Speaker 1: Burbs Burbs, North Burbs. I am excited to do this show.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: This is a I don't know if it's a Q

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: and A show as much as it is. We asked

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: a Q of people on social media and they submitted

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: a's as it relates to the past year of their

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: favorite program and their lives themselves and me personally, Ty,

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: because that's what you ask. How you if this is

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: a show about the best and worst decisions, I can

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: tell you in the short term, I just had a

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: slice of extremely dense chocolate cake going in great decision

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: as we stand right now, very confusing, possibly regretful decision.

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: So I'm here with you.

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: One decision that runs the full gamut is an interesting

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: perspective that I think we're going to explore a little

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,400

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: which I must add you did a pizza bake for

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: the first time on twitch stream. Got a little bit

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: of traction. Folks were asking some questions out there. Mom

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: h referred to you just on the sly as Danny Rubentino. Oh,

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: I like that after seeing what you did with pizza.

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: So she's very excited and wants to see more of

43
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: your pizza bakes. I don't know if that's something you

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: can accommodate, if.

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Only for her.

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: Secondly, I've got a big game coming up. I know

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: I've been playing the old NCAA franchise on there. M M.

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: I've got a big game coming up against a friend

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: either Friday or Saturday night. We haven't decided yet, but

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: stay tuned to our social media channels and of course

51

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: information about when that big matchup is going to occur.

53
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: But I'm getting myself mentally prepared to ye, I can't wait.

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: Were you were struggling last night when during your do

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: you want me to want to temple you?

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: No? I was texting you during the the stream I

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: was watching. It was a field last night. It was

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: in a three all. A little before halftime, you threw

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: an ugly, ugly pick you were you got an explosive

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: play before halftime. I didn't watch the second half. I

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: assume you held on. I want an overtime against Temple nice.

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: A rock fight in the first half. Second half picked up.

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: But anyway, we got a big matchup coming up against

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: a human opponent in the next couple of days. So again,

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: that's out at Twitch dot tv slash Solid Verbal on

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: tonight's show. We promised you we're going to be doing

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: one Q and a show per month throughout the off season.

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Today is that show, and we've got a unique spin

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: on it. Dan looking back looking forward, chocolate cake dilemma,

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: anundrum if you will, decisions decisions is what we are

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: titling this here content. What what decisions decisions are we.

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: So I asked verbalers to let us know what is

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: the absolute best decision that their favorite team or program

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: made in the last year. So it could be something

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: on the field, it could be something as it relates

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: to hiring a coach, retaining a coach, uniform, all sorts

78
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: of things, anything related to your program. And then personally,

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: so the best decision, the worst decision about your program,

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: and then personally, what was the best decision. Obviously, these

81
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: past three hundred and sixty five days have been largely

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: very different for all of us. So best and worst

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: decision you yourself made. That's sort of issued at everybody

84
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: listening who responded, and we got some incredible responses, and

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to give mine for my team and for

86
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: my life. I hope you are as well. I know

87
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: you said you had a huge professional reveal. I don't

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: know what that means, but I'm excited to get into it. Well,

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: where do we want to start? Do we want to

90
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: start with our teams?

91
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: We want to start with our person What makes the

92
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: most sense for you?

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: You mean like, should we start with college football or human? Yeah?

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Why are you correct? Oh? College football?

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: So the best decision that my team made in twenty

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: twenty was an easy one, and that was joining the ACC.

97
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame did so out of necessity. I don't know

98
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: what it would have looked like if they hadn't. My

99
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: guess is they still would have found a way to

100
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: play games, but it wouldn't nearly have been as high

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: profile as it ended up being. Huge win against Clemson,

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: obviously made the ACC Championship, obviously made the playoff game,

103
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: so it was, by all accounts a successful season. Did

104
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: not end the way many Notre Dame fans and I'm

105
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: sure Notre Dame players would have hoped. But I think,

106
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: just in terms of what was the best decision they made,

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: Jack Swarbrick pulling the trigger early joining the ACC, becoming

108
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: that fifteenth team on a one time only basis, In

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: my book, that's a huge dub. I hope they end

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: up going in that direction moving forward, whether it's with

111
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: the ACC, the Big Ten, some other conference. I've long

112
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: been a proponent of Notre Dame joining and ending the

113
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: independence when it makes financial league yea, yeah, well Aliga, yeah,

114
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: League one, Uber eats whatever works for them, I'm fine with.

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: But I think it was a huge move, a great

116
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: move by Swarbrick, and it was cool to see it.

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: If that's really the only glimpse we're going to get

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: at them in a conference, what's the what was the

119
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: worst move of the past year from Notre Dame. I

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: struggle with the worst move or worst decision? Yeah, well,

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you could, you could, you could

122
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: split hairs here if you really wanted to.

123
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that I had trouble coming up with

124
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: a worst decision, a decision that I thought.

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: It's all relative too. It doesn't mean you have to

126
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: come up with a catastrophe, but just in terms of

127
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: a very successful year.

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, there were no catastrophes. I will say this,

129
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: the one decision that I am wondering about, I am

130
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: curious about, Like the chocolate cake and the belly state.

131
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Of things, I'm in a strange place is.

132
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: The Tommy Reess decision at to go with Tommy Rees

133
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: at offensive coordinator. And I struggle even saying that aloud

134
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: because I really like Tommy Reese.

135
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: I really like him.

