Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal Hell 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 day Ada State? Is that woo woof?
Speaker 2: And them and Tye, welcome back to the solid verbal
Speaker 2: Boys and girls. My name is Tye hilden Brandt. That
Speaker 2: gentleman over there in Chicago Land, the one and only
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how you doing today?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. I am especially excited for today's show.
Speaker 1: It is Chicago Land. I'm not in the city of Chicago.
Speaker 1: I'm in the burbs. It's not nearly as exciting as
Speaker 1: being in a very very good city. But it's a
Speaker 1: deeply personal show for me today. Tye, Okay, because in
Speaker 1: years past, and we'll explain it further when we get
Speaker 1: to it, I know we have news to get into.
Speaker 1: But in years past, we've been blessed to be able
Speaker 1: to give out watchless spots. You're Grows, your ray Guy,
Speaker 1: your Nagirsky or blittn a cough. They just they tossed
Speaker 1: us a few watchless spots. We were able to toss
Speaker 1: that to listeners, and I am grateful today to be
Speaker 1: what the John Junker, the Bill Hancock, the Solid Verbal
Speaker 1: Official first annual Washed List, And I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're going to give out specific awards for the most
Speaker 1: Washed responses, but I feel a current coursing through my
Speaker 1: creative veins tie that I don't know if i've felt
Speaker 1: since maybe since we met, I don't know. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: feeling the juice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that is quite the introduction, my friend. And
Speaker 2: we will get into why you are bringing these things
Speaker 2: up in just a little bit after we do get
Speaker 2: through news. There's a bunch of news to get through. Hope,
Speaker 2: wherever you are, you are having a good week, you're
Speaker 2: having a good Friday, you're ready for the weekend, you're
Speaker 2: staying safe, you're trying to be happy. These are weird times,
Speaker 2: perhaps end times. Who the hell knows. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That took a turn.
Speaker 2: Thank you so it's been a week.
Speaker 1: It has been it has been a week.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you so much for giving us some of
Speaker 2: your precious time. Don't forget going out to our website,
Speaker 2: solid verbal dot com if you want to find some
Speaker 2: or all of our old stuff, and subscribe to the
Speaker 2: newsletter if you don't already subscribe to the show, we
Speaker 2: would urge you to do so. We don't know which
Speaker 2: direction the season's gonna go here over the next few months,
Speaker 2: could go a number of different ways. Right, stay here
Speaker 2: with us, subscribe to the show if you like the
Speaker 2: show going out, and leave us a five star review.
Speaker 2: Every little bit helps. We pledge our allegiance to you,
Speaker 2: our trusted for ballers. As we get close to the
Speaker 2: college football season, in whatever form that takes.
Speaker 1: I would think that's true. Yeah, we're doing twice a
Speaker 1: week right now. And as we get closer to knowing
Speaker 1: if there's football and have confirmation that things are moving
Speaker 1: and progressing in such a way that makes it seem
Speaker 1: like we're going to have some kind of football season,
Speaker 1: only ramping up from there, ty, only ramping up from there.
Speaker 2: And if you don't already, follow us on social media
Speaker 2: on Instagram, on Twitter, on Facebook. We post some stuff
Speaker 2: out YouTube, not as much lately, but we promise we're
Speaker 2: going to be doing more of that in the immedia future.
Speaker 2: So exciting times ahead. We know football at some point
Speaker 2: will be ahead, we just don't don't quite know what
Speaker 2: form it's.
Speaker 1: Gonna be in.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in our news bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a grab bag. It's a mystery bag.
Speaker 1: You see that on a bunch of website selling stuff,
Speaker 1: which's like, well, we have a bunch of shirts, or
Speaker 1: you can get a mystery box the mission. I think
Speaker 1: that's what we have ahead of us, sort of a
Speaker 1: JJ Abrams Damon lindelof mystery Box of a season.
Speaker 2: I think that's right. Okay, let's get into it. Okay,
Speaker 2: we have bad news.
Speaker 1: How when did you wake up this morning?
Speaker 2: I've been up since four o'clock this morning.
Speaker 1: My god, TI. Well, good for your breaking news drop,
Speaker 1: because that had some sustenance behind it. I like it.
Speaker 2: After this, I'm going to collapse in a pile of
Speaker 2: my own sweat and perhaps go to sleep after I
Speaker 2: do the edit.
Speaker 1: Hit me with some news.
Speaker 2: The PAC twelve, your favorite conference, finalizing a ten game
Speaker 2: conference only schedule for the twenty twenty college football season,
Speaker 2: featuring a delayed start. As you know, teams typically play
Speaker 2: a nine game conference slate. In the Pac twelve, they've
Speaker 2: got a ten game model, the nine plus one, So
Speaker 2: you would play all five teams in your division and
Speaker 2: five of these six teams from the opposite division. That
Speaker 2: season would begin on September the nineteenth. A's say, what
Speaker 2: three week delay? I guess that's according to Dennis Dodd
Speaker 2: from CBS Sports, it would give the league fourteen weeks
Speaker 2: to complete those ten games. There'd be a conference title
Speaker 2: game that we played in any of the first three
Speaker 2: weekends in December, so they're giving themselves a little bit
Speaker 2: of an escape pod there. It all depends, obviously on
Speaker 2: how the season and the virus progresses, but this is
Speaker 2: notable because it's the first time we've seen a major
Speaker 2: conference actually frame out what this conference only ten game
Speaker 2: only slate would look like if and when we do
Speaker 2: a football in the fall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to be clear, as of the time we're
Speaker 1: recording this, only the Pac twelve and Big Ten have
Speaker 1: announced conference only slates of the Power five conferences, correct, correct,
Speaker 1: So I would anticipate the Big Ten attempting to do
Speaker 1: something similar as a nine game conference scheduling entity. And
Speaker 1: it's TBD we'll see because we've seen stories about what
Speaker 1: Alabama perhaps in talks with BYU to replace USC to
Speaker 1: open up their season, so it seems like at least
Speaker 1: the SEC is planning on filling a full twelve game
Speaker 1: slate until I mean We don't hear a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence from Sankee, the Conference commissioner about the way things
Speaker 1: are trending, but in terms of rumors or news stories,
Speaker 1: it seems like the SEC is going to do everything
Speaker 1: it possibly can. Good for the PAC twelve for trying
Speaker 1: to add content and inventory to the schedule, because nine
Speaker 1: games would be it feels significantly fewer than twelve, even
Speaker 1: though nine to twelve are not vastly different numbers. Oregon
Speaker 1: Utah I saw as a potential tenth game, which would
Speaker 1: be great because that's a rematch of the Pactoral Championship
Speaker 1: from last season. I would think, you know, if they're
Speaker 1: looking just directly at what games would generate the most interest,
Speaker 1: Washington ASU is currently not on the schedule. That's not
Speaker 1: a crossover divisional game that could be very interesting. And
Speaker 1: I actually looked at this across the sport itself that
Speaker 1: if at some point the SEC ACC and Big twelve,
Speaker 1: and obviously the Big twelve is in a different situation
Speaker 1: with only ten total teams, if they went to a
Speaker 1: ten game schedule or at least a plus one schedule,
Speaker 1: some of the games that are not crossover games that
Speaker 1: could be added are actually kind of amazing tie. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you looked at this.
Speaker 2: At all, Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: We got. We could see a Clemson North Carolina rematch,
Speaker 1: we could see Penn State Wisconsin. Seems high level to me.
