Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal call that for me, I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy
Speaker 1: for day Edith state is that woo woom? And now
Speaker 1: Dan and Tye welcome back to the Saliburbo boys and girls.
Speaker 1: My name is ty Hilton Brandt. I am joined as
Speaker 1: always by my good friend and colleague and co hosts
Speaker 1: over there in beautiful New York City, a gentleman. You
Speaker 1: know him well as Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how are you?
Speaker 1: The audio coffin is dead Tie, That's why they call
Speaker 1: it a coffin. That's true.
Speaker 2: I have recorded my final show in the Espianation audio coffin,
Speaker 2: not because I'm leaving Espanation, but because Espianation left our
Speaker 2: old space and Vox Media, and you got a tour
Speaker 2: of it. I did last week when you were in
Speaker 2: New York briefly. So I am recording.
Speaker 1: Now in a gosh six by twelve foot like padded room,
Speaker 1: like a full on voiceover room.
Speaker 2: There's a carpet beneath me, the walls have been treated
Speaker 2: for sound. There's actual lights in here.
Speaker 1: Okay. I feel like a new man because the last
Speaker 1: booth that you were in, they are so called audio coffin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was legitimately like a stand up tanning booth. Right.
Speaker 1: It was really close confines in there.
Speaker 2: And if you do a show with more than one
Speaker 2: person in that booth, like I've pulled people in like
Speaker 2: we had who do we have Martin Rickman in there
Speaker 2: a little while ago? You know, Ryan has come in
Speaker 2: every so often, Jane has come in, Like, there's all
Speaker 2: sorts of people that will like end up in this
Speaker 2: three by three foot audio coffin.
Speaker 1: And after like a solid forty five.
Speaker 2: Minutes, not getting oxygen and not fully being comfortable where
Speaker 2: you are, You're just.
Speaker 1: Like, I kiss this person? Is what are we supposed
Speaker 1: to do? Our mouths are so close.
Speaker 2: That's what my brain sounds like in an audio coffin, right,
Speaker 2: which should make sense to everybody listening if they've ever
Speaker 2: listened to the show.
Speaker 1: So in a new space.
Speaker 2: And we're in the off season now and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: pretty stacked or stoked about that. I'm also stacked about
Speaker 2: that tie. This is when we have an opportunity to engage,
Speaker 2: I guess would be the word.
Speaker 1: Gauge, really explore the studio space if you will, and
Speaker 1: just go places, Ty, just go places. Yeah, you solicited
Speaker 1: a bunch of a bunch of questions and created a document. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is an outstanding list of questions we've got here, Dan.
Speaker 1: And what I like about the document is you not
Speaker 1: only have it loaded up with a ton but you
Speaker 1: also put it in a very specific and logical order.
Speaker 1: So and it fits what we do on the show,
Speaker 1: because it's going to start off with football and then
Speaker 1: devolve into just total madness, second stuff early. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is good. So all right, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat,
Speaker 1: all those usuals. Don't forget to subscribe at iTunes, dot
Speaker 1: com slash solid Verbal. We will be here all off
Speaker 1: season doing one podcast a week every Wednesday. Today we
Speaker 1: decided to give back to the verbawlers out there. We
Speaker 1: tend to do Q and a's periodically throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the off season. We have a lot planned, big
Speaker 1: plans for this offseason and certainly the coming football season.
Speaker 1: So keep it right here our website again, isslidverbal dot com. Dan,
Speaker 1: Before we get into any of our emails and questions
Speaker 1: and comments, did you want to give a quick run
Speaker 1: through a quick rundown of what's going on in and
Speaker 1: around the college football ether. Is there any news, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean of substance. It's mostly draft stuff, and.
Speaker 2: You know, obviously the transition between college and the pros
Speaker 2: and how people are evaluating players we've watched for three,
Speaker 2: four or five years. Arden Ki, though the sophomore stud
Speaker 2: defensive end for LSU, certainly probably the captain, the guy
Speaker 2: coming back next year from the Tigers. He has taken
Speaker 2: an indefinite leave of absence. The circumstances are unknown, so
Speaker 2: we hope everybody is okay, and it's just some sort
Speaker 2: of weird situation that needs to be dealt with. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's academics. I don't know if it's health.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there was a statement. I hope
Speaker 2: it's true that there's not a health issue. So hopefully
Speaker 2: everything can get squared away and everybody's okay. Beyond that,
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh hired the dad and a notable coach, but
Speaker 2: the dad of a twenty nineteen quarterback recruits. I have
Speaker 2: coached with him, I believe, at the University of San
Speaker 2: Diego and is now a high school coach.
Speaker 1: Not the first time Jim Harbaugh has done that, but.
Speaker 2: It's legal. It's fine. People do it all over the place.
Speaker 2: Now it's Jim Harbaugh's turn the tenth assistant coach. Right now,
Speaker 2: you're allowed to have nine assistant coaches, but a rule
Speaker 2: allowing for a tenth was up to be voted. It
Speaker 2: doesn't look like that'll be happening at least until next year.
Speaker 2: So staff size, or at least official ability to coach
Speaker 2: and interact with players, that is still going to be
Speaker 2: at nine, although schools clearly all over the place hiring
Speaker 2: analysts sort of serve in a behind the scenes game planning,
Speaker 2: breaking down tape, extension of the coaching staff role. So
Speaker 2: beyond that, not too much has been happening. The big
Speaker 2: health thing that we hope turns out all right is
Speaker 2: Bill Snyder. Yeah, I believe it's diagnosed with throat cancer.
Speaker 1: Is that the official But not losing any time on
Speaker 1: the job.
Speaker 2: Correct, We'll be working and we hope for an absolutely
Speaker 2: speedy and successful recovery for Bill Snyder, who listen, he
Speaker 2: is a wizard, and we hope it sort of deals
Speaker 2: with everything that he does. So good luck to Bill
Speaker 2: Snyder and his family and everybody. A Kansas State.
Speaker 1: We're rooting for him absolutely, all right, So relatively slow
Speaker 1: on the news front. As we get a little closer
Speaker 1: into draft season, we can cover that, bring on some
Speaker 1: of our pals. But in the meantime, let's get to questions. Congratulations, Skippy,
Speaker 1: you've got mail, You've got mail on the Solid Verbal
Speaker 1: Daniel Rubinstein. As often as we can, we like to
Speaker 1: pay homage to those of you who email in at
Speaker 1: solid verbal at gmail dot com our email address, those
Speaker 1: of you who comment on our Facebook posts, to those
Speaker 1: of you who write in on the Twitter feed. We
Speaker 1: have a document before us that is laden with questions, Dan,
Speaker 1: where are we going first?