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: Perhaps I'm biased because we spent so much time talking

137
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: about him on the show and Reesis became part of

138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: our content for like four straight years. I really want

139
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: him to work out. I do think he's got a

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: promising future as a head football coach at some point

141
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: in time. And I totally get why Notre Dame would

142
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: appoint him to that position. But he's pre damn green

143
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: before taking over the Raids, and so not to say

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 2: anybody else, Chip Long any other coordinator was gonna get

145
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: more blood out of the stone that was Ian Book

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: at quarterback. But that's not even fair good quarterback.

147
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: Sure, but I just.

148
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: I need more information before I'm fully comfortable with that

149
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: as a good, long lasting, sustainable decision.

150
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Well also, I mean I don't want to get too

151
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: in the way. This is well trod territory, if that's

152
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: a word. You know, what if Notre Dame upgrades from

153
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Tommy Reese to I don't know what, Phil Longo at

154
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina, somebody who has been consistently a good coordinator

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: or something like that with a lot more experience. Isn't

156
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: ian book Notre dame offense beyond merely good? I don't know.

157
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean it also depends on like Notre Dame didn't

158
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: really have killers at receiver, and it just you know,

159
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: there was a ceiling for Notre Dame's offense. So I

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: think that you qualified it. I think you couched it

161
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: pretty well.

162
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, the receiver component of this is important.

163
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: There were plenty of players with these guys just weren't

164
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: getting open. Yeah, and there was no separation. That does

165
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: not all fall on the shoulder of ian Book. Ian

166
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: Book is not without his own limitations, but within the system,

167
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 2: ian Book was very good. Ianbook won a lot of games.

168
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 2: Ian Book got him to a conference championship game in

169
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: the playoff, so say what you want, but he got

170
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: the job done when he had to. I think we're

171
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: going to find out more about Reese this coming season,

172
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: because you know, whether it's Jack Cohne in the short

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: term probably will be, whether it's a guy like a

174
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: Tyler Buckner.

175
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: New recruit.

176
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: In the long term that remains to be seen. But

177
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: he will now have an opportunity to really put his

178
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: stamp on the program moving forward with a fresh face

179
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: at quarterback, which is where he should really excel being

180
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: so he knows the position well from his own time

181
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. So we'll see.

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Oregon's best decision was to make a defensive adjustment later

183
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: on in the season. They were running some very strange

184
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: looks which had the defensive line two three yards off

185
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to try to confuse and do

186
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: all sorts of I don't know, stunting and caveon. Thibodeau

187
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: ended up at like middle linebacker in some set and

188
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: then they sort of scrapped that and went back to

189
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: what worked and absolutely demolished USC upfront in that very

190
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: odd happenstance of a Pac twelve championship game. But that

191
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: was a fantastic decision, and of course Andy Avlos rode

192
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: a stronger and to the regular season before bowlseason to

193
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the head coaching job at Boise State, so good for him.

194
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: That was a very good decision to get back to

195
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: what worked for the Oregon defense. You know, the hiring

196
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: of Joe moorehead was before three hundred and sixty five

197
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: days ago. That was a late January, I believe, so

198
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't count. But I think in terms of twenty twenty,

199
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: that was a fantastic move and I stand by it,

200
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: even though the offense didn't really fully work out for Oregon.

201
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I would say the worst thing that Oregon did was

202
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: probably the belief in quarterback probably lasted too long when

203
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: it was looking like it was not going to be

204
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck, rising to the occasion later on in the

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: season in those games against you know, Oregon State and

206
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: Cal and there was just it was tough. It was

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: a tough watch once it was clear that if he

208
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: was to be pressured, it was not going to go

209
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: well for Oregon's offense. So that was probably the worst move.

210
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: But all in all, a very positive year for Oregon

211
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: football and an abbreviated season to still win the Pac twelve.

212
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: So again, it's all a relative complaint. Do you have

213
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: a personal best and worst decision you made last year?

214
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: And oh Dan, Oh Dan, I think so Okay, the

215
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: best decision I made was to take up home projects.

216
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: And I've said this before. This isn't going to come

217
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: as any surprise to folks who listened to this show,

218
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: but I think taking up home projects, anything that gets

219
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: you away from a screen, the best has really been rewarding.

220
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: So we painted like five yeah, five rooms in this house.

221
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: Maybe not five rooms, it felt.

222
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: Like five rooms. But you also tried Korean barbecue for

223
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: the first time within three hundred and sixty five days ago. Yeah, correct,

224
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: that's true.

225
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: The last time was right before we all went into

226
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: quarantine up in New York with you. But no, the

227
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: home project's bit painting has been has really been like

228
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: more fun than I expected, if only because again there's

229
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: no computer screen involved. We also committed to buying a

230
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: fence for the solid pup, but because everything is on

231
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: back order and literally the entire world had the exact

232
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: same idea, we have yet to receive said fence. So

233
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: if we're going chocolate cake, this is the decision that

234
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: felt good on the way in, but has felt a

235
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: little less good each day since we're still waiting, and furthermore,

236
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: since they still have a huge deposit check that I

237
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: put down on said fence.

238
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Wow, so hopefully we're gonna get good for you at

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: some point here.

240
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Worst decision worst decision Dan was buying a new microwave. Okay,

241
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: why worst decision was buying a new microwave. We had

242
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: the unfortunate circumstance of the microwave that came with the house.

243
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: I think it was the original microwave when the house

244
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: was built. That thing went could put around mid April.

245
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: First decision in a year, it is, there's more mid

246
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: April when could put made an awful sound whenever you

247
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: turn the thing on.

