Speaker 1: Welcome back to the solid Harbub, boys and girls. My
Speaker 1: name is ty Hildenbrand. Joining me over there in New
Speaker 1: York City my good friend Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm excited for people to hear this show
Speaker 2: and hear the good times they either were able to
Speaker 2: enjoy in person and relive them or hear what they
Speaker 2: missed out on, especially since the fact is they don't
Speaker 2: get to hear the Q and A part that's for
Speaker 2: live people only.
Speaker 1: The Q and A part is the live show exclusive.
Speaker 1: But the audio that we've posted for everyone to hear
Speaker 1: today is the recording from our Atlanta live show. We
Speaker 1: did it on Saturday, January the sixth. It was a
Speaker 1: Saturday evening before the National Championship. We packed folks in.
Speaker 1: It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but I think,
Speaker 1: as you'll hear from the audio recording, just a good
Speaker 1: time all around. This is maybe my favorite recording we've
Speaker 1: ever done, certainly my favorite live show.
Speaker 2: And I will add because people can't tell by listening
Speaker 2: to this. When we showed up, we had to set
Speaker 2: everything up, yes, so everybody was very nice. It was
Speaker 2: a pretty empty venue when we arrived so we were
Speaker 2: setting up chairs wild Tie, and I say we by
Speaker 2: whoever was there with me. Ty was just he unzipped
Speaker 2: his backpack and produced an entire live show and set
Speaker 2: everything up in about twenty minutes. So what you're hearing
Speaker 2: is pretty excellent all things considered, and it speaks to
Speaker 2: your wizardry. And yeah, just echuing. We had a fantastic time.
Speaker 2: We went out afterwards to a local bar with a
Speaker 2: bunch of people who were at the show. Media friends
Speaker 2: came out. I cannot stress enough how grateful we are
Speaker 2: for everybody who showed up, who had a great time,
Speaker 2: who you know, we were able to talk to and
Speaker 2: hear about their college football lives. It truly and I
Speaker 2: know I'm speaking for you Tie here, but it was.
Speaker 2: We were very grateful for everybody that made that evening pretty.
Speaker 1: Special, absolutely good times all around. We appreciate everyone who
Speaker 1: not only stopped by, but people who meetia friends who
Speaker 1: came on up and again helped add to the flavor
Speaker 1: of what it was.
Speaker 2: We were trying to do.
Speaker 1: More on that in a second, but very quickly. If
Speaker 1: you're a new listener, if you don't know what we're
Speaker 1: all about here in the off season. Just because the
Speaker 1: college football season is over does not mean we stop podcasting.
Speaker 1: Dan and I will be producing at a minimum one
Speaker 1: show a week, usually every Wednesday. You can tune back
Speaker 1: into your podcast aggregator, to our website, to any of
Speaker 1: our social channels and find more about what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We put a call out on Twitter and Facebook and
Speaker 1: some other places try and get some feedback on what
Speaker 1: people liked last off season where we might head this offseason.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 2: The responses were pretty universal in that people really like
Speaker 2: nerding out in some form, whether it was the how
Speaker 2: college football works, which we have an episode ready to
Speaker 2: go correct correct, We have an episode that'll be if
Speaker 2: I had to guess the next two or three weeks
Speaker 2: that is correct, yep, ready to go, which I think
Speaker 2: maybe are nerdiest that we've done. Pretty happy about that,
Speaker 2: So scheme stuff people really want to hear more of,
Speaker 2: and we can certainly accommodate that. I think we're going
Speaker 2: to as in the next few weeks. I think figure
Speaker 2: out a way to look back on the season, because
Speaker 2: everything moves so quickly and there are so many games,
Speaker 2: sort of figure out where teams went right and went wrong.
Speaker 2: So obviously there's a ton of material to go over
Speaker 2: and figure things out. We've got the second signing day
Speaker 2: coming up here in two or three weeks as well,
Speaker 2: so we'll be talking about that. We have Q and
Speaker 2: a's throughout the off season. We'll have you know, off
Speaker 2: college football. You know, it'll be ninety eight percent college football.
Speaker 2: But sometimes anytime I'll make this promise Ti. Anytime we
Speaker 2: do a non college football show which I find to
Speaker 2: be particularly fun, like our Secret Garbage Bracket that we
Speaker 2: did last year, our nineties video game show that we
Speaker 2: did with Bill Barnwell, I will make this promise there
Speaker 2: will be a second episode that week that has to
Speaker 2: do with football, be it a Q and A, be
Speaker 2: it whatever. We will have that second to sort of
Speaker 2: pair with it. Because we care Tie.
Speaker 1: Please do if you have any feedback, if you want to,
Speaker 1: let us know on Facebook or Twitter, or even email
Speaker 1: us at soliverble at gmail dot com. We've got a
Speaker 1: bunch of new things in the pipeline over the next
Speaker 1: couple months. Whether it's a show, whether it's something in
Speaker 1: the tech space. We're working on all sorts of little
Speaker 1: things here in the labs. So reach on out let
Speaker 1: us know what is on your mind, and don't forget.
Speaker 1: You can tune in at a minimum every Wednesday we'll
Speaker 1: be putting out a brand new podcast, So keep it
Speaker 1: right here if you're into the verbal, if you're into
Speaker 1: college football, we will do our best over the doldrums
Speaker 1: of the college footble off season to keep y'all entertained. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: what is this show we're about to put forth? This?
Speaker 2: This is our live show from Atlanta, Ty. This is
Speaker 2: what we did was we constructed a high school yearbook
Speaker 2: version of a look back onto the twenty seventeen that's right,
Speaker 2: the twenty seventeen season, so we have superlatives. We looked
Speaker 2: across college football fan bases to figure out which clicks
Speaker 2: various fan bases fit into, and we just generally had
Speaker 2: fun figuring out how, you know, September through early January
Speaker 2: fits into a twenty seventeen version of a nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: eight high school yearbook. It was a ton of fun.
Speaker 1: We worked right up until yeah, we hit record to
Speaker 1: get this in good working order. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: again to everyone who came out to the show who
Speaker 1: expressed interest in the show. There will be a live
Speaker 1: show later in the year. We're going to do fantasy
Speaker 1: things again out on the road in a different city,
Speaker 1: one that we haven't visited yet, and we'll probably do
Speaker 1: a live show. I'm thinking on the West Coast next
Speaker 1: year for the national championship.
Speaker 2: Is WESH Best Coast National Championship. I can feel it already.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you one question before we play the episode?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Did you leave in the part? And this is all
Speaker 2: about transparency, did you leave in the part at the
Speaker 2: very very very end of the show, right before the
Speaker 2: Q and A where you asked the audience for a
Speaker 2: round of applause? Yes, I left it in.
Speaker 1: It wasn't what I meant. I wasn't trying to be boorish.
Speaker 2: I liked it that sort of the way. I just
Speaker 2: wanted you wanted a natural conclusion to the recorded part
Speaker 2: of the show.
Speaker 1: Without further ado, Dan, here is the Atlanta Live Show.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the solid Verbo call that for me, I'm.
Speaker 1: A man, friends, family, and loyal over Bawlers. The season
Speaker 1: is coming to an end, but we will never ever
Speaker 1: forget the lasting friendships we made and the special memories
Speaker 1: we shared. Put your hands together for Tie and Dan.

Speaker 2: good news.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, no, tye okay with that, I feel great.
Speaker 1: So what are we doing here tonight? Well, tonight, we
Speaker 1: have a huge following in Atlanta, as evidenced by our
Speaker 1: crowd here this evening. Another who would rather watch us
Speaker 1: than NFL football, which, obviously, and as you know, one
Speaker 1: of the things people who have listened to the show
Speaker 1: for a long time now, we have done for as
Speaker 1: many years as I can remember, something we call the Verbies,
Speaker 1: which is our own little award show that we invented
Speaker 1: because we would just wanted to invent our own award show.
Speaker 1: We forgot to take a vote this year, We're doing
Speaker 1: something new. We're doing something new, So we thought this
Speaker 1: would be ample opportunity to maybe.
Speaker 2: Put something new together, kind of in the.
Speaker 1: Spirit of the verbies, but at the same time not
Speaker 1: quite the actual verbies. Right.
Speaker 2: So we are doing we are We're putting together a
Speaker 2: high school yearbook. We are dorks who graduated high school
Speaker 2: in oh Man. You're older than I am, aren't you.
Speaker 2: I am a little benty ninety nine.
Speaker 1: I graduated two thousand Okay, I graduated in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one. And as you can tell, this is just stylist.
Speaker 1: This is just this is good design right here. So
Speaker 1: we have a high school yearbook. We have superlatives, we
Speaker 1: have clicks, we have we're going through. I'm gonna write
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable message and sign it at the end. Now

Speaker 2: and mysonic like you know where this is going, like
Speaker 2: this is there's nothing accidental, So we have a lot
Speaker 2: in store for you, and it was I had a
Speaker 2: good time this season, ty, I had a great celebrating.
Speaker 1: And you know, part of what you find when you
Speaker 1: go through and exercise like this and you try to
Speaker 1: figure out, all right, what are our yearbooks of perlatives,
Speaker 1: you realize what the real nuance of.
Speaker 2: The season is, what the goofiness, where the.
Speaker 1: Goofiness was, and the things that really gave us the
Speaker 1: most enjoyment, not just from people who emailed in or
Speaker 1: called in or were part of the show in some capacity,
Speaker 1: but just the stuff that you and I enjoyed. You know,
Speaker 1: not everyone gets to hear the cutting room floor the
Speaker 1: way that we do, and the stuff that that we
Speaker 1: tend to enjoy the most is what we also cut
Speaker 1: the most because we realize we can't fill up an
Speaker 1: entire show talking about Josh Rosen in his hot takes.
