19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: blustery New York City. My good friend Dan Rubinstein, sir,

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: how are you?

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm all right, Ty, I'm moving. I'm in the process.

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm moving really So which if and I know you

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: haven't if you've never moved from an apartment to an

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: apartment within the greater New York City area. Don't ever

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: do that. No, don't, don't. Don't. Other than that, ty

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm all right, I'm all right, hanging in. I'm playing

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: hanging in there, had a good turkey sandwich for lunch,

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: sat in a coffee shop, and did some work earlier

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: today the real New York and Brooklyn experienced, Tye. It's

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: the real thing.

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: So today's show is going to be a little bit different.

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: We've actually gotten requests to do a show like this

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: in previous years, but we didn't. And now because the

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: spirit has moved us, You've got some free time. I've

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: got a need to let off some steam here. We're

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: not going to be talking college football today, at least

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: not in the traditional sense. Now, we got a bunch

38
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: of questions from social media, from our friends over at Reddit,

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: through the email inbox at sliverbo at gmail dot com.

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: We're going to try and address as many of those

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: as we can. But for the first time ever, this

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: is sort of a combo show between the Q and

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: A that we've received, and I think the topic du

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: jour for many sports fans. This week the college basketball tournament.

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: Marsh Maddness is starting up, right, Yes.

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: So we're doing an NIT show. So Oregon As is

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: opening up. It actually might be we're recording this on Tuesday.

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: I think it might be tonight.

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Maybe tonight.

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I think they're playing Writer. Okay, can you tell me?

51
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: Have you heard of the university or college named Writer?

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: It's in New Jersey? Yeah, is it?

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: I know they the mid Atlantic Conferences not. Yeah, it's

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: like the MAA C. Yeah, I know, never heard of it.

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I know heard of people who have gone to Writer.

56
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: Is that true.

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: It's a very good wrestling school, believe it or not.

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Name one person that went to Writer.

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Well, you don't know them.

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: These are fine, Just kim, Just tell me who.

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Of my friend John's son went to Writer?

62
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Okay? Did he enjoy his time at Writer?

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: I think?

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Okay? Did he wrestle?

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: He did not wrestle? No, oh okay.

66
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, we are not doing an IT bracket. We're

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: gonna do an NCAA bracket. But we also have a

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: bunch of questions for an early March Q and a

69
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: early to mid March Q and A. Is that correct?

70
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Right?

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: We took people's questions on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. A

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: lot of good ones came in, so we sort of

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: narrowed them down to the ones that we most want

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: to answer, but more specifically to the bracket tie. How

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: many games in total did you watch this year in

76
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: the great land of college basketball?

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: You can't quite quantify it like that, Dan, here is

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: my process. Okay, we overload on college football between late

79
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: August and early January, and when early January hits, I

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: usually go pretty dark until fantasy baseball season rolls around.

81
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Then I do a little bit of research because I'm

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: into baseball, but as it relates to college basketball. I've

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: watched about thirty total minutes of college basketball all year.

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: Wow, I've watched two and a half I'd say the

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: equivalent of two and a half games. I watched the

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: second half of Duke North Carolina, not in the ACC Tournament,

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: although I did watch a little bit of that, but

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: I watched the full second half at the end of

89
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: the season. I watched a couple Oregon games here at

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: like just patches of orgames. They they tip the Oregon

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: games in the Packball tournament tipped at eleven thirty PM.

92
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: That's a very heavy lift.

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: They're not making it easy time.

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: No, that's a heavy lift on the East coast.

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not making it super easy. I usually when

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: in my previous job, I start at the end of

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: February early March because I have to do live shows

98
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: around the bracket. But I don't anymore, so I'm usually

99
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: in that ken palm world. Yeah, just like Okay, this

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: team plays good defense, this team plays quickly. These are

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: the names of stars. I know who Ish is going

102
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: to be taken in the lottery, but I have not

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 2: seen Miles Bridges play basketball time right, right, and just haven't.

104
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: So I arrive more unprepared for this bracket than normal,

105
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: which makes me think I'm going to do better because

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 2: we have a bracket, right, we have a challenge.

107
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: We do have a bracket. So that's an important side note.

108
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: If you are listening at home, if you want to

109
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: get in on the festivities, heaven forbid, you should take

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: any of this advice literally and pick according to our

111
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: suggestions here. But we do have a bracket pool. It

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: will grow to be very large, going out to our

113
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Facebook page or Twitter. We'll post it on Instagram, on

114
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: our website, we'll post it. I think we can post

115
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: it as part of the description of this actual show dope.

116
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: So get in on it. It's free. It's through ESPN

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Tournament Challenge. You can enter like ten times if you

118
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: so desire. But what we're going to do now.

119
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: And we'll get that when we get the brackets of

120
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: Mama h Yeah.

121
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get them all in. Okay, we'll get them

122
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: all in. Yeah, we'll get them all in. You could

123
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: play against the star's solid wife Kate yep. Sure, and

124
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: we're going to go through now we're going to pick

125
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: all these games.

126
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: Yes, we are going to do that. Do you have

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: somebody asked this question if you have a particular upset

128
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: that you've called through the years that makes you confident

129
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: that like, oh, I know what I'm doing here, I

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: know the right thirteen seed to pick. Do you have

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: one that you remember.

132
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't really apply this year.

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: No, of course not.

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: But I'll just say generally speaking, when Xavier isn't a

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: number one seed, I picked Xavier to go inordinately far

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: in these tournaments.

137
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: It's not a bad call. It's not a bad call

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: upset wise. I picked because obviously we have the Patriot

139
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: League as a near and dear part of our hearts.

140
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: I remember picking Lehigh over Duke, which I think they

141
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: still sell shirts of like the score like Lehigh whatever,

142
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Duke whatever in the Lehigh bookstore, which I've been to

143
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: that bookstore. Tie. I picked that game, and I specifically,

144
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: in doing research, saw that they had a player named CJ. McCollum,

145
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: and I said to myself, that sounds like a good player.

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: Without having watched any Lehigh basketball ever before or since,

147
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I specifically remember saying like, hey, he's averaging a bunch

148
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: of points. Let's go with Let's go with Lehigh? Why not?

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: And I that had that makes me think that I

150
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: just I know a little bit more than the average

151
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Mountain Hawk. Here here's my other, my other big point

152
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: before we get into our bracket picks, which are very

153
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: going to be very bad. How is and I know

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: he you can subscribe? How is there not like a

155

158
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: not like make a make your picks refreshing? He sells

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: a subscription right that I'm assuming mostly reporters subscribe to

160
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: h and it.

161
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Has to be all reporters, right. There's no banner ads

162
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: on here at all. This This reeks of someone who's

163
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: doing it purely out of love of the game, and.

164
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: I get that.

165
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: But in March, I know, get paid Ken. There you go,

166
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: new job, Ken first.

167
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: Media does not last forever. Ken that money, take that.

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Money, Kenpalm dot Com. All right, So I have Ken

169
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Palm dot Com up on my screen. There are a

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: couple things that I am going to use to guide

171
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: me here, all right. A couple formulas at play, because

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: really I've done no research and I haven't watched the games.

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: The first thing is that I've read previously that teams

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: that perform well on the Kenpalm dot Com defensive efficiency

175
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: metric generally do better in the tournament sense. Speaks to

176
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: the adage of defense winning championships that applies here. I've

177
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: got that in front of me. The other is that

178
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: I read via Twitter and I was trying to find it.

179
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't that the team that wins the second installment

180
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: of Duke versus North Carolina usually does really well in

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: the tournament, and they've won five national championships in the

182
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: span of Like I don't know, maybe fourteen years, however

183
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: long it's been since Roy Williams got to UNC side.

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: Note real quick, this is a college football podcast that

185
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: is truct Let's continue. Let's continue.

186
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: And the team that loses that second installment is like

187
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: five hundred over the same period of time. So, and

188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: who won the last installment? It was Duke or Duke

189
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: won the last one. Duke won the last one. So

190
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: they're going to be probably my national championship pick. Cool,

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: all right. And then the other thing that I'll throw

192
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: in here is the late great Marianne Calarusso, my grandmother,

193
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: for whom for whom my annual college basketball pool is

194
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: named not ours, but the secret on the sly money

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: one that I do.

