0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>always over there in stormy New York City, the one,

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the only Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you Ty?

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one for signs from above now, I'm not

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>one for omens. I'm not one for good luck. But

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I was walking back from the office space at which

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I work back to the cloth is here where I

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>record the show and do all the the audio recording

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I do, and I faintly hear something and it's getting

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>louder as I'm walking closer and closer too in the

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>direction I'm walking, it's getting louder and louder and louder,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden I can make out

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>what it is, and it's that boom boom boom boom

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>ba boom boom bao super bass. And I was like, okay,

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>if I am walking to do the show, and tis

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>selection for what he would quote sing on a nationally

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>televised singing competition show comes on. I'm feeling good.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Had some commentary on that on the old Twitter sphere.

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, people not feeling it.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 2>One gentleman in particular said it totally makes sense. I'm

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 2>not sure if I should take that as a compliment.

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing it wasn't. But what happened with the spirit

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>with which it was intended? Whatever? Gotta be honest. This

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>is a show about honesty. Welcome to the saliverbal I'm Tie,

<v Speaker 2>had an incredible AMA with our good friend Oh yeah

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.839
<v Speaker 2>at Goalie Junior earlier this week.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you see that? I did? It covered a range

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>of topics, a lot of South Bend food talk, which

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how applicable it is to me, but

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>it's applicable to somebody. And he talked about preparing for Navy,

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>he talked about body arts, a lot of food stuff, coffee, mapps.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>He really touched on a good variety of things. So

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I was very pleased with how that turned out. And

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have more of these. We know a lot

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of people that have interesting things to say, like MGJ.

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Somebody asked if anybody had called him Mike Garlic, Yeah,

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>which I think is great, terrific, It's delicious. Get that

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>alice in any way you can. It's the chemical compound

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 1>in there. And so very excited for the future of

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 1>the AMA.

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so all sorts of ways that you can get

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>in touch with the show of course, solidrable agmail dot

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>com if you want to email in you've got something

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to get off your chest. We did a lot of that.

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>So here's what we've been doing the last couple of weeks.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>As we made the turn into May, which by the way,

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>it was the one hundred day mark not so long ago.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>That's right until the college football season starts. But typically

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the way this show works, you and I we've been

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>doing this for a while. When we make the turn

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>into May, there's always that brief moment of panic, like,

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>oh hell, what are we talking about in May? Yes,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and even into the early part of June, I think

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>we have that sentiment. But then as we get into July,

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, August gets a little bit bigger

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>in the window. And once we get to August, it's

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 2>time to actually start talking about college football in the season.

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>So it'll be here before you know it. What we

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>did the last two weeks. Last week, I did the

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 2>really weird role playing thing that I thought that was wonderful.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate everyone in indulging me. Yeah, Journal, thank you.

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>It seems like it went over well, so I'm okay

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>with it. The week before that, you had twelve questions

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>eight college football for non college football that you wanted

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to pose to me. And now, because we've been putting

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>this off, and because we've promised our lawyer for loyal

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 2>overbawl ers, not lawyer over ballers, those two both both

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to be doing Q and a's once

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>a month. We wanted to cast a wide net and

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 2>see what kind of questions we could gather to do

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 2>on h to answer on this show.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's where we're at tonight. I wonder how many

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>lawyer overbawlers there actually are probably exists. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry, but we do have We have a

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>number of questions about We have a number of questions

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>about just random things in college football and outside of

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>college football. In the way of news, there's not much,

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>although there's like a weird committee in the NCAA trying

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to figure out, if you know, we can do a

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>likeness thing with players and making some money off of

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>their faces and brands. So that'll take forever and ever,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>but it probably gets us into our first question pretty easy. Congratulations, Skippy,

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 1>you've got mail. You've got mail. On the solid verbal.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>As often as we can we like to pay homage

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>to those of you who ride into the solid verbal

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's start first and foremost. You dovetailed quite nicely, thank

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>for our first question or first series of questions.

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Really? Yes, Northwestern Chad. Yeah, I'm giving him that nick dame.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I was not a self imposed nickname. But he's a

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern fan. His name is Chad, and he's been asking

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>us enough questions. It's like when you ascend to a

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>certain boy scout Eagle scout out and you get enough badges.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Chad has enough ver balling badges. We're like, we give

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>them a nickname.

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Does EA Sports have a secret team of programmers working

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>on an updated to the minute version of the NCAA

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 2>football game? You know, just in case they suddenly get

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the all clear from the nc DOUBLEA and the courts

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>and the players to launch a new title. Dan I, okay, yeah,

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I have do intel. I have a very high.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Level of confidence.

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, oh my gosh, that EA is ready to

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>move the millisecond they get the green light. I think

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>they're prepared for it. I think they're working towards it.

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>If you've read any of the press releases around Madden twenty,

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 2>you know that they're going to be ten schools featured

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 2>in Madden twenty Clemson, USC, Oregon, I think, is going

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to be in Florida, an Texas Tech.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Got in there somehow.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>But there are there are a grouping of schools that

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>are going to be prominently featured in the game, which

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I think is cool.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine those schools and players playing for those

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>schools in the game. They will go out of their

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>way to make it seem like there is no clear

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>connection between current college players. We go Oregon, Justin Herbert, tall,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>thin quarterback for Oregon that game, short fat, possibly Korean. Yeah,

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure exactly the manner in which those teams

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>will be represented, but they will have a presence in

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it'll be like remember the Mario hockey

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>game or it was just like skinny medium.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking that when you were talking about

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what they're doing. Skinny medium, medium, medium fat,

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>skinny medium. Great.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>There was a mode last year too where you could

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>work a player through the college ranks and get him

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to the NFL. I think this represents some of Yea's

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 2>on going efforts to rebuild the relationship with the NC

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>double A. They're doing what they need to do to

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>mend those fences and just trying to get a sense

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>for what will work what won't work in the future

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 2>when they decide to launch this game. There's still obviously

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>a very big following. We are in our thirties at

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>this point, Dan, you still have an interest in it.

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You have a child. My guess is that your desire

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to have this game back in your life has not

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>diminished as much as perhaps it should, despite being a

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:30.559
<v Speaker 2>new father.

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>What was what was your ideal setup for playing NC DOUBLEA, Like,

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>how would you carve out your space physically? Like would

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you have a drink by your side? Would you be

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>playing music? Would you be like where would you sitting?

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>What TV were you playing? I had okay with whom

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>were you playing? If anybody?

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 2>When I was still in my old apartment before meeting

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>before the old crash pad marrying solid life Kate, the

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 2>apartment that you could move out of forty five minutes,

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 2>that's right. We had robust dynasty going a robust online dynasty. Yeah,

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and we had the TV mounted on the wall. We

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>had those old couches and that was that was the

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>ideal set up.

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>You were playing with your buddy Feldman.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I was playing with him a lot, Yeah, and along

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>with other friends who weren't located in the same space,

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>but that was that was sort of the dream man.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I played on Brown Beauty, my old couch that unfortunately

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Jody with and I was like, I think, what's something

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to retire brown Beauty. I was like, but She's like, no,

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's time.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Played on Brown Beauty, beautifully soft microfiber, chocolate brown couch.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I had a black leather couch, Black Beauty that the

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>solid wife Kate immediately relegated to our basement.

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I would throw on a podcast, either just out loud

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>on my phone or on my headphones or something like that,

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>because and I would have I would still have the

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>EA sounds, you know, I'd still have Kirk karb Street

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>saying like, I don't know why they went for there,

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>very low. I had a good mix going, cold beverage going,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and I would generally because I didn't sometimes i'd play

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>with my brother who lives near me, but a lot

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of the time I was just playing online and it

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>felt great.

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 2>It was the best. It was the best. All right,

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Ray says, Let's say EA scopes out the landscape of

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>college football and they decide that you two the solid

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 2>verbal whoa. Yeah, you guys are influential enough to have

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>input on the relaunch. What new features would you want?

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>What previous features would you want to return? And why

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 2>is the college rock playlist from NC DOUBLEA Football two

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>thousand and six not on that list even though it

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 2>absolutely should be.

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So much da la soul in my brain because of

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>NC DOUBLEA two thousand and six, I think bad religion,

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>lag wagon bands like that. Oh, it was wonderful, it

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was good, really good. What features would would I want

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to return? I was always just big on playing online

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and getting my record up. I liked playing with friends.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I like playing with my brother. I did really do.

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I did one Dynasty and it was fun. I created players,

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I liked recruiting all that kind of stuff. But it

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>was really the essence of it was the competition, getting better,

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>figuring out audibles that would work for me on either

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, you know, the just sort of

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the tweaks and figuring out who I was as a player,

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>as my playing brand, if you will. So, I don't

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 1>think there's specific features. My curious thing though, is when

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>he says, if we're influential enough to have input on

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the relaunch, what I would want to do is I

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>would want to somehow have EA leak the game to

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>us well in advance and through our show. We're dropping

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>nugs tie and you are listening to the show for

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Easter eggs. Some of it is very direct, like, oh,

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>this is in a game we're playing, and some of

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it you have to listen back, maybe play our voices

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>in reverse to hear about new features and maybe release dates.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>It's an Easter egg hunt, is how we're involved with this.

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Remember when Twitter was new and the first really big

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>athlete was Shack Right and he was like, Hey, everybody,

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go get some tay food at this place.

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Anybody want to come hang and hit some some crab

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>rangoon And it was just like a crazy thing. That's

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>what I would do with this game. I'm like, all right,

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we're at Target, we're in Columbus, Ohio. We set it

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>up on one of the TV's, it's gonna be here

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>for an hour. Let's rock. We could do that.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>We could make that word what that was rocks give

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 2>us the word.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Yea, we would do happenings. I think that's the word happenings.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we could do if we were influential enough to

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>have some say over the relaunch. Hopefully they would deem

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>us influential enough to give Locks of the Week during

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Dynasty Mode or Home Dogs. I don't know if Yako's

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 2>could afford that sponsorship for Home Dog of the Week,

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>but maybe like Hatfield could.

