<v Speaker 1>joining me as always over there in stunning New York City.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you it's been nice out? Huh?

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>It's been real warm, Yeah, a little stinky.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I you know what, I did sweat for the first

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>time in a long time because of warmth, not because

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm a disgusting person yesterday. Sure, so that's a good sign.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it's about to like rain and

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>be disgusting. But life is all right.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>How you doing. I'm good. It's going to rain for

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like the next ninety six hours or something. Is that true?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe so, yeah, But it's good to be with

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you on the pod. We released our much awaited How

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Recruiting Works show a week ago. If you haven't had

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance to go and check that out, please do so.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that one over the span of about a year to

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>collect all of our audio and produce it the way

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we want it, So please do check that out.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Can I have a moment of honesty about the show?

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>It didn't fully take us a year. We started it

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to release last year for signing day right correct.

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>On and off, on and off span of a year.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I would I would say a lot of what we

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 2>do because people seem to like the minutia. I know

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I do when hearing about what you put into the show.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>A lot of it is like, oh man, we made it,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and then we're like, I don't know if I like it,

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>let's start again. Yeah, And that's that's like how it

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>gets better eventually. And I was a fan of where

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 2>we were with it last year. I really like how

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it came out this year.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We tore it apart. Yeah, four or five weeks ago,

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>tore the whole dumping the lab. Yeah, tour the whole

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>thing apart, reconstructed it in a different image, and I

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>think it turned out better. So we're excited about it.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>A lot of folks who have responded are excited about

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it as well. If you haven't had a chance to listen,

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>please go out and do so. The other thing that

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll mention then, I guess on the heels of that

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 1>is that since it is end of month, what we're

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to do end of each month, at least for

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the foreseeable future is a Q and A show. This

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>is true, Collect all of the questions that come in,

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and then let's record. Let's answer simple. Yeah.

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about this earlier. Did we start our show?

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>It was either pre Twitter or just when Twitter was

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>starting out, because our sound and I don't think you

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>have the soundboard in front of you. Our sound was

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>like you've got mail, because it was you know, people

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>sending emails soliverblegmail dot com. And that's how we would retrieve.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>We still get a ton of email and we try

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>to answer it. But this is largely what Twitter and

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Facebook Twitter.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Facebook. Yeah.

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 2>The next I think the next one we do will

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>be what end of March and that I think we're

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>going to do reddit only.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>How about that? It sounds good to me.

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I like, we'll go to the I mean, the soliverbal

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>subreddit is outstanding, so we'll do that.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail. You've got mail on the

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>solid verbal All right. Well, on that note, Dan, let's

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>do our best to pay homage to those folks who

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>wrote in via whatever channel they so desired, be it social,

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>be it via email. Got a whole slew of them here.

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>We want to do our best to try and address

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>them in kind. So, Daniel, if you could reach deep

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>into that into that pot oh look of questions here

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and pull out pull out a good one for us.

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's start at the top. This is from

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Most Intriguing Conference top to bottom next year.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, so.

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I like how he phrased this, because best or worst

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>conference doesn't really tell a complete story. It's largely subjective,

0:04:55.440 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 2>as is intriguing. But intriguing is also nice because I

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 2>think we can better define that, right, Sure, of course

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.679
<v Speaker 2>we can better define the subjective nature of that word.

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>So to me, intriguing is a weird stew Aboolia base,

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>if you will, of coaching intrigue, quarterback intrigue, and attrition intrigue.

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So like, oh my god, they lost their entire offense.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, they lost their entire coaching staff. And

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to me, if his phrasing is top to bottom, it's

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>probably the sec because I feel like that's where the

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Bulia base is in terms of intrigue with new coaches.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>And you have a quarterback who came in the second

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>half and win the national championship. You have you know,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 2>a Heisman candidate Jarrett Stidham, we have a what is

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Florida's offense going to look like they're going to start

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a cheue freshmen with a new coach.

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>But if the question we're top to middle, my answer

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>is the Big ten, okay, because the Big Ten to

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>me has more wildcard fun with Purdue and Nebraska in

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>sky that middle section in the court.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Will all right, bringing your fastball here.

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm the ACC isn't doing it for me as much.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 2>The Pac twelve seems too similar and questionable, and I

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 2>think it'll still be fun. The Big twelve feels like

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't changed all that much. It's just sort of like,

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>what is he going to do in year two? Tom

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Herman and Lincoln Riley. So that's my answer, what do

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>you say?

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>My answer is actually the PAC twelve really why? And

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>perhaps it's just a matter of semantics and a matter

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of definition around the word intriguing. And yeah, furthermore, the

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>definition of intriguing in a college football sense, what does

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it mean to you? For me, intriguing is questionable? What

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is the most questionable? That's what I find intriguing. And look,

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you could always make the case for the SEC being intriguing.

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 1>There's not a season that we've done this show that

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I haven't thought about the SEC in some intriguing way.

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm always intrigued by it, and I think the same

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>holds true for the Big Ten. Certainly the Big Ten

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>now as we've had a team like a Penn State

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:11.119
<v Speaker 1>really rise up under James Franklin. New coaches abound in

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the Big Ten. That makes it an intriguing conference. That

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>was the case last year as well the PAC twelve.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Though I have no idea which direction the PAC twelve

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>is headed, because USC without Sam Darnold could go one

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of a hundred different directions. Arizona fired their coach like

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago, something crazy like that. Arizona State, We're

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>not sure their coach knows what's going on. Oregon had

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to scramble and find a new coach at the Gun

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>yet again. Yeah, and oh, by the way, Charles chip Kelly,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>coming back to the college game down there at UCLA.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of variables in the PAC twelve

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that to me, I don't know which direction it's headed,

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and that makes it really intriguing from top to bottom

0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>So are you intrigued by the bottom of the PAC twelve?

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Like the Oregon State, cal Colorado you know you can.

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I guess put Utah even though they were the only

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe PAC twelve team to win a ball game. Yeah,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>if the night or what is it, the day is

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>darkest before dawn whatever that phrasing is eleven of twelve

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve teams finish the season with a loss, so

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>it's certainly not looking great. The South should be wide open.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Ish.

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 2>You can make a case for probably three teams, yeah,

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty evenly winning that division in USC, Arizona and UCLA,

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>actually three and a half of Utah.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I have the least amount of certainty about the PAC twelve.

