1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull that for me.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm for.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 3: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 3: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 4: You want to be happy for dake Edo state is

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 4: that woof woof?

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: And then and Tye, welcome back to the solid verbal

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: Boys and Girls is their last episode of August.

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I am joined. It's the weirdest way to stay girls.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: I love it. I am joining Girls by Dan Rubinstein

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: over there in Chicago. I don't know what got into me.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: How are you?

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: It's a touch of Dave Randa. I guess I can

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: tell you this, Ty, Whatever happens these next dozens of minutes,

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: it won't be in a bad way. Because I'm dehydrated.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: I am sitting next to my sixty four ounce jug growler,

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: whatever the hell this thing is, and I am sore

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: and tie. I feel the hydrogen and oxygen and coursing

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: through I don't know. I guess my stomach. I don't know.

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: I feel great, Ty, I'm ready to roll.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: Do you ever get to a point where you feel

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: like you've had too much water?

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I have gotten to that point before. But here's the thing,

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Tie breaking news. Your body just pees it out.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 3: I understand that at some point your commitment to hydration

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: overtakes your commitment to just being a normal, comfortable human,

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: and the bathroom trips become more frequent, and it just, yeah,

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: you know, like, is it all worth it?

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: It's a tight rope that I'm not afraid to walk.

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: Tie.

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: That's all I'm going to say right now. I'll leave

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: it at that.

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: Well, suffice to say, we are the most hydrated show

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: in the college football ether. I am Tie, he is Dan.

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: This is the solid verbal. We had originally talked about

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: doing an ACC preview. Turns out I got my schedule wrong.

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: That's going to be next week, okay, or we'll talk

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: through all things ACC, maybe start getting you ready for

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: the SEC talk about everything going on as it relates

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: to this college football season. But one thing that we've

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: had happen throughout the span of this pandemic, really but

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: particularly as we've gotten a little bit closer to this season,

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: the questions that we have coming in coursing through the

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: soliverbal inbox and across all of our social media platforms.

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: They are robust. They are among some of the best

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: that we have gotten in our decade plus of podcasting.

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: We felt remiss to not just go back and address

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: some of these while we still have the opportunity. As

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: I said last show, I think before the end of August.

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Right correct.

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: Suffice to say, we're going to be talking about actual

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: football and previews and teams really soon. We wanted to

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: try and squeeze just one more of these in if

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: at all possible. So that's the show you got tonight.

Speaker 3: we will announce. I promise you.

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: Did.

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: I leave everything so good at teases ty, We've been

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: teasing stuff for a while.

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: We had planned a lot of things for like eight

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago and because of everything that is happening, we

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: have felt like things don't feel right to take the

72
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: bubble wrap off immediately. It feels like it's in poor

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: taste with some of the things we've been planning to do,

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: not in terms of the shows we wanted to do,

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: but sort of the structure and new things we've been

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: planning for a long time. It felt like the wrong time,

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: so we're hoping that the right time is quickly approaching.

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: We've been grappling with is it middle of September, beginning

79
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: of October for the shirtless calendar, Like, what is the

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: right time for that? When is it soon? There's just

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: so much going on in the world.

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: Have people already heard the new Manscaped Dad that you're

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: a part of I.

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: Don't know if I cannot believe you did that to me,

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: you scoundrel.

86
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know it's if it's been digitally inserted into

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: this episode already, but I would not fast forward advertisements

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: just in case our newest Manscape Manscaped read is live.

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: You are a scoundrel for doing that to me. I

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: can't believe you did that to me. That was almost

91
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: the end of the podcast. Should we get to news.

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: Let's do that.

93
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: We have bracking news.

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: You've got some energy today, Ty got a little bit

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: of energy.

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: Dog's barking in the background. Don't know if you can

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: hear her. That's her reaction time.

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: I yelled that apparently we had the solid Toddler the

99
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Sodler barkin in the background a little bit earlier. So

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: it all works out. It's all even.

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: Eight Nebraska football players are suing the Big Ten over

102
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: the Big Ten's decision to postpone the season. They filed

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: it on Thursday. They are seeking to invalidate the league's

104
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: postponement of the fall football season and to award damages.

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: It was filed in Lancaster County District Court. It alleges

106
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: that the conference is in breach of contract by not

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: following its governing documents, under which athletes are third party beneficiaries.

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: The athletes, according to the suit, have quote the right

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: to expect the Big Ten will follow its own governing

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: documents and all of its other rules, regulations, and guidelines,

111
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: will not make arbitrary and capricious decisions, and when a

112
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: vote on a decision as momentous as canceling all fall

113
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: sports is announced, will conduct an actual vote end quote.

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: They are, of course citing some public statements from the

115
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: Minnesota president the Michigan state president when they question whether

116
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: or not a formal vote to postpone ever actually took

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: place among the conference's council presidents and chancellors. So a

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: lot to digest, They're a lot to unpack, you know,

119
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: I get where they're coming from. I understand the frustration.

120
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: I would say, almost assuredly they will lose. Yeah, this suit.

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't think the point of the lawsuit was to

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: actually reverse the decision made by the conference, because that

123
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: kind of precedent of players deciding on operational procedures for

124
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: a conference is not something that seems like it's in

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: the near future. But and if you read any of

126
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: the pieces that there was an interview, I think it's

127
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: Noah Pola Gates's mother, a cornerback for defensive back from Nebraska.

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: She was more talking about we want clarity, we want documents,

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: we want to know what happened behind them the Big

130
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: ten curtain, and that they haven't gotten those answers to

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: their satisfaction. And it could be argued no answers would

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: be to their satisfaction, which is okay, sort of speaks

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: to where everything is right now, So I would imagine

134
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: if this is going to move forward to trial, the

135
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: point is discovery. The point is to be able to

136
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: gather documents, to gather evidence, to have more clarity into

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: the thinking. Because there is rightful concern among players and

138
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, this is a belief system as it relates

139
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: to public health and coronavirus and everything like that, that

140
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: they are being denied the opportunity to market themselves and

141
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: further their careers and their marketability for the NFL, and

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: sure why they signed up to play college football in

143
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: the first place in a major conference like the Big Ten.

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: So I think it's more about further evidenced clarity than

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: anything else. And even if you read the piece, I

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: think there was I mean, it's been covered everywhere, but

147
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Nebraska parents, Nebraska players are not all on the same page.

148
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Some are totally good with the decision. It's not a

149
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: monolithic thing where it's the entirety of the eighty five Nebraska.

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: Sione at the time the times, that's the story across

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: the board, really right for sure, So I think these

152
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: eight players are acting on behalf of what I'm sure

153
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: is an overwhelming majority of the Nebraska football team as

154
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: well as any other Big Ten team, where they want

155
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: to have as much information as humanly.

156
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Possible, and because they have not gotten it yet, this

157
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: is the step that they felt they needed to take.

