Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbo.
Speaker 2: I'll that for me. I'm a man, I'm for I've
Speaker 2: heard so many players say, well, I want to be happy,
Speaker 2: you want to be happy for dake Ato State?
Speaker 1: Is that whoo whoom? And Dan and Tie welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Solid Verba Boys and girls. My name is
Speaker 1: ty Hildebrandt. Joinning me as always over there in New
Speaker 1: York City, My man Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you?
Speaker 2: I am so excited to go to the lone Star
Speaker 2: State and DC Tye.
Speaker 1: The cat is officially out of the bag now, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I mean if you're on Twitter or Facebook, Instagram, but
Speaker 2: not the show. So perhaps there are people listening in
Speaker 2: Texas who heard us talk about the fact that we
Speaker 2: are going to Big twelve Country where barbecue is prevalent.
Speaker 2: That's didn't name the place because we ourselves were trying
Speaker 2: to zero in and confirm a place between a couple
Speaker 2: of different options. But we are locked in on the
Speaker 2: first ever double Fantasy things. I don't know if it's rounds.
Speaker 2: I just know we're going to have a huge bank
Speaker 2: of options to select, and we have individual items and
Speaker 2: plans for each show. So this is huge Let's.
Speaker 1: Not get ahead of ourselves here. We have not figured
Speaker 1: out yet how we're doing this. Let's promise things that
Speaker 1: we'll have to know. We're not promising anything. We're doing
Speaker 1: two shows, one in Texas, which will officially be now
Speaker 1: on August the seventeenth at the Alamo Draft House in Dallas, Texas,
Speaker 1: or just outside of Dallas, Texas. We will be sending
Speaker 1: out our newsletter shortly, literally, as soon as I get
Speaker 1: the ticketing link, I'm going to throw it in my newsletter.
Speaker 1: It could be during the show, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: going to throw it in the newsletter and I'm going
Speaker 1: to send it out. Because there seems to be a
Speaker 1: ton of interest. We want to make sure that people
Speaker 1: have ample time to make plans to get to Dallas again.
Speaker 1: That is going to be Saturday night, August to seventeenth
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Texas. So that show is happening in addition
Speaker 1: to the show that we're also doing that you already
Speaker 1: know about. On August the eighteenth, we're gonna hop in
Speaker 1: the bird. We're gonna fly back across the country to
Speaker 1: the nation's capital August the eighteenth, Sunday night, that one
Speaker 1: taking place at Union stage. You can buy tickets right
Speaker 1: now at solid verbal tickets dot com slash DC, Solidverble
Speaker 1: tickets dot com slash DC tickets still available but starting
Speaker 1: to pick up.
Speaker 2: Oh we sold did we sell the most tickets we've
Speaker 2: sold on the first day?
Speaker 1: Yes, we have for DC both so both shows are
Speaker 1: going to sell out. So if you want to get
Speaker 1: in now would be the time to do it. Obviously,
Speaker 1: as soon as the Texas Show goes live, hit that button,
Speaker 1: buy the ticks, and you know, reserve your spot. We're excited.
Speaker 2: We are excited, and we are having how many members
Speaker 2: of the cabinet and the DC SW I.
Speaker 1: Believe we're going to announce our joint ticket for the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential candidacy.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm I mean if we're going promised stuff,
Speaker 2: what the heck, let's go nuts. What is the cabinet
Speaker 2: position that does the least work? Because Dibbs, that's what
Speaker 2: suits me.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll have to think about that one or maybe
Speaker 1: some ud.
Speaker 2: Can I can I pencil my name in for Hud?
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like an important position, Dan, I know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, a lot of them seem important.
Speaker 2: So we have DC, we have Texas, we have screens.
Speaker 2: We are I love this word because it's the like
Speaker 2: the douchiest corporate word. We're efforting to make it a big,
Speaker 2: multi mixed media extravaganza. I believe you.
Speaker 1: Said in one of your tweets that we were efforting
Speaker 1: tenders for tie, which was a very weird sequence of words.
Speaker 2: Do approve stand by everything. That means we are going
Speaker 2: to do everything we can. I think the Alamo Draft
Speaker 2: House and don't hold us to this now, but I
Speaker 2: think they already offer chicken tenders.
Speaker 1: I believe they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there will be ten Both of plenty.
Speaker 1: Venues will have food and drink available for my understanding,
Speaker 1: so it'll be a lot of fun, come hungry, come
Speaker 1: ready for football, come ready for our weird fantasy draft,
Speaker 1: which we still don't know. I'm going to emphasize this again,
Speaker 1: we do not know how we're going to pull this off.
Speaker 1: Yet we will alast it ideas we will do so
Speaker 1: we will find a way to make this happen. That's
Speaker 1: pretty much been our mo now since we started in eight.
Speaker 2: But we've never received an email after the fact. Any
Speaker 2: of our live shows, like you know What, didn't have
Speaker 2: a great time. Just thought i'd give you a heads
Speaker 2: up now all the fund deliver, all the feedback's been good.
Speaker 1: If you haven't gotten out and sign up for the
Speaker 1: newsletter yet, please do so. Go to soliverble dot com
Speaker 1: and see the form right there, and as soon as
Speaker 1: we get tickets, you will get first DIBs on it.
Speaker 2: Yes, other housekeeping quickly, you can go it soliverbal dot
Speaker 2: com slash store for our twenty nineteen shirts. It is
Speaker 2: currently we're recording this in early to mid July. I
Speaker 2: we haven't loved in a week, but I hope it's
Speaker 2: next week. I don't know what your schedule is looking
Speaker 2: like to begin our season. Preview episodes, yeah, I just
Speaker 2: like getting those up so people have a chance to
Speaker 2: listen to however many they'd like before the season.
Speaker 1: Also still in development, but I believe if memory serves
Speaker 1: were looking at maybe not next week but the week after,
Speaker 1: it will start before the end of July.
Speaker 2: So that's something to look forward to. Fantasy things same weekend,
Speaker 2: different shows, the seventeenth and eighteenth in Dallas and DC respectively.
Speaker 2: We are giving it all our hour all and we
Speaker 2: have I think a really interesting and fun show to
Speaker 2: do tonight.
Speaker 1: This show that we're going to do tonight, which you
Speaker 1: now know, is titled by the way, there's a thunderstorm
Speaker 1: in the background here.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry to hear it.
Speaker 1: Mother Natures feeling this show too. This show titled Wish
Speaker 1: upon a season is something that we came up with
Speaker 1: while I was in the car talking to you yesterday
Speaker 1: on the way home from the This Year You Stay job.
Speaker 1: And the way that this idea came about.
Speaker 2: Twenty four plus hours preparation for an off season show
Speaker 2: that's correct, which is like a new record for us good.
Speaker 1: I said, we should do a make a wish kind
Speaker 1: of show where we can talk as fans. We can
Speaker 1: invite others as fans out who listen out on social
Speaker 1: media to tell us what is your wish for the
Speaker 1: coming season? Problematic title, So we shifted it a little problematic
Speaker 1: title exactly our words, exactly like maybe we should have
Speaker 1: the title it's something else. Okay, we don't want to
Speaker 1: cross the streams too much. So then I said to you,
Speaker 1: is there some way we can like spin off Aladdin?
Speaker 1: You know you of course in Aladdin you only had
Speaker 1: the three wishes. But in Aladdin there was that whole
Speaker 1: wish component with the genie and the bottle, and then
Speaker 1: the light went off in your head. This happens a lot.