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>There are more variables to me in the PAC twelve

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>than any other conference. And that's what makes it intriguing

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>top to bottom. So you get you get hot and

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>bothered by that. That's right, the mystery extremely Yeah, I'm

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan seduced, Okay, I can appreciate that and the ACC.

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>The only reason I don't lump in the ACC with

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the others is outside. I mean, listen, Miami and Virginia

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Tech and Clemson and Florida State all have intriguing things

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>about them to me. It's not even like top to bottom.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It's more top and bottom are interesting to me. The

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 1>middle class of the ACC right now, Virginia, Pitt, Louisville,

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess, BC, and Wake I don't see. There's not

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a huge mystery fact, Dan, I feel like you could

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>have a template saved on your computer. Oh, Yeah, with

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that statement tier ACC team dot doc X, and you

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>could pretty much apply that to about eight teams in

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the middle.

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, ty So. And by the way, low

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 2>key on that, the AAC is going to be really

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 2>intriguing next year. Okay, all right, the American is going

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>to be real nice because I think Memphis returns a

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>good amount. You still have UCF with the talent from

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>last year. I think Jeff Collins improves Temple next year.

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Navy's always going to be fun. Like I think that

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 2>is going to be not not underrated, but just consistently

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 2>rated as fun and deep.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>How about that fun and deep moving, fun and deep

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>before we going next, let's go too Oh, I like this.

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>This was a big thing this week. I think it

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.680
<v Speaker 2>was Dennis Dodd from CBS who wrote about it. Maybe

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, I don't know, but beef Mick large huge.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Is that a real name? That's that's probably family name. Yeah, okay, in.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Your opinion, what is the reason? And I will parenthetically

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.439
<v Speaker 2>add reasons for the decline in attendance at college football games?

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>So what did Dennis Dodd go with? Kids care about

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>their phones and there's not enough bandwidth. Kids, these days. Ty.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, by the way, thank you for listening to the

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>show on your phone. Weir Yeah, grateful. Yeah, that's that's

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:43.719
<v Speaker 2>not the approach I would take. It's certainly one interpretation.

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that part of the reason why is because

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the home experience is so damn enjoyable. I think it's

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>part of it. Sometimes the easiest answer and the best

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>answer is the most straightforward joy as a college football

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>fan infinitely more watching the game from the comfort of

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>my couch on my HD television, not having to fight

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>off crowds of one hundred thousand to watch a football game.

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I would pause it this, Ty, I think you're completely right.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I My question.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Is, is going to a football game and forget about traffic,

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>forget about you know, cleaning up and setting up tailgating.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Forget about like parking and the pain and the ass

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 2>of you know, oh, I got to park on this

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>shady dude's lawn because it's eight hundred dollars to park

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 2>for whatever. Forget about all of that. It's football fun

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 2>to watch in person, Like is it a sport built

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.199
<v Speaker 2>for an in person experience?

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>It's built more for an in person experience than baseball.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But I can tell you that the commercial breaks during

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a football game, particularly an NFL game. If you've ever

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>been to one of those, yeah, that aspect of it

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is very much a kill joy when you're in the stands,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and at least if you're at home, you can find

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>things to do. You can check Twitter, you can like

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>go to the bath, move your bowels, yeah, or same page.

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>You have options when the game goes to commercial break

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that you don't have if you're actually there in attendance.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I would almost push back, and I know this is

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be sacrilege on a college football show. I

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 2>may like going to baseball games, and I'm not even

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a huge baseball fan. I think there's something a little

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 2>more honest, like Baseball's like, yeah, we're slow, just chill out,

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 2>look at the grass. We walk to you with the

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 2>food and the beverages. Okay, there's something that is a

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>very entertaining screen saver where it never really gets high

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 2>impact and exciting, and football is like hig impact exciting stop, Hi,

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>you packed exciting, stop? And that I think is the

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 2>bigger issue. Or football just might not be a great

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>in person sport. It's better with everything filled in by TV.

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.719
<v Speaker 2>That also said, if I were paid to improve the

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>in person experience. I mean, you know what I'm gonna say.

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I want more comfortable seating. Yeah, and I want better

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 2>cheaper food. You can't just serve me boiled hot dogs

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and dry burgers.

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>You just can't.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>And I know, I think it's the New Falcons Stadium,

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 2>where the National Championship also was this year, Mercedes Benz.

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I think they have a bunch of local vendors, the

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn Nets not too far from where I am broadcasting

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 2>this very show. They have a local sausage place, local

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Mexican like there is something that's pretty familiar and exciting

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 2>of like, oh, you can also eat and consume well

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>while you're there, and that I don't think is the

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 2>case of a lot of these schools.

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Tickets are also really expensive. They are, and we are

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>very much in an age where it's easier now than

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>ever to be very cost conscious and do a line

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>item on everything you pay out in the span of

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a month, and you can be the biggest fan in

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the world. Never go to a game. You don't have

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to anymore because the coverage is there. You can watch

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want.

0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 2>All that said, the ceiling is still higher you're in

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the stadium for something incredible for your team, a huge upset,

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a huge play, whatever the communal experience of that untouchable.

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't begrudge anyone who chooses to go to the gy. Yeah,

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to, as you said, posit a theory

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>as to why more people don't fair. All right, where

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are we going next?

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Colin wants to know. Combination of questions. One does it

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>get hard to be quote impartial? I use quotes because

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>of Ty's blaytant disracespec so blaytant Yeah of Michigan State

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 2>this past season, he says, MSU, So maybe it's Mississippi State.

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't sure. Two least favorite team or fan base.

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I have an interesting answer to this, God, here we go. Yeah,

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>please buckle up for starters. Part of I think the

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>charm of what we do is that we never try

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to mask our rooting allegiances, like you're an Oregon grad,

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you're an Oregon fan yep. And I don't think in

0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>any case we're gushing over the teams that we root for.

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>If anything, it's more bitching and moaning, right, exactly what

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 2>you're root for? Yeah, exactly?