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: And so if there's more information that's able to be

159
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: gleaned from, you know, filing this lawsuit, I think it's

160
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: a win because we'd all like to know. But yeah,

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the point is to actually, you know,

162
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: restart the Big Ten season, even if that's what it says.

163
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: All right. On the topic of the Big Ten, the

164
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: conference is considering multiple domed stadiums as potential sites for

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: winter college football. Some of those sites include Lucas Oil

166
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 3: Stadium in Indianapolis. That's, of course where they play the

167
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: Big Ten championship game, Detroit's Ford Field, the Minneapolis US

168
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 3: Bank Stadium, and the Dome at America Center in Saint Louis.

169
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: Some others that I saw kicked around in the CBS

170
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: article Miller Park in Milwaukee, Northern Iowa's Uni Dome, and

171
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: Northern Michigan's Superior Dome. Sure just some of the stadiums

172
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: that have been kicked around there. It's also possible, of course,

173
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: that they could consider some other stadiums outside the central

174
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: geographic area around the Big Ten Conference, but obviously that

175
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: presents some more logistical challenges. Here's what I like about

176
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: the story. What I like about this story is they're

177
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: getting creative. I like that they're getting creative with it.

178
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: I like that it seems like they're trying to plan

179
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: for something. Whether you like it or not, this is

180
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: kind of like the last great hope for a Big

181
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 3: Ten football season. Perhaps it already has not worked out

182
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: the way that they had planned, with other conferences presumably

183
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: trying to carry on in the fall. Maybe they didn't

184
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: expect that, maybe they did. But I like that they're

185
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: getting creative. I like that they're thinking about this. I

186
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: would hope that they would have a better roll out

187
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: plan as it relates to their spring season than they

188
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: did the postponement of their fall season, because that created

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: a hell of a shockwave around the world of college football.

190
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: Anything that they can do to stave that off now

191
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: with this planning of the spring season, I think would

192
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: be much appreciated.

193
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's all correct. I think this fall

194
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: is sort of on the everything is on the table

195
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: portion of the Big Ten delayed season conversation. They're throwing

196
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: out names of stadiums. By the way, is there still

197
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: a hotel attached to the SkyDome or whatever the Toronto

198
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Baseball stadium is called. Maybe that's the answer. Yeah, maybe

199
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: you could have the bubble quarantine attached to a dome.

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Canada seems like a terrific

201
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: answer for a number of things, but I don't know

202
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: what the logistics of playing in what North Dakota in.

203
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that everything is on the table.

204
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if North Dakota was mentioned in your

205
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: long Northern Iowa. Oh, the Northern Iowa Dome. Yeah, another

206
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: FCS dome, but it's uh, I don't know. It all

207
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: seems dicey. We don't know where the world is going

208
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: to be come I guess the middle of winter and

209
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: where the viruses and where vaccines are going to be.

210
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have better protocol by then,

211
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: because I think it's increasing exponentially by the month. We're saying,

212
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you put this down. The waste

213
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: water situation at the University of Arizona Zona, bar down, Baby,

214
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: bear down, so to catch things very early, certainly is

215
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: an advantageous way to go about everything. So sure everything's

216
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: on the table. That's my reaction.

217
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: There are some postponements to discuss, and I probably did

218
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: get them all. I saw that Troy and ULM are

219
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: postponing their September fifth matchup due to a significant COVID

220
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: outbreak at ULM. ECU and Marshall have postponed their game

221
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: on September the twelfth. My guess is that there will

222
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: be others, but those are actually the only two I had.

223
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: Did I miss anything?

224
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: NC State Virginia Tech by two weeks. They'll respondent because

225
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: things have not been great at NC State. Hopefully it's improving.

226
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's I mean, there have been reported position

227
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: groups at various schools. Yeah, we're going to buy their

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: tested positive. Yeah, I know you have that in the

229
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: news section, just related to postponements. So we assume that

230
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: it's related to clusters on campus, perhaps clusters within the

231
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: football team. And we hope everybody's all right, because it

232
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: is strange sometimes that we'll see like North Carolina clusters

233
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: or Notre Dame clusters or Alabama students and we were like,

234
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: oh man, well they'll be better by football season, Like, well, hopefully,

235
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: this is a really awful situation. And yes they're young,

236
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: and yes they have the best chance of coming out

237
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: of it in a good place. But it's okay to

238
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: just say, man, I hope they're just hope they're all

239
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: right as human beings. That'd be great. So that's happening everywhere,

240
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: that's what it seems now.

241
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I would further the point of much

242
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: of what Greg Sankie has said, and I think conference

243
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: commissioners have been fairly in unison on the point of

244
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: if we delay, if we wait, that gives us more

245
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: opportunity to build out protocols and build out strategies and

246
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: just come up with some way to handle all this

247
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: and still maybe put on a football season. So one

248
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: of the things here My next tidbit is about the

249
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: Big twelve and Conference USA and some extent the SEC

250
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: adopting three COVID nineteen tests per week. The ACC is

251
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: expect did to follow a similar philosophy in the very

252
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: near future, but they're going to do two of those

253
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: like pipe cleaner tests, where they're trying to like get

254
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 3: the gunk out of your brain, which I think you

255
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: had one.

256
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Had those.

257
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: Not No, not at all, but I'm glad I got

258
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: it tested negative. It's not a great time.

259
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: Two of those a week and then an antigen test

260
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: later in the week. They're trying to really cover all bases.

261
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: It does seem as if testing protocols are being established

262
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: and additional ways to test for the virus are also

263
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: being developed as well. I don't know if that bodes

264
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: better for the Big ten and PAC twelve in the spring.

265
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go there with it, but with

266
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: the advantage of more time, we are finding that some

267
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: of these things are coming to light and look, society

268
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: as a whole can benefit from that. So here's hoping

269
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: that this works out for the Big twelve and really

270
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: any other conference that's going to establish this protocol and

271
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: try to move forward in the fall or even in

272
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: the spring it comes to that. I think that's good news,

273
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: good news at a time, and we need some for sure.

274
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: Doubling back on your point, though, we do have news

275
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: now that multiple LSU offensive linemen have been placed under

276
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: quarantine due to coronavirus exposure. They reportedly only have four

277
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: offensive linemen available at practice who aren't quarantined. A bit

278
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: of a problem. I would say as we get into

279
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: the season, I have not seen whether or not these

280
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: guys actually have the virus, but they had exposure to it,

281
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: and look, this is going to be a recurring theme.

282
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And even if every one of these guys turns

283
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: out to be alright, it goes through their system. They

284
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: recover fully. They don't have any obvious side effects, which

285
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: is the best possible situation. Long term effects are not

286
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: to be seen. Whatever, they're still not practicing, They're still

287
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: going to be out of shape. It exaclates to where

288
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: they normally are in August going into a season. So

289
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: it just I worry about just a bigger likelihood of injuries,

290
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: of being out of shape, of being not prepared, and

291
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: this leading to other unforeseen circumstances. So hoping for the

292
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: best for guys at LSU or anywhere else where we

293
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: have these these these clusters, but man, it's it's tough

294
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: to see.

