charred corn salad. You

1048
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: throw the corn current, throw the corn cobs on the grill,

1049
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: and there's like a honey, seracha garlic dressing. It's charred corn,

1050
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: black beans, avocado, serrano chilis clanch. It's great, It's really

1051
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: really good. That's a recipe from a barbecue place in

1052
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta called bees Crackling. And then just some homemade cookies.

1053
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: People are always very impressed when I've shown up, be like, yeah,

1054
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,919
Speaker 1: I made some cookies like you made these? Like yeah,

1055
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: I just mixed together a couple ingredients and threw together

1056
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: some golf balls on a pan and in the oven,

1057
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: and then brought them over like wow, that is incredible.

1058
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: So people have low expectations of most of us, So

1059
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: thrown together some cookies. I think it's a great call.

1060
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: I make a really good roasted vegetable concoction. And what

1061
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: I like about it is, first off, it's simple to make.

1062
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 2: You cut up vegetable. It's very vague, I know, but

1063
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: that's that's sort of the hidden secret. It's not so

1064
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: much the vegetables, because you look at them and think, oh, well,

1065
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: what's so special about that?

1066
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: What's the vehicle you're bringing it in? But there is.

1067
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: It Usually just a pan, standardish your pan, you cook

1068
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 2: it on a cookie sheet. But there is a honey

1069
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 2: dijon sauce that I've learned to make that is very

1070
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 2: secretly delicious.

1071
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: That's great.

1072
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: So there's more to it than meets the eye, which

1073
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 2: is one of the reasons why I like bringing it.

1074
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: This goes into Matt's question of could you please give

1075
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: a ranking of things that should be grilled? That's a

1076
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: who it says, maybe a top five. Okay, that's more limiting,

1077
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: and one underrated thing that I should try on the grill.

1078
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: So okay, I've got good. I've got some answers here.

1079
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: Do you ever grill a banana? No? I haven't. I

1080
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: don't really love bananas. I's good.

1081
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 2: It's it's tough to grill, but it's actually pretty.

1082
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: Good if you do it correctly. My underrated answer is peaches.

1083
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: I will slice up some peaches, I will bathe them

1084
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: in honey water for a little bit. I will charm

1085
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: on the grill and then crank some sea salt on

1086
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: top of those suckers when they when they're ready and charred.

1087
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: Okat sweet and sour sweet and salt, not sour sweet

1088
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: and salty salty, because the honey gives you a nice

1089
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: caramelization on it. So it's wonderful, especially if you're into

1090
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: ice cream. It's sort of like a it's a peach

1091
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: cobbler without any cobble. It's great. I would, you know,

1092
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: marinate some carne asada, anything that cooks quickly on a grill,

1093
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: So any thin steak that's marinated, like bulgogi, You want

1094
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: some Korean barbecue, Oh, it's wonderful. It is very rare

1095
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: that I will have a lot of people over and

1096
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: do some sort of big grill cookout style thing without

1097
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: just making a mount of onions and peppers on the grill.

1098
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: I'll change the question around a little bit and say

1099
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: that I think chicken is overrated on the grill, and

1100
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 2: I think.

1101
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: Chicken marinated chicken this can be really good on the grill.

1102
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: Chicken thighs, yes, yeah, because there's that natural built in

1103
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: moisture to it. Yeah, But like chicken breast It's very

1104
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 2: easy to screw that. Oh yeah, yeah, very easy to

1105
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 2: screw that up. Now, if you lather enough barbecue sauce

1106
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 2: on it, you can make anything taste good.

1107
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm living in a PBW. It's I'm living in a

1108
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: post breast world. Yeah, okay. I would also say, if

1109
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: you can get a pizza steel, you throw the pan,

1110
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: the pizza pan essentially on the grill for like forty

1111
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: five minutes until it's like six hundred degrees. Then you

1112
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: put the pizza on that and absorbs the heat really well,

1113
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: and you get a great pie on them. You've been

1114
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: and called a kettle pizza. Yeah, you've been pumpingy.

1115
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 2: You've been any for like months now because you know

1116
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: that we're putting the patio on the back here to

1117
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 2: try and buy. How much does this thing costs? This contraption?

1118
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: Like eight hundred Well a.

1119
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,439
Speaker 1: Really good one, yes, a really good tabletop pizza oven.

1120
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: We'll set you back seven eight hundred bucks. But I

1121
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: think you can do pretty well for two or three

1122
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. That might be a little too rich for

1123
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: my blood. You like pizza, but maybe not that much.

