Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal coll that for me.
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 2: I want to be happy.
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for day?
Speaker 2: Edith State is that woo woom?
Speaker 1: And Dan and.
Speaker 3: Tie welcome back to the solid verbal boys and girls.
Speaker 3: My name is Ty Hildenbrand joining me over there, beautiful
Speaker 3: New York City. Still a bachelor another week and a half.
Speaker 3: His name is Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good, Ty. The sun is it's the warmest
Speaker 2: day in a long time out right now, I.
Speaker 3: Think all right out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's feeling good. We used to celebrate skirt Day.
Speaker 2: But now that we are mature adults at old maure adults, Yes,
Speaker 2: enthusiastically as we did in like two thousand and nine,
Speaker 2: life is good.
Speaker 1: Ty, it is.
Speaker 2: We did bathroom medicit last week. Yeah, solidverbal dot com
Speaker 2: Espanation dot com. I want to associate espionation dot com
Speaker 2: with our decision to talk bathroom Meticut for forty minutes.
Speaker 1: Not much in the way of news.
Speaker 2: No, it's me, but you know what, Ty, I still
Speaker 2: think we can have a conversation about college football and beyond.
Speaker 3: We can so the show last week actually went over. Okay,
Speaker 3: I was surprised by that. I didn't know how that
Speaker 3: would go over, but the content seemed to resonate. We
Speaker 3: actually got a bunch of follow up emails from folks
Speaker 3: who have their own situations that I'm sure at some
Speaker 3: point we'll get into and discuss a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Would you say the listeners metabolized it nicely, Its digested well.
Speaker 3: It agreed with people more than I expected.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I felt like they looked at it as a
Speaker 2: regular thing.
Speaker 3: But as you know, you can find us iTunes, dot com,
Speaker 3: soliverbal if you want to subscribe now, and what they're
Speaker 3: calling Apple Podcasts Dan also on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all
Speaker 3: the normal social media hotspots. Okay, yeah, full disclosure, and
Speaker 3: I told you this. We're all friends here. I woke
Speaker 3: up from a four minute nap that's great, about eight
Speaker 3: minutes ago, so I'm still quasi in that waking state
Speaker 3: of things. Don't draw attention to it, Ty, You're strong.
Speaker 3: I actually have no idea what this show is about today.
Speaker 3: You put yourself in charge of I did putting this
Speaker 3: show's content together. I am coming at this cold off
Speaker 3: the bench. If it shows, I apologize in advance, but
Speaker 3: I'm excited to talk college football. I'm assuming that's what
Speaker 3: we'll be doing today.
Speaker 2: Yes, sort of, Yeah, yeah, we have some college football
Speaker 2: things to discuss. I mean, there's recruiting things happening all
Speaker 2: over the place. Ohio State keeps getting big recruits. There's
Speaker 2: some proposed rule changes with letting red shirts perhaps play
Speaker 2: up to four games, including a bowl game, which I
Speaker 2: think makes pretty good.
Speaker 3: Stun like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that if most, if not all bowl
Speaker 2: traditional bowl games, non playoff games are exhibition ish, I
Speaker 2: don't see a problem in seeing what you know a
Speaker 2: red shirt freshman quarterback can do against a live defense.
Speaker 2: I think that seems reasonable enough. There have been discussions
Speaker 2: about adding assistant coaches and defining better defining assistant coaches
Speaker 2: in the wake of so many schools using analysts to
Speaker 2: help out with things behind the sort of.
Speaker 3: A backdoor assistant coach type rule. Have they done anything
Speaker 3: about targeting?
Speaker 2: I have not seen anything about targeting, which doesn't mean
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened. But I'm getting married in a week
Speaker 2: and a half time. I gotta tell you, I'm not
Speaker 2: seen a lot of targeting stuff, not focused on targeting,
Speaker 2: right okay, but here to me is the story of stories,
Speaker 2: and it's not a news story, but it is the
Speaker 2: completion of an ongoing story for a long time. I
Speaker 2: got a lot of pleasure out of Settle make Settle,
Speaker 2: a lot of g rated pleasure out of making fun
Speaker 2: of and poking at at Charlie Weiss and noted as
Speaker 2: did I, yes, so I don't.
Speaker 1: Did you read there was a Charlie Weiss.
Speaker 2: Feature I think in ESPN a year or two ago
Speaker 2: about like what he's been up to these past few
Speaker 2: years since leaving Kansas.
Speaker 3: He's living the American dream.
Speaker 2: He is doing, you know, it's it's not necessarily his doing.
Speaker 2: It could be a really good agent. But he has
Speaker 2: made so much money not doing all that much. I
Speaker 2: think in his career as a head coach he has
Speaker 2: made something like sixty four million dollars sounds about right,
Speaker 2: including the buyouts, So including the buyouts from Notre Dame
Speaker 2: in Kansas. He was only at Florida, I believe for
Speaker 2: a year, but as a head coach, buyout salary sixty
Speaker 2: four million dollars, and most importantly, I think the final
Speaker 2: number with Notre Dame, which they paid out over a
Speaker 2: certain number of years was something like nineteen million dollars.
Speaker 2: Does that sound right, yep, which is also roughly the
Speaker 2: NBC deal A year of the NBC deal, So I
Speaker 2: guess that worked out in some sort of way.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: But I think it's time, upon further reflection, to sort
Speaker 2: of celebrate the genius of the Charlie Weiss operation of
Speaker 2: being on an up but mostly down head coach. He
Speaker 2: did have a couple of years there that you were
Speaker 2: excited about him as your head coach two thousand and
Speaker 2: five and six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're high times now if I remember correctly. And
Speaker 3: this is really testing the limits of my brain here
Speaker 3: after awaking from a short slumber. But I believe he
Speaker 3: lost both the Fiesta and Sugar Bowls in his first
Speaker 3: two seasons.
Speaker 1: But year one I.
Speaker 3: Believe went nine and three, Year two ten and three.
Speaker 3: The first two years were what doomed him because ultimately
Speaker 3: he set the bar so high that the only way
Speaker 3: he could continue to kind of cap sure that mystique
Speaker 3: was to keep winning more games. And he recruited well, right,
Speaker 3: He recruited well at skill positions, right, But where he
Speaker 3: didn't recruit well or in the trenches defensively, he couldn't
Speaker 3: put together a full team schematically on offense, it was
Speaker 3: it was all okay defense, he could never get it together.
