Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hell 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.
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day? Da state?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: Woo woom?
Speaker 1: And Dan and Tye, welcome back to the Solidburbo boys
Speaker 1: and girls. My name is ty Hildebrandt. That guy over
Speaker 1: there in Chicagoland, the one and only Daniel Rubinstein, the
Speaker 1: fifth Sir, how are you? Oh man?
Speaker 2: I really hope there are not four more in this
Speaker 2: line ahead of me that I don't know about. That
Speaker 2: would be very strange. I'm pretty good. It's Sonny ish.
Speaker 2: I ate a not sad dad. Lunch today we had
Speaker 2: a we have a number of excellent questions that have
Speaker 2: come in. We have the NFL Draft in our rear
Speaker 2: view mirror. I don't know if you have, because we
Speaker 2: played the twenty twenty two I almost by the way
Speaker 2: we played the twenty twenty two mock draft, looking at
Speaker 2: players that are projected to be taken early next year
Speaker 2: and looking at their position groups and situations going into
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one season, and I almost sent over
Speaker 2: a description of the episode that included we examined their units.
Speaker 2: Then I thought to myself, No, you know, we probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Do that family show dance family showing shot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm all right. I'm in a pretty good mood.
Speaker 2: I got a good night's sleeping ast last night. The
Speaker 2: baby is sleeping more and more, which is pretty excellent,
Speaker 2: and luck life is all right. I can't complain.
Speaker 1: Didn't you say that the solid toddler may be across
Speaker 1: the hall from you at present doing his own podcast
Speaker 1: of sorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was refusing to take a nap and standing
Speaker 2: up in his crib and just not upset, just running
Speaker 2: through some goofs, running through some some songs. He had
Speaker 2: me as a one man show in there, and I
Speaker 2: was watching it, and Solid wife Jody was watching it,
Speaker 2: Jody without night, excuse me watching it in the camera monitor.
Speaker 2: He's like, he's just performing, unsure if anybody's actually paying attention.
Speaker 2: But there he is, alone in his room, running through material.
Speaker 2: So it's a family affair here in this house.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome one, welcome all. This is our monthly Q
Speaker 1: and a show. For those of you who are five
Speaker 1: dollars subscribers on the Patreon, you get access to the
Speaker 1: video feed of this Dan and I right now are

Speaker 2: branded over his wall. Yeah, I mean you have a
Speaker 2: nice little room going on.

Speaker 1: We've gotten dozens of these and we're still going through them.
Speaker 1: I know people have written in like, hey, just want
Speaker 1: to make sure you got my submission.
Speaker 2: We did.
Speaker 1: We thank everybody so much for their support and their
Speaker 1: willingness to want to be part of the movement here.
Speaker 1: We're doing our best to try and get through all
Speaker 1: those that came in, So thank you again. Dan. What
Speaker 1: what do we got on the docket here? We got
Speaker 1: a Q and a show before us, do we not?
Speaker 2: We do? I was thinking about all of the ms
Speaker 2: in our life right now. We have the month of
Speaker 2: may and Sinco de Mayos. My mother's day coming up,
Speaker 2: and so I decided to add a few more MS
Speaker 2: into the fold with regard to question prompts, And that
Speaker 2: includes what did I put MS schools? So schools that
Speaker 2: begin with the letter M matchups in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: I wasn't to include MAX schools, but I figured we
Speaker 2: might not get enough questions about MAC schools. And I
Speaker 2: have mysteries in college football though somebody asked about cryptids. Yeah, cryptids,
Speaker 2: which are mysterious creatures of unknown existence. So creatures like
Speaker 2: the chupacabra or the locknown monster of the yetti or sasquatch,
Speaker 2: things like that, and who would make for the best quarterback?
Speaker 2: And normally I don't love those questions, but it did
Speaker 2: get me thinking. Yeah, it did get me thinking. So
Speaker 2: let's do the college football questions first. I don't know
Speaker 2: if there's any news or other housekeeping you wanted to
Speaker 2: get into, but we have a bunch of M things
Speaker 2: to get into, and I couldn't be more excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, other than Tyler Buckner Quarterback of the future, Tyler
Speaker 1: the Creator coming to a South Bend campus near you,
Speaker 1: I have nothing else.
Speaker 2: Well, and he's also from apparently he's from vaguely where
Speaker 2: I now live.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is she's I.
Speaker 2: Found out that I have like a connection to a
Speaker 2: connection to his family. I guess they're now in San Diego,
Speaker 2: but they're very excited. I saw a Facebook post from
Speaker 2: his mom after the spring game that he scored his
Speaker 2: first college football touchdown, that they were so excited. So
Speaker 2: I guess I have that insight into Notre Dame's quarterback
Speaker 2: of the future. And I don't think I have many
Speaker 2: more things. Obviously, more and more players entering into the
Speaker 2: transfer portal. I saw a big time receiver, big time recruit.
Speaker 2: Ohio State is now going to Alabama. But in terms
Speaker 2: of a movement across the sport, nothing too dramatic right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think as you enter into old banhood, Dan,
Speaker 1: we will convert you over to the Notre Dame side
Speaker 1: of the coin yet mark my work do it.
Speaker 2: I just can't.
Speaker 1: Sorry, where are we going first here with our questions
Speaker 1: that came in Dan?
Speaker 2: So, speaking of Ohio State, speaking of big matchups, we
Speaker 2: have Jordan asking about one of the most interesting aspects
Speaker 2: of Oregon's trip to the Horseshoe in September. By the way,
Speaker 2: Ohio State plays four m schools, all from the Big Ten.
Speaker 2: So what is that Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, and Maryland.
Speaker 2: My math adds up, what is your preferred enchilada sauce?
Speaker 2: Because I did say Mexican food as well, Single to
Speaker 2: Mayo and it's it marks the I think a win
Speaker 2: over the French, a battle the Mexican Army military win
Speaker 2: over the French wasn't like Mexican independence state, and they
Speaker 2: don't celebrate Single to Mayo to any sort of dramatic
Speaker 2: degree in Mexico, but it's big here. So he asked
Speaker 2: about preferred lot of sauce base, So is it a
Speaker 2: pepper bass like a chili pepper base or a tomato
Speaker 2: bas Let's talk about Oregon Ohio State first, because that
Speaker 2: is one of the premiere non conference matchups that we
Speaker 2: have coming up in a few months. To you what
Speaker 2: stands out about in the game in terms of interesting
Speaker 2: aspects and angles.
Speaker 1: Possibly the earliest exit for the PAC twelve from national
Speaker 1: significance since they started to play you.
Speaker 2: But you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and I say that half jokingly, but Ohio
Speaker 1: State should be a pretty good favorite going into that game.
Speaker 1: The most obvious thing I think is the Ohio State
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. I don't know if either you or I
Speaker 1: is all that concern that they're going to be able
Speaker 1: to fill that hole. But Justin Field's walking out the door.
