WEBVTT - Decisions, Decisions...

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid verbal hull that for me, I'm

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to be happy, you want to be happy

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for Dake Edith State is that woof?

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Woof?

<v Speaker 2>Ty Hilda Brand joining me as always Dan Rubinstein over

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>there in summery, Chicago, Illinois.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Daniel, sir, how are you good? Burbs of Chicago, Illinois,

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Burbs Burbs, North Burbs. I am excited to do this show.

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>This is a I don't know if it's a Q

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and A show as much as it is. We asked

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a Q of people on social media and they submitted

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a's as it relates to the past year of their

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite program and their lives themselves and me personally, Ty,

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>because that's what you ask. How you if this is

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a show about the best and worst decisions, I can

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you in the short term, I just had a

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>slice of extremely dense chocolate cake going in great decision

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>as we stand right now, very confusing, possibly regretful decision.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm here with you.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 2>One decision that runs the full gamut is an interesting

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>perspective that I think we're going to explore a little

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.400

<v Speaker 2>YouTube at the slash e Solid Verbal and a twitch stream,

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>which I must add you did a pizza bake for

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the first time on twitch stream. Got a little bit

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of traction. Folks were asking some questions out there. Mom

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 2>h referred to you just on the sly as Danny Rubentino. Oh,

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I like that after seeing what you did with pizza.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.679
<v Speaker 2>So she's very excited and wants to see more of

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>your pizza bakes. I don't know if that's something you

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 2>can accommodate, if.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Only for her.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Secondly, I've got a big game coming up. I know

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I've been playing the old NCAA franchise on there. M M.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I've got a big game coming up against a friend

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>either Friday or Saturday night. We haven't decided yet, but

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>stay tuned to our social media channels and of course

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the Patreon discord server at verbollers dot com for more

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>information about when that big matchup is going to occur.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>But I'm getting myself mentally prepared to ye, I can't wait.

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Were you were struggling last night when during your do

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you want me to want to temple you?

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>No? I was texting you during the the stream I

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>was watching. It was a field last night. It was

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in a three all. A little before halftime, you threw

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>an ugly, ugly pick you were you got an explosive

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>play before halftime. I didn't watch the second half. I

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>assume you held on. I want an overtime against Temple nice.

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>A rock fight in the first half. Second half picked up.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, we got a big matchup coming up against

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>a human opponent in the next couple of days. So again,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>that's out at Twitch dot tv slash Solid Verbal on

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>tonight's show. We promised you we're going to be doing

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>one Q and a show per month throughout the off season.

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Today is that show, and we've got a unique spin

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>on it. Dan looking back looking forward, chocolate cake dilemma,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>anundrum if you will, decisions decisions is what we are

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>titling this here content. What what decisions decisions are we.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So I asked verbalers to let us know what is

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the absolute best decision that their favorite team or program

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>made in the last year. So it could be something

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>on the field, it could be something as it relates

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to hiring a coach, retaining a coach, uniform, all sorts

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 1>of things, anything related to your program. And then personally,

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>so the best decision, the worst decision about your program,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and then personally, what was the best decision. Obviously, these

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>past three hundred and sixty five days have been largely

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>very different for all of us. So best and worst

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>decision you yourself made. That's sort of issued at everybody

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>listening who responded, and we got some incredible responses, and

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm prepared to give mine for my team and for

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>my life. I hope you are as well. I know

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you said you had a huge professional reveal. I don't

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>know what that means, but I'm excited to get into it. Well,

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>where do we want to start? Do we want to

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>start with our teams?

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>We want to start with our person What makes the

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 2>most sense for you?

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>You mean like, should we start with college football or human? Yeah?

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Why are you correct? Oh? College football?

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 2>So the best decision that my team made in twenty

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty was an easy one, and that was joining the ACC.

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame did so out of necessity. I don't know

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>what it would have looked like if they hadn't. My

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 2>guess is they still would have found a way to

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>play games, but it wouldn't nearly have been as high

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 2>profile as it ended up being. Huge win against Clemson,

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously made the ACC Championship, obviously made the playoff game,

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 2>so it was, by all accounts a successful season. Did

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>not end the way many Notre Dame fans and I'm

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>sure Notre Dame players would have hoped. But I think,

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>just in terms of what was the best decision they made,

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Jack Swarbrick pulling the trigger early joining the ACC, becoming

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that fifteenth team on a one time only basis, In

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 2>my book, that's a huge dub. I hope they end

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 2>up going in that direction moving forward, whether it's with

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 2>the ACC, the Big Ten, some other conference. I've long

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>been a proponent of Notre Dame joining and ending the

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 2>independence when it makes financial league yea, yeah, well Aliga, yeah,

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 2>League one, Uber eats whatever works for them, I'm fine with.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>But I think it was a huge move, a great

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>move by Swarbrick, and it was cool to see it.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>If that's really the only glimpse we're going to get

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>at them in a conference, what's the what was the

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>worst move of the past year from Notre Dame. I

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.559
<v Speaker 1>struggle with the worst move or worst decision? Yeah, well,

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean you could, you could, you could

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>split hairs here if you really wanted to.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that I had trouble coming up with

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>a worst decision, a decision that I thought.

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>It's all relative too. It doesn't mean you have to

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>come up with a catastrophe, but just in terms of

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a very successful year.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Yea, yeah, there were no catastrophes. I will say this,

0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the one decision that I am wondering about, I am

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 2>curious about, Like the chocolate cake and the belly state.

