00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: Let me you know, I've been so anticipating talking to

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: you today because I'm trying to figure out I was

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: thinking to you on fourth of July. Okay, you know

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: I've been on this this clean diet kick, right, I

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: had a hot dog. I gave myself the grace to

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: have a hot dog. It was far better than the

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: real chicken rice eating every day for you know, six weeks,

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: seven weeks at this point.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: But that does mean well, I'm glad that you've you

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: did that.

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it was one hot dog, you know,

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: But here's my biggest I was thinking of you as

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: I ate that hot dog because I remember when we

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: were hanging out and talking after Thanksgiving and you were

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: talking about how, you know, as a proud Italian, your

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving feast a little bit different. So I was sitting

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: there and I looked at it. I giggled to myself

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: because I was like his cousin eating an Italian sausage

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: right now? Is is that the way they worked?

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: Like?

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: Is there a different tradition when you're an Italian Philly

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: like like that that just through and through? Is it

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: still the good old fashioned you know, hamburger, hot dog,

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: apple pie?

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: Or is there some difference here?

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: Well, it's great, that's that's uh, that's a great question.

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: So actually I did have an Italian sausage. That's the

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: tri square to God. My sister had a barbecue. Now

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: they had steak. We had some steaks and some you know, hamburgers,

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: hot dogs and sausage. But I do love like the

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Italian sausage. So I like you, I'm trying to do better.

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: You know, you're far more You're successful at it. But

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll have no I was thinking about

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: a hot talk because of the you know, they puts it.

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: It puts it in your head that you know, the

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: hot doggin me contest. They're like, you know what, I

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: need a good hot dog. But the Italian sausage was

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: sitting there, and I was like, that looks delicious, So

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: I grabbed the sausage. I had half a steak and

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: a sausage see July.

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: And that feels like the right thing. And by the way,

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: not for nothing Italian song like even as I finished

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: the hot dog, which again was a delight when you're

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: used to eating egg whites porridge and you know, chicken

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: and rice all day. But I will say this, like

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: I as I finished it, I thought, yeah, I should

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: have waited for an Italian sausage because they're they're plumpier,

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: you know, They're just they got a little bit more,

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: they got a little bit more snap to them. They're

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: just better. They're better.

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: So he's got a little bit better it too, you

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: know what I mean. The bite is I like it

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 2: with the especially when they do the Italians with the fannel.

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: So the fennel seats so it's got the heat and

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: then the fenel and the so it gives it it

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: gives it a little bite to it instead of the

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: normal dog.

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: See that's that's a smart that's a smart way to go.

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: And I got a buddy that's like a you know,

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: he's a chef, right, so he's like a in a

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: local restaurant. And so he came over later in the

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: day and I'd already have my hot dog and I

74
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: was gonna get myself one hot dog. He came over

75
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: later in the day and he's like, I brought some

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: you know, brought some dogs. But then he did like

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: this special sauce on it, and he grilled the buns

78
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: and like that was the next level. And I looked

79
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: at it and thought, yeah, I should have waited. I

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: should I should have waited for the properly made like

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: how you grill these things. It makes a massive difference.

82
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: I will concede that point all day every day. So

83
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: you know, it was a good splurge. But I also

84
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: think hot dogs are I am the hot take of

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: the week seems to be. I think the Fourth of

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: July overall a little overrated. Like it's it's fine, you know,

87
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: but it's the food's always just sort of like, yeah,

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: you're grilling most of the time your buddies are putting

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: out like they're hot dogs that are fine, They're hamburgers

90
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: that are fine, like all the usual sides are fine

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: at the fourth of July, they're not. They're not spectacularly

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: they're fine. Fireworks are fine. And it all comes with

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: the whole heap inside of a lot of butt cracks, weat,

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: and I don't really love that.

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: So, like, I'm just telling you, like the.

96
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: Whole dude, I'm with you. I'm out, I'm out, dude.

97
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I think you're spot on of

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: all the holidays. And I'm not talking about its significance

99
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: because obviously it's you know, of course right, it's poignant.

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: But but if you just go with the holiday, eh,

101
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: it's a me. It really is, like it's a man.

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: And it's probably due with the because I'm like you,

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I like the heat, right, but the heat's

104
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: only good is if you're in somewhere like like the

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: shore with an ocean, right, like a beach, you know,

106
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: knock me out pool. But but if you're just backyard grass, hey,

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: you know I can't. I've been better, you know what

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean? They give me autumn, you know what I'm

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: saying all day, give me football man, Like that's it.

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: So I'm with you. The only significance for me is

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: this is like the first true pieline like mile post right,

112
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: like you get pasto pass forwardly because in the business,

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: and now you know that's better than anybody. Like all

114
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: the football people, this is the end of their vacation.

115
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: So I got a buddy of mine, Matt Ruhle, coaches Nebraska,

116
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: and I'm like, dude, what's your plan or you're around

117
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: Monday and he said, no, I'm flying back Sunday. He's

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: at the Jersey Shore or flying back Sunday and we

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: have a meeting Sunday night, and then they get ready

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: because the coach to get ready for camp. My other

121
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: friend is Steve Spagnola from the Chiefs. He's down the

122
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: same Jersey Shore there. I said, what's your deal? He said,

123
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: we got one more week left. He's like, I'll be

124
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: here Sunday that we're flying out, him and his wife

125
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: flying out for a week and then next Sunday back

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: to Kansas City because we got camp. So I give

127
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: you this because to me, this is the last kind

128
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: of thing. This is it, Like the camp's around the corner.

129
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: That's a huge point to another reason that I personally

130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: don't love the fourth the same way. Again, we're not

131
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: talking about the meeting behind it, but everything you just

132
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: said speaks to the fact that it's a dead time

133
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: for sports in general.

134
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: Like, think about it, it's such.

135
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: A dead day that we were trying to create controversy

136
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 3: around hot tal gating. That's where we are. And I

137
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: realized there were some baseball games on during the course

138
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: of the day, but nothing that people flock to at least,

139
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: Like if you're not super into Thanksgiving, you know that,

140
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: Like I'm okay on Thanksgiving. I don't love Thanksgiving the

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: same way, but I got football all day, So like,

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: I don't really have to love Thanksgiving. Even if you're

143
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: you're somebody in the world that unfortunately has a really

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: sad Christmas, and there are a lot of people like that.

145
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: There are huge sporting events that can at least service

146
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: somewhat of a distraction, you know, Like you've got football,

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: you've got basketball, You've got all sorts of things going on.

148
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: You know, you look at the calendar of sports and

149
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: most of it like all right, Saint Patrick's Day, you're

150
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: right in the thick of March madness.

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: There's all the stuff going on around it.

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: This year there were NCAA games on Saint Patty's date, right, Like,

153
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: so you look at.

154
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: A little Labor Day action. Oh god, college football, man, Like,

155
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Labor Day is a great day.

156
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: That again, And I find myself just sitting there on

157
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: fourth of July and I'm hanging with some buddies. I

158
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: look up and I was like, oh, there's an Orioles

159
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: Mariners game on mah and like literally that was the reaction.

160
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: And one of the guys turned the TV channel to

161
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: a replay at the hot dog eating contest. So it's like,

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: that's how just sort of sports board we are in

163
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: the fourth because it's great for the coaches that are

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: getting their end of their summer vacation, and even you know,

165
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: if you're going to year round schools in parts of

166
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: the country, you've only got a couple of weeks left

167
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: before you're back in, right, So I get why that

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: has good meeting. But man, it's not a great sports holiday.

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: It's not a great weather holiday, especially if you're in

170
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: the South. My god, like the humidity. It's not a

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: great food holiday. It's just in fireworks in general, well

172
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: a little love a.

173
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: Rated Yeah, I'm with you, you and I are we

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: walk his brothers. The fireworks is like, all right, you know,

175
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: it's nice like once you see see the problem with

176
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: fireworks is once you've seen one one display, you've really

177
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: seen them all, you know, and the finales are great,

178
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: like you know, I mean obviously it wasn't like a finale,

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: but after a while, like you see one firework display,

180
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: I mean, what else? What else you're gonna do? It's

181
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: the saying it's it's kind of redundant, to be honest

182
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: with you, So I like, I feel you on that,

183
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: and I feel you on baseball, like I love baseball,

184
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: but you know, I mean, it's at this point, it's

185
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: it's monotonous, like this is what this is how you're

186
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: viewing it, Like you're like all right, you know, like

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: I can sit here and watch baseball and watch it

188
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: get your favorite team. You can watch a game, go

189
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: to a game, but it doesn't give you the tingles

190
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: like football or any kind of big you know, play

191
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: basketball tournament or whatever. It doesn't give you that that

192
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: kind of tingle. And I think that's kind of what

193
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: you're looking for. What you're kind of seeking out. Like

194
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: we watched the Phillies were over because they were in

195
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: Chicago's who I remember watching some of the Phillies. But

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: then we as a family watched Jaws, right, because that's

197
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: the summer move we watch, So we watched you know,

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: we watched Jaws and that kind of was you know

199
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: whatever it was. It was an okay day, you know,

200
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: it was nice, like we weroll together so so God

201
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: bless right. But to your point, sports is your best friend, right,

202
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: Sports is always your best friend because sports is around

203
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: at all times, right, Like, like you said, except fourth July,

204
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: it's really the only time, even Memorial Day, which is

205
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: the gateway kickoff summer. Right, Memorial Day you had the

206
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 2: NBA NHL Finals going on, right, like, so you got playoffs, man,

207
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: but you're you're spot on with this.

208
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, even if you don't have something to watch,

209
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: at least if you're standing, you know, at the grill

210
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: with somebody that you don't know that well, or the

211
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: neighbor that's kind of hard to talk to, you got

212
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: that super easy, Like, oh man, how about how about

213
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: the finals right now? Like, you know, how about them Celtics.

214
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: It's like an easy conversation starter for the July You're

215
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: just like, so Joey Chestnut eating on his own.

216
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: It's just not a conversation, you know.

217
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: And it grosses me out watching that. Oh yeah, I can't.

218
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: I know you covered it right, and I can't do it.

219
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do it. Every year I go,

220
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: oh for and I just go, I can't watch. This

221
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: is gross, like because the hot tol itself, it starts

222
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: to skiv ye out right, like when you watch, like

223
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: when you were there, like you said, this smell was

224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: on godly.

225
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, you're You're right, like the whole the

226
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: whole process. When you see just the way they're essentially

227
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: choking themselves with hot dogs trying to get them down.

228
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: It's just it's it's a tough watch, I'll be honest.

229
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: And you know, at this point, I have friends involved

230
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: with it and I wanted to watch it to support

231
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: and I made it through a couple of minutes and

232
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, this is just it's not it's

233
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: not my bag. If I'm not participating in it, it's

234
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: just a different. It hits different, you know, And I'm

235
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: with you the whole way. Watching it was and the

236
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: fact that no matter this year, no matter what happened,

237
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: the fact that somebody won, they worked their whole life

238
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: to win, and then immediately it's like, well didn't need

239
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: as many as Joey does. It's it's it was just

240
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: such a lose lose situation this year. I felt like

241
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: the hot dog eating contest even didn't have the usual juice,

242
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: so you know, it's a weird. That's a weird spot

243
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: to be in.

244
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: The usual hot dog juice. There's nothing more schevy than that.

245
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: So well, you guys were to Cather yesterday, My boys,

246
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: what happened was the show.

247
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: It was good, it was fun, you know, like, figure, yes, Shay,

248
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: we got to hang out. We were we were filling

249
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: in yesterday.

250
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: In fact, told me because you guys were to call me,

251
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, yeah, let me know.

252
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're really the way the way I heard

253
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: it is, cousin is in to hang out. And then

254
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: we were like, well did did we get cousin? He's like, yeah,

255
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: we haven't heard back. So that's you know, we figured

256
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: you were busy. You were fourth of July star a man.

257
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: I told them, dude, just get out, give me a time.

258
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: I get the whole thing, give me a time, all right?

259
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Like see the Wallston translation is he says to me,

260
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: are you around? I went absolutely right, just you know,

261
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: and then he wrote back, all right, what's a good time?

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: And I was like just kind of waiting for him

263
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: to say, give me a time. I'll be honest with you.

264
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: I was like, and then I forgot about it. Well,

265
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: I was like, look, you got my boys were hanging out.

266
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: The way we were. We were almost the fellas.

267
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: We were just like the laws there because there's no

268
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: fellows looking at me the whole thing. We were just

269
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: the laws going into it.

270
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean a good time.

271
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: We filled in for got leave, and then we filled

272
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: in for Kavino and Rich and you know, got to

273
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: give the fellows a little love and talked a little

274
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: bit about you know, we tried to power rank the holidays.

275
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: We took the college football Playoff Committee approach and argued

276
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: about the holidays as we've done on the show with

277
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: other things in the past, and couldn't even come to

278
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: a consensus number two holiday. That's how that's how weird.

279
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: It got right out of the gates.

280
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: But we had a good time, you could, So you're

281
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: number two because your anti Thanksgiving, Figgi was probably number two.

282
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: Is just Thanksgiving, right Figgi?

283
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: Figgy and I think Shay had Thanksgiving at number two,

284
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: and then Iowa sam and I didn't have Thanksgiving in.

285
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: Our top five.

286
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: So as a result, Thanksgiving was torpedo down to number three,

287
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: which felt, you know, felt terrible to Iowa Samini because

288
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: we didn't want it to be number three.

289
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 4: But if that means it was number two year Halloween,

290
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: Halloween came in.

291
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, Halloween. I want to tell yeah, Halloween. It's

292
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: a great holiday, dude. I would, I might be with you,

293
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: and I may go Halloween too.

294
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: Here's the thing I don't have to worry about, you know,

295
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: a problematic cousin saying something that defends the entire room

296
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: at Halloween. I do with Thanksgiving, you know, like above

297
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: and beyond even just the food conversation, Like, let's just

298
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: be real, the idea of hanging out with family all

299
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: day on Thanksgiving for you know, I'd say eighty percent

300
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: of the world is far better than the actual execution

301
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: of it. You know, it's just it gets a little weird,

302
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: gets a little weird. So you know, Thanksgiving didn't it

303
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: didn't fall there for me. But yeah, we ended up

304
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: with you.

305
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I gotta definitely gotta take the pilgrimage up

306
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: to see.

307
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: Your house, well one hundred percent, and I'm just gonna

308
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: come up to your place for Thanksgiving.

309
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: We'll trade holidays and that way, you know, I'll get

310
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: good at that.

311
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm in man, I think that's great. I think you

312
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: should do that.

313
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: We ended up with Christmas one.

314
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: We ended up Halloween two, Thanksgiving three, and fourth of

315
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: July fourth, and I.

316
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: Was completely outvoted on that.

317
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: Like I just I thought Saint Patrick's Day. I think

318
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day's better. Like nobody has a bad Saint

319
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day, I mean unless they triag too much. But

320
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: still like Saint Patrick's Day, you got like the cheesy

321
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: parade nobody really cares about, but it's still there, and

322
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: you got everyone a good time. New Year's Day, so

323
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: some of the guys pointed out that New Year's Day

324
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: isn't always as exciting, you know, as you get older,

325
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: you don't make it to midnight, and so there was

326
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: a little bit less love for New Year's Day than

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: I expected. I had New Year's Day four on my list,

328
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: but it didn't make mony.

329
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: That's not even clothes. I mean that just that Trump's

330
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: like that tramples Fourth of.

331
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: July, yeah to one hundred percent agree, like New Year's Day,

332
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve.

333
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: That whole process is.

334
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: I think that one's become a little underrated, where Fourth

335
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: of July is overrated to me?

336
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, no love for the Labor Day.

337
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: Labor Day, I got no love. Nobody put Labor Day

338
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: in there anywhere, And I was a little surprised Labor

339
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: Day didn't make it into the combo our committee failed.

340
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: You're a college football fan, you know Labor Day is

341
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: a big deal.

342
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: And I think one of the things you learned in

343
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: the exercise above, and beyond just the fact that I

344
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: say this all the time, if I if I forced

345
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: thirteen of your friends to get into one room and said, Okay,

346
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: you guys are now a committee and you have to

347
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: bet on the you have to vote on the best

348
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: pizza places in your town, you would end at not

349
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: having thirteen friends.

350
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: Like, nobody can agree on anything.

351
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: And we take that for granted when we think the

352
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: College Football Committee has it easy. But the other part

353
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: is imagine being the committee chair that has to stand

354
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: up and speak for a committee vote that they don't

355
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: like at all, and they can't say that, Like, if

356
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: I was committee chair, I'd come in. I'd be like, y'all,

357
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: let's start with the elephant in the room. I have

358
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: no idea why we've got this team at number four.

359
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 3: But they can't do that in the committee. They got

360
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: to stand up and say, well, you know, the committee

361
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: looked at it really hard. I'm looking, I can't even

362
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: defend our committee holiday rankings without you know, giving the

363
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: caveat that I didn't like them, And all of a sudden,

364
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about what it's like having defend to defend

365
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: the college football playoff committee. That would be brutal.

366
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: Dude, that's so on point, so on point. There is

367
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: so much wrong with that thing, And you're right, it's

368
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: because of the nature of the committee. As much as

369
00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: the committee sounds like a great idea, it's never good.

370
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: Well and to me, the only real solution that would

371
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: ever come is if you, at the end of every

372
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: single vote, when the committee makes their statement, put them

373
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: all on one long stage and give everybody a mic

374
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: and ask everybody to defend their Like, let me ask

375
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: a coach specifically why that coach put that team in

376
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: that number. And for anyone that says, well that could

377
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: make them hesitate to vote, all I'll say is somebody

378
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: that you know. I vote on the Bulletnikoff every year

379
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: for the best wide receiver in college football.

380
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: I also have had a Grammy vote for a lot

381
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: of my life.

382
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: I'm transparent on who I vote for, because if I'm

383
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 3: going to have the honor of a vote, I got

384
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: to be willing to stand behind it. And I look

385
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: at the committee the same way.

386
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: Oh with you. I voted for a Heisman forever. You know,

387
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: did various awards in football and the NFL, NBA, baseball,

388
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: And I'm with you. I think you have to be

389
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: that way. I think it's only right that you defend

390
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: your position on why because you also know that you

391
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: can tell who is on point right like you know, Okay,

392
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: well that's a great case pass like like then that's

393
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: good right like so so I think that's that's a

394
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: huge thing. All right. We got lots to do today.

395
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: I got a couple of football things I got to

396
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: throw by you. We celebrate college football. The College Football

421
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: fourth July weekend. Hey, I got one baseball for the

422
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: Baseball is a fascinting game. Baseball is macro right, whereas

423
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: the other sports, like you hone in on the singular games.

424
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: The fascinating thing about baseball, and it's going on with

425
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: the Yankees. The Yankees lose again last night, Like they

426
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: were up three nothing and they lose five to three

427
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: X ratings to the Red Sox. Dude, did you their

428
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: collapse is like epic right now? This team was on fire.

429
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: They were forty nine and twenty one on June twelfth.

430
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: Since then, they're the worst team. Since then, they're the

431
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: worst team in the league. They're five and fifteen, Like,

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: what accounts for that? It's so interesting because really it's

433
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: not like they add like the Braves had like two

434
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: serious injuries, right Strider and a Kunya, but the Yankees

435
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: haven't had you know, I'm the devastating injuries.

436
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting because what do you make of it?

437
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: Whenever you have this in I think anytime we see

438
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: this in baseball, where you have a team that's so

439
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: good and then plays so poorly, you're trying to figure

440
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 3: out what the real version is like will the real

441
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 3: slim shady still please stand up? Sort of thing? And

442
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: I think what's wild about it? When it happens as

443
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: ways we want to excuse it. We want to turn

444
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: around and say, well, you know, team's just a little bored.

445
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: It's the mid season blues. It's all those like you

446
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: want to find a reason or a moment like will

447
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 3: the All Star break help them sort of recharge? But

448
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: you're right, the hardest part about Major League Baseball and

449
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: the smartest way to look at it my mind, is

450
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: to take it weeks at a time and then say, okay, well,

451
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 3: now what do you have? And right now what you

452
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: have is a Yankees team that's falling apart. And it's

453
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: easy if they had played a spot in their schedule

454
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: they were playing terrible teams, I could easily excuse it

455
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: and say, okay, you know what, they're just checked out

456
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 3: right now, they'll be fine. But this series, particularly over

457
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 3: the weekend, is supposed to be a massive one, right

458
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: and the Red Sox aren't world beaters right now, so

459
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: right so there is this moment of you just lost

460
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: to a bad Red Sox team. I have a mediate

461
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: ochre Red Sox team at this point, it feels gross.