Speaker 1: The light goes off in your head and immediately you
Speaker 1: go to gosh, there have been a lot of movies
Speaker 1: that have the plot of a wish coming true.
Speaker 2: Wish fulfillment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you found there's a whole Wikipedia page
Speaker 1: about movies that feature wish fulfillment.
Speaker 2: This is true. This is one hundred percent true, and
Speaker 2: I particularly enjoyed the timing of this. We have some
Speaker 2: sort of service that tells us when people leave reviews
Speaker 2: on iTunes or some somewhere that they leave reviews on
Speaker 2: the show, and the reviews are generally good because you
Speaker 2: guys seem to enjoy the show, which is great. But
Speaker 2: somebody was like, really good college football talk. I don't
Speaker 2: like it when they talk about movies and TV four stars.
Speaker 1: She'll proven otherwise.
Speaker 2: Four out of five until they get things fixed. So
Speaker 2: if we can welcome to a show centered around Big
Speaker 2: seventeen again, Aladdin, Freaky Friday, Liar, Liar, and Ted. Yes,
Speaker 2: we know there are more movies about wish fulfillment, but
Speaker 2: this is what we have in front of us.
Speaker 1: I almost drove off the road going through these. Lord
Speaker 1: knows there are a million we could have included Kazam.
Speaker 2: We could yeah, we could have. We could have It's
Speaker 2: a wonderful.
Speaker 1: Life where they're peeing on the fountain. We didn't a
Speaker 1: wonderful like all these things, we had to pick ones
Speaker 1: that we thought were fitting here. So Danie, would you
Speaker 1: like to get us started?
Speaker 2: I would Let's start with Big. I think it's Josh
Speaker 2: Baskin was the name of the lead character who wanted
Speaker 2: to be Big. So essentially the plot of Big is
Speaker 2: he wants to grow up and reap the benefits that
Speaker 2: come with being an adult, a big boy, and so
Speaker 2: he does and goes through all of those things, positive
Speaker 2: and negative, before spoiler becoming a kid once again when
Speaker 2: he refines, Zoltar your choices, or you can come up
Speaker 2: with something else. TI for the kids or the people
Speaker 2: who are not fully grown up and not fully big boys,
Speaker 2: who we sort of wish are Nebraska, Kansas, Tennessee, UCLA, Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Can we establish some ground rules first and.
Speaker 2: Foremce I'm ready, I'm ready not allowed.
Speaker 1: To use Jalen Hurts. Justin fields, we'll say tu or
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in an answer and any of these answers correct,
Speaker 1: that's the low hanging fruit that you could use for almost.
Speaker 2: Well, just we've said their names already so many times
Speaker 2: since January.
Speaker 1: I'm just they've gotten to the coach as condiment level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what coach would you go on a road trip?
Speaker 1: They're they're kind of in that mold now, which.
Speaker 2: Which Mountain West Coast coach is most and least like
Speaker 2: Ross from Friends Season four exactly? Yeah, okay, So your
Speaker 2: choice is Nebraska, Kansas, Tennessee, UCLA, Arkansas or somebody else
Speaker 2: in terms of who do you want to see grow
Speaker 2: up and get to that stage of oh wow, they
Speaker 2: are they are suddenly ready to beat anybody.
Speaker 1: I think the answer for me is Nebraska.
Speaker 2: This is for the twenty nineteen season, let's be specific.
Speaker 2: There has been so much hype.
Speaker 1: I know it's probably the easiest answer of the ones
Speaker 1: on here, But Arkansas getting better doesn't move the needle
Speaker 1: for me, because I'm sorry to say they're still in
Speaker 1: the SEC West. Doesn't change a whole lot. Ucla getting
Speaker 1: better would be interesting, it'd be interesting, but there's still
Speaker 1: ways to go. Tennessee Tennessee is up there because I
Speaker 1: like what I saw. They had a lot of fight
Speaker 1: last season. Kansas Kansas would just be interesting because they've
Speaker 1: got Less Miles's coach, and again they're so far down.
Speaker 1: How far up could they really go? Nebraska, though Nebraska
Speaker 1: is sort of being talked about as like a dark
Speaker 1: horse Big ten West contender, it might be too early
Speaker 1: and if they if it happens, it's not because of
Speaker 1: Adrian Martinez in the offense that everyone knows Scott Frost
Speaker 1: is bringing to Lincoln. It's because their defense holds up.
Speaker 1: So I would like to see Nebraska be the answer
Speaker 1: to this question. That is my wish, my big wish,
Speaker 1: if you will, for Nebraska to get it done where
Speaker 1: accounts on defense and truly grow up and become that
Speaker 1: program that so many Huskers fans are hoping for now
Speaker 1: that Scott Frost has finally come back home.
Speaker 2: See. I want Tennessee. I want the SEC East to
Speaker 2: not be a Georgia assumption. I want everything that comes
Speaker 2: along with the mayhem that is Tennessee fandom a lot,
Speaker 2: but not all of all fans. I want that sort
Speaker 2: of week in week out you have the Florida rivalry
Speaker 2: you have, I mean Vandy, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, you
Speaker 2: have all of these coaches and storylines. If Tennessee and
Speaker 2: you have always are gonna have Alabama Cross Division. If
Speaker 2: Tennessee is suddenly a ten plus win team in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: I think this season becomes so much more interesting. Not
Speaker 2: to say that the Big ten West couldn't use Nebraska
Speaker 2: being becoming more complete. Listen, Kansas is running roughshot through
Speaker 2: the Big twelve. It's not a likelihood question, it's what
Speaker 2: just we wish, what we want. I don't know even
Speaker 2: if Kansas goes seven and five, that means they're taken
Speaker 2: down three four pig twelve teams. Which cool. Great Les
Speaker 2: Miles is on a bigger stage. UCLA fine Arkansas, Fine
Speaker 2: Tennessee is my answer. Tennessee becoming a big boy this
Speaker 2: year and dancing on the piano, what is it heart
Speaker 2: and soul in Big Ye with Robert Loja? Is it
Speaker 2: Robert Loja? I believe it is? That to me is
Speaker 2: everything Jeremy Pruitt and Robert Loja on the piano at
Speaker 2: FAO Schwartz. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: That's all I want the proverbial heart and soul of
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pruitt and Robert Loja doing just big SEC things.
Speaker 2: May he rest in peace, Robert Loja.
Speaker 1: I also have the Zultar sound here by the way.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear it, but oh, I
Speaker 1: like for some reason, Zoltar's on the soundboard, So what
Speaker 1: the heck, let's just play it.
Speaker 2: Like, do you think the Big Ten is more interesting
Speaker 2: with Nebraska a grown up? I think it's fine. I
Speaker 2: think Tennessee throwing a wrench into the SEC is a
Speaker 2: lot cooler now.
Speaker 1: I well, for sure, but the SEC's already loaded. The
Speaker 1: problem that we've had for years now with the Big
Speaker 1: Ten is that it feels like the East is loaded
Speaker 1: and there's not enough balance on the western side. I
Speaker 1: was always going to be respectable. They're just Northwestern Division, sir,
Speaker 1: But for a long time it's been Wisconsin or bust.
Speaker 1: If you can have another school rise up on that
Speaker 1: western side of the conference, I think it makes it
Speaker 1: more interesting and more balanced. So I'm all in on
Speaker 1: Nebraska for this one. The second one we've got in
Speaker 1: front of us here, yeah, is the movie seventeen. Again.
