23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: a song or two. Give me a soundtrack. Usually I

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: like the nat sound, as they say, but it's good

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: walk in music. Sometimes, just maybe after he goes down

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: for the night, I'll go for a walk in the neighborhood.

27

00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. We have broken the seal

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: on August. As we get a little bit closer to

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: whatever this season is going to look like, we do

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: have some news on that front that we're going to

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: get through. Also, of note, we put out the call

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: earlier that we wanted to take your questions again. It's August.

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: We generally do one or two of these shows, these

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: Q and A type shows per month, and now that

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: we are getting seemingly closer to a season, it's time

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: for us to do previews. Mister Rubinstein, Yeah, we are approaching.

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that time, but it's not an

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: annual time that we do this, So yeah, it appears

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: that it's time for us to do so. I'm very

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: excited to dive in the Big twelve is where we're

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: starting in the Big twelve. As we're recording this later

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: in the week we were recording this early on, they're

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: going to announce more schedule specifics, so we'll be armed

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: with more data to talk about what Brock Purdy has

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: in front of him, or what Sam Ellinger has in

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: front of him, or Keyante Ingram is running into stuff

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm excited. I am too.

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: It feels good to actually go in and do a

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: deep dive on some of these teams, so I'm excited.

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: That'll be on Friday that show drops, We're going to

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: start previews, and each of the next what four or

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: five shows after that will also be previews as we

56
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: build towards again, whatever format this season takes on, we

57
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: will be with you, cheering loudly, hoping that.

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: It stays safe and that it's fun. Voice is going up.

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Got to raise the register here, Dan. It's been a

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: long off season and still an uncertain one at that. Yeah,

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: and I'm excited because obviously timing is pretty variable. We

62
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: are going to have opportunities as we increase the rate

63
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: with which we record to maybe update some previews. A

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: quarterback wins the job, somebody gets hurt, a coach gets fired,

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: another schedule adjustment happens, So we're leaving ourselves some wiggle

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: room given the revised scheduling as it stands August third,

67
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: today's a third word.

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: This is going to drop on the fifth, so they

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: could call the whole damn thing off by the time

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: the show drops.

71
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's actually good that we make that

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: clear because a lot of news drops every hour right now,

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: be it with players uniting and taking stands and asking

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: a conference for a us min's to how student athletes

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: quote unquote are treated, or with how schedules are revised,

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: or anything coaches made all that they should be. Come on,

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: come on, come on, it's just clear that we're recording

78
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: this Monday, August third. That's all. Also going out to

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: Solid verbal dot com slash store and buy the new shirt,

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: the techmost Solid Verbal I believe is what you called it. Yeah,

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: it's the welcome screen to Techmost super Bowl, the greatest

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: video game ever made. And man, maybe one of the

83
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: NC double a's was better. There was a version of

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: NC double A that licensed a bunch of music I

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: want to say, like NC double A nine eight Somewhere

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: in there oh seven, like Dala Soul was on there.

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,040

00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: of Oh yeah, that was a fun version. That was

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: a fun version of NC double A. So other than that,

90
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: I am very partial to a lot of my childhood

Speaker 1: and techmos super Bowl, and so we we dedicated the

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: theme of the shirt to that. So it's that sort

93
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: of welcome screen and space for some reason, and very soft.

94

00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: sound bite?

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: Real quick?

123
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: Do? An Instagram user asked us Cajun truffle oil or

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: regular tots slash fries? Which is the best that comes

125
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: to us from qvho that has come in? Tie do?

126
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I should be a little bit alarmed that we're almost

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: at like fifty to fifty? Hey what five running backs

128
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: you're most looking forward to watching? And hey, what would

129
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: you call chicken wings that are named after you? Guys

130
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: type questions. My answer is basically, anytime I see a

131
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Cajun seasoning option, I roll with it and it rarely

132
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: steers me in the wrong direction.

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, let's get to the actual news here.

134
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: So you mentioned this at the top, but some news

135
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: towards the latter half of the week last week and

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: then materialized a little bit more over the weekend. PAC

137
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: twelve football players are showing unity. They are listing demands

138
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: in a letter to the conference. The group from multiple

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: schools they pend a letter. It showed up in the

140
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: player's tribune, threatening to opt out of fall camp and

141
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: game participation unless their demands for fair treatment, safety regulations,

142
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: and concerns over racial justice for college athletes are met

143
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: by the conference. The letter is signed by players of

144
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve that uses the hashtag we are united

145
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: to explain their concerns, saying quote, because NCAA exploits college

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: athletes physically, economically, academically, and also disproportionately harms black college

147
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: athletes hashtag we are you and I had dis garnered

148
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: a lot of attention over the last few days. Very

149
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: interested to see where this all goes to what end

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve and member schools are able to meet

151
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: some of these demands. I will say that they waited

152
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: for the right time to cash in their bargaining chip

153
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: because right now, with things as uncertain as they are

154
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: in and around the world of college football, if you've

155
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: got a workforce quote unquote workforce that just decides, ah,

156
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: we're good, that would really put things in a bind.

157
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: So I admire the timing of this for sure.

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely no, the organization, the timing, the messaging in

159
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: large part, and one of the things I think gets

160
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: overlooked a little bit, this is a negotiation. The grander

161
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: group of college athletes as a whole don't have representation,

162
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: so they've banded together in the way that I guess

163
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: Packed twelve football players can, and that I think it

164
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: started on Group me, started with some Cal football players

165
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and branched out from there. A lot of pretty well

166
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: known Packed twelve players were on board with this and

167
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: shared the messaging yesterday on social media, so it certainly

168
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: garnered a lot of attention. But yeah, between the health stuff,

169
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: which all made sense, all of the concerns about safety

170
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,479
Speaker 1: protocols and health insurance after playing, nothing really all that unreasonable.

171
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Just a tricky situation. Perhaps with some of the revenue

172
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: ass I think there was an ask for about fifty

173
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: percent of revenue to be distributed to players and dipping

174
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: into endowments, which is more complicated since endowments are earmarked

175
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: for specific things by the people giving the money to save.

176
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: And we saw Stanford cancel a number of Olympic sports.

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: The social justice, the racial justice stuff all was it

178
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: just seemed like a no brainer. Let's listen to pe,

179
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Let's create scholarships for low income people more, let's have

180
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: a more open conversation, more due process. All of these

181
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: things from a human level all seem like very reasonable,

182
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: thoughtful asks. One of the I wouldn't say problems is

183
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: just the revenue thing is tough because college football is

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: built on not handling revenue all that responsibly as it

185
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: relates to other similar professionalized sports. And so the understanding

186
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: I have is it's the beginning of a negotiation. How

187
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: can we help to distribute revenue with those who help

188
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: to generate it. And I think that is a reasonable conversation,

189
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: a reasonable ask, And the hope is that things evolve

190
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: from a human perspective. You see a lot of people

191
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: and this is the straw man argument, come out, whether

192
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: they're in the media, whether they're fans in general. And

193
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it's a bad faith place I

194
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: think people like the sport for different reasons, and they

195
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: see say, scholarships and room and board as well. I

196
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: didn't get that they should be lucky that they get that.

197
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to open the can

198
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: of worms thing about what college ball players do and

199
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: don't have, but it's clear this season is largely happening

200
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: for revenue purposes. And the revenue right even a question

201
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: that football helps to generate and helps to garner. So

202
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: if that's the case, these players have even more leverage

203
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: than usual. And we saw I think it was a

204
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: top Washington corner Elijah Molden. He shared something and I

205
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: thought it was very thoughtful. And then Trevor Lawrence, who

206
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: might be the highest profile college football player on the

207
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: planet right now, he shared what Elijah Molden had to say.