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: Double chess, Sammy Sosa pound kiss to the sky.

197
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: That's right. Grammy had her own little formula. She watched

198
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: basketball every night religiously, and her formula was this. First off,

199
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Duke Duke was her toes. She picked Duke all the time.

200
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Duke was always her national champion. But after Duke she

201
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: would veer very strongly towards coaches with Italian last names, okay,

202
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: and then coaches from Catholic institutions. Oh, Okay, now it

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: sounds funny, but Grammy won the pool numerous years, and

204
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: it's not a bad formula when you when you actually

205
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: see it in practice. Like obviously coach Uschefki is pretty successful.

206
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: You picked Duke, You're gonna come out on top.

207
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 2: Super Italian more often than not.

208
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Right, but think think of some of the Italian last names, Cola, Pari, Patino,

209
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: until recently Izzo, guys who have historically done very well

210
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: in the tournament seem to have Italian last names.

211
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: If only, god, if only what Grandma h knew that

212
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: not only was Rick Patino's last name of Italian origin,

213
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: but also what he was able to do in an

214
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: Italian wrestling.

215
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: Exactly, Oh my god, exactly.

216
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: He did win a national championship.

217
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got the Italian last names, You've got

218
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: the Catholic institutions, which you know normally would speak to

219
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame but speaks now to Villanova, well Xavier. Right,

220
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: So just throwing that out there, that is what I'm

221
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: going to use is my basic framework for making some

222
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: of these selections.

223
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I think Mama h is places she picks against

224
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: Catholic institutions, and four places where she knows people that

225
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: went to school there, or is confused about who.

226
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: Went to sit Mama Rubinstein, you're saying.

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: Mama rub excuse me, mam Rubs now, Mama h And

228
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: So I do like the dichotomy of the sort of

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: opposite theories at work.

230
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So how do we want to do this?

231
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: Do we want to pick our own or do we

232
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: want to pick one like unified bracket between the two

233
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: of us that we can enter.

234
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, let's just go through. Just tell me. Let's start

235
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: with the South Region tie. So it appears that's Virginia,

236
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: who I think I just saw a lost a key

237
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: player due to injury. Virginia and Cincinnati, which who knew

238
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: Cincinnati was good this year? Do you have any Let's

239
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: just go and tell me if you have any upsets

240
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: in the first round.

241
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm looking at this. I don't think so.

242
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I think I go Uva. I think I go Creighton

243
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: over k State, which I didn't know until recently that

244
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Creighton's in Nebraska, by the way, that's on me.

245
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dude, it's an Omaha.

246
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky over Davidson Steph Curry no longer there. Kentucky actually

247
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: has been playing pretty well, So throw Kentucky through. What's

248
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: the deal with Arizona. There's apparently a giant scandal with

249
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: their coach being picked up on an FBI sting operation.

250
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: That is that accurate something like that?

251
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was supposedly there was a wire tap of

252
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: him discussing one hundred thousand dollars for DeAndre Ayton, who

253
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: might be the number one overall pick in the NBA.

254
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: But then there was a question about was it in

255
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen or twenty seven and if it was in

256
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, he was already It was reported that it

257
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: was twenty seventeen, but he would have already been enrolled,

258
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: so it doesn't fully add up. And there was ESPN

259
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: had some weird denial or retraction and then read unretraction.

260
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Okay, but they did he get caught on the sting

261
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: or not?

262
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's reported, but nothing has happened to him.

263
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: He still there.

264
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I got to pick Arizona to go

265
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: pretty far then, just to have a villain to root against.

266
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean to me, it's a hero right

267
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: well sure, yeah, yeah, I like that sort of bravado element.

268
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 2: I'm with it.

269
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: I picked Miami over Loyola Chicago. Is there any kind

270
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: of ill will here with you picking Miami given the

271
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: fact that your lovely wife is from the great city

272
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: of Chicago.

273
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: No, Loyola, I think is a private school and she

274
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: has no connection to it. So that's fine.

275
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee over Wright State. I guess you know what, I'm

276
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: going to go Texas over Nevada because I always go Texas.

277
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to go Texas as well. Shouts to Andy Wall.

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Texas, according to Ken Palm is number ten in adjusted defense.

279
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: Great and Shaka has good tournament resumes. Right absolutely, that

280
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: feels right?

281
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: All right?

282
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna go Texas as an upset and

283
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Davidson as an upset.

284
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna go Davidson, all right, I'm gonna go, and

285
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go since we're both gonna go Cincinnati in

286
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: the end. So I'm filling this out as we go through.

287
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: M HM.

288
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: So that brings us to the next round, which is

289
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Uva against Creighton. I guess Uva. I don't know.

290
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Hmmm, Yeah, I'll go with Virginia.

291
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: There you've got Arizona Davidson. I've got Arizona, Kentucky. You

292
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: gotta go Arizona given what we now know about Sean Miller.

293
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to Arizona coming out of this bracket.

294
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: All right.

295
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Out of this.

296
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Region, Miami against Tennessee. Here's my other Achilles heel when

297
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: it comes to these bracket pools. H I always pick

298
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: the number six seed to go very far. Why, I

299
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I was hung up on Mississippi State a

300
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: number of years ago when they were a six seed.

301
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: I was all in on Mississippi State all the research.

302
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: I think they lost in the first or second round. Okay,

303
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go Miami here over Tennessee. Okay, And

304
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: then I think we'll go We'll go Texas over over Cincinnati.

305
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Texas over Cincinnati as well. I think

306
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: Texas is bad at basketball, but I don't know anything

307
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: about either team, and Texas has the clear better Tacos.

308
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Let's go Uva over Miami for the final four coming

309
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: out of the South.

310
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go Arizona over I guess Tennessee. How

311
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: about that?

312
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,480

Speaker 2: favorite team without necessarily going into too much detail about

468
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: every single one of these teams on that level, can

469
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: you tell us suffering fans what it would take for

470
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: our programs to have some consistency in our conference? Zoom

471
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: made it to two SEC titles in its first three

472
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: years in the league, but no Miszoo fan thinks at

473
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 2: all that we will be title contenders. What can Miszoo

474
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: fans or fans similar programs across the country look for

475
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: slash hope for moving forward? And obviously every conference has

476
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 2: a Missouri and I mean that neither in a good

477
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: or bad way, but a team that has seen some

478
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 2: success but has found it difficult to sustain right, So

479
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: what is Is there a formula to you? You know,

480
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: Missouri has some advantages of playing in a huge conference,

481
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: of having I think really good modern history in terms

482
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 2: of success and developing high level and well known players

483
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: along especially defensive line, a wide receiver as well. Defense

484
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: is as a whole has been excellent some of these

485
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: past few years. But you know, with the coaching change,

486
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: with the conference change, with some pretty major struggles on

487
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: offense before last season, you know they've fallen upon not

488
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: hard times, but inconsistent times.

489
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: I think the big thing that we see, especially in

490
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: this tier of teams, if you want to call it, that,

491
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: is inconsistency. There's a consistency that does not exist on

492
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: both sides of the football that often prevents these teams

493
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: from having a reliable eight and four record. Let's say

494
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: it's one of those two sides of the coin that

495
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: brings them down. So I think, first and foremost, you

496
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: want to just be consistent as you can on both

497
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: sides of the football and just get to a point

498
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: where it's like before the year even starts, we feel

499
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: pretty confident about even four.

500
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: Sure, and certainly with the SEC having high level bowl

501
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: success in terms of getting to the playoff, you know,

502
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: having really good bowl tie ends you win eight nine

503
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: games a year, as Missouri will probably top out at

504
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: as it stands now, with how much teams in the

505
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: SEC have been investing and succeeding on the recruiting trail

506
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: and beyond, you know Georgia now in Florida, Tennessee having

507
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: new coaches, Arkansas with a new coach, Texas A and

508
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: M with a new coach. So there's uncertainty there, which

509
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: I think adds to Missouri. What it to me comes

510
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: down to is they had Gary Pinkel for I want

511
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: to say fifteen years. He started in two thousand and one,

512
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: so there was an element of that was home for him.

