Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal I'll that for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy
Speaker 1: for dake Edo State?
Speaker 2: Is that? Whoo whoo? And no, Dan and Tye, welcome
Speaker 2: back to the solid Urbal boys and girls. My name
Speaker 2: is ty Hildebrant. I am over here in snow Yallentown, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: I am joined by my friend, in colleague and co
Speaker 2: host of many years way over there in also snow
Speaker 2: in New York City, Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you?
Speaker 1: I am nervous, Tie, I have I have just I
Speaker 1: have butterflies in my stomach right now because we have
Speaker 1: been wanting to do this show for so long. We
Speaker 1: came up with the concept for this show a couple
Speaker 1: months ago. Yeah, I had a long day of work.
Speaker 1: I just got back from my bachelor party. I've given
Speaker 1: this way too much thoughts and I am. I am
Speaker 1: thus very excited. Also because there's nothing to talk about
Speaker 1: in college football. There's nothing talk about in college football.
Speaker 1: So here here's the deal. We talked about it on
Speaker 1: the last show, last couple shows.
Speaker 2: It's the off season and once you get to this timeframe,
Speaker 2: kind of like between now and spring football, now and
Speaker 2: the draft. It's slow going in terms of actual college
Speaker 2: football stuff.
Speaker 1: We had talked.
Speaker 2: About doing this show all throughout last season. We're calling
Speaker 2: it the Secret Garbage Bracket, and we've timed it coincidentally
Speaker 2: enough that the NCAA Tournament starts tomorrow. We're recording this
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday evening the tournament, the actual NCAA basketball tournament.
Speaker 2: We do have a pool for the Saliver bol you
Speaker 2: haven't seen it go on the Facebook or Twitter, but
Speaker 2: we're doing a different bracket. It's thematic, but it's a
Speaker 2: different kind of bracket, which we'll get into here in
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Last night, and I didn't send you this file because
Speaker 1: it's abhorrent, but we have music for this, the theme music. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this the Secret Garbage Bracket. And I was trying to
Speaker 1: find like a Marv albert esque voice to lay over it,
Speaker 1: and I was just I was going, like from New
Speaker 1: York and Alan, so I kept like trying to do that.
Speaker 1: So obviously my voice is a little higher than Marv Alberts.
Speaker 1: He's got that low like from the MCI, So probably, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And every single take I did, and this is without exception,
Speaker 1: it sounded like Marv Albert was doing the voice of
Speaker 1: Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, So it was
Speaker 1: always just like from New York City. She was very
Speaker 1: bad time. It was extremely unfortunate they get any for effort.
Speaker 1: The secret garbage bracket.
Speaker 2: We solicited a bunch of suggestions, many of which we
Speaker 2: had already come up with on our own, but some
Speaker 2: of which gave us really good ideas to include in
Speaker 2: our brackets.
Speaker 1: So many.
Speaker 2: I will get to the format of that, and we
Speaker 2: will lay down the intro track here momentarily before we
Speaker 2: do a few housekeeping notes. First and foremost, if you're
Speaker 2: listing the show or just finding so the first time,
Speaker 2: please do subscribe out on iTunes, at iTunes, dot com,
Speaker 2: slash Solid Verbal, or anywhere where you can find your
Speaker 2: favorite podcasts.
Speaker 1: Dan.
Speaker 2: We have been getting a lot of reviews. We got
Speaker 2: a great review that I posted the Twitter quote if
Speaker 2: ty hildon Brandt would relax and talk like a normal person,
Speaker 2: I'd give it another star.
Speaker 1: Listen, you have the pipes, why waste them? Why waste them?
Speaker 1: Just like hanging out and speaking like a normal human.
Speaker 2: That's do you think I don't. Do you think I
Speaker 2: don't speak normally though? Like I kind of talk like
Speaker 2: this in real life too.
Speaker 1: I don't think you fully speak like this in real life. No,
Speaker 1: we've hung out enough where you are. You are in
Speaker 1: broadcast mode as a broadcaster. But like what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: like for instance, like you can never stop talking about
Speaker 1: like sex stuff, right, so like you have a different
Speaker 1: voice when you talk about stuff like that. Now you're
Speaker 1: you're a lower key, I would say, in talking about
Speaker 1: normal stuff. All right, Well I'll try to I'll try
Speaker 1: to dial it back here. Now, stay you, the people
Speaker 1: love you.
Speaker 2: Be my normal, relaxed eight if you will also find
Speaker 2: us on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on snapchat. More
Speaker 2: on that in a little bit here as we get
Speaker 2: into our brackets, anything else, anything else, I'm leading out
Speaker 2: before we just dive right in.
Speaker 1: No, I'll give a couple people asked. I'll give a
Speaker 1: very brief review of my bachelor party from yes please,
Speaker 1: and after the bracket, that'll be our epilogue for this
Speaker 1: ridiculous show.
Speaker 2: New Orleans, right, New Orleans? All right, Louisiana great, can't wait? Okay,
Speaker 2: let's way down. Oh yeah, New York. All right, Dan,
Speaker 2: this is the secret garbage bracket show.
Speaker 1: M hmm, what exactly is this, Dan, I'm glad you asked, Ty,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. So. Secret garbage is taking something
Speaker 1: that is universally not necessarily beloved, but accepted, welcomed into society,
Speaker 1: into the open arms of a polite society, as being
Speaker 1: something that is generally thought of as good, as acceptable,
Speaker 1: as fun, as a thing people enjoy, and we just
Speaker 1: sort of move on from it without fully recognizing that
Speaker 1: this thing, it could be food, it could be a place,
Speaker 1: it could be an activity, it could be a state
Speaker 1: of mind, it could be a concept, whatever the case
Speaker 1: may be, is secretly actually garbage. And I think we've
Speaker 1: tried to shift in a direction. Tie and excuse me
Speaker 1: if I'm speaking out of turn. Like, we try to appreciate,
Speaker 1: we try to be a little bit more positive, we
Speaker 1: make jokes, but we genuinely love college football, right correct, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love our subject matter. Yes it's a complicated one,
Speaker 1: but we love it. So this is something that we
Speaker 1: are taking something that people seem to all like or
Speaker 1: mostly like, but that we feel strongly against. We feel
Speaker 1: that this thing, this concept, this whatever it is this
Speaker 1: item is secretly just trash.
Speaker 2: I would also add that because an item is featured
Speaker 2: in our sixteen Team sixteen Thing bracket that we're about
Speaker 2: to unveil, it does not require that you or I
Speaker 2: actually dislike any of the things that we're putting out there.
Speaker 2: There are some things in this list that I genuinely enjoy,
Speaker 2: But okay, I feel like a little self awareness goes
Speaker 2: a long way. It can be a very powerful thing,
Speaker 2: and in this case, I think all of the items
Speaker 2: that we're about to unveil here are very applicable. So
Speaker 2: what we did is we put together a Google form
Speaker 2: and we threw it out there as of our last show.
Speaker 2: We told people submit the things that you think apply.
Speaker 2: We got a whole spectrum of answers, some of which
Speaker 2: totally fit the bill and we used some of which
Speaker 2: were kind of on the cusp, which we can talk
Speaker 2: about a little bit later, some which just totally missed
Speaker 2: the mark but were funny. Like over four hundred plus
Speaker 2: submissions to this which on short notice was doing pretty.
Speaker 1: Well if I don't say so myself.
Speaker 2: What you and I have decided to do in order
Speaker 2: to make this a little bit more mysterious a bit
Speaker 2: more dramatic. We have each filled out a roster of
Speaker 2: eight items each, right, yeah, we have prepared a bracket
Speaker 2: where we can slot each of our seated items.
Speaker 1: But you know who's on my list, I know who's
Speaker 1: on yours. We don't know the order of.
Speaker 2: The seeds, so it's kind of like a high school
Speaker 2: wrestling match. We know the roster, we don't know the order.
Speaker 2: The matchups could dictate who ultimately ends up winning this thing, right.
Speaker 1: I imagine, So, yes, absolutely, And we'll openly add that
Speaker 1: if you are randomly listening to this show and you
Speaker 1: are a fan of the show to whatever degree, you
Speaker 1: are probably going to disagree with like eighty percent, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're I think violently, not mindly, vehemently, you are
Speaker 1: not going to appreciate a lot of these things because
Speaker 1: they fit under the category of things people like. And
Speaker 1: this is the disclaimer that I want to give Ty
Speaker 1: and feel free to jump in if I'm wrong. Ty
Speaker 1: and I are both very dumb, so let's just get
Speaker 1: that out of the way. Agreed, Yeah, that we are
Speaker 1: both very dumb, and we have strong opinions about things
Speaker 1: that are probably going to be wrong, And does that
Speaker 1: mean we love you any less if you disagree? I
Speaker 1: mean maybe, I don't know. I can't say for certain,
Speaker 1: but Ty, do we want to play the music again?
Speaker 1: If you know what the music sounds like? It sounds
Speaker 1: like the music that was behind Bob Hope trotting out,
Speaker 1: like the All American team in nineteen eighty four where
Speaker 1: it was just like Berry sand I don't know why
Speaker 1: I'm going to cry again. I could see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So do you want to start with your lineup or
Speaker 1: do you want me to start with mine?
