Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull that for me, I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be happy, you want to be happy
Speaker 1: for Dake Edith State is that woof?
Speaker 2: Woof?
Speaker 1: And Dan and Ty.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Cliburbal Boys Girls. My name is
Speaker 2: Ty Hilda Brand joining me as always Dan Rubinstein over
Speaker 2: there in summery, Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 1: Daniel, sir, how are you good? Burbs of Chicago, Illinois,
Speaker 1: Burbs Burbs, North Burbs. I am excited to do this show.
Speaker 1: This is a I don't know if it's a Q
Speaker 1: and A show as much as it is. We asked
Speaker 1: a Q of people on social media and they submitted
Speaker 1: a's as it relates to the past year of their
Speaker 1: favorite program and their lives themselves and me personally, Ty,
Speaker 1: because that's what you ask. How you if this is
Speaker 1: a show about the best and worst decisions, I can
Speaker 1: tell you in the short term, I just had a
Speaker 1: slice of extremely dense chocolate cake going in great decision
Speaker 1: as we stand right now, very confusing, possibly regretful decision.
Speaker 1: So I'm here with you.
Speaker 2: One decision that runs the full gamut is an interesting
Speaker 2: perspective that I think we're going to explore a little
Speaker 2: bit more as we go through tonight's show. Don't forget
Speaker 2: to subscribe. If you haven't already, you can go on
Speaker 2: out to solid verbal dot com. You can find the
Speaker 2: links in the upper right hand corner. Just hover over
Speaker 2: to that listener subscribe button and you can find all
Speaker 2: the links that you need to subscribe to the content.
Speaker 2: Again twice a week all throughout the off season. At
Speaker 2: some point as we near the season, we will switch
Speaker 2: back up do it a little bit more frequently, but
Speaker 2: for now, twice a week is all you get. Follow
Speaker 2: al on social media Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, We've got a
Speaker 2: YouTube at the slash e Solid Verbal and a twitch stream,
Speaker 2: which I must add you did a pizza bake for
Speaker 2: the first time on twitch stream. Got a little bit
Speaker 2: of traction. Folks were asking some questions out there. Mom
Speaker 2: h referred to you just on the sly as Danny Rubentino. Oh,
Speaker 2: I like that after seeing what you did with pizza.
Speaker 2: So she's very excited and wants to see more of
Speaker 2: your pizza bakes. I don't know if that's something you
Speaker 2: can accommodate, if.
Speaker 1: Only for her.
Speaker 2: Secondly, I've got a big game coming up. I know
Speaker 2: I've been playing the old NCAA franchise on there. M M.
Speaker 2: I've got a big game coming up against a friend
Speaker 2: either Friday or Saturday night. We haven't decided yet, but
Speaker 2: stay tuned to our social media channels and of course
Speaker 2: the Patreon discord server at verbollers dot com for more
Speaker 2: information about when that big matchup is going to occur.
Speaker 2: But I'm getting myself mentally prepared to ye, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Were you were struggling last night when during your do
Speaker 2: you want me to want to temple you?
Speaker 1: No? I was texting you during the the stream I
Speaker 1: was watching. It was a field last night. It was
Speaker 1: in a three all. A little before halftime, you threw
Speaker 1: an ugly, ugly pick you were you got an explosive
Speaker 1: play before halftime. I didn't watch the second half. I
Speaker 1: assume you held on. I want an overtime against Temple nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: A rock fight in the first half. Second half picked up.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we got a big matchup coming up against
Speaker 2: a human opponent in the next couple of days. So again,
Speaker 2: that's out at Twitch dot tv slash Solid Verbal on
Speaker 2: tonight's show. We promised you we're going to be doing
Speaker 2: one Q and a show per month throughout the off season.
Speaker 2: Today is that show, and we've got a unique spin
Speaker 2: on it. Dan looking back looking forward, chocolate cake dilemma,
Speaker 2: anundrum if you will, decisions decisions is what we are
Speaker 2: titling this here content. What what decisions decisions are we.
Speaker 1: So I asked verbalers to let us know what is
Speaker 1: the absolute best decision that their favorite team or program
Speaker 1: made in the last year. So it could be something
Speaker 1: on the field, it could be something as it relates
Speaker 1: to hiring a coach, retaining a coach, uniform, all sorts
Speaker 1: of things, anything related to your program. And then personally,
Speaker 1: so the best decision, the worst decision about your program,
Speaker 1: and then personally, what was the best decision. Obviously, these
Speaker 1: past three hundred and sixty five days have been largely
Speaker 1: very different for all of us. So best and worst
Speaker 1: decision you yourself made. That's sort of issued at everybody
Speaker 1: listening who responded, and we got some incredible responses, and
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to give mine for my team and for
Speaker 1: my life. I hope you are as well. I know
Speaker 1: you said you had a huge professional reveal. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means, but I'm excited to get into it. Well,
Speaker 1: where do we want to start? Do we want to
Speaker 1: start with our teams?
Speaker 2: We want to start with our person What makes the
Speaker 2: most sense for you?
Speaker 1: You mean like, should we start with college football or human? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why are you correct? Oh? College football?
Speaker 2: So the best decision that my team made in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty was an easy one, and that was joining the ACC.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame did so out of necessity. I don't know
Speaker 2: what it would have looked like if they hadn't. My
Speaker 2: guess is they still would have found a way to
Speaker 2: play games, but it wouldn't nearly have been as high
Speaker 2: profile as it ended up being. Huge win against Clemson,
Speaker 2: obviously made the ACC Championship, obviously made the playoff game,
Speaker 2: so it was, by all accounts a successful season. Did
Speaker 2: not end the way many Notre Dame fans and I'm
Speaker 2: sure Notre Dame players would have hoped. But I think,
Speaker 2: just in terms of what was the best decision they made,
Speaker 2: Jack Swarbrick pulling the trigger early joining the ACC, becoming
Speaker 2: that fifteenth team on a one time only basis, In
Speaker 2: my book, that's a huge dub. I hope they end
Speaker 2: up going in that direction moving forward, whether it's with
Speaker 2: the ACC, the Big Ten, some other conference. I've long
Speaker 2: been a proponent of Notre Dame joining and ending the
Speaker 2: independence when it makes financial league yea, yeah, well Aliga, yeah,
Speaker 2: League one, Uber eats whatever works for them, I'm fine with.