Speaker 1: It's my opinion. Florida Auburn or Florida Alabama, the Florida
Speaker 1: Gators miss both of the Alabama schools. Ohio State Minnesota
Speaker 1: could be all sorts of fun even G five wise,
Speaker 1: if you look at the crossovers that are not happening
Speaker 1: that could in a potential plus one situation Boise, San
Speaker 1: Diego State smu Ucfre's there's a lot of potential. I
Speaker 1: think we could get a Georgia LSU SEC championship game
Speaker 1: rematch if that were a plus one potential to really,
Speaker 1: I mean, this sort of goes along with our Bangers
Speaker 1: Only show, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could we could.
Speaker 1: Be adding the series. Yeah, if we're if we're subtracting
Speaker 1: non conference games, something that affects the total. But because
Speaker 1: obviously tea in the same conference are on the same
Speaker 1: sort of wavelength in terms of power structure, there's potential
Speaker 1: for added bangers, Tie.
Speaker 2: Added bangers, and you know, as we talked about postseason
Speaker 2: possibilities on the Wednesday Show. It would if you could
Speaker 2: do it, it would lend some credence to the whole. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's go back to the nineteen eighties model. Maybe there
Speaker 2: aren't bowls, but let's get some folks voting on this.
Speaker 2: I think it would make things easier if everyone played
Speaker 2: within conference and certainly the same number of games. But
Speaker 2: remains to be seen. We'll see what happens as other
Speaker 2: conferences announce their intentions. Everything that I have read says
Speaker 2: that the next two weeks will be very critical in
Speaker 2: college football. Before the end of the month, let's say
Speaker 2: we should have some real clarity on where the sport
Speaker 2: is headed. You know, obviously contingent on a lot of factors,
Speaker 2: and they change by the minute, but keep your eyes
Speaker 2: peeled the next two weeks. Next two weeks should be
Speaker 2: very meaningful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probably right. The thing that's interesting
Speaker 1: to me, though, so the first part is that the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve is saying we would play a conference championship
Speaker 1: game any of the first like three.
Speaker 2: Weeks, first three weeks on December.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's almost an admission of there's a good
Speaker 1: chance the season might end with the conference championship games
Speaker 1: and they're not be a postseason, which is something we
Speaker 1: discussed on the Postseason Possibility show we recorded earlier in
Speaker 1: the week, where it's just like, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if the Pac twelve is going to have a championship
Speaker 1: game on December twentieth, if the Rose Bowl as scheduled
Speaker 1: for the thirty first or the second, or whenever it is,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different dynamic, especially if other conferences
Speaker 1: are have three four more weeks off or something like that.
Speaker 1: The other thing that's interesting to me is the delayed start.
Speaker 1: And I know we can talk about this with Notre
Speaker 1: Dame as well and with Jack Swarbrick. The ad mentioned
Speaker 1: the delayed start thing is interesting because everybody has known
Speaker 1: that there could be a pretty dramatic issue with a
Speaker 1: college football season since what mid late March YEP, when
Speaker 1: things really started beca coming serious and then asking for
Speaker 1: two three more weeks for things to somehow get better
Speaker 1: in that time span, are good enough or it's just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we have a situation where we need two months of
Speaker 1: falling cases and hospitalizations and deaths in a state or
Speaker 1: something like that, because that's that's been sort of key
Speaker 1: in terms of reopening phases. It seems like it's so little,
Speaker 1: so late. Well that I mean it just like what
Speaker 1: the difference that two weeks are going to make seem
Speaker 1: so minimal with all the time that schools and conferences
Speaker 1: and governing bodies have had to lay out exact contingency
Speaker 1: plans as it relates to timing, almost like having a
Speaker 1: you know, a year end book report in fourth grade
Speaker 1: and asking for an extra thirty eight minutes on the
Speaker 1: day it's do like, well, what's that going to do.
Speaker 2: Look, we've discussed on this show before. Hope is not
Speaker 2: a plan. Now I think for for optimism is not
Speaker 2: a plan. I'm not going to go into what we've
Speaker 2: done as a country. I'll talk about what college football
Speaker 2: has done as a sport. It's much harder for college
Speaker 2: football was always going to be. There is no centralized
Speaker 2: governing authority here. Sure, the NCAA plays a part in that,
Speaker 2: but ultimately it's a series of tribes that have agreed
Speaker 2: to work together. So with that as the backdrop, Dan,
Speaker 2: there was never a common thread here. The common thread
Speaker 2: is they want to play football. But in terms of
Speaker 2: how they're going to play football that has never existed
Speaker 2: the fact that we're where we're at now, we got
Speaker 2: cases spiking, it makes sense to me that they would
Speaker 2: want a little extra time to figure it out, to
Speaker 2: see where things are going. Look at what the PAC
Speaker 2: twelve's done here, fourteen weeks to play a ten game slate,
Speaker 2: and then they give themselves a three week window potentially
Speaker 2: to play that championship game. What's that like six seven
Speaker 2: weeks of wiggle room in there depending on how things
Speaker 2: shake out. So nobody sure which way things are headed.
Speaker 2: It's good to see them putting some definition around it,
Speaker 2: and I would expect that other conferences would soon follow suit.
Speaker 2: But you know, we got a long way to go
Speaker 2: before we get the September nineteenth. Yeah, you mentioned Jack
Speaker 2: Swarbrick and Notre Dame. He is on the record as
Speaker 2: of Tuesday saying that he wants a delayed start and
Speaker 2: he's targeting eight to ten games. The quote here is quote,
Speaker 2: I don't anticipate a twelve game schedule. I'd like to
Speaker 2: start a little later. The value of starting later is
Speaker 2: that you really get to see how your university has done.
Speaker 2: You have the benefit of all that information and knowledge
Speaker 2: and so I'd like to start a little later. The
Speaker 2: number for me is probably somewhere between eight and ten games.
Speaker 2: But whatever is right for the health and safety of
Speaker 2: the players. So Notre Dame on record, we know based
Speaker 2: on Pete Sampson told us that the phone's ringing off
Speaker 2: the hook to play Notre Dame again. A lot remains
Speaker 2: to be seen. That's because of this virus.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like, by the way, I like the ad
Speaker 1: of the one major program that can govern itself without
Speaker 1: answering to many other people. Fully, he is like, oh,
Speaker 1: we were like six games. What if we've played the
Speaker 1: number of games that were contractually obligated to play against
Speaker 1: acc teams. That feels like a good number. What do
Speaker 1: you think, hies?
Speaker 2: Speaking of that pesky virus, Michigan State has paused football workouts.
Speaker 2: They had a staff member test positive just one. As
Speaker 2: you may know, we were getting into that phase of
Speaker 2: twenty hour weeks as it relates to workouts, and they're
Speaker 2: going to pause that until they get more complete surveillance
Speaker 2: testing as they're calling it. We had news of Jason
Speaker 2: Kandell at Toledo, there, forty year old head football coach,
Speaker 2: testing positive for the coronavirus. He is not currently experiencing
Speaker 2: any symptoms, but he is self isolating for ten days,
Speaker 2: so we wish him well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did see that our friends over at the
Speaker 1: Athletic I think it was Bruce and Andy. I know
Speaker 1: Bruce is involved Bruce Felman about what would happen if
Speaker 1: a head coach where were to be to come down
Speaker 1: with the virus and test positive and had to take
Speaker 1: time away from the team. Is what do contingency plans
Speaker 1: look like among different teams? Is it automatically going to
Speaker 1: be a coordinator. Is it sort of a long tenured
Speaker 1: defensive line coach who also has the assistant head coach title.
Speaker 1: It's a very new contingency plan as it relates to
Speaker 1: this sport. But it's fascinating to see where teams will turn.
Speaker 1: I don't think I could tell you I knew where
Speaker 1: Oregon would turn. I don't know if you know. I mean.
