1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid Verbo. I'll that for me. I'm

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: for Dake Edith State? Is that woo woom? And Dan

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: and Tye.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the solid verbal boys and girls.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: My name is ty Hill, the brand joining me as all.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: It's over there in beautiful, albeit blustery and chilly New

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: York City.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: My man, Dan Ripperstein, Sir, how are you? I'm good,

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: but I'm a little bit wistful. Not for the season,

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: although I am wistful for the regular season. But I

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: believe it's one year ago this weekend that we went

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to Fargo. Wow, has it been a year already? Well,

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: so Colgate beat James Madison in the first round, right right,

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: even though North Dakota State I think, yeah, they had

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: to buy this year and then took down who Nichols

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: last week? Sure, I think this was the weekend. So

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe this was the quarters or whatever it is of

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: the se S playoffs that we attended. And it has

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: been a year.

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I stand by the fact that that was the

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: coldest I've ever been at a football game.

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Certainly certainly had a tail game. It had. It's totally

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: nice inside the Fargo Dome.

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: It was so cold outside, and everybody there was completely

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: unphased except for us.

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: It's correct, that's correct, and we live in cold weather places.

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: We had a terrific time. And I remember it because

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: the attention of the college football world was, you know,

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: somewhat on the game, because we were being tweeted, because

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: our pal Kevin Brown was calling the game and made

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: mention to the solid verbal and coming were cargo.

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: We were running the si dot com Instagram story account. Correct,

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: we were doing that. But outside I cannot put into

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: words how next level cold that was.

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: It was, well, the thing it wasn't super windy, so

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it was just cold, don't I didn't find it unbearable.

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: But as as soon as you started mixing around with

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: people at North Dakota State, everybody's like, hey, you want

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: a club sandwich. Everything's great. You want some bourbon cocktail

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: that we've whipped up. Man, just another weekend here in Fargo,

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: and we're like, we are so soft, we are so

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: very very soft. It was great, It was great.

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for bringing up that memory. You can

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 2: go back on our website and listen to that whole escapade.

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun going out to Fargo

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: check out the Bison in person. In the interim though, Hello,

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: welcome to the postseason. I'm Ty, He's Dan. This is

50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: the Solid Verbal. As we've been saying all year long,

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: we're gonna be broadcasting through the off season.

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean we're going to stop.

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: Might not broadcast quite as frequently, but that is to

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: be expected. Over the next couple weeks, we're going to

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: be previewing all the bowl games, yes, and recapping and recapping.

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: Not going to do that tonight. We're going to start

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: up this coming weekend. But suffice to say, there's a

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: lot of content that we have to get through as

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: we get you ready for bolseason. There is a bull

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: pick Them pool, Solid Verbal dot Com slash pick Them

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: or if you go to Solid verbal dot Com, there's

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: big yellow banner at the top you can click through

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: and join it there. We'll also make sure we post

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: it on across We'll also make sure we post it

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: across all of our social channels, but encourage everyone to

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: get in on the action. It's a lot of fun

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: on the Sunday Show. I think we'll unveil our separate

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: strategies for attacking a confidence pool, but would encourage everyone

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: to subscribe if they haven't already.

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I do really enjoy Bowl season, you know, for

71
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: as much attention as it gets as being a group

72
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: of exhibitions and not mattering, and it doesn't mean anything

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: for the next season. It's football on TV when in

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: a lot of places it's very cold out and you

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: might be spending time with people you're close to that

76
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: you might not necessarily want to be close to. I

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: can't speak to that because I'm very fortunate, but I

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: understand that for some people football and bowl games are

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: a terrific escape. So let's let's all be in this

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: together and enjoy. Like the guests, Spotty, what do you

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: call the gas gas the gasparilla or the bad boy

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: mowers or whatever. Bowl, Let's all do it together and

83
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: have fun. I like it.

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: As for tonight, though, Dan, Yes, tonight, we're gonna go

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: through the mail bag as we are asked if people

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 2: out there could send in questions. It's been a long

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: time since we did a good, honest to goodness Q

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: and a emptied out the mail bag really covered some

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: ground so we're going to do that tonight. Figured the

90
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: first show after the season is a good one to

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: do that before we jump right back in this coming

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: weekend and talk about all things bulls before we get there, though, Dan,

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: we have news.

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: We do all sorts of new coaching hires. I just

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: saw the most recent. Well, there were a couple of

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: recent ones. Steve Dazio to Colorado State, Willie Taggart to

97
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: Fau Morris to become Auburn's offensive coordinator. Marcus Arroyo, Oregon's

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, is now the head coach officially of the

99
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: UNLV Rebels. And who am I missing? Chip Long Notre Dame.

100
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: They've gone their separate directions. It's a conscious decoupling, conscious decoupling.

101
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I think that's accurate. Did we mention Ricky Ronnie officially

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: taking the ODU job? We may have mentioned that on

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: the think we did in Passing Yeah, on the last show.

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: But teams yeah, two and a half of our teams. Yes,

105
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: So we're offensive coordinators. A lot to.

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: Come on that front, for sure. Who knows we'll have

107
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: another surprise this coaching season. I suppose it's possible. But

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: in the interim, we've got a lot of coordinators on

109
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: the move, and for sure we'll be talking more about

110
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: the organ of Notre Dame jobs i'd imagine on this show.

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: And Penn State job. That's a really good job with

112
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: how well the Nitney Lions have recruited, right for sure?

113
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you think that they are going to when somebody

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: sort of asked this, I don't know if this will

115
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: go right into our Q segment before our a's but

116
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: do you think they promote from within? Do you think

117
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: James Franklin goes outside for some fresh eyes? What do

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: you think?

119
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: I would love for them to go outside. Okay, I

120
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: would love to go outside the box a little bit.

121
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: There's a dude from Slippery Rock whoa it's really deep

122
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: if you really want to dig deep in the hat.

123
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: I forget his name. I should know his name because

124
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: I've been reading about him all year.

125
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: But about whoever is running the Muhlenberg offense?

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Actually, who's ever running the Muhlenberg defense might

127
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: be the better play.

128
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: It's true. Benn State's defense I think is in a

129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: pretty good place. Not the best ever, but they're in

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good place.

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: Pretty good place. James Franklin's got a pretty good track

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: record for going outside.

133
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: Yes, he's going to outside. Speaking of going outside, Steve A.

134
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Dazio has never coached west of the Mississippi, and now

135
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: he is going west of the Mississippi. I just brought

136
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: up his his Wikipedia page. He to Central Connecticut, coached

137
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: at Western Connecticut State, coached high school in Connecticut, Syracuse,

138
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame, to Indiana, to Florida, to Temple, to

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Boston College, to Colorado State. Yeah, okay.

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: I will say though that Bronco Mendenhall coming east of

141
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: the Mississippi and having the success he's had at Virginia

142
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: has opened my eyes a bit to that whole geographic

143
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: argument that I know.

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: He oh yeahked, Well, I mean, Oregon has a coach

145
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: who has almost exclusively coached in the Southeast at Askhama

146
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: and Miami and FIU and places like that. It's possible,

147
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: but it's just it was thirty five years of me.

148
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: So that's a long time for an assistant principal like Steva.

149
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: Does any any other noteworthy topics, Well, the Willie Taggart

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: thing is notable because he's jumping to a good job,

151
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: a job that's not a fixer upper. Like he's had

152
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: to do all these times as he gets new jobs,

153
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and so hopefully he can just focus on maintenance rather

154
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: than trying to fix a pro that's sort of been gutted.

155
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: So I think I'm optimistic that FAU can keep succeeding. No, yes,

156
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I think Willy Taggart's a good higher Yeah. So yeah.

157
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: Originally there were rumors that he was interested. Willy Taggart

158
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: was interested in his old job. USF don't know if

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: that interest was reciprocating. I'm guessing it wasn't because they

160
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: hired Jeff Scott instead. Right, So Jeff Scott gets a job,

161
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: he comes over from Clemson, Willy Taggart presumably looking for

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: another job in Florida, he gets FAU.

163
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Right, not a bad gig, No, not at all. And

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I think USF is probably looking to build something more

165
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: long term. And it's probably fair to assume that Willy

166
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Taggart's track record indicates he's not necessarily a long term

167
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: guy win or lose. Now, he might have to be

168
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: at this point. He might have to be at this point.

169
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Not have a track record suggests that there might be

170
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: concern wherever he might have success. Also, Northwestern hires a

171
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. This normally would not be huge news.

172
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Offense was so bad. It should be noted that they

173
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: have not just hired a handyman. They've hired a general

174
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: contractor to come in and really get out all of

175
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: the warts and the termites. And there's a lot of

176
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: load bearing issues with the Northwestern offense that need addressing.