513
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: He had an incredible eye for assistant coaches. He had

514
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: an ability to surround himself with assistant coaches who were

515
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: blue chip I would say, evaluators and developers. That may

516
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: have been highlighted by Craig Kulangowski, the defensive line coach

517
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: who I think is now back at Alabama in the

518
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: SEC after a couple of years at Miami and early

519
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 2: on I think is where those these types of programs

520
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 2: like Missouri and you can go across different conferences. I

521
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: don't know, who do you think is the Missouri of

522
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve. It's like Washington State, Arizona State, I

523
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: don't know.

524
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, like Asu, Arizona.

525
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Right, maybe Texas Tech in the Big twelve, the Big ten,

526
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: I would say, you know who's who's like the second

527
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: and a half or the second tier in the Big

528
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: ten wistern? Yeah, maybe maybe? Yeah? I mean to be fair,

529
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: nor Or Northwestern has succeeded and Missouri went to two

530
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: SEC championship games. To me, it is can you find

531
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: coaches who are blue chip evaluators and guys who are

532
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: not going to waste their time trying to compete for

533
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: five and even four star guys, But you know, finding

534
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: given proximity to Texas and the South, you know, three

535
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: stars with a ton of potential that are physically there

536
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: but are still a little bit raw and targeting those

537
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: guys early and succeeding. And I think Missouri can do

538
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 2: that year and in year out. They should be an

539
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: eight win program every year in the SEC East, given

540
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: that the changes in the division, given the recent modern

541
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: successes and the number of players they've put in the NFL,

542
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: I think that's fair to say that Missouri should win

543
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: eight games a year. They have a good quarterback who

544
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: put up huge numbers last year. They should be able

545
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: to evaluate those guys moving forward. Being so close to

546
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: Texas and that general region, the planes whatever, it's a

547
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: tough region for local, local talent. But the good news

548
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: tie in terms of consistency, and it comes back to coaching.

549
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: For me, is Barry otam is mister missoo.

550
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, went to school.

551
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: He has all in on Missouri foot Yes, so it

552
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 2: seems like, you know, it's stupid to call anybody a

553
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: life or especially coming off of the first half of

554
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: the twenty seventeen season when everybody wanted him gone before

555
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: things sort of turned around with granted a somewhat advantageous

556
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: back back half of that schedule, but they still won

557
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: those games. They still put up a ton of points.

558
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: So we had another email about saying Matt Campbell, Matt

559
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: Campbell does not seem long for ames Iowa, No, and

560
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: that's a credit to both the players and coaches whatever,

561
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: and of course the job he's done, whereas barriotam is

562
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: in a un situation where it seems like if Missouri

563
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: will have him, he would love to be there for

564
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: a long.

565
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Long yet's ol dream job is what we're talking about here.

566
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: This is what we're saying. I mean, he's coaching in

567
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: the SEC. He's coaching on the biggest stage at his

568
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: alma mater, in a place where it seems, you know,

569
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: some guys don't like coming back to their alma mater,

570
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: but he's almost exclusively coached there during his coaching his

571
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: college coaching career, So they're in a pretty good place

572
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: if they're able to keep hiring well and keep evaluating

573
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 2: high three stars.

574
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: There is a very small subset of our listener base

575
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: that is going to single out the last five minutes

576
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: of Dan Rubinstein audio and just play it on the loop.

577
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot of Missouri football being injected into your

578
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: ears right there.

579
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: That's fine. I appreciate Missouri football. I've enjoyed watching Missouri football,

580
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: and I hope that they succeed. I enjoyed my time

581
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: in Columbia, Missouri. So that those are my general thoughts

582
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: that applies to a number of schools. It's smart evaluation,

583
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: it's smart recruiting, and it's figuring out some way to

584
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: hire a head coach who I say this as a

585
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: still kind of hurt Oregon fan does not view your

586
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: job as a stepping stone situation, which, unfortunately, with how

587
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: volatile coaching is, you just you have to understand on

588
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: a certain human level, when somebody has the opportunity to

589
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: make generational money that they just have to do it

590
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 2: because they're going to be fired in two years if

591
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: they're disappointing at all. All.

592
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: Right, next question, Buck Hogan asks, I don't know if

593
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: this is a real name. Okay, it's a fantastic name, sir,

594
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: mister Hogan, excuse me if it is indeed your real name,

595
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: God bless you. He says, if teams had to have

596
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: their mascot play a position, what would the best fits be.

597
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: I thought a ridiculous amount about this question, did you okay?

598
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: And the one thing I kept coming back to was

599
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: that the Michigan State Spartan would absolutely be a linebacker.

600
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean he's got the build. I think,

601
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: has the toughness, has a screw loose, definitely has a

602
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: screw loose. Mm hmm. I think the Spartan is probably

603
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: like an outside linebacker, middle linebacker, somewhere in that second

604
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: tier of the defense.

605
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this much, though, Ty Joe Morehead would

606
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: absolutely target the Sparty in a wheel route situation. I

607
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: do not trust Sparti in coverage. That's me and maybe

608
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: it's from watching enough of like the Bullock Brothers or whatever.

609
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: I would target Sparty like hell in the open field.

610
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: Is there a position on the field for the Oregon Duck. Yeah?

611
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: If the Orgon Duck is sort of an h back

612
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: where you would underestimate the duck speed. Some people call

613
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: him Puddles or her puddles, whatever. I just sort of

614
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: see the duck as a versatile athlete who you see

615
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: some more. You see bigger personalities these days at tight end, right,

616
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: Travis Kelce, I see that type of person that the

617
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: duck is willing to go up. You know, there's there's

618
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: a showmanship aspect to the duck throwing Tostito's into the mouth.

619
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with a tight end h back situation. Versatile,

620
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: willing to be a character.

621
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: I thought a lot about the Stanford Tree mm hmmm.

622
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: And red zone threat, Yeah, I mean red zone threat statue,

623
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: immobile quarterback, another option someone who plays on special teams,

624
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: maybe just to solely block a kick or get in

625
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: the way. But then there is that component of also

626
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: having a screw lose that I think makes a red

627
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: zone I was thinking along the same lines of a

628
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: red zone threat potentially is a better option there.

629
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think a specialty player. You're not trusting

630
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 2: the Tree as a three down player.

631
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: The Penn State Nitney Lion is maniac and I see

632
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: the Nitny Lion as some sort of free safety type position, Okay,

633
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: somewhere he can just work and pounce no pun intended.

634
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: I'll stay in the big ten and I'm gonna put

635
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: the wolverine and the badger because they're actually I mean,

636
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: they have like the you know, there's obviously Bucky, but

637
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: in terms of the actual animal itself, you're talking about

638
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: a honey badger type situation where it's a little different

639
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: from a standard badger. But screw loose maybe like a

640
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: we keep saying screw loose but your nickelback on defense,

641
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: or a gadget type player on offense where you don't

642
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: want to assign too much to this player because they're

643
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: untrustworthy and a little bit wild, but end arounds options.

644
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: I think you're talking about heavy hitters right here, So

645
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: I would I'd go with that.

646
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: Would an actual alligator have been on the four deep

647
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: for the Florida Gators roster at quarterback this year this previous.

648
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: Year as the arms has the arms that hurts? I

649
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: would go, Man, I don't know, I'm looking that there's

650
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: so many all animals.

651
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's move on to a different question.

652
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: Next question, Ty, that was a fun little from.

653
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: A little nugget.

654
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: Well exit, is Oklahoma gonna win a championship? In John

655
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: Christopher McDaniel's lifetime, still reallying that Baker Mayfield couldn't pull

656
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: it off. Yeah, I'm gonna say yes. Hi, I think

657
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to say yes. They are a program and

658
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 2: a Power five conference that is the program that everybody

659
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: else has to go through.