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But we don't hide the fact that we have some

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>rooting allegiance, so that that part is I think just

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that we're authentic. What I'll say is it actually gets

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>easier to be impartial the longer you do this, because

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you reach a point where, in order to cover it

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the way we cover it, you have to imbibe so

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>much college football all the time, and some of that

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>raw emotion gets boiled off just just as part of

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the natural machinations of what we do.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 2>My least favorite team or fan base, my least favorite

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 2>team is any team who is boring, because for a

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>living I talk about this and I want weird and

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>exciting and fun and creative and so and that will

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>very year to year the boringness, quotion or whatever of

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 2>a team. So that really is everything to me. It's

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>if do you play slow? Are you throwing well short

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 2>of sticks on third and four? Are you punting from

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 2>your opponents thirty nine like I That to me, that

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>is tough to be impartial. A by like, well, this

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>is how they're thinking in defense of that mo Mel

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 2>That is garbage, and that is who I root against.

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Anybody that is playing conservatively and for field position that

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>is extremely boring. And soft, So that is who I

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>do not like.

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I definitely do not have a specific team right or

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>fan base that is my least favorite. To answer part

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>two of Collin's question, there is not one team, There

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is not one base that I detest more than any other.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>One thing that we get though pretty frequently, that in

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 1>my estimation, means we're doing it correctly. Yeah, there are

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>multiple teams and multiple fan bases who believe in earnest

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that we are the least favorite. And that tells me

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>that we're spreading around the hate just rout about the

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>right amount, and the fact that there are more than

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 1>one out there that that to me says we're doing

0:16:59.120 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>something right.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I should say, after we hit stop when we record,

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 2>we just bitch about Michigan all the time. It's all

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.439
<v Speaker 2>all the time. Kevin Wade, our pal wants to know.

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather your team win a college football championship

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but then move to the FCS level? Oh okay, so

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a demotion of relegation or against you good? Or go

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>into every season knowing you'll never get above second place

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 2>in your conference. And I say that with a defending champion,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I think coming in third place in their conference, right,

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>if that makes sense, So okay, what is it? Would

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you rather have a ceiling or a hard success and

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 2>a hard floor.

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>There is nothing more frustrating than that glass ceiling. Okay,

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>there is nothing more frustrating than knowing at the start

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of a season you can't get above second place. And

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I think in large part that's why every program outside

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Alabama and the SEC has changed coaches in the span

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that he's been at Bama, right, Because on some level

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone's felt that that that ceiling. Man, you can't get

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>past Alabama. So no, I don't want to be in

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that position. It drives people crazy. I'd much rather win

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and then get relegated. We'll play in the Big Sky

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>for the next fifteen years, but at least you'll always

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>have that championship moment where you got to hold up

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the trophy standing next to our boy Grandpa Bill Hancock.

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. I haven't said that in a while. It

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 1>would be miserable.

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:34.679
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't be able to watch your team if they

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>were an FCS team, depending on where you lived, you'd

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>have to watch it on like ESPN three, watch it

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:45.360
<v Speaker 2>on the Stadium network, right, which looks good. I think

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>our pel Jeff Schwartz does stuff for them, Christ and

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 2>BALBONI all sorts of good people. But it would it

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 2>would kind of be boring to go for rooting every

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>year for an FBS team to an FCS team. I

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 2>think competition. I mean, if it's the same team, if

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame won a national championship and then was in

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 2>the Big Sky, they would still attract a lot of

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 2>talent and people. Game people love the Patriot League Lightning

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Round on this show.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I know they do.

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I guess would that make the most sense FCS conference

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 2>wise for Notre Dame.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>It might be, yeah, let's got some Notre Dame Mount

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Union action. I think they're like D three. That'd be wonderful.

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Shout out Wisconsin, Whitewater. No, I would take second place

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>because one, you can still get to the national championship

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 2>coming in second place in your conference with the playoff.

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 2>And two, I've said this before, I don't know that

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>it is in an era where everything is so weighted

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>towards the top and the teams that have the most

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>money and the geographic advantages that if you have a

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.120
<v Speaker 2>fun season where you beat two of your rivals, that's

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 2>that feels like a success. And you know, with the

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 2>way everything is, I would take that more often than not.

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 2>And coming in second place in your conference, and I

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 2>know it's not it's a ceiling of second place. It

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 2>still means you're making a conference championship game every so often.

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm going with that. I'm still going with

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the excitement. Huh playing FB. I just I don't want

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to watch FCS football every week.

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Wow. And I not fired.

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I apologize, but I'm saying I don't want to watch

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 2>FCS football if I've grown accustomed, you know, like when

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.439
<v Speaker 2>you see the divorce proceedings, like, well, she's grown or

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 2>he's grown a custom of a certain lifestyle.

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.640
<v Speaker 1>We're talking college football alimony here.

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 2>At college football alimony. That's exactly right. And I have

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 2>grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and I am not

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>willing to go back.

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's go to Mason. Max More rites in

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and he says, since Bill Connolly is the world's biggest

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico State fan, can you guys take the mantle

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of being big Utah State fans? What up? Bags? Or

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe one of you could take Texas A and M

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>and each of you could have your own Aggie allegiance. Uh,

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.439
<v Speaker 1>this isn't so much a question as it is a proposal.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And since it is the end of February, Mason, you're

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>on the board early. We can consider this as the

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>year moves on. I'm open to being an Aggie faithful

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 1>of some kind timely question. With CHUCKI.

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Keaton entering his junior year, I don't know how long

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 2>he's been there. I assume he has just gotten medical

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>red shirts and perpetuity. I apologize if CHUCKI. Keaton is

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>dead or.

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Found the flower pot and there's traveling back in time

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to continue playing college football.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think I could be a textas ay

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and m Fan. I just I don't think it mesh

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>as well with my person.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 1>It's an exciting new era, though, with Jimbo Fisher Dan.

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I suppose nothing like getting on board with a coach

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>whose last fan base hated him for playing slowly right

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:49.640
<v Speaker 2>after I decried teams who play slowly. I'm on board

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>with UC Davis Ty all right, the Aggies of UC Davis.

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Robert Mondavi is Bob mont Dave from out there. I

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>believe I think that is the It's like the Robert

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Mondavi school of something of wine. I think, what is

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 2>what is wine science?

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Do we know? Oh? Boy, what is that wine? Hooking

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it up right now? Idea? Look that up. I'm a

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 1>big fan of Bob Mondavi's fume blanc. Like you call

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 1>him Bob on top. He's known as Bob in this household,

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>wine science is called Oh man, I don't know, it's

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I just see wine making.

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 2>There has to be something else. A vinter Sure that

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 2>sound right to you?

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I vinification. I have no idea A winemaker may also

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 2>be called a vintner. The more you know, have you

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 2>been to a vineyard? Have you gone wine tasting before?