Speaker 2: Uh, let's start with this. It's Mike, I don't know,
Speaker 2: is it Sclens? I like made up names?
Speaker 1: Glens. Yes. I asked us every year and your answer
Speaker 1: is always awesome. That's all.
Speaker 2: That's a great way to start a question. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Which eligible Which bowle eligible team will see the biggest
Speaker 2: fall this year? In which non Bowl team will see
Speaker 2: the biggest rise?
Speaker 1: Tie?
Speaker 2: Okay, do any teams including both of our teams go
Speaker 2: Irish go Ducks? Both of our teams finished four and eight.
Speaker 2: Those two teams seem like obvious answers. But let's but
Speaker 2: he said bowl teams bowl eligible. Well, he also said,
Speaker 2: you know non Bowl teams can rise. Uh, non boll
Speaker 2: teams will see the biggest rise. I think of those
Speaker 2: two are obvious, but let's start with ball eligible teams
Speaker 2: that'll that'll make a fall.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the one that kind of jumps out a
Speaker 1: little bit at me, with full working knowledge of sef
Speaker 1: o'loof oul not being with Colorado next year as well
Speaker 1: as Jim Levitt. As well as Jim Levitt, I'm a
Speaker 1: little concerned about where that could head. They had a
Speaker 1: charmed season. I'm not rooting for this by any stretch
Speaker 1: of the imagination, but I would say Colorado is a
Speaker 1: team that jumped out to me as someone who might
Speaker 1: be a candidate. Right. I know one of my risers
Speaker 1: would probably be Georgia. Georgia's defense was actually okay for
Speaker 1: a decent chunk of the year. They had problems on offense.
Speaker 1: They obviously got a young quarterback, had five losses this season.
Speaker 1: I could see them taking a big step forward in
Speaker 1: year two under Kirby Smart Jacobson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can get into this in a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm curious about Nebraska having to replace a good chunk
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball, you know, top receivers.
Speaker 2: They're gonna have a big quarterback battle, return a lot
Speaker 2: of talent on defense. The secondary should be looking pretty
Speaker 2: good even with the loss of Nake Airy, But I'm
Speaker 2: curious about that because they started so quickly. I don't
Speaker 2: think they're a six and six team, but I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be a little bit closer this year
Speaker 2: for them. I think Colorado is reasonable, although they've recruited
Speaker 2: pretty well and the infusion of talent should should continue there.
Speaker 2: Elsewhere in the Pac twelve, I don't think there's a
Speaker 2: big foller to me.
Speaker 1: Well, the big, the big obvious one is Western Michigan.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they count in this. Yeah, Houston, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Western Michigan. Houston obviously both teams losing their coach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Western Michigan losing some of their artillery in terms of offense,
Speaker 1: So that to me is pretty obvious.
Speaker 2: What about text A and M They were treading water
Speaker 2: this past year bringing in a grad transfer quarterback. I'm
Speaker 2: not all that confident that the problem is solved at quarterback.
Speaker 2: They lose a number of playmakers up front defensively led
Speaker 2: by Miles Garrett, they lose some weapons on offense. They've
Speaker 2: recruited extraordinarily well, but they seem to be a water
Speaker 2: treading team, and I don't know that the John Chavis
Speaker 2: experiment has fully worked out to the level I think
Speaker 2: Texas A and M had hoped, especially with the Eggies
Speaker 2: and their ability or lack thereof against the run. So
Speaker 2: I'm not fully confident that they're going to make an
Speaker 2: aggressive move forward Texas A and M's twenty seventeen schedule,
Speaker 2: I know a lot of teams are scheduling big, fun,
Speaker 2: exciting neutral site games home and home. So they start
Speaker 2: the season at UCLA. New ish look UCLA team on
Speaker 2: offense with a new offensive coordinator and Jed Fish coming
Speaker 2: over from Michigan. The quarterback coach for Michigan Josh Rosen,
Speaker 2: should be much healthier. Still a lot of concerns about
Speaker 2: the UCLA offense even with a Josh rose I think
Speaker 2: fair to say with how they looked most of the
Speaker 2: season last year. So they're at UCLA and then the
Speaker 2: rest of their non conference schedule early on nicol State
Speaker 2: Louisiana Lafayette. They're at Arkansas. Well, it's a neutral site
Speaker 2: game in Arlington at at and T Stadium. South Carolina
Speaker 2: and Alabama at home.
Speaker 1: Okay, not bad.
Speaker 2: If you can split those, that's a big win. They're
Speaker 2: at Florida, which who knows with the Florida offense moving forward,
Speaker 2: and they lose a ton on defense. Mississippi State at
Speaker 2: Kyle Field, Auburn at Kyle Field, New Mexico.
Speaker 1: Do you want to.
Speaker 2: Play New Mexico in future? Notre Dame head coach Bob Davy.
Speaker 2: I don't think you do. They go to Ole Miss,
Speaker 2: they go to LSU, so it's a pretty even schedule.
Speaker 2: It doesn't end favorably, but ole Miss could be who
Speaker 2: knows with Shaye Patterson. But the talent isn't what it
Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I six and six, seven and five isn't super far
Speaker 2: off to me for texta thank not far off.
Speaker 1: If they do, If they do like the doggy paddle
Speaker 1: from their current state of whatever through twenty seventeen, I
Speaker 1: will not at all be surprised they just keep it
Speaker 1: in neutral, right, you know, I wouldn't be surprised. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I feel a big rise or a
Speaker 1: big drop off for A and M. I think A
Speaker 1: and M fans are in that same boat. That's part
Speaker 1: of the problem. They're not sure if this thing is
Speaker 1: turned in the right or the wrong direction. So who
Speaker 1: are your growers? Then? Well, the big one from East Georgia.
Speaker 1: I think Georgia. Anybody else? I think George is a
Speaker 1: big one. Miami could have been in that conversation, but
Speaker 1: brag Kaya went pro mm hmm, so that one sort
Speaker 1: of caught me a little bit off guard.
Speaker 2: I'm curious. I would love to see the momentum in
Speaker 2: Aimes sco Iowas Tate. I'd love to see Matt Campbell
Speaker 2: get them to you know's, there's a drive to six
Speaker 2: element to a few teams Kansas, ty I'm not insane
Speaker 2: for saying it.
Speaker 1: Having a good recruiting class, aren't they They're recruiting well.
Speaker 2: They did some little things well last season, they beat
Speaker 2: an app blow average team in Texas.
Speaker 1: Come on, Tye, get on that train. Syracuse. Do you
Speaker 1: see them getting to six games? I like their quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh yeah, okay, next question, next question, yeah, next question,
Speaker 2: Top five or just any list of coordinators that you
Speaker 2: think could be in line to get ahead job sooner
Speaker 2: rather than later.