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with our East region here, Dan, we've
Speaker 2: broken down into four regions. We're doing the Sweet sixteen
Speaker 2: because if we did the final thirty two or even
Speaker 2: sixty four, we'd be here all day. We could do
Speaker 2: that if the assignment required it, but in this case,
Speaker 2: we don't have the time. So we're going to go
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen and we're going to start in the East Region.
Speaker 2: We need to come up with better name for these regions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can do that.
Speaker 2: My number one seed, Dan, will be going up against
Speaker 2: your number eight seed.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My number one seed is the NFL number eight
Speaker 1: going against the NFL is day drinking ooh day drinking.
Speaker 1: All right, so again things that people like that are
Speaker 1: secretly trash. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I will use the words of one Spencer Hall as
Speaker 2: it applies to the NFL. He said a long time
Speaker 2: ago that the NFL is like paying for sex. I
Speaker 2: can think of no better way to describe the NFL.
Speaker 2: I enjoy it, I genuinely enjoy it, but it's a
Speaker 2: lot like drinking diet coke. There is something, there's a soul,
Speaker 2: there's an individuality element that.
Speaker 1: Is missing from the NFL. It just feels too corporate.
Speaker 2: Everything that is fun has been boiled out of the
Speaker 2: final product that by far is my number one seed.
Speaker 1: I don't think I watched a full NFL game in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen during the regular season. I don't believe I did.
Speaker 1: And I work on Sundays and it's a little bit
Speaker 1: more difficult. But NFL is the product on TV is
Speaker 1: particularly bad. There's what ten eight good quarterbacks out of
Speaker 1: thirty two teams. It's still not all that creative. I
Speaker 1: really do like watching the best quarterbacks, but beyond that,
Speaker 1: it takes a long time, not as long as college
Speaker 1: for the games, and it's just it's tedious to me
Speaker 1: at this point, it is tedious after watching college football
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I don't like the broadcasters all that much.
Speaker 1: I don't like the pregame shows all that much, and
Speaker 1: it brings out the worst in sports media, I would say,
Speaker 1: and for that, I think your number one seed is
Speaker 1: pretty strong. My number eight seed tie is day drinking
Speaker 1: and agent proponent day drinking. I'm a big, big proponent
Speaker 1: in avoiding everything, and I've talked about this. It falls
Speaker 1: into the same category, under the same umbrella as pancakes.
Speaker 1: Don't do anything in the morning midday that's going to
Speaker 1: ruin the rest of your day. Day drinking. It puts
Speaker 1: me to sleep. I feel like gross after two hours.
Speaker 1: I just I can't handle it. I think it's it's
Speaker 1: just avoid it. It's not worth it. I here a
Speaker 1: lot of it involves sweeter drinks too. It's largely garbage.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a process.
Speaker 2: I disagree with you because I do enjoy the day
Speaker 2: drinking experience, but I will say this, in order to
Speaker 2: enjoy the experience, you need to be a veteran at it,
Speaker 2: because if you go too hard too early, then it
Speaker 2: most certainly ruins your day an hour later. You have
Speaker 2: to know how to pace yourself in order to really
Speaker 2: get maximum enjoyment out of it.
Speaker 1: Will you drink at brunch? Brunch is another thing that
Speaker 1: I'd be happy to have on this list, But brunch
Speaker 1: was a suggestion that we got here.
Speaker 2: I've been known to have a mimosa or too at
Speaker 2: a brunch, but it's not something I generally would do.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's secretly exciting. It is that you're still on
Speaker 1: that momosa train. You love a good moments. I do, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I think it's a wreck. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's no when day drinking is garbage.
Speaker 2: I think you can get away with it. I think
Speaker 2: you can get away with it. I think you can
Speaker 2: still have a good time. It definitely takes a toll
Speaker 2: on you, and there's a high probability of ruining the
Speaker 2: rest of your day. I understand why this is an
Speaker 2: eight seed though, and that to me makes sense. I
Speaker 2: feel like we've got to move the NFL through here though, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can move the NFL through.
Speaker 2: I've got some gush Johnson sounds here, do you I do?
Speaker 1: I got that one. I got a few other ones here.
Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL is going far. I feel
Speaker 1: like the NFL is the Georgetown or Kansas All right.
Speaker 2: Well, fair enough, then you got to tell me who
Speaker 2: you think is going to beat the NFL. Absolutely also
Speaker 2: in this bracket. So the NFL is going to play
Speaker 2: the winner of your four seed in my five seed.
Speaker 1: So who is who is the number four seed? With
Speaker 1: my number four seed? I'm going with steakhouses. Tie ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm going steakhouses. So here's my issue. I haven't been
Speaker 1: to a steakhouse in a long time. Here's my issue.
Speaker 1: Steak is fine, It's totally fine. You want to pay
Speaker 1: thirty five forty dollars for a cut of beef with
Speaker 1: salt and pepper, that's up to you. Good for you.
Speaker 1: It's boring to me. The formality of it is so
Speaker 1: stuffy it's not fun. Everything is relatively overpriced, the same
Speaker 1: like three appetite. You want cream spinach, You want a
Speaker 1: crabcash potatoes? Yeah, you want garlic mashed potato. Like it's
Speaker 1: something that is for boring middle aged people. And I
Speaker 1: understand myself to be a boring person in his early thirties.
Speaker 1: But if you live in a city with interesting food,
Speaker 1: I will never understand why you like steak is it's
Speaker 1: just steak or lobster or what crab claws like, Let's
Speaker 1: do better. Let's get some Vietnamese food, Let's get some
Speaker 1: Mexican food, Let's get sometali. You're a food you settle,
Speaker 1: you're a foodie, but like, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: a foodie to enjoy Asian food or Mexican food or
Speaker 1: Italian food. Tie.
Speaker 2: I feel like if you would put Brazilian steakhouses here,
Speaker 2: it was potentially a number one or a number two seed.
Speaker 1: Sure, but steakhouses in general, I'm with you. If you
Speaker 1: want to go for the most boring possible evening with
Speaker 1: the most boring possible people suggest going to a steakhouse.
Speaker 2: I would say that the workers at a steakhouse take
Speaker 2: the steak so seriously that it's kind of intimidating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's very self serious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't necessarily get a better cut of steak
Speaker 2: for simply being at a steakhouse.
Speaker 1: I've been at steakhouses and gotten good steak. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like steak is fine, but I don't feel like
Speaker 2: the two are always related.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like the oversized wine goblets, and it's
Speaker 1: just like meat and starch and the whole idea of
Speaker 1: and I know people feel this way, you like that
Speaker 1: maiden starchy when people say this about barbecue, like, oh,
Speaker 1: a good barbecue just needs salt and pepper. That's it. Cool,
Speaker 1: have fun, that's you know. Boring people will just treat
Speaker 1: their food in boring ways. It's just it's tedious and
Speaker 1: you get like these giant menus and the people come
Speaker 1: out with that.
Speaker 3: You can like look at your steaks before him, like, oh,
Speaker 3: did you want the robbot? Did you want to see
Speaker 3: them marbling on the room? No? No, God, this is stupid.
Speaker 3: Let's go someone, Let's go get some fu. My hunch
Speaker 3: is that you feel very passionate about this. You're not
Speaker 3: just putting on a show here.
Speaker 1: No, it's it is for like very stayed. It's it's
Speaker 1: just when if you live in a place that has
Speaker 1: like two restaurants, one of them is probably a steakhouse, okay,
Speaker 1: And if you are in a place with two restaurants,
Speaker 1: you're making bad decisions, all right, point taking point taking.
Speaker 2: My number five seed is another fine dining establishment. You
Speaker 2: may know it as Panera. What is wrong with Panera?
Speaker 1: I love me some Broccolian cheese. Soup. I love it
Speaker 1: as much as the next guy. I love me so
Speaker 1: smoked turkey on Country. I love hearing like your food
Speaker 1: directions are just my favorite thing thus far. You've come
Speaker 1: out wildly in favor of mimosas and broccoli and cheese,
Speaker 1: so that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in favor of the broccoli and cheese soup.
Speaker 2: I'm in favor of the smoke turkey on Country, a
Speaker 2: lot of the other stuff that tastes good that Panera offers.
Speaker 2: My problem is that I don't like it for ten
Speaker 2: dollars a pop, and I definitely don't like it after
Speaker 2: you like go on YouTube or read the articles and
Speaker 2: see that the cheese soup comes out of a frozen
Speaker 2: plastic bag.
Speaker 1: The whole brand, the whole brand is.
Speaker 2: Built around freshness, right. None of this stuff is actually fresh,
Speaker 2: and to boot it's overpriced, right. I feel like Panera
Speaker 2: was in vogue there for a while. It probably still is,
Speaker 2: but I have cooled dramatically on the whole Panera train.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's good enough to beat out steakhouses,
Speaker 2: but I feel like there are a lot of people
Speaker 2: who are still pretty gung ho on Panera and see
Speaker 2: Uly it's still very garbage.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, this is not as applicable
Speaker 1: because I just I've only been to Panera maybe two
Speaker 1: or three times in my life. Really, Okay, I regularly
Speaker 1: will pay eleven or twelve dollars for lunch because I
Speaker 1: live in an over. I go, say, you also live
Speaker 1: in New York, but point right, So I will regularly
Speaker 1: pay that much for lunch anyway. But I would think
Speaker 1: it's so there's there's different categories, right. There's like your
Speaker 1: fast food, and you have like your value manual, so
Speaker 1: you could get away with paying like four dollars for lunch.