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I would definitely be in favor. I would be in favored.

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>You remember, I'm sure you do because we talked about

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>this on our nineties video games episode Bill barn Well.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>The fake sponsors, Oh yeah, where it would be like

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Ed's House of Lobster and body shopping.

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Back in the old Triple Play baseball.

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>There's like Triple Play ninety seven somewhere somewhere in there

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>where they'd have fake sponsors. That would be wonderful and

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it dovetails nicely.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Ty.

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>This is a pro move here. This is a pro

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>move with the hype, with the type of Yeah, with

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the hype of a potential NCAAVO game return, it's time

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to pay the players for their likeness. According to Dan,

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>what random endorsements can you think of that would make sense.

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm saying is if everybody's likeness is getting

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>involved in this game, and perhaps you know this is

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>an example, this is nothing I'd like if Trevor Lawrence, yeah,

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make has to be like panteen pro v right, Well,

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, I would even say, EA can pay

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 1>him more to do a fake sponsor. You see what

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying here within the show, like maybe it's between

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>core and like there's a little pop up square and

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>just like Trevor Lawrence here and I'm here to tell you,

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's just more just super likenessy, it's just him

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>in the game in the way that when you would

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>play some basketball game from the nineties, like Charles Barkley

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>would pop up and say something crazy, that's what I

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>want within the game. That's how they're really taking advantage.

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's a super personal way to do things. So

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>he's asking, though, what what random endorsements would actually make

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>sense for college football players outside of appearing in this

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 1>video game. Oh god, I've got a bunch. Well go ahead,

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>give them what.

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I still got to go through all my modes and

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 2>how I would improve the game.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>But continue, so it's a weird College football is a

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>weird mix fandom wise of older you know, richer or

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>just fans who are nostalgic about the time they were

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>in school fifties, sixties, seventies, right, So you want to

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>appeal to them, but you also want to appeal to college

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>students who are going to the game. So it's a

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>good mix. So something like ride hailing, like at an

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>uber Lyft sponsorship, I imagine ride hailing in college town's enormous.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's going out, you want to get home. You're not driving.

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>So whether it's uber Lyft or whoever, I think that

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>makes that's an actually serious answer, right sure. Oh yeah.

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Barbecue accessories, it's related to college football. You get your rubs,

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>some tongs, a cutting board, whatever. You get some offensive

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>linemen in there. I actually think offensive and defensive linemen

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>stand to gain the most because they can leverage their

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>size in way like a water park sponsorship, like come

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>out to Dean's Dean's House of Slides and we'll have

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a cannonball contest with the Georgia offensive line. I think

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you get stuff like that. Anything Japanese, anything, anything involving

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, kickers, punters whoever. Where they're doing, like

0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>pickle juice soda for a Japanese brand, be wonderful. And

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I imagine they've got some cash they're willing to pay

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>for their their spokespeople. Cereal makes a good deal of sense.

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>You got a lot of young fans back in the box,

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>snack food, hot tubs, mattresses. There's a product. They're definitely

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>not a sponsor, but it's applicable to large men's sweating.

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>If you heard of dude wipes, I have not do

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you can you guess what they are? I can take

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a pretty educated guess as to it. They're odor free wipes, Okay,

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that you can use anywhere on your body that you

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>see fit. I think that would make it.

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I think EA can shoot a little higher than dude wipes.

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>But it is a random endorsement.

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about EA. I'm just talking in general

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in general likeness. Yes, these are just general likenesses. Yes, okay,

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>fair enough general likeness sponsorships. But man, I really want

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to do happenings with whatever. NCAA twenty twenty one just

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>all like we are just going to random, random places,

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>probably in college towns, you know, we're probably going on tour.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>We're doing Madison, we're doing Colge. Do it both Missouri

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.479
<v Speaker 1>and South Carolina. I'm just saying I would do it.

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm obviously we're one of the Bronx.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.479
<v Speaker 2>If they're making a new version of the game, they

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 2>got to steer into recruiting because presumably when it happens,

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>it happens quick. If they've got to spin it up quickly.

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I would take the old recruiting system and just put

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>it in the new game. The old recruiting system was

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.439
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, even if you kept it intact in twenty

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty or twenty twenty two. The old system was was

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 2>pretty perfect moving forward. If you're going to build anything new,

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you find ways to enhance that recruiting mode with like

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 2>new pitches and new ways maybe to negatively recruit, but

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 2>steer into signing day or both signing days. Now, a

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 2>transfer portal, all that stuff is very nuanced in very

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>college football.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 1>So oh, I could imagine a great like graphical motion

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>graphical intro into the transfer portal.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, shoo shoo, shooooohoo, it'd be cool, it would

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>be excellent. So you steer into that, you steer into

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.679
<v Speaker 2>the Playoff Committee. Like maybe you're inside the room with

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 2>RC Slow Company God when he's making his old man

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.719
<v Speaker 2>case for the top four. That's that's something you can

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>look at.

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I would only be on board with that happening if

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 1>if you remember the nes Games where I mean this

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.479
<v Speaker 1>ties into last week, Well, you'd be going through an RPG.

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You'd be going through a land and you'd like go

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.959
<v Speaker 1>into a sword and Spear emporium to buy something, and

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you start talking to the proprietor of the Sword and

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Spear emporium, and all that comes up is text on

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the screen and ruver and that comes up underneath whoever

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it is, Rob Mullins. You know that kind of stuff

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>where it's just like wow, Ohio standards, but everything that

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you actually hear is and just the text appears underneath that.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd be on board with. I don't want actual speech

0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 1>at that point.

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Making a D mode where you can upgrade facility God

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>iron Fire, that'd be cool.

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I would do. I would I would play on strength

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>coach mode. I would choose probably the Northwestern Dude, maybe

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Oregon's Aaronfeld, where he's just like you have to hit

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>certain benchmarks between seasons and Dynasty mode in the locker room.

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's the NCAA version of in Street Fighter

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 1>when you're beating the crap out of the car, right,

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>just mashing buttons. Yeah, you're just mashing buttons. So you're

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>just doing squats and lunches and you're doing like the

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>box jumps. That's that's a mandatory thing between seasons.

0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Essentially the same thing as my favorite Nintendo game of

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.199
<v Speaker 2>all time, Capcom's Gold Medal Challenge.

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, just slamming buttons?

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, Can Neil Brown take West Virginia Good above

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the eight win level consistently?

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 1>That's from Frank. Yes.

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, Neil Brown is your boy, so I don't don't

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 2>want to steal your thunder here, but I will say

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the answer is absolutely yes. What I find

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>interesting about Neil Brown and correct me if I'm wrong,

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 2>since you are the Neil Brown aficionado of the program,

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>He's got all sorts of offensive experience before becoming a

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 2>head football coach, but he's not running any kind of

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 2>pass happy system. This isn't going to be the Holgerson offense.

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>He's really good at.

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Winning in the trenches, and he's really good at finding

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 2>an offensive system that fits personnel. And most interesting of

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 2>all is that despite being an offensive minded guy, his

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>defenses have been baller.

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've been very very good.

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>And he's bringing his DC over from Troy with him

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to West Virginia.

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 1>So Troy these last few years sixteen, seventeen, eighteen after

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 1>they go four and eight, ten, eleven and ten wins,

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>but that includes bulls, so nine, ten and nine by

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.399
<v Speaker 1>my math, so yes, that's above eight. And if you

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>look back to where West Virginia was during their best

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 1>year in the Big Twelve, which I believe is twenty sixteen,

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>they ran the ball very very well, they defended the

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 1>run very very well. And West Virginia's recently scheduled pretty

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>well in the non conference portion of their schedule. So

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.719
<v Speaker 1>coming up, they do have some significant opponents. They I mean,

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the backyard brawl is back starting. I want to say

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. They're playing three or four times. They

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>have Alabama in six or seven years, but they have

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech. They have Florida State on a neutral site.

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's in Atlanta. They have Missouri, so they

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 1>have I think a home and home with Penn State.

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you throw in a loss probably most years

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>in the non conference, or not most years, but every

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>so often, and then a couple losses in Big twelve time.

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's doable. It's all about going to be

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 1>about the defense. I don't think it's going to be

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a great year one because of what they have to replace.

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback is a big question mark. Offensive line does not

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>look great right now, receiver does not look great. Defense

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 1>may be okay at spots. It's all going to be

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 1>for him. It's going to be defense in the in

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.439
<v Speaker 1>the Big twelve. And if they're going to get to

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that point, they're going to need to recruit Florida very well.

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>He's going to need to develop diamonds in the rough.

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm confident that he'll be able to do that. Nine

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>every year, nine plus every year is a lot. I'd

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>say eight plus. I think they'd be in a good

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>place there. He says consistently eight nine plus. I thought

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>he said more than eight. Okay, eight win level. Consistently

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>he said above an eight win level. My math tells

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>me nine is above eight. I think he can get

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to eight consistently. I'm curious about this offense, curious about

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>whoever ends up starting Jack Allison or Austin Kendall. Yeah.

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I like Neil Brown. I like that higher.

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I think is a really really good higher, and I

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 2>think defense can be a competitive advantage in the.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't I'm not in love with King. I believe it's konig.

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you pronounce it? I looked up the

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>pronunciation guide? Okay, wow, look at you. I'm not in

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>love with vic. He has been like a poor man's

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Jim Cheney defensive consultant type to me, and I generally

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>don't trust them as for like consistent high level play.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>But he was great for Troy and that defense. They've

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>been absolutely terrific against the run. I hope it keeps up.

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 1>But there, I think they're gonna be doing some adjusting

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>scheme wise.

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, can it scale up, especially in the Big twelve

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more wide open?

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So I would say there to get to nine

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 1>wins a year on average regular season wins, not nine

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:43.120
<v Speaker 1>including a bowl, I would give it a forty eight

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>percent chance of happening.