295
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: All right, what else do we got here? Brennan Armstrong

296
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: is the new Virginia quarterback. He was given the starting

297
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: nod by Broncomanden Hall. When we do our acc preview,

298
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 3: I'll talk about Brendan Armstrong and what you can expect

299
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: that of him. But some actual football.

300
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: You not have strong takes about Brennan Armstrong right now.

301
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: I don't. Right now, I need a little bit more

302
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: time to I just have so many thoughts that I

303
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: need to get them organized before I present.

304
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, he appears to be a

305
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: south Paw and I always root for lefty quarterbacks to succeed.

306
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: I love them left the quarterbacks and kickers. Yeah, oh,

307
00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: every time.

308
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: Rare gem in the football world. And finally from our

309
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: news is weird. We've got a quote here from less

310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: Miles that players opting out of the pandemic are opting

311
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: into it. There you go.

312
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Quote, if they out of college football season, they're into

313
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Yeah.

314
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: If they opt out, this is a quote. If they

315
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 3: opt out because of the pandemic, then they opt into

316
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: the pandemic. The last I saw it, the pandemic was worldwide. Okay,

317
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know what their advantage is to turn

318
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: at this point away from what would be a good

319
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: finish to a college career and the opportunity to advance

320
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: their abilities and then have a choice whether to go

321
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: off to the NFL or stay and compete. So we'd

322
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: love to have them stay and compete. Okay, I don't

323
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: understand any of that. I'm not gonna lie.

324
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: It hasn't been a great week for less Miles now

325
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: on audio tape.

326
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: Now, I think I get the general point here. It's

327
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: just a really weird thing to say right now. Less

328
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: Miles is never really the authority you turn to when

329
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: you're looking for like connectedness to world affairs.

330
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: And just sometimes sometimes, and you can quote me on this,

331
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: sometimes football coaches are just football.

332
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: I'm writing this down. I'm writing this.

333
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Please write that down, underline it, period. That's it. That's

334
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: my full thought. Sometimes humans who coach football are simply

335
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: humans who coach football. That's it.

336
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: I understand that there is a full spectrum out there

337
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: of how seriously people are taking this. I understand that

338
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: many of whom listen to the show write in about

339
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: the show, and so we're not I'm not going to

340
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 3: go there with this, but it's just a very weird

341
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: thing to say at this point. And sometimes, yeah, sometimes

342
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 3: coaches are just coaches who knew Yeah, all right, that's

343
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: all I got.

344
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: Questions.

345
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got in the news department We'll continue to

346
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: do the news for as long as we can't have

347
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: to whatever until we get to actual games to discuss.

348
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: I'm very excited about. Let's get to some of those questions. Congratulations, Skippy,

349
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: you've got mail, You've got mail on the solid ruble

350
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: Dan as often as we can, and maybe for the

351
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: last time before we get to the season. We like

352
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 3: to pay Homas. Those of you who write into Soli

353
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 3: Verble at gmail dot com, right into our various social

354
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: media accounts, really get us thinking, get us stretching those

355
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: brain muscles in a way that we don't normally when

356
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: we're just talking about the news or odds or I

357
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: don't know whatever else. We've got a menu before us

358
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: of outstanding football and non football related questions.

359
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: I have had enough water that I feel adequately prepared

360
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: to really hit these with a good amount of energy

361
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: and knowledge. Where do you want to start? You tell

362
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: me all right quickly, sk Murphy. Will Army win the

363
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: National Championship? Well, well, Army lost like all of their game,

364
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: and then they built their schedule back up to twelve,

365
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: to a full twelve. It does not include any Power

366
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: five teams, but it does include I believe Cincinnati and BYU.

367
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say yes. I'm going to say yes,

368
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: I am willing to give Army the solidrible national championship

369
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: if they go twelve to zero and they of course

370
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: still play Navy and Air Force.

371
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: Here's what I want to know. This is what this

372
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: question started me down the path of thinking about. Okay,

373
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: because we've got three power conferences now, and the College

374
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: Football Playoff Committee is on the record saying that they

375
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: want to proceed as usual, even with fewer teams, they

376
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: still want to conduct a playoff. They're going to do

377
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: their rankings starting in November. How do non Power five

378
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: or I guess Power three schools factor in because it's

379
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: kind of more of an open slate now right, I'm

380
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: not saying Army is that team, but yeah, if you're

381
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: not one of those traditional powers, is there any kind

382
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 3: of like statistical gain here for I don't know if

383
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: boiss I, I guess Bois's not playing. But if now they're

384
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 3: not a team like Boise, let's say a UCF. If

385
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: you will a UCF, yeah, do they stand a better

386
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 3: chance of eking their way into this thing? Now that

387
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: it's such a goofy landscape?

388
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: They would have to be. And this is sort of

389
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: true of even years when everybody's playing, but yes, because

390
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: there are fewer teams. If we get to the point

391
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: where all these Power three teams just really just beat

392
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the crap out of each other and they're all seven

393
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: to three and UCF or whoever runs the table and

394
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: just dominates, it probably has to be an AAC team

395
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: just in terms of what we know the talent level

396
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: to be in the American if they just full on dominate.

397
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: The problem is these teams, you know, in a normal year,

398
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: a Mountain West Power or an American Power is getting

399
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: hopefully a couple of shots against OK Power five opponents

400
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: when they're not going to this year. So it's really

401
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: tough to see unless UCF is just power bombing teams

402
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: fifty five to three every week and they run the

403
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: table and you know, next case scenario is you know,

404
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: LSU seven and three or something like that. Unimpressively, that's

405
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: that's as close as it'll get. And I still have

406
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: my doubts.

407
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: I am very curious to see how this all works out,

408
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: because I gotta be honest with you, Dan, because the math,

409
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: it already figures that we would need to have two

410
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: of those power teams in the playoff from the same conference.

411
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: So because of the schedules, because they're playing only conference

412
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: opponents in a bunch of cases, do we want to

413
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: see a rematch? Do we need to see a rematch?

414
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: This could be an opportunity for the playoff committee to

415
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: put one of those teams in and feel good about it.

416
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: I guess we'll see what comes with that with the

417
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: Playoff committee. I want to go to this. I love

418
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: this question. Thank you to Gabe for sending this one

419
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 3: in Who do you think has been the most over

420
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: hyped quarterback recruit in recent history? So I believe what

421
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 3: Gabe is referring to here is the brock Berlin Memorial Trophy.

422
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: Right brock Berlin, Wow, highly touted quarterback, went to Miami,

423
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: didn't quite work out.

