<v Speaker 1>to the solid car. But boys and girls, my name

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is Ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over there in

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>blustery New York City. My good friend Dan Rubinstein, sir,

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>how are you?

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm all right, Ty, I'm moving. I'm in the process.

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm moving really So which if and I know you

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't if you've never moved from an apartment to an

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>apartment within the greater New York City area. Don't ever

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 2>do that. No, don't, don't. Don't. Other than that, ty

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm all right, I'm all right, hanging in. I'm playing

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>hanging in there, had a good turkey sandwich for lunch,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>sat in a coffee shop, and did some work earlier

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.119
<v Speaker 2>today the real New York and Brooklyn experienced, Tye. It's

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the real thing.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>So today's show is going to be a little bit different.

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>We've actually gotten requests to do a show like this

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in previous years, but we didn't. And now because the

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>spirit has moved us, You've got some free time. I've

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>got a need to let off some steam here. We're

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to be talking college football today, at least

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>not in the traditional sense. Now, we got a bunch

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of questions from social media, from our friends over at Reddit,

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>through the email inbox at sliverbo at gmail dot com.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>We're going to try and address as many of those

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>as we can. But for the first time ever, this

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>is sort of a combo show between the Q and

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>A that we've received, and I think the topic du

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>jour for many sports fans. This week the college basketball tournament.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Marsh Maddness is starting up, right, Yes.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>So we're doing an NIT show. So Oregon As is

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 2>opening up. It actually might be we're recording this on Tuesday.

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it might be tonight.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe tonight.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they're playing Writer. Okay, can you tell me?

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of the university or college named Writer?

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>It's in New Jersey? Yeah, is it?

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I know they the mid Atlantic Conferences not. Yeah, it's

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 2>like the MAA C. Yeah, I know, never heard of it.

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I know heard of people who have gone to Writer.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Is that true.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a very good wrestling school, believe it or not.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Name one person that went to Writer.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, you don't know them.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 2>These are fine, Just kim, Just tell me who.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Of my friend John's son went to Writer?

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Did he enjoy his time at Writer?

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I think?

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Did he wrestle?

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>He did not wrestle? No, oh okay.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we are not doing an IT bracket. We're

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna do an NCAA bracket. But we also have a

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>bunch of questions for an early March Q and a

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>early to mid March Q and A. Is that correct?

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>We took people's questions on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. A

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of good ones came in, so we sort of

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>narrowed them down to the ones that we most want

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to answer, but more specifically to the bracket tie. How

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>many games in total did you watch this year in

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the great land of college basketball?

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You can't quite quantify it like that, Dan, here is

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>my process. Okay, we overload on college football between late

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>August and early January, and when early January hits, I

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>usually go pretty dark until fantasy baseball season rolls around.

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Then I do a little bit of research because I'm

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>into baseball, but as it relates to college basketball. I've

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>watched about thirty total minutes of college basketball all year.

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I've watched two and a half I'd say the

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 2>equivalent of two and a half games. I watched the

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 2>second half of Duke North Carolina, not in the ACC Tournament,

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 2>although I did watch a little bit of that, but

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I watched the full second half at the end of

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the season. I watched a couple Oregon games here at

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>like just patches of orgames. They they tip the Oregon

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>games in the Packball tournament tipped at eleven thirty PM.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.359
<v Speaker 1>That's a very heavy lift.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>They're not making it easy time.

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>No, that's a heavy lift on the East coast.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not making it super easy. I usually when

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>in my previous job, I start at the end of

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>February early March because I have to do live shows

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>around the bracket. But I don't anymore, so I'm usually

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>in that ken palm world. Yeah, just like Okay, this

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>team plays good defense, this team plays quickly. These are

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>the names of stars. I know who Ish is going

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to be taken in the lottery, but I have not

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.799
<v Speaker 2>seen Miles Bridges play basketball time right, right, and just haven't.

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>So I arrive more unprepared for this bracket than normal,

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>which makes me think I'm going to do better because

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:22.799
<v Speaker 2>we have a bracket, right, we have a challenge.

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>We do have a bracket. So that's an important side note.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>If you are listening at home, if you want to

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>get in on the festivities, heaven forbid, you should take

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>any of this advice literally and pick according to our

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>suggestions here. But we do have a bracket pool. It

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>will grow to be very large, going out to our

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page or Twitter. We'll post it on Instagram, on

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>our website, we'll post it. I think we can post

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it as part of the description of this actual show dope.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So get in on it. It's free. It's through ESPN

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Tournament Challenge. You can enter like ten times if you

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>so desire. But what we're going to do now.

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get that when we get the brackets of

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Mama h Yeah.

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll get them all in. Okay, we'll get them

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>all in. Yeah, we'll get them all in. You could

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>play against the star's solid wife Kate yep. Sure, and

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go through now we're going to pick

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>all these games.

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we are going to do that. Do you have

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>somebody asked this question if you have a particular upset

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>that you've called through the years that makes you confident

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 2>that like, oh, I know what I'm doing here, I

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>know the right thirteen seed to pick. Do you have

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>one that you remember.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, it doesn't really apply this year.

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 2>No, of course not.

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>But I'll just say generally speaking, when Xavier isn't a

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>number one seed, I picked Xavier to go inordinately far

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>in these tournaments.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>It's not a bad call. It's not a bad call

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 2>upset wise. I picked because obviously we have the Patriot

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>League as a near and dear part of our hearts.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I remember picking Lehigh over Duke, which I think they

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>still sell shirts of like the score like Lehigh whatever,

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Duke whatever in the Lehigh bookstore, which I've been to

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>that bookstore. Tie. I picked that game, and I specifically,

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>in doing research, saw that they had a player named CJ. McCollum,

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and I said to myself, that sounds like a good player.

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Without having watched any Lehigh basketball ever before or since,

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I specifically remember saying like, hey, he's averaging a bunch

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>of points. Let's go with Let's go with Lehigh? Why not?

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And I that had that makes me think that I

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>just I know a little bit more than the average

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Mountain Hawk. Here here's my other, my other big point

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>before we get into our bracket picks, which are very

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be very bad. How is and I know

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>he you can subscribe? How is there not like a

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>big splash cors light ad on Kenpalm dot com And.

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. I'm on, what are you doing? Ken?

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I am on his website, like, how how is there

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>not like make a make your picks refreshing? He sells

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>a subscription right that I'm assuming mostly reporters subscribe to

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 2>h and it.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Has to be all reporters, right. There's no banner ads

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>on here at all. This This reeks of someone who's

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>doing it purely out of love of the game, and.

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I get that.

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>But in March, I know, get paid Ken. There you go,

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>new job, Ken first.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Media does not last forever. Ken that money, take that.

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Money, Kenpalm dot Com. All right, So I have Ken

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Palm dot Com up on my screen. There are a

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>couple things that I am going to use to guide

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>me here, all right. A couple formulas at play, because

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>really I've done no research and I haven't watched the games.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>The first thing is that I've read previously that teams

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that perform well on the Kenpalm dot Com defensive efficiency

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>metric generally do better in the tournament sense. Speaks to

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the adage of defense winning championships that applies here. I've

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>got that in front of me. The other is that

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I read via Twitter and I was trying to find it.

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't that the team that wins the second installment

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of Duke versus North Carolina usually does really well in

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the tournament, and they've won five national championships in the

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>span of Like I don't know, maybe fourteen years, however

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>long it's been since Roy Williams got to UNC side.

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Note real quick, this is a college football podcast that

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>is truct Let's continue. Let's continue.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And the team that loses that second installment is like

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>five hundred over the same period of time. So, and

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>who won the last installment? It was Duke or Duke

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>won the last one. Duke won the last one. So

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be probably my national championship pick. Cool,

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>all right. And then the other thing that I'll throw

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>in here is the late great Marianne Calarusso, my grandmother,

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 1>for whom for whom my annual college basketball pool is

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>named not ours, but the secret on the sly money

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>one that I do.

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Double chess, Sammy Sosa pound kiss to the sky.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Grammy had her own little formula. She watched

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>basketball every night religiously, and her formula was this. First off,

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Duke Duke was her toes. She picked Duke all the time.

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Duke was always her national champion. But after Duke she

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>would veer very strongly towards coaches with Italian last names, okay,

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and then coaches from Catholic institutions. Oh, Okay, now it

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>sounds funny, but Grammy won the pool numerous years, and

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad formula when you when you actually

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>see it in practice. Like obviously coach Uschefki is pretty successful.

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>You picked Duke, You're gonna come out on top.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Super Italian more often than not.

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, but think think of some of the Italian last names, Cola, Pari, Patino,

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>until recently Izzo, guys who have historically done very well

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>in the tournament seem to have Italian last names.

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>If only, god, if only what Grandma h knew that

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>not only was Rick Patino's last name of Italian origin,

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>but also what he was able to do in an

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Italian wrestling.

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, Oh my god, exactly.

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>He did win a national championship.

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you got the Italian last names, You've got

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.599
<v Speaker 1>the Catholic institutions, which you know normally would speak to

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame but speaks now to Villanova, well Xavier. Right,

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>So just throwing that out there, that is what I'm

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>going to use is my basic framework for making some

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of these selections.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think Mama h is places she picks against

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Catholic institutions, and four places where she knows people that

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>went to school there, or is confused about who.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Went to sit Mama Rubinstein, you're saying.

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Mama rub excuse me, mam Rubs now, Mama h And

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So I do like the dichotomy of the sort of

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>opposite theories at work.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, So how do we want to do this?

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Do we want to pick our own or do we

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>want to pick one like unified bracket between the two

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of us that we can enter.

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's just go through. Just tell me. Let's start

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>with the South Region tie. So it appears that's Virginia,

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>who I think I just saw a lost a key

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 2>player due to injury. Virginia and Cincinnati, which who knew

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati was good this year? Do you have any Let's

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>just go and tell me if you have any upsets

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>in the first round.