Speaker 1: This is from two thousand and nine. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: read Let me just read this. These opening two sentences
Speaker 1: that described this movie.
Speaker 2: I will go to war for seventeen again.
Speaker 1: Mike O'Donnell is ungrateful for how his life turned out.
Speaker 1: Matthew Perry, he gets a chance to rewrite his life
Speaker 1: when he tried to save a janitor near a bridge
Speaker 1: and jumped after him into a time vortex.
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I believe that janitor is Bill Murray's brother.
Speaker 2: It is that guy, Yeah, Rian Doyle Murray, it is.
Speaker 2: And isn't zac Efron in that too? Isn't zach Efron
Speaker 2: in it? Yes, it's a zach Efron vehicle, Zach Geffron.
Speaker 2: Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course in that as well. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here. We're talking about going
Speaker 1: back to when life was simpler, h when you could
Speaker 1: live life with the right priorities. Easier day, easier day
Speaker 1: and age, Dan, eas.
Speaker 2: Your day and age. And so you're talking about an
Speaker 2: adult going back. And I believe the character was a
Speaker 2: basketball player, so going back with what he now knows
Speaker 2: about playing high school basketball and playing it once again.
Speaker 2: So my question to you, if we are going to
Speaker 2: make a wish for a seventeen against situation in the
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen season. I'm going to grant us the ability
Speaker 2: to bring back, as they stand today, an Oregon and
Speaker 2: Notre Dame player. So you can bring any Notre Dame player,
Speaker 2: like you probably wouldn't want to bring Jimmy Clauston because
Speaker 2: you're not getting Notre Dame Jimmy Clawson. You're getting whatever
Speaker 2: team he's on right now. You're not getting Rick Meyer
Speaker 2: early Seahawks. You're getting Rick Meyer, you know, fifty two
Speaker 2: year old whatever he is. Apologize if that name is
Speaker 2: way if that age is way off. So as they
Speaker 2: stand today, any Notre Dame Oregon former player, and you
Speaker 2: can pick anybody to come back to their team that
Speaker 2: is not a Notre Dame or Oregon player.
Speaker 1: All Right, So you're saying we basically get present Jalen
Speaker 1: Smith if I wanted from the Cowboys back on Notre
Speaker 1: Dame's roster, this is correct.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you really wanted to, you could go
Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw for Louisiana Tech if that is something that
Speaker 2: appeals to you. I don't think that makes for a
Speaker 2: good twenty nineteen season. Add on, but you can.
Speaker 1: So like Michigan folks would want to go tom Brady.
Speaker 2: Tom Brady is one of my three answers for non
Speaker 2: Oregon because he's forty two damn years old and he
Speaker 2: would just be throwing Remember the Peyton Manning SNL make
Speaker 2: a wish tie it all together where he's just throwing
Speaker 2: darts at nine year olds. Yeah, that's what we'd get
Speaker 2: from TB twelve era, tom Brady throwing it to you know,
Speaker 2: being protected probably pretty well by a decent Michigan offensive line.
Speaker 2: And then like Donovan People's jones, would Tom Brady?
Speaker 1: That poses an interesting question. Yeah, would Tennessee fans want
Speaker 1: to bring back Peyton Manning in his present state?
Speaker 2: Yes, one hundred percent, and I would be in I'd
Speaker 2: be all for it.
Speaker 1: I would be all for it.
Speaker 2: It'd be a like Game three, him out of football
Speaker 2: shape deep in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: And baggage with his neck and his spine, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have to send Guarantano out for two
Speaker 2: and a half series because all of Peyton Manning is cramping.
Speaker 2: But even still worth it. I would do that.
Speaker 1: The other one, the other question I have would I
Speaker 1: know the answer to this would Florida people take Tebo
Speaker 1: back at this point.
Speaker 2: Current t Bo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in good shape. He's playing, he's a good shape.
Speaker 2: But he's perfect for the Mullen offense. That's the thing.
Speaker 2: He knows the Mullen offense. He's in good shape. I mean,
Speaker 2: baseball shape is different than football shape. And is he
Speaker 2: an improvement over Felipe Franks with no practice, no camp,
Speaker 2: no rhythm.
Speaker 1: I still probably Yes. He's an all all, all, all
Speaker 1: timer for the Gators. I feel like this question this
Speaker 1: is Great's how old is Tim Tebow? He's prime age, right,
Speaker 1: he still got it? Yeah, he's still in good shape.
Speaker 1: This question, to me is more interesting if we could
Speaker 1: find the one scenario where I mean there are many,
Speaker 1: but one scenario where a school star has moved on
Speaker 1: to the NFL maybe is out of football at this point,
Speaker 1: but is kind of teetering on that line of is
Speaker 1: he or is he not? An upgrade from what we've
Speaker 1: got now?
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that spin. You zagged over
Speaker 2: my zig you know what I mean? I like that
Speaker 2: you did that.
Speaker 1: Where is that line? Where is that Danny Ettling line?
Speaker 1: So to speak of?
Speaker 2: I don't think Morgan would take Hellodi Nata, the recently retired. Sure,
Speaker 2: I think that. So my answer is to Forrest Buckner.
Speaker 2: That's the easiest, probably. You know, he's an All Pro
Speaker 2: caliber defensive tackle for the forty nine ers, so and
Speaker 2: he fits in need that Oregon has. They're fine on
Speaker 2: the defensive line. They don't have a DeForest Buckner esque type.
Speaker 2: Who are you taking? I flirted with Kiko Alonso a
Speaker 2: little bit as well, but who are you taking? Mariota
Speaker 2: didn't strike me just because it's not a need for
Speaker 2: the current Oregon team.
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson's an easy answer. Zach Martin's an easy answer.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of one that isn't as easy.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser is an interesting selection. What he is an
Speaker 1: interesting selection, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Get interesting is doing a lot of work.
Speaker 1: In that sentence, he's got a better arm than Ian book. Okay,
Speaker 1: And when Deshaun Kaiser left Notre Dame, there was an
Speaker 1: awful lot of conflict around that quarterback position. You remember
Speaker 1: the whole Malik's I Air thing, of course, and it's
Speaker 1: just it was a really tumultuous era for Notre Dame football.
Speaker 1: I would have to think twice about that.
Speaker 2: One Would you take current Cosson over Ian Book?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: Okay, No, what's Klausen doing? I don't know.
Speaker 2: He's third string for somebody, probably, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would consider Kaiser, but I honestly need to give
Speaker 1: this one Heiser over Clawson. Yeah, I would do that.
Speaker 2: Sounds like some of you'd say to DELI weirdly, Okay,
Speaker 2: my other do you have any other non notre dame
Speaker 2: answers for players that would just wreak absolute havoc?
Speaker 1: I really think the Peyton Manning one's super interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'd like to get some Tennessee fans who I
Speaker 1: know listen fervently to the show.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not even just it's not even just yes
Speaker 2: or no current Peyton Manning. It's twenty twenty seven Peyton Manning.
Speaker 2: It's twenty thirty eight Peyton Manning. Like, how far into
Speaker 2: the future are you willing to take Peyton Manning? Would
Speaker 2: they take? Would they take barely throw at the end
Speaker 2: of his time? Though?
Speaker 1: Right? Oh for sure, I don't think that's gotten. You
Speaker 1: could show a movie on those passes. Would you take
Speaker 1: T Martin?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I would take T Martin over
Speaker 2: Jeric Warrantano current day in July.