Speaker 1: It's certainly not an easy void to fill. And an
Speaker 1: early season matchup against a good team. Maybe they're not
Speaker 1: a playoff worthy team, but a good team the less
Speaker 1: with the Oregon Ducks. Yeah, that strikes me as a
Speaker 1: really interesting matchup to see what Ohio State can do
Speaker 1: new signal caller against a really good team in a
Speaker 1: big non conference game. That's the most obvious storyline to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there are storylines all over the place. Obviously,
Speaker 2: replacing Justin Fields is an enormous one. So it's seems
Speaker 2: it's likely CJ. Stroud, who was recruited by Oregon from
Speaker 2: southern California. You're talking about two of the deeper receiver
Speaker 2: groups in the country. Ohio State gave up a lot
Speaker 2: through the air last year, and so this looks like
Speaker 2: it's going to be pretty much I think maybe outside
Speaker 2: of what Seven Banks and New Lok Ohio State Secondary
Speaker 2: and so Oregon has a bunch of super experienced and
Speaker 2: really young receivers that could be impact guys. Now got
Speaker 2: to get them the ball, and that's Anthony Brown and
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But Ohio State going to look
Speaker 2: a little bit different all over that defense losing you know,
Speaker 2: some big starting names all over the place. They've obviously
Speaker 2: recruited quite well. In Oregon, they have essentially I think
Speaker 2: the best edge rusher in the country coming after a
Speaker 2: quarterback playing in his first big game, and Ohio State
Speaker 2: brings back to tackles. There's interesting matchups all over the field.
Speaker 2: It's just so what does that game look like in
Speaker 2: terms of it's luckily for both teams Week two, so
Speaker 2: they each I think Oregon has Fresno State in Week one.
Speaker 2: I don't know who Ohio State has. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it's quarterback and I think it's Oregon looking a
Speaker 2: little bit different upfront and Ohio State looking different all
Speaker 2: over the place. On defense, looking to take an enormous
Speaker 2: step up from where they were last year when they
Speaker 2: gave up a lot, most notably in that game against Alabama,
Speaker 2: that game against Indiana. It was not a defense that
Speaker 2: maintained a level of play from twenty nineteen. So I
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a fascinating matchup, and you're
Speaker 2: probably right in terms of national narrative that you know,
Speaker 2: it's not just a playoff thing. It's Oregon's the sort
Speaker 2: of standard bearer right now for the PAC twelve in
Speaker 2: terms of non conference matchup against another big name school,
Speaker 2: and that helps to dictate the PAC twelve's reputation more
Speaker 2: than it does for other conferences in a similar position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for what it's worth again, I think Oregon's
Speaker 1: going to be a very good team, just rising to
Speaker 1: the level of Ohio State, especially early. You know, we
Speaker 1: talked they.
Speaker 2: Were supposed to play last year in Eugene. The game
Speaker 2: got canceled, right, so I would have had a better
Speaker 2: concept of things. Yep.
Speaker 1: I think it's very easy to approach this game from
Speaker 1: the perspective Ohio of Ohio State at quarterback, and they've
Speaker 1: got some turnover there obviously, But it's also early season
Speaker 1: for Oregon breaking in some new faces, So what will
Speaker 1: they do, what will they look like? Early? I believe
Speaker 1: that game's in Columbus.
Speaker 2: Right, Yep, it's at the Shoe at the Shoe, so Noman,
Speaker 2: But it's Mastertigue, and I believe it's steel Chambers is
Speaker 2: one of the running fantastic name. So yeah, all sorts
Speaker 2: of fascinating and then of course what can they.
Speaker 1: Do early on the road in the SeaBus.
Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, I will probably say I think
Speaker 2: it's pepper. Well, I think it's pepper. I do like
Speaker 2: all sorts of different pepper based enchilada sauces. But I
Speaker 2: love tomatillo, which is the green tomato. But that's not
Speaker 2: technically a tomato though it's in the night shade family.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm gonna say pepper. I've had sass franchiladas.
Speaker 1: I've had tomatillo, I've had the totio. Yes it's good, right, yes,
Speaker 1: it's very good.
Speaker 2: I agree it's sal saverite. Yes, yeah, Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2: Will Michigan be because of the M theme, uh, moderately
Speaker 2: mediocre or miraculously marvelous. I'm gonna I'm gonna trend it
Speaker 2: more towards mediocre.
Speaker 1: I would trend it more towards mediocre as well, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just because marvelous is such a like superlative. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we've been waiting for Michigan to get there
Speaker 1: under Jim Harbaugh. I think this may be the last
Speaker 1: opportunity he has to actually get them to that level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I kind of feel like this is the
Speaker 1: last hurrah for for Harbaugh and Michigan will probably have
Speaker 1: a fine season. They've got a mean what does that mean?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Nine wins?
Speaker 2: Nine and three?
Speaker 1: Nine?
Speaker 2: Super competitive? If Ohio State is we think they'll be
Speaker 2: by then, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And look, nine wins for most teams is fine. But
Speaker 1: I just feel like Michigan faith will expect more. They
Speaker 1: wanted more when they brought Harball on. I think he's
Speaker 1: done a good job. He hasn't gotten them quite to
Speaker 1: the heights that they expected, and anything short of ten wins,
Speaker 1: for better or worse, is going to be viewed as
Speaker 1: moderately mediocre. And that's not fair. But that's just yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just a public opinion.
Speaker 2: No, it's fair. Given the resources, given the relative recruiting success,
Speaker 2: it's fair to say that nine to three is disappointing.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's how many years do you
Speaker 2: have to find and develop quarterbacks? And how many times
Speaker 2: has Jim Harbaugh and how many times of Michigan recruited
Speaker 2: a dude who has worked out? Is it zero times?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Is my math correct?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Jake Rudock and a little bit of Shaye Patterson two
Speaker 2: guys who came in as transfers, and now we have
Speaker 2: what JJ McCarthy as a true freshman or Cade mcnam era,
Speaker 2: who they determined to be behind Joe Milton last year. Right, So,
Speaker 2: I don't know quarterback and defense. The defense is a
Speaker 2: giant question mark of changing coordinators and scheme, and many
Speaker 2: quarterbacks a giant question mark. Two. I don't know how
Speaker 2: you can. I don't know how you can be super
Speaker 2: optimistic about the ceiling of this Michigan team. There are
Speaker 2: pieces on both sides of the ball, especially upfront on defense.
Speaker 2: But you know, if we get the best of Donovan Jeter,
Speaker 2: the best of Aiden Hutchinson, guys like that. But I
Speaker 2: don't know. I just get the two deep and I
Speaker 2: think to myself, Yeah, they're gonna lose one to two
Speaker 2: games they could win or will be out talented against.
Speaker 2: It's just it's hard to see them as a team
Speaker 2: that is winning the tough ones and hanging with the
Speaker 2: best of their schedule.
Speaker 1: The problem for Michigan is similar to the problem that
Speaker 1: every school in the SEC has with Alabama, Michigan's got
Speaker 1: to get in front of Ohio State. I think in
Speaker 1: order for the hire of Jim Harbaugh to be truly validated,
Speaker 1: they've got to find some way to knock off Ohio State,
Speaker 1: to move on beyond that final game, to get into
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship, maybe go a little bit further.
Speaker 1: That's that's what they have to do. That is the
Speaker 1: measuring stick by which they are graded here, and I
Speaker 1: just don't see that happening. They could have a fine
Speaker 1: team this year, I just I don't see that happening.
Speaker 2: If you had to pay to go to a non
Speaker 2: conference game tie so that's you know, food and hotels.
Speaker 2: All this is from parish. Invest your own money, hotels, tickets, dining.
Speaker 2: Which non conference game are you hitting up in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one.
Speaker 1: I had a hard time with this question.
Speaker 2: I had a hard time, Mama Miami.
Speaker 1: I had a hard time with this question because for me,
Speaker 1: it's hard not to be instantly drawn towards what I
Speaker 1: think is going to be the best game. I think
Speaker 1: the best game of the lot will probably be Clemson Georgia.
Speaker 1: I would like that matchup a lot more if it
Speaker 1: were in Athens or even if it were in Clemson.