Speaker 3: And I think it was seven. I'm looking at it now,
Speaker 3: oh seven, Yes, went three and nine, eight, seven and six,
Speaker 3: two thousand and nine, six and six. So from that
Speaker 3: ten to three season on it was sort of a
Speaker 3: downward spiral. He couldn't recapture that magic and that was
Speaker 3: ultimately his undoing. So yeah, it was an interesting little
Speaker 3: run there.
Speaker 2: Do you think that because when he was at Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: people enjoyed making fun of him. In Notre Dame, the
Speaker 2: decided schematic advantage, the fact that he was like this
Speaker 2: NFL guy who tutored Tom Brady's a Bill Belichick guy
Speaker 2: coming to college and he's going to you know, not
Speaker 2: necessarily a revolutionize, but he's going to dominate all the
Speaker 2: resources of Notre Dame. And so he is this figure
Speaker 2: that is sort of made fun of and everybody liked
Speaker 2: it when Notre Dame was failing under him. And then
Speaker 2: everything sort of shifts when he's done coaching Florida Kansas
Speaker 2: I think it was with Kansas City one year, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then goes to Kansas and everything sort of shifts
Speaker 2: and now he's sort of appreciated in a very strange
Speaker 2: way for getting all of this money from Notre Dame especially,
Speaker 2: but also Kansas. Do you think there is another or
Speaker 2: even an active school and coaching situation that is currently
Speaker 2: sort of hated that could be turned into a positive
Speaker 2: thing because the coach seemed to get so much money
Speaker 2: out of them as Oh my god, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: because I think I think it's like a perfect storm.
Speaker 3: People definitely still look at that situation and get the
Speaker 3: warm fuzzies thinking about what Weiss was able to pull
Speaker 3: off just as a employee, but as a coach. Conversation goes,
Speaker 3: I don't know where else you could try and even
Speaker 3: compare that type of situation. Has anything come to mind
Speaker 3: for you?
Speaker 2: Well, there are certain coaches, I think and schools that
Speaker 2: are naturally disliked outside of those schools. So like Jim
Speaker 2: Harbaugh and Michigan people seem to like rooting against Michigan
Speaker 2: on a certain level because of the Michigan man thing,
Speaker 2: and you know, the sort of looking down factor that
Speaker 2: Michigan people have the reputation of, and Jim Harbaugh coming
Speaker 2: in from the NFL and you know, demanding all of
Speaker 2: this attention, with all of his you know, supposed antics whatever.
Speaker 2: But I don't think it would be necessarily justified in
Speaker 2: him getting paid a ton of money because he did
Speaker 2: accomplish a ton in the NFL and in college with Stanford.
Speaker 3: So ultimately, what you're talking about then is you're asking me,
Speaker 3: is there another wise situation out there?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Is there somebody who is generally viewed negatively at a
Speaker 2: school that is generally viewed negatively that if he were
Speaker 2: able to extract a good amount of money as a buyout,
Speaker 2: he would looked at he would be looked at as favorably.
Speaker 2: Now this is also to say, people that we know
Speaker 2: and that we've read, who have spent a lot of
Speaker 2: time with Charlie Weiss think he's like a hilarious, sarcastic,
Speaker 2: likable dude, right right, And just being an arrogant coach
Speaker 2: does not prevent you from being also sarcastic and likable
Speaker 2: outside of football. So I sort of appreciate that. And
Speaker 2: there was like the story a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: that every year when they get the check from Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: it's generally it was like Christmas Eve or something like
Speaker 2: that that they would have like a really nice dinner
Speaker 2: him and his wife or him and his family, and
Speaker 2: they would toast a Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's definitely a quality to it where
Speaker 3: he can play both sides of the coin, the whole
Speaker 3: Notre Dame aspect, and his mannerisms while he was there,
Speaker 3: like I said, represented all the reasons why people don't
Speaker 3: like Notre Dame. Now that he's out, now that he's
Speaker 3: living off the lamb essentially and still getting paid or
Speaker 3: was still getting paid, I think it's like a last
Speaker 3: shot at Notre Dame that people can really hit their
Speaker 3: wagons to and get a smile out of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's you know, Urban Meyer is somewhat
Speaker 2: unlikable to people around successful.
Speaker 1: He's been successful.
Speaker 2: Nick Saban obviously is unlikable, has been extremely successful. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's anybody who has a personality that right
Speaker 2: off the bat rubbed people the wrong way fair, not
Speaker 2: at a place that people like rooting against. I would
Speaker 2: say the closest that we had perhaps come to it
Speaker 2: until he succeeded on a big level, which only made
Speaker 2: people dislike him even more outside was Pete Carroll at USC.
Speaker 2: People in the SEC, well, people that rooted for SEC
Speaker 2: teams and root for SEC teams hated Pete Carroll at USC.
Speaker 3: Carol's won.
Speaker 2: But I would say this just with Pete Carroll. You know,
Speaker 2: LSU fans hated USC and Pete Carroll Alabama, you know,
Speaker 2: all the fans in the SEC of the big schools.
Speaker 2: But I think there was a deep seated almost jealousy
Speaker 2: that their sport, you know, the South and college football
Speaker 2: was being played on as high a level in Hollywood,
Speaker 2: by the beach and getting you know, all these celebrities
Speaker 2: on the sideline. Their sport was being co opted and
Speaker 2: made to be so much more fun by this fun coach,
Speaker 2: and that just brought it out of them. So I
Speaker 2: don't think he as a person was nearly as unlikable
Speaker 2: publicly as Charlie weis.
Speaker 3: On a much much smaller scale. Yeah, there was a
Speaker 3: hint of that before last season. As it relates to
Speaker 3: James Franklin. James Franklin, I mean you're more local to that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: more local. Like I said, it's more of a hyper
Speaker 3: local scenario. Yeah, but Franklin is so counter to the
Speaker 3: past fifty years of Penn State football and Certainly during
Speaker 3: the Christian Hackenberg era, the way that went down, it
Speaker 3: did not look promising. Twenty sixteen obviously turned things around.
