So, 44 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: by the way, again, thank you to everyone who wrote 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: in I'm going through these now again real time, have 46 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: not had much a chance to prepare. There are some 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: fantastic questions as all. We got six pages of questions here. 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a lot. There's a bunch that came 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: in and not that long a time. And should also 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: point out the solid baby flying six hours across the country, 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: surpassed expectations exactly, take offs, landings, no ear issues, slept 52 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: for like three and a half hours, eight smiled at 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: the flight attendants, which, hey, good. 54 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: Job, buddy. He's better than me. Yeah, way better than you. 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: So let's start with expectations. You are in your old 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: old digs here podcasting digs now in California. I am 57 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: not at mommy agent's house where it all started for me. 58 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: But why don't we delve into some expectations so you 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: put this together. We had the Marie condo thing last week. 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: We got questions about that. Seems like that went over 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: pretty well. People liked it. Yeah, you want to delve 62 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: back into expectations though. Dan a hot topic here in 63 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the college football offseason. Every time we've ever done an 64 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: offseason show, it seems like we harke him back to 65 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: some form of expectations for the season. That lies ahead. 66 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: And by the way, we didn't get to a lot 67 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: of those Mari Condo items that other were worth giving 68 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: away or sparking joy. I'm particularly upset that I didn't 69 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: make a decision about the well worn caricature filled what 70 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: was it the acc at lanth or excuse me, coastal 71 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: shirt with like the character of the giant heads, like 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: you know, when the Detroit Pistons won the en Championship, 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: you had they're all spinning balls on their hands, just 74 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: with the sort of throw back eat success of that division. 75 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: I'm sad I didn't make a decision with that, but 76 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: people seem to like that. But as it relates to expectations, 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: I went through the Power six conferences. 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: That's right, tie. 79 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: Power six okay, being inclusive, very nice. I seeked that sought, 80 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: I think is actually the form of that word. I 81 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: sought out the growers and the lowers, so not growers 82 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: and showers, So the teams that grew in twenty eighteen 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: and the teams that sort of lowered their their Q 84 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: raiding or what we can expect from this team, and 85 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: we saw sort of a lowering of performance. I went 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: through each each conference and decided which teams fit those 87 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: two things, And I think we should go in and 88 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: help to cataract categorize base on the movement of twenty eighteen. 89 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 2: Whether we feel these teams should be classified now given 90 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: how they're currently built. And I'm excluding teams that hired 91 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: new coaches because we just don't have the data points. 92 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: So these teams, are they just not a ball team? Sorry, 93 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: it's just it's hard to see a way that you're 94 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: you're getting to six? 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Are they the annual? Will they won't they five and five? 96 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: Five and six? Playing for eligibility? 97 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: The ross Rachel of college football, like sort of Virginia 98 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: Tech was this past year. 99 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: Are they are they? Yeah? 100 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: Are they perennialble like they're getting a seven? They're they're 101 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: they're at seven. Maybe they'll win eight, maybe they'll win six, 102 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: but they're a pretty healthy seven. Bet Are they a 103 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: comfortable well bowl team with you know, you know, some 104 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: years they're going to go six and six, five and seven, 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: and that's just a standard deviation. And some years, when 106 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: everything breaks right and the quarterback's better than expected, the 107 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: coaches are up and coming growers themselves, maybe they get 108 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: to ten with a couple of big breaks but comfortably eight. 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: So this is this is essentially perception versus reality correct 110 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: with some of these programs. So why don't we start 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: with US secause I know USC is on here and 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: so forth. Nine ten eleven plus Yeah, yeah, USC should 113 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: be a ten plus win team that they're the lower 114 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve. That would be my perception of 115 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: what USC should be. What they will be, though, I 116 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: think is really the open question. That's a big part 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: of the reason why Clay Helton remains ever on the 118 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: hot seat has been the last two years, certainly is 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: going to be from day one this season because if 120 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: USC doesn't get to like at least nine right, like 121 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: right at that point, it feels like they're falling way 122 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: short of what they should be. 123 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: Give me your give me your take, tie you say 124 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: they should be a ten plus win team and or 125 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: ten plus win program. 126 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: Excuse me? So if you. 127 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 2: Combine what they've been in the last five or so years, 128 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: which is on the high end of Pac twelve champion, 129 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: on the low end not making a Bowl game, right, 130 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: and you look at the talent that they've been able 131 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: to bring in develop, you know, either get drafted or 132 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: not get drafted to the NFL coaches available, talent, conference division, whatever. 133 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: What is the biggest reason that you see as USC 134 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: being ten plus? Anything less than that is disappointing? Is 135 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: it a talent thing? Is it that the PAC twelve 136 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: is down thing? Is it that they're just so far 137 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: ahead in terms of infrastructure? 138 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Whatever it is? What is it that? 139 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: Because this is something that like, I think I agree with, 140 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: but then I keep seeing USC seasons and coaches and 141 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: bad presidents and athletic directors, and like, I don't know 142 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: if USC can ever really consistently get out of its 143 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: own way unless they have a high NFL level coach 144 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: like they did in Pete Carroll. 145 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Well, it's certainly a consistency thing on some level, you know, 146 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: because they constantly get the talent, and perhaps under Clay 147 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Hilton they haven't been as good at developing that talent 148 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: as they should be, but they still get it, which 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: leads me to believe that on some level it's a 150 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: coaching thing. How are they not more consistent of a 151 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: program at this point. They've had their struggles along the 152 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: offensive line over the last couple of years. They've had 153 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: some struggles along the defensive line over the last couple 154 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: of years. It seems like at any given point in time, 155 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: a certain element of that team is not firing on 156 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: all cylinders. Skill talent does not seem to be an issue. 157 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: They seem to be fine there, But it's the little 158 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: things that they need to be more consistent in that 159 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: I think can get them to a higher level. 160 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: I am, what are the ratings, the stock ratings whatever, 161 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: bond ratings like standard and Poor's and Moody's and stuff 162 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: like that. Right, you've got it. Maybe this is the 163 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: actual theme of the show. We're like upgrading or docking whatever. 