Speaker 1: Clark Lee obviously interviewed for a couple big jobs last
Speaker 1: year and I think was the runner up, I think
Speaker 1: to Jeff Hafley at Boston College. So obviously people are
Speaker 1: looking at him with some degree of head coaching acumens.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's where Notre Dame would turn. But
Speaker 1: it is fascinating because we do see this situation come
Speaker 1: up with coaches who are fired midyear or have to
Speaker 1: leave because of some controversy midyear and get fired. Essentially,
Speaker 1: it'll be fascinating across the sport to see what would
Speaker 1: happen if there is, in the worst possible circumstance, a
Speaker 1: number of schools that have to make that decision.
Speaker 2: Well, we do wish mister Candle well totally. He'll be
Speaker 2: able to bounce back quickly and forcefully. I saw that
Speaker 2: Mac Brown and the rest of the staff down at
Speaker 2: UNC is going to wear face shields and sticks. They're
Speaker 2: going to use sticks to socially distanced during practices. I
Speaker 2: don't know how that will translate to the field, but
Speaker 2: seems like a bit of a challenge as it relates
Speaker 2: to football.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm great with teams taking creative measures to keep
Speaker 1: everybody as healthy as possible in pursuit of there being
Speaker 1: a safe, healthy season. If that means and this is
Speaker 1: my visualization, North Carolina coaches wearing sort of grass skirts
Speaker 1: that stick straight out six feet in every direction. Yep,
Speaker 1: so they will touch sticks to lack of a better
Speaker 1: term every time they come near each other.
Speaker 2: Great, great, all right, two other quick tidbits before we
Speaker 2: get into the wash list. We talked about this Senate
Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee hearing that took place, I guess on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: pertaining to the nil legislation that's floating around. The University
Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh Athletic director Heather Like also took part, and
Speaker 2: she asked members to prohibit betting on collegiate sports. During
Speaker 2: that hearing on Wednesday, she appeared remotely. She testified that
Speaker 2: the presidents of the acc unanimously opposed gambling on collegiate
Speaker 2: sports over concerns for the well being of the student body,
Speaker 2: the athletes, and potential threats to the integrity of competitions. Dan,
Speaker 2: I missed the pearl clutching over betting on sports. It's
Speaker 2: been a while since we heard something like this in
Speaker 2: college sports. There's been a lot of steam on. Now
Speaker 2: you can bet on games in some states, and you
Speaker 2: know it just the nostalgia here. Upon reading this quote,
Speaker 2: was it really struck me?
Speaker 1: So friends, I have a seven point plan to get
Speaker 1: this toothpaste back in the two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you with me? Okay, good luck with that,
Speaker 2: miss Like, and finally, the West Virginia football team and
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Vic Kanig have officially parted ways. You may
Speaker 2: recall we discussed this incident a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: This is Kerry Martin Junior. This is him detailing the
Speaker 2: mistreatment that he received from Kanig. In a social media
Speaker 2: post back at the end of June, he alleged inappropriate
Speaker 2: comments about religion, politics, and the recent protests against racism
Speaker 2: and police brutality. Kanig was placed on administrative leave following
Speaker 2: that allegation. He ushould an apology. He again reiterated that
Speaker 2: apology Wednesday, but he and West Virginia go in opposite directions,
Speaker 2: which at this point seems like it's probably for the best.
Speaker 1: Seems like it's for the best, and hopefully it's a
Speaker 1: big win for accountability within West Virginia football and how
Speaker 1: players and coaches interact and communicate moving forward. I hope
Speaker 1: that's the future of Mountaineer football because I sure as
Speaker 1: hell like it when major programs are operating in an
Speaker 1: optimal way.
Speaker 2: So what sound do we want to play for this
Speaker 2: next bit? Because it's not quite email, but it is
Speaker 2: sort of user response. What what are we feeling here.
Speaker 1: I don't know ty, what I mean? What do you
Speaker 1: have at the stad What do you have ready right now? Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, guess who just got murdered?
Speaker 1: Will that work? Yeah? My youth, My youth got murdered, Ty,
Speaker 1: talk me murdered by father, time, Talk.
Speaker 2: Me through what exactly we got going on in this
Speaker 2: show here?
Speaker 1: I just I was seeing and it's that season in
Speaker 1: July when we're normally around these conference media days that
Speaker 1: you know, players are showing up for and they're appearing
Speaker 1: on watch lists, and we're we're saying, oh my gosh, okay,
Speaker 1: this guy is definitely like a Bnarik candidate, And it
Speaker 1: turns out there's one hundred other guys Rimmington, you know,
Speaker 1: there's seventy three Rimington finalists, and it's a way for
Speaker 1: schools to tout really well performing players. But it's kind
Speaker 1: of also a joke. So, knowing what our audience looks
Speaker 1: like and is comprised of age wise and experience wise,
Speaker 1: I figured that instead of giving away the watchless spots
Speaker 1: that we've got given away in years past, that we
Speaker 1: were just going to take submissions about why certain people
Speaker 1: and I don't have the list I have the list
Speaker 1: of washed attributes. I'm not crediting certain people. Just know
Speaker 1: that these are all contributions unless noted otherwise, like that
Speaker 1: it's your contribution or my contribution. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have things in your head, but I asked people
Speaker 1: to let us know what when they realized that they
Speaker 1: were old, slash washed or washed up? And what did
Speaker 1: it for them to say? Oh, I am I'm not
Speaker 1: seventeen anymore. I am absolutely very I'm on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of washed. Yeah, And so I just want to
Speaker 1: honor some of the best of these. I have them
Speaker 1: all sort of bullet pointed out in front of you,
Speaker 1: and I have a bunch of do you want to
Speaker 1: start with our own elements of when we realized I do,
Speaker 1: tell me give me some You're in your what late
Speaker 1: thirties at this point, mid to late thirties, yep, yep,
Speaker 1: So I think we're There are obviously people that listen
Speaker 1: to the show that are quite old, that are older
Speaker 1: than we are, if that can even be possible. But
Speaker 1: we have people in our that are in their forties, fifties,
Speaker 1: sixties and beyond to listen to the show. Some of
Speaker 1: our absolute best listeners who sort of laugh at the
Speaker 1: idea when we talk about the Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: thirty six, Holy moly. Yeah, But give me some items
Speaker 1: from your life where you said to yourself, whoa if
Speaker 1: this wasn't a thing before?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the first time you throw out your
Speaker 2: back sneezing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: A classic is you know, everyone goes through that. I
Speaker 2: don't care what age you are, I don't care you
Speaker 2: know where what you're upbringing. Everyone has the awkward sneeze.
Speaker 1: It binds us as a people does.
Speaker 2: It's the singularity. It binds us all. So there's that one.
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of those back issues, just weird
Speaker 2: back issues. And you know one thing that that dawned
Speaker 2: on me when I saw you tweet this out I had.
Speaker 2: I had an instance not so long ago where I
Speaker 2: was at a golf course, woke up with a little
Speaker 2: bit of a stiff back, and walked into the clubhouse,
Speaker 2: paid the greens fee, and on the way out, there's
Speaker 2: a set of double doors, and at some point between
Speaker 2: pushing open the first door on my way out and
Speaker 2: pushing open the second outer door, something with that first
Speaker 2: interaction did my back in and it seized up. I
Speaker 2: for the first time experienced back spasms, and I remember,
Speaker 2: you know, thinking, while I'm watching a sports game of
Speaker 2: some sort like back spasms, what's that. I had my
Speaker 2: first encounter with back spasms between those two doors, and
Speaker 2: I collapsed, collapsed, writhing in pain, probably made something of
Speaker 2: a whimper. My friends helped me up. I proceeded to
Speaker 2: then try to take a shot off the first t
Speaker 2: again collapsed, grasstaing my pants and rode in the cart
Speaker 2: the rest of the round. That was really my first
Speaker 2: major try to go home now, So you were just there.