Speaker 1: But it's actually in Charlotte on September the fourth, and
Speaker 1: you know how we feel about neutral psyche games. Now,
Speaker 1: have you been to Charlotte. I have not.
Speaker 2: I've been to the airport. I've recommended Rahman in Charlotte
Speaker 2: no less than three times on this show shout out
Speaker 2: Fudo Buddha.
Speaker 1: But is that a reason to go.
Speaker 2: You got Jeff Schwartz availability, you have the NASCAR Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame, which I've been to and it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: You have Hush Puppy availability. Carolina Panthers football, not on
Speaker 2: nine to four LaMelo ball. I'm trying to think of.
Speaker 2: If I'm the Charlotte Board of Tourism for early September,
Speaker 2: what am I selling cookout? Steph Curry went to college nearby.
Speaker 1: Isn't there a barbecue sauce type thing in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: like a special kind of sauce.
Speaker 2: I think that's more. Well, yeah, it's a vinegar based
Speaker 2: barbecue sauce, but I think that is more and maybe
Speaker 2: I'm wrong about this. I think that's more in the
Speaker 2: western part of the state. Okay, So I think Charlotte
Speaker 2: It's a perfectly nice place, especially if you're in banking.
Speaker 2: That isn't b of a in Wacovia. That's where whatever
Speaker 2: Wacovia was part of. I think those are both based
Speaker 2: in Charlotte. It's a perfectly nice place. I almost moved
Speaker 2: to Charlotte way back when, so I think it's fine.
Speaker 2: But in terms of destination, yeah, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: is there a NASCAR race you can go to that weekend?
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 2: Okay, that would be cool.
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that. But so that's where my
Speaker 1: eye was drawn first. Clemson Georgia. I am interested in
Speaker 1: the Auburn Penn State game. And it may not be
Speaker 1: the highest level matchup, and perhaps I am biased, but
Speaker 1: that just seems like a fun mid September matchup that
Speaker 1: you don't usually see. Typically, you'd see that in like
Speaker 1: a bowl game, right.
Speaker 2: Nicks, Sean Clifford, your hard earned money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I don't know what Beaver Stadium is
Speaker 1: going to look like in mid September. My guess is
Speaker 1: they'll have seventy percent in the stands. I would think
Speaker 1: that would be a really cool atmosphere. I think you'll
Speaker 1: get a good crowd for that game. Anytime you've got
Speaker 1: big ten sec like that outside of a bowl game,
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of an attraction. And look if if
Speaker 1: part of the rubric here is me spending my own money.
Speaker 1: You can find a cheap hotel in central Pennsylvania, like
Speaker 1: forty five minutes away. Dog, you know, got to pay
Speaker 1: for the Nitney line in. You can go over to
Speaker 1: Danville and get a cheap days in. So I think,
Speaker 1: I don't know that's an interesting matchup to me. Do
Speaker 1: you have any you have any thoughts on this question?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I would go to Atlanta that weekend. I
Speaker 2: would go see Bama Miami. I have friends and family
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. You can eat super well. Isn't that the
Speaker 2: weekend that that first weekend is dragon in Atlanta. There's
Speaker 2: all sorts of things happening in Atlanta that week and
Speaker 2: you with college Football Hall of Fame again, good food.
Speaker 2: I can go for a run, nice weather outside. I
Speaker 2: think that's my move. Okay, and you get Bryce Young,
Speaker 2: you get hopefully dearic King. I mean, Alabama should win
Speaker 2: that game comfortably. It's a cool stadium that I haven't
Speaker 2: been to. Allegedly, I haven't been, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that's my answer.
Speaker 1: All right, next.
Speaker 2: Topic, next question, you want to pick it, and you
Speaker 2: have the dock in front of you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to talk about this question about which
Speaker 1: m coach would you select if you were starting a
Speaker 1: new program from scratch. And the four names here that
Speaker 1: Will has listed are Mario, Crystobaal, Matt Campbell, Manny Diez,
Speaker 1: and then Bronco Menden Hall.
Speaker 2: Was was that galloping? Was that? What that was?
Speaker 1: That was a little bit of a weird lip you
Speaker 1: probably see if you look on the video here. I
Speaker 1: did a little power ranking here of these four. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to get in on this
Speaker 1: with me.
Speaker 2: I think he nailed the order. But yeah, so.
Speaker 1: His order was crystal Ball, Campbell, Manny Diaz in Bronco
Speaker 1: Mandeh Hall. You would go in that order?
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 1: Why would you put Mario first?
Speaker 2: Recruiting organization and assistant hiring some combination that that is
Speaker 2: the trio, right, So you look at the assistance that
Speaker 2: he's hired. They've largely worked out very very well or
Speaker 2: I think will continue to improve within the system at Oregon.
Speaker 2: So it's Joe Morehead and Andy Avlos. Tim de Ruder,
Speaker 2: the assistant, said, he's hired you know Brian McClendon at
Speaker 2: receivers coach. I mean, guys have just they've hung around.
Speaker 2: I think he's done a good job on both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball and Alex mierball along the offensive line.
Speaker 2: He's increased the size of that that football staff in
Speaker 2: a place that it's difficult to win. So we're saying
Speaker 2: a team from scratch, it's probably not necessarily in a
Speaker 2: hotbed of recruiting. I think Mario Christovaul will hire well.
Speaker 2: I think he'll have a plan. He has his own drawbacks.
Speaker 2: I think he's stubborn and probably has a hand too
Speaker 2: much in the offense. But I like Matt Campbell a lot.
Speaker 2: But he hasn't had to organize the chairs on the
Speaker 2: deck of a major, major program quite yet. But he's
Speaker 2: turned Iowa State into a burgeoning major program many das.
Speaker 2: I like a lot because of the youthful energy, the
Speaker 2: beard and the hair and the defense in no particular order.
Speaker 2: But I don't know what he's proven necessarily as a
Speaker 2: head coach from a winning perspective. And Bronco Mendenhall, I
Speaker 2: like a lot but we're talking about the absolute height
Speaker 2: of his career thus far as a Power five Conference
Speaker 2: head coach is not necessarily recruiting on a high level,
Speaker 2: not necessarily winning a number of huge games. But he
Speaker 2: won a division. He won a division in the ACC,
Speaker 2: and it's fine. He's the coach.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with his ordering at all. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got Matt Campbell one, I have Bronco two.
Speaker 2: He's the culture winner here. Matt Campbell six star culture.
Speaker 1: Right, Christiball third, and Manny Diaz fourth. I take Campbell
Speaker 1: first because of the culture thing, because we've seen what
Speaker 1: he's done at Iowa State, where he's essentially doing more
Speaker 1: with less, and when you're starting up a program from scratch,
Speaker 1: there is an element to that that needs to be present,
Speaker 1: otherwise you're not going to go anywhere. Sure, the Bronco
Speaker 1: Mendenhall thing, to me, I think it follows a similar plight.
Speaker 1: He has slowly but steadily built up UVA. He had
Speaker 1: did a good job at his previous stop. We know
Speaker 1: about that. I feel like if given time to kind
Speaker 1: of organize the pieces, he could do a lot of
Speaker 1: the same stuff. He's not as flashy a name as
Speaker 1: a Matt Campbell, But there's a similarity there that I
Speaker 1: that I like Christiball. I have him. Third, I agree
Speaker 1: with your point. We've seen him at smaller schools either
Speaker 1: a great job at FIU when he was coaching there,
Speaker 1: and so there's definitely an element, that organizational element of
Speaker 1: being able to assemble the pieces. I tended to viewer
Speaker 1: more on the side of culture and kind of program
Speaker 1: building from the Matt Campbell aspect of things. Many dias
Speaker 1: I have. Last, what is the body of work with
Speaker 1: Manny Das outside of the hair, outside of the defense,
Speaker 1: well outside of a native of my like, what are
Speaker 1: we I would take any of the other three and
Speaker 1: put them one A when he.