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'm looking at this. I don't think so.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I think I go Uva. I think I go Creighton

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>over k State, which I didn't know until recently that

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Creighton's in Nebraska, by the way, that's on me.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, dude, it's an Omaha.

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky over Davidson Steph Curry no longer there. Kentucky actually

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>has been playing pretty well, So throw Kentucky through. What's

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the deal with Arizona. There's apparently a giant scandal with

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>their coach being picked up on an FBI sting operation.

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>That is that accurate something like that?

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was supposedly there was a wire tap of

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>him discussing one hundred thousand dollars for DeAndre Ayton, who

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 2>might be the number one overall pick in the NBA.

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>But then there was a question about was it in

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen or twenty seven and if it was in

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, he was already It was reported that it

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>was twenty seventeen, but he would have already been enrolled,

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 2>so it doesn't fully add up. And there was ESPN

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 2>had some weird denial or retraction and then read unretraction.

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but they did he get caught on the sting

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>or not?

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's reported, but nothing has happened to him.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>He still there.

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I got to pick Arizona to go

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty far then, just to have a villain to root against.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean to me, it's a hero right

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 2>well sure, yeah, yeah, I like that sort of bravado element.

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm with it.

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I picked Miami over Loyola Chicago. Is there any kind

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of ill will here with you picking Miami given the

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>fact that your lovely wife is from the great city

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of Chicago.

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>No, Loyola, I think is a private school and she

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>has no connection to it. So that's fine.

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee over Wright State. I guess you know what, I'm

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>going to go Texas over Nevada because I always go Texas.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go Texas as well. Shouts to Andy Wall.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Texas, according to Ken Palm is number ten in adjusted defense.

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Great and Shaka has good tournament resumes. Right absolutely, that

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>feels right?

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm gonna go Texas as an upset and

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Davidson as an upset.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna go Davidson, all right, I'm gonna go, and

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go since we're both gonna go Cincinnati in

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the end. So I'm filling this out as we go through.

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>M HM.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>So that brings us to the next round, which is

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Uva against Creighton. I guess Uva. I don't know.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm, Yeah, I'll go with Virginia.

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>There you've got Arizona Davidson. I've got Arizona, Kentucky. You

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta go Arizona given what we now know about Sean Miller.

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm going to Arizona coming out of this bracket.

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Out of this.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Region, Miami against Tennessee. Here's my other Achilles heel when

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to these bracket pools. H I always pick

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the number six seed to go very far. Why, I

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I was hung up on Mississippi State a

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>number of years ago when they were a six seed.

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I was all in on Mississippi State all the research.

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they lost in the first or second round. Okay,

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna go Miami here over Tennessee. Okay, And

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>then I think we'll go We'll go Texas over over Cincinnati.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go Texas over Cincinnati as well. I think

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Texas is bad at basketball, but I don't know anything

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>about either team, and Texas has the clear better Tacos.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's go Uva over Miami for the final four coming

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>out of the South.

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm gonna go Arizona over I guess Tennessee. How

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 2>about that?

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Yeah, all right, not moving on, Let's go to

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the West.

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Bracket Dan Okay, the West bracket, so we have Xavier

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>as a one seed North Carolina and Lipscomb okay, fifteen seed.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>That that bottom half Houston San Diego State. Very good

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 2>food matchup. I think I'm just gonna I'm gonna go

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>through this and just select where i'd want to eat eat. Yeah,

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>where i'd most want to eat. And so Xavier is

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. Uh, there's a playing game. But I'm gonna

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 2>take Xavier there, Missouri, Florida State, So Columbia or Tallahassee.

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go Columbia, Columbus, South Dakota State. I'm gonna

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 2>go Columbus Spokane over Greensboro. Is that where UNC Greensboro

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>or Greenville? What is it?

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a g here on the bracket.

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what UNC Greensboro. It is Greensboro. So

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with Greensboro there, Houston, San Diego State.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Houston, ann Arbor or Montana. I'm gonna go

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 2>ann Arbor, College Station of Providence. I do like do

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>you like clams?

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I do?

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I Still I'm still gonna go with College Station there.

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Lipscumb is in. I want to say, is it in Nashville.

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with Yeah, I'm gonna go with Nashville.

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.240

<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go Houston over ann Arbor. So I think

<v Speaker 2>the Houston has a star player that's that's very good

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:22.280

<v Speaker 2>time in Ohio eating tiem Okay, and then we'll have Columbus.

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.040

<v Speaker 2>I'm going Houston again. Houston's an amazing eating town. And

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.199
<v Speaker 2>so I think I'm gonna have Houston out of the

0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 2>West Wow into the final four.

0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 1>That's ballsy.

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm going with what I know.

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>According to Ken Palm, Houston's defense eighteenth.

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Overall in adjustice defense, come on, tie and hold on

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty first in adjusted offense.

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Have you spent any time in Houston.

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 1>A little bit here and there.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.679
<v Speaker 2>It's such a good city. I love it so just

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 2>eating wise and people wise. It's a pain in the

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>ass getting around. It's so fun.

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, I loved it. It's very easy, very easy

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to get picked off by the light rail.

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Picked off.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>You could get picked off by that light rail.

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like you got hit.

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get hit, but I'm saying I can see

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 1>people getting hit that went dark. Tie.

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I know, Well, who do you have coming out of

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the West?

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Xavier and Florida State, Ohio State and Gonzaga, Houston and

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Michigan A and m and unc all chalk?

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:51.439

<v Speaker 2>Xavier, big Ohio matchup, and.

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I've got Michigan over you, and see which sets up

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>a great matchup in the Elite eight between Michigan and

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State. Wow. Okay, And I'm gonna go Michigan. Love it.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Michigan. So my final two thus far

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 1>are UVA and Michigan, two great American institutions.

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you know where Radford University is, Virginia it is.

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to see that. It looks like it's not

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>terribly far from I guess is it Lynchburg? Yeah, that

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:38.560

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to the East bracket.

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm so glad I've determined that I'm just going

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>through this with where I'd rather eat.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Before we get back to the East bracket, let's answer

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 1>some questions. Pick them out out.

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Pick them out for us. We are a.

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>College football show technically speaking, Yes, let's start here. I

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 2>thought this question was really easy. It was about Missouri football,

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 2>but I think it applies to everybody.

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, do you.

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Know a question I'm talking about?

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for it.

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>This comes to us from Mike. You guys often Mike

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Slackiam you guys often don't talk about mid or lower

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 2>level Power five teams, and rightfully so, Like Miszoo, it's

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>favorite team without necessarily going into too much detail about

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 2>every single one of these teams on that level, can

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 2>you tell us suffering fans what it would take for

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 2>our programs to have some consistency in our conference? Zoom

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 2>made it to two SEC titles in its first three

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 2>years in the league, but no Miszoo fan thinks at

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:20.719
<v Speaker 2>all that we will be title contenders. What can Miszoo

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 2>fans or fans similar programs across the country look for

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 2>slash hope for moving forward? And obviously every conference has

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 2>a Missouri and I mean that neither in a good

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 2>or bad way, but a team that has seen some

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 2>success but has found it difficult to sustain right, So

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>what is Is there a formula to you? You know,

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Missouri has some advantages of playing in a huge conference,

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.360
<v Speaker 2>of having I think really good modern history in terms

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of success and developing high level and well known players

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 2>along especially defensive line, a wide receiver as well. Defense

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 2>is as a whole has been excellent some of these

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 2>past few years. But you know, with the coaching change,

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:06.439
<v Speaker 2>with the conference change, with some pretty major struggles on

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>offense before last season, you know they've fallen upon not

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>hard times, but inconsistent times.

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 1>I think the big thing that we see, especially in

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>this tier of teams, if you want to call it, that,

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:25.679
<v Speaker 1>is inconsistency. There's a consistency that does not exist on

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the football that often prevents these teams

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>from having a reliable eight and four record. Let's say

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those two sides of the coin that

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>brings them down. So I think, first and foremost, you

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 1>want to just be consistent as you can on both

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>sides of the football and just get to a point

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>where it's like before the year even starts, we feel

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty confident about even four.

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Sure, and certainly with the SEC having high level bowl

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>success in terms of getting to the playoff, you know,

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>having really good bowl tie ends you win eight nine

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 2>games a year, as Missouri will probably top out at

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>as it stands now, with how much teams in the

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 2>SEC have been investing and succeeding on the recruiting trail

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 2>and beyond, you know Georgia now in Florida, Tennessee having

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>new coaches, Arkansas with a new coach, Texas A and

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.320
<v Speaker 2>M with a new coach. So there's uncertainty there, which

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I think adds to Missouri. What it to me comes

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 2>down to is they had Gary Pinkel for I want

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to say fifteen years. He started in two thousand and one,

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 2>so there was an element of that was home for him.

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>He had an incredible eye for assistant coaches. He had

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 2>an ability to surround himself with assistant coaches who were

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 2>blue chip I would say, evaluators and developers. That may

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 2>have been highlighted by Craig Kulangowski, the defensive line coach

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 2>who I think is now back at Alabama in the

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 2>SEC after a couple of years at Miami and early

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 2>on I think is where those these types of programs

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 2>like Missouri and you can go across different conferences. I

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know, who do you think is the Missouri of

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the Pac twelve. It's like Washington State, Arizona State, I

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was gonna say, like Asu, Arizona.