208
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: So it seems like you're never going to really get

209
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: change without a ton of buy in from big names

210
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: with big platforms, and that's what we're seeing more and more.

211
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: So I found it to be fascinating. I really hope

212
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: for their sake because and this is I think I

213
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: can speak for you, but I can definitely speak for myself.

214
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: My favorite thing about college football is watching college football

215
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: players play college football. So anything that is college football

216
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: player forward, I'm in favor of. That's my favorite. It's

217
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: my literal favorite part, with grilled Mexican food coming shortly thereafter. Yeah,

218
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: and truly it is the next frontier, Yeah, in college football,

219
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: the players finding their collective voice about this or something else.

220
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: We saw it with the nil legislation, which at some

221
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: point will dive a little bit more into. Yeah, this

222
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: is the next frontier. Where do you see this going realistically?

223
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: And is it something that you could see getting worked

224
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: out or having a like a beta agreement before? I

225
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: think it's fall Camp. I think it's the beta agreement.

226
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: One of their specific asks was for some sort of

227
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: task force to help with some of the racial injustice

228
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: topics that were voice in this letter. That strikes me

229
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: as a quick win, something that can be organized very

230
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: quickly and can have great effect. There are other things

231
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: here that are more systemic, right, Like the whole financial

232
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: model here is a big deal, right, Yeah, that's a

233
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: system upon which the entire sport is built. It's going

234
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: to take a while to work through the details on

235
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 2: that front, but I think if we can get some

236
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: sort of buy in from member institutions that they're going

237
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 2: to work with this group of players. That's where I

238
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: would expect this to go next.

239
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely, And there are a number of smart

240
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: people you can follow on this on social media. I

241
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: saw Michael Felder, who's terrific. I think he's I don't

242
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: know if he's Michael Felder in the bleachers on Twitter,

243
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: but we've been following him forever. He played defensive back

244
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: at North Carolina and mentioned the facilities thing. Why do

245
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: exorbitant and beautiful facilities exist. Well, it's sort of a

246
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: recruiting arms race. It's to keep players in the facility,

247
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: watching film, being around other players, buying in and not

248
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: necessarily becoming full college students. And it's even more recruiting.

249
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: It's even more recruiting. And so one of the things

250
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: that the players in the PAC twelve United statement made

251
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: was we're spending so much money on everything but the

252
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: people on the field. And so that's the interesting thing

253
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: to me is how this changes the bottom line and

254
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: the spreadsheets across the sport, Because what a Texas spreadsheet,

255
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: what an Ohio State spreadsheet looks like, is not what

256
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: a Mountain Union spreadsheet looks like. Is not what a

257
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Texas track and field spreadsheet looks like. So it's fascinating

258
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: to see if this gets at least there's an incremental

259
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: change that happens in the next month or so before

260
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: the season starts.

261
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: All right, So to pivot off of that, Washington State

262
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: head football coach Nick Rolovich tells wide receiver Cassidy Woods

263
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: that joining the Unity group, the one we just discussed,

264
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: would create now quote an issue. Now, Cassidy Woods called

265
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: to inform Nick Rolovich that he was going to opt

266
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: out of the season. He's got sickle cell trade. He

267
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: would be at an enhanced risk obviously for the coronavirus.

268
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: No big deal on that front, right, Rolovich told Woods,

269
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: No big deal, no problem there. What he would have

270
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: a problem with is if he opted to be part

271
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: of the Unity movement, the group that we just discussed,

272
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: the ones that are threatening to opt out this season.

273
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: If the PAC twelve does not meet a series of demands. Quote,

274
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: that's going to be an issue if you align with them.

275
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: As far as future stuff, Rolovich said, according to the

276
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: Dallas Morning News, quote the COVID stuff is one thing,

277
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: but joining this group, it's going to be different. If

278
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: you say I'm opting out because of COVID and health

279
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: and safety. I'm good, but this group is going to

280
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: change how things go in the future for everybody, at

281
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: least at our school.

282
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: End quote.

283
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: That's a really bad look there. Perhaps there is more

284
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: context that will come out that will make it look better,

285
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: but call on its face, I'm trying to give folks

286
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt, but it's hard on its face.

287
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: That is certainly not a good look for the new

288
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: head football coach at Washington State.

289
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Mister Rolovic. Yeah, I'm trying to look at this from

290
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: all perspectives. But the call was recorded. There is a

291
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: transcript to the call. It's not a terrific look for

292
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Nick Rolovich, especially since he hasn't coached a single game

293
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: or a full spring practice session or full fall camp.

294
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: He is brand new, and the most important thing if

295
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: you if you asked any coach about is what is

296
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: the most important thing when you become a new coach.

297
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: It's generally you got to win over the locker room

298
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: and get buy in. You got to get everybody believing

299
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: in you, believing in your vision, believing in you as

300
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: a human and how you are going to day to day.

301
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Take this program from A to B and ah, it's rough.

302
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: It is absolutely rough to start your tenure. Oh and

303
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: not in Nikrolovitch's defense, but I can see that Nikrolovich

304
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: is saying, Okay, I need buying. If somebody's opting out,

305
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't want them at practices. I don't want them

306
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room. If they're opting out for health reasons,

307
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: it's for the best that they're not there, perhaps distracting

308
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: or just sort of on the sidelines.

309
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: By the way, Nicole our back our friend, shortly after

310
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: some of this news broke on Twitter that no, no,

311
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: this is because of him opting out. He has to leave,

312
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: he can't practice. That's part of the rules. And more

313
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: came out after that, the transcript, the recording of the call, etc.

314
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: And that sort of puts us where we're at right now.

315
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: It seems like when we hear about coaches sort of

316
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: making fools of themselves or the optics are that a

317
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: coach has made a fool of himself, it seems like

318
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: he is not there for his players and he's there

319
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: for him and he's there to be a football coach.

320
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: And even if that is more true than not, it

321
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: seems like the best coaches in this situation, and I've

322
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: heard about conversations that have happened on multiple campuses. It

323
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: seems like the best coaches say to their players, Hey,

324
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: I really I'm interested by the stuff you put out.

325
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know I have your

326
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: back and anything that I can do to clarify anything

327
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: to be there for you, Send me a text, give

328
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: me a call. Here's my number. Nick Rolovitch saying we

329
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: may need you to clear out your locker. It probably

330
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: could have been handled. It definitely could have been handled better.

331
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: And it's and I think it was Beaumonti Jones who

332
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: said this that Washington State's already a very difficult place

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: to recruit too. It is not a traditional college and

334
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: college football program that recruits top level talent. It is

335
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: not near any big high school talent bases. And so

336
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: for Nick Rolovich, without having coached a game, to give

337
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: himself this to self inflict this sort of reputation about

338
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: not having his players backs and not being able to

339
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: convey what he's trying to convey in a mature, leadery way,

340
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what his long term

341
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: future looks like. Because it's got to convince parents on

342
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: the road that you're there for your sucks, bad luck.

343
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: And how many people knew buck? How many people knew

344
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: his name before yesterday? I know how many? I know

345
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: how many West Virginia fans, how many Miami fans, how

346
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: many Texas Tech fans? How many Wisconsin fans knew Nick

347
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: rolovich name before yesterday? And now they know his name? Okay?