Speaker 2: But I think it was a huge move, a great
Speaker 2: move by Swarbrick, and it was cool to see it.
Speaker 1: If that's really the only glimpse we're going to get
Speaker 1: at them in a conference, what's the what was the
Speaker 1: worst move of the past year from Notre Dame. I
Speaker 1: struggle with the worst move or worst decision? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you could, you could, you could
Speaker 1: split hairs here if you really wanted to.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that I had trouble coming up with
Speaker 2: a worst decision, a decision that I thought.
Speaker 1: It's all relative too. It doesn't mean you have to
Speaker 1: come up with a catastrophe, but just in terms of
Speaker 1: a very successful year.
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, there were no catastrophes. I will say this,
Speaker 2: the one decision that I am wondering about, I am
Speaker 2: curious about, Like the chocolate cake and the belly state.
Speaker 1: Of things, I'm in a strange place is.
Speaker 2: The Tommy Reess decision at to go with Tommy Rees
Speaker 2: at offensive coordinator. And I struggle even saying that aloud
Speaker 2: because I really like Tommy Reese.
Speaker 1: I really like him.
Speaker 2: Perhaps I'm biased because we spent so much time talking
Speaker 2: about him on the show and Reesis became part of
Speaker 2: our content for like four straight years. I really want
Speaker 2: him to work out. I do think he's got a
Speaker 2: promising future as a head football coach at some point
Speaker 2: in time. And I totally get why Notre Dame would
Speaker 2: appoint him to that position. But he's pre damn green
Speaker 2: before taking over the Raids, and so not to say
Speaker 2: anybody else, Chip Long any other coordinator was gonna get
Speaker 2: more blood out of the stone that was Ian Book
Speaker 2: at quarterback. But that's not even fair good quarterback.
Speaker 1: Sure, but I just.
Speaker 2: I need more information before I'm fully comfortable with that
Speaker 2: as a good, long lasting, sustainable decision.
Speaker 1: Well also, I mean I don't want to get too
Speaker 1: in the way. This is well trod territory, if that's
Speaker 1: a word. You know, what if Notre Dame upgrades from
Speaker 1: Tommy Reese to I don't know what, Phil Longo at
Speaker 1: North Carolina, somebody who has been consistently a good coordinator
Speaker 1: or something like that with a lot more experience. Isn't
Speaker 1: ian book Notre dame offense beyond merely good? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean it also depends on like Notre Dame didn't
Speaker 1: really have killers at receiver, and it just you know,
Speaker 1: there was a ceiling for Notre Dame's offense. So I
Speaker 1: think that you qualified it. I think you couched it
Speaker 1: pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, the receiver component of this is important.
Speaker 2: There were plenty of players with these guys just weren't
Speaker 2: getting open. Yeah, and there was no separation. That does
Speaker 2: not all fall on the shoulder of ian Book. Ian
Speaker 2: Book is not without his own limitations, but within the system,
Speaker 2: ian Book was very good. Ianbook won a lot of games.
Speaker 2: Ian Book got him to a conference championship game in
Speaker 2: the playoff, so say what you want, but he got
Speaker 2: the job done when he had to. I think we're
Speaker 2: going to find out more about Reese this coming season,
Speaker 2: because you know, whether it's Jack Cohne in the short
Speaker 2: term probably will be, whether it's a guy like a
Speaker 2: Tyler Buckner.
Speaker 1: New recruit.
Speaker 2: In the long term that remains to be seen. But
Speaker 2: he will now have an opportunity to really put his
Speaker 2: stamp on the program moving forward with a fresh face
Speaker 2: at quarterback, which is where he should really excel being
Speaker 2: so he knows the position well from his own time
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: Oregon's best decision was to make a defensive adjustment later
Speaker 1: on in the season. They were running some very strange
Speaker 1: looks which had the defensive line two three yards off
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to try to confuse and do
Speaker 1: all sorts of I don't know, stunting and caveon. Thibodeau
Speaker 1: ended up at like middle linebacker in some set and
Speaker 1: then they sort of scrapped that and went back to
Speaker 1: what worked and absolutely demolished USC upfront in that very
Speaker 1: odd happenstance of a Pac twelve championship game. But that
Speaker 1: was a fantastic decision, and of course Andy Avlos rode
Speaker 1: a stronger and to the regular season before bowlseason to
Speaker 1: the head coaching job at Boise State, so good for him.
Speaker 1: That was a very good decision to get back to
Speaker 1: what worked for the Oregon defense. You know, the hiring
Speaker 1: of Joe moorehead was before three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 1: days ago. That was a late January, I believe, so
Speaker 1: that doesn't count. But I think in terms of twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: that was a fantastic move and I stand by it,
Speaker 1: even though the offense didn't really fully work out for Oregon.
Speaker 1: I would say the worst thing that Oregon did was
Speaker 1: probably the belief in quarterback probably lasted too long when
Speaker 1: it was looking like it was not going to be
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck, rising to the occasion later on in the
Speaker 1: season in those games against you know, Oregon State and
Speaker 1: Cal and there was just it was tough. It was
Speaker 1: a tough watch once it was clear that if he
Speaker 1: was to be pressured, it was not going to go
Speaker 1: well for Oregon's offense. So that was probably the worst move.
Speaker 1: But all in all, a very positive year for Oregon
Speaker 1: football and an abbreviated season to still win the Pac twelve.
Speaker 1: So again, it's all a relative complaint. Do you have
Speaker 1: a personal best and worst decision you made last year?
Speaker 2: And oh Dan, Oh Dan, I think so Okay, the
Speaker 2: best decision I made was to take up home projects.
Speaker 2: And I've said this before. This isn't going to come
Speaker 2: as any surprise to folks who listened to this show,
Speaker 2: but I think taking up home projects, anything that gets
Speaker 2: you away from a screen, the best has really been rewarding.
Speaker 2: So we painted like five yeah, five rooms in this house.
Speaker 2: Maybe not five rooms, it felt.