660
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. And the other thing I'd add is that

661
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: since they are already one of the elite college football institutions,

662
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley being there mm hmm unless something goes terribly

663
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: wrong there, there aren't a whole lot of rungs above

664
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: him in the college game. Now. I could see him,

665
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: because he's so young, being someone that the NFL talks

666
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: to at some point, and I think that's that's the

667
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: real threat with Lincoln Riley. But beyond that, I think

668
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: he's going to be there for quite some time before

669
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: that eventually happens, and should have coaching continuity. It's never

670
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: really a problem to get talent to go to Oklahoma,

671
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: especially the way they keep winning, So the odds are

672
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: more in your favor than a lot of other schools

673
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: for sure.

674
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Oklahoma will They've been to the

675
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: playoff what twice?

676
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: Twice?

677
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, already in the young playoff lifespan and Oklahoma also

678
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: has the infrastructure in terms of budget and what they've

679
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: poured into the program. They've got a great stadium atmosphere.

680
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: They're going to keep recruiting quarterbacks because of quarterback tradition,

681
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: and if you've paid attention to draft stuff at all,

682
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: there is at least something right now. And then this

683
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 2: speaks to what you said about the appetite for more

684
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: creative offenses, perhaps influenced by what the college offenses have

685
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: looked like recently and what you know. Sean McVay asked

686
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield to explain if you read that. I think

687
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: it was Robert Klemcoe somebody it was THEMMQB wrote it,

688
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: thing about Baker Mayfield and the draft process, and with

689
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: what Philly obviously succeeded doing and Kansas City succeeded doing that,

690
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: there is this appetite for creative offensive minds, and at

691
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 2: the college level right now with their current team, I'm

692
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: not sure that there is somebody more well regarded in

693
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: that way than how people feel about Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma.

694
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 2: So you have that combination Oklahoma, I would say within

695
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: the next I don't know, six, eight, ten years, they

696
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: should win if he's there, absolutely.

697
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's do one question, one more question, then

698
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: we're going to get to some additional picks here. I

699
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: like this question, Dan. This one comes to us from

700
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: our friend Dylan. He says, I spent my morning running

701
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: around New York looking for a quiet place with good

702
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: reception for a phone interview. If your home residence has

703
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: poor reception, what is the best look for a phone interview? Dan? Well,

704
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: first of all, very timely question here.

705
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: That's true. First of all, why can't you use Wi

706
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Fi calling?

707
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

708
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: Do you have Wi Fi calling?

709
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: I have Wi Fi calling on my phone, but hypothetically,

710
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: let's say the Wi Fi is broken.

711
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: You can know receptathetically.

712
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: You're living in like a steel trap. You can't get

713
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: anything in or out. You got to go out on

714
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: the town and find somewhere to do a phone interview.

715
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: Where where are you going? First?

716
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: Uh, probably a park. There's enough tree cover, and you

717
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 2: know there are enough parks in New York during the

718
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: day that you're not going to be right on top

719
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: of traffic. You can probably find a nook, you can

720
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: probably find a bench. And there is something about living

721
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: in New York where people just understand there are so

722
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 2: many people, it's going to get a little bit noisy.

723
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: And as long as you have, you know, you carve

724
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: out a tree, a nook or whatever for yourself within

725
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: said park, and the weather's not terrible, I think you're fine.

726
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: I think I would go to a park, but I

727
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: would I would investigate Wi Fi calling.

728
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: The only risk is sirens in the city.

729
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: That's true theirs.

730
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And it's not so much that the people

731
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: on the other end are going to dock you at

732
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: all for that. But I could see if you're the

733
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: interviewee potentially being knocked a bit off your game. A loud,

734
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: sudden sound could could potentially derail you a little bit. Yeah.

735
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: The coffee shop comes to mind, however, only if you

736
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: can get like the back booth at a Starbucks, if

737
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: you can get away from wherever people are coming and going,

738
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: that's your best bet if you choose to go to

739
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: a place like that.

740
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: My other suggestion would be, ty, are you familiar with

741
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: we work? Yeah, so at some we work locations if

742
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: you can sort of identify where they are within New

743
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: York and whatever cities. But he's in New York specifically.

744
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: You walk in and there is a lobby of sorts,

745
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: and in that lobby or in that sort of gathering area,

746
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: there's some tables and coffee machines whatever. You have to

747
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: use a card pass to to sort of scan yourself

748
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: into the general area. But within that lobby there are

749
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: some phone rooms, there are some little booths there. So

750
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: if you know somebody who works out of a WE work,

751
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: and I imagine if you're in New York and emailing

752
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 2: a podcast, there's a.

753
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: Very good chance, it's a pretty good chance, yeah, that.

754
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: You have a connection to somebody that works at a

755
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: sort of micro startup that might be renting space at

756
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: a WE work and they can let you in, or

757
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: they or you just sort of figure out where WE

758
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 2: work is and you just go and if you can

759
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: get in, that would be my tip.

760
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Here's a sneaky answer. And then I promise we're going

761
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: to pick some games. Yeah, find a department store. That's

762
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: not bad. Find a department store and walk around like

763
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: the men's clothing section. You're not going to get an echo.

764
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: For the most part. It's a quiet setting in.

765
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: The middle of the day, not a lot of people there.

766
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: Middle of the day, not a lot of people there.

767
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: I think you can get away with it.

768
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: I don't think sound will travel that well, because it'll

769
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: and that's a good thing, because it'll the.

770
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Clos dead, the same reason we tell people to record

771
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: a podcast in like a walking closet. Sure deadens the sound.

772
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: No echo, probably not much commotion. I think that's a sleeper.

773
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: That's a good idea tie. Look at you coming.

774
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: Through, Thank you, thank you.

775
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: I want I advocate for trespassing, which I guess you

776
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: sort of do, right, So you might have to buy

777
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,239

Speaker 1: West Virginia, Florida also in the same bracket. Okay, I

789
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: got problems in this one.

790
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: So there's a playing game against Villanova l Brooklyn, which

791
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: is not far from me and d Radford.

792
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: Radford excuse me.

793
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Radner, I think was on How I Met Your Mother?

794
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradner's down by Philly.

795
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, would I rather eat in Brooklyn or Philly.

796
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: It's the uncertainty. I'm gonna go with Philly and Villanova. Okay,

797
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: I assume you're going there as well.

798
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: Gotta go, Yeah, I gotta go Nova. Virginia Tech against Alabama.

799
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: Classic college football matchup here. This is true.

800
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: I think they opened the season in like a Chick

801
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: fil A kickoff a little bit ago. I would rather

802
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 2: eat Blacksburg or Tuscalosa. I'm gonna go with Tea Town.

803
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: I think Virginia Tech gets revenge here. Really, I'm gonna

804
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: go Tech. Yeah, buzz Williams and Tech. Alabama has a

805
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: star in Colin Sexton. He almost single handedly won a

806
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 2: three on five game. Remember that game. Yeah, I'm gonna

807
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: go with Colin Sexton and tuscal LUSA.

808
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: Eats West Virginia against Murray State.

809
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: Who tutors Biscuits. Give me the Mountaineers.

810
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: West Virginia plays tenacious defense, they do. We're gonna go

811
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Wichita State against Mashall.

812
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: I've heard underrated things about Wichita as a city, which

813
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: makes me think that there's some good eating. I'm going Wichita.

814
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: Now, you could set up the All West Virginia matchup

815
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: between the Mountaineers and the Thundering Herd here if you

816
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: went thirteen over a four. H I'm a sucker for Wichita.

817
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm going number four Wichita. Okay, here is where I

818
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: have the problems. Okay, A, We've got the number six

819
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: seed Florida, which I already said previously. I love the

820
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: number six seed all the time. And then there's a

821
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: play in game. For some odd reason, I read man,

822
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: I read an article many moons ago that was trumpeting

823
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Saint Bonaventure.

824
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: I think Nicole Auerbacker pal lovest the Bonnies of Saint Bonaventrics.

825
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: I love the sixth seed and I love Saint Bonaventure. Dan.

826
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: So now I guess I will get a chance to

827
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: like see which way this one's gonna go, or I

828
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: can get a better idea of which way this thing's

829
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna go after the actual playing game. Mm hmm. But

830
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: if we assume Saint Bonaventure, that puts me in a

831
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: bit of a bind having a pick between the two

832
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: of them, Florida against Saint Bonnie.