424
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: Should we define what this actually means? Because there have

425
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: been five stars, there have been number one quarterbacks in

426
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: classes that I don't necessarily think had hype, like sometimes

427
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: there are just off years where like I'll give you

428
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: an example. I think Max Brown was Max Brown quarterback recruit, right,

429
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think he had like Jimmy klaus in

430
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: anywhere near that level hype. Jimmy Closs in southern California

431
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot more attention than wherever in Washington Max Brown

432
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: is from. And Jimmy Classon is certainly going to Notre

433
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: Dame and himself doing making the press conference announcement and

434
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: his commitment at what the college Football Hall of Fame,

435
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: all sorts of things like that I think will lead

436
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: to hype. And Jimmy Clausen happened to be a very

437
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: good college football quarterback. So he is not the answer,

438
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: but I think there needs to be. And I looked

439
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: at the quarterback since two thousand and eight when we

440
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: started the show. I wanted to send some juice coming in,

441
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: like they were, you know, the savior type quarterbacks coming in.

442
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: That's how I looked at this end.

443
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I was looking at a guy like a

444
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 3: Shape Patterson. Shape Patterson, I think was the top quarterback

445
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: recruit of his class. He was wasn't a bad quarterback.

446
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was a pretty good college

447
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: I don't think he lived up to maybe lofty expectations,

448
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: but as a college quarterback goes, he was okay. So

449
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: I think we're looking for somebody who came in a

450
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: five star got out there and was a stinker or

451
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: maybe just didn't play at all in spectacular fashion. Are

452
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: there any names to you that come to mind?

453
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I considered a bunch, you know, with how Christian

454
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Hackenberg finished his career, I don't know if that. I

455
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: don't know if that fully fits, but because of his

456
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: really promising fresh year, but the fact is, you know,

457
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: he was drafted high based on potential, and I don't

458
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: know if he was over hyped because of circumstance, because

459
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: of coaching change. So I'm not I don't think I'm

460
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna roll with Christian Hackenberg. Josh Rosen had a lot

461
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: of hype but was pretty good with a bunch of

462
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: different coordinators. Not amazing, but pretty good, And he was

463
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: drafted high and hasn't worked out as an NFL player.

464
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Jeff Driscoll, who certainly came

465
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: in with a ton of hype, didn't work out at

466
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: Florida but ended up being a pretty good college quarterback

467
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: at Louisiana Tech. But not as it relates to his recruiting.

468
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: I think he ended up being pretty good.

469
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Kyle Allen pretty good.

470
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: Kyle Allen was okay, Yeah, it was Okay, I had

471
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 3: I have a couple names here as you might expect. Okay,

472
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: so you know it maybe a little bit outside of

473
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: your two thousand and eight time horizon, but Anthony Morelli

474
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: still I have scar tissue from Anthony Morelli at the escape.

475
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: And that he was I don't know, I don't remember

476
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: his recurring I do, I do.

477
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 3: He was a five star. He did not work out

478
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: for Penn State. Okay, so he's a name. I think

479
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: you can make a case for Blake Barnett.

480
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: That's an interesting name. Yeah, he was what he's committed

481
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame, ends up going to Alabama and just

482
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: is immediately supplanted and does not make an impact there,

483
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: and you know, finishes his career with kind of a physics.

484
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: We'd be remiss if we didn't also mention Gunner Keel.

485
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

486
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 3: I think he had an okay career, though eventually eventually.

487
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: Hunter Johnson right now is an interesting territory.

488
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: See. I think Hunter Johnson came in as a really good,

489
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: promising quarterback, but not with the once in a generation

490
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence came in as like there were there

491
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: were recruiting people who said he'd be the number one

492
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: quarterback if he were a senior this year, during his

493
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: junior year of high school, like that level of hype

494
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: coming in and he, I mean, he's surpassed it. Somehow,

495
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: he's surpassed that that level of hype. Hunter Johnson, I

496
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: don't think. And maybe this is misremembering. Maybe this is

497
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: just because I don't live in acc country, but it

498
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: doesn't it didn't seem like he had incoming juice. I

499
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: already regret that phrase.

500
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: What about Bobby Reid from Oklahoma State? He was, of

501
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: course the yeah, the catalyst behind that Mike Gundy rant.

502
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: That's part of our intro. It's again a little bit

503
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: I think before our two thousand and eight the window,

504
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: but I know he was a pretty big deal coming

505
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: out of high school.

506
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: What was the Penn State quarterback? The Rob Bolden?

507
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 3: Rob Bolden never quite got to these levels of acclaim.

508
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: But he was a blue chip quarterback who was seen

509
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: as I mean, it wasn't a five star, but who

510
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: is he competing with? He lost the job at Penn

511
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: State to another younger quarterback.

512
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: God, you're putting me on the spot here.

513
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: I found the name. I don't think he ever did

514
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: anythink for Penn State, Paul Jones, Oh, no, Paul Jones,

515
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: No he didn't. He ended up going to Bob Morris. Anyway,

516
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: I think my answer might be Jacob Eason. Okay, I

517
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: think as a five star. I mean, it's any of

518
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: the Jakes if you really want to talk about it

519
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: from the State of Washington, Jake Keaps, Jake Locker, Jacob Eason.

520
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Although Jake Locker was dealt a pretty bad hands situationally

521
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: of when he came in, but I still never thought

522
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: he was all that good. Jake Keaps was rough as

523
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: a five star, transferring around Kansas and Stuch, but Jacob

524
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Eason came in with a ton of juice. If you

525
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: remember the recruiting battle between Georgia and Florida and secret

526
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: trips and will he won't switch, ends up at Georgia,

527
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: holds firm in his commitment. I think it was after

528
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Mark Richt got fired. He was like, oh, is he

529
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna go to Florida now instead of Georgia. He sticks

530
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: with Georgia, has a pretty underwhelming freshman year, but you're like, Okay,

531
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: that's not amazing, but he's just a freshman, ends up

532
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: transferring to Washington and was a below average quarterback this

533
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: year with an above average arm just I'm trying to

534
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: think of somebody that who had that level of hype

535
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: and never was a real threat at pretty good.

536
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: I think my answer here is probably going to be

537
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Morelli, even if it's a little bit earlier.

538
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: Okay, next question.

539
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: In your podcasts lately, where you've broken down schedule releases,

540
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: you're constantly mentioning tough road game X. When discussing the schedule.

541
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: With the current COVID situation, it seems clear all games

542
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: are going to be played at submax capacity, likely at

543
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: twenty five percent if there are any fans at all. So,

544
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: with that being said, how much of a home field

545
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: advantage do you think will be at traditionally tough places

546
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: like that Valley, the Swamp Lane Stadium, or of course

547
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: multi sport field. I'm glad that Michael through that in here.