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Of things, I'm in a strange place is.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>The Tommy Reess decision at to go with Tommy Rees

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>at offensive coordinator. And I struggle even saying that aloud

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>because I really like Tommy Reese.

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I really like him.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps I'm biased because we spent so much time talking

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>about him on the show and Reesis became part of

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>our content for like four straight years. I really want

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>him to work out. I do think he's got a

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>promising future as a head football coach at some point

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>in time. And I totally get why Notre Dame would

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>appoint him to that position. But he's pre damn green

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>before taking over the Raids, and so not to say

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:55.119
<v Speaker 2>anybody else, Chip Long any other coordinator was gonna get

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>more blood out of the stone that was Ian Book

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>at quarterback. But that's not even fair good quarterback.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure, but I just.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I need more information before I'm fully comfortable with that

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>as a good, long lasting, sustainable decision.

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Well also, I mean I don't want to get too

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>in the way. This is well trod territory, if that's

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a word. You know, what if Notre Dame upgrades from

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Reese to I don't know what, Phil Longo at

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina, somebody who has been consistently a good coordinator

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>or something like that with a lot more experience. Isn't

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>ian book Notre dame offense beyond merely good? I don't know.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean it also depends on like Notre Dame didn't

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>really have killers at receiver, and it just you know,

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a ceiling for Notre Dame's offense. So I

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>think that you qualified it. I think you couched it

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty well.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look, the receiver component of this is important.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>There were plenty of players with these guys just weren't

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 2>getting open. Yeah, and there was no separation. That does

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 2>not all fall on the shoulder of ian Book. Ian

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Book is not without his own limitations, but within the system,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 2>ian Book was very good. Ianbook won a lot of games.

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Ian Book got him to a conference championship game in

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 2>the playoff, so say what you want, but he got

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the job done when he had to. I think we're

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>going to find out more about Reese this coming season,

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>because you know, whether it's Jack Cohne in the short

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 2>term probably will be, whether it's a guy like a

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Buckner.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>New recruit.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 2>In the long term that remains to be seen. But

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>he will now have an opportunity to really put his

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 2>stamp on the program moving forward with a fresh face

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 2>at quarterback, which is where he should really excel being

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>so he knows the position well from his own time

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and Notre Dame. So we'll see.

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Oregon's best decision was to make a defensive adjustment later

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>on in the season. They were running some very strange

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>looks which had the defensive line two three yards off

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage to try to confuse and do

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of I don't know, stunting and caveon. Thibodeau

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>ended up at like middle linebacker in some set and

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>then they sort of scrapped that and went back to

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>what worked and absolutely demolished USC upfront in that very

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 1>odd happenstance of a Pac twelve championship game. But that

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>was a fantastic decision, and of course Andy Avlos rode

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a stronger and to the regular season before bowlseason to

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the head coaching job at Boise State, so good for him.

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>That was a very good decision to get back to

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>what worked for the Oregon defense. You know, the hiring

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 1>of Joe moorehead was before three hundred and sixty five

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>days ago. That was a late January, I believe, so

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't count. But I think in terms of twenty twenty,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that was a fantastic move and I stand by it,

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>even though the offense didn't really fully work out for Oregon.

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I would say the worst thing that Oregon did was

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>probably the belief in quarterback probably lasted too long when

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it was looking like it was not going to be

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Shuck, rising to the occasion later on in the

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>season in those games against you know, Oregon State and

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Cal and there was just it was tough. It was

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a tough watch once it was clear that if he

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>was to be pressured, it was not going to go

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>well for Oregon's offense. So that was probably the worst move.

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>But all in all, a very positive year for Oregon

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>football and an abbreviated season to still win the Pac twelve.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.839
<v Speaker 1>So again, it's all a relative complaint. Do you have

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a personal best and worst decision you made last year?

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And oh Dan, Oh Dan, I think so Okay, the

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 2>best decision I made was to take up home projects.

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>And I've said this before. This isn't going to come

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>as any surprise to folks who listened to this show,

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 2>but I think taking up home projects, anything that gets

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 2>you away from a screen, the best has really been rewarding.

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So we painted like five yeah, five rooms in this house.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not five rooms, it felt.

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Like five rooms. But you also tried Korean barbecue for

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the first time within three hundred and sixty five days ago. Yeah, correct,

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that's true.

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.559
<v Speaker 2>The last time was right before we all went into

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>quarantine up in New York with you. But no, the

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>home project's bit painting has been has really been like

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>more fun than I expected, if only because again there's

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>no computer screen involved. We also committed to buying a

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>fence for the solid pup, but because everything is on

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 2>back order and literally the entire world had the exact

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 2>same idea, we have yet to receive said fence. So

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 2>if we're going chocolate cake, this is the decision that

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>felt good on the way in, but has felt a

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>little less good each day since we're still waiting, and furthermore,

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>since they still have a huge deposit check that I

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>put down on said fence.

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, so hopefully we're gonna get good for you at

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>some point here.

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Worst decision worst decision Dan was buying a new microwave. Okay,

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 2>why worst decision was buying a new microwave. We had

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the unfortunate circumstance of the microwave that came with the house.

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it was the original microwave when the house

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 2>was built. That thing went could put around mid April.