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I have? Yeah? I did it in Canada, Canadian wine tasting.

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I did a Canadian wine tasting in Niagara, Niagara Falls.

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh so, just on the other side of the border,

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 1>just on the other side of the border. How was it?

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 1>It was great. It was cold, we went and it

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>was freezing, but it was it was a cool experience.

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Is my first time doing that? Solid wife Kate, She's

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>been other places, cool, cooler places and done the whole

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>wine tasting thing. But I enjoyed it. Yeah.

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you were able to pull apart notes for full

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 2>party canted SIPs.

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, No, I have no idea what I'm doing. No,

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I just I just sort of drink it for sport. Dan,

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really into the whole tasting thing.

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't drink wine all that often. I do like

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 2>swishing it around, taking a sip, and I will say subtle.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a theory that most people at wine tastings

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what they're doing, but like to be

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 1>seen as if they do well.

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 2>The Michael Scott line was, ooh, it's a nutty after birth, right,

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 2>it's great? Next question? But bah, I may oh Michael

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 2>is a mid forties Oregon State Beavers fan.

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, it's been a long, trite, miserable life for

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that man.

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, was two thousand and one, the two thousand and

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>one festival. Ty your memories, I remember it well, the

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 2>best it's going to get in my lifetime? Or is

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>there something better out there? I mean there's friendship and love, sure, hobbies, travel, Yes,

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 2>there's also lots of better things out there than being

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.680
<v Speaker 2>an Oregon State fan. Is their hope for a mid

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 2>forties Oregon State Beaver span? And I would also add

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 2>like teams that are Oregon State, but not Oregon States.

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 2>So across college football teams that have had brief runs

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 2>of success but kind of have the deck stacked against them.

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I for Michael here specifically, I'm going to say

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that was probably the pinnacle Chad Johnson, TJ. Hushmanzada if

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he's in his mid forties. Now realistically, now let's talk life.

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk lifespan in the continue.

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>What is the average male lifespan in the United States

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of America. It's it's fallen fast h eighty one, okay,

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 2>average American male lifespan okay, seventy.

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Eight point seven. Okay. So there's not nearly enough time

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>for them to build up a program. So he's got

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>what thirty three years if he's mid forties, let's say

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>forty five, just to keep it nice. And since he's

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on the back nine tie, he's on the back nine Dan.

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>So could they conceivably build up a program in thirty

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>years at Oregon State.

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>To that eclipses dominant BCS group of whatever? Yeah, New

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Year's how long did it take Boise.

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>State to get to a point where we feel pretty

0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 1>good about their consistency? Twenty years? Not in a power five. Though,

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 1>if we use Boise State as an example, even though

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>they're not Power five, how many it was it.

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't twenty it was you know it was you had

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Dirt Hutter, you had Chris Peterson, you had Dan Hawkins.

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 2>How long it was ten to twelve, eight, ten something

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>in there, I say, pick a different team. Oh man,

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>he's going to die before they eclipse that.

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be rough.

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:57.439
<v Speaker 2>Eclipsing that in twenty eighteen to twenty thirties is just

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 2>with the investment of Oregon and Washington Stanford in that division,

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a situation has to be a

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 2>situation of getting extraordinarily lucky with quarterback recruiting and keeping

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback and sort of finding a season in which

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 2>everywhere every position on the two deep is juniors and

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 2>seniors is upperclassmen. That's the best, and that have all

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:26.199
<v Speaker 2>developed and worked out. Here's my question back to Michael.

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Not impossible, not impossible, but I think he's more likely

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to pass on to the afterlife. With the Fiesta Bowl

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and one being the pinnacle of his fandom.

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>My question back to Michael is, now that we have

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 2>proven that much out, will he pick a different team.

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Will he play his college football fandom?

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Like people try to play the stock market and sell

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>high and now try to buy low on somebody else.

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what he could do. He's right there.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.719
<v Speaker 2>If he is in Central organ or Vicinity, that's wine country,

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 2>tie olam At Valley.

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be the new wine country because it's

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 1>getting warmer. That's what I'm told by the wine nerve.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah really, yeah.

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've had good wine from the Lamont Valley.

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Here you go. What's good?

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 2>You and your Bob Mundabo. Yeah, this comes frost from Adam.

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 2>We have we've received a version of this question before.

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Certain programs and fans seem to be alike despite being

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 2>far apart. For example, the play style, drinking habits, statues,

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, status of Alice in Wisconsin nearly the same.

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 2>So they are a match? Who are and they played?

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Who are the matches for your schools? Notre Dame, Penn

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>State and Oregon. Ooh so stylistically, so we'll start with

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame.

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it feels Michigan. I was gonna say Michigan.

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>It's Michigan. Yeah, it's one hundred percent Michigan. Tradition Midwest,

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, angry coach. Now. The only thing I don't

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>know about Michigan fans, and maybe you can help because

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you're married to one, I don't know the drinking habits

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of Michigan folk.

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a Midwest, big ten school, big Greek situation.

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.879
<v Speaker 1>My impression of Notre Dame, after tailgateting there a number

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.159
<v Speaker 1>of times and going to more Notre Dame games than

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I can count, is that it was much more of

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 1>a wine and cheese crowd. There's an element of that

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>with Michigan. Absolutely. If you could meld maybe like Virginia

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 1>with Michigan, that would probably be the perfect match for

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame.

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I would all I mean, I think the overlap is also, yeah,

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Virginia and Notre Dame, Stanford and Notre Dame is not

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>terribly far off the kind of academics. But the thing

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 2>that I think Notre Dame and Michigan also have is

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>they recruit students, not football players, but also football players nationally.

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 2>So my wife is from Chicago. She's not local too

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 2>in Michigan, but that is, you know, regionally local. But

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I knew a lot of kids from Calbasa's High went

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to Michigan. A lot of like Long Island, New York,

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey, Michigan. So same for Notre Dame with just

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 2>like point to better GPAs anything for Penn State. Penn

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>State's Ohio State isolated tradition, creative now.

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 1>On the field, obnoxious sometimes as a fan base. Sometimes

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I'm gonna have to I have to play koy here. Okay,

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pull up pen Live comments real quick. I

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's a bio state.

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but give me something out of the region.

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Florida State.