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, maybe Texas Tech in the Big twelve, the Big ten,

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say, you know who's who's like the second

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and a half or the second tier in the Big

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 2>ten wistern? Yeah, maybe maybe? Yeah? I mean to be fair,

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 2>nor Or Northwestern has succeeded and Missouri went to two

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 2>SEC championship games. To me, it is can you find

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 2>coaches who are blue chip evaluators and guys who are

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>not going to waste their time trying to compete for

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>five and even four star guys, But you know, finding

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 2>given proximity to Texas and the South, you know, three

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 2>stars with a ton of potential that are physically there

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 2>but are still a little bit raw and targeting those

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>guys early and succeeding. And I think Missouri can do

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.439
<v Speaker 2>that year and in year out. They should be an

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 2>eight win program every year in the SEC East, given

0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 2>that the changes in the division, given the recent modern

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 2>successes and the number of players they've put in the NFL,

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's fair to say that Missouri should win

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 2>eight games a year. They have a good quarterback who

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.200
<v Speaker 2>put up huge numbers last year. They should be able

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to evaluate those guys moving forward. Being so close to

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Texas and that general region, the planes whatever, it's a

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>tough region for local, local talent. But the good news

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 2>tie in terms of consistency, and it comes back to coaching.

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 2>For me, is Barry otam is mister missoo.

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, went to school.

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 2>He has all in on Missouri foot Yes, so it

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:32.679
<v Speaker 2>seems like, you know, it's stupid to call anybody a

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>life or especially coming off of the first half of

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the twenty seventeen season when everybody wanted him gone before

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 2>things sort of turned around with granted a somewhat advantageous

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 2>back back half of that schedule, but they still won

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 2>those games. They still put up a ton of points.

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 2>So we had another email about saying Matt Campbell, Matt

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Campbell does not seem long for ames Iowa, No, and

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a credit to both the players and coaches whatever,

0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and of course the job he's done, whereas barriotam is

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 2>in a un situation where it seems like if Missouri

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>will have him, he would love to be there for

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a long.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Long yet's ol dream job is what we're talking about here.

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 2>This is what we're saying. I mean, he's coaching in

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the SEC. He's coaching on the biggest stage at his

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 2>alma mater, in a place where it seems, you know,

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 2>some guys don't like coming back to their alma mater,

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 2>but he's almost exclusively coached there during his coaching his

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 2>college coaching career, So they're in a pretty good place

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>if they're able to keep hiring well and keep evaluating

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:29.479
<v Speaker 2>high three stars.

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 1>There is a very small subset of our listener base

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>that is going to single out the last five minutes

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of Dan Rubinstein audio and just play it on the loop.

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of Missouri football being injected into your

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>ears right there.

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. I appreciate Missouri football. I've enjoyed watching Missouri football,

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and I hope that they succeed. I enjoyed my time

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 2>in Columbia, Missouri. So that those are my general thoughts

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 2>that applies to a number of schools. It's smart evaluation,

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 2>it's smart recruiting, and it's figuring out some way to

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 2>hire a head coach who I say this as a

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>still kind of hurt Oregon fan does not view your

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 2>job as a stepping stone situation, which, unfortunately, with how

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 2>volatile coaching is, you just you have to understand on

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a certain human level, when somebody has the opportunity to

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>make generational money that they just have to do it

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 2>because they're going to be fired in two years if

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 2>they're disappointing at all. All.

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Right, next question, Buck Hogan asks, I don't know if

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>this is a real name. Okay, it's a fantastic name, sir,

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>mister Hogan, excuse me if it is indeed your real name,

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>God bless you. He says, if teams had to have

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 1>their mascot play a position, what would the best fits be.

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:53.959
<v Speaker 1>I thought a ridiculous amount about this question, did you okay?

0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing I kept coming back to was

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that the Michigan State Spartan would absolutely be a linebacker.

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean he's got the build. I think,

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>has the toughness, has a screw loose, definitely has a

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>screw loose. Mm hmm. I think the Spartan is probably

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like an outside linebacker, middle linebacker, somewhere in that second

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>tier of the defense.

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you this much, though, Ty Joe Morehead would

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>absolutely target the Sparty in a wheel route situation. I

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 2>do not trust Sparti in coverage. That's me and maybe

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 2>it's from watching enough of like the Bullock Brothers or whatever.

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I would target Sparty like hell in the open field.

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Is there a position on the field for the Oregon Duck. Yeah?

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 2>If the Orgon Duck is sort of an h back

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 2>where you would underestimate the duck speed. Some people call

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.959
<v Speaker 2>him Puddles or her puddles, whatever. I just sort of

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>see the duck as a versatile athlete who you see

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>some more. You see bigger personalities these days at tight end, right,

0:31:57.320 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Travis Kelce, I see that type of person that the

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>duck is willing to go up. You know, there's there's

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>a showmanship aspect to the duck throwing Tostito's into the mouth.

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go with a tight end h back situation. Versatile,

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 2>willing to be a character.

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought a lot about the Stanford Tree mm hmmm.

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And red zone threat, Yeah, I mean red zone threat statue,

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>immobile quarterback, another option someone who plays on special teams,

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe just to solely block a kick or get in

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the way. But then there is that component of also

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>having a screw lose that I think makes a red

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>zone I was thinking along the same lines of a

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 1>red zone threat potentially is a better option there.

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I think a specialty player. You're not trusting

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.479
<v Speaker 2>the Tree as a three down player.

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>The Penn State Nitney Lion is maniac and I see

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the Nitny Lion as some sort of free safety type position, Okay,

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>somewhere he can just work and pounce no pun intended.

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll stay in the big ten and I'm gonna put

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the wolverine and the badger because they're actually I mean,

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>they have like the you know, there's obviously Bucky, but

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the actual animal itself, you're talking about

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a honey badger type situation where it's a little different

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 2>from a standard badger. But screw loose maybe like a

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 2>we keep saying screw loose but your nickelback on defense,

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 2>or a gadget type player on offense where you don't

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>want to assign too much to this player because they're

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>untrustworthy and a little bit wild, but end arounds options.

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you're talking about heavy hitters right here, So

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I would I'd go with that.

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Would an actual alligator have been on the four deep

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Florida Gators roster at quarterback this year this previous.

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Year as the arms has the arms that hurts? I

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 2>would go, Man, I don't know, I'm looking that there's

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 2>so many all animals.

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's uh, let's move on to a different question.

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Next question, Ty, that was a fun little from.

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>A little nugget.

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Well exit, is Oklahoma gonna win a championship? In John

0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Christopher McDaniel's lifetime, still reallying that Baker Mayfield couldn't pull

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it off. Yeah, I'm gonna say yes. Hi, I think

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say yes. They are a program and

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:27.760
<v Speaker 2>a Power five conference that is the program that everybody

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 2>else has to go through.

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, agreed. And the other thing I'd add is that

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 1>since they are already one of the elite college football institutions,

0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Riley being there mm hmm unless something goes terribly

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>wrong there, there aren't a whole lot of rungs above

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.919
<v Speaker 1>him in the college game. Now. I could see him,

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>because he's so young, being someone that the NFL talks

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to at some point, and I think that's that's the

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:02.879
<v Speaker 1>real threat with Lincoln Riley. But beyond that, I think

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be there for quite some time before

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that eventually happens, and should have coaching continuity. It's never

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.320
<v Speaker 1>really a problem to get talent to go to Oklahoma,

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 1>especially the way they keep winning, So the odds are

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>more in your favor than a lot of other schools

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say Oklahoma will They've been to the

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 2>playoff what twice?

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Twice?

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, already in the young playoff lifespan and Oklahoma also

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 2>has the infrastructure in terms of budget and what they've

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 2>poured into the program. They've got a great stadium atmosphere.

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 2>They're going to keep recruiting quarterbacks because of quarterback tradition,

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:40.719
<v Speaker 2>and if you've paid attention to draft stuff at all,

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 2>there is at least something right now. And then this

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:46.919
<v Speaker 2>speaks to what you said about the appetite for more

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:51.400
<v Speaker 2>creative offenses, perhaps influenced by what the college offenses have

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 2>looked like recently and what you know. Sean McVay asked

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield to explain if you read that. I think

0:35:56.080 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it was Robert Klemcoe somebody it was THEMMQB wrote it,

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 2>thing about Baker Mayfield and the draft process, and with

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:10.239
<v Speaker 2>what Philly obviously succeeded doing and Kansas City succeeded doing that,

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 2>there is this appetite for creative offensive minds, and at

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the college level right now with their current team, I'm

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 2>not sure that there is somebody more well regarded in

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>that way than how people feel about Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma.

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 2>So you have that combination Oklahoma, I would say within

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the next I don't know, six, eight, ten years, they

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.319
<v Speaker 2>should win if he's there, absolutely.

0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's do one question, one more question, then

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get to some additional picks here. I

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 1>like this question, Dan. This one comes to us from

0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 1>our friend Dylan. He says, I spent my morning running

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 1>around New York looking for a quiet place with good

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>reception for a phone interview. If your home residence has

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 1>poor reception, what is the best look for a phone interview? Dan? Well,

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:04.919
<v Speaker 1>first of all, very timely question here.

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 2>That's true. First of all, why can't you use Wi

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Fi calling?

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you have Wi Fi calling?

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I have Wi Fi calling on my phone, but hypothetically,

0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 1>let's say the Wi Fi is broken.

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>You can know receptathetically.

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 1>You're living in like a steel trap. You can't get

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 1>anything in or out. You got to go out on

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the town and find somewhere to do a phone interview.

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Where where are you going? First?

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Uh, probably a park. There's enough tree cover, and you

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 2>know there are enough parks in New York during the

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:38.359
<v Speaker 2>day that you're not going to be right on top

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of traffic. You can probably find a nook, you can

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 2>probably find a bench. And there is something about living

0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in New York where people just understand there are so

0:37:47.560 --> 0:37:50.320
<v Speaker 2>many people, it's going to get a little bit noisy.