833
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: So where are you gonna go, really really dig deep

834
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: into your I'm gonna go.

835
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go St. Bonaventure. Okay, I'm gonna go Saint Bonaventure.

836
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go Uclaver Florida. I'd much rather eating

837
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: West Weather ch Mouth, rather eat at a Dedie Reese

838
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: or Dan Morey's. Yeah, give me the Bruins here over

839
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: Florida and over Sat Bonnie's.

840
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: Is it Ucla?

841
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ucla is playing Saint Bonaventure.

842
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: Oh crap, uh, I'm still gonna go Saint Bonaventure.

843
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: That's fine with your heart.

844
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: A classic showdown between Texas Tech and Steve and f

845
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: Austin was Stephen F. Austin, a team that like two

846
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: years ago had all seniors and they were very good.

847
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: They had like one loss.

848
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had Brad Underwood, I want to say, and

849
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: now he's at Illinois. They had a super good coach. Okay,

850
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: so they and they won a game. I think they

851
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: upset somebody in the first round that year.

852
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: And actually, unlike Texas Tech on the football field, this

853
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: Texas Tech plays pretty good defense. You're number three in

854
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: the nation according to Kent pom So. I guess I

855
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: gotta go Texas Tech here because of defense.

856
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go Tech here as well.

857
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Arkansas against Butler, I gotta go Butler. Butler's just got

858
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: the pedigree in the tournament.

859
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: Did they. I think they just lost their coach to

860
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: somebody recently, which worries me a little bit. But I'm

861
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: gonna go Butler as well.

862
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: Purdue against cal State Fullerton? Are they still the dirt bags?

863
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: Cal State Fullerton?

864
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: I think that's a nickname for their baseball teach. Okay,

865
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: I think they have an official I think they're the Titans. Okay,

866
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: I want to say, Actually, I don't think full is

867
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: Is it Fullerton that's the dirt Beggs or is it

868
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: Long Beach State?

869
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: Long Beach State? Yeah?

870
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, Okay, I'm gonna go Fullerton's not bad. Purdue eating

871
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: is not great. I've been to I've been to the

872
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: Purdue campus in West Lafayette. I'm still gonna go with Purdue, though,

00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he turned down or there was something that

886
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,839

00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: I'm going Purdue.

895
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: I go Villanova over Wichita in my bracket.

896
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: I feel as if Villanova always loses, other than the

897
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: one time they didn't always lose. So I'm going Wichita.

898
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: Here all right, and then I'm gonna go Purdue over

899
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: Saint Bonnie. The run ends in the sweet sixteen.

900
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 2: I'm going Purdue over Wichita.

901
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: And I am gonna go Purdue over Villanova. Okay, into

902
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: the final four, which brings us Midwest, brings us to

903
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: our final bracket. Here we've got Kansas against the number

904
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: sixteen seed Pen another Philly school with a good eating situation, Dan.

905
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: Ty give me the Quakers. WHOA give me the Quakers?

906
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: Sooner or later it's gonna happen, right.

907
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: I like Philly. We talk about Ivy League football within

908
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: the context of Patriot League football. Kansas is untrustworthy in

909
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: this tournament year over year over year. Agreed, agreed, give

910
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: me the Quakers. That's a bold play, Dan, love them.

911
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: Come on, Tye.

912
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: Penn is seventy third in the nation in defense and

913
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifth in the nation in adjusted offense.

914
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: All it takes is one day, ty all takes is

915
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: one day.

916
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: Does it matter to you at all that they lost

917
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: to Villanova by twenty eight, to Temple by nine, and

918
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Toledo by thirteen.

919
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: So there's something smart about Penn to me that says

920
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: they're not showing all of their cards during the regular season. Tye, Okay,

921
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: there's a hidden element to the Quaker ball that they're

922
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 2: not showing to the Temples, to the Villanova's of the world.

923
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 1: Have you ever Have you ever gone to the first

924
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: round of the NCAA tournament anywhere?

925
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 2: I have, and it was incredible slash exhausting. I went

926
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 2: in Boise, Idaho.

927
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a long day, It's an exhausting day,

928
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: but I was, I believe. Back in two thousand and six,

929
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: that was the year that George Mason went to the

930
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: Final four and caused of bi Rucas with Jim Laira Naga,

931
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: some friends and I were down at the arena in

932
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Philly to watch first round games and at the time,

933
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: it was I want to say Albany, Albany or Monmouth

934
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: one of those schools against Yukon, and Yukon was universally

935
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: number one seed. They were incredible. But whoever they were playing,

936
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: I think it was Albany. They're hanging around and we

937
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: had no intention of going to that game. We actually

938
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: were at the bar watching on TV. We saw that

939
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: it was close. After halftime, we quick hopped in the

940
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: soay to get back to the stadium nice and it

941
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: ended up being a relatively close game by one versus

942
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: sixteen standards, but ultimately Yukon did win that game. So

943
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I hope You're right, because when a

944
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: sixteen is on the verge or at least challenging a

945
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: number one seed in the NCAA tournament, the atmosphere in

946
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: the room is incredible.

947
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: Is I believe it?

948
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: Truly?

949
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: Have you been to the Palastra? I've been to the Pleustra? Yeah,

950
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: I never have. I would love to awesome setting for

00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: awesome setting for a game. So yeah, I'm rooting for Penn,

952
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: but I gotta go with I gotta go with Kansas here.

953
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: I also make my picks based on which team's most

954
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: sound like office supplies, okay, and so you have to

955
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 2: go Pen. You have to go Pen in that situation.

956
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 2: I also would rather eat in Philly than Lawrence Kansas,

957
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 2: Seaton Hall, n C State. I'm going n C State,

972
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: Jamie Dixon's there, right, yep. And one of those situations where, hey,

973
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 2: Pitt was always pretty good with Jamie Dixon, and I

974
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: learned this last week, Tie, and it is so funny

975
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: to me. Somehow Pitt went eighteen in the acies.

976
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad. It was very bad.

977
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: How do you do that?

978
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: Very bad? Yeah?

979
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was so funny. I apologize secretly,

980
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: decent Pitt fans, you deserve so much better. But I'd

981
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 2: rather eaten fort Worth. And I'd also I just respect

982
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: Jamie Dixon as a coach. The job he's done there

983
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 2: seems good.

984
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: So we go Dan. Here we go Michigan State against

985
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: buck Nell. Gotta go on, Nelly, don't you.

986
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people shout out Louisbourg. There's a

987
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: lot of people who look at Michigan State in a

988
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 2: bracket and they think to themselves, tom izz Owen Marsh,

989
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: that's just how I'm going to roll. But those people

990
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: underestimate something very specific, and.

991
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: That is.

992
00:51:50,680 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 2: That big, wobbling, sweaty, pulsating, penetrating I'm going buck now,

993
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 2: baby wow, give me the Bison.

994
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: A special off season edition of The Drum and Fife.

995
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 2: I can't say that I'd rather eat in Louisbourg than

996
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 2: East Lansing, but I haven't eaten in either place, and

997
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about Louisbourg or East Lancing food,

998
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: so that's sort of a wash for me. And I'm

999
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 2: just going with the big staggy Drummond.

1000
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: Five Rhode Island against Oklahoma, a seven versus a ten matchup.

1001
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm going Michigan State. You know my

1002
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: start's on buck now.

1003
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 2: That's true.

1004
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: Now, I haven't watched a whole lot of college basketball

1005
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: this year, Dan. I did read a little bit on it,

1006
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: just a little bit here and there in passing And

1007
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: is it true what the Internet tells me that ESPN

1008
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: killed Trey Young?

1009
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 2: Supposedly they kept watching him still.

1010
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand by that.

1011
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean YouTube videos.

1012
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: Right, of course, I'm gonna go Oklahoma here.

1013
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Rhode Island is coached by a Hurley. Yeah,

1014
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: not Bobby Butt, like a Dan or Danny Hurley. I

1015
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: have not eaten in Norman. I have eaten in Rhode Island,

1016
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 2: had a couple of very good clamshacks. So I'm gonna

1017
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: go Rhode Island here.

