53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,400

120
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: Athletic from the Andy Staples Show, mister Andy Staples himself, Sir,

121

124
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy, this re alignment stuff is uh, it

125
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: just never stops and it kind of makes its own

126
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: gravy over and over and over again, especially until something

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: happens again. Because I had kind of gotten comfortable. I

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: guess after Texas at Oklahoma figured you had the conference

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: USA sun Belt ramifications of that got down the chain

130
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 4: and you know, JM using the sun belt. Okay, now

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: we know what it thinks are gonna look like for

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: a little while and then come boom USC and UCLA.

133
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: You are the Big ten. And at that point, like,

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: I can't see the endpoint of this because I don't

135
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: know exactly what the next move.

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: Is, right why I want to get into that, But

158
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: Because I guess the tweet.

159
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: Wildner had dropped the tweet with with about three minutes

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: to go in the podcast.

161
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yeah, it's it's wild So you're you're seeing

162
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: the news. Uh, what is your look? I don't I

163
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: don't actually want to go back in time and ask

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you what your initial reaction doesn't matter, there's already been

165
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: so much since then. What is your current state of

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: mind with regard to where the sports stands in this moment?

167
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Like who are the winners? Who are the losers? Is

168
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: it a good thing? Is it not a great thing?

169
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Like it's very easy to say this is what's going on,

170
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: and this is why it's going on, but then take

171
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: it another step forward and say here's how I feel.

172
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: Well, if if you're in the big ten in the SEC,

173
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: you've won. And if you're not in the big ten

174
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: in the SEC and you're not Notre Dame, I don't

175
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: know if you've lost, but things aren't looking real good right,

176
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: and you've got to figure out something that you can

177
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: do that will make you valuable. Because like the Big Ten,

178
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: the Big twelve and the PAC twelve, both leagues are

179
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: to do new TV deals. Something needs to happen there.

180
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what, whether it's a merger, whether it's

181
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: one raid the other vice versa, but something needs to

182
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 4: happen to create a strong number three kind of league,

183
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: and the ACC I say number three for the other

184
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: one because I do think because of the money's just

185
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: gone up in general, if you get the strongest of

186
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 4: the Big twelve and the PAC twelve together, that's a

187
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: strong that's a league. It's gonna make more money than

188
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: the ACC. And the AEC schools are just gonna sitting

189
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: there going what do we do? Because they're stuck. They're

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: stuck because that grant rights, and I do think they're

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: going to try to get out of it because they're

192
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: staring down the barrel of fourteen years of this. If

193
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: you're Clemson, if you're Florida State, if you're North Carolina,

194
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: if you're Miami, you're looking at that going we could

195
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: be in a much much better run league than this,

196
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 4: and we just need to figure out how to do it.

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: So that's where all of them are. Is it good

198
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: for the sport?

199
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: Probably not.

200
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: Is there a way that it can be, I don't know,

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: good for the sport, but good for us the viewer. Yes,

202
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: I think there's a way that it can be because

203
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: what the SEC and the Big Ten are creating are

204
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: a bunch of blockbuster matchups. As Gentry, I was going

205
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: through for my mailbag that runs on Thursday at the

206
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: Athletic somebody asked me to predict what game College Game

207
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: Day will hit each week, and so I'm going through

208
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 4: the schedule the other day. You know what, there's a

209
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: lot of weeks where there's like one good game, two

210
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: good games that you're super excited about. That's not gonna

211
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: be the case once this all comes together, Like every

212
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 4: week's gonna have three or four games that you're like, WHOA,

213
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 4: that sounds pretty awesome. So that part will be good.

214
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: But I do worry about them chasing off a lot

215
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 4: of fans by just saying your school's irrelevant, you don't matter.

216
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: And I think there's a way that they can not

217
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: do that, but they have to. They have to not

218
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: be greedy up front and understand that it could make

219
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 4: the more money in the long run on the postseason

220
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 4: by including everybody. Still find a way to include everybody.

221
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean automatic bids for every single conference champion. It

222
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: doesn't mean anything like that, but have some automatic bids

223
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: for conference champions. Have a path into the playoff for

224
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: whatever that third league is, whatever that fourth league is,

225
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: and even on down into the into the Sun Belt,

226
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 4: into the Conference USA. Have a path into the playoff.

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Don't say, oh, it's going to dilute the play it's not.

228
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: It's going to make everyone more interested for the entire season.

229
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: And so that I hope they think about because if

230
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: they want, let's say, Kevin Warren and Greg Sank you

231
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: wanted to, they could just say, we're the only people

232
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: that matter. So the postseason will be between the Big

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 4: Ten and the SEC, and that's going to be that

234
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: well that that's not gonna be fun for anybody else,

235
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: and that's not gonna make anybody else want to watch

236
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: your games during the regular season. So if you'd like

237
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: to keep Michigan Ohio State interesting to everybody and Iron

238
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: Bowl interesting to everybody, then have a path for Oklahoma

239
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: State or TCU or Oregon State or Washington State to

240
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: at least think at the beginning of the season, if

241
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: I have a great year, I have a chance to

242
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 4: play in the playoff.