Speaker 1: So this is kind of like the Jesse Palmer special
Speaker 1: right here, right.
Speaker 2: This is the Jesse Palmer Memorial, even though we assume
Speaker 2: he's still alive. Question, right, I think we're both going
Speaker 2: to agree on Jomo.
Speaker 1: Jomo Joe moorehead offensive coordinator for Penn State. He was
Speaker 1: rumored to be in the mix for some jobs that
Speaker 1: came open this fall, but Joe moorehead is on that list.
Speaker 1: Another obvious one's got to be Dave Randa.
Speaker 2: Right, Dave Randa, Yeah, who I think long term may
Speaker 2: have his site set even higher, But yeah.
Speaker 1: Dave Randa, current defensive coordinator at lsu H, Lincoln Riley
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, current offensive coordinator for Oklahoma. And Bob Stoops.
Speaker 1: He's a younger guy. I think he's younger than both
Speaker 1: you and I and he's already coaching at the major
Speaker 1: college level in a serious capacity. So yeah, there's that
Speaker 1: and the other one who I don't know if he
Speaker 1: gets quite the recognition he deserves, But Todd Orlandos had
Speaker 1: a pretty good run the last couple of years. That
Speaker 1: was the name I had as well.
Speaker 2: He's been putting together defense after defense, be it at
Speaker 2: Utah State or Houston. Now he's in a position at Texas.
Speaker 2: We have no idea what jobs are going to come open,
Speaker 2: very fragile nature of employment at the college head coaching level.
Speaker 2: Tod Orlando will have an opportunity. I know he interviewed
Speaker 2: for the Houston head job. He was the Houston defensive
Speaker 2: coordinator these past few seeds past couple seasons. That'll be
Speaker 2: a big name in the PAC twelve, t Martin. If
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold has the other enormous year, I think he's
Speaker 2: becoming more and more well regarded and obviously has the
Speaker 2: history in the SEC as a player. I mean Pep Hamilton.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people like him will be
Speaker 2: running an offense for the first time in a while
Speaker 2: at the college level at Michigan taking over there. I
Speaker 2: know we have a couple questions about Michigan. Tom Allen
Speaker 2: would have been my answer had Tom Allen already yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, all of a sudden, So that's my answer there.
Speaker 1: I think those are that's a good batch, all right,
Speaker 1: rapid fire. Where are we going next here? Rapid fire?
Speaker 1: We're going to JP.
Speaker 2: That last question was from I think it was Christoph.
Speaker 2: It's not the full Christopher.
Speaker 1: Was that the guy that ran the Truman Show? Was
Speaker 1: that his name Krystal Christof I like that movie. Movie
Speaker 1: freaked me out a little bit little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, JP wants to know best taco truck in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: That is a three pronged answer for me. I still
Speaker 2: love the Kogie Barbecue truck, a classic, so good Ricky's
Speaker 2: for fish tacos. It's behind a Vaughan's in East Hollywood,
Speaker 2: not far from the Scientology Center.
Speaker 1: Nice. And also the Mariscos Jalisco truck. Mariscos being shrimp.
Speaker 2: Seafood nice, well, just seafood come out on as shrimp.
Speaker 2: The Mariscos Halisco truck. They have like two or three
Speaker 2: of them now downtown and East LA. It is the
Speaker 2: best shrimp taco in America, and it's not particularly close.
Speaker 2: They're crispy and fried and amazing and smothered in salson
Speaker 2: avocado and related. What do you think of USC's national
Speaker 2: championship chances in twenty eighteen?
Speaker 1: I feel better Come, I'll ride the train. I feel
Speaker 1: better about it. I'm looking at their schedule right now,
Speaker 1: Western Michigan. That's a winnable game favorite bye week on
Speaker 1: the schedule. You see, Yeah, Stanford second week, Texas third week.
Speaker 1: That'll be interesting. But they got them at home.
Speaker 2: Body blow at body Blow, Tom Herman in a big spot.
Speaker 1: At Washington State, Oregon State, Utah at Notre game at
Speaker 1: Arizona State. Yeah, I mean it's front loaded and backloaded,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of like creamy stuff in the middle. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean we've all been there, Washington and Oregon not
Speaker 2: on this schedule now. It's probably a pretty decent thing.
Speaker 2: Oregon will should have a good offense. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to talk about their defense. Washington should return a really
Speaker 2: nice offense, though they lose John Ross, number of big
Speaker 2: players on defense, but they returned via to Bay. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're going to lose at least one game. That doesn't
Speaker 2: mean they're not going to win the National championship. But
Speaker 2: without a bye week, they'll probably lose. Man I that
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame, Utah and at Arizona State and consecutive weeks,
Speaker 2: it feels like they're going to lose one of those,
Speaker 2: which they should absolutely not lose. I'm not as worried
Speaker 2: about going to Colorado, although I like Steven Montese some Ucla.
Speaker 2: We have no idea what no will look like, no
Speaker 2: idea go anywhere. That Texas game, though, Ty Tom Herman
Speaker 2: is a good big game coach, irrefutable, right. Yeah, after
Speaker 2: last year beating Louisville and oklahom.
Speaker 1: After stanford'll be nice and tender. Yeah, I could see it.
Speaker 1: That could be it. Early body blow warning right here,
Speaker 1: early body blow warning. That's all we're going to say.
Speaker 1: I got the sound there you go. Oh oh, just
Speaker 1: what you always wanted?
Speaker 2: All right, ten and a half over under, That's what
Speaker 2: I'm just making up for USC wins.
Speaker 1: Wins, uh under Wow, Okay, ten in a half a while,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. All right, Next question, Yeah, where's next? Uh?
Speaker 2: Sort of related? Texas back yet from Joey Chamberlain. Texas
Speaker 2: will always be Texas. How many wins does Texas need
Speaker 2: to be? Quote back, it's not even back. It's been
Speaker 2: so long. Is Texas good? I don't even think.
Speaker 1: It's a win thing, Dan, Ultimately it's to be a
Speaker 1: win thing in like three years. But I think it's
Speaker 1: a quality thing. I think it's a consistency thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think they will get offensive consistency now under Tom Herman.
Speaker 1: That they didn't have previously. He's just so good at
Speaker 1: coaching offense. If he can do it at Houston, if
Speaker 1: he could do it in the capacity he did at
Speaker 1: Ohio State in that crazy turn of events with Cardile Jones,
Speaker 1: I think he can do it pretty much anywhere, especially
Speaker 1: at Texas where he's going to have a ton of talent.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule. Now, tell me how many
Speaker 1: losses you think are on the schedule. Texas seven. Texas
Speaker 1: brings a lot back. They're actually quite young. Maryland, San
Speaker 1: Diego State at USC that could be a loss. That
Speaker 1: might be one at Iowa State. Excuse me, k State?