548
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: I think it's going to have an enormous impact. To

549
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: be honest, Well, I mentioned this on a previous episode

550
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: or in one of our streams, I don't remember, but

551
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: typically the odds makers are going to give a road

552
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: team three extra points. So all things being equal, a

553
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: home team is going to be favored by three, and

554
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: in a lot of cases like Death Valley, like Lane

555
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: Stadium or Beaver Stadium, Michigan Stadium, what have you, that

556
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: number goes higher, could be as high as like five

557
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: or five and a half. Phil Steel College Football Extraordinaire.

558
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: He's talked about this home field advantage metric in his

559
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: magazine for eons. I guess there will still be a

560
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: home field advantage logistically, like you're moving to a different spot,

561
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: and for sure like it will be there, but without

562
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: the crowd noise. I think we're probably looking at something

563
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: closer to a universal three points this year. Dan, It's

564
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: not going to have the same gravitas as before because

565
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 3: we won't have that just that crowd of effect.

566
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's the crowd effect that's going

567
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: to give stadiums home field advantage when we talk about

568
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: oh Man Pitt needs to go to Clemson or Syracuse

569
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: needs to go to Florida State, whatever difficult places in

570
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: normal times. For sure, what I think it is is

571
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: going to be what is travel going to be like

572
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: this fall for these teams, large groups of people traveling airports.

573
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: I know it's charter flights and things like that. But

574
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: what are the regulations, Like, what happens if a bunch

575
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: of people test positive once they've arrived somewhere they arriving

576
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: early to quarantine and be tested and be in like

577
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: a pseudo bubble adjacent situation. What's going to happen if

578
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: travel effects coaches? What happens if a coach is unable

579
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: to make a flight because he is being quarantined or

580
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: is in isolation, and things like that. I think just

581
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: the idea of traveling and going on the road and

582
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: perhaps spending more time and more unusual circumstance. What happens

583
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: if a team is going from a place that's in

584
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: the middle of cluster and hit hard and has really

585
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: strict regulations in place, they go and play at a

586
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: in a town that doesn't have regulations in place. We've

587
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: got players sneaking off because they know the regulations aren't great,

588
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: and so the variables at play here is what, at

589
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: least to me, gives the advantage in a different way

590
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: to home teams. Just not oh man, that's a rowdy

591
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: stadium that rocks at night, because no, no stadium is

592
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: going to be rocking this fall. But the idea of

593
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: uncertainty and variables with travel, That to me is a

594
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: road disadvantage.

595
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: I could see that. I could see that, and who

596
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: knows what that situation is going to be, Like, I'm

597
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: sure we'll get kinds of stories about that. Sure question, Okay,

598
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: Jacob says, Hi, guys, first time questioner, longtime listener. Hello Jacob, Hey,

599
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: how do people have weddings? Now that the Big Ten

600
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: plans to have spring football? Being an SEC country, it's

601
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: harris see to have a fall wedding? What happens?

602
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: Now?

603
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: What a question?

604
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: I assume weddings are pretty different right now. I mean

605
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: I can understand, you know, perhaps a space gathering outside

606
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: or just a very very limited gathering inside with masks,

607
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: be it, you know, a place of warship or some

608
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: sort of events space. But from what I can gather

609
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: from people I know that are engaged, most people are

610
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: sort of postponing for a good chunk of time, or

611
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: they're just doing something very small and private. So all

612
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: I can tell you is if you are planning to

613
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: have a wedding, and you're planning to have people friends

614
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: and family at your wedding, not in a normal way,

615
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: but in a semi normal way, I guess just do

616
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: it during warmer months outside on a Friday evening or

617
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Sunday evening something like that, and just adjust your Saturday

618
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 1: plans accordingly, or just to have a Saturday wedding is

619
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: because we don't know what's going to happen, so you

620
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: might as well just roll with something.

621
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: This is your finest non answer in the history of

622
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: the podcast.

623
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: Dan, Thank you. I mean, how can I answer this

624
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: question accurately?

625
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: I have not. Here's the deal. I know at least

626
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: two couples that had planned on Spring twenty twenty weddings

627
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 3: and their venue was kind enough to defer their previous

628
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: arrangement off to twenty twenty one. So we're going to

629
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: get to like April, and suddenly they're going to be

630
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 3: a bunch of folks who had planned for April twenty twenty.

631
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: Now it's April twenty twenty one, probably not going to

632
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: be able to postpone again. That wedding is going to

633
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: go off. This is an absolute dagger. Do you find

634
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: gentlemen out there who managed to delay until April? I

635
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: think the only saving grace here you're probably going to

636
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 3: have the wedding. I don't know what the circumstances are

637
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: going to be like when you get there. I've heard

638
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: stories about people going and being socially distanced until they

639
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: drink and then it kind of all goes out the window. Whatever.

640
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: I think the saving grace here is that it's not

641
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: going to be a normal season in the springtime. Even

642
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: if there are games, and many of us are skeptical,

643
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm still not sure we know what the stakes are

644
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: going to be here. I don't know what kind of

645
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: feel those games are going to have. Like you mentioned

646
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: they have the same juice as you'd expect, I don't

647
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: think they are. I think it's going to feel like

648
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 3: a glorified exhibition schedule, and so you know, hey, even

649
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: though games this fall could be in that category, for

650
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: what it's worth, I think because the games are going

651
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: to feel so different, and because circumstances have shaded how

652
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: we feel about those games so much, it will be

653
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: easier to contend with college football. If you've got that

654
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: spring wedding and it just happens to be adjacent to

655
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: college football games, then maybe Otherwise.

656
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it with the juice thing, because

657
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: if the fall season and Nagamwa goes forward and has

658
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: minimal incidents, then there's going to be a college football playoff,

659
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: and then the Pac twelve and Big Ten are just

660
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: going to play without normal postseason stakes, So there's not

661
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: as much that's going to be hanging in the balance

662
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: for a spring season at the end of it. And

663
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that just means, Okay, there's me

664
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: a Rose Bowl, and that's cool because if you're an

665
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: Ohio State fan or a Penn State fan or whatever like,

666
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: you want to play for the Rose Bowl against the

667
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: Pac twelve champ by the end of the season. But

668
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State fans and fans of major programs

669
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: that we've hang in the spring have or usually have

670
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: their sites set a little bit higher than.

671
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: This reminds me. The spring setup reminds me a lot

672
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: of when I was fifteen and playing Conniemac baseball in

673
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 3: Eastern PA. There were two leagues, two leagues, and if

674
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: you made it through your own league, you qualified for

675
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 3: the state championships and all that amounted to was playing

676
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 3: teams from the other league. So wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

677
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 3: State champion chips are to be had out there in

678
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: the spring college football season. Next question, Buster writes in

679
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: throughout the show's history, can you think of any particular

680
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: college football events that led to a huge increase in

681
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: downloads reverb submissions for that week? Good question, buster.

682
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: I think you pay closer attention to both of these

683
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: things than I do. You have your finger on the

684
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: digital pulse of the show more than I do. But

685
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: I think crazy endings your.

686
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: Kick sixes, that's the answer.