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>First decision in a year, it is, there's more mid

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>April when could put made an awful sound whenever you

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>turn the thing on.

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>No longer heated any food.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Just so happens that a appliance dealer was offering a

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Memorial Day sale shortly thereafter, could get a really good

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a ge brand microwave for a

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>fraction of the price. They cumming they'd install it. They'd

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>been here before, so it was a good deal.

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Called them up. It fit the space.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 2>They came out, they tried to install it, and that's

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 2>when all hell broke loose, Dan, All hell broke loose

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>as they popped the old microwave out and put the

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>new one in. They come to discover that the door

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>only opens about a quarter of the way. And that's

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.719
<v Speaker 2>because my kitchen has an odd can figuration. Most microwaves.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>When you've got an above the range microwave like most

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>people do, or a lot of people do. You don't

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>have an obstruction blocking the door from opening, But in

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the case of our kitchen, there's actually sort of like

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a mini wall there.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>This is almost like you're filibustering a college football podcast.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly what's happening. The door wouldn't open. It

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't open, and nobody, nobody makes one that will unless

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to spend like fifteen hundred dollars to get

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a microwave that opens top to bottom or bottom of

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the top. So you know what's happened, Dan, what's happened

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>is after trying another microwave, after getting my money back,

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>after trying poorly to install the old microwave back into

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the space, I now have a giant gaping hole where

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 2>my microwave used to be. And I haven't had a

0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 2>microwave for close to a year. First world problem.

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, this is even first world problems. This is

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the only person with the problem. This minute be their

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest decision. It's a beautiful You can't what would you

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>do if you could warm food up in a microwave.

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I have a toaster, and I have a regular oven,

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I have a stove. I have used these things as well,

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>steamer basket. None of them are.

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>As convenient as a microwave. Okay, don't pooh pooh this.

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>This is microwave dietribe. I will postpone my best and

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>worst life decisions until the end of the show. Here's

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the teas. They both involve an edible. Oh okay, they

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>will involve an edible, and one of them at least

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>involves you. So there's that. Okay, okay, let's go to

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>some college football answers from fans from across the country.

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>We've got some really good ones. We're gonna start with Instagram. Actually,

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>usually we save Instagram for last. We're gonna start with this.

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got Sam saying Texas fired Tom Herman, hooray, but

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>also set Bijehan Robinson for Keyante Ingram for way too long.

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, We've got a bunch of

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Michigan people saying the worst decision that Michigan made this

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>year was not firing Jim Harbaugh. Yeah wow, interesting, Wow, interesting.

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 2>That's who is there a guy? This is the question

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>that nobody's been able to answer.

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get it, there's always a guy. Well, there's

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>always a guy. I get it. But if not Horbaw,

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>then who?

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 2>And who are you expecting to come into the situation

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and make an immediate impact that's going to turn them

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>into like an eleven win team. Is that guy out there?

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Harbaugh still feels like a good coach. He's getting paid

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a ton. Maybe he's getting a little long in the

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>tooth in ann Arbor at this point, and it's not

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be a long term situation. But I just

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 2>until I get an answer, an obvious answer to if

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>not Harball, then who, it's really hard for me to

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 2>take it seriously despite all the frustrations that I think

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>is associated.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>With him always gonna have. You know, Luke Fickle, Matt Campbell,

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>there are coaches in the Midwest with a Midwestern footprint

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.119
<v Speaker 1>who I'm sure would be happy to take over an

0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 1>enormous program with enormous resources. But yeah, you're right, and

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Luke Fickele, obviously with his Ohio State ties, is it

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>complicates it. But yeah, there are guys, Tye, there are

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>guys that are willing to take six and a half

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 1>seven million dollars to Candle Premier program.

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.919
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you poop pooed my microwave story. This

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 2>has been very traumatic over the last year.

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Dan, It's just been a really tough year for a

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. And here you are saying your worst decision.

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the worst thing that happened in the world

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty, I know, but my worst decision was

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>buying that microwave.

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Continue. We had some Georgia fans say, best decision starting,

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 1>finally starting JT. Daniels worst waiting to play JT. Daniels. Yeah,

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 1>that long? Well was that was that a decision though

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to wait to play him?

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Or was it?

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Was it more a matter of medical clearance? I mean

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it could have been out of an abundance of caution, Okay,

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>And then I don't know, who knows. We've got a

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of Florida letting Kyle Trask really shine and trusting

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>him and opening up the playbook and really letting him

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>do what he does best, which is pick apart defenses.

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>And the worst obviously throwing a shoe key moment against LSU.

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>The shoe was terrible. I've got a Notre dame joining

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the ACC as the best decision, accepting playoff invitation as

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Notre dame in that nice place of like, Hey, we

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 1>lost the most respectively of most teams who played Alabama,

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess outside of Florida. So there's that. Let's see

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what else we have we have from Damn Klobacar long

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>time for baller. The best decision Perdue made was related

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to their uniforms. Everything else was the bad decision I

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was made. Yeah, I was waiting for.

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Some uniform hot takes here. I thought I thought we'd

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>get more of them. But okay, good.

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>He also gave of us. His best life decision was

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>buying home gym equipment the day things started shutting down,

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>so we had a squat rack all year. So, in

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>case you're wondering, Dan Klobokar likely likely has terrific glutes,

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>great glutes, he just tree trunks his thighs is if

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 1>he's been squatting more consistently than most at home this year.