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's not bad. I mean you had the long, long,

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 2>long time coaches. That's still a looming shadow in a

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>number of ways. Right, yep, another obnoxious quality. Sometimes you've got,

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, big enthusiastic recruiters. Yet to see the success

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>for Willie Taggert. Okay, I think that's pretty good Penn

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>State in Florida State.

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>What about Oregon?

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Oregon is off the beaten path a little in the region.

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's another school that traditionally has done better,

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>but they've been the up and comer, although now it's

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>sort of back and forth. Oklahoma State TCU. I don't

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>know if there's a team in the Big ten acc

0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>a little Virginia Tech ish okay, where there's there's a

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>very specific brand and even though it's different at Virginia Tech,

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Tech is definitely isolated, you know. It's that that

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive brand, and I think it's very similar in the

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Oregon spread offense and like the quarters whatever defense that

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Bud Foster lunch Poilu they play in Blacksburg. I think

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>that that feels like a little bit of a comparison.

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>And there's probably a comparison in Boise State as well,

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>just because they're sort of the newcomer, one of the newcomers,

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>flashy in their own right because they are a newcomer. Yeah,

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 1>we want to address some non football questions. But before

0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we do, Dan, I if people want to ask you,

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>have you made your own personal website yet? I know

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about just tasteful nudes something of that variety.

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>It will no longer be tasteful nudes, ty, No, I have.

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I believe I still own Dan Rubinstein dot com and

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I have thought about what to do with it. So Yeah,

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the last web domain I bought was not for a website.

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 2>It was Fartgoblin dot com, which I believe I still.

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Own fart Goblin. Yes.

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how fart Goblin translates, by the way

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to English or excuse me, to German. Uh, you live

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>in German Germanic country. Oh there in Pa fart Goblin, yeah,

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>translates to pumpernickel.

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:43.240

<v Speaker 2>I like this? We have dueling questions from Espanation acc

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 2>network sites. Okay, first from the Miami site, State of

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the yew shout out cam under what arepas or casdas.

0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, pause, you know what a case it is. I know,

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I know what a case idea is. A raypause? Is

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that how you pronounce that?

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I don't know if it's South American or

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Central American. It's I want to say, it's like Colombian salvador.

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 2>No Salvadoran is papoosa, but is like a stuffed corn

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>cake or like a corn cake sand almost like a sandwich.

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, So if you can imagine like a very

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:10.839
<v Speaker 2>thick corn tortilla on a like a griddle, stuffed with

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:12.840
<v Speaker 2>meat or vegetables or cheese and sauce.

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And I got to go caesada. It's the only one

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I've ever had, So I'm gonna go case ada here.

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>It's I can't even say the other one dan, so

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>let's get a Yeah.

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going case toda as well, just because I like

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>a thinner corn tortilla. That's all it is. That's personal preference.

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>The one from the Clemson site shaking the Southland just

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 2>says Clemson defensive line question mark. Yeah, really good and

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 2>even though you don't, I agree, real good, even though

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 2>you don't have soundboard.

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Whoa, whoa O. It's a complete dood alert. Right, Oh

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>my god, they all came back.

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't off the top of my head, which sidebar

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 2>is not much? On the top of my head, I

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 2>cannot think of a better unit going into this season.

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Such a good unit.

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's the answer to your question. Do you want

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 2>to ask ask the Braiden one Braiden?

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:06.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, my roommate and I play tennis once a

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:10.919
<v Speaker 1>week in spring and summer. What's the most important thing

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I should work on to beat him? Now? As in

0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>aside here, Dan, huh, I don't know if we've discussed

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 1>this on the program before. Okay. I have a friend

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.840
<v Speaker 1>with whom I've played many frames of tennis, many sets

0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:30.760
<v Speaker 1>of tennis, many games of tennis, frames of tennis. Okay,

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 1>it was a first word that came to mind. I've

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 1>only ever beaten him once, and this is after hundreds

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of games of tennis matches. Sure, I've never beaten him

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 1>more than like one game here, one game there. I

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've ever actually taken a set. It's

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>not that I'm unathletic, Dan, I suck at tennis, so

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I am. I am very interested in the answer to

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this question here as Braiden is is, well, how do

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you get good at tennis? What is the one thing

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you should work on? Honestly, like it's reps, You have

0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to hit a lot of balls. But if you have

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>an awesome serve and I wouldn't say speed, if you can,

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure you can look this up on YouTube,

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 1>but you do have to go out and practice it.

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.319
<v Speaker 1>If you can develop a good kick serve which you

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have to put in the time, it bounces the wrong

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.719
<v Speaker 1>way and it jumps real high up and if you

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 1>are playing somebody right handed, it will kick to their backhand,

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>which is generally the weaker side. That's my most genuine answer.

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>The easier answer is you have to get in their

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>head because tennis is a mental game, and so I

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>would assume most people who play tennis recreational are just

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:53.279
<v Speaker 1>as everybody is, and not in amazing shape. You run

0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>them back and forth, you drop shot them a little bit,

0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's just wearing them out mentally as well as

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 1>physically saying things like I'm and this is stuff I

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 1>tell to my mom to tell her opponents.

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 2>I tweet about my mom's tennis. Sometimes it's ridiculous. She

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 2>gets in everybody's head because she plays a very like

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 2>she's the Tim Wakefield of senior women's tennis players in

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 2>southern California. A lot of slice and weird curving. But

0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:20.319
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of like saying, and I don't think she

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 2>does this, like why you move really well for your side?

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Stuff like that is I can't see your mom saying that,

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.759
<v Speaker 1>no trying ever met in my life.

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she she refuses, but I try to get in.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 1>But what you're saying is that she plays her style

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.319
<v Speaker 1>of tennis is my style of of ping pong?

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would, I would. Yeah, it's consistency, it's she

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 2>slices off of both sides. But I would say, learn

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.880
<v Speaker 2>a really good drop shot. It's cheap as hell. But

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're playing to win and it's not purely social,

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 2>you gotta you gotta.

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Pull out everything. That's what I'm saying. Pull it all out,

0:37:58.000 --> 0:37:59.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, pull it all out.

0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to John, what's the dumbest thing you've spent

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 2>money on recently? And this answer, this answer will be

0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to be continued, but from what you can say, Yeah,

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and I went through my recent Amazon purchases and I

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 2>do have an answer. But I'm actually kind of proud

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of it.