Speaker 2: I was just there, and it was. It was made
Speaker 2: a little bit worse by the fact that the club
Speaker 2: pro driving around the course to make sure that, you know,
Speaker 2: people were keeping pace and playing by the rules. He
Speaker 2: thought that I he thought that I was playing, even
Speaker 2: though I had gone back in for refund after I
Speaker 2: realized I was hurt, and so he he sort of
Speaker 2: gave me the business too. But yeah, that was That
Speaker 2: was a seminal moment for me, in realizing that I
Speaker 2: was a bit over the hill and maybe not at
Speaker 2: my peak athletic, you know, state, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I mean that was that was the majority,
Speaker 1: or I wouldn't say majority. That was a healthy chunk
Speaker 1: of the responses we got. We're just like, tried to
Speaker 1: play basketball, nope, tried to tried to turn a single
Speaker 1: into a double, nope. We got a lot of those.
Speaker 1: So when you're in the cart having thrown out your
Speaker 1: back severely, are you just honing your like at a
Speaker 1: boy that'll do like anytime anybody hits a passively okay shot. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I used to be a caddy back in
Speaker 1: the day. You know that language.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my college job. So I was just
Speaker 2: a caddy for my friends and helping them regreens and
Speaker 2: taking the pin out and you know, making sure that
Speaker 2: clubs weren't left behind. That sort of thing. That was
Speaker 2: about all I could do because I couldn't swing sure,
Speaker 2: and you know, so it was it was an okay afternoon.
Speaker 2: It wasn't quite what I expected, but.
Speaker 1: Give me some more okay.
Speaker 2: So that that was definitely a big one. I have
Speaker 2: a problem with the music thing. I try some of these.
Speaker 2: We got a lot of these. I try to stay
Speaker 2: up to date with the music. I try, and you
Speaker 2: know that you do a pretty good job. I do
Speaker 2: do a pretty good job. New Taylor Swift album by
Speaker 2: the way coming out at midnight.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that.
Speaker 2: Case you weren't aware. But there's a lot in the
Speaker 2: music realm going on right now that is totally over
Speaker 2: my head. And whereas before I could at least listen
Speaker 2: to the pop stations on my way into work, now
Speaker 2: because no one's doing the whole driving to work thing,
Speaker 2: I am missing that key component. So for me, that's
Speaker 2: a big deal. The other thing, and I'm surprised we
Speaker 2: didn't get more of these, but you do reach a
Speaker 2: certain point in your adulthood when the hangover from Saturday
Speaker 2: night lasts until about Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: That'll happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens, and I would just say that it's
Speaker 2: not fun. It definitely changes your outlook on adult libations.
Speaker 1: One of my big problems is not even the music,
Speaker 1: because if I listen to the top twelve songs in
Speaker 1: the country, I'll probably find I'm like, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: This is I like what they're doing here. I like
Speaker 1: the sound of this Billie Eilish, something like that. My
Speaker 1: problem is so many of the artists' names now are
Speaker 1: a mix between symbols, numbers, and intentional misspellings, where I'm
Speaker 1: terrified like in polite in person conversation, if music comes
Speaker 1: up and I have something to say about one of
Speaker 1: these artists, I'm like, yeah, I think I was listening
Speaker 1: to churches?
Speaker 2: Is it churches? Is it they go there by churches?
Speaker 2: But I know they do. There's definitely a v in
Speaker 2: there church.
Speaker 1: And to Goshi, sixes is nine's, I just have a
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Tie, I have a lot of trouble,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I have the I have
Speaker 1: it in me to do the research. And so that's
Speaker 1: something that really hits me with the music. I was
Speaker 1: when I was in California, I was doing a lot
Speaker 1: of driving, more so than usual, and we had people
Speaker 1: that mentioned this where it's just like you turn on
Speaker 1: an oldie station and three eleven is on Oh Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Nick Hexham and band mates are not oldies,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, this sounds from nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 1: it's twenty one years ago. That is twenty one yeah.
Speaker 1: So when there are bands like that that are featured
Speaker 1: on those like classic rock stations. We hear Weezer on
Speaker 1: classic rock. Excuse excuse me, I'm sorry. This is the
Speaker 1: blue album from Oh Yeah. Nineteen ninety four. Yeah, that's rough.
Speaker 2: The music thing's rough. The weird back injuries thing to
Speaker 2: me is right up there with the lengthened hangover.
Speaker 1: But wake up with sore hips.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I did nothing physical yesterday. When I say nothing, I
Speaker 1: mean I walked the solid toddler three blocks and came home.
Speaker 1: And when he went to the backyard at the place
Speaker 1: where staying, I sat. And then this morning I had
Speaker 1: sore hips from I didn't do a push up, I
Speaker 1: didn't do crunches, I didn't do any stretching, and I
Speaker 1: woke up and I'm positive it's because of something I
Speaker 1: did while I slept or something. Sore hips flexers flame him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've I've noticed that I can't quite do the
Speaker 2: marathon athletic competitions the way I used to. Of course
Speaker 2: I used to play in all day softball tournaments or
Speaker 2: play thirty six holes of golf. The thirty six holes
Speaker 2: of golf is still doable, but you wake up the
Speaker 2: next day and your your back feels feels like it's
Speaker 2: gone to a different place. The all day softball thing.
Speaker 2: I've done that on a hot day a couple times
Speaker 2: over the last few years and between like day one
Speaker 2: and two of the Tournament of two, basically two all
Speaker 2: day softball tournaments. Between days one and two, you wake
Speaker 2: up and yeah, it's you're not quite in peak athletic form,
Speaker 2: is all I can say.
Speaker 1: Can I rapid fire? You're one hundred percent right? Can
Speaker 1: I rapid fire? Some of these bullet points that I
Speaker 1: had that I came up with myself in maybe three minutes.
Speaker 1: It was one of the easier lists I've made. I
Speaker 1: give recommendations all the time to people about icing after
Speaker 1: they work out, like, yeah, you know, doing sprints, doing
Speaker 1: interval sprints is great. You got ice, you gotta be
Speaker 1: And then I give them recommendations about the right ice technique.
Speaker 1: I'll do that all the time. Yesterday last night, I
Speaker 1: was catching up with a friend and I had recommended
Speaker 1: to him former sponsor of the show Oliver's the shorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And we had an extended conversation about how
Speaker 1: versatile these shorts were in terms of where you could
Speaker 1: wear them too, and then we talked about shirt fabrics
Speaker 1: for a good amount of time. That's a thing that
Speaker 1: I do now. I talk about planner fasci itis. I
Speaker 1: haven't had planner fascia itis in like four years. But
Speaker 1: I'll recommend the Planner fasci idis spiky ball that I
Speaker 1: used to stretch things out and the night splint I wore.
Speaker 1: You know what's awesome, Tie, here's what's awesome dating somebody
Speaker 1: you're super into, which I did with with Jody, with
Speaker 1: and I when we were DATD and then like a
Speaker 1: year into your relationship saying, hey, I really messed up
Speaker 1: my foot in a bad way playing pickup basketball. So
Speaker 1: from now on there might be a a rock hard
Speaker 1: I know you settle going a rock hard splint on
Speaker 1: my foot under the covers. That's something you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to get used to. Dating me, it was like thirty
Speaker 1: one at the time. That's that was the thing. I
Speaker 1: stopped drinking, mostly not because I was drinking too much.
Speaker 1: It certainly was not. It affected my sleep, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, I'm gonna stop drinking. Sleep is too important.