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 1>His worst is not buying a nice office chair for

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>his house. Yeah, that's key, Interesting, it's key. Okay, we

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of JT. Daniels. Best decision for BYU

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>going with Zach Wilson, letting him shine. I don't know

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>how much of a choice they had. But the worst

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>decision playing Coastal within sixty hours Coastal Carolina. M. Yeah, Yeah,

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that was you know what, I think that was a

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>great decision. You just needed to stop them a little

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>bit more. Yeah, I still think it was a good decision.

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 2>It was good. It was a good decision. Sometimes you

0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 2>need to think bigger picture. That was a really good

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 2>decision for a college football season that needed a little

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of a boost at that point in time. Everybody

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 2>watched that game. Everybody watched that game, and it was

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>like the best game of the year.

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>We had some Ohio State fans talk about a great

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>decision in bringing in Trey Sermon as a transfer running

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>back from Oklahoma and really leaning on him when things

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 1>got dicey both against Northwestern and Clemson. Certainly, Tray Sermon

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>more than carried his weight did his part to power

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State forward. And then we got a lot of

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 1>both Sean Wade and to a greater extent, tough Borland

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on an Island decision making. I guess Sean Wade was

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>sort of moved from the inside and playing sort of

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>nickel corner's safety snaps into being an outside corner, and

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that didn't fully go well for Ohio state. But then yeah,

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:53.959
<v Speaker 1>tough Borland, especially highlighted by on An Island against DeVante Smith.

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It got dicey tie. I don't know if you remember,

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh I remember did get dicey with a linebacker on

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:01.919
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Smith.

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me pose one to you a different situation from

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the perspective of the PAC twelve. Is the best decision

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.919
<v Speaker 2>firing Larry Scott and then or letting Larry Scott go,

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 2>and the worst decision deciding to play a season at all.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:21.879
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think it was a bad decision to

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 1>play a season. The PAC twelve was able to play football.

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:32.360
<v Speaker 1>They took a lot of precautions, I think all in all,

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the PAC twolve didn't have a playoff caliber team,

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>so it's not like they quitted themselves terribly by playing.

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>The Larry Scott thing is tbd. We got to see,

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just like you mentioned with Jim Harbaugh, who do they

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>bring in? What's the impact? Yeah, what is the reaction?

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>What does the money look like in the next TV deal?

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>What does the distribution look like? Because right now, the

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>PAC twelve before gambled on people being interested in the

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 1>PAC twelve and its network getting barriers to help foot

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the bill by saying, oh, Direct TV wants to pay

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>however many cents per whatever, and it worked out financially,

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 1>it did not work out financially. And so what does

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>it look like as the broadcast landscape? And I don't

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.199
<v Speaker 1>know how much you want to get into this, but

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 1>like I have no idea what broadcast TV slash streaming

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>is and look like in two years, everybody's sort of

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>starting their own service and saying you want HBO, Well,

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't need Comcast, you don't need AT and T.

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I go AT and T. I guess owns HBO now,

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but you don't need some sort of cable service, just

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.919
<v Speaker 1>just grab HBO. And so as that changes, like if

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't care about PAC twelve, Big twelve or Big

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>ten football and you just want sec ACC, we got

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you just the ESPN app, that's all you need. And

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 1>so they're things like that that are going to be fascinating,

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 1>with the PAC twelve right now looking like of the

0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Power five conferences the least attractive from a financial perspective

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I talked about this with Matt Brown, and so let's

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.160
<v Speaker 2>let's play a more futuristic version of this same game.

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 2>If I told you in three years and we'll get

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 2>back to the responses here.

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:14.480
<v Speaker 1>We got many of them.

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 2>If I told you in three years that the PAC

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>twelve cut a deal with Google and YouTube, and it's

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a different kind of deal. It's not necessarily going to

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:30.680
<v Speaker 2>be standard cable, but they're going to put every game

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube that you can watch and then some of those.

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>So any any digital device, any ott any phone, tablet, laptop,

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>everything on YouTube. PA twelve could be on YouTube.

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>You can watch any PACK twelve game wherever you want

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube, and they will, you know, maybe they'll sell

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 2>some of that back to a network.

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>If they're say they're going to sell your data, Yeah,

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>going to do that.

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 2>But three years from now, if you find out that

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 2>this is the deal that the PAC twelve cut, knowing

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 2>what you know now, is that best to decision?

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Worst decision? I don't think it's answerable right now, just

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 1>because we don't know what the actual product is. You

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>could watch PAC twelve games if you wanted to. For

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the most part, you couldn't watch maybe ten thirty PM

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Colorado Arizona kickoff without the PAC twelve network. But

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 1>the majority of big middle and not as good games

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of quality of matchup, you could watch people

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>just didn't a lot of the time. So sure it

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>makes it easier to watch. But if the product isn't

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>any good and isn't attractive to somebody in Minneapolis or

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Nashville or Orlando or something, it doesn't I don't know,

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.400
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean all that much to me. You still

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>need the killers at the top of every conference, and

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what the PAC twelve doesn't have, plural killers. What

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 1>else you got here? Pitt not accepting a bull bit

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>as a best decision. I'm cool with that. Yeah. If

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>players were just wanting to get home for the holidays

0:24:56.160 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and sick of quarantining and abting by extreme, extremely tight

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>protocol on campus and they wanted to get home and

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 1>spend time with family in a safe way, great with it. Yeah,

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not it's worst decision. Keeping Sean Watson at coordinator.