1124
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 1: You know how there are dance moms that are living

1125
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: vicariously through their four or five six year old, and

1126
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: they're you know, stage moms. They're like pushing them too

1127
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: hard to fulfill their own dreams. I feel like I'm

1128
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: a patio dad. Yeah, I feel like living in an

1129
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: apartment as you build a patio. I'm trying to live

1130
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: vicariously through you. All right? I love this question? Are

1131
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: you ready? Due to circumstances beyond my control? This comes

1132
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: to us from an anonymous verballer WHOA, my wedding is

1133
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: going to have to be somewhat limited time wise with

1134
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: an open dance floor about two hours. How do I

1135
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: make sure the dance floor stays full for the entirety

1136
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,959
Speaker 1: of the two hours? Please don't use my name on air.

1137
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: That comes to us from Oh wow, they're really famous. Okay, sorry, Ty,

1138
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: what's your answer?

1139
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: Okay, my wedding is going to have a somewhat limited

1140
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: time with an open dance floor.

1141
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah about.

1142
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what closed dance floors are, but I'm

1143
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 2: ready to figure it out. How do I make sure

1144
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: the dance floor stays full for the full keep the

1145
00:59:59,520 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: party going?

1146
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: M hmm.

1147
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 2: So what Anonymous has not specified here is the other

1148
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 2: circumstances surrounding the wedding. Is there an open bar that helps?

1149
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Believe me? That helps well. That does take people away

1150
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: from the dance floor, though if there takes people going

1151
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: to dance floor, yeah, but not if you have a

1152
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: good pre reception ceremony with an open bar, if you

1153
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: get people liquored up enough by the time they get

1154
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: to the dance floor, they're a little bit more likely

1155
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: to get out there. You ever go to a wedding

1156
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: with a bar on the dance floor, because I have

1157
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: had that work out. In each corner of the dance

1158
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: floor there was a little tequila cart where you could

1159
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: either get shots of tequila or little margarita shots, and

1160
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: people loved it.

1161
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: That'll help, right, That will help help. Yeah, So that's

1162
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 2: the first thing. Open bar, preferably before you get to

1163
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: the dance floor I think helps. Secondly, it might be obvious,

1164
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 2: but good music, good music, a live band, that'll help.

1165
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1166
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 2: But good music first and foremost I think is is

1167
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: going to get people out there, and then if you

1168
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 2: can nudge them a little bit more out onto the

1169
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 2: dance floor with a good liquor situation, that's probably your

1170
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 2: best bet.

1171
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: I would also say Cocktail Weenies, Cocktail Weenie Fountain in

1172
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the dance floor. Music wise, lean heavy

1173
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: on like a middle ground era of songs. So you're

1174
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: not going uptown funk and you're not necessarily going my girl.

1175
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: You gotta find the happy medium where the older part

1176
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: of the crowd is familiar and the younger part of

1177
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: the crowd is familiar. So is in sync to modern

1178
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: I think that's too modern, too modern, Okay, I would say, okay,

1179
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: everybody wants to dance to shout. That's facts only, right, Sure,

1180
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I want to dance with somebody. You make my dreams

1181
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: sign sealed delivery. It's a little older, I don't know,

1182
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, ain't no mountain high enough. Everybody still loves it.

1183
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: But like foot Loose Jackson five, I want you back. Yeah,

1184
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: that I think if you lean into oh yes, of

1185
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: course I've heard this song, and then like everybody younger

1186
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: like hell yeah, I want you back. So I think

1187
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: that's the move where you're not alienating somebody with your music.

1188
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: What about electric Slide, it's a good time. I would

1189
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: do it a little bit later on, when the tequila

1190
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: card is really pumped in.

1191
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Macarina, some popular ones like that will do the trick.

1192
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: You're losing people. You're losing people. It's real stationary, which

1193
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: will appeal to the older crowd, but I think you're

1194
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: losing the younger crowd. There.

1195
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: It's a good question, Anonymous. I hope your wedding goes well.

1196
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I hope it does too. This is from just some guy.

1197
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah it's too Dan, that's me and Ti, but mostly

1198
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: maybe then I went through it.

1199
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: Let me read it then, Okay, if it's to you,

1200
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 2: My wife and I just found out we are expecting

1201
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: our first child in late December. Congratulations, just some guy.

1202
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 2: Two questions here? Question one here, Dan, what is the

1203
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 2: number one thing you did to make Jody with an

1204
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Eyes life better during her pregnancy?

1205
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: So I can speak very specifically to this because one,

1206
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm a dad. The solid baby looks a little bit

1207
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: like me, so Ven firmed. Two he was born in

1208
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: late January, so winter baby, I would say. Jody with

1209
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and I did not really have morning sickness. And part

1210
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: of that is just luck, but part of it is

1211
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: also right when she woke up, she started pumping carbs. Yeah,

1212
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: just I woke up and I made her toast, got

1213
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: some granola bars. You know, whatever whatever was she was

1214
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: craving that. You hit that real early. It sets the tone.