0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that's a good idea. Why don't Why don't you

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.759

<v Speaker 2>ordered on Amazon in the past year because I'm positive

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Jody with an Eye has four of them in her

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Ty.

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:17.839
<v Speaker 2>It's the very end of the page. I got this

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:19.880
<v Speaker 2>for camera guy Dave to return to at the end

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of his honeymoon because he doesn't travel well intestinally poop

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:29.720
<v Speaker 2>like a champion Cereal, highest fiber cereal one hundred percent

<v Speaker 2>a wow bowl of cereal on this box up on

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:50.080
<v Speaker 2>a golden pedestal in the clouds. WHOA, yeah, but I

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 2>stand by that. I'm not embarrassed by it.

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Man, Yeah, I don't.

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I didn't follow up to see how it did, though.

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I Uh. The one that I'm looking through here that

0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I see on my Amazon is I went for one

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of those I think it was one of those Kinja

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 1>deals that you see floating around all the time. Sure,

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:14.839
<v Speaker 1>I bought one of those Amazon Basics luggage scales. And

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the way it works is you kind of hook Oh

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:20.400
<v Speaker 1>my god, that is really nerdy. Yeah. You hook one

0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of like a strap around the handle of your luggage,

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and then you connect it back up with this little

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 1>device and you just pull it up and then it

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:31.759
<v Speaker 1>shows you on a little led screen how much your

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>luggage ways. Now. I bought this mainly for solid wife Kate,

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>because she travels a little bit more for the day job.

0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Than I do. I don't think she's ever used it,

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and I thought to myself, you know, this would be

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 1>really good when when I'm traveling, I can see if

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be over the limit or I've really

0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>only ever been over the limit one time in my life,

0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and that might have been my honeymoon. Most of the time,

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't have enough stuff that I can pack in

0:40:56.480 --> 0:41:00.120
<v Speaker 1>there to go over, like the fifty pound limit. I

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>spent seven ninety nine. I believe on this device it

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 1>may never be used more than once.

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize you had so much disposable income that

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 2>you had luggage scale money.

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.880
<v Speaker 1>That's right, look at you. Yeah, all right, there you go.

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I hope that answers your question. That is a ridiculous item.

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't I didn't know what existed.

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I like this question a whole bunch. Even though we

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 2>discourage these types of questions, I'm gonna roll with it

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 2>for this show.

0:41:25.120 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Is a coach question.

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Which Big five conference or Power five? Yeah, Power five

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 2>conference coach could eat the most hot dogs in one sitting.

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Oooh.

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you're listening, I assume your brain is going

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:40.839
<v Speaker 2>to go to who seems like the biggest eater who

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 2>seems like it's.

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Going to go to like Brett Beelmo or Mike Leach

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 1>or somebody not active.

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, Mike Leach is the other that's the second biggest

0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:49.359
<v Speaker 2>coach you could come up with.

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:51.239
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no no. I'm just saying it's going to

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>go to somebody like that. See that's where I diverged. Hy.

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 2>If you know anything about competitive eating, it's the small

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It's about the expansion possibilities. Okay, the Black Widow Kobayashi.

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 2>They're small, but they can expand. And I think being

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in good shape helps that. I don't know if the

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:15.360
<v Speaker 2>muscle prevents expansion. If it doesn't, the answer is Larry Fedora.

0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 2>He has the best yeah, right, the best core in

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:20.720
<v Speaker 2>college football. I was going to say Tom Herman because

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:22.879
<v Speaker 2>as we know from interviewing him, and if you've done

0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:25.800
<v Speaker 2>any research on Tom Herman, Tom Herman is a is

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 2>a Mensa Society member, and so my sense is that

0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 2>he would figure out a way to cut corners, a

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 2>specific way to dip the bread in the water and

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 2>eat his hot dogs maybe two, two and a half

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 2>at a time, in order to game the system. And

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 2>he's also in that in that slider vein right, like, right,

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to be the biggest guy in the world,

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 2>but he's yeah, you know, he's kind of an average build.

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Herb's pretty slim. M her Edwards.

0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Her Edwards though, would see some sort of like meta

0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 1>properties in the hot dogs and wouldn't eat him he

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:05.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about them.

0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, I'm trying to think, man, I'm looking across

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the conferences. Hmmm, Brian Harrison pretty pretty trim. Oh he's

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:18.960
<v Speaker 2>not power five. I'm gonna go Larry Fedora. You know what,

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm fascinated by.

0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Ty.

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.360
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna sound very strange. You know what skinny

0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:26.040
<v Speaker 2>fat is. Yeah, people who seem skinny but they just

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 2>have small frames bathing Suco's on. You're like, oh weird,

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't I'm trying to think who would be the

0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.399
<v Speaker 2>most secret or like skinny fat coach.

0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 1>It could also be Tom Herman. It could be It

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:39.840
<v Speaker 1>really could well could be.

0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Man, this is good tweet us who you think is

0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the most skinny fat or strong fat coach, because there's

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 2>like the fat pack thing as well, but I think

0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 2>skinny fat is more interesting. All right, next question, Let's

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 2>stick with the herr edwords.

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Thing.

0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Will I ask you ever ful Phillips decades long sleeping

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:59.960
<v Speaker 2>giant label that comes to us from Brian. And if

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm interpreting this correctly, it's that ASU is fun place

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to go. So should it tract, you know, quality football

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:09.279
<v Speaker 2>players just because people are going to fun places. It's

0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>near southern California, the weather's great, and it's in a

0:44:14.920 --> 0:44:20.760
<v Speaker 2>conference that's not stacked with national championship contenders. So ASU

0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 2>should be able to win a division every three or

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 2>four years. You know, given those things, will they ever fulfill?

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:31.760
<v Speaker 2>It's decades long sleeping giant label.

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I say giant, No, I say no, no, sleeping small forward. Yeah.

0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I don't know. The whole Herm Edwards thing really

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>has me spooked in. I've been thinking a lot about

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.760
<v Speaker 1>this in the offseason. So far, I am so spooked.

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea which direction things are headed there.

0:44:53.239 --> 0:44:54.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what we should do.