243
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: Were there calculations made and probably less so by the

244
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: SEC because in terms of Texas, Oklahoma and the brands

245
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: that they bring in, the fan base that have to bring,

246
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: it's a different I think it's a different conversation than

247
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: what USC and UCLA bring in terms of national interest.

248
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: But maybe that's me.

249
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: I don't know.

250
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm an Oregon fan and having very conflicting emotions. Do

251
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: you think there was a certain calculation by the Big

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: ten or the SEC that says we're going to turn

253
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: off some people by doing things like that. We are

254
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: doing things we are leading this new charge for the

255
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: sport that's going to turn off some people, but this

256
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: is what's needed for long term survival, Like, is it

257
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: almost an avoidance of Look, crowds are down, playoff numbers

258
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: are down. There's a certain like people can watch whatever

259
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: they want on any streaming platform and they don't have

260
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: to watch football if they can only watch their team,

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: and they're not, you know, super engaged by the fact

262
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin is gonna be playing UCLA or something like that.

263
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: We saw UCLA's budget issues. Usc has had its own issues.

264
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Is there something about this kind of bundle being the

265
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: only viable future for medium to long term success for

266
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: the sport.

267
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a survival thing.

268
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: I think they could have made money, made quite a

269
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: bit of money because live sports will continue to be

270
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 4: incredibly valuable in this environment because it's the only thing

271
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: people watch commercials daring yep, and it's the only It

272
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: is a lever to get people to subscribe to things,

273
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: which in the streaming world still matters, especially like Netflix

274
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: is hit the subscriber wall. So apparently just putting more

275
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: entertainment options in front of people is not necessarily going

276
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: to make them spend their money. The thought is they

277
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 4: can't live without certain teams. That's that's what's going to

278
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: make them do it. So you could have done that,

279
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: but this is a way for a few of them

280
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: to make a lot more. It's much more similar to

281
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: the Premier League forming in England in the in the

282
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: early nineties.

283
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Right, Is this anti competitive? Is there something about this

284
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: where you can say, again, and I'm coming from a

285
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: biased point of view as an Oregon fan, a major

286
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: program that is at the moment on the outside looking

287
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: in to these major conferences, is there a question in

288
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: your mind that or a little voice in your mind

289
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: that says.

290
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: Why win?

291
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Why win? If Rutgers and Maryland and USC and UCLA

292
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: can mismanage their athletic departments and not win on any

293
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: sort of interesting level for a long long time, but

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: because of where they're located, oh, we can get a

295
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: a premium bump for a hometown rate for the Big

296
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: ten network, and we are a valuable bundle to this

297
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: TV product. Why win?

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: Because if you're in Eugene, organ and you don't win,

299
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: no one will.

300
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Know who you are. Of course, that's why, that's why.

301
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: But Eugene, Oregon has been home to a winning team,

302
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: and the Portland market, the Seattle market, Washington made the playoff,

303
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: Oregon made the playoff.

304
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: I don't understand why the Big didn't didn't take them

305
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: with USC and UCLA because.

306
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: The probably brings down that many teams probably brings down

307
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I do.

308
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, Okay, I I really don't know if

309
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: it does, and especially if you if you throw a

310
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: notre dame into the mix, which I think eventually you're

311
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: probably going to. So I like, that's the part I

312
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: don't understand. And so I want to ask you, Dan, Sure,

313
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: as an organ person, who would you rather cast your

314
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: lot with right now? The remaining nine members of the

315
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: soon to be packed ten. Let's say the Big ten

316
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: is not an option right now?

317
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Sure?

318
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: Do you want to stay with the group you're with

319
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: and then try to get somebody else?

320
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Right? Do you want to say, Hey, Washington, Colorado, Utah,

321
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: you guys want to go join up with Oklahoma State

322
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: and TCU and u c F and b YU. What

323
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: would you rather see them do? So I have sort

324
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: of a romantic dream scenario that you can absolutely shoot

325
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: down for whatever reason. So Oregon likes to tout itself

326
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: as like our tradition is that we don't have tradition,

327
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: right that like innovation and doing things our way in

328
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: a new way is the Oregon tradition, which I think

329
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: is great and a big twelve very sort of them,

330
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: sort of big twelve of them. They lose their coach

331
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: every four years. That's just the reality of being an

332
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Oregon fan. And usually it doesn't work out for those

333
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: coaches once they leave Oregon. But my perfect storm would

334
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: be Oregon going like in a weird semi independent like

335
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: to bundle with three or four other teams and just

336
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: make deals with various conferences, and I'll la cart it

337
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: to some sort of interesting and you have to bundle

338
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: with some big teams. You know, you'd have to go

339
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: to Oregon over the top is what we're talking about.