Speaker 3: He's got a lot more slack now and people have
Speaker 3: definitely bought more into his system. But through the first
Speaker 3: two years, at least the way things played out on
Speaker 3: pen Live comment threads and message boards, people were very
Speaker 3: down on James Franklin, and there were a lot of
Speaker 3: folks who wanted to see him out as football coach
Speaker 3: and thought maybe he was stealing money from the program, right, sure,
Speaker 3: So yeah, wow, tough question.
Speaker 1: I just don't think.
Speaker 2: People from Pennsylvania recognize how difficult it is to win
Speaker 2: nine games at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 3: No, they don't. They don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely not. No, you're right, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: But I really don't see a scenario that at all
Speaker 2: compares to Because Brian Kelly is not super liked. I
Speaker 2: would say it's fair to say he blames other people
Speaker 2: at times for perhaps things he should take.
Speaker 3: He has unlikable qualities, but he has had far far
Speaker 3: more success at the college level than Weiss ever did.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just had more years and you know,
Speaker 2: came up through the college level but yeah, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to think of Brian Kelly right now. So let's say
Speaker 2: burns out, you know, the Notre Dame goes seven to
Speaker 2: five and that's just not good enough this fall and
Speaker 2: doesn't get hired by an NFL team, takes another job,
Speaker 2: you know who knows where it, like Pitt or something
Speaker 2: in three years and is fine but nothing special. But
Speaker 2: it comes out that part of his buyout with Notre
Speaker 2: Dame is Charlie Weiss esque. Do you think people have
Speaker 2: that same reaction now? I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3: I know. Weiss was such a different scenario because he
Speaker 3: was almost build being a Notre Dame grad, he was
Speaker 3: buildings like the savior for the program, right. Brian Kelly
Speaker 3: came in at a time where they they needed someone
Speaker 3: to stabilize the ship and rebuild from the ground up.
Speaker 3: But he was never billed at the savior. I think
Speaker 3: he was billed more as the guy who wanted the
Speaker 3: job the most right and someone who came in who
Speaker 3: was a solid coach at the college level, who could
Speaker 3: come in and make a difference. But there's just nothing
Speaker 3: in my mind that compares. There are plenty of scenarios
Speaker 3: out there where I think a fan base, or you know,
Speaker 3: everyone outside of a fan base might root for a
Speaker 3: Jim Horball, like you said, to fail for their own
Speaker 3: personal reasons, but nothing to the Weis's extent.
Speaker 2: Fair and Charlie West he is in Florida, just sort
Speaker 2: of hanging out.
Speaker 3: I believe so at this point, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So do you and I listen.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give anything away as for your
Speaker 2: day job, but I think it's fair to say that
Speaker 2: your day job is not a job in which you
Speaker 2: will be coming into nineteen million dollars.
Speaker 3: Probably probably not. I don't know what the bonus situation
Speaker 3: is going to be this coming year, but no sure
Speaker 3: signs would point to know.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about what you'd spend that kind of
Speaker 1: lump sum on?
Speaker 3: Well, if we go the super Troopers route, I'd buy
Speaker 3: a nineteen million dollar car. Otherwise, Wow, nineteen million is.
Speaker 2: So here's what I'm going to say. You can't spread
Speaker 2: it over anything. So I'm going to say, like you
Speaker 2: have to, you can buy a nineteen million dollar house,
Speaker 2: which is pretty tough to do in Allentown.
Speaker 1: I've done the right.
Speaker 3: I could buy the city of Allentown for nineteen million.
Speaker 2: Do you know how many I did the research. How
Speaker 2: many homes in Allentown are currently listed? I looked on
Speaker 2: a couple of different real estate sites for more than
Speaker 2: one million.
Speaker 3: Dollars in in Allentown.
Speaker 2: In Allentown, on a couple different sites, I think I
Speaker 2: use Zillo.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, uh.
Speaker 2: Twenty zero okay, there is a super nice house listened
Speaker 2: for like nine to fifty Okay. So I tried to
Speaker 2: figure out how you could spend nineteen million dollars in Allentown.
Speaker 1: It's very difficult.
Speaker 3: I could buy every Yakos, Yeah you could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you could buy like every apartment building in
Speaker 2: the greater Lehigh Valley, and you probably wouldn't get to
Speaker 2: nineteen million. But I looked it up, and if you
Speaker 2: were to, so you have to by land. You've got
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty acres for like a million and
Speaker 2: a half, just not that much, all things considered. Million
Speaker 2: and a half, you buy your million dollar house, nine
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five thousand, whatever, you buy one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty acres. I looked up how much it would
Speaker 2: cost to build a water park, not for yourself overall,
Speaker 2: like major major slides, tie commercial slides for like one
Speaker 2: of those slides that has four different like tunnels and
Speaker 2: outlets and a pool and.
Speaker 1: Everything like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lazy, you're talking, you're talking. Oh yeah, all of
Speaker 2: these things. The upper level that has multiple slides in
Speaker 2: the same structure is about ninety grand. Oh wow, So
Speaker 2: you'd have if you bought twenty five of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and just built a mega built a mega water park
Speaker 2: and discounting insurance and you know all the stuff that
Speaker 2: goes along with and employees and everything. But you're talking
Speaker 2: about the better part of like five million dollars for
Speaker 2: the land.
Speaker 3: You could build an ARC for nineteen million here.
Speaker 2: Yes, well you can, only it's only like five million.
Speaker 2: You'd have to become a water park baron.
Speaker 3: There's already a water park here though. That's a problem.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 3: Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom? Do you think it could
Speaker 3: be improved upon? I don't know. I haven't been there
Speaker 3: since I was like eight.
Speaker 1: Are you a water park person?
Speaker 3: Generally speaking? I am. Yeah, I'm more water park than
Speaker 3: I am you know, just general theme park.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Do you wear like the water socks?
Speaker 2: I haven't been a water park and wadeck with socks
Speaker 2: now I'm going to a wedding in Palm Springs camera
Speaker 2: guy Dave's wedding, Okay, in the middle of December, and
Speaker 2: there's a really good water park. I think it's going
Speaker 2: to be too cold, but it is very I looked
Speaker 2: up what nineteen million dollars gets you in New York.
Speaker 2: We've done this experiment with another price point in the past.
Speaker 2: That would be like a two bedroom apartment, wouldn't it
Speaker 2: You can do You can do better than a two
Speaker 2: bedroom apartment. You can move into an old I'm gonna
Speaker 2: send this to you right now, Ty. Yeah, you can
Speaker 2: move into the old police station or police headquarter like
Speaker 2: the Ghostbusters. Click that link I just sent you and
Speaker 2: tell me what you think.