Speaker 1: Like five rooms. But you also tried Korean barbecue for
Speaker 1: the first time within three hundred and sixty five days ago. Yeah, correct,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 2: The last time was right before we all went into
Speaker 2: quarantine up in New York with you. But no, the
Speaker 2: home project's bit painting has been has really been like
Speaker 2: more fun than I expected, if only because again there's
Speaker 2: no computer screen involved. We also committed to buying a
Speaker 2: fence for the solid pup, but because everything is on
Speaker 2: back order and literally the entire world had the exact
Speaker 2: same idea, we have yet to receive said fence. So
Speaker 2: if we're going chocolate cake, this is the decision that
Speaker 2: felt good on the way in, but has felt a
Speaker 2: little less good each day since we're still waiting, and furthermore,
Speaker 2: since they still have a huge deposit check that I
Speaker 2: put down on said fence.
Speaker 1: Wow, so hopefully we're gonna get good for you at
Speaker 1: some point here.
Speaker 2: Worst decision worst decision Dan was buying a new microwave. Okay,
Speaker 2: why worst decision was buying a new microwave. We had
Speaker 2: the unfortunate circumstance of the microwave that came with the house.
Speaker 2: I think it was the original microwave when the house
Speaker 2: was built. That thing went could put around mid April.
Speaker 2: First decision in a year, it is, there's more mid
Speaker 2: April when could put made an awful sound whenever you
Speaker 2: turn the thing on.
Speaker 1: No longer heated any food.
Speaker 2: Just so happens that a appliance dealer was offering a
Speaker 2: Memorial Day sale shortly thereafter, could get a really good
Speaker 2: I think it was a ge brand microwave for a
Speaker 2: fraction of the price. They cumming they'd install it. They'd
Speaker 2: been here before, so it was a good deal.
Speaker 1: Called them up. It fit the space.
Speaker 2: They came out, they tried to install it, and that's
Speaker 2: when all hell broke loose, Dan, All hell broke loose
Speaker 2: as they popped the old microwave out and put the
Speaker 2: new one in. They come to discover that the door
Speaker 2: only opens about a quarter of the way. And that's
Speaker 2: because my kitchen has an odd can figuration. Most microwaves.
Speaker 2: When you've got an above the range microwave like most
Speaker 2: people do, or a lot of people do. You don't
Speaker 2: have an obstruction blocking the door from opening, But in
Speaker 2: the case of our kitchen, there's actually sort of like
Speaker 2: a mini wall there.
Speaker 1: This is almost like you're filibustering a college football podcast.
Speaker 2: This is exactly what's happening. The door wouldn't open. It
Speaker 2: wouldn't open, and nobody, nobody makes one that will unless
Speaker 2: I want to spend like fifteen hundred dollars to get
Speaker 2: a microwave that opens top to bottom or bottom of
Speaker 2: the top. So you know what's happened, Dan, what's happened
Speaker 2: is after trying another microwave, after getting my money back,
Speaker 2: after trying poorly to install the old microwave back into
Speaker 2: the space, I now have a giant gaping hole where
Speaker 2: my microwave used to be. And I haven't had a
Speaker 2: microwave for close to a year. First world problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this is even first world problems. This is
Speaker 1: the only person with the problem. This minute be their
Speaker 1: biggest decision. It's a beautiful You can't what would you
Speaker 1: do if you could warm food up in a microwave.
Speaker 1: I have a toaster, and I have a regular oven,
Speaker 1: I have a stove. I have used these things as well,
Speaker 1: steamer basket. None of them are.
Speaker 2: As convenient as a microwave. Okay, don't pooh pooh this.
Speaker 1: This is microwave dietribe. I will postpone my best and
Speaker 1: worst life decisions until the end of the show. Here's
Speaker 1: the teas. They both involve an edible. Oh okay, they
Speaker 1: will involve an edible, and one of them at least
Speaker 1: involves you. So there's that. Okay, okay, let's go to
Speaker 1: some college football answers from fans from across the country.
Speaker 1: We've got some really good ones. We're gonna start with Instagram. Actually,
Speaker 1: usually we save Instagram for last. We're gonna start with this.
Speaker 1: I've got Sam saying Texas fired Tom Herman, hooray, but
Speaker 1: also set Bijehan Robinson for Keyante Ingram for way too long.
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, We've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: Michigan people saying the worst decision that Michigan made this
Speaker 1: year was not firing Jim Harbaugh. Yeah wow, interesting, Wow, interesting.
Speaker 2: That's who is there a guy? This is the question
Speaker 2: that nobody's been able to answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, there's always a guy. Well, there's
Speaker 1: always a guy. I get it. But if not Horbaw,
Speaker 1: then who?
Speaker 2: And who are you expecting to come into the situation
Speaker 2: and make an immediate impact that's going to turn them
Speaker 2: into like an eleven win team. Is that guy out there?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Harbaugh still feels like a good coach. He's getting paid
Speaker 2: a ton. Maybe he's getting a little long in the
Speaker 2: tooth in ann Arbor at this point, and it's not
Speaker 2: going to be a long term situation. But I just
Speaker 2: until I get an answer, an obvious answer to if
Speaker 2: not Harball, then who, it's really hard for me to
Speaker 2: take it seriously despite all the frustrations that I think
Speaker 2: is associated.
Speaker 1: With him always gonna have. You know, Luke Fickle, Matt Campbell,
Speaker 1: there are coaches in the Midwest with a Midwestern footprint
Speaker 1: who I'm sure would be happy to take over an
Speaker 1: enormous program with enormous resources. But yeah, you're right, and
Speaker 1: Luke Fickele, obviously with his Ohio State ties, is it
Speaker 1: complicates it. But yeah, there are guys, Tye, there are
Speaker 1: guys that are willing to take six and a half
Speaker 1: seven million dollars to Candle Premier program.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you poop pooed my microwave story. This
Speaker 2: has been very traumatic over the last year.
Speaker 1: Dan, It's just been a really tough year for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. And here you are saying your worst decision.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the worst thing that happened in the world
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, I know, but my worst decision was
Speaker 2: buying that microwave.
Speaker 1: Continue. We had some Georgia fans say, best decision starting,
Speaker 1: finally starting JT. Daniels worst waiting to play JT. Daniels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that long? Well was that was that a decision though
Speaker 1: to wait to play him?
Speaker 2: Or was it?
Speaker 1: Was it more a matter of medical clearance? I mean
Speaker 1: it could have been out of an abundance of caution, Okay,
Speaker 1: And then I don't know, who knows. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of Florida letting Kyle Trask really shine and trusting
Speaker 1: him and opening up the playbook and really letting him
Speaker 1: do what he does best, which is pick apart defenses.