340
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: It's OTC, organ Is Hulu. Yes, And so Oregon goes

341
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame, Washington and Stanford or something like that,

342
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: big markets, big brands, and says, why don't we make

343
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: deals with the Big twelve, the ACC and the Big ten,

344
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: And why don't we go to Apple? Why don't we

345
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: go to YouTube TV? Why don't we go to all

346
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: of these places and ask for fifteen million dollars from

347
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: each of them? Now, Notre Dame can go bigger than that. Obviously.

348
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame maybe is going to you know, build its

349
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: own side deals outside of side deals. But to me,

350
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: as an Oregon fan, I want Oregon to beat up

351
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: on West Coast teams. I want them to beat the

352
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: brains out of USC every year and Washington out of that,

353
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, I want I want that because it's familiar

354
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's what college football is to me as somebody

355
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: from southern California. So that would be my dream scenario

356
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: in which Oregon could play a few West Coast teams

357
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: and then play one year they played North Carolina and

358
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: Clemson and Boston College and you know, Wisconsin and Purdue

359
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: and so there's they become they sort of lean into

360
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: that national brand thing without being just another team in

361
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: the Big twelve or some sort of mega pack.

362
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: They're scheduling essentially, they're creating a mini conference, yeah, and

363
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 4: then scheduling home and homes against their old conference foes. Yep,

364
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 4: that's the zag. But I would have to be their

365
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 4: old conference foes. It could be San Diego State, it

366
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: could be Yeah, I got you.

367
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: I kind of like that. I like that, and I

368
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: think Oregon and.

369
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Washington could pull that off, right who I think would

370
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: love to join them in something like that. Who's thats

371
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: and Florida State exactly? Yeah, So I think that's the zag.

372
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: That's the zag that you have to sort of get

373
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: creative with TV contracts. You know, the scheduling stuff is weird,

374
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: and then you're like, what do you do with the

375
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: other twenty Sports, Right, what do you like that where

376
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: it becomes a little more different.

377
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: West Coast Conference, baby, go beat up Gonzaga.

378
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: Right, you join you know, you have like some sort

379
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: of mega mountain West or they joined the Pac twelve

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Big twelve merger or whatever. That's what I would do

381
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: if I were Oregon, I would actually try to leverage

382
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: that sort of awareness and Nike and that wherever Oregon

383
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: would go. Yes, North Carolina State, Oregon, you know that.

384
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, Wolfpack fans would love to see that. That'd

385
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: be like a dream matchup for everybody that doesn't necessarily

386
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: get to have that match up all the time. That's

387
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: what I would do. But that's that's different, and that

388
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: would take some elbow grease.

389
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: Well, and then the postseason part of it, right, and

390
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: then there's the post seasons, the whole post season thing.

391
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Andy, you mentioned Notre Dame before I wanted to

392
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: come back to Notre Dame. I think there is prevailing

393
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: wisdom out there now that Notre Dame to the Big

394
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: ten seems somewhat inevitable. I do recall similar sentiment not

395
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: that far back before they kind of entered into this

396
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: pact with the ACC Notre Dame, if only because they've

397
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: got this history of independence. Notre Dame also tends to

398
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: zag from time to time. It's just sort of in

399
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: their mo Is it wrong to assume that they're headed

400
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: to the Big Ten eventually given the current climate, Like,

401
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 3: could we see Notre Dame pull a fast one end

402
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: to side up? We're going to bond with the ACC.

403
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: Now we're going to booy the whole conference. We're going

404
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 3: to make it all about us. Are you assuming at

405
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: this point that it's Big Ten or bus for Notre

406
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: Dame if they join a conference.

407
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: I'm not assuming. I actually think they might join the SEC.

408
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: No, I'm just oh god, they have fallen on, you know,

409
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 4: on the side of the SEC and a lot of

410
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: things lately, so who knows.

411
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: But no, I mean.

412
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: I don't think they would just join the ACC and

413
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: booy them, because I think anything that causes the ACC

414
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 4: TV contract to get rewritten I think allows North Carolina

415
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: Clemson to slip out the back door, right all right,

416
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 4: And so I don't think wants to be involved in that.

417
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: The Big Ten makes the most sense. I've always been

418
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 4: the one who says Notre Dame should never join a

419
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: conference in football, as long as they don't want to.

420
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: But I do feel like in this case, they may

421
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 4: get just pushed into a situation where their CFP vote

422
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: has diluted so much that they just if they're not

423
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: able to keep that most Favored Nation status, which they

424
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: might not be, then you kind of have.

425
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: To join a conference. And the thing is, the money's

426
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: going to be so big, even for them, it's going

427
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: to be like, wow, that is a lot more money

428
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: than we've been getting.

429
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: Well, it gets back to the old adage. Everyone's got

430
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 3: a price.

431
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ted Tobiassi. That right.

432
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: That's why I kind of like the way that Kevin

433
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: Warren's played it.

434
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: Now.