Speaker 2: I am too, but that's I don't know if everybody
Speaker 2: else is true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know people in Atlanta love UCLA. That
Speaker 1: is the obvious.
Speaker 2: Clearly, this is this is a hot bruined town. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we had a lot of fun putting this together.
Speaker 1: We hope everyone's comfortable. By a show of hands, if
Speaker 1: we could how many people are here against their will.
Speaker 1: We got one shout out that was shout out here,
Speaker 1: shout out here.
Speaker 2: Those were very Are you guys comfortable? Can we get
Speaker 2: you anything now? We have two spare bottles of shiner
Speaker 2: Bock in the back. Yeah. Yeah, oh, Ty and I
Speaker 2: have already started. Yeah, we started, we started. Well. Thank
Speaker 2: you to everybody for coming.
Speaker 1: Our goal tonight is to not just do a show
Speaker 1: for the people who listen to us regularly, but also
Speaker 1: make it fun for everybody involved here this evening, So
Speaker 1: thank you to everyone for coming in. We know it's
Speaker 1: a little antra space, it might get a little bit warm,
Speaker 1: but the folks here at Switchyards have done a good
Speaker 1: job getting as many seats in here as we can,
Speaker 1: and we promised to try and make it as fun
Speaker 1: as we can for you over the next our hour
Speaker 1: and fifteen or so, and then typically what we'll do,
Speaker 1: as we've done on all of our live shows after
Speaker 1: about an hour and fifteen will essentially cut the recording.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: We've got some microphones here and too hot for podcast.
Speaker 2: That's right, too hot for pod, too hot for pod. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we will, we will take some Q and A people,
Speaker 2: so well enjoy it and I should mention. As soon
Speaker 2: as we settled on the fact that we're going to
Speaker 2: do a high school yearbook, I immediately said, ooh, I'm
Speaker 2: going to make a presentation and so oo first he said, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to fire a PowerPoint. He's like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: I'm going so creamium software people. This is a new
Speaker 2: technical challenge. Yeah, so why should we get into it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do this all right, So everybody, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's got a year book, hopefully I would assume here
Speaker 1: in attendance. You know how it works. We'll start off
Speaker 1: with a very easy one here. Yeah, most likely to succeed.
Speaker 1: Every yearbook I've ever seen in my entire life has
Speaker 1: a most likely to succeed.
Speaker 2: What are the defining qualities?
Speaker 1: This is an easy question, the defining qualities of most
Speaker 1: likely to succeed?
Speaker 2: Sure, who in college football would fit that billing? I
Speaker 2: mean younger players showing potential early on that they're going
Speaker 2: to be around for a while. They'll be household names
Speaker 2: if they already aren't right and that you know, look
Speaker 2: at this this electric personality, smart subbling about arming. Sure,
Speaker 2: absolutely they're going to be a household name what yes,
Speaker 2: look at this animating people. What if we went on
Speaker 2: the older Yeah, so, I mean we could have a
Speaker 2: spectrum there, right. We could have said Khalil Tate, Jonathan
Speaker 2: Taylor tailback, We could have said JK.
Speaker 4: Dobb J.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that, like all these people.
Speaker 1: Would have been so good for this, we picked Bill.
Speaker 1: We picked Bill Hancock in the hotel room yesterday about
Speaker 1: four thirty. We're so happy and we were, we were
Speaker 1: I was very happy. We were unanimous in Bill Hancock.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Bill Hancock, if you don't know, he is
Speaker 2: what the president of the CEO whatever, he is of
Speaker 2: the college football player PR figurehead. Yes, and so basically
Speaker 2: there was a BCS and everybody hated it, and he said, no,
Speaker 2: we're not having a playoff. It is logistically impossible. He
Speaker 2: was the head of the BCS.
Speaker 1: Sick and cocked any kind of playoffs because of school
Speaker 1: travel in class time. You don't want to miss class
Speaker 1: time in college football college ap I mean, no, guys,
Speaker 1: it's a problem. Okay, it's a real problem. So logistically speaking,
Speaker 1: this was this was a bugaboo. I love when you
Speaker 1: say that word, and then it became it became a
Speaker 1: pr thing, and miraculously within the span of about six
Speaker 1: to eight weeks to like, oh we can do a playoff.
Speaker 2: Sure, no problem, right, And then when people started saying
Speaker 2: you should have go to six, should have go to eight,
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, no, no, no no, we cannot
Speaker 2: ruin the sanctity read semi final matters.
Speaker 1: Our new tradition is four years old. We cannot ruin
Speaker 1: the sanctity of this tradition. As soon as we go
Speaker 1: to eight, who's gonna be in charge? Tie, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Bill hank as soon as we go to sixteen, Tie,
Speaker 1: who's gonna be in charge?
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be Bill Hancock.
Speaker 1: As soon as we have twenty teams on the field
Speaker 1: at the same time in a steelcage ladder college football
Speaker 1: match with a trophy, a top, no helmets, it's gonna no.
Speaker 2: Rule, It's gonna be the force ghost.
Speaker 1: Yes, Bill Handcock twenty seventy eight. Yes, Bill Hancock is
Speaker 1: in charge. That man will succeed. He will succeed. So,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Bill Hancock
Speaker 1: most likely.
Speaker 2: To succeed twenty seven feet? What do we have next?
Speaker 2: All right, so the next one? You know, oh there?
Speaker 2: It is not every.
Speaker 1: Yearbook has the drama king, right, but there's always some
Speaker 1: allusion to somebody.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we'll have a drama queen and that's not that's
Speaker 2: not right, just somebody who's oiled constantly in the drama.
Speaker 2: So our options? What were some of the options we
Speaker 2: kicked around for this one? Oh my god? What did
Speaker 2: we kick around so for drama? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I mean we had I mean I
Speaker 1: was selfishly going in the Notre Dame direction with right
Speaker 1: of course, you know that was more tie hildon Brandt.
Speaker 2: It was anything Notre Dame. Right.
Speaker 1: We had were in Georgia country and Notre Dame lost out.
Speaker 1: That's what happens, that is, that's what happens.
Speaker 2: We got claps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a bunch that we sort of selected from.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna use Jim Harbi here? You can use
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin here.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: We talked about a number of things, but we settled
Speaker 2: on something, uh sort of more. Yeah, there is. So
Speaker 2: here's a totally out of context quote from earlier today
Speaker 2: or yesterday, ty Hildon Brent, I can't stop staring at
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's crutch. That's true. Context, No, that's true. Accurate,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 1: So I laughed for a good fifteen straight minutes when
Speaker 1: I found that picture. I'm surprised you didn't use the
Speaker 1: blurred out one, which was so much funnier.
Speaker 2: Well, his mouth is blurred out. O his mouth is okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: so important.
Speaker 1: So Baker Mayfield for those who aren't familiar with Baker Mayfield, yeah,
Speaker 1: Baker runs a little hot. He does, he does, runs
Speaker 1: a little hot. You don't play Kansas and just stay cool. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is not playing Solitaire on his laptop.
Speaker 2: So we have the Pretender signed from the Rose Bowl
Speaker 2: because that's what Lee Corso called him in August memory,
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: And when an old man slights you, Yeah, that's the moment.
Speaker 1: That's the moment. I can't stand for this, right, that's
Speaker 1: the moment. So we got the pretenders and then we
Speaker 1: got the flag plant in the middle, which was an
Speaker 1: iconic moment.
Speaker 2: Week two college.
Speaker 1: Football, Oklahoma goes on the road to Columbus a big win, right,
Speaker 1: they don't win that game. Clearly they're not in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but that was a defining moment for Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2: He has a great game all as well. Everyone's excited.
Speaker 1: He comes back out after clearly a pre plaan stunt
Speaker 1: and decides he's just going to drop the Oklahoma the
Speaker 1: ou right in the middle and everyone's dancing around him
Speaker 1: and just kind of in a vacuum.
Speaker 2: I was for it, Yeah, of course I was fine
Speaker 2: with them. Yeah. And because of Ohio law, he's now
Speaker 2: a state senator. He has planted the flag and so
Speaker 2: that's he's very busy with a lot of elections. So no,
Speaker 2: he's wonderful and it's drama king in the best possible way. Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 2: we celebrate him.
Speaker 1: The one that I don't get is the one on
Speaker 1: the right up there or I guess our left, yeah,
Speaker 1: or your left if you're watching from the audience.
Speaker 2: We're competitive people. We've been there. We've got in Kansas.
Speaker 1: I haven't been there, Okay, So you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying in terms of in the moment, here's the context
Speaker 1: that did not occurr in a vacuum, Baker Mayfield plays Kansas.
Speaker 2: Kansas has nothing to play for for the most part. Man, Oh,
Speaker 2: we're here to celebrate college football.
Speaker 1: Be cool.
Speaker 2: You had very minimal to play for.
Speaker 1: Okay, And you know they seemed intent on playing for
Speaker 1: hurting Baker Bayfield.
Speaker 2: That was their explicit goal in that game, and so
Speaker 2: they didn't shake hands.