462
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: It's just free nothing too, Like you're you're up free

463
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: nothing quartetspits really well for you, and you just you

464
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: blow the lean like that's you know, that's it's just

465
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: the anomaly of baseball and numbers right when you're they

466
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: were that good forty nine to twenty one, and you

467
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: know it's you know, the Phillies lost Bryce Harper and

468
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber, like their big bats in their lineup, and

469
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: they're still kind of, you know, muddling through and winning games.

470
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: So how come the Yankees just you know, fell flat

471
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, they had a couple of tweaks

472
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: here and there, but did nothing. You know, it's not

473
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: like you're losing Judge and Soto for the Lion's sharing

474
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: that well.

475
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: And what would we be saying if there was another

476
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: logo on the chest, you know, if this was Kansas

477
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: City that started off the hottest team in baseball and

478
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden was the worst, what will

479
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: we be saying. We'd be saying, Wow, the real Royals

480
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: have shown up, right, this is what we expected all year.

481
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: It just feels different with the Yankees because, like I've

482
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: been saying for two weeks with the Lakers. There are

483
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: certain organizations that have one expectation that's a championship.

484
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: So that's the Yankees.

485
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: So when you see really good baseball followed by really

486
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 3: bad baseball, it just it feels a little catastrophic to

487
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 3: the fan base, rightfully, so because the expectation isn't just oh, man,

488
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: we had a good, good season. That's not that doesn't

489
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: work for the Pinstripes. We all know that. So you

490
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: got to get it right, and you got to get

491
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: it right quickly. The question is how do you get

492
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: it right and what change.

493
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 4: Can you make? And that's I think the artist.

494
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: If you can't identify why things are going wrong, how

495
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: do you identify what to what to fix right? And

496
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 3: that's I think the hard part for the Yankees right now.

497
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: Now you're your your dear spot on. All right. So

498
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: I kind of die to get this because college football,

499
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: the game is coming out. So I like, I got

500
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: my kid, I got my maswall Like, I'm like, dude,

501
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 2: college football. Even my older one who's not the biggest

502
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: sports video game guy but he's a big football player.

503
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: I go, dude, we got to do the family tournament, man,

504
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: all right? Like this is a big deal college football

505
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: coming out, it's coming back, and so like they're all

506
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: fired up over it. It's it's one of those games that

507
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: it just struck a chord. So I'll ask you, right

508
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: and so, And I'm sure Ian knows our producer, the

509
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: games that struck a chord with you. Why is it

510
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: see college football? I don't know what it is, but man,

511
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: it's got everything. Like it's got the if I want

512
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: to build myself, if I want to build my program,

513
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: it's even better that I think it's even better at Madden.

514
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: Well, and it was taken away.

515
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: Like one of the things that I always say in

516
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: music is the best thing that can happen to some

517
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: acts is you just go before you start putting out

518
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 3: bad records. And that there are certain artists that have

519
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: just like retired or you know, tragically passed away, and

520
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: because they didn't go through that period where they put

521
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: out like three straight records that disappointed their fan base,

522
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: they live in this different bubble like Madden has spent

523
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: years at this point disappointing the fan base. Every year.

524
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: People expect something massive and different, and it's never massive

525
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: different changes. It never really meets the expectation. So now

526
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: people spend more time complaining about Madden than actually praising it.

527
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 3: For college football, there was a period where I think

528
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: maybe the luster was running off that game a little bit,

529
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: but then it was taken away. And the minute it's

530
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: taken away, now all of a sudden, it's like, well

531
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: we still miss that. Now not only is it coming back,

532
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: but it's coming back with the traditions, with the stadiums,

533
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: with the licensing, with the players, with all of the

534
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: things that we always dreamed we could have when we

535
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: had it the first time. So it truly is back

536
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: and better than ever. And you think about what that

537
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: means to the fans. I don't think I've ever seen

538
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 3: a more anticipated sports video game ever in my life,

539
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: and that's in large part because it was taken away

540
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: from us. They didn't spend the last ten years repeating

541
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: the same formula and frustrating their fans, so they haven't

542
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: put out.

543
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 4: A bad video game.

544
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: That's now we're getting the the real, the version of

545
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: this game we always wanted. You combine all that together,

546
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: that's why this is a cultural phenomenon.

547
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: You know what, that's a that's brilliant, that's a brilliant.

548
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 2: It's a brilliant summation. You're right, because Madden for so

549
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: long it's feel stale. Right, It's like, well how many

550
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 2: It's impossible year to year, like the tech moves quickly,

551
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: but the changes aren't really that significant other than the roster, right,

552
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: And but the game itself, you know, a little tweak here,

553
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: and they're at little tiny features, but it doesn't fit.

554
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: It's it's around us, and it feels like, well, you're

555
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: going to shake me down for another game another year,

556
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 2: Whereas you're right, college football it's been it's been forever,

557
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: and the tech since last was here, has you know,

558
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: improved leaps and bounds.

559
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 7: Can I jump in really quick about that?

560
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

561
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: Please, yeah, just really quick. The I'm one of those

562
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 7: suckers who buys Madden every single year. But it's it's

563
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 7: the fact that you need to have the updated rosters,

564
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: and that's what kind of makes people keep coming back.

565
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 7: But it's the fact that with Madden every year, it

566
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 7: feels like it could have been just like an update

567
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 7: and you're forking over seventy dollars for it. But like

568
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 7: Fitz was saying, the fact that they're bringing back college

569
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 7: football games now that it's like a full it's a

570
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 7: whole new game that the last one we got was

571
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 7: ten years ago. So it's just like the most up

572
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 7: to date college game experience that just doesn't exist.

573
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: Well, I wonder ahead for Twoeaks too, So I've had buddies,

574
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: like I've got a couple of buddies that have an

575
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: even and played video games in years that are buying

576
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: a system just to get this game. So they are

577
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: gonna be things that they've never seen, like one of

578
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: the crowd elements where if you have lost momentum, your

579
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: controller's gonna shake and you're gonna feel it, and the

580
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: camera's gonna move around and all of these things that

581
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: you know have been integrated, but if you're a college

582
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: football fan, you haven't seen it. A small tweak in

583
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: a current Madden game is going to feel like an

584
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: epic change to a game that has been made in

585
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: ten years. So there is a bit of a bit

586
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: of an advantage to it. And look, you're right, Ian,

587
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm still an avid Madden player. I've gotten to the

588
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: point now where most of the time I buy it

589
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: every two years because you know, other than like as

590
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: a Raiders fan, this year Okay, So I guess if

591
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: I want to see Antonio Pierce on the sidelines and

592
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: I want to deal with trying to win with Aiden

593
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: or Gardener as my quarterback, then I go out and

594
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: buy it. You know, there's but unless you have a

595
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: big change to your roster, Like if you're a Bills fan,

596
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: are you really like, are you clamoring to buy Madden again?

597
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: Like your roster's basically the same. You just go trade

598
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs and you keep playing the game yourself. Like,

599
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: I don't know that unless you have big changes, you

600
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: need to get the new mat and every year even

601
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: if you want the new rosters. It's it's just such

602
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: a small difference. But the college football world is a

603
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: massive difference.

604
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 7: And there's they're adding so many little things in the

605
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 7: college football on it's just clear how much effort they're

606
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 7: putting into it. Like I'm seeing some like they're they're

607
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 7: they're even putting in those those like stickers, you know,

608
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 7: the spirit stickers that that players in college get when

609
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 7: they have.

610
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: A good game.

611
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 7: They're they're having in the game. It's like if you

612
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 7: start a franchise with USC, say, then your players gradually

613
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: over the course of the season. US is a bad example.

614
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 7: They don't have stickers, but Ohio State, Yeah, there you go.

615
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 7: They get more Buckeye stickers as the year goes on.

616
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 7: Yeah no, see, that's that's awesome. Those little things are great.

617
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 7: What they should do and and you're right, what they

618
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 7: should do is.

619
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: Have like a membership, right, and it gets you the

620
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: it gets you the updated rosters. And then every three years,

621
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: if you want to put a new game out where

622
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: the tech kind of catches up, then it kind of

623
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 2: feels it'll feel a little different. Yeah, that's the and

624
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: that's the like fits the points great like putting out

625
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 2: band records just kills you, like because you can't sustain greatness.

626
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: I would argue that, Look, people are very divided on

627
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 3: a band like the Eagles. I've never really understood why

628
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: there's so much hate for the Eagles. I get what

629
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: people may not love them, but you know, the whole

630
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: fact that they just broke up, and then when they

631
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: came back, instead of trying to convince the world to

632
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: listen to a bunch of new stuff, they came back

633
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: with you know, help freezes over a reunion record where

634
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: they played their hits and everybody's like, oh my god,

635
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: this is the best thing ever, and.

636
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: It, you know, catapulted them.

637
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: It's it's so funny that you think about sometimes for

638
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: even for great musicians that put out two or three

639
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: records in a row that you don't really like, Like

640
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: I've never hidden my love of bon Jovi, but they

641
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: put out several bad records in a row, and I'm like, okay,

642
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: and it does sort of jade the the conversation what's

643
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: your favorite band? And it's like, well, if we're only

644
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: taking these records into account, like that's just natural, I think.

645
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: And for video games, it's so hard, even like I'm

646
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: a big I play a lot of NHL, I play

647
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: a lot of FIFA. I enjoyed those games. You rarely

648
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: see a moment where you say, oh my god, guys,

649
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: we have to buy this one because this is all new,

650
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: and that's the eventage, Like, I don't know, this year's

651
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: college football game the most type we've ever seen. I

652
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 3: think the real question is gonna be next year. Are

653
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: people clamoring to buy next year's version of college football?

654
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: Or is this just a one year wonder of everybody

655
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: having to get it? And then we'll find out that

656
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: eventually it calms down, just like Madden.

657
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 7: And how much effort are they putting into next year's

658
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 7: game because this year is easy because it's a whole

659
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 7: new game that hasn't existed in ten years.

660
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: So but you said playing as us CE and I

661
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: that's that's a violation. All right, we're gonna we're gonna

662
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: set this out right away. You're playing is a good

663
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: team violation. Like I'm gonna go win a national championship

664
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: with UNLV. All right, When I win a national championship

665
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: with you win LV football, I expect some damn respect

666
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 3: around here. People are going to be like, oh my god,

667
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: you won two straight championships with UNLV, Like that is

668
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: playing the game. If you're taking one of the top

669
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: ten teams and winning a bunch of games with it soft.

670
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 7: And no comment.

671
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 2: Dude, dude, I dig get spot on. You know that,

674
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 7: But I think people just want to play as their school,

675
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 7: you know, Like, if you're a Michigan fan, you haven't

676
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 7: been able to play as Michigan as the Michigan Wolverines

677
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 7: in ten years.

678
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: I'll give you that you just can't talk you to

679
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 3: for Yeah, if you win a bunch of games, if

680
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: you're like, man, I've won three straight Natties. All right,

00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: you so you're winning the game on easy mode. There

683
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: is one mode they need to They need to create

684
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: a new mode on this game. And then you know, ea,

685
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: you should have called me in advance. I would I

686
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: would have helped you with this. You need to create

687
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: a mode that's called Welcome Back, and it's for everybody

688
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,600

Speaker 3: me the old controls on it. Make it super easy, because, like,

691
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 3: if we're being honest, I think there's a lot of

692
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: us that are football heads that are gonna have to

693
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: use the tutorial, Like I'm gonna have to actually play

694
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: in the beginning to practice mode just figure out how

695
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 3: to do some of the stuff in this game.

696
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, I listen as a sometimes y person, right,

697

Speaker 2: do the mad But like I'm not, I'm not as

701
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: there's a million things that I like, I just don't

702
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: have the time to process, right, the little nuances like

703
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: the NBA one the controllers, I get a little the NBA,

704
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: and I love the NBA the two K but like,

705
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: like I know, I'm mis out on a couple of functions.

706
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: Oh god, yah, a bunch of those those games are

707
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 3: wildly complicated.

708
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you, all right, Uh let's

709
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,200

Speaker 2: Fellas from the tire Rack dot Com studios. So I

713
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: want to die too. The college football for a second,

714
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: and the the llure of it, right, the allure of it,

715
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: the when I when I think of certain towns right,

716
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: like because it was funny, I had the conversation with

717
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 2: my nephew, yeah, yesterday or the other day, for it's

718
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: a lot because he's he's looking at schools and he's

719
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: looking at college and he's going to a senior in

720
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: high school and he's like, I want to go to

721
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: a big football school. He goes that's all I want

722
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: to do is go to a big football school with

723
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: a lot of tradition and where it's just great. So

724
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: it was kind of neat because right of this conversation

725
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: and he's like, so here's my list, and he gives

726
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: me the Clemson, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas. I'm trying to

727
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: think of what else was on there. There's a couple

728
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: other aces SEC schools, Georgia and then No, he didn't

729
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: want to go to Georgia, and then Ohio State, No, Michigan.

730
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: There was a couple like big programs that he did

731
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 2: not that he didn't and Oregon was on the list.

732
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: He's like, that's a little far because he lives in

733
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: New Jersey. But he's He's like, the Oregon is also

734
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: one of it. So I was thinking about this right,

735
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: and I'm going and if you are, if you were

736
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: this recruit, like if put yourself as the Magnie character,

737
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 2: as this incredible recruit and you get choice, think about

738
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: that for a second, which tradition, which which place would

739
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: would you know in order would would find you? Would

740
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: you find the most attractive.

741
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: Wow, that's so if I'm man if I'm wanting to

742
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 3: go somewhere as a as a play.

743
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: Let's break it down by conference, because that might be easy.

744
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: When I think of the great college football schools, I

745
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: think about the places where you know, it is just

746
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: such a part of life that you have to be there,

747
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: you have to experience it, and it feels like the

748
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: whole region just stops when you play games. Like Look,

749
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: I think Oregon, it's a great place to go to games.

750
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 3: I really enjoy Oregon, but I wouldn't put it in

751
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: the same category as Alabama or Ohio State. And you know, frankly,

752
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: I think what's interesting is that even if you look

753
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 3: at Alabama, you know, there were some conversations a few

754
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: years ago about declining ticket sales in the stadium when

755
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 3: they play Cupcakes, and you know.

756
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 4: That's just part of the way it goes. Blah blah

757
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 4: blah blah.

758
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that that is part of the way

759
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 3: it goes because I keep thinking about what it's like

760
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: to go to games. I've been to a bunch of

761
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: games at Ohio State, and there is a different vibe

762
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: to that whole city. I think certain places have a

763
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: really special vibe around game day. Certain regions have a

764
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 3: really special vibe. So I mean, if we're just talking

765
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: about sort of good or bad, you always know that

766
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 3: the ViBe's going to be there. Ohio State's pretty tough

767
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: to beat for me on that list you just gave me.

768
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: I think, well, let's go.

769
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: By conference, right, let's do We'll start a big time

770
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: because you are you got Ohio State, now Ohio State, Like,

771
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: I'm with you at big time, But I could argue

772
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: Penn State too, because Penn State's obviously on his list.

773
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: Penn State white out pretty good, buddy.

774
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 3: No, yeah, the whiteout is one of the coolest things

775
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: I've ever experienced. I think the interesting thing is white

776
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: outs are amazing midday games. Penn State are still really good.

777
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 3: What I like about Ohio State and Penn State is

778
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 3: I kind of like their rivalry split better. Like I think,

779
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: if you didn't grow up in Michigan, Michigan, Michigan State

780
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter to you, right like, and I'm not

781
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: sure Michigan State's going to be relevant anytime soon. So

782
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 3: I like the fact that it feels like the world's

783
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 3: gunning for schools like Ohio State and Penn State.

784
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 4: I would put Ohio State one.

785
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: Penn State two Michigan, Nebraska three, Michigan four.

786
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: If I'm just a I was going to break that

787
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: op to you because Nebraska it's another one. I mean,

788
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: that's when those people are so through. So we do.

789
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, seventy thousand people for they filled

790
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: the stadium for a volleyball game. So the place for

791
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: football is out of its mind.

792
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: The whole city shuts down on football Saturdays. And like

793
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: I remember when we were covering the game there and

794
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: the local gas station was closed and it was just

795
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: it was open for people to come in and eat

796
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: and drink for free. Like you just walk through the

797
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: whole city tailgates walking to that stadium. It's an unreal experience.

798
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like that sea of Red's seeing it.

799
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: It's wild, man, it really is. All right, So I'm

800
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna write this stuff down that we want to.

801

811
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: This is we're going to do in honor of college football,

812
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: the new video game coming out as excited. We want

813
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: to go through the conferences and it's kind of our

814
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 2: way to whittle it down to the recruit. You're gonna

815
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: be this great recruit and you're going to look at

816
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: which place is the best to go to from a

817
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: pure you know, college football pageantry standpoint. So we're starting

818
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 2: to big ten. So I'm want to have each of

819
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: us rank their three schools, all right, from one to three.

820
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: We have with us, Fitsie, we have Mighty Mark and

821
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: Ian our production team. Right, So Ian, you're going to

822
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: keep it charge right. So were a number one vote,

823
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 2: you get ten points. For a number two school, you

824
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 2: get five points. For number three school, you get three points.

825
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: All right. So that's how you're gonna tally it up.

826
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: So if I said to you, Fitzie, you said Ohio

827
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: State in the Big ten would be your number one school?

828
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

829
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? For pagetry yep.

830
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: So and again this is your you are the standout athlete.

831
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: It's Jason Fits. You know, not only was he a

832
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 2: music prodigy, but he was this incredible receiver five foot ten,

833
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 2: blazing speed and he could run pass to run through

834
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 2: a cover two. Jason Fits.

835
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: All right, But I'm only I'm only going on pageantry here.

836
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about winning. I'm not talking about coaches.

837
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: I'm not talking I'm like, we're just talking to coaches, right.

838
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: The coaches have to be irrelevant because of the revolving

839
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: door the coaches. Okay, so let's go on.

840
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: The game day experience and I'm walking in and.

841
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 2: That's part of it, right, And also you know, also

842
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 2: it should be like part of you know, what part

843
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: of the like what part of the you know, just

844
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: the culture of it all, right, Like pageantry is one thing,

845
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: but also culture is a piece of it. So you

846
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: rank it and how what you would see fit? Okay

847
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: for you you know, you look at the big set

848
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of great choices. Obviously Michigan, Wisconsin,

849
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: Camp Randall, It's got some great tradition. Great right, yeah,

850
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: great stuff that pageantry and I've covered big games there.

851
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: It's it's awesome.

852
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: I partied on that campus and let me tell you,

853
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 3: that is an experience right there.

854
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 4: Yes, some drunken days on that campus.

855
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, they know how to party in a big way.

856
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: So for this, for this purpose, I'm going to keep

857
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve alive. Okay, all right, Okay, So Canady

858
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna keep Texas where it is.

859
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: The Texas is not in the Big two, in the

860
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 2: Big ten, in the eight, in the SEC.

861
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: All right, I want to keep not putting We're putting.

862
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: We're keeping Texas. We're not putting Texas in the SEC, not.

863
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: Yet, only because it's it makes it so much, it

864
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: makes it much more difficult to kind of as sets it,

865
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

866
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 7: Same with Oklahoma.

867
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: Then yes, let's keep that for and let's keep them

868
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: in the Big twelve, keep the Big twelve intact, and

869
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve intact almost like it's going into last year.

870
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, all right, So let's go through. So

871
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 2: you say, Ohio State one.

872
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna stay Ohio State one. I'm I'm gonna

873
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna move it. I get three at this point,

874
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go Ohio State one for pageantry and experience.

875
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Nebraska to yeah, and then I'm gonna

876
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 3: I can't keep Michigan. Michigan is gonna they're gonna take

877
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 3: out Penn State. So I'm gonna take Michigan is three,

878
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk to Michigan is three. Penn State goes

879
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: to four. So yeah, that's it. I've thought about the

880
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: whole break. I think I've undervalued the big House. So

945
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: it's like also where you come from too, Like that

946
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: adds to it a little bit.

947
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, one hundred percent.

948
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: I'll give my I'll give some love to Happy Valley.

949
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 3: So can I give you my one? My one anti

950
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 3: Happy Valley? Is that? Like for anyone that's ever this

951
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: is such a first world complaint when you cover games

952
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 3: at Happy Valley, hotel rooms are impossible to find, so

953
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 3: like it's just it's impossible to get to. In fact,

954
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: when we went when I was with ESPN, they figured

955
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: out like at that point they were just like, hey,

956
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 3: we were flying to everything. We came day and they're like,

957
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: you know what, just drive. It's easier to drive. And

958
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 3: our hotel room was a solid hour and a half

959
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: out of the stadium. Because they don't decide where you're

960
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 3: going for game day until you know, a lot of

961
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 3: times Sunday and then you're talking about days away from

962
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: a huge rivery game. There was a hotel to be

963
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 3: found anywhere. If I was a recruit, I'd be concerned

964
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 3: about whether or not my family could get in and

965
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: get in easily. There's not a close airport, right, there's

966
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 3: not good hotels. These a first world complaints. But I'm

967
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 3: just you know, giving my money.