Speaker 1: That could be an interesting one. That could be that line.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have JJ Watt on the Wisconsin defensive line.
Speaker 1: Okay, sure.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you are just a poor Northwestern
Speaker 2: right guard or something and he's like, who am I? What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: And then I would love to put Khalil Mack back
Speaker 2: on the Buffalo bulls. I would love to put giant,
Speaker 2: like two hundred and seventy pound wrecking ball in the
Speaker 2: mac mac in the back and the mac. I think
Speaker 2: that would be just a wonderful, wonderful explosion of fear
Speaker 2: and regret.
Speaker 1: All Right. The next one we've got here actually harkens
Speaker 1: back to what started this whole madness. Yeah, and that's Aladdin.
Speaker 1: So remember in the Aladdin movie, and we're talking the
Speaker 1: original Aladdin. Can we just get this out there, the
Speaker 1: animated version that we all know and love from our childhood.
Speaker 1: Aladd got three wishes. And this was another thing we
Speaker 1: did in the car. We wanted to be accurate and
Speaker 1: make sure that we got the three wishes. He actually
Speaker 1: got four wishes because he technicality, he was a smooth talker.
Speaker 1: He actually got four wishes, but his three official wishes
Speaker 1: he got out of the cave for free. He got
Speaker 1: out of the cave for free. But then with his
Speaker 1: actual wishes, he wished to be a prince.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then there was the wish to basically escape death when
Speaker 1: he was drowning bottom of the ocean, which I think
Speaker 1: the genie sort of assumed, right, He kind of shook
Speaker 1: his head, but he counted it. And then the third
Speaker 1: was to set the genie free, very emotional self at
Speaker 1: the end. So in a college football sense, I think
Speaker 1: we translated this to wish number one, who in college
Speaker 1: football becomes a blue blood or on the player's side,
Speaker 1: who becomes an All American? So from nothing becomes something? Yes,
Speaker 1: do you have an answer for this one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The Kansas Jayhawks. I want less miles in every
Speaker 2: single on every single TV screen. I want Kansas opening things.
Speaker 2: The thing I love the Big twelve is how wide
Speaker 2: open it seems to be. Even though Oklahoma wins it
Speaker 2: every year, on any given Saturday, it feels like things
Speaker 2: can get weird. Texas barely beats Baylor, Kansas State, and
Speaker 2: you have shootouts here or shootouts there, and in Kansas
Speaker 2: throwing that wrench with less miles, I don't believe it.
Speaker 2: I don't buy in, But that to me is the
Speaker 2: if anybody could wish to be a prince. That to
Speaker 2: me is Kansas finally getting out of this muck.
Speaker 1: For me, it's Brandon Wimbush becoming an All American.
Speaker 2: Oh that's very nice and very much in the vein
Speaker 2: of a Laddin selflessness.
Speaker 1: There was an injury at UCF. Brandon Wimbush is now
Speaker 1: clearly the guy at Central Florida. By all accounts, he
Speaker 1: carried himself extremely well at Notre Dame, even though he
Speaker 1: could see the riding on the wall, knew which direction
Speaker 1: things were going, found an escape patch, was able to
Speaker 1: head on over to UCF. I think Wimbush is my
Speaker 1: answer here.
Speaker 2: The second wish, By the way, I don't even hate
Speaker 2: somebody else associated with UCF getting magic excellence dust physically.
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Milton, sure, oh yeah, if we're talking about a
Speaker 2: genie situation, let's heal that leg up. Yeah and see
Speaker 2: the end of Mackenzie Milton's career that I would probably
Speaker 2: take over Wimbush, but I appreciate your selection.
Speaker 1: So the second component, then, the second wish in Aladdin
Speaker 1: is to escape death, which you could also tie in
Speaker 1: with a grad transfer, at least I do, and I
Speaker 1: go Tommy Stevens. Tommy Stevens if he stayed on that
Speaker 1: Penn State roster, I think is hanging in a bit
Speaker 1: of limbo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now it's like a Kelly Bryant. Yeah, how
Speaker 2: is this going to last? Right?
Speaker 1: I think Tommy Stevens going over to Mississippi State it's
Speaker 1: really the best situation for him. He gets to play
Speaker 1: in an offense for a coach that he knows quite well,
Speaker 1: and he does have an opportunity now in his final
Speaker 1: season to really make his mark in Mississippi State. So
Speaker 1: for me, it's Tommy Stevens getting the chance to escape
Speaker 1: proverbial death.
Speaker 2: I have getting out of a terrible decision. I have
Speaker 2: the big ten inviting Rutgers. I have the big ten
Speaker 2: saying let's escape the death of being associated with the
Speaker 2: current state of affairs. Rutgers is a school, totally fine,
Speaker 2: have nothing against you. Rutgers has an athletic department and
Speaker 2: football program. The way it's been sort of running to
Speaker 2: the ground in a number of ways these past few years.
Speaker 2: So how do they get probably how do they get
Speaker 2: rid of them? Do they trade them. They find a
Speaker 2: loophole in the contract that gets them out after this
Speaker 2: year or something like that, and they reinvite or they
Speaker 2: invite the team that should have been there all along.
Speaker 2: The Lafaelle Leopards tie.
Speaker 1: There's like a weird indemnity clause in their Yeah ten arrangement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are in because this is a movie show.
Speaker 2: They are the proverbial Santa Claus that falls off the
Speaker 2: roof and suddenly Lafayette becomes a new Big ten or
Speaker 2: whoever becomes a new Big ten school after the Quick
Speaker 2: Lane Bowl I believe it was the Quick Lane Bowl
Speaker 2: in two thousand fourteen fifteen. Rutgers is four and thirty
Speaker 2: one in Big ten play.
Speaker 1: It's not great.
Speaker 2: Bob four in thirty one, it's not good. Shout out
Speaker 2: Jimmy Woke for being Bob in that scenario. So I'm
Speaker 2: releasing the Big ten in Rutgers from their marriage.
Speaker 1: And then the final of the three wishes is to
Speaker 1: set someone free. Yes, set somebody free from the chains
Speaker 1: from the bondage. Yeah, who would you like to unfetter?
Speaker 1: I am setting the Pac twelve free of their TV
Speaker 1: deal and network. I am setting them free. I love
Speaker 1: everybody on the network. I think the people on the network.
Speaker 1: I think the programming, all of it's good.
Speaker 2: It's a good TV network that just isn't seen by people.
Speaker 2: I am setting them free so that can move to
Speaker 2: I think Fox Sports one took over four Speed network.
Speaker 2: I want to say so, I don't no whoever the
Speaker 2: PAC twelve can deal with it, take over their cable
Speaker 2: channel and appear on all satellite and cable and streaming providers.
Speaker 2: That the presidents are set free from another conference call
Speaker 2: saying yeah, well they made profits, weren't as good as
Speaker 2: they could have been, but we're just you know, we're
Speaker 2: doubling down. That's that's the chains of the PAC twelve
Speaker 2: TV deal that was made all those years ago. That's
Speaker 2: who I'm setting free.
Speaker 1: Or Lovey Smith, Love Smith is upre Lovey Smith, love
Speaker 1: you Smith is up there. I'm setting Clay Helton free.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm setting them free. It's obvious. But look, if he
Speaker 1: goes eight and four, it's turmoil, not just for him
Speaker 1: but for the program. Just just get it over with already.