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 2>And as long as you have, you know, you carve

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 2>out a tree, a nook or whatever for yourself within

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 2>said park, and the weather's not terrible, I think you're fine.

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I would go to a park, but I

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:05.000
<v Speaker 2>would I would investigate Wi Fi calling.

0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The only risk is sirens in the city.

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>That's true theirs.

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, And it's not so much that the people

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>on the other end are going to dock you at

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 1>all for that. But I could see if you're the

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:21.320
<v Speaker 1>interviewee potentially being knocked a bit off your game. A loud,

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 1>sudden sound could could potentially derail you a little bit. Yeah.

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:29.480
<v Speaker 1>The coffee shop comes to mind, however, only if you

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.600
<v Speaker 1>can get like the back booth at a Starbucks, if

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>you can get away from wherever people are coming and going,

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that's your best bet if you choose to go to

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 1>a place like that.

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 2>My other suggestion would be, ty, are you familiar with

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 2>we work? Yeah, so at some we work locations if

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you can sort of identify where they are within New

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:55.440
<v Speaker 2>York and whatever cities. But he's in New York specifically.

0:38:56.120 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 2>You walk in and there is a lobby of sorts,

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 2>and in that lobby or in that sort of gathering area,

0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 2>there's some tables and coffee machines whatever. You have to

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 2>use a card pass to to sort of scan yourself

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>into the general area. But within that lobby there are

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 2>some phone rooms, there are some little booths there. So

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 2>if you know somebody who works out of a WE work,

0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and I imagine if you're in New York and emailing

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:26.879
<v Speaker 2>a podcast, there's a.

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Very good chance, it's a pretty good chance, yeah, that.

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:31.560
<v Speaker 2>You have a connection to somebody that works at a

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:34.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of micro startup that might be renting space at

0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 2>a WE work and they can let you in, or

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 2>they or you just sort of figure out where WE

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:41.719
<v Speaker 2>work is and you just go and if you can

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 2>get in, that would be my tip.

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's a sneaky answer. And then I promise we're going

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to pick some games. Yeah, find a department store. That's

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.319
<v Speaker 1>not bad. Find a department store and walk around like

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the men's clothing section. You're not going to get an echo.

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 1>For the most part. It's a quiet setting in.

0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 2>The middle of the day, not a lot of people there.

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Middle of the day, not a lot of people there.

0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you can get away with it.

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think sound will travel that well, because it'll

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and that's a good thing, because it'll the.

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Clos dead, the same reason we tell people to record

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:17.879
<v Speaker 1>a podcast in like a walking closet. Sure deadens the sound.

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:21.760
<v Speaker 1>No echo, probably not much commotion. I think that's a sleeper.

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:24.800
<v Speaker 2>That's a good idea tie. Look at you coming.

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Through, Thank you, thank you.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I want I advocate for trespassing, which I guess you

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:31.359
<v Speaker 2>sort of do, right, So you might have to buy

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 2>a tie or something. Buy a soft drink. Okay, yeah,

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 2>hold you know what you do, hold a tie in

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 2>your hand as if you are. I'm definitely buying this tie.

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I just walking around making this call, and then I'm

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna buy the tie.

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 1>There you go. So yeah, all right, let's move on

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to I think we nailed that tie. Thank you. The

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:49.240
<v Speaker 1>East region.

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 2>M hm.

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Your number one seat in the East is Villanova. Your

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:56.360
<v Speaker 1>number two is Perdue. We got Texas Tech, Wichita State,

0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia, Florida also in the same bracket. Okay, I

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:03.120
<v Speaker 1>got problems in this one.

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 2>So there's a playing game against Villanova l Brooklyn, which

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 2>is not far from me and d Radford.

0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Radford excuse me.

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Radner, I think was on How I Met Your Mother?

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Bradner's down by Philly.

0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, God, would I rather eat in Brooklyn or Philly.

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:27.800
<v Speaker 2>It's the uncertainty. I'm gonna go with Philly and Villanova. Okay,

0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I assume you're going there as well.

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Gotta go, Yeah, I gotta go Nova. Virginia Tech against Alabama.

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Classic college football matchup here. This is true.

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they opened the season in like a Chick

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 2>fil A kickoff a little bit ago. I would rather

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:44.439
<v Speaker 2>eat Blacksburg or Tuscalosa. I'm gonna go with Tea Town.

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I think Virginia Tech gets revenge here. Really, I'm gonna

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 2>go Tech. Yeah, buzz Williams and Tech. Alabama has a

0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 2>star in Colin Sexton. He almost single handedly won a

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:56.839
<v Speaker 2>three on five game. Remember that game. Yeah, I'm gonna

0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 2>go with Colin Sexton and tuscal LUSA.

0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Eats West Virginia against Murray State.

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Who tutors Biscuits. Give me the Mountaineers.

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia plays tenacious defense, they do. We're gonna go

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.800
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia. Wichita State against Mashall.

0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I've heard underrated things about Wichita as a city, which

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 2>makes me think that there's some good eating. I'm going Wichita.

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, you could set up the All West Virginia matchup

0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>between the Mountaineers and the Thundering Herd here if you

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>went thirteen over a four. H I'm a sucker for Wichita.

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm going number four Wichita. Okay, here is where I

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 1>have the problems. Okay, A, We've got the number six

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 1>seed Florida, which I already said previously. I love the

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>number six seed all the time. And then there's a

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 1>play in game. For some odd reason, I read man,

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I read an article many moons ago that was trumpeting

0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Saint Bonaventure.

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.839
<v Speaker 2>I think Nicole Auerbacker pal lovest the Bonnies of Saint Bonaventrics.

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I love the sixth seed and I love Saint Bonaventure. Dan.

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 1>So now I guess I will get a chance to

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:10.840
<v Speaker 1>like see which way this one's gonna go, or I

0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:12.799
<v Speaker 1>can get a better idea of which way this thing's

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna go after the actual playing game. Mm hmm. But

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 1>if we assume Saint Bonaventure, that puts me in a

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>bit of a bind having a pick between the two

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.120
<v Speaker 1>of them, Florida against Saint Bonnie.

0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So where are you gonna go, really really dig deep

0:43:33.080 --> 0:43:33.800
<v Speaker 2>into your I'm gonna go.

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go St. Bonaventure. Okay, I'm gonna go Saint Bonaventure.

0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna go Uclaver Florida. I'd much rather eating

0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:43.480
<v Speaker 2>West Weather ch Mouth, rather eat at a Dedie Reese

0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 2>or Dan Morey's. Yeah, give me the Bruins here over

0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Florida and over Sat Bonnie's.

0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it Ucla?

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ucla is playing Saint Bonaventure.

0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh crap, uh, I'm still gonna go Saint Bonaventure.

0:43:57.320 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 2>That's fine with your heart.

0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>A classic showdown between Texas Tech and Steve and f

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Austin was Stephen F. Austin, a team that like two

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:09.160
<v Speaker 1>years ago had all seniors and they were very good.

0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>They had like one loss.

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they had Brad Underwood, I want to say, and

0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 2>now he's at Illinois. They had a super good coach. Okay,

0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:20.000
<v Speaker 2>so they and they won a game. I think they

0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 2>upset somebody in the first round that year.

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And actually, unlike Texas Tech on the football field, this

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech plays pretty good defense. You're number three in

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the nation according to Kent pom So. I guess I

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:34.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta go Texas Tech here because of defense.

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna go Tech here as well.

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas against Butler, I gotta go Butler. Butler's just got

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the pedigree in the tournament.

0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Did they. I think they just lost their coach to

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody recently, which worries me a little bit. But I'm

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna go Butler as well.

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Purdue against cal State Fullerton? Are they still the dirt bags?

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Cal State Fullerton?

0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a nickname for their baseball teach. Okay,

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I think they have an official I think they're the Titans. Okay,

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, Actually, I don't think full is

0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Is it Fullerton that's the dirt Beggs or is it

0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Long Beach State?

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Long Beach State? Yeah?

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Okay, I'm gonna go Fullerton's not bad. Purdue eating

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 2>is not great. I've been to I've been to the

0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:00.839
<v Speaker 2>there's some complication with alib Obama. I want to say

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Matt Painter is still there. So yeah,

0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Purdue.

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I go Villanova over Wichita in my bracket.

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel as if Villanova always loses, other than the

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:35.960
<v Speaker 2>one time they didn't always lose. So I'm going Wichita.

0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Here all right, and then I'm gonna go Purdue over

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Saint Bonnie. The run ends in the sweet sixteen.

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Purdue over Wichita.

0:46:45.160 --> 0:46:48.879
<v Speaker 1>And I am gonna go Purdue over Villanova. Okay, into

0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the final four, which brings us Midwest, brings us to

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 1>our final bracket. Here we've got Kansas against the number

0:46:56.760 --> 0:47:00.920
<v Speaker 1>sixteen seed Pen another Philly school with a good eating situation, Dan.

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Ty give me the Quakers. WHOA give me the Quakers?

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Sooner or later it's gonna happen, right.

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I like Philly. We talk about Ivy League football within

0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:20.279
<v Speaker 2>the context of Patriot League football. Kansas is untrustworthy in

0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 2>this tournament year over year over year. Agreed, agreed, give

0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 2>me the Quakers. That's a bold play, Dan, love them.

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Come on, Tye.

0:47:29.480 --> 0:47:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Penn is seventy third in the nation in defense and

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:35.840
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifth in the nation in adjusted offense.

0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:39.279
<v Speaker 2>All it takes is one day, ty all takes is

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 2>one day.

0:47:40.520 --> 0:47:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Does it matter to you at all that they lost

0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:47.759
<v Speaker 1>to Villanova by twenty eight, to Temple by nine, and

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Toledo by thirteen.