968
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, like that's all valid.

969
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 7: Man, family is a big factor.

970
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 2: That's a that is valid. And you're right about that.

971
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: I mean, they're the the airport. Now, you're such a

972
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 2: stud that you know you're you're you're gonna be flying private.

973
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's it. That's what if I got, if

974
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: I got the boosters flying me private.

975
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: That is, you know, you're flying in a G five

976
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 2: like you're you're good or G six. Actually you're good,

977
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 2: all right, So you're you're you'll be you'll be fine.

978
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 2: But no, that is that is that is certainly a problem.

979
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: There are some issues, and it's true. And then you're

980
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: right about the hotels. All right, So you have the

981
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: Big ten? Do you have the consensus for the Big ten?

982
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 3: Has shaven it little points?

983
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 7: Shay has not been able to do the math quickly.

984
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 7: Shay's not here.

985
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 3: Yet I talked to Shay yesterday. This is what happens. Ian.

986
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 3: You know, I guess it's my fault. I blame drugs.

987
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 3: You go ahead. So has Ian done the math?

988
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 7: Ian has done the math. The consensus that Michigan is

989
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 7: the top, Nebraska is second, and Iowa is third.

990
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh, that's an upset for the ages. Upset for the ages.

991
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 3: My number one didn't even make the final list. Glory

992
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 3: be God?

993
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: What Io Ohio state? The Ohio state is not on

994
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: the list.

995
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: Who oh Man controversy has already his spicy barely an

996
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: hour two?

997
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: Is that possible? A week? Iowa got how many points?

998
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 7: Look it was Iowa got ten points. Ohio State, Yeah,

999
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 7: got ten as well, but was only on fits his list.

1000
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 7: So I counted Nebraska as getting the edge.

1001
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: Wow or Iowa the t the tiebreaker? The tiebreaker went

1002
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 3: because more people voted for Iowa. Wow. Wow. You know

1003
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 3: what telling you?

1004
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 7: I guess we we didn't really come to a you.

1005
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: Know, democracy failed a general rule there.

1006
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 7: If we want to give the lean to to Ohio state,

1007
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 7: I guess we could do that because it get a

1008
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 7: first place vote.

1009
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 2: I like how you did it.

1010
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 3: Your consensus was the right way to do it more

1011
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 3: people went for it. It's just it's you know, now

1012
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 3: what we know what we need. We need an electoral

1013
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 3: college coming in. So you so what was your popular vote?

1014
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: What was you? Was your three in order?

1015
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 7: Michigan was first, Nebraska was second, and Iowa was third.

1016
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well what a second? And what was and what

1017
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: was and what was marx mark.

1018
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 7: Marks three were Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan.

1019
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 2: So I would get to total of eight points.

1020
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 7: Iowa was my second as well, so they got ten,

1021

1058
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 3: We can't recount the whole thing. It's just going to

1059
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 3: be the way it's going to be.

1060
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,200

Speaker 2: our state. We understand, But listen, this is why you

1063
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: play the games.

1064
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 3: This is really what I've learned through this exercise of

1065
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 3: only one conferences. I feel for whoever's going to be

1066
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 3: monitoring the Fox Sports radio Twitter handle, because we're gonna

1067
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 3: get killed for leaving Ohio State off. And I love it.

1068
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 2: I mean, it's funny because Nebraska adds something to it,

1069
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: don't you know what I mean.

1070
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 3: Look, I don't think I've ever experienced a more surprising

1071
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 3: college football environment than Nebraska. I didn't know what to expect,

1072
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, and I remember walking out of our

1073
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 3: hotel and then just seeing everybody flock to the stadium

1074
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 3: and thinking like what is this? Because it truly was

1075
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,240
Speaker 3: a whole city where all the businesses were not doing business.

1076
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 3: They were just open as a community tailgate to get

1077
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 3: everybody into the stadium. I've never seen anything like it.

1078
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 3: And look, it was a game where Nebraska got absolutely crushed.

1079
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 3: They got killed in the game, and it still didn't matter,

1080
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 3: and the fourth quarter of that crowd was still going.

1081
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 3: It was just it was different, man, it was. It

1082
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 3: was a wildly different vibe. So I'm with you. I

1083
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 3: want to I really want Now. Obviously I'm selfish because

1084
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 3: of rule, but I want them to turn around. I

1085
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 3: think they're good for college football.

1086
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 2: I think it's good for college football when they're good

1087
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 2: and competitive.

1088
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree in an nil world. I hope

1089
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 3: their collective gets it together because I don't. I don't

1090
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 3: know how you can, as a kid go to that

1091
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 3: environment and not think, yeah, this is actually pretty damn cool.

1092
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 2: Right, Oh my god, it's just got everything about it

1093
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: there really is, all right, So let's move on to

1094
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: the packed twelve. So there's something interesting, all right. So

1095
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 2: now the pack twelve, FITZI, you're gonna take your skills

1096
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 2: out the West and when the Pac twelve still exists.

1097
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 3: Right right? Uh? I mean that's so Oregon is number

1098
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 3: number one on this one, right, Like we we could

1099
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 3: all agree with that, like I think, I okay, okay, okay, no,

1100
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 3: like we've got.

1101
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: Kind not by not by a log shot?

1102
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 4: Wow, okay.

1103
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 3: Uh. If I'm I would say Oregon is one for me,

1104
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Washington.

1105
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 4: No, Utah is too. Washington is three.

1106
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 3: That's how wo Oregon Utah, Washington, that'd be my thought.

1107
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 2: Oregon Utah. I mean again, I said at C and

1108
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: u C. L A are still with the PAC twelve.

1109
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think both of those environments are

1110
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 3: highly overrated. Like usc is is us is my number

1111
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 3: one by a far really Like yeah, Trojan bro, the

1112
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 3: city of l A is not clamoring for us C.

1113
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 3: Like there's not the same. Like you walk up and

1114
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 3: down the streets in Oregon and you are a rock

1115
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: god if you play on that football team. Utah is

1116
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: electric like that those games. The stadium rumbles, the coliseum

1117
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 3: is fine.

1118
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.

1119
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 2: Listen. I agree with you that you're you know, you're

1120
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 2: talking about small ponds. So yeah, you know you're you're

1121
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: walking around flexing. But to be a Trojan.

1122
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 3: Dude, like the first the first time you walk into

1123
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 3: the Oregon training facilities that are all paid for by Nike,

1124
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, this like this is just

1128
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: I can't imagine agree the kid going to that. Oh yeah,

1129
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm strong on Oregon is number one, and I am

1130
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,959
Speaker 3: very contulled by Mikey.

1131
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: I get it. Like Mike, you brought you, I understand. Listen,

1132
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: it's sexy, man, it's the uties, the whole thing, like

1133
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, the O Like, there's someth cool about the

1134
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 2: Oregon's got a high cool factor. He went out of

1135
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 2: with out of doubt, without of doubt. But come on, Trojans,

1136
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: where the tropan usc yon Southern yawn so us.

1137
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 7: That's a black blood program fits. It's a blue blood

1138
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 7: program and all the legends that have played for it

1139
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 7: to be counted hollowd.

1140
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 3: But we're talking about the pageantry what what like in

1141
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 3: l A, Who's stop right.

1142
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: You've you've covered I'm sure you've covered many usc games.

1143
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 3: There's all kinds of pageantry. It's the ViBe's fine, Like

1144
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 3: the Rosebull is amazing. The vibe around the usc is

1145
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 3: is fine.

1146
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 7: L A is here huge too. That's something else you

1147
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 7: need to consider. It's like, yeah, you don't see the

1148
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 7: entire city flocking like you do in Nebraska. But but

1149
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 7: you're not going to see.

1150
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Quarter back in the court, Like, if you're a quarterback, right,

1151
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 2: and yeah, listen if my Masmo turned out to be

1152
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: a quarterback, I mean quarterback in USC, You're you're a

1153
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,520

01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,400

1156
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:34,400

01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1158
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Come look, we're talking about Matt was a god. Yeah,

1159
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 3: we're talking about walking around on the beach. We're not

1160
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 3: talking about like the same vibe as what we're talking

1161
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 3: about for these college football towns. L A is just

1162
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 3: not a great college football town. I stand by that.

1163
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: It's the only major city where college football is still

1164
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: the number is greater than the NFL.

1165
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's not saying much considering the rams

1166
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 3: in the charts look compared to the atmosphere, Like USC

1167
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 3: doesn't even belong in the same conversation atmosphere wise as

1168
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 3: Ohio State or Nebraska or Michigan or Oregon.

1169
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 2: You just your flush it.

1170
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 4: I don't flush the drug. I don't care.

1171
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't care about as a kid, I care about

1172
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 3: I care about the experience right now, I don't care.

1173
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't care about who played there in the sixties.

1174
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: Who cares?

1175
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,959
Speaker 2: All right, all right, well we'll come back. We're knee

1176
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 2: deep in the fact twelve what used to be the Fellas,

1177
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 2: hang it out right here Fox Sports Radio. So what mean,

1179
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 2: always USC prime time total pageantry.

1180
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 4: Hmm hmmm.

1181
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 3: We buy that.

1182
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 4: Like you're telling me that you think you think you're

1183
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 4: you're telling.

1184
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 3: Me you think that the atmosphere around USC football on

1185
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 3: a Saturday, in the stadium, before the stadium, after the game, I.

1186
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: Mean in the stadium. Yes, I'm the stadium is awesome.

1187
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 3: I have not. For me, I have not felt that

1188
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 3: energy in that stadium compared to what we see at Oregon. Like,

1189
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Oregon to me is a much more It's a louder,

1190
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 3: more energetic, more oh my god stadium to.

1191
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Me, Okay, I'm not going to dispute that. I mean,

1192
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 2: I do think Oregon in stadium. I'll give you some octaves.

1193
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 2: But as far as like you know, pageantry and history

1194
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 2: and what the trojan means.

1195
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: See this is I do like when we talk about

1196
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: what the trojan means I don't really care about who

1197
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 3: played twenty years ago for the program.

1198
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 2: I a part of the tradition of what it means

1199
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 2: to put on that helmet. I mean, first of all,

1200
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 2: go into a school. If you're a great player, you're

1201
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 2: a great recruit, you want to put the helmet on

1202
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 2: the same helmet as the legends of the past.

1203
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 3: Do you do you think the modern Do you think

1204
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 3: the modern recruit? Right now? That's it's you know.

1205
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I'm not seven feve

1206
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: years old, so I can't I can't answer that answer

1207
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: that question.

1208
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean in this, in this exercise, I'm

1209
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 3: thinking they're like I walk into you.

1210
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm thinking to you, you're you as you as Jason Fits.

1211
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 10: You know, you just happen to be this, you know,

1212
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 10: ridiculous four one five speed on the outside.

1213
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're specifically a receiver to usc IS. It's one

1214
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 7: of the schools considered wide receiver.

1215
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 3: You. This is no doubt, no doubt. But we were

1216
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 3: told not to factor in the coaches, so I'm not

1217
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about where I'm gonna go to have

1218
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 3: success in the league. I'm talking just about the pageantry

1219
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 3: of game day experiences.

1220
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 2: And like, but come on, part of that is with

1221
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 2: the with the logo means yeah, I absolutely you were

1222
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 2: to tell me to look that that trojan doesn't mean anything.

1223
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 2: That color does it mean anything.

1224
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 3: On my list? It like for me personally, that would

1225
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,479
Speaker 3: be like sixth or seventh on the list.

1226
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 2: Listen, that's fine, that's fair. You know, again, this is

1227
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 2: all a very personal exercise. I mean, you know, when

1228
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm in Rolf is watching college football, don't you love

1229
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: the football? He's watching USC, notre Day, you know, come on, bro,

1230
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's means something I'm in Rolf is all

1231
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 2: about saw the Califoard. Yeah.

1232
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 3: I feel like if I'm watching, like the matchups and

1233
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 3: the rivalries, right, us see the brand far better than

1234
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 3: the other brands, and we care more about it. But

1235
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 3: if I'm sitting down and it's a PAC twelve after

1236
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 3: dark game and I got the choice of watching Oregon

1237
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 3: at USC or USC at Oregon, I'd rather go USC

1238
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 3: at Oregon. I think that that.

1239
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're also USC at Washington greater than Washington

1240
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 2: at US at Oregon.

1241
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 3: USC at Washington, Yeah, at USC USC. I mean we're

1242
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 3: not talking about which brands we prefer the best, Like

1243
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 3: I get the USC program. I mean, but I'm talking

1244
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 3: about I mean, if if brands are a part of it,

1245
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 3: then how can I rightfully in the last conference.

1246
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 2: It's all about how you. It's all about how you,

1247
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: how you put the blender.

1248
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we.

1249
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,280

1250
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 3: Ohio State.

1251
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: I'd be listening. Mighty Mark's taking Illinois. I don't know

1252
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 2: what's his preference. I mean, he's taking Illinois.

1253
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 3: US sees a USC is a fine college football environment.

1254
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 3: It's really nice. It is not elite to me.

1255
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: All right, Well, listen, you have spoken. You go once

Speaker 2: All right, Uh, mighty Mark, give me your three, baby.

1266
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 8: So I looked at the list because I don't know

1267
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 8: folks in conferences. So I'm gonna go USC, Stanford and

1268
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 8: then Washington.

1269
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. Stanford. Huh, Stanford is interesting. Uh.

1270
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 8: Well, the few times that I went to a U

1271
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 8: SEE game and I saw the colors of the and

1272
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:15,040

1274
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 2: it's a good tree. All right, all right, there you go.

1275
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 2: Stanford is two. And who's your third? Washington? Yes you dubbed?

1276
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, that's good stuff, all right? And who you got?

1277
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 7: I got USC first. It's my my alma mater. Have

1278
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 7: to go with it, so bias, I guess. But uh

1279
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 7: then Oregon two and Washington three.

1280
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: That's fair.

1281
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, Seattle's a great city. I think Washington has to

1282
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 7: be on there.

1283
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: I agree. I went to uh USC one, Washington two

1284
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: in honor of a big Lincoln Kennedy right tackle, and

1285
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 2: number three. I gotta give some love to the powder

1286
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 2: blue and U C l A.

1287
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 3: And I purposely a seven people in that stadium when

1288
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:12,479
Speaker 3: they play.

1289
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: There's purposely. I purposely didn't put the Oregon there just fit.

1290
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 3: Just to cost me points. He cost me points in

1291
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 3: the final, like all you know.

1292
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 2: What, Actually I would have remembered CLA. You're right, it's

1293
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 2: a shame. It's dried up. It was. It was a

1294
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 2: historical program. But instead I will go with Oregon State.

1295
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 4: Okay, four balls.

1296
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,719
Speaker 3: The great thing about UCLA is I can proudly, loudly

1297
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 3: say on air, hey, guess what u c LA fans,

1298
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 3: your football team stinks in your environment, stinks. And I

1299
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 3: can say that and not have to worry about looking

1300
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 3: at Twitter for the rest of the day because there's

1301
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 3: only like two fans and they aren't gonna blow me up. Yes, yes,

1302
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 3: both u c LA fans are really angry at me

1303
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 3: right now. U CLA football used to matter. It's a joke.

1304
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 3: Now I'm done on ucl That's all I have to

1305
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 3: say about UCLA.

1306
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 2: It is a shame though, for what it was. Now

1307
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 2: if we're talking basketball, you.

1308
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 4: Know, much different story, right.

1309
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 2: You know, it is amazing the two LA schools have

1310
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 2: one owns football, the other owns basketball.

1311
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know.

1312
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: You know, I will say this underrated. Both Corvalis and

1313
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Pullman both underrated.

1314
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 3: You know. And you mentioned college basketball. I think it's

1315
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 3: kind of shocking we haven't heard anything about the possibility

1316
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,759
Speaker 3: of a college basketball video game like that just shows

1317
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 3: you where the state of college basketball is. They put

1318
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 3: all these resources into a college football game because the

1319
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 3: lawsuits have been settled and they can now do college games.

1320
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 3: Have we heard anything about the release of a college

1321
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 3: basketball video game? It just feels like the level of

1322
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 3: interest in that sport is just such a hard thing

1323
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 3: to wrap your mind around. Because it is.

1324
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 2: But I gotta believe the nil stuff and where it's going.

1325
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: I gotta believe that that's going to do well. I

1326
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: think college basketball will have a renaissance.

1327
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 3: I hope so, and that basically not not being.

1328
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's g Leak's for bogus, right, like stop what

1329
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 2: the G league? You know, I'm with you. I think

1330
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 2: it had some sort of renaissance because I think now

1331
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 2: with kids being paid, they're gonna want to say they're

1332
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: gonna stay a little bit. I think you'll see that

1333
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 2: at least I'm hoping that has that kind of impact.

1334
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:51,520
Speaker 2: I agree. All right, let's go to the Big twelve.

1335
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 2: How about we go? Well, first of all, who won

1336
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,959
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve? Did you do the Matthean?

1337
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, so USC came out on top, Washington was second,

1338
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 7: and Oregon was third.

1339
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 2: There do you go, how do you feel Fitz's getting slighted? Well,

1340
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 2: they didn't make the cut and Oregon comes in third.

1341
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 3: This is this is a travesty. What's happening right now.

1342
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 4: It's a travesty.

1343
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 3: Right now. I do not support what is happening right now.

1344
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 3: This is this is an absolute travesty. I I want

1345
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 3: to speak to the manager. I am going to find

1346
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 3: a Karen and I'm going to complain. I'm leaving a

1347
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 3: Yelp review like this is not this is not going well, Yelp.

1348
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,480
Speaker 7: What's more infuriating the fact that Oregon's third or USC's first.

1349
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 4: Uh, the USC's first.

1350
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 3: That an atmosphere that wouldn't even make the list for

1351
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 3: most conferences was first because of you, Homer's.

1352
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 7: You're putting a lot of sock in the atmosphere? Is

1353
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 7: that like the whole thing to you?

1354
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean no, to me. When we talk about pageantry,

1355
01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 4: this is what I think of.

1356
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 3: I think about day, and I think about what it's

1357
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 3: like when you go to some of these places and

1358
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 3: you tailgate the day before and you see some of

1359
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 3: these campuses, Like I'll never forget what it was like

1360
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 3: to be on LSU's campus the night before game day.

1361
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 3: Was there and there were people already camped out outside

1362
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 3: because they wanted to see the game day experience, and

1363
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,799
Speaker 3: they were there at five in the afternoon on Friday

1364
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 3: because college football is life and they don't care about school.

1365
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 3: They care about college football, right, And I think about

1366
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 3: getting up at three in the morning and walking through

1367
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 3: that whole crowd and just seeing what that environment and

1368
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 3: atmosphere is like spending the day hanging out with people

1369
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 3: before the game, and then you walk into the stadium

1370
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 3: and you can feel the thump and you can feel

1371
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 3: the role, and you can feel all of the energy

1372
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 3: in the crowd, and then you watch this amazing game

1373
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 3: where everybody's just going nuts, and after the game they

1374
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 3: pour out into the streets and the party continues because

1375
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 3: all that mattered in that day was that LSU was

1376
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 3: taking on any football team. And that's what I think pageantry.

1377
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 3: I think about passion that runs for forty eight hours

1378
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 3: around a game, where you know, all week it's been

1379
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,799
Speaker 3: people making signs and people getting ready and people wanting

1380
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 3: that electric moment. And while I think at Huntingdon Beach

1381
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 3: is beautiful, I don't think of la A as as

1382
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 3: that sort of a college football town. Like people aren't

1383
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 3: quitting whatever they have to do Thursday so they can

1384
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 3: line up and stand somewhere just so that they can

1385
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 3: be part of a college football atmosphere around big noon

1386
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 3: on a Saturday afternoon, because they want to be there

1387
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 3: for college football.

1388
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 4: Like, that's what I think of for pageantry.

1389
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 7: Why you got to be so good with words?

1390
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 2: That's equinn. I'm like, I gotta tell you, I'm sitting

1391
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 2: there riveted listening to you.

1392
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 4: Oh Man, well thank you. That's that's tough cop, you know, I.

1393
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 2: Mean, I gotta. I mean, it's just absolutely beautiful, beautiful.

1394
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with I love what you said.