177
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: And Mike Bajakian but Jackie and I don't know how

178
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: he pronounced it. He was at Boston College, did a

179
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: good job improving the Eagle offense, did a good job

180
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: and I know the Tennessee team wasn't great in twenty fourteen,

181
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: but that offense was better in twenty fourteen than they

182
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: were in twenty thirteen. So has a track record. I

183
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: think he was at Cincinnati before that and did a

184
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: decent job with their offense. So hopefully Northwestern can get

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: that deal back up to competence. Can't do any worse, right, No,

186
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: it would. I mean I could imagine what a worse

187
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: offense would look like at a place that can attract

188
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: decent enough talent. Yeah, I couldn't imagine. So here you go.

189
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: The only other thing that I have see about Jim Delaney.

190
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Maybe talk about it. Playoff, Dan, Jim Delaney will do

191
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: whatever his best for Jim Delaney. And you leave a

192
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: big ten team out of the playoff, even once like

193
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: has happened, then he will He is open. He said

194
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: something like, you know, I didn't like when they were computers,

195
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I like people either. Right, No,

196
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: he's just keeping his options open. Jim Delaney does not

197
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: at all look like Robert Duvall. We've discussed this before.

198
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: Jumbo Duval, though. I think he's bigger, isn't he Probably? Yeah,

199
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: I think he's protein shake Duval. Whichever Duvall you prefer.

200
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: This one seems to be warming to the idea of

201
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: an expanded playoff, which we knew was gonna come at

202
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: some point. Let's be honest, whether you like it or not.

203
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the first question we could take because I

204
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: saw that one on that very topic.

205
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Any other news before we jump in here. We have

206
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: Heisman finalists. That's happening. We're recording this Wednesday at five pm.

207
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: That's happening Saturday. We've had a couple of early awards

208
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: being given out. But I don't know nothing that we

209
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: need to stop everything down for him. We have a

210
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: bunch of good questions here. One final news tidbit, Dan, yes,

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: dam for help any of the week. It's not a

212
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: normal week.

213
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: We're talking about things as if the season's over, and

214
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes, it is.

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: But there is one other game that we need to discuss,

216
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: that we have to discuss.

217
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: It's Army Navy. It's this weekend. They play it in Philly.

218
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: Navy is obviously the favorite here being so they were

219
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: a much better team throughout the course of the year.

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: But any thoughts on this football game.

221
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: I think I feel pretty good about Navy. Yeah that yeah,

222
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: maybe has been a fun watch. Obviously, they've gotten to

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: be a lot better on offense. They're a top ten

224
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: d analytics team and just points per drive I know

225
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I love that stat. But defensively they took a nice

226
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: step up as well. And Army has just been a mess.

227
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: They've just been too sloppy. The game this year is

228
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: where it's at Philly. It's in Philly, it's at the Leak. Yeah,

229
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: we got a question about Philly food. Maybe we'll get

230
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: to Yeah, what's the spread? Ten and a half in

231
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: favor of Navy. I'm gonna give those points. Yeah, given

232
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: the points you always like taking in this game. I

233
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: always take the points in this game. I don't know

234
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: statistically how it shakes out, but I hate given points

235
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: in a game like this, such a big rivalry. We disagree. Also,

236
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Friday night, three FCS playoff games and I you at

237
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: James Madison Austin p at Montana State Montana ad we

238
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: were state in Illinois State, North Dakota State. Any strong

239
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: thoughts about any of those games.

240
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: I have no strong thoughts at all other than the

241
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: Muhlenberg Mules at Scotti Baby Scotty Wood Stadium on Saturday.

242
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: Not sure if I'll make it up, but against North

243
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: Central North Central from Illinois.

244
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Slippery Rock, Minnesota State, the Johnny's of Saint John's

245
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: against Wisconsin Whitewater two twelve and one teams. It's a

246
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: pretty action. Pat my one's on ESPN three, Watch ESPN,

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: ESPN plus whatever. It's a lot of good football. Let's watch.

248
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: We have a bunch of good questions. We asked the

249
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: verballerhood if they could please send a message to us

250
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: let us know what your question are. Of course, you

251
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: can get in touch whenever you'd like. At soliverbleatgmail dot com.

252
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: There's also a form on our website, and there are

253
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: also myriads social channels that you can pursue Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

254
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: Did we post on Reddit? We did post. We posted

255
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: on Reddit a bunch of questions from Reddit.

256
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: So any which way you can get in touch with

257
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: us if you've got something to say? What is our

258
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: first question, Daniel?

259
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: Do you want to have the sound that we can play?

260
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Or now, congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail? You got there?

261
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: It is? I like my version better.

262
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go to that right, let's go

263
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: to that playoff question.

264
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Let's kick Adam. All right, let's leave here with Adam.

265
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: He says, Dan has pretty clear thoughts on the college

266
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: football playoff, but I'm interested in what he believes is

267
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the best option BCS or go back to polls. So

268
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: it would be the old system in which there were

269
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: conference alignments for say the Rose and the Sugar and

270
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: the Orange and the people whatever. So I would say,

271
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: bring back the blockbuster bawl one.

272
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, if we could play a bit of the newly

273
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: led game here my understanding.

274
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: The AutoZone Liberty Bowl, getting the zone right, Yeah, always

275
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: my understanding of what you would prefer is go back

276
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: to polls. I think that's my preference, not in terms

277
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: of it being an actual good answer to find a

278
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: national champion, but I think it's the answer for what

279
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: would be the most entertaining postseason in college football. That

280
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: would also put a lot of weight on what I

281
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: believe to be the best part of college football, which

282
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: is September, October, November and things getting crazy at the

283
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: end of the season with the polls and whatever the rankings.

284
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: So that's my personal preference because I think I am

285
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: looking at this holistically and just what would be the

286
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: most fun package for college football. Because ultimately we've decided

287
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: that a national championship means something, But does it to

288
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: like if only seven and a half teams are capable

289
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: of winning it because of the way they're built and

290
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: how much money they have to you know, pay coaches

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: and build facilities and you know, travel for recruiting, things

292
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: like that. Why does the national championship matter as much

293
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: as it does? Why is there so much weight put

294
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: on it? Why are we you know, whether it's Game

295
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Day or the Fox Show or our show, or anybody

296
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: who talks about national college football there's this idea of

297
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: who's your top four? You go on the radio, I

298
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: go on the radio. We get asked this in March,

299
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: who's your top four? Do you have right? And there's

300
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: something to me that and I've explained this in a

301
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: number of shows, But in terms of the best solution,

302
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: there is no best solution. If you want to go

303
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: to eight, sure, those eight teams in that tournament, how

304
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: many games is that? That would be four to two,

305
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: three and one? It would be three, it was seven

306
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: games games, yea, seventy seven games. They'd be fun, it'd

307
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: be good TV. But suddenly there you get a situation

308
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: where your ty Hildenbrand, say, Conference championship weekend, is like, yeah,

309
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: let's no matter what they're not calling out of the

310
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: top eight. You get more of that, so we have

311
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: more inconsequential games late this season, which I'm just against.

312
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I just still cannot get my head around

313
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: your logic on this one. And you're entitled to it,

314
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: but I don't get it. If the national championship doesn't matter,

315
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: then why do any of the games matter? Why even

316
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: play if.

317
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: The ultimate goal?

318
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: If the ultimate goal is not to win the game

319
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: and not to win the championship. Why are they playing

320
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: the games at all? Like, there has to be there

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: has to be meaning. There has to be meanings at

322
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: the end of this and in every other sport and

323
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: literally every other sport, we're playing for a championship in

324
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: some way, shape or form, unless you're talking pee wee's

325
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: where everyone gets a ribbon, which this is not. You're

326
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: playing for a championship at the end, and we may

327
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: disagree on how you crown that champion, but the foundation

328
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: of your argument here is that the championship does not matter.

329
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: And that's still to this day after years of arguing

330
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: about this is not something I can get my head around.

331
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Ty, which year featured your favorite premier league playoffs? They

332
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: don't have playoffs? Oh sorry, they don't have playoffs. Sorry.

333
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: The biggest sport in the world is the one exception

334
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't have the kids.

335
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: They well, they have tournaments. They also have a league

336
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: with twenty teams and they can play each other over

337
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: the span of a season. We can't do that in

338
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: college football. We can't do that because they're one hundred

339
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: and thirty two. Let's do it now. We have talked

340
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: about our elaborate method for crowning a champion, right, which

341
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: would occur over a ten year period, everyone eventually playing

342
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: everyone in a format.

343
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I'm open discussion on that one.

344
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: But since that is not going to be the case

345
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: anytime soon, we're just going to have an impass here.

346
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: We will fundamentally disagree on. I know whether a championship

347
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: has value or not.

348
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, though, how much did you

349
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: care about a national champion when you learned about college football?

350
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: You're just hoping Notre Dame wins, right, I care a

351
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: great deal about the national championship. No, I'm saying now,

352
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: you do what I'm saying when you first got into football,

353
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: When you first got into college football, when you're twelve

354
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: years old, just watching Notre Dame games. I hope they win.