Speaker 1: It seemed like they were out to try and hurt him,
Speaker 1: and Baker, being who he is, got a little ruffled
Speaker 1: under the feathers, as I think any competitive person would.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 1: What I don't get is the crotch grab. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know you, I mean you. I've never had a
Speaker 1: I've never had a moment in my life where I've
Speaker 1: put the worst thing you've done on the field of
Speaker 1: competition on the field, I've probably gone middle finger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, So other're hand gestures.
Speaker 2: If I'm feeling creative, I'll do the jack in the box.
Speaker 2: Oh time, that's so much worse.
Speaker 1: What I know, I know it's a horrible person jack
Speaker 1: in the box.
Speaker 2: The crotch grab.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never been in a situation where I felt
Speaker 1: the need to.
Speaker 2: Has anybody here done that? Anybody in the back? Does
Speaker 2: anybody want Section two?
Speaker 1: We're we're seeing very few hands here, right, So I'm
Speaker 1: not alone in saying that the crutch grab is a
Speaker 1: bit of a dying.
Speaker 2: It's a lot, it's a lot. No, but you know what,
Speaker 2: I sort of appreciate it that it's anybody you're going
Speaker 2: to do it. Yeah, it's created. Yeah, little Ernie McCracken
Speaker 2: to college football, a little bigger and okay, what do
Speaker 2: we have next? Put your hands together? Bigger Mayfield cutest,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, A couple. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we thought a lot about this one, and I
Speaker 1: was particularly taken by Brian Kelly and quarterback controversies as huge, huge,
Speaker 1: adorable selfishly again because it's all about me.
Speaker 2: Who else did we consider here?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Man? So we considered USC and expectations, Jimbo's rock Jimbo
Speaker 2: more on that in.
Speaker 1: Defense and American currency, Yeah, Jimbo, Fisher, Texas A and.
Speaker 2: M Yeah, oh my god, hot and heavy. Wasn't sure
Speaker 2: if he was going to propose, you know, maybe he
Speaker 2: was just stringing them along, but there they are, there
Speaker 2: they are. Time he was he was the last one
Speaker 2: left at midnight and needed a date. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we decided to go a little bit closer. Oh.
Speaker 2: I wanted to go Kirk herbs Street and the Pac
Speaker 2: twelve too. It's like a will they won't they? Are
Speaker 2: they gonna do it? Are they going to end up together?
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we decided to cut a little closer to the
Speaker 1: soliverbal bone.
Speaker 2: Yeah we did. And so without further ado, there he is, there,
Speaker 2: he is, There is Adam. I mean and food.
Speaker 1: Wat and as a special treat to those of you
Speaker 1: who paid fine American currency, come and see this damn thing.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Adam, Adam.
Speaker 2: I'm on, Adam. Are you hungry? Yes? Okay, good? Just
Speaker 2: making sure so starving right now?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, how are you? I'm doing wonderful. Look at
Speaker 2: all these beautiful at this How great are you guys?
Speaker 2: Right now? This is awesome.
Speaker 1: You get to see Adam on a Saturday night, not
Speaker 1: a Friday night. It's a very oddome for all of
Speaker 1: them to be in right now.
Speaker 2: So we have pictures of you.
Speaker 8: I look, I don't anyone could look if you replace
Speaker 8: the barbecue in that first photo with like a baby,
Speaker 8: how evil would that look? It's true, that would be
Speaker 8: the most evil look you could possibly get.
Speaker 1: While holding a chib, happy skeptical out of his mind.
Speaker 1: Notice what I'm skeptical? At the blooming on you and
Speaker 1: is Ryan Nanny here? No, of course not.
Speaker 2: I cannot defend.
Speaker 8: Himself, still trying to get the smell off actually right,
Speaker 8: and that happens.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: You're a broadcaster, obviously everyone here loves you, but it
Speaker 1: takes some gumption to work yourself up to exposing that
Speaker 1: deeply personal moment.
Speaker 2: It is whatever in the middle of.
Speaker 1: The game podcast that people care about deeply, you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to what New Mexico listen.
Speaker 8: Colorado State fans are really intense ms. I decided to
Speaker 8: turn away from Michael Gallup and start talking about cocktail shrimp.
Speaker 2: So what is the what are those things to go
Speaker 2: hand in hand? As I'm concerned, what is the genesis
Speaker 2: of adam amine in the booth?
Speaker 8: So week one we were in Madison, Wisconsin to open
Speaker 8: up the season, and we put together a brand new
Speaker 8: production crew. So we had a new producer and a director.
Speaker 8: The producer is basically the person in the truck that
Speaker 8: runs the entire show, and the director is the person
Speaker 8: that is in charge of all the camera shots that
Speaker 8: you see over the course of a game. So we
Speaker 8: got paired with a new producer and director, and I
Speaker 8: got paired with a new partner, Dusty Devorceek Fromer, Oklahoma
Speaker 8: Sooner and Molly McGrath was back with us on the sideline,
Speaker 8: and our producer really creative, and he noticed that we
Speaker 8: were actually the youngest broadcast crew at ESPN for college football.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 8: I really this year for sure, And I don't know
Speaker 8: if this is a fact, but somebody told me that
Speaker 8: we were the youngest crew in the history of ESPN
Speaker 8: Television for a college football package, like overall age.
Speaker 1: So this guy, yeah, before they were stars right here.
Speaker 8: Nice job parents for waiting until we were going to
Speaker 8: be millennials.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 8: So our producer, while we were in the middle of
Speaker 8: the third quarter or something, had this billboard. Those billboards
Speaker 8: are the shots you see in the advertisements to pop up.
Speaker 2: College football is brought to you by.
Speaker 8: And one of the places that was nice enough to
Speaker 8: let us film some footage in their place was a
Speaker 8: place called Fromage. It's a cheese place in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Because we're all shocked that that is I I think,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a fact, but I
Speaker 1: hear it's the first one ever. So they decided to
Speaker 1: let us kind of indulge in some of their property
Speaker 1: and their and their their product, and they brought it
Speaker 1: to the booth for us, and we showed off some
Speaker 1: of the cheese and we started eating the cheese TV
Speaker 1: because there's food in front of you and why would
Speaker 1: you not eat it. Dusty, by the way, sidebar was
Speaker 1: choking on a piece of bre on camera and did
Speaker 1: not I did not realize it until after we went
Speaker 1: to commercial and he started screaming for a bottle of
Speaker 1: water to try to like clear out his throat because
Speaker 1: he almost died in our Horst game together.
Speaker 2: Because that was fun.
Speaker 8: But we had so much fun with it and it
Speaker 8: was really entertaining, and our producer was like, you know,
Speaker 8: people really seem to like that moment for whatever reason.
Speaker 8: So a couple of weeks later, we're in El Paso, Texas.
Speaker 8: What do you do when you're in El Paso? You
Speaker 8: go get tacos? And our producer brought us a bunch
Speaker 8: of tacos to the booth. The week after that, we
Speaker 8: were in Boise, Idaho. What do you eat when you're
Speaker 8: in Idaho? Potatoes? And they brought us a bunch of
Speaker 8: potato products And we didn't do it every single week
Speaker 8: we didn't do it, and you know, when the game
Speaker 8: was really really tight or really good, we didn't force
Speaker 8: the issue. But when you get to the second half
Speaker 8: of the year and it is UNLV against BYU, two
Speaker 8: teams that didn't have great seasons this year, don't have
Speaker 8: a ton to play for at the time, how do
Speaker 8: we spice it up a little bit? So we're in
Speaker 8: Las Vegas and cocktail shrimp because there's like sixty thousand
Speaker 8: pounds of cocktail shrip consumed there like every day essentially
Speaker 8: in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Straight from the Spearman Rhino right to the bood exactly.
Speaker 1: You should have seen who delivered it. That was very interesting.
Speaker 2: Okay, So do you what was his name? It was James.
Speaker 2: James delivered it. Okay. So here's my question.
Speaker 1: When you get to week nine and you realize you've
Speaker 1: been eating a lot in the food, is that a
Speaker 1: heavy cross to bear?
Speaker 8: You have to you have to up the game every
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, I didn't think we had to
Speaker 8: like really step up our game every single week. I
Speaker 8: think it was more the regional aspect of all of it.
Speaker 8: One day we did eat sandwiches because it was National
Speaker 8: sandwich day. We just felt that was you have how
Speaker 8: dare we?
Speaker 1: Yeahs the sanctity of National sandwich Days, So we had
Speaker 1: to eat sandwiches that night in the booth fair also
Speaker 1: shout out to the obstructed view section over here, we.
Speaker 2: See you and we love you. We love you, we
Speaker 2: love you. This is like you two with the one.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna eat anything on the sideline at the
Speaker 2: National Championship game? I don't think.
Speaker 8: I don't think that there's not gonna be allowed on
Speaker 8: the field. I don't think that's They're gonna be very
Speaker 8: happy with us in the brand new stadium bringing food. Yeah,
Speaker 8: as you guys, As you guys accurately pointed out, apparently
Speaker 8: the prices for concessions at Mercedes Benz Stadium are very reasonable,
Speaker 8: very far.
Speaker 1: Of all, a big, big win for all the reason
Speaker 1: reasonably price. Next and maybe some football. That's what we're
Speaker 1: here for.
Speaker 2: That goes a long way.
Speaker 1: So thank you for being half of the guys in Earnest.
Speaker 1: In Earnest. Now he's a great broadcaster. He's an even
Speaker 1: better guy, so put your hands together.
Speaker 2: Weird that he just happened to be here. We are,
Speaker 2: We are so fortunate we had no idea. So let's
Speaker 2: go from that.
Speaker 1: Let's go from that dramatic personal, deep moment of sincerity.