248
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: No longer heated any food.

249
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: Just so happens that a appliance dealer was offering a

250
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: Memorial Day sale shortly thereafter, could get a really good

251
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: I think it was a ge brand microwave for a

252
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: fraction of the price. They cumming they'd install it. They'd

253
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: been here before, so it was a good deal.

254
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Called them up. It fit the space.

255
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: They came out, they tried to install it, and that's

256
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: when all hell broke loose, Dan, All hell broke loose

257
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: as they popped the old microwave out and put the

258
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: new one in. They come to discover that the door

259
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: only opens about a quarter of the way. And that's

260
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 2: because my kitchen has an odd can figuration. Most microwaves.

261
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: When you've got an above the range microwave like most

262
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: people do, or a lot of people do. You don't

263
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: have an obstruction blocking the door from opening, But in

264
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: the case of our kitchen, there's actually sort of like

265
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: a mini wall there.

266
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: This is almost like you're filibustering a college football podcast.

267
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: This is exactly what's happening. The door wouldn't open. It

268
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't open, and nobody, nobody makes one that will unless

269
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: I want to spend like fifteen hundred dollars to get

270
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: a microwave that opens top to bottom or bottom of

271
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: the top. So you know what's happened, Dan, what's happened

272
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: is after trying another microwave, after getting my money back,

273
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: after trying poorly to install the old microwave back into

274
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: the space, I now have a giant gaping hole where

275
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: my microwave used to be. And I haven't had a

276
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: microwave for close to a year. First world problem.

277
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this is even first world problems. This is

278
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the only person with the problem. This minute be their

279
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: biggest decision. It's a beautiful You can't what would you

280
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: do if you could warm food up in a microwave.

281
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: I have a toaster, and I have a regular oven,

282
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I have a stove. I have used these things as well,

283
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: steamer basket. None of them are.

284
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: As convenient as a microwave. Okay, don't pooh pooh this.

285
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: This is microwave dietribe. I will postpone my best and

286
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: worst life decisions until the end of the show. Here's

287
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: the teas. They both involve an edible. Oh okay, they

288
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: will involve an edible, and one of them at least

289
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: involves you. So there's that. Okay, okay, let's go to

290
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: some college football answers from fans from across the country.

291
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: We've got some really good ones. We're gonna start with Instagram. Actually,

292
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: usually we save Instagram for last. We're gonna start with this.

293
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I've got Sam saying Texas fired Tom Herman, hooray, but

294
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: also set Bijehan Robinson for Keyante Ingram for way too long.

295
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, We've got a bunch of

296
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Michigan people saying the worst decision that Michigan made this

297
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: year was not firing Jim Harbaugh. Yeah wow, interesting, Wow, interesting.

298
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: That's who is there a guy? This is the question

299
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: that nobody's been able to answer.

300
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, there's always a guy. Well, there's

301
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: always a guy. I get it. But if not Horbaw,

302
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: then who?

303
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: And who are you expecting to come into the situation

304
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: and make an immediate impact that's going to turn them

305
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: into like an eleven win team. Is that guy out there?

306
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

307
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: Harbaugh still feels like a good coach. He's getting paid

308
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: a ton. Maybe he's getting a little long in the

309
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: tooth in ann Arbor at this point, and it's not

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: going to be a long term situation. But I just

311
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: until I get an answer, an obvious answer to if

312
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: not Harball, then who, it's really hard for me to

313
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: take it seriously despite all the frustrations that I think

314
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: is associated.

315
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: With him always gonna have. You know, Luke Fickle, Matt Campbell,

316
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: there are coaches in the Midwest with a Midwestern footprint

317
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: who I'm sure would be happy to take over an

318
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: enormous program with enormous resources. But yeah, you're right, and

319
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Luke Fickele, obviously with his Ohio State ties, is it

320
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: complicates it. But yeah, there are guys, Tye, there are

321
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: guys that are willing to take six and a half

322
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: seven million dollars to Candle Premier program.

323
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: I can't believe you poop pooed my microwave story. This

324
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: has been very traumatic over the last year.

325
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Dan, It's just been a really tough year for a

326
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: lot of people. And here you are saying your worst decision.

327
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't the worst thing that happened in the world

328
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, I know, but my worst decision was

329
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: buying that microwave.

330
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Continue. We had some Georgia fans say, best decision starting,

331
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: finally starting JT. Daniels worst waiting to play JT. Daniels. Yeah,

332
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: that long? Well was that was that a decision though

333
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: to wait to play him?

334
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: Or was it?

335
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: Was it more a matter of medical clearance? I mean

336
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: it could have been out of an abundance of caution, Okay,

337
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: And then I don't know, who knows. We've got a

338
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: lot of Florida letting Kyle Trask really shine and trusting

339
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: him and opening up the playbook and really letting him

340
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: do what he does best, which is pick apart defenses.

341
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: And the worst obviously throwing a shoe key moment against LSU.

342
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: The shoe was terrible. I've got a Notre dame joining

343
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: the ACC as the best decision, accepting playoff invitation as

344
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: Notre dame in that nice place of like, Hey, we

345
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: lost the most respectively of most teams who played Alabama,

346
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: I guess outside of Florida. So there's that. Let's see

347
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: what else we have we have from Damn Klobacar long

348
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: time for baller. The best decision Perdue made was related

349
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: to their uniforms. Everything else was the bad decision I

350
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: was made. Yeah, I was waiting for.