1395
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 2: I just have to add I I put the logo,

1396
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: like the logo means something, the tradition means something. Who

1397
01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 2: wore the helmet matters to me? It just does, you know,

1398
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 2: not like if I if I get if I say,

1399
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, I can rattle off

1400
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 2: ten great USC players in Oregon. It's just a little

1401
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 2: tougher because of you know, it's comparison, and I think

1402
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: that means something.

1403
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 3: And that's honestly, that's really fair.

1404
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 2: Cauz.

1405
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 3: And like because I don't as a person, I don't

1406
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 3: necessarily stop so much and say, okay, what does this

1407
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 3: mean historically? Right? Like I think to your point, it's

1408
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 3: a really powerful thing for you, and I think it

1409
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 3: speaks to who you are. And one of the beautiful

1410
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 3: things I love about you know how much you value

1411
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, family and history and roots and all of

1412
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 3: those things. As somebody that didn't grow up with a

1413
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 3: lot of that, I don't think I value his.

1414
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 2: It's a great point, like and think about it. It's

1415
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: it goes just to show you, right, like you spent

1416
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: formal years, if informative years in Vegas and in Nashville,

1417
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 2: and like take hockey right like I would. If I

1418
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,480
Speaker 2: think hockey, I think of Montreal or Toronto or Chicago

1419
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 2: or New York. Right, you're gonna go. I got you know,

1420
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 2: Vegas and I got Nashville, and you're both great for

1421
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 2: different reasons. So it it stands the reason it's a

1422
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 2: good conversation. I'm loving this stuff and it gives us

01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally right. You know listen. I mean, it's

1441
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: great all Star game and you know baseball MLB, but

1442
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: let's like, you're right on, man, it's football. It's it's

1443
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 2: about that time. It's about the time we have that

1444
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 2: deep longing for it. So it's uh so we're diving

1445
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 2: into it, all right, We're gonna dive into how about

1446
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 2: some Big twelve. Now, this is Big twelve last year,

1447
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 2: all right, not this year. It's the Big twelve Oklahoma Texas.

1448
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 2: All right. You can well imagine you can look at

1449
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:01,799
Speaker 2: nothing like Chexas football Fizie, You're being You're the hot recruit.

1450
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 2: They're knocking on your door, checking you text messages, blowing

1451
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 2: off your Instagraham where you had ite.

1452
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, this is the first said this for me.

1453
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 3: It's a real flip of the coin. I spent the

1454
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 3: whole break trying to decide whether it was Texas or

1455
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 3: Oklahoma as the top environment experience. I'll go with Texas,

1456
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 3: but it literally was a flip of the coin for me.

1457
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,759
Speaker 3: So Texas is one, Oklahoma is two. It gets really

1458
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 3: tough to pick three at this point because you could

1459
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 3: make a case for Oklahoma State, but I just gotta

1460
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 3: go West Virginia. There's something I'll admit a little bias here.

1461
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 3: We've been trying to admit our biases for this whole process.

1462
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 3: One of the coolest tours I was ever on was

1463
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 3: Brad Paisley's tour when we were with the Vamperio and

1464
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 3: we were on with Brad, and Brad's the biggest West

1465
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Virginia fan you'll ever meet in your life. So maybe

1466
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 3: I saw too much of it at that point, but man,

1467
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 3: you just really you feel how much it means in

1468
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 3: that community. How much it means those game days mean

1469
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 3: on those Saturdays. It's tight for me. This is I

1470
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 3: don't think that any of these would necessarily be as

1471
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 3: highly ranked, including Texas in some of the other lists

1472
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 3: that we've had. But I go Texas one, Oklahoma two,

1473
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 3: West Virginia three.

1474
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:29,520
Speaker 2: That's great stuff. Listen, Morgantown when they're good, it's awesome,

1475
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 2: right like when West Virginia like they don't want a

1476
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Thursday night. Oh my god, you know those West Virginia

1477
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 2: Morgantown has got a lot of that's good football right there.

1478
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: It's good football, it's good pageantry, it's exciting. I listen.

1479
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 2: I agree. They would be my three, not in that order,

1480
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 2: but they would be in my three. All right, let's

1481
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: go to Mighty Mark, Mighty Mark, Big twelve. Where you're going,

1482
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.

01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 8: Oklahoma, Kansas and in Baylor, Oh.

1484
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 3: Shout out to Buddy Lance light Poles. I've I almost

01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 2: big football school. He is a He's heading into his

Speaker 2: senior year in high school and he's like, uncle, Aam,

1526
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 2: I just want to go to a big college football

1527
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 2: school and I want to go vibe in the in

1528
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 2: the whole thing. So we had all these schools and

1529
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 2: so all of that. I'm making all of our crew here,

1530
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:08,759
Speaker 2: the Great Jason Fits, the Mighty mock are head of production,

1531
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 2: and our producer, the Fine Ian. I'm making them all

1532
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: like top recruits. So we're all recruits. We all get

1533
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 2: recruited we can choose where we want to go. And

1534
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 2: we're looking at obviously the pageantry, the gained an experience,

1535
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 2: what the logo means, right like, it's all that is

1536
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 2: going to go into our choice. Now. It's not about coaches,

1537
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 2: because coaches come and go. It's just about what the

1538
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 2: vibes like, what the scene is like, what the history

1539
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 2: is like. It's why we love college football. It's well,

1540
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 2: we can't wait for this game to come out, right,

1541
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 2: There's something unique about how we celebrate football in each

1542
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 2: nook and cranny of this country. In so many ways,

1543
01:22:55,880 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 2: football is the culture, right like the culture comes true

1544
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 2: through football. Football is the conduit. Right. When I say culture,

1545
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 2: I mean food, celebration, dress, damn party and uh like

1546
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 2: all all the all the traditions, that's all the culture

1547
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 2: and our culture. And FITZI you you've had the uh

1548
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 2: what a great experience being part of game day, to

1549
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 2: experience the different the culture and all these vast parts

1550
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 2: of the country.

1551
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons I think you're even even

1552
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 3: aside from being a top recruit. Your nephew's concept. If

1553
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 3: I want to go somewhere that has a great football

1554
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 3: sort of school mindset, I think the reason some people

1555
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 3: feel that way is that it sticks with you forever.

1556
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 3: You know, I've got friends who went to Michigan I've

1557
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 3: got friends who went to Michigan State. If you think

1558
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 3: about what their life means on Saturday, like there is

1559
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 3: an element of bond that you have forever. In random cities,

1560
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,719
Speaker 3: if you walk around with somebody that went to Michigan

1561
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 3: State and they see a tea shirt, they scream go green.

1562
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 3: No matter how old they are, no matter where they

1563
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 3: are in the world, they scream go green. And somebody

1564
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,799
Speaker 3: screams go white. You know, like there are these moments

1565
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:13,680
Speaker 3: of there's a bond that happens through college football and

1566
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 3: college basketball that really creates this lifelong I didn't just

1567
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 3: go to this school.

1568
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 4: I became part of something and it.

1569
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 3: Really hits And when you go to some of these

1570
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 3: environments on Saturdays, you feel that. Look, none of us

1571
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 3: believe right now that Nebraska is a top college football

1572
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 3: program on the field, right They've got work to do

1573
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 3: to get to where they want to be. That doesn't

1574
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 3: mean that it's not still a bonding, lifelong experience just

1575
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 3: being part of a game at Nebraska, and that's what

1576
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 3: you really feel when you go to these games in person.

1577
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 3: That's part of why I think the magic at college

1578
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 3: football on Saturdays is just looking at how passionate the

1579
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 3: kids are. Because those passionate students become passionate adults become

1580
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 3: passionate and alumni and it sticks with generations just from

1581
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 3: attending these games. It truly is special. The SEC coined it,

1582
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 3: and people roll their eyes at it. But there are

1583
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 3: certain programs where it just means more.

1584
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:12,839
Speaker 2: Yes, it just means more. There is you're so spot

1585
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 2: on a bit. I think it's cleaving to something that

1586
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 2: if you want to be a party to go to

1587
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 2: that school, you now become a part of that. Right.

1588
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: It's funny he said, I'll go, Ah, I don't know

1589
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 2: who to root for this year. He's like, this'll be

1590
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 2: my last year. He said to not have a team

1591
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 2: because once I go to pick my school, that'll be

1592
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 2: my team. I thought that was pretty awesome that he

1593
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 2: said that. I went, dude, I'm proud of you, Like

1594
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 2: I get that, Like I you know, I don't have

1595
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 2: a college team and I went to Temple right, and

1596
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 2: you know it's why I'm I'm a half a Nebraska

1597
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 2: fan because of Matt Ruhle, he resuscitated temple for a

1598
01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 2: brief period of time, and then you know, I I

1599
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 2: was a awesome experience. You know what that's like, FITZI.

1600
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, And look, the part of the reason I

1601
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 3: love covering college football is I also don't have a

1602
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 3: favorite team. I don't care who wins and loses. I

1603
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 3: just love watching the game. And there's just something beautiful

1604
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 3: about seeing the relationship that college football has with their fans.

1605
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 3: And look, I'll never forget the first time, my first

1606
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 3: Saturday in Nashville, and growing up on the West coast

1607
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 3: in Vegas, college football wasn't a big deal. And even

1608
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 3: when I moved around as a kid to the East

1609
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 3: coast college I didn't live anywhere where college football was

1610
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 3: truly a big deal. I moved to Nashville, I walked

1611
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 3: into a bar on a Saturday, and I just moved here.

1612
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 3: And I was like, all right, let's see what everybody's

1613
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 3: freaking out about. And I wore a red shirt, not

1614
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 3: realizing that it was you know whatever, or Saturday in

1615
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 3: October and I was walking in to an Alabama I

1616
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 3: was one foot in the door. It's the peak peak

1617
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning Area Era. I was one foot in the

1618
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 3: door and I had a beer thrown in my face

1619
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 3: by a complete random stranger that then just started mother

1620
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 3: f and me the whole way through because they thought

1621
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 3: I was a Bama fan walking into a Tennessee bar

1622
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 3: and I was like, Okay, this is different than I expected.

1623
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 4: And dude, you really feel this place is made you

1624
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 4: feel it.

1625
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:14,560
Speaker 3: It just it means everything to certain places, and inly

1626
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,839
Speaker 3: like the cities that didn't grow up with professional sports.

1627
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 3: Like you know, if you grew up in Bama, you

1628
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 3: didn't have a pro team as a kid. Grew up

1629
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 3: in Nashville, you didn't have a pro team as you

1630
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 3: get and Vandy was never good. So everybody hears, like

1631
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 3: the reason the balls are so important in Nashville is

1632
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 3: because you have so many people that you know, my

1633
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,640
Speaker 3: grandfather was a balls fan and my great grandfather is

1634
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 3: a balls fan. It's just it's passed down from generation

1635
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 3: to generation and it really hits like that's part of

1636
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 3: the allure of this video game is that you were

1637
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 3: gonna have father son combos everywhere playing it because they

1638
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,520
Speaker 3: watched these games together on Saturdays.

1639
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 2: Dude, you're so so spotty, and it was funny. You

1640
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 2: and I were kidred spirits in many ways. So my

1641
01:27:56,320 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 2: love of college football fostered similarly in Knoxville. Right in

1642
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 2: Tennessee was I was one assignment for the New York Posts,

1643
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 2: and I spent I had an idea. I was like,

1644
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 2: I want to go to class with Peyton Manning. So

1645
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 2: they're like, ohay, go down and see if you can

1646
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 2: do what you can do. So I go to Knoxville

1647
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 2: cent it all up and I get to go to

1648
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 2: class with Peyton, who was to this day one of

1649
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:32,640
Speaker 2: my favorite people, like an incredible dude, Like he was

1650
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 2: so such like when he was in college. And this

1651
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 2: d was the ultimate you know bmoc right like he

1652
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 2: was in and just down the earth and affable. And

1653
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 2: I spent like, I don't know, almost two weeks time

1654
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,759
Speaker 2: there going to class and then going to the game

1655
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 2: and you know, just taking in the vibe and writing

1656
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 2: all about it. And I fell in love with Colle's

1657
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 2: man Like I just I loved it, man, I just

1658
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 2: like I couldn't wait. I got to go shit with

1659
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 2: Bobby Balladen. I got to go all throughout the Notre Dame.

1660
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Bob Davey was a code's like all these things like

1661
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 2: that you did with the ESPN I got to do

1662
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 2: when I was in New York, And like, you know,

1663
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 2: there's something about these about these towns that it just

1664
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: matters more. And it's like the congregation of it of

1665
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 2: these people is awesome, like the Gator Pit and then

1666
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 2: Baton Rouge and all these mythical places. Right, Like you

1667
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 2: could name all the college towns right, like if I go,

1668
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 2: we were just talking about it, right, Oregon State is Corvalis, right,

1669
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 2: Like would anybody know of Corvallis fitsy if not for

1670
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:47,679
Speaker 2: Oregon State?

1671
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 3: Oh god no, no, got no, Like you're right that

1672
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 3: it's it's just certain towns. It's such a takeover, you know,

1673
01:29:55,800 --> 01:30:00,280
Speaker 3: and and it becomes such a launching pad for or

1674
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 3: how people perceive an entire area, an entire region, right

1675
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 3: Like when when football is great in a certain area,

1676
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 3: it just gets more attention. And that's that's real because

1677
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 3: Saturday is so much of the conversation is around it,

1678
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 3: and then areas get to shine, whether it's the atmosphere

1679
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 3: or the food.

1680
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 4: Like there's so many stories to.

1681
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 3: Tell about college football that it truly lets regions shine

1682
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,760
Speaker 3: in cities shine that otherwise wouldn't.

1683
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 4: Even be on the map.

1684
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 3: Like, how many people in the world really even understand

1685
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 3: where Knoxville, Tennessee is. People oftentimes are surprised to find

1686
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 3: out it's as far from Nashville as it is, because

1687
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 3: you know, you think they're assistance. Yeah, it's like it

1688
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 3: takes a good solid three and a half hours to

1689
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 3: drive the shadows.

1690
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 2: Of the Smoky Mountains.

1691
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,600
Speaker 3: It's but how many people would even know what Knoxville

1692
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,679
Speaker 3: is if it wasn't for you know, frankly Tennessee football.

1693
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's great. Like we're talking

1694
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 2: at Big twelve and you know, I mean Austincky. How

1695
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 2: about like like Norman, Oklahoma. I mean, what a what

1696
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 2: an incredible place to watch football? Boomer Sooner, Like, it's

1697
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 2: it's incredible, man, it really is. I got my buddy

1698
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 2: on Twitter, uh Curtis Oklahoma seven national championships in football

1699
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 2: and uh, you know it's funny like he's fired up

1700
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 2: over to the SCC and the whole thing. It's such

1701
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 2: a great moverm it's so cool, like to be a

1702
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 2: part of something like Curtis is a part of you

1703
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,760
Speaker 2: know what it is in Oklahoma? You know, and there's

1704
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 2: a thing there. So all right, so let's recap the

1705
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 2: big twelve you you have.

1706
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 3: I went Texas, won Oklahoma two, and then I went

1707
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 3: West Virginia three.

1708
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 2: Great choice, great choice, mighty mark, you went, you got, you.

1709
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 8: Went Oklahoma, Kansas and then Baylor.

1710
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:13,520
Speaker 4: All right, Baylor, small stadium.

1711
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 3: But they did a really nice job with it, like

1712
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 3: they did a very boutique, nice smaller stadium that was

1713
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 3: really cool. It's a really cool experience down there.

1714
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, Ian, I got Texas one, o U

1715
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,600
Speaker 7: two in West Virginia three.

1716
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 2: Very good, very good. I'll go Oklahoma one. It's close, man,

1717
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 2: it's close. Something about the something about Norman. It's just

1718
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 2: a I give just a look that Sooner red you know,

1719
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 2: I mean I love the horns too, though it's it's

1720
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 2: one a you know again, four uts that don't have

1721
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 2: that aren't down there because it's a blood rival. It's

1722
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 2: the Red River blood rival, right, but you know, both

1723
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 2: of those schools are so attractive. So you know, I'll

1724
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 2: just give you Oklahoma, Texas and in West Virginia. So

1725
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 2: you could you could do the math on that one.

1726
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: But there is there's something that there's something about that,

1727
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, there's there's nothing there's

1728
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 2: something that's so cool, so alluring about those schools when

1729
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 2: you were in when you were with Game Day, did

1730
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 2: you do a lot of the food stuff.

1731
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 3: Too, Oh yeah, Like that was one thing I did

1732
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 3: on a lot of our shows, is like I would

1733
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 3: go eat somewhere and we would film it and put

1734
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 3: it out, you know, on socials and everything where it's like,

1735
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 3: all right, let's just try the sandwiches, Let's try the

1736
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 3: local place, Let's try and get the local flair, you know,

1737
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 3: and it's I think that's one of the coolest things

1738
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 3: you can do in each of these cities, the opportunity

1739
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 3: to eat that food. And you know, it's a little

1740
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 3: bit of a callback in some of these cities because

1741
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 3: if you' you know, if you're talking about Texas, you're

1742
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 3: talking about Oklahoma, you're also talking about state fairs. I

1743
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 3: played in country music, right, so I've already eat my

1744
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 3: way through half of these places anyway, but to do

1745
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 3: it again around college football is incredible. The tailgating in general,

1746
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 3: Like we you know, every time I watch a show,

1747
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 3: a TV show with kids that can cook, I'm always

1748
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 3: amazed by you know, ten year old out here making

1749
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 3: something I've never even heard of. But I do think

1750
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 3: we sometimes sleep on how you know, how restaurant worthy.

1751
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 3: So much tailgating has gotten like it's not what it

1752
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 3: was when we were kids, where it was like, all right,

1753
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 3: somebody sets up a grill and like you just got

1754
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 3: a couple of samfifs or whatever. Yeah, it's like now,

1755
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you got people that are making

1756
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 3: like meals and it's it's incredible what they do at

1757
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 3: some of these stadiums on a Saturday. It's an all

1758
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:38,679
Speaker 3: week endeavor just to get ready.

1759
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, it's it's it's incredible, you're right. I

1760
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 2: mean it's a display of a culinary display of what

1761
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:51,560
Speaker 2: they do. It's it's pretty awesome. I always wanted to

1762
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 2: write a book about the different nuance of like football,

1763
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 2: how we how we love football and American and each

1764
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 2: of the different kind of corners the nooks and crannies

1765
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 2: of the country and which includes the tale you know,

1766
01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 2: the food.

1767
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 11: The.

1768
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:19,480
Speaker 2: Football and the food you know together it's so American,

1769
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 2: you know, but in a typical American fashion, we celebrate

1770
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 2: it with different melting plot pot of flair, right like

1771
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 2: to you go to Italy and while there's whatever it is,

1772
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 2: twenty one regions, you know, a little varies from north

1773
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:44,679
Speaker 2: to south, and you know, little nuances like North cooks

1774
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 2: with butter, South cooks with olive oil. But in the

1775
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 2: end it's still the Italian culture, right, same thing in

1776
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 2: you know, Spain, and even though within Spain it marries,

1777
01:35:55,800 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 2: there's nothing that varies more than the United States. We

1778
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: are a true melting pot, right, So we are so vast,

1779
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,600
Speaker 2: you know, we are so much bigger than the European

1780
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 2: countries that we have such uniqueness in how we celebrate

1781
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,679
Speaker 2: something that is important to us, like football.

1782
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 7: The European mind cannot comprehend how big college football is

1783
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 7: in America. Like, I think it's so cool, how blown

1784
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 7: away they are when they hear about how into college

1785
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,560
Speaker 7: sports we are. Like, to them, it's like, oh, you

1786
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 7: watch kids PLAYEPA play sports, you watch students play sports.

1787
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 7: But to us, it's like, yeah, that's like the biggest

1788
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:39,920
Speaker 7: sport here besides NFL.

1789
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well because they're they're playing professional at sixteen,

1790
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 2: seventeen years old, right, you know, Luca is seventeen years

1791
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 2: old thrown against thirty year olds playing basketball, right, the

1792
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:58,680
Speaker 2: professional leagues, So that's you know, they don't have that,

1793
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 2: they don't have the system kind of that we do.

1794
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 2: All right, so let's dive.

1795
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:08,679
Speaker 7: Into let's do a c C playing on the results

1796
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 7: for Big twelve. Yes, yes, so OU was first, Texas

1797
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 7: was second, and then West Virginia was third. But obviously

1798
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 7: there was a big gap between those first two in

1799
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:18,879
Speaker 7: West Virginia.

1800
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,719
Speaker 3: I would just like to point out that my streak continues.

1801
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 3: Whatever I vote for is number one does not survive.

1802
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 3: That's just it just doesn't make it through, doesn't make

1803
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 3: it through. It's fine.

1804
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 7: Well, I thought you had the same as FITZI you

1805
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:31,879
Speaker 7: had Texas.