Speaker 1: The dad jokes come at such a rapid fire clip Tie,
Speaker 1: and it's it's embarrassing, but I can't stop. I cannot stop.
Speaker 1: I set iPhone reminders about the last water to drink
Speaker 1: before I go to sleep because I don't want to
Speaker 1: wake up and pee multiple times. I have an iPhone
Speaker 1: reminder that says that say, okay, this is the last
Speaker 1: water of the night. Do you read similar note? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent to Actually I have I remind myself
Speaker 1: at noon to drink water to set the tone for
Speaker 1: the day, and then I think at eight pm, last water.
Speaker 2: Of So all that hydrate stuff that you did last
Speaker 2: season on the show was actually legit. That's like fully
Speaker 2: your creed, not just for the show.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm fully proud of my regularity. I will I
Speaker 1: will announce my retirement from various activities. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've done that, Like, no, I'm retired, i'med, I ask, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I retire from various activities. I roast a lot of vegetables,
Speaker 1: and I'm very happy to talk about my roasted vegetables.
Speaker 1: I think about what I'd look for in a second
Speaker 1: wife tie and it's not at all wife wife. I
Speaker 1: think about when when Jody with and I comes to
Speaker 1: her senses and leaves me for somebody far better. I
Speaker 1: think about what my search for a second wife would
Speaker 1: look like, and it's the least creepy like at first. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very open, but she does. She knows anything I
Speaker 1: mentioned on the show. She definitely knows. I'm obviously way
Speaker 1: too open about it. She doesn't listen though, right, No,
Speaker 1: she not totally doesn't listen. But on first inclination, if
Speaker 1: you were like a creepy older dude, like I'm definitely
Speaker 1: trending towards You're like, I want to I want to
Speaker 1: marry a twenty five year old, a beautiful twenty five
Speaker 1: year old. And then I realized that that would involve
Speaker 1: going out on night dates and that, and I just
Speaker 1: I don't have it in me, Tie, I don't have
Speaker 1: it in me. So I've I've sort of really adjusted
Speaker 1: what I would look for in a second wife, and
Speaker 1: it involves a lot of like breakfast, sandwich dates, involves
Speaker 1: a lot of that. I talk about Trader Joe's foods
Speaker 1: and new new products a lot. I'm more excited if
Speaker 1: I go to a dinner party, or if I'm hanging
Speaker 1: out with other parents or other people whatever at a
Speaker 1: playground and somebody brings up a new item at Trader Joe's,
Speaker 1: I will bring the conversation to a flip and halt, like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, where do you use this maple glaze carrots. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a good call. Used you have the sea salt,
Speaker 1: you have the sea salt grinder. Yeah, that's me, ty,
Speaker 1: I am so old and so happy to talk about
Speaker 1: New Trader Joe's products. That's just a three minute sampling.
Speaker 2: Three minute sampling.
Speaker 1: There are so many items.
Speaker 2: Another thing for me. I find that And I don't
Speaker 2: know when this happened. I now have a very fond
Speaker 2: appreciation for Broadway plays. Yeah, okay, I was never into that.
Speaker 2: I'm still not really, but now it's like, yeah, what artistry, what.
Speaker 1: Talent, the gallants performances. Can I just give you two
Speaker 1: sweet ones that I came up with right before we started.
Speaker 1: You ever listened to people that are in their twenties
Speaker 1: and they say they use the word stan as a
Speaker 1: verb stan, like we stan the yah I don't know,
Speaker 1: we stand the Brooklyn nine nine cast, We stan you
Speaker 1: know some like person in our group that they are
Speaker 1: stands for like a super fan. No, you've never heard
Speaker 1: that term. Never, You've never heard that, Like I'm a
Speaker 1: solid verbal stand No. In reference to like the M
Speaker 1: and M song about the crazy super fan, I'm aware
Speaker 1: of the song. That's what I thought of, But I've
Speaker 1: never heard of that. No, but that's where it comes from.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard people mentioning that they're part of
Speaker 1: a hive? No? Really no, I've heard both of these
Speaker 1: things with people in their twenties, and it mortifies me.
Speaker 1: It mortifies me to my very core. The other thing
Speaker 1: is my views on traveling in basketball have evolved to
Speaker 1: the point where I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I know that the game has evolved to the point
Speaker 1: where there are eurosteps and continuations and whatever. I can't
Speaker 1: I can't watch basketball. And I love about watching basketball.
Speaker 1: I do do it college and the NBA. I can't
Speaker 1: watch a euro step and I can't watch a gather
Speaker 1: step without thinking, folks, this isn't basketball. Folks, folks, this
Speaker 1: is not basketball. This is not how it was intended.
Speaker 1: And then I catch myself and I'm like, wow, I'm
Speaker 1: a thousand years old. That's definitely hit me a bunch
Speaker 1: of times.
Speaker 2: All right, So let's go through some of these that.
Speaker 2: Let's go through that had come in. You know, my
Speaker 2: my favorite. We had a good one come in about
Speaker 2: you know, throwing out a back while doing laundry. You know,
Speaker 2: just the word back injuries, we got a lot of those.
Speaker 1: The other one there, I tell people to use their
Speaker 1: knees so much more often that like with the knees,
Speaker 1: with the knees.
Speaker 2: The other one that cracked me up was someone wrote
Speaker 2: in said the first time I said sciatica.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, the.
Speaker 2: First time I said sciatica when going to bed past
Speaker 2: ten feels like something had gone terribly wrong. I'll haffing
Speaker 2: it all nither.
Speaker 1: I've been there. We've got a lot of TikTok responses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know I'm tracking with that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So may I ask? Are you do you have
Speaker 1: TikTok on your phone?
Speaker 2: Do I? I think I'm I think I do. Still I did,
Speaker 2: and then I didn't, and then I think I put
Speaker 2: it back on to watch something specific, but I don't
Speaker 2: remember what. It's been a while.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess. Is Kate a big TikToker? No? No, okay,
Speaker 1: Jody's not either. No. Have you watched tiktoks that make
Speaker 1: their way to Instagram or Twitter? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hard not to.
Speaker 1: So I instinctively when I saw, I mean, TikTok is
Speaker 1: such a silly thing to say out loud, so that's
Speaker 1: already minus points for me, and then the fact that
Speaker 1: it was so popular with young people, like, god, this
Speaker 1: is probably really stupid. And then you see what comes
Speaker 1: out of TikTok on Instagram, Twitter or whatever when it
Speaker 1: gets shared to those and I gotta say, ty, it
Speaker 1: seems amazing. It seems pretty incredible. The level of content
Speaker 1: is not bad, No, it's pretty I think the I
Speaker 1: don't know how I would explain it to somebody that
Speaker 1: just has heard the name but hasn't actually watched TikTok videos.
Speaker 1: It seems like there's always a reveal, right, there's like
Speaker 1: a there's a premise and a reveal, and it's meant
Speaker 1: to be funny and sort of like a meme. I
Speaker 1: know this makes me sound one thousand years old trying
Speaker 1: to explain TikTok, but I from what I've seen, it
Speaker 1: seems like a good time. But I guess it's just
Speaker 1: a choice amount. I don't know if you've seen the
Speaker 1: guy who did the uh, the West Virginia thing. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: guy's incredible. Well, like they say drunk thoughts, are they
Speaker 1: drunk words or sober thoughts? And then they show the
Speaker 1: same It's just it. I want to hate it, but
Speaker 1: everything I've seen, for the most part pretty great. And
Speaker 1: I felt that same way about Vine too, Like six seconds,
Speaker 1: come on, what are we doing? Then you sit and
Speaker 1: watch a twelve minute Vine marathon of somebody like Griffin
Speaker 1: macelroy or something. You're like, it's pretty great, pretty great.