351
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: Some uniform hot takes here. I thought I thought we'd

352
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: get more of them. But okay, good.

353
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: He also gave of us. His best life decision was

354
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: buying home gym equipment the day things started shutting down,

355
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: so we had a squat rack all year. So, in

356
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, Dan Klobokar likely likely has terrific glutes,

357
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: great glutes, he just tree trunks his thighs is if

358
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: he's been squatting more consistently than most at home this year.

359
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: His worst is not buying a nice office chair for

360
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: his house. Yeah, that's key, Interesting, it's key. Okay, we

361
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of JT. Daniels. Best decision for BYU

362
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: going with Zach Wilson, letting him shine. I don't know

363
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: how much of a choice they had. But the worst

364
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: decision playing Coastal within sixty hours Coastal Carolina. M. Yeah, Yeah,

365
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: that was you know what, I think that was a

366
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: great decision. You just needed to stop them a little

367
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, I still think it was a good decision.

368
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: It was good. It was a good decision. Sometimes you

369
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: need to think bigger picture. That was a really good

370
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: decision for a college football season that needed a little

371
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: bit of a boost at that point in time. Everybody

372
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: watched that game. Everybody watched that game, and it was

373
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: like the best game of the year.

374
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: We had some Ohio State fans talk about a great

375
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: decision in bringing in Trey Sermon as a transfer running

376
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: back from Oklahoma and really leaning on him when things

377
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: got dicey both against Northwestern and Clemson. Certainly, Tray Sermon

378
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: more than carried his weight did his part to power

379
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: Ohio State forward. And then we got a lot of

380
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: both Sean Wade and to a greater extent, tough Borland

381
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: on an Island decision making. I guess Sean Wade was

382
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: sort of moved from the inside and playing sort of

383
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: nickel corner's safety snaps into being an outside corner, and

384
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: that didn't fully go well for Ohio state. But then yeah,

385
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: tough Borland, especially highlighted by on An Island against DeVante Smith.

386
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: It got dicey tie. I don't know if you remember,

387
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Oh I remember did get dicey with a linebacker on

388
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith.

389
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: Let me pose one to you a different situation from

390
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: the perspective of the PAC twelve. Is the best decision

391
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: firing Larry Scott and then or letting Larry Scott go,

392
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: and the worst decision deciding to play a season at all.

393
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it was a bad decision to

394
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: play a season. The PAC twelve was able to play football.

395
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: They took a lot of precautions, I think all in all,

396
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the PAC twolve didn't have a playoff caliber team,

397
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: so it's not like they quitted themselves terribly by playing.

398
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: The Larry Scott thing is tbd. We got to see,

399
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: just like you mentioned with Jim Harbaugh, who do they

400
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: bring in? What's the impact? Yeah, what is the reaction?

401
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: What does the money look like in the next TV deal?

402
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: What does the distribution look like? Because right now, the

403
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: PAC twelve before gambled on people being interested in the

404
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and its network getting barriers to help foot

405
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: the bill by saying, oh, Direct TV wants to pay

406
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: however many cents per whatever, and it worked out financially,

407
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: it did not work out financially. And so what does

408
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: it look like as the broadcast landscape? And I don't

409
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: know how much you want to get into this, but

410
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: like I have no idea what broadcast TV slash streaming

411
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: is and look like in two years, everybody's sort of

412
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: starting their own service and saying you want HBO, Well,

413
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: you don't need Comcast, you don't need AT and T.

414
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: I go AT and T. I guess owns HBO now,

415
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: but you don't need some sort of cable service, just

416
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: just grab HBO. And so as that changes, like if

417
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: you don't care about PAC twelve, Big twelve or Big

418
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: ten football and you just want sec ACC, we got

419
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: you just the ESPN app, that's all you need. And

420
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: so they're things like that that are going to be fascinating,

421
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: with the PAC twelve right now looking like of the

422
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: Power five conferences the least attractive from a financial perspective

423
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: right now.

424
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: I talked about this with Matt Brown, and so let's

425
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: let's play a more futuristic version of this same game.

426
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: If I told you in three years and we'll get

427
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: back to the responses here.

428
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: We got many of them.

429
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: If I told you in three years that the PAC

430
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: twelve cut a deal with Google and YouTube, and it's

431
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: a different kind of deal. It's not necessarily going to

432
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: be standard cable, but they're going to put every game

433
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: on YouTube that you can watch and then some of those.

434
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: So any any digital device, any ott any phone, tablet, laptop,

435
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: everything on YouTube. PA twelve could be on YouTube.

436
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: You can watch any PACK twelve game wherever you want

437
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: on YouTube, and they will, you know, maybe they'll sell

438
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: some of that back to a network.

439
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: If they're say they're going to sell your data, Yeah,

440
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: going to do that.

441
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: But three years from now, if you find out that

442
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: this is the deal that the PAC twelve cut, knowing

443
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: what you know now, is that best to decision?