Speaker 1: You have your intermediate like or like low end fast casual,
Speaker 1: which is what I feel like Panera falls under. And
Speaker 1: then you're sort of more modern fast casual, which is
Speaker 1: like Shakeshack or because Shakeshack is definitely a step up
Speaker 1: price wise. There's places in the arc dig In is
Speaker 1: one of them, Chopped As another one, like salads and
Speaker 1: plates and bowls and sandwiches and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: it'll set you back eleven or twelve bucks. But the
Speaker 1: quality of a place like that, I feel like is
Speaker 1: generally higher than Panera, so you sort of get what
Speaker 1: you pay for. So I think you're right. And Panara
Speaker 1: falls into one of those gray areas like either get
Speaker 1: fast food or get something a little nicer, and Banara
Speaker 1: doesn't hit either one of those things.
Speaker 2: I agree, all right, So it's Steakhouses against Panera. I
Speaker 2: think we can unanimously agree that steakhouses gets the not here.
Speaker 1: I think we got to move steakhouses. I don't want
Speaker 1: to eat around bow ties.
Speaker 2: I just don't the four or five matchups generally generally
Speaker 2: very evenly matched, very pivotal contests. Steakhouses gets to no here.
Speaker 2: I have no retort against it. Moving on now to
Speaker 2: the Midwest Region. So we've got our first two in
Speaker 2: the elite eight through in the East region. The NFL
Speaker 2: in Steakhouses look forward to that matchup in the next round.
Speaker 2: Now we go to the Midwest, Dan and this is
Speaker 2: your two seed against my seventh seed. My number two
Speaker 2: seed is Las Vegas, Nevada. Oh man, Now wow, I
Speaker 2: know people from Las Vegas. I'm gonna be specific.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say vacationing in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is
Speaker 1: generally centered around the strip and environs Las Vegas is useless.
Speaker 1: Once you turn twenty two. You don't need to go
Speaker 1: to Vegas. And now you might be saying yourself, well,
Speaker 1: I mean the restaurants in a show, and she's like, no,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be around people that love going
Speaker 1: to Vegas because that you have to go to shows
Speaker 1: around people who love going to Vegas. You have to
Speaker 1: go to restaurants around people who love going to Vegas.
Speaker 1: And it's a mess, and it's loud, and it's hot
Speaker 1: and it's smoky, and you hear dada. All right, but
Speaker 1: hold on, let me retort.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily disagree with this, but what if you're
Speaker 2: there for something other than gambling or drinking or Debauchrie like,
Speaker 2: what if you went for so?
Speaker 1: What are you there for? A concert? Do you want
Speaker 1: to see Celindion and she's doing it only in Vegas?
Speaker 1: I'm literal see Britney Spears. Go with you, Ty, go
Speaker 1: see Britney Spears.
Speaker 2: What if you want to go see the Hoover Dam
Speaker 2: and just stay in Vegas and do the helicopter tour?
Speaker 2: What if you want to go out there and play
Speaker 2: a nice desert golf course. Dan Golf also a possibility.
Speaker 1: Go to Arizona, go to Arizona. I'm just saying it
Speaker 1: might not be all bad. I know. I just if
Speaker 1: you like, like gambling is just so boring to me too,
Speaker 1: Like you're sitting in a disgusting room with mostly degenerates
Speaker 1: losing your money. Like, if I'm going to lose my money,
Speaker 1: I want to do it in a more exciting way.
Speaker 1: I think it's garbage. Do you gamble? Do you go
Speaker 1: and you sit it like a craps table or a
Speaker 1: blackjack table.
Speaker 2: I'll do the blackjack thing. Yeah, I haven't did a while,
Speaker 2: and since I've been married, I've done it exactly zero.
Speaker 2: But right I enjoy myself a good black chack actual
Speaker 2: or too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you does the solid wife Kate ever say? Ty?
Speaker 1: Do you ever want to want to go to Vegas?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, Okay, I was gonna say no, that's never happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, And if we're going to sort of parse
Speaker 1: this and I have like a subheading, Atlantic cities might
Speaker 1: be worse, which is great. Atlantic City, though, has a
Speaker 1: different kind of charm. There is some charm to Atlantic City. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not trying to be Vegas in the same way,
Speaker 1: even though there are casinos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like Vegas, saw Atlantic City and decided
Speaker 2: it wanted to be like a thousand times better. All right,
Speaker 2: your number two is Vegas against my number seven, right,
Speaker 2: Like this, this is specific, it's very specific. Bluetooth connectivity.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it threw long and hard and you know,
Speaker 2: kind of along the along the same lines of like
Speaker 2: AC being a poor man's Vegas. Bluetooth connectivity is wireless connectivity,
Speaker 2: but it has shorter range, slower data speeds, like a
Speaker 2: greater likelihood of getting disconnected, like all of the possibilities
Speaker 2: that exist with any kind of wireless connection, all the
Speaker 2: risks that exist with a wireless connection are multiplied about
Speaker 2: eightfold when it comes to bluetooth connectivity. And yet we're
Speaker 2: still making bluetooth devices. They're selling things like hotcakes on
Speaker 2: the Bluetooth side of things, whether it's a speaker or
Speaker 2: some neck buds whatever they call them. Now by a
Speaker 2: whole range of great Bluetooth products. But to me, it's
Speaker 2: just not reliable.
Speaker 1: Ty, I just got some bows Bluetooth headphones. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: great when they charge, right, have charging issues with them?
Speaker 1: Not great? Yeah, Bluetooth is like the new printer cable
Speaker 1: or the new print like has a printer ever for
Speaker 1: its entire life just worked. I no, no, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like a single printer has been produced. So that
Speaker 1: sort of falls under the same corollary as the Bluetooth connectivity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a mess. I don't have a car,
Speaker 1: so I don't have that experience that you probably do connecting.
Speaker 1: But Bluetooth seems kind of garbage. Bluetooth in the car
Speaker 1: is a treasure unto itself. I'm gonna go Vegas here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the w hair. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Vegas here. Let's go gus. He does that little laugh.
Speaker 1: All right, So you got another one through to the
Speaker 1: Elite eight here. I'm penciling it in on our sheet,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: That brings us to the second matchup in the Midwest
Speaker 2: region before we take a station break here. Okay, an
Speaker 2: interesting way that the Midwest region has been set up.
Speaker 1: You're gonna notice a theme here.
Speaker 2: We did not plan this out, honestly we didn't, but
Speaker 2: there is a decided party theme going on here, with
Speaker 2: the exception of course, a blue to the connectivity. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my number three seed is bottle service.
Speaker 1: Dan Okay, so I took exception with this. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: did you like bottle service? No, I've never done bottle
Speaker 1: service in my life. I'm only sort of positive. I
Speaker 1: know what it is, but I don't know a single
Speaker 1: person that does this. Okay, do you know people that
Speaker 1: do this? Yes, that will go to like I, off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, could not tell you the
Speaker 1: last time last time I went to a club was
Speaker 1: probably when I was in Las Vegas and it was awful.
Speaker 1: And I don't know the last time friends of mine
Speaker 1: have been to a club and had even the option
Speaker 1: to do this. So quick sidebar, hold on, let me
Speaker 1: jump in. I lied. I was offered bottle service at
Speaker 1: my bachelor party this past week. Oh there you go.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. That didn't do it in a previous.
Speaker 2: Life, and certainly not on my own volition. I was
Speaker 2: part of a crew that did bottle service at a
Speaker 2: local bar, and I could tell you from experience that
Speaker 2: I've never been more on comfortable, and I've never felt
Speaker 2: more pretentious in my entire life. That's just not my speech.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's pretentious. I don't think it is
Speaker 1: fully on douchey. I think it's douchey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well sure, I just you know, in a crowded nightclub,
Speaker 2: it can give you instant status. You know, if you're
Speaker 2: out in Vegas, it can give you status if you
Speaker 2: have the booth of your crew.
Speaker 1: It's so bad.
Speaker 2: It's definitely way more convenient not having to go and
Speaker 2: fight for a bartender's attention. I get that aspect of it,
Speaker 2: But one hundred and fifty dollars for one bottle stuff
Speaker 2: like that. To me, anything overpriced falls into the garbage category,
Speaker 2: whether it's secret or not. And bottle service, when you
Speaker 2: layer on top of it, the fact that it could
Speaker 2: be pretentious and douchey and all that stuff in between,
Speaker 2: that to me is definitely something that maybe a younger
Speaker 2: generation is into, but I am not.
Speaker 1: The rest of these entries are things we come across
Speaker 1: pretty often, Panera steakhouses, the NFL Las Vegas's Bachelor and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Bluetooth connectivity obviously you have a serious
Speaker 1: issue with, yes, But the bottle service thing is like
Speaker 1: once every three years you get offered it. In my experience, well,
Speaker 1: I mean there are other things on here. It doesn't fit,
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. You don't think it's mainstream enough.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's mainstream enough.