Speaker 1: I can't argue with the results here.
Speaker 2: So let's go through some of these, some of these
Speaker 2: user submissions.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm ready are washed list?
Speaker 2: Someone says, when I realized I liked Kashi Cereal, Yeah,
Speaker 2: not bad, No, I mean because.
Speaker 1: It sucks you in with like the fiber stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, well, need to get that fiber.
Speaker 1: Could use fiber.
Speaker 2: You need to get that fiber. Okay, had to go
Speaker 2: to physical therapy to get my shoulder fixed after trying
Speaker 2: to ski grind in the Kitty Terrain park off a
Speaker 2: green trail in Jackson Hole. A lot of words there.
Speaker 2: The green trails are generally the easy ones, I think.
Speaker 2: So the word ski grind does scare me. And I've
Speaker 2: been a skier for a long time, but it sounds difficult. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily rising to
Speaker 2: the level of feeling old. But then again, I don't
Speaker 2: know if this is like a former ski jumper.
Speaker 1: Well, it just sounds very risky. Tie, it sounds very
Speaker 1: risky because skiing in and of itself, I've snowboarded some,
Speaker 1: but skiing in and of itself is you know, it's
Speaker 1: a physical activity, is risky. And I understand how old
Speaker 1: this makes me seem. You start adding words to what
Speaker 1: you're doing on the slopes like grind, like rail, like
Speaker 1: jump like pipe.
Speaker 2: That's Tony Hawk territory right there. Forget it.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's for for people above twenty eight
Speaker 1: thirty one. I could be mistaken, but it seems like
Speaker 1: there has to be.
Speaker 2: A cutoff point unless you are actually Tony Hawk. Then no,
Speaker 2: yeah that counts. Someone says started having to take Osteo
Speaker 2: biflex this year because my knees couldn't take anything more
Speaker 2: than a five K without barking.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, that sounds that sounds correct.
Speaker 2: Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: Does the word antioxidant get you going a little bit?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone really knows what antioxidant means.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think they do. But it's just like
Speaker 1: gotta have it, gotta have it.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 1: You ready, Yep?
Speaker 2: When I started caring more about the frames than the
Speaker 2: art in.
Speaker 1: Decide, I love this.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: That is good to see, like a quality frame, to
Speaker 1: see how it sits in a room or hangs in
Speaker 1: a room, and how it like perhaps ties things together
Speaker 1: from a furniture standpoint, from a motif standpoint, ty, I
Speaker 1: respect the hell out of a good framing job.
Speaker 2: Here's one that I think you can relate to based
Speaker 2: on what you said before. When I thought I was
Speaker 2: a quote cool dad for making the kids listen to
Speaker 2: the strokes, and then realize it's the exact same thing
Speaker 2: as my dad playing the Rolling Stones for me when
Speaker 2: I was growing up.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent the same thing. I cannot wait
Speaker 1: till I don't own a car right now because I
Speaker 1: am nomadic and I have no idea what my future holds,
Speaker 1: but I will soon, I'm sure be purchasing the car.
Speaker 1: And when the solid toddler is old enough, he is
Speaker 1: going to hear so much music that he is not
Speaker 1: going to care about, and when he tells his friends
Speaker 1: about they're just going to look at him blankly, like
Speaker 1: why your dad plays real big fish? What is the fish.
Speaker 1: How big is this? Like it's going to be a
Speaker 1: nightmare for him to explain, and I just like, sorry,
Speaker 1: I have to listen to the worst music I listened
Speaker 1: to when I was sixteen. Those are the rules.
Speaker 2: When my preferred exercise method became going for a walk.
Speaker 1: I love a good walk. Are you an active walker?
Speaker 2: What now define active walker? What is that?
Speaker 1: Okay? So will you ever just go for a walk
Speaker 1: because you like walking? Not because you're walking the solid puppy,
Speaker 1: not because Kate was like, oh, we had a big dinner,
Speaker 1: let's go for a walk after dinner. Will you just
Speaker 1: find yourself with a window of time? I know you
Speaker 1: work hard, but will you find yourself with a window
Speaker 1: of time? Like, you know what, I could just put
Speaker 1: one foot in front of the other. I could just
Speaker 1: I could just walk for an hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was still going into the mysterious day job.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was an over lunch. Was a good time
Speaker 2: to do that?
Speaker 1: Go for a walk?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: By the way, I have been mistaken for because we
Speaker 1: have the same name. A Canadian author named Dan Rubinstein,
Speaker 1: who has written extensively about the health benefits of walking
Speaker 1: and in terms of being confused for somebody else and
Speaker 1: sometimes that being problematic. Like, guys, I'm not this Like,
Speaker 1: I'm very different from this person who happens to have
Speaker 1: my same name. I am thrilled to share a name
Speaker 1: with a Canadian walking expert.
Speaker 2: It's great hearing Pearl Jam on Flashback Friday.
Speaker 1: It hurts, it hurts. Have you tuned? Have you actively
Speaker 1: tuned in? I know you try to keep up with
Speaker 1: Top forty, but will you tune into some sort of
Speaker 1: like classic rock station and come across a band we're like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Blink on eighty two is never classic rock
Speaker 1: that is always of the moment. Please stop serious.
Speaker 2: XM serious, XM presets. Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: We've got Channel two, which is Hits one. We've got
Speaker 2: I believe Channel ten, which I forget the name of
Speaker 2: that one. Right, We've got Pop Rocks which is Channel twelve,
Speaker 2: and that's where you find the good stuff, Dan, So
Speaker 2: that's where you find the good Take me, that's where
Speaker 2: you find pop Rocks. Yeah, that's where you find our generation. Right?
Speaker 1: There is that your train time?
Speaker 2: I mean train is not what I would say first,
Speaker 2: but there is some train being played on that station.
Speaker 1: Is a train presence.
Speaker 2: There is a train presence, but that's where you get
Speaker 2: your Blink one eighty two's oh okay, yeah, that's where
Speaker 2: you get a lot of fallout. Boy, that's where you get,
Speaker 2: you know, a little chumble wumba if you're feeling into it.
Speaker 2: I want to get moving on the drive home. A
Speaker 2: lot of stuff from like the late nineties and early
Speaker 2: aughts right there in that good sweet spot pop rocks
Speaker 2: Channel twelve. I got Channel fifteen on there, which plays
Speaker 2: a lot of the same stuff a little bit more contemporary.
Speaker 2: So I'm definitely dipping into some of that old nostalgic
Speaker 2: music wherever I can find it. I do have the
Speaker 2: eighties and nineties presets on there as well, but I
Speaker 2: don't listen to that as much as Pop Rocks.
Speaker 1: Ty. You know the album Dude Ranch by Blink one
Speaker 1: eighty two. Of course, you have your Your damn It
Speaker 1: and Josie all those, yeah, the original real I mean,
Speaker 1: there was cheshure Cat before then, but nineteen ninety seven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't even in high school yet, that's how long
Speaker 1: it's been. Holy hell, all right.
Speaker 2: It definitely feels like an oldie tried playing basketball for
Speaker 2: the first time in twenty years. Out of shape guys
Speaker 2: playing three on three half court turned into a full court,
Speaker 2: five and five game with some added athletic in shape
Speaker 2: guys in their twenties threw up on the sidelines after
Speaker 2: the second game. Never again.
Speaker 1: Basketball is probably the clear indicator. There's nothing that will
Speaker 1: make you feel your age like playing full court basketball regularly.
Speaker 2: The reason that I am retired from basketball, Dan is
Speaker 2: because I was playing in an adult basketball league a
Speaker 2: lot of older gentlemen, and I was warned by a
Speaker 2: teammate that, yeah, there's a lot of older dudes in
Speaker 2: here who can't really control their bodies, and while diving
Speaker 2: for a loose ball, one of those gentlemen torpedoed my
Speaker 2: left and that's why I had surgery for a dislocated lesson.