444
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Worst decision? I don't think it's answerable right now, just

445
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: because we don't know what the actual product is. You

446
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: could watch PAC twelve games if you wanted to. For

447
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: the most part, you couldn't watch maybe ten thirty PM

448
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: Eastern Colorado Arizona kickoff without the PAC twelve network. But

449
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: the majority of big middle and not as good games

450
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: in terms of quality of matchup, you could watch people

451
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: just didn't a lot of the time. So sure it

452
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: makes it easier to watch. But if the product isn't

453
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: any good and isn't attractive to somebody in Minneapolis or

454
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Nashville or Orlando or something, it doesn't I don't know,

455
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean all that much to me. You still

456
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: need the killers at the top of every conference, and

457
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: that's what the PAC twelve doesn't have, plural killers. What

458
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: else you got here? Pitt not accepting a bull bit

459
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: as a best decision. I'm cool with that. Yeah. If

460
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: players were just wanting to get home for the holidays

461
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: and sick of quarantining and abting by extreme, extremely tight

462
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: protocol on campus and they wanted to get home and

463
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: spend time with family in a safe way, great with it. Yeah,

464
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: it's not it's worst decision. Keeping Sean Watson at coordinator.

465
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't think you can really

466
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: fault anyone, be it a player or a team for

467
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: the opt out.

468
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: It was just it was a goof year. Yeah.

469
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of I think like minded Tennessee

470
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: fans here who said that the best decision was firing

471
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pruitt. Worst decision was extending.

472
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruett before the season. It's easy to forget that

473
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: they did that before the seat. We have a lot

474
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: of people regretful about not working out, so not having

475
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: Dan Clobacar glutes that they had the time and or

476
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: ability to. But you know, it was it was tough

477
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: for all of us to just get up off the couch,

478
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: get away from the desk, and as lines blurred for

479
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: a lot of us between work and personal time, you know,

480
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: it became more and more difficult, especially this past month

481
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: or so. Here in Chicago. Worst decision, Yeah, there's more

482
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruitz scrolling through here. Oh I like this one. Well,

483
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: now I lost it. We have not buying bitcoin at

484
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: twelve k. I don't understand that per se, But it

485
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: looks like a Nebraska fan. So it was a tough

486
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: year for him. Best for a Penn State fan. James

487
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: Franklin using the transfer portal to add players. Worst James

488
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Franklin completely neglecting to use the transfer portal up until

489
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: like two months ago. Oh god, yeah, yeah. We had

490
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: some with like not bringing in competition for Sean Clifford

491
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: and seeing what they had in Roberson? Is that who

492
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Penn State fans one of the guys they were clamoring for.

493
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I assume in situations like that that it's extremely rare.

494
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong about Robertson. I don't know. I haven't

495
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: seen him in live game action. Nobody has, but just

496
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: generally speaking, where it's just like, why aren't we seeing

497
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: what we have in this backup? The answer is generally

498
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: not always, but a good healthy percentage of the time

499
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: they're not good in practice, and so it becomes very

500
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: difficult to play somebody in a game that you've watched

501
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: with your own eyes against a scout team be not good.

502
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true about Roberson, but that

503
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: to me from everything I have heard about various teams

504
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: and when people are clamoring for a backup, that's generally

505
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: the reason why. Or they're hurt, or they don't know

506
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the playbook like that. Coaches can be overly loyal, for sure,

507
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: but there's generally more ink to be spilled about the

508
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: reason for that ambivalence. I would say, you can't even

509
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: use the red.

510
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: Shirt this year, not anymore because of the eligibility.

511
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, you also had four games too, so with that

512
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: new role. Yeah, and I see that.

513
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: We also have a comment here about making a move

514
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: to get Mike yoursitch getting rid of our boy Kirk Sharraka.

515
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: Which is a bummer because we were pretty excited about

516
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Sharaka Shraka.

517
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: But it seems like that was not working. And I

518
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: do give James Franklin credit for acknowledging as much and

519
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: pulling the trigger on that one, making the move to

520
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: get your stitch. Now, I guess it remains to be

521
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: seen how successful that's going to be because we still

522
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: have big questions at quarterback and you know, I don't

523
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: know if your stitch you'll be able to clear those up.

524
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: It's amazing to look at the quarterback transfer portal and

525
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: look at the number of quarterbacks who as and this

526
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: is not a I'm not going to use this opportunity

527
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: to name specific names because it's one of them. As

528
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: my resolution indicated, I'm trying to be less mean about

529
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: players playing poorly because they're just college kids and there

530
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: are a number of is always why a player doesn't

531
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: sort of live up to expectations. But it's amazing looking

532
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: through the transfer portal and looking at the just the

533
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: C minus chairs being reshuffled across the sport at quarterback

534
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: and wondering, what does this coach see in this quarterback

535
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: that makes them think that they are an answer if

536
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: it's at a similar level, if you're going from the

537
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: Big twelve to the SEC, if youre going from the

538
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Big ten to the ACC and so forth. I do

539
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: always wonder when a quarterback is pretty obviously not a

540
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: Power five quarterback and then he just goes to another

541
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: Power five program. I always wonder is it just a

542
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: numbers thing? Is it just that, Like it's always very

543
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: confusing to me. But I guess you got to find

544
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: roster spots, and you know, it's all variable every year.

545
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does that ever like strike you when

546
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you look at like twenty four to seven does a

547
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: fantastic job with their they have a transfer portal, rundown

548
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: page yep. And typically when a quarterback struggles at a

549
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: mid level Power five school, really struggles to get better,

550
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: improve at all, and then just goes to a similarly

551
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: sized program and another conference, do you think it's Is

552
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: it the confidence, the unwavering confidence that you're a better

553
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: coach and you can get the best out of this

554
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: guy in a way that the previous guy couldn't. Do

555
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: you think that's what it is like, I don't, I

556
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: don't understand. I guess you just kind of fill out

557
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: a room sometimes. But it's wild to me seeing some

558
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: of these transfers.