Speaker 2: I think it is. Okay, I think it is. I
Speaker 2: strongly disagree. Bottle services. Okay, it's a bottle service. Will
Speaker 2: be squaring off against my number six seed in the Midwest.
Speaker 1: My number six seed is New Year's Eve. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: an underseed. It's probably underseeded. New Year's Eve is a
Speaker 1: total waste of time. I mean, if you have problems
Speaker 1: with overpriced things, I don't know how you put bottle
Speaker 1: service ahead of an entire night that includes bottle service options. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: So New Year's Eve is, you know, restaurants and bars
Speaker 1: and clubs will invite people out and you can sign
Speaker 1: up for prefix menus and things like that, and you
Speaker 1: count down, you dress up nicely. I get the idea
Speaker 1: of going out and dressing up and sort of gathering
Speaker 1: friends and you know, your spouse whatever, and really doing
Speaker 1: it up. I understand that. But the pain of it,
Speaker 1: especially if you follow college football, which I assume most
Speaker 1: people listening do, it's it's not worth it. It is
Speaker 1: just I think your plan tie is pretty genius, and
Speaker 1: that is figure out your own tradition. You do the
Speaker 1: hibachi thing, right, You order a bunch of mimosas and
Speaker 1: broccoli cheese soup and just do your thing. That's right, baby,
Speaker 1: Going all out on New Year's Eve, it just seems
Speaker 1: like such garbage. It seems it's useless, it's overrated.
Speaker 2: That's what Bill Hancock tried. Bill Hancock wanted to start
Speaker 2: a new tradition. Didn't work for him. New tradition didn't
Speaker 2: work for him. Here's my problem with New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. Yeah, I've been an outspoken critic against
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve for as long as I can remember.
Speaker 2: But if you're going to argue that bottle service is
Speaker 2: not mainstream enough to be included or to be seated
Speaker 2: as highly as I've seated it, you could also make
Speaker 2: the case that New Year's Eve it's overtly garbage, Dan,
Speaker 2: It's an entire Everyone knows it's garbage already, So the
Speaker 2: secret factor is lacking here.
Speaker 1: I live in a place where like one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people pack themselves annually into a tiny square. Those people
Speaker 1: really like it. Those show up there, Dan, I know,
Speaker 1: but they like I mean, these are people that like
Speaker 1: it's an experience to go to Times Square and see
Speaker 1: that that's a noted event in this country, in this world.
Speaker 1: But that's going out for New Year's Eve. That's going
Speaker 1: out to an event. It's like going to a concert.
Speaker 2: It doesn't necessarily mean that you are a New Year's
Speaker 2: Eve apologist?
Speaker 1: Right? Do you like New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2: No, I've never liked New Year's Eve. Okay, yeah, but
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm out in the open about that. But
Speaker 2: people will go out all over the place, they go
Speaker 2: out for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: They do, they do.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's not that much. It's it's not
Speaker 2: secret garbage. It's out in the open garbage. It's a
Speaker 2: garbage can with no because people do it. People like it.
Speaker 1: Bottle service against New Year's Eve. I'm saying strong, sixtyed,
Speaker 1: maybe underseated, but I'm going to ride for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: I still think Bottle service has it beat. I think
Speaker 1: fewer people like Bottle Service than like New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: Like I think, I think people are much more squarely
Speaker 1: like I think it's eighty twenty people don't like it,
Speaker 1: or I think New Year's Eve is closer to like
Speaker 1: sixty forty fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: We had our Fantasy Things Scoring podcast a while ago,
Speaker 2: and I caught a lot of crap for letting you
Speaker 2: push too hard on me.
Speaker 1: But nobody likes bottle service.
Speaker 2: I feel like there are a lot of people listening
Speaker 2: that like bottle service, but I'm going to give it
Speaker 2: to you. I'm going to agree with you on this front.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah you are.
Speaker 2: I'm going to agree with you on this front. Far
Speaker 2: more people like New Year's Eve than bottle service. I
Speaker 2: think that's objectively true. So because I think that fits
Speaker 2: the spirit. Because of that, I am willing to go
Speaker 2: ahead and give you New Year's here, New Year's Eve
Speaker 2: against Vegas.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. That hound's going to be a knockdown
Speaker 1: drag out.
Speaker 2: But on that note, Dan, you know what isn't secretly garbage?
Speaker 1: What's that time? How about getting a suit that fits?
Speaker 1: Oh I'm in that business. Did you get your suit
Speaker 1: yet for your wedding? I need that need. I have
Speaker 1: not gotten head tie? Are you Are you actually going

Speaker 2: The West region is your number one seed against my
Speaker 2: number eight seed? Dan, who is your number one seed?
Speaker 1: I'm going with an entrant that is I feel unbeatable
Speaker 1: even by bottle surface. Don't make fun of my bottle service.
Speaker 1: My number one is social media. Ooh. People love social media.
Speaker 1: People have built careers, people have become wealthy, people have
Speaker 1: become famous because of social media. MySpace Shanngda, fancred, Friendster,
Speaker 1: Friends to Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter. Social media is largely garbage. Okay,
Speaker 1: why so Facebook is? Again? It's so at this point,
Speaker 1: I scroll through my Facebook feed and it's just it's
Speaker 1: babies and people yelling about politics, both sides of the baby.
Speaker 1: Twitter is you know, it's anonymous people harassing women and
Speaker 1: even like the harassment aside, Like if you sign up
Speaker 1: for Twitter and you're not like really really into anything,
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you get into Twitter at all.
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of people spewing garbage. Twitter is
Speaker 1: good for jokes. Twitter's good for goofs and occasionally meeting
Speaker 1: other civil and like minded people, but that is occasional.
Speaker 1: That is not often. Although we do have a sports
Speaker 1: media friend who met his wife on Twitter. I believe Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Twitter's garbage. It takes up way too much of people's times,
Speaker 1: myself included. Facebook is just a mess, and Instagram, you
Speaker 1: get it is good to learn on places like Instagram
Speaker 1: and snapchat. Which of your friends like film and stuff
Speaker 1: like pointing their cameras at whatever is happening in the world,
Speaker 1: and which of them just pointed at themselves and you're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, they really like themselves a lot. That
Speaker 1: is good to learn, right, But the actual value of
Speaker 1: all of these things is a minus. It's such a
Speaker 1: waste of time. Like if you pull back, like if
Speaker 1: you went on a trip right now, ty, and you
Speaker 1: went to Yosemite and you just didn't bring your phone
Speaker 1: out of where the tent or the tent cabin or
Speaker 1: wherever you're staying. You just didn't bring your phone. You
Speaker 1: and Kate and Mama h I know, not Uncle Joe
Speaker 1: because he's terrified of planes. But if you just went
Speaker 1: out and hiked, just talked, just looked around, you'd have
Speaker 1: your phone on you. You don't have anything to worry about.
Speaker 1: Your experience would be at least ten thousand times I would.
Speaker 2: Get the shakes without my phone. But that's a separate
Speaker 2: topic altogether.
Speaker 1: But after you got over those shakes, you would just
Speaker 1: like crack jokes talking about life. Okay, here's here's my counterpoint. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, follow us on a solid verbal and
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash.
Speaker 2: Yes please do Yeah. Social media brought us the ice
Speaker 2: bucket challenge. Was that annoying a little, but it did
Speaker 2: lead to a pretty significant breakthrough in als research. That
Speaker 2: wasn't a bad thing on the Twitter front. On the
Speaker 2: Twitter front, hold on, there are many folks such as myself.
Speaker 2: Twitter is our primary news source. I don't go to
Speaker 2: a lot of our sites anymore. Twitter is my is
Speaker 2: my primary news source. That is I think a solid
Speaker 2: application of the technology Social media, I think, when applied
Speaker 2: in the correct fashion, can be a really effective means
Speaker 2: of communicating with family and friends. So there's a lot
Speaker 2: of trashy components to it, but I don't think across
Speaker 2: the board it's as unanimously garbage as you're trying to
Speaker 2: get people to believe.
Speaker 1: I just well, so if consumed properly is the key
Speaker 1: raise there? Ty, I don't think it's consumed properly anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm the old man about it. I think it's garbage,
Speaker 1: I really do. So this could I think we were
Speaker 1: in a better place.
Speaker 2: This could potentially be a spot here for one of
Speaker 2: my play in winners to knock off social media.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think?
Speaker 2: I have two items here, one of which is mainstream,
Speaker 2: one of which you said isn't. I could not decide
Speaker 2: which one was my eight seeds, so I was hoping
Speaker 2: maybe we could do a play in game first, if
Speaker 2: that's okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, sure, what do you have? So?
Speaker 2: The first one I have is The Night of which
Speaker 2: is okay a show on HBO that you said wasn't
Speaker 2: mainstream enough. I haven't seen a single second. I would
Speaker 2: contend that it's an HBO show. Therefore, it must be
Speaker 2: mainstream enough. But basically, if you haven't seen it, it
Speaker 2: was a TV show, a mini series they made sort
Speaker 2: of in hopes of riding on the coattails of the
Speaker 2: serial podcast. Mm hmm, but it's like they made a
Speaker 2: TV show without actually listening to the serial podcast.
Speaker 1: Like people loved it. It got rave reviews.