164 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: Because the show last week tidying up was such a 165 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: big hit, we could right now declare it a mixed 166 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: metaphor may and go into investments in April. We could 167 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: In April, we could declare it now, give ourselves enough 168 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: runway to figure it out, and then do a whole 169 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: investment theme show sometime in May where we do that 170 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: kind of kind of We did. 171 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: A mad Money episode that that got a little out 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: of hand, and that's kind of managink we. 173 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: Could do better than that, And I've just come up 174 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: with an idea that we can roll with. But to 175 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: your point, sure, a rating essentially a trust rating is 176 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: what you're talking about here with USC. 177 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: I have USC in my mind as someday they should 178 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: be a ten plus win program. They have enough advantages 179 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: and the conferences not robust enough to consistently challenge them 180 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: week in and week out, that they should be a 181 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: ten plus win program. I am downgrading them to nine plus. 182 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: I am downloading. I am downgrading them to full on good. 183 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 2: They're gonna mostly lose to teams that are on the 184 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 2: same level and maybe throw in one just definitely disappointing loss. 185 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: And why. 186 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm at that point with USC because when I look 187 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: at them, I see them as a jym hobbyist entering 188 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: local weightlifting competitions. We're like, yeah, you're doing well, and 189 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: maybe you're wearing clothing that you shouldn't, like, you're showing 190 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: off guns that aren't fully there, but just know what's 191 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: going on. Know the reality. And USC, to me, with 192 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: administrative and coaching hires, it doesn't look like they're fully 193 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: dedicated to the ruthlessness needed to get to that ten 194 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: plus level. And I don't know why that is, but 195 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: it's hard to look at USC and think this is 196 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: a well oiled machine and that winning ten plus games 197 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: a year is hard, as everybody outside of like Bama, Clemson, 198 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: Ohio State knows, that's a really difficult amount. And I 199 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: see no evidence that USC has put anything in place 200 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: right now over the next three, four or five whatever 201 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: years to say this is where they stand. They're a 202 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: ten plus win program. Maybe if there's an overhaul, but 203 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. Again, the data point to point to 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: right now that says, yeah, they should stumble into ten 205 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: wins no matter what. 206 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: All right, so let me go to another team then, yeah, 207 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: with that logic, how do you feel about the Michigan Wolverines. 208 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about Michigan because there's a 209 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: little bit overlap, right there's a little bit of overlap, 210 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: and I like that the you know included in that 211 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: overlap is going like a definite new direction offensively with 212 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: Michigan hiring Josh Gaddis and USC hiring Graham Harrell. 213 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: But right now Michigan is at least on an uptick. 214 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: They go from going five and four what was it 215 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: in the Big ten two years ago something like that 216 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: to eight and one last year. The defense, there's nothing 217 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: about USC that you can point to as being incredible 218 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: and for ninety percent of Michigan season, their defense was incredible. 219 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: They dominated team in a specific facet of the game. 220 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 2: And so with Michigan, with they don't schedule up all 221 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: the time. I know Notre Dame is sort of back 222 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: on the schedule, whereas USC has had you know, Texas 223 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: and Stanford early on in the season, and you know 224 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: a number of huge Power five programs, whereas Michigan is 225 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: sort of up and down in terms of what they've scheduled. 226 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: Michigan has been excellent at something and there has been 227 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: consistent competence with Michigan that I don't see with USC. 228 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 2: So in terms of trends, even with some offensive questions, 229 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: I think you have to put Michigan above USC in 230 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: saying I understand why they're a ten plus win program 231 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: right now because there's excellent excellence associated with where they 232 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: stand right now. 233 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Well, and there's a lot that you can fall back on. 234 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: In the Michigan case, I agree with you. Jim Harbaugh 235 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: is definitively a better coach than Clay Hilton. You put 236 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: the two coaches in a room, compare resumes, no one 237 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: is taking Hilton over Harball. So that's the first thing. 238 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: Second I don't have Michigan at eleven though. Right Well, secondly, 239 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: you've got the defense. As you said, the offense has 240 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: sort of been a work in progress. Jim Harbaugh is 241 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: trying to address that. They've got plenty of talent. That's 242 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: not an issue. Look at their recruiting class this past year. 243 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Sure recruiting class was demonstrably better than USC's, so you 244 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: got that as well. I just feel like Michigan's in 245 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: a much better place and they're going to continue this 246 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: slow ascent up. Perhaps there's a bit of a void 247 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: now with Ryan Day taking over for urban Meyer. I 248 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: don't care how good he is, he's not Urban Meyer. 249 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: I think that's an opportunity for Michigan. I feel, as 250 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: you do, a lot better about the Wolverine's going to 251 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: do the Trojans at this point. 252 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: I also think, by the way, as for consistency, if 253 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: Clay Helton is fired and Jim Harbaugh decides, see, I'm 254 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: going to take the Lion's job or I don't even 255 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: know what NFL job would be attractive to him, I 256 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: think there is a better chance that Michigan makes the 257 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: right higher to at least flirt with where they've been, 258 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: or at least where they were in twenty eighteen, than 259 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: I do about USC doing it, both because of location 260 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: and because of the administrative dedication in your. 261 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you who 262 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: always argues yeah, the merits of good weather. You're gonna 263 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: tell me that Michigan's a better location than southern California. 264 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: It's a better location for attracting excellent coaches. Yes, okay, 265 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: I think I think an excellent coach is more likely 266 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: to take the Michigan job than the USC job. I'm 267 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: only comparing those two schools. Yeah, I don't know if 268 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: I buy that. Man, Really, I don't know if I 269 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: buy that now. USC still has that glitz and glamour 270 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: to it, even though they've been down for a bit. 271 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: At what point are you going to say, ro I 272 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: don't know about the glitz and glamour anymore. What are 273 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: we going to get to that point where you're gonna like, 274 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: are you going to be the as we mentioned in 275 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 2: the Mari Condo show, wearing the USC cologne that smells 276 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: like a sweaty Brian Cushing? Are you going to pointing 277 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: to peak care I did throw that out and I'm 278 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: still I'm still picking my pints. 