Speaker 1: And the worst obviously throwing a shoe key moment against LSU.
Speaker 1: The shoe was terrible. I've got a Notre dame joining
Speaker 1: the ACC as the best decision, accepting playoff invitation as
Speaker 1: Notre dame in that nice place of like, Hey, we
Speaker 1: lost the most respectively of most teams who played Alabama,
Speaker 1: I guess outside of Florida. So there's that. Let's see
Speaker 1: what else we have we have from Damn Klobacar long
Speaker 1: time for baller. The best decision Perdue made was related
Speaker 1: to their uniforms. Everything else was the bad decision I
Speaker 1: was made. Yeah, I was waiting for.
Speaker 2: Some uniform hot takes here. I thought I thought we'd
Speaker 2: get more of them. But okay, good.
Speaker 1: He also gave of us. His best life decision was
Speaker 1: buying home gym equipment the day things started shutting down,
Speaker 1: so we had a squat rack all year. So, in
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, Dan Klobokar likely likely has terrific glutes,
Speaker 1: great glutes, he just tree trunks his thighs is if
Speaker 1: he's been squatting more consistently than most at home this year.
Speaker 1: His worst is not buying a nice office chair for
Speaker 1: his house. Yeah, that's key, Interesting, it's key. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got a lot of JT. Daniels. Best decision for BYU
Speaker 1: going with Zach Wilson, letting him shine. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much of a choice they had. But the worst
Speaker 1: decision playing Coastal within sixty hours Coastal Carolina. M. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was you know what, I think that was a
Speaker 1: great decision. You just needed to stop them a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, I still think it was a good decision.
Speaker 2: It was good. It was a good decision. Sometimes you
Speaker 2: need to think bigger picture. That was a really good
Speaker 2: decision for a college football season that needed a little
Speaker 2: bit of a boost at that point in time. Everybody
Speaker 2: watched that game. Everybody watched that game, and it was
Speaker 2: like the best game of the year.
Speaker 1: We had some Ohio State fans talk about a great
Speaker 1: decision in bringing in Trey Sermon as a transfer running
Speaker 1: back from Oklahoma and really leaning on him when things
Speaker 1: got dicey both against Northwestern and Clemson. Certainly, Tray Sermon
Speaker 1: more than carried his weight did his part to power
Speaker 1: Ohio State forward. And then we got a lot of
Speaker 1: both Sean Wade and to a greater extent, tough Borland
Speaker 1: on an Island decision making. I guess Sean Wade was
Speaker 1: sort of moved from the inside and playing sort of
Speaker 1: nickel corner's safety snaps into being an outside corner, and
Speaker 1: that didn't fully go well for Ohio state. But then yeah,
Speaker 1: tough Borland, especially highlighted by on An Island against DeVante Smith.
Speaker 1: It got dicey tie. I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 1: Oh I remember did get dicey with a linebacker on
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith.
Speaker 2: Let me pose one to you a different situation from
Speaker 2: the perspective of the PAC twelve. Is the best decision
Speaker 2: firing Larry Scott and then or letting Larry Scott go,
Speaker 2: and the worst decision deciding to play a season at all.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it was a bad decision to
Speaker 1: play a season. The PAC twelve was able to play football.
Speaker 1: They took a lot of precautions, I think all in all,
Speaker 1: I mean, the PAC twolve didn't have a playoff caliber team,
Speaker 1: so it's not like they quitted themselves terribly by playing.
Speaker 1: The Larry Scott thing is tbd. We got to see,
Speaker 1: just like you mentioned with Jim Harbaugh, who do they
Speaker 1: bring in? What's the impact? Yeah, what is the reaction?
Speaker 1: What does the money look like in the next TV deal?
Speaker 1: What does the distribution look like? Because right now, the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve before gambled on people being interested in the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and its network getting barriers to help foot
Speaker 1: the bill by saying, oh, Direct TV wants to pay
Speaker 1: however many cents per whatever, and it worked out financially,
Speaker 1: it did not work out financially. And so what does
Speaker 1: it look like as the broadcast landscape? And I don't
Speaker 1: know how much you want to get into this, but
Speaker 1: like I have no idea what broadcast TV slash streaming
Speaker 1: is and look like in two years, everybody's sort of
Speaker 1: starting their own service and saying you want HBO, Well,
Speaker 1: you don't need Comcast, you don't need AT and T.
Speaker 1: I go AT and T. I guess owns HBO now,
Speaker 1: but you don't need some sort of cable service, just
Speaker 1: just grab HBO. And so as that changes, like if
Speaker 1: you don't care about PAC twelve, Big twelve or Big
Speaker 1: ten football and you just want sec ACC, we got
Speaker 1: you just the ESPN app, that's all you need. And
Speaker 1: so they're things like that that are going to be fascinating,
Speaker 1: with the PAC twelve right now looking like of the
Speaker 1: Power five conferences the least attractive from a financial perspective
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I talked about this with Matt Brown, and so let's
Speaker 2: let's play a more futuristic version of this same game.
Speaker 2: If I told you in three years and we'll get
Speaker 2: back to the responses here.
Speaker 1: We got many of them.
Speaker 2: If I told you in three years that the PAC
Speaker 2: twelve cut a deal with Google and YouTube, and it's
Speaker 2: a different kind of deal. It's not necessarily going to
Speaker 2: be standard cable, but they're going to put every game
Speaker 2: on YouTube that you can watch and then some of those.
Speaker 1: So any any digital device, any ott any phone, tablet, laptop,
Speaker 1: everything on YouTube. PA twelve could be on YouTube.
Speaker 2: You can watch any PACK twelve game wherever you want
Speaker 2: on YouTube, and they will, you know, maybe they'll sell
Speaker 2: some of that back to a network.
Speaker 1: If they're say they're going to sell your data, Yeah,
Speaker 1: going to do that.
Speaker 2: But three years from now, if you find out that
Speaker 2: this is the deal that the PAC twelve cut, knowing
Speaker 2: what you know now, is that best to decision?