1215
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Drink a lot of water, make sure there's always water around.

1216
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you live in a big city

1217
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: or not. And so we're used taking public transportation places,

1218
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: but like after dinner, she'd be a little uncomfortable. So

1219
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: more cabs and ubers. I don't love doing that, but

1220
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I said, sure, let's take more cabs and ubers, more

1221
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: ac than usual. It already feels freezing, but sure, uh huh,

1222
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: let's do it. So that's how I made her more comfortable.

1223
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I would say his number two.

1224
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 2: Point, number two point help me choose a baby moon destination.

1225
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 2: He says, we live in Chicago, so really anywhere in

1226
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: the continental United States is fair game. I'm just going

1227
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 2: to say, if you're doing baby moon, and presumably your

1228
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 2: wife is mid pregnancy.

1229
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: It'll be in the warmer time a year. Yeah, warmer

1230
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: time of year.

1231
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to lump on top of

1232
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 2: that a longer plane ride. Planes are uncomfortable enough, as

1233
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 2: is maybe something maybe a nice road trip somewhere you

1234
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 2: can drive to.

1235
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: I would say that is spot on. Luckily they're in Chicago,

1236
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: so they're pretty central. Don't go anywhere humid if it's

1237
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: over the summer, so that probably eliminates most of the South,

1238
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: unless there's a part of the South that doesn't get

1239
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: humid over the summer that I don't know about. But

1240
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: because you are central, we consider two places that were

1241
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: opposite coasts. One would have been a very long flight,

1242
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: and I'm still kind of bummed we didn't go. But

1243
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: that was Pacific Northwest, not super humid up there. Seattle, Portland, Vancouver.

1244
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Great food on the water, it's you can hike, you

1245
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: can just chill, you can go to if you're into

1246
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: going to independent record stores. Come on. Nothing no better

1247
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: area than that. But we ended up going to Maine,

1248
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: which also ruled it was great. We went to Portland, Maine,

1249
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: which you can fly into from Chicago. I'm pretty sure

1250
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: the food there is incredible. It's super walkable. If you

1251
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: feel like being on your feet a ton, you can be.

1252
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: If you don't, you can just chill and eat oysters

1253
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and whatever. And two we drove up to bar Harbor, Acadia.

1254
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: My wife bah Bah Jody with and I was what

1255
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: five six months pregnant. We totally dominated Acadia a lot

1256
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: of easier hikes, but it's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful up there

1257
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: was not humid again, great food. I'd never been to Maine.

1258
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: I have zero regret about doing it. I had a

1259
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:50,439
Speaker 1: wonderful time.

1260
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Aarin here. Question for a

1261
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 2: generation good one. What are your thoughts on groomsman gifts?

1262
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Most are alcohol related? And after being in a bridal

1263
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 2: party for a dozen or so weddings, I have all

1264
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: the engraved flasks I will ever need. Follow up question,

1265
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 2: can you give a power ranking.

1266
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: Of the different levels groom and gifts?

1267
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so just let's I mean, he's got a bunch here.

1268
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk through our theories around groomsman gifts I gave. Yeah,

1269
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 2: I So we did two things. First Off, they everyone

1270
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: bought suits for our wedding and we were able to

1271
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 2: negotiate a pretty serious discount, so everyone ended up getting

1272
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 2: a decent suit at a very very reasonable price. But secondly,

1273
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 2: everyone got the tie as well, so we threw in

1274
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 2: the tie. I agree completely with Aaron. Don't go with

1275
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: the engraved flask please, yeah, please? So I've never used

1276
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 2: mine once. What is the best gift that you've received

1277
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 2: as a groomsman, I received a toilet a tree bag.

1278
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Oh that actually I liked that a lot.

1279
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 2: I received a toiletry bag with an engraved or I

1280
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: guess not engraved, an embroidered h on it that I

1281
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 2: use still to this day, probably ten years later. That

1282
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: was the best gift I've gotten. It's simple, it was

1283
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 2: probably very affordable, and it's got extreme utility.

1284
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: If you were a groomsman for me, and I had

1285
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: gotten you that gift, which I think is a very

1286
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: good idea great a one percent, would have been beautifully

1287
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: embroidered whatever it was cloth or leather, it would have

1288
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: been beautifully and tastefully embroidered with ties potty bag. It

1289
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: would have really gone for that irony there.

1290
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 2: But I thought that would have gone with Pinch Stripe

1291
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 2: Bowl champions But that's now that's it went up.

1292
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: It would be lined with the Penn Stripe Bowl Championship shirt.

1293
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, you get a portable charger, that's great.

1294
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: I just want I want something useful. I want people

1295
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: to get something useful out of it. Maybe it's embroidered,

1296
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: whatever it's engraved, I would probably go If I get

1297
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: married again, which I really hope I don't have to.