279 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: Of it on my on my clothing. Fair Next team, 280 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: Let's stay in the Big Ten. Okay, let's talk about Wisconsin. 281 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: Where are we at with Wisconsin right now? The Alex 282 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: Hornybrook thing admittedly came out of thin air for me. Yeah, 283 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: maybe that had been percolating for a while. Apparently it was, 284 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: but for him to leave Grant it not the strongest 285 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: armed quarterback, maybe not the most accurate, but seem to 286 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: fit that system pretty well. Where are we at with Wisconsin? 287 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: Wisconsin's confusing, We're now what he Paul Chris has been 288 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: there four years and just hit a pretty huge stumbling 289 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: block after year three, and there are reasons for it, 290 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: with quarterback injuries and injuries all over the field, really 291 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: but not necessarily a Big Ten that is lining up 292 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: huge challengers week in and week out, especially in that division. 293 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: And so I think I'm also downgrading Wisconsin a little bit, 294 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: not fully panicking. They went what eight and five last year? 295 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: Seven to five during the regular season and seven wins 296 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: is certainly departure from where they were, but they won 297 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: ten and nine and what eleven and one? I guess 298 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: they went twelve to oh in twenty seventeen, so I 299 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: think they are almost in that nine full on good 300 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: team that they're gonna lose to teams that have more talent. 301 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: They're gonna be in those games, But I'm worried about 302 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: more BYU type games as we go farther into further 303 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: into the Paul christ era, where they just they look 304 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: pretty good, but they give up three and a half 305 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: really dumb plays. And I don't know if it's a 306 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: Jim Leonard thing on defense. I don't know if it's 307 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: a not evolving enough on offense and leaning on their 308 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: sort of power brand too much. But I'm a little 309 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: bit worried that they are taking an understandable but disappointing 310 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: half step back. 311 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 312 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: I mean, so that's nine wins with the ability to 313 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: go ten and two with a break and the ability 314 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: to go seven. 315 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: And five if it's a nightmare again. Yeah, I'm real 316 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: curious to see what ends up happening at the quarterback spot. 317 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't concern me as much at Wisconsin the way 318 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: it would at other schools because they do have that 319 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: power attack that they do rely on, but they get 320 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: Michigan relatively early this year, towards the middle to late 321 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: portion of September, which will be a big test for them. 322 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: They're on the road later in the year at Ohio State. 323 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: They're on the road later in the year against a 324 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: team like a Nebraska, who knows what shape they'll be in. 325 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to expect out of this Wisconsin 326 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: team now. The schedule isn't terrible, to be honest, I 327 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: think they can navigate this, but there are some questions 328 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: and they do need to improve over where they were 329 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: a year ago. So I think I sort of fall 330 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: in line with you. Around the nine win mark feels 331 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: about right to me. 332 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: Important to remember that outside of Illinois, each of the 333 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: teams in the West you have to upgrade in terms 334 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 2: of where they stand competitively. Northwestern has been a stalwart 335 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: of consistency, even with Wisconsin taking a step back. Purdue 336 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 2: for sure has gotten better. Iowa, even though they seem 337 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 2: to go five and four, four and five whatever in 338 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: the Big Ten every year, they's still a tough tough out. 339 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: Nebraska's on the upshot and on the upswing, and Minnesota 340 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: is a team that is certainly getting more dangerous, and 341 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 2: there is a small part of me that's worried that 342 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: Wisconsin built up that ten eleven annual win season threshold 343 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: on a foundation of well, a big ten West kind 344 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: of bad. So a pretty good team might look excellent. 345 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: All right, final one here, Then we're going to get 346 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: to questions where do we stand on the Auburn Tigers. 347 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: That's a good one. And talk about trying to time 348 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: the stock market. Yeah, just when you think you know 349 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: what Auburn's going to do, just when you think they're 350 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: a seven win team, they go out and they win 351 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: ten and vice versa. It's a really tough program to 352 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: try engage. We talked about it on the Tidying Up Show. 353 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: Our Gus mals on Hourglass still sparks Joy, I think 354 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: for both of us. Yeah, trying to figure this thing out. 355 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: But where are we at with Auburn now? Auburn is 356 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: a like if you were going to invest in Auburn football, 357 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: you have to know what you know. You could buy 358 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: it at thirty eighty five a share and oh wow, 359 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: it's up to nine dollars right now, Like, oh it's 360 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: down to seventy six cents. 361 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: What is happening Auburn is it's as if Enron were 362 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: going through all of their issues and then right as 363 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: they're going bankrupt, everybody's going to jail, they discover a 364 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: clean renewable energy source to power everything on the cheap. 365 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: Like what who are you? Auburn? 366 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: Auburn should be a ten plus win program. And I 367 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: say that knowing that they're in the SEC West, which 368 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: is certainly in most years a difficult division to navigate. 369 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: But given their brand and that they've been in and 370 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 2: won national championships within the last decade, I am thinking 371 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: that they are ten plus with Gus Malson and should 372 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: be ten plus with Gus Malson given his offensive reputation, 373 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: considering who they've developed on defense, and considering that they're 374 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 2: one of what like two and a half programs that 375 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: can challenge Alabama annually that should be able to challenge 376 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: Alabama annually. So I am looking at them as ten 377 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: plus with a whole bunch of volatility. And I know 378 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: that sort of gives them two that assigns them to 379 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: sort of expectation points. But I don't know how you 380 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: can do anything different with Auburn. 381 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm in agreement with you there. 382 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: I'm much more confident in staking a claim that Auburn 383 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 2: should be that than usc should be that. 384 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: I think I agree with that. Yeah, I mean, where 385 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: do you stand on them? Eight and five? Last year 386 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: three and five in conference did not go according to plans. 387 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: I think we're both higher on Auburn than they ended 388 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: up finishing throughout the course of the year. Now they 389 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: lose Stidham and I've got questions, But this is the 390 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: kind of year where they win ten games, isn't it. 391 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: It seems like it's every other year with the Auburn shows. 