Speaker 2: Two worst senioritists.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did you have senior witis when you're in college?
Speaker 1: For college or high school? I had high school?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Yes? When when did it set in
Speaker 2: for you? Junior year?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Probably the second semester that I just sort of you know,
Speaker 2: I studied for the tests I had, but I didn't
Speaker 2: really pay much attention.
Speaker 1: So when we thought this, we kicked this one around.
Speaker 1: We're trying to think, you know what, what is what
Speaker 1: exactly a senior witist? Soone no senioritists. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: you're a senior, you don't you kind of stop caring
Speaker 1: about what's going on in the classroom, start to start fading,
Speaker 1: start mailing it in, kind of have the.
Speaker 2: Rest of what happened to that guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the next thing is already planned out, So if
Speaker 1: I'm not here, it's not really going to affect my future.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, mm hmmmmm. North Carolina, Oh yeah, I mean from
Speaker 2: day one, North Carolina was just like, nah, I'm good.
Speaker 2: We had a conversation. Yeah, excuse me.
Speaker 1: We had a conversation in the hotel room yesterday when
Speaker 1: we were putting this together, and Dan.
Speaker 2: Three weeks ago when we were putting this together, very prepared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan had one of the funnier comments that I
Speaker 1: wish would have been recorded, and he said, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like North Carolina had Mono all year,
Speaker 1: but no one knew that they were Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Happened to Trevor.
Speaker 1: Trevor was in APUs history in September, but like, still
Speaker 1: Mono North Carolina.
Speaker 2: Still, I mean good for North Carolina, but still to
Speaker 2: the point where what's it one in seven in conference?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Not great. They just sort of And we looked around
Speaker 2: college football and even the bad teams that were expected
Speaker 2: to be okay, people talked about how they were bad
Speaker 2: North Carolinas, Like have a football team there, They're not
Speaker 2: good North Carolina. Put your hands together, the North North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Yeah, class clown, Yes, I feel like you would have
Speaker 1: been a good class clown.
Speaker 2: I was a nominee. My brother was better than I was,
Speaker 2: but each brother, Max was better. Really Yeah, he pranked.
Speaker 2: This is a very long story, but I'm gonna make
Speaker 2: it short. My brother Max basically pranked called his history
Speaker 2: teacher as Regis Philbin when an old student was on
Speaker 2: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? And he just he
Speaker 2: was on a payphone outside of the classroom because the
Speaker 2: teacher said we might get a call and it might
Speaker 2: be a lifeline call. And my brother went like, this
Speaker 2: is regis you know that kind of thing, and then
Speaker 2: just hung up and came back into the room and
Speaker 2: everybody looked like they had seen a ghost. And he
Speaker 2: said what happened, and they're like, well, you just call it.
Speaker 2: But then he got cut off and it's all bad,
Speaker 2: and then my brother cracked up and it's so evil.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was a good class clown that that
Speaker 1: would definitely qualify for class clowns.
Speaker 2: So every yeah, this is like most likely to succee it.
Speaker 1: Every yearbook I've ever seen in my life, and I've
Speaker 1: seen probably two. Yeah, at least those two had class
Speaker 1: clown right, class clown college football, you got a bunch.
Speaker 2: Of different ways you got.
Speaker 1: Obviously, Mike Gundy would be a strong candidate because of
Speaker 1: the hair.
Speaker 2: See I feel hair goes a long way. He has
Speaker 2: built for a yearbook, like I would see if we
Speaker 2: looked at the yearbook now, I feel like it would
Speaker 2: probably age pretty well, Like I feel like we've come
Speaker 2: pretty far. But Mike Gundhy, he's just locked in into
Speaker 2: like a nineteen seventy seven yearbook. He's got a grand
Speaker 2: am or something. He's great class clown Gundy.
Speaker 1: If less Miles were still in the game, less Miles
Speaker 1: would be that sort of character, just somebody who amused
Speaker 1: from Michigan's off in the running, Zach, who's right there?
Speaker 1: My wife is here.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry about that. What do we have? What do
Speaker 2: we have?
Speaker 10: We want a different direction, of course? Of course, of course,
Speaker 10: how could we not?
Speaker 1: We could go literal with the person or the coach,
Speaker 1: or we wanted to go collectively. Lane Kiffin and the Twitter, Yes,
Speaker 1: specific and Twitter, because both in their own right are
Speaker 1: interesting for separate reasons. Yes, Lank Kiffin obviously has had
Speaker 1: some modicum of success as a college football coach. Controversial,
Speaker 1: mind you, definitely controversial, But he has been successful. Look
Speaker 1: no further than what happened this year at Florida Atlantic. Right,
Speaker 1: he will be sought after name before long. Once again,
Speaker 1: his Twitter sort of comes out of nowhere, comes.
Speaker 2: Out of nowhere. For a long time, we didn't know
Speaker 2: much about link. Come to the FA you capital you.
Speaker 2: That's how we didn't know about him.
Speaker 1: He is this murky, shadowy, controversial figure about whom we
Speaker 1: didn't know a whole lot. But now that we see
Speaker 1: his Twitter, Twitter can be a portal into someone's true personality.
Speaker 1: And he is here for the snarky jokes on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He's not here, He's not here.
Speaker 2: Here are you here?
Speaker 4: Lane?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, Cline is not here, but he is there on
Speaker 1: all social media platforms for the Kim Jong un photoshop graphics.
Speaker 1: He's here for the rat poison dig at Nick Saban.
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's pretty much up like bud Light
Speaker 1: up for whatever on Twitter. I don't know to get
Speaker 1: his name out there, even if it's just like a
Speaker 1: release for him personally.
Speaker 2: And the good thing about the class clown is everybody's
Speaker 2: glad that the class clown exists and provides a service
Speaker 2: in the back of the classroom. You definitely don't want to,
Speaker 2: like start dating seriously the class clown. You don't want
Speaker 2: to get in a road trip situation with a class clown.
Speaker 1: You just like it's good to admire him. From AFAR
Speaker 1: two two under eighty characters at a time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like Kiffin, Class clown. Yeah all right, yeah, real quick,

Speaker 2: This one's important.
Speaker 3: This is up.
Speaker 2: So when we looked up, we went, I know it
Speaker 2: is too soon for tie most of them.
Speaker 1: Most likely to be catfish, Yeah, is what we have here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When we looked up what happens in modern yearbooks,
Speaker 2: because we are so old at this point and remove
Speaker 2: from yearbook time, this was a very popular category most
Speaker 2: most than most likely to catfish, I would say, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh definitely.
Speaker 1: If you won most likely to be catfish, there's.
Speaker 2: No way that's a compliment, right, disagree. Most likely to
Speaker 2: be catfish means you are genuine, you are earnest, you
Speaker 2: believe in the best of people. Why would anybody try
Speaker 2: to pull one over on me that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: It's like being voted most gullible. Yes it is. It's
Speaker 2: just the modern version of most likely to be catfish.
Speaker 1: Yes, so there is some I guess parallel in the
Speaker 1: catfishing universe in the college football universe. As it turns out,
Speaker 1: Manti Tao with his former girlfriend. Yeah, Lenny Kakua, Hey,
Speaker 1: may she rest in peace. Everybody be respectful. Most likely
Speaker 1: to be catfish is apparently a very real yearbook category,
Speaker 1: and so we kind of we kicked it around. We thought,
Speaker 1: what are the essential qualities of falling into the catfishing category?
Speaker 2: Bad with technology? You know, maybe you haven't clicked.
Speaker 1: Yet, that maybe a willingness to sort of be accepted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do whatever it takes to follow your dreams. Something
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, we couldn't decide on just one. We
Speaker 2: had a tie. There he is there, he is there.
Speaker 4: They are hurt.
Speaker 2: Her Edwards didn't allegedly know the name of his own team, allegedly.
Speaker 1: And Jim Harbaugh seems like he's very in the weeds
Speaker 1: with social media, but kind of like a little bit
Speaker 1: like when the parents got social media. When the parents
Speaker 1: got Facebook, it's like, oh cool, like we can be
Speaker 1: on Can we be your friend?
Speaker 2: How does it work? Jim Harbaugh feels like if a
Speaker 2: pop up came up that said there's a virus on
Speaker 2: your computer, please call this number with your social security
Speaker 2: and I'm We'll be like, yeah I have to, or
Speaker 2: thank god they gave me this number.
Speaker 1: You are owed one hundred and fifty million dollars from
Speaker 1: the Queen of Nigeria.
Speaker 2: You never know. Jim Harbaugh's and Herm Edwards just it
Speaker 2: feels like he's been away for so long. You know,
Speaker 2: he's going to go into Instagram dms to talk to recruits.
Speaker 1: He's one hundred percent getting catfished. My thing with my
Speaker 1: thing with HERM Edwards, excuse me? Was you know, we
Speaker 1: had a bunch of we were trying to figure out
Speaker 1: categories and then candidates and actual winners for some of
Speaker 1: these categories, and for HERM Edwards, I was really torn
Speaker 1: because he totally fits the bill here, right, totally fits
Speaker 1: the bill, of course, but he also kind of fits
Speaker 1: the bill of someone who, like may have, at some point,
Speaker 1: either via Facebook or some other social media platform, right,
Speaker 1: really tried to.
Speaker 2: Sell you on like selling herbal life. Absolutely, you know,
Speaker 2: absolutely he does.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, like some sort of quasi I hope
Speaker 1: there are any herbalife dealers in.