1806
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,759
Speaker 3: Fitz No, I thought you said, oh you came in first.

1807
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I know, Oh you came in first. Texas

1808
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 7: was second. I thought you. I thought you.

1809
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 3: Okay, No, I'm just saying that, like my first choice

1810
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 3: didn't wasn't.

1811
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 7: It doesn't come out on top of the grip.

1812
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well how did wait? How did that happen?

1813
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 2: So I had Texas second?

1814
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:47,679
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1815
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 7: So so Mark didn't have Texas at all and he

1816
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 7: had Ou first. So that was kind of the big

1817
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 7: swinging mindy.

1818
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 3: Mark continues to be that Like, have you ever seen

1819
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 3: the Always Sonny where they're on family Feud and they're

1820
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 3: going through the whole and like Charlie Day always suggests

1821
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,519
Speaker 3: the most random answer that doesn't it's nonsensical, it doesn't

1822
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 3: ever fit. And then he always gets it right because

1823
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 3: you find out at the end of the episode that

1824
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 3: he was actually called one day and was part of

1873
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:14,479
Speaker 2: two boys, and you're gonna this is just for for

1874
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 2: this coming week. I gotta get sent this to You're

1875
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 2: gonna crack up laughing. It's ridiculous. But anyway, let's do

1876
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 2: our ode to college football the ACC. Where do you

1877
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:33,160
Speaker 2: think it all?

1878
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 3: Right? So pageantry ACC Clemson number one. I think that

1879
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 3: one's pretty pretty set in my mind. And I will

1880
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 3: give Virginia Tech number two. Even though the program is

1881
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 3: not where they were before, there's still something magical about Blacksburg.

1882
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 3: To me, what gets really tough is number three, honestly,

1883
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 3: because like I get that everybody's gonna put Florida State.

1884
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 3: I keep thinking about the pictures I saw a couple

1885
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 3: of years ago from a friend of mine that knows

1886
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,040
Speaker 3: that program well, of an empty stadium because they didn't

1887
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 3: like Norvella in his first year. And I keep thinking

1888
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:10,719
Speaker 3: about that, and it just bothers me. Right, it's hard

1889
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 3: for me to get behind some of these atmospheres, like

1890
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 3: Miami's atmosphere is meant nowadays. You know, Boston College has

1891
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 3: no atmosphere, Louisville's Okay. I think I'm gonna take NC

1892
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,640
Speaker 3: State is my number three atmosphere in the ACC. So

1893
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 3: I go Clemson, Virginia Tech, NC State, leaving Florida State

1894
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 3: off because it's still just stuck in my mind how

1895
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 3: bad it was a couple of years ago. And for

1896
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,680
Speaker 3: my money, you know, we mentioned Nebraska earlier. Even when

1897
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,720
Speaker 3: Nebraska is not good, the atmosphere still is. I think

1898
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 3: I think Florida State takes a little bit of a

1899
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 3: knock on that for me. So they go down to

1900
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 3: four behind NC State. That's my controversial pick.

1901
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 2: Wow, now once more, you're not going to put Yodre

1902
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:53,719
Speaker 2: Davy there.

1903
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 3: Oh. I wasn't including Notre Dame in the ACC because

1904
01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:00,599
Speaker 3: they're an independent if we never mind will include Notre Dame.

1905
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:02,839
Speaker 2: That that makes we've got to put Notre Dame somewhere.

1906
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 3: So we're putting Dame, let's put Notre.

1907
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 2: Dame in there, because now you have a battle between

1908
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Clemson. Yeah.

1909
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,719
Speaker 3: I would put Notre Dame one, I would put Clemson two,

1910
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 3: and I would put Virginia Tech three. That's much easier.

1911
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 3: I feel much better about that list.

1912
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, actually I think that's actually perfect. Uh mighty Mark,

1913
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 2: you got you heard Notre Dames there? So are you

1914
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 2: going to go Notre Dame or Notre Dame figured in

1915
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:36,000
Speaker 2: from Chicago?

1916
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:42,640
Speaker 8: And then I think I'll do Miami you first, and

1917
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 8: then Florida State. So there you go, you Miami and

1918
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 8: then Florida State you.

1919
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:53,759
Speaker 2: Go to you? All right? I like it? No Clemson,

1920
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 2: how about you? Ian?

1921
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 7: So I'm going Clemson one, uh, and then Notre Dame

1922
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 7: to Florida State three. Yeah, And that's that bothers me too,

1923
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 7: fits that Norvelle thing. But just if I was a recruit,

1924
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 7: I think Florida State I would have to still give

1925
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 7: the edge.

1926
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 2: There's something like to speaking about magic, right, And I'm

1927
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 2: sure you've been there a million time. Fitsy Tallahazi, Yeah right,

1928
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 2: like cool Tallahatzi.

1929
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 3: Oh there is magic to Tallahassee. But man, there's magic

1930
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 3: to Inner Sandman too. Like Blacksburg, you're you're just your

1931
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 3: sort of they're like even when they're bad, when that

1932
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 3: moment happens, Like Virginia Tech is a terrible football team,

1933
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 3: we will all watch the beginning of a home Virginia

1934
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 3: Tech game just to see Inner Sandman, and then we'll

1935
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 3: flip it off. If Florida State's terrible, are we are

1936
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 3: we tuning in? That's you know, that's part of the thing.

1937
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 3: I give that much credit to what Inner Sandman means

1938
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 3: is a college football experience that I put Blacksburg three.

1939
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 2: You know, Thursday night, Blacksburg Beaver Ball. I mean, that

1940
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. When they were blocking punts, yeah, I mean,

1941
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 2: they were just I mean that was humble. That was

1942
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 2: incredible theater.

1943
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and I realize that they haven't lived

1944
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 3: up to that expectation now, but it still feels electric.

1945
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 3: It's still when you watch those games, still feels like

1946
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 3: that crowd is everybody's into it. Part of it is

1947
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 3: it like you're in Blacksburg. What else do you have

1948
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 3: to do? Right, Like, you're going to that game, no

1949
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 3: matter how good about the football team, what else do

1950
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 3: you have to do? But yeah, I think that's a

1951
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 3: big part of you know, there's something special even now

1952
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 3: still about it.

1953
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 2: To me, how about let's look at the you, because

1954
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 2: mightdy Mark brings up to you any love for the you?

1955
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 3: Now, I just think the stadium is so far from

1956
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:53,479
Speaker 3: the campus that it just all feels kind of cold

1957
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 3: and removed to me. So like the U is one

1958
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,160
Speaker 3: of those things that you know, you talk about the history,

1959
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 3: and I think if we looked at past players and

1960
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 3: past greatness, that matters. But if we look at this

1961
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 3: current vibe and this current team, it just hasn't mattered

1962
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 3: for a long time to that same level.

1963
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so it's been a way for too long.

1964
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 2: Like anytime you you gotta go back to the early

1965
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:22,720
Speaker 2: two thousands, right, like Jeremy Shockey and that squad. So

1966
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 2: that's a long time, man.

1967
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 3: And you're right, once you've been gone that long, it's

1968
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:28,880
Speaker 3: just sort of a memory, you know.

1969
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:35,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, yeah, I would go Notre Dame one, Clemson two,

1970
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 2: and man, I probably go I mean I got a

1971
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 2: soft spot for that Beamer ball. And I also love Tallahassie.

1972
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean being there with Bobby Bowden like during that era.

1973
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool. Man. I guess

1974
01:46:55,479 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 2: I'll go Va Tech. But it's close, Yo, it's not close.

1975
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:05,599
Speaker 2: Is it's Notre Dame. Man, it still matters. It's it's

1976
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty cool because it's something like when you

1977
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 2: go on that campus. I mean, fitsy tell everybody like

1978
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 2: that that campus it just feels like football. It does.

1979
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:21,519
Speaker 3: And I would say this, if you're a kid and

1980
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 3: you're even playing against Notre Dame and you find out

1981
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,800
Speaker 3: you get to go to Notre Dame for your game,

1982
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 3: I think that matters. You sit there all year, you're like, man,

1983
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 3: I can't wait for that Notre Dame game. Like it's

1984
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 3: just that stadium, that atmosphere. Touchdown, Jesus what it means

1985
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 3: on the campus. You talk about the history that is

1986
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 3: obviously still intertwined in all of it, but even there's

1987
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 3: just something different about the way all of the gold helmet,

1988
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 3: like something just hits different from everything in the way

1989
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:50,439
Speaker 3: that they do things.

1990
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:56,600
Speaker 2: It does. It really does pregame and that the linebacker

1991
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 2: in is something there's something out that place. Yeah it is.

1992
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 2: It's hallowed, man, it really is. It's hallowed stuff. All right,

1993
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 2: What do we got for the A c.

1994
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:15,520
Speaker 7: C Ian Alright? So Notre Dame won in a landslide.

1995
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:20,840
Speaker 7: Clemson was second and then third. I gave it to

1996
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 7: Virginia Tech, which was tied with Florida State at six.

1997
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 7: But I gave it to Virginia Tech because because you

1998
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 7: two anton Fits were the two that put Virginia Tech,

1999
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 7: while Mighty Mark and I put Florida State. So we'll

2000
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 7: give it to the edge to the talent.

2001
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 4: Wow, look at that. I feel fancy right now?

2002
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel I feel uncomfortable. Just leave it as

2003
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,679
Speaker 2: a tie, man, there's no pecking order here.

2004
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 3: I mean, we could do a runoff.

2005
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 2: You know, we're good. We're good. You leave it as

2006
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 2: a tie. It's fine. For third, it's all good.

2007
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 3: I give you guys a participation trophy.

2008
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 2: For all right. Now, let's get to the biggest of

2009
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 2: them all, the Southeastern Conference. And if you really want

2010
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 2: like pomp and circumstance and you want tradition and college

2011
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 2: football oozing, it just doesn't get any bigger. You know,

2012
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:30,400
Speaker 2: I love the Big Ten, but I still got to

2013
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 2: go a little nod to the SEC. It just feels

2014
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 2: bigger and the places are mythical. So whether you go with,

2015
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 2: you pick your division because you know, as much as

2016
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:51,640
Speaker 2: we go to Batim Rouge and Tuscaloosa, you know, Gainesville's

2017
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 2: got every bit of it. Man, Like, you know, it's

2018
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:58,720
Speaker 2: chock full of it. I know you're you're you've been

2019
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 2: to all those major places, FITZI yeah.

2020
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean, look, number one is clear cup for me,

2021
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 3: and that's LSU. I mean, the LSU experience was one

2022
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 3: of the coolest sports experiences I've ever had in my life.

2023
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 3: I think that that stadium and you know, granted it

2024
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 3: was for a huge game when I was there, but

2025
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:21,640
Speaker 3: that stadium was absolutely Lsubama. So it was you know

2026
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 3: Lsubama when they were you know, top five teams, so

2027
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 3: it was it was electric. So LSU takes a clear

2028
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:33,679
Speaker 3: number one for me. I honestly, the Swamp is wildly

2029
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,719
Speaker 3: underrated at this point. Like the rest of the experience

2030
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:38,679
Speaker 3: I had around game day wasn't great, but the actual

2031
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,519
Speaker 3: game experience at the Swamp was. It was different. I

2032
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 3: think I actually controversial take care I think ago LSU

2033
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:50,680
Speaker 3: won Florida two, and then maybe it's between Georgia and

2034
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee at three, and I think I leaned Georgia, but

2035
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 3: I could also be talked into Tennessee. This is the

2036
01:50:56,720 --> 01:51:00,040
Speaker 3: toughest one for it. I didn't even include Bama. I

2037
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,439
Speaker 3: haven't even talked about A and M or Auburn. So

2038
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:09,640
Speaker 3: my god, I think I'm gonna go LSU Florida, Georgia.

2039
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 3: I think that's where I'm gonna go. I could be

2040
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 3: talked out of this though. That's where I am right now.

2041
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:22,520
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. Auburn, which you glossed over, Yeah,

2042
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 2: is an incredible environment. You know, it's a great underrated environment.

2043
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 2: Freaking old Miss.

2044
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ole Miss is incredible, incredible, like Ole Miss. I

2045
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 3: feel like maybe I've shorted them, Like yeah, you could

2046
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:40,639
Speaker 3: talk me. You can't talk me out of LSU number one.

2047
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 3: And I think Florida number two I feel good about.

2048
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:48,320
Speaker 3: You could talk me into Ole Miss, Georgia or Tennessee

2049
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:50,599
Speaker 3: or maybe even Auburn for number three.

2050
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:52,679
Speaker 4: Like I am very on the fence.

2051
01:51:54,120 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cainesville is something man the gator pit. Like see,

2052
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:06,519
Speaker 2: I agree with you that LSU's number one. I love Lashue.

2053
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 2: I battm rouge and like, I'm with you. I think

2054
01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 2: Lsho's one, But I don't know, man, I like all

2055
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 2: these other ones, Like I mean, are we just we're

2056
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 2: just going to gloss over at Alabama? Like is that possible?

2057
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 2: Like too?

2058
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:31,799
Speaker 3: But then think about that Bama Tennessee game at Nyland

2059
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 3: and you know them taking the cross the goal posts

2060
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,639
Speaker 3: and throwing it into the river afterwards, like that that

2061
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 3: you want to talk about just college football atmosphere, ripping

2062
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 3: the goal post down and marching it through the street

2063
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 3: to throw it in the river. Tennessee's number two. I'm

2064
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 3: moving Tennessee up to number two. There we go. That's it.

2065
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 3: That's it. You rip the goal post out, you dig

2066
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 3: it down, your throw it in the river. You go

2067
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 3: to number two.

2068
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean the checkered at his own and.

2069
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 4: The old miss with the cow like, oh god, I

2070
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 4: don't know.

2071
01:53:01,120 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 2: I think about it, and then we'll.

2072
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 7: Get very well, yeah, I'm writing in pen here fits.

2088
01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:07,599
Speaker 2: Mark Mark.

2089
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 8: I am going to pick Alabama as the first one,

2090
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 8: and the Auburn and then Tennessee.

2091
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 2: Alright, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee for the highly recruits out of Chicago,

2092
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 2: the south side, all right, eot well, the defensive.

2093
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:38,320
Speaker 7: End, alright, I've got a long beach. Yeah, I've got

2094
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,400
Speaker 7: I've got LSU. Number one. Had to agree with you

2095
01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:45,640
Speaker 7: guys there, going all miss number two? Uh, and then

2096
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 7: number three. I'm gonna go with Alabama just because everything

2097
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 7: we were saying about USC kind of rings true with

2098
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:53,080
Speaker 7: Alabama too. But then you just add in the atmosphere

2099
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 7: and game to atmosphere. So gotta go Alabama three.

2100
01:54:56,440 --> 01:55:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I agree, all right, I will go

2101
01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 2: to set there and we'll do the drum roll for Fitzie.

2102
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to go number one, LSU. I'm going to

2103
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:18,959
Speaker 2: go number two, Alabama, number three, Tennessee. I love Florida.

2104
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 2: I thought about bold Miss, you know, I mean, you're

2105
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 2: right about we even get to A and M. There's

2106
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 2: so much, there's so much going on. We talk about

2107
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 2: George like, it's almost criminal that we don't even get

2108
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 2: George on there. I just don't know how to tell

2109
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 2: any of them break the top three. So that's my three.

2110
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 2: Now you got it in Penn, let's hear it.

2111
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 3: Big changes, big changes, Number one, LSU, number two, the

2112
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 3: groven Ole Miss and here's the thing.

2113
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,320
Speaker 4: Wow, here's the thing.

2114
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 2: Go there.

2115
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about it the whole break and all

2116
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:01,360
Speaker 3: I keep thinking about. I'm gonna hold the same standard.

2117
01:56:01,440 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 3: I talked about empty stadium Florida State. We all know

2118
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 3: that when Alabama plays like Northwestern Community Tire School and

2119
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 3: nobody cares about it, that stadium's empty. Nobody goes because

2120
01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 3: they don't want to see those trash games. The grove

2121
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 3: is never empty. It doesn't matter who you play. Ole

2122
01:56:17,120 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 3: Miss is gonna come out and it's gonna be fired up.

2123
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 3: So I take the Grove at number two and at

2124
01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 3: number three. When you got hundreds of boats in the

2125
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 3: water and you pick up your goalposts, you're taking you

2126
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 3: chuck it in the goal in the water. Afterwards, Kneeland

2127
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 3: gets number three. So I'm going number one, LSU number two,

2128
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 3: Ole Miss number three. Tennessee, I'm leaving everybody else off

2129
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:37,560
Speaker 3: the list, and I still love all it.

2130
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 4: Like hear me, sec fans, I love all of your environments.

2131
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,040
Speaker 3: I think some of the schools that we left off

2132
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 3: the list would be number one in other conferences. But man,

2133
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 3: this just comes down to the fact that there's true

2134
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:50,840
Speaker 3: greatness from the three that I mentioned.

2135
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 2: Wow wow wow wow wow wow.

2136
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 3: I mean ole Miss, the grove, the food, the visuals

2137
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 3: you like.

2138
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 2: Now, it's been a minute since I've been down there too,

2139
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 2: like I've been down there for years. Give me, uh,

2140
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 2: since you've been down there more recent? Give me what it?

2141
01:57:14,320 --> 01:57:17,880
Speaker 2: Give me this spread that you see you or you

2142
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 2: enter upon the grove.

2143
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 3: It's truly everything, like when you talk about every type

2144
01:57:23,440 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 3: of food. But the amazing thing is that you got

2145
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:27,600
Speaker 3: because it's the South, right, so you have people bringing

2146
01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 3: in full trailers and full tractors that are filled with

2147
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 3: grills and griddles, and like the crazy thing is that

2148
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,320
Speaker 3: you if you walk up and down the number of

2149
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 3: people total strangers that will just invite you to come

2150
01:57:39,200 --> 01:57:41,919
Speaker 3: into their tailgate and feed you. Like you can get breakfast,

2151
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 3: you can get lunch, you can get dinner. All walking

2152
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:47,040
Speaker 3: up and down the line and everybody's having drinks and

2153
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:49,960
Speaker 3: everybody's so nice. Like one thing that really stands out,

2154
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 3: Like I've been ole miss and Kneeling both when I

2155
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 3: was not wearing any colors that represent any team, and

2156
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 3: the fans were all at both of those places were

2157
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:01,240
Speaker 3: so welcoming, Like I do think that's part of the

2158
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 3: fun atmosphere, is like, hey, come party with us, Like

2159
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 3: you don't have to know anybody in those tailgates and

2160
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 3: you're going to be just fine having a great day.

2161
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well put. It is, it's well put. The

2162
01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 2: only figure is it's why I had to put Alabama too, Like,

2163
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: how do you not how do you just ignore that?

2164
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 3: Well, it's not that I ignore, I mean one hundred

2165
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 3: thousand fans and my god, that stadium is so loud,

2166
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 3: so loud when there's a great matchup. I just think

2167
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:33,440
Speaker 3: that part of the the Like, cupcakes aren't going anywhere,

2168
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 3: so everybody's going to schedule them. So the question is

2169
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 3: when you schedule cupcakes, where do you still have an

2170
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 3: environment where it doesn't matter who the opponent is, you

2171
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 3: still have an environment. And that was sort of the

2172
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 3: tiebreaker during the break for me is sitting here thinking, Okay,

2173
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 3: I'm devaluing Ole Miss because I want to put Alabama

2174
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 3: higher on the list. But there have been real conversations

2175
01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 3: about attendance issues for cupcake games in Alabama, because if

2176
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:00,160
Speaker 3: you're a Bama fan, you're not into seeing that. Don't

2177
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 3: want to see the National Auto Diesel College get their

2178
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 3: butts kicked by Bama. Like, but at some point, if

2179
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 3: you're an old miss, you just you just want to

2180
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:10,360
Speaker 3: be at the party, so you're going no matter what happens.

2181
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 3: That to me is part of the game day experience

2182
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 3: we have to account for. So I get the history

2183
01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:17,480
Speaker 3: of Bama and I think that's real, and I get

2184
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:21,160
Speaker 3: the beauty. Like the crowd there is just absolutely disruptive.

2185
01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 3: But man, day in and day out, no matter who

2186
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 3: the opponent almost can hang with him.

2187
01:59:27,120 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know, it's it really is great. It's great. Yeah,

2188
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:33,960
Speaker 2: we even put Florida on there.

2189
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel Florida almost edged out Tennessee. For me,

2190
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:38,600
Speaker 3: that was that was a tough one.

2191
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's interesting me because you know, and Georgia doesn't

2192
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:47,280
Speaker 2: even get a sniff. Dude, Like, think about that for

2193
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 2: a second, and you know what Georgia mean is.