Speaker 2: I watched it like a time and a half, and
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: It leaves a lot to be desired. It's just not
Speaker 1: as good as some point. When you say a time
Speaker 1: and a half you watched it all the way through
Speaker 1: one and a half times.
Speaker 2: I watched it the whole way through, and then I
Speaker 2: jumped back to a few key episodes to try and
Speaker 2: see if I could gather some details and missed the
Speaker 2: first time around.
Speaker 1: Because it truly like it, It left me yearning for more.
Speaker 2: It did get good reviews. People do like it. We
Speaker 2: had a submission of The Night Of a couple times
Speaker 2: on our form. I actually had it jotted down on
Speaker 2: our sheet long before anyone submitted it. So The Night Of,
Speaker 2: I feel like is it. It deserves some contention here.
Speaker 2: The other play in competitor I think is Kale because
Speaker 2: as you know it's it's all the rage. It's a
Speaker 2: super food, but it is a weed and it does
Speaker 2: taste like crap pretty much one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of kale. I gotta admit
Speaker 1: I think that that follows that's a strong contender, but
Speaker 1: he's pretty easily avoided. Did you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is still current. Who the biggest kale buyer
Speaker 1: was in the country, and maybe until recently or perhaps
Speaker 1: still McDonald's which entity not McDonald's Pizza Hut Pizza Hut,
Speaker 1: because they would line as as decoration. They would line
Speaker 1: their their what's it called their lunch counters, their their
Speaker 1: buffets with kale. It was their garnish. They weren't surfing
Speaker 1: it as food tie. Yeah, that's what kale was. It
Speaker 1: was just garnish. I'm going to give this one to kill.
Speaker 2: Kale is big enough where it counts to knock off
Speaker 2: social media. The question is kale against social media? Social
Speaker 2: media is less of a fad than kale. It's been
Speaker 2: around long enough that it's not a fad. You've got
Speaker 2: social media companies that have gone to IPO and been
Speaker 2: on the stock market.
Speaker 1: Now stock exchanges for quite some time, hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of people.
Speaker 2: They're making billions upon billions of dollars. It's obviously a
Speaker 2: profitable entity.
Speaker 1: Kal.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's moment in the sun has come
Speaker 2: and gone, like it's sort of in the process of
Speaker 2: being sunseted, primarily because it still tastes like crap. And
Speaker 2: I say that one hundred percent of the time. Social
Speaker 2: media you can apply in ways that makes sense to
Speaker 2: you personally, and it's not all bad.
Speaker 1: Kale always sucks. Yeah, but how many people eat kale
Speaker 1: as compared to how many people use social media and
Speaker 1: are burned by social media and whose lives are worse
Speaker 1: because of it. Do you ever see a group of
Speaker 1: like twelve year old somewhere just staring at their phones
Speaker 1: cyberbullying each other. It's the worst crap ever.
Speaker 2: At the risk of again being bullied, I'll go social media,
Speaker 2: send it through, I'll go social media.
Speaker 1: Okay, you have plenty of opportunities here bottom of this practice.
Speaker 1: I have some good ones. You're coming up. I have
Speaker 1: some good ones coming up. So I'm I'm not panicking yet.
Speaker 1: But you've won. You've won four in a row, now,
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, all right, Ty, I should have admitted this
Speaker 1: at the top. I am somebody that people like who
Speaker 1: is secret garbage, so I inherently have an advantage. People
Speaker 1: suggested you on our form. Did you see that? I
Speaker 1: know we got a couple, and I appreciate that. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's people are really thinking critically incorrectly.
Speaker 2: We should also point out that, as we alluded on
Speaker 2: our previous show, the solid verbal is the overall number
Speaker 2: one in.
Speaker 1: This secret garbage brat. Oh, it has to be. It
Speaker 1: has to be. All right, my number four, you're four
Speaker 1: against my five. My four is massage therapy. Dan, I'm
Speaker 1: going to take issue with this. You ever go for
Speaker 1: a massage? I have gotten massages. How what was that
Speaker 1: experience like for you? The last massage I got was
Speaker 1: of like a couple's spa thing that I got for
Speaker 1: the solid fiance for Valentine's eight birthday. I forget what.
Speaker 1: The celebration was at a nice place in New York.
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy it very much? I had some knots.
Speaker 1: I had some kinks. It was like like a steamy
Speaker 1: pooley area like where it was happening. And she did
Speaker 1: a wonderful job. She walked out I dropped trou I
Speaker 1: put a towel on and she hit what I needed ty.
Speaker 1: She oiled me up and I felt great. See.
Speaker 2: On one hand, there are obvious benefits to it, and
Speaker 2: it can be relaxing if you find a good massuse
Speaker 2: relieve some of that tension in your muscles. I get absolutely,
Speaker 2: But otherwise it feels a little bit like voodoo to me.
Speaker 2: I don't fully buy into it. It's it's comforting, it
Speaker 2: can be, but the overall experience around the massage is
Speaker 2: more what I find unnerving and secretly garbage. You know,
Speaker 2: you go in there, you gotta put the towel on,
Speaker 2: which isn't always the most comfortable of experiences. A lot
Speaker 2: of weird ambient noise, nature sounds, the rain sounds on
Speaker 2: like the rain sound generator in the corner. I don't
Speaker 2: hate it sometimes depending on the masseuse they give you
Speaker 2: sort of like weird commentariers. They're going through and feeling
Speaker 2: your muscles like I had a massage one time that
Speaker 2: I got as a gift, and I was creeped out
Speaker 2: because the woman doing the massage got to my neck
Speaker 2: and said, oh, it feels like there was a car
Speaker 2: crash up here. She wasn't wrong, but it creeped out
Speaker 2: a little bit. I feel like there is a creepy
Speaker 2: component to massage therapy for what you're paying and what
Speaker 2: you're getting and the unnerving components of it. I feel
Speaker 2: like this is a solid number four seed. A lot
Speaker 2: of people like it, A lot of people go to
Speaker 2: bat for it secretly, Secretly, I kind of think it's garbage.
Speaker 1: I've never done it again. I hear you what you're saying, Ty,
Speaker 1: I'm listening. I'm taking it in what I'm hearing subtext,
Speaker 1: you didn't get any HJS and you're a little bit bummed.
Speaker 1: That's not where I'm going with it. That's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1: That's not where I'm go I think with it. I
Speaker 1: think if you went up to a random person on
Speaker 1: the streets and pulled them and said, do you have
Speaker 1: a positive feeling? Do you have a positive connotation with
Speaker 1: getting a massage? I would say eight point five out
Speaker 1: of ten would say yes, Which does you sort of
Speaker 1: play into the secret garbage element. But I can't imagine
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that are avoiding massages
Speaker 1: because of towel uncomfort, discomfort.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you if you've done it, there is
Speaker 2: definitely a part of.
Speaker 1: It that is just weird. Did you do the full nude?
Speaker 1: I did not do that. No, And it was you've
Speaker 1: only had a female masseuse a sewer? Yeah? No, uh.
Speaker 1: Entourage situation with Ken in Vegas. But okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know what that reference is. But okay, there was the
Speaker 1: castanza moved one too, right, right, right right? Who is
Speaker 1: your five seed? My number five seed is voice activated technology?
Speaker 1: Oh you dog, you don't. We're talking about like the
Speaker 1: Amazon Echo, Google Home Siri. I think there are some
Speaker 1: like cable companies that have this built into their remote
Speaker 1: controls now like iTunes, Apple TV and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: using those devices, using regular devices, using your phone. I
Speaker 1: sort of get the SII thing a little bit. If
Speaker 1: you're you know, your hands are full and you're just
Speaker 1: like or you're like taking a nap in your phone
Speaker 1: the other side of the room. You say, hey, Syriah,
Speaker 1: wake me up in thirty minutes. That's cool. You'll get
Speaker 1: no argument from me. But the whole thing of like,
Speaker 1: hey Alexa, what's the web they're in Tampa today? Hey Google,
Speaker 1: what color are zebras black or white? Like that is
Speaker 1: such large garbage. It's lazy, it's dumb, and you look
Speaker 1: so bad doing it in your home. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why they insist on doing these.
Speaker 2: I disagree. I disagree. I've got the Echo Dot. Nobody
Speaker 2: really needs voice activated technology.
Speaker 1: Let's leave it at that. Nobody can trul People with
Speaker 1: remote controls use it, and they already have a device
Speaker 1: to start things in their hands. There are aspects of
Speaker 1: it that absolutely fall into that category. The Echo Dot
Speaker 1: was also, nor was the Google Home created as the
Speaker 1: end all be all. It's very good for a limited
Speaker 1: spectrum of tasks, right if you want the weather, if
Speaker 1: you want to set a timer while you're in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: if you want to add something to a shopping list.
Speaker 1: Nobody truly needs any of the technology. You don't need
Speaker 1: it to get by. It's absolutely a first world problem.