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll go a little higher than that, but

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I see where you're coming from. Abbit what Big ten

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 2>team will have the biggest upset? Alert during the season.

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>This is an excellent question. I don't know about upset alert,

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to harken back something I said a

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago. The biggest letdown look ahead sandwich

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 2>is Michigan going to Indiana November twenty third. It's one

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:15.439
<v Speaker 2>week after hosting Michigan State and one week before hosting

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State. That, my friends, is the letdown look ahead

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 2>sandwich of the big season.

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 1>That's the obvious one. Yes, I've got an open faced

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>let down look ahead sandwich. Remember the definition of an

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 1>open facer I do, of course, bye week after the situation.

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>So I have Michigan at Maryland, which I'm not super

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.120
<v Speaker 1>keen on Maryland this year. A lot of questions all

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>over the place. I don't know if I love them.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 1>On defense with I think it's Brady Hoake's older brother,

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>That's who was there, John Hoak. John Hoak, oh I

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>looked it up. He was with Tampa Bay last year.

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>He was long time I think Chicago Bears defensive backs coach.

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Defensive backs coach for Tampa Bay last year. Not a

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>good past. Defense turns out thirty two out of thirty two.

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Not a good place to be not all on them, but.

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Two syllable names are very unfulfilling.

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I have So Michigan is playing Notre Dame. I believe

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Big House this year. Right then they have

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Maryland on the road, then they have a bye and

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:19.120
<v Speaker 1>then they have Michigan State. Okay, So I think there's

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>an open face quality to that. I think there's only

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>three teams that could qualify as right now being on

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>upset alert. I don't think there is a true Wisconsin

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>upset alert. I don't think there's a true Michigan State

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>upset alert. After last year. I think it's just Michigan,

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, and Penn State right now. Is that reasonable?

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Those three teams are the true If we're talking upsets

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in May, I think it's after last year. It's not

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a big upset of Michigan State loses to a lesser

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>team ORF Wisconsin right now loses to a lesser team

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State at Northwestern on that weird Friday. Yeah, it's

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>before Wisconsin and after a bye week, so scheduleized that

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>could be a little bit strange for them going to

0:25:56.280 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Field and then Penn State at Minnesota. Penn State

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>will not have played at home in three weeks with

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a buy in there, and that would be after three

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.200
<v Speaker 1>good defenses. I think it's the Michigan schools and Iowa,

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>so presumably just being away from home and strange beds

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>good defenses. I'd watch out for that one, especially with

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:21.640
<v Speaker 1>how Minnesota finished last year.

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll see Chris with some random rapid fire what's more

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 2>likely questions? I like it? Yes, first one, a team

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 2>other than Georgia wins the SEC East or a team

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 2>other than Alabama wins the SEC West. I think I

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>would rather have a team other than Georgia winning the SEC.

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I think Florida's closer to Georgia than the team is

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in the West to Alabama right now. And I wish

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it were LSU. But if you could remind me, it's

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>been years since they've scored a point against Alabama. Years.

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Kansas wins three games or Kansas wins any other number

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of games, right.

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take other, I'm gonna go other, I'm gonna

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 1>go under. I'm gonna go under.

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 2>With that a non Power five team, and he says

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.919
<v Speaker 2>in parentheses, Notre Dame is eligible finish is in the

0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>top eight in a final pre Bowl ranking, or one

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 2>of Alabama or Clemson misses the playoff.

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I boy, I don't.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Think Alabama or Clemson are missing the playoffs, So by default,

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going a non Power five team finishing in the

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>top eight.

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm gonna take either Alabama or Clemson missing the playoff.

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Alabama most likely has to go through Georgia. Clemson loses

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence. I hope it doesn't happen, but that's that's

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of a razor with thin margin at that point.

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>We saw what happened last year, so I think there

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>are too many variables, and Alabama still has a tough

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>schedule in the SEC WES. Clemson most certainly does not

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and will not have to go through anybody all that

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.919
<v Speaker 1>good in their conference championship game. But yeah, Alabama going

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 1>through Georgia once again with Jake From might be the

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.119
<v Speaker 1>first quarterback taken in the draft next year, right, it

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>might be. I don't want to have a discussion about this.

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm just saying Jake From in his if Daniel year,

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 2>if Daniel freaking Jones can go top two, Okay, so

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 2>forget the NFL draft.

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the NFL Draft. And by the way, I think

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>LSU in my head, LSU did score a touchdown. They've

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>scored a touchdown in the last three years against Alabama,

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>so I regret the error. I think Jake from having

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that experience playing on a big stage looking as good

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>as Georgia did for a good chunk of last year's

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>game and for the National championship game the year before.

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go with that, all right, okay, us

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>next rapid fire non quarterback wins the Heisman, or a

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>player from a note on playoff team wins the Heisman,

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll take non playoff. I'll take a non playoff team

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>because I can still get a quarterback. That way, I

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>could still get you know, Dwayne Haskins was a finalist

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:11.959
<v Speaker 1>last year as a non playoff player.

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 2>A coach not named Sabin or Sweeney wins a playoff game,

0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>or a player not named Tua or Lawrence wins the Heisman,

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a really good one.

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll take the first one because they could be

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 1>playing each other in the first round. I was thinking

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that as well.

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's likely, and I think it's far

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 2>less likely that Tua or Lawrence won't win the Heisman.

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to go I agree with you, but

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 2>even like Soart, Yeah, finishing one and two means they

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>both are either undefeated or have a terrific loss.

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>To stay at one or two. And I think they

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>could randomly lose a game and still make the playoff

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>like Alabama did without winning their division a couple of

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Sure, absolutely, and just sneaking as like a

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 1>three or four and end up playing each other. I'm

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>going to allow you.

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>To rant on part F here in Chris's rapid fire

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 2>what's more likely questions the PAC twelve champion has fewer

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 2>than two losses, or the PAC twelve champion comes from

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the South Division. I think we are in agreement on

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 2>this one, but I would like you to just go

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 2>ahead and rant.

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know the PAC twelve champion having fewer

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>than two losses, So you're talking about an eleven and

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 1>one I guess twelve and one champion, that's what he's saying.

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't see it. I don't see it.

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 2>So by default, then it's got to be from the

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 2>South Division, could be could be USC maybe.

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks take Utah Utah the South.

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, there will be a five overtime plus game

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 2>this year, or there will not be a five overtime

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>plus game this year.

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I say no. I say no.

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>And finally, Illinois will make a bowl game or Colorado

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>will make a bowl game. So he's saying ill versus Colorado.

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I would most definitely go with Colorado on that one.

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. I'm pulling up their schedule right now.

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>They have an experienced quarterback, they have maybe the best

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver in the country, so a game changer. Not

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of schools can claim that. Colorado State Nebraska

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>both at home, air Force at home, so they're not

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 1>leaving Boulder until they travel to Asu. Who's going through

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 1>some changes, new quarterback there, possibly a freshman. So if

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>we're counting winnable games, Colorado State and Nebraska, air Force,

0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Arizona State Arizona, that's five. UCLA is six. I don't

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:41.640
<v Speaker 1>think either one of them is making a bowl game.

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 2>This might be my favorite question we've ever gotten.

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready.

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Jason says, if you had to pick a college stadium

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to occupy to defend yourself against roving hordes, he has zombies, fans,

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. Which stadium do you pick to give you

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the best chance of survival. You got to consider all

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>sorts of things.

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Here.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 2>He has sight lines, points of entry, food offerings and

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the like.

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Dan, do you have an answer for this?

0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought long and hard and probably put too much

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 2>energy into it, but I feel like I have a

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>good answer.

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking dope Campbell, Okay, while I'm going to Tallahassee.

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>You have a mascot with a flaming spear. That helps.

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>It does help that. I don't know if there is

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a better you're talking if you talk about like the

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia musket. If you're shooting blanks, you're talking cannons

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>at various schools. You're shooting blanks. That's a flaming spear.

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Is a flaming spear? Is a flaming spear? That's right.

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm presumably getting access to that, getting a weapon. Yeah,

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting a nice weapon there, or an armory of

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>flaming spirits.

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>And a horse and a horse which, provided you can

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 2>ride the horse, gives you a way to get around.

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>And also the surrounding area in Leon County and the Panhandle.

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>If we're talking about an apocalypse, we're also talking about

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>weapons everywhere, illegal pets on the loose, like it's an

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>area where I feel like there is going to be

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>some backup if they're willing to be on my side. Okay,

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going to Campbell. I am harnessing the energy

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of FSU Twitter.

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 2>What I like about it is that it's in the

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:32.640
<v Speaker 2>shape of a bowl mm hmm. And it's a major

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 2>college football stadium where in crowd control is something they've

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>clearly figured out.

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's old enough that there's not it's not intricate, no,

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's not that hat walks. That's the place to hide.

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want Beaver Stadium because then I got to

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 2>worry about the zombies getting onto the upper deck and

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:54.959
<v Speaker 2>what the hell you're going to do. Then conversely, I

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 2>don't want something like a Sam Boyd Stadium comes to

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:04.560
<v Speaker 2>mind for UNLV, where you've basically got one whole side

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of the stadium. I don't know how well you know

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Sam Boyd. I don't know why I thought I was

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the back of my hand. Yeah, but there's a whole

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 2>area behind a scoreboard where there's just it's like a

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 2>hill and they could just stream in and then your

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 2>toast you've got nowhere to go. I don't want that either.

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't want zombies coming in unabated. I like the

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>cut of your jib with Dope Campbell. I think the

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.399
<v Speaker 2>answer is Michigan Stadium.

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Here's why. So you have your bowl, you've got the bull.

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 2>It's obviously a huge stadium, but it's built a little

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>bit like Fenway Park in that it's built down into

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the ground, right, so you've got really good sight lines

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>from the top of the stadium. You can always fight

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 2>from an elevated position, which I like, which is helpful.