Speaker 2: He's had success as a coordinator in different places.
Speaker 1: Many das would be like. Fifth for me, what are
Speaker 1: we going about Jim mcawayne, there's another m mac. I
Speaker 1: would take Macawayne over Manny Dz Macawayne over Manny. What's
Speaker 1: Manny done? I love him? I love the death like
Speaker 1: a brother. What's he done well?
Speaker 2: I mean, for first of all, you're just completely overlooking
Speaker 2: his time at Temple, ignoring it. I don't know. He's youthful, energetic,
Speaker 2: smart dude, comes across Farley Road. You know what, maybe
Speaker 2: you're just not you don't have to pay as much
Speaker 2: from any ideas, Maybe it's better bang for your buck.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man. If that's the case, he could
Speaker 1: probably get Bronco on the cheap. He would take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think of other m What other
Speaker 2: M head coaches could we evaluate here?
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 2: No, Triman is not a head coach. No, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm drawing a blank right now. All right, next question,
Speaker 2: next question. Also, he said which FBSM program will have
Speaker 2: the most wins? He picks Miami with ten.
Speaker 1: It's a good pick.
Speaker 2: Uh. So your options in terms of MS, so you
Speaker 2: have Marshall with the first year head coach, Maryland who
Speaker 2: seems to be improving a little bit, Memphis seems to
Speaker 2: be okay, Miami and Miami of Ohio, Michigan, Michigan State,
Speaker 2: Minnesota with Tanner Morgan is four hundred and fourteenth year
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, who I think people are weirdly high on.
Speaker 2: Have you really like the FPI has them like as
Speaker 2: a top twelve or fifteen team? Have you seen that?
Speaker 1: Look up? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I I don't know if I get it.
Speaker 2: The Football Power Index has Mississippi State, based on all
Speaker 2: sorts of different projections, as the number nine team in
Speaker 2: the country. Okay, maybe they're just high.
Speaker 1: That's one approach. That's one approach. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I subscribe to that. But I like the MISSOO yeah,
Speaker 1: I like the Miami pick. We talked about Miami's schedule
Speaker 1: on a previous episode. Yeah, Miami's got a very favorable schedule,
Speaker 1: So Miami with ten is is a good pick.
Speaker 2: Will Okay? UCLA versus LSU thoughts ooh early season matchup?
Speaker 1: Am I crazy for thinking that LSU blows out UCLA?
Speaker 2: I mean, you would have to explain yourself.
Speaker 1: September fourth, LSU was in a very weird spot during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. They had a lot of turnover.
Speaker 2: They were coming back.
Speaker 1: At the coming off a national championship, lose their generational quarterback.
Speaker 1: They had some guys who had opted out. There was
Speaker 1: turnover in the coaching staff as well. There was just
Speaker 1: there was a lot of newness, and I think given
Speaker 1: the fact that we had a pandemic going on, that
Speaker 1: there weren't any normal rhymes and rhythms to fall back
Speaker 1: on to build that team up before the season started.
Speaker 1: It makes sense to me that it would be a
Speaker 1: step back here. I'm surprised more teams didn't have a
Speaker 1: step back here. So I kind of take last year
Speaker 1: in a vacuum and I put it to the side.
Speaker 1: UCLA has gotten better over the course of time. I think,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel better about where they're at, sure,
Speaker 1: But when you ask me the question UCLA versus LSU,
Speaker 1: thoughts I think LSU might blow him out.
Speaker 2: Okay, LSU has a number of questions, right they have.
Speaker 2: They lose a couple guys key dudes on defense, but
Speaker 2: actually bring back a ton on defense. But this is
Speaker 2: also a defense that gave up a ton didn't get
Speaker 2: after the passer all that well last year offensively, questions
Speaker 2: at running back receiver After Boute, whoever starts at quarterback,
Speaker 2: either as coming back from major injury or will be
Speaker 2: a full time starter at quarterback, UCLA feels more established.
Speaker 2: They're not as talented, their ceiling isn't as high as LSU,
Speaker 2: but the game's at UCLA. Dtr is back Britain Brown
Speaker 2: has a number, has a good amount of experience, even
Speaker 2: though he's the new starting running back. They blitz the
Speaker 2: hell out of teams last year on defense, and so
Speaker 2: they at least have an identity. Greg Dulcich, I think
Speaker 2: is one of the better tight ends in the country
Speaker 2: for UCLA. And you're talking about Chip Kelly in year
Speaker 2: four and you in LSU with what co ordinators, new
Speaker 2: coordinators on each side of the ball, right, So there's
Speaker 2: there's a lot of newness to LSU that they could
Speaker 2: go on the road and not be on the same
Speaker 2: page early on in the season against at least a
Speaker 2: what we believe to be a dangerous enough UCLA team.
Speaker 2: It almost beat Oregon with a backup quarterback. Last year
Speaker 2: they lost in a shootout against sc They knocked on
Speaker 2: a lot of doors. So UCLA might be in a
Speaker 2: just a more solid place. And I still believe that
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly is a good coach. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I tend to think UCLA has a puncher shot here, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I feel the same. I I
Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong. I would love to see a close game.
Speaker 2: Look, you know, Derek Stingley and Eli Rix should be
Speaker 2: one of the better corner duos in the country. They're
Speaker 2: right up there. There's a lot to love about LSU,
Speaker 2: and Boute is a great receiver and he's sort of
Speaker 2: been in the shadows and didn't get the attention he
Speaker 2: probably should have last year because LSU struggled the way
Speaker 2: that they did on defense. But you know, I I
Speaker 2: like I like Max under center. If that's where he
Speaker 2: ends up. Can we go first name for Max? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it could be Miles Max or Miles speaking of MS.
Speaker 2: So no, I think the upside PELASU is obvious and
Speaker 2: I really hope that. Uh was it? Deronte Jones and
Speaker 2: Jake Pete's the new coordinators. So no, I I if
Speaker 2: that's a god? What is that line to you? UCLA
Speaker 2: hosting l SU L s I eight and a half?
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably maybe a little over a touchdown?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, if it were double digits, I would take
Speaker 2: those points quickly, all right. I can't imagine that early
Speaker 2: in the season will be double digits.
Speaker 1: Let's see here we go, ap app State versus Miami
Speaker 1: Week two? Is it a trap or a mismatch? Dan?
Speaker 2: Well, it would it? Would it be a letdown after
Speaker 2: Miami gets Alabama?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 2: Where is that game?
Speaker 1: I gotta believe that game in to Miami, but I'll
Speaker 1: look it up.
Speaker 2: Look it up. It does feel a little fine rappy
Speaker 2: to be hmm yeah. Probably with Appstay last year is
Speaker 2: their offense took a step back. I need to dig
Speaker 2: more into the Mountaineers to know what's going on with
Speaker 2: this year's squad. But they couldn't throw the ball like
Speaker 2: they were able to do in years past. I know
Speaker 2: they've been sort of more of a run first team,
Speaker 2: but the opportunities with an experienced quarterback seem to have
Speaker 2: been there, and they just they couldn't get really consistently
Speaker 2: going through the air. So there's a lot of the
Speaker 2: the attrition there. You know, having three head coaches in
Speaker 2: three years, that's just tough. So I like that they're
Speaker 2: gonna be on more solid ground this year. I think
Speaker 2: it's it's definitely a letdown spot for Miami after that
Speaker 2: Alabama game, no matter what happens totally.