348
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: Staying with the PAC twelve been a busy news cycle

349
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: out West. They approved on Friday a ten game conference

350
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: only slate for football. We don't have to spend a

351
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: whole lot of time on this one. We do have

352
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions that we want to get to.

353
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: But ten game schedule, conference only beginning on September the

354
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, with quote a lot of built in flexibility.

355
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: Each team's going to play five home, five road games.

356
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: The PAC twelve championship will be played at one of

357
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: the home sites. It's not going to be played in

358
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Vegas the higher ranked Yeah, the higher ranked home team

359
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: either on December eighteenth or nineteenth, they worked out some

360
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: sort of deal where they're going to start the Vegas

361
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: game next year, and then games that can't be played

362
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: on their scheduled dates are going to be made up

363
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: in one of the bye weeks or in Week twelve,

364
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: which is the December the twelfth. So you know, whether

365
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: they could pull it off or not is the operative question.

366
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: And as we speak, as I think you said at

367
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: the top, the Big twelve, trying to work towards their

368
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: own model, trying to get some agreement there. There's also

369
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: one yeah, yeah, there's also a big NCAA Board of

370
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: Governors meeting that's going to drop on Tuesday. So perhaps

371
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff will be irrelevant by the

372
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: time folks listen on Wednesday morning. But that is a

373
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: state of play right now. The only other thing that

374
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: I'll add here this is just a follow up to

375
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: a story that we discussed on the last show about

376
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley from Virginia Tech the prize defensive back opting

377
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: out going to focus on the draft. Remember lost a

378
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: parent two years ago, didn't want to run that risk

379
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: with another. He also adds that because of Virginia Tech's

380
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: rudimentary and or non existent health and safety protocols that

381
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: contributed to his decision as well. Quote this year at

382
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech at our workouts. I started having deep concerns

383
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: about staying healthy. Guys are going home, going to Myrtle Beach,

384
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: coming back up to campus. We weren't getting tested. We're

385
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: all together, working out close to each other. One day

386
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: I looked around. We were like one hundred deep in

387
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: our indoor facility, no masks. My concern grew more and more. Yeah,

388
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: and I don't fault players. I mean, I don't faull

389
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley. I don't even fault players for being in

390
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: a large group without mass. I mean, yes, they're at fault,

391
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: But it's the responsibility of the grown ups in the

392
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: room to be very clear about protocol, to be very clear,

393
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: like we're not wearing masks, we're not working out. If

394
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: we're not working out, we're not playing. It's very strange

395
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: to me. I think I just came into this with

396
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: the assumption that, like, oh, all of these major college

397
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: football programs have the means to convey protocol that anytime

398
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: you're inside, you wearing a mask, anytime you're practicing, this

399
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: is what we're doing anytime. This is how we clean

400
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: up after practice, is how we're dealing with footballs and

401
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: goalposts or whatever. I guess we're not really touching goalposts

402
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: all that much. But for a place like Virginia Tech,

403
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: if this is true, which I have no reason to believe,

404
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: it isn't kind of shocking. No, I can understand a

405
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: tiny school really having trouble keeping up with whether it's

406
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: a money thing, whether it's a supply thing, a testing thing, whatever.

407
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech makes a lot of money, They're an ACC school,

408
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: They've played in recent huge Bowl games. And if they're

409
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: not able to get their messaging to their players, I

410
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: imagine they're not the only school. I hope they are,

411
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: because that's extremely worrisome if they are, but or if

412
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: they're not. But man, this is this is rough. This

413
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: is this is a I totally get where Caleb Farley's

414
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: coming from.

415
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 2: We'll see if there are other players, we'll see which

416
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: direction this al goes. But adding a little bit more

417
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: insight to his decision, that's all we have for now.

418
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: There could be more news by the time this breaks.

419
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: That is sort of the way it goes in the

420
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: world of podcasting.

421
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: We did get a bunch of questions. Would you like

422
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: to get to those? Yeah, let's get to those. Congratulations, Skippy,

423
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: you've got mail. You've got mail on the solid verubal

424
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: generally speaking to about once a month. M hmm. We

425
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: like to pay homage.

426
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: Let's pay homage to the people that write in soliverbal

427
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: at gmail dot com, tell us on Instagram, on Twitter,

428
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: on Facebook, Uh juno.

429
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know however, you get the stuff to us,

430
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: We do our best to read it good. We received

431
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic question here from Eric. He writes in the

432
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: email and says, guys, I was wondering if you can

433
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: help settle a bet something we've done in the past.

434
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: End Oh, I've seen any reason we can't do it. Here.

435
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, a friend and I made a little

436
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: wager basically, will Notre Dame join a football conference before

437
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six? We were no more specific. That's more

438
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: or less the exact wording. We obviously did not anticipate

439
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: this situation. So should Notre Dame quote unquote joining the

440
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: ACC for this season count? That is? Americ Dan, how

441
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: do you feel? I don'ts bet? Would you count it?

442
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know the language that they used. If it's

443
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: simply will Notre Dame football join a conference before twenty

444
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: twenty six? Notre Dame has joined the ACC before twenty

445
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: twenty six. If the wording of the bet is not,

446
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: will Notre Dame become a full time memory of a conference?

447
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Might be different? That's semantics, right, But the fact is

448
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is playing an ACC schedule, is eligible for

449
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: the ACC Championship game? And how many non ACC opponents

450
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: is Notre Dame going to play this year? Uh? Maybe one?

451
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: If things think well, I think I think probably zero

452
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: maybe one, which is no different than any other ACC team.

453
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: So I think Notre Dame's an ACC team. I think

454
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is an ACC team if there is say

455
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: full time membership.

456
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, if there is no legally binding contract containing specific language.

457
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: If you're being very vague and broad, right, Eric, I

458
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: think you got to pay out the bet. I don't

459
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: know which side of this bet you took, mind you,

460
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: but I think it counts. I think it has to count, right.

461
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Do you think we got a question on Instagram?

462
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Do you think it's you know, more likely that Notre

463
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Dame and other independent school's army by you are our

464
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: big notable ones? You know? Is aremy going to join

465
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: the American if they ask them to is b why

466
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: you're going to join the Big twelve or are they going

467
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: to go back to the Mountain West if they're asked to.

468
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Do you think this unique earth situation makes it such

469
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: that that could happen? I don't know what the output is.

470
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

471
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 2: I could certainly make a case for it. Here's what

472
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: I do think. I do think that the sport is

473
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: fundamentally going to be changed moving forward. Yeah, in many

474
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: ways that we probably can't predict. But Notre Dame getting

475
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: this exposure hopping into the acc if only out of

476
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: necessity for one football season, one shortened football season. There

477
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: will be some output from that experience that they will

478
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: find valuable. The whole thing still may not outweigh.

479
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: You're such an it guy. There's going to be output, Well,

480
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: there will be. There will be something that comes to Wait,

481
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking outcomes, but yeah, an outcome, sure, outputs

482
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: and outcomes. Yeah, there will be some thing that comes

483
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: from this that I wholeheartedly expect they will be very

484
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: happy about. Will it be enough to sway them from

485
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: independence a culture that has permeated Notre Dame for decades?

486
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: You know, probably not in the short term. I think

487
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: what I do think though, I hate when I get

488
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: permeated by culture.

489
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: Are you listen, If you're not making Front of the

490
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: Globe tomatoes, you're making fun of the permeation.