435
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 3: You asked why didn't they add to Oregon and Washington

436
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: right away? I think by adding USC and UCLA, he

437
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: very clearly signaled his intent to build a super conference

438
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 3: that spans the entire country, and now he's a per

439
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: reports squarely put the onus on Notre Dame to decide

440
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: what happens next.

441
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 4: It puts the pressure on Notre Dame and also gives

442
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 4: other potential targets time to maybe riggle out of a

443
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 4: legal document that they need to riggle out of. Because

444
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: North Carolina Virginia. Would they want Miami. I know they've talked.

445
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: They talked to Georgia Tech before the ACC grant rights

446
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: went into effect. Would they want to plant the flag

447
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: in the South and really be a nationwide conference.

448
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: I think my point is that no entity, I don't

449
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: care what it is, that thinks as highly of itself

450
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: as Notre Dame does, wants to be viewed as reactive, right.

451
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: They don't want to be reacting to anything. They want

452
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 3: to be proactive, front foot, hopefully leading the charge into

453
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: whatever comes next here. So I think by giving Notre

454
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: Dame essentially that option, it probably puts the Big ten

455
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: in the best spot to actually get them the joint.

456
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think Notre Dame needs to sit back

457
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: and wait until the college football playoff discussions start in Earnest,

458
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 4: which is really only about a month from now, just

459
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: to see how goes, because maybe there is a path

460
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 4: to continued independence. There's still I mean, I did this

461
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: study of TV data from from the past six seasons,

462
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 4: take out the pandemic year. I mean, Notre Dame brings

463
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: its own audience wherever it goes, Like it's three million

464
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 4: people every time they go on TV. That's their median number.

465
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 4: You know, they had over five million, I think fifteen

466
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 4: times like they've got they got monster numbers and it

467
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who they play.

468
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: What is something that you're looking forward to this fall

469
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with rights and TV markets

470
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: and the organization of the sport and people chiming in

471
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: with all right, hear me out. The West Division is kansasty.

472
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: What is something that you should watch if you are

473
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: you're you know you're watching your team's game. Is what

474
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: is an actual theme that interests you about this fall.

475
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 4: It's a very interesting year for quarterbacks because you've got

476
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: the obvious Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, But then you've got

477
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 4: guys just we've seen you know, transfers before, but not

478
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: like this where guys are just moving around to different

479
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 4: schools and oh you need to start her.

480
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm here, Cam Woard at Washington State.

481
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: My man Mijaran Maxilson will tell us yea, over and over,

482
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: this is the team that you will find the most

483
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 4: entertaining team in the country this year.

484
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: You're you're gonna.

485
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 4: Stay up all hours of the night on the East

486
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: coast to watch this team.

487
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: So that ole miss.

488
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: Trying to continue to be a very good program in

489
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: the SEC via the transfer port, Like nobody's tried that yet.

490
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 4: You see how it works, and they're coming off a

491
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: ten and two season, but they are a very different team.

492
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: And we'll see if Jackson Dart winds up winning that job.

493
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 4: But that's going to be interesting. Dylan Gabriel at Oklahoma, Yeah,

494
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, Kayla Williams is gone own, Lincoln

495
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 4: Riley's on. Now they're going to go down the tubes. Well,

496
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean I watched Dylan Gabriel and

497
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 4: Jeff Levy together in twenty nineteen at ECF. They look

498
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 4: pretty dmn good and now all of a sudden, you've

499
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 4: got a very good defensive line running that program.

500
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'm.

501
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 4: Ready to abandon OU quite yet. So all of this stuff,

502
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 4: I mean, we're seeing how the changes to the sport

503
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: are manifesting themselves on the field. And I am very

504
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 4: curious about how that works because I suspect just watching

505
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: how the recruiting piece of it's going, you're going to

506
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: see some other schools with a chance to.

507
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: Win the national title.

508
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: This year might not be that year because Alabama is

509
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: absolutely loaded right now, and Ohio State is absolutely loaded,

510
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: so it may take another year before they really start

511
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: to trickle into that national championship discussion. But I think

512
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: that's what we're going to start seeing, is there're gonna

513
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 4: be some other power players and merge here as the

514
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: changes that happened off the field began to show up

515
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: on the field.

516
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sort of on that note, I don't know

517
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: that we've had a year where there is more of

518
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: a vacuum of knowledge of major programs because of the

519
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: coaching changes. So you have what LSU and Florida in

520
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: the SEC, you have Oklahoma in the Big twelve, USC

521
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: and Oregon in the Pac twelve, obviously Notre Dame starting

522
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: over with Marcus Freeman sort of, and then you have

523
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: like a weird situation at schools like Michigan and Clemson

524
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: replacing both coordinators, and there's kind of like this whisper

525
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: of like, I don't know that things are going great there,

526
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: like with both of those places, because of I mean.

527
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: Even with Missig's coming off the year that it finally

528
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: got over correct.