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 2>You've got consistent terrain to fight on because it's in

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the shape of a bull. It bows out a lot,

0:34:56.920 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 2>and you've got consistent points of entry. So I like

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that about Michigan Stadium. Plus, they're used to having a

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 2>large capacity crowd there. There used to crowd control, presumably,

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 2>tons of places to eat. If you've got to go

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and raid a concession stand, you know you can. You

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 2>can make do with Michigan Stadium. I think that's the

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 2>correct answer.

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Counterpoint, if this is your new home stadium, there's just

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:27.759
<v Speaker 1>too much history there of the home team losing when

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the stakes are oh damn, and when when everything's on

0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the line with zombies and here's the other thing about

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Michigan Stadium. There's a certain quiet to it that can

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 1>be come on, I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm married into

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a mazing blue family.

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 2>The answer is Michigan Stadium.

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. I'm sticking with dok.

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's go to Josh, what's your preferred college football

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 2>preview mag and why.

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've really grown to like Fawn a lot. Okay.

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.839
<v Speaker 1>They've incorporated people that we've had on this show a lot.

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>They're incorporated some analytics angles. It's sort of no nonsense.

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.319
<v Speaker 1>But it's all in English. It's not like there aren't

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 1>seventy three different abbreviations that I suddenly have to like

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:19.359
<v Speaker 1>turn to a legend to remember what I'm looking at.

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.399
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing that's referencing, like looking at a Notre Dame

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 1>preview that's talking about Tommy Reese. Excuse me, Tom.

0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Reese, Tom it's tom. There's just too.

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Much context in some other some other magazines. And I

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 1>just there's a depth chart, there's a schedule, they're position

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 1>group breakdowns. It's a great pooper guide. I love it.

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 2>They're all they're all very good, the delights, they're all

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 2>very if I'm picking though I probably go athlon as well. Yeah,

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I buy them all for what it's worth.

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>But how do you feel? How do you feel about

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the anonymous scouting reports.

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm a huge sucker for the not like the the

0:36:57.560 --> 0:36:58.720
<v Speaker 2>blind item.

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>They are ethically hazy, ethically in a very strange place.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>You're talking like page six kind of well it's out, okay.

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 1>So if you don't know what we're talking about in

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:14.920
<v Speaker 1>athlon for each team, say they're talking about I don't

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:17.720
<v Speaker 1>know Texas A and M, they'll be like a rival

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 1>assistance take It will be like the offensive line was

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>super overrated last year. I don't think they've got the

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>bodies up front on defense, and while I like their

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator, I don't think their quarterback has that highest ceiling.

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:33.760
<v Speaker 1>They're much more beatable than people realize. Now you're hiding

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>behind anonymity to say mean things, which again ethically not wonderful.

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>As you know, somebody interested in media and journalism, but

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody interested in like the sweet sweet juice that that

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 1>nectary gossip.

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I love it all right, Yeah, Kevin in Washington, do

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you think it's possible ed Orgeron could be on the

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:59.720
<v Speaker 2>path to building LSU in the same way that Davos

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.479
<v Speaker 2>this is the good stuff built Clemson over the last

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 2>few years. He goes the reasoning for my question. LSU

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>was trended better over the last couple of years overall,

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:15.880
<v Speaker 2>including a Big Bowl win last year with a horrifically

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 2>tough schedule, and there seems to be a lot of

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:23.000
<v Speaker 2>similarity between Dabo and Orgeron in terms of the strengths

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 2>and weaknesses they bring to the head coach position. Dan,

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this is an excellent question, Thank you, Kevin.

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>We've started seeing this a lot in a lot of

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:36.359
<v Speaker 1>different places with new coaches and strategies that like they're

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 1>going to do for their new program what Dabo did

0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 1>for Clemson, and that is they're just gonna worry about

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.960
<v Speaker 1>big picture stuff and recruiting and infrastructure and operations, and

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be hands off with offense and defense.

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.399
<v Speaker 1>They're going to not take as much money and spend

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 1>all their money on the assistance and coordinators and do

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.160
<v Speaker 1>everything they can't make the environment great sech assistance and

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>coordinators will want to stay. All of that under sells

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>an incredibly important point. What if you just can't dabboise

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:14.279
<v Speaker 1>your program what if, and stay with me here, what

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 1>if Dabo Sweeney is uniquely excellence? What if he's just

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>an incredible football coach and not a template? Is that?

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Does that make sense? What if he's really good? And

0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the fact that like he portrays this at

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>times sort of aw shucks kind of thing, like he's

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>not actually that good, He's just tapped into a strategy.

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's so misleading.

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>It does go against the Beyonce principle of finding another

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Dabbo in a minute.

0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It does. And I mean I remember hearing about this

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>when Willie Taggert was hired at Orgon, that he's going

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to do for Orgon what you know, he's a great

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 1>recruiter and he's very likable blah blah blah. And you

0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:55.640
<v Speaker 1>know he hired Jim Levitch and he's paying all this

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 1>money on coordinators ya Mark Crystabal, these big splash hires.

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Doing what Dabo did at Clemson has to be nearly impossible,

0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 1>because if it weren't, everyone everybody would be doing it.

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 2>They have this thing with baseball players, and I forget

0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>who came up with the stat, but once they get

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to fifteen hundred at bats, you sort of know what

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 2>they are, and I think both Dabo and Coach O

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 2>at this point have reached their proverbial fifteen hundred at bats.

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:27.319
<v Speaker 2>We know what they are. I feel a lot more

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 2>confident in saying that Coach O isn't going to get

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 2>to Dabbo heights than otherwise, So I'd love to be

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 2>wrong about that. I love LSU football. I'm rooting for

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Coach O. I think it's a great story. I don't

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 2>think I agree with the premise here that he's going

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 2>to build it Dabo style and turn LSU into the

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 2>next Alabama of the West.

0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Right, it's not a prefab situation now, you are not.

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 1>It's unlikely that anybody will ever be able to do

0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 1>what Dabo did for Clemson. And LSU is a national

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 1>champmanship winning program recently, recruits have been alive. I believe

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 1>you know they won in what two thousand and seven? Yep,

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:10.880
<v Speaker 1>So you're talking about recruits having vague recollections of LSU

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>as a top tier team and they were in the

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>national championship what twenty twelve, twenty eleven. So LSU is

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in a good place brand wise. The big difference right

0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:24.280
<v Speaker 1>now between Clemson and LSU is. LSU's quarterback is fine.

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Clemson's quarterback is amazing.

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Trevor is Trevor want by the way, Trevor Lawrence, by

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the way. I don't mean to paint coach O in

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 2>any kind of negative light too late.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.279
<v Speaker 1>He could at Origron's a really good coach. I really

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:40.840
<v Speaker 1>like LSU.

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 2>He could never even sniff Dabo Sweeney and still be

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:47.919
<v Speaker 2>very good at LSU and build LSU into something more

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:52.319
<v Speaker 2>than they've been the previous fifteen years. It's not to

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>say that coach O is doing a bad job or

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to do a bad job. It's just Dabo

0:41:57.080 --> 0:41:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is clearly at a place now in college football that

0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 2>puts him in rarefied air.

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>There's something else. There's something else that should also is

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>relevance to the discussion of whether or not at Origeron

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 1>can do for LSU what Dablosweeney has done for Clemson.

0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:17.239
<v Speaker 1>And this is what Dablosweeney also has going for him

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:22.480
<v Speaker 1>that LSU never ever, will you ready Georgia Tech at

0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Syracuse now at North Carolina, Florida State, at Louisville, Boston College,

0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 1>at NC State, Wake Forest, Yeah, it's pretty good, not bad.

0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:33.920
<v Speaker 1>It is not pretty good?

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's move on. This one comes from Matt.

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we address this. I think I

0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 2>intended on addressing it.

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:43.759
<v Speaker 2>We might not have had time on one of our

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:46.319
<v Speaker 2>previous Q and A shows, but I thank Matt for

0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:49.800
<v Speaker 2>posting this again. I think on Facebook, at what point

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 2>is a team's past accomplishments irrelevant or not worth mentioning?

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 2>For example, Illinois has five national championships?

0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Five, Yeah, the.

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Last of which in nineteen fifty one. Does that even matter?

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Michigan has eleven, with the last in nineteen ninety seven,

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:15.359
<v Speaker 2>but nothing since the early nineteen hundreds. Do those other

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:19.600
<v Speaker 2>ten count? A coworker and I have the debate. It's

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:21.759
<v Speaker 2>written in a very McSweeney's esque way.

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I said thirty years is relevant. He says they are

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.800
<v Speaker 2>always relevant. What are your thoughts?

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Ty? If you go to my childhood bedroom, you're going

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to see a lot of soccer trophies. Don't think I'm

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 1>getting the call up to the men's national team. I

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 1>mean we're talking littered with soccer trophe not going to

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 1>be starting it right back? Eh? Not me?

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Not me?

0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>And Christian Pulisic whatever, it's not not likely. Here's what

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I would say. Our friend Bud Elliott did a really

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 1>nice job, and I just referenced it. He pointed out

0:43:54.600 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the ages of recruits when school's last won national chamceampionships.

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have it in front of me. I need

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to get my laptop is where it was. But if

0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you if a recruit is not alive the last time

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you won a national championship, it's not that it doesn't count,

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think you can really talk about your

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>program as national championship caliber right appearing or winning the

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:22.400
<v Speaker 1>other thing. I would say if your team won a

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:30.840
<v Speaker 1>national championship when technologically the broadcast was extremely different. So

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 1>here's what I'll say. If your team won an last

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:37.279
<v Speaker 1>one a national championship when it was four x three

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:41.200
<v Speaker 1>HD was not available, you're not really a national championship

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.879
<v Speaker 1>contending program right now. You're not. You shouldn't be thought

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of in that way. If we're talking about a graphics

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>package on ABC or CBS or whoever was broadcasting the

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:52.240
<v Speaker 1>game that you're just like, oh my god, I totally

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:56.520
<v Speaker 1>forgot about that weird loop D loopy rainbow scoreboard. You're

0:44:56.560 --> 0:44:58.400
<v Speaker 1>probably this is very much like you might be a

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:02.200
<v Speaker 1>redneck if but you're on a national championship contending program

0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:05.919
<v Speaker 1>or not a national championship owning program. In any sort

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of relevant way, it has.