491
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: It's a culture that has permeated Notre Dame for decades. Okay, sorry, scoundrel.

492
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Well back back to the serious topic of this man,

493
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: if I could for a second.

494
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: I talked about how we're recording this on a Monday.

495
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: There's a board of governors meeting on Tuesday in the NCAA.

496
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how it relates to Notre Dame or

497
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: BYU or army.

498
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: But if the Board of Governors decides that they're going

499
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: to cancel the fall Championships, but the Power five somehow

500
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: finds some way to weasel a season out of the

501
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty calendar year, that to me would be the

502
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: first like major major schism between the Power Five the

503
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: nc DOUBLEA, and it could signify maybe cracks in the foundation,

504
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 2: maybe point a little bit more towards that break with

505
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: one from the other that we talked about with Richard Johnson,

506
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: Like could the Power five decide that it's sort of

507
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: quasi going to break away from the NCAA and run

508
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: football on its own.

509
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it already sort of does. The NCAA is just

510
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: there for enforcement and eligibility stuff. But in terms of

511
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: a postseason, in terms of TV deals and exposure, and

512
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: the conferences aligning to sort of govern everything else, they

513
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: already kind of had. And I saw people talking about this.

514
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: The NCUBLEA answers to its member schools, so anything new

515
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: that Power five schools would form would be an entity

516
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: that answers to Power five schools, which is not all

517
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: that different from the nc DOUBLEA just has a shiny

518
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: new polish. The way that the college Football Playoff is

519
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: run by Hutai BCS people, it is indeed Bill is

520
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: indeed Bill right. So yes, I could see in regard

521
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: to this Instagram question, I could see these schools becoming

522
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: parts of conferences, but only because I think a lot's

523
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: going to change with the sport in the next year

524
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: or two, because of whatever it is, PAC twelve players,

525
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: whatever it is, players becoming more vocal and revenues becoming

526
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: more obviously in need of a little bit more redistribution.

527
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: I think things are going to change now. Notre Dame

528
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: has the cachet to go about things independently because they

529
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: are that quote unquote national brand. I'm not doubting it.

530
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: I just like quoting national brand, and then they can

531
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: negotiate a TV dealer on their own. I don't think

532
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: there's a national TV deal available for BYU and Army

533
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: in the same way on network TV that there is

534
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. But I think it's interesting. I think

535
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting because we're going to see at some point,

536
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: whenever it is, TV contracts come up in various conferences.

537
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: I think gradual reorganization around the reality that college football

538
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: has in a lot of ways outgrown college. Yeah, and

539
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: look no further than our current situation to really highlight

540
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: the weakness in the system, right yeah, yeah.

541
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: Jason writes in if the college football season does not

542
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: happen at all this year, which teams benefit the most,

543
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: which suffer the most? Consider players in coming outgoing lost momentum,

544
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: coaches aging, coaches getting another year when maybe they don't

545
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: deserve it, et cetera, et cetera. Show your work.

546
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: I like the end of that. This is this is

547
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: a Clayhilton question, right, yes, this is the cla This

548
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: is how Clay Hilton stays at USC until twenty twenty five.

549
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: What is your answer? Obviously, Clay Helton is a short

550
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: term winner. He doesn't have to play Alabama. He's given

551
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: more time to sort of get the USC program in order.

552
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: From a coaching in personnel and general infrastructure standpoint, and

553
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: coaches like Clay Hilton, who you know, have been hanging

554
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: on whoever that coach is, whoever. You know, a coach

555
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: maybe coming off of an uncharacteristic bad twenty nineteen that's

556
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: going to go farther and farther into the rear view mirror,

557
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, like a Dino Babers at Syracuse, somebody who

558
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: followed up a pretty exciting year with a disappointing one,

559
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, not all that challenging conference that. You know,

560
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald probably a big winner, you know that even

561
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: though Northwestern isn't a huge, huge national name, Northwestern had

562
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: a pretty terrible year. David Shaw pretty big winner. We're not,

563
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about Stanford's disappointing twenty nineteen as much

564
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: so from an optics standpoint, teams like that from a

565
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: coach's aging further, I don't know if there's an obvious

566
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: answer there. I mean, there's no reason to think Nick

567
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Saban's retiring because of age. At this point, there's you know,

568
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: now Alabama's still getting it done momentum wise. Maybe, I

569
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: think schools that have a lot of obvious first round,

570
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: second round picks who are either not going to play

571
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: because the season isn't happening, or opt out because they

572
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: don't want to take that chance. High State, Clemson schools

573
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: like that that I think have a lot like, you know.

574
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: If there is no season and you know, I don't

575
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: know what that means for players like ian Book or

576
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: in ian Book's type of situation.

577
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: It puts schools like.

578
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: Notre Dame in a bind where you've got maybe that

579
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 2: returning quarterback and who knows what the eligibility thing is,

580
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 2: Maybe he wants to take a run at the NFL

581
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: for so, I mean, who knows you're in Book?

582
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course it strikes me as but you're really

583
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: coming at me today, You're just is my presence permeating

584
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: your takes? The snarkiness is permeating the show. Sorry.

585
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: I feel for the group of five schools. I think

586
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: they're the big losers, certainly in the Power five. It's

587
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: uh going to put you in a bit of a

588
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: state of financial ruin. That's the oppositor to me.

589
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Schools who have recruited really really well recent and can

590
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: absorb the loss of newly eligible to the NFL for

591
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft players, Your traditional powers, you know, may

592
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: perhaps coaches in year two who have put together their

593
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: first real recruiting cycle and so they have their players

594
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: in the system and have more time to get to

595
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: know their players and you know, strengths and weaknesses if

596
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: there's able to be practiced in some way. I also

597
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: think big losers are new coaches, because new coaches are

598
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: desperate to see what they have with their players and

599
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: to see what the new school is like, and just

600
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: to to get out on the field and make sense

601
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: of everything in either a year zero or a year

602
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: one situation. Those are, you know, Mike Norvell at Florida State.

603
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: I was going to say, yeah, yeah, let yeah, all

604
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: these guys, those are those are big losers who are

605
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: and it's champing at the bed I learned, But you

606
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: can also say chomping at the bed to just know

607
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: what they have, know what it's like to be a

608
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: head coach for these guys. Those are those are some

609
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: pretty big losers there This is a fun question.

610
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: It's from Dan, and then beneath Dan is one from Dave.

611
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: So we've got Dan and Dave coming back to back here.

612
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: Shout out rebox, shout out?

613
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: Is it?

614
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: Dan klobash? All right, I don't know, Dan, it is?

615
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: It is. I'm telling you it is.

616
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: If there is spring football, how will we designate the

617
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one spring and fall seasons? Twenty one A

618
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: and twenty one B, twenty twenty one and twenty twenty

619
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: one Dash two Judgment season twenty one A New Hope

620
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: in twenty one, the season Strikes Back twenty twenty one,

621
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: Excellent Adventure in twenty twenty one Bogus Journey.

622
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: This is a fantic question. Yeah, it's I mean, it's

623
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: just going to be Spring twenty one, Fall twenty one.

624
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a semester type thing I would imagine,

625
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: So I would say twenty twenty one spring semester, Fall semester.

626
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: But let's get creative with this, Dan, you know, like

627
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: you've done the acc fatlantic m hmm. We've come up

628
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 2: with great names like Duke of Hazzard, Alan Wizard. Right,

629
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 2: there's a creative outfit here.