355
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: I was watching every game, Dan, I was not just

356
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: watching Notre Dame. Come on, right. But the idea is

357
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: we only talk. We don't care about other sports. College

358
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: football is a unicorn. It's the greatest, and it's not

359
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: the greatest because of its postseason. It's the greatest because

360
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: of its season. That's what that I would agree with.

361
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: That I would agree with. Okay, that I would absolutely

362
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: agree with and so I mean, now we're getting into

363
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: the importance of that, and don't worry think about let's

364
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: just treasure what college football is instead of what it

365
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: isn't how about that.

366
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Well, you're steering into the whole exhibition side of things,

367
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: which is what this playoff tried to get away from, right,

368
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: And I am saying quite the opposite, that it was

369
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: too much of an exhibition sport for too long and

370
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: it's long overdue that we have some justified way of

371
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: crowning a CHAMPI and I'm fine.

372
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: With college football the way it was, right. I fell

373
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: in love with it the way it was, and I'm

374
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: even more in love with it now. Oh no way,

375
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: there's no way. Next topic. Next topic. All right, our

376
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: next question, and I'll get away for some We have

377
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: a couple other college football stuff, but our college fooball

378
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: playoff stuff. But how about this? How much of Lincoln

379
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Riley's success at Oklahoma and Ryan Day's initial success at

380
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State is due to having smooth in house coaching transfers?

381
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: So okay, not you know, transfer in that sense, but

382
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: are we going to see more of this in the future?

383
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Related how likely is Jimmy Lake likely to maintain Washington

384
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: if not on Oklahoma and Ohio State's level. So I

385
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: guess maintain Washington as occasional jump up and get to

386
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: the playoff, can tend for the Pac twelve, you know,

387
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: once every three years andthing like that. We sort of

388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: answered this on the Twoes crews, didn't we We did. Yeah,

389
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about let's talk about internal transition.

390
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the smooth in house transition is important,

391
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: but doesn't it help to have that kind of talent

392
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: like they do at Ohio State and Oklahoma. Definitely, like

393
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: both guys have done a great job, but they also

394
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: started with presumably that twenty seven mile runway from Fast

395
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: and Furious six That helps two. So it's a combination

396
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: of factors for both those guys. There are plenty of

397
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: instances where a coach took over a very talented team

398
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: and then deep sixed it over the course of five years.

399
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, Larry Coker. Lincoln Riley clearly has

400
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: not done that. Lincoln Riley has you know, carved out

401
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: his own little place in college football at this point,

402
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: and that's why you hear his name rumored for jobs

403
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: maybe in the NFL. At some point right, We'll have

404
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: to wait and see on Ryan d Ryan Day has

405
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: been a name that's been up and coming in the

406
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: coaching ranks forever. I would find it very hard to

407
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 2: believe that things are going to turn around in a

408
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: negative way for him at Ohio State. So I think

409
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: it's a combination of factors. That's sort of a long

410
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: winded way of saying. It's both it's talent and it's

411
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: a smooth transition from A to B.

412
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: So even I'll drill down a little bit deeper, and

413
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: you root for schools in Penn State and Notre Dame

414
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: that almost exclusively look to the outside. One because Penn

415
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: State had a coach forever and ever and that ended abruptly,

416
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: so they pretty much had to go to the outside.

417
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Given that situation, then they do it once again once

418
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien leaves to hire James Franklin, who has connections

419
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: to PA but was not on that staff. My school

420
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: that I root for almost exclusively looks inside the program,

421
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: like Bellotti was an inside higher, Chip Kelly was an

422
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: inside hire, Mark Helfrich was an inside hier, Willie Taggert outside,

423
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: and then Mario Christobul inside once again, so we have

424
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: different vantage points as it relates to the teams we

425
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: root for. And I'll say that there is an unquestionable

426
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: advantage of just knowing where the bathrooms are, and that's

427
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: to be taken in a literal and figurative sense. Just

428
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: there's something about you're not displacing your family again. You

429
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: don't have upheaval, you don't have You're not going home

430
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: to a teenager saying I hate you, Dad, I miss

431
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: all my friends. There is something quinked and tranquil about continuity,

432
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: just from a personal standpoint. And then you know which

433
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: coaches you like and don't like, and you can say,

434
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: you know what, it's been great working with you, but

435
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go a new direction, defensive line coach,

436
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, whatever. You already have a sense of the

437
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: players who you like, who you don't like, where you

438
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: need to recruit better, where you can pull back on

439
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. There is I mean, you're talking about

440
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: the runway and I think that's exactly it. But it's

441
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: in every single room of the facility. And you're right

442
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: about the talent with Ohio State and Oklahoma, and I

443
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: think to a lesser extent, but still to a reasonable

444
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: extent at Washington. I think Jimmy Lake should have a

445
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: lot of success early because programs stuck there are really good.

446
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: They've recruited well, there are good defensive players. I know

447
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: they need to make adjustments on offense, but Immy Lake

448
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: is better prepared to diagnose what he wants to do

449
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: on offense than if they brought in whoever. You know,

450
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: if they brought on PJ. Fleck to replace Chris Peterson

451
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: or Matt Campbell or whoever. And that's what you should

452
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: see them flirting with double digit wins in these next

453
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: couple of years because he knows where the bathrooms are.

454
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, I mean it's not a common occurrence that

455
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: you see a guy who is taking over and is

456
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: just an instant disaster taking over a good situation and

457
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: it's instantly horrible.

458
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: Right, Usually Helfridge took a few years.

459
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: Right, Usually it takes a little bit before you start

460
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: to see that manifest Clearly it has that happened at Oklahoma.

461
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's likely to happen at Ohio State,

462
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: but you got to give it time.

463
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: Where are we going next? And by the way, the

464
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: interesting thing with both Ryan Day and Lincoln Riley is

465
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: they'd been around. Oh yeah, Jimmy Lake is a Peterson

466
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: not lifer, but he spent a lot of time with

467
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: them at Boise and Washington, so his network of what

468
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: works and what doesn't work is network of a distance

469
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: isn't quite as large. I still think he should succeed. Next,

470
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: you get to redo one play this year. This is

471
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: from Willie Auburn's last second catch versus Oregon. North Carolina's

472
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: two point attempted play against Clemson. Alabama's one second before

473
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: half versus Auburn. Michigan catches the touchdown versus Penn State.

474
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: That's what Ronnie Bell in the end zone that would

475
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: have tied it. Sure, I believe it was twenty eight,

476
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty one or something else. I know which one you

477
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: can redo. Yeah, I'm gonna say Veron McKinley breaking up

478
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: that pass the Oregon defensive back.

479
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to say North Carolina is two point attempt

480
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 2: against Clemson because I love the Cajones. It takes to

481
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: Gopher two. Sure in that situation, go for the win.

482
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 2: Almost as much as I hate the speed option play

483
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: that they ran against a really fast Clempson defense.

484
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: But I love the gumption to go for two there.

485
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: If you're Mac Brown, got a shot take The shot

486
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: didn't work out, but it was still held a lot

487
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: of fun.

488
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people know this, but that play

489
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: where a quarterback rolls out and a tight end shows

490
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: that he's in for extra protection, then leaks out to

491
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: the weak side for a wide open catch that has

492
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: never failed. It's a one hundred percent successful play on

493
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: any level it's ever been run. You know, why didn't

494
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: they run the Philly Special? It's a good question. Has

495
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: that play ever failed? I have not seen. I mean

496
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: sure it has. I'm sure it's failed spectacularly because there

497
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: are a lot of levers and pulleys to it.

498
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: I would love to know if PFF has a stat

499
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: on that.

500
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: Seriously, on some sort of Philly Special or King of

501
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: Prussia special, some sort of iteration. That play feels like

502
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: it works one hundred percent of the time. Yeah, it

503
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: absolutely does. Footford thought, will Mike Norvel have the knolls

504
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: above five hundred next year? Not including a bowl game?

505
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: Ooh, good question, Yeah, good question. This is from Michael.

506
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

507
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: First off, the non conference schedule includes both Boise and Florida,

508
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: which are tough games.

509
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: Yes, I think they're at Boise and West Virginia, right

510
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: and West Virginia sure in Atlanta. Yeah, so they've got

511
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: those three, which at least two of those three are

512
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: going to be tricky.

513
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 2: They also get Clemson. They also get Louisville, they get Miami,

514
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: both in the road, both of those two every year.

515
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, right, both of those teams should be improved.

516
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: I don't think they lose all those games. I feel

517
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: pretty good about seven and five, just solely on talent alone.

518
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: But I think the schedule dispels any notion of Mike

519
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: Norvel going like nine and three, ten and two.

520
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of a tough schedule. It's what a third

521
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in three years. It's the talent level obviously

522
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: isn't up to where it was, you know, eight, seven

523
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: years ago. Whatever, I think they'll be, okay, I am optimistic.