Speaker 1: We all know what's happening. Everyone likes Clay Hilton. Everyone
Speaker 1: thinks he's a good guy. That's not the issue. It's winning.
Speaker 1: He hasn't won enough. Get it over with. Let him
Speaker 1: move on, Let USC move on as a program and
Speaker 1: hire whoever they're going to hire next. I just get
Speaker 1: it over with.
Speaker 2: Sort of mom and dad sleeping in separate bedrooms, snapping
Speaker 2: at each other over waffles.
Speaker 1: Whatever will be done eventually should be done immediately. I
Speaker 1: don't know who said that. It wasn't me.
Speaker 2: I think it.
Speaker 1: Get it over with, Yeah, it's it's best for everybody.
Speaker 1: Unless Graham, Harrold and USC are amazing on offense and
Speaker 1: they're trapped.
Speaker 2: They could be. It probably is a money thing as well,
Speaker 2: which I guess could be tied to the divorce analogy.
Speaker 2: I think they're probably gonna save some money on a
Speaker 2: buyout by letting him coach out the year.
Speaker 1: All right, next movie, Yeah, Freaky Friday.
Speaker 2: Do you see Freaky Friday?
Speaker 1: I saw Freaky Friday when it ended up on like USA,
Speaker 1: right or one of the good works? Actually not bad, Okay,
Speaker 1: not terrible. This is an overworked mother Jamie Lee Curtis
Speaker 1: and her daughter remake of a movie from the sixties.
Speaker 1: Remaking the movie this is from. This remake is from
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Okay, Jamie Lee Curtis, an overworked
Speaker 1: mother and her daughter Lindsay Lohan, do not get along.
Speaker 1: When they switch bodies, each is forced to adapt to
Speaker 1: the other's life. For one Freaky Friday, dan Oh okay,
Speaker 1: starring Lindsay Rohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Harmon early Mark
Speaker 1: Harmon in this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is pre ncis. Mark Harmon was a quarterback
Speaker 2: at UCLA, So it's all tied together.
Speaker 1: Now, what does this translate to in a college football world?
Speaker 2: So I have two different answers for you. I have
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, the Saturday morning of and I'm looking up
Speaker 2: the exact date, so I think LSU Alabama November ninth,
Speaker 2: Nick Saban and Les Miles Freaky Friday brains less. Miles
Speaker 2: wakes up, you know, wearing whatever pajamas Nick Saban wears,
Speaker 2: and the same for Nick Saban in what I I'll
Speaker 2: look at the Kansas schedule now. But Nick Saban for
Speaker 2: a Saturday is the Kansas coach and is very confused
Speaker 2: as to everything happening in front of him, and why
Speaker 2: he looks like he does, why his hair is suddenly
Speaker 2: so much darker, and what he's supposed to do with
Speaker 2: this Kansas team.
Speaker 1: See so Nick Saban? Nick Saban is the easy target here.
Speaker 2: Sure, but where would you put him? That's the difficult thing.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly you could put him. You could switch him
Speaker 1: in Dabbo and it'd be interesting. Nobody would switch him
Speaker 1: in Lane Kiffen. That'd be interesting. He needs to get
Speaker 1: into another body, into another mind and have some fun.
Speaker 1: Man lighten up a little bit.
Speaker 2: So were you? How? How is he having more fun?
Speaker 1: He's turned into Lane Kiffen for a day?
Speaker 2: Is that fun for him?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: He's just fau is just gonna be awesome for a day.
Speaker 1: People will treat him differently because I think he's.
Speaker 2: My second one is. I've always loved reward people that
Speaker 2: don't necessarily get the glory that I feel like have
Speaker 2: earned the glory. In college football, I am swapping out
Speaker 2: Kellen Mond Okay, totally good quarterback for Texas A and
Speaker 2: M and the best punter in college football. I kept
Speaker 2: it on the same team Braiden Man, Whin's the ray guy.
Speaker 2: Last year. I'm making Braiden Mann the quarterback of the
Speaker 2: Texas A and M fight Naggies. I'm giving him his
Speaker 2: moment in the sun. He's already left nothing to prove
Speaker 2: kicking the ball, right, he was the best kicker in
Speaker 2: the country, best punter in the country last year, So
Speaker 2: I say, let him prove something else. But I'm putting
Speaker 2: him at quarterback to give him that glory.
Speaker 1: Quarterback is such a cerebral position. If you're switching, what
Speaker 1: are you thinking about, Braidon Man? If you switch college
Speaker 1: football brains, don't you think that puts him in a
Speaker 1: very difficult situation. He's not going to know the offense.
Speaker 2: This is more for me, let me be okay, this
Speaker 2: is more for I'm giving him the opportunity. He's going
Speaker 2: to be very confused. Callen Mand's gonna look. The punting's
Speaker 2: going to be bad, the throwing's gonna be bad. But
Speaker 2: I feel good about Brandon Man getting to experience some
Speaker 2: lining up behind center in a non kicking way. I'm
Speaker 2: for it. I want to give him that moment.
Speaker 1: This next one is the best one. Okay, there's so much.
Speaker 1: Actually the last one might be the best one, but
Speaker 1: this this next one, it's good. Liar Liar, Yeah, Liar liar.
Speaker 1: With Jim Carrey. This movie was from back in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven if you want to feel old Jesus for
Speaker 1: twenty two years old.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey is a fast track lawyer who can't lie
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours due to his son's birthday wish.
Speaker 1: After he disappoints his son for the last time.
Speaker 2: Who plays his son? Is it Alex d Lenz?
Speaker 1: It is justin Cooper?
Speaker 2: Ah, so close? Okay.
Speaker 1: This is a classic movie featuring Jim carry.
Speaker 2: An uncomfortable Jennifer Kelly scene for sure.
Speaker 1: Yep. Mm hmmm, mm hmmm. A couple of different ways
Speaker 1: that you can go with this, mm hmm. I think
Speaker 1: putting the most politically correct, cheery coach in a situation
Speaker 1: where he has to just spill his guts is a
Speaker 1: very interesting But who is that?
Speaker 2: I don't know who is the person who is the coach?
Speaker 2: Because that gave us a lot of thought. Who is
Speaker 2: the coach?
Speaker 1: Who're like, Wow, if he were only honest, if he
Speaker 1: were only he couldn't be a bs R and really
Speaker 1: gave everybody what's on his mind. I think, maybe wrongfully so,
Speaker 1: a lot of fans believe that Dabo Sweeney is that
Speaker 1: guy that he's full of that he's full.
Speaker 2: Of bs LL. Yes, full Okay, malooney.
Speaker 1: Now, Dabo's had a couple moments here and there where
Speaker 1: people have gone off on things that he said for
Speaker 1: one reason or another. Right, But he's an interesting answer here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is the answer. Who is
Speaker 1: the most politically correct, buttoned up, corporate speaking coach in
Speaker 1: college football?
Speaker 2: I don't have a I don't have a coach answer,
Speaker 2: but I have somebody that fit everything you just said
Speaker 2: up until the word coach, like the corporate, buttoned up
Speaker 2: like where you'd really like to know what they're thinking.
Speaker 2: Whoever it is that is representing the college football Playoff Committee.
Speaker 2: On that Tuesday night ESPN show, We're like, listen, we didn't.
Speaker 2: We mostly watched King of Queens. We runs when we
Speaker 2: met mostly then we argued about you know, pineapple on
Speaker 2: pizza and then yeah, then Kirby Hoka was like, come on,
Speaker 2: just let people eat what they want. And then we
Speaker 2: just said, screw it. Michigan's in that's what I want.