1018
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: And then that brings us to the final game of

1019
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: the first round, Duke against Iona. I already said, I

1020
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: tiped my hand that I'm going to go Duke to

1021
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: win it, all right, So I'm gonna go Duke here

1022
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: over Iona.

1023
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: Iona is just north of New York City, I.

1024
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: Believe, Yes, I believe. So yeah.

1025
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 2: It looks like it's a new Rochelle so sort of

1026
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 2: the Hudson Valley or maybe closer to Connecticut. I don't know,

1027
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: whatever it is, I'm gonna go with Duke. Have you

1028
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: ever been to cookout? Tie?

1029
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: No, I have not.

1030
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh, cookout is so good. I've been to a cookout,

1031
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 2: the one cookout I've been to. Maybe I've been to two,

1032
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 2: but one of them was in Durham and I was

1033
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: super hungry. And I think this was after I went

1034
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: to a Duke North Carolina game that I was covering

1035
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 2: for SI, way back when this would have been two

1036
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: thousand and eight nine, somewhere in there, and I went

1037
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: to Cookout starving, and a friend told me they have

1038
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 2: like a thousand different kinds of milk shakes, and I

1039
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 2: said that's not possible. And I got there and they

1040
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 2: had like a thousand different kinds of milkshakes, and I

1041
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: was starving, and I wanted a milkshake and everything I

1042
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 2: guess comes with hushpuppies, which I still claim totally not

1043
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 2: worth anybody's time anywhere. Hushpuppies.

1044
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, But I heard like a burger.

1045
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 2: And chicken tenders and fry like, I heard a lot

1046
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: of food tie and like a black chocolate cherry milkshake,

1047
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: and it was like three seventy nine. It was so

1048
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 2: inexpensive and it was so good. So I still have

1049
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 2: very fond things and thoughts about Cookout, even though I

1050
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: haven't been in like ten years. So I'm going with

1051
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm going with Duke here for Cookout being the most

1052
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: likable thing related to Duke basketball.

1053
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going Kansas over NC State. Now, you

1054
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: didn't pick Kansas. You had Pin that's true. So and

1055
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: you had Seaton Hall. So does this mean you're gonna

1056
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: go Seaton Hall here? You're gonna go Pin through the

1057
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen?

1058
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 2: My dad went to what was then the New Jersey

1059
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 2: School of Medicine, and I think it became the Seaton

1060
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: Hall School of Medicine. So I do have that personal connection.

1061
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm going with Seaton Hall all right.

1062
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: I've got Kansas going through. I've got Clemson over Auburn

1063
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: Dan another rematch from an early season matchup in college

1064
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: football from this past season, and what is it?

1065
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 2: You know Clemson is Auburn with the Lake. Isn't that

1066
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: what something? Whoops? I'm gonna go with Clemson as well.

1067
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: We've got Michigan State against either ASU or Syracuse. I'm

1068
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna go h Tom Mizzle here.

1069
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 2: Who did I take in that game? You had a TCU,

1070
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go TCU over Buck now here.

1071
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: And then I've got Duke over Oklahoma.

Speaker 1: I'm going to go Duke. And eventually I've got Duke

1087
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 1: over Michigan in the National Championship eighty three seventy eights.

1088
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: My final so I have Arizona Houston, Duke Perdue. Okay,

1089
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: I'm going to go Duke over Perdue. I'm going to

1090
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: do Arizona over Houston. Mom went to Arizona. Yeah, so

1091
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 2: Duke Arizona, which, by the way, sounds like a wonderful

1092
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 2: porn star's name.

1093
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

1094
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to go DeAndre and the Arizona Wildcats.

1095
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: Wow. Say hello to the bad guy.

1096
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, I've eaten well in Tucson. My mom

1097
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: is a wildcat. I just DeAndre Ayton might be the

1098
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 2: best player in this tournament. And I say might be

1099
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: because he is one of eleven players I've seen in

1100
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: this tournament, So he might be, and I feel confident.

1101
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 2: How about that.

1102
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: Don't forget to get in on the solid verbal bracket pool.

1103
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: We've got links posted everywhere. Thank you for hanging with

1104
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: us as we picked our games. Here. Let me ask

1105
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: a question before we address a few other ones. We've

1106
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: got time for, yes, a few short ones, but.

1107
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

1108
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: Have you ever done anything extra special for like the

1109
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA tournament.

1110
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: Generally it's either been watching at work, taking the day off.

1111
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 2: I remember in college I didn't go to classes, or

1112
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: I actually went to the tournament itself. So generally, it's

1113
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: just it's focus, it's good eating, it's hanging out with friends.

1114
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: It's always been a de facto holiday for me. And

1115
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned the super secret basketball pool that I run.

1116
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: I started this pull back in nineteen ninety eight in

1117
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: a class in a math class in sixth period. I'll

1118
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: never forget it, and some friends and I had the

1119
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: idea to start this up, and it was going to

1120
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: be like five bucks an entry, right, You're not supposed

1121
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: to do that in school. And my math teacher at

1122
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: the time caught me collecting collecting money, called me up

1123
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: to the front of the class and wanted to speak

1124
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: to me.

1125
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 2: Can you can you please tell me that your teacher

1126
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: wanted in on this pool.

1127
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: My teacher wanted in on the pool. It's wonderful. My

1128
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: teacher calls me to the front of the class. I

1129
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: thought I had been busted. Mm hmm, and he sort

1130
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: of talks in a hush tone, saying, how much is

1131
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: it per entry? What are we talking? Fifty? Hondout? He

1132
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: flipped me a ten. He had two entries in and

1133
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: then on top of it, because he knew that somebody

1134
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: in the class had entries in this basketball pool, he

1135
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: wheeled in. Remember those old tube TVs that we had,

1136
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, thing is on like the back of a truck.

1137
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: He wheeled this ty Yeah, he wheeled it in. He

1138
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: plugged it in, he started it up, tuned it into

1139
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: CBS and said, just humor me every now and again

1140
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: and look up, act like you're paying attention. But I

1141
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: don't care if you watch the games. That was the

1142
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: first year of this basketball pool that I run, so

1143
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: I've been running it ever since. The only other Opening

1144
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: Day of March Madness story that I can tell a

1145
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: side of that and actually going to the games back

1146
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 1: in oh six, which I've done a bunch of times

1147
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: by the way round in Philly. I did do the

1148
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: thing once where I went out to Vegas for the

1149
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: first in tournament. It was an interesting experience.

1150
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 2: It's got to be overwhelming.

1151
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,439
Speaker 1: It was overwhelming. My friends and I weren't rich enough

1152
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: at the time to stay at Caesar's where they have

1153
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: all the TVs. Obviously, there are a bunch of places

1154
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: that do, but Caesar's was the closest to us and

1155
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: we couldn't afford to stay there, so we stayed elsewhere,

1156
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: and we pulled the move where I don't know if

1157
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: it's still configured like this, but we played quino all

1158
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: day because they the Keynot Room was adjacent to where

1159
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: they have the four big TVs and caesar Sports Book,

1160
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: and so we would play kino all day, win every

1161
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: now and again. But as long as you're playing, you

1162
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: have a seat.

1163
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Mm hm.

1164
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: We sat in the Keno Room and we watch college

1165
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: basketball many many moons ago.

1166
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I don't have stories beyond that. Yeah,

1167
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: let's see. I've run pools in the past, both school

1168
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: and work. The only pool I'm going to be in

1169
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: this year is the solid verbal pool. So you're getting

1170
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 2: the best of my picks. And I mean, this is

1171
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 2: the worst of my picks on this show, but I

1172
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 2: feel like I'm going to do better than somebody with

1173
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: the where I'd rather eat pool.

1174
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: So that's what my people are going to hate this show.

1175
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 2: Where are you gonna what are you gonna eat for

1176
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: the first day?

1177
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Good question? Good question?

1178
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 2: Did Philly cheese steaks at work a couple of years.

1179
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Ago and that was nice? M Okay, you know what

1180
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna doing? I don't know.

1181
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Do you check out pizza nearby?

1182
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll tweet it. Let's do. Let's do a couple questions

1183
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: here before we go.