Speaker 2: I could see I could see HERM. Edwards sending an
Speaker 2: entire letter in a text message, like a seven paragraph
Speaker 2: text message love her. Yeah, yeah, I could one percent
Speaker 2: see that. And the same for Harbaugh.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they both fall into the category of I think
Speaker 1: being a little bit too eager and maybe in some
Speaker 1: of the wrong ways, because technology.
Speaker 2: Sure is a few light years in front of them, yeah,
Speaker 2: or behind them, depending on your perspective. So Herm Edwards,
Speaker 2: Jim Harbarr, Herbadwards. So we don't know any of those
Speaker 2: kids highway.
Speaker 1: That is what appears when you do a Google image
Speaker 1: search for nineteen ninety seven high school.
Speaker 2: That's true. So we don't have the rights to do.
Speaker 1: My particular favorite is a gentleman in the lower right
Speaker 1: corner going with my first mustache. Look, it is always
Speaker 1: a classic in every high school year book.
Speaker 2: One of the things that's a pretty problems like he's
Speaker 2: hiding something, he's got a secret, he's got something.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we've noticed in most of
Speaker 1: your books is it's not just superlatives, but they also
Speaker 1: try to identify like friends forever, Yeah, you know, friend
Speaker 1: student group, best clicks, Yeah, you know, the the bandos,
Speaker 1: the tech geeks.
Speaker 2: A club, various clubs, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Well, there's some obvious tie in to what goes on
Speaker 1: in college football in a variety of different ways. So
Speaker 1: we thought maybe we'd invite another esteem guest, please of
Speaker 1: a solid verbal up onto the stage, something like that
Speaker 1: from SI dot com.
Speaker 2: Mister Andy Staples, come on up and all right, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna knock. I'm good. You must be cold, you run warm.
Speaker 2: I live in Florida.
Speaker 4: I don't. I can't handle this.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: Oh, turn the mic on.
Speaker 1: We have it.
Speaker 2: This is why he's a technological genius.
Speaker 5: Yes, when I have problems with my podcast, I just
Speaker 5: text high Yeah, this is so okay.
Speaker 2: Student life clicks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I'm glad you mentioned friends Forever Pages,
Speaker 5: of course, and I was on the yearbook staff.
Speaker 2: By the obviously I look at him, didn't look like this.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I graduated high school in ninety six, so
Speaker 5: this is perfect, right.
Speaker 2: But so the friends for that is Andy right here that.
Speaker 5: The Friends Forever Pages were basically the rich kids who
Speaker 5: could afford to take out three hundred bucks to the
Speaker 5: yearbook staff.
Speaker 2: Thanks for that, the class in.
Speaker 4: Yes, none of my friends invited me to this. No
Speaker 4: oh no, I thank him for.
Speaker 5: This because there's like this bridge in a playground right
Speaker 5: off campus, and everybody shot it on the same bridge,
Speaker 5: and it's like all the people that never invited me
Speaker 5: to a party in one place.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, but now look at you.
Speaker 1: It hurts just to also eat and cover college football.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, that's right, call doctors and lawyers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, losers doors. So we have clicks, tye, then if
Speaker 2: help us out with we have our own opinion, all right.
Speaker 2: But as somebody who is carefully studied in the art
Speaker 2: of eighties and nineties teams.
Speaker 5: Also have been yelled at by every fan base, that's true.
Speaker 5: I feel like I've got a good handle on it.
Speaker 2: So the reason Andy mentions that is by looking at
Speaker 2: clicks in a yearbook, we're going to ascribe we're going
Speaker 2: to associate various clicks with college football fan bases because
Speaker 2: obviously obvious, and I see some members of my clicks.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, okay, where should we start, tie, let's
Speaker 1: start with a We're gonna start with the band.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start with the bands, all right? Do you
Speaker 2: have your bands?
Speaker 5: I do, But it's not it's not so much related
Speaker 5: to the school's band for sure, because a type of person.
Speaker 5: If you've ever pissed off a band group on social media,
Speaker 5: you know they are a small group, but they are
Speaker 5: a vicious group, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, they're the Honey Badgers.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna go with one near and dear to
Speaker 5: the heart of someone on this stage, the University of organ.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's okay.
Speaker 4: They get sixty thousand people into their stadium.
Speaker 2: But if you run a foul of them, oh good
Speaker 2: use of a foul with I didn't miss that.
Speaker 4: I didn't even have to pay royalty.
Speaker 2: Well done so.
Speaker 5: But no, if you if you say something that ticks
Speaker 5: them off, if you maybe suggest during Mark Halfritz's tenure
Speaker 5: that he didn't recruit very well before he got fired.
Speaker 2: Now now they say that too, but.
Speaker 5: They would come at you with some of the most
Speaker 5: horribly misspelled, poor grammar.
Speaker 2: It's rough and just vicious. I apologize, just dance text. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I really do. I feel so bad because you're so
Speaker 2: kind and nice and really yeah yeah, ty, Who did
Speaker 2: we have as our bandos? I mean, what is paramount
Speaker 2: of a bando? Sure? Well, so it's sort of they
Speaker 2: have a skill, right, they have a very specific set
Speaker 2: of skills. I apologize, a very specific set. Now, I'm
Speaker 2: imagine somebody to piccolo show through their brain, right, yeah, absolutely, no,
Speaker 2: there's talent. There's talent associated you know, they do their
Speaker 2: precise in what they do they have a musical talent,
Speaker 2: but certainly there is a pack of tribal mentality to
Speaker 2: a band's member. I kept, you know, and it's not
Speaker 2: the right answer.
Speaker 1: I kept thinking like a Navy, because a navy is
Speaker 1: very specific in what they do, a little bit walled
Speaker 1: off for a variety of reasons, maybe the college football
Speaker 1: ether at large, but still kind of in that mold
Speaker 1: that they're very specialized.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bando's great at push ups.
Speaker 1: At push ups, yeah, notoriously, So it may not be
Speaker 1: quite as controversial yeah as Oregon, But that was sort
Speaker 1: of my first that that was kind of the train
Speaker 1: of my thinking here.
Speaker 2: So what do we say? I think I had like
Speaker 2: packed twelve fans in general. I think I had something
Speaker 2: like that where they go to good schools. There's a
Speaker 2: certain amount of like what about us, the forgotten class?
Speaker 2: They don't they do feel forgotten?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then when you point out that they don't
Speaker 5: care enough to even get their own network on DirecTV.
Speaker 1: Right, they get that, Oh, I'm aware, I'm aware you're
Speaker 1: not well to spend a dollar twenty yeah for your network.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true, all right. So next one is simply
Speaker 2: the cool.
Speaker 5: Kids who are the cool kids. The cool kids, they
Speaker 5: don't exist. Well, I'm I'm glad you established that. We're
Speaker 5: talking circa mid nineties, right, because as we know, the
Speaker 5: cool kids are now the popular or the the nerds
Speaker 5: are now the popular kids.
Speaker 2: Right, so things are all upside down? Is that true?
Speaker 5: I think I have nieces high school a big moment
Speaker 5: for time. We would have killed it in high school now.
Speaker 5: But okay, so the cool kids I went with Texas. Okay,
Speaker 5: so they got money, they got all the hip spots. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they know all the right places.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but when you look a little deeper, there's not
Speaker 4: really anything but insecurity.
Speaker 1: It's not wrong a perfectly at six.
Speaker 2: Yeah they are six and six in life.
Speaker 3: Wow, WHOA.
Speaker 2: Somebody tweet that out. Tough but fair, tough but fair.
Speaker 4: The nerds they're going ten to two.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See I had TCU TCY.
Speaker 1: We both agreed on TCU TCU, just because if we're
Speaker 1: going to go with the textbook definition of cool, it's
Speaker 1: just that they're sort of above it all.
Speaker 2: They're chiller than they should be. They they're in the
Speaker 2: better part of the DFW area.
Speaker 4: They're not quite as uppitty as SMU.
Speaker 1: Right, you're not as up ay as su and like
Speaker 1: if they go nine to three and ten two every year,
Speaker 1: they're sort of cool.
Speaker 2: They love their coach, just sort of like and the
Speaker 2: other the other.
Speaker 4: They still have all those girls dancing behind the visitors bench.
Speaker 5: You said it now, which is on purpose, by the way,
Speaker 5: the other coy you do Texas ad bringing the good idea.
Speaker 2: Yes. The other key element is expectations.
Speaker 1: Yes, and the expectations at TCU aren't nearly as high
Speaker 1: as they are at Texas.
Speaker 2: I think that's fair to say in a given year.
Speaker 1: And the cool kids always kind of have that aura
Speaker 1: where they know there might be some expectations that exist,
Speaker 1: but at the same time don't really care, like they
Speaker 1: got kind of above it.
Speaker 2: See we went to different high schools. I'm learning this.
Speaker 5: There was a very much implied arrogance among the cool kids, right,
Speaker 5: and hence my choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's right. I think you nail it.
Speaker 2: What's our next item? Where do we want to go next?
Speaker 2: Let's say jocks the jocks.
Speaker 5: This one's easy, and we've got a prime example right
Speaker 5: in here in front the University of Alabama.
Speaker 1: WHOA.
Speaker 5: This is the type of fan base that when you
Speaker 5: were trying to do what a nice, normal LSU fan
Speaker 5: would do and pass out at Crystal Loss.