Speaker 1: Oh well, the key is you got to get into
Speaker 1: a game with at least one doctor who can set
Speaker 1: an ankle, sprain or relocated joint. That's the key at
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, I've I've retired, unretired, retired, and I'm
Speaker 1: currently unretired. Though I have no idea you know what
Speaker 1: my long term geographic plan is in terms of basketball
Speaker 1: leagues and beyond. But it wouldn't hurt to probe around
Speaker 1: to see where doctors play and play near or with them.
Speaker 2: Someone says, when listening to you guys complain, that's us
Speaker 2: about your age. Yeah, and realizing that I'm about twelve
Speaker 2: years older than you both. Sorry, man, that's okay.
Speaker 1: I mean I think that the response was on Instagram
Speaker 1: or Twitter, so I mean, we can only hope to
Speaker 1: be that cool.
Speaker 2: Whichever of these came earliest and became a thing. That's
Speaker 2: the moment I knew I was old and washed. He
Speaker 2: lists here vaping post malone and Damien Anderson's kid being
Speaker 2: recruited by Northwestern.
Speaker 1: That's rough. The thing I had that reaction with Fred
Speaker 1: Taylor's kid with Kelvin Taylor was like, oh, I very
Speaker 1: vividly remember Fred Taylor playing for both Florida and the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Oh yeah, this is strange. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they get drafted into the NFL and just I mean,
Speaker 1: you're how many active and you can google this right
Speaker 1: now as I'm asking the question, how many NFL active
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are older than you right now? Older than obviously
Speaker 1: Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, not that many, I tell you.
Speaker 1: That is what about Breeze. Is Breeze older than you?
Speaker 1: Is he forty?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's older than me.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Breeze is old. Breeze and Brady, there's not
Speaker 1: many you're You're you're considerably older than I am. So
Speaker 1: this doesn't apply to me. But it's true, all right,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Seems like at the flip of
Speaker 1: a switch, I couldn't understand technology. Yeah, is there is
Speaker 1: there an item that's been released a phone, a tablet,
Speaker 1: a computer, something else where you looked at it. And
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not even not even gonna try not
Speaker 1: Snapchat to make an attempt piece of software and app.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't figure out the interface on Snapchat. I
Speaker 2: still can't, you know, text my thing. I still don't
Speaker 2: get it. And to some extent, I still don't get Instagram,
Speaker 2: though that's considerably easier. But the story's part really screws
Speaker 2: me up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. Stories are not terrible. I've been running
Speaker 1: our Instagram account. Stories are not bad, but there are some.
Speaker 1: There are some pieces like I will watch an Apple
Speaker 1: event or a Samsung event and they talk about how
Speaker 1: they're moving to widgets and you know, touch what is
Speaker 1: what is force? Touch, and there are certain things wh're
Speaker 1: just like face ID where it's not that I don't
Speaker 1: understand them, it's that I watch the presentation and I've
Speaker 1: reached the point where I think this is very common
Speaker 1: among people that are far older than us, where you say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think. I'm just good with my
Speaker 1: phone that I have now, and I know you keep
Speaker 1: upgrading yours so or you're on some kind of upgrade plan.
Speaker 1: But as I'm less impressed by things technologically, like when
Speaker 1: I watch these presentations, like I don't think that's worth
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars to me. Well, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: the one with like in my iPhone success, which I
Speaker 1: still use. I'm going to have a success in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven, and it's going to be very clear. Anytime
Speaker 1: I post a video where it's not anywhere near the
Speaker 1: aspect ratio of modern phones, I'm going to be that person.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what you need, though, let me
Speaker 2: tell you what you should wait for if you're holding out,
Speaker 2: if you're waiting for something to wow you, and I
Speaker 2: don't know much about.
Speaker 1: It, I've got a headphone Jack. Raise your hand.
Speaker 2: If you have a headphone head found Jack could be
Speaker 2: a new feature.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you should wait for.
Speaker 2: If you're going to wait for the new technology thing
Speaker 2: that you want to sell out for, wait until they
Speaker 2: put lasers in the phone. Apparently that's going to be
Speaker 2: lasers so that it can I guess, like sense a
Speaker 2: room and get like a three D rendering of where
Speaker 2: you're at in space. But why because it's laser.
Speaker 1: I have a good I have a good rooms, sir,
Speaker 1: I just not for me. Not for me. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to have like a brick of an iPhone well into
Speaker 1: my forties.
Speaker 2: Here, I think is probably my favorite one. I don't
Speaker 2: know how I missed this on first pass when I
Speaker 2: started saying, quote, we really needed this rain every time
Speaker 2: it's top.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Robbie callend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that, my friends, is probably the winner.
Speaker 1: Here looking outside with a with a mug of hot
Speaker 1: tea and telling nobody in particular, Ah, we needed this.
Speaker 1: The boogamvillias needed this.
Speaker 2: There was a commercial about this. Yeah, not too long ago.
Speaker 2: They talked about things like defense wins, championships and the
Speaker 2: things you start to say that your parents said.
Speaker 1: Right, of course, we.
Speaker 2: Really need the rain is in the same vein as
Speaker 2: it's hot in the sun and it very much is
Speaker 2: something that I think you say after you actually have
Speaker 2: a lawn to maintain. We've got something else here, saying when.
Speaker 1: You have strong bird feeder thoughts, Well, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a bird guy. You know that I know what do
Speaker 1: you have bird? Do you have a bird feeder? You
Speaker 1: have thoughts about the hierarchy of birds that patronize your
Speaker 1: bird feeder? Like I was out of California, my dad
Speaker 1: explained the whole like the scrub jays are just messing everything.
Speaker 1: Just birds.
Speaker 2: No, of course, but I've had that for a long time.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make me feel old, okay, but ever since
Speaker 2: I had a lawn to maintain and it browns out
Speaker 2: usually around this time every year, we need the rain.
Speaker 2: Robbie is that's that's probably the ace in the clubhouse
Speaker 2: here for me.
Speaker 1: You will Kate catch you being upset about something like this. Oh,
Speaker 1: she'll just We'll still just see you sitting on the
Speaker 1: couch stewing, and you're like, oh my god, Ty, what's wrong.
Speaker 1: Something happened at work? Is everybody in your family okay.
Speaker 2: It's usually an incredulous look, like you're really that upset
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: You got a brown patch. Kate got a brown patch,
Speaker 1: and this is we really need some rain.
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago, I had been sitting in a car
Speaker 2: driving to a campsite, and after a forty minute stretch
Speaker 2: on the back road, I got out of my car
Speaker 2: and couldn't stand up straight. That's real because my back
Speaker 2: hurt so badly. I was punched over in my tent
Speaker 2: for the rest to the weekend. I hope he's all
Speaker 2: right or she's all right.
Speaker 1: You ever get exit? They ever have anybody walk on
Speaker 1: your back? Is that exciting for you?
Speaker 2: Not in like twenty years, but oh.
Speaker 1: It's a good. If you were having some stiffness, you
Speaker 1: lay on your stomach on the ground, have somebody sit
Speaker 1: or walk on your back, maybe even a small child.
Speaker 1: Feels great. Couldn't get more excited about that? Can I?
Speaker 1: Somebody posted something about eight a medium Domino's pizza by myself.
Speaker 1: I had a hangover from food, zero alcohol involved. Have
Speaker 1: you ever like you wake up with like a salty
Speaker 1: dry mouth? You're like, oh, do anything yesterday? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is very real. This is very real, the
Speaker 2: food hangover?