0:47:49.440 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 2>So there's something smart about Penn to me that says

0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:57.040
<v Speaker 2>they're not showing all of their cards during the regular season. Tye, Okay,

0:47:57.480 --> 0:48:01.239
<v Speaker 2>there's a hidden element to the Quaker ball that they're

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:03.920
<v Speaker 2>not showing to the Temples, to the Villanova's of the world.

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever Have you ever gone to the first

0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:09.160
<v Speaker 1>round of the NCAA tournament anywhere?

0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:13.359
<v Speaker 2>I have, and it was incredible slash exhausting. I went

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>in Boise, Idaho.

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is a long day, It's an exhausting day,

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.120
<v Speaker 1>but I was, I believe. Back in two thousand and six,

0:48:20.160 --> 0:48:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that was the year that George Mason went to the

0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Final four and caused of bi Rucas with Jim Laira Naga,

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:30.400
<v Speaker 1>some friends and I were down at the arena in

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Philly to watch first round games and at the time,

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it was I want to say Albany, Albany or Monmouth

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those schools against Yukon, and Yukon was universally

0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:47.400
<v Speaker 1>number one seed. They were incredible. But whoever they were playing,

0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Albany. They're hanging around and we

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:53.040
<v Speaker 1>had no intention of going to that game. We actually

0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:56.759
<v Speaker 1>were at the bar watching on TV. We saw that

0:48:56.800 --> 0:48:59.799
<v Speaker 1>it was close. After halftime, we quick hopped in the

0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 1>soay to get back to the stadium nice and it

0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:06.720
<v Speaker 1>ended up being a relatively close game by one versus

0:49:06.719 --> 0:49:10.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen standards, but ultimately Yukon did win that game. So

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll say this, I hope You're right, because when a

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 1>sixteen is on the verge or at least challenging a

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>number one seed in the NCAA tournament, the atmosphere in

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the room is incredible.

0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Is I believe it?

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Truly?

0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Have you been to the Palastra? I've been to the Pleustra? Yeah,

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I never have. I would love to awesome setting for

0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:34.840
<v Speaker 2>awesome setting for a game. So yeah, I'm rooting for Penn,

0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:37.719
<v Speaker 2>but I gotta go with I gotta go with Kansas here.

0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I also make my picks based on which team's most

0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:45.200
<v Speaker 2>sound like office supplies, okay, and so you have to

0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 2>go Pen. You have to go Pen in that situation.

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I also would rather eat in Philly than Lawrence Kansas,

0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Seaton Hall, n C State. I'm going n C State,

0:49:55.200 --> 0:49:58.879

<v Speaker 1>Right, TCU versus the winner of Arizona State and Syracuse.

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I am picking whoever wins that playing game over TCU.

<v Speaker 2>I'm going with TCU. I think I'm gonna I'm gonna trus.

0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Dixon's there, right, yep. And one of those situations where, hey,

0:50:52.719 --> 0:50:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Pitt was always pretty good with Jamie Dixon, and I

0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:59.120
<v Speaker 2>learned this last week, Tie, and it is so funny

0:50:59.120 --> 0:51:03.160
<v Speaker 2>to me. Somehow Pitt went eighteen in the acies.

0:51:03.360 --> 0:51:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was bad. It was very bad.

0:51:06.000 --> 0:51:07.080
<v Speaker 2>How do you do that?

0:51:07.400 --> 0:51:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Very bad? Yeah?

0:51:08.239 --> 0:51:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, it was so funny. I apologize secretly,

0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:15.279
<v Speaker 2>decent Pitt fans, you deserve so much better. But I'd

0:51:15.360 --> 0:51:19.320
<v Speaker 2>rather eaten fort Worth. And I'd also I just respect

0:51:19.360 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Dixon as a coach. The job he's done there

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:21.879
<v Speaker 2>seems good.

0:51:21.960 --> 0:51:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So we go Dan. Here we go Michigan State against

0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 1>buck Nell. Gotta go on, Nelly, don't you.

0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:34.759
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people shout out Louisbourg. There's a

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:37.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who look at Michigan State in a

0:51:37.719 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 2>bracket and they think to themselves, tom izz Owen Marsh,

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 2>that's just how I'm going to roll. But those people

0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:48.200
<v Speaker 2>underestimate something very specific, and.

0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 1>That is.

0:51:50.680 --> 0:52:01.440
<v Speaker 2>That big, wobbling, sweaty, pulsating, penetrating I'm going buck now,

0:52:01.480 --> 0:52:03.840
<v Speaker 2>baby wow, give me the Bison.

0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>A special off season edition of The Drum and Fife.

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't say that I'd rather eat in Louisbourg than

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:13.319
<v Speaker 2>East Lansing, but I haven't eaten in either place, and

0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know anything about Louisbourg or East Lancing food,

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 2>so that's sort of a wash for me. And I'm

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:19.359
<v Speaker 2>just going with the big staggy Drummond.

0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Five Rhode Island against Oklahoma, a seven versus a ten matchup.

0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:24.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I'm going Michigan State. You know my

0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:25.560
<v Speaker 1>start's on buck now.

0:52:25.960 --> 0:52:26.480
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Now, I haven't watched a whole lot of college basketball

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:32.239
<v Speaker 1>this year, Dan. I did read a little bit on it,

0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:35.319
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit here and there in passing And

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is it true what the Internet tells me that ESPN

0:52:38.160 --> 0:52:38.960
<v Speaker 1>killed Trey Young?

0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Supposedly they kept watching him still.

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't understand by that.

0:52:44.160 --> 0:52:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean YouTube videos.

0:52:45.880 --> 0:52:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Right, of course, I'm gonna go Oklahoma here.

0:52:50.640 --> 0:52:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think Rhode Island is coached by a Hurley. Yeah,

0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:59.520
<v Speaker 2>not Bobby Butt, like a Dan or Danny Hurley. I

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:03.040
<v Speaker 2>have not eaten in Norman. I have eaten in Rhode Island,

0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:05.359
<v Speaker 2>had a couple of very good clamshacks. So I'm gonna

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:06.200
<v Speaker 2>go Rhode Island here.

0:53:06.280 --> 0:53:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And then that brings us to the final game of

0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:10.719
<v Speaker 1>the first round, Duke against Iona. I already said, I

0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 1>tiped my hand that I'm going to go Duke to

0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:15.319
<v Speaker 1>win it, all right, So I'm gonna go Duke here

0:53:15.320 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>over Iona.

0:53:16.920 --> 0:53:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Iona is just north of New York City, I.

0:53:20.480 --> 0:53:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Believe, Yes, I believe. So yeah.

0:53:23.120 --> 0:53:25.239
<v Speaker 2>It looks like it's a new Rochelle so sort of

0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the Hudson Valley or maybe closer to Connecticut. I don't know,

0:53:29.880 --> 0:53:32.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, I'm gonna go with Duke. Have you

0:53:32.120 --> 0:53:33.480
<v Speaker 2>ever been to cookout? Tie?

0:53:34.120 --> 0:53:34.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I have not.

0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, cookout is so good. I've been to a cookout,

0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the one cookout I've been to. Maybe I've been to two,

0:53:40.200 --> 0:53:43.839
<v Speaker 2>but one of them was in Durham and I was

0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:45.960
<v Speaker 2>super hungry. And I think this was after I went

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:47.960
<v Speaker 2>to a Duke North Carolina game that I was covering

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:49.879
<v Speaker 2>for SI, way back when this would have been two

0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:55.160
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eight nine, somewhere in there, and I went

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to Cookout starving, and a friend told me they have

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:00.799
<v Speaker 2>like a thousand different kinds of milk shakes, and I

0:54:00.840 --> 0:54:03.080
<v Speaker 2>said that's not possible. And I got there and they

0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:06.319
<v Speaker 2>had like a thousand different kinds of milkshakes, and I

0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:08.759
<v Speaker 2>was starving, and I wanted a milkshake and everything I

0:54:08.760 --> 0:54:11.960
<v Speaker 2>guess comes with hushpuppies, which I still claim totally not

0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:14.400
<v Speaker 2>worth anybody's time anywhere. Hushpuppies.

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, But I heard like a burger.

0:54:17.440 --> 0:54:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And chicken tenders and fry like, I heard a lot

0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:23.920
<v Speaker 2>of food tie and like a black chocolate cherry milkshake,

0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:28.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was like three seventy nine. It was so

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:32.279
<v Speaker 2>inexpensive and it was so good. So I still have

0:54:32.440 --> 0:54:34.640
<v Speaker 2>very fond things and thoughts about Cookout, even though I

0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:37.200
<v Speaker 2>haven't been in like ten years. So I'm going with

0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with Duke here for Cookout being the most

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:43.080
<v Speaker 2>likable thing related to Duke basketball.

0:54:43.320 --> 0:54:47.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm going Kansas over NC State. Now, you

0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't pick Kansas. You had Pin that's true. So and

0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you had Seaton Hall. So does this mean you're gonna

0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 1>go Seaton Hall here? You're gonna go Pin through the

0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>sweet sixteen?

0:54:56.160 --> 0:55:00.320
<v Speaker 2>My dad went to what was then the New Jersey

0:55:00.400 --> 0:55:03.160
<v Speaker 2>School of Medicine, and I think it became the Seaton

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Hall School of Medicine. So I do have that personal connection.

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with Seaton Hall all right.

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got Kansas going through. I've got Clemson over Auburn

0:55:12.160 --> 0:55:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Dan another rematch from an early season matchup in college

0:55:15.680 --> 0:55:17.920
<v Speaker 1>football from this past season, and what is it?

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:19.800
<v Speaker 2>You know Clemson is Auburn with the Lake. Isn't that

0:55:19.840 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 2>what something? Whoops? I'm gonna go with Clemson as well.