2194
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 4: That is wild that it works.

2195
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 3: Again, Georgia would be number one on most conference lists,

2196
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 3: just not on this list.

2197
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:00,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, you guys want the top three.

2198
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 2: Wait, well we'll do it on the other side, all right,

2199
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:04,600
Speaker 2: because you've got to take a quick time out. So

2200
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:06,920
Speaker 2: we'll come back and we'll put a whole neat bow

2201

02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:37,160
Speaker 2: and safe. So with the college football and the new

2222
02:01:37,200 --> 02:01:40,600
Speaker 2: game College Football coming out, we've been we're jones in right,

2223
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:42,520
Speaker 2: We're looking for something. So we spent the majority of

2224
02:01:42,520 --> 02:01:48,280
Speaker 2: the show talking about college football, the different schools, different universities,

2225
02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 2: where we would go to, we'd want to go? What

2226
02:01:51,080 --> 02:01:54,840
Speaker 2: is our what would be if we were top recruits

2227
02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 2: and we had choice, where would we want to go?

2228
02:01:58,440 --> 02:02:01,440
Speaker 2: What's important to us? And wis of these schools? So

2229
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 2: we broke it down by conferences like last year, because

2230
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:06,640
Speaker 2: we wanted to have a little bit of a kind

2231
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:09,800
Speaker 2: of separation that allow us to talk about more schools.

2232
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:12,760
Speaker 2: So we had to pack twelve and the Big twelve

2233
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:15,560
Speaker 2: as they were last year. So we went into it

2234
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:19,879
Speaker 2: kind of looking at each of the schools and we've

2235
02:02:20,200 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 2: ended up culmination SEC. H FITZI, you once again for

2236
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:33,720
Speaker 2: your SEC. You had one, two three, One being LSU and.

2237
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 3: Two being Ole Miss, three being Tennessee. Controversy everywhere, controversy everywhere. Yes,

2238
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:44,240
Speaker 3: no Bank, no Florida, no A and M God, I

2239
02:02:44,240 --> 02:02:44,840
Speaker 3: feel terrible.

2240
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:46,560
Speaker 2: No Georgia, no Georgia.

2241
02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeh, I feel terrible, But I.

2242
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Like, I can't really argue I didn't go Miss. The

2243
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:57,040
Speaker 2: only way we differ because I have LSU one and

2244
02:02:57,480 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 2: I have Tennessee three. But I couldn't. I couldn't leave

2245
02:03:01,200 --> 02:03:05,600
Speaker 2: out Alabama. Like if I go at Sea when we

2246
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 2: were doing PAC twelve, then I can't leave out Alabama. Right.

2247
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:14,640
Speaker 3: That's actually really fair point because history means a lot

2248
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:17,240
Speaker 3: to you. You were you were passionate about SC and

2249
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve, and you were passionate about BAMA and

2250
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:24,280
Speaker 3: the SEC. You remain consistent as I did because the

2251
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 3: history isn't as big a deal to me. I left

2252
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 3: USC off my PAC twelve list. It makes me feel

2253
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 3: a little bit better about leaving Bama off my sec list.

2254
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. We Actually it's interesting because you learn a lot

2255
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 2: about yourself and others and your buddies, like you know,

2256
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:44,560
Speaker 2: were your formative years or how they were spent. Right, So,

2257
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:51,720
Speaker 2: if FITZI was born in Vegas and goes to Nashville

2258
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,600
Speaker 2: spends a lot of time in Nashville, two areas that

2259
02:03:54,680 --> 02:03:59,320
Speaker 2: got like boom sports towns, right, Like you get like,

2260
02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 2: let's take how hockey the Vegas Knights and the Prince

2261
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 2: like incredible way to celebrate the sport. But they are

2262
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:12,720
Speaker 2: the new school, like with no tradition whatsoever, and you've

2263
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 2: cleaved to that right.

2264
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:19,600
Speaker 3: Well, and think about even so, the most important franchise

2265
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:22,240
Speaker 3: in my life as a sports fan was the Raiders

2266
02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 3: has been the Raiders my whole life. I grew up

2267
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 3: an La Raiders fan that became an Oakland Raiders fan

2268
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 3: that is now a.

2269
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:29,560
Speaker 4: Vegas Raiders fan.

2270
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:32,320
Speaker 3: And through every step of that relocation, when people have said,

2271
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:34,000
Speaker 3: oh my god, how can you leave a city, my

2272
02:04:34,040 --> 02:04:35,840
Speaker 3: answers sort of been like I don't really care. Like,

2273
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm not from any of those cities, so if they

2274
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:40,160
Speaker 3: choose to move, it doesn't really hit my heart the

2275
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:41,840
Speaker 3: same way, like, I don't care where the Raiders play.

2276
02:04:41,880 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 3: I just want them to play in a really cool

2277
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:45,040
Speaker 3: stadium and I want to be able to go to

2278
02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 3: games like That's what I care about. And I know

2279
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 3: that a lot of Oakland fans found that super efensive

2280
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:51,960
Speaker 3: when I was so open about that, But to me,

2281
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 3: I look, I didn't go to an Oakland Raiders game

2282
02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:58,520
Speaker 3: until I was a grown ass man. Like I grew.

2283
02:04:58,560 --> 02:05:01,160
Speaker 3: I grew up my whole life every single Sunday being

2284
02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:03,760
Speaker 3: dedicated to watching the Raiders. I never saw a game

2285
02:05:03,800 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 3: in Oakland until I was, you know, in my thirties, right,

2286
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 3: So you know, I just think about all that, and

2287
02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 3: it speaks to you know, how I'm wired when it

2288
02:05:11,240 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 3: comes to the history stuff. Now, it doesn't really bother

2289
02:05:13,720 --> 02:05:17,120
Speaker 3: me that you're changing the history so much because that's

2290
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:18,600
Speaker 3: just not part of my wiring.

2291
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because you also were You're also raised

2292
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:30,320
Speaker 2: in a town that didn't have a long legacy of

2293
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 2: pro sports, right.

2294
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 3: They grows in transient towns, I mean mostly Yeah, like

2295
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:36,400
Speaker 3: Vegas and even Nashville.

2296
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 4: They're transient cities.

2297
02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 3: People. Not a lot of people are from Nashville, you know,

2298
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 3: like not a lot of people are from Vegas. People

2299
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 3: look can be so weird when I say I'm from Vegas.

2300
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:46,520
Speaker 3: My right arm is a tattoo of everywhere I've ever

2301
02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 3: lived in the moments I'm proud of stuff in my life.

2302
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 3: And the amount of times people stop and be like,

2303
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:52,680
Speaker 3: do you have a Vegas tattoo? And it's like, yeah,

2304
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:54,680
Speaker 3: well that's where I'm from because it's a big part

2305
02:05:54,680 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 3: of that skyline on my arm. And it's funny to

2306
02:05:57,280 --> 02:05:59,120
Speaker 3: see the looks that people get me when they're like, wait,

2307
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 3: you're from Vegas. It go, It does exist. There are

2308
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:03,400
Speaker 3: people from Vegas. It's just not common.

2309
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that is interesting. People look at it like that.

2310
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 2: It's true. And I'm raised the opposite, right, I'm raised

2311
02:06:12,160 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 2: in an old city in Philadelphia and with you know,

2312
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 2: a long tradition of sports teams, and so when I

2313
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:27,480
Speaker 2: when I think about teams relocating, it kills me because

2314
02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, I could put myself in the in that place.

2315
02:06:31,680 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 2: Like years and year I was a little guy, the

2316
02:06:34,280 --> 02:06:38,720
Speaker 2: Eagles were about to move they were close.

2317
02:06:38,800 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 3: I don't know that ever happened.

2318
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the eighties they were close to moving the Phoenix.

2319
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, before Arizona, before the Arizona Cardinals. Remember

2320
02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:54,760
Speaker 2: the Cardinals were in Saint Louis, right.

2321
02:06:54,680 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 3: Me growing up as a kid, Saint Louis Cardinals.

2322
02:06:56,520 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and it was man Jim Hard and Metcalf

2323
02:07:02,440 --> 02:07:06,480
Speaker 2: was the running back. And what I remember anyway, the

2324
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Arizonta was looking Phoenix was looking for a team, and

2325
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:15,000
Speaker 2: the owner of the Eagles, this guy named Leonard Toe's,

2326
02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 2: was in serious financial trouble and they had they had

2327
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 2: talked to the city of Phoenix and they were gonna

2328
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:27,800
Speaker 2: lure the Eagles and cure all the woes, financial woes,

2329
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 2: and it just got stopped at the eleventh hour type

2330
02:07:31,680 --> 02:07:31,960
Speaker 2: of thing.

2331
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 3: That's kind of crazy, like to think about how close

2332
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:38,640
Speaker 3: relocation has been for such an iconic franchise.

2333
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, look at the Colts, right,

2334
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean, does it get more iconic from those people

2335
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 2: from that generation? The Baltimore Cults was a big They

2336
02:07:50,480 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 2: made a movie who was that movie Diner where they

2337
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:56,560
Speaker 2: talked about the Baltimore cults, like how big the cults

2338
02:07:56,600 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 2: were for that sound and they left, Like that's that's

2339
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:04,760
Speaker 2: the one problem that I always thought, like I never

2340
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 2: liked the relocation thing, Like to this day, I still

2341
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:13,840
Speaker 2: can't believe that the SuperSonics don't exist, Like how did that?

2342
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:18,640
Speaker 2: How did the Sonics which were which was supported so

2343
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:20,960
Speaker 2: greatly just not exist?

2344
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:25,360
Speaker 3: I think it's wild too to see teams leave only

2345
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 3: to see other teams come back, Like it's crazy to

2346
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:31,400
Speaker 3: think that the Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens to

2347
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 3: get an expansion tea for the Cleveland Browns, so that

2348
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis, only for the Browns

2349
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 3: to move to Baltimore. That we've seen the Rams play

2350
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 3: in La Saint Louis and then back in LA you know,

2351
02:08:44,880 --> 02:08:47,800
Speaker 3: like that, we see redundant cities, like it's inevitable that

2352
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:50,920
Speaker 3: when the NBA expands, and most people think that's gonna

2353
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:52,880
Speaker 3: happen in the next five years, they're going to add

2354
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:56,200
Speaker 3: two cities. And most people you talk to an inner

2355
02:08:56,240 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 3: circles to tell you that that's going to be Vegas

2356
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:00,880
Speaker 3: in Seattle. And it's funny to think, well, Seattle had

2357
02:09:00,880 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 3: a team, lost the team and now they're gonna get

2358
02:09:02,720 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 3: a team back, like it's this weird cycle. Got one,

2359
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:06,720
Speaker 3: don't got one, got one, don't got one?

2360
02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 11: Like it.

2361
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:08,680
Speaker 4: It's that's wild to me.

2362
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really is. It's it's it is pretty wild,

2363
02:09:12,720 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 2: all right. So let's get back to it. So the

2364
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:20,640
Speaker 2: SCC what is the final tally Ian.

2365
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 7: Final tally LSU came out on top with thirty. Uh,

2366
02:09:25,600 --> 02:09:28,960
Speaker 7: Bama was second with eighteen, and third was Ole Miss

2367
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:29,400
Speaker 7: with ten.

2368
02:09:30,480 --> 02:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Wow?

2369
02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 3: Miss me putting Ole Miss at number two change the

2370
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:38,440
Speaker 3: whole balance of yeah, chase the whole balance power.

2371
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:40,760
Speaker 4: Look at that. Look at that almost getting a little low.

2372
02:09:41,480 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, you and I both having it at two. May

2373
02:09:44,200 --> 02:09:49,840
Speaker 7: gave it ten while there were three fits, so fits,

2374
02:09:49,920 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 7: you and and Mark all had Tennessee at three. But

2375
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:55,840
Speaker 7: that adds up to nine. So it's just short.

2376
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:59,560
Speaker 3: It's not by a single point.

2377
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,920
Speaker 2: Rocky Top on the outside looking in.

2378
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:06,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, they should be punished for making

2379
02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:07,880
Speaker 3: me listen to Rocky Top that many times?

2380
02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 4: Anyway?

2381
02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 3: Like that? Is there a more annoying tradition in college

2382
02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:14,760
Speaker 3: football than Rocky Top playing all the time in that stadium?

2383
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 3: I mean, good lord, it's golly that one. That one's tough.

2384
02:10:19,800 --> 02:10:22,320
Speaker 3: To it's just tough on the years by the third quarter,

2385
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:24,080
Speaker 3: where you're like, I just hope nothing else happens for

2386
02:10:24,080 --> 02:10:25,720
Speaker 3: a minute, because I'm tired to hear a rocket top.

2387
02:10:26,320 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 2: Hey real quick, what is the relationship between It's funny

2388
02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:36,920
Speaker 2: between country music, college football and the SEC.

2389
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:41,880
Speaker 3: It's I mean, so the whole reason for you pitched Yeah,

2390
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:44,160
Speaker 3: for years, I pitched to ESPN that I wanted to

2391
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:46,800
Speaker 3: do shows where I had music guys talk about college

2392
02:10:46,840 --> 02:10:50,640
Speaker 3: football because country music and college football all run in

2393
02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:53,160
Speaker 3: the same circles. It's it's life on the road for

2394
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:56,240
Speaker 3: a ton of the acts. It's it's relationship between a

2395
02:10:56,280 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 3: ton of the guys that play. And then the fans

2396
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:01,560
Speaker 3: are so common. Like know, I've mentioned this before, but

2397
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:03,600
Speaker 3: I'll never forget when we played, I think it was

2398
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:06,440
Speaker 3: called Tiger Fested LSU Stadium, and it was also Luke

2399
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 3: Bryant and it's the craziest. I mean, my keyboard was

2400
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:11,120
Speaker 3: shaken so much on the riser, I thought it was

2401
02:11:11,160 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 3: going to fall off just from the crowd. And that's

2402
02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:15,360
Speaker 3: the same crowd that goes to watch football, you know,

2403
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 3: the next day. So the common fan, the commonality between

2404
02:11:19,720 --> 02:11:23,200
Speaker 3: the fan bases is real. But then the true trash

2405
02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:26,560
Speaker 3: talking like Zach Zach Brown Band. Some of those guys

2406
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:28,840
Speaker 3: are Georgia fans and some of those guys are Bama fans,

2407
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:31,960
Speaker 3: and that's real. Like they argue on the bus repeatedly

2408
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 3: about it. And you can get guys to tell you stories.

2409
02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:37,360
Speaker 3: And I've done this before in different interviews, like Caane Brown,

2410
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 3: big Georgia fan, you know. He he has his phone

2411
02:11:40,600 --> 02:11:43,560
Speaker 3: on the stage during games so that people can, you know,

2412
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:46,040
Speaker 3: tell him the scores of what's going on. And even

2413
02:11:46,200 --> 02:11:49,040
Speaker 3: Chris Young, a good buddy of mine, you know, from Texas,

2414
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:51,600
Speaker 3: and he tells the story of being on stage one

2415
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 3: day and the guy told him, because you wear these

2416
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:55,840
Speaker 3: little inn ears that you know, people can talk to

2417
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,600
Speaker 3: you in during concerts. And the Indian monitor guy told

2418
02:11:58,680 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 3: him to score the Texas game and accidentally let an

2419
02:12:00,840 --> 02:12:02,320
Speaker 3: f bomb out in front of the mic because he

2420
02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 3: was mad, and.

2421
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:04,040
Speaker 2: Like it's.

2422
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 3: It's life, yeah, like when you're when you're talking about

2423
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:11,800
Speaker 3: I mean, Darius Rutger doesn't like to play during a

2424
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:13,640
Speaker 3: South Carolina game if he can avoid it, but if

2425
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:16,240
Speaker 3: he has to, then he doesn't want anyone to say anything.

2426
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 3: So we can go back up with the bus and

2427
02:12:17,640 --> 02:12:19,840
Speaker 3: watch it from the start, you know, like everybody has

2428
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:22,800
Speaker 3: their routine. The Rascal Flats guys Ohio State fans, a

2429
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 3: couple of them, you know, they make sure the bus

2430
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:27,320
Speaker 3: is always parked in a very particular spot so that

2431
02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 3: they have satellite service on Saturdays to watch the game

2432
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 3: like it's college football. Is truly life for guys on

2433
02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 3: the road.

2434
02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:37,080
Speaker 2: That's so cool. I love that. That's uh.

2435
02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:40,640
Speaker 3: I wish I wish it's like it's college football and look,

2436
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:42,720
Speaker 3: I pitched this the Big Noon too, but haven't gotten

2437
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:46,280
Speaker 3: any traction. I wish that college football would spend more

2438
02:12:46,280 --> 02:12:48,120
Speaker 3: time on the Saturday shows. I know they all want

2439
02:12:48,160 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 3: to make us cry and get in your feels and

2440
02:12:49,720 --> 02:12:52,760
Speaker 3: tell you about some incredible story of redemption, but I

2441
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:55,360
Speaker 3: wish that there was more storytelling about stuff like that

2442
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:58,400
Speaker 3: where you know music guys that love it and actors

2443
02:12:58,400 --> 02:12:59,960
Speaker 3: that love it and like what their day and day

2444
02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,160
Speaker 3: out routines are. Because I think what fans would be

2445
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 3: surprised at is, at the end of the day, at

2446
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:06,720
Speaker 3: their core, a lot of these guys that you you

2447
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,040

Speaker 2: Why it's wild? Listen, I went ped State probably more

2511
02:17:00,080 --> 02:17:06,120
Speaker 2: we're out of the history, my own local history. I

2512
02:17:06,600 --> 02:17:11,720
Speaker 2: probably should go elsewhere. But I get it. I like

2513
02:17:11,879 --> 02:17:15,760
Speaker 2: your I like your old mist love. That's big time

2514

Speaker 2: old miss love right there.

2515
02:17:18,480 --> 02:17:21,000
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is a tough one to leave off the list,

2516
02:17:21,080 --> 02:17:22,760
Speaker 3: but I feel like I feel like I have to.

2517
02:17:23,520 --> 02:17:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I really needed to. Men mind, because

2518
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:32,879
Speaker 2: I can't leave Alabama off the list because truthfully, if

2519
02:17:32,959 --> 02:17:36,880
Speaker 2: I think about it, if I look at it for

2520
02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:40,560
Speaker 2: my son, right, if I get to choose, my son

2521
02:17:40,680 --> 02:17:44,720
Speaker 2: had three choices, Alabama would be over Penn State.

2522
02:17:46,920 --> 02:17:49,400
Speaker 3: Just for the atmosphere, would be over Penn State. Yeah,

2523
02:17:49,440 --> 02:17:50,800
Speaker 3: I think that's I mean.

2524
02:17:50,800 --> 02:17:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean again I go on atmosphere and logo. Yeah yeah,

2525
02:17:55,560 --> 02:17:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's a lion. It means something,

2526
02:17:58,160 --> 02:18:02,240

02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:05,040
Speaker 3: I'll take Kentucky v. Un LV. Let's go the matchup.

2543
02:19:05,120 --> 02:19:07,840
Speaker 3: Nobody wants imagine how terrible you know, I'm not. Just

2544
02:19:08,160 --> 02:19:10,320
Speaker 3: imagine if your heart's sinking when you're like, oh, I

2545
02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:12,520
Speaker 3: can't wait for a good weekend at college football action

2546
02:19:12,840 --> 02:19:13,840
Speaker 3: and I come in and say the.

2547
02:19:13,879 --> 02:19:16,760
Speaker 4: Game of the week is Kentucky at UNLV.

2548
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:19,720
Speaker 3: But on this college football game, I'm telling you it's

2549
02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:20,960
Speaker 3: gonna be it's gonna be electric.

2550
02:19:21,720 --> 02:19:24,240
Speaker 2: Well you're gonna well listen, You're gonna make it right.

2551
02:19:24,680 --> 02:19:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you will listen. If you would LV was

2552
02:19:30,240 --> 02:19:33,520
Speaker 2: what became a thing in basketball, why wouldn't it become

2553
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:35,880
Speaker 2: a filure if you WNLV. Suddenly he was able to

2554
02:19:35,920 --> 02:19:39,959
Speaker 2: build a program, you know, I mean, and you got

2555
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:43,800
Speaker 2: some charismatic coach. I mean, think about what Pride did

2556
02:19:43,879 --> 02:19:44,640
Speaker 2: for Colorado.

2557
02:19:46,320 --> 02:19:49,000
Speaker 3: I think it's it's stunning that places like UNLV, where

2558
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:53,120
Speaker 3: there's casino money, haven't been able to figure out a

2559
02:19:53,160 --> 02:19:55,480
Speaker 3: way to nil their way. Like Barry Odom is their

2560
02:19:55,520 --> 02:19:57,840
Speaker 3: coach now, and he's not. He's he's a legit coach.