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't think you can really

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 2>fault anyone, be it a player or a team for

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the opt out.

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was a goof year. Yeah.

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>We got a bunch of I think like minded Tennessee

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 2>fans here who said that the best decision was firing

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Pruitt. Worst decision was extending.

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Pruett before the season. It's easy to forget that

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they did that before the seat. We have a lot

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of people regretful about not working out, so not having

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Dan Clobacar glutes that they had the time and or

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 1>ability to. But you know, it was it was tough

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>for all of us to just get up off the couch,

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 1>get away from the desk, and as lines blurred for

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us between work and personal time, you know,

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it became more and more difficult, especially this past month

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 1>or so. Here in Chicago. Worst decision, Yeah, there's more

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Pruitz scrolling through here. Oh I like this one. Well,

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:17.959
<v Speaker 1>now I lost it. We have not buying bitcoin at

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve k. I don't understand that per se, But it

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>looks like a Nebraska fan. So it was a tough

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>year for him. Best for a Penn State fan. James

0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Franklin using the transfer portal to add players. Worst James

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Franklin completely neglecting to use the transfer portal up until

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 1>like two months ago. Oh god, yeah, yeah. We had

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.880
<v Speaker 1>some with like not bringing in competition for Sean Clifford

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and seeing what they had in Roberson? Is that who

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Penn State fans one of the guys they were clamoring for.

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I assume in situations like that that it's extremely rare.

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm wrong about Robertson. I don't know. I haven't

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 1>seen him in live game action. Nobody has, but just

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>generally speaking, where it's just like, why aren't we seeing

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>what we have in this backup? The answer is generally

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>not always, but a good healthy percentage of the time

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>they're not good in practice, and so it becomes very

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>difficult to play somebody in a game that you've watched

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with your own eyes against a scout team be not good.

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's true about Roberson, but that

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to me from everything I have heard about various teams

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and when people are clamoring for a backup, that's generally

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the reason why. Or they're hurt, or they don't know

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the playbook like that. Coaches can be overly loyal, for sure,

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.239
<v Speaker 1>but there's generally more ink to be spilled about the

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.960
<v Speaker 1>reason for that ambivalence. I would say, you can't even

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>use the red.

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Shirt this year, not anymore because of the eligibility.

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, you also had four games too, so with that

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.439
<v Speaker 1>new role. Yeah, and I see that.

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We also have a comment here about making a move

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 2>to get Mike yoursitch getting rid of our boy Kirk Sharraka.

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Which is a bummer because we were pretty excited about

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Kirk Sharaka Shraka.

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>But it seems like that was not working. And I

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>do give James Franklin credit for acknowledging as much and

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>pulling the trigger on that one, making the move to

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 2>get your stitch. Now, I guess it remains to be

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 2>seen how successful that's going to be because we still

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 2>have big questions at quarterback and you know, I don't

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 2>know if your stitch you'll be able to clear those up.

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing to look at the quarterback transfer portal and

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:43.239
<v Speaker 1>look at the number of quarterbacks who as and this

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>is not a I'm not going to use this opportunity

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to name specific names because it's one of them. As

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 1>my resolution indicated, I'm trying to be less mean about

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>players playing poorly because they're just college kids and there

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 1>are a number of is always why a player doesn't

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of live up to expectations. But it's amazing looking

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>through the transfer portal and looking at the just the

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>C minus chairs being reshuffled across the sport at quarterback

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and wondering, what does this coach see in this quarterback

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>that makes them think that they are an answer if

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it's at a similar level, if you're going from the

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Big twelve to the SEC, if youre going from the

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Big ten to the ACC and so forth. I do

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>always wonder when a quarterback is pretty obviously not a

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Power five quarterback and then he just goes to another

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Power five program. I always wonder is it just a

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>numbers thing? Is it just that, Like it's always very

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>confusing to me. But I guess you got to find

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 1>roster spots, and you know, it's all variable every year.

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Does that ever like strike you when

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you look at like twenty four to seven does a

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>fantastic job with their they have a transfer portal, rundown

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 1>page yep. And typically when a quarterback struggles at a

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>mid level Power five school, really struggles to get better,

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>improve at all, and then just goes to a similarly

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>sized program and another conference, do you think it's Is

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it the confidence, the unwavering confidence that you're a better

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>coach and you can get the best out of this

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>guy in a way that the previous guy couldn't. Do

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you think that's what it is like, I don't, I

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>don't understand. I guess you just kind of fill out

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a room sometimes. But it's wild to me seeing some

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>of these transfers.

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is not a profession that is short on ego.

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 2>So I have no doubt that there is that there

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 2>is part of it. And we've seen that in professional sports,

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 2>journeymen who have bounced around from team to team to team,

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially in the NFL, each coach trying to

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>get the most out of that player, and in a

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of cases it doesn't work. In some cases it does.

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 1>But well, to be clear, the NFL are professional players. Sure,

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>these these are on some level good players. I know,

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Like there are guys like Nate Peterman who were just

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>like nightmares for the Bills and somehow keeps getting backup jobs.