0:55:25.520 --> 0:55:31.080
<v Speaker 1>We've got Michigan State against either ASU or Syracuse. I'm

0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna go h Tom Mizzle here.

0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Who did I take in that game? You had a TCU,

0:55:38.840 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna go TCU over Buck now here.

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And then I've got Duke over Oklahoma.

0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I have Duke over Rhode Island.

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got Duke and Clemson in my Elite eight.

0:55:52.960 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I will go so I have TCO over Buck now

0:55:57.120 --> 0:56:00.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to go so TCU do Duke. I'm

0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:01.719
<v Speaker 2>going to go Duke there.

0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:05.359
<v Speaker 1>And then I've got Duke in my final four.

0:56:06.480 --> 0:56:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So I will have let's see, I have Seaton Hall Clemson.

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go Clemson. I'm gonna go Duke over Clemson.

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll have Duke in my final four. It hurts, but

0:56:14.960 --> 0:56:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with that.

0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:17.879
<v Speaker 1>All right. So here we go my final four. I've

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:20.440
<v Speaker 1>got Uva against Michigan. I'm going to go Michigan. Here,

0:56:20.560 --> 0:56:23.200
<v Speaker 1>give me the Wolvericks. And on the other side, I've

0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:27.400
<v Speaker 1>got two number two's. I've got Perdue and Duke, and

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go Duke. And eventually I've got Duke

0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:32.399
<v Speaker 1>over Michigan in the National Championship eighty three seventy eights.

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:39.680
<v Speaker 2>My final so I have Arizona Houston, Duke Perdue. Okay,

0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go Duke over Perdue. I'm going to

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:50.239
<v Speaker 2>do Arizona over Houston. Mom went to Arizona. Yeah, so

0:56:50.400 --> 0:56:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Duke Arizona, which, by the way, sounds like a wonderful

0:56:54.440 --> 0:56:55.239
<v Speaker 2>porn star's name.

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:56:57.400 --> 0:57:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go DeAndre and the Arizona Wildcats.

0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Say hello to the bad guy.

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely all right, I've eaten well in Tucson. My mom

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:13.600
<v Speaker 2>is a wildcat. I just DeAndre Ayton might be the

0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:15.879
<v Speaker 2>best player in this tournament. And I say might be

0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:18.800
<v Speaker 2>because he is one of eleven players I've seen in

0:57:18.840 --> 0:57:23.200
<v Speaker 2>this tournament, So he might be, and I feel confident.

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:23.840
<v Speaker 2>How about that.

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget to get in on the solid verbal bracket pool.

0:57:26.520 --> 0:57:30.320
<v Speaker 1>We've got links posted everywhere. Thank you for hanging with

0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:33.960
<v Speaker 1>us as we picked our games. Here. Let me ask

0:57:34.000 --> 0:57:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a question before we address a few other ones. We've

0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:38.280
<v Speaker 1>got time for, yes, a few short ones, but.

0:57:38.480 --> 0:57:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever done anything extra special for like the

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:44.040
<v Speaker 1>first round of the NCAA tournament.

0:57:45.600 --> 0:57:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Generally it's either been watching at work, taking the day off.

0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I remember in college I didn't go to classes, or

0:57:53.320 --> 0:57:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I actually went to the tournament itself. So generally, it's

0:57:57.880 --> 0:58:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just it's focus, it's good eating, it's hanging out with friends.

0:58:01.040 --> 0:58:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It's always been a de facto holiday for me. And

0:58:04.520 --> 0:58:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned the super secret basketball pool that I run.

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I started this pull back in nineteen ninety eight in

0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a class in a math class in sixth period. I'll

0:58:14.240 --> 0:58:16.880
<v Speaker 1>never forget it, and some friends and I had the

0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:18.600
<v Speaker 1>idea to start this up, and it was going to

0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 1>be like five bucks an entry, right, You're not supposed

0:58:21.440 --> 0:58:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to do that in school. And my math teacher at

0:58:25.080 --> 0:58:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the time caught me collecting collecting money, called me up

0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to the front of the class and wanted to speak

0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to me.

0:58:30.080 --> 0:58:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you can you please tell me that your teacher

0:58:32.040 --> 0:58:32.960
<v Speaker 2>wanted in on this pool.

0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:37.040
<v Speaker 1>My teacher wanted in on the pool. It's wonderful. My

0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:38.920
<v Speaker 1>teacher calls me to the front of the class. I

0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:41.960
<v Speaker 1>thought I had been busted. Mm hmm, and he sort

0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of talks in a hush tone, saying, how much is

0:58:44.920 --> 0:58:47.880
<v Speaker 1>it per entry? What are we talking? Fifty? Hondout? He

0:58:47.920 --> 0:58:49.720
<v Speaker 1>flipped me a ten. He had two entries in and

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:52.000
<v Speaker 1>then on top of it, because he knew that somebody

0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:55.880
<v Speaker 1>in the class had entries in this basketball pool, he

0:58:55.920 --> 0:58:58.840
<v Speaker 1>wheeled in. Remember those old tube TVs that we had,

0:58:58.880 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, thing is on like the back of a truck.

0:59:01.640 --> 0:59:05.600
<v Speaker 1>He wheeled this ty Yeah, he wheeled it in. He

0:59:05.680 --> 0:59:08.440
<v Speaker 1>plugged it in, he started it up, tuned it into

0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:12.160
<v Speaker 1>CBS and said, just humor me every now and again

0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and look up, act like you're paying attention. But I

0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:17.480
<v Speaker 1>don't care if you watch the games. That was the

0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:19.440
<v Speaker 1>first year of this basketball pool that I run, so

0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been running it ever since. The only other Opening

0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Day of March Madness story that I can tell a

0:59:26.200 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 1>side of that and actually going to the games back

0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.439
<v Speaker 1>in oh six, which I've done a bunch of times

0:59:30.480 --> 0:59:33.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way round in Philly. I did do the

0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:36.680
<v Speaker 1>thing once where I went out to Vegas for the

0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:40.680
<v Speaker 1>first in tournament. It was an interesting experience.

0:59:41.080 --> 0:59:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be overwhelming.

0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:45.439
<v Speaker 1>It was overwhelming. My friends and I weren't rich enough

0:59:45.440 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>at the time to stay at Caesar's where they have

0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 1>all the TVs. Obviously, there are a bunch of places

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that do, but Caesar's was the closest to us and

0:59:52.360 --> 0:59:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't afford to stay there, so we stayed elsewhere,

0:59:55.800 --> 0:59:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and we pulled the move where I don't know if

0:59:57.400 --> 1:00:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it's still configured like this, but we played quino all

1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>day because they the Keynot Room was adjacent to where

1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>they have the four big TVs and caesar Sports Book,

1:00:08.520 --> 1:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and so we would play kino all day, win every

1:00:11.400 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>now and again. But as long as you're playing, you

1:00:13.000 --> 1:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>have a seat.

1:00:13.920 --> 1:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm.

1:00:14.880 --> 1:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>We sat in the Keno Room and we watch college

1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>basketball many many moons ago.

1:00:18.600 --> 1:00:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, I don't have stories beyond that. Yeah,

1:00:23.120 --> 1:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>let's see. I've run pools in the past, both school

1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and work. The only pool I'm going to be in

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>this year is the solid verbal pool. So you're getting

1:00:30.600 --> 1:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the best of my picks. And I mean, this is

1:00:34.040 --> 1:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the worst of my picks on this show, but I

1:00:37.320 --> 1:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like I'm going to do better than somebody with

1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the where I'd rather eat pool.

1:00:42.320 --> 1:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's what my people are going to hate this show.

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Where are you gonna what are you gonna eat for

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the first day?

1:00:48.560 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Good question? Good question?

1:00:50.880 --> 1:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Did Philly cheese steaks at work a couple of years.

1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Ago and that was nice? M Okay, you know what

1:00:57.440 --> 1:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna doing? I don't know.

1:01:00.040 --> 1:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you check out pizza nearby?

1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll tweet it. Let's do. Let's do a couple questions

1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>here before we go.

1:01:06.720 --> 1:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Our pal Peter rank sporting events by background noise slash,

1:01:09.760 --> 1:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>ability to have on at all times and get into

1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>it no matter when. So to me, this is every

1:01:15.280 --> 1:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>sport with college football, and like the NBA Finals, they're

1:01:19.800 --> 1:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the only really sports. And I guess the World Series

1:01:22.520 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>if I have, like I was paying close attention with

1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>this past year with the Dodgers. But in terms of

1:01:27.560 --> 1:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>non championship level sports, I love casually ignoring baseball games.

1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I love casually you know, looking at my laptop and

1:01:38.640 --> 1:01:40.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, having the Olympics onto the background, or the

1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>World Cup or Saturday Morning EPL, I think is fantastic

1:01:43.520 --> 1:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>because you hear through the announcers, especially the British announcers,

1:01:47.160 --> 1:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that rising tone. Yes, so they're there. There are good

1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>signals with Saturday Morning EPL. Make some coffee, have some breakfast,

1:01:55.880 --> 1:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you're on your computer, catching up on whatever on the couch,

1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>so EP is up there for me. But the tournament

1:02:01.800 --> 1:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>is really good because the games are quick enough that

1:02:06.240 --> 1:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>there's always sort of action every few minutes, like oh

1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Greensboro. Oh let's go to Spokane, Oh

1:02:12.000 --> 1:02:14.440
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Anaheim, Oh let's go to Austin or whatever,

1:02:15.360 --> 1:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>where you don't have to be constantly there. But through

1:02:20.720 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>like the tones of broadcasters, you get good clues. So

1:02:26.120 --> 1:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>that to me is I think the tournament's up there.

1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>The Masters is great.

1:02:30.600 --> 1:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>The Masters is up there. Baseball, I think is the

1:02:32.760 --> 1:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>obvious answer.