559
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: Well, this is not a profession that is short on ego.

560
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: So I have no doubt that there is that there

561
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: is part of it. And we've seen that in professional sports,

562
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: journeymen who have bounced around from team to team to team,

563
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: you know, especially in the NFL, each coach trying to

564
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: get the most out of that player, and in a

565
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: lot of cases it doesn't work. In some cases it does.

566
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: But well, to be clear, the NFL are professional players. Sure,

567
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: these these are on some level good players. I know,

568
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: Like there are guys like Nate Peterman who were just

569
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: like nightmares for the Bills and somehow keeps getting backup jobs.

570
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: I know there's always gonna be those types of guys.

571
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I think he was one who was pretty bad for

572
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the Bills. Right, He's very bad, extremely bad, very bad

573
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I understand when a power five quarterback

574
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: doesn't work out at a major place or a somewhat

575
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: major place and they go down to play for a conference,

576
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: USA school whatever, Like, okay, cool, maybe that makes more

577
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: sense for them. But yeah, like I'm doing my best

578
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: not to name names here, ty, I really am, but

579
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be specific. But it is always

580
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: wild to me when I see, like, oh, man, this

581
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: guy ended up here. What do they think they're getting?

582
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: What do they really think? Like, you're just getting an

583
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 1: emergency second half guy if the starter goes down. I guess, so,

584
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's what it is. I guess it's that

585
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: confidence that, Okay, it didn't work out here. Maybe there

586
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: were reasons. Maybe it's an injury thing. Maybe he had

587
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: a really bad breakup right before the season. His head

588
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: wasn't in the game, but now he looks like he's

589
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: ready for a fresh start. That's I think the hope.

590
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: But man, yeah, year over year, as more guys leave,

591
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: it's just wild to see the evaluation when there's so

592
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: much tape out there.

593
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: The hope is that these guys blow up and that

594
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: they end up contributing as a starter, But there's probably

595
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: a depth angle as well, you know, the flip side.

596
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: I guess the counter argument having all that tape, is

597
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: you kind of do know what you're getting. And sure,

598
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: for some coaches, I'll admit it's not like these guys

599
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: are transferring because they want to be backups, right, And

600
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure no coach would admit to that either. But

601
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: having more tape on some of these kids does give

602
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: you a sense for what you got and if you

603
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: need depth, perhaps that's one way to plug the gap.

604
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating with the class of now

605
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: what twenty twenty one having not made official visits, A

606
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: lot of them made on official visits, and of course

607
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks commit earlier on in the cycle, so potentially these

608
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: guys have been on a number of campuses and coaches

609
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: have been to camps or whatever, have hosted them at

610
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: camps and have seen these guys throw. We have seen

611
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: quarterback movement in a way that we've never seen, and

612
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: just general player transferring in ways that we haven't seen.

613
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: Did you see that more and more schools are bringing

614
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: in heads of transfer recruiting. Yeah, not just ordinary you know,

615
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: high school JC whatever, just like who are we like?

616
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: I guess it's ear to the ground talking to high

617
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: school coaches seven on seven, coaches like, wow, this guy

618
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: just got benched, and you know he's open to a

619
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: fresh start somewhere new like that. And I don't even

620
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: say any of this in any sort of malicious way,

621
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: like it just sort of seems like a reality, a

622
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: necessary reality now now.

623
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: Well, as Andy Staples said last week on the show,

624
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: the emergence of a new transfer rule is sure coinciding

625
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: with the nil legislation, which is going to hit in July,

626
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: and it probably puts us in a position as college

627
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: football fans to see some really weird stuff that maybe

628
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: we don't even.

629
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: Know about quite yet.

630
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: So his point all along was that the transfer rule

631
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: may actually be the bigger deal.

632
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: And to your point.

633
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Here, Director of Transfer Recruiting, my guess is you'll see

634
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: more of that.

635
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you're absolutely gonna see more. I'm just I

636
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: wonder what offenses look like moving forward. It's this very

637
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: strange feeling that I have where I'm like, man, I am,

638
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: I am pro players finding their best fit. But at

639
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: the same time, if you're in a system for two

640
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: three years and then you're going to a new school,

641
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: you're getting used to a new campus and a new whatever,

642
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: a new apartment, like everything is new and you're thrust

643
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: into a starting job like it's its own difficulties, Like

644
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: for every you know, Jalen Hurts thriving at Oklahoma after

645
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, proving himself to be a very good quarterback

646
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: at Alabama, but you know there's a younger guy who

647
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: has overtaken him Intua. For all of those, it's just

648
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: like hoping for the best, going somewhere new and hoping

649
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: you pick up an offense, hoping you click with receivers,

650
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: Hope you click with an offensive coordinator, Hope personal stuff

651
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get in the way because you have a girlfriend

652
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: back at your first school, and now you're across the

653
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: country from your parents and they can't come to see

654
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: your games. And that's very stric Like I wonder what

655
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: it's like, And maybe that's a show we can do.

656
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: What it's like transferring after two, three, four years where

657
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: you're starting over from scratch in terms of learning how

658
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: to lead a team. More importantly, are.

659
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 2: You sure that the feeling that you're getting is not

660
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: just too much colbrew? Because I know you've been hitting

661
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: that pretty hard tie over the last.

662
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: Time cold brew. So I got a new grinder. I

663
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: got a new grinder, and it's it does a fantastic

664
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: job because you want a courser grind with coldbrew because

665
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: it sits in it for a long time, so you

666
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: don't need to immediately extract everything from the beans. I

667
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: don't do colbrew, you know, I know, I know you don't.