630
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: Spring forward fall back. I was thinking something like that,

631
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: got to incorporate the spring in the fall. Yeah, I

632
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: think daylight savings is a sham. We've all watched VEEP.

633
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: We know. Sure. Okay, so you're talking spring and fall

634
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: seasons and how we go about I mean spring break.

635
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: What is a good idiom with fall? By the way,

636
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: if we have a season, you're in this fall break too. Yeah,

637
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: there is a fall break. But if we have a

638
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: season in the spring and it ends after six weeks,

639
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: that's a spring break. B R A k E. Because

640
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: pcast tie right, I'll give it some more thought. You

641
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: can let us know how. It's weird. It's hard to

642
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: imagine they'd have a spring, a full spring, and a

643
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: full fall season. It's hard to imagine they would say, yeah,

644
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to play to some teams. I

645
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: don't twenty eight games, twenty nine games in twenty that's

646
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot to ask. That's a lot to ask guys

647
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: to just take a summer off and not have a

648
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: full offseason. And what that does to recruiting and official

649
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: visits and signing classes. I don't know. I think it's

650
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: if anything is going to happen. I think it'll be

651
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: an attempted fall season. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen,

652
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: and then they're going to try again in August of

653
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: next year if they really feel good about like a

654
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: Banger's only five game schedule in April May, I can

655
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: understand having five and then a full season in the fall.

656
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: Beyond that it's too far to ass Then you're going

657
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: to see a lot more PAC twelve Players United, ACC

658
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: Players United, Mountain West Players United. All that's going to

659
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: start up to really come into play. I mean, we

660
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 1: saw what happened when what the NFL tried to add

661
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: one more game and what the players union push back on.

662
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: So and I understand why they didn't want her two

663
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: more games. Whatever, I think it's gonna get pretty dicey,

664
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: all right, So we don't I'll think on names till

665
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: got to think on this. We'll put this out there,

666
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: maybe on social media. That'd be a good one. Dave,

667
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: staying with the subject of playing games in the spring,

668
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: could we get a non traditional champion if they even

669
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: have a playoff or BCS style champion. This is an

670
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: interesting question to me.

671
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: Dan, you know it's not likely it's the same teams

672
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: playing most of the same teams, right, they're just confining

673
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: it a little bit more to conference. But I'll harken

674
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: back to something I said on the last show. Without

675
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: the non conference games, typically you would use those just

676
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: to get a check on where teams are relative to

677
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: one another. It's much tougher to compare conferences if you

678
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: don't have the non conference games. So without that, in

679
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 2: lieu of that, again, it is Barry Alvarez or people

680
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: like Barry Alvarez in a room arguing about it, and

681
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: that to me seems like a great recipe for some

682
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: weird stuff to happen. Now, it is going to be

683
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: tough to leave the big guns out, the Clemsons and

684
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: the Ohio States and certainly the Oklahomas, right.

685
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: But it stands to reason.

686
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: I think if it were going to happen at all,

687
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: and if we were going to have a weird like

688
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: odd ball team that works their way into the playoff,

689
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: this would sort of be the year that it would

690
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: happen because everything that we'll have to go on will

691
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: be much more of a limited sample size.

692
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: What if hear me out, what if we in the

693
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: way that there are different cups right in European Soccer.

694
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: There are different tournaments and even though you didn't win

695
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: the Champions League, you won euro or FA or what right,

696
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: So what if any way that we've ever determined a

697
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: national champion is brought back, And especially if there's no

698
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: college football playoff and the season just ends after conference

699
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: championship games and we have three ten and zero teams

700
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: and two nine and one teams, and then in the

701
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: G five level we've got a couple undefeated teams and

702
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: it's like wow, I mean, this is the American was

703
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: really tough this year. This you know, Houston has to

704
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: be given consideration. ECU has to be considered given consideration.

705
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Whatever I think we have a BCS champion, I think

706
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: we have we don't have a college Yeah, let's call

707
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: it a college football national College fotball playoff national champion.

708
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: That's just determined by the playoff committee. There's no actual playoff.

709
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: It's just a playoff committee champion. There is a college

710
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: coalition champ. So whoever would have won the Orange Bowl

711
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: or something that year. There is every single way that

712
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's an AP champion, there's a coaches champion,

713
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: every single way. Everything has to be fully transparent, and

714
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: we just have like seven national champions. Seven national champions. Wow, yeah,

715
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: all right, why not? I mean, it's it's such a weird,

716
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: like to just say, Okay, Alabama or Georgia or Ohio

717
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: State went undefeated and they had the best margin of

718
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: victory and it was clear that, you know, they were

719
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: a class above in a way that no other team

720
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: was a class above. They're the national champion as boring, Ty,

721
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I don't like that at all.

722
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: So I I'd like it to be uh, sort of

723
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: more up in the air. I think that's the way

724
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: to go, because it's such an up in the air season,

725
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: you might as well make the national champion.

726
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 2: Weird Patrick, Who are your top five running backs going

727
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty season?

728
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: Hm? Question? I did some resun for this, Ty, so

729
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: did I.

730
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: Travis Etn is my alpha. A close second is Chewba Hubbard.

731
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: After that, I have a little bit more trouble. After that,

732
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: I start looking at guys like Kennedy Brooks.

733
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: I start looking at your boys. CJ. Verdell, my boy,

734
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: Jerny Brown's the name I wrote down, Yeah, Kylon Hill,

735
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: I have Hawkins from He's pretty good. I have Najie Harris,

736
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: I have Kante Ingram performed well against good teams, Jerry

737
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and eally Ole miss now So certainly wasn't a workhorse

738
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: last year. But the best of Jerry and Eely was

739
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: really strong. It's a good I mean, I don't like

740
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: putting freshmen on this level yet. We'll see what happens.

741
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: At Georgia was Amir White, who's finally hopefully healthy. Man.

742
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: This will be I feel like I'm generally more excited

743
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: about a returning CJ. Verdell was good and had some

744
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: really nice long runs, but also some more inconsistent play

745
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: earlier on in the season. Mostly I think Stanford and

746
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: Auburn were not great. But yeah, I don't feel like

747
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm as excited about the running back class going into

748
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: the season as I normally am. I don't know, Maybe

749
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm forgetting a lot of guys. We'll see

750
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: Trace sarmon Ohio State, Yep, yep, Arbone.

751
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: I am not that excited about the quarterback class. To

752
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I'm okay with the quarterback class.

753
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 2: We had Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence.

754
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: There. It all starts with Chase Garber's for you.

755
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: Sure, then after Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence, who's like

756
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: your third best quarterback in college football?

757
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: Oh? McHale, obviously, what are you talking about.

758
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 2: That's a question, who's your third best quarterback? Mckail Cunningham,

759
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: that's your answer? It might be I like mckail cunningham.

760
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: Excuse me, nothing but really good?

761
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: No. I think it's a fascinating here. So okay, here's

762
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: why it's fascinating. So we've seen a lot of very

763
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: very good sam Ellinger and seen some unfortunate sam Ellinger.

764
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: But we know him, We're familiar with him. We know

765
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: what the Sam Ellinger experience is about, and I'm happy

766
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: to have another year with it. Maybe not all Texas

767
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: fans are with some of his not his fun game.

768
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: I think he's underrated. Spencer Ratler is exciting to me

769
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: because he should. We've seen Oklahoma track record. He should

770
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: have a good year.

771
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, mister permeation, Wait a set. Okay, the

772
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: question was about top five running backsh and.