Speaker 1: But as long as it's applied in a very very
Speaker 1: small scope in your life, I feel like it can
Speaker 1: be very applicable and not trash ty. I'm going to
Speaker 1: use you as a specific example because voice activated technology
Speaker 1: barely edged out a related a tangential item. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's wearable technology. Wearable technology, yeah, which I think is
Speaker 1: arguably even worse I've got, but I don't think I
Speaker 1: don't think people like it as much. I've got an
Speaker 1: Echo Dot and an Apple Watch, so I am I
Speaker 1: am well qualified to speak to both of these. So
Speaker 1: within twelve feet of your person right now, twenty feet
Speaker 1: of your person, whatever it is, you have three devices
Speaker 1: that can tell you very basic things. Right. It's like,
Speaker 1: if you want to know how what the temperature is,
Speaker 1: you can take out your phone. You can play with
Speaker 1: your wrist. I sing that and not sounding weird. Or
Speaker 1: you can yell at a machine that might be listening
Speaker 1: to all of this and getting insulted and reporting back
Speaker 1: to Yeah, definitely, it all seems like it's just a
Speaker 1: giant waste, paying one hundred and fifty dollars for it.
Speaker 1: I've got my Echo Dot hooked up to my lights.
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank god, you don't have to turn off
Speaker 1: your lights.
Speaker 2: I could turn off I can walk upstairs after I
Speaker 2: fall asleep in the couch, I could yell into my
Speaker 2: Echo Dot to turn off the lights downstairs, and it'll
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Tyr, your muscles are gonna atrophy. This isn't like Wally.
Speaker 2: I'm not at the point where I mean the rocket
Speaker 2: ship and getting old and fat. All right, I'm just
Speaker 2: saying that there are some use cases for voice activated
Speaker 2: technology that make it not trash.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could just pick up your phone like
Speaker 1: and burn an eighth of a calorie calling the steakhouse
Speaker 1: to order bottle service. Just do that. I think the
Speaker 1: problem is you're just an old man. It's oh, it's
Speaker 1: entirely possible.
Speaker 2: Massage therapy against voice acting technology, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think. I think honestly, when I've seen I've been
Speaker 1: in apartments, I've been in houses where people have used
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I don't think it serves a purpose
Speaker 1: other than trying to impress people.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to impress anybody with it. I bought
Speaker 2: the Echo Dot for my entire family for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Do they use it? Yeah? Mom aide, she streams music
Speaker 1: on it. It's her best friend. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's listening, Tie, it's listening. It
Speaker 1: is listening.
Speaker 2: I like voice activated technology. I think it's better in
Speaker 2: this matchup. I think it's better in this capacity than
Speaker 2: massage therapy. I think the matchups are making your favor here.
Speaker 1: Make it five. I'm putting it through. I can't think
Speaker 1: I would be shocked. I swear I would be shocked
Speaker 1: if somebody tweeted us or emailed us. And I've been like,
Speaker 1: I'm totally with tie On massages. I want my Kinks,
Speaker 1: I want my us. They're my business that brings to
Speaker 1: the South region. Here, we're going way over time today.
Speaker 1: Apologians my number two seed. I'm trying to trying to
Speaker 1: break up this run that you've got going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel very good about my My next two picks here.
Speaker 2: My number two seed is the movie Avatar. Okay, have
Speaker 2: you seen the movie Avatar?
Speaker 1: Dan? Yeah, side in theaters and three D in Gilroy,
Speaker 1: California with West Coast Kevin.
Speaker 2: Avatar, according to box Office Mojo, made two point seven
Speaker 2: billion worldwide.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: The solid wife tells me they're making four more of them. Okay,
Speaker 2: it can be five Avatars, provided James Cameron doesn't die
Speaker 2: before they make all five. Because it's taken forever. Why
Speaker 2: do you want to go see any of them? Is
Speaker 2: my question? Why does anyone want to go see Avatar
Speaker 2: in the first place? What compelling pl point, storyline, anything,
Speaker 2: What makes you want to go see Avatar?
Speaker 1: Outside of the special effects. I don't know, just because
Speaker 1: everybody else was saying it. It was making a bunch of
Speaker 1: money and just sort of that's what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: gain momentum, That's what I'm talking about. So people raved
Speaker 1: about Avatar. Oh you got to see Avatar? Why? I
Speaker 1: ask why?
Speaker 2: If you're going to see a movie solely because of
Speaker 2: special effects, there's no real difference between Avatar and Transformers.
Speaker 1: Very secretly garbage your move. Okay, well, shout out for
Speaker 1: an eight year old movie. It's been a while. I
Speaker 1: don't don't any mean my Avatar now, don't demean my picks.
Speaker 1: That's a good selection. I don't. But do people like
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, are we like at least with the
Speaker 1: Night of people are like into it at the moment?
Speaker 1: Are people into Avatar? Now? Like? Do you think this
Speaker 1: has withstood the test of time? And I know you're
Speaker 1: gonna say no, but I'm gonna say withstood the test time?
Speaker 1: And in terms of a conversation piece, it's still coming
Speaker 1: up in like popular culture. You could throw a rock
Speaker 1: and hit a story about Avatar too. How many people
Speaker 1: in your office could name a character from Avatar? That's
Speaker 1: kind of the point. That's kind of. Well, the point is,
Speaker 1: thank you, you got this point. I think it's more
Speaker 1: forgettable garbage. That's something that people like than well, I
Speaker 1: don't think people like it present tense.
Speaker 2: I think people were entertained by it. They were entertained
Speaker 2: by it, and it obviously is still a relevant talking point.
Speaker 2: It made almost three billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't I don't think that. Can you
Speaker 1: name a character from Avatar? I can't. I can't. So
Speaker 1: it's not it's not something that is you cannot sort
Speaker 1: of recall. That's that's correct. Yeah, okay, so it's not
Speaker 1: something that is on the tip of everybody's tongues. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like I feel like it's out and now garbage, secret, garbage.
Speaker 2: Avatar is my select There was no there was no
Speaker 2: time component to these selections, whether or not I'm culturally
Speaker 2: relevant in twenty seventeen, Avatar is my number two seat.
Speaker 1: Who is your number seven? Man? I'm feeling six in
Speaker 1: a row here because I'm going Chipotle here? Nah, I
Speaker 1: like Chipotle. I'm going Chipotle. What's wrong Chipot It's salty,
Speaker 1: it's huge, it's a long wait generally, and also you
Speaker 1: might get violent diarrhea that's once in a blue moon.
Speaker 1: Is that okay? I mean it's Mexican food, Mexican. I
Speaker 1: was just in Mexico City. I've always felt worse after
Speaker 1: eating Chipotle than I did after eating anything in Mexico City.
Speaker 2: The problem with this is that you're biased. You're biased
Speaker 2: towards better.
Speaker 1: No. But I like Chipotle. No. I like Chipotle competitors.
Speaker 1: I like places that are charging nine ten bucks for
Speaker 1: burrito that are chains. I just don't. I think Chipotle
Speaker 1: is garbage.
Speaker 2: We did get some submissions for Chipotle, yeah, Avatar. Well,
Speaker 2: and it's just the idea.
Speaker 1: So Chippotle has fallen into the category of people think
Speaker 1: and all credit because they talked about it last week
Speaker 1: on the Shutdown full cast. People think they're sort of
Speaker 1: eating healthy, not because if they're eating a burrito, but
Speaker 1: if they're eating like a brito bowl or they're having
Speaker 1: a salad, right, that's just covered in rice, the oatmeal
Speaker 1: cookie scenario, right, and it's good for you, right exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what Chipotle is. Where people feel like it's like
Speaker 1: they're eating fresh, they're eating responsibly, a responsible burrito. We
Speaker 1: soorce from this farm. Whatever you're not Okay, it's to
Speaker 1: have that gut bomb in the middle of the day.
Speaker 1: Just it's again, it goes back to my day ruining.
Speaker 2: But you can ruin your day eating all sorts of food, Dan,
Speaker 2: It's not just Chipotle.
Speaker 1: You can, but I think Chipotle specifically, like there's a
Speaker 1: certain instinct you have when you're handed a burrito to
Speaker 1: eat the whole burrito, and I'm I'm a dumb, dumb
Speaker 1: and I will do it, and I regret it every time,
Speaker 1: so I don't do it anymore. I think Chipotle is
Speaker 1: I think I think Chipotle more accurately represents this game
Speaker 1: than Avatar. I'm gonna go Avatar. Wow, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see it, TI, I don't say it. I'm not
Speaker 1: budgeting on this one.
Speaker 2: Dan, either either meet me where I'm standing or you
Speaker 2: get off this podcast.
Speaker 1: But if nobody can name a character an Avatar, that's
Speaker 1: kind of a point. It made two point seven billion
Speaker 1: dollars worldwide, and neither one of us can name a character.
Speaker 1: But the Secret Garbage Game is something that somebody that
Speaker 1: people like present tense.
Speaker 2: People did like it. They did like, well, that's not
Speaker 2: the presence. It made almost three billion dollars, so people
Speaker 2: must have liked it to some extent.
Speaker 1: I think your secret garbage because out in our garbage,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna say. I'm writing Avatar down here.
Speaker 1: I don't care. You're just avoiding the al tie. I'm
Speaker 1: writing Avatar. I think it's a stronger selection. Okay, Chipotle
Speaker 1: isn't wrong. I'm just saying I think I'm closer to
Speaker 1: the spirit of this game that I made up. Okay, finally,
Speaker 1: who is your three Sea catchup? Okay? Ketchup quite simply
Speaker 1: is squiggly red sugar paste for children that was invented
Speaker 1: so five year olds would eat hamburgers and get some
Speaker 1: protein in their diets, and people eat them as grownups,
Speaker 1: and it's gross. If you like ketchup, just eat barbecue sauce.