Speaker 2: Trying to get a good nice sleeves.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the jobs. So one, that's roll down one,
Speaker 2: roll time two. This was so easy, this one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this was so simple and it was so easy. And
Speaker 2: what I wrote down in trying to figure this out
Speaker 2: is who would oath from Revenge of the Nerds root
Speaker 2: for Ogre? Excuse me? That's what? And I just fro ti.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: See that's a deep cut deep and that's why Andy
Speaker 2: is in the Nerds. That's why Nerds. What do we
Speaker 2: have next? What was the one I'm in front of?
Speaker 2: That movie does not hold up? Do we want to
Speaker 2: go to the Nerds? I have a I have a
Speaker 2: Nerds one. Let's go, let's go to the Nerds one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got another one in the front row. Did
Speaker 5: you guys know we did not plan this? Okay, what
Speaker 5: do we have?
Speaker 2: Well, we had this too. A Michigan man, Yeah.
Speaker 5: A Michigan man is someone who, in class, when the
Speaker 5: teacher's about to dismiss you, will raise his hand and say,
Speaker 5: miss Crenshaw, you forgot to give us homework.
Speaker 2: And a Michigan man always does his homework. Part of
Speaker 2: me was so when I when I thought about the
Speaker 2: sort of generic term for nerds, I was saying, somebody
Speaker 2: who cares way too much, right, somebody who who like,
Speaker 2: if we're gonna take the stereots, but like a Star
Speaker 2: Wars or a Sci Fi nerd, they're they're deep diving.
Speaker 5: So we had a guy at my high school who
Speaker 5: he would wear the periodic table, the element short, the
Speaker 5: schematic of the enterprise, but his his thing was Babylon five.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure he was deep in a battle.
Speaker 4: Yeah five, And that's that's the Michigan man too.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong, but this is the direction
Speaker 2: I went. They care too much. They care every day
Speaker 2: they are looking. They're trying to overturn every rock for
Speaker 2: a clue about something, some new nugget of information. So
Speaker 2: shout out to Ole, miss and Mississippi State fan. Wow,
Speaker 2: the state of Mississippi well needs to do some other stuff,
Speaker 2: meet some beats.
Speaker 5: Some different extrac Ever, have nerds get into fights at
Speaker 5: your high school?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: I actually is that not the egg bowl. We're on
Speaker 1: the same page, and I like the bridge that this
Speaker 1: this has between Shaye Patterson. It's like it makes sense
Speaker 1: right to Michigan from ole mess Yeah, a direct line
Speaker 1: of sight? Yes, what what is our do we have
Speaker 1: a final click that we want to spacing fine drama.
Speaker 9: Drama dorks, I believe drama do excuse me?
Speaker 4: Uh this one.
Speaker 5: These people are the most theatrical fans I know. I
Speaker 5: don't understand what they're saying.
Speaker 2: Half the time. I don't know if I even want
Speaker 2: to know. Texas A and M. Yes, there it is
Speaker 2: like this part.
Speaker 7: I get gig him happy, but when the yell leaders
Speaker 7: get up there, it is I don't know what that means, right,
Speaker 7: But eighty thousand people in the stands do right, and
Speaker 7: that bothers me.
Speaker 2: They're they're weirdly exclusive, very drama doors. They put on
Speaker 2: shows for things that Why why there are horses? I
Speaker 2: think I've se horses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's college.
Speaker 1: There's there's a dog that's worshiped. It feels very dramatic,
Speaker 1: very theatrical. Right, Yes, the dog is the general.
Speaker 4: It's exactly something that my drama club would have done.
Speaker 2: Yes, worshipped a dog. I don't think we can go
Speaker 2: any further.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Ladies and gentlemen, Andy Staples, I'm somewhere's
Speaker 1: my wife.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry he said those things about Michigan.
Speaker 1: So this is this is another category for the obstructive
Speaker 1: view section that we looked online because we've been out
Speaker 1: of the yearbook game for quite some time now, and
Speaker 1: they apparently have a category for worst driver.
Speaker 2: In a lot of yearbooks. Yeah, it's you know, and
Speaker 2: and of some of the other ones that you find,
Speaker 2: you see most unique.
Speaker 1: Right, and I got it's actually tough to find a
Speaker 1: bad driver because it's all yeah, but like most unique,
Speaker 1: at least, it's something you want to give to somebody
Speaker 1: that you sort of like but don't want to compliment, right, right, absolutely.
Speaker 2: But worst driver is pretty much a dig and the
Speaker 2: only you are bad at this central life thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So the only reason that you could ever
Speaker 1: win worst Driver is if like you crashed into the school.
Speaker 2: Right if you did. You could win it if you
Speaker 2: were like a charmingly bad driver. I don't know exactly
Speaker 2: what that means, but yes, that would be a way
Speaker 2: to honor somebody like that.
Speaker 1: So you can draw your own parallels here into the
Speaker 1: college football world. We drove a fairly obvious one with
Speaker 1: our selection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's sort of like it's difficult to screw
Speaker 2: up driving an automatic car.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: It's tough to have a losing record at Florida, it
Speaker 1: really is. It's tough to drive that program into the ground.
Speaker 1: In fairness, in fairness, in his two plus seasons at Florida,
Speaker 1: he did not have a losing record. He was twenty
Speaker 1: two to twelve. He won the SEC East twice by
Speaker 1: all accounts. Yes, that's a good thing, right right, absolutely,
Speaker 1: So why worst driver? So just as a program, that's
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to win at Florida, relatively speaking. And
Speaker 1: for Jim mceawaane one, this is another out of context
Speaker 1: ty quote, like the Baker Mayfield jump thing. I can't
Speaker 1: stop looking at Jim mcawayan's face. I cannot say this
Speaker 1: is my favorite picture in the history of college football. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he really likes this. So it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: he he screwed up basic things.
Speaker 2: He screwed up.
Speaker 1: He never put his blinker on at Florida. He never
Speaker 1: checked the mirrors, he never merged carefully. And that's how
Speaker 1: you get on and you get off real quickly. And
Speaker 1: now he's just he's gone. I never got past this picture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I only really included this. This is the
Speaker 1: only reason that I included it. Right, that was my
Speaker 1: first inkling that he might not be cut out for Florida,
Speaker 1: where they're a little lower in latitude, right, and the
Speaker 1: sun's a little bit stronger, and you go to an
Speaker 1: interview with the binocular the binocular ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true. So you're right.
Speaker 1: There were many things, many key aspects.
Speaker 2: It was just easy for every Like you said, it's
Speaker 2: just an insult, right, It's just it's just it's purely
Speaker 2: an instant and it's easy for everybody to agree. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's bad, He's he's real bad.
Speaker 1: My crash into the gym, yeah, oh, worst driver, right,
Speaker 1: very obvious.
Speaker 2: It did not go well. He was fired before the
Speaker 2: end of the season.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 1: Has that picture in perpetuity on the internet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now we have it three times in our presentation. Yeah,
Speaker 2: everybody class heartbreaker? Okay, how would you define this?
Speaker 1: A heartbreaker is somebody that everybody wants to like. Most
Speaker 1: people do want to believe you, We want to believe
Speaker 1: in you. You break our heart, you do you break
Speaker 1: our heart, either by by lying to us, by letting
Speaker 1: us down, by maybe just not being as into us.
Speaker 2: Or it or something as we are.
Speaker 1: We see so much good in you. There's so much
Speaker 1: good in you. Why can't it just work out? Why
Speaker 1: can't it? Why can't it just work out? Is there
Speaker 1: a story that you like? This is a lot of passion?
Speaker 1: Everything cool? Okay, okay? Heartbreaker in everyone's your book?
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 1: Is something that you see. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: considered a compliment. Maybe some people view it as a compliment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think it's it's a compliment
Speaker 2: in that. Do we have do we have areas? Oh? Sam?
Speaker 2: Oh Sam? Not another pick? We want a good pack
Speaker 2: twelve team please?
Speaker 1: We just went broadly USC Trojans. Does anybody here feel uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, satisfied by us?
Speaker 2: That probably the world? Yeah, but Sarah children here in the.
Speaker 1: Last ten years, right, No, they're they're disapporting every year
Speaker 1: where were here leaving them they're mis drivers. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: was the year, as was the last year, as was
Speaker 1: the year before that, as was the year before that. Right,
Speaker 1: every year is the year for USC because they've got
Speaker 1: a wealth of talent. They've usually got a pretty good quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've always got a well I guess until recently a
Speaker 1: pretty high profile coach.
Speaker 2: Doesn't. My favorite thing Clay Helton, by the way, is
Speaker 2: I don't think he will. I don't think he has.
Speaker 2: I don't think he will ever be spotted in an airport.
Speaker 1: Now because Clay Hilton looks like every person at Hudson News,
Speaker 1: Clay Helton is always buying an issue of Vanity Fair
Speaker 1: and some mints.
Speaker 2: And that's that's a really sad way.
Speaker 1: I helped you walk in right now, nobody would know,
Speaker 1: would be like a fifty forty percent hit.
Speaker 2: Rate, right, Should we bring somebody in that people do know?
Speaker 2: I think maybe we should. Let's bring to somebody why
Speaker 2: do you put your hands together?
Speaker 1: First? And the USC Trojans, So we've got a couple left,
Speaker 1: and since we know that they've got a very prominent
Speaker 1: following in the greater Atlanta area, and since we're big
Speaker 1: fans of the fine work that they do.
Speaker 2: It's outcast. No, it's not outcast. It's not. I lied,
Speaker 2: it's not outcasts. But that'd be really great.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: With all that being said, we wanted to invite some
Speaker 2: other esteem guests here. These two people make me laugh
Speaker 2: as part of a trio in supermarkets when I listened
Speaker 2: to their show and it's embarrassing, and I keep listening.