773
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: I shifted it to like top whatever quarter I'm Spencer

774
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Rattler in that I'm not saying I'm saying I'm more

775
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: excited about the quarterbacks in the twenty twenty season. I'm

776
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: not saying these are my top five, but I'm saying,

777
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: as a general rule, the running backs that we know

778
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: about and potentially we're going to see step into a

779
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: bigger role. It's there are some years where quarterbacks are

780
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: not that interesting. I think with what's happening at big school.

781
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: So you have Mac Jones and Bryce Young at Alabama,

782
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: so a more veteran, steady hand and then the promising freshman.

783
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: We've seen that situation with Alabama before. Recently, Clemson's all set,

784
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State's all set. But Oregon Joe Morehead, Tyler Shuck

785
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: I think is interesting. Washington is wide open. Chase Garber's

786
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody on the West Coast that talks about

787
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: back twelve football will say, well, he's never lost a

788
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: game that he played all of in twenty nineteen. The city,

789
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, Keaton Slovas I think is probably worthy of

790
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks in the country consideration. I think so, Yeah,

791
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Yeah, I think across the

792
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: sport there's I think there's more intrigue than there is

793
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: proven and reliable. But it's interesting to me and in

794
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: normally yours in normal years, when you've got that kind

795
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: of uncertainty at the quarterback position, you get some wild results. Yeah,

796
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: truely absolutely.

797
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, and so I I sort of

798
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: share your curiosity around the quarterback position. But in terms

799
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 2: of like guys that we could really hang our hat

800
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: on outside of Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence, maybe Sam

801
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: Howell and Keaton Slovas Sam Ellinger, like outside of a

802
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: very small select group, there really is a lot of

803
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: uncertainty there.

804
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Hat hanging is overrated. Wild cards, Tie, wild that's underrated.

805
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: All right, give me some non football. We got time

806
00:44:55,160 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: for like three or four? Uh wow, Okay, So this

807
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be selfish about this one, both because I

808
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: think there's people are either in their homes and they're

809
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: just really making the most of their time at home

810
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: during this time, or perhaps there's some movement happening, you know,

811
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: you're moving closer to family during this time or whatever.

812
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: So Tie, specifically, this is a question from Tyler, and

813
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: it's probably for you. Tips for moving to a new

814
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: house beyond hydrating and stretching, which are both very important,

815
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: I would say maybe maybe take Adville ahead of time

816
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: before you move pieces of heavy furniture. Ty, I'm about

817
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: to move into a rental house. Yeah, you recently purchased

818
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: a house and moved in from not that far away.

819
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: If you had to give everybody listening tips about what

820
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: to do when moving into a new house, both the

821
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: physical move and what you should do once you're already settled,

822
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: what would they be As for the physical move?

823
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: If you can afford to get movers. Oh yeah, if

824
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 2: you can afford to get movers, that's a pro.

825
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Tip right there. Okay, I appreciate that we have. You

826
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: do have movers. We do excellent.

827
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 2: So that's a huge relief right there. The second thing

828
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: that I would say moving into a new house is

829
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: get intimately familiar with some of the di y YouTube tutorials.

830
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: Oh good, call.

831
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: I have learned more about amateur plumbing odds and ends

832
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 2: around the house. Have really tried to stay away from

833
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: the electrical, but most other stuff. YouTube has been a godsend.

834
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: What did you have to buy the most of because

835
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: you moved in from like a townhouse situation to a

836
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: full on house an foa I did? Yeah, what were

837
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: the big purchases early on? Well, the big purchases.

838
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 2: Is that we we needed we we didn't we didn't

839
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: have enough furniture because we moved into a bigger place

840
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, yeah, we we had some empty

841
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: rooms here, so trying to figure out what goes where

842
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: and how some of our old stuff would fit in

843
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: with the new place. That that led to a lot

844
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: of furniture purchases.

845
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: Your big arm R guy me huge arm or guy.

846
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: You know that about everybody knows that. About timebody knows that, pa,

847
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: and it's on my Twitter bio.

848
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I The furniture thing kind of caught me

849
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: off guard, and so yeah, I would say if you

850
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: do the movers, do the movers. Otherwise, get get familiar

851
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: with the YouTube DIY section and uh, you know, be

852
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 2: prepared to try out some new stuff. Don't do anything

853
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: crazy like try to fix your own garage door. I

854
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: tried that and almost killed my stone.

855
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: Don't do that. That sounds dumb.

856
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: Don't don't try that. There's a lot of tension there.

857
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: Please don't try that. But as for things like amateur.

858
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: Plumbing and you know, just play it by your and

859
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: don't overextend yourself if it looks too difficult. Do you

860
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: have like a checklist of when, especially because I'm living

861
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: in cold weather, which like when valves need to be

862
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: looked at, making sure water hasn't gone into a basement,

863
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: making sure pipes don't freeze. Do you have a checklist?

864
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: You're like, Oh, it's getting a little cold. I have

865
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,479
Speaker 1: to do like a a once over of the old house,

866
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: ARU and stuff like that. Well, we have the heating

867
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: and cooling guy who comes twice a year, okay, and

868
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: that's on a schedule as long as you pay your bill, right, Okay,

869
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: No big deal there. Most of the other stuff is

870
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: sort of as you need it, okay, and sometimes it's

871
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: not always apparent when you need it. That's something that

872
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: I think you'll learn as to you as you get

873
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: a house. But I got to get a grill that

874
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: ideally has a gas line hook up. I don't know

875
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: if you have a recommendation. And I'm speaking to both

876
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: of you and anybody listening. I don't need a huge grill.

877
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: It's just me and solid wife Jody with an eye. Sorry,

878
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: Kate's solid wife. It's just me Jody with an eye

879
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: and the solid a toddler. But don't need a huge one.

880
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: Don't need a smoker, but it'd be nice to have

881
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: a quality one that that gets hot, can can make

882
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,959
Speaker 1: all sorts of meats and vegetables on it. That'd be great.

883
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: Got some patio furniture coming, Yeah, we could talk. We

884
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: can talk about this, all right. I was excited. I

885
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,959
Speaker 1: need a Pellett girl, tie, What do I need? Pellet grill?

886
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: Gotta get gotta get a gas grill. Man. Well, I

887
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: guess if I'm getting natural gas line girl, I don't

888
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: need a pellet girl. But yeah, all right, I figure

889
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: that out. So yeah, I'm gonna pre Advil. I think

890
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 1: that's big Advil. Not a sponsor, but heavy usage. Next question,

891
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: James says, when you close your eyes and say the

892
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: phrase college football Saturday, Yeah, college football Saturday, what do

893
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: you visualize? Uh? Right now? Is how you're interpreting this.

894
00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: I guess so more missed moments bea of child care,

895
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: which is fine, love the solid toddler, but that's different.

896
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: And I suppose more room because I'll be in a

897
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: house college football Saturday. When I close my eyes, I

898
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: feel that Crisp bear. Did you mount your TVs? By

899
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: the way, No, I didn't have you ever mounted a TV?

900
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: I have?

901
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could help you with that. Did you do it? So?