Speaker 1: Now, I guess the caveat would be if Alabama blows
Speaker 1: out Miami the way they blow a lot of teams out,
Speaker 1: that game could be over early and we could find
Speaker 1: that Miami's starting to prepare for app State by like
Speaker 1: the second at half of that.
Speaker 2: Take it all out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but they're the opening four games for Miami
Speaker 1: in the month of September. Alabama neutral site game in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: app State back home the following week, Michigan State an
Speaker 1: interesting non con game the week after, and then who
Speaker 1: is a Central Carolina Central Connecticut? Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sen Con. Yeah, I guess a lot depends on
Speaker 2: on Derek King's health.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's a little trappy. Sure, probably a
Speaker 1: bit of a mismatch as well, maybe a little both.
Speaker 1: Next question, let's get to the cryptids question. You want
Speaker 1: to you want to ask that one sure.
Speaker 2: Which this was from, was a Brian bread buddy, Sorry,
Speaker 2: and it was a br bread buddy. Which mysterious cryptid
Speaker 2: would make the best college quarterback? Cryptid? Of course, is
Speaker 2: your locknest monster? YETI squatch Chupacabra, a mythical beast not
Speaker 2: confirmed to actually exist, a kraken. Do you have a
Speaker 2: list of cryptids in front of you?
Speaker 1: I do, I do, and I see the cracking in
Speaker 1: front of me. It has not been released.
Speaker 2: First, tell me what do you think, just in terms
Speaker 2: of attributes, tangibles, untangibles, intangibles makes for a good college quarterback?
Speaker 1: Well, I think The most basic thing is got to
Speaker 1: be able to stand upright and see over the offensive line.
Speaker 2: I think that's reasonable, but I'm willing to make exceptions
Speaker 2: for the right case. Continue.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm looking at a sea serpent, which looks
Speaker 1: like a big old snake, like a sea dragon of sorts.
Speaker 2: You gotta have a very specific system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it would almost have to be more
Speaker 1: of a navy ground based attack if you were going
Speaker 1: to go to the sea serpent route right or sea
Speaker 1: based attack. Yeah, yeah, so I'm not sure how that works.
Speaker 1: Definitely more of a system quarterback. If we're thinking in
Speaker 1: terms of sea serpents, the obvious one to me is
Speaker 1: something like a bigfoot, something like even a choop, a
Speaker 1: cabra which can walk.
Speaker 2: Subar Gabo's not bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a skunk ape, which I had never heard of
Speaker 1: before and looks ferocious. The yetti is we can have
Speaker 1: a conversation about the YETI may also be able to
Speaker 1: play linebacker depending on agility, or left tackle, depending on
Speaker 1: you know, how stable base we're talking about here, But
Speaker 1: I tend to color more inside the lines of we
Speaker 1: need a creature that walks on two legs.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm with you the problem with your abdominable snowman.
Speaker 2: YETI situation is they're built for the cold. Okay, what
Speaker 2: are you doing in Athens in early September? How you
Speaker 2: taking a yetti to baton rouge and expecting them to
Speaker 2: be able to compose themselves physically under all that fur.
Speaker 1: It's the big coolers. They have the coolers on the side.
Speaker 2: I know the mist Literally there's a cooler named Yet
Speaker 2: this is true. Uh, that worries me. The Chupacabra is
Speaker 2: interesting because you're talking about Mexico, Central America, so they're
Speaker 2: used to the heat. Though I think there's probably an
Speaker 2: over aggressive element to the chupacabra because you want poise,
Speaker 2: you want a studious gentleman behind center, and chupacabra is
Speaker 2: just it's just sneaking out in the night and eating goats,
Speaker 2: sucking their blood. So it's just I think there's there's
Speaker 2: too much aggression. You want that sort of a more
Speaker 2: measured player back there at quarterback. Skunk Cape is interesting
Speaker 2: to me. Ty I read the lore Florida based, so
Speaker 2: I like that. You like how Florida develops talent, and
Speaker 2: there was it's something about stalking sailors and fishermen. So
Speaker 2: there is that degree of concentration and focus from the
Speaker 2: skunk cape. Still again, I have not heard of the
Speaker 2: skun cape before today, but here there might have been
Speaker 2: a record label called skun Caape Records. That's the thing
Speaker 2: that jumps out to me. But yeah, so you're talking
Speaker 2: bipedal using using feet legs, So that element's interesting to me.
Speaker 2: I did not realize that every literally every lake has
Speaker 2: a lake monster. Yeah, in a descripted list, every lake
Speaker 2: has a lake monster. The kraken.
Speaker 1: The Kraken's interesting to be because I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: dude back there.
Speaker 2: It's how you want a dude?
Speaker 1: Well, you do want a dude. But here's the thing
Speaker 1: about the kraken. If the picture is to be believed,
Speaker 1: if the ancient folklore is to be believed about the kraken,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a super octopus with many different arms.
Speaker 1: And so I'm wondering, make all the throws, Maybe can
Speaker 1: make all the throws. Perhaps a bit of a noodle
Speaker 1: arm like, maybe a little bit of an embook back there.
Speaker 1: Don't know what his arm strength is, Okay, but I
Speaker 1: think we've got the opportunity for multiple simultaneous stiff arms,
Speaker 1: which could come in handy to keep defenders at arm's length,
Speaker 1: buying yourself time to make some sort of throwing motion
Speaker 1: down the field.
Speaker 2: Are we overthinking this and not going Bigfoot, who has
Speaker 2: proven to be able to navigate various terrains. We'll be
Speaker 2: able to see over the line. Maybe changed direction isn't there,
Speaker 2: but a number of large quarterbacks have succeeded college football.
Speaker 2: And beyond the Bigfoot is the Trevor Lawrence of this draft.
Speaker 1: I think it's more of a more of a short thing.
Speaker 1: I would say the cracking is probably more of a
Speaker 1: tree lance project type. You could work with that. There's
Speaker 1: a lot to like. The tools are there, you just
Speaker 1: need to figure out how best to assemble.
Speaker 2: Upside is absolutely there.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Okay, this is the best question we've
Speaker 1: gotten in a long time. Who sent the scene?
Speaker 2: Bread Buddy, Red Buddy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Okay, I do want to talk about this
Speaker 1: question here from Nick at the right bottom. Yep, he
Speaker 1: said I had never seen mo when the I Am
Speaker 1: Moana episode came out. Now, when it's on a song
Speaker 1: plays or someone mentions it, all I can think of
Speaker 1: is Tie yelling I Am Mowana can Tie host an
Speaker 1: optional series entitled I Am Mowana, where he just tells
Speaker 1: tales of overcoming his life's obstacles. Thank you, Nick, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Can we go Can we go back and
Speaker 1: turn the page to a very fond moment in solivable history.
Speaker 1: Sure you hated this show?
Speaker 2: Yeah, super much.
Speaker 1: You hated this show. I went back. I found it
Speaker 1: was two years ago that we did the show. If
Speaker 1: you can believe that me.
Speaker 2: Couldn't even tell you what saying I Am Mowana means
Speaker 2: as it relates to this show in college football.
Speaker 1: Your father of two? Have you seen the movie Mowana.