0:45:07.520 --> 0:45:10.920
<v Speaker 2>To be within your peripheral view right in order for

0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it to actually carry any weight. It doesn't mean that

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:17.520
<v Speaker 2>because it happened in nineteen fifty one, it doesn't count

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:18.200
<v Speaker 2>for Illinois.

0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, it counts for Ille or if the best

0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.600
<v Speaker 1>player on that team has been working in a non

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:29.799
<v Speaker 1>football job long enough to have tenure or to have

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 1>had a party celebrating how long he's been working at

0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:35.280
<v Speaker 1>this nont it's gone pro in something other than football,

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:40.040
<v Speaker 1>like I think it's timed, like for Illinois specifically, they

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.240
<v Speaker 1>went to the rose Ball with Juice Williams. Jews Williams

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>has probably been working somewhere for a long time, not

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in football. Can't really talk about Illinois as like, y, yeah,

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:51.720
<v Speaker 1>we're Rose Bowl. Yeah, it's a you know Jews Williams

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:53.439
<v Speaker 1>huh sear Bendenhall. Yeah.

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Of course the nineteen sixty one Yankees matter because the

0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Yankees have won multiple times since eighteen sixty one, Right,

0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:05.359
<v Speaker 2>nineteen fifty one has been a long time. It does

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 2>not carry weight with it, but it certainly carries the

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:11.120
<v Speaker 2>banner and all the pomp and circumstance that came along

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:14.239
<v Speaker 2>with winning a championship. However many years ago, I can't

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:19.160
<v Speaker 2>even count that high. Yeah yeah, Red Grange, you got Rayniski.

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at a list right now. You can drop

0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:23.600
<v Speaker 2>all stick Bud guess you can drop all sorts of

0:46:23.680 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 2>names here. Do we want to go one more college

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:28.520
<v Speaker 2>football and then close to one more college football?

0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we got.

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen to twenty minutes of none?

0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready.

0:46:32.120 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 2>You can change one rule. This is from Ryan Oh.

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:37.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a good question. One rule for.

0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:39.120
<v Speaker 2>The twenty nineteen season. What would it be?

0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got two because that's how I roll. I'm going

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 1>to ban punting. Okay, who gets excited about You get

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:52.800
<v Speaker 1>more football plays? You get twenty five percent more plays

0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:55.920
<v Speaker 1>in a game like football plays. Not that punting is

0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>not a football players, but you know what I'm talking about.

0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Somebody under center as so. End zone PI is a

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:04.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in the same way that end zone holding in

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.480
<v Speaker 1>your own end zone or some sort of penalty committed

0:47:06.480 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>in your own end zone is a safety. End zone

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:13.320
<v Speaker 1>PI touchdown. Boom. Okay, and obviously you're gonna have terrible

0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>calls and it's gonna swing things. But I like that

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:19.799
<v Speaker 1>idea because I don't want intentional jersey grabbing. I don't.

0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like that's that does much for me

0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:23.560
<v Speaker 1>from a football perspective.

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I am getting rid of targeting.

0:47:27.280 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I care about player safety, but maybe.

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Not as much as I should so, so if you're

0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:35.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna ban targeting, then I think you should probably also

0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:37.040
<v Speaker 1>ban kickoff returns.

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm gonna just kick offs in general. I didn't

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:42.720
<v Speaker 2>think that deep that balances it out. It does balance

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.120
<v Speaker 2>it out, but I'm banning targeting in part because I

0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:48.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think the rule has been applied correctly and I

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 2>think it gets in the way, especially since we have

0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 2>replay and there's still bad targeting calls. But that's a

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:58.040
<v Speaker 2>separate discussion for another podcast. Getting rid of targeting first

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and foremost. And I'm also allowing holding. Actually I'm allowing

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 2>it on offense. I'm allowing it on defense. I just

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:09.319
<v Speaker 2>want to see how much these guys want it. If

0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 2>you're a defensive lineman and you're being held, you got

0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to earn your keep to make it through that three

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:17.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty pound offensive lineman to get to the quarterback.

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I am saying, the guy who shouldn't have been in

0:48:20.040 --> 0:48:22.319
<v Speaker 1>the PAC twelve review booth for I think it was

0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington State USC. He is the only one reviewing calls

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>for all.

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Only glasses ref. Can we have glasses ref? Oh no,

0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:33.319
<v Speaker 2>let's not do that. But yeah, some lawyer for the

0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:36.520
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve. All right, you want to talk non football?

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:40.520
<v Speaker 2>If you've exhausted yourself, let's ridiculous football time.

0:48:40.600 --> 0:48:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's pick out some non college football. So again,

0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:43.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're.

0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Listening at home, if you tuned in for the football,

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:48.200
<v Speaker 2>you're more than welcome to stay for the fun. But

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:50.640
<v Speaker 2>if you made it this far, we do appreciate it.

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back next week's same time, same place. We

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:56.799
<v Speaker 2>got ten or fifteen minutes. Here, let's say of non

0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:58.839
<v Speaker 2>college football. Dan, I'll let you pick from the hat.

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead. What is the most unlikely product? Again, this

0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:05.280
<v Speaker 1>is Northwestern Chad's keen Signiara, this is coming out party.

0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:08.399
<v Speaker 1>What is the most unlikely product that you'd go out

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of your way to write a five star review for

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:14.399
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon? And he says his is a mole killing trap.

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 2>A mole killing trap.

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, he's got he's got moles apparently destroying his yard.

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:20.640
<v Speaker 1>What is a five star review that you will go

0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:22.399
<v Speaker 1>out of your way to leave for something you ordered.

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:24.240
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be an Amazon but something online.

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I ordered a very cheap plastic trophy for a golf

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:35.600
<v Speaker 2>outing more of a gag gift. Yeah, that I would

0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:38.280
<v Speaker 2>give a five star review. There's really nothing to review

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:41.080
<v Speaker 2>other than the fact that it didn't break when it

0:49:41.080 --> 0:49:44.440
<v Speaker 2>got to That's true, So that's one I think the

0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:48.839
<v Speaker 2>more practical answer, though, gag gift. The side is one

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:54.200
<v Speaker 2>of two things. Okay, I ordered the smoke detectors, remember

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the ones that I said I went above and beyond

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:58.600
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that they were of the safest and.

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>The Catillac Go smoke detectors.

0:50:01.440 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would probably write a review. I don't know

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:06.080
<v Speaker 2>what the review would say, but I feel like they're

0:50:06.120 --> 0:50:07.840
<v Speaker 2>really good quality, and I would write a review for

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a smoke detector. I would also write a review. I

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:14.840
<v Speaker 2>bought many more than I should have, like a dozen

0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and a half of those like solar powered pathlights that

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you put out in front of the house.

0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen these things? You know what I mean, yeah,

0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:27.080
<v Speaker 1>are they like the airport lights kind of things? Sort of?

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:29.920
<v Speaker 2>They're made of they're made of what I would describe

0:50:29.920 --> 0:50:34.560
<v Speaker 2>as the cheapest quality plastic known to man. But because

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:37.480
<v Speaker 2>they've got the solar panel, the wee solar panel at

0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:40.439
<v Speaker 2>the top, the size of like a square of duct

0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.399
<v Speaker 2>tape on the very top, and because they light up

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:46.920
<v Speaker 2>at the same time every night reliably, I feel like

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:48.480
<v Speaker 2>they deserve a five star review.

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Great.

0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:55.000
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, that's very unlikely the review would not be helpful,

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:57.360
<v Speaker 2>But off the top of my head, that's the direction

0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:57.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm going.

0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 1>My wife loses her keys pretty consistently. She's a very

0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:05.359
<v Speaker 1>bright person. She's just sometimes scatterbrained. And I ordered her

0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:08.440
<v Speaker 1>one of those alarms that you put on your keychain

0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that you can set off a beeping, a loud beeping

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 1>from your phone. Does it actually work? It works so well, really,

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and it makes my day. She's probably lost her keys

0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:21.520
<v Speaker 1>since we got one of these things. That was like

0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:27.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen twenty bucks, probably three four times. One, it's incredibly

0:51:27.080 --> 0:51:29.160
<v Speaker 1>helpful and it works and it helps her to find

0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:33.879
<v Speaker 1>her keys. But two, it's great because she forgets how

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:36.279
<v Speaker 1>to use the app, and so she has to come

0:51:36.320 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to me and be like, so I need to find

0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:43.440
<v Speaker 1>my keys, and I know there's an app and I

0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>know you know how to use it, so and it's

0:51:45.600 --> 0:51:47.960
<v Speaker 1>wonderful every time it works perfectly. And I get that

0:51:48.000 --> 0:51:52.319
<v Speaker 1>situation every time. Where are we going next? We're gonna

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:56.400
<v Speaker 1>go too. Let's go to Ben.

0:51:56.760 --> 0:51:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:51:57.719 --> 0:51:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Ben had a pretty good question. I guess people are

0:51:59.280 --> 0:52:03.120
<v Speaker 1>asking about beach verus lakes or lakes versus salt question before,

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:05.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't we? I think we've done that question. I prefer

0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the saltwater. I like waves, but I appreciate a good

0:52:08.239 --> 0:52:10.000
<v Speaker 1>lake because it's easier to get a house on a

0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:12.520
<v Speaker 1>lake and grill and go on pontoon boats. It's a

0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:14.279
<v Speaker 1>good time. It doesn't have to be one better than

0:52:14.280 --> 0:52:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the other. We can all be secure in our preferences.