Speaker 1: Oklahoma pencil in nothing with Texas. Iowa State, I pencil
Speaker 1: in nothing. Oklahoma could be a loss. Probably will be
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. I don't know about tam Yeah. At Baylor,
Speaker 1: who the hell knows? At TCU could be a loss. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kansas could be a loss. I mean we say could
Speaker 1: be a loss. Did they not lose TC like thirty
Speaker 1: one to six in extraordinarily ugly fashion? They did, yep
Speaker 1: at West Virginia and close out the year at home
Speaker 1: against Tech. Yeah. So if I said over under.
Speaker 2: Eight wins, oh, I think I'd take the under Okay,
Speaker 2: I okay. So Tom Herman is a great head coach.
Speaker 2: We agree with that in terms of like his ability
Speaker 2: to sort of establish a culture and communicate and hire
Speaker 2: and recruits. I think he is a very, very very
Speaker 2: good head coach. Great might be too far. But the
Speaker 2: Houston offense wasn't particularly good last year. No, you speak
Speaker 2: confidently about Tom Herman's offensi ability. They finished season like
Speaker 2: eightieth nationally in offense, and that's playing in a non
Speaker 2: power conference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so actually played, They played their best games against
Speaker 1: the best teams in their schedule, exactly.
Speaker 2: They got up for games they almost played to their
Speaker 2: opponents a little bit too much. So I'm curious to
Speaker 2: see because it's going to be a shift on some level,
Speaker 2: and they don't have Danta Foreman, who's gone pro. It's
Speaker 2: I'm curious about their offensive identity and what it looks like.
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to pencil in a statement like we
Speaker 2: know their offense is going to be good.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I'm not ready to say that.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Joe, is it Yan's or Yannis
Speaker 1: Our next question? Let's go yan A. What are the
Speaker 1: top five least likable fan bases in college football? This
Speaker 1: what is your definition? Time? This question is going to
Speaker 1: get us in a world of trouble least likable fan bases? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: Is this the fan base that is the most consistently
Speaker 2: obnoxious by our arbitrary definition of consistent. Is it an
Speaker 2: in person thing like in the stadium they're the worst?
Speaker 2: Is it, you know, a Twitter thing? Is it a
Speaker 2: harassment thing of everybody that can be harassed?
Speaker 1: Is it an unrealistic expectation thing? Okay, I see where
Speaker 1: you're going with this, So I would say it's too
Speaker 1: pronged the answer. The first thing that I will look
Speaker 1: at is consistency. Okay, not all fan bases fall into
Speaker 1: that category. Not all fan bases are consistently terrible or
Speaker 1: consistently great. And then beyond that, if you run out
Speaker 1: of options, I think you need to look at the
Speaker 1: extra look at the polls to see, at least in
Speaker 1: our limited knowledge here, which ones have been at their
Speaker 1: worst when things are going a little bit haywire with
Speaker 1: the program?
Speaker 2: Can I nominate the worst, very very very very very
Speaker 2: outlying bottom sure fan base? It's got to be Penn State, right,
Speaker 2: I would say so? Yeah, Penn State is on my list.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the lowest one percent yet, not
Speaker 1: as a consistently terrible fan base. Certainly, every fan as
Speaker 1: a whole has their obnoxious entities that no one wants
Speaker 1: to claim, but Penn State at its absolute worst. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying that as a Penn Staker, I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say also here as a fan of this team,
Speaker 1: that Notre Dame's fan base needs to be on this list. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've been in countless stadiums with Notre Dame fans who
Speaker 1: are just utterly clueless as to what's going on. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's like a hearing aid thing. I've had
Speaker 1: bad experiences with Notre Dame and fans in the stadium.
Speaker 1: And then along the same lines, I think Michigan needs
Speaker 1: to be on this list, not because again of any
Speaker 1: pure animosity towards you or I, but they're just really
Speaker 1: sensitive in a way that I don't always expect. So Michigan,
Speaker 1: I feel, deserves to be on this list. If I'm
Speaker 1: doing a top.
Speaker 2: Five, I'm going to recuse myself. I am marrying into
Speaker 2: a proud Michigan family.
Speaker 1: Well that's fine. You have others.
Speaker 2: Now there is there is a self importance to to
Speaker 2: Michigan fans. That's not the most common thing across college football.
Speaker 2: But I will say this solid fiance's uncle, who's great.
Speaker 2: I was just hanging out in Chicago because I had
Speaker 2: a bridal shower to go to. I had a tasting,
Speaker 2: I had a catering tasting whatever whatever it's called to
Speaker 2: go to. Met with the band anyway, met with you know,
Speaker 2: had pizza as a family thing. What the uncle was there?
Speaker 2: The uncle, one of her uncles was there and he's
Speaker 2: die Die Die Die Hard Michigan. And it was the
Speaker 2: most sort of realistic and measured a conversation as I've
Speaker 2: ever had with him. So maybe the like back to
Speaker 2: back third place divisional finishes, is that what it is?
Speaker 1: I think the place?
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's sort of tempering the Harbor hype a
Speaker 2: little bit. Okay, maybe I don't know. Yeah, who else.
Speaker 1: Is on your list? Tennessee as a whole is you
Speaker 1: said that show too. I don't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: of experience with Tennessee fans. The Tennessee people I've met
Speaker 1: have been have been rather kind.
Speaker 2: I think, Oh, there's a great portion of Tennessee fans
Speaker 2: who are kind. But there's something about having a list
Speaker 2: expectations with a non current a list program and seeing
Speaker 2: everybody else around you have their like moment in the sun, like, Oh,
Speaker 2: here's Florida for a few years. Oh here's Auburn for
Speaker 2: a couple of years. Because Alabama never ever ever ending.
Speaker 2: You know, South Carolina pops up TEXTA A and m
Speaker 2: pops up with the Heisman, you know, but Tennessee hasn't.
Speaker 2: They have that expectation, and there's like this bubbling it's
Speaker 2: the crock pot of evil. Yeah, to me, it's bubbling
Speaker 2: over with Tennessee and that sort of comes out in
Speaker 2: bad ways.
Speaker 1: Florida, for me, is on the list. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of obnoxious Florida fans. And I say that primarily
Speaker 1: because most of the Florida fans I know are the
Speaker 1: ones making Notre Dame jokes. I don't think that the
Speaker 1: worst even in the state. No, Florida State is also
Speaker 1: on my list. So my five teams again Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida,
Speaker 1: Florida State, and I got Penn State at the bottom.