529
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: So I think, if nothing else, this is the Banger

530
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: of Banger's message board season. It's gonna be incredible and

531
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: the thing is sports.

532
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, there will be some results that absolutely blow our

533
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 4: minds in the first few weeks because this is I

534
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: don't think I've gone into a season with so few

535
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 4: preconceived notions. Yeah, and maybe it's just because there's been

536
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: so much news and I've been talking about that the

537
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: whole time that I haven't had time to really drill

538
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 4: down on what cliches I'm going to be spouting for

539
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 4: the entire offseason. Again, it has happened now, So I

540
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: don't have a hot trendy team. I don't have any

541
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 4: of that because really I haven't had a chance to

542
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: look into it.

543
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: No, there's such little continuity in the sport that it

544
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: almost makes this season like you could tell me Oklahoma

545
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: goes eleven and one. You could tell me they go

546
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: seven and five. You could tell me Clemson goes five

547
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: and seven. You can tell me Clemson goes eleven and one.

548
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: You can tell me all sorts that. You can tell

549
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: me Texas A and M goes undefeated. You can tell

550
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: me Texts A and M goes eight and four and

551
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: can't find a quarterback. The amount of variance in the

552
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: sport this fall right now, it seems like there's very

553
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: little you can count on beyond Tanner Morgan starting from Minnesota.

554
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: That's the one thing. As the nuclear holocaust comes upon him,

555
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: as he has since the Eisenhower administration, Tanner Morgan will

556
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: start for Minnesota. Tanner Morgan's he probably has a full

557
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: time job somewhere and he's just doing this as like

558
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: a passion project that keep letting it back.

559
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: He sells replacement neees for arth Rex.

560
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: Yep. He's got a region in the Midwest. Does that

561
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: make it an excellent thing or is it nice to

562
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: have the sort of bedrock of Okay, this is what

563
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: we can expect from Ohio State and Michigan is what

564
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: we can expect or does it Does it make it

565
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: actually like a sport that more people may watch for

566
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: longer this year because you know, somebody can be favored

567
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: by six and a half and lose by fourteen, And.

568
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: I think this is good.

569
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: I love the anything can happen acting aspect to this,

570
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: and college football has been missing that for quite some

571
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: time yep, And so I am very excited about that.

572
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: Now.

573
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 4: Obviously there wasn't anything that could happen aspect two years ago,

574
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: but that was not what we wanted, right, and it

575
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: was a very depressing one. This is some crazy stuff

576
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: has happened in this sport. Nobody knows what some teams

577
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 4: are going to look like, Nobody knows how some teams

578
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: will coalesce in terms of chemistry.

579
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: And we could try to guess, but we won't.

580
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: We won't guess right right, And we're going to get

581
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: to see it all and we're going to see it

582
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: all grow as they go.

583
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: So I'm I am all for this because that's another thing.

584
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 4: When I was looking through all those games, I was thinking,

585
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: as I get into the middle of the season, I.

586
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: Don't know who's going to be good at this point.

587
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 4: I have no idea, like I can't wait to see

588
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: who the I have a suspicion that, like, if Purdue

589
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: beats Penn State, that we're probably talking about perdue throughout

590
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: the first half of the season, as you know, the

591
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: the the potential sleep, the one that that sneaks in,

592
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: but of course they're the back into their schedule is brutal,

593
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: but they could be I forget.

594
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: What it was.

595
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: If they beat Penn State, there's a good shot at

596
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 4: like seven, and oh.

597
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always that team.

598
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: We refer to teams like that as like our forest

599
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: Gump team, our gumpy team, because they just find ways

600
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: kind of into odd situations throughout the course of the.

601
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: The back of winning pictures with FDR Yeah, Elvis, like

602
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: they just like, oh, there's Purdue again.

603
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: Have you seen Texas Tech schedule or have you looked

604
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: to see when other teams in the Big Twelve play

605
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, because.

606
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 4: It's I know that Texas plays them in a very

607
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 4: inconvenient spot and in Lubbock.

608
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 3: Well, Texas plays Texas Tech in Lubbock, but actually in

609
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: the most convenient spot of any team in the Big

610
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: Twelve if you go through, if you go through a look,

611
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: Oklahoma gets them on the road the week after Bedlam.

612
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State gets them in a sandwich spot after they

613
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 3: go to Baylor, and the week after that they go

614
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: on the road against TCU, which isn't you know, we

615
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: don't know what to expect in that situation. Either Baylor

616
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: gets them a week on the road a week before Oklahoma,

617
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: Iowa State gets them a week after Oklahoma State before TCU.

618
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: You go right down the list here for Texas Tech,

619
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: with the exception of I think Texas pretty much all

620
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: of those games are inconvenient for the opponent.

621
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: And we're assuming, we're assuming the Nancy State's going to

622
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: be very good. And Texas Tech goes to Raleigh. Yeah,

623
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: on September seventeenth with an offense that because we saw

624
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: Zach Kintley go from Houston Baptist to Western Kentucky. He

625
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 4: brought Bailey Zappy with him and they just put obscene

626
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: numbers up. Conceivably they can do this in Texas Tech.