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I know there's always gonna be those types of guys.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he was one who was pretty bad for

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bills. Right, He's very bad, extremely bad, very bad

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Bills. I understand when a power five quarterback

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work out at a major place or a somewhat

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>major place and they go down to play for a conference,

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>USA school whatever, Like, okay, cool, maybe that makes more

0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>sense for them. But yeah, like I'm doing my best

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>not to name names here, ty, I really am, but

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be specific. But it is always

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>wild to me when I see, like, oh, man, this

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 1>guy ended up here. What do they think they're getting?

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>What do they really think? Like, you're just getting an

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:45.239
<v Speaker 1>emergency second half guy if the starter goes down. I guess, so,

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's what it is. I guess it's that

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 1>confidence that, Okay, it didn't work out here. Maybe there

0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>were reasons. Maybe it's an injury thing. Maybe he had

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a really bad breakup right before the season. His head

0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in the game, but now he looks like he's

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>ready for a fresh start. That's I think the hope.

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>But man, yeah, year over year, as more guys leave,

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just wild to see the evaluation when there's so

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 1>much tape out there.

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>The hope is that these guys blow up and that

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they end up contributing as a starter, But there's probably

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>a depth angle as well, you know, the flip side.

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 2>I guess the counter argument having all that tape, is

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you kind of do know what you're getting. And sure,

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>for some coaches, I'll admit it's not like these guys

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 2>are transferring because they want to be backups, right, And

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure no coach would admit to that either. But

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>having more tape on some of these kids does give

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you a sense for what you got and if you

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>need depth, perhaps that's one way to plug the gap.

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.960
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be fascinating with the class of now

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 1>what twenty twenty one having not made official visits, A

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of them made on official visits, and of course

0:32:56.680 --> 0:33:00.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks commit earlier on in the cycle, so potentially these

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:02.360
<v Speaker 1>guys have been on a number of campuses and coaches

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>have been to camps or whatever, have hosted them at

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:08.120
<v Speaker 1>camps and have seen these guys throw. We have seen

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterback movement in a way that we've never seen, and

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>just general player transferring in ways that we haven't seen.

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Did you see that more and more schools are bringing

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in heads of transfer recruiting. Yeah, not just ordinary you know,

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 1>high school JC whatever, just like who are we like?

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's ear to the ground talking to high

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>school coaches seven on seven, coaches like, wow, this guy

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>just got benched, and you know he's open to a

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>fresh start somewhere new like that. And I don't even

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>say any of this in any sort of malicious way,

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 1>like it just sort of seems like a reality, a

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>necessary reality now now.

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, as Andy Staples said last week on the show,

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the emergence of a new transfer rule is sure coinciding

0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>with the nil legislation, which is going to hit in July,

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and it probably puts us in a position as college

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 2>football fans to see some really weird stuff that maybe

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 2>we don't even.

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Know about quite yet.

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.759
<v Speaker 2>So his point all along was that the transfer rule

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 2>may actually be the bigger deal.

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And to your point.

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Here, Director of Transfer Recruiting, my guess is you'll see

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 2>more of that.

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh, you're absolutely gonna see more. I'm just I

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>wonder what offenses look like moving forward. It's this very

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 1>strange feeling that I have where I'm like, man, I am,

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I am pro players finding their best fit. But at

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the same time, if you're in a system for two

0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>three years and then you're going to a new school,

0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you're getting used to a new campus and a new whatever,

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a new apartment, like everything is new and you're thrust

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>into a starting job like it's its own difficulties, Like

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>for every you know, Jalen Hurts thriving at Oklahoma after

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, proving himself to be a very good quarterback

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 1>at Alabama, but you know there's a younger guy who

0:34:56.800 --> 0:35:00.759
<v Speaker 1>has overtaken him Intua. For all of those, it's just

0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:06.439
<v Speaker 1>like hoping for the best, going somewhere new and hoping

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you pick up an offense, hoping you click with receivers,

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Hope you click with an offensive coordinator, Hope personal stuff

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get in the way because you have a girlfriend

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>back at your first school, and now you're across the

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>country from your parents and they can't come to see

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:20.800
<v Speaker 1>your games. And that's very stric Like I wonder what

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>it's like, And maybe that's a show we can do.

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>What it's like transferring after two, three, four years where

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.799
<v Speaker 1>you're starting over from scratch in terms of learning how

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to lead a team. More importantly, are.

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:36.359
<v Speaker 2>You sure that the feeling that you're getting is not

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 2>just too much colbrew? Because I know you've been hitting

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>that pretty hard tie over the last.

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Time cold brew. So I got a new grinder. I

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>got a new grinder, and it's it does a fantastic

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 1>job because you want a courser grind with coldbrew because

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it sits in it for a long time, so you

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:54.480
<v Speaker 1>don't need to immediately extract everything from the beans. I

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.920
<v Speaker 1>don't do colbrew, you know, I know, I know you don't.

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot. It's all the sun in my heart.

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. So I'm learning here. Yeah. No,

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm only drinking one cup of cold brew a day.

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>It just happens to be It happens to be pretty explosive.

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I also had chocolate cake right before

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the show. I just I honestly think, like what Like

0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Tate Martel is an example where he has an incredible

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 1>amount of natural talent, but it hasn't worked out for him.