Speaker 1: I saw the movie Mowana before I became a father.
Speaker 1: At certain points, when people enjoy an animated movie, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna watch it, especially if it's Disney or Pixar,
Speaker 1: and I guess Pixar is Disney. But yeah, like I
Speaker 1: I watched Cocoa and Wally and Tattooy all these movies
Speaker 1: because they're just good movies. So I watched Molana, which
Speaker 1: I thought was good.
Speaker 2: I watched Frozen and it was not that good to me, Okay,
Speaker 2: but I did watch I want to enjoy it, I
Speaker 2: thought MAUI was fantastic. I thought, I thought Mowana was great.
Speaker 2: I thought the I forget what the crabs name is,
Speaker 2: but shiny and that was great.
Speaker 1: Keep the hot Disney takes separate from this. Maybe we
Speaker 1: could do that on an off topic show at some point.
Speaker 1: But the point of the Mowana show was that in
Speaker 1: the movie, Mowana is aspiring to be her true self. Yeah,
Speaker 1: her people are an island people. They're sort of nomads.
Speaker 1: They go from island to island, that's what they do.
Speaker 1: They live on the sea.
Speaker 2: But they they found home, and they found home and
Speaker 2: they were relegated to an island because they were scared
Speaker 2: to go out in Mount Mount Mountain, New something like that.
Speaker 1: Let's not get specific. I don't recall.
Speaker 2: I listened to the music a lot with a two
Speaker 2: year old right now, fair.
Speaker 1: Fair, But they were afraid to kind of venture beyond
Speaker 1: for circumstances, and Mowana took it upon herself to go
Speaker 1: out there, to be the adventurous type, to try full
Speaker 1: of the sea, to try and ye go out on
Speaker 1: the sea and and fix things. So the whole point
Speaker 1: of the episode was, in a college football sense, is
Speaker 1: this program bound for greatness or are they about as
Speaker 1: good as they're going to get? Are they stuck on
Speaker 1: their island now? Or can they go out and aspire
Speaker 1: for more. I don't understand why you don't get that concept.
Speaker 1: It was more of you making me say I am
Speaker 1: Mowana over and over again. I think I can live
Speaker 1: with that. I can live with that, but I stand
Speaker 1: by the concept. The concept was Okay, we've done far
Speaker 1: dumber concepts, so you.
Speaker 2: Want to you asking me to revisit and ask me
Speaker 2: which programs are Mowana? Right.
Speaker 1: No, we're not doing that right now. We don't have
Speaker 1: we don't have enough time for that. Maybe Mwana version
Speaker 1: two can come at some point of Friday this fall.
Speaker 1: To answer next question, I'm not going to be doing
Speaker 1: a limited run series on Mowana. I'm just not going
Speaker 1: to do that. But I did want to take this
Speaker 1: opportunity to see if I could cut to the core
Speaker 1: of why you hated that show as much as you did.
Speaker 1: And I think we have our answer now, so I'm
Speaker 1: ready to move on. Well, it's just it.
Speaker 2: Was basically because you made me say, like, yes, Tye,
Speaker 2: Michigan State is Moana something like that, over and over again.
Speaker 1: Listen, we got a lot of hours to fill over
Speaker 1: the course of a year. Here I do this college
Speaker 1: football show. So next question, my mother's Day. We let's
Speaker 1: go through some Mother's day questions. Alex wants to know
Speaker 1: best breakfast in bed foods to serve for Mother's Day. Ty,
Speaker 1: you have a mother, I do you wish you a
Speaker 1: happy Mother's Day? I do, yep.
Speaker 2: If you were to deliver breakfast in bed tomama, h
Speaker 2: what would it be when? And generally speaking, what category
Speaker 2: of foods makes the most sense?
Speaker 1: Wow, breakfast foods, obviously, thank you, Ty, breakfast.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for that insight. Be specific.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the egg genus.
Speaker 2: You know, I make a wonderful omelet almost not a
Speaker 2: bad answer, So for me, it's omelet, one of my
Speaker 2: patented omelets.
Speaker 1: We can throw a bunch of toppings in there. You
Speaker 1: gotta try and garnish with some fruit, maybe some strawberries,
Speaker 1: and then I guess it depends what else Mom is
Speaker 1: into to throw some bacon on there if you want.
Speaker 1: I don't know how all that plays is like a
Speaker 1: breakfast in bed food with the grease, but it's an
Speaker 1: option thing.
Speaker 2: So you start bringing berries into the mix. You start
Speaker 2: bringing greasier foods into the mix and they become threats
Speaker 2: to the bedding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you feel about hash browns.
Speaker 2: I think they're delicious. I just don't know if they're
Speaker 2: breakfast in bed food. I haven't answer. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 2: a it's a minimal threat, but it's a threat to
Speaker 2: the bedding. I would go just to uh to get
Speaker 2: whoever you're serving in bed if it's like your wife
Speaker 2: because you have a kid, or it's your mother, whoever,
Speaker 2: and you're a little kid and bringing I think cinnamon
Speaker 2: rolls are the move, cinnamon rolls and coffee.
Speaker 1: Because your cinnamon rolls are sticky. What if that gets
Speaker 1: on the bedding.
Speaker 2: There are cinnamon rolls that you could do, maybe just
Speaker 2: icing on the top instead of all the way around
Speaker 2: the perimeter.
Speaker 1: That seems like a mess waiting to happen.
Speaker 2: It's it's a potential mess. But you have the tray.
Speaker 2: You have a tray in front of you, and you
Speaker 2: set the stage really well with the smell of cinnamon
Speaker 2: rolls baking in the oven. You can go pills Berry,
Speaker 2: you can go homemade. It doesn't matter because it's about
Speaker 2: the smell and It's about the effort. So I would
Speaker 2: say coffee and cinnamon rolls.
Speaker 1: Could you do waffles?
Speaker 2: You could? But are you Are you going berry? Are
Speaker 2: you going powdered sugar? Are you going syrup?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think syrup. Syrup is more of a wild card
Speaker 2: than icing. Syrup doesn't syrup runs, I think more than
Speaker 2: icing tends to on a no, it hardens on the
Speaker 2: Simon roll.
Speaker 1: I think what we're getting at here is that breakfast
Speaker 1: in bed may be overrated.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would love to be served breakfast with it.
Speaker 2: I'm totally good with it.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Next question in honor of single to my Oh Joey,
Speaker 2: we'll do more Mother's Day too? Keso or guacamole. The
Speaker 2: correct answer is both, obviously, but you have to pick one.
Speaker 2: What are you going with? You're going keso and i'll
Speaker 2: you know, any sort of insertion into the keso chorizo?
Speaker 2: What have you counts? Terza, queso or guak?
Speaker 1: I think I go keeso.
Speaker 2: Hmm, yeah, may go go guak.
Speaker 1: I go keso, but personal pref Yeah, yeah, I'm good
Speaker 1: with both, but I probably go keeso.
Speaker 2: The only difference with kso is you got to attack
Speaker 2: it early. Because once it hardens, that's that Yep. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that's that's sort of the shelf life of k
Speaker 2: So Dan Clobocar, what are your thoughts on mud Vein's
Speaker 2: reunion tour, because it's an m I knew mud Vein,
Speaker 2: like vaguely. I knew that they were kind of a
Speaker 2: dress up metal new metal band that peaked in the
Speaker 2: early two thousands, late nineties, but it took me going
Speaker 2: back and researching to confirm. And I don't think I
Speaker 2: knew the mud Vein sauce. I don't have any mud
Speaker 2: Vein reunion thoughts. Should I get my mom an outdoor
Speaker 2: speaker from Mother's Day? There's not like thought in that.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's a great Mother's Day gift,
Speaker 1: that's a great Father's Day gift.