902
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the actual process. I have a

903
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: sixty five inch TV. I don't know, it's probably ways

904
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: forty pounds or so. Did you do it solo? Did

905
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: you do it with the help of a friend? Did

906
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: you hire somebody to do it for you? No? I

907
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: did it with the help of a friend. Okay, that's

908
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: what that's my gut. Yeah. Yeah, but you could do

909
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: it with Jody with it eye, you just know a

910
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: couple pro tips for how to get that thing mounted. Okay,

911
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: the brackets are already there, so that that part's that

912
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: You're fine? Oh okay, then you're fine. Done? All right, Dan,

913

916
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: So which one? If you'd rather eat truffle oil, Cajun

917
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: seasoning solo or tots and fries. Would you prefer a

918

Speaker 1: truffle oil on a tot or fry cajun?

919
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,560

00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 2: you know what truffle oil is I have no idea

921
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: Cajun seasoning.

922
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: Truffles are similar to mushrooms. I know that, but I've

923
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: never had truffle oil. I think you have. So you're

924
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: saying Cajun season what fries are tots? I'll do tots same.

925
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. Okay, let's go to another question.

926
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: Got at we got actually have a bunch of good ones.

927
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: You want to go to Brandon Cavanaugh? Sure, I'm gonna

928
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to revise his question because I don't know

929
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: enough college football players personally and about their personalities as much.

930
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: Let's say a documentary is being put together about how

931
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: college football players are training, slash live their lives during

932
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Name five current players you'd like to see

933
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: profiled in a documentary. I'm going to revise this tie.

934
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: If you could pick any one position to have a

935
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: different player playing that position at five different schools profiled.

936
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: What position on the football you know you want five quarterbacks?

937
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: Do you want a documentary following around quarterbacks? I feel

938
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: like that's been done so many times. I say definitely not. Yeah,

939
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going to self aware largely, and they're trying

940
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: to just have good pr about them.

941
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: Give me wide receivers. Wide receivers, you get a pretty

942
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: good spectrum. You'll get the short like jitterbug types like

943
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: ron Dale.

944
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: Moore who can do everything. You'll get the big dogs. Yeah,

945
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: but is he a good documentary fodder? Is he funny dishes?

946
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: Is he funny friends? I don't know that about any

947
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: of these guys, do you right? You know, I think

948
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: these guys wide receivers. I think there's a natural confidence

949
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: to a lot of wide receivers. Sure, and you have

950
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: to have a self assured nature you're going across the middle,

951
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's right. I think my answer

952
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: is probably going to be either offensive tackle or defensive tackle,

953
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: because those dudes they're both valued because they play incredibly

954
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: important positions. So there's going to be a certain degree

955
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: of confidence and self assuredness to them as well. But

956
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: also they're navigating a world that they're not necessarily built

957
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: to because they're huge. You know, the college apartments aren't

958
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: necessarily built for huge dudes, and so I think a

959
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: lot of them have to develop a sense of humor

960
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: about themselves. So I'm going to go with with the

961
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: large men here. A lot of eating I think I

962
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go. Ty, I'll go wide out.

963
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 2: Give me ron Dale Moore, Tyland Wallace for show Bateman,

964
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: I'm on rass Saint Brown.

965
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: And Chris Olave. I have no idea if that would

966
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: be interesting, but thank you. I'm just going large dudes,

967
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: Large dudes. Two more questions here from the non I

968
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: mean I liked watching Marvin Wilson. I think Marvin Wilson

969
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: be my list. You see Martin Wilson be fun? Yeah,

970
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: he'd be fun. Any other question? Oh, this one. I

971
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: thought it's it's a football question, but I thought it

972
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: was fascinating. Ty, we can end with a football question.

973
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: Surprise on topic question from the Rexologist. Then, if you

974
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: saw via Twitter, I believe on sports Wars shout out

975
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: sports Wars available via Wondering, you spoke about how one

976
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma's biggest moments in the Texas Oklahoma rivalry was

977
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: when they started getting recruits from Texas for other cross

978
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 1: state rivalries. What does a more quote program foundation event

979
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: look like? And this person says the bias would be Minnesota,

980
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin with any is good? So what what do you

981
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: just in general? What to you has swung shifted program

982
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: success level. What are those big moments that you know,

983
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma recruiting Texas players and building in roads in Texas

984
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. What to you and I

985
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: don't you don't need to be specific, but what sorts

986
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: of events permeate successfully growing programs.

987
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: Non conference matchups something that we will likely be without

988
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 2: this year, that exposure.

989
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: But do you think, like one, yeah, I guess in

990
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: the case of Boise State, that's true that they raise

991
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: their profile to such a crazy degree with you know,

992
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: Georgia and Virginia Tech and Oregon.

993
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: I think non conference matchups can play a part. I

994
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 2: certainly think the postseason can play a part as well,

995
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 2: even though those games maybe don't mean as much if

996
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 2: you're not in the playoff for one of the big

997
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: Bowl games. But you know, you're really ultimately talking about exposure.

998
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 2: What can get you exposure, what can put you on

999
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: the map, And if you take down a giant, I think,

1000
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: I think that's a seminal moment, that's an important thing.

1001
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 2: So I would throw that in there as well. I

1002
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: would also add, you know, I know it's probably not

1003
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 2: totally applicable for a school like an LSU or an

1004
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 2: Oregon because they are already among the most prominent college

1005
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 2: football programs. But if you can get like a sweet

1006
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: news hit about facilities or uniforms, just something that's novel

1007
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 2: and new and potentially very interesting to incoming recruits, I

1008
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: think that's interesting.

1009
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: That's a moment.

1010
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pr hit as opposed to like something

1011
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: that's earth shattering. But it's a tiny little moments like

1012
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 2: that that can eventually add up and make your program

1013
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 2: I think more appealing to some of.

1014
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: Those those top level recruits. Yeah, I think all those

1015
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: are right. I think systems become really important in terms

1016
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: of defining programs and raising profiles. We saw what happened

1017
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: with you know, Florida under Steve Spurrier, or you know

1018
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: the military academies running the option, and you know, it

1019
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: establishes a reputation, it establishes an identity. You know, if

1020
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to use an Oregon example, it's having a

1021
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: miracle season the way that Oregon did in nineteen ninety

1022
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: four where they go to the Rose Bowl. They eventually

1023
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: get spanked by Penn State, but that raised Oregon's profile

1024
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: and it got the attention of Phil Knight, built them

1025
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: an indoor practice facility after Mike Blotti was like, okay,

1026
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: what can we do? And then Nike became more involved

1027
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: with Oregon, and obviously the branding of the uniforms and

1028
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: the flashy style and the coaching hires that becomes big.

1029
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: I think continuity with coaches. You know, we still associate

1030
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Kansas State with Bill Snyder, right because he's recruiting junior

1031
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: college players. They're beating teams with more resources and it's

1032
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: just scrappy Little Manhattan, Kansas, Kansas State, you know, beating Giants,

1033
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: beating Oklahoma, beating Texas, and it's the continuity of a

1034
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: Bill Snyder program. We saw it with Bobby Bowden at

1035
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: Florida State and Joe Paterno at Penn State, where it's

1036
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, the identity is tied to these coaches,

1037
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: and you know what you're getting when you watch a

1038
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: Penn State team from the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties or

1039
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: a Florida State team in the nineties. I think conference

1040
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: membership becomes a pretty huge change for teams. You know what.

1041
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, Utah was considered to be and TCU was

1042
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: considered to be in West Virginia, and you know this

1043
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: movement around conferences I think is a pretty huge deal

1044
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: in terms of perception and identity and success in general,

1045
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: and so force of personality among coaches I think is big.

1046
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, Minnesota I think was in need probably of

1047
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: a reboot, and PJ. Fleck has done it so far.