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:26.359
<v Speaker 1>And what is it like bouncing we had Tate four Cia,

0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody named Tate or any McCaffrey other than Christian. What

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is it like to go to a place with a

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 1>good amount of hype, have it not work out for

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, and then be thrust into a almost savior role. Yeah,

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 1>thrust hi, I'll say it. No, I don't know. No,

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:48.719
<v Speaker 1>It's fascinating. It's like we think about things in a

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>very professional sports free agent mindset, And it just feels

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 1>so much different when you're nineteen and just trying to

0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out the world rather than you're twenty nine and

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you get traded and you're going to be a stretch

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 1>for And it's fine, you can pick up a new

0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 1>NBA offense, if you can hit a three, if you

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 1>can guard multiple positions, you're fine. You know you're a pro.

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 1>You sign up for this. But I just, you know,

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what are the struggles and challenges that we're

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>not thinking of if we just look at these players

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 1>as quarterbacks or defensive tackles, Because it just it feels

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:30.880
<v Speaker 1>like there's so much more to it. All right, what

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>else do we got here? We got time for a

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 1>couple more, all right, you tell me, you have the

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>list in front of you. What has popped out to

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State. Best decision making the change from Rocky Lombardi,

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 1>who's now in the transfer portal, to Peyton Thorn at quarterback, Right,

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what we got. A decision.

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 2>We've got Clemson from Will saying the best was giving

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Tony Elliott a raise. The worst was not changing the

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 2>defensive strategy versus Ohio State in the second half. Not

0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 2>sure how much that would have affected things, but adjustments

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 2>could have helped. With the question mark at the end,

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.280
<v Speaker 2>here's an interesting one. Okay, so thank you, will best

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:11.239
<v Speaker 2>and worst decision? Getting really good at using zoom?

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh interesting, I like that.

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:17.560
<v Speaker 2>That's a very interesting answer. Will you're good at zoom?

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's hard to be bad at zoom?

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Ty, I am on a zoom call. Anytime I'm on

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a zoom call, you're also on that call. To put

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>it that way, So I'm not on that many. You're

0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 1>on much more because you have a job that requires

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:40.879
<v Speaker 1>that sort of communication across different countries and languages and

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Geneva conventions, things like that. Correct, that's right. Are you

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 1>good at zoom? Have you gotten better at zoom?

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't think it's a thing that you

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 2>get better at, per se, I've gotten more used to it.

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>You ever attend a zoom call with a seventy seven

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.399
<v Speaker 1>year old tie. You can get better and you can

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 1>get worse. That's fair. I'll tell you what I have lately.

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a little case of the zoom yips lately.

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I have a little case of zoom yips.

0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Happened to me again today. What does that mean?

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I got a new headset, and the headset's got a

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 2>different configuration for the mute button. And so now I'm

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:26.680
<v Speaker 2>starting to be the guy who starts talking only to

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 2>hear somebody say in my headset, we can't hear it.

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>You must be on mute. Hmmm, Ti there, Tie, Tie,

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Tie you there. Yeah, God, I'm mute. Tie. That's exactly

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:37.760
<v Speaker 1>what's happening.

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 2>And then, of course, you know, you always have the

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:41.879
<v Speaker 2>go to line like, oh, sorry, sorry, I was on mute.

0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I get a new headset.

0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Computers acting up, A lot of computer's been acting up

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 2>over the last year, but ultimately it's easier er. So

0:39:50.400 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I've been pretty good at avoiding that. I do have

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 2>a little case of the yips right now that I'm

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:55.839
<v Speaker 2>trying to work through.

0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Was there a worse decision than hiring Wow from Ed

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Orgeron in terms of coordinators this past year, in terms

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of available talent, strength of an opponent's offense or defense.

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Wherever you hired, there were some bad decisions, but LSU

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>doing that, I know they lso improved over the course

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of the season somewhat, and they had, you know, a

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:24.920
<v Speaker 1>ton of injury stuff. I think they finished eightieth or

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 1>something like that, so below average in terms of defensive

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>points per drive, below average from where they were, and

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>considering the talent level, I guess it's all relative. But yeah,

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>considering the paycheck that he drew, that's a pretty bad

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>one time.

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a That was a lot of money, Dan, Yeah, yeah,

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money for something that didn't really work

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 2>out that well.

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:54.520
<v Speaker 1>No, Kansas not working out under less miles. That was

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.320
<v Speaker 1>not this past year Kevin Sumlin hired. I think that

0:40:57.400 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 1>was a great decision to go in a new direction

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.400
<v Speaker 1>for Arizona. Yes, I agree. I thought that was a

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>great decision. I promised, What did I say? I was

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>going to discuss the best and worst decision was involving

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:13.200
<v Speaker 1>an edible. Yeah, please continue. Okay, if people are still

0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>listening to this very silly, weird show, I'm not super

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>into pot and I don't know. I'm just not and

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, And if you are, that's cool. I'm not

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a big drinker. I'm not super into pot. Never been

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a big drug guy. Never be a big drug guy.

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Turn here, Okay, go ahead, I'm listening, but I don't

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>remember when it was, and maybe we can look this up.

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember, though, I think it was last spring

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>at some point because I was in Brooklyn. This was

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:46.439
<v Speaker 1>definitely in Brooklyn. And my brother said, hey, you ever

0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 1>have an edible? And I said, maybe once or twice.