2561
02:19:58,200 --> 02:20:00,320
Speaker 3: He can coach like U and V had a good

2562
02:20:00,520 --> 02:20:02,760
Speaker 3: here last year. They play an Allegiance stadium. Now, like

2563
02:20:02,879 --> 02:20:05,600
Speaker 3: you would think all of the the systems are in place.

2564
02:20:05,680 --> 02:20:08,039
Speaker 3: It's just it's gonna take some of those casinos coming

2565
02:20:08,080 --> 02:20:09,600
Speaker 3: in and writing some big old checks to get some

2566
02:20:09,680 --> 02:20:12,200
Speaker 3: of that la USC talent to come over and play

2567
02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:14,880
Speaker 3: for UNLV instead, like U and LV basketball should be

2568
02:20:14,879 --> 02:20:16,920
Speaker 3: relevant right now because of the money that should be

2569
02:20:16,959 --> 02:20:19,280
Speaker 3: available to them. But you and LV football should be

2570
02:20:19,360 --> 02:20:22,080
Speaker 3: able to consistently win the Mountain West. And let's not

2571
02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:24,920
Speaker 3: forget that. You know, that's still being the best of

2572
02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:26,600
Speaker 3: the Power five still gives you a shot at the

2573
02:20:26,600 --> 02:20:30,000
Speaker 3: college football playoff and expansion. So why not? I guess

2574
02:20:30,240 --> 02:20:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm stunned they're not going They're not consistently getting better talent.

2575
02:20:34,400 --> 02:20:37,560
Speaker 2: Well, in this world did a world in this world

2576
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:43,200
Speaker 2: where you have, you know, like all the money to

2577
02:20:43,320 --> 02:20:47,040
Speaker 2: build your team, it could be anywhere, and kids have

2578
02:20:47,160 --> 02:20:49,240
Speaker 2: got like you said, they're gonna follow the money, so

2579
02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:52,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna go wherever and then and then wherever they

2580
02:20:52,920 --> 02:20:55,720
Speaker 2: go becomes a thing. Right, So now all of a sudden,

2581
02:20:55,800 --> 02:20:58,440
Speaker 2: you're creating a whole thing out of it. So like

2582
02:20:58,560 --> 02:21:02,320
Speaker 2: you know, I could start, you know, because you know

2583
02:21:02,320 --> 02:21:06,040
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, And if I had the right nil backing,

2584
02:21:06,640 --> 02:21:09,600
Speaker 2: cause you goes and builds a big time football team.

2585
02:21:09,879 --> 02:21:11,840
Speaker 2: And now all of a sudden, because you is a

2586
02:21:11,920 --> 02:21:12,440
Speaker 2: place to be.

2587
02:21:13,760 --> 02:21:15,959
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got in Vegas, You've got so many

2588
02:21:16,040 --> 02:21:19,400
Speaker 3: people that are worth literally billions of dollars that are

2589
02:21:19,440 --> 02:21:21,920
Speaker 3: in the casino industry, if they each just gave a

2590
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:24,560
Speaker 3: little bit to your point earlier. When we think about

2591
02:21:24,600 --> 02:21:27,640
Speaker 3: certain cities and we think about college football, I genuinely

2592
02:21:27,760 --> 02:21:31,040
Speaker 3: believe that if UNLB were built into a powerhouse, it

2593
02:21:31,080 --> 02:21:33,480
Speaker 3: would continue to change the way people view Las Vegas

2594
02:21:33,520 --> 02:21:35,320
Speaker 3: as a city. I would want to make that investment

2595
02:21:35,680 --> 02:21:37,560
Speaker 3: as a casino owner just to help the way the

2596
02:21:37,640 --> 02:21:40,120
Speaker 3: city has seen. And also, by the way, bring in

2597
02:21:40,200 --> 02:21:42,200
Speaker 3: a bunch of people on Saturdays for these games. Like

2598
02:21:42,840 --> 02:21:45,760
Speaker 3: you get good there, you're gonna start getting consistently games

2599
02:21:45,760 --> 02:21:48,119
Speaker 3: against Michigan. They played Michigan last year, they played Notre

2600
02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:50,640
Speaker 3: Dame the last couple of years. Like those are big

2601
02:21:50,680 --> 02:21:52,320
Speaker 3: travel crowds that are gonna come to a legion to

2602
02:21:52,360 --> 02:21:52,840
Speaker 3: watch a game.

2603
02:21:53,200 --> 02:21:55,520
Speaker 2: That's a great point. It's a great point. Great business.

2604
02:21:55,800 --> 02:21:58,640
Speaker 2: That's a great business point. Right there. Hey, where the

2605
02:21:58,680 --> 02:22:01,960
Speaker 2: fellas hanging out. The big Brain's going to come join us,

2608
02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:16,119
Speaker 2: Fitz Anthony Gargano from the tairaq dot Com Studios fourth

2609
02:22:16,240 --> 02:22:24,920
Speaker 2: July weekend, and let's go to our man who takes

2610
02:22:24,959 --> 02:22:30,480
Speaker 2: a look at sports from a betting standpoint, the brain.

2611
02:22:31,600 --> 02:22:33,560
Speaker 2: Good morning, brain, I.

2612
02:22:33,640 --> 02:22:35,360
Speaker 11: Hope you had a great fourth my friend, how are

2613
02:22:35,400 --> 02:22:35,760
Speaker 11: you today?

2614
02:22:36,360 --> 02:22:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not as good as yours. I'm sure it was

2615
02:22:39,720 --> 02:22:44,359
Speaker 2: pretty boring and whatever, which is why we're talking about football.

2616
02:22:46,640 --> 02:22:49,000
Speaker 2: We all love this little exercise. We're doing it because

2617
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:53,280
Speaker 2: we're doing a whole thing of Hey, if you were

2618
02:22:53,320 --> 02:22:58,440
Speaker 2: a big recruited athlete, what schools would you want to

2619
02:22:58,480 --> 02:22:58,760
Speaker 2: go to?

2620
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:00,320
Speaker 11: Sport?

2621
02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:08,280
Speaker 2: Football with sport? Come on, man, you want sport, so

2622
02:23:09,040 --> 02:23:11,360
Speaker 2: fitz Gi give the brain you're three.

2623
02:23:12,160 --> 02:23:15,600
Speaker 3: Well, keep in mind, we weren't accounting for coaching or anything.

2624
02:23:15,680 --> 02:23:19,240
Speaker 3: This is just like the experience, the atmosphere, the ambiance,

2625
02:23:19,320 --> 02:23:23,800
Speaker 3: the tree around the program. So, after much heated debate,

2626
02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:26,760
Speaker 3: I ended up with l s U at number one.

2627
02:23:27,920 --> 02:23:30,600
Speaker 3: I ended up with a state at number two, and

2628
02:23:30,720 --> 02:23:32,960
Speaker 3: I ended up on miss at number three. There we go,

2629
02:23:33,120 --> 02:23:33,959
Speaker 3: that's how my list went.

2630
02:23:35,120 --> 02:23:40,720
Speaker 11: Oh my god, yeah, well I probably definite wouldn't have

2631
02:23:40,720 --> 02:23:48,760
Speaker 11: had number two on Thereic Anthony can attest to that. Well, well, listen,

2632
02:23:48,800 --> 02:23:50,640
Speaker 11: it's interesting because when you when you think about it,

2633
02:23:50,720 --> 02:23:54,520
Speaker 11: you're like, Okay, obviously, if you want like a great program,

2634
02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:55,400
Speaker 11: Ohio State.

2635
02:23:55,320 --> 02:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Would be there.

2636
02:23:55,760 --> 02:23:58,240
Speaker 11: But then you just come down to me, Okay, I'll

2637
02:23:58,600 --> 02:24:00,760
Speaker 11: take my stand them out of it. Do you want

2638
02:24:00,800 --> 02:24:03,960
Speaker 11: to be in a cold weather climate? If you're that

2639
02:24:04,200 --> 02:24:06,600
Speaker 11: kind of level player, would you rather play in the

2640
02:24:06,680 --> 02:24:09,400
Speaker 11: Southeast Conference where maybe the weather is a little or

2641
02:24:09,440 --> 02:24:12,600
Speaker 11: a lot warmer. To me, that would be like a

2642
02:24:12,720 --> 02:24:16,600
Speaker 11: decision that I think would be a you know, would

2643
02:24:16,680 --> 02:24:21,360
Speaker 11: be paramount to me potentially. But again, I could never

2644
02:24:21,480 --> 02:24:24,080
Speaker 11: go to Ohio said if I were to go to

2645
02:24:24,120 --> 02:24:25,000
Speaker 11: a cold weather school.

2646
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:26,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not just saying this.

2647
02:24:27,320 --> 02:24:31,120
Speaker 11: I again, Anthony lives or you know, Nose Area Law too,

2648
02:24:31,160 --> 02:24:33,199
Speaker 11: And I'm just biased because and there are a bunch.

2649
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:33,800
Speaker 2: Of the friends.

2650
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:35,920
Speaker 11: I lay Happy Valley very much, and it's a great

2651
02:24:36,440 --> 02:24:40,680
Speaker 11: collegiate atmosphere. That would have been to me about Ohio State,

2652
02:24:40,680 --> 02:24:44,360
Speaker 11: and obviously Michigan would be And then when I look

2653
02:24:44,400 --> 02:24:46,240
Speaker 11: at the SEC schools, I mean, I you know, I

2654
02:24:46,360 --> 02:24:49,560
Speaker 11: mean Alabama, I mean, I you know, talk about and experiment.

2655
02:24:49,600 --> 02:24:52,400
Speaker 11: It's like a tough factory and success and obviously the

2656
02:24:52,440 --> 02:24:56,040
Speaker 11: whole state rallies around the team. I know you probably

2657
02:24:56,040 --> 02:24:59,039
Speaker 11: think in the night games, depth Valley'd be a cool thing,

2658
02:24:59,120 --> 02:25:02,680
Speaker 11: and I get that, but I don't know it definitely,

2659
02:25:03,120 --> 02:25:04,840
Speaker 11: you know what's funny, I mean, Texas is such a

2660
02:25:04,879 --> 02:25:08,840
Speaker 11: hotbed for football. I think playing in the air could

2661
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:09,520
Speaker 11: be pretty cool too.

2662
02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:12,440
Speaker 3: But everyone Texas was high on our list too, Like

2663
02:25:12,520 --> 02:25:14,800
Speaker 3: Texas was definitely high on our list. And you know,

2664
02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:20,480
Speaker 3: Anthony mentioned, uh mentioned Penn State. For me, Penn State

2665
02:25:20,560 --> 02:25:21,800
Speaker 3: is such a pain in the ass to get to

2666
02:25:22,120 --> 02:25:24,200
Speaker 3: and there's such limited hotel rooms and it's hard to

2667
02:25:24,240 --> 02:25:26,360
Speaker 3: fly to and it's hard to drive to. Everything about

2668
02:25:26,400 --> 02:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Penn State's just it's a great atmosphere for a whiteout game,

2669
02:25:29,080 --> 02:25:32,200
Speaker 3: for sure, but weekend and week out, it's it's just

2670
02:25:32,280 --> 02:25:33,040
Speaker 3: painted blood to me.

2671
02:25:34,120 --> 02:25:36,600
Speaker 11: Well, okay, but you're talking two different things here, Like

2672
02:25:36,680 --> 02:25:38,600
Speaker 11: you're saying that if you were to like go to

2673
02:25:38,680 --> 02:25:40,720
Speaker 11: school there and you were a great athlete, right, like,

2674
02:25:40,800 --> 02:25:45,560
Speaker 11: you're actually as much right right. I mean, look, I

2675
02:25:45,600 --> 02:25:48,600
Speaker 11: don't know, I I hear what you're saying. I just

2676
02:25:49,720 --> 02:25:52,320
Speaker 11: I just really did enjoy that, you know, probably be

2677
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:55,400
Speaker 11: the Michigan probably in that campus, both to any campus.

2678
02:25:55,520 --> 02:25:58,080
Speaker 11: I just think it's a fun atmosphere and I think,

2679
02:25:58,240 --> 02:26:00,840
Speaker 11: you know, I I liked it quite a bit, but

2680
02:26:00,959 --> 02:26:02,520
Speaker 11: I hear what you're saying. There's all the things that

2681
02:26:02,600 --> 02:26:05,039
Speaker 11: go into it. I definitely would not pick a West

2682
02:26:05,080 --> 02:26:08,840
Speaker 11: Coast team because I just don't think they treat the sports.

2683
02:26:09,360 --> 02:26:12,480
Speaker 11: There is enough, you know, like in my opinion, like if.

2684
02:26:12,360 --> 02:26:14,200
Speaker 2: You only ask you this, let me ask you this,

2685
02:26:14,400 --> 02:26:19,480
Speaker 2: because I we had a battle over the PAC twelve,

2686
02:26:19,640 --> 02:26:23,160
Speaker 2: Like what was the PAC twelve for me? Right? So

2687
02:26:23,360 --> 02:26:29,160
Speaker 2: FITZI went Oregon and I went Southern cal Like, well, yeah, son,

2688
02:26:29,480 --> 02:26:31,320
Speaker 2: it's like that that is iconic.

2689
02:26:32,080 --> 02:26:32,840
Speaker 3: You know it is.

2690
02:26:33,120 --> 02:26:34,040
Speaker 2: Program it is.

2691
02:26:34,200 --> 02:26:36,800
Speaker 11: But I'm gonna usually I agree with you and almost all,

2692
02:26:37,120 --> 02:26:40,120
Speaker 11: but it is. But you know what it's like, it

2693
02:26:40,240 --> 02:26:42,240
Speaker 11: is iconic. It's like that is like a brand. It's

2694
02:26:42,280 --> 02:26:44,400
Speaker 11: a brand name. It's everything. But in my own head

2695
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:46,800
Speaker 11: and again i'd have to hope it out so to

2696
02:26:46,800 --> 02:26:48,320
Speaker 11: speak it, which is what I would do. I would

2697
02:26:48,320 --> 02:26:50,680
Speaker 11: actually really go. But I mean Oregon to me, you

2698
02:26:50,760 --> 02:26:53,000
Speaker 11: and you're in Oregon, it is you know, it is

2699
02:26:53,080 --> 02:26:55,560
Speaker 11: the University of Oregon when you're when you're there and

2700
02:26:55,959 --> 02:26:59,040
Speaker 11: I and I've only been there once, but them that way,

2701
02:26:59,640 --> 02:27:02,920
Speaker 11: the USC than me is more of a there's twenty

2702
02:27:02,959 --> 02:27:05,520
Speaker 11: million things going on in that area, and USC football

2703
02:27:05,600 --> 02:27:06,560
Speaker 11: is one of those twenty million.

2704
02:27:07,080 --> 02:27:08,680
Speaker 2: That's exactly's point.

2705
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said the same thing.

2706
02:27:11,400 --> 02:27:13,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, So, I mean again, not that it can't be

2707
02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:16,119
Speaker 11: great not listening. When they had the Reggie Bush Matt

2708
02:27:16,200 --> 02:27:18,480
Speaker 11: Lioner days, it was like the hip thing to do.

2709
02:27:18,640 --> 02:27:22,040
Speaker 11: But again, can they get back to that, you know,

2710
02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:25,200
Speaker 11: that way the way they were the vibe in college football?

2711
02:27:25,320 --> 02:27:28,440
Speaker 11: Maybe maybe, but I don't know. I think Oregon at

2712
02:27:28,520 --> 02:27:30,200
Speaker 11: least if you go there. I like it when you

2713
02:27:30,320 --> 02:27:33,280
Speaker 11: go to a school like That's why I loved you know,

2714
02:27:33,520 --> 02:27:35,920
Speaker 11: they have ever been ann Arbor like Anna michigant is

2715
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:38,160
Speaker 11: University of Michigan. Like there's no like that. That is

2716
02:27:38,680 --> 02:27:41,040
Speaker 11: that the school is the is the college, and like

2717
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:43,720
Speaker 11: the city is the college. So and I like that.

2718
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:46,080
Speaker 11: And I think if you went to Oregon, my guess

2719
02:27:46,160 --> 02:27:48,320
Speaker 11: is would kind of been that same kind of field

2720
02:27:48,360 --> 02:27:50,879
Speaker 11: versus going to USC, where I would feel like maybe

2721
02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:53,560
Speaker 11: like you get maybe lost in the shuffle potentially, But

2722
02:27:54,080 --> 02:27:56,000
Speaker 11: I don't know. But it's cool. It's pretty cool the

2723
02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:56,840
Speaker 11: bank you guys are having.

2724
02:27:57,320 --> 02:27:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. One of the one of the schools that

2725
02:27:59,160 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 2: we're talking about too, is like Nebraska you know, like.

2726
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:07,400
Speaker 11: That's another squad. Yeah, yeah, and you and that's trying Nebraska. Again.

2727
02:28:07,440 --> 02:28:10,000
Speaker 11: We just talked about Oregon. What I like about Nebraska

2728
02:28:10,080 --> 02:28:13,640
Speaker 11: would be obviously of the incredible tradition. But again I'm

2729
02:28:13,720 --> 02:28:17,279
Speaker 11: picturing that in my own head. In every single Saturday,

2730
02:28:17,920 --> 02:28:23,760
Speaker 11: every father, grandfather, you know, son is going to that

2731
02:28:23,920 --> 02:28:26,480
Speaker 11: game and like just going and that that is that

2732
02:28:26,760 --> 02:28:29,680
Speaker 11: is their week. That is everything to them and is

2733
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:33,440
Speaker 11: that Saturday football game in Nebraska in Lincoln. And I

2734
02:28:33,560 --> 02:28:37,039
Speaker 11: can't imagine a much more you know, fan base. It's

2735
02:28:37,040 --> 02:28:39,400
Speaker 11: gonna be more devoted than that. And I would think

2736
02:28:39,440 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 11: that'd be a part of it. Like you're kind of

2737
02:28:40,920 --> 02:28:43,560
Speaker 11: like truly are like a local hero if you're playing,

2738
02:28:43,760 --> 02:28:44,880
Speaker 11: especially if things are going well.

2739
02:28:46,280 --> 02:28:51,160
Speaker 2: That's the truth, all right, real quick, because you come

2740
02:28:51,240 --> 02:28:54,640
Speaker 2: on to give us selections and everything else. I got

2741
02:28:54,720 --> 02:28:59,160
Speaker 2: one college football question. Did you play any conference?

2742
02:29:00,240 --> 02:29:00,360
Speaker 4: Uh?

2743
02:29:00,640 --> 02:29:03,960
Speaker 2: To win the conference? Plays? You know?

2744
02:29:04,800 --> 02:29:07,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't. I really haven't. I've done a few

2745
02:29:07,600 --> 02:29:11,320
Speaker 11: old runners. I haven't done as much in college football

2746
02:29:11,320 --> 02:29:15,080
Speaker 11: as I really probably should. Have a lot of reasons

2747
02:29:15,160 --> 02:29:18,080
Speaker 11: for that. I've been so focused on baseball and then

2748
02:29:18,120 --> 02:29:21,320
Speaker 11: the NBA when that was going on. But I have not.

2749
02:29:21,680 --> 02:29:24,000
Speaker 11: I will tell you again, I'm looking extremely forward to

2750
02:29:24,080 --> 02:29:28,199
Speaker 11: this year, the since that I think with the playoffs expanding,

2751
02:29:28,440 --> 02:29:30,959
Speaker 11: I think it's going to be you know, like something

2752
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:35,199
Speaker 11: that I'm extremely uh looking forward to, what excited about.

2753
02:29:35,560 --> 02:29:39,880
Speaker 11: But listen to the playoffs in terms of winning the conference,

2754
02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:44,240
Speaker 11: you know, I have some certain thoughts on things. But

2755
02:29:44,360 --> 02:29:47,160
Speaker 11: like again, I think a lot of states feel in

2756
02:29:47,240 --> 02:29:49,160
Speaker 11: the Big ten that's a really really good chance, but

2757
02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:51,960
Speaker 11: the odds are so thin it's just not you know,

2758
02:29:52,720 --> 02:29:56,480
Speaker 11: not appealing to me. And I haven't really found a

2759
02:29:56,560 --> 02:29:59,480
Speaker 11: team where I think the odds are we're taking like

2760
02:29:59,560 --> 02:30:02,240
Speaker 11: the Big All for example, this year, that to me

2761
02:30:02,360 --> 02:30:06,959
Speaker 11: is a more wide open conference because you know, it's

2762
02:30:07,080 --> 02:30:10,440
Speaker 11: just you've lost teams and there's no team that really

2763
02:30:10,480 --> 02:30:14,200
Speaker 11: stands out. Utah is the favorite, and I'm not so

2764
02:30:14,320 --> 02:30:15,960
Speaker 11: sure if it's going to be Utah. So that the

2765
02:30:16,040 --> 02:30:17,760
Speaker 11: comments I've been looking at to see if I can

2766
02:30:18,520 --> 02:30:21,760
Speaker 11: find something that I think is a good guy, because

2767
02:30:21,800 --> 02:30:23,760
Speaker 11: all the teams are getting a nice price in that

2768
02:30:23,920 --> 02:30:26,160
Speaker 11: conference and I'm not looking to tie up my money

2769
02:30:26,240 --> 02:30:29,800
Speaker 11: for you know, for five months for like a plus

2770
02:30:29,879 --> 02:30:30,760
Speaker 11: one to fifty payout.