1048
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: Really interesting, fascinating, successful job in Minneapolis. So I think

1049
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of a lot of it goes

1050
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: to coaches, but having those magical seasons. I think if

1051
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: you think about Northwestern football and what they did in

1052
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: the what mid nineties really has still to this day

1053
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: set the tone of Northwestern as like a scrappy, winning,

1054
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: well put together program, I think that's I think it's

1055
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, a lot is tied back to coaches, But

1056
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: when you have those singular events, like you talked about

1057
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: that big win, that big moment that you know, we're

1058
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: still talking about Boise State in two thousand and seven,

1059
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: We're still talking about, you know, the giant Killers and

1060
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: the trick plays of Boise State, those become seminal foundational

1061
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: moments that define a program sort of almost in perpetuity.

1062
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the Statue of Liberty play, I mean we

1063
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,479
Speaker 2: went back, we we talked about that.

1064
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: Game right, and it was ultimately a big old exhibition game.

1065
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: But Boise had been building to that moment for years

1066
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: and look, it was a great game. If it weren't

1067
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: such a great game, maybe we're not talking about it,

1068
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't have that kind of outsized impact all

1069
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: these years later. But fun game to watch and it

1070
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: definitely helped put Boise on the map. Final question here,

1071
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: I got one more question. Yeah, this is from Cody.

1072
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: Next year, my wife and I will celebrate ten years

1073
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: of marriage. In the early days, we hash out a

1074
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: contract that allowed each person full control of what's on

1075
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: the TV during a certain part of the season. Obviously,

1076
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: I negotiated for college football season. This was a loose

1077
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: agreement early on, but became more formalized as the years

1078
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: had passed. It includes addendums for bowl season, if my

1079
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: team reaches the playoffs, and the off season things like

1080
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the draft, National Signing Day, et cetera. During the season,

1081
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm able to watch whatever games I want, knowing that

1082
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: in the off season I get no say. With lots

1083
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: of reality TV during her time, I've learned about this

1084
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: tie continue with the season starting later and still possibly

1085
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: on the brink of being canceled altogether. What suggestions do

1086
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: you have for what I should do slash watch during

1087
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: my time? Should I ask for an addendum because of

1088
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: the pandemic and if so, what would that be? Any

1089
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: other thoughts or suggestions, Cody, this is a hell of

1090
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: a question, sir. First off, congratulations on ten years or

1091
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, coming anniversary? I want marriage suggestions from the

1092
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: man who said maybe be passive aggressive about the dog

1093
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: sleeping in your bad as your big power tip. Much

1094
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: to our friend Andy Wall's horror.

1095
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: Again, the snarkiness permeates that side of the conversation.

1096
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: It's the new Chicago. Would you like to tell me

1097
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: all the answers here? Or do I get a say? No?

1098
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: You know why, sir, let's hear what you got. Okay, So,

1099
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: if you're claiming saturdays during the college football season, you're

1100
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: claiming fifteen saturdays. You know, perhaps you're only really watching

1101
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: TV at night and on weekends. That's my assumption. Not

1102
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people spend all day watching TV on

1103
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: a random Thursday. So if the full season is canceled,

1104
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: I say you just keep those saturdays to watch what

1105
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: you want to watch. And if there's if you can't

1106
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: think of anything that fills out your complete fall run

1107
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: of Saturdays. Just take some my ouse, just say, you

1108
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to take half of these for

1109
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: shows I want to watch, and then I'm going to

1110
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: take half of these. We I'm going to take a

1111
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: quarter of these for shows I want to watch, and

1112
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: then I'm going to pull these forward to the spring.

1113
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to defer, and you know I'm not going

1114
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: to take I'm not going to make the decision at

1115
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: opening kickoff. I'm going to defer till the spring. I

1116
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: think that's an option you have. I would say, do

1117
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: a lot of research about shows that you've heard are good.

1118
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you watch the pilots yourself. You're like, I've always

1119
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: heard Fargo is good. I've always heard The Wire is good.

1120
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: I've always heard, you know, Breaking Bad is good, Insecure

1121
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. Always heard these shows are great. What about

1122
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: watching all of or some of the pilot and it's like,

1123
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not going to waste my pick

1124
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: on this show because it turns out I'm not into

1125
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: it at all. And so that's the way you go.

1126
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: You got to do your own scouting, is what I'm saying.

1127
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: You got a pilot Scout pilot Scout, Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

1128
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you have shows. Ty, do you

1129
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: have a show right now? You're like, I'd really like

1130
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: to watch that, but I'm not sure about the old

1131
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Kate taste.

1132
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Kate's not into not into billions. I've gotten into billions,

1133
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 2: not into billions, Succession. I haven't gotten into Succession yet.

1134
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Now do you think she would like to know anything

1135
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: about Succession?

1136
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: Really about it? Ty bars on the floor, Ty, you

1137
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: need to watch Succession, even if it's does she go

1138
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: to bed earlier than you sometimes not all the time?

1139
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Take a take a late time night and watch the

1140
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,919
Speaker 1: pilot of Succession. There's only two seasons. I think there's

1141
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: only ten episodes in each season.

1142
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: I would tell this gentleman here on the floor. I

1143
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:47,959
Speaker 2: would tell this gentleman here that, uh, if you can

1144
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 2: defer to springtime, you know, provided there is no season,

1145
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 2: that's got to be your first move. And you know,

1146
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 2: I say that with the recognition of the fact that

1147
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: it could overlap some of the reality TV stuff, Like

1148
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what the state of production is in

1149
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 2: the reality TV universe, but my guess is it's not

1150
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 2: doing great at the moment, so.

1151
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a backlog problem.

1152
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Whether it's a bad I don't know what the deal

1153
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: is there, But my only point is that you could

1154
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 2: have some overlap and that could make things interesting if

1155
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: you push it off to the spring. I would probably

1156
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: just go on like Netflix right now and just find

1157
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 2: stuff that you're both into and just stick with that.

1158
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: That's the problem, though, That's that's the tough one. Yeah,

1159
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Like I want to watch an episode about Wahawk and

1160
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: street food of some food show on Netflix and Jody

1161
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: with and I wants to watch Lennox Hill and people

1162
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: like die of brain surgery and the emotions that go

1163
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: along with that. That's not how I want to spend

1164
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: my time, but I do it sometimes, and it's it's

1165
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: what was the last show? I won't I won't tell

1166
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 1: her ty, what was the last show that you watched

1167
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: that you weren't into but you watched it because you're

1168
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: part of a partnership. I mean, that's most of the shows, Dan,

1169
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Just give me the show. I'm

1170
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,439
Speaker 1: not going to say anything. I'm not sensing it that loud.

1171
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: It's most of the shows. Okay, what which one was?

1172
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Was truly pulling teeth.

1173
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 2: I forget the name of this movie, Dan, but it

1174
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 2: was about like a weird cult in Norway and they

1175
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 2: were cannibals. And Kate was like, oh, I heard this

1176
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: is really good. It was like something summer I forget

1177
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 2: s O M M. I R very strange movie.

1178
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Not for me. She thought it was terrific. I was like, A,

1179
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about this. What I think is going

1180
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: to happen. By the way, is I think a lot

1181
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: of shows that were too bad to get picked up

1182
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: and purchased and they're just sitting on a shelf somewhere.

1183
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Netflix is like floor is Lava? Okay, summer summer mid

1184
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: s O M mar excuse me? Okay, yeah, mine was

1185
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: probably lenox l weird flick just didn't want to watch.