Speaker 1: Worst decision? I don't think it's answerable right now, just
Speaker 1: because we don't know what the actual product is. You
Speaker 1: could watch PAC twelve games if you wanted to. For
Speaker 1: the most part, you couldn't watch maybe ten thirty PM
Speaker 1: Eastern Colorado Arizona kickoff without the PAC twelve network. But
Speaker 1: the majority of big middle and not as good games
Speaker 1: in terms of quality of matchup, you could watch people
Speaker 1: just didn't a lot of the time. So sure it
Speaker 1: makes it easier to watch. But if the product isn't
Speaker 1: any good and isn't attractive to somebody in Minneapolis or
Speaker 1: Nashville or Orlando or something, it doesn't I don't know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean all that much to me. You still
Speaker 1: need the killers at the top of every conference, and
Speaker 1: that's what the PAC twelve doesn't have, plural killers. What
Speaker 1: else you got here? Pitt not accepting a bull bit
Speaker 1: as a best decision. I'm cool with that. Yeah. If
Speaker 1: players were just wanting to get home for the holidays
Speaker 1: and sick of quarantining and abting by extreme, extremely tight
Speaker 1: protocol on campus and they wanted to get home and
Speaker 1: spend time with family in a safe way, great with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not it's worst decision. Keeping Sean Watson at coordinator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't think you can really
Speaker 2: fault anyone, be it a player or a team for
Speaker 2: the opt out.
Speaker 1: It was just it was a goof year. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of I think like minded Tennessee
Speaker 2: fans here who said that the best decision was firing
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pruitt. Worst decision was extending.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruett before the season. It's easy to forget that
Speaker 1: they did that before the seat. We have a lot
Speaker 1: of people regretful about not working out, so not having
Speaker 1: Dan Clobacar glutes that they had the time and or
Speaker 1: ability to. But you know, it was it was tough
Speaker 1: for all of us to just get up off the couch,
Speaker 1: get away from the desk, and as lines blurred for
Speaker 1: a lot of us between work and personal time, you know,
Speaker 1: it became more and more difficult, especially this past month
Speaker 1: or so. Here in Chicago. Worst decision, Yeah, there's more
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruitz scrolling through here. Oh I like this one. Well,
Speaker 1: now I lost it. We have not buying bitcoin at
Speaker 1: twelve k. I don't understand that per se, But it
Speaker 1: looks like a Nebraska fan. So it was a tough
Speaker 1: year for him. Best for a Penn State fan. James
Speaker 1: Franklin using the transfer portal to add players. Worst James
Speaker 1: Franklin completely neglecting to use the transfer portal up until
Speaker 1: like two months ago. Oh god, yeah, yeah. We had
Speaker 1: some with like not bringing in competition for Sean Clifford
Speaker 1: and seeing what they had in Roberson? Is that who
Speaker 1: Penn State fans one of the guys they were clamoring for.
Speaker 1: I assume in situations like that that it's extremely rare.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong about Robertson. I don't know. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him in live game action. Nobody has, but just
Speaker 1: generally speaking, where it's just like, why aren't we seeing
Speaker 1: what we have in this backup? The answer is generally
Speaker 1: not always, but a good healthy percentage of the time
Speaker 1: they're not good in practice, and so it becomes very
Speaker 1: difficult to play somebody in a game that you've watched
Speaker 1: with your own eyes against a scout team be not good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true about Roberson, but that
Speaker 1: to me from everything I have heard about various teams
Speaker 1: and when people are clamoring for a backup, that's generally
Speaker 1: the reason why. Or they're hurt, or they don't know
Speaker 1: the playbook like that. Coaches can be overly loyal, for sure,
Speaker 1: but there's generally more ink to be spilled about the
Speaker 1: reason for that ambivalence. I would say, you can't even
Speaker 1: use the red.
Speaker 2: Shirt this year, not anymore because of the eligibility.
Speaker 1: Well, you also had four games too, so with that
Speaker 1: new role. Yeah, and I see that.
Speaker 2: We also have a comment here about making a move
Speaker 2: to get Mike yoursitch getting rid of our boy Kirk Sharraka.
Speaker 1: Which is a bummer because we were pretty excited about
Speaker 1: Kirk Sharaka Shraka.
Speaker 2: But it seems like that was not working. And I
Speaker 2: do give James Franklin credit for acknowledging as much and
Speaker 2: pulling the trigger on that one, making the move to
Speaker 2: get your stitch. Now, I guess it remains to be
Speaker 2: seen how successful that's going to be because we still
Speaker 2: have big questions at quarterback and you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if your stitch you'll be able to clear those up.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to look at the quarterback transfer portal and
Speaker 1: look at the number of quarterbacks who as and this
Speaker 1: is not a I'm not going to use this opportunity
Speaker 1: to name specific names because it's one of them. As
Speaker 1: my resolution indicated, I'm trying to be less mean about
Speaker 1: players playing poorly because they're just college kids and there
Speaker 1: are a number of is always why a player doesn't
Speaker 1: sort of live up to expectations. But it's amazing looking
Speaker 1: through the transfer portal and looking at the just the
Speaker 1: C minus chairs being reshuffled across the sport at quarterback
Speaker 1: and wondering, what does this coach see in this quarterback
Speaker 1: that makes them think that they are an answer if
Speaker 1: it's at a similar level, if you're going from the
Speaker 1: Big twelve to the SEC, if youre going from the
Speaker 1: Big ten to the ACC and so forth. I do
Speaker 1: always wonder when a quarterback is pretty obviously not a
Speaker 1: Power five quarterback and then he just goes to another
Speaker 1: Power five program. I always wonder is it just a
Speaker 1: numbers thing? Is it just that, Like it's always very
Speaker 1: confusing to me. But I guess you got to find
Speaker 1: roster spots, and you know, it's all variable every year.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does that ever like strike you when
Speaker 1: you look at like twenty four to seven does a
Speaker 1: fantastic job with their they have a transfer portal, rundown
Speaker 1: page yep. And typically when a quarterback struggles at a
Speaker 1: mid level Power five school, really struggles to get better,
Speaker 1: improve at all, and then just goes to a similarly
Speaker 1: sized program and another conference, do you think it's Is
Speaker 1: it the confidence, the unwavering confidence that you're a better
Speaker 1: coach and you can get the best out of this
Speaker 1: guy in a way that the previous guy couldn't. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's what it is like, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't understand. I guess you just kind of fill out
Speaker 1: a room sometimes. But it's wild to me seeing some
Speaker 1: of these transfers.