1298
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: I would probably do what my friend Scott gave both

1299
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Jody and myself as gifts for the Solid Baby, which

1300
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: were really just gifts for us premium sweatpants, m premium sweats,

1301
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: because I know they're just going to get a ton

1302
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: of use. They don't need to be personalized whatever. If

1303
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what brand does the best and softest

1304
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: and most ridiculously comfortable sweatpants, that's what I'm doing. I'm

1305
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: not overthinking it. I'm just giving somebody a gift that

1306
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: they're going to get a ton of use out of.

1307
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Or fire extinguishers, yeah, okay, or just something that will

1308
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: save their life.

1309
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 2: I've got two more questions here, and then we'll go

1310
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 2: all right, let's do it along the same lines of

1311
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 2: a wedding. Someone writes in going to a wedding this

1312
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 2: weekend an old coworker of mine. The entire table I

1313
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 2: will be at is former co workers and boss that

1314
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 2: don't exactly love each other.

1315
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1316
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm expecting several to be openly hostile with one another.

1317
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 2: Thoughts on how I should approach.

1318
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: This, Oh gosh, hit on all of their daughters, Yeah,

1319
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: if they're of age, I don't know. I don't know

1320
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: if he's the only one that he knows there, Like

1321
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: outside of these uncomfortable coworkers, I can get hit the

1322
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: dance floor hard. I don't know, stay away, leave early.

1323
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: I think can have a great time. And he says

1324
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,600
Speaker 1: it here I didn't read it. He says that he

1325
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: is the Switzerland of the group. Nobody really hates me,

1326
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: at least not that I know of. So that puts

1327
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: you in a situation. I guess you could. Yeah, I

1328
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: guess you could find a common enemy. Like if nobody

1329
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: there is from accountant and they're like, oh, these idiots

1330
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 1: accounting couldn't even make it, and you find the common enemy.

1331
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I think.

1332
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: I think it's actually quite simple for him. If he

1333
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: is it's your lind Yeah. And if to his knowledge

1334
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 2: no one has beef with him, he should be able

1335
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 2: to go up to whoever he wants and chat with them.

1336
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be awkward for him. He says,

1337
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: there's an open bar. He literally will not know anyone

1338
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 2: else at the wedding, and he's wearing a light purple

1339
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 2: shirt with navy pants, so that that's friendly. That gives

1340
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: you a talking point you can break the eyes pretty easily.

1341
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 2: And if no one hates you, you should have the

1342
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 2: latitude to go up to whoever you want, just chat

1343
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 2: him up at your take, shat him up.

1344
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: But like, the only thing you have in common with them?

1345
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: Is this what it is? An ex coworker? He says,

1346
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 1: it's limited, the old limited ceiling of yeah, old coworker. Yeah.

1347
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: So you don't really have much talk about you just

1348
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: catching up about kids and stuff like that. So you

1349
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: make small talk. You go up to the bride and groom.

1350
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: You're like, listen, I'm so touched that you invited me.

1351
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: At some point, I'm gonna leave, and you know, I'm

1352
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: probably not gonna say goodbye because you're saying go bye

1353
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: to all sorts of people, and then you usually fifteen

1354
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: minutes later.

1355
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 2: Two other points here that I want to bring up

1356
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 2: before we get to our final question. Okay, yeah, two

1357
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 2: other ways that you could play it, sir, if you're interested.

1358
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 2: Depends how dangerous you feel. Oh god, he says. He's

1359
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 2: wearing the purple shirt and the navy pants, white purple shirt.

1360
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: You're colorful, he says, literally, he won't know anyone else

1361
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: at the wedding. There's a chancey single.

1362
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, colorful plus one yeah friendly.

1363
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 2: That could be a nice recipe for you, just saying,

1364
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 2: or option B if you're really feeling saucy right before

1365
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 2: you're ready to leave. If these aren't people that you're

1366
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 2: particularly friendly with, maybe just throw a nice little grenade

1367
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 2: at the table and say, then you guys all used

1368
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: to hate each other, and then leave.

1369
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean, then you don't really get to see the fireworks, though.

1370
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: Just get the party started. Leave on a high note.

1371
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 2: Assume that you're going to get the fireworks started.

1372
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that just seems evil. I like you. I like

1373
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: where your head is at, though I do final we

1374
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: have a final duo of questions final due all right,

1375
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: span the same topic.

1376
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 2: This is the most random question we got from a

1377
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: long time listener. Okay, iuld you rather fight a silver

1378
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 2: backed gorilla or take a two year prison sentence? Uh?

1379
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: To your prison. There's a chance that I can go

1380
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: to a nicer minimum security.