392 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: So I think I'm in agreement with you. By the way, 393 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: this sparked not just joy, but joy the idea of 394 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: the show that we're going to do in May with investing, 395 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I have a great idea for how we're going to 396 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: run this thing. I will lean on Jody with an 397 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: eye heavily. Okay, So yeah, I'm in I'm in agreement 398 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: with you. Generally speaking, Auburn's still got a ton of 399 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: talent during a tough side of the SEC though. That's 400 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: that's what makes this whole thing harder. That's sort of 401 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: the great Barks factor. There's just so much competition on 402 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: that and. 403 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: They schedule well Auburn is a team that's schedules well, 404 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: you know, they recently had Clemson in the non conference 405 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: part of the schedule. They play well, they had Washington 406 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: last year. I think they have Oregon this year. I 407 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 2: know they have Orgon this year in Arlington. So in 408 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: terms of wrenches into that ten plus number, they certainly 409 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: are trying too much like in dodgeball, they're trying to 410 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: avoid those wrenches being thrown at them constantly, and sometimes 411 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: it works, sometimes it doesn't. What was that, Patches o' hulahan. Yeah, Okay, 412 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: which feels like a pretty apt comparison for Auburn. 413 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you're right. 414 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: I think I think there's nothing wrong with expecting a 415 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: lot of Auburn with as much tumultuousness that surrounds the program. 416 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 2: They they are one of the few teams that at 417 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: their peak can play with anybody in the gusmells On era. 418 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: All right, well, Daniel, shall we get to some of 419 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: our questions here that we're sent in by some of 420 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: our loyal overballers. 421 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: You wouldn't even do any American Conference teams though, we'll 422 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: run out of the power six man. All right, let's 423 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: let's just do speed round. Give you give me a 424 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: number quick ones, go ahead, Okay, Syracuse they grew last year. 425 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: What's their number? They're I have them as an eight. 426 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: They're like an eight win team. Yeah. Virginia Tech the 427 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: lower in the ACC. They I trust in justin Filente, 428 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I'll say nine, nine, nine. Yeah, I have them at 429 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: eight as well. With Syracuse. 430 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 2: It's the a SEC. Everybody's everybody. Matt MUSHes together in 431 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: a stew Texas. 432 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: Texas grow ten. 433 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: I think I think you're right. Oh, it's weird to 434 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 2: say it. I think you're at Oklahoma State, a big lower. 435 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: They go three and six in conference last year. 436 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: Eight or nine. I have them as. I have them 437 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: as eight. Yeah. 438 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 2: I'm curious to see what they do with their new 439 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Did a lot of great things at Princeton. Yeah, Cincinnati, 440 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: A lot of people said a year ahead of schedule 441 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: last year with how good they were, especially really good. 442 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: Really good on defense. Nine or ten that seems fair. 443 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think ten with as much talent as there 444 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: as there is in Ohio. Yeah, in that general area, 445 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: and Luke Fickle's connections might worry about ten. Where I 446 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: may downloaded them to nine is how long. Is Luke 447 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: Fickle actually a bearcat? Okay, sure, because I think he's 448 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 2: a name that's going to continue to come up. Navy 449 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 2: a huge lower year, which obviously much the joy of 450 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 2: the Hildenbrand family. 451 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think there. 452 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: I think I haven't met about seven. Yeah, I think 453 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: there's some issues there. 454 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: Seven or eight. 455 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 2: Keny Modololo is looking around too much. It feels like 456 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: his name is coming up too much. Kentucky. You know what, 457 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 2: I took a beating. We took a beat for how 458 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: canded Kentucky. Yeah, and so my my natural proclivity would 459 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: be to say zero here just to rub. 460 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: It in a little more. But let's be bullish on 461 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: Kentucky moving forward. They had a hell of a year. 462 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: They really did did. Perhaps I didn't, Perhaps we didn't 463 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: give them enough credit. 464 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: I think I'm at seven ish, but with a pop 465 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: with like the If they have Ron Baker and Fred 466 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: van Vliet, whichitas you know they have those like four 467 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: fifth year seniors, they're going to be hard to beat. 468 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 2: And I think that's what that team was last year, 469 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: having as much upperclassmen experience as they did. I think 470 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 2: they're seven with a couple of breaks nine plus. But 471 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: I have them as comfortable ball team, which is with 472 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 2: where they've been. I think everybody remembers certain recent eras. 473 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Final team. Roll on you, Bears, Cal Bears. 474 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm down on Kel. 475 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: You're down on Cal. They have a weird infrastructure thing. 476 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 2: Not a lot of money running through No Berkeley. They're 477 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 2: having a lot of financial issues. So the dedication to 478 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: football is I mean, they've added facilities and they've you know, 479 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: justin Wilcox, I think is really good. 480 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: I have done something very well, recovered from the fact 481 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: that I spent an entire offseason championing the Bauer Hour 482 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: and then they pulled them. That was a rough offseason 483 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: after like one game. Yeah. Yeah, I have them as 484 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: ross Rachel. 485 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: I have them as annual Bowl flirtation, and maybe they're 486 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: getting to a Bowl sixty five percent of the time. 487 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: It's tough without seeing some big step on offense to 488 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 2: feel good about them in the next five years. 489 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: Let's move on to questions here, Dan, question one in 490 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: front of me that I'm looking at that I love 491 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: this one from Anna last week. You got rid of 492 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: things you no longer wanted, things that didn't spark Joy. Yeah, 493 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: with all that new space you've acquired, what are you 494 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: most excited to add to the solid verbal house this year?

Did you see today 511 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: that the National Science Foundation or Institute whatever it's called, 512 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: they somehow managed to photograph a black hole? I did. 513 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: It's a huge deal. And you know how I've got 514 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: this thing for outer space.

It is a tall tub and I 531 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: am not a bath person, but it is like a 532 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: fully submerged thing other than your head, and you sort 533 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: of sit on a small bench in it, Okay, And 534 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: it's apparently incredibly relaxing.

We're just getting around to it 541 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: now because we've been getting a bunch of good questions. 542 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: Speak creatively to me, Dan, Well, so there are existing 543 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: ways that are pretty creative instead of just players getting 544 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: handed envelopes full of cash, or you know, a bag 545 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: man or an extra assertive booster paying for car repairs 546 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: or whatever expenses a player may incur as a senior 547 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: or junior in high school whatever. A lot of stuff 548 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: like this is going through charities, Like a seven on 549 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: seven coach starts a charity, and that charity is to 550 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: help kids travel to tournaments and get tutoring and then 551 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: all of this and they get an infusion of fifty 552 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: thousand dollars from an LLCA something like that.