627
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: We'll see what they do at the quarterback spot. Sure

628
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: Tyler shook his healthy again. I thought Donovan Smith looked

629
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 4: really good at the end of last season, so this

630
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: will That's a great example. And you've got Joey McGuire

631
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: who's just starting as their coach. You listen to him.

632
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: You can't help but get excited. This is an example

633
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 4: of why we have no idea what's going to happen. Like,

634
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: I had not thought about that Texas Techno NC State

635
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: game in Week three, but now I'm like, oh, that

636
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: might be my favorite game of week three.

637
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much intrigue, at least for me on

638
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: the Tech side. And I think the broader point is

639
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: bet underdogs. If you find some early season matchups where

640
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: you've got, you know, a double digit point spread, you

641
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: know there are going to be a couple of them.

642
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: Of course, Vegas always knows best, but if you're gonna.

643
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: Bet they know less probably this year than they've ever known.

644
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: They know they know less this year maybe than ever before,

645
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: and certainly in that first month of the season. So

646
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: if you're interested, I think there are some bargains to

647
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: be had, if only because, like Dan you said, there's

648
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: so much of a vacuum in terms of what we

649
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: know about the better teams.

650
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: By the way, the thing that was the obsession of

651
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: everybody following the sport before realignment was, you know, nil

652
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: concerns and transfer portal concerns. Are we going to see

653
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: a sport? And I kind of hope so where this

654
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 1: is sort of the new normal that so many schools

655
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: are going to have their hands forced because they lose

656
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: a key quarterback and they blame it on the coach,

657
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: and suddenly the coach is on the hot seat. Where

658
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: we almost sort of have a snapchat sport where every

659
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: two three years it's going to be reset. Every year,

660
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be reset in a way that we've

661
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: never seen.

662
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 4: I think they're going to find out that this is

663
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: a good thing for the popularity of the sport at large,

664
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: because a lot of you have people say, well, that's

665
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: not what I grew up with, that's that's not what

666
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 4: I want. Yet at the same time they're like, yoh,

667
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: are we in on this quarterback? Yess Like, I'm telling

668
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: you you and we see the numbers. You see the

669
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: numbers of your show. I see numbers of my show.

670
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 4: And what I write, people were very engaged this offseason

671
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 4: in a way that they have not been engaged.

672
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: And I'm talking about before re alignment. Yep, it's the same.

673
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: It's the same reason people follow NBA free agency and

674
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 4: NFL free agency.

675
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: It is their sport when they're not playing their sport.

676
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: There's so that what college football sells is not football, right,

677
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: It's hope.

678
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: Right.

679
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: It's always going to be the hope of a recruiting class,

680
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: the hope of a new coordinator, and in short supply

681
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: in college football right in recent years, and there is

682
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: something about the sport and that this is what gets

683
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: me excited in a time where I'm not fully excited

684
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: because of Oregon's future, but what gets me excited. Is

685
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: the same reason everybody watches Fixer Upper, the same reason

686
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: everybody watches Extreme Makeover Home Edite.

687
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: They watch fix a Upper because they were Baylor fans.

688
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: That's true. They love the ship Lap and I'm kind

689
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: of out on Ship Lap. But the same reason, it's

690
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: because there's a new element of hope. There's an new

691
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: element of Tennessee that like, hey, maybe we this collective

692
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: can sort of bring us a couple more dudes who

693
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: would otherwise go to LSU or BAMA or USC or

694
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: if you are a team who has stability and a

695
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: great culture that like, you know what, maybe we're going

696
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: to see portal guys go to Texas Tech because people

697
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: love Joey Maguire. So there is something about like the

698
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: natural human love of seeing things fixed quickly. That's why

699
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: we always see makeovers in rom coms and we see

700
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: those montages of like, oh my god, he can dress

701
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: like a gentleman. Now, heyst help them.

702
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 4: We did a kitchen backsplash ourselves. Yeah, and it makes

703
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 4: me hate those HDTV shows so much. Yeah, of course,

704
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: is the idea of anybody within an hour being able

705
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 4: to have a new backsplash just hurts my heart, because

706
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 4: I know what it took to scrape all the crap

707
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: off the old one when you're removing the old one,

708
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 4: and I just yeah, I'm with you, So, yes, you're right.

709
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: It does give you that instant hope, which I think

710
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 4: is a valuable commodity, and I think people are going

711
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: to enjoy consuming that.

712
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: All.

713
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: Right, are you on the road this year at all?

714
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: I hope?

715
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: So where are you trying to get to this year?

716
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to get I want to get

717
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: everywhere now.

718
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: I spent the whole pandemic at home and didn't really

719
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 4: travel much last year because people still had kind of

720
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 4: restrictions about who you could talk to.

721
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: I would like to go out on the road in

722
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: the middle of the week.