0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Bugs at the lake, don't you? There are bugs at

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the lake? Yeah? I go. There are bugs and sometimes

0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:27.280
<v Speaker 1>humidity because of said bugs. Yeah. What was your favorite

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:30.960
<v Speaker 1>jersey to wear growing up? Tis to know? Oh, buddy,

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:32.080
<v Speaker 1>what was yours?

0:52:33.040 --> 0:52:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, I'm not going to say favorite, but I

0:52:36.440 --> 0:52:41.720
<v Speaker 2>had a hodgepodge of really random jerseys. In the NBA,

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I was the proud owner of a Mahmud abdul Rahuf

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets jersey.

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Right, shout out to Chris Jackson slash Mahmud abd rahoof.

0:52:50.960 --> 0:52:54.879
<v Speaker 2>In the NHL. I had, Yeah, that's right, I had one.

0:52:55.640 --> 0:53:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I had one of those Phoenix Coyote jerseys. Oh my gosh,

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:03.800
<v Speaker 2>who was it? I don't remember. I believe it was

0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the goal whoever the goalie was at the time. Either

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:10.280
<v Speaker 2>that or it didn't have a name on the back,

0:53:11.520 --> 0:53:13.000
<v Speaker 2>but I had one of those. I also had a

0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Boston Bruins jersey. It was a big Ray Bork fan

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 2>back in the day.

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Have to be yeah.

0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:22.000
<v Speaker 2>On the baseball side, I don't know if I had

0:53:22.040 --> 0:53:27.520
<v Speaker 2>a jersey John Wetlands. No John Wetland jersey, thankfully David

0:53:27.719 --> 0:53:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Kohane now didn't have any Yankees jerseys, okay, and I

0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think I had any Giants jerseys. Chris Sabo I

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:39.279
<v Speaker 2>may have had. I know I had a number three

0:53:39.360 --> 0:53:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame jersey. But the good part about Notre Dame

0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:44.439
<v Speaker 2>jerseys is because there's no name on the back, it's

0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:46.320
<v Speaker 2>transferable from season to season.

0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a Rick Meyer jersey.

0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:50.479
<v Speaker 2>It may still be in my closet back at Mammy

0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:53.480
<v Speaker 2>H's house. There was also a Penny Hardaway era for me.

0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:53:54.520 --> 0:53:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I feel like every kid but I had. I had

0:53:56.719 --> 0:53:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the light blue Orlando Magic version.

0:53:59.160 --> 0:54:01.719
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one. Yeah one I had. I don't

0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.520
<v Speaker 1>even know how many jerseys I had because I didn't

0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:06.120
<v Speaker 1>really wasn't really a jersey person. But I loved my

0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:10.440
<v Speaker 1>original Toronto Raptors Damon Stoudemier. Oh yeah, okay, purple not white,

0:54:10.600 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 1>went with the purple. I loved him at Arizona. My

0:54:12.600 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mom went to Arizona. So I rocked that for a

0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:18.560
<v Speaker 1>good chunk of time. I like it. Ty, What is

<v Speaker 2>you could if you.

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Could have sound like fruit salad would count. Okay, So

0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw together a fruit salad, something that you

0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:59.920
<v Speaker 1>are not just bringing from the grocery store to the gap.

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you go first. I need to think this

0:55:01.880 --> 0:55:02.880
<v Speaker 2>one over a little bit.

0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:06.320
<v Speaker 1>All right. I make a terrific charred corn salad. You

0:55:06.520 --> 0:55:08.880
<v Speaker 1>throw the corn current, throw the corn cobs on the grill,

0:55:09.160 --> 0:55:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and there's like a honey, seracha garlic dressing. It's charred corn,

0:55:13.840 --> 0:55:19.560
<v Speaker 1>black beans, avocado, serrano chilis clanch. It's great, It's really

0:55:19.600 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>really good. That's a recipe from a barbecue place in

0:55:22.880 --> 0:55:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta called bees Crackling. And then just some homemade cookies.

0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:31.160
<v Speaker 1>People are always very impressed when I've shown up, be like, yeah,

0:55:31.200 --> 0:55:33.919
<v Speaker 1>I made some cookies like you made these? Like yeah,

0:55:34.080 --> 0:55:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I just mixed together a couple ingredients and threw together

0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:38.200
<v Speaker 1>some golf balls on a pan and in the oven,

0:55:38.239 --> 0:55:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and then brought them over like wow, that is incredible.

0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So people have low expectations of most of us, So

0:55:45.640 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 1>thrown together some cookies. I think it's a great call.

0:55:48.680 --> 0:55:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I make a really good roasted vegetable concoction. And what

0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I like about it is, first off, it's simple to make.

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:01.279
<v Speaker 2>You cut up vegetable. It's very vague, I know, but

0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that's that's sort of the hidden secret. It's not so

0:56:04.680 --> 0:56:07.040
<v Speaker 2>much the vegetables, because you look at them and think, oh, well,

0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:08.000
<v Speaker 2>what's so special about that?

0:56:08.120 --> 0:56:10.279
<v Speaker 1>What's the vehicle you're bringing it in? But there is.

0:56:10.560 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 2>It Usually just a pan, standardish your pan, you cook

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:15.240
<v Speaker 2>it on a cookie sheet. But there is a honey

0:56:15.320 --> 0:56:21.280
<v Speaker 2>dijon sauce that I've learned to make that is very

0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:23.239
<v Speaker 2>secretly delicious.

0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:24.200
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

0:56:24.719 --> 0:56:26.759
<v Speaker 2>So there's more to it than meets the eye, which

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:28.719
<v Speaker 2>is one of the reasons why I like bringing it.

0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:31.480
<v Speaker 1>This goes into Matt's question of could you please give

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.279
<v Speaker 1>a ranking of things that should be grilled? That's a

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:37.440
<v Speaker 1>who it says, maybe a top five. Okay, that's more limiting,

0:56:37.480 --> 0:56:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and one underrated thing that I should try on the grill.

0:56:41.360 --> 0:56:44.319
<v Speaker 1>So okay, I've got good. I've got some answers here.

0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever grill a banana? No? I haven't. I

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:50.640
<v Speaker 1>don't really love bananas. I's good.

0:56:50.920 --> 0:56:53.280
<v Speaker 2>It's it's tough to grill, but it's actually pretty.

0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Good if you do it correctly. My underrated answer is peaches.

0:56:57.719 --> 0:56:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I will slice up some peaches, I will bathe them

0:56:59.880 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in honey water for a little bit. I will charm

0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>on the grill and then crank some sea salt on

0:57:05.480 --> 0:57:07.720
<v Speaker 1>top of those suckers when they when they're ready and charred.

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Okat sweet and sour sweet and salt, not sour sweet

0:57:10.920 --> 0:57:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and salty salty, because the honey gives you a nice

0:57:14.080 --> 0:57:17.240
<v Speaker 1>caramelization on it. So it's wonderful, especially if you're into

0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:19.720
<v Speaker 1>ice cream. It's sort of like a it's a peach

0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:24.520
<v Speaker 1>cobbler without any cobble. It's great. I would, you know,

0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:27.520
<v Speaker 1>marinate some carne asada, anything that cooks quickly on a grill,

0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So any thin steak that's marinated, like bulgogi, You want

0:57:30.840 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>some Korean barbecue, Oh, it's wonderful. It is very rare

0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that I will have a lot of people over and

0:57:37.720 --> 0:57:41.120
<v Speaker 1>do some sort of big grill cookout style thing without

0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:43.400
<v Speaker 1>just making a mount of onions and peppers on the grill.

0:57:43.960 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll change the question around a little bit and say

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:51.080
<v Speaker 2>that I think chicken is overrated on the grill, and

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Chicken marinated chicken this can be really good on the grill.

0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Chicken thighs, yes, yeah, because there's that natural built in

0:57:57.440 --> 0:58:01.720
<v Speaker 2>moisture to it. Yeah, But like chicken breast It's very

0:58:01.760 --> 0:58:04.160
<v Speaker 2>easy to screw that. Oh yeah, yeah, very easy to

0:58:04.160 --> 0:58:07.600
<v Speaker 2>screw that up. Now, if you lather enough barbecue sauce

0:58:07.640 --> 0:58:09.080
<v Speaker 2>on it, you can make anything taste good.

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm living in a PBW. It's I'm living in a

0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:15.560
<v Speaker 1>post breast world. Yeah, okay. I would also say, if

0:58:15.640 --> 0:58:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you can get a pizza steel, you throw the pan,

0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the pizza pan essentially on the grill for like forty

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.960
<v Speaker 1>five minutes until it's like six hundred degrees. Then you

0:58:24.000 --> 0:58:26.760
<v Speaker 1>put the pizza on that and absorbs the heat really well,

0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and you get a great pie on them. You've been

0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and called a kettle pizza. Yeah, you've been pumpingy.

0:58:31.600 --> 0:58:34.000
<v Speaker 2>You've been any for like months now because you know

0:58:34.080 --> 0:58:36.520
<v Speaker 2>that we're putting the patio on the back here to

0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:40.400
<v Speaker 2>try and buy. How much does this thing costs? This contraption?

0:58:40.520 --> 0:58:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Like eight hundred Well a.

0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Really good one, yes, a really good tabletop pizza oven.

0:58:45.480 --> 0:58:47.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll set you back seven eight hundred bucks. But I

0:58:47.160 --> 0:58:48.560
<v Speaker 1>think you can do pretty well for two or three

0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:51.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks. That might be a little too rich for

0:58:51.560 --> 0:58:54.520
<v Speaker 1>my blood. You like pizza, but maybe not that much.