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. I mean that's generalizing that dads are
Speaker 2: going to like electronics more. I think dads are just
Speaker 2: tend to be dumber about appreciating stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I think that's my point.
Speaker 2: I tend to go more personal with a Mother's Day gift, pictures, frames, Bombus,
Speaker 2: experience bomb us of course, of course, of course, I
Speaker 2: think it's fine. I mean I don't know your mom,
Speaker 2: so maybe your mom's into bluetooth electronics. I think it's fine.
Speaker 2: I think it's the gesture that counts. I'll say this
Speaker 2: walk today. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've tried to get mama h electronics for maybe five
Speaker 1: years running.
Speaker 2: Now has any of it been successful?
Speaker 1: Marginally?
Speaker 2: It's tough. You know what you're doing. When you give
Speaker 2: the gift of something digital to a parent, says a
Speaker 2: good chance that you are teaching, reteaching, trouble shooting, fixing, restarting,
Speaker 2: tech programming, you become tech support. You're signing up for
Speaker 2: tech support.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have tried the technology angle several years running now. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had the most success when I bought a basket
Speaker 1: of Italian things, Italian foods, delicacies, of Italian iPads off
Speaker 1: Amazon and gave that instead just a gift basket of
Speaker 1: Italian food stuff was received better than any or all
Speaker 1: of the electronics that I've gotten. Mom age.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, in my, if not our personal experience,
Speaker 2: go with what you know they already like instead of
Speaker 2: what you think they'll like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, next, qu I think that's tough.
Speaker 2: Easiest way to make homemade Mexican food better. Alexander wants
Speaker 2: to know on this Sinco to mayo tie all you
Speaker 2: jims and tricks you make Mexican food. Sometimes I do,
Speaker 2: but usually I just ask you so you're up. If
Speaker 2: you have a local Mexican grocery store, I would go
Speaker 2: there for great fresh ingredients like perhaps dried peppers that
Speaker 2: you could reconstitute for sauces, salsas, marinades, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: That makes a pretty huge difference. You can learn about
Speaker 2: spice levels and flavors pretty easily with Google, whether it's
Speaker 2: you know, a cho chilis or Wahio stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Even in your chilies a base of reconstituted peppers like
Speaker 2: as a pure it's fantastic. Go to those Mexican markets
Speaker 2: and uh, I think that's sort of it in terms
Speaker 2: of making it better. It just anytime you can use
Speaker 2: your own sauces or salsas that you can. I mean,
Speaker 2: we talked about this last summer a little bit, right
Speaker 2: with the making of the homemade salsa. True, it's such
Speaker 2: a difference maker instead of buying jarred elements to Mexican food,
Speaker 2: and especially at those Mexican markets, if there's a local
Speaker 2: place that makes tortillas, a local Mexican bakery that makes
Speaker 2: tortillas that's huge. Throw them just straight right onto the
Speaker 2: to the stove to crisp them up on over medium
Speaker 2: heat and flip it with the tongs real quick and
Speaker 2: crisp up your tortillas that way that tends to soften
Speaker 2: and crisp them up. That makes sense At the same time,
Speaker 2: I think that's a difference maker. But no, it's just
Speaker 2: going to where the Mexican food is best and looking
Speaker 2: how you can use those elements. Because yes, if you
Speaker 2: make an enchi lotta sauce out of like a wahio
Speaker 2: pepper pure or whatever. This sounds like I'm being what
Speaker 2: was that word snobby? So g g u A j
Speaker 2: I l l o wahl wah heel whatever, it makes
Speaker 2: a difference. It just makes a difference those peppers. Making
Speaker 2: your own sauce and making your own sauces, that would
Speaker 2: that would make a big difference. Next question, Ty, do
Speaker 2: you have any more Mother's Day questions that you want
Speaker 2: to touch on?
Speaker 1: No, this question from Tom here. I must admit that
Speaker 1: initially I read it as mole instead of molay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's your best mole experience? Like when you're
Speaker 2: infiltrating an organization.
Speaker 1: Right, that was my first thought, Like I'm in twenty
Speaker 1: four back in the familiar with molay.
Speaker 2: Familiar Malay. Yeah, Yeah, it's delicious, very good. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's it can be somewhat complicated to make, so you know,
Speaker 2: it can be like an overnight sauce or take a
Speaker 2: week to make stuff like that because it's really really
Speaker 2: slowly reduced sauce. I had a great molay experience in
Speaker 2: Mexico City at a super nice restaurant there where they've
Speaker 2: been adding to their what they called Madre Molay to
Speaker 2: keep your Mother's Day thing, Madre Moley, So it's they
Speaker 2: they've been sort of feeding that molay for like ten
Speaker 2: years something like that. So that's the ceiling for my
Speaker 2: Moley experience. And you know, people think that moley is
Speaker 2: sweet because it has chocolate, but I think it's generally
Speaker 2: unsweetened chocolate. So it just adds some good body to it.
Speaker 2: I was just He's asking, Tom's asking how to get
Speaker 2: somebody to try moley or try to make molly for
Speaker 2: the first time. Just dive in. Anytime you're gonna cook
Speaker 2: something for the first time, it's likely going to be underwhelming.
Speaker 2: You just gotta keep doing it. You just gotta you
Speaker 2: gotta build up those reps.
Speaker 1: Share any tips for someone trying to make Molly for
Speaker 1: the first time. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have no tips.
Speaker 1: I have no tips. Just keep keep.
Speaker 2: Practicing, real sugar, Shane. My wife is soon to be
Speaker 2: is a soon to be mother in the fall. Best
Speaker 2: first Mother's Day gift idea? So we're talking about next
Speaker 2: Mother's Day or gift for your wife this fall when
Speaker 2: she becomes a mother.
Speaker 1: Right, I think he's saying, just for first Mother's Day gift,
Speaker 1: whether it's this year or next. What did you do
Speaker 1: for Jody with an eye? I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Well, I have no idea because I think the timing
Speaker 2: was such where the solid toddler was born in late January,
Speaker 2: So I don't know if we knew the Mother's Day
Speaker 2: before then. I'm not positive we did. It's possible it
Speaker 2: was just so early on in the process that we
Speaker 2: weren't fully ensconced in preparing to be parents, so it
Speaker 2: would have been the first Mother's Day and the first
Speaker 2: Mother's Day. I remember I got her a picture of
Speaker 2: my mother in law holding Jody when Jody was a baby,
Speaker 2: and we had inadvertently taken a very similar picture of
Speaker 2: Jody holding the solid toddler when he was quite young,
Speaker 2: and I got a double picture frame, right, so could
Speaker 2: put those sort of side by side.
Speaker 1: A generational type play is what you a.
Speaker 2: Total generational nostalgia type play. And it landed very well,
Speaker 2: a nice card and that so steal that idea by
Speaker 2: all means it went over really well. So that's what
Speaker 2: I did for the first one. So that's what I
Speaker 2: would recommend. I had recommendations for what you can get
Speaker 2: your wife this fall as the date approaches, but that's
Speaker 2: not really Mother's Day yet.
Speaker 1: Would not suggest the outdoor speaker in case you're wondering
Speaker 1: for this occasion.
Speaker 2: If she's super into immersive outdoor sound, then that becomes
Speaker 2: very thoughtful.