1:02:34.720 --> 1:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Baseball is my number one NAP sport. Baseball over golf for.

1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Napping baseball is a good answer here. What I would say, though,

1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be internacial about it, Dan, and

1:02:45.600 --> 1:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned the Olympics, like if we lived in Norway,

1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>where obviously sports like cross country skiing and some other

1:02:54.240 --> 1:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>winter sports are a little bit more prominent. Did you

1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>hear any of the commentary for the cross country skis

1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>events at the Olympics?

1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Were they all in?

1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's very intense. I love that very intense. If the

1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that NBC hired to commentate it can get that

1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>into it. My hunch is that whoever Norway has calling

1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it is pretty damn into it too. True, So are

1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you My international answer would be cross country?

1:03:22.080 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>So good Internet. Are you more of a golfer a

1:03:24.880 --> 1:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>baseball napper?

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Probably?

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Baseball baseball is almost a podcast baseball commentary because it's

1:03:31.600 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>just like fun fact about Brett Johnson in high school

1:03:35.560 --> 1:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>was in the drama club and it says here was

1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>in a performance of Chicago. He was the hello filler

1:03:41.760 --> 1:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>on the roof? How about right there? It's just like this,

1:03:44.720 --> 1:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it's story time. It makes for such a good natural nap.

1:03:48.440 --> 1:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>And I grew up with Vin Scully and so you're

1:03:50.720 --> 1:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>topping talking top of the top NAP narrators. It was

1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>it was a base Sunday Avenue baseball nap to me

1:03:57.960 --> 1:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>is just unmatched. On where we go next, Let's go

1:04:02.560 --> 1:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to Kelly. This question comes to us from Kelly Hitchcock

1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>on Reddit, who is from Kansas City, is a Kansas

1:04:08.200 --> 1:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>State fan who lives in Austin. Had a couple questions

1:04:10.840 --> 1:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>about are we doing anything for south By this year?

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>We've done it in the past. Are you doing anything

1:04:16.360 --> 1:04:19.280
<v Speaker 2>this year? Ty, I can tell you we're not. Nope,

1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>because you're in Pennsylvania. I am in Brooklyn as we

1:04:22.920 --> 1:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>are recording this in south By is happening and happened

1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>some last week. South By Southwest is It's a fun

1:04:29.800 --> 1:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>place to see people you like and haven't seen in

1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>a long time, and there are a few interesting talks

1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:40.160
<v Speaker 2>and roundtables and panels and stuff like that. But if

1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>you like Austin, which I imagine if Kelly's living there,

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>south By is not a good time to go to Austin.

1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>It makes you appreciate the rest of the weeks of

1:04:49.520 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the year in Austin. So we are not doing anything

1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>there this year, but good people, fun times. When we've

1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:58.840
<v Speaker 2>done it, and what is it you like about where

1:04:58.840 --> 1:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you live now because you don't have to deal with

1:05:01.840 --> 1:05:05.520
<v Speaker 2>something you didn't enjoy from quote back home. Tough question

1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:09.840
<v Speaker 2>for you, tough question for me living with general vicinity. Yeah,

1:05:10.120 --> 1:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I can answer this. I can answer that question. I'm

1:05:12.120 --> 1:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>sure the area has changed some too.

1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>The area has changed a lot.

1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Actually the area is a lot more built up now

1:05:18.360 --> 1:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>than it was when I was living quote unquote back home.

1:05:24.000 --> 1:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot more to do now than there

1:05:25.600 --> 1:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>was when I was in high school. The obvious answer

1:05:28.640 --> 1:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>for me is Wegmans right now. I mean, let's be

1:05:31.880 --> 1:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>real about this. I can walk to Wegmans in a

1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>matter of minutes from my front door. That to me,

1:05:39.120 --> 1:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't do that back.

1:05:41.880 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I think there's opening in Brooklyn at some point.

1:05:44.480 --> 1:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh Dan, do it get on that?

1:05:47.040 --> 1:05:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's they're putting it in. I think the Navy Yard,

1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>which is sort of a no man's land in terms

1:05:52.160 --> 1:05:54.840
<v Speaker 2>of public transportation, which is fine. You can still get there.

1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>You have to rent a car or whatever, long walk

1:05:56.800 --> 1:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>from the train. I'm very excited to go. Yes, my

1:06:01.480 --> 1:06:06.360
<v Speaker 2>answer is not driving slash, not parking coming from LA

1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and sitting in traffic and even getting somewhere and then

1:06:09.240 --> 1:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>having to spend another ten or fifteen minutes looking for

1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a spot, because ty, I do not make enough money,

1:06:14.280 --> 1:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>especially now to live that valet life. I just don't,

1:06:17.920 --> 1:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>so don't. I like public transportation a whole lot. It

1:06:21.640 --> 1:06:23.840
<v Speaker 2>gets you places efficiently for the most part. I know

1:06:23.880 --> 1:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the MTA is pretty bad, but for the most part

1:06:26.000 --> 1:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty efficient. Hated parking. I hated everything like that.

1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:32.840
<v Speaker 2>So that I mean, I drove a little bit. Last week.

1:06:33.360 --> 1:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I went and saw a friend in a different state

1:06:35.520 --> 1:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and rented a car, and even that it was fine.

1:06:39.320 --> 1:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>And I do very annoying things. And when I'm alone

1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>in a car. Have I done this with you? Have

1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I done the FM game with you?

1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, we've played that game before.

1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's some people like you appreciate that I do.

1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Jody with an Eye does not like that.

1:06:52.960 --> 1:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I can understand where she's coming from. That's a very

1:06:55.840 --> 1:06:57.439
<v Speaker 1>dorky sports media thing there.

1:06:57.840 --> 1:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So that's introducing songs as they come on the radio,

1:07:00.360 --> 1:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is if you were an FMDJ, not unlike my serious

1:07:03.080 --> 1:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>XM game previews during the during the August time. So uh,

1:07:08.240 --> 1:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that's that's our answer, all right.

1:07:10.120 --> 1:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And the final question here Meg do Meg? Come on?

1:07:14.520 --> 1:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Megan says, how do I get a boyfriend? That is

1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a loaded question, Meg. Okay, I'm assuming we can call

1:07:21.640 --> 1:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>her Meg, and that's not being disrespectful.

1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>No, let's I don't know. She either went to Auburn

1:07:27.320 --> 1:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>as an Auburn fan whatever, and somebody else asked how

1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>do find somebody to date if you're anti social? So

1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>we can sort of encapsulate.

1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>This is a very broad question though, Meg, like bring

1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>me a rock. You know. It's we can only do

1:07:41.760 --> 1:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>so much with a question like this.

1:07:43.200 --> 1:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>But is there a location on her on her Twitter accounts?

1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. Don't think that changes my answer necessarily.

1:07:49.520 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't.

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see the planes. And she's a mod at

1:07:54.200 --> 1:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Redditt CFB the college football which is fantastic.

1:07:57.720 --> 1:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Right uh oo? Okay, so I think first and foremost.

1:08:05.560 --> 1:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>In Kansas City, So it seems like you either in

1:08:08.960 --> 1:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Auburn or from Kansas City or went to Auburn whatever,

1:08:11.680 --> 1:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>So not too different.

1:08:13.000 --> 1:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the first thing that I would posit here

1:08:16.160 --> 1:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>is don't worry about asking the question about how to

1:08:19.600 --> 1:08:23.519
<v Speaker 1>get a boyfriend. H don't like, don't don't psych yourself

1:08:23.560 --> 1:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>out about that. Okay, you know, don't think too much

1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>about that and just be yourself and just by being yourself,

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>eventually you'll attract that other positive energy. See what I'm

1:08:33.880 --> 1:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>going with that.

1:08:34.840 --> 1:08:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's get more specific, Ti.

1:08:37.080 --> 1:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So beyond that, beyond just sort of a broad

1:08:40.520 --> 1:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like mentality. I think we've discussed this before on the podcast.

1:08:44.240 --> 1:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>You want to go to places where people aren't necessarily

1:08:48.200 --> 1:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>looking for dates. Like everyone talks about, oh, let's go

1:08:50.240 --> 1:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>out to the bar and meet people, but like maybe

1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe go to the supermarket, uh, and just hang around, like,

1:08:57.000 --> 1:08:57.839
<v Speaker 1>don't work.

1:08:57.800 --> 1:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't work in a creepy way, but go to the

1:09:02.080 --> 1:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>supermarket and I do have a particular aisle or section.

1:09:05.760 --> 1:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm spitballing here.

1:09:06.800 --> 1:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh my god, no, keep going, keep spitballing. Go

1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>down that path, TI, commit Go somewhere.

1:09:15.520 --> 1:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Go somewhere where there's not that eminent pressure on everyone to,

1:09:20.479 --> 1:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, try and find a date. Go somewhere where

1:09:22.760 --> 1:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you can be yourself. You're in your natural habitat, you

1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>can be yourself and if you meet someone, the pressure

1:09:28.280 --> 1:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>won't be there. Okay, maybe that's a supermarket for you,

1:09:32.360 --> 1:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>ale G. I don't know a.

1:09:33.600 --> 1:09:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Lot of different paths here. Obviously online is not as

1:09:37.680 --> 1:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>daunting for men as it is for women. Straight men,

1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>straight women, So I mean it's a she's a woman

1:09:44.880 --> 1:09:48.560
<v Speaker 2>looking for a boyfriend, and I from what I can understand, ty,

1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a minefield for women. It's you know, dudes are

1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>not great as a species. No online, so that's tough.

1:09:56.160 --> 1:09:59.599
<v Speaker 2>But obviously there are a lot of success stories, self included.