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1: It's a six bedroom place. It's pretty huge.
Speaker 2: You can get an ocean front property in Laguna Beach,
Speaker 2: which I.
Speaker 1: Feel like you have ties to.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, you can.
Speaker 2: Get a year of Eli Manning's time and efforts. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's attractive. You can get a Gulf
Speaker 2: Stream G two eighty.
Speaker 3: Again we're talking about for Charlie Weiss's Yes, earnings here nice.
Speaker 2: So I can't I can't accept you saying well, I'd
Speaker 2: get a house here, I'd get a house there. I'd
Speaker 2: get a house here, I get these cars. No, I'm
Speaker 2: talking lump almost like Brewsters millions and one shot purchase.
Speaker 3: The boring answer would be to buy some sort of
Speaker 3: like business that you think is going to do well,
Speaker 3: something that you.
Speaker 2: Can Okay, So what kind of business do you think
Speaker 2: you could go into and succeed within?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean my skills are pretty limited, Dan.
Speaker 1: Are you buying like thirty thirty Hardy's.
Speaker 3: Is there a nineteen million dollar podcasting building out there?
Speaker 3: Because it's really all I know at this stage in life? Fair?
Speaker 3: Could we buy the Shutdown full cast for nineteen million?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we could buy fifty Shutdown full casts.
Speaker 2: I think I go first class in like the craziest
Speaker 2: ways around the world.
Speaker 3: Would you buy a jet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can buy a lear jet. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that takes you across.
Speaker 3: Here's here's the thing. I flew Private once.
Speaker 1: I've never flown private.
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you, Dan, I flew it once,
Speaker 3: and that is definitely the first thing I'd do if
Speaker 3: I came into a gazillion dollars right, because the experience
Speaker 3: just doesn't compare to the commercial experience. It's way way better.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people I know who would
Speaker 3: buy a boat, right. The problem for me is I
Speaker 3: don't live near water, So nineteen million dollars for me
Speaker 3: not so much. Are there any websites worth nineteen million
Speaker 3: that we could buy and like bolt onto solid verbal
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 2: I feel like we could buy Netscape. Yeah, the rights
Speaker 2: to Netscape for nineteen million dollars. This is a very
Speaker 2: difficult busz this oriented question.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I would just first class around the world
Speaker 2: for I mean first class. By that, I mean like
Speaker 2: flying private around the world, going to different places for
Speaker 2: like a full year. Okay, and just spend it like crazy. Uh,
Speaker 2: Charlie White, it's not doing that. No, what's he doing?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I think you're just hanging out in Florida. I have
Speaker 2: the list.
Speaker 3: By the way, the estimated mortgage for this home you
Speaker 3: sent me is sixty eight thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not bad, right, Yeah, Okay, Okay, So I
Speaker 2: have a list of and this has been it hasn't
Speaker 2: been updated since all of the college football coaches where
Speaker 2: data is available, tax data whatever. So the amount of
Speaker 2: their buyouts of these college football coaches. For example, Nick
Speaker 2: Saban is listed here as twenty three point two million dollars,
Speaker 2: but he just signed some sort of extension recently and
Speaker 2: got a crazy raise, so I don't think it's reflected
Speaker 2: in the numbers. So I'm going to give you numbers,
Speaker 2: and I'm obviously going to tell you where they coach.
Speaker 2: And you have to tell me what is the most
Speaker 2: attractive combination of number and you know expense and you
Speaker 2: know the pleasure of living in this place, all right,
Speaker 2: So you can get You can get twenty three million
Speaker 2: dollars and live in Tuscaloosa, Okay. You get fourteen million
Speaker 2: dollars in Phoenix, fifteen million dollars in Fayetteville, eight million
Speaker 2: dollars in Auburn. You can get twenty million dollars in Clemson,
Speaker 2: you know, Greenville area. You can get nine million dollars
Speaker 2: in Gainesville, thirty three million dollars in Tallahassee, six million
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, six million in Houston, nineteen million dollars in Champagne, Illinois,
Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars in Iowa City. Just stop me
Speaker 2: when something sounds really attractive to you. Lexington, Kentucky and
Speaker 2: fourteen million dollars Louisville and thirteen million and Arborn twenty five.
Speaker 2: Maybe Phoenix and fourteen that's not bad. That's the one
Speaker 2: that that's the one that's resonating right now. Yeah, Phoenix
Speaker 2: has secretly bad people like a it's not a great
Speaker 2: like populous. I would say it's super young with college kids, but.
Speaker 3: Have a market. We have a market in Phoenix. Oh.
Speaker 2: I love I love the locals, but people you get
Speaker 2: a lot of like New York and Chicago trash ending
Speaker 2: up in Phoenix. Lincoln, Nebraska and six million dollars. And
Speaker 2: this is under the presumption that you have to stay
Speaker 2: here Norman, Oklahoma. Bob Soup is already trying to get
Speaker 2: the hell out of Norman, Oklahoma. I think he just
Speaker 2: bought five million dollars of real estate in Chicago, Columbus,
Speaker 2: Ohio and twenty seven million dollars. I'm just going to
Speaker 2: scroll down to the the letter you. UCLA will give
Speaker 2: you fifteen million dollars, and USC is not on here
Speaker 2: because it's a private school. I think that's the move.
Speaker 2: It doesn't go as far though, fifteen million dollars in LA.
Speaker 2: Here's my question to you. Sixteen million in Seattle.
Speaker 3: That's not bad. Here's my question to you, please tomorrow,
Speaker 3: you get nineteen million dollars. You're a successful to some
Speaker 3: degree college football coach, successful enough to get an eight
Speaker 3: figure buyout, right, right? Are you working another day in
Speaker 3: your life? I think I'm only doing what I want
Speaker 3: to do. I think that goes without saying. So if
Speaker 3: I'm getting nineteen million dollars, and are we presuming taxes? Sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm getting nineteen million dollars and there's a
Speaker 2: good chance I'm either going to live in New York
Speaker 2: or LA. I'm from LA. I currently live in New York,
Speaker 2: which doesn't go particularly far if you are going to
Speaker 2: be very wealthy. That's like a nice lunch in New York, Right,
Speaker 2: it's exactly right. No, I'd probably move somewhere else. Yes,
Speaker 2: I would work, but like two days a week doing
Speaker 2: what I want to do.