Speaker 1: Oh have you and on this same no? And I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's my instance is with Dominoes. I
Speaker 1: was in Florida on vacation for the playoff, so it
Speaker 1: would be Lsu Oklahoma. I'm so old, I don't even
Speaker 1: remember the other side of that. Clemson, Ohio State and
Speaker 1: everybody else was going out, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: got to stay back and watch the game. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got hungry. I ordered Dominoes, and I've always liked Dominoes,
Speaker 1: and I think I still kind of do. But I
Speaker 1: started eating my Domino's pepperoni pie and I said to myself,
Speaker 1: I know this is what Dominoes has tasted like for
Speaker 1: at least ten years. And I know I've liked Dominoes
Speaker 1: for ten years. If you're in the movie for like
Speaker 1: a fast foodish pizza always been terrific for me, and
Speaker 1: I was eating it. I was just like, when did
Speaker 1: Dominos get terrible? When did it just become tasteless? You
Speaker 1: don't like the robust tomato sauce. I thought I did,
Speaker 1: and maybe it was just a bad pie. But I've
Speaker 1: had that experience with other foods that I was positive.
Speaker 1: I liked three years ago, National Chain, you know, go
Speaker 1: to CPK or cheesecake factory, whatever, positive you like their food,
Speaker 1: and then you get old and it just it doesn't
Speaker 1: excite me. I take a bite and I'm like, what happened?
Speaker 2: This happened to me with easy Mac freshman year of college.
Speaker 2: You ate so much of it and now you yeah,
Speaker 2: same deal. The level of excitement of oh a new vacuum,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Ti.
Speaker 1: I mean this falls. There's vacuum, there's powerwasher, there's all
Speaker 1: sorts of different items that really clean a house, clean
Speaker 1: an apartment, whatever that. When you upgrade and you see
Speaker 1: how much better things work, I could cry. I could cry.
Speaker 1: It's so nice. Oh, especially when you may or may
Speaker 1: not be married to somebody who is not tidy at all.
Speaker 2: Can't tell you a weird thing I've started doing, and Solid,
Speaker 2: the solid wife has has pointed this out to me,
Speaker 2: and I don't know when it started. I assume it's
Speaker 2: with age. I've got this real fascination with local businesses,
Speaker 2: like wanting to support local businesses. Of course it doesn't
Speaker 2: just stop there. I'm always just like fascinated to find
Speaker 2: out more about like how things are going, you know.
Speaker 2: So I'm generally that like weirdo who would walk in
Speaker 2: off the streets. Yeah, like especially now amid pandemic stuff.
Speaker 2: I'll be the guy doing the take out how's business,
Speaker 2: but not just during the pandemic, Like, I'll do that normally,
Speaker 2: and I don't know when that started.
Speaker 1: Will you talk to like a mail carrier, like do
Speaker 1: you know your male carrier's first name?
Speaker 2: No? No, I don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that definitely happens at a certain point where
Speaker 1: you get older and you stop meeting a number of
Speaker 1: new people outside of work or something, and you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Barbara was late and Kate was like, I'm sorry, who
Speaker 1: Barbara mail carreer? No, you haven't Barbara's doll on your
Speaker 1: house business note Tie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have given so much more customer feedback, and not
Speaker 1: like in a may I speak to your manager Karen
Speaker 1: kind of way, just more, Hey, you guys were really
Speaker 1: good tonight, and I just wanted to let you know
Speaker 1: that my takeout order was ready and I appreciate the
Speaker 1: extra bread, and whoever was running takeout was doing an
Speaker 1: awesome job. I like leaving positive feedback more than I
Speaker 1: ever have.
Speaker 2: Do you find that you're a little over zealous about
Speaker 2: giving recommendations to local establishments or just any establishments?
Speaker 1: Ty, If I could somehow craft a job of rec
Speaker 1: amending versatile shorts, local businesses, and recipes. I would leave
Speaker 1: this show so quickly. Yeah, but this is my current
Speaker 1: vehicle for doing I love recommending things so much high
Speaker 1: it brings me so much.
Speaker 2: I got a guy for everything. Kate makes fun of me, all.
Speaker 1: Right, who's the last guy you recommended? Oh?
Speaker 2: My landscaping guy. Yeah, m who currently won't call me back.
Speaker 2: But that's a different story. Continue final three things here
Speaker 2: before we call it a day. Realizing that to a
Speaker 2: tongue of via loa was younger than both my kids,
Speaker 2: and he's doing all that on the football field, and
Speaker 2: that's a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is. I mean that falls in line with
Speaker 1: you being older than ninety percent of NFL.
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks, a player my age. Jay Bruce being described on
Speaker 2: a Sports Center episode as a quote dependable veteran was
Speaker 2: something left in the tank that's been traded.
Speaker 1: That's rough. I mean, when you project that onto yourself,
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing to swallow. That's I've been there.
Speaker 1: I think when Aaron Rodgers is discussed as like he's
Speaker 1: on the back nine of his career, like whoa whoa
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and I went to college at the exact
Speaker 1: same time. Let's be let's be cool here by the way,
Speaker 1: along with your landscape or note. Have you ever found yourself,
Speaker 1: and I assume to Kate, have you ever found yourself
Speaker 1: talking for too long about how easy some sort of
Speaker 1: fix it job turned out to be?
Speaker 2: Plumbing?
Speaker 1: So all the time, any sort of fix a job,
Speaker 1: like let's say she or you scuffed your car and
Speaker 1: you got a little bit of paint on your car
Speaker 1: because you've got close to a pole or whatever, a beam,
Speaker 1: and there's a little bit of what color car do
Speaker 1: you have, Tyler, charcoal car, black car? So let's say
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a beige or something on
Speaker 1: your car, and you found like a putty that was
Speaker 1: easy to rub the paint.
Speaker 2: Out of your car, right right.
Speaker 1: I would talk about that for hours. I really thought
Speaker 1: my car was screwed, but I found this. Have you
Speaker 1: heard of easy out putty? You gotta get yourself some
Speaker 1: easy out putty. Just leave it in the garage. You
Speaker 1: never Oh. I love describing how accidentally easy a fix
Speaker 1: it job was. Oh, it brings me joy.
Speaker 2: Final one here, Okay, when I went to an EDM
Speaker 2: show and passed out from the flashing lights and thudding beat.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I am allergic kids music. I literally cannot listen to
Speaker 2: it without physical trauma.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's incredible, that's I I will. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: this recommendation, take it or leave it. You should bring
Speaker 1: earplugs to every wedding you would.
Speaker 2: You've talked about this before.
Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. I'm gonna repeat it again
Speaker 1: because sometimes, you know, maybe people aren't listening to every show.
Speaker 1: Maybe we have new listeners. There is no wedding, especially
Speaker 1: an indoor wedding, a fully indoor wedding in like a
Speaker 1: ballroom or wherever, especially, but not necessarily, only with a
Speaker 1: live band, which love a live band, love a DJ,
Speaker 1: whatever you got works. You know they're they're playing the hits.
Speaker 1: It's great. There is no wedding that isn't made better
Speaker 1: by earplugs. And as long as you are able to
Speaker 1: make peace, it helps. If you have a significant other already,
Speaker 1: I will tell you that if you're looking to pick
Speaker 1: somebody up at the wedding, it can hurt you. It
Speaker 1: can hurt You've got sort of blue clay sticking out
Speaker 1: of your ears. That's rough. But if you bring in
Speaker 1: a date to a wedding, already throw some earplugs when
Speaker 1: you hit the dance floor. You go that I stand
Speaker 1: by every single moment that I've done that and I
Speaker 1: get looks. Doesn't change a thing. I love it.