0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:57.440
<v Speaker 2>We should do a Bizarro show because if we go

0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 2>through different conferences we have and I'm sure we don't

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 2>agree on all of this, but there's a certain amount

0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:07.200
<v Speaker 2>of conventional wisdom about each conference that, like Nick Saban

0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:10.359
<v Speaker 2>will never be bad at Alabama, her Edwards is going

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:14.920
<v Speaker 2>to be a disaster at Arizona State. Willie Taggart is

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 2>going to recruit super well at Florida State. You know,

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.520
<v Speaker 2>there's just everywhere you look there is conventional wisdom, like

0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:24.200
<v Speaker 2>an assumed agreed upon talking point. We should do a

0:45:24.239 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Bizarro show and figure out how the conventional wisdom can

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:32.400
<v Speaker 2>be completely proven wrong. Like how would ASU see? Like,

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 2>what is what is the formula for her Edwards to

0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:38.320
<v Speaker 2>succeed at ASU despite all of the like the josh

0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and around about him.

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, the thing is, we're pretty booked up this offseason, Dan,

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:43.759
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, it might be able to fit it in

0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at some point in like June.

0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, but do you have an answer to like

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.800
<v Speaker 2>what what is the secret sauce that like here is

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 2>step and we can talk about it more on our

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Bizarrow show whenever that happens. But like, give me the

0:45:57.120 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 2>short version of no, it can actually work if Her Edwards.

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.680
<v Speaker 1>The secret the secret sauce is that HERM Edwards and

0:46:03.800 --> 0:46:07.920
<v Speaker 1>his little formula is good that it can build some

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 1>level of consistency. M and ASU might not be the

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.080
<v Speaker 1>best team or the most talented team out there, but

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:19.399
<v Speaker 1>they're consistent, very consistent on both sides of the ball

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>week in week out, and they're good enough to win

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 1>nine games a year. Yeah, that I think is is

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>where you'd have to go with it, because that's been

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a problem for ASU. They've been inconsistent and when one

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:34.239
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball is clicking, the other isn't. So

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:37.400
<v Speaker 1>if they can get better than average on both sides

0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and do it consistently, that gets them going in the

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:42.799
<v Speaker 1>right direction. I think that's right.

0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I would also argue that USC may not have a top,

0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:51.320
<v Speaker 2>top tier coach like they did in the mid two thousands.

0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:55.640
<v Speaker 2>UCLA has a you know, it could be a situation

0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:59.440
<v Speaker 2>where Chip Kelly isn't old chip Kelly or previous chip

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Kelly or bloom or bust.

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah.

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Utah and Colorado are in pretty good situations, though I

0:47:05.600 --> 0:47:07.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know if the outlook for Colorado is great and

0:47:07.800 --> 0:47:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Utah seems like they always sort of fade, have like

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a November fade after starting pretty well. I think in

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Arizona is they have a very similar ceiling. I think

0:47:19.080 --> 0:47:21.280
<v Speaker 2>as a school they've succeeded a little bit more athletically

0:47:21.320 --> 0:47:25.040
<v Speaker 2>because of basketball on a bigger stage, but it's a

0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:32.000
<v Speaker 2>division without clear superpowers, having everything together. And the state

0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:34.440
<v Speaker 2>of Arizona. I want to say they churn out blue

0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 2>chip quarterbacks pretty much every year, it seems, Kyle Allen,

0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I know ASU has a current guy who was a

0:47:41.680 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 2>blue chip quarterback. Oregon is getting one this coming season,

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:47.400
<v Speaker 2>so there is enough local talent to build around. I

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:50.560
<v Speaker 2>would say that is the path of hoping for coaching

0:47:50.600 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 2>inconsistency at other programs and consistently getting and having a

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 2>depth of quarterback that's higher quality than it has been recently.

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:01.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, where we're going next, Let's go two or

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>three more quick ones here.

0:48:03.040 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, here's a quick one. John O'Meara, you want

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 2>to read it. Do you have thoughts?

0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Best Mike Tyson's punch out opponent? Mm hmmm. So is

0:48:11.400 --> 0:48:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he saying best in terms of they're the hardest to

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:19.680
<v Speaker 1>conquer or just best because they're like the most fun

0:48:19.719 --> 0:48:20.359
<v Speaker 1>to knock down?

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Who is who is your favorite to face? Who is

0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to you is the most well developed character, most the

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:27.640
<v Speaker 2>best defined er.

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I always had a hard time with Great Tiger, of course,

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, with that little spin thing that he would do.

0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I always said, difficult. He was like the third or

0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth guy. I always had a hard time timing out

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.879
<v Speaker 1>that little spin thing he would do. Was it who disappeared?

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Great Tiger. It was Great Tiger. Yeah.

0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 1>So for me, it's a toss up between Great Tiger

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and Bald Bull because bald Bull was another one. You

0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:52.160
<v Speaker 1>had a time it out when he did that charge right,

0:48:52.600 --> 0:48:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Bald Bull all the way from Istanbul Turkey did the

0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:58.840
<v Speaker 1>charge and you had a time it right, otherwise you

0:48:58.880 --> 0:48:59.560
<v Speaker 1>get knocked down.

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Ty, I'm a showman. I love me some. Don Flamenco,

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Don Flemaco. Yeah, Flemenco. Isn't it flamenco like the type

0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:08.239
<v Speaker 2>of Spanish dancing.

0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:13.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what I said, Don funny flamenco. Flamenco. Oh my god.

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I I don't know how we're gonna deal with this

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:19.359
<v Speaker 2>this autumn with you saying Mario Crystal Ball. I don't

0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:22.200
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what I'm

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:25.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. I'm going don flamenco. Uh slight but fun.

0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I think the most the most fun to face, though,

0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the most satisfying to knock down would always be King Hippo. Hmmm,

0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you knew what you were getting each time, but King

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Hippo knocking him down. Yeah, he had a good statrum

0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in the mouth and in the you know, he knocked

0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:44.359
<v Speaker 1>the pants down. That was always fun.

0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm partial to a good von Kiser staggerback.

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Hmm.

0:49:48.160 --> 0:49:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I like that a lot. But let's go to This

0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 2>was a very strange question, and I assume it's a joke.

0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I really hope it's a joke. If you're watching a

0:49:57.600 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 2>game on TV at a friend's house and they ask

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:01.440
<v Speaker 2>you to stand for the nat anthem, do you do it?

0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Has that ever happened to you? I'm confused by the

0:50:05.600 --> 0:50:10.640
<v Speaker 1>question because obviously, if you're watching the game, the people

0:50:10.680 --> 0:50:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that are being broadcast on your television are being asked

0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to stand for the national anthem right at the game.