Speaker 1: We'll do.
Speaker 2: We'll do two shows a week instead of one.
Speaker 1: Are you working now? How are you spending your time?
Speaker 3: Ty? No, I don't know. I need structure, though, I
Speaker 3: know that, Okay, I need some kind of structure otherwise
Speaker 3: I come off the rails. But I need something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe it's the way maybe two shows a week would
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 2: Have you seen it's only been up for like a week.
Speaker 2: Have you seen any of the new season and Master
Speaker 2: of None?
Speaker 3: No, not yet.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 2: That's what I think I would do. This maybrobably the problem,
Speaker 2: and I put the problem in quotes, but the difficulty
Speaker 2: in Have you seen the first season A Master?
Speaker 3: I've seen most of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So when the second season opens up, he's
Speaker 2: living in Italy learning how to make pasta.
Speaker 1: That's his life.
Speaker 2: He's just hanging out in Italy learning how to make
Speaker 2: pasta because he wants.
Speaker 3: To, because he wants to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you to me, so is hess are even in
Speaker 2: real life, has gone to Italy to just like learn
Speaker 2: how to make pasta and just get away from it all.
Speaker 3: I am told by some friends who are very active
Speaker 3: in the podcasting world that there's a guy who started
Speaker 3: a knitting podcast.
Speaker 1: A knitting podcast.
Speaker 3: Knitting podcast. He had no level of knowledge whatsoever on knitting,
Speaker 3: but he started a podcast and he got very.
Speaker 1: Post This is his adventure learning to knit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got very popular in the knitting world, believe it,
Speaker 3: the knitting counterculture right, so much so that he now
Speaker 3: makes a living going to knitting conferences and running his
Speaker 3: knitting podcast.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 3: I believe it's true. I heard it from a credible source.
Speaker 3: And again, just to reiterate, I did minimal preparation for
Speaker 3: the show. I didn't know what we're going to be
Speaker 3: talking about. But right, the point here being animal, if
Speaker 3: you find an adventure learning situation, you've already got the
Speaker 3: podcasting component.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Perhaps there is the Dan Rubinstein knitting, the Ty Rubinstein
Speaker 3: knitting equivalent out there.
Speaker 1: Hm, did you call yourself Ty Rubinstein?
Speaker 3: I mighto. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I think you did.
Speaker 3: Okay, but you get the point, right, mm hmm. You know,
Speaker 3: could I start a space podcast? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I like the knitting thing because that feels like a
Speaker 2: space that's not really super invited.
Speaker 3: The conferences they pay him money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, that's great.
Speaker 3: If we could do a show where we talk nothing
Speaker 3: about sports, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean we're sort of already going in that direction.
Speaker 3: I mean the whole second half of the show is
Speaker 3: really a tryout for that.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I'd go to Japan, Okay, I would just hanging out
Speaker 2: in Japan for like three months.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about how your suit is going
Speaker 3: to fit you at your wedding. Oh my god perfectly.
Speaker 3: Did you get the Indo Chino suit? You know what, Ty,
Speaker 3: I didn't because what are you doing with your life?
Speaker 3: I'm going to get an Indo Chino suit. I haven't
Speaker 3: yet because the specifications that they go to, the details
Speaker 3: that they go to to get your suit right, it
Speaker 3: takes a little bit. It takes a little bit to
Speaker 3: get it, but it's totally. This is like the anti
Speaker 3: rain on your wedding day. I know this is the
Speaker 3: opposite of good luck. Not going Indo Chino. You know
Speaker 3: how good it knows how good it feels to get
Speaker 3: a suit that is made custom for you. Don't be
Speaker 3: a deadbeat, don't be like Dan. Go to Indo Chino.

Speaker 1: Bucks I got.

Speaker 2: lex Yeah, for my wedding and he couldn't get a
Speaker 2: He has to wear a black suit. I'm not wearing black,
Speaker 2: he has to wear a black suit. And we ended
Speaker 2: up going somewhere else, not Indo Chino, just because we
Speaker 2: were tighter on time than four weeks and suit was
Speaker 2: reasonably priced.
Speaker 1: But then you go to the.
Speaker 3: Tailor, they get you. That's where they get you, and you.
Speaker 2: Don't want it poorly cut up. That price point is great,
Speaker 2: like a good custom fit, not custom, but good like
Speaker 2: custom measurement whatever fit suit for under four hundred bucks
Speaker 2: is an outstanding price point.
Speaker 3: True story here. When I was doing the research trying
Speaker 3: to find suits for my groomsmen, now you know I
Speaker 3: had a fairly big bridal party. Yeah, in my situation,
Speaker 3: I looked into custom suits for the guys. Yeah, because
Speaker 3: I just wanted something that they could use. I had
Speaker 3: no idea how much that kind of thing actually costs,
Speaker 3: and I did at one point talk to a custom
Speaker 3: tailor that's rough Man, who told me it would be
Speaker 3: somewhere in the vicinity of like eight to nine to
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars per suit. And I'm like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 3: my cousin can't afford like that's like a month's rent.
Speaker 3: So no, So three seventy nine is a good price.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, fair enough. So you were saying, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's all about investing ty and we are. God, it's
Speaker 2: mid May, so we have June, July, August, and half
Speaker 2: of May until football season starts. We have about three and
Speaker 2: a half months. So in front of me, I have
Speaker 2: every team that won fewer than five games within a
Speaker 2: Power five conference. Oh boy, So the exercise I'd like
Speaker 2: to do with you, and we can't select our own
Speaker 2: dumb teams that each won four games. We can select
Speaker 2: the each others, but we can't select our own. So
Speaker 2: I'd like to see which of us because we got
Speaker 2: an email I apologize for having in front of me
Speaker 2: right now. We got an email from somebody who is
Speaker 2: swearing up and down that the cursive tie is so real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you loved ole miss.
Speaker 2: They immediately everybody gets hurt, they have a bad season,
Speaker 2: they're under investigation, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: The cursive tie is very real. I have it in
Speaker 1: front of you.