Speaker 2: Not the show is not embarrassing. I keep listening in
Speaker 2: supermarkets and on trains, and they work with us. They're
Speaker 2: amazing people and they are funnier than we are, and
Speaker 2: we happily admit that. Absolutely, Ladies and gentlemen, to help
Speaker 2: us out. Spencer holl and Jason.
Speaker 3: Karr all right there, check check check check.
Speaker 2: Does Spencer look like you imagined?
Speaker 6: Y'all get a look at this shirt, by the way,
Speaker 6: that's pistol Pete with a gigantic bass.
Speaker 1: So in case you didn't know, in case you don't
Speaker 1: listen to our show, this is two thirds of these
Speaker 1: shutdown full Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: They are here in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: They live here in Atlanta, and we thought we couldn't
Speaker 1: do a show without bringing these guys on to talk
Speaker 1: about all things college football weirdness, and so we thought
Speaker 1: maybe we could get some help trying to figure some
Speaker 1: of this stuff out.
Speaker 2: So let's just let's let's start easy.
Speaker 1: I know this is Wheelhouse most likely to be mad
Speaker 1: scientist apparently again a category that we found courtesy of Google.
Speaker 2: As we think around college football, somebody to take a
Speaker 2: dark turn at some point after the twenty seventeen season,
Speaker 2: somebody who has the capability to see the lights.
Speaker 9: You mean besides becoming a college football coach. Yes, I
Speaker 9: want to coach a child's game and make it incredibly violent.
Speaker 9: Then I'm not going to pay my employees. No, no, no,
Speaker 9: you can't do that, because it'll pay them.
Speaker 2: That's the joke. So somebody who does take that turn,
Speaker 2: at some point, you've hung out with them for a
Speaker 2: while and all of a sudden, what happened? What happened
Speaker 2: to this person? Are they wearing eyeshadow?
Speaker 11: Right, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: So we can give you, we can give you our
Speaker 1: read on it, and you can react to it. We've
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun with this gentleman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there he is. There's Josh Rosen. See a lot
Speaker 2: of Bruin opinions in here, and so hey, it's a
Speaker 2: Bruins town. It's a Bruin town.
Speaker 1: So my thought was this, Josh Rosen's a really good
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's going to be a top five pick
Speaker 1: by all accounts, he should if he wants to have
Speaker 1: a really good career in the NFL. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that's his end game. I'm not sure that that's what
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen wants to do when he grows up. When
Speaker 1: he retires, he may just want to like master fusion
Speaker 1: or disprove gravity waves. So do something a little bit
Speaker 1: more intellectually stimulating than playing the child's game.
Speaker 11: Or install hot tubs and dorm rooms right exactly.
Speaker 9: Or attempt to win games at UCLA.
Speaker 1: Sure, too far, too far, too far tough, y'all, don't care.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: We're all so dumb that somebody appears to be pretty
Speaker 2: bright and we're like, he must be evil, he must
Speaker 2: there must be something wrong with this out.
Speaker 11: He see, you get how Georgia works. We're home. We're
Speaker 11: home now.
Speaker 2: So that that's where we went with.
Speaker 11: Let me go with Dabo swinny Oh, I like that.
Speaker 6: Continue who after figuring out that the key to college
Speaker 6: football is just paying lots of people to do the
Speaker 6: job for you. Uh, you know, get your two million
Speaker 6: dollar offensive coordinator, you two minute, two million dollar defensive coordinator.
Speaker 6: You know, convinced convince a five star quarterback to come in.
Speaker 11: It's not a hard job until yep, he goes takes
Speaker 11: that damage job.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, okay, Now he's.
Speaker 6: Got a hundred assistants and disposal, not just you know
Speaker 6: two or three.
Speaker 11: So yeah, I imagine the terror he can reach.
Speaker 9: I was a he also had built a slide. You
Speaker 9: need megal Mania And yeah he's dabo, got a little money,
Speaker 9: and that's how you know he's country and crazy. He's like, well,
Speaker 9: put a slide in my hand, because I'll tell you
Speaker 9: I my trash. Like that's the first thing that happened,
Speaker 9: you know, like first big paycheck I got.
Speaker 2: I'm buying a car. I almost like like Debo saw
Speaker 2: blank check recently. It's like there's a lot of good ideas.
Speaker 2: Mister Macintosh is onto something. And he bought a castle. Yes,
Speaker 2: and he bought a castle.
Speaker 11: That's not a joke. Nothing in this sport is actually
Speaker 11: a joke.
Speaker 2: It's a very serious business. He bought a castle. He
Speaker 2: did bought a castle. And if he does end up
Speaker 2: at BAMA and has one hundred assistants, they're not not minions.
Speaker 2: That they're not They're not not minions.
Speaker 9: So I got I got one other guy to please
Speaker 9: please get Gary Patterson, because if you're gonna be a
Speaker 9: super villain, you're gonna take a dark turn. You gotta
Speaker 9: be real sweaty right, he's incredibly sweaty. He already has
Speaker 9: a physical deformity because he has a wooden leg. He
Speaker 9: doesn't actually have a way. No, that's I was shocked
Speaker 9: to learn that. I just want everybody here to just
Speaker 9: believe that Gary James has a wooden leg.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: Also, if you've heard him talk like he did the
Speaker 9: film room, yes it was awesome, by the way, well
Speaker 9: yeah it was, it was awesome. But Gary doesn't. Gary
Speaker 9: doesn't explain anything to you, Like he'd be the guy
Speaker 9: who just go, okay, here's this equation of here, okay,
Speaker 9: you just take sigma, you put it through all these
Speaker 9: quanta mechanics, and then you get that you're just like,
Speaker 9: well wait, wait, wait wait wait. He's like, that's how
Speaker 9: you make a bomb that kills everybody but children.
Speaker 2: And that's what he escalated quickly, Gary, it's a dark turn.
Speaker 9: Here, So that's what he would do, right, yeah, I
Speaker 9: mean that's like he said, there explaenty defenses, and Dana
Speaker 9: was like, Dana Pulgerson's over here, and he's like that
Speaker 9: means the big guy is gonna tackle, you know, like
Speaker 9: Dana can like break it down for like the eighteen
Speaker 9: year old, right, and you like point you that way.
Speaker 1: Major Apple Whites in the corner. White is a ghost
Speaker 1: taking notes. Major just treated it like a study session.
Speaker 1: He was just like, this is great shit, how do
Speaker 1: you do that? Were just giving this away?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was not the most inspiring watch for a
Speaker 2: Houston fan, was it? No? It could not have been.
Speaker 2: You're not a good Houston week in general? Is that
Speaker 2: even legal? Yes?
Speaker 1: All right, now, so we can agree to some combination
Speaker 1: of Dabbo with Gary with Josh.
Speaker 2: Rosie never felt more Georgia. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 2: It never felt more Georgia. What do we have next?
Speaker 2: So we got another one that we need your help,
Speaker 2: Clart biggest flirt?
Speaker 11: So can Lane Kevin be nominated for Lane Kiffin again?
Speaker 1: He's he's won at twelve straight years and there are regulations.
Speaker 6: I mean, the man literally was posting memes of like
Speaker 6: himself taking the you know what was he doing? Or
Speaker 6: he was intentionally following Kiffen to Tennessee accounts?
Speaker 2: Yes, come on out. So I guess we're looking for
Speaker 2: like the interim biggest flat.
Speaker 1: Yes, interim biggest flirt. And how would you define flirting
Speaker 1: as in this sort of context, just sort of into everybody.
Speaker 1: Charming Yep, maybe a little too charming. Yeah, right, sure,
Speaker 1: if you could totally trust him.
Speaker 2: You don't know if there's a ton there beyond the
Speaker 2: actual initial flirtatious kind of like the class clown like
Speaker 2: do the dating might not be the best career move.
Speaker 2: Are they into me? Are they not into?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are they worth it? I don't know. I don't understand
Speaker 2: where they're coming from. Yeah.
Speaker 9: The biggest flirt okay, I don't recall his name, the
Speaker 9: old miss linebacker who recovered a fumble and then like
Speaker 9: did this with the camera if anyone has to speak, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: he said. That's my first nominee. My second is Mike
Speaker 9: the Tiger, like the actual, the actual physical as if
Speaker 9: you've been there. Mike likes you, like Michael come up
Speaker 9: to the fence and he's like, it's up, beautiful. He's
Speaker 9: a very flirting cat, you know, and he'll chuff at you.
Speaker 9: So he's got to like you though, So that's the thing.
Speaker 9: But yeah, huge flirt.
Speaker 11: Let's go Willy Taggert.
Speaker 2: Willy Taggert. So we talked about Willy Taggart. Never heard
Speaker 2: of him. The best flirt is he new?
Speaker 11: Hey man, he's got a lot of area codes.
Speaker 2: I see where you went with that. Yeah. So ultimately,
Speaker 2: like you know, it's just a sort of facade. It's
Speaker 2: a show, it's a flirt. There's not a ton of
Speaker 2: depth necessarily when they are fully exposed.
Speaker 1: So we went in a different direction. Spencer, I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna appreciate this.
Speaker 2: Oh ah, the playoff. Really thought the Miami was into them?
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the turnover chain, the excitement, the second year coach,
Speaker 1: all of the bravado that comes along with being the
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes and having a program that's on the rise again.
Speaker 2: Sure, yes, I'm.
Speaker 9: Saying that, like identity, theft and fraud is something that's
Speaker 9: associated with its exactly South Florida enterprise.