Where we're going next. 602 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,959 Speaker 1: We had a question about grief. Grief. 603 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: Did you see the question about grief? And so I 604 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: believe it's our mottos from reddits. He has bummed out 605 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: that the AAF, the association is that it is American 606 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: Football is no longer. It appears they have discontinued after 607 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 2: like three weeks. Huh, yeah, that's not great business wise. 608 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: What's your favorite stage of grief? He is particular to bargaining, 609 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: and he's half tempted to see if he can do 610 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 2: a gofund me or a kickstarter to start a new 611 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: spring football league. And I have this in front of me, 612 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: the standard stages of grief, but I think we can 613 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: invent our own stages. They include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, 614 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 2: and acceptance. And so, as I'm sure you've had to 615 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 2: grieve people or situations you watch the Notre Dame Bowl game, 616 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: what is the point in grief? I can tell you 617 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 2: from just a breakup perspective, relationship ending perspective. What my 618 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 2: favorite part of that grief period is. 619 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: It's weird to have a favorite part of the grief cycle. 620 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: I know, I'm with you. 621 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the part where I was like, I 622 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: just need to get outside. I need to get outside 623 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna run five miles. And it didn't 624 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: last for a long time, getting up early and going 625 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: for a run to just clear your head. But I 626 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: did like that stage felt good. It felt good to 627 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 2: sort of clear your mind a little bit, clear my 628 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: mind a little bit. So that's what I would point to, 629 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: and then just listening to a lot of saves the day. 630 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm big on denial because it's sort of like 631 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. I'm fine, No, what are you talking about? 632 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: Life is great? Yeah, getting higher the denial stage is 633 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: sort of like the honeymoon stage of the grief cycle. Yes, 634 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: so I think I'm a little partial to that. 635 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 2: Okay, next question, Oh, I like this one, ty, I 636 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: think you'll have and we've gotten this question sort of before. 637 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: Let me find it was.

If I'm playing with a bunch of 663 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: people who don't know what they're doing. Yeah, then you're 664 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: gonna come off terribly. Then I'm gonna come off as 665 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: sort of like the super intense guy who maybe doesn't 666 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: make friends as easily as I would otherwise. 667 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: Oh weird, we didn't We didn't tell you that we 668 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 2: were going out to beers after the game. 669 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: Oops. Right, Yeah, I'm not wearing Rex back to the game. 670 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm not quite at that level. But I'm just I'm 671 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 1: a little too intense. You you do see the intensity. Yeah, 672 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: maybe I just I'm not as open to meeting new 673 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: people as I should be because I'm focused on the game. 674 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 2: Again that I know, and it's hard. It's hard for 675 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 2: people to be into intense tie That's right. 676 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: So I think with that as the backdrop, it needs 677 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: to be something that you know, maybe I don't take 678 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: as seriously, or I'm not as prone to taking as seriously. 679 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: So if there is like a kickball league or a 680 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: dodgeball league or so, I don't know that something a 681 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: little bit off beat. 682 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 2: I still think kickball would scratch you where you itch 683 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 2: a little bit too much because you're still on the diamond. 684 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: There's still a short stop. There's still a picture. They're 685 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 2: still waving somebody home. 686 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: It also couldn't be something like bowling, where I'm just 687 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: genuinely awful. 688 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 2: But that's kind of cool. That's you know, there's time 689 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 2: between to like get to know people and talk and 690 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 2: find out where people are from and what they do 691 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 2: for a living. And there's that you know, you're drinking beer. 692 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 2: I think bowling is actually a great idea. 693 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: No, I'm out. I'm out on them. 694 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 2: But it's tough to just join a bowling league blind. 695 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: I think you normally you have to join with like 696 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 2: three other people. Want to outside team. I think that's good. 697 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 2: I think kickball for you is bad. I think soccer 698 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 2: for you would be good. 699 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: Soccer is something I know a lot about but have 700 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: never played. 701 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 2: It doesn't involve your bum shoulder, true, so you just 702 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: sort of beg off of throw ins. 703 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: I get throwns. It'll be fine for you. 704 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 2: I think soccer is the move for you. Or basketball, 705 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 2: but you want to be outside. I'm retired from basketball, 706 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 2: are are you really? I blew out my shoulder playing basketball. 707 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm retired, but you're not dunkin I'm retired, Okay. I 708 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 2: think soccer is the answer for you, specifically for him, 709 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: I think kickball is a great answer. Yeah, kickball is 710 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 2: something that inherently, as long as Matt doesn't have the 711 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 2: type of baseball or softball intensity that you have. I 712 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 2: think kickball is silly enough that it brings out personality 713 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 2: where it's just like, oh, we're playing this thing we 714 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 2: did when we were in pe in fourth grade. And 715 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 2: I think there's a natural like shift from kickball to 716 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: a bar after even if you're not a big drinker, 717 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 2: grab some nachos, grab some tendo's, whatever that. I think 718 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 2: there's that social element to kickball where people are just 719 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 2: their guard down, they're just a little bit looser. 720 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: So I would say kickball. I like that, and you 721 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: can talk to people. 722 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 2: It's like if you're playing Ultimate frisbee, if you're in 723 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 2: an Ultimate frisbee rec league, it's not like you're chatting 724 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 2: around the field getting to know people. But if you're 725 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 2: in a dugout, if you're in an outfield waiting between innings, kickball, 726 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 2: everybody knows they're into this sort of ridiculous fun thing. 727 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 1: I say, kickball. Next question. Let's go to Mike here, 728 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: all right, he says, my birthday is Sunday the fourteenth, 729 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: and my wife of one month, congratulations sir ooh very nice, 730 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: has told me that her gift to me is a 731 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: ticket slash weekend to any game for our alma mater, 732 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: the University of Arkansas. Woo. What game of the twenty 733 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: nineteen schedule gives me the best weekend experience as well 734 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: as a game where Arkansas has a decent shot of winning. Thanks, 735 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: that is from Mikes. Those are two different things, exactly, 736 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: Congratulations Mike. Those are two different things, and I think 737 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: you need to look at this more from the standpoint 738 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: of experience than from shot of winning. So who are 739 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: you who you're penciling in? All right? So the first 740 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: game that jumps off the page to me, Dan, is 741 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: that A and M game? However, that's a neutral cider 742 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 1: it is it's in Arlington. You know where we stand 743 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: on neutral site games. 