524
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: Quarterback is still gonna be such a huge issue for me. God,

525
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: the Sam Howell de commitment, well, yeah, it hurt, that's right,

526
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: just enormous. I think so. Yeah, I think they can

527
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: go seven and five. It's it's year one, don't I

528
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: don't have what Mike Norvell did at the moment in

529
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: front of me. I'm bringing it up right now in

530
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: year one at Memphis, but he was taking over a

531
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: much more successful program. It was a different situation. They

532
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: left that in such a good place.

533
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: It went a much different situation. Yeah, in five to

534
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: five in five so look, I like Mike Norvell. I

535
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: think it's a good move. I don't know if he's

536
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: got the personnel in place to run the system he

537
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: wants to run. We'll find that out in due time.

538
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: But the schedule does not strike me as a cream

539
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: puff schedule.

540
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: So seven and five right now.

541
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 2: If I'm betting in late December or early to so

542
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: whatever this is now was in track of time, seven

543
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: and five would probably be my early bet.

544
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think cam Akers will be back, No,

545
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: I hope not, for his sake. I really do hope not.

546
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he's declared yet, but it's hard to

547
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: imagine he won't because it's time. There's nothing more he

548
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: can really do in Florida State, given the line that's

549
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: going to be in front of him once again. I'm

550
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: sure it'll be improved, but it's time. Yeah, I'm gonna

551
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: say yes, just be on the strength of Norville, but

552
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: we haven't seen all of his HighRes, so it's it's

553
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: an incomplete take at the moment, Joshua, does the Big

554
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: Twelve have the best pool of head coaches right now

555
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: versus all the other Power five conferences or just every

556
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: conference top to bottom? I'm gonna say no, Okay, who's better? Well,

557
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess, first of all, let's define best pool of coaches.

558
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how you would define it. I will

559
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: offer have proven that they can win eight games in

560
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: a Power five conference, Okay, as a head coach. So

561
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve to me is sort of incomplete. I

562
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: did Less Miles currently lest Miles won a national championship.

563
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: Do you have faith less Miles can win eight games

564
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: at Kansas? No, that's obviously the low part. Matt Wells incomplete? Okay,

565
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: no idea, right?

566
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

567
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: Neil Brown incomplete? No idea. I mean we look at

568
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: Neil Brown, we look at Matt Wells, you know, Chris

569
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Climban as people who have potential. But there's just there's

570
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: too much. I mean, we like, obviously, we love Lincoln Riley,

571
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: Gary current iteration, Gary Patterson and the decisions he's made

572
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: it offensive coordinator I don't know. It's not in a

573
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: great place. But Gary Patterson's track record says yes, he

574
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: is an addition to a good pool, right it is.

575
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: It's not the Pac twelve.

576
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what the what the Big twelve has

577
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: going for it is that it's only ten teams.

578
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: Yes, so it's more of a percentage thing. It's so

579
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: hard to go against the sec you think. So it

580
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: starts at the top with Saban, who everyone is trying

581
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: to emulate. Eight mm hmm.

582
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: Obviously LSU had a renaissance here. I don't know if

583
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: I'm confident in ed Orgeron moving forward. I'm confident in

584
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: their ability in this playoff, but this is really the

585
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: first year where he's broken out, so I'd like to

586
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: see him maintain it. But LSU was an eight win entity.

587
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about that year in a year out.

588
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: Dan Mullen is doing quick work at Florida. Gus Melzon

589
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: has been pretty good for a while at Auburn. Winning

590
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: eight games has not really been an issue, right, you know.

591
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: On the other side of things, I think Jeremy Pruitt

592
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: did a really good job second half of the year

593
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: at Tennessee.

594
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but second half of the year was a very

595
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: different schedule than the first half of the year. But yeah, sure,

596
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: you lose the way he did those first two weeks.

597
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to really sing praises this season.

598
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: Mark Stoops has done miracles at Kentucky. I'm not even

599
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: mentioning Jimbo Fisher yet. So I just think the amount

600
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: of AMMO in the coaching ranks and the SEC is

601
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: really tough to beat.

602
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: I would say the top of the SEC is incredibly

603
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: tough to beat. The depth of the ACC as down

604
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: as it was this season, the ACC is sneaky. I

605
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: was looking at them too. It's not Jeff Collins is

606
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: an unknown right now as a Power five coach, and

607
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: obviously Boston College has not officially hired anybody. But in

608
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: terms of what these guys have proven, and I would

609
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: put Mike Norvell above some of those big twelve guys

610
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: with what he's done at Memphis this season leading him

611
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: to a Cotton Bowl. The Many Diaz thing is the

612
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: other question. But justin Fuente, Bronco, Mendenhall, Pat Nardoozi, it

613
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: was okay, but he if that bar is seven eight

614
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: wins in a Power five conference, he can He's gotten there. Ye,

615
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: mac Brown has proven it and a Power five conference.

616
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: He's an ash. David Cutcliffe has proven it all. Dave

617
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: Duran does is wins seven or nine games, or he

618
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: wins or loses seven games, that's right in the ACC.

619
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: Dino Babers has proven it. No, it's not bad. I

620
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: think just in terms of high floor, I would probably

621
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: I might have, and then Dabbo obviously who might be

622
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: the best coach in the sport?

623
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: Can I ask a different coach question than I see

624
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: here from Joe? Does the hype around Matt Campbell at

625
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: Iowa State seem to be fizzling? Or is he still

626
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: destined for a program bigger and better eventually he is?

627
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I think he's being patient. Yeah, I think he's being

628
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: patient for Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, something like that,

629
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: where you know, obviously he's from the Midwest, and I

630
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: think he will have his choice of a large Midwestern

631
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: job if he continues taking Iowa State to bowl games

632
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: and hanging with teams like Oklahoma and Texas, beating teams

633
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: like Texas, murdering teams like TCU for as many down

634
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: weeks and weird losses that the Clones will have and

635
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: you know you need to beat Iowa at a certain point.

636
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: Their schedule is not difficult in the following years. I

637
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: think they only have Iowa in terms of very challenging

638
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: Power five teams, so that should be a nice cushion.

639
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: Even though the Big twelve plays nine conference games. I

640
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: think we're just plateauing with Matt Campbell as attractive dude

641
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: to take over that large program. And that's my point.

642
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fizzling.

643
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: I just think the hype has been normalized at this point,

644
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: and you're one hundred percent right. He is in a

645
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: position or he can be as picky as he wants

646
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: to be about his next gig, because Iowa State would

647
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: happily keep him until he's seventy sure thirty years of

648
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: Matt Campbell, sign me up. They would take that in

649
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: a heartbeat. The truth of the matter is, though.

650
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a seventy three year old with that

651
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: crazy curved hat, whoa.

652
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: Matt Campbell had an eight and four regular season last year.

653
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: Last year before that, you had to go back eighteen

654
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: years to find a regular season as successful. This is

655
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: not a place that is easy to win at. Seven

656
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: win seasons are not growing on trees at Iowa State.

657
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: And now he's done it for three consecutive seasons. So

658
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: this is definitely still a guy who's going to be

659
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: in demand when he chooses to be in demand.

660
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Right. The only thing I'd be worried about. And we

661
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: got a question about Willy Fritz with this too. You know,

662
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: how is Willy Fritz still at Tulane? How has nobody

663
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: scooped him up there? If he does throw in a

664
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: clunker of a year, if he loses a quarterback in

665
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: week three and they end up five and seven because

666
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: of weird depth issues, transfer issues or whatever, then he's

667
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: going to need a proven year not to stay at

668
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: Iowa State, but to say, Okay, no, this guy's still good.

669
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: This guy's still good. I think it sort of happened

670
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: in Iowa State is not a G five program. But

671
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: this is more of a comparison to Willy Fritz. Everybody said,

672
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: oh man, Matt Wells destined for big things. Then Utah

673
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: State kept getting hurt at quarterback year after year after year,

674
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: and he would I think he had a great year

675
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: with the Eggies and like tw fourteen and then he

676
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: threw in a bunch of five and seven, six and

677
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: seven whatever type seasons. And it's not that people thought

678
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: any less of him, but the margin for air is

679
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: so much slimmer at a place like that. So when

680
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: he finally did have that double digit, double digit win

681
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: year last season, then it was like, I gotta take

682
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: advantage now. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, he's gonna I

683
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: think if he does slip, if Matt Campbell and the

684
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: Clones slip and have a clunker year, he will need

685
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: that prove a year. But I don't see that happening

686
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: anytime soon. He's recruited pretty well. I think he has

687
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: a blue chip quarterback coming in in this next class.

688
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: It's always gonna be tough to out recruit teams that

689
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: are that close or inside Texas. But uh, I foresee

690
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: this continuing for the Clones. So Bucks Guy, that's the

691
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: name we have here. Bucks Guy. Yeah, requested that I

692
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: read the full name of this bowl, okay, and.