Speaker 3: I can read it off.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, instead of you believing in teams that are
Speaker 2: pretty good and making that leap to great, which you
Speaker 2: have shown year after year that you screw up, you
Speaker 2: love Texas is still Texas. They're bad for like nine
Speaker 2: straight years. Ole Miss has this giant black cloud over
Speaker 2: their heads. You loved Michigan State, you love TCU, just
Speaker 2: black cloud after black cloud that you provide over these teams.
Speaker 2: So what I'm doing is these teams have basically that
Speaker 2: I'm about to list off, kind of hit rock bottom
Speaker 2: or close to it in twenty sixteen. So I'm thinking
Speaker 2: the reverse is potentially true. Okay, It's sort of like
Speaker 2: a negative number times a negative number is a positive number.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you're one of those.
Speaker 2: Negative numbers, and these teams are already in the negative
Speaker 2: in terms of quality at the moment. So I'm saying,
Speaker 2: we have an exercise. We each take three teams, and
Speaker 2: so instead of you believing in a pretty good team,
Speaker 2: by you believing in a bad team. Perhaps that is
Speaker 2: good luck. Who is the one the person that sent
Speaker 2: us the curse of time?
Speaker 3: Gentleman by the name of Kyle, Thank you, Kyle, very
Speaker 3: kind words about the show. And he goes on the
Speaker 3: same ramble that you sort of did. He mentions Old Miss,
Speaker 3: he mentions TCU, mentions even my pessimism for Penn State, right,
Speaker 3: he said He even went so far as to pick
Speaker 3: the opposite of his gut feeling a few weeks into
Speaker 3: the season and picked Virginia on Oklahoma State's homecoming, which
Speaker 3: made for a fun weekend in Stillwater. And he said,
Speaker 3: it just seems remarkable that everything he hated turned to
Speaker 3: gold and everything he liked turned into a turd. And
Speaker 3: then he also throws out the Notre Dame connection, which
Speaker 3: I'm sure we can give it to a little bit here.
Speaker 3: But since what he's saying is what is the general
Speaker 3: opinion of the tie stank and is there any validity
Speaker 3: to the connection, I'll be the first to say, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we joked a lot about the Notre Dame stank. But
Speaker 3: I generally am a year early with teams. In old
Speaker 3: missus case, I've been like ten years early. I want
Speaker 3: all this every year. It never works out to the
Speaker 3: point now where I'm just going to stop mentioning them altogether.
Speaker 3: But in general, I'm about a year year and a
Speaker 3: half early on most of my predictions.
Speaker 2: Gotta tell you, Dan, nobody's stopping dexter mcluster.
Speaker 3: Yeap, Nope.
Speaker 2: So here's the list of teams that won fewer than
Speaker 2: five games in twenty sixteen, and we can't select our
Speaker 2: own teams. We get three choices. We'll go back and forth.
Speaker 2: I will give you the first pick since this game
Speaker 2: is named after you. Yeah, Syracuse, Duke and Virginia from
Speaker 2: the ACC, Iowa State and Kansas from the Big twelve,
Speaker 2: Michigan State, Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue, the Big Ten, Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: Oregon State, and Notre Dame is independent, but we're going
Speaker 2: to bring them Oregon State, Oregon, Ucla, Arizona, Missouri.
Speaker 3: All right, so we're betting on what is this again?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: So we each get to select three teams, and whichever
Speaker 2: the total of the wins of those three teams is higher,
Speaker 2: whoever has that wins?
Speaker 3: Okay, you went entirely too fast. They don't have any
Speaker 3: of those team names, but okay, I'm intrigued by UCLA.
Speaker 3: Josh Rosen coming back healthy to me makes them a
Speaker 3: contender to definitely, they should be over five hundred, right.
Speaker 3: I think the PAC twelve is is a lot tougher
Speaker 3: this year in my new coordinator new coordinators, but you
Speaker 3: would think just by him simply coming back, they should
Speaker 3: be significantly better. So again, I missed the full list
Speaker 3: but Ucla is one to jump off the page to me.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Ucla is in the Pac twelve South.
Speaker 2: Defensively, you know, you have a pretty good defense in
Speaker 2: Colorado and Utah USC you should have a decent defense.
Speaker 2: Arizona schools kind of trash Arizona State with a new defense.
Speaker 2: So there are you know, teams to be exploited there.
Speaker 2: I think Ucla is a.
Speaker 1: Smart pick there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with my first pick, I'm gonna go Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: Okay, explain this one to me.
Speaker 2: Well, if I'm trying to target teams that can win
Speaker 2: seven or eight plus games, I like Notre Dame more
Speaker 2: than Arizona. I like Notre Dame more than Illinois per
Speaker 2: Douing Rutgers. I like them more than Kansas or Iowa State.
Speaker 2: I like them more than Syracuse Duke in Virginia. I
Speaker 2: like them more than Missouri. So just by that, Notre
Speaker 2: Dame new coordinators sort of more difficult to prep for
Speaker 2: early on in the season because you don't know exactly
Speaker 2: what they're going to be running.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the over under is for the
Speaker 2: season for Notre Dame, but realistically eight or nine wins
Speaker 2: doesn't seem super far.
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of poetic justice in you taking
Speaker 3: Notre Dame after all the jokes.
Speaker 2: Ty, I'm a smart investor. I'm a smart investor here.
Speaker 3: When the season starts a Notre Dame is no longer
Speaker 3: four and eight, you guys over there are going to
Speaker 3: run out of content.
Speaker 1: Well, that hurts me personally because I'm gonna lose this game.
Speaker 3: I think Notre Dame's are really smart pick here. Notre
Speaker 3: Dame should be fine. Last year with some sort of
Speaker 3: weird aberration, they might not be playoff fine, but they
Speaker 3: should be. They should be just fine.
Speaker 2: I'm willing to make a peace with Notre Dame not
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this coming year.
Speaker 3: I will I will stay in the Pac twelve with
Speaker 3: my pick, okay, and I'm gonna go Oregon. I'll go
Speaker 3: your team. Perhaps it's an obvious selection, but I like
Speaker 3: Willie Taggart a lot. Defensively, they were a mess, but
Speaker 3: there's enough talent there on offense that it feels to
Speaker 3: me like they should be able to rebuild that situation.
Speaker 3: I feel like they'll be well positioned in the Pac
Speaker 3: twelve North to find a way to win seven eight
Speaker 3: games at a minimum.
Speaker 2: In twenty sixteen, Oregon's SNP plus defensive rating was any
Speaker 2: guess one nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not really good at all.