744 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but at least that game is usually entertaining. It's 745 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 2: been an overtime game of you know, more often than 746 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 2: not in the last few years. 747 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're into neutral site games, Arlington 748 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: would be you got to go to a game? Yeah, 749 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: go to a game in Arkansas. The Auburn game midway 750 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: through October is interesting to me. Sure. Otherwise though, there 751 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: aren't a lot of high profile home games that I 752 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: would really steer towards. Maybe Mississippi State could be interesting, 753 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: The Missouri game end of the year could be interesting, 754 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: but the weather could be a bit of a concern. 755 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: Right exactly, I'm probably going probably going for that Auburn game. 756 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: I think Auburn's the answer. And a couple reasons. You 757 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 2: give yourself, what six games going in. They're gonna have 758 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 2: a new quarterback, and this is year two of the 759 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 2: Chad Morris era, and at times the defense looked alright 760 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 2: at times. Last year certainly had some issues, But at 761 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 2: least with Auburn you have that sort of big game 762 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 2: intensity where you're not positive they're terrible, unless if they 763 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 2: lose to San Jose State, that's gonna be a rough 764 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a rough ticket to look at. But 765 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 2: at that point there's a shot at beating Ole miss 766 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 2: a shot. In terms of what their schedule looks like, 767 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 2: they should be. Portland State, Colorado State, and San Jose 768 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 2: State are not world beaters. A and M is gonna 769 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 2: be very tough, but at least that's a neutral site 770 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 2: and it's been they've played them very close in recent years. 771 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 2: Kentucky's not going to be as good, so there is 772 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 2: at least a chance that Arkansas is competitive on the road. 773 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 2: In Lexington Auburn, you get, in terms of tailgating, that's 774 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 2: a big game atmosphere. Even if everybody at the tailgate, yeah, 775 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 2: we're probably gonna lose and it's probably not gonna be 776 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 2: super pretty, there's a buzz. You at least get that 777 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 2: buzz where it's just like it's October, it's the South, 778 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 2: it's Arkansas Auburn. There's just something about it that, at 779 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 2: least for three four hours tailgating, you're like, this is 780 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 2: what life is about except grilling meats, we're smoking meats, 781 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 2: we're doing whatever, and it's just you get to enjoy that, 782 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: that brief window, even with the pessimism laying in the 783 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 2: back of your mind, the brief window of like life 784 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 2: is good. If you can like sort of float ten 785 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 2: feet above your tailgate, you can really appreciate it. Whereas 786 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 2: Mississippi State, you're into November, then it's cold and you're 787 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 2: wearing I don't know, I don't know how cold it 788 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 2: actually gets in in Fayetteville in November, but it's probably 789 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 2: not as nice as it is in mid October. So 790 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 2: there's at least potential for hope with Auburn coming off 791 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 2: of neutral site, a worse Kentucky game, a worse Ole 792 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 2: miss team potentially with all sorts of issues. 793 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 1: I think that's the answer. I think we're in agreement there, 794 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: all right. Pick and Alburn could be terrible, Auburn could 795 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: be terrible, Aways be terrible. Pick a game where you 796 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: think the atmosphere is going to be fun. Yeah, don't 797 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: worry about the wins and losses. That'd be Yeah.

You love it, 841 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: you commute with it, Well, I'm trying to commute more 842 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah. I find myself listening to older person 843 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: stuff sure on the drive home, and I've had to 844 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: recommit myself to be the pop music encyclopedia of this podcast. Yes, 845 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: always what about Khalid? Have you heard of Khalid? I have? 846 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: And that is only because our friend Richard Johnson told 847 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 2: me he gets it a lot that he looks like 848 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 2: is Kalid or is a Kalid? 849 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: You know what I see it? You're right years old. 850 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 2: I didn't even think that the hair is very similar. 851 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 2: The build is very similar, in the hair is very similar. 852 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 2: I haven't heard Richard, but Richard has a good voice. 853 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 2: Richard has a legitimately good voice. There's there's something in 854 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 2: the like Ariana Grande phylum and I I ari Grande 855 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: seems fine to me. It seems like she has a 856 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 2: good voice. A bunch of hit songs. I don't know nearly. 857 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 2: I don't know like three of them. But that there 858 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: is a lot of diet Grande out there? Is that 859 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 2: fair to say? Sure, there's a lot of people who 860 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 2: are saying, Okay, I see that sound, and I mean, 861 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 2: that's music. You can look at the history of music 862 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 2: and there's that. But I feel like we are in 863 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 2: the diet Grande era. 864 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: I think Selena Gomez would be in the diet Grande era. 865 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: Di's singing anymore? Who sings? Who sings on the middle? 866 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 1: The nonj me eat world middle? That w'd be Maren Morris? 867 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 1: Would you say that there's diet grande to Maren Morris 868 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe a little tangential. Maybe it's it's 869 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: grande zero, yeah, something like that. Maybe it's caffeine free 870 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:15,479 Speaker 1: grande zero. 871 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So yes, my answer would be twenty fourteen, 872 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 2: since early Ariana Grande whenever that was fair. 873 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: And it's just because I'm a thousand years for me, it's 874 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 1: been about the last two years. We've really fallen out 875 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: of touch and I'm trying, Tyler my very best to 876 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: get back on the level. Here. 877 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 2: What will you listen to when you're like I am, 878 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,760 Speaker 2: in a music mood when you're I assume you listen. 879 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: To satellite radio? Still sure, what station? What genre? What 880 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,280 Speaker 1: are you going in that direction? I go Pop Rocks 881 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: Channel seventeen, and it's all music enough. No, it's all 882 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: music from our high school and college days. Really see 883 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: their fuel switch back. No, it's nothing that hard. It's 884 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: a lot of pop stuff. You're not sending the pain below, 885 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: it's what you're telling me. 886 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 2: No, Okay, let's do two more questions here. Okay, it's 887 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 2: more love below than send the pain below. 