668
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's all the sun in my heart.

669
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: I don't like it. So I'm learning here. Yeah. No,

670
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm only drinking one cup of cold brew a day.

671
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: It just happens to be It happens to be pretty explosive.

672
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: So I mean, I also had chocolate cake right before

673
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: the show. I just I honestly think, like what Like

674
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: Tate Martel is an example where he has an incredible

675
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: amount of natural talent, but it hasn't worked out for him.

676
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: And what is it like bouncing we had Tate four Cia,

677
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: anybody named Tate or any McCaffrey other than Christian. What

678
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: is it like to go to a place with a

679
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: good amount of hype, have it not work out for

680
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and then be thrust into a almost savior role. Yeah,

681
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: thrust hi, I'll say it. No, I don't know. No,

682
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. It's like we think about things in a

683
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: very professional sports free agent mindset, And it just feels

684
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: so much different when you're nineteen and just trying to

685
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: figure out the world rather than you're twenty nine and

686
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: you get traded and you're going to be a stretch

687
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: for And it's fine, you can pick up a new

688
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: NBA offense, if you can hit a three, if you

689
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: can guard multiple positions, you're fine. You know you're a pro.

690
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: You sign up for this. But I just, you know,

691
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: I wonder what are the struggles and challenges that we're

692
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: not thinking of if we just look at these players

693
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: as quarterbacks or defensive tackles, Because it just it feels

694
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: like there's so much more to it. All right, what

695
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: else do we got here? We got time for a

696
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: couple more, all right, you tell me, you have the

697
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: list in front of you. What has popped out to

698
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Best decision making the change from Rocky Lombardi,

699
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: who's now in the transfer portal, to Peyton Thorn at quarterback, Right,

700
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: that's what we got. A decision.

701
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: We've got Clemson from Will saying the best was giving

702
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: Tony Elliott a raise. The worst was not changing the

703
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: defensive strategy versus Ohio State in the second half. Not

704
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: sure how much that would have affected things, but adjustments

705
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: could have helped. With the question mark at the end,

706
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 2: here's an interesting one. Okay, so thank you, will best

707
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: and worst decision? Getting really good at using zoom?

708
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I like that.

709
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: That's a very interesting answer. Will you're good at zoom?

710
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 2: I guess it's hard to be bad at zoom?

711
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: Ty, I am on a zoom call. Anytime I'm on

712
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: a zoom call, you're also on that call. To put

713
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: it that way, So I'm not on that many. You're

714
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: on much more because you have a job that requires

715
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: that sort of communication across different countries and languages and

716
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: Geneva conventions, things like that. Correct, that's right. Are you

717
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: good at zoom? Have you gotten better at zoom?

718
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's a thing that you

719
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: get better at, per se, I've gotten more used to it.

720
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: You ever attend a zoom call with a seventy seven

721
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: year old tie. You can get better and you can

722
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: get worse. That's fair. I'll tell you what I have lately.

723
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: I have a little case of the zoom yips lately.

724
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, I have a little case of zoom yips.

725
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: Happened to me again today. What does that mean?

726
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: I got a new headset, and the headset's got a

727
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: different configuration for the mute button. And so now I'm

728
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: starting to be the guy who starts talking only to

729
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: hear somebody say in my headset, we can't hear it.

730
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: You must be on mute. Hmmm, Ti there, Tie, Tie,

731
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Tie you there. Yeah, God, I'm mute. Tie. That's exactly

732
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: what's happening.

733
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: And then, of course, you know, you always have the

734
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 2: go to line like, oh, sorry, sorry, I was on mute.

735
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, I get a new headset.

736
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: Computers acting up, A lot of computer's been acting up

737
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: over the last year, but ultimately it's easier er. So

738
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: I've been pretty good at avoiding that. I do have

739
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: a little case of the yips right now that I'm

740
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: trying to work through.

741
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: Was there a worse decision than hiring Wow from Ed

742
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Orgeron in terms of coordinators this past year, in terms

743
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: of available talent, strength of an opponent's offense or defense.

744
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: Wherever you hired, there were some bad decisions, but LSU

745
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: doing that, I know they lso improved over the course

746
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: of the season somewhat, and they had, you know, a

747
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: ton of injury stuff. I think they finished eightieth or

748
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: something like that, so below average in terms of defensive

749
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: points per drive, below average from where they were, and

750
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: considering the talent level, I guess it's all relative. But yeah,

751
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: considering the paycheck that he drew, that's a pretty bad

752
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: one time.

753
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a That was a lot of money, Dan, Yeah, yeah,

754
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: a lot of money for something that didn't really work

755
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: out that well.

756
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: No, Kansas not working out under less miles. That was

757
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: not this past year Kevin Sumlin hired. I think that

758
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: was a great decision to go in a new direction

759
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: for Arizona. Yes, I agree. I thought that was a

760
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: great decision. I promised, What did I say? I was

761
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: going to discuss the best and worst decision was involving

762
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: an edible. Yeah, please continue. Okay, if people are still

763
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: listening to this very silly, weird show, I'm not super

764
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: into pot and I don't know. I'm just not and

765
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: that's okay, And if you are, that's cool. I'm not

766
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: a big drinker. I'm not super into pot. Never been

767
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: a big drug guy. Never be a big drug guy.