Speaker 1: Bill Hancock, Yeah, could it be Bill, Grandpa Bill?
Speaker 2: He may be too wired to be lied.
Speaker 1: Wow, that was good, Thank you, I would say. Kirk
Speaker 1: Herbstreet during Herby games on Saturday night Herbie's on my list,
Speaker 1: I'd say Paul finebaumb I was gonna go Gary Danielson,
Speaker 1: but very much in the same Paul Finebaum thing.
Speaker 2: I think we're getting pretty open GD when he was
Speaker 2: talking about Florida paying players that show up on Saturdays,
Speaker 2: he is not against really speaking his mind. He might
Speaker 2: not like it, but I think he goes for it.
Speaker 1: The announcer angle is very interesting. Yeah, like I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to throw our friend Adam Amen under the bus here,
Speaker 1: but really, any broadcaster who is in those pregame meetings
Speaker 1: getting to know coaches and players, undoubtedly hearing some dirt
Speaker 1: about both sides, it puts them in a very difficult situation,
Speaker 1: being so they're doing all the talking on the broadcast.
Speaker 2: I think a good coach answer might be Harbaugh.
Speaker 1: He goes out of his way to say so little yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's so obviously a very good coach and really
Speaker 1: strong football mind that if all of a sudden he
Speaker 1: said screw it, and it was like, all right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna pick on this defensive end.
Speaker 2: Their linebackers are garbage. I don't trust our passing aim
Speaker 2: to do much, so we're gonna run the ball a lot.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be upset about it, but trust us, you
Speaker 2: don't want John o'corn throwing at thirty tats am. I right.
Speaker 2: That to me, I think would be a refreshing liar
Speaker 2: liar situation. I don't, I don't, and this is going
Speaker 2: to be clear. I don't think Jim Harba is a liar.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I just think he should be forced into really opening
Speaker 2: up about what he sees and how he feels.
Speaker 1: To two other interesting answers on the coach side, Yeah,
Speaker 1: another guy perceived by many to be a BS artist
Speaker 1: is James Franklin. Could be interesting. To put him in
Speaker 1: his sad.
Speaker 2: I think he'd be an entertaining I mean he already
Speaker 2: is I think somewhat entertaining harryns is. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think there's there would be something refreshing.
Speaker 1: There's there's some rationale to make the answer. The other
Speaker 1: one I'd say is Gus mels On because it's just
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of repressed anger in there,
Speaker 1: and he's usually pretty buttoned up when he's at the podium.
Speaker 2: Now you can see there there are veins in his
Speaker 2: temple that are doing a lot of work as he
Speaker 2: tries to juggle everything at Auburn. I think that's good.
Speaker 1: The final one here is Ted. Mm hmm, Ted. Did
Speaker 1: you like the movie Ted?
Speaker 2: I don't I remember it. I thought it was fine,
Speaker 2: don't I don't remember specifics. I had to look up
Speaker 2: how the Teddy Bear came to pass as being alive.
Speaker 1: John Bennett, a man whose childhood wish of bringing his
Speaker 1: Teddy Bear to life came true, now must decide between
Speaker 1: keeping the relationship with the bear or with his girlfriend Laurie.
Speaker 1: M hm. Of course, Mark Wahlberg is John Bennett. Meelakunis
Speaker 1: is Laurie. Okay. A lot of star power in this movie,
Speaker 1: by the way, Seth MacFarlane and Joel McHale, Giovanni RABISI
Speaker 1: sure boiler Room's own Patrick Stewart's there, I think, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Within a college football sense, we translated this to which
Speaker 1: costumed mascot comes to life and is allowed to play
Speaker 1: for a team. Now, the other stipulation is we're not
Speaker 1: talking about a live animal.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about Ralphie, right, and we're not talking
Speaker 1: about the leprechan from Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the mountaineer, right.
Speaker 1: We're talking about obviously there's a human in there dressed
Speaker 1: up as a something. Take your word for it, right,
Speaker 1: So Sparty mm hmm, the Spartan would be a good example.
Speaker 1: Could pick him to come to life and play.
Speaker 2: Joe bruin Albert Alberta the Gator.
Speaker 1: We had an epiphany on g chat earlier.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. We both said the Toledo Rocket too pronged. Yes,
Speaker 2: both for so I'm approaching this in a two pronged
Speaker 2: fashion of both who would make a pretty good impact
Speaker 2: football wise and who would just be super entertaining. We
Speaker 2: miss NCAA football so much on the PlayStation or Xbox whatever,
Speaker 2: and there was that mascot mode and so from an
Speaker 2: entertainment so you also have the akron zips Anger out there.
Speaker 2: Big Al would be pretty easy to tackle with the trunk.
Speaker 2: The trunk would be a legal tackling device, I believe, yes,
Speaker 2: but it would be entertaining. How far down can we
Speaker 2: dip level wise? Because I don't believe it's an official mascot,
Speaker 2: but I could be mistaken. But Dartmouth has Keggy the Keg,
Speaker 2: a giant keg. That would be I'd be in favor
Speaker 2: of that. But you want you want a big head.
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to go away from Auto the
Speaker 2: Orange Otto.
Speaker 1: The Orange is a classic, yeah, classic.
Speaker 2: Load to the ground, center of gravity.
Speaker 1: Bucky Badger is interesting to me, skinny skinny, But on
Speaker 1: the field, these tenations, So who are.
Speaker 2: The actual best if we're not talking about entertainment wise.
Speaker 1: Probably Sparty, Probably the Spartan Sparty, the spart Well.
Speaker 2: You have certain mascots that are dressed in full football
Speaker 2: gear but have the head Kansas State TCU. I think
Speaker 2: Buster Bronco at Boise State. Yeah, I don't remember if
Speaker 2: the other Buster Bronco at Western Michigan was in full
Speaker 2: football pads or gear or jerseys or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But I would love to play with the old high eyes.
Speaker 2: You remember that Buster Bronco the Western Michigan with the like, hey,
Speaker 2: what are we doing now? I think that's a good option.
Speaker 1: You could go Nitney lyon, but I don't think I
Speaker 1: want to do.
Speaker 2: That doesn't do much for me.
Speaker 1: The Demon Deacon is very strong, jaw line old. Oh no,
Speaker 1: he's a little older. Purdue Pete not bad, a blue collar,
Speaker 1: blue collar.
Speaker 2: Party Perdue Pete in the same same philum what about
Speaker 2: Oscary not bad? We're in a cardigan. So I'm not
Speaker 2: I'm not crazy about the the buy in, but I'm
Speaker 2: still pretty interested in him.
Speaker 1: Otto is a good answer.
Speaker 2: I think Otto is my Otto is my guy.
Speaker 1: Probably very good as a center.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, a lot of positions, defensive tackle. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: pad level. Hi, it's pad level.
Speaker 1: Before we go any further, don how often do you
Speaker 1: think about your socks every morning?
Speaker 2: Every morning?
Speaker 1: If you're like me, not all that much. You didn't
Speaker 1: used to anyway, but upon discovering Bomba socks many moons ago,
Speaker 1: it's sort of changed the way I, the way you,
Speaker 1: the way many people think about their socks. So we've
Speaker 1: got Bombas. Bombas has been kind enough to send us
Speaker 1: drawers filled with socks. Oh maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit,
Speaker 1: but we've got plenty of Bombus in our drawers, and
Speaker 1: it ultimately has become something that we like to wear,
Speaker 1: whether we're at the gym or just walking around town.