Speaker 1: Florida State on this list anyway, falls into the same
Speaker 1: category as Penn State. Yeah, if we're going to define
Speaker 1: by the worst, Florida State had a little bit of
Speaker 1: a run there with James Winston where it got pretty sour,
Speaker 1: but by all large, I haven't had problems with Florida
Speaker 1: State people in a while, and I root for Florida State.
Speaker 1: They're an exciting team. But there was that one moment
Speaker 1: in the sun that I will never forget. Okay, question
Speaker 1: where are we going next? Here? Quickly? Just you don't
Speaker 1: need to rank a top three.
Speaker 2: This is our pal Dan Klobacar asking who's your favorite
Speaker 2: announcing team, aside from like the big A list guys
Speaker 2: TV announcing or women team that you particularly enjoy and
Speaker 2: that can include the sideline reporter.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be Adam a mean right,
Speaker 1: we do love Adam amean I have.
Speaker 2: We had a couple people at the live show who
Speaker 2: took exception to Mac Brown as a broadcaster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan.
Speaker 2: I listen, he campaigned against cal and that was garbage,
Speaker 2: But other than that, I enjoy him as a broadcaster.
Speaker 2: I will also say, and not many people are going
Speaker 2: to be able to confirm or deny this, but I'm
Speaker 2: biased We're biased as a show, really like Ted Robinson
Speaker 2: and Yogi Roth. Yeah, we see what Yogi does preparing
Speaker 2: for games and just how passionate he is about football. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there is not a single take from Yogi Roth. It
Speaker 2: is all just football streaming out a love of football
Speaker 2: and the deep, deep dive of nerdiness of stuff he notices.
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I am more apt to give
Speaker 1: you my underrated announcer, my underrated analyst. They call him
Speaker 1: a field analysts. I say it every year. I tweet
Speaker 1: it like two or three times a year. Tom Lougan
Speaker 1: Bill does an awesome job on the sidelines. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: also super prepared, does an awesome, awesome job. And to
Speaker 1: that same degree, Todd mcshay's in the conversation too. Those
Speaker 1: guys bring a lot to every broadcast they work. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Interesting how women are sideline reporters and men are field analysts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a separate topic altogether. Huh.
Speaker 2: All right, next question, Jeremy, you guys planning to have kids.
Speaker 1: That's an awkward transition there, man, So it is.
Speaker 2: Well, the question before that was what would you do
Speaker 2: if you switch bodies slash lives for a day?
Speaker 1: Wow, what would you do? Ty? I guess the first
Speaker 1: thing I do would be to try and figure out
Speaker 1: why you're so bad at ping pong? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: how dare you beyond that? I think I have respects now, Todd.
Speaker 1: I think i'd want to go for a run in
Speaker 1: your body. I don't want to feel your pain. That
Speaker 1: would perhaps give me a deeper connection to who you
Speaker 1: are as a human. What a strange answer it is.
Speaker 2: I would just go over to Mama H's house and
Speaker 2: enjoy a homemade meal and just enjoy her. Just scorching
Speaker 2: Hot takes on literally anybody under thirty on television.
Speaker 1: So if we if we switch bodies, yeah, would we
Speaker 1: be able to tell our loved ones and our friends
Speaker 1: that question that we were in someone else's body? Or
Speaker 1: would we have to like act as if we were
Speaker 1: like a Freaky Friday type scenario? Are you asking me
Speaker 1: for permission to be with my lady? Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: directly asking it, but I guess I kind of am. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's a two way street. It is a two
Speaker 1: way street.
Speaker 2: I would say no, but I would faint, Like if
Speaker 2: if why Kate were particularly feeling me, I would say
Speaker 2: I would I would beg off and say not tonight, honey,
Speaker 2: not tonight. I never say the word honey. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I'm saying now. I'm trying to inhabit you.
Speaker 1: I don't do that either, Dan, I would say no,
Speaker 1: but I would be very curious about, like behind closed doors,
Speaker 1: what the dynamic is like. Yeah, so I would not say, Kate,
Speaker 1: I'm actually Dan and Tie's body I would. I would
Speaker 1: play it up.
Speaker 2: I think she would discover really early because I don't
Speaker 2: know that i'd be able to speak like you.
Speaker 1: I'm a very dumb person. Well if you if you
Speaker 1: had my body, you'd have my voice. True, But would
Speaker 1: I have your soul? You probably wouldn't have my soul now,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't have your soul either. Okay, good question.
Speaker 2: Give me one coach you think would make up for
Speaker 2: a very good president in college football.
Speaker 1: James Franklin. Total snake oil salesman. You put him out
Speaker 1: on the on the presidential circuit, on the recruiting trail.
Speaker 1: That's that's his element.
Speaker 2: So that's the advert. The adjective excuse me, is enjoyable?
Speaker 2: Right this question, Aaron asked, enjoyable?
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy a snake oil salesman coach from each
Speaker 1: conference to most likely, okay, be an enjoyable president.
Speaker 2: So here's the baseline I'm giving you. I'm gonna speak
Speaker 2: for Aaron here. I'm gonna need some charm. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: need some likability. I'm gonna need some intellect. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: need an ability to command a crowd, and i'm gonna
Speaker 2: need just I need some charisma.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need like a statesman like presence. I think
Speaker 1: James Frankl is the answer here.
Speaker 2: Okay, because you said snake oil salesman. That has a
Speaker 2: negative connotation. I'm looking for positive attributes.
Speaker 1: Well, he said presidential candidate, which kind of has a
Speaker 1: negative connotation too.
Speaker 2: I want I want your absolutely true in that statement.
Speaker 2: I want an enjoyable candidate in.
Speaker 1: A positive way. Gundhy would be interesting because he'd be
Speaker 1: a loose cannon. Does he come across as smart publicly
Speaker 1: to you? I think he could.
Speaker 2: Kirby's it's already the governor of Georgia, so that's a
Speaker 2: decent enough.
Speaker 1: I have Kirby smart written down here. Mm hmm. I
Speaker 1: think he would play well to that southern conservative base,
Speaker 1: if only because of how he dresses. Yeah, Mark Rick
Speaker 1: at Miami is interesting. God Man is not high moral character,
Speaker 1: charisma not so much high diving. Yeah, David Shaw. I
Speaker 1: think David Shaw is my answer. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: back to the question at hand. We'll just make this
Speaker 1: quick because we got to do you guys having kids?
Speaker 1: Are we? Are you having kids together? Me and you? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: with solid wife, solid fiance, solid fiance. Are we going
Speaker 1: to have kids? That's the plan. But but Ty for
Speaker 1: some reason doesn't work out. Okay, all right? Are you
Speaker 1: playing on having kids? That? That is the initial plan?