723
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 4: That is better for me in terms of getting stories

724
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: and podcasts, and then being home and being able to

725
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 4: see all the games on Saturday is a lot of fun.

726
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 4: I still, every once in a while want to go

727
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 4: to a really big game, just because you cannot replicate

728
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: that atmosphere anywhere, and so.

729
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: Every once in a while I'd like to do that.

730
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 4: But I would rather be on your campus on a Tuesday,

731
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 4: Wednesday or Thursday and then be home watching the game

732
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 4: when it comes on on Saturday.

733
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: You've talked about fitness, you've talked about weight loss, you've

734
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: talked about lifestyle, and you've talked about how you're not

735
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: eating pe pure for every meal. No that, But here's

736
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: what I want to know, because I go through this

737
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: myself with you know, eating and exercise everything like that.

738
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: What have you prioritized? What is your best bad food

739
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: that you still eat, and what have you eliminated? Because

740
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how many pounds you're down now, I'm down.

741
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 2: About sixty five totals since twenty What have been your

742
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: food priorities? Good, bad food, junkie snack food like potato

743
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: chips is gone.

744
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 4: Okay, you grab that bag of potatoes, even the little

745
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 4: bag of potato chips, like two hundred calories.

746
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: You grab that bag and you go, well, it'sen two

747
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: hundred calories.

748
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 4: I don't get back and I'm going to be hungry

749
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: as soon as I finish eating this thing.

750
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: This is not even worth it. So what you.

751
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: Prioritize is if you're in a place where you can

752
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 4: get a thing that you can't get somewhere else.

753
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: You have that thing, you.

754
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: Enjoy it, whatever the calories are they are, you put

755
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: them in your little calorie log and.

756
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 2: You work it off later. You enjoy that.

757
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 4: If it's something you can get anywhere that happens to

758
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: have three thousand calories in it, you skip it this

759
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 4: time and maybe do it next time. But I think

760
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 4: that's that's the way to do it. In terms of

761
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: just individual foods. Barbecue is great for this because as

762
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: as even though meat, you know, sometimes fatty has a

763
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 4: little higher in calories, you can you can eat a

764
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: lot of meat for not that many calories and so

765
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 4: and it fills you up. Like one thing I've I've

766
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: kind of figured out is if I can do a

767
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 4: big lunch and then not do much for dinner, Oh

768
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 4: that works best for me. That I sleep better, I

769
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: function better during the day, and I don't really eat

770
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: breakfast anymore at all. So if I could, I have

771
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 4: not become an omad entirely. Omad is the one meal

772
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: a day people.

773
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: Right, And that's tough.

774
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

775
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 4: But ideally, my my perfect day or the best functioning

776
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: day where I would get the most out of what

777
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: I ate and enjoy it the most, would be don't

778
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: eat breakfast, eat a really big lunch, maybe even a

779
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 4: little later lunch and then just have a little small

780
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: dinner and that's that.

781
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: And that works. And I work out a lot.

782
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: Like I.

783
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 4: Am not joking when I say I traded one addiction

784
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 4: for another. And so if I don't exercise, I am

785
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 4: a problem, Like I am hard to deal with, just

786
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 4: sort of like I was when I was hungry back

787
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 4: in the days when I was eating more, and so

788
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 4: I just make sure I get it in and we

789
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 4: have it. We bought a treadmill for the house last year,

790
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 4: and I had no idea how much I'd wind up

791
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: using it. But one thing I like doing is now

792
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 4: I don't I don't really sit and watch TV. If

793
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 4: I have a show I like, like, I this Anatomy

794
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 4: of a Scandal show I just watched on Netflix, and

795
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: it's a.

796
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: Cienna Miller and it's good.

797
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: Some guy who looks like if you took ESPN's Jeremy

798
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: Fowler and Sports Illustrated, it's Albert Greer.

799
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: Combined it that made them British so specific. Yeah, but yeah,

800
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 1: it's it's a really good show.

801
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: And I got sucked into it and I was like, well, oh, yes,

802
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: this is my new treadmill show, so I'll pop you know,

803
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: pop that on while I'm on the treadmill.

804
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: And just go.

805
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 4: And you don't have to go fast like you just

806
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 4: plot along, You're just moving. It's you were moving when

807
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: you would have been sitting. And if you can if

808
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: you can move when you would have sat, you're going

809
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: to be generally healthier.

810
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with that. I'm like that with with podcasts.

811
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: I really want to listen to like that for a walk.

812
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm saving that for a run like myself.

813
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, while listening to a podcast, it's it's fantastic and

814
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 4: or I will a lot of times do the treadmill

815
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,000

Speaker 1: just popped on the podcast and just knocked out an

820
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: episode and.

821
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, all right, I feel very refreshed

822
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 2: and I was very entertained.