Speaker 1: I wear them to the Mysterious day job. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie. M hm. I'm not ashamed of it. I'll
Speaker 1: admit it. I've gotten them as gifts for people. They
Speaker 1: see the bombas design, they feel the bombas comfort. They
Speaker 1: love every second of it. They are the most comfortable
Speaker 1: socks in the history of feet. They're made from extremely
Speaker 1: super soft natural cotton. Every pair comes with arch support,
Speaker 1: a seamless toe, a cushioned footbed that's comfy but not
Speaker 1: too thick, all sorts of colors, patterns, lengths, styles, you
Speaker 1: name it. Bombas they look good, whatever the occasion. Best
Speaker 1: of all, for every Bombas purchase you make, Bombas is
Speaker 1: going to donate a pair to someone in need. If
Speaker 1: you're interested, If you haven't already gotten on the bandwagon,
Speaker 1: go to bom bas dot com slash solid today and
Speaker 1: you're gonna get twenty percent off your very first purchase.
Speaker 1: That's Bombas dot com slash Solid. You'll get twenty percent
Speaker 1: off final time Bombas dot com slash Solid. Check them
Speaker 1: on out.
Speaker 2: I haven't lost a single pair of my Bombas socks
Speaker 2: to elasticity issues.
Speaker 1: I haven't so many of them.
Speaker 2: They have held up one hundred percent. And if that's
Speaker 2: not an endorsement for a sock or two, I don't
Speaker 2: know what is. They are. They are iron men and
Speaker 2: women my socks.
Speaker 1: So we did send a call out very quickly. We'll
Speaker 1: go through these before we get to I don't know
Speaker 1: a handful of some spillover questions from our Q and A.
Speaker 1: We put a call out what other people wished for
Speaker 1: for bowlers. We've got a couple here. I'll read through
Speaker 1: these very quickly. Alabama or Clemson to miss the college
Speaker 1: football playoff and or title game.
Speaker 2: The overwhelming biggest response, people are sick of Alabama Clemson.
Speaker 2: At least that respond to our tweets. Playoff expansion. I
Speaker 2: never wish punt return touchdowns and block field goals.
Speaker 1: Those are always fun.
Speaker 2: That's a great answer.
Speaker 1: Another good answer our friend Bill Connolly, newly minted as
Speaker 1: an ESPN employee on playoff game telecasts for Football Championship Subdivision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm on there some FCS playoff broadcast.
Speaker 2: People will be very confused.
Speaker 1: An undefeated UCF that'd be great. Every conference champion is undefeated,
Speaker 1: forcing the committee to rank conferences.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not as intriguing as we'd like to think, because
Speaker 2: they'll just take what they think are the best teams.
Speaker 2: After watching King of Queen's reruns.
Speaker 1: Army beating Michigan. That's tasty.
Speaker 2: That is ann arbor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the SEC getting shut out of the college football.
Speaker 2: Playoff, Yeah, hold your breath, and.
Speaker 1: Then finally snow and monsoon and wind games.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course. Yes. How do you feel about the
Speaker 2: first answer? Like? What is yours? And I'm sure it'll
Speaker 2: evolve as we get closer to the season and as
Speaker 2: we you know, travel through the season. But is there
Speaker 2: an Alabama Clemson exhaustion for you? Is it because both
Speaker 2: of their quarterbacks are returning and are known, known excellent commodities.
Speaker 2: Is there something that you like about the you know,
Speaker 2: they're on a path to each other, that's what it
Speaker 2: feels like, the inevitability or are you ready for the
Speaker 2: sort of page to flip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a little bit of exhaustion, But for me,
Speaker 1: it's got more to do with Bama than it does
Speaker 1: with Clemson. Okay, a personality of these two programs is
Speaker 1: drastically different. And we've talked about this before, We've been
Speaker 1: to media days before. When Clemson comes out there and
Speaker 1: answers questions, it just feels very different than when Alabama does.
Speaker 1: It just feels it's got a different feel to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it starts at the top. It's the way they run
Speaker 1: the programs. They're both very successful in their own right,
Speaker 1: just feels to me like Alabama's been doing it for longer.
Speaker 1: This whole Clemson experiment, still a little bit newer, will
Speaker 1: eventually get there. With Clemson, two more years of Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to drive that bus pretty quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I had a pick between the two, I feel
Speaker 1: more exhaustion with Bama than I do Clemson. That being said,
Speaker 1: I am not against this what feels like inevitability of
Speaker 1: them getting together again in the playoff championship game because
Speaker 1: as it stands now, they probably are the two best teams.
Speaker 1: You want to reward excellence however you can, so.
Speaker 2: They've played many times in the playoffs. Now they are
Speaker 2: both recruiting now. I think Clemson has the number one
Speaker 2: class this season. I mean that will sign in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: So far they have the number one class in the country.
Speaker 2: So talent wise, they are comparable, if not already on
Speaker 2: the same level. They just put their entire defensive line
Speaker 2: into the NFL pretty early on in the draft. They
Speaker 2: you know, as you mentioned about Trevor Lawrence loaded to
Speaker 2: bear offensively. I am to me they are two of
Speaker 2: the least interesting things about the twenty nineteen season, not
Speaker 2: necessarily because I don't appreciate excellence because they're clearly excellent,
Speaker 2: but because they're pretty known right now, And I just
Speaker 2: I want to see what other teams look like. I
Speaker 2: want to see who else is able to come together.
Speaker 2: And there's very few teams that can claim a talent
Speaker 2: level on the level of Alabama and Clemson. But I
Speaker 2: just I want more, more wide open about the sport.
Speaker 2: And I know people will point to ratings available, you know,
Speaker 2: when you have known teams at the top. You know,
Speaker 2: people like dynasties, people like the big rivalry on top.
Speaker 2: I think other are casual fans, right These are not
Speaker 2: the people that we are necessarily speaking to right now.
Speaker 2: And so I feel what you feel. I feel your pain,
Speaker 2: and I think it'd be great if we had just
Speaker 2: a fresh you know, maybe one of these teams in
Speaker 2: the playoff, but we had a fresh three around them.
Speaker 2: Just I want interesting and new, That's what I always want.
Speaker 2: I want novel, I want unexpected, I want upsets, I
Speaker 2: want intrigue. And you can say a lot of great
Speaker 2: things about both of these programs, So I don't think
Speaker 2: those words can be can be used to describe them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, one of the things that comes along
Speaker 1: with doing a podcast, a national college football podcast since
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, is the fact that we tend
Speaker 1: to care about what makes late season interesting, what keeps
Speaker 1: the largest group of fans interested.
Speaker 2: We're week ten people on this show, and.
Speaker 1: This is the scenario that you define.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are week ten people.
Speaker 1: We got what five minutes left? Yeah, let's do some
Speaker 1: quick spillover questions that we had from last week. You
Speaker 1: want to do those? So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you are solely interested in listening to
Speaker 2: movie related college football questions, we're done. It's out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, we're clear. We have some non college football
Speaker 2: questions that we couldn't get to last week in our
Speaker 2: What'll it take?
Speaker 1: Is that what was called yes episode? Yes?
Speaker 2: What's the best and worst thing about each of your
Speaker 2: neighborhoods slash communities during the summer? For example, my pro
Speaker 2: is we have a great minor league baseball stadium. Hey
Speaker 2: shout out Iron Pigs and team that I enjoy going
Speaker 2: to see. Con is my next door neighbor feels the
Speaker 2: need to run a piece of power equipment constantly all
Speaker 2: weekend every weekend.