Speaker 1: What initial ty? You're married? That is the plan as
Speaker 1: of now. Would you go with an H in front
Speaker 1: of hilden brandt? No?
Speaker 2: Would you go with a sound that ends in ill?
Speaker 2: Would you go like Phil Hildenbrand No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no? Would you go? How modern would you
Speaker 1: go with your name? Do you skew classic? I skew classic,
Speaker 1: I skew more syllables than less? Probably wouldn't go like JaMarcus,
Speaker 1: I don't think, but definitely something more of the classic
Speaker 1: type of per Right.
Speaker 2: These are the fastest rising boys' names for January twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: Twenty top me might need like twenty nineteen, twenty seventeen's well,
Speaker 1: I know what I'm just telling you right now. Stop me.
Speaker 2: When we get to a name that you would say
Speaker 2: I could see blank hilden brandt Okay, okay, okay, this
Speaker 2: is weird, by the way, but okay, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this name is so strange. Kid kyd No, kid, that's
Speaker 2: a fast riser, that's plus four thousand percent.
Speaker 1: Okay, No, definitely not okay. B e n a j
Speaker 1: a h b e n a j a A No.
Speaker 1: I can't even say it. No Suleian s u l
Speaker 1: i e n Are you on the English language?
Speaker 2: I'm on name, I think so, yeah, this is I
Speaker 2: can't pronounce anything. So number four is CoA five Monther
Speaker 2: six cash and seven Booreguard eight Alb nine Isaac ten Lousian.
Speaker 2: The number three fastest rising girl's name is Tahiti. Next question,
Speaker 2: so the answer is yes, most likely our friend Dakota
Speaker 2: aka dak just got a vegetable twister.
Speaker 1: I've always have one of those. I know this is good.
Speaker 2: I've always heard spiralizer, yep, but I like vegetable twister
Speaker 2: a lot better.
Speaker 1: The solid wife cut her finger on it had to
Speaker 1: take her to get stitches. That's so be careful, Dakota.
Speaker 1: It's a damn shame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes those like you can make little veggie noodles
Speaker 2: with them instead of using pasta. Do you guys use
Speaker 2: any out of the ordinary cooking instruments like that on
Speaker 2: a daily basis?
Speaker 1: Bonus? What's the weirdest cooking instrument you've seen? I have
Speaker 1: a good answer for this because you spiralized, tie, I
Speaker 1: have spiralized, but I have a new entrant in this category.
Speaker 1: What I'm head over heels for. Yeah, do you have
Speaker 1: an answer before I give mine? Not? Really?
Speaker 2: I use a potato masher to make guacamole. Okay, No,
Speaker 2: I really don't have a strong answer, but I did
Speaker 2: just register for a spiralizer, so I guess that would
Speaker 2: be my answer.
Speaker 1: A good thing to have, Yeah, I recently picked up,
Speaker 1: thanks to an Amazon deal, one of these souvied cookers. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you familiar with the souvied cooking fad right now?
Speaker 1: I am so.
Speaker 2: Basically, if you don't know souvied is you put your
Speaker 2: food in like correct me if I'm wrong, tie a
Speaker 2: plastic bag and you set it into a water bath,
Speaker 2: set to cook it at a very specific temperature. For
Speaker 2: it's a low temperature for an extended amount of time,
Speaker 2: so it evenly cooks to a very specific to a
Speaker 2: decimal point.
Speaker 1: To that's correct. So my very limited understanding of the
Speaker 1: French language is that souvd means to basically cook in
Speaker 1: a vacuum. You're cooking in a vacuum. So you put
Speaker 1: whatever food it is you want to cook in a
Speaker 1: plastic bag. You can use a zip block bag, you
Speaker 1: can use if you've got a vacuum sealer, you could
Speaker 1: use that too, But you basically put it in. You
Speaker 1: set your suvie cooker to warm the water to a
Speaker 1: very specific temperature, drop the food in, let it cook
Speaker 1: for usually about forty five minutes, and then you pop
Speaker 1: it out and it is awesome. I had one of
Speaker 1: the best steaks I've ever eaten in it. I've had chicken,
Speaker 1: I've had fish, I've I've been trying the full work
Speaker 1: since I got this thing. So that that way is
Speaker 1: my answer. Have you done the reverse seer thing? I
Speaker 1: have you slow? Okay, so you souv et it?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then it's cooked all the way through,
Speaker 2: but you want some crust to it, then you throw
Speaker 2: it for a quick sear.
Speaker 1: And that's right or something that's right. That's what I
Speaker 1: did with my misteak and it was fantastic, So I'd
Speaker 1: recommend it to anybody.
Speaker 2: Can you let the fans decide a final Fantasy Things
Speaker 2: score via Google form?
Speaker 1: Hard to hear.
Speaker 2: Dan bullied tie for forty five minutes to steal a tie.
Speaker 1: That comes from Kevin. All right, So did you feel bullied?
Speaker 1: I don't feel bullied. No, everybody's on your side. Everybody's
Speaker 1: on my side.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The feedback was unanimous in favor of me. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I think I won tie.
Speaker 2: Like the Labor Secretary nominee of the day, I humbly withdraw.
Speaker 2: I humbly withdraw and conceive that I am not the
Speaker 2: man okay to take over the throne. You have won
Speaker 2: our first ever calculated Fantasy Things all right, competition.
Speaker 1: That was from Kevin. Thank you. All right, let's pay
Speaker 1: some bills and actually, Dan, we got a question about
Speaker 1: paying the bills we did.
Speaker 2: Hans wants to know why you're the one who is
Speaker 2: always sort of in charge of taking care of our advertisements.
Speaker 1: So usually I have the ads in front of me. Right,
Speaker 1: it's not that I don't trust Dan with any kind
Speaker 1: of treasured ad reading here. I think it's a good
Speaker 1: strategy though, he's more than capable. Yeah, would you like
Speaker 1: me to go first? We have two Would you like
Speaker 1: me to kind of set the stage? Or do you
Speaker 1: want to go first? And then I could follow you?
Speaker 2: You know what, Ty, I'm just going to jump into
Speaker 2: the water. Okay, I'm just jumping in here. We go, Ty.

Speaker 2: Cups finally won the World Series, we said goodbye to
Speaker 2: far too many celebrities. Hey, rest in peace, Prince, we
Speaker 2: love you. And the election Game Game Changer, Tie, Game Changer,
Speaker 2: And if twenty seventeen is anywhere near as eventful as
Speaker 2: last year was, it might get a little difficult to
Speaker 2: stay in formed.