1184
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Our pal Peter rank sporting events by background noise slash,

1185
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,439
Speaker 2: ability to have on at all times and get into

1186
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 2: it no matter when. So to me, this is every

1187
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 2: sport with college football, and like the NBA Finals, they're

1188
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: the only really sports. And I guess the World Series

1189
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 2: if I have, like I was paying close attention with

1190
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: this past year with the Dodgers. But in terms of

1191
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: non championship level sports, I love casually ignoring baseball games.

1192
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: I love casually you know, looking at my laptop and

1193
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 2: you know, having the Olympics onto the background, or the

1194
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: World Cup or Saturday Morning EPL, I think is fantastic

1195
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 2: because you hear through the announcers, especially the British announcers,

1196
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: that rising tone. Yes, so they're there. There are good

1197
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 2: signals with Saturday Morning EPL. Make some coffee, have some breakfast,

1198
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 2: you're on your computer, catching up on whatever on the couch,

1199
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: so EP is up there for me. But the tournament

1200
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: is really good because the games are quick enough that

1201
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 2: there's always sort of action every few minutes, like oh

1202
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 2: let's go to Greensboro. Oh let's go to Spokane, Oh

1203
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 2: let's go to Anaheim, Oh let's go to Austin or whatever,

1204
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 2: where you don't have to be constantly there. But through

1205
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: like the tones of broadcasters, you get good clues. So

1206
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: that to me is I think the tournament's up there.

1207
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: The Masters is great.

1208
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: The Masters is up there. Baseball, I think is the

1209
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: obvious answer.

1210
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 2: Baseball is my number one NAP sport. Baseball over golf for.

1211
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Napping baseball is a good answer here. What I would say, though,

1212
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: if you want to be internacial about it, Dan, and

1213
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Olympics, like if we lived in Norway,

1214
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: where obviously sports like cross country skiing and some other

1215
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: winter sports are a little bit more prominent. Did you

1216
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: hear any of the commentary for the cross country skis

1217
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: events at the Olympics?

1218
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 2: Were they all in?

1219
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: It's very intense. I love that very intense. If the

1220
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: guy that NBC hired to commentate it can get that

1221
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: into it. My hunch is that whoever Norway has calling

1222
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: it is pretty damn into it too. True, So are

1223
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: you My international answer would be cross country?

1224
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: So good Internet. Are you more of a golfer a

1225
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 2: baseball napper?

1226
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: Probably?

1227
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Baseball baseball is almost a podcast baseball commentary because it's

1228
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 2: just like fun fact about Brett Johnson in high school

1229
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 2: was in the drama club and it says here was

1230
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 2: in a performance of Chicago. He was the hello filler

1231
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 2: on the roof? How about right there? It's just like this,

1232
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: it's story time. It makes for such a good natural nap.

1233
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: And I grew up with Vin Scully and so you're

1234
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: topping talking top of the top NAP narrators. It was

1235
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 2: it was a base Sunday Avenue baseball nap to me

1236
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 2: is just unmatched. On where we go next, Let's go

1237
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 2: to Kelly. This question comes to us from Kelly Hitchcock

1238
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: on Reddit, who is from Kansas City, is a Kansas

1239
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 2: State fan who lives in Austin. Had a couple questions

1240
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 2: about are we doing anything for south By this year?

1241
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 2: We've done it in the past. Are you doing anything

1242
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: this year? Ty, I can tell you we're not. Nope,

1243
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 2: because you're in Pennsylvania. I am in Brooklyn as we

1244
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: are recording this in south By is happening and happened

1245
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 2: some last week. South By Southwest is It's a fun

1246
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: place to see people you like and haven't seen in

1247
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 2: a long time, and there are a few interesting talks

1248
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 2: and roundtables and panels and stuff like that. But if

1249
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 2: you like Austin, which I imagine if Kelly's living there,

1250
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: south By is not a good time to go to Austin.

1251
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 2: It makes you appreciate the rest of the weeks of

1252
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 2: the year in Austin. So we are not doing anything

1253
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 2: there this year, but good people, fun times. When we've

1254
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 2: done it, and what is it you like about where

1255
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 2: you live now because you don't have to deal with

1256
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 2: something you didn't enjoy from quote back home. Tough question

1257
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 2: for you, tough question for me living with general vicinity. Yeah,

1258
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 2: I can answer this. I can answer that question. I'm

1259
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 2: sure the area has changed some too.

1260
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: The area has changed a lot.

1261
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1262
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Actually the area is a lot more built up now

1263
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: than it was when I was living quote unquote back home.

1264
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: So there's a lot more to do now than there

1265
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: was when I was in high school. The obvious answer

1266
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: for me is Wegmans right now. I mean, let's be

1267
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: real about this. I can walk to Wegmans in a

1268
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: matter of minutes from my front door. That to me,

1269
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that back.

1270
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: I think there's opening in Brooklyn at some point.

1271
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh Dan, do it get on that?

1272
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 2: Well, it's they're putting it in. I think the Navy Yard,

1273
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: which is sort of a no man's land in terms

1274
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 2: of public transportation, which is fine. You can still get there.

1275
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 2: You have to rent a car or whatever, long walk

1276
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 2: from the train. I'm very excited to go. Yes, my

1277
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: answer is not driving slash, not parking coming from LA

1278
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 2: and sitting in traffic and even getting somewhere and then

1279
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 2: having to spend another ten or fifteen minutes looking for

1280
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: a spot, because ty, I do not make enough money,

1281
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 2: especially now to live that valet life. I just don't,

1282
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 2: so don't. I like public transportation a whole lot. It

1283
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 2: gets you places efficiently for the most part. I know

1284
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 2: the MTA is pretty bad, but for the most part

1285
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 2: it's pretty efficient. Hated parking. I hated everything like that.

1286
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 2: So that I mean, I drove a little bit. Last week.

1287
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 2: I went and saw a friend in a different state

1288
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 2: and rented a car, and even that it was fine.

1289
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 2: And I do very annoying things. And when I'm alone

1290
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 2: in a car. Have I done this with you? Have

1291
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 2: I done the FM game with you?

1292
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, we've played that game before.

1293
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's some people like you appreciate that I do.

1294
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Jody with an Eye does not like that.

1295
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: I can understand where she's coming from. That's a very

1296
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 1: dorky sports media thing there.

1297
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's introducing songs as they come on the radio,

1298
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: is if you were an FMDJ, not unlike my serious

1299
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 2: XM game previews during the during the August time. So uh,

1300
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: that's that's our answer, all right.

1301
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: And the final question here Meg do Meg? Come on?

1302
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Megan says, how do I get a boyfriend? That is

1303
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: a loaded question, Meg. Okay, I'm assuming we can call

1304
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: her Meg, and that's not being disrespectful.

1305
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 2: No, let's I don't know. She either went to Auburn

1306
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 2: as an Auburn fan whatever, and somebody else asked how

1307
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 2: do find somebody to date if you're anti social? So

1308
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: we can sort of encapsulate.

1309
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 1: This is a very broad question though, Meg, like bring

1310
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: me a rock. You know. It's we can only do

1311
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: so much with a question like this.

1312
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 2: But is there a location on her on her Twitter accounts?

1313
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 2: I didn't. Don't think that changes my answer necessarily.

1314
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't.

1315
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 2: I didn't see the planes. And she's a mod at

1316
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Redditt CFB the college football which is fantastic.

1317
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Right uh oo? Okay, so I think first and foremost.

1318
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 2: In Kansas City, So it seems like you either in

1319
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 2: Auburn or from Kansas City or went to Auburn whatever,

1320
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 2: So not too different.

1321
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: I think the first thing that I would posit here

1322
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: is don't worry about asking the question about how to

1323
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: get a boyfriend. H don't like, don't don't psych yourself

1324
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: out about that. Okay, you know, don't think too much

1325
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: about that and just be yourself and just by being yourself,

1326
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: eventually you'll attract that other positive energy. See what I'm

1327
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 1: going with that.

1328
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Let's get more specific, Ti.

1329
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So beyond that, beyond just sort of a broad

1330
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: like mentality. I think we've discussed this before on the podcast.