0:58:55.000 --> 0:58:57.439
<v Speaker 1>You know how there are dance moms that are living

0:58:57.520 --> 0:59:00.360
<v Speaker 1>vicariously through their four or five six year old, and

0:59:00.440 --> 0:59:03.160
<v Speaker 1>they're you know, stage moms. They're like pushing them too

0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:06.040
<v Speaker 1>hard to fulfill their own dreams. I feel like I'm

0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a patio dad. Yeah, I feel like living in an

0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:10.840
<v Speaker 1>apartment as you build a patio. I'm trying to live

0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:15.560
<v Speaker 1>vicariously through you. All right? I love this question? Are

0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you ready? Due to circumstances beyond my control? This comes

0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to us from an anonymous verballer WHOA, my wedding is

0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:27.840
<v Speaker 1>going to have to be somewhat limited time wise with

0:59:27.920 --> 0:59:30.520
<v Speaker 1>an open dance floor about two hours. How do I

0:59:30.520 --> 0:59:33.880
<v Speaker 1>make sure the dance floor stays full for the entirety

0:59:33.880 --> 0:59:36.959
<v Speaker 1>of the two hours? Please don't use my name on air.

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:43.800
<v Speaker 1>That comes to us from Oh wow, they're really famous. Okay, sorry, Ty,

0:59:43.880 --> 0:59:44.520
<v Speaker 1>what's your answer?

0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, my wedding is going to have a somewhat limited

0:59:49.520 --> 0:59:51.200
<v Speaker 2>time with an open dance floor.

0:59:51.720 --> 0:59:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah about.

0:59:52.560 --> 0:59:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what closed dance floors are, but I'm

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 2>ready to figure it out. How do I make sure

0:59:56.760 --> 0:59:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the dance floor stays full for the full keep the

0:59:59.520 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>party going?

1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:00.680
<v Speaker 1>M hmm.

1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:05.919
<v Speaker 2>So what Anonymous has not specified here is the other

1:00:06.000 --> 1:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>circumstances surrounding the wedding. Is there an open bar that helps?

1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Believe me? That helps well. That does take people away

1:00:14.160 --> 1:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>from the dance floor, though if there takes people going

1:00:16.520 --> 1:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to dance floor, yeah, but not if you have a

1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>good pre reception ceremony with an open bar, if you

1:00:23.400 --> 1:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>get people liquored up enough by the time they get

1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to the dance floor, they're a little bit more likely

1:00:30.040 --> 1:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to get out there. You ever go to a wedding

1:00:32.080 --> 1:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>with a bar on the dance floor, because I have

1:00:34.960 --> 1:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>had that work out. In each corner of the dance

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>floor there was a little tequila cart where you could

1:00:41.040 --> 1:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>either get shots of tequila or little margarita shots, and

1:00:45.200 --> 1:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>people loved it.

1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>That'll help, right, That will help help. Yeah, So that's

1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the first thing. Open bar, preferably before you get to

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the dance floor I think helps. Secondly, it might be obvious,

1:00:56.400 --> 1:01:01.360
<v Speaker 2>but good music, good music, a live band, that'll help.

1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

1:01:02.920 --> 1:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But good music first and foremost I think is is

1:01:05.960 --> 1:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>going to get people out there, and then if you

1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>can nudge them a little bit more out onto the

1:01:10.120 --> 1:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>dance floor with a good liquor situation, that's probably your

1:01:13.840 --> 1:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>best bet.

1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I would also say Cocktail Weenies, Cocktail Weenie Fountain in

1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the dance floor. Music wise, lean heavy

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>on like a middle ground era of songs. So you're

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>not going uptown funk and you're not necessarily going my girl.

1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta find the happy medium where the older part

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of the crowd is familiar and the younger part of

1:01:36.960 --> 1:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the crowd is familiar. So is in sync to modern

1:01:41.520 --> 1:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's too modern, too modern, Okay, I would say, okay,

1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody wants to dance to shout. That's facts only, right, Sure,

1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to dance with somebody. You make my dreams

1:01:53.760 --> 1:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>sign sealed delivery. It's a little older, I don't know,

1:01:56.760 --> 1:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, ain't no mountain high enough. Everybody still loves it.

1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But like foot Loose Jackson five, I want you back. Yeah,

1:02:03.640 --> 1:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that I think if you lean into oh yes, of

1:02:06.160 --> 1:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>course I've heard this song, and then like everybody younger

1:02:08.800 --> 1:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like hell yeah, I want you back. So I think

1:02:11.520 --> 1:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the move where you're not alienating somebody with your music.

1:02:15.840 --> 1:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>What about electric Slide, it's a good time. I would

1:02:20.240 --> 1:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>do it a little bit later on, when the tequila

1:02:22.080 --> 1:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>card is really pumped in.

1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Macarina, some popular ones like that will do the trick.

1:02:28.080 --> 1:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>You're losing people. You're losing people. It's real stationary, which

1:02:31.400 --> 1:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>will appeal to the older crowd, but I think you're

1:02:33.520 --> 1:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>losing the younger crowd. There.

1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question, Anonymous. I hope your wedding goes well.

1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope it does too. This is from just some guy.

1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's too Dan, that's me and Ti, but mostly

1:02:45.240 --> 1:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe then I went through it.

1:02:46.520 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Let me read it then, Okay, if it's to you,

1:02:50.120 --> 1:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I just found out we are expecting

1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>our first child in late December. Congratulations, just some guy.

1:02:55.800 --> 1:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Two questions here? Question one here, Dan, what is the

1:02:58.840 --> 1:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>number one thing you did to make Jody with an

1:03:02.040 --> 1:03:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Eyes life better during her pregnancy?

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So I can speak very specifically to this because one,

1:03:07.520 --> 1:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm a dad. The solid baby looks a little bit

1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like me, so Ven firmed. Two he was born in

1:03:15.600 --> 1:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>late January, so winter baby, I would say. Jody with

1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and I did not really have morning sickness. And part

1:03:22.920 --> 1:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of that is just luck, but part of it is

1:03:24.080 --> 1:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>also right when she woke up, she started pumping carbs. Yeah,

1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>just I woke up and I made her toast, got

1:03:31.080 --> 1:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>some granola bars. You know, whatever whatever was she was

1:03:33.680 --> 1:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>craving that. You hit that real early. It sets the tone.

1:03:37.320 --> 1:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Drink a lot of water, make sure there's always water around.

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you live in a big city

1:03:41.200 --> 1:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>or not. And so we're used taking public transportation places,

1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>but like after dinner, she'd be a little uncomfortable. So

1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>more cabs and ubers. I don't love doing that, but

1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, sure, let's take more cabs and ubers, more

1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>ac than usual. It already feels freezing, but sure, uh huh,

1:03:56.880 --> 1:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>let's do it. So that's how I made her more comfortable.

1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I would say his number two.

1:04:02.360 --> 1:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Point, number two point help me choose a baby moon destination.

1:04:06.760 --> 1:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>He says, we live in Chicago, so really anywhere in

1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the continental United States is fair game. I'm just going

1:04:14.360 --> 1:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to say, if you're doing baby moon, and presumably your

1:04:18.320 --> 1:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>wife is mid pregnancy.

1:04:21.120 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>It'll be in the warmer time a year. Yeah, warmer

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>time of year.

1:04:24.200 --> 1:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you want to lump on top of

1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that a longer plane ride. Planes are uncomfortable enough, as

1:04:30.520 --> 1:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>is maybe something maybe a nice road trip somewhere you

1:04:34.120 --> 1:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>can drive to.

1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I would say that is spot on. Luckily they're in Chicago,

1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>so they're pretty central. Don't go anywhere humid if it's

1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>over the summer, so that probably eliminates most of the South,

1:04:43.720 --> 1:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>unless there's a part of the South that doesn't get

1:04:45.640 --> 1:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>humid over the summer that I don't know about. But

1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>because you are central, we consider two places that were

1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>opposite coasts. One would have been a very long flight,

1:04:53.240 --> 1:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm still kind of bummed we didn't go. But

1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that was Pacific Northwest, not super humid up there. Seattle, Portland, Vancouver.

1:04:59.280 --> 1:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Great food on the water, it's you can hike, you

1:05:02.680 --> 1:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>can just chill, you can go to if you're into

1:05:04.720 --> 1:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>going to independent record stores. Come on. Nothing no better

1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>area than that. But we ended up going to Maine,

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>which also ruled it was great. We went to Portland, Maine,

1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>which you can fly into from Chicago. I'm pretty sure

1:05:16.840 --> 1:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the food there is incredible. It's super walkable. If you

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like being on your feet a ton, you can be.

1:05:22.400 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>If you don't, you can just chill and eat oysters

1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. And two we drove up to bar Harbor, Acadia.

1:05:30.920 --> 1:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>My wife bah Bah Jody with and I was what

1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>five six months pregnant. We totally dominated Acadia a lot

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>of easier hikes, but it's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful up there

1:05:43.240 --> 1:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>was not humid again, great food. I'd never been to Maine.

1:05:47.440 --> 1:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I have zero regret about doing it. I had a

1:05:49.800 --> 1:05:50.439
<v Speaker 1>wonderful time.

1:05:50.960 --> 1:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go to Aarin here. Question for a

1:05:54.120 --> 1:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>generation good one. What are your thoughts on groomsman gifts?

1:05:57.880 --> 1:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Most are alcohol related? And after being in a bridal

1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>party for a dozen or so weddings, I have all

1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the engraved flasks I will ever need. Follow up question,

1:06:09.360 --> 1:06:10.600
<v Speaker 2>can you give a power ranking.

1:06:10.400 --> 1:06:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Of the different levels groom and gifts?

1:06:11.880 --> 1:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so just let's I mean, he's got a bunch here.

1:06:15.040 --> 1:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's talk through our theories around groomsman gifts I gave. Yeah,

1:06:21.800 --> 1:06:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I So we did two things. First Off, they everyone

1:06:26.360 --> 1:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>bought suits for our wedding and we were able to

1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>negotiate a pretty serious discount, so everyone ended up getting

1:06:35.520 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>a decent suit at a very very reasonable price. But secondly,

1:06:41.080 --> 1:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone got the tie as well, so we threw in

1:06:43.960 --> 1:06:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the tie. I agree completely with Aaron. Don't go with

1:06:48.360 --> 1:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the engraved flask please, yeah, please? So I've never used

1:06:54.000 --> 1:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>mine once. What is the best gift that you've received

1:06:56.520 --> 1:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>as a groomsman, I received a toilet a tree bag.