687
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: That's when the reverbs really blow the hell up downloads wise,

688
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: I imagine as well. I'd like to think that sometimes

689
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: when there's just strange spikes, perhaps if either one of

690
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: our teams, Notre Dame or Oregon loses in heartbreaking or

691
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: gutting or entertaining fashion of some kind, that I feel

692
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: like I've seen at some point a couple of spikes

693
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: for heartbreaking Notre Dame or Oregon losses. Just to bathe

694
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: in our.

695
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: Misery, it's more Notre Dame than Oregon. Okay, any close

696
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 3: Notre Dame situation, win or lose, or god if any

697
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: if they do anything stupid that causes a spike in

698
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: reverbs almost instantly, And if there's a big play, a

699
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 3: controversial ending, yeah, those types of things they generally lead

700
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 3: to an uptick in reverbs, and if there's a big upset,

701
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: that will cause spike in numbers. But we're pretty consistent.

702
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: That's why we I think we are where we are.

703
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: We're pretty consistent from week to week. All right, what

704
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 3: else we got here? What's the best setup you've ever

705
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: had on a Saturday as it relates to what TVs

706
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 3: and sound systems and food and weather. That's from ned.

707
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 3: It's a good question.

708
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: I have an actual perfect answer for this, and it'll

709
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: never be replicated. But it was that camera guide Dave's

710
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: bachelor party in Austin. We rented a giant house, We

711
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: hit the lake the beginning part of the day, came

712
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: back for a chunk of college football. I think it

713
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: was Oregon, Nebraska and USC Stanford were that day two

714
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: or three years ago, so you can look it up.

715
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: And this was a camera guy. Dave went to USC.

716
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of his USC buddies and me and

717
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: there was a home theater in the house. We got

718
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: barbecue catering from I want to say Terry Black's Barbecue

719
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: in Austin and just gorged ourselves on smoked meat in

720
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: this giant, giant home theater set up and that was

721
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: pretty amazing.

722
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: I like it.

723
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's my answer. To go through a couple

724
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: more of these football ones quickly, do we get a

725
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty dude watch list for this crazy season? I

726
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: think we can pepper you know, maybe the ACC and

727
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: SEC and a couple Group five previously down here with

728
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: dudes by the team down here.

729
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 3: Just get that out there, nice little field, good way

730
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: to close out the week. My dude watch list in

731
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty consists entirely of Chaz Surrat. Okay, I started

732
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: going through my ACC teams and I was thinking, you know,

733
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: maybe I'd pose it on the ACC show. But now

734
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 3: that this came up, can we do a universal Charles

735
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: to Chaz conversion for this coming season?

736
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: Is it because he's a linebacker now and you love

737
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: a good like Joel Landing situation?

738
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: Because I like a good Chaz situation Like Chaz is

739
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 3: just such an underutilized name. We tried it with Will

740
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: to Bill back in the day and we got big

741
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 3: Bill Fuller, And I'm thinking that any Charles to Chas

742
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 3: now could be a nice little pick me up. So

743
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 3: instead of like Charlie Brewer, will go Chaz Brewer instead

744
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 3: of Charles chip Kelly, we go Chaz chip Kelly.

745
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: I think we have to move on. Like he calls

746
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: himself Chaz, So doesn't he have to be you know,

747
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: chuckles surat or something like that. Don't we have to

748
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: flip it to something else to make it.

749
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 3: Call him Chuck Surrat?

750
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie Sarratt chuckles, Yeah.

751
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 3: All right, but yes, we can do some sort of

752
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: dude watch list. I don't know.

753
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do well as we as we previewed a

754
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: couple of conferences, a few conferences we have left to do.

755
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: Do you want to just get into a bunch of

756
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: these non football things and politely dismiss everybody who came

757
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: for the football talk, because now it's time for non

758
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: football talk. Is that cool?

759
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: Hit me? Let's do it all right?

760
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: I did ask for electronics questions, ty, because I know

761
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: that's right up your alley. I just got a new

762
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: sixty five inch for KTV and Blu ray player. People

763
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: buy Blu ray apparently still that's the thing. Oh okay.

764
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: Last year I bought a home stereo with eleven point

765
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: one Dolby at most not a sponsor sound What should

766
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: I think buy? What should I think about buying in

767
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one.

768
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 3: Unless you can build like the levels that Kramer wanted

769
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: to build in Seinfeld to like complete your home theater,

770
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: I would like move on to something else. Maybe expand

771
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 3: out to a whole home audio solution with Son not

772
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 3: a sponsor, Sanos not a sponsor.

773
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: That was the only thing I could think so, like

774
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: wiring your house with a specific full house audio situation

775
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: or without the.

776
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: Wires if you go the Saanos route.

777
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Should you be treating your TV room acoustically?

778
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: Oh? God, that's such a pain in the ass.

779
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: Would at this point you're some I mean, like, should

780
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: you have acoustic panels on the wall to really make

781
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: it great? If you're investing in eleven point once around,

782
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: you probably should.

783
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, just put some pictures or canvas

784
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: or something on the wall. But that's that's such a

785
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: can of worms to try and treat it acoustically. I

786
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: would say your TV situation's fine. Expand out into like

787
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 3: whole home audio.

788
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: Okay, what are your favorite This I guess is a

789
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: technical college football question. What are your favorite college football

790
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: uniform colors? And I've added slash shades from.

791
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: Three D Nubie.

792
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: I've got a list. Hi, I don't know if you've

793
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: thought this.

794
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: Anything that's yellow is easy for me to see, you

795
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: like it easy for me to see because yeah, crippling

796
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: color blindness. So anything like.

797
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: Oregon yellow pops against the Gregans.

798
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 3: Like Neon unis. Give me more of that, sure, give

799
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 3: me more of that.

800
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: So specific shades in college football that I love. If

801
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: we're going to talk hex, if we're going to talk

802
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: pandone tie. I like gold helmets, including Notre Dame standard,

803
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: not the extra CHROMI gold helmets. I love Colorado's helmet

804
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: that to me, it pops really well. I don't know,

805
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: gold pops for you in that same way. I generally

806
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: like gray as an accent, so your Ole, miss your

807
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: Georgia when Wazoo has a gray accent. I love white

808
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: helmets is almost a standard rule. The white pistol pete

809
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: with the orange bars of good. That's pure sex. That

810
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: is pure visual sex.

811
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 3: To me.

812
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I like Oregon's apple green shade, either on a white

813
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: jersey or when the jersey itself is apple green. The

814
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: penn State, I mean, they have the white helmets by

815
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: the fault, but they're that shade of blue, whatever they

816
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: officially call it, I think is incredible. When Illinois wears

817
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: their navy tops with orange bottoms, I think that pops

818
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: really really well for me Tennessee when they have when

819
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: they usually do the white pants with the orange stripe

820
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: down the middle, I'm down the side. I mean that's

821
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: the standard. I love that. I love the Gator script.