693
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: He said, I might be headed to the Bad Boy

694
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: Mowers Gasparia Bowl. Mm hmm, as I'll be in the

695
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: area for Christmas games in Tampa. Yeah, what is the

696
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: word on this game? Any fun? Seems like it'll be

697
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: a blowout. So this is UCF and Marshall. I agree

698
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: that it will be a blowout. I think UCFS about

699
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: a seventeen point favorite. I'll put a fair amount of

700
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: confidence points on this one. All I would say to you,

701
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: sir Buck's guy, mister Bucks guy. I'm assuming this Bowl

702
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: game has previously been sponsored by titans in the business world,

703
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: such as Magic Jack, BFO, Brady's, and BitPay. So regardless

704
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: of the final outcome of the game, maybe it's a blowout,

705
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 2: maybe it isn't just walk around breathe that rarefied era

706
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: of Raymond James Stadium.

707
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: Dan, can I ask you a question about sponsorships in

708
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: light of both your comment and the fact that the

709
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: New Mexico Bowl almost got sponsored by a company that

710
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: doesn't technically exist or at least we talk in we

711
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: talk in CPM rates here. What are we talking now?

712
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: My question to you is, if there is a desperate

713
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: Bowl game that is sure it's going to sell a

714
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: lot of tickets, but it still needs a sponsor to

715
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: round out the books, to cover all of its costs whatever,

716
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: how inappropriate do you think? I mean, I'm sure there

717
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: are rules. I don't know if it's an NCAA thing.

718
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an ESPN thing. I don't

719
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: know if it's a specific bowl that has rules about

720
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: who they would accept sponsorship from. I only thought of

721
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: this because Tampa is so I've heard the strip club

722
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: capital of America. Sure, So I don't think they would

723
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: take a sponsorship from a strip club. Would they take

724
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: a sponsorship from if there were some modern equivalent of

725
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: like Maxim or Fahm, would they take a Hooters sponsorship?

726
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say, would they take a Hooter sponsorship?

727
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: I think they probably would. I think they would, right, Yeah,

728
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: I think especially a smaller bowl that really just needs

729
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: that infusion of cash to cover everything, I think you

730
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: would do a Hooter's bull Yeah.

731
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: Well, Dan, this is going to be the best segue ever.

732
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: As you know, it's an exciting time for sports, but

733
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: none more exciting than the NFL sophomore sensation. Lamar Jackson

734
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: is redefining what it means to be a dual threat quarterback.

735
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: The odds on Jackson to win the MVP race we're

736
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: at fifty to one to begin the year. They have plummeted,

737
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: making my bookies prop selection more attractive than ever. Then

738
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: next week we've got a stacked UFC card. Three championship

739
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: fights in the fourteenth all highly anticipated, of course, right

740
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 2: in the bedding capital of the world in Las Vegas.

741
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,640

755
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Do you have the breaking news sounds I do? From

756
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine, Hooters sponsored the

757
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: Hula Bowl. Oh yes, that's right, Yeah, I think the

758
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: Hula Bowl is coming back. By the way, Oh, I

759
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: would love that the Hula Bowl is coming back. According

760
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: to its Wikipedia page. The game was first played nineteen

761
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: forty seven to two thousand and eight and is being

762
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: revived following the twenty nineteen season to be played at

763
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: a Looha stadium first time. Since it's so, it's scheduled

764
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: for January twenty six, twenty twenty. So this is the

765
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: like an all star game. Yeah, not officially a bowl game. Also,

766
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: Lee Karso did a Hooters commercial in twenty eleven where

767
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: he was he put on the I remember that owl,

768
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: I remember that head, I remember that there is connection,

769
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: there is I want that's a technical bowl game.

770
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't just want the Blockbuster Bowl back. I want

771
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: the blue Bonnet Bowl back from the late eighties.

772
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: Bring that back, good copper ball, get more people to Arizona.

773
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Okay, next question, who do you want

774
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: to go to? N D Fan? Let's get this out

775
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: of the way. Oh, I'm ready.

776
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: Do you think Notre Dame is a coach away from

777
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: the elite class like Georgia when Georgia went from Mark

778
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 2: Richt to Kirby Smart. It's a loaded question, mister D fan. Yeah,

779
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: how do you feel?

780
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this one? Dan? So? We're

781
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: talking about a top three class. We're talking about a

782
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: ton of five stars and like seventy seventy five percent

783
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: plus rkship ratio.

784
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: No, he says, do you think Notre Dame is a

785
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 2: coach away from the elite class like Georgia?

786
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Oh the early class? Okay, I see what, Yeah say,

787
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: so upper top, wrong, upper crust of college football. And

788
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: he's comparing it to the Georgia situation when they went

789
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: from Mark Richt to Kirby smart Well. One, I don't

790
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: know who that is. I don't know who that coach

791
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: is that's taking the Notre Dame job, unless Urban Meyer's

792
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: taking it in a year or two, which I guess

793
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: it's possible. No, I think Notre Dame is in a

794
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: place where they are getting good enough classes, and it's

795
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: just they need to go undefeated, essentially, maybe eleven and

796
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: one to be in the conversation later on in the season,

797
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: because as we saw this year ten and two. And

798
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: maybe this is just me liking, you know, to see

799
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: Notre Dame cause you adjuta, But do they feel sort

800
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: of college football adjacent this year? Adjacent? Yeah, college football

801
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: like playoff adjacent. Even when they were good, it felt

802
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: like we were never really having conversations about big Notre

803
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: Dame games. I think partially because big Notre Dame games

804
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: didn't really exist near the end of the year. Well,

805
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: they were out of it towards the end of the year,

806
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: right And so we are not talking about Notre Dame

807
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: in a well, if they beat Clemson in the ACC

808
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: champ and ship the like, if Notre Dame were in

809
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: the ACC Coastal, we'd be talking about a Notre Dame

810
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: Florida Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl or whatever, right, well.

811
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: And part of that is the way that the schedule

812
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: naturally worked out. That Stanford game to close out the

813
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: year six months ago looked like it would be a

814
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: lot bigger than it ended up being. Definitely, so just

815
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: the natural rhythms of the season kind of took them

816
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: in a different direction. But after they got drilled by Michigan,

817
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 2: it was pretty much over. So yeah, yeah, definitely down

818
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 2: the stretch, we didn't talk a whole lot about Notre Dame.

819
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: I think it's a fair question to ask. I know

820
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: that there are many in the Notre Dame world that

821
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: are asking that question. The caveat, though, is that quote

822
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,479
Speaker 2: being a coach away from elite is the ultimate white

823
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 2: whale in college football. It worked at Georgia, it doesn't

824
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: work at most places. What state is Georgia located in Georgia.

825
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: It's in Georgia. It's easier to I mean, Notre Dame

826
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: is a big national brand and should be able to

827
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: attract national talents.

828
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: Easier to attract that kind of class and get or

829
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: that kind of excuse me, that just that kind of

830
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: talent and that kind of momentum at Georgia than it

831
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: is a Notre Dame. There is a talent gap.

832
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: A school like Georgia is deeper across the board, slowly

833
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 2: but surely. I think Brian Kelly has gotten Notre Dame

834
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: in a much much better spot in that department. In general,

835
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: they're in pretty good shape. They're in pretty good shape.

836
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: I think, as I said all year, they're a quarterback away.

837
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 2: I think they can get a better quarterback that.

838
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, now they need a coordinator too.

839
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: Well, now they need a coordinator, and maybe that coordinator

840
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: will do different things with the book. I don't know,

841
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: but I think they're a quarterback away, a more dynamic

842
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: quarterback away from maybe getting to that rung a little

843
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: more consistently.

844
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: But they're right there, they're knocking on the door. I'd

845
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: also say it's probably easier to attract a top flight

846
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: coach to Athens, Georgia. I would agree with that. Yeah,

847
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: it's a great place. Not that South Bend doesn't have

848
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: its charms. Athens, george is a great place.

849
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: You have a few more college football ones. And then

850
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 2: we'll go back off topic.

851
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: How many years at minimum? This is Minnesota a bomb?

852
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: This is what I'm trying to come up with, as

853
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: this person's user name. How many years at a minimum

854
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:18,479
Speaker 1: until we see a non Clemson Clesome ACC champion, non

855
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: Clemson ACC champion. Yeah, and I guess who is the

856
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: most likely non Clemson? Wow? And how many years will

857
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: it take for said team? Man? That is tough. It's

858
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: so you don't want you nobody's nobody's gonna be as

859
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: talented in the short term, right, No.

860
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: No, I mean the natural answer would be Florida State.

861
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: Florida State's sort of that natural rival. But I don't know,

862
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: years away, I don't know. I don't know, probably three

863
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: years at a minimum.

864
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: Three years.

865
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami's another one that you could throw in there.

866
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 2: They've got a promising freshman quarter back do they we

867
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: thought they did.

868
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: We did a whole thing on Willard, we did a

869
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: whole thing on them.