Speaker 2: Well, this is not a profession that is short on ego.
Speaker 2: So I have no doubt that there is that there
Speaker 2: is part of it. And we've seen that in professional sports,
Speaker 2: journeymen who have bounced around from team to team to team,
Speaker 2: you know, especially in the NFL, each coach trying to
Speaker 2: get the most out of that player, and in a
Speaker 2: lot of cases it doesn't work. In some cases it does.
Speaker 1: But well, to be clear, the NFL are professional players. Sure,
Speaker 1: these these are on some level good players. I know,
Speaker 1: Like there are guys like Nate Peterman who were just
Speaker 1: like nightmares for the Bills and somehow keeps getting backup jobs.
Speaker 1: I know there's always gonna be those types of guys.
Speaker 1: I think he was one who was pretty bad for
Speaker 1: the Bills. Right, He's very bad, extremely bad, very bad
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I understand when a power five quarterback
Speaker 1: doesn't work out at a major place or a somewhat
Speaker 1: major place and they go down to play for a conference,
Speaker 1: USA school whatever, Like, okay, cool, maybe that makes more
Speaker 1: sense for them. But yeah, like I'm doing my best
Speaker 1: not to name names here, ty, I really am, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be specific. But it is always
Speaker 1: wild to me when I see, like, oh, man, this
Speaker 1: guy ended up here. What do they think they're getting?
Speaker 1: What do they really think? Like, you're just getting an
Speaker 1: emergency second half guy if the starter goes down. I guess, so,
Speaker 1: I guess that's what it is. I guess it's that
Speaker 1: confidence that, Okay, it didn't work out here. Maybe there
Speaker 1: were reasons. Maybe it's an injury thing. Maybe he had
Speaker 1: a really bad breakup right before the season. His head
Speaker 1: wasn't in the game, but now he looks like he's
Speaker 1: ready for a fresh start. That's I think the hope.
Speaker 1: But man, yeah, year over year, as more guys leave,
Speaker 1: it's just wild to see the evaluation when there's so
Speaker 1: much tape out there.
Speaker 2: The hope is that these guys blow up and that
Speaker 2: they end up contributing as a starter, But there's probably
Speaker 2: a depth angle as well, you know, the flip side.
Speaker 2: I guess the counter argument having all that tape, is
Speaker 2: you kind of do know what you're getting. And sure,
Speaker 2: for some coaches, I'll admit it's not like these guys
Speaker 2: are transferring because they want to be backups, right, And
Speaker 2: I'm sure no coach would admit to that either. But
Speaker 2: having more tape on some of these kids does give
Speaker 2: you a sense for what you got and if you
Speaker 2: need depth, perhaps that's one way to plug the gap.
Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating with the class of now
Speaker 1: what twenty twenty one having not made official visits, A
Speaker 1: lot of them made on official visits, and of course
Speaker 1: quarterbacks commit earlier on in the cycle, so potentially these
Speaker 1: guys have been on a number of campuses and coaches
Speaker 1: have been to camps or whatever, have hosted them at
Speaker 1: camps and have seen these guys throw. We have seen
Speaker 1: quarterback movement in a way that we've never seen, and
Speaker 1: just general player transferring in ways that we haven't seen.
Speaker 1: Did you see that more and more schools are bringing
Speaker 1: in heads of transfer recruiting. Yeah, not just ordinary you know,
Speaker 1: high school JC whatever, just like who are we like?
Speaker 1: I guess it's ear to the ground talking to high
Speaker 1: school coaches seven on seven, coaches like, wow, this guy
Speaker 1: just got benched, and you know he's open to a
Speaker 1: fresh start somewhere new like that. And I don't even
Speaker 1: say any of this in any sort of malicious way,
Speaker 1: like it just sort of seems like a reality, a
Speaker 1: necessary reality now now.
Speaker 2: Well, as Andy Staples said last week on the show,
Speaker 2: the emergence of a new transfer rule is sure coinciding
Speaker 2: with the nil legislation, which is going to hit in July,
Speaker 2: and it probably puts us in a position as college
Speaker 2: football fans to see some really weird stuff that maybe
Speaker 2: we don't even.
Speaker 1: Know about quite yet.
Speaker 2: So his point all along was that the transfer rule
Speaker 2: may actually be the bigger deal.
Speaker 1: And to your point.
Speaker 2: Here, Director of Transfer Recruiting, my guess is you'll see
Speaker 2: more of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you're absolutely gonna see more. I'm just I
Speaker 1: wonder what offenses look like moving forward. It's this very
Speaker 1: strange feeling that I have where I'm like, man, I am,
Speaker 1: I am pro players finding their best fit. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, if you're in a system for two
Speaker 1: three years and then you're going to a new school,
Speaker 1: you're getting used to a new campus and a new whatever,
Speaker 1: a new apartment, like everything is new and you're thrust
Speaker 1: into a starting job like it's its own difficulties, Like
Speaker 1: for every you know, Jalen Hurts thriving at Oklahoma after
Speaker 1: you know, proving himself to be a very good quarterback
Speaker 1: at Alabama, but you know there's a younger guy who
Speaker 1: has overtaken him Intua. For all of those, it's just
Speaker 1: like hoping for the best, going somewhere new and hoping
Speaker 1: you pick up an offense, hoping you click with receivers,
Speaker 1: Hope you click with an offensive coordinator, Hope personal stuff
Speaker 1: doesn't get in the way because you have a girlfriend
Speaker 1: back at your first school, and now you're across the
Speaker 1: country from your parents and they can't come to see
Speaker 1: your games. And that's very stric Like I wonder what
Speaker 1: it's like, And maybe that's a show we can do.
Speaker 1: What it's like transferring after two, three, four years where
Speaker 1: you're starting over from scratch in terms of learning how
Speaker 1: to lead a team. More importantly, are.
Speaker 2: You sure that the feeling that you're getting is not
Speaker 2: just too much colbrew? Because I know you've been hitting
Speaker 2: that pretty hard tie over the last.
Speaker 1: Time cold brew. So I got a new grinder. I
Speaker 1: got a new grinder, and it's it does a fantastic
Speaker 1: job because you want a courser grind with coldbrew because
Speaker 1: it sits in it for a long time, so you
Speaker 1: don't need to immediately extract everything from the beans. I
Speaker 1: don't do colbrew, you know, I know, I know you don't.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's all the sun in my heart.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. So I'm learning here. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I'm only drinking one cup of cold brew a day.