Speaker 1: Ty.

Speaker 2: so many options out there, But it doesn't have to

Speaker 2: scene pina.
Speaker 1: With that is not English, right, that is on English?
Speaker 2: I would say, with some pineapple, pineapple when you go
Speaker 2: to dinner. This is from Carter and a movie with
Speaker 2: the solid wife slash fiance, which comes first dinner or
Speaker 2: the movie Carter?
Speaker 1: Carter raises a very interesting question. Yeah, typically it's dinner
Speaker 1: in a movie. You start with the dinner, you finish
Speaker 1: out with the movie. Mm hmm. My problem is when
Speaker 1: I start with the dinner and you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: know this all too well done. Not because we've gone
Speaker 1: on many dinner and movie dates together, mind you, but
Speaker 1: you see me in action watching my team in the
Speaker 1: National championship game.
Speaker 2: You see me in action making out during a movie.
Speaker 2: That's right, I will it's all in the hips.
Speaker 1: Cite my relatively recent performance at the first Avengers movie.
Speaker 1: Whenever that came out. We did the dinner in a
Speaker 1: movie thing, did a dinner, it was great, went to
Speaker 1: the movie. It was a later showing because we did
Speaker 1: a later dinner and Avengers an action packed Marvel thriller.
Speaker 1: I was out cold, out cold in the movie theater
Speaker 1: wearing the three D glasses. Not my proudest moment. That's
Speaker 1: my problem with the solid fiance. Where I'm going with
Speaker 1: this is that maybe if I do the movie first
Speaker 1: and then the dinner second. That gives me more of
Speaker 1: an impetus to stay awake. Right, So maybe I am
Speaker 1: doing it wrong going to like a.
Speaker 2: Five pm, five pm movie, seven pm dinner, because.
Speaker 1: If you get the early movie, then you beat the
Speaker 1: rush too. You go at five pm, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: be at theater.
Speaker 2: I'm totally with you. I don't know that I've actually
Speaker 2: ever done it. But upon thinking about this question, yeah,
Speaker 2: movie and dinners great especially.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Now, though I don't know if they have this now intown,
Speaker 2: I assume that they do. Do you have the theater
Speaker 2: that serves food yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like they will bring food to your seats,
Speaker 2: and they're like, actual.
Speaker 1: They're building one about five minutes away from here. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: I've been to a couple of those those our nights
Speaker 2: and that combines everything, and that's that's excellent.
Speaker 1: I don't like staying out late. I like sleeping. I
Speaker 1: like lounging. That's the that's the answer. My favorite current
Speaker 1: movie slash cinema trend is the movie theater down the
Speaker 1: street now does reserve seating only. Oh that's great, reserve seating.
Speaker 1: See go online. You go Fandango, not a sponsor, get
Speaker 1: your tickets, pick your seats, and then you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about going super early to get a seat.
Speaker 1: Just walk in, sit down, You're good to go.
Speaker 2: Ty On that note, do you see Michigan taking a
Speaker 2: step forward or step back in twenty seventeen?
Speaker 1: Wow, Jason, I think a step back? Same I am.
Speaker 2: So they've recruited very well, undeniably, so they have maybe
Speaker 2: the best receiver in the country coming in. I believe
Speaker 2: his name is Donovan People's Jones or one of the
Speaker 2: maybe five best receivers coming in, which is necessary because
Speaker 2: they lose Jessen and Darbo right sures Jake. But I
Speaker 2: don't think the Wilton Spate year was considered to be
Speaker 2: an overwhelming success with how he finished out the year
Speaker 2: and performed against the better defenses on their schedule. Defensively,
Speaker 2: I think they lose their entire secondary and their entire
Speaker 2: defensive line, but they blew out a ton of teams
Speaker 2: and of course Gabriel Peppers who was everywhere. They blew
Speaker 2: out a bunch of teams, so they did get a
Speaker 2: ton of rotation experience in I don't see them getting
Speaker 2: to the playoff this coming year. No, nor do I ooh,
Speaker 2: this is interesting. How do you just feel in general
Speaker 2: about Bob Diaco and Nebraska.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Bob Diako fan. I think it's a
Speaker 1: great frint at Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've looked up Nebraska, and as it turns out,
Speaker 2: they lose a lot of people. Yes, they do. The
Speaker 2: secondary is mostly intact. There's a lot of promise and
Speaker 2: depth on defense, but it is not It is not
Speaker 2: rife with experience and offensively quarterback battle. They lose Trell Nuby,
Speaker 2: they lose both Brandon Riley and Jordan Westercamp. Up front,
Speaker 2: they lose a good deal. I think it's a step
Speaker 2: back year, but I think Diaco puts together a promising
Speaker 2: and it's not an aggressive attacking defense. No, it's much
Speaker 2: more smart reacts. It's ben but don't break. Right, it's
Speaker 2: bend but don't break. And again, the best defenses of
Speaker 2: the Brian Kelly era. We're under Bob Diaco.
Speaker 1: This is true. They were under Bob Daka, so I
Speaker 1: think I think he's a good fit. We talked about
Speaker 1: a ton of top top blue chip talent, though, right
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about this at the list show.
Speaker 1: Kind of a weird dude, right, kind of a weird dude.
Speaker 1: But I think he will fit in really well there,
Speaker 1: So I'd be excited if I were a Nebraska fan.
Speaker 2: So I have a question. I think this should be
Speaker 2: our last question. It's a life question from it looks
Speaker 2: like a Wisconsin fan tie page.
Speaker 1: This is my favorite question maybe that we've ever received.
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite questions that we've ever received.
Speaker 2: And it was such an interesting question to me and
Speaker 2: that I didn't have the immediately the immediate answer for
Speaker 2: so I actually conferred with our resident exper our life expert,
Speaker 2: doctor Jane. I don't have a recording. It sounded like
Speaker 2: I was going about to play it, but she had
Speaker 2: a very good answer that I will also talk about.
Speaker 1: So, why don't you? Since I did the ad read
Speaker 1: why don't you take this? I humbly call upon the
Speaker 1: almighty altar of ty ANDed in for life help and
Speaker 1: how to say no. Here is the background. My wife
Speaker 1: works in a relatively small office. One of her male employees,
Speaker 1: along with his girlfriend, became a part of our friend
Speaker 1: group a few months ago. While they've become part of
Speaker 1: our larger group. They're not necessarily staples in the evening
Speaker 1: and on weekend activities. However, we all enjoy spending time
Speaker 1: with them. About a month ago, the coworker proposed to
Speaker 1: his girlfriend and she said yes, congratulations, Hey, give love
Speaker 1: a chance. Jlac Well, apparently the coworker has a large
Speaker 1: number of groomsmen and the bride to be has quite
Speaker 1: a few less. Over the past couple weeks, she's referred
Speaker 1: to my wife being perhaps one of her bridesmaids, acknowledging
Speaker 1: that she has a lot of groomsmen to match up
Speaker 1: as one of the primary reasons. The wedding isn't for
Speaker 1: another year and it's on the other side of the country.