888 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Okay, Let's go to tuone squad. Okay, 889 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,959 Speaker 1: what is the proper tipping protocol at the following one 890 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 1: restaurants where you order at the front, but if food 891 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: brought to you and two buffets where the server brings 892 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: to your drink. 893 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 2: So what to you, this, I mean begs another question. 894 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,280 Speaker 2: And I am pro tipping. I am pro service industry. 895 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 2: It's a tough job worked in food service. Whatever, I 896 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 2: appreciate them. 897 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: What to you sort of earns a really good tip, 898 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 1: and that means play like twenty over over twenty percent. Well, 899 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: obviously you got to be responsive. Yep, gotta be responsive, 900 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: not two in your face responsive, but responsive enough. And 901 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: you gotta have a personality. Interesting. I had a guy 902 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: one time at an airport bar telling jokes about Seinfeld 903 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 1: making human fun jokes. He got like thirty Oh really, 904 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't want routines. I don't was telling 905 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: human fun jokes, which connects with me. So yeah, I 906 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: went above and beyond on that tip. 907 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 2: I want water circulation to be elite. I want somebody 908 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,919 Speaker 2: coming around with water all the time. If it's full 909 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 2: service and he's asking questions, or he or she tune 910 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 2: squad for restaurants at the front where his food is 911 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 2: brought to you, I'll leave a couple bucks. If it's 912 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 2: very clear that the people bringing the food are only 913 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 2: runners and they're not also making the food, or they're 914 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 2: not also helping people that kind of thing. If they're 915 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 2: only sort of runners all the time. That's not a 916 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 2: huge service, but that it depends on the specific role 917 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 2: of the person bringing it out a buffet, I would 918 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 2: imagine the people bringing out the drinks are doing more 919 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 2: than just drinks, like they're helping set up the buffet 920 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,080 Speaker 2: and keep things going and communicating that like, yes we 921 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 2: need more enchiladas, Yes we need more mac and cheese. 922 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: Whatever. 923 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 2: But it's not like I'm scoping. I'm not scouting the situation. 924 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: But you'll leave. 925 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 2: I'll leave a pretty standard tip. If the water is refilled, 926 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,720 Speaker 2: if the drinks are if everything comes in a timely 927 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 2: manner and they're pleasant, whatever, I'll. 928 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,800 Speaker 1: Give my standard tip. It's about twenty percent. 929 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 2: But yeah, if we're talking full service, what gets a 930 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 2: good tip is elite water circulation. It's definitely not trying 931 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 2: to memorize orders. Even if they get it right, there's 932 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 2: a certain amount of hubris from like, come on, what 933 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 2: are we doing. Just placate me and write it down. 934 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: I don't, like, I don't need you to show off 935 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 2: that you can memorize down even if you can, don't 936 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 2: do that. I'm just totally out on that. And then 937 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 2: I want especially because Jody with an eye is very 938 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 2: is she's indecisive, and so she'll say something like what's 939 00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 2: better the roast chicken or the feticini. Like she will 940 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 2: give them options, and I like decisiveness from a waiter saying, well, 941 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 2: the roast chickens pretty spicy, so if you're into that, 942 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 2: I'd go with that. The feticini's great, but it's you know, 943 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 2: it's more of a mellow type thing. If a waiter 944 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 2: or waitress server excuse me, is good on that level, 945 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 2: I think that's a big play, especially if it turns 946 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 2: out that they like, really nailed the wreck. I also 947 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 2: love a good honest wreck where you're like, how's the salmon, 948 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 2: You're like, it's fine, not my favorite. 949 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: Like I like that sort of honesty. So you prefer 950 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: more guidance in terms of food versus. 951 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily I don't necessarily correct. Yeah, I want 952 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 2: it's all business. I want all business, and I want 953 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 2: their expertise on the menu. 954 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: Here's a good question from Joey. Yeah, since it's starting 955 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,959 Speaker 1: to warm up in the Midwest, when you have sunglasses 956 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: with you but don't need to wear them, what is 957 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: the ideal on the body storage area? Oh? What a 958 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 1: question above the forehead boses them to sweat and grease. 959 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: But I've never been a fan of the V neck 960 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: look that comes along with glasses. Pulling down your collar 961 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: any pocket just increases the risk of something smashing. Thanks, 962 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,720 Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen. This is really a question 963 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: for an entire generation, Dan, this is a question for 964 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 1: shark tank. What do you typically do your sunglasses? Guy? 965 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: I have actually, in all honesty, I have pondered this 966 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 1: question for eons, to the extent that I don't even 967 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: bring sunglasses with me unless it's required. Who I had 968 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: this I did. I had this same scenario a couple 969 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: weeks ago animal when I went down to Phillies opening day. 970 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: I left the sunglasses in the car. I didn't want 971 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: to have to deal with him. I didn't know what 972 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: to do with him on, so I left him in 973 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 1: the car. I don't have an answer here, Dan, Okay. 974 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 2: So I am regularly the V neck, like even if 975 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 2: I'm wearing a crew neck shirt and it becomes a 976 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 2: V neck because the sunkey fold the sunglasses at the 977 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 2: lip of the collar whatever. And that's just how I 978 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 2: go about my life. I try more and more if 979 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm wearing a button down or a polo shirt or 980 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 2: something like that, which I'm doing half the time. Is 981 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 2: who knows to get one with a breast pocket? And 982 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 2: I will go with the breast pocket. Look, I'm a dad, 983 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,920 Speaker 2: now I can get away with it, sure, and at 984 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 2: least that gives me a little bit more security. But 985 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 2: the number of times where I've bent over and my 986 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 2: sunglasses have fallen off of my shirt or out of 987 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 2: the shirt pocket is endless. Yeah, so I will not 988 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 2: go the forehead. Look, I don't wear hats really, so 989 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 2: that's not like putting it on. I definitely won't go 990 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,399 Speaker 2: back of the head. I won't do the full fiery tie. 991 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how you use. Yeah, I don't do 992 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 2: a forehead. I don't go on top of my hair. 993 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 2: So I am looking for somebody in the shark tank realm, 994 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,760 Speaker 2: some entrepreneur to come up with, like a shirt brand 995 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,399 Speaker 2: that has a hidden magnet in the breast pocket or 996 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 2: inside the sort of collar area where that it really 997 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 2: gets a good amount of traction for the sunglasses. That 998 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 2: I'm all in on some sort of universe where we 999 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 2: have magnets. I mean, it's all, it all comes down 1000 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 2: to magnets, So. 1001 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean. And the thing is, if you're wearing 1002 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 1: a collared shirt with a button down, you can get 1003 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: away with putting it there in the collar. But if 1004 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: you're wearing a T shirt, if it's just a casual 1005 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 1: get together, if you try to put the sunglasses at 1006 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,839 Speaker 1: the bottom of the collar, it turns into one way 1007 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 1: or another, a very aggressive V neck. You really don't 1008 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,399 Speaker 1: wear sunglasses when you go to outdoor events in the sun. 1009 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with the sunglasses. Do 1010 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 2: you wear sunglasses when you go birding? 