Speaker 1: It just happens to be It happens to be pretty explosive.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I also had chocolate cake right before
Speaker 1: the show. I just I honestly think, like what Like
Speaker 1: Tate Martel is an example where he has an incredible
Speaker 1: amount of natural talent, but it hasn't worked out for him.
Speaker 1: And what is it like bouncing we had Tate four Cia,
Speaker 1: anybody named Tate or any McCaffrey other than Christian. What
Speaker 1: is it like to go to a place with a
Speaker 1: good amount of hype, have it not work out for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and then be thrust into a almost savior role. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thrust hi, I'll say it. No, I don't know. No,
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. It's like we think about things in a
Speaker 1: very professional sports free agent mindset, And it just feels
Speaker 1: so much different when you're nineteen and just trying to
Speaker 1: figure out the world rather than you're twenty nine and
Speaker 1: you get traded and you're going to be a stretch
Speaker 1: for And it's fine, you can pick up a new
Speaker 1: NBA offense, if you can hit a three, if you
Speaker 1: can guard multiple positions, you're fine. You know you're a pro.
Speaker 1: You sign up for this. But I just, you know,
Speaker 1: I wonder what are the struggles and challenges that we're
Speaker 1: not thinking of if we just look at these players
Speaker 1: as quarterbacks or defensive tackles, Because it just it feels
Speaker 1: like there's so much more to it. All right, what
Speaker 1: else do we got here? We got time for a
Speaker 1: couple more, all right, you tell me, you have the
Speaker 1: list in front of you. What has popped out to
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Best decision making the change from Rocky Lombardi,
Speaker 1: who's now in the transfer portal, to Peyton Thorn at quarterback, Right,
Speaker 1: that's what we got. A decision.
Speaker 2: We've got Clemson from Will saying the best was giving
Speaker 2: Tony Elliott a raise. The worst was not changing the
Speaker 2: defensive strategy versus Ohio State in the second half. Not
Speaker 2: sure how much that would have affected things, but adjustments
Speaker 2: could have helped. With the question mark at the end,
Speaker 2: here's an interesting one. Okay, so thank you, will best
Speaker 2: and worst decision? Getting really good at using zoom?
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I like that.
Speaker 2: That's a very interesting answer. Will you're good at zoom?
Speaker 2: I guess it's hard to be bad at zoom?
Speaker 1: Ty, I am on a zoom call. Anytime I'm on
Speaker 1: a zoom call, you're also on that call. To put
Speaker 1: it that way, So I'm not on that many. You're
Speaker 1: on much more because you have a job that requires
Speaker 1: that sort of communication across different countries and languages and
Speaker 1: Geneva conventions, things like that. Correct, that's right. Are you
Speaker 1: good at zoom? Have you gotten better at zoom?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's a thing that you
Speaker 2: get better at, per se, I've gotten more used to it.
Speaker 1: You ever attend a zoom call with a seventy seven
Speaker 1: year old tie. You can get better and you can
Speaker 1: get worse. That's fair. I'll tell you what I have lately.
Speaker 1: I have a little case of the zoom yips lately.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I have a little case of zoom yips.
Speaker 1: Happened to me again today. What does that mean?
Speaker 2: I got a new headset, and the headset's got a
Speaker 2: different configuration for the mute button. And so now I'm
Speaker 2: starting to be the guy who starts talking only to
Speaker 2: hear somebody say in my headset, we can't hear it.
Speaker 1: You must be on mute. Hmmm, Ti there, Tie, Tie,
Speaker 1: Tie you there. Yeah, God, I'm mute. Tie. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what's happening.
Speaker 2: And then, of course, you know, you always have the
Speaker 2: go to line like, oh, sorry, sorry, I was on mute.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I get a new headset.
Speaker 2: Computers acting up, A lot of computer's been acting up
Speaker 2: over the last year, but ultimately it's easier er. So
Speaker 2: I've been pretty good at avoiding that. I do have
Speaker 2: a little case of the yips right now that I'm
Speaker 2: trying to work through.
Speaker 1: Was there a worse decision than hiring Wow from Ed
Speaker 1: Orgeron in terms of coordinators this past year, in terms
Speaker 1: of available talent, strength of an opponent's offense or defense.
Speaker 1: Wherever you hired, there were some bad decisions, but LSU
Speaker 1: doing that, I know they lso improved over the course
Speaker 1: of the season somewhat, and they had, you know, a
Speaker 1: ton of injury stuff. I think they finished eightieth or
Speaker 1: something like that, so below average in terms of defensive
Speaker 1: points per drive, below average from where they were, and
Speaker 1: considering the talent level, I guess it's all relative. But yeah,
Speaker 1: considering the paycheck that he drew, that's a pretty bad
Speaker 1: one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a That was a lot of money, Dan, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of money for something that didn't really work
Speaker 2: out that well.
Speaker 1: No, Kansas not working out under less miles. That was
Speaker 1: not this past year Kevin Sumlin hired. I think that
Speaker 1: was a great decision to go in a new direction
Speaker 1: for Arizona. Yes, I agree. I thought that was a
Speaker 1: great decision. I promised, What did I say? I was
Speaker 1: going to discuss the best and worst decision was involving
Speaker 1: an edible. Yeah, please continue. Okay, if people are still
Speaker 1: listening to this very silly, weird show, I'm not super
Speaker 1: into pot and I don't know. I'm just not and
Speaker 1: that's okay, And if you are, that's cool. I'm not
Speaker 1: a big drinker. I'm not super into pot. Never been
Speaker 1: a big drug guy. Never be a big drug guy.
Speaker 1: Turn here, Okay, go ahead, I'm listening, but I don't
Speaker 1: remember when it was, and maybe we can look this up.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, though, I think it was last spring
Speaker 1: at some point because I was in Brooklyn. This was
Speaker 1: definitely in Brooklyn. And my brother said, hey, you ever
Speaker 1: have an edible? And I said, maybe once or twice.
Speaker 1: Maybe once or twice. But I I'm not as super
Speaker 1: into them because they're unpredictable because it's basically how your
Speaker 1: body metabolized. The timing of your body metabolizing the edible
Speaker 1: is how the payoff occurs. So it's unpredictable. You don't
Speaker 1: know if it to take fifteen minutes or forty eight minutes.