870
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: But at a minimum, it's got to be three years

871
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: for almost anybody in the ACC.

872
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's probably three years. I think you

873
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: can sneak into two the Okay, so we're looking at

874
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: promising young quarterbacks. I think I see two or no,

875
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: I probably see three right now in the conference. That's

876
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: that's the starting point you need. I see Hendon Hooker,

877
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: I see McHale calm yeah, and I see Sam Howell. Sure,

878
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: super promising young quarterbacks is a great place to start.

879
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: I think the answer is bra. I mean, Louisville's defense

880
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: is far away. That is a that is going to

881
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: take time. Virginia Tech has a new defensive coordinator, their

882
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: offense still needs some but you're not going to find

883
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: anybody inside three years. I think I could be talked

884
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: into Virginia Tech within two geez yeah. Or I could

885
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 1: actually be talked into man if Sam Howell keeps progressing.

886
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: Sam How's real good. He is real good. You see.

887
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: The thing is, I think it's going to be easier

888
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: to beat Clemson by just jumping up and getting them

889
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: late September and having that game advantage and run the

890
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 1: table in the Atlantic, or just finished with a better

891
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: record than it is to get Clemson at the end

892
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: of the season and beat them in late November early December.

893
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: That's fair. So that's why I almost favor Louisville here

894
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: that if in two years they get to a place

895
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: with transfers or whatever, Michael Cunningham still looks really strong.

896
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: That might be why my answers Louisville. Actually, all right,

897
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: next question, where are we going? Next question, let's go

898
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: to but we had a bunch of good ones here,

899
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: did I skip? I'm already onto the non college football.

900
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Sam Sam near the top of page one.

901
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: I always like that name. Okay, why should any fan

902
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: of a team other than Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, Georgia,

903
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: or Clemson think their team stands a chance of winning

904
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: a national championship in the next ten years? And let's

905
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: pair this question with Trevor, who asks, when, in your

906
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: opinion does a program stop being considered a blue blood

907
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: or when does it move to blue blood status? Okay,

908
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: because if we are going to work under the presumption

909
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: that you need to be or on the verge of

910
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: becoming a quote blue blood to win a national championship

911
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: where you're gonna have to have more depth than you

912
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: did before because you're gonna have to win two games

913
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: on neutral sites and big stages. How do we determine

914
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: blue bloodiness and why would fans outside of those current strong,

915
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: strong programs feel like they have a chance.

916
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question, and it really strikes you.

917
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 2: It really strikes at the.

918
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: Heart of why we root for college football at all.

919
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly there's investment being made, there are beat writers

920
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 2: writing about the investment being made, and there's no shortage

921
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 2: of fan enthusiasm, especially in the beginning of the year

922
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: when everyone's undefeated. So it's not hard for me to

923
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: understand how people feel like they.

924
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: Have a chance. So without knowing who Sam roots for,

925
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: because let's assume Sam roots for a team that's a

926
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: rung or two below Ohio State, Alabamalysy, Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma,

927
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: I would include in that because if you make multiple playoffs,

928
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: you're in that conversation, right, So, what you're a Notre

929
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: Dame fan, you root for a team that's you know,

930
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: a rung below. I'm an Oregon fan. I root for

931
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: a team that's a rung below.

932
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: How do we have a chance we make the playoff

933
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: and we get a chance to beat that team on

934
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: the field.

935
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: No, but you know that those teams are operating at

936
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: a higher level.

937
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 2: They're operating at a higher level. But you make the playoff,

938
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 2: you have a chance. All you can ask for is

939
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: to give yourself a chance.

940
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: So I think the feudal name nature of this question

941
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: comes from the fact that we've seen what one team

942
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: or one and a half teams from outside the general

943
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: consensus of that blue blood group make the playoff. Right,

944
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: we saw Michigan State. How did they fare against Alabama?

945
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: I got smoked, not super great, It was super evident

946
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: that they were just they did not blow On the

947
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: same field, we saw Oregon win a game against the

948
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 1: Florida State team, who I will still argue that Florida

949
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: State team was clearly more talented. They were just a mess.

950
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: And that's my points that's my point right there. But

951
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: we're talking about an Oregon team who had already been

952
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: to a national championship, who had been to four straight

953
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: BCS Bowls at that point, or it was four out

954
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: of five. It was like it was a year after

955
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: Chip left. They went to the Almo Bowl in twenty thirteen.

956
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: But Chip Kelly took Oregon to four straight BCS Bowls,

957
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: so it was not a matter of them. And I

958
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: know Michigan State had success leading up as well, but

959
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: there is an element of not exactly having the depth.

960
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: As we saw Oregon against Ohio State, they were down

961
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: too many players. In Ohio State, even though they were

962
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: down to their third string quarterback, that third string quarterback

963
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: was plenty good. And so that's the issue. That's the

964
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: issue at hand is that teams generally outside of that

965
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: grouping plus Oklahoma, I would say that he named are

966
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: just not going to be able to weather the grind

967
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: of going through both going through a season probably undefeated,

968
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: because you're not going to get the benefit of the

969
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: doubt with one or two losses and then going through

970
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: two of those teams. So my answer to him is,

971
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring this full circle. National championship doesn't matter.

972
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: Now.

973
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 1: You went into this season as a Notre Dame fan

974
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: without any designs of Notre Dame going to the National championship, right,

975
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: I did not believe that they would be a contender,

976
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: But you watched and you enjoyed yourself. I mean I

977
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: shouldn't say that. That doesn't mean I can't.

978
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean yourself for them to make it though,

979
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: right totally, which there is.

980
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: There's the hope. But you shouldn't have designs of it.

981
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: You just just.

982
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: Is the most illogical argument I've ever heard in my life.

983
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: You should not root for your team to win the championship.

984
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna write note that here, Okay, and.

985
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: I should also mention Notre Dame made it to the

986
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,479
Speaker 1: playoff last year for the first time and didn't hang

987
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: with the team that was put in front of them.

988
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: They did one point better than Alabama, though the defense

989
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: right point better than Alabai. Moving on, where are we

990
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: going next? No, but my general point is if you

991
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: view the sport as having a point beyond the national Championship,

992
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: which I think you should. I think you should, I should,

993
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: everybody should. And it's great if you root for one

994
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: of those great teams by all means have laser focus

995
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: on the national Championship. There's one hundred and twenty other teams,

996
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: and I think it's totally good to just root for

997
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: your team to play well. I root for your team

998
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: to play. Well, I don't. I don't.

999
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to call it like the hipster better

1000
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 2: than the championship argument, but it that's the only way

1001
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 2: I could describe it.

1002
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: I just I just fundamentally disagree. I don't know. That's okay,

1003
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: that's all right. I just disagree. Why don't Since we

1004
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: just brought it full circle and we're only having we're

1005
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: only doing a few more minutes of the show, why

1006
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: don't we designate this portion of the show to say,

1007
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: if you came here for college football Talk, yes, get out.

1008
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: That was so amazing of you to download the show

1009
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: and to listen, and hopefully you liked at least part

1010
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: of it. We're going to move on to other topics now. Yes,

1011
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: let's hit a couple of these. And it's been you

1012
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: know what, it feels great to do so ty it does.

1013
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: It's nice. So we asked you to give us questions

1014
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: both about college football, and we also said I think

1015
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: I said grocery stores, meeting your spouse's families, travel for

1016
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: bowl season, which I guess is college football related. I

1017
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: don't remember if it was. Oh, in sleep all things

1018
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: I feel passionately about. Sure, let's start here. Brian says,

1019
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: compounding the joy I felt watching LSU's historic season was

1020
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: sharing it with my new girlfriend from Monterey, Mexico. Money.

1021
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 1: It's great down there. She will be meeting my large

1022
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: Cajun family for the first time, and that includes watching

1023
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: the LSU Oklahoma game. My question is her English is

1024
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: just okay, and my family sounds like like a sleepy coach.

1025
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: Oh no, just a great way to describe people. What

1026
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: should my instructions be to my relatives? I am worried

1027
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: my family will overdo it and try too hard to

1028
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: communicate with her by talking slowly and loudly to her

1029
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: in English when it will not obviously will not help

1030
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: and only make her feel like a toddler. Okay, So

1031
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: my advice would be to just tell your family, Hey,

1032
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: she's from somewhere else. She's decent at speaking English. Whatever

1033
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 1: she doesn't pick up naturally, she'll probably get by context clues,

1034
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: and if I'm nearby, I can always pipe up if

1035
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: I feel like she's looking really, really confused. But I'm

1036
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: assuming that Brian's girlfriend is a grown up, and so

1037
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: it's it's basically, don't you Brian treat her like a

1038
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: toddler and don't and tell your family. Just be like,

1039
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 1: just talk. It's cool, She'll pick it up. It's fine.