Speaker 2: We're just learning. Yes, this has taken a dark I
Speaker 2: had a girlfriend in Miami.
Speaker 4: Shir h.
Speaker 2: She went to a different high school. I swear, Yeah,
Speaker 2: she just didn't show up.
Speaker 6: It's also important to note that brother, brother markret he'll
Speaker 6: flirt with you, but he's not going to consummate.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. The Lord will not allow you to
Speaker 2: go that far.
Speaker 1: As as for my knowledge of mark Rix beliefs, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think this is right I think we
Speaker 1: really wanted to believe that the interest was real.
Speaker 2: We really did. They charmed us with a win over
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Oh it was so charming. Yeah, you love
Speaker 2: that night.
Speaker 3: I love that win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite win of the year. Yeah, yeah, same same.
Speaker 2: If only g chat could ban people from what I
Speaker 2: saw from Tye that night.
Speaker 3: Who that was?
Speaker 2: That was a rough night. So Miami Hurricanes, the Miami
Speaker 2: Hurricanes felt like a flirtatious moment this year. A flirtatious moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for a brief moment, a hot moment after
Speaker 1: Notre Dame was down and out in the ground, I
Speaker 1: was rooting for Miami. Really now that makes sense, and
Speaker 1: I realized I couldn't trust him. Yeah, you can't trust
Speaker 1: a flirt that's true, Miami, Hail to Pitt. So this
Speaker 1: is sort of on the same similar level as the
Speaker 1: flirtation and true story on best prom posal for those
Speaker 1: in the obstructive use. I just recently learned this term
Speaker 1: by the way we were recording a podcast and some
Speaker 1: of you may have caught this if you listen to
Speaker 1: the show in the regular where Dan I'm assuming thought
Speaker 1: that prom posal, which was a new word to me
Speaker 1: up until recently, I must admit. Prom posal is when
Speaker 1: you propose marriage to somebody.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought the problem.
Speaker 9: You are from Georgia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what we do, right, So apparently that's
Speaker 2: not true, Not at all. It's not true.
Speaker 1: It's just an elaborate way to ask somebody to go
Speaker 1: to the prom Should either of you, by the way,
Speaker 1: do anything elaborate for asking somebody to the problem?
Speaker 11: Bro, I got engage at the mall?
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 2: I've never lied with a mic confessed it's true. How
Speaker 2: did you get engaged at the mall?
Speaker 11: Because we'd already settled on it. We went to the
Speaker 11: jewelry store because I'm not picking out a ring?
Speaker 6: Of course it'll be wrong, right. She picks out the
Speaker 6: ring and I'm like, here go and she said, she said,
Speaker 6: is that it? And I was like, I guess.
Speaker 2: So Roman put him on biggest flirt. Yeah, it worked,
Speaker 2: didn't it? So proposal Spencer, did you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 9: No, I took I took the woman who was gonna
Speaker 9: be later with wife, okay, like mother my kids.
Speaker 2: That was cool.
Speaker 9: And I also went to another problem with another girl.
Speaker 2: But it's flirt that was flex. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So proposal is basically an elaborate way to ask somebody
Speaker 1: to go to the prom.
Speaker 2: Yes, and so we were thinking in terms, maybe you
Speaker 2: do it a bunch, Maybe you're sort of you wear
Speaker 2: them down. It's a little contrive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's never you know, comfortable, right, you're going out
Speaker 1: of your way posted on YouTube public.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you make an asset yourself. But everything's that
Speaker 2: east anyway.
Speaker 1: So right there, we were trying to think of college
Speaker 1: football unions, college football just things that have occurred.
Speaker 2: More complicated than they need to be, had some.
Speaker 1: Sort of elaborate construct around, and we have one that
Speaker 1: we feel is a pretty strong category, pretty strong candidate
Speaker 1: in this category.
Speaker 2: Are there any that come to mind for you guys?
Speaker 12: Ohio State's playoff case, but that is that it's that
Speaker 12: Charlie Day image, right, Yeah, all.
Speaker 2: Right, strings don't look at Iowa.
Speaker 11: Yeah, nothing that happens in the state of Iowa accounts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have something?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the Tennessee coaching ses all right, because
Speaker 9: that was far too lot.
Speaker 2: Go balls.
Speaker 9: The thing I love about this is this that they
Speaker 9: entered the whole thing and they're like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 9: to the store and I'm gonna buy some bread sit.
Speaker 9: Need you buy a big dumb, blank loaf of bread?
Speaker 9: So my so my team needs what my family needs.
Speaker 9: So they went there and they're like, well, maybe I
Speaker 9: want the multi grain, maybe I want the multi green
Speaker 9: with the flax seed.
Speaker 2: You know, flax seeds are amazing.
Speaker 9: And then they got way too complex and at the
Speaker 9: end they just went out and got a big dumb
Speaker 9: loaf of white bread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, took an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were your what were your initial reads on
Speaker 1: that whole situation, because you know, it seemed that Andy
Speaker 1: who who's here, you know, wrote a great article about
Speaker 1: how they wanted to bring in greg Giano, But it
Speaker 1: was clear that for better or worse, and whether we
Speaker 1: agree with it or not, the Tennessee fan base the
Speaker 1: market didn't want they didn't want it, they weren't interested
Speaker 1: in it. And you could dissect that a million different ways,
Speaker 1: but the truth of the matter is Andy's right.
Speaker 2: People didn't want him.
Speaker 1: They didn't want him for whatever reason, and that's sort
Speaker 1: of what kicked off this entire tire fire, as we
Speaker 1: would call it, with the Tennessee coaching search.
Speaker 2: What did you guys think it went down?
Speaker 6: I mean, I thought a lot, because a lot of
Speaker 6: stuff happened, like and after this Shiano one, it was
Speaker 6: like you saw a lot of you know, national media
Speaker 6: types trying to boil it down to just one.
Speaker 11: Thing or just you know, just this or just that
Speaker 11: or just the other thing.
Speaker 2: And it was a lot of stuff. Yeah, and that
Speaker 2: was just one of them. Now and then you know
Speaker 2: you had Leech and you had Dorin and cut Cliffs.
Speaker 1: I mean, we ran out of images that we could
Speaker 1: fit on this slide for all the different people that
Speaker 1: were rumored projector you know, it was just.
Speaker 2: Incredible trying to follow it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if we've seen a situation like
Speaker 1: this in college football where there was such strong negative
Speaker 1: reaction to potential coaching hire every fan base as people
Speaker 1: who are Nat sayers when.
Speaker 2: A new name is announced.
Speaker 1: But the fact that it seemed unanimously there were people
Speaker 1: out against gregs Giano.
Speaker 2: And then we had we'll say anonymously.
Speaker 1: Twitter trolls jumping out trying to organize larger outcry about this.
Speaker 2: I can't remember seeing anything like it. Well, the bad
Speaker 2: news is John Curry did not find a date. Because
Speaker 2: John Curry is you know, he's probably watching some Netflix
Speaker 2: at home during the proms, he's watching the Crown.
Speaker 11: And they said he's still getting paid though.
Speaker 2: That's good. That is good. Good for him, the American
Speaker 2: dream screw up and get paid.
Speaker 9: I just I just enjoy that. Like one of the
Speaker 9: results from this long fiasco of search was that Mike
Speaker 9: Leach got an ad fired at another school.
Speaker 2: That's that's talent. That's amazing.
Speaker 9: Got you got your boss fired somewhere else before it
Speaker 9: ever happened. That's the long con right there. Yes, that's phenomenal.
Speaker 9: I bet he got a chunk of the buyout and
Speaker 9: doesn't even know why.
Speaker 2: Mike Leach. And it should be mentioned Mike Leach spends
Speaker 2: a lot of time in South Florida. Pretty good.
Speaker 9: Got he's got a house in Cuba. He has to
Speaker 9: get at all and get to Cuba. You can do
Speaker 9: it in like ninety minutes.
Speaker 6: That's like the Mike Leach people's revolution. He's just overthrown Mike.
Speaker 6: He's in the means of production. Mike Leach have worked
Speaker 6: at Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, How would how would the Tennessee Brethren
Speaker 1: have felt about Mike Leach?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm from Tennessee, and I will tell you it's
Speaker 9: a state full of a dull dumb people for the party, Okay,
Speaker 9: it is. It's it's like a bunch of dull, dumb
Speaker 9: people who don't like anything unusual. Right, if he won,
Speaker 9: they would be like, nothing weird about that he went
Speaker 9: forward on fourth and thirty two.
Speaker 2: Jesus would do that like that, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 9: He'd won, right, year one would have been real bad, right,
Speaker 9: but he needs to be like Knoxville. I think it
Speaker 9: would have been okay because like he's never worked anywhere
Speaker 9: like major. By that, I mean like he's never worked
Speaker 9: anywhere with like a large media apparatus just like clamped
Speaker 9: to his face all the time, right, And he'd have
Speaker 9: some of that with Tennessee. But Knoxville's like as close
Speaker 9: to a hinterland as like the SEC East is really
Speaker 9: gonna get, you know, Starkfield. That's why I didn't say
Speaker 9: I love stark But yeah, but but yeah, like I
Speaker 9: think he would have been. It would have been better
Speaker 9: than expected, and he would have worn out as welcome
Speaker 9: in three to five Yeah, five years, that's right, Rent
Speaker 9: don't buy Yeah, Okay, do we have anything?
Speaker 2: We have Q and A next we have Q and a, So,