1:07:01.280 --> 1:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh that actually I liked that a lot.

1:07:02.920 --> 1:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I received a toiletry bag with an engraved or I

1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>guess not engraved, an embroidered h on it that I

1:07:10.440 --> 1:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>use still to this day, probably ten years later. That

1:07:14.560 --> 1:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>was the best gift I've gotten. It's simple, it was

1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>probably very affordable, and it's got extreme utility.

1:07:22.640 --> 1:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>If you were a groomsman for me, and I had

1:07:25.200 --> 1:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>gotten you that gift, which I think is a very

1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>good idea great a one percent, would have been beautifully

1:07:30.760 --> 1:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>embroidered whatever it was cloth or leather, it would have

1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>been beautifully and tastefully embroidered with ties potty bag. It

1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>would have really gone for that irony there.

1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>But I thought that would have gone with Pinch Stripe

1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Bowl champions But that's now that's it went up.

1:07:45.920 --> 1:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>It would be lined with the Penn Stripe Bowl Championship shirt.

1:07:50.720 --> 1:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't I mean, you get a portable charger, that's great.

1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I just want I want something useful. I want people

1:07:56.360 --> 1:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>to get something useful out of it. Maybe it's embroidered,

1:07:58.640 --> 1:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever it's engraved, I would probably go If I get

1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>married again, which I really hope I don't have to.

1:08:05.840 --> 1:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I would probably do what my friend Scott gave both

1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Jody and myself as gifts for the Solid Baby, which

1:08:14.560 --> 1:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>were really just gifts for us premium sweatpants, m premium sweats,

1:08:20.600 --> 1:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>because I know they're just going to get a ton

1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of use. They don't need to be personalized whatever. If

1:08:25.760 --> 1:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what brand does the best and softest

1:08:28.360 --> 1:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>and most ridiculously comfortable sweatpants, that's what I'm doing. I'm

1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>not overthinking it. I'm just giving somebody a gift that

1:08:34.640 --> 1:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>they're going to get a ton of use out of.

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Or fire extinguishers, yeah, okay, or just something that will

1:08:40.920 --> 1:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>save their life.

1:08:42.520 --> 1:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I've got two more questions here, and then we'll go

1:08:44.120 --> 1:08:47.760
<v Speaker 2>all right, let's do it along the same lines of

1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:51.640
<v Speaker 2>a wedding. Someone writes in going to a wedding this

1:08:51.680 --> 1:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>weekend an old coworker of mine. The entire table I

1:08:57.160 --> 1:09:01.439
<v Speaker 2>will be at is former co workers and boss that

1:09:01.640 --> 1:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>don't exactly love each other.

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm expecting several to be openly hostile with one another.

1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Thoughts on how I should approach.

1:09:10.520 --> 1:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>This, Oh gosh, hit on all of their daughters, Yeah,

1:09:16.360 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>if they're of age, I don't know. I don't know

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>if he's the only one that he knows there, Like

1:09:22.439 --> 1:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>outside of these uncomfortable coworkers, I can get hit the

1:09:26.479 --> 1:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>dance floor hard. I don't know, stay away, leave early.

1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I think can have a great time. And he says

1:09:34.120 --> 1:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it here I didn't read it. He says that he

1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>is the Switzerland of the group. Nobody really hates me,

1:09:39.240 --> 1:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>at least not that I know of. So that puts

1:09:42.080 --> 1:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you in a situation. I guess you could. Yeah, I

1:09:44.240 --> 1:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>guess you could find a common enemy. Like if nobody

1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>there is from accountant and they're like, oh, these idiots

1:09:51.479 --> 1:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>accounting couldn't even make it, and you find the common enemy.

1:09:55.640 --> 1:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I think.

1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it's actually quite simple for him. If he

1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>is it's your lind Yeah. And if to his knowledge

1:10:03.200 --> 1:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>no one has beef with him, he should be able

1:10:06.960 --> 1:10:09.040
<v Speaker 2>to go up to whoever he wants and chat with them.

1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:11.479
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't have to be awkward for him. He says,

1:10:11.520 --> 1:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>there's an open bar. He literally will not know anyone

1:10:15.120 --> 1:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>else at the wedding, and he's wearing a light purple

1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:21.599
<v Speaker 2>shirt with navy pants, so that that's friendly. That gives

1:10:21.600 --> 1:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you a talking point you can break the eyes pretty easily.

1:10:25.040 --> 1:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And if no one hates you, you should have the

1:10:28.960 --> 1:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>latitude to go up to whoever you want, just chat

1:10:31.000 --> 1:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>him up at your take, shat him up.

1:10:32.960 --> 1:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But like, the only thing you have in common with them?

1:10:34.760 --> 1:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Is this what it is? An ex coworker? He says,

1:10:38.320 --> 1:10:42.799
<v Speaker 1>it's limited, the old limited ceiling of yeah, old coworker. Yeah.

1:10:43.040 --> 1:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>So you don't really have much talk about you just

1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:46.439
<v Speaker 1>catching up about kids and stuff like that. So you

1:10:46.479 --> 1:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>make small talk. You go up to the bride and groom.

1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>You're like, listen, I'm so touched that you invited me.

1:10:51.120 --> 1:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>At some point, I'm gonna leave, and you know, I'm

1:10:54.400 --> 1:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>probably not gonna say goodbye because you're saying go bye

1:10:56.040 --> 1:10:57.599
<v Speaker 1>to all sorts of people, and then you usually fifteen

1:10:57.640 --> 1:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>minutes later.

1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Two other points here that I want to bring up

1:11:00.640 --> 1:11:03.639
<v Speaker 2>before we get to our final question. Okay, yeah, two

1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:06.599
<v Speaker 2>other ways that you could play it, sir, if you're interested.

1:11:06.640 --> 1:11:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Depends how dangerous you feel. Oh god, he says. He's

1:11:10.479 --> 1:11:15.320
<v Speaker 2>wearing the purple shirt and the navy pants, white purple shirt.

1:11:16.160 --> 1:11:19.840
<v Speaker 2>You're colorful, he says, literally, he won't know anyone else

1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>at the wedding. There's a chancey single.

1:11:23.160 --> 1:11:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, colorful plus one yeah friendly.

1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>That could be a nice recipe for you, just saying,

1:11:29.479 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>or option B if you're really feeling saucy right before

1:11:34.160 --> 1:11:36.280
<v Speaker 2>you're ready to leave. If these aren't people that you're

1:11:36.320 --> 1:11:40.479
<v Speaker 2>particularly friendly with, maybe just throw a nice little grenade

1:11:40.479 --> 1:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>at the table and say, then you guys all used

1:11:42.200 --> 1:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>to hate each other, and then leave.

1:11:45.479 --> 1:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, then you don't really get to see the fireworks, though.

1:11:48.120 --> 1:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Just get the party started. Leave on a high note.

1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Assume that you're going to get the fireworks started.

1:11:53.600 --> 1:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that just seems evil. I like you. I like

1:11:58.000 --> 1:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>where your head is at, though I do final we

1:12:00.720 --> 1:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>have a final duo of questions final due all right,

1:12:03.160 --> 1:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>span the same topic.

1:12:04.560 --> 1:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the most random question we got from a

1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>long time listener. Okay, iuld you rather fight a silver

1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>backed gorilla or take a two year prison sentence? Uh?

1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>To your prison. There's a chance that I can go

1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to a nicer minimum security.

1:12:19.280 --> 1:12:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Also, if you fight a gorilla, it will kill you

1:12:21.760 --> 1:12:24.240
<v Speaker 2>so that it will answer sentence.

1:12:24.760 --> 1:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's two questions about wedding speeches, key ingredients? Any

1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>tips for a speech.

1:12:32.840 --> 1:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Toast compliment the bride early? I always, always, always and

1:12:38.800 --> 1:12:39.920
<v Speaker 2>don't try to be funny.

1:12:40.280 --> 1:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't try to be funny.

1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>It's really hard to be funny under pressure unless your

1:12:44.920 --> 1:12:48.479
<v Speaker 2>pros like Dan and I. Yeah, don't try to be

1:12:48.520 --> 1:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>funny under pressure. It usually isn't as funny as you think.

1:12:52.040 --> 1:12:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Usually you'll say something that isn't meant to be funny,

1:12:54.720 --> 1:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>but you sort of deliver it in an awkward fun

1:12:57.040 --> 1:12:58.599
<v Speaker 1>way and it'll get laughs.

1:12:58.920 --> 1:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Compliment the bride early, the good Yeah, it's the best tip.

1:13:03.520 --> 1:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Compliment her early. Get on the good side of the crowd,

1:13:07.600 --> 1:13:09.599
<v Speaker 2>and then don't try to be funny. Something from the heart,

1:13:09.720 --> 1:13:15.160
<v Speaker 2>something genuine, keep it short, get off the stage.

1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cares about your friendship with the bride or groom.

1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cares about your friendship with the bride and groom

1:13:22.479 --> 1:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and other friends there at table seventeen. Yeah, your speech

1:13:26.040 --> 1:13:29.719
<v Speaker 1>should be about their relationship. Thank you, the two people

1:13:29.760 --> 1:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>getting married. Such a good point. It should be under

1:13:33.000 --> 1:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>three minutes. You introduce yourself, you introduce your the relationship

1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to the bride and groomer whoever's getting married, and you

1:13:42.160 --> 1:13:45.519

1:13:57.680 --> 1:14:01.639
<v Speaker 1>were going to get along because and you're just you're

1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>honoring them as a couple. You're not talking about everybody

1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:08.439
<v Speaker 1>knows you like your friend. Dig deep and find something

1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>likable about them as a couple, and then get off

1:14:11.280 --> 1:14:12.760