Speaker 1: It's ketchup with like human seasoning. That sounded weird now
Speaker 1: that I hear myself say it seasoning that grown up
Speaker 1: should enjoy, maybe some pepper, maybe some garlic, maybe some worcestershire,
Speaker 1: some molasses.
Speaker 2: So what I think I'm hearing is that good barbecue
Speaker 2: sauce requires ketchup. It wouldn't be possible without the ketchup.
Speaker 1: Oh, most most barbecue sauce either has a vinegar or
Speaker 1: a tomato bas so. Yes, it is. It is quite similar.
Speaker 1: But if you're going to eat ketchup, eat barbecue sauce
Speaker 1: for something, for the much better version that's still a
Speaker 1: little similar ketchup by itself, you're just dipping fries and
Speaker 1: red sugar paste. See, you just don't like ketchup. No,
Speaker 1: because I am. I'm open to ketchup. I like American cheese,
Speaker 1: so I'm not against things that are sort of mass
Speaker 1: produced and cheap and sort of related to fast food.
Speaker 1: I think ketchup is just flavorless. I've always been a
Speaker 1: ketchup fin. I put it on almost everything. I put
Speaker 1: it on my cheeseburgers and my French fries. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 1: put it next to my omelet. When I was eight,
Speaker 1: I used to put yeah, yeah, god ty. It is
Speaker 1: the primary ingredient in a lot of really good bar
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sort of serve my point to some degree?
Speaker 1: For children?
Speaker 2: But it's very versatile. You can call it squiggly sugar
Speaker 2: paste if you want. It's very versatile just because it's
Speaker 2: an ingredient in barbecue sauce. As I make it good
Speaker 2: alone it doesn't make it good, but it makes barbecue
Speaker 2: sauce nearly impossible without it.
Speaker 1: But it's a children's treat, all right. My number six
Speaker 1: is camping. Do you ever go camping? Dan? I have
Speaker 1: been camping multiple times, many times? What was that like
Speaker 1: for you? Mix? It's mixed tie, sometimes good, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: not the greatest. I don't like it. I like roofs,
Speaker 1: I like running water, but I enjoy the camping, the
Speaker 1: sort of camaraderie, sort of sitting around a campfire and drinking.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like the idea of like not
Speaker 1: being on my phone, getting good night's sleep, maybe being
Speaker 1: near a lake.
Speaker 2: I just don't get it, you know, Like I've I've
Speaker 2: never professed to being outdoorsy. I don't necessarily live in
Speaker 2: the city, but I definitely relate more to a city
Speaker 2: than I do America.
Speaker 1: This is, by the way, the yankeest show we've ever done.
Speaker 1: That's right, thank you.
Speaker 2: I love a good hike through nature, and I have
Speaker 2: gone camping multiple times. I don't get it. It doesn't
Speaker 2: do it for me. What do you get out of
Speaker 2: camping outside of like smoke inhalation from the campfire and
Speaker 2: perhaps a tick or two and a little bit of camaraderie.
Speaker 2: I just don't I don't get it. You're never comfortable
Speaker 2: when you sleep, more often than not, you're cold.
Speaker 1: What's the point, Well, you get away from it all, Tie,
Speaker 1: I think that's the point. You sort of reboot. But
Speaker 1: can't you reboot somewhere else where you can get a
Speaker 1: good night. You can't reboot in like the backyard of
Speaker 1: a bar. No, because you're still checking your phone. You're
Speaker 1: checking Instagram, you're checking scores, you're half paying attention, you're
Speaker 1: hearing other people. Get the sounds of nature, Tie, you
Speaker 1: see some stars, you hears some running water, allergies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good stuff, good stuff. Yeah, that's a good reminder. I
Speaker 1: will not be camping with the solid fiance.
Speaker 2: So here we are, final final matchup. Here, I feel
Speaker 2: like I need to get another one on the scoreboard here.
Speaker 2: Ketchup against camping is a difficult matchup.
Speaker 1: Do you think more people like or dislike camping than Ketchup?
Speaker 1: I think many more people like ketchup have a positive
Speaker 1: opinion of Ketchup than they do of camping, which is
Speaker 1: why I almost think mine fits better. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just sort of split fifty to fifty either
Speaker 1: like camping or you don't. I'll give you ketchup. I'll
Speaker 1: give you ketchup. Damn. All right, So now we got
Speaker 1: to go back to the top here. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: to go back to the top. We spent an hour
Speaker 1: talking about those nonsense. Yeah, the NFL against steakhouses. I'd
Speaker 1: probably the NFL. It's got to be the NFL. Right,
Speaker 1: steakhouses our garbage, But the NFL.
Speaker 2: The NFL is my eight hundred pound gorilla last Vegas
Speaker 2: against New Year's Eve?
Speaker 1: What is more popular and more garbage? E I would
Speaker 1: say it's got to be Vegas. I think it's Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL against Vegas is going to be an
Speaker 2: interesting Raiders esque matchup here, But we'll get to that momentarily.
Speaker 2: Social media against voice activated technology.
Speaker 1: Social media, I think it's again. I think if we
Speaker 1: are going with the construct of what is more popular
Speaker 1: and to a higher degree of garbage, at the same time,
Speaker 1: I think it's social media. Avatar against Ketchup. You're going
Speaker 1: to argue hard for Ketchup, and I'm gonna argue hard
Speaker 1: for Avatar. Again, Avatar has does not in the present tense,
Speaker 1: have a place in polite society, an American society, and
Speaker 1: international society. It does not exist. Avatar is cinematic snapchat.
Speaker 2: Avatar is going to be coming out here again. It's
Speaker 2: a successful movie franchise.
Speaker 1: I'll bet you it makes under a billion dollars. That's
Speaker 1: going way over would be over under a billion domestically, domestically, domestically.
Speaker 1: You might be right. Domestically.
Speaker 2: You might have been right about it the first time too.
Speaker 2: Movies generally do like sixty percent of their revenue from overseas.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll say it's international under one point five no chance,
Speaker 1: no chance, absolutely absolutely. If someone's keeping track of this,
Speaker 1: I don't. We probably won't still be on the air
Speaker 1: in twenty thirty eight when they finally release the Avatar.
Speaker 1: But Avatar is It's completely ephemeral. It does not exist
Speaker 1: in the consciousness of anybody in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: I feel like it will in very short order. I
Speaker 2: still feel like it is a really solid answer.
Speaker 1: But under the construct of what is more popular is
Speaker 1: what is more popular and has a higher degree of
Speaker 1: trashiness as a film, Avatar is. It's okay, it's nothing special.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't just because I'm not anti Ketchup.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to know you're not. But
Speaker 1: Avatar doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: This is basically a matchup of two things that we
Speaker 2: don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. But you couldn't name a single
Speaker 1: character an avatar.
Speaker 2: That's kind of my point, secretly trash despite the two
Speaker 2: point seven billion dollars.
Speaker 1: If the game is something people like, it doesn't fit
Speaker 1: under that because you can't name a character, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, the lead character is Jake Sully. All right,
Speaker 1: take your ketchup, just take it. I'm taking my ketch
Speaker 1: I could.
Speaker 2: Keep fighting it, folks, I could keep fighting it, but
Speaker 2: he won't go away. And I don't want this to
Speaker 2: be a two hour show.
Speaker 1: I'm relentless. I believe in what I believe. I let's
Speaker 1: stick with it.
Speaker 2: Then Final four, West Region against South Regions, social Media
Speaker 2: against Ketchup.
Speaker 1: Social media. I think it's got to be social media.
Speaker 1: It's social media. Yeah. And then in the other final
Speaker 1: four pairing, we've got the NFL against Las Vegas. Okay,
Speaker 1: once again something a ton of people like that is
Speaker 1: a higher degree of garbage. It's probably the NFL. I
Speaker 1: would agree with you, because I don't think I think
Speaker 1: people just sort of have a concept of Vegas and like, hey,
Speaker 1: what happens in Vegas days? But I think the NFL
Speaker 1: is Well, here's the thing, though, at the same time,
Speaker 1: what is the better part of the NFL and the
Speaker 1: better part of Vegas that we all like? The better
Speaker 1: part of the NFL is talented football players and fun
Speaker 1: football games. The better part of Vegas is what exactly
Speaker 1: uh like? I feel like there's more positivity with the
Speaker 1: NFL than there is in Vegas.
Speaker 2: The NFL, though, is to use your argument against Avatar,
Speaker 2: the NFL is way more mainstream for most people. It's
Speaker 2: on on a Sunday. It's virtually unavoidable. If you don't
Speaker 2: want to go to Vegas, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying the garbage quality of the NFL
Speaker 1: is it more expansive than the garbage quality of Vegas.
Speaker 2: If you want to consider other factors of the NFL
Speaker 2: besides just you know what you see on.
Speaker 1: TV, if you want to experience, yeah.
Speaker 2: Not just the experience, but the way the league is run,
Speaker 2: the way the league has been crafted over the last
Speaker 2: decade or so, it paints a far more ominous picture
Speaker 2: than what you just might see watching on a Sunday.