0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe once or twice. But I I'm not as super

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>into them because they're unpredictable because it's basically how your

0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:02.279
<v Speaker 1>body metabolized. The timing of your body metabolizing the edible

0:42:02.400 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 1>is how the payoff occurs. So it's unpredictable. You don't

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.000
<v Speaker 1>know if it to take fifteen minutes or forty eight minutes.

0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And I remember sitting on the couch with Jody. She

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>fell asleep, solid, baby, long, long asleep. I would never

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 1>ever ever do something like that while little man was awake,

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:22.000
<v Speaker 1>let alone. I just never do this. So I popped

0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it watching some TV. Nothing happened. I'm like, all right, well,

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe this was just a dud. And then I mean,

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Jody's very asleep, and all of a sudden, I start

0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 1>floating above the couch. I start floating on the couch.

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I called my dad and he's like, hey, man, enjoy it.

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Have yourself a night. So I'm watching TV. I'm feeling great,

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm snacking a little bit, and I was like, you

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:52.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I should do? I should call time. I

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.279
<v Speaker 1>should call time. Do you remember when this was? I do? I?

0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I don't remember when it was. I remember

0:42:57.560 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the call. I could probably find when it was.

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And you guys were just super supportive. You were

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>just like you were just I remember you has turn

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Roku screensaver the fish right, hang with some fish.

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I just remember that. I thought that was a great

0:43:15.080 --> 0:43:17.880
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't the best decision I made all year, but

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.279
<v Speaker 1>that was a good decision to call you and Kate

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:25.359
<v Speaker 1>saw chat. Yeah, like ten forty seven pm Eastern. Yeah,

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and we were thinking you caught me on the rare Friday.

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I say it was a Friday, that might make sense.

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I was awake at that hour, which doesn't

0:43:32.880 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 2>happen a whole lot lately. And I seem to remember.

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 2>We talked for what felt like a good ten to

0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:44.879
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minutes about the Roku screensaver and the fish there are.

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:47.799
<v Speaker 1>There is a variety of fish there are in very

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:52.400
<v Speaker 1>intense fish at that moment. Mm hmm. Yeah, No, it

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 1>was a great call. I just I'm very happy with that.

0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Not the best. The best decision I made was probably

0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>going with Jody and the solid toddler out to California

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.720
<v Speaker 1>when things got bad in Brooklyn last March. And then

0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 1>the actual best decision was probably coming out to Chicago

0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to be closer to family during a very difficult time.

0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm very glad we did that. That was the best,

0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and so now we are here. The worst decision was

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 1>when we were out in California. I said to myself, Man,

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I had such a good time with that edible calling

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Tie in Kate that a few months later I said,

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to pop another edible And I didn't realize

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that edibles can be a very differing strength and I

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 1>am a weakling Tie and I pop said edible and

0:44:42.120 --> 0:44:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it hit me and it was like Ray mau Luga

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:51.439
<v Speaker 1>hit me. It was a feeling that I I called

0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.799
<v Speaker 1>a couple. I didn't call you. I don't think did

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I call you? I think you did call I think

0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:00.360
<v Speaker 1>did I call you in May or June or whenever?

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 1>That was no, it was actually early Aprils when that

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:03.439
<v Speaker 1>was Yeah.

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I have a full rolodex of Dan

0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 2>edible experiences.

0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Somewhere in my favor blog. I took precisely two edibles

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in the past, let's call it eight years or something.

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I got both calls. I think you might have gotten

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:24.480
<v Speaker 1>both calls. And it was the worst decision I could

0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:27.759
<v Speaker 1>be making up this milligram dosage. Have we been doing

0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the show for now thirteen years and this is the

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 1>first time we've talked about drugs. Probably probably okay, took

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 1>us a minute to warm up, But I believe the

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>first the Roku fish edible, I believe was a five milligram,

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:50.120
<v Speaker 1>which is not strong by any stretch. It's not the weakest,

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>but it's not nothing crazy that I can tell. I

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>think I was given a twenty in early April, and

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:04.640
<v Speaker 1>it was like I was watching myself freak out in bed,

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:08.279
<v Speaker 1>and I remember calling my brother in law. I remember

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 1>calling some of Jody's friends. I think my brother gave

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:14.440
<v Speaker 1>me sugar water, because apparently that helps you come down.

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:20.040
<v Speaker 1>It was the clear worst decision I made in twenty

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty was to just assume all edibles are created equal

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:29.399
<v Speaker 1>as a complete novice and lightweight whoa whoa.

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, it's no microwave story, but it will suffice Dan,

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I made it up.

0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:41.160
<v Speaker 1>But it was I did make it out. I slept beautifully.

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I woke up and it was like that. I heard

0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the like the Windows ninety five music greet me. It

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:55.160
<v Speaker 1>was magical. So I guess all's well, that ends well.

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that was the clear worst decision I made,

0:46:57.200 --> 0:47:02.719
<v Speaker 1>those phone calls, the Roku screens Screens discussion was that

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:06.439
<v Speaker 1>could have been its own podcast. That was terrific. It

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was and maybe this is something we do on Discord

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:14.800
<v Speaker 1>someday we probably should have. But that's okay. Me Tie

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:20.359
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half combined milligrams nineteen ninety eight, Wake

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Forest Way, Virginia Tech. Just something absurd, Oh my gosh. Fun. Well, look,

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>this is fun. We're adults. It's is it legal in Pennsylvania?

0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:34.160