Speaker 1: I like giving the gift of electronics. You know this.
Speaker 1: That would not be my first preference here. Just got to.
Speaker 2: Say you, what are you getting Mama hed this year?
Speaker 2: Have car sided yet?
Speaker 1: Have not decided yet.
Speaker 2: She's probably listening, so you probably can't give too much away.
Speaker 1: No, there's nothing to giveaway. I haven't purchased it yet.
Speaker 1: I do this every year. I tell myself at the
Speaker 1: beginning of April, that Mother's Day is right around the corner,
Speaker 1: and I should probably get my thoughts together and purchase
Speaker 1: a gift, And inevitably I'm searching on Amazon for what
Speaker 1: I could get via Amazon Prime two days or less.
Speaker 2: Would she find it funny if you gave her a
Speaker 2: giant framed print of yourself at like a department store,
Speaker 2: like a formal pose at like a you know, a
Speaker 2: Sears JC Penny type and you gave it to her
Speaker 2: in like eighteen framed eighteen by twenty four like now,
Speaker 2: like you would go now and do it like an
Speaker 2: old milstep brother's photo. Yes, yeah, absolutely, I think she
Speaker 2: was something she'd be into, kind of a goof, I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she would interpret that as a goof.
Speaker 2: Dan she just like, it's my it's my beautiful.
Speaker 1: I think that would be her reaction. Yeah, Okay, I
Speaker 1: could try it. I I don't really have any desire to,
Speaker 1: but about now, that's the best idea I have. What
Speaker 1: are you doing for Mama root?
Speaker 2: Oh man, oh, I have no idea. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: She's here now, but she won't be here for Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: She'll leave him before then she and my dad. I
Speaker 2: I don't know. See then you don't got to see
Speaker 2: I have I have Mama Rubinstein, I have Jody with
Speaker 2: and I right, and so her first Mother's Day is
Speaker 2: a mother of two. So I should probably get on that.
Speaker 1: Will you do the thing where you get a gift
Speaker 1: from each of the kids or are you going to
Speaker 1: do one big group thing.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's got to be just everybody for themselves.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you.
Speaker 2: Know what else you could do? Ti, Oh, this would
Speaker 2: be great. You have the good camera that you're using
Speaker 2: right now, the sony that we use. You get solid
Speaker 2: wife Kate to take a headshot type picture of you,
Speaker 2: you know, the blurry background and like something that you
Speaker 2: would see on the wall of a eye cleaners. You've
Speaker 2: seen those before where they have like the celebrities signing.
Speaker 2: So you get a headshot of yourself and you design
Speaker 2: it and so it says like tie hildon Brandt, the
Speaker 2: solid verbal SI on campus whatever, like your credits like
Speaker 2: TV's mash and you sign it and frame it and
Speaker 2: give it to your mom. Wow, that is she can
Speaker 2: put on her wall.
Speaker 1: That's an extremely self absorbed Mother's Stay gift.
Speaker 2: It's so incredibly self absorbed.
Speaker 1: You get your.
Speaker 2: Mom a custom headshot of yourself and you sign it
Speaker 2: over and it's glossy and framed and it just can
Speaker 2: go in her breakfast nook.
Speaker 1: Yeah that might be a little much, but ah, it
Speaker 1: may be the best idea I have at the moment.
Speaker 2: So we did those. I did those with my roommates
Speaker 2: when I had roommates in California. We each took headshot
Speaker 2: photos exclusively so we could sign them and put it
Speaker 2: on our wall in our apartment. Right, So I think
Speaker 2: you should take the idea. Yeah, I think you know,
Speaker 2: West Coast Kevin a great one. Next one. Any other
Speaker 2: questions ty that jump out to you? Nothing, No, I'm
Speaker 2: fresh at it. I'm fresh out any more. LSU thoughts,
Speaker 2: Can they get to ten wins? Maybe put up open
Speaker 2: up their schedule, as we're going to close with LSU.
Speaker 2: Can canels you get to ten wins this year? The
Speaker 2: best of LSU two new coordinators. Here's a situation in flux. Yeah.
Speaker 1: LSU starts the year at UCLA.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

Speaker 1: home against the McNeese Cowboys and the Central Michigan chip
Speaker 1: Awas Classic LSU non conference games.

Speaker 2: we'll call it four and one. At Kentucky one, we'll
Speaker 2: call it five and one. Back home against the Florida Gators. Dan,
Speaker 2: Florida is starting over in a lot of key spots. Yeah,
Speaker 2: literally threw that game away last year the Florida Gators did.
Speaker 2: Don't trust quarterback right now with Florida, I need to
Speaker 2: see something losing a lot of key contributors. Recruiting has
Speaker 2: been fine, but not overwhelming. Okay, I'm willing to say
Speaker 2: six and one.
Speaker 1: At Ole Miss.
Speaker 2: Crazy game last year.
Speaker 1: I'll say six and two at Alabama that's a loss.
Speaker 2: So there's your ten win loss. That's six and three.
Speaker 1: Then Arkansas ULM and Texas A and M to close

Speaker 2: Dan, I'm looking to see if any more questions. I
Speaker 2: don't want any bad ones, best groomsman gifts that doesn't
Speaker 2: decid feel like a Mother's Day question? Or mouthkin really
Speaker 2: isn't hard versus soft tacos. Somebody asked about how to
Speaker 2: know when your soft taco is filled adequately. If you
Speaker 2: imagine a tortilla as the Oregon logo and as the
Speaker 2: outer part of the O. I wouldn't go beyond the
Speaker 2: inner part of the O with your fillings because once
Speaker 2: you fold it, you know you want you don't want
Speaker 2: it to overstretch. That's all I have. I think we
Speaker 2: got to the best ones. I'm good, Daniel. You enjoy
Speaker 2: your weekend, Hey, Ty, you very much do the same.
Speaker 1: We have.
Speaker 2: So now what beginning next week?
Speaker 1: So now what starts next week? It is our deep
Speaker 1: dive inside the season that was in twenty twenty. We've
Speaker 1: got our first one. Yeah, we've got our first one
Speaker 1: coming up on Tuesday, where we are going to talk
Speaker 1: about the conference decision making that led to this awkward,
Speaker 1: oblong college football season, pandemic laden college football season in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. You'll really recall the Big Ten pulled the
Speaker 1: plug on its season and plugged it back in. What
Speaker 1: was the story on that? What happened there?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: How did that happen? We talked to some of our
Speaker 1: favorite reporters and friends to find out, and then as
Speaker 1: Part two rolls along a little bit later in the week,
Speaker 1: we're going to try and figure out, like what do
Speaker 1: we learn from that experience and the way that conferences
Speaker 1: made their decisions, from the way that they communicated out
Speaker 1: with the public, not just the public, but with member schools,
Speaker 1: with players, with coaches, etc. Etc.
Speaker 2: The internal politics of conferences were put on display in
Speaker 2: a way I don't think they were in years past exactly.
Speaker 1: So we're going to start there and then we've got
Speaker 1: other subjects that we're going to branch out into. Hope
Speaker 1: you'll join us next week again. So now what is
Speaker 1: going to kick off on Tuesday? Dan? Yes, can't wait
Speaker 1: for that guy over there and my good friend Dan Rubinstein.
Speaker 1: For myself, Ty Hildebrand, thank you so very much for downloading,
Speaker 1: for listening, for watching along at forballers dot com. We
Speaker 1: will talk to you all next week. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: Jul your weekends, Stay safe, stay solid.
Speaker 2: Peace,