822
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean it's classic, and it's great both when they

823
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: wear the white helmets occasionally and just their standard orange helmets.

824
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: I think is fantastic just in terms of colored tones.

825
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: And I know this is not a question that you

826
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: can readily answer because of your problems with colors. I

827
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: like burnt orange, I do. I know that that makes

828
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: some people throw up, but I like the orange against

829
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: the white of Texas. Oh. When ole Miss has their

830
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: their baby blue helmets. If you've ever seen those them,

831
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: those are hot. I'm trying to think anywhere else across

832
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: Power five schools or Group of five schools. I love

833
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: Auburn's logo. I don't know if that fully fits in,

834
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: but that, for whatever reason, it's just burned into my

835
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: brain is just a college football symbol. I don't know

836
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: if there are any else that really sing to me.

837
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, the baby blues that we've seen recently. When

838
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: SMU had their the the Galloping Cult or whatever, the

839
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: Galloping Mustang, when they did that throwback logo that was

840
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: that was also baby school pit. I did not And

841
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 1: that's perfect. That is a perfect uniform. We've already discussed

842
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: that on the show. Yeah, you've got the script, you've

843
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: got the yellow, you've got that great shade of blue.

844
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: That is a perfect uniform for sure.

845
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 3: Give me something else, all right, Next question, question where

846
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: we going next?

847
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of baby questions. How much should

848
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: you spend on a stroller buddy? I do not know,

849
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: but best advice for those who solid babies are turning

850
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: into solid toddlers from Steven, all I would say is

851
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: keep reading, keep checking. Okay, what should they be doing

852
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: at thirteen fourteen months? It's not an emergency if they're

853
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 1: not doing that. Every kid goes at their own pace

854
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: and figures everything out on their own. If you just

855
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: support them and do what you can do what's in

856
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: your power. I would say keeping them on a good schedule.

857
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: I think scheduling is very important, just the nap schedule,

858
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: the eating schedule, keep them fed, keep the water coming,

859
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, keep them on that nap schedule where they're

860
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 1: just they're rebooting every so often. And I think that's

861
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: that's the way to give your chance the best shot

862
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: at inner peace and happiness with your kid, because they're

863
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: going to be difficult no matter what. But if you

864
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: can stick to a schedule as best as you can,

865
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: at least in my experience, that has worked out pretty well.

866
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 3: I've got one here that I like. Okay, what's one

867
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 3: skill your co host has that you're envious of and

868
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 3: wish you had as well? I wish I could serve

869
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 3: a tennis ball.

870
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 1: Oh, not related to broadcasting or anything like this. Okay,

871
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: you wish you could serve a tennis ball.

872
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: I wish I could serve a tennis ball. Because you're

873
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 3: and you'll remember this, I've told the story before. When

874
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: I lived in my old apartment with then roommate Feldman,

875
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 3: we would play tennis two or three times a week.

876
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: I loved it.

877
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can.

878
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: I consider myself pretty athletic, and I'm you know, competitive

879
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: and all that. Words cannot express my frustration with being

880
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: unable to serve with any efficiency. Right if we played

881
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: fifty matches I might have won once. It was yeah,

882
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: and he's like you know, I mean, he's athletic, but

883
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: this isn't like Roger Federer over there. I should have

884
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 3: been able to beat him. I couldn't serve. I couldn't win,

885
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: and it drove me crazy. I don't know. I played

886
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: as often as I did, but I just could never

887
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 3: beat him. And it was because it couldn't serve.

888
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: If I if I could take on any skill of yours,

889
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: it would probably be any sort of ability to focus

890
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: on something for a long time consecutively, because I can't.

891
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: I have crazy add and I get distracted very very easily.

892
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: Where I've seen you work and you can just pound

893
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: away at something for five straight hours without taking a breath.

894
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't have that ability at all. I you know,

895
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: a bird flies by and all of a sudden, I'm

896
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,959
Speaker 1: wandering away. So that would be your your life skill

897
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: that I am jealous of. How is Dan enjoying Chicago?

898
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: According to Celebrate, we will enjoy Chicago. I'm first of all,

899
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm in the burbs, so it's not nearly as cool

900
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 1: as it would be exploring the city itself and seeing

901
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: new things, eating new things. Is he planning on being

902
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: there through winter, and if so, how do you plan

903
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: to avoid freezing to death. I'm going to be here

904
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: for at least a year. I like the greater Chicagoland area. Fine,

905
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm not far from Evanston. That's where I am in

906
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: the Burbs, so I could. I could go on a

907
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: long walk to ryan Field and Evanston is probably the

908
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 1: area I've explored the most, and I'm a big fan tie.

909
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: A lot of good stuff to eat, a lot of

910
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: parks for the little guy. There's a good time to

911
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: be had in Evanston.

912
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: I like it.

913
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: I just don't spend that much time doing anything. I'm

914
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: in the house working all day, and then on the

915
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: weekends it's just it's going to parks, it's picking up food,

916
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: it's doing stuff for a nineteen month old. So so far,

917
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: so good. I'm not looking forward to winter at all,

918
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: but I was in New York. I'm used to a

919
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: cold winter, but I'm not fully ready for the duration

920
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: and intensity of a Chicago winter. No, absolutely not.

921
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 3: Phil wants to know what are the best wireless earbuds. Furthermore,

922
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 3: are air pods worth it? He says he does a

923
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 3: lot of running and he's worried they'll fall out. I

924
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: worship at the Altars Pod.

925
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: Same. I absolutely do. Not a sponsor.

926
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 3: Definitely not a sponsor. You convinced me of this, Dan.

927
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just, especially if you're doing stuff around the

928
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: house with your hands all the time, you can wear

929
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: wired headphones. They'll just they'll get caught on cabinets and

930
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: they're just they feel a little bit cheaper if you're

931
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: just using the standard issue iPhone earbuds or whatever. I

932
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: would just strongly recommend, especially if you have a I mean,

933
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: I have a little kid, as I've talked about at

934
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: length here, and so that's just you know, you're changing diapers,

935
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: or you're you're just scooping them up at the park

936
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: because something went wrong, or it's just it's nice to

937
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: have those and if you need to make a call

938
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: on the go, it's it's a little bit easier. Just

939
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: it is. It's just nice. I haven't run with them.

940
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: I haven't really worked out with them because they're expensive

941
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get sweat all over them.

942
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: But I feel like I've jogged a couple times for

943
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 1: whatever wearing air pods and they've been fine. They've stayed

944
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: in my ears. But I guess canals may vary.

945
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 3: Canals may vary. Yeah, I use them when I mowing

946
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 3: the lawn. I use them a lot when I'm talking

947
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 3: on the phone.

948
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: Gator GT Woman says, what's an underrated kitchen appliants? Now?

949
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: Do you think she means appliance in the way that

950
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 1: I think is generally understood, Like, is it a dishwasher,

951
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: refrigerator that kind of appliance or is she saying appliant

952
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: slash tool? Yeah?