1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:04.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to go So a friend of the show,

1:10:04.320 --> 1:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to name him because this is his life,

1:10:07.320 --> 1:10:08.920
<v Speaker 2>but a friend of the show who's been on the

1:10:08.960 --> 1:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>show met his significant other going too. And this might

1:10:12.200 --> 1:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>be very specific to big cities, but he met his

1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>significant other going to improv classes. Okay, And I think

1:10:20.040 --> 1:10:22.400
<v Speaker 2>that's a really good and that's another good answer for

1:10:22.439 --> 1:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the person who asked about finding somebody if you're a

1:10:24.880 --> 1:10:28.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit antisocial, people go to improv classes, and I'm

1:10:28.720 --> 1:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>dying to go, you know, take an improv class. Maybe

1:10:30.840 --> 1:10:31.479
<v Speaker 2>now is the time.

1:10:31.840 --> 1:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I think our podcast is an improv class, isn't it.

1:10:34.200 --> 1:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>That's true, a very very bad improv class, but an

1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>improv class nonetheless, But it's really good for people who

1:10:41.280 --> 1:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>want to get better at speaking to others, be it

1:10:44.920 --> 1:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>professionally or personally, or performing or sort of engaging in

1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>a better way. So something like improv or acting classes.

1:10:53.880 --> 1:10:55.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, I know, rec league sports are big out

1:10:55.640 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>here in a bunch of cities because they're co ed

1:10:58.360 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's roughly the same adiaim professional and in a city,

1:11:01.400 --> 1:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's just a good way to meet people. So

1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>if you don't make a you know, meet a significant other.

1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times people go out for beers or

1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:11.160
<v Speaker 2>whatever for food after the game and then like, oh,

1:11:11.240 --> 1:11:13.639
<v Speaker 2>you should meet my friend Tim, or you should meet

1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>my friend Babs. Are people named Babs? Probably not, but

1:11:18.479 --> 1:11:20.519
<v Speaker 2>that I think that the rec leagues and you get

1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>some exercise, you work off a couple lbs, you burn

1:11:24.360 --> 1:11:28.479
<v Speaker 2>some cows. That that's a fun way bring you know,

1:11:28.560 --> 1:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the endorphins are up, so you're perhaps more of yourself.

1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>So I would recommend rex sports. I would recommend an

1:11:35.720 --> 1:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>improv class. You know online is good, but you know,

1:11:39.120 --> 1:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>you just you got to wade through some mud. I

1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>would got them. I couldn't tell you about a supermarket.

1:11:47.560 --> 1:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>So I still think the supermarket strategy could be a

1:11:50.000 --> 1:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>potential game changer here.

1:11:51.680 --> 1:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, I think it's also important to It's not

1:11:59.360 --> 1:12:02.280
<v Speaker 2>a matter of not having shame, it's a matter of

1:12:02.600 --> 1:12:05.519
<v Speaker 2>just going forward in sometimes people are ashamed to like

1:12:06.000 --> 1:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>ask their friends if they know anybody to like they

1:12:09.360 --> 1:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>they want to wait for a friend to be like, hey,

1:12:11.960 --> 1:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>do you want to be set up with? Like my

1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:17.320
<v Speaker 2>friend's cousin Brad. Like I think sometimes you have to

1:12:17.360 --> 1:12:20.720
<v Speaker 2>put yourself out there in terms of if you know anybody,

1:12:20.960 --> 1:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to like, you know, have a drink or

1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>a coffee with somebody. I think putting yourself out there

1:12:26.680 --> 1:12:29.479
<v Speaker 2>in the like letting people know you're open to being

1:12:29.520 --> 1:12:31.240
<v Speaker 2>set up and just like meeting people.

1:12:31.680 --> 1:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I still think supermarket.

1:12:33.600 --> 1:12:36.719
<v Speaker 2>But tell me what you would do. Let's say solid

1:12:36.720 --> 1:12:39.599
<v Speaker 2>wife Kate comes to her senses and Mary's a much

1:12:39.600 --> 1:12:42.040
<v Speaker 2>more successful podcast or I don't know who that is, right,

1:12:43.200 --> 1:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's you know Ira Glass, sure, sure, as reclined whatever,

1:12:47.720 --> 1:12:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and you are are left to your own devices romantically, Okay,

1:12:53.160 --> 1:12:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And you say, you know what I said it publicly

1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>that a supermarket is an option.

1:12:58.080 --> 1:13:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I love Wegman's dannatal habitat.

1:13:01.680 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 2>So what what are you doing at Wegmans No vibes?

1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe you have to work there to get

1:13:09.560 --> 1:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a job at Wegmans. Do you get a job at

1:13:11.760 --> 1:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the supermarket just so thatw you can interact with people?

1:13:14.360 --> 1:13:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it a Wegmans with like a beer garden?

1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Because those exist?

1:13:19.040 --> 1:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Right?

1:13:19.240 --> 1:13:20.519
<v Speaker 1>They do exist? Yeah?

1:13:20.960 --> 1:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so would you like try to get a bartending job?

1:13:23.200 --> 1:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess I got to work at Wegman's pub.

1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't think that's the worst idea.

1:13:28.400 --> 1:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And sort of play that angle. But then that sort

1:13:31.000 --> 1:13:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of is counter to everything I said about not meeting

1:13:33.320 --> 1:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>people in the bar. So I'm I'm kind of talking

1:13:35.439 --> 1:13:36.479
<v Speaker 1>to myself in circles here.

1:13:36.520 --> 1:13:37.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not a traditional bar.

1:13:38.640 --> 1:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>This is true.

1:13:39.479 --> 1:13:42.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not a traditional bar. But if you are short

1:13:42.080 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 2>of working for Wegman's tie.

1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>This is going to set relationships back about twenty years

1:13:47.439 --> 1:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>right here.

1:13:48.000 --> 1:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, you're good because I set I set this up,

1:13:51.280 --> 1:13:54.719
<v Speaker 2>I think successfully and saying that Kate has done better.

1:13:55.439 --> 1:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>It is her choice. This is not you leaving Kate right,

1:13:59.040 --> 1:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>It is her choice. And I want to put the

1:14:00.960 --> 1:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>record out there right now. Tye is deeply, deeply in

1:14:03.880 --> 1:14:04.479
<v Speaker 2>love with Kate.

1:14:04.680 --> 1:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>This is correct.

1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as for everything I know, deeply deeply in love.

1:14:08.240 --> 1:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Plans on no other other option than a lifetime together.

1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, But in.

1:14:14.040 --> 1:14:18.519
<v Speaker 2>This hypothetical second world where she finds a more successful podcaster,

1:14:18.640 --> 1:14:22.439
<v Speaker 2>more charming, earth too, better better production value, the whole

1:14:22.479 --> 1:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>like really heartbreaking. Right, You're at Wegman's and you're saying,

1:14:27.320 --> 1:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm comfortable here and it's sort of nice that I

1:14:31.160 --> 1:14:33.479
<v Speaker 2>could be dating somebody who also shops and has the

1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:37.439
<v Speaker 2>same grocery taste as myself. Is what is once you?

1:14:37.560 --> 1:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you just strolling? Are you sitting by a bakery,

1:14:40.280 --> 1:14:41.519
<v Speaker 2>by the prepared foods?

1:14:42.439 --> 1:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't fully thought this strategy through, Dan, and have

1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>not gathered. I have not thought this the full way through.

1:14:49.479 --> 1:14:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Eventually, you're going to have to circling on a Wegman's

1:14:51.439 --> 1:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>tour because word is going to get out.

1:14:53.360 --> 1:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It's going to get out on the women. People are

1:14:55.360 --> 1:14:57.439
<v Speaker 1>going to think of one of those in store cops

1:14:57.439 --> 1:14:59.719
<v Speaker 1>that just lurks around with the Earbut right.

1:15:00.680 --> 1:15:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would. I would probably you have to give

1:15:03.320 --> 1:15:05.800
<v Speaker 2>yourself no more than like ten or fifteen minutes in

1:15:05.840 --> 1:15:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the store, and I would. I would probably have to

1:15:08.920 --> 1:15:13.679
<v Speaker 2>be mobile and comment in a positive way on something

1:15:13.760 --> 1:15:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that a woman in Wegmans is ordering or buying, or

1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 2>like like ooh great, call on those pita chips. Yeah,

1:15:19.920 --> 1:15:21.839
<v Speaker 2>my favorite? You ever try those with hummus?

1:15:22.000 --> 1:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1:15:22.240 --> 1:15:24.640
<v Speaker 2>What's your favorite? Like you have you have to keep

1:15:24.680 --> 1:15:26.800
<v Speaker 2>it positive and you can and it has to be

1:15:26.880 --> 1:15:30.120
<v Speaker 2>related to a purchase or a food decision.

1:15:30.240 --> 1:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the move. Yeah.

1:15:32.640 --> 1:15:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh. And then and you have to be willing to

1:15:34.560 --> 1:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>bail quickly because if if somebody is not super keen

1:15:37.920 --> 1:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>on being hit on it.

1:15:38.800 --> 1:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>A ground, you gotta go.

1:15:40.160 --> 1:15:40.800
<v Speaker 2>You gotta go.

1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:42.679
<v Speaker 1>You gotta move on to the dairy section.

1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have to be like a special teams gunner.

1:15:45.120 --> 1:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>You gotta you gotta gotta try your best on that

1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>one play and then you're just back to the sideline.

1:15:49.280 --> 1:15:51.479
<v Speaker 1>I need, I need to workshop the strategy a little

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>bit more full disquition.

1:15:53.040 --> 1:15:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're fully wrong, but I don't think

1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:56.040
<v Speaker 2>it can be habitual.

1:15:56.520 --> 1:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Probably not.

1:15:57.280 --> 1:15:59.720
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think it can be habitual.

1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:04.160