2771
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:33,680
Speaker 3: When is the right time to make it play in

2772
02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:35,440
Speaker 3: college football now.

2773
02:30:35,920 --> 02:30:38,240
Speaker 11: No, no, no, it is now. I mean it is now.

2774
02:30:38,360 --> 02:30:40,800
Speaker 11: It's just it's just been time issues for me because

2775
02:30:40,800 --> 02:30:44,040
Speaker 11: I study the stuff like so much and I haven't

2776
02:30:44,240 --> 02:30:48,879
Speaker 11: had the time to put in between my travel schedule

2777
02:30:49,080 --> 02:30:52,520
Speaker 11: and just doing you know, with the daily grind of

2778
02:30:52,600 --> 02:30:55,840
Speaker 11: doing the baseball and the basketball which just ended. I

2779
02:30:56,000 --> 02:30:58,800
Speaker 11: just I just never I'm not trying to complain, I

2780
02:30:58,879 --> 02:31:01,040
Speaker 11: just never really get a day off. So it's like

2781
02:31:01,120 --> 02:31:04,080
Speaker 11: I'm always doing something every day and studying every day

2782
02:31:04,160 --> 02:31:06,600
Speaker 11: for hours and hours those days. I get that I

2783
02:31:06,680 --> 02:31:08,320
Speaker 11: have to look, I have to make the prime and

2784
02:31:08,440 --> 02:31:11,800
Speaker 11: I will and I'll get there. But yeah, I mean

2785
02:31:12,080 --> 02:31:14,119
Speaker 11: the answer is now, because now you know, you want

2786
02:31:14,120 --> 02:31:15,640
Speaker 11: to do it as soon as possible, because if you're

2787
02:31:15,959 --> 02:31:18,680
Speaker 11: head of the curve that see, you'll get the best line.

2788
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:21,920
Speaker 11: These things never go if you're sharp, they never go

2789
02:31:22,040 --> 02:31:24,360
Speaker 11: against you, these lines they always go for you. So

2790
02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:27,080
Speaker 11: you want to be you know what, a day ahead.

2791
02:31:27,120 --> 02:31:30,039
Speaker 11: In addition, you want to shop. If one sports book

2792
02:31:30,080 --> 02:31:32,040
Speaker 11: has plus three fifty on something, if you shop it,

2793
02:31:32,400 --> 02:31:34,080
Speaker 11: you may be able to get like a plus four

2794
02:31:34,200 --> 02:31:36,680
Speaker 11: hundred like the six Ers the other when they spoke

2795
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:39,600
Speaker 11: to Anthony like they were twelve to one, ten to one,

2796
02:31:39,640 --> 02:31:41,920
Speaker 11: twelve to one, thirteen to one. One sportsbook at eighteen

2797
02:31:41,920 --> 02:31:44,600
Speaker 11: to one on them won the title. And you know

2798
02:31:45,040 --> 02:31:47,960
Speaker 11: that's a massive difference. And you know, if you have

2799
02:31:48,080 --> 02:31:49,600
Speaker 11: that eighteen to one in your pocket right now, you're

2800
02:31:49,640 --> 02:31:50,800
Speaker 11: sitting here, you're pretty happy.

2801
02:31:51,520 --> 02:31:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this does you Paul George, I remember we

2802
02:31:53,440 --> 02:31:54,720
Speaker 2: thought that that was going to happen.

2803
02:31:55,160 --> 02:31:58,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, I know you Anthony called that on a show,

2804
02:31:58,400 --> 02:32:02,040
Speaker 11: like specifically said this is this really should happen. I'm like,

2805
02:32:02,120 --> 02:32:05,280
Speaker 11: it should happen. You're like, yeah, should happen. So, yeah,

2806
02:32:05,320 --> 02:32:07,760
Speaker 11: you nailed that, and obviously is you know, as a

2807
02:32:08,040 --> 02:32:11,119
Speaker 11: Sixer guy, I mean excited about that. Hopefully the Sixers

2808
02:32:11,200 --> 02:32:14,040
Speaker 11: can you know, I'll give people a future that I

2809
02:32:14,200 --> 02:32:17,400
Speaker 11: that I just like what this team's done. I did

2810
02:32:17,440 --> 02:32:20,040
Speaker 11: bet okay see plus four sixty to win the West

2811
02:32:20,400 --> 02:32:23,480
Speaker 11: because I think the East with Boston being a behemoth

2812
02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:28,640
Speaker 11: in New York and Philadelphia theoretically improving in theoretically Milwaukee

2813
02:32:28,720 --> 02:32:31,000
Speaker 11: another year to maybe get healthy and didn't have Yannis

2814
02:32:31,080 --> 02:32:33,080
Speaker 11: in the playoffs. I didn't I wanted to avoid some

2815
02:32:33,160 --> 02:32:35,480
Speaker 11: of those these teams, so I liked Okay, see, I

2816
02:32:35,560 --> 02:32:38,000
Speaker 11: love getting Caruso for Giddy and couldn't play getting in

2817
02:32:38,040 --> 02:32:41,520
Speaker 11: the playoffs. Cruso the work in case on walls because

2818
02:32:41,520 --> 02:32:44,000
Speaker 11: in three elite premier defenders and I like getting I

2819
02:32:44,080 --> 02:32:46,360
Speaker 11: think they overpaid him, but that's okay. I like getting

2820
02:32:46,680 --> 02:32:49,560
Speaker 11: Isay Hartenstein. They were the worst rebounding team in the NBA,

2821
02:32:49,720 --> 02:32:51,959
Speaker 11: or one of them getting him, I think that's going

2822
02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:54,600
Speaker 11: to be a really, you know, really most talented team

2823
02:32:54,600 --> 02:32:56,760
Speaker 11: in the NBA in my opinion right now, even had a.

2824
02:32:56,760 --> 02:33:01,480
Speaker 2: Boss, and I think I like it. Eddie plays for

2825
02:33:01,600 --> 02:33:02,039
Speaker 2: us all.

2826
02:33:01,879 --> 02:33:03,480
Speaker 11: Oh, I got all. I got a lot for you today,

2827
02:33:03,520 --> 02:33:06,040
Speaker 11: my friend, I got a lot for you. Let's I'll

2828
02:33:06,080 --> 02:33:08,800
Speaker 11: give it you A Brandon fat Arizona Cardinals, I'm sorry,

2829
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:12,360
Speaker 11: Arizona Fires Cardinals, Arizona Diamonbacks over three and a half strikeouts,

2830
02:33:12,680 --> 02:33:14,959
Speaker 11: pretty juicy. Was like minus at the hour of sixty

2831
02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:17,560
Speaker 11: five area. But he's fourteen. Bring that over and he's

2832
02:33:17,600 --> 02:33:21,920
Speaker 11: averaging five and a half strikeouts. Puped matchup against the Padres,

2833
02:33:21,959 --> 02:33:23,760
Speaker 11: whore the hardest team of strikeout, but I still would

2834
02:33:23,760 --> 02:33:25,360
Speaker 11: have made it four and a half. I wouldn't adopt

2835
02:33:25,400 --> 02:33:27,760
Speaker 11: him too. Strikeouts only would have docked them one. I mean,

2836
02:33:27,760 --> 02:33:29,600
Speaker 11: he's thirty two and nine the last three years. I

2837
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:32,920
Speaker 11: liked his over Todz Bradley eight and two or five

2838
02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:36,240
Speaker 11: and a half strikeout. His k rate this year ninety

2839
02:33:36,320 --> 02:33:40,080
Speaker 11: percent tile, ninety percent tile. He's averaging over seven strikeout.

2840
02:33:40,200 --> 02:33:41,280
Speaker 11: I would have clearly had that.

2841
02:33:41,320 --> 02:33:42,000
Speaker 2: At six and a half.

2842
02:33:42,040 --> 02:33:45,560
Speaker 11: Anthony, you Anthony here is going. You'll relate to Ranger

2843
02:33:45,560 --> 02:33:48,360
Speaker 11: as far as hadn't been mentioned great recently. But I

2844
02:33:48,440 --> 02:33:49,879
Speaker 11: still think it should have been five and a half.

2845
02:33:50,080 --> 02:33:52,000
Speaker 11: They made his over under for strikeouts four and a half,

2846
02:33:52,280 --> 02:33:55,000
Speaker 11: eleven and sixty over the Braves actually do strikeout. He's

2847
02:33:55,000 --> 02:33:57,640
Speaker 11: averaging six strikeouts game. I would have had it at

2848
02:33:57,680 --> 02:34:00,680
Speaker 11: five and a half. Hunter Brown been one of the

2849
02:34:00,720 --> 02:34:04,360
Speaker 11: hottest pitchers in the sport thirteen and one his last

2850
02:34:04,360 --> 02:34:07,200
Speaker 11: fourteen five and a half hits. I love the way

2851
02:34:07,240 --> 02:34:10,160
Speaker 11: he's pitching right now. He's probably been the last fourteen

2852
02:34:10,200 --> 02:34:12,000
Speaker 11: s as good as any pitcher in the American League.

2853
02:34:12,400 --> 02:34:14,840
Speaker 11: Give me that underfront hits and I'll give you a

2854
02:34:14,920 --> 02:34:18,320
Speaker 11: couple of straight games. Like even though it's in course field,

2855
02:34:18,400 --> 02:34:20,400
Speaker 11: I like the Royals laying a half run on the

2856
02:34:20,440 --> 02:34:23,240
Speaker 11: five inning lines A little over Austin gomber Love has

2857
02:34:23,280 --> 02:34:25,640
Speaker 11: been dominant all year because you don't like taking games

2858
02:34:25,680 --> 02:34:28,039
Speaker 11: in quarters field. But the price was solo. You only

2859
02:34:28,080 --> 02:34:30,880
Speaker 11: have to lay about a dollar ten dollars fifteen. I

2860
02:34:30,959 --> 02:34:34,800
Speaker 11: thought it was worth doing. Garrett Crochet, who's been again

2861
02:34:34,920 --> 02:34:38,439
Speaker 11: one of the best pitchers in baseball, going against Yanni Cheronos.

2862
02:34:38,680 --> 02:34:41,080
Speaker 11: I like Crochet in the five inning line again, laying

2863
02:34:41,120 --> 02:34:43,840
Speaker 11: a half run. Crochet filing to pitch five or six

2864
02:34:43,920 --> 02:34:47,000
Speaker 11: innings won no part of the White Sox after that.

2865
02:34:47,480 --> 02:34:49,920
Speaker 11: Shareron nos Is probably gets up more hits printing than

2866
02:34:49,920 --> 02:34:53,120
Speaker 11: they won in Major League Baseball. All lay half run there,

2867
02:34:53,200 --> 02:34:55,359
Speaker 11: basically even money and take my chances.

2868
02:34:56,000 --> 02:34:58,840
Speaker 2: I like it, man, great stop. As always, people want

02:35:33,080 --> 02:35:37,480
Speaker 2: wanted to make this a kind of an oh to

2878
02:35:37,560 --> 02:35:40,960
Speaker 2: college football, really, a reason why, a reason to talk

2879
02:35:41,080 --> 02:35:47,480
Speaker 2: about all the different cultures of college football, like the towns.

2880
02:35:47,520 --> 02:35:51,800
Speaker 2: That's why we went from you know, conference to conference

2881
02:35:51,959 --> 02:35:55,000
Speaker 2: conference is to kind of talk about it like it

2882
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:57,560
Speaker 2: was a good way. It's a good way. Now we

2883
02:35:57,800 --> 02:36:03,240
Speaker 2: decided to do more college football then dive into you know,

2884
02:36:04,240 --> 02:36:06,800
Speaker 2: baseball or NBA deadline. I think you kind of are

2885
02:36:07,000 --> 02:36:11,640
Speaker 2: a the NBA free agency and where it's at. And listen,

2886
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:17,040
Speaker 2: I think the NBA the free agent the movement was good,

2887
02:36:17,120 --> 02:36:19,959
Speaker 2: and it was the East. I love what the Knicks did.

2888
02:36:20,720 --> 02:36:23,400
Speaker 2: I think the Knicks are great. I mean, I'm a

2889
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:27,160
Speaker 2: Sixer man, so I appreciate Paul George coming. I think

2890
02:36:27,640 --> 02:36:29,640
Speaker 2: that gives them some hope. I think the East is

2891
02:36:29,840 --> 02:36:34,039
Speaker 2: just nasty right, Boston's still coming back strong. I think

2892
02:36:34,080 --> 02:36:38,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks are clearly unportunity of the Sixers. Milwaukee are good.

2893
02:36:39,360 --> 02:36:41,680
Speaker 2: So I look at it and like, I think, wow,

2894
02:36:41,720 --> 02:36:46,360
Speaker 2: it's that's pretty interesting. But ultimately, you know, I think Fitz,

2895
02:36:46,680 --> 02:36:48,880
Speaker 2: we kind of are both on the same phage here

2896
02:36:49,680 --> 02:36:53,440
Speaker 2: that we're we can't wait until football begins and this

2897
02:36:53,800 --> 02:36:57,080
Speaker 2: college football game is going to drop coming up in

2898
02:36:57,120 --> 02:36:58,800
Speaker 2: the next two weeks is a big deal.

2899
02:36:59,640 --> 02:37:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's be real for a second. Most people right

2900
02:37:02,760 --> 02:37:05,440
Speaker 3: now are not clamoring for anything that's happening in Major

2901
02:37:05,480 --> 02:37:10,120
Speaker 3: League Baseball. The meltdown of the Yankees is interesting, but

2902
02:37:10,840 --> 02:37:14,480
Speaker 3: it doesn't let if we're being honest, In about two weeks,

2903
02:37:14,640 --> 02:37:17,040
Speaker 3: training camps are gonna kick off for the NFL, and

2904
02:37:17,120 --> 02:37:20,959
Speaker 3: when training camps kick off, we'll be talking more about

2905
02:37:21,160 --> 02:37:24,480
Speaker 3: practices and underwear than we will about actual games happening

2906
02:37:24,520 --> 02:37:25,200
Speaker 3: in other sports.

2907
02:37:25,400 --> 02:37:28,520
Speaker 4: Like that's just that's what happens. And look, I love

2908
02:37:28,600 --> 02:37:29,519
Speaker 4: the concept.

2909
02:37:29,160 --> 02:37:32,080
Speaker 3: Of NBA free agency being this thing that is a

2910
02:37:32,120 --> 02:37:34,480
Speaker 3: difference maker and a world changer in all of these things,

2911
02:37:34,560 --> 02:37:38,400
Speaker 3: but it's just the way we cover the NBA. Hell,

2912
02:37:38,480 --> 02:37:40,840
Speaker 3: the regular season doesn't even matter. If a team this

2913
02:37:40,959 --> 02:37:43,800
Speaker 3: year goes undefeated in the regular season, we wouldn't care

2914
02:37:43,800 --> 02:37:45,560
Speaker 3: because we'll still sit there and say, yeah, I gotta

2915
02:37:45,600 --> 02:37:47,000
Speaker 3: do it in the playoffs. You gotta see if they

2916
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:49,560
Speaker 3: could take down the Celtics. See inevitability of the way

2917
02:37:49,600 --> 02:37:52,640
Speaker 3: we cover it. So we've essentially decided as a society

2918
02:37:52,720 --> 02:37:55,200
Speaker 3: that the only time that really matters that the whole

2919
02:37:55,240 --> 02:37:58,760
Speaker 3: world needs pay attention to. The NBA is May and June,

2920
02:37:59,040 --> 02:38:01,400
Speaker 3: right like, so once you get to this spot of

2921
02:38:01,480 --> 02:38:04,400
Speaker 3: the season, the free agency moves are nice, Like it's

2922
02:38:04,440 --> 02:38:06,920
Speaker 3: a good move, Paul George going. I thought of you

2923
02:38:06,959 --> 02:38:08,560
Speaker 3: when it happened, and I thought, you know, that's really

2924
02:38:08,600 --> 02:38:10,920
Speaker 3: cool for Philly. Do I think that that suddenly changes

2925
02:38:10,959 --> 02:38:13,520
Speaker 3: the entire landscape of the NBA. No, that's just not

2926
02:38:13,600 --> 02:38:15,680
Speaker 3: the way the league is built right now. So yeah,

2927
02:38:15,800 --> 02:38:18,200
Speaker 3: like we're all sitting here ten days away from or

2928
02:38:18,280 --> 02:38:21,240
Speaker 3: so from a video game release. There really is just

2929
02:38:21,320 --> 02:38:24,160
Speaker 3: about being excited for football season around the corner.

2930
02:38:25,200 --> 02:38:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the problem to the other sports. Like

2931
02:38:29,040 --> 02:38:31,480
Speaker 2: I love baseball, I do. I love it, you know,

2932
02:38:31,800 --> 02:38:36,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing fifteen nos. But in reality, you know,

2933
02:38:37,200 --> 02:38:43,640
Speaker 2: baseball is all about the macro. It's about streaks and wins. Away.

2934
02:38:43,680 --> 02:38:46,720
Speaker 2: The Yankees are We're at best team in baseball, and

2935
02:38:46,800 --> 02:38:48,320
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden they're five and fifteen the

2936
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:51,040
Speaker 2: worst team. And it all evens out, like who you

2937
02:38:51,160 --> 02:38:54,960
Speaker 2: are evens out over the long stretch and barring like

2938
02:38:55,200 --> 02:38:58,440
Speaker 2: dramatic injuries, I mean, you know, it's it'll start to

2939
02:38:58,480 --> 02:39:02,680
Speaker 2: heat up and take shape in September. The storylines I

2940
02:39:02,760 --> 02:39:06,240
Speaker 2: think are interesting, but not to the point of you

2941
02:39:06,360 --> 02:39:09,640
Speaker 2: know what we're talking about with football, And that's why

2942
02:39:09,760 --> 02:39:13,520
Speaker 2: it specially with college football this year going to another

2943
02:39:13,720 --> 02:39:17,000
Speaker 2: level with the playoffs, I just think it takes over.

2944
02:39:18,040 --> 02:39:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be the craziest year in college

2945
02:39:20,040 --> 02:39:23,160
Speaker 3: football history. And we get into the playoff situation, when

2946
02:39:23,200 --> 02:39:25,840
Speaker 3: we start to see what expectations really look like. Are

2947
02:39:25,879 --> 02:39:28,000
Speaker 3: there programs that are just happy getting to the playoffs

2948
02:39:28,080 --> 02:39:29,920
Speaker 3: or do they have to advance in the playoffs, We're

2949
02:39:29,920 --> 02:39:32,039
Speaker 3: going to start to see so many different conversations we've

2950
02:39:32,120 --> 02:39:35,119
Speaker 3: never had before. This is an unprecedented year in college football.

2951
02:39:35,879 --> 02:39:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean just figuring about you know, how it's

2952
02:39:39,520 --> 02:39:42,040
Speaker 2: going to all play out. I Mean the one thing

2953
02:39:42,080 --> 02:39:45,560
Speaker 2: I am venally against is talking about the NCAA tournament,

2954
02:39:45,640 --> 02:39:50,320
Speaker 2: the basketball tournament, that that's going to increase. I don't

2955
02:39:50,400 --> 02:39:51,200
Speaker 2: like that a little bit.

2956
02:39:52,200 --> 02:39:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's already gotten out of control, but

2957
02:39:55,000 --> 02:39:57,000
Speaker 3: it's inevitable. It feels like they're just going to keep

2958
02:39:57,040 --> 02:39:58,920
Speaker 3: adding because what money can be made that way?

2959
02:39:59,480 --> 02:40:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but the football needed to need in it, right,

2960
02:40:03,360 --> 02:40:06,960
Speaker 2: like football that you need in it. Man, that's what

2961
02:40:07,080 --> 02:40:10,320
Speaker 2: it had to be. That stuff. I'll tell you it was.

2962