1040
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: Well, he has an aster risk here that she understands

1041
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: the rules of football because she grew up watching the

1042
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 2: Mexican college football LIGAC. Yeah, which he said he had

1043
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: no idea has been around since the nineteen twenties.

1044
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so.

1045
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 2: You know football, football's universal language. There, start there and

1046
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: branch your way out. But no, no, don't treat her

1047
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: any differently man.

1048
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, you know, maybe if there is

1049
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: a specific relative who is difficult to understand and might

1050
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: wade into weird waters, maybe don't leave her alone with him.

1051
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Maybe be conscious that group settings involved, so that you

1052
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: have an ear to the wall to jump in if

1053
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: need be. But otherwise, yeah, I if Brian's smart enough

1054
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: to email our show, he's smart enough to have a

1055
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: cool girlfriend, so I assume everything will be good. All right,

1056
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: Where are we going next? Brad wants to know he's

1057
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: going to Japan. I love that we're going international at

1058
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: this one. Okay, going to Japan over Christmas to meet

1059
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's parents for the first time, ask their permission

1060
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: to marry their daughter. Whoa They don't speak English, so

1061
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,760
Speaker 1: girlfriend will translate any suggestions on what to say. Mahalo

1062
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: Brad in Hawaii. And actually it turns out Uh, a

1063
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: coworker of JODI's who is from Japan but lives here,

1064
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: is half Japanese. And I think her father, I forget,

1065
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: is his half Japanese. But her parents are in Japan

1066
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: married O guy that's from the state, so they have

1067
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: a similar thing. Although I think there's slightly less of

1068
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: a language barrier, but still a language barrier. What's your

1069
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: advice for Brad? Let me ask you a question.

1070
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, you had a much more creative proposal than

1071
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 2: I did.

1072
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, Would it.

1073
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: Be too big a risk for Brad to just go

1074
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: hardcore into the Japanese language right for the next couple weeks,

1075
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 2: however long.

1076
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: And become fully fluent.

1077
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: No no, no no no no no, no, A one trick pony, Yeah,

1078
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 2: just learn how to say hey, this one thing. Is

1079
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 2: that too much of a risk, because I guarantee you

1080
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: the parents would appreciate.

1081
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: It, So I think you are completely on the right track. Tie.

1082
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: I would go a little further, I would say, and

1083
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: it appears, And I did some digging about Brad oh a, right.

1084
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: If this comes sorry, if this comes off as now

1085
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: I didn't actually do anything, I have your social security No. No,

1086
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: I think Brad lists a bunch of different places. Like

1087
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: he says mahalo because he's Brad in Hawaii, but he's

1088
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: Hawaii via a couple of other international destinations. Okay, so

1089
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: I say, steer into his international background. Find somebody at

1090
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: a local university, find somebody on Reddit. Honestly, if there's

1091
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: a verballer who's fluent in Japanese, what I would say,

1092
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: people in Japan who listen. Yeah, that's true. Oh man,

1093
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: what is it? Brian C Brian Jones, Oh yeah, yeah,

1094
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: longtime listener. Maybe get at him. We can connect you.

1095
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: We'll connect here that I know that this is weird enough.

1096
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: We know our listeners. We do know our listeners. What

1097
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, connect with somebody who knows Japanese. Write

1098
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: out what you want to say. Say your daughter means

1099
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: the world to me. I couldn't imagine being with anybody else. Really,

1100
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: speak from the heart, really go for it. It doesn't

1101
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: have to be you know, paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs,

1102
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: but speak from the heart. Figure out what you want

1103
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: to say. Write it down, find somebody fluent in Japanese

1104
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: and see if you can get them to translate, and

1105
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: see if you can really get it phonetically, you know,

1106
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: pronounced for you, and to a video of it. Do

1107
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: make a video of you saying these things to her parents,

1108
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 1: bring it on your phone, show them. And also, if

1109
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: you can, and if you do get it translated, get

1110
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: it translated in a letter that you can give to them.

1111
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: So that's what I did with Jody with an I's parents.

1112
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: He translated into Japanese. I did it all in Japanese.

1113
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: I actually did it both in Japanese and in a

1114
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: couple of other languages, just to be saying far see

1115
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: and whatnot sure for sure, but I would also include

1116
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: in the video I say this in the video in Japanese.

1117
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: I only learned this part, so I will be unable

1118
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: to answer questions.

1119
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's an important disclaimer. Yes, that's an important disclaimer.

1120
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 2: So I get so our answer here to Brad, it

1121
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: depends on how risky he wants to get.

1122
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: If he thinks he's going to be nervous, I think

1123
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: you have to do that. I would do that myself,

1124
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: one hundred percent do it. I will not. I would

1125
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: not advise it. If I weren't going to do it myself,

1126
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: I'd say you have to do it on video because

1127
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: it also shows effort. Right, you're not asking permission in

1128
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: the traditional sense like it, They're not probably not going

1129
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: to say no.

1130
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: Well, the language shows effort. Regardless you learn the language,

1131
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: it shows effort. It shows effort. Her parents will appreciate that.

1132
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 2: So whether you do it live and fight off the nerves,

1133
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: or if you decide to go more of the production

1134
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: route and do the video. Either way, it's got to

1135
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 2: be in Japanese.

1136
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: We agree on this. It has to be has to

1137
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: be in Japanese, and we will if anybody's listening is

1138
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: fluent in Japanese and will want to help Brad out

1139
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: solid verbal at gmail dot com. If not, maybe I

1140
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: can try to ask Jody's coworker. I'm sure we have Japanese.

1141
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: We will make this work for Brad. We will, Okay,

1142
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: So I'm glad we agree on that. This was a

1143
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: question that was sort of contentious at one point in

1144
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: our show. Really it was about dogs. Oh boy, Oh

1145
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: not this one again. Oh No, what's Tie's opinion? Because

1146
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: sleep is one of the things we offered questions about

1147
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: what's Tie's opinion on letting his dogs sleep with him.

1148
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: Who has, Dan Klobashar, who has I find it possible.

1149
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: I find it possibly less RESTful when one of my

1150
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: dogs sleeps with me, But it's nice in the winter

1151
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: to use one for heat fore, so well, he's up

1152
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, so he needs that. Yes, and you sleep

1153
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: next to your wife, who I don't imagine provides a

1154
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of heat because she's just a smaller lady. So

1155
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: maybe your dog a furry presence in your life. Sure,

1156
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: does your dog sleep in bed with you ever? Not yet?

1157
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: But she's just a pup.

1158
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 2: The solid puppy has woven herself into our lives. Sure

1159
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 2: in such a way that I think we're at some

1160
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 2: point going to broach that subject. See if see if

1161
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: she's interested in coming up to sleep in the same room.

1162
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not as different than bed. Room is different

1163
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: than bed.

1164
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to like box myself in here by

1165
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: saying if the dog decides to jump up and sleep

1166
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: at our feet, then I'm gonna kick her off because

1167
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 2: I won't. I don't think i'd be too gung ho

1168
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 2: and having her sleep like next to me on the pillow.

1169
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Especially if you have allergy issues. That's like, that's three

1170
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: hours of dander right up your nose.

1171
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a good option, But I think I

1172
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: could be swayed into her at our feet.

1173
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: What if we end up going back to a Dakota

1174
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: next year? Right? Okay, we go see the Jacks in

1175
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: South Dakota. Yeah, yeah, and you come back home. Kate's

1176
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: been home obviously a couple days without you. She was like, Oh,

1177
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: the the dog actually really likes sleeping in bed, and

1178
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I like it. Are you putting up a fight? Are you?

1179
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Is that what a foot down issue for you that

1180
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, I don't know if that's

1181
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: my favorite thing or are you just gonna roll with it?

1182
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends if I have my spot in

1183
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the bed right, Let's say it's an adjusted spot. Let's

1184
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: say the dog takes up part of the dmz Ah,

1185
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Such a good question.

1186
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: Next question, Jason wants to know, how do you feel

1187
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: about Trader Joe's. My contention is that they don't carry

1188
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: many pantry staples, and therefore it's not one stop grocery shopping,

1189
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and we have a couple of grocery store questions. Cody

1190
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: asked about if we prefer regional or national chains, like

1191
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: a wind Dixie, Public's, Wegmans, or a Walmart would be

1192
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: a national chain. Trader Joe's is a national chain. Is

1193
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: this decision based on price, service, convenience? Tie? Right? You

1194
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: know you are one stop shopper though. You know my

1195
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: stance on Trader Joe's, right, I know you're afraid. I'm

1196
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: not afraid. That's what I've heard.

1197
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 2: I think Trader Joe's tries to be tries a little

1198
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 2: too hard to be unique, and people swear by Trader Joe's.

1199
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I know, you go to a grocery store that has

1200
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: a pub in it, a craft beer pub tie. Yeah,

1201
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: but it's a Wegman's. It's a Wegmans. My theory on

1202
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's do you even have a Trader Joe's near you?

1203
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, I don't.