Speaker 1: And I remember sitting on the couch with Jody. She
Speaker 1: fell asleep, solid, baby, long, long asleep. I would never
Speaker 1: ever ever do something like that while little man was awake,
Speaker 1: let alone. I just never do this. So I popped
Speaker 1: it watching some TV. Nothing happened. I'm like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: maybe this was just a dud. And then I mean,
Speaker 1: Jody's very asleep, and all of a sudden, I start
Speaker 1: floating above the couch. I start floating on the couch.
Speaker 1: I called my dad and he's like, hey, man, enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Have yourself a night. So I'm watching TV. I'm feeling great,
Speaker 1: I'm snacking a little bit, and I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what I should do? I should call time. I
Speaker 1: should call time. Do you remember when this was? I do? I?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't remember when it was. I remember
Speaker 2: the call. I could probably find when it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you guys were just super supportive. You were
Speaker 1: just like you were just I remember you has turn
Speaker 1: on the Roku screensaver the fish right, hang with some fish.
Speaker 1: I just remember that. I thought that was a great
Speaker 1: That wasn't the best decision I made all year, but
Speaker 1: that was a good decision to call you and Kate
Speaker 1: saw chat. Yeah, like ten forty seven pm Eastern. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we were thinking you caught me on the rare Friday.
Speaker 1: I say it was a Friday, that might make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was awake at that hour, which doesn't
Speaker 2: happen a whole lot lately. And I seem to remember.
Speaker 2: We talked for what felt like a good ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes about the Roku screensaver and the fish there are.
Speaker 1: There is a variety of fish there are in very
Speaker 1: intense fish at that moment. Mm hmm. Yeah, No, it
Speaker 1: was a great call. I just I'm very happy with that.
Speaker 1: Not the best. The best decision I made was probably
Speaker 1: going with Jody and the solid toddler out to California
Speaker 1: when things got bad in Brooklyn last March. And then
Speaker 1: the actual best decision was probably coming out to Chicago
Speaker 1: to be closer to family during a very difficult time.
Speaker 1: I'm very glad we did that. That was the best,
Speaker 1: and so now we are here. The worst decision was
Speaker 1: when we were out in California. I said to myself, Man,
Speaker 1: I had such a good time with that edible calling
Speaker 1: Tie in Kate that a few months later I said,
Speaker 1: I'm going to pop another edible And I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that edibles can be a very differing strength and I
Speaker 1: am a weakling Tie and I pop said edible and
Speaker 1: it hit me and it was like Ray mau Luga
Speaker 1: hit me. It was a feeling that I I called
Speaker 1: a couple. I didn't call you. I don't think did
Speaker 1: I call you? I think you did call I think
Speaker 1: did I call you in May or June or whenever?
Speaker 1: That was no, it was actually early Aprils when that
Speaker 1: was Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like I have a full rolodex of Dan
Speaker 2: edible experiences.
Speaker 1: Somewhere in my favor blog. I took precisely two edibles
Speaker 1: in the past, let's call it eight years or something.
Speaker 1: I got both calls. I think you might have gotten
Speaker 1: both calls. And it was the worst decision I could
Speaker 1: be making up this milligram dosage. Have we been doing
Speaker 1: the show for now thirteen years and this is the
Speaker 1: first time we've talked about drugs. Probably probably okay, took
Speaker 1: us a minute to warm up, But I believe the
Speaker 1: first the Roku fish edible, I believe was a five milligram,
Speaker 1: which is not strong by any stretch. It's not the weakest,
Speaker 1: but it's not nothing crazy that I can tell. I
Speaker 1: think I was given a twenty in early April, and
Speaker 1: it was like I was watching myself freak out in bed,
Speaker 1: and I remember calling my brother in law. I remember
Speaker 1: calling some of Jody's friends. I think my brother gave
Speaker 1: me sugar water, because apparently that helps you come down.
Speaker 1: It was the clear worst decision I made in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty was to just assume all edibles are created equal
Speaker 1: as a complete novice and lightweight whoa whoa.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, it's no microwave story, but it will suffice Dan,
Speaker 2: I made it up.
Speaker 1: But it was I did make it out. I slept beautifully.
Speaker 1: I woke up and it was like that. I heard
Speaker 1: the like the Windows ninety five music greet me. It
Speaker 1: was magical. So I guess all's well, that ends well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was the clear worst decision I made,
Speaker 1: those phone calls, the Roku screens Screens discussion was that
Speaker 1: could have been its own podcast. That was terrific. It
Speaker 1: was and maybe this is something we do on Discord
Speaker 1: someday we probably should have. But that's okay. Me Tie
Speaker 1: seven and a half combined milligrams nineteen ninety eight, Wake
Speaker 1: Forest Way, Virginia Tech. Just something absurd, Oh my gosh. Fun. Well, look,
Speaker 1: this is fun. We're adults. It's is it legal in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. You have no idea. You live
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. It's it's not by scene at the moment
Speaker 1: I have known. Okay, yeah, marijuana legal, PA. Illegal for
Speaker 1: recreational use, but possession of small amounts have been decriminalized.
Speaker 1: Oh so okay, we're good. You're good. Well, fun show,
Speaker 1: Daniel very On that note.
Speaker 2: On that note, thank you so much to everybody out
Speaker 2: there for writing in for letting us know how your
Speaker 2: year went, not for your team, but for you as
Speaker 2: a person. I hope you're all doing well here as
Speaker 2: we very gradually work our way into spring. It's getting
Speaker 2: warmer out there. It's getting warmer out here. Staying light
Speaker 2: a little bit longer. Hopefully at some point in the
Speaker 2: next year, they're going to install my fence so the
Speaker 2: dog can rip around the yard.
Speaker 1: Send us your edible stories, Send us your edible stories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can apparently go to New Jersey. Tie Phil Murphy
Speaker 1: got it done. Okay, so you're good to go on
Speaker 1: that front.
Speaker 2: Good to go for that guy over there, my good
Speaker 2: friend Dan Rubensteed from myself, Tie Hill the brand. We
Speaker 2: will talk to you all next week. In the meantime,
Speaker 2: stay safe, stay happy, oh, stay healthy, stay warm and
Speaker 2: stay solid.
Speaker 1: Peace