823
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,800

Speaker 1: how you did you quantify all the data for this,

828
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: but you get listeners some sort of It doesn't even

829
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: have to weight loss. Maybe it's just treadmill mileage over

830
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,359

860
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: It's not the Andy Staples Show anymore. It's the Andy

861
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Staples experience.

862
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 4: And that's really what it's all about. You have to

863
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 4: sell the experience, right What is the solid verbal experience?

864
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, so the solid verbal experience? Well,

865
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: tie is different. But we both play like TI Golf's

866
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: and I play tennis. So if I can wake up early,

867
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: I'll wake up early with you. I'll play two or

868
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: three sets of tennis. I will let you watch my

869
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: kids at a park. No, and then I'll make a

870
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: backyard pizza feast for you.

871
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I like it. I like it.

872
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 4: How can I suggest the college football fringe media experience?

873
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: Sure? Please?

874
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 4: The four of us and Bruce Feldman are joined by

875
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: a one lucky listener and we walk through the streets

876
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 4: of New York City while you asked me truly questions.

877
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: It's so specific, but there's a market for everything. By

878
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: the way, just in terms of the solid verbal experience,

879
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: tangentially with Bruce and Andy, I kind of want to

880
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: because I think I'm going to be out there for

881
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: the National Championship game. I kind of want to rent

882
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: a small school bus and go on a taco tour

883
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: ahead of like a college football media taco tour. Oh,

884
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: just hit like the East Side and downtown and just

885
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: really go because tacos are a really feastable food because

886
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: there's not that much heaviness to a tortilla or the fillings,

887
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: and you get great variety. So I think that's the

888
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: like the College Football Podcast Universe experience in LA.

889
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 4: I think I think I can't eat as nearly as

890
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 4: much as I used to, but I can still put

891
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 4: away a lot of tacos. So I am ready for that.

892
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: So we'll come up with some sort of I don't

893
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: know if it's media only, I don't know if it's

894
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: a couple lucky listeners who hit a certain benchmark on

895
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: their their treadmill, watching app whatever. I think that'd be

896
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: pretty friggin' rad. That's all I have time.

897
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: I like the old school bus idea.

898
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: This old school bus. We hit Sonora Town, we hit Marisco' Jalisco,

899
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: we hit trucks, we hit nicer places, we hit stands,

900
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: and you're getting like eight, ten, twelve tacos in two

901
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: three hours. You get because it's podcasters on the bus.

902
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: Somebody gets to have the mic at the top of

903
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: the you know, at the front of the bus. Oh yeah,

904
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: they get their turn with it. I think it's a

905
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: winning idea. We got to figure out, you know, how

906
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: you get on that bus.

907
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 4: Logistics are always an issue, but yeah, we can figure

908
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 4: that out, all right.

909
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a better way to go

910
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: out than that.

911
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, have your people call our people,

912
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 3: Andy and I will. We'll figure something out. My people

913
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: are me by the way, say so, look, it's a

914
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 3: pleasure as always to have you on. Good luck with

915
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 3: the Andy Staples Show. Everything you're doing at the athletic,

930

Speaker 3: I demand the egg crate chair, that type of thing,

931
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: but nothing too substantial.

932
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

933
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: I remember when we went to I guess we did

934
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: two shows right in twenty nineteen. We were asked. We

935
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: were asked by venues and stuff, what would you like backstage?

936
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: Like whatever backstages and the sort of smaller DC rock

937
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: Club we performed at and the Almo Draft House, both

938
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: venues extremely great to us. But they asked and I

939
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, well, I'll think about what

940
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: snack food I want. I was like, I guess some

941
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: chocolate covered pretzels are good and a little bit of

942
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: sugar and caffeine before a show, and I think we

943
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: had some beers or waters and whatever, just like normal

944
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: snack foods that you would have when you just want

945
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: to munch on something before doing whatever. And we showed

946
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: up at both the venues and there were chocolate covered

947
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: pretzels which cost three dollars, and I said to myself,

948
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: I've made it.

949
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: I am.

950
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: I am a superstar. Friends. I asked for chocolate pretzels

951
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: and dark chocolate. It was specifically, I don't want this

952
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: on milk, guys for dark chocolate pretzel thins, and there

953
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: they were, and I was like, guys, if you need

954
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: me to host the Oscars, we can talk. And it

955
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: was it's like and you know what. It made me

956
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: feel good and we did good shows, or at least

957
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: my part of it was good. Your part was excellent

958
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: because of it.

959
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 3: I just remember getting that request from the folks who

960
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: helped us set up those shows at the time, and

961
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: I remember I was so focused on the audio and

962
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 3: the av stuff and how are we going to project

963
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 3: and how are we going to record that When they said, like,

964
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 3: do you want any food? I almost didn't know how

965
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 3: to react. I couldn't come up with an a. I

966
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 3: couldn't even think up the name of a food that

967
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 3: I might want to eat because I was so focused

968
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: on the other stuff that it was just blowing my mind.

969
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 3: It was just blowing my mind that we'd be asked

970
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,160