768
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: Turn here, Okay, go ahead, I'm listening, but I don't

769
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: remember when it was, and maybe we can look this up.

770
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember, though, I think it was last spring

771
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: at some point because I was in Brooklyn. This was

772
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: definitely in Brooklyn. And my brother said, hey, you ever

773
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: have an edible? And I said, maybe once or twice.

774
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: Maybe once or twice. But I I'm not as super

775
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: into them because they're unpredictable because it's basically how your

776
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: body metabolized. The timing of your body metabolizing the edible

777
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: is how the payoff occurs. So it's unpredictable. You don't

778
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: know if it to take fifteen minutes or forty eight minutes.

779
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: And I remember sitting on the couch with Jody. She

780
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: fell asleep, solid, baby, long, long asleep. I would never

781
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: ever ever do something like that while little man was awake,

782
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: let alone. I just never do this. So I popped

783
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: it watching some TV. Nothing happened. I'm like, all right, well,

784
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe this was just a dud. And then I mean,

785
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: Jody's very asleep, and all of a sudden, I start

786
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: floating above the couch. I start floating on the couch.

787
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: I called my dad and he's like, hey, man, enjoy it.

788
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: Have yourself a night. So I'm watching TV. I'm feeling great,

789
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm snacking a little bit, and I was like, you

790
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: know what I should do? I should call time. I

791
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: should call time. Do you remember when this was? I do? I?

792
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't remember when it was. I remember

793
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: the call. I could probably find when it was.

794
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you guys were just super supportive. You were

795
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: just like you were just I remember you has turn

796
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: on the Roku screensaver the fish right, hang with some fish.

797
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: I just remember that. I thought that was a great

798
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: That wasn't the best decision I made all year, but

799
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: that was a good decision to call you and Kate

800
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: saw chat. Yeah, like ten forty seven pm Eastern. Yeah,

801
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: and we were thinking you caught me on the rare Friday.

802
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: I say it was a Friday, that might make sense.

803
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was awake at that hour, which doesn't

804
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: happen a whole lot lately. And I seem to remember.

805
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: We talked for what felt like a good ten to

806
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes about the Roku screensaver and the fish there are.

807
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: There is a variety of fish there are in very

808
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: intense fish at that moment. Mm hmm. Yeah, No, it

809
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: was a great call. I just I'm very happy with that.

810
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: Not the best. The best decision I made was probably

811
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: going with Jody and the solid toddler out to California

812
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: when things got bad in Brooklyn last March. And then

813
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: the actual best decision was probably coming out to Chicago

814
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: to be closer to family during a very difficult time.

815
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: I'm very glad we did that. That was the best,

816
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: and so now we are here. The worst decision was

817
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: when we were out in California. I said to myself, Man,

818
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: I had such a good time with that edible calling

819
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: Tie in Kate that a few months later I said,

820
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to pop another edible And I didn't realize

821
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: that edibles can be a very differing strength and I

822
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: am a weakling Tie and I pop said edible and

823
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: it hit me and it was like Ray mau Luga

824
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: hit me. It was a feeling that I I called

825
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: a couple. I didn't call you. I don't think did

826
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: I call you? I think you did call I think

827
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: did I call you in May or June or whenever?

828
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: That was no, it was actually early Aprils when that

829
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: was Yeah.

830
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I have a full rolodex of Dan

831
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: edible experiences.

832
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: Somewhere in my favor blog. I took precisely two edibles

833
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: in the past, let's call it eight years or something.

834
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: I got both calls. I think you might have gotten

835
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: both calls. And it was the worst decision I could

836
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: be making up this milligram dosage. Have we been doing

837
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: the show for now thirteen years and this is the

838
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: first time we've talked about drugs. Probably probably okay, took

839
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: us a minute to warm up, But I believe the

840
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: first the Roku fish edible, I believe was a five milligram,

841
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: which is not strong by any stretch. It's not the weakest,

842
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: but it's not nothing crazy that I can tell. I

843
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: think I was given a twenty in early April, and

844
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: it was like I was watching myself freak out in bed,

845
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: and I remember calling my brother in law. I remember

846
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: calling some of Jody's friends. I think my brother gave

847
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: me sugar water, because apparently that helps you come down.

848
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: It was the clear worst decision I made in twenty

849
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty was to just assume all edibles are created equal

850
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: as a complete novice and lightweight whoa whoa.

851
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 2: Okay, well, it's no microwave story, but it will suffice Dan,

852
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: I made it up.

853
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: But it was I did make it out. I slept beautifully.

854
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: I woke up and it was like that. I heard

855
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: the like the Windows ninety five music greet me. It

856
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: was magical. So I guess all's well, that ends well.

857
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was the clear worst decision I made,

858
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: those phone calls, the Roku screens Screens discussion was that

859
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: could have been its own podcast. That was terrific. It

860
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: was and maybe this is something we do on Discord

861
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: someday we probably should have. But that's okay. Me Tie

862
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: seven and a half combined milligrams nineteen ninety eight, Wake

863
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: Forest Way, Virginia Tech. Just something absurd, Oh my gosh. Fun. Well, look,

864
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: this is fun. We're adults. It's is it legal in Pennsylvania?

865
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea. You have no idea. You live

866
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. It's it's not by scene at the moment

867
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: I have known. Okay, yeah, marijuana legal, PA. Illegal for

868
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: recreational use, but possession of small amounts have been decriminalized.

869
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: Oh so okay, we're good. You're good. Well, fun show,

870
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,280