953
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 3: I kind of interpreted this as appliance slash tool because, okay,

954
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 3: your options are sort of limited with regard to the

955
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 3: things that you can plug in. Yes, right, So the

956
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 3: one that came to mind for me is a can opener.

957
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't scamp on your can opener.

958
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 3: If you've ever had a bad can opener, you know it,

959
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: you know it. A corkscrew kind of falls in that

960
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 3: same category.

961
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Okay, not a big drinker, but I can see why

962
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: it would be.

963
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, crew can also fall into that category.

964
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 3: You know. I'm partial on the souvied cooker as well.

965
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 3: The running joke, how do you use your souvide?

966
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 2: Ah?

967
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 3: Not that often?

968
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: Okay, now, I mean, it's still it's good to have.

969
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

970
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: The running joke that the Solid Wife Kate and I

971
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: have about souvied cookers is that anyone who has one

972
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 3: feels the need to explain it every time they use it. Yeah,

973
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: of course, and I believe that's generally accurate. Those are

974
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 3: the three that came to mind for me. Anything else

975
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: for you.

976
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a bunch that have just been a lot.

977
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: My life has been better since I invested in a

978
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: quality version of it. A cheese grater, like a box grader.

979
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: If you get like a good, nice heavy one, if

980
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: you're shredding a lot of cheese, or even if you're

981
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, doing it with onions or something, that is

982
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: a big deal to me. The can opener is certainly good.

983
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: Not just a knife, but we mentioned this Felder and

984
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: I did on the episode a couple of weeks there,

985
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: I guess a week ago. A knife sharpener. A knife

986
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: sharpener makes a big difference to keep away any sort

987
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: of dull blade action. I think a pizza cutter is

988
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: nice if you're making pizza, investing a good one of those,

989
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, the rolling cutter a good like it doesn't

990
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: have to be a standard drip coffee, just a pour

991
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: over or a cold brewer. I have the Oxo cold Brewer.

992
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: I drink cold brew every morning, and I love the

993
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: one I got. It's just it has It's basically you

994
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: pour the grounds and you pour the water and you

995
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: let it seep for I don't know, eighteen or twenty

996
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: four hours, and there's there's a spigot that you're it'll

997
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: just come out and you can put it in store

998
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: it in the fridge really easily. So that to me

999
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 1: has been really nice. I have the ants cutting board.

1000
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: I use it every day. An electric teapot, Yeah, that's good.

1001
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 3: An electric teapot is life changing.

1002
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: A good call. If you make eggs a lot, have

1003
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: a good little frying pan, if it's non stick whatever,

1004
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: I think that's important. I was just I just had

1005
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: something else tie that has now escaped.

1006
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 2: Oh.

1007
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: A potato masher. A potato masher, not because you're making

1008
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes all the time, but if you're making guac.

1009
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: That has been my best answer for quality guak is

1010
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: a quality potato masher.

1011
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: All right, Well, why don't we leave it there and

1012
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 3: wish everyone fond to do as we head into the

1013
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: last weekend of August. The next time we join you,

1014
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: it's going to be September.

1015
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: Oh Man, Ryan, Ryan has a good question. You want

1016
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 1: to get to that. It's it's been our endless frustration.

1017
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead. How are you guys setting up for streaming video?

1018
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: Streaming lights slash, cameras slash other equipment questions? Yes, and yes,

1019
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: Ty and I have had, oh Man, maybe thirty seven

1020
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: conversations about diffused lights at least soft boxes and white

1021
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: T shirts and pillowcases over lights in the way that

1022
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Ty is a stickler for high quality audio. I think

1023
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm a stickler for high quality video. And I'm learning

1024
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: a bunch along the way as we get ready to

1025
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: ramp up some new elements of the show, Ty, you

1026
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 1: have what a Sony A sixty one hundred? A sixty

1027
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: one hundred, I've got a canon add that I already had.

1028
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: You just got the Sony A sixty one hundred because

1029
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: it has no video recording TI, I'm limit and it's

1030
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: a nice sensor and nice small body. But yeah, that's

1031
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: what we're that's what we're working with here right now,

1032
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: and it's pretty I mean, I think yours does four

1033
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: k mine doesn't. But one of the things that's been

1034
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,479
Speaker 1: fascinating to me, as a lot of people have been

1035
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: quarantined and been at home a lot more and not

1036
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: going into offices watching and I'm not singling out any

1037
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: one network or anything like that, but watching ESPN personalities

1038
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: or Fox personalities or whoever, who are used to going

1039
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: into studios and being on TV or high quality digital video,

1040
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: and then they are left to their own devices or

1041
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: are being told, Okay, here the lights we're sending you,

1042
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: here is the microphone we're sending you. Here's the camera

1043
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: we're sending you. And all of these incredible broadcasters who

1044
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: have worked their way up to the top of the profession.

1045
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 4: Sound like that.

1046
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: They sound like this, Ti.

1047
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 4: They're not trying to sound like this. This is what

1048
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 4: they sound like as they try to produce television living.

1049
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 3: It's true.

1050
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 4: And I can't believe they can't figure out lighting or

1051
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 4: cameras or.

1052
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 3: Microphone, even a blue yetti for that matter.

1053
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: Jesus, Where oh man, there are there are guys who

1054
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: I think are used to going in and podcasting from

1055
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: these amazing studios and they're left to their own devices,

1056
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's just like this time. This is the show,

1057
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: and that's been incredible to watch. There are some people

1058
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: that get it right, and it's it takes time, but

1059
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: it's amazing how poor people are at finding light, finding audio,

1060
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: treating their room just a little bent with some soft acoustics.

1061
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: That's been fascinating to watch. So that's why we are

1062
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: taking our sweet time, because we don't want to put up,

1063
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, substandard stuff if we're putting effort into it.

1064
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: This is true, this is true.

1065
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 3: It's been an education for me, I gotta say.

1066
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: And I know I understand some people that's like their stick.

1067
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's fine, I guess. But we're talking

1068
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: about places trying to make good audio and good video

1069
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: and good TV. I think a couple of the late

1070
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: night guys have done pretty well. I think that has

1071
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: succeeded somewhat. But man, sports has not been in a

1072
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: good place at all. With that, that's all I have.

1073
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 3: It's fascinating, it is all right, all right, all right,

1074
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: let's call off the dogs. Let's call it a week.

1075
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: Ty. If this show is not a show that we

1076
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: can call out audio production value for no real reason,

1077
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: what are we even doing.

1078
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 3: For that guy over there, my good friend Dan Rubinstein,

1079
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 3: for myself, Tie Hildebrandt. Look stay safe, stay solid, Enjoy

1080
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 3: the rest of your weekend, Enjoy the rest of your August.

1081
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 3: We will be back next week, same times, same place,

1082
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:49,200