0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:19.879
<v Speaker 1>So is he asking do you stand along with those

0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:23.040
<v Speaker 1>folks that are on TV? Or is he saying literally

0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that the friend is asking the other friends at the

0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:29.319
<v Speaker 1>house to stand for the national anthem. Yeah, I think

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what it is that has never happened to me before.

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I was going to.

0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Say, if maybe that does happen, and I accept that

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:42.280
<v Speaker 2>it's possible that it happens, that would be so strange

0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:42.520
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not taking a stand

0:50:45.000 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 1>for or against it. I'm just saying that would be

0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:48.759
<v Speaker 1>that's that's weird. It seems that it's weird. It does

0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:49.319
<v Speaker 1>seem weird.

0:50:49.600 --> 0:50:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's go one more question, one more last one.

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:56.320
<v Speaker 2>You choose ty Tye's choice.

0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.359
<v Speaker 1>All right, Dan, let's go out on a high note here,

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:04.359
<v Speaker 1>just for you. Let's go to chuck. He says, if

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you had time for only one meal, and you're steering

0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:12.960
<v Speaker 1>at a barbecue shack, a diner, a burger slash, fries joint,

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a taco truck, and a deli subshop. So you got

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like five options here, the barbecue, chicken, diner, chicken shack.

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, like six options here? Which do you choose?

0:51:24.280 --> 0:51:27.759
<v Speaker 1>And why assume that each is an elite version of

0:51:27.760 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 1>its genre? Mm hmmm hmmm. Which direction you go? And again,

0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:35.960
<v Speaker 1>your choices are barbecue, a diner, a burger joint, a

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:41.320
<v Speaker 1>taco truck, a sub shop, and a chicken shack. Six options, Dan.

0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:44.719
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to limit. Well, so we need to

0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:48.799
<v Speaker 2>know why we're short on time. Are we heading to

0:51:49.120 --> 0:51:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a big business meeting? Are we going to pick up

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:54.040
<v Speaker 2>a child at soccer practice?

0:51:54.239 --> 0:51:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:51:54.400 --> 0:51:55.719
<v Speaker 2>What is what is the time crime.

0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to catch Are you trying to catch

0:51:57.400 --> 0:51:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a flight?

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's say that. Let's see you're trying to catch

0:52:01.280 --> 0:52:05.120
<v Speaker 2>a flight. You're going to be somewhere where physical discomfort

0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:07.000
<v Speaker 2>will be enhanced.

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:11.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think if that is the context, you need

0:52:11.960 --> 0:52:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to veer away from the taco truck. Oh right, I

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:18.000
<v Speaker 1>love tacos. Tacos are one of my favorite things. But

0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:22.320
<v Speaker 1>taco before any kind of flight is that's a recipe

0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:29.239
<v Speaker 1>for digestive disaster. Disagree, disagree, but continue. So I rule

0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>out taco truck in that in that little world. I

0:52:33.640 --> 0:52:37.400
<v Speaker 1>rule out barbecue in that world because again, could be

0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:41.560
<v Speaker 1>stomach issues following barbecue. Love, barbecue could be stomach issues.

0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I also rule out the burger. The burger can bring

0:52:45.000 --> 0:52:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on some stomach issues that narrow. Don't worried about your intestines.

0:52:49.040 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I am worried. I'm on a flight. I know you

0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:54.760
<v Speaker 1>know what happens when you go up and I'm pressing

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:57.520
<v Speaker 1>changes to your stomach purely, but.

0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's say purely out of taste. Your stomach is fine,

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:02.840
<v Speaker 2>but you you know you'll have this food sitting in

0:53:02.840 --> 0:53:04.000
<v Speaker 2>your stomach for a long time.

0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The pressure does weird things. I'm veering away from those

0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:13.160
<v Speaker 1>three and I'm picking from the diner, the sub shop,

0:53:13.239 --> 0:53:15.960
<v Speaker 1>or the chicken shock. Those are all a little bit.

0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Fried chicken is just super mellow in there. It's more

0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 1>mellow than a taco truck.

0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Dan Oh totally disagree. There's nothing deep fried about it.

0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I am going to go very conservative here. If I'm

0:53:27.120 --> 0:53:31.080
<v Speaker 1>going on the flight, and I probably go either subshop

0:53:31.200 --> 0:53:31.760
<v Speaker 1>or the diner.

0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Diner can be pretty greasy. You get a what a

0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:40.800
<v Speaker 2>patty melt, some steak fries. Going diner or subshop diner.

0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You got options, though You're not pigeonholed into fried chicken

0:53:44.280 --> 0:53:47.600
<v Speaker 1>or a taco or something that could really helping stomach.

0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:49.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is not a shock. I'm doing taco

0:53:49.800 --> 0:53:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and not thinking twice. I'm getting variety. I can control

0:53:52.480 --> 0:53:56.759
<v Speaker 2>portions and starch and heft and greasiness depending on which

0:53:56.800 --> 0:54:00.440
<v Speaker 2>meat I get. Oh, the variables are so asked with

0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the taco. If I want pastor if I want chicken,

0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 2>if I want to eat lighter, I can do like

0:54:04.000 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 2>a veggie taco of some kind. I think you've got

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a layer of grease with the chicken shack, You've have

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:11.040
<v Speaker 2>a layer of grease with the diner, layer of grease

0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:14.120
<v Speaker 2>with burger fries. There's there's a hef to barbecue that's

0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:17.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty difficult to avoid unless you get like turkey, which

0:54:17.360 --> 0:54:20.680
<v Speaker 2>is you know, barbecue. Turkey's fine, but I think it's

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:21.319
<v Speaker 2>taco for me.

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:25.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, we disagree, We disagree to close out the show.

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to everyone who wrote in via social media.

0:54:29.360 --> 0:54:31.400
<v Speaker 1>As we said, the next one of these we do

0:54:31.480 --> 0:54:35.200
<v Speaker 1>at the end of March, let's do a reddit only

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:40.239
<v Speaker 1>yeah version ready. We've got a very lively subreddit out

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:43.240
<v Speaker 1>there at reddit dot com, slash r slash solid Verbal

0:54:43.560 --> 0:54:48.480
<v Speaker 1>don't forget. You can also find us out there on Facebook,

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:53.960
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter, on Instagram. We are about set to start

0:54:54.000 --> 0:54:57.120
<v Speaker 1>working on a new version of Solid verbal dot com,