Speaker 2: That's an efficiency metric, a success right metric that our
Speaker 2: friends at Football Outsiders put together. Bill Connolly's part of that.
Speaker 2: In twenty twelve, Oregon's S and P plus defensive rating was.
Speaker 1: Second. That is incredible.
Speaker 2: That is amazing, and it actually it just speaks that
Speaker 2: organ It has just brought in a lot less in
Speaker 2: the way of defensive talent these past few years. But
Speaker 2: I think they're heading.
Speaker 3: The point is there's nowhere to go but up. Correct,
Speaker 3: there's nowhere to go but up and again. I think
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve is going to be pretty good this year.
Speaker 3: But I like Willie Taggert, I like the talent on offense.
Speaker 3: They're only going to get improved on defense. I'll take Oregon.
Speaker 2: Oregon has Nebraska in Eugene, Wyoming in Laramie against an
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback, and they miss I believe USC on the schedule.
Speaker 2: If if I gave you an over under of seven
Speaker 2: and a half wins for Oregon in twenty seventeen, I'd
Speaker 2: go over. You're happily taking the over. I'm going over here,
Speaker 2: cautiously taking the over. Now I feel pretty good about
Speaker 2: over Okay, be over there, all.
Speaker 3: Right, pick is to me, the pick is to you.
Speaker 3: And just a word of strategy. Okay, Now, there weren't
Speaker 3: a whole lot of teams in like the SEC. Right,
Speaker 3: the one that jumps off the pages. I think Missouri
Speaker 3: that Wassuri you mentioned you're not gonna pick Missouri. Picking
Speaker 3: Missouri would be a dumb pick because you're playing the
Speaker 3: SEC tough schedule.
Speaker 2: So I think you're looking elsewhere. Now, maybe a recent
Speaker 2: two time divisional champion, maybe acc with this pick.
Speaker 1: Possibly.
Speaker 2: I know you're trying to steer me in the direction Tie,
Speaker 2: see you steering. Yeah, I'm going to be even though
Speaker 2: you are steering me. I'm going to be disrespectful Tie.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna take Michigan State. Oh, I'm gonna buy
Speaker 2: extremely low with Michigan State.
Speaker 3: I was gonna go Michigan State if you didn't.
Speaker 1: I'm going to old Michigan State.
Speaker 2: Not because I am a big full believer in sparty
Speaker 2: moving forward, but I feel like talent wise, they have
Speaker 2: the capability to do more than a number of these
Speaker 2: teams on this list.
Speaker 1: It's still not a great.
Speaker 2: Division, but they gave Michigan all they could handle for
Speaker 2: a bit.
Speaker 1: Last year. They were in the Rose Bowl. Recently.
Speaker 2: I like their coaching staff still, and I know there's
Speaker 2: more turn I think there's more turnover at quarterback. But
Speaker 2: even with all of that, ceiling wise, given recent history,
Speaker 2: I'm going sparty. I'm looking at their schedule right now.
Speaker 2: Yes they're at Michigan, Yes they're at Ohio State. Yes
Speaker 2: they have Penn State on their schedule, but they have
Speaker 2: Maryland and Rutgers. Notre Dame is at home, Iowa's at home. Western,
Speaker 2: Michigan's without PJ. Fleck, Bowling Green still without Dino Babers.
Speaker 2: Road games outside of those games aren't the worst Minnesota Northwestern.
Speaker 2: So I feel like we can get to eight wins
Speaker 2: this year and that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so the pick is back to me now, huh,
Speaker 3: pick is back to you? Wow?
Speaker 2: So I can refresh you with teams if you I'm
Speaker 2: looking at standings now, Okay, So I feel like I
Speaker 2: can do this. The herd is thinning very quickly, true,
Speaker 2: very quickly, among teams that we think can get to,
Speaker 2: you know, that level and as is As is the case,
Speaker 2: tie a lot of second year turnarounds. You know, the
Speaker 2: first year is all about establishing culture. Second year is
Speaker 2: all about results, right, Arizona may have a twenty six
Speaker 2: year old quarterback. Oregon State has a very good running
Speaker 2: back and Ryan Nall Syracuse wide open system. Dino Babers
Speaker 2: Duke a very promising young quarterback. What do you whisp about?
Speaker 2: Stop talking?
Speaker 3: What do you think about? Duke?
Speaker 2: One in seven yep in conference last year, finished four
Speaker 2: and eight, recent divisional champ, recent divisional champion. I'm really
Speaker 2: excited about their quarterback situation. HM Daniel Jones a a
Speaker 2: young Romison quarterback. I remember tweets from Bruce Feldman last
Speaker 2: year talking about how he thought there were big things
Speaker 2: in front of him still have, I think a pretty
Speaker 2: good coach. And David Cutcliffe someone who knows how to
Speaker 2: coach offense. And the main factor in this pick for
Speaker 2: me is the fact that other teams on their side
Speaker 2: of the ACC seem like they might be in a
Speaker 2: little bit of.
Speaker 3: A rebuilding mode. All right, let's look at who else
Speaker 3: is on that side of the conference. With Duke, we
Speaker 3: know that Pitt is going to be rebuilding in a
Speaker 3: pretty big way, right. North Carolina loses their quarterback, their quarterback,
Speaker 3: Miami loses their quarter I like Miami this year, but
Speaker 3: Miami loves their quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think that might be bad.
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, who knows. I can never figure out. Georgia Tech.
Speaker 3: Virginia I think is a multi year project. The only team,
Speaker 3: for real, for real that's jumping out at me is
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, and they're starting over.
Speaker 2: I at quarterback as well. By the way, ty on
Speaker 2: that note, O Chared Evans drawd Evans. Yeah, leaving Virginia
Speaker 2: Tech earlier on a draft not a great idea.
Speaker 3: Not a great idea. But there's enough uncertainty in the
Speaker 3: coastal side of the ACC that you could potentially see
Speaker 3: Duke cobbling together a seven win season.
Speaker 2: I could see and listen, Duke has has a lot
Speaker 2: to work on. Five and one. Heading into Florida State,
Speaker 2: they have Northwestern, Baylor, North Carolina, Miami, North Carolina Central.