Speaker 1: That sounds like Mammy H's house. Okay, always a small
Speaker 1: motor running somewhere up there.
Speaker 2: What do you love about your general area in the summer.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, first off, everyone here is very friendly.
Speaker 1: But there's one of the locals here in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1: They've done this thing where they've created their own ice
Speaker 1: cream truck set up. Really, it's two kids that ride
Speaker 1: around on a bike and they've got a trailer and
Speaker 1: they've got a loud bluetooth speaker blaring out music that
Speaker 1: sounds like an ice cream truck. Yeah, and I never
Speaker 1: see anyone actually buy it, but they're clearly entrepreneurial.
Speaker 2: And you don't buy it, you don't support them.
Speaker 1: I would like to, I just haven't had the chance
Speaker 1: to yet. I'm open to it. But they ride around
Speaker 1: on this homemade ice cream trailer and I just get
Speaker 1: a kick out of it, So I appreciate the ingenuity.
Speaker 1: That one, to me, is probably the singular best thing
Speaker 1: in the community. The worst thing I'm pretty close right
Speaker 1: now to a retention pond, and sometimes when it rains
Speaker 1: in the summer we get a lot of bugs coming
Speaker 1: from that.
Speaker 2: Worst thing about in general where I live and is
Speaker 2: probably the train going down and trying to take the
Speaker 2: subway during the summer, you start looking like Patrick Ewing
Speaker 2: after a minute and a half, what do you look
Speaker 2: like the end of the third quarter? The best thing
Speaker 2: is and I don't know where this happens and where
Speaker 2: this doesn't happen across the country. Maybe it's super common,
Speaker 2: maybe it's not, but a lot of restaurants in Brooklyn
Speaker 2: have backyards, and that's great in the summer, especially as
Speaker 2: it cools down a little of that little bit at
Speaker 2: night or into like September, A good backyard meal at
Speaker 2: a restaurant, it's wonderful. That's that's probably my favorite thing.
Speaker 1: All right, what's the best piece of theater you have
Speaker 1: ever seen? It could be your favorite, but I'm talking
Speaker 1: about best produced. What think lights, choreography, directors, concepts, sound,
Speaker 1: overall production, blah blah.
Speaker 2: Blah, right right right. I saw Ragtime when I was
Speaker 2: like ten years old. It's very good. Yeah, it was excellent.
Speaker 2: Lion King was also really good.
Speaker 1: I cried during the opening scene of Lion King.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought you were going to say something
Speaker 2: completely like bring into noise, bring in defunk.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, okay. I saw the Lion King.
Speaker 2: You cried, you shed tears I.
Speaker 1: Shed tears actual mountain tiers during the opening scene of
Speaker 1: Lion King.
Speaker 2: So you are overwhelmed with emotion.
Speaker 1: Overwhelm You got the animals coming down the aisles. They're
Speaker 1: singing the sun. Yeah, man, I mean you're thinking about
Speaker 1: your own circle of life. That's right, going up the
Speaker 1: Pride Rock. That's emotional. Man.
Speaker 2: Apparently the new Lion King not so good. No, not
Speaker 2: so good. Superstar cast. But they basically did the same
Speaker 2: exact movie, same exact beats. Everything is the same. They
Speaker 2: just changed that it's computerized. Yeah, all right. I don't
Speaker 2: know what to tell you. What is your favorite summer
Speaker 2: blockbuster of all time?
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park?
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: Actually, no, no Independence Day.
Speaker 2: Independence Days my answer.
Speaker 1: Independence Day's the answer.
Speaker 2: I just you go into a movie knowing it's about
Speaker 2: an alien invasion. You come out of it with gold
Speaker 2: Bloom going up to set off a nuclear bomb in space.
Speaker 2: It's outstanding. I loved Independence Day so much. The Welcome
Speaker 2: to Earth come on Independence Day is wonderful. Jurassic Park
Speaker 2: is great. I just rewatched it. The dinosaurs at times
Speaker 2: hold up really well and at times like, oh that's rough.
Speaker 2: That vlaser after looks like a balloon a little bit,
Speaker 2: So Independence Day is getting my vote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ID four baby all the way.
Speaker 2: Final question, which route do you go on a honeymoon
Speaker 2: or week long vacation exclusively eat out, go shopping at
Speaker 2: a local supermarket, and cook for yourself a combination of
Speaker 2: the two of them. Also, what would be the preferred
Speaker 2: balance between the two. So if you're going on a
Speaker 2: fully robust vacation, time you ever go to the market
Speaker 2: to grab food to cook in your hotel room?
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking like a beach vacation. Okay, I got
Speaker 1: a honeymoon, but a week long beach vacation. Standard is
Speaker 1: where are you're staying? Paint me a picture staying in
Speaker 1: like a rental house, let's say, right a wile the beach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I prefer a seventy to thirty split of
Speaker 1: going out to eat versus staying in and cooking. Okay,
Speaker 1: my issue was staying in and cooking. Wire in the
Speaker 1: rental house is a lot of those weird supermarkets along
Speaker 1: the beach have poor selection and are overpriced. They're tough
Speaker 1: to get to. It's just more trouble than it's worth
Speaker 1: more often than not. But it is fun. It can
Speaker 1: be fun in your rental home, to cook a nice meal,
Speaker 1: to have a few drinks, to sit out in the balcony,
Speaker 1: enjoy the evening. There's a lot of value there. So
Speaker 1: I think seventy thirty is my split.
Speaker 2: If I'm staying in a hotel, I'm always eating out.
Speaker 2: I just and especially if it's a big vacation, if
Speaker 2: it's a honeymoon, if I'm in Rome, I'm just eating
Speaker 2: out every meal. That's that's what it is. If it
Speaker 2: is a rental house, beach, lake, mountain, country, whatever, especially
Speaker 2: if you're saying with other people in the house as well.
Speaker 2: I love a good even if it's overpriced, even if
Speaker 2: the selection isn't great. I love a good stock up
Speaker 2: grocery trip. I love that because, as everybody knows, and
Speaker 2: this is one of my favorite Trey Kirby life philosophies,
Speaker 2: anything goes on vacation, and vacation starts in the airport.
Speaker 2: Tie vacation starts in the airport, and so I love
Speaker 2: a good grocery stock up. The only thing that's kind
Speaker 2: of a wild card about cooking yourself and you have
Speaker 2: that group situation, is you got to put a lot
Speaker 2: of trust into other people's cooking ability, Like, oh, Mark,
Speaker 2: these burgers are not seasoned at all, and so that
Speaker 2: that becomes a bit of a wild card. But more
Speaker 2: often than not, I love a good stock up home grill.
Speaker 2: Enjoy yourself. Because here's the other thing. You go to
Speaker 2: a lot of these areas that are very vacation vacation
Speaker 2: y and tourist. The types of restaurants that are available
Speaker 2: nearby generally largely not great. Yeah, it's they're trying to
Speaker 2: cater to everybody, which means that it tends to be
Speaker 2: a little bit bland.
Speaker 1: Like a eight page menu. Yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I do like controlling the food element of it.
Speaker 2: If i'm if I do have like a full kitchen
Speaker 2: with other people or a grill with other people, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll go seventy thirty cooking from it for ourselves.
Speaker 1: All right. So that does it for today. Hope you