1331
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: You want to go to places where people aren't necessarily

1332
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: looking for dates. Like everyone talks about, oh, let's go

1333
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 1: out to the bar and meet people, but like maybe

1334
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: maybe go to the supermarket, uh, and just hang around, like,

1335
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:57,839
Speaker 1: don't work.

1336
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Don't work in a creepy way, but go to the

1337
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 2: supermarket and I do have a particular aisle or section.

1338
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm spitballing here.

1339
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 2: Okay, oh my god, no, keep going, keep spitballing. Go

1340
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 2: down that path, TI, commit Go somewhere.

1341
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Go somewhere where there's not that eminent pressure on everyone to,

1342
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, try and find a date. Go somewhere where

1343
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: you can be yourself. You're in your natural habitat, you

1344
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: can be yourself and if you meet someone, the pressure

1345
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: won't be there. Okay, maybe that's a supermarket for you,

1346
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: ale G. I don't know a.

1347
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 2: Lot of different paths here. Obviously online is not as

1348
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 2: daunting for men as it is for women. Straight men,

1349
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 2: straight women, So I mean it's a she's a woman

1350
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 2: looking for a boyfriend, and I from what I can understand, ty,

1351
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 2: it's a minefield for women. It's you know, dudes are

1352
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 2: not great as a species. No online, so that's tough.

1353
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 2: But obviously there are a lot of success stories, self included.

1354
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go So a friend of the show,

1355
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to name him because this is his life,

1356
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 2: but a friend of the show who's been on the

1357
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 2: show met his significant other going too. And this might

1358
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 2: be very specific to big cities, but he met his

1359
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 2: significant other going to improv classes. Okay, And I think

1360
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 2: that's a really good and that's another good answer for

1361
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 2: the person who asked about finding somebody if you're a

1362
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 2: little bit antisocial, people go to improv classes, and I'm

1363
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 2: dying to go, you know, take an improv class. Maybe

1364
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 2: now is the time.

1365
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: I think our podcast is an improv class, isn't it.

1366
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 2: That's true, a very very bad improv class, but an

1367
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: improv class nonetheless, But it's really good for people who

1368
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: want to get better at speaking to others, be it

1369
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 2: professionally or personally, or performing or sort of engaging in

1370
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 2: a better way. So something like improv or acting classes.

1371
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 2: You know, I know, rec league sports are big out

1372
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 2: here in a bunch of cities because they're co ed

1373
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 2: and everybody's roughly the same adiaim professional and in a city,

1374
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 2: and it's just a good way to meet people. So

1375
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 2: if you don't make a you know, meet a significant other.

1376
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: A lot of times people go out for beers or

1377
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 2: whatever for food after the game and then like, oh,

1378
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 2: you should meet my friend Tim, or you should meet

1379
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 2: my friend Babs. Are people named Babs? Probably not, but

1380
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 2: that I think that the rec leagues and you get

1381
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 2: some exercise, you work off a couple lbs, you burn

1382
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: some cows. That that's a fun way bring you know,

1383
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 2: the endorphins are up, so you're perhaps more of yourself.

1384
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 2: So I would recommend rex sports. I would recommend an

1385
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 2: improv class. You know online is good, but you know,

1386
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 2: you just you got to wade through some mud. I

1387
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: would got them. I couldn't tell you about a supermarket.

1388
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: So I still think the supermarket strategy could be a

1389
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: potential game changer here.

1390
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I think it's also important to It's not

1391
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 2: a matter of not having shame, it's a matter of

1392
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 2: just going forward in sometimes people are ashamed to like

1393
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 2: ask their friends if they know anybody to like they

1394
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 2: they want to wait for a friend to be like, hey,

1395
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 2: do you want to be set up with? Like my

1396
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: friend's cousin Brad. Like I think sometimes you have to

1397
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 2: put yourself out there in terms of if you know anybody,

1398
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 2: I'd love to like, you know, have a drink or

1399
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 2: a coffee with somebody. I think putting yourself out there

1400
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 2: in the like letting people know you're open to being

1401
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 2: set up and just like meeting people.

1402
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: I still think supermarket.

1403
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,719
Speaker 2: But tell me what you would do. Let's say solid

1404
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 2: wife Kate comes to her senses and Mary's a much

1405
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 2: more successful podcast or I don't know who that is, right,

1406
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: Let's you know Ira Glass, sure, sure, as reclined whatever,

1407
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:52,759
Speaker 2: and you are are left to your own devices romantically, Okay,

1408
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 2: And you say, you know what I said it publicly

1409
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 2: that a supermarket is an option.

1410
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: I love Wegman's dannatal habitat.

1411
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 2: So what what are you doing at Wegmans No vibes?

1412
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you have to work there to get

1413
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: a job at Wegmans. Do you get a job at

1414
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: the supermarket just so thatw you can interact with people?

1415
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 2: Is it a Wegmans with like a beer garden?

1416
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: Because those exist?

1417
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 2: Right?

1418
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: They do exist? Yeah?

1419
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so would you like try to get a bartending job?

1420
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: I guess I got to work at Wegman's pub.

1421
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think that's the worst idea.

1422
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: And sort of play that angle. But then that sort

1423
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: of is counter to everything I said about not meeting

1424
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: people in the bar. So I'm I'm kind of talking

1425
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: to myself in circles here.

1426
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 2: It's not a traditional bar.

1427
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: This is true.

1428
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 2: It's not a traditional bar. But if you are short

1429
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 2: of working for Wegman's tie.

1430
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: This is going to set relationships back about twenty years

1431
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: right here.

1432
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: Now, you're good because I set I set this up,

1433
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 2: I think successfully and saying that Kate has done better.

1434
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 2: It is her choice. This is not you leaving Kate right,

1435
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 2: It is her choice. And I want to put the

1436
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: record out there right now. Tye is deeply, deeply in

1437
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 2: love with Kate.

1438
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: This is correct.

1439
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, as for everything I know, deeply deeply in love.

1440
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 2: Plans on no other other option than a lifetime together.

1441
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But in.

1442
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 2: This hypothetical second world where she finds a more successful podcaster,

1443
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 2: more charming, earth too, better better production value, the whole

1444
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 2: like really heartbreaking. Right, You're at Wegman's and you're saying,

1445
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: I'm comfortable here and it's sort of nice that I

1446
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 2: could be dating somebody who also shops and has the

1447
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 2: same grocery taste as myself. Is what is once you?

1448
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 2: Are you just strolling? Are you sitting by a bakery,

1449
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 2: by the prepared foods?

1450
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I haven't fully thought this strategy through, Dan, and have

1451
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: not gathered. I have not thought this the full way through.

1452
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 2: Eventually, you're going to have to circling on a Wegman's

1453
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 2: tour because word is going to get out.

1454
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: It's going to get out on the women. People are

1455
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: going to think of one of those in store cops

1456
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: that just lurks around with the Earbut right.

1457
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would probably you have to give

1458
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 2: yourself no more than like ten or fifteen minutes in

1459
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 2: the store, and I would. I would probably have to

1460
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 2: be mobile and comment in a positive way on something

1461
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 2: that a woman in Wegmans is ordering or buying, or

1462
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 2: like like ooh great, call on those pita chips. Yeah,

1463
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 2: my favorite? You ever try those with hummus?

1464
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1465
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 2: What's your favorite? Like you have you have to keep

1466
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 2: it positive and you can and it has to be

1467
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 2: related to a purchase or a food decision.

1468
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the move. Yeah.

1469
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 2: Uh. And then and you have to be willing to

1470
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 2: bail quickly because if if somebody is not super keen

1471
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 2: on being hit on it.

1472
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: A ground, you gotta go.

1473
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 2: You gotta go.

1474
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: You gotta move on to the dairy section.

1475
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be like a special teams gunner.

1476
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta gotta try your best on that

1477
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 2: one play and then you're just back to the sideline.

1478
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: I need, I need to workshop the strategy a little

1479
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: bit more full disquition.

1480
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you're fully wrong, but I don't think

1481
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 2: it can be habitual.

1482
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Probably not.

1483
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it can be habitual.

1484
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: Who we covered some ground in this show man. I'm like,

1498
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: of the fun, but people were starting to guess who

1499
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:50,920