1204
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 2: My theory with Trader Joe's is that all of the

1205
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: prepared foods have one ingredient that does not belong because

1206
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: they're trying to be just a little too creative.

1207
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: So a sandwich with.

1208
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Maybe like turkey and cheese and mayonnaise, and maybe something

1209
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 2: crazy like peanut butter. Like that's not a good example.

1210
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: But there's always one ingredient that is a little too

1211
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: avant garde.

1212
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Use you're out on turkey peanut butter sandwiches. I am,

1213
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I'm not going to. Trader Joe's

1214
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: is not a sponsor. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's,

1215
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: mostly because it's not terribly far from me. There are

1216
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: a couple of them in Brooklyn, so it's convenient. It's large.

1217
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Grocery stores in New York are generally terrible. I don't

1218
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: want to go to whole Foods, so I like it.

1219
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of private label stuff. It's not like

1220
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: they're making everything. Sure, you just got to know where

1221
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: they're strong and where they're not. But like, if their

1222
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: meat isn't that good, that's okay. There are butchers around,

1223
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: and so it's not one stop shot. But I would

1224
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: argue that many grocery stores shouldn't be looked at as

1225
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: one stop shot. What do you really care?

1226
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 2: What's interesting though, there is a store nearby that I

1227
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: would compare to a Trader Joe's. Okay, And you find

1228
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 2: that as you go to that store more frequently. You

1229
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: sort of talk yourself into the weird stuff, like, oh,

1230
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: that's kind of that's kind of interesting. Maybe I'll give

1231
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 2: that a shot. So I certainly get the allure. I've

1232
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 2: had bad experiences at Trader Joe's, but if there were

1233
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 2: one yearby, I'd probably go.

1234
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm full of a We have a bunch of questions.

1235
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Somebody asked about the weirdest place I fell asleep an infant,

1236
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: But weird. It's not weird, are the questioner? I think?

1237
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Is it Kelly? Old friend Kelly, And by old I

1238
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: mean the number of years, not the person being old. Sure,

1239
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: it appears that she fell asleep in a dental chair,

1240
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: which would be tough. I could do that. I've fallen

1241
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: asleep on his playmat while playing, but not in public,

1242
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: not from being deprived of sleep. Other sleep questions. Best

1243
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: strategy for sleep with a newborn You gotta take turns,

1244
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: gotta take turns with your spouse. You got to get

1245
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: windows in. I would strongly recommend not a sponsor, but

1246
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: sleep training. And the one we used is a program

1247
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: called Taken Kara Babies. It's a woman named Kara, and

1248
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: it was great. Little man was sleeping before Jody with

1249
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: and I went back to work. Sleep. How do you

1250
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: accomplish it? Ty, how do you accomplish it?

1251
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

1252
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Man, I'm not good. I'm the wrong person. Ask this

1253
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: question too. When have you slept the best? Is? What

1254
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: has been your preparation?

1255
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 2: My preparation has usually been about five nights of not sleeping.

1256
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Well, sure, deprivation not recommended strategy. Medically now, that's my answer.

1257
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't have a bill. That's your answer. It's that's

1258
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: the best time you sleep. I would say exercise, drinking

1259
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: plenty of water. Obviously we're a pro hydration show. Maybe

1260
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: some meditation, you know, not looking at the blue light devices,

1261
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: your iPad, your your phones, whatever, your tablet's TVs, within

1262
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: like twenty minutes before bed, do some reading.

1263
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 2: There are some podcasts that I can listen to that'll

1264
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 2: put me to sleep asap.

1265
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: But it's the maintenance. You got to stay asleep too,

1266
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: got to stay asleep. That's a problem. Yeah, and breathing exercises.

1267
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: Let's do really really go for it. Let's do two

1268
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: more here quick? Okay, two more quick? Do you want

1269
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: to do? You have any questions that you'd like to answer.

1270
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Here's one. No, I got one from Heather. Will you

1271
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: be continuing the two s cruse next season? The answer

1272
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: is yes, with an asterisk. With an asterisk, We're not

1273
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: revealing the asterisk yet. That is correct, factually correct. There

1274
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: will be some There will be a big picture show,

1275
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: yes that like we are doing this season, but beyond that,

1276
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: we have no further comment, Heather. Sorry, Zach wants to

1277
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: know where he should eat in Philly.

1278
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Oh man, don't ask me this question. You're you're way

1279
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 2: more in tune with Philly restaurants.

1280
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm not that great, but uh, South Philly

1281
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Barbicoa for Mexican and pizzeria, it's either Bettia or Badilla.

1282
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,439
Speaker 1: B E D D I A are on my hit list.

1283
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: And for a nicer place, zahav z A h A V.

1284
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: I like Della Sandro's for cheese steaks. Nice. What's your

1285
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: preferred cheese steak arrangement.

1286
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 3: I'm not a big cheese whiz guy same to be honest,

1287
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 3: but I know since it's like the official Philly cheese

1288
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 3: steak recipe, whiz wit is what I go with.

1289
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: MMM. So that's the cheese steak. You get the wiz

1290
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: and you get the onions. Yeah, I would leave out

1291
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: the whiz. I would do like the white American cheese

1292
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. It is the closer to food option. I

1293
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: just me. Ryan wants to know if he goes to

1294
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: the Cotton Bowl, so I presume he is Penn State

1295
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: or Memphis fan. Would it be better to stay in

1296
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: Dallas and go to Austin for a day So I guess,

1297
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: fly to Dallas and do a day trip in Austin

1298
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: or stay in Austin and go to Dallas for the game.

1299
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I would offer, see what we did, ty, Yeah, I

1300
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: thought we did it great. That was fun. You only

1301
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: do the drive once this way because it's it's three hours.

1302
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: But that's again speaking of asterisk. There's traffic, there's it depends.

1303
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 2: It depends where you're coming from. It depends where you're

1304
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 2: coming from. Austin is not always the cheapest flight, so true,

1305
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 2: depending on your on your situation and what you want

1306
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 2: to spend. I would agree with Dan. I would I

1307
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 2: would go to Austin and I'd make the trip up

1308
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: to Dallas for the game. And if you stan of

1309
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Dallas and fly out of Dallas, stay in Dallas, flat

1310
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: of Dallas. But if you can fly to Austin, rent

1311
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: a car and drive up to Dallas. The drive might suck,

1312
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 2: but we enjoyed going to Buckis. We had a lot

1313
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 2: of fun sure on that drive up, So that was

1314
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 2: that was a good time.

1315
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: Got some in and out. Yeah, this is best burger chain.

1316
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm such a bad person. If not fly to Dallas,

1317
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: enjoy Dallas bone appetite food restaurant city of the Year,

1318
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Go to the game, hopefully have a good time, and

1319
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: then drive down to Austin, you know, for twenty four

1320
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: or forty eight hours, and maybe fly out of Austin

1321
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 1: if that's a better option. Do what's affordable.

1322
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 2: I have a question here to close out the show. Okay,

1323
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 2: this is actually something final question. This is actually something

1324
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: that you and I need to talk about and haven't yet.

1325
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:29,799
Speaker 1: We've long joked that.

1326
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 2: We should do a board of Directors meeting podcast where

1327
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 2: we talk shop and no one would listen, but it'd

1328
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 2: be for our own amusement.

1329
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: Right, So this is kind of in that vein.

1330
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 2: But you know, since we've made it through a full

1331
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 2: calendar year, now, where are we going next year for

1332
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 2: our live shows?

1333
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: Where would you like to go? Or should we open

1334
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: it up to people, let us know where we should go.

1335
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: We should open it up to people. We haven't done

1336
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: a West Coast show yet. We haven't. I would love

1337
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I've loved all of our shows, the fact

1338
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: that people came in from all over to go to

1339
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: see us in Dallas, DC. We had people throughout the

1340
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: South coming to see us in Atlanta, throughout the Midwest,

1341
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: SUS in Chicago obviously, we've got a lot of people

1342
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: in the Tri state area here in New York. I'd

1343
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: like to do a West Coast show if I had

1344
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: to go back somewhere. I had a great time at Minneapolis,

1345
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: by the way, I would love to see Minneapolis in

1346
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: the summer. It was awesome. Yeah, that was a lot

1347
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: of fun. That was great. It was great too because

1348
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: we were indoors and they had heat. It's great brewery,

1349
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: great food, great pizza. Somewhere on the West coast, LA

1350
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: or Portland or Bay area, I don't know, somewhere like that.

1351
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: And then Chicago's real fun. Chicago is fun.

1352
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: See. I have a really hard time with this one

1353
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 2: because it's around that time of year where we have

1354
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 2: to start.

1355
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to do another New York one that's easy

1356
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: for me.

1357
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 2: I feel like I want to hit everywhere. I know

1358
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 2: we can't, but the West Coast is definitely on the

1359
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 2: short list. We've had people ask us we'd love to

1360

Speaker 2: do la let us know where we should go next.