1011 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: No? You do? Have you have a weird vision thing 1012 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 1: as I wear sunglasses when I drive, but I don't 1013 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: like to take them out because I don't know what 1014 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 1: to do with them When I have to take them off. 1015 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 2: You can't go pants or short pocket, you can't go. 1016 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 2: That's He's definitely right, that that's yours. 1017 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: I smashed. I've tried the thing where I try to 1018 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: put one arm in the pocket and just let him 1019 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: hang out. But that's a recipe for disaster. You end 1020 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: up using them or dropping them in the epping on them. 1021 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 2: Are you going to put them back in a case 1022 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 2: and put them in your back pocket? But then sitting 1023 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 2: down becomes a thing, it becomes uncomfortable. 1024 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1025 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 2: I think I think the V neck transformation. I think 1026 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 2: the breast pocket is the best answer. But I don't 1027 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 2: know how we can better secure Again, I'm going to 1028 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 2: turn to people on Shark Tank. 1029 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: All right, final question here, Dan, Yeah, comes to us 1030 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: from our friend r J. He says, love the show. 1031 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 1: My fiance and I are moving to Phoenix in a 1032 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,359 Speaker 1: few months. How do I convince her that buying Arizona 1033 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: State season tickets is a good slash worthwhile investment? He 1034 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,280 Speaker 1: uses the word investment. It's tough. It's a tough sell 1035 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: if you're going to present it as an investment. So 1036 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: I think you need to shift the narrative a little bit. 1037 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: It's not an investment, You're investing in experience. Correct. All right, 1038 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: So that's the first I think tact you need to 1039 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: take here. RJ. Now, Dan, you've been to more ASU 1040 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: games than I have. What is that game and day experience? Like? 1041 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 1: It's a good time. 1042 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,839 Speaker 2: Early on in the season, all the home games are 1043 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 2: at night because of how hot September is, so you 1044 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 2: still get to watch some of the early games. I 1045 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 2: don't know what times on Arizona is in the fall. 1046 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 2: I know it can vary, or they it never varies. 1047 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, you get time to do whatever you 1048 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 2: want to do on Saturday as is, so if you 1049 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 2: have errands to run, it's not like you're ruining your 1050 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 2: Saturday by getting to the tailgate at nine am. You 1051 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 2: know you're there for four hours and the game lasts 1052 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 2: three more hours. It's much more of like, okay, it's 1053 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,080 Speaker 2: a seven thirty kickoff. We can take care of whatever 1054 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 2: during the day during the morning hours and then go 1055 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 2: a couple hours before. And I don't think people are 1056 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 2: tail getting like ten hours all all day before ASU games. 1057 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 2: There's a huge parking lot, so you don't have to 1058 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,440 Speaker 2: deal with huge or the pain of finding side streets 1059 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 2: and people charging you fifty dollars to park. Per my knowledge, 1060 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 2: maybe it's changed, so the social element, I think you're right. 1061 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 2: It's the experience. Even if ASU is perennially just to 1062 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 2: pack twelve South Threat and nothing beyond that, you're going 1063 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 2: to a night game in Arizona gets a little chilly, 1064 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 2: so it's a nice break from the heat of September. 1065 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 2: Usually by the end of the month anyway. 1066 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,640 Speaker 1: Sun Devil Stadium's a cool venue. A lot of a 1067 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: lot of metal benches though that don't feel great in 1068 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: the heat, but a cool venue. Yeah, I think it's 1069 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: a neat place to see a game. The other thing 1070 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 1: i'd add here, it's not like you're moving to Philly 1071 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: and trying to convince someone for Penn State season tickets. 1072 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: Phoenix is right next door to Tempee. 1073 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: Also, if you are moving to Phoenix from wherever, college 1074 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 2: football and tailgating is a nice way to meet new people, 1075 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 2: to meet locals that are presumably also interested in things 1076 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 2: you're interested in college football, and it's a big social 1077 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 2: experience where you make new friends tossing a football around. 1078 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 2: Somebody's making crab dip. I don't know what people make 1079 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 2: at the SU games. You're smoking b fribs whatever. It's 1080 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 2: a good way to be like, oh wow, that looks incredible. 1081 00:57:59,560 --> 00:57:59,919 Speaker 1: Is it good? 1082 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, try some and then your friends 1083 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 2: you're great. You're joining a kickball league together. 1084 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 1: The other thing i'd add, and this is I think 1085 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 1: the final point on this matter, m H. I think 1086 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 1: you are j first need to approach it as an 1087 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: experience that you're selling. The atmosphere that you want to 1088 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 1: be a part of now as you move to a 1089 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: new city. If that does not work and you are 1090 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,800 Speaker 1: still dead set and determined to try and sell your 1091 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: new wife on this matter, you need to do this 1092 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 1: with a straight face. It's the only way it's going 1093 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 1: to work. You need to try and sell her on 1094 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 1: the fact that you are buying in and with your money, 1095 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: voting for a new model of college football led by 1096 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: one Herman Edwards. That's true. Heys was fine last year. 1097 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 1: A new model. You can support a new model, you 1098 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 1: can upend the system. You got to do it the 1099 00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 1: straight face. That's the hail Mary. Yeah. 1100 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:01,919 Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to be the big sell. 1101 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 2: I don't know how much to Herm Edwards to has 1102 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 2: a big name for somebody possibly not interested in Seucason tickets. 1103 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,960 Speaker 1: But it's a read option, Dan. You put an experience, 1104 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 1: You put experience in the belly. If she doesn't take it, 1105 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 1: he got to opt for investment, and that investment opportunity 1106 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: is the new model of college football led by one 1107 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: Herman Edwards. How can I argue that point? All Right, 1108 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 1: we got a bunch of other questions here that we 1109 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 1: could not get to.