Speaker 2: I mean things break the right way at North Carolina
Speaker 2: A Virginia I don't know. Yeah, new quarterback for Pitt,
Speaker 2: new quarterback, Virginia Tech, new quarterback. Georgia Tech, Wake Forest
Speaker 2: without Mike Elco. I don't think that's a bad pick.
Speaker 3: Tie, Yeah, okay, So those are my three. I've got UCLA,
Speaker 3: Oregon and Duke.
Speaker 1: Ucla Oregon and Duke.
Speaker 3: Okay, Ty, I'm ready to very strong academic slate as well.
Speaker 1: I am ready to blow your mind. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Iowa State. Oh, good pick.
Speaker 2: I am buying low, I'm buying they were not all
Speaker 2: that far off last year.
Speaker 3: Quick pick. I like that pick.
Speaker 1: You talk about four or.
Speaker 2: Five moments away, you know, A good game against Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: a good game against Kansas State.
Speaker 1: They blow out Texas Tech. This year.
Speaker 2: They have Texas at home on a Thursday night. Yep,
Speaker 2: they have Iowa at home in Alasico, Northern Iowa. They
Speaker 2: go to Norman, they go to Lubbock, they go to Morgantown,
Speaker 2: to Waco, to Kansas State. It's not a great road slate,
Speaker 2: but I think with now their quarterback of the somewhat future,
Speaker 2: Jacob Park. I like Matt Campbell. I like the skill position.
Speaker 2: I like Alan Lazard. I was on the radio with
Speaker 2: our friend Trent Condon in Des Moines earlier today. I
Speaker 2: am hyped about the Clones. Ty, Yeah, I'm sure you
Speaker 2: can hear it in my voice hip hiped about the clones.
Speaker 2: I can see Iowa stay taken home six Yeah, I like.
Speaker 2: I think they're might drive to six team this year.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: So Iowa state, Notre Dame, Michigan State, mister Midwest, and.
Speaker 3: I'm mister PAC twelve. That's true, Pac twelve, And Duke,
Speaker 3: you have good Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: I did his mama.
Speaker 2: Rube's nervous at all, A little stressed, I would say,
Speaker 2: little stressed for the So she's handling the rehearsal dinner.
Speaker 2: My dad will be there, but she's handling the rehearsal
Speaker 2: dinner and the morning after brunch.
Speaker 3: So this is, by the way, a big weekend for
Speaker 3: the solid verbal coming up.
Speaker 1: It is big weekend.
Speaker 3: Because there is a rehearsal feast of some sort, then
Speaker 3: there's the actual wedding, and then there's the after wedding brunch.
Speaker 3: All three events, the solid wife and I will be
Speaker 3: in attendance for those. I love that very excited. I'm
Speaker 3: prepared to give a full verbal report here at some point,
Speaker 3: either with or without you.
Speaker 2: I should tell you, ty, and I'm going to present
Speaker 2: it to you on the show because we're nothing if
Speaker 2: not an authentic show. If you want to speak, if
Speaker 2: you want to say some words the rehearsal dinner, you
Speaker 2: may oh wow. I'm not asking people specifically to speak,
Speaker 2: because that's you know, they want to speak, they can speak.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you right now, if you'd like to
Speaker 2: say a few words, the rehearsal rabbi is looking forward
Speaker 2: to meeting you.
Speaker 3: Is this so?
Speaker 1: This is totally true.
Speaker 2: We had a call with the rabbi on Sunday and
Speaker 2: he said, is TI going to be there?
Speaker 3: I said, really, this is a true story. You're not
Speaker 3: making this true? Wow?
Speaker 2: He said, it's Ti going to be there. I said yes,
Speaker 2: and he was like, oh cool. I listened to some
Speaker 2: of your banter. Well, you know, Dan, I didn't give
Speaker 2: me an opinion of it. I did do the DNA
Speaker 2: test I've got I got in me, so cong welcome aboard.
Speaker 2: There's a chance that I could fit right in there.
Speaker 2: So do you think you will speak?
Speaker 3: Probably not. It is your day, It is not my day.
Speaker 3: We don't need to play on the whole like you know,
Speaker 3: buddy cop thing that we got going on here when
Speaker 3: we do the show. But fair so I'd prefer to
Speaker 3: give you the lime light.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's reasonable. No, everything's I think everything's pretty good.
Speaker 2: The weather's supposed to be nice.
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm really excited.
Speaker 2: The fiance was not super keen on my idea for
Speaker 2: what I want to do during our introduction, like for
Speaker 2: the first time as man and wife kind of thing.
Speaker 2: I had it kind of sketched out. Okay, we'll see
Speaker 2: if that happens. But no real hiccups. I got the
Speaker 2: food's going to be great, Music's going to be great.
Speaker 2: I'm excited. I am ready, and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 2: a little bit nervous for your recap.
Speaker 3: Well you should be, because you were somewhat critical of
Speaker 3: my music selection. I owned that was my only critique.
Speaker 3: You were somewhat critical, Dan, So I'm not only critique.
Speaker 3: But you know what, Ty, I'm not going to handle
Speaker 3: this wedding with kid gloves. I'm going to be honest here.
Speaker 2: I don't just talk the talk. So this is a
Speaker 2: reference to the fact that I said not a big
Speaker 2: fan of Don't Stop Believing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Furthermore, not a big fan of like eighties rock played
Speaker 2: at a wedding for a dance floor it's not a
Speaker 2: rock floor, Tie, it's a dance floor.
Speaker 3: The natural fissure here between you and I is that
Speaker 3: my wedding was much more of the traditional variety and yours,
Speaker 3: based on the hints I've gotten, will be anything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's my doing.
Speaker 3: The difference is here will be highlighted in our style
Speaker 3: of wedding. Yeah, and there will be some criticism. I
Speaker 3: hope you're prepared for that. I hope it doesn't strain
Speaker 3: this relationship. I don't think it will. But we should
Speaker 3: also realize that it's neither one of us is fully in.
Speaker 2: Jar now never. That's the way it works. But no,
Speaker 2: I welcome the critique. I am excited for you and
Speaker 2: solid wife Kate to come out and celebrate.
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I am.
Speaker 2: Do you have anything, you have any plans that you
Speaker 2: want to get done Chicago?
Speaker 3: No, I'm an open book. I'm an open book. I
Speaker 3: can tell you we probably won't be as gung ho
Speaker 3: on the food circuit as you might be. When you