Speaker 2: So I think there's more than meets the eye here
Speaker 2: to make it even more secretly garbage.
Speaker 1: But like that's all out in the open. People still
Speaker 1: love Vegas. We're a football show, so we should probably
Speaker 1: go NFL here. Then we're saying, Okay, the football entity
Speaker 1: is garbage. I'm saying the NFL, all right, So then
Speaker 1: the NFL against social media? Wow, huh. I'm definitely saying
Speaker 1: social media. Give me your pitch for social media. I
Speaker 1: think the garbage of social media has more wide ranging
Speaker 1: negative effects than the NFL. The people that the NFL
Speaker 1: negatively affects is far smaller in scope than social media.
Speaker 1: This is very difficult and seriousness. This is extremely difficult.
Speaker 1: By the way, I just had seriousness and my phone
Speaker 1: started asking me what I wanted because it sounded like
Speaker 1: me saying Siri, nah right, voice activation back into the championship.
Speaker 2: This is what we like to call a good old
Speaker 2: fashioned shootout, Dan, I think we uh. I think we
Speaker 2: can conclude here.
Speaker 1: Social media there it is. It really is garbage. That
Speaker 1: was painful. I feel like it brought us closer. I
Speaker 1: don't that was awful.
Speaker 2: You're a hardheaded, sob Man, Absolutely I am. I'm much
Speaker 2: more appliable with my arguments. Well see, okay, here's much
Speaker 2: more open minded than you are. Oh that's probably true.
Speaker 2: But like I have the submissions in front of me,
Speaker 2: and so like I think if you had gone with
Speaker 2: any number of these things, you would have had a
Speaker 2: much stronger case all over the place. If you had
Speaker 2: gone with Drake, I think you would have had a
Speaker 2: really good case against a lot of my entrance. By
Speaker 2: the way, you had Beyonce in your original list, which
Speaker 2: is madness.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Beyonce, by the way, was a multiple time submission through
Speaker 2: our form as well. That's true. It was to call
Speaker 2: it secret guard. To call Beyonce's secret garbage is a
Speaker 2: bridge too far. Beyonce is, It's madness, immensely talented. She's
Speaker 2: a fantastic artist, a great story. There is so much
Speaker 2: about Beyonce that is amazing. Where I guess I relate
Speaker 2: to this is that Beyonce's music for me is not
Speaker 2: quite the religious expence it seems to be for it.
Speaker 1: That's fine. A lot of the mainstream Beyonce fans out there,
Speaker 1: her recent stuff hasn't been my favorite, but that's Okay.
Speaker 2: It's not even a critique of the music, but just
Speaker 2: in general, I've never connected with Beyonce's music in the
Speaker 2: way that a lot of other people have. I don't
Speaker 2: feel the need to worship the product that she's putting
Speaker 2: forth in a similar capacity, so that that's the only
Speaker 2: reason why I would consider it. But that was that
Speaker 2: was a little too much for me, So I can't
Speaker 2: do that, right.
Speaker 1: I liked this submission a lot binge watching TV. I
Speaker 1: think that's a really good submission. No, I'm a fan.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. I don't know. I do it and
Speaker 1: I like it, but at the same time, I feel
Speaker 1: kind of garbage you doing it. IPAs. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great IPAs is a good one. If you had
Speaker 1: gone times square, you would have probably beaten everything I
Speaker 1: put on the table other than catch other than excuse
Speaker 1: me social media. I was shocked you didn't.
Speaker 2: The solid wife wanted me to use Boba Fett from
Speaker 2: Star Wars, again very esoteric but not entire.
Speaker 1: Which she doesn't like. Boba Fett.
Speaker 2: Boba Fett the character with the Jim backpack and start
Speaker 2: what does Boba Fett do?
Speaker 1: Does Boba Fett talk?
Speaker 2: Boba FET's gonna get its own spin off in like
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. What does Boba Fett even do in
Speaker 2: Star Wars?
Speaker 1: Isn't Boba Fett a bounty hunter? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But so what Boba Fett's done? Nothing interesting? Why is
Speaker 2: why is Boba Fett getting a movie?
Speaker 1: Oh, Boba Fette was in wasn't Boba and Empire strikes back?
Speaker 1: Boba Fett's been in a bunch of the movies. But
Speaker 1: that's just it. He's just been in the movies. He
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything of real consequence. Okay, We've got diet soda,
Speaker 1: which I think is pretty good, So that is a
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, we got a few more IPAs, we
Speaker 1: got spring football, we got Emo, Saint Patrick's Day, a
Speaker 1: couple of avocados, which is just insane. Somebody we were
Speaker 1: going to play around with cake. We've talked about cake
Speaker 1: before already. I feel like that would not have been
Speaker 1: new territory. Uh, Shark Week. I did like Shark Week.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with Shark Week, but Shark Week is
Speaker 1: exactly the kind of answer we're looking for. Like, yes,
Speaker 1: in Stark contrast to coffee, which people sent in and
Speaker 1: many people rely on, I don't fully disagree that coffee
Speaker 1: is secretly garbage. However, it is very mainstream and something
Speaker 1: that many folks rely on to get jump started in
Speaker 1: the morning. Coffee might not be my favorite drink, but
Speaker 1: it's it's very much required for a lot of folks.
Speaker 1: Shark Week is so just sort of specialized and chinsey
Speaker 1: and kind of goofy that to throw it on this list,
Speaker 1: as I feel like, is exactly what we were looking for.
Speaker 1: So I like the idea of having a Shark Week.
Speaker 1: I like documentary shows about sharks. I think what they
Speaker 1: actually produce is not that good. It's not that interesting,
Speaker 1: and it's it doesn't hold my attention. Some of their
Speaker 1: Megalodon content was straight up made up? Was it true? Yes?
Speaker 1: Right again?
Speaker 2: These a lot of these things could be items that
Speaker 2: we genuinely enjoy.
Speaker 1: I like Ketchup. You like Chipotle on some level, right?
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, I don't think I do. No, I
Speaker 1: don't think I do. What on your list do you
Speaker 1: actually like? Because there are things on mine that I like.
Speaker 1: There are times that I've used voice activated technology and
Speaker 1: it's been good. You like social on the social media, oh,
Speaker 1: and like I will eat well at a steakhouse. I
Speaker 1: just think the experience is secretly garbage. And if it's
Speaker 1: like at a tailgate or something, I will day drink.
Speaker 1: Sure it goes really good with tailgating food. Here is
Speaker 1: my last entry out, my last team out of like
Speaker 1: the bubble team that didn't make it. In holiday specific candy,
Speaker 1: So we're talking Valentine's Day chocolates, Easter, the peeps and
Speaker 1: the cadberry eggs, The chocolate rabbits are fine. I don't
Speaker 1: celebrate Easter, so it's not all that relevant to me.
Speaker 1: Candy corn at Halloween, peppermint crap, Christmas time, holidays around then,
Speaker 1: I think it's all garbage. Just eat regular, good sweet dessert. Candy.
Speaker 1: Corn is garbage, I'll give you that. I'm not a
Speaker 1: Do you like peeps? Peeps are actually made, are made
Speaker 1: here in the good oldly have Alley listen, and I
Speaker 1: hope they employ a ton of people. I hope. I'm
Speaker 1: glad it's a successful industry there, but it is a
Speaker 1: garbage product.
Speaker 2: Have you ever eaten stale peeps? That's the way you
Speaker 2: gotta eat. You gotta eat stale. I don't need fresh,
Speaker 2: I don't eat melted. I don't eat frozen. I think
Speaker 2: they're they're gross all over them.
Speaker 1: I'm buying you a pack of peeps. I'm sending them
Speaker 1: up to New York. T do better.
Speaker 2: Remove, let them out in the open, let them get
Speaker 2: some air, breathe for a couple of days than trying now,
Speaker 2: different experience.
Speaker 1: Can't do it. I can't do it. Different experience. That's
Speaker 1: all I got, Ty. We'll talk about my bachelor party
Speaker 1: next time.
Speaker 2: This was a revealing episode. Undoubtedly the reviews here are
Speaker 2: going to be that you bullied me again. That's fine,
Speaker 2: and I'm not I'm not happy about that, Ty. You
Speaker 2: took so much crap for the Reess.
Speaker 1: I took a lot of crap for the Ree's pieces.
Speaker 2: I was complete pieces with buttercups or buttercups. Excuse me
Speaker 2: for mixing up Reese's pieces with what do they call cops,
Speaker 2: peanut butter cops, peanut butter cups. Yeah, yeah, I took
Speaker 2: a lot for that. I'm okay with individually wrapped pieces.
Speaker 2: I've never said I don't think anything we've done. We've
Speaker 2: gotten the reaction that you've got now, and good for
Speaker 2: you for standing in there and taking the sack.
Speaker 1: Gotta take it. Like a man taking the hit. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you had the power to edit that whole thing
Speaker 1: out now I didn't. I did good for you.
Speaker 2: I probably won't edit most of this out either. This
Speaker 2: is all staying in in state like a dead pope.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The show itself was secretly.
Speaker 2: Garbage, all right, but we appreciate, We appreciate everyone's submissions here.
Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed the show along with us. Tell