Speaker 1: My wife isn't one hundred percent sure about committing to
Speaker 1: this role. However, she hasn't officially been asked yet. He says,
Speaker 1: as a somewhat recently married man and a one hundred
Speaker 1: percent recently engaged man, I come to you two gentlemen
Speaker 1: for help with our quandary. When slash, how should my
Speaker 1: wife raise her lack of interest? Can my wife say
Speaker 1: no without causing problems at work? Is it weird if
Speaker 1: my wife is being slotted into this position after knowing
Speaker 1: the bride to be for only mirror months. Dan, Tie help,
Speaker 1: I need life advice. This is an awesome question. It's great.
Speaker 1: This is an awesome question. And I'm not even gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this one for the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours.
Speaker 2: So you said you conferred, Yes, do you want doctor
Speaker 2: Jane's opinion first?
Speaker 1: Don't?
Speaker 2: I think yes? We can go into what doctor Jane said,
Speaker 2: because I think it's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 1: Okay, what did doctor Jane say?
Speaker 2: She said, part of being an adult, part of being
Speaker 2: a grown up, and I'm quoting because I'm still I
Speaker 2: have a lot of questions still, Yeah, is learning how
Speaker 2: to be direct with people and learning how to be
Speaker 2: honest with people in a way that is mature and
Speaker 2: not harsh, but at the same time leaving no doubt
Speaker 2: as to where you stand. It's a tough thing to do,
Speaker 2: I mean, this situation and anything else, but that's part
Speaker 2: of what it is now. Obviously you said go sleep
Speaker 2: in another room when we were faced with the convention
Speaker 2: before with the dog.
Speaker 1: So we're all growing, ty, we're all growing.
Speaker 2: So she said specifically, it doesn't sound like a date
Speaker 2: has been set for the wedding, right, correct, So there
Speaker 2: hasn't been an official Hey, I would be honored if
Speaker 2: you were my bridesmaid. That conversation hasn't happened yet. But
Speaker 2: when it does, when a data set and it's across
Speaker 2: the country and she's like, hey, I'd be really honored,
Speaker 2: the proper response is probably, hey, I'm really honored that
Speaker 2: you ask me. I'm not exactly sure if I'll be
Speaker 2: able to travel with you know, just life happening, and
Speaker 2: I don't want to be able to commit to that anything,
Speaker 2: but I'm looking forward to attending as a guest. I'm
Speaker 2: just not sure I can commit to anything else. And
Speaker 2: it doesn't sound very direct. Scene that's hatchie and that's
Speaker 2: not direct. I think it's pretty direct.
Speaker 1: I mean it's well, it's not accepting it, and then
Speaker 1: it's not accepting it and like begging off right, it's
Speaker 1: saying I don't I can't do the bridesmaid thing, but
Speaker 1: I would love to attend as a guest. Okay, what
Speaker 1: does Dan Rubinstein have to say?
Speaker 2: It's tough, man, it's a tough thing, but I think
Speaker 2: it's that's probably the best thing.
Speaker 1: It's so.
Speaker 2: Jane also has a really good strategy for reacting to
Speaker 2: an invitation without committing. I don't know if you have
Speaker 2: a strategy for something like that, like you respond in
Speaker 2: an affirmative without actually saying you'll go to something. Jane says,
Speaker 2: this is one of the advantages of being married Dan, right,
Speaker 2: because once you always have an excuse, oh thank you,
Speaker 2: I have to check with so and so. Well, that's
Speaker 2: not really a response for being a bridesmaid. But if
Speaker 2: the bridesmaid or the soon to be wife is talking
Speaker 2: to the woman in the office about you know, we're
Speaker 2: going here for the bachelorette party, always respond with and
Speaker 2: this is I'm quoting Jane here. She does this all
Speaker 2: I've invited Jane to things, and this is what she said,
Speaker 2: Oh fun, oh fun. It doesn't say, oh my god,
Speaker 2: that will be amazing for me to go to. Right,
Speaker 2: She's just acknowledging the fun of what it sounds. She's
Speaker 2: just adding a word behind oh oh fun. Right, oh fun.
Speaker 2: Here's here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? You guys are going at this
Speaker 1: the wrong way. He gave you. He gave you all
Speaker 1: that you need to know in this question. And so
Speaker 1: instead of focusing in on mister Wisconsin. How you should
Speaker 1: get out of it. The most important thing to evaluate
Speaker 1: first is where in fact this trip would take you.
Speaker 1: All Right, now, he says, that's just the trip. It's
Speaker 1: not just a trip. But hold on, as someone who's
Speaker 1: been to a bunch of these types of things, Yeah,
Speaker 1: oftentimes the people in this part of the country are
Speaker 1: going to have weddings in southern California mm hmm, in Cancun, Yeah,
Speaker 1: somewhere in the Caribbean, somewhere fun that I wouldn't normally
Speaker 1: have an excuse to go to. Right, judging from the
Speaker 1: fact that he's a Wisconsin fan, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make a guess here. He's not from a warm weather place,
Speaker 1: and if he's going somewhere nice, then perhaps that gives
Speaker 1: him him an excuse to go to this thing. So
Speaker 1: the next question is, well, okay, I'd love to go
Speaker 1: to Cancoon or Porta Vay Arts. I don't know, somewhere south.
Speaker 1: I'd love to go there, but I'm afraid of the commitment.
Speaker 1: It says other side of the country, other side of
Speaker 1: the country. Okay, so it's probably a coast to coast, right,
Speaker 1: I'm eager to go to said location. But my wife
Speaker 1: is a little bit concerned about the actual level of
Speaker 1: commitment here. A. You don't got to go to the
Speaker 1: bachelorette party. You can easily wiggle your way out of
Speaker 1: that one. I got something else going. It's going to
Speaker 1: cost too much money. There are plenty of ways that
Speaker 1: you can be direct about that without ruining any kind
Speaker 1: of friendship in the office. Right. And Secondly, depending on
Speaker 1: depending on what the requirements are for this wedding, You're
Speaker 1: not always required to buy a special kind of dress,
Speaker 1: You're not always required to do a whole lot in
Speaker 1: the way of actual commitments surrounding people have to fly
Speaker 1: to showers. I'm saying you don't have to do that. Right.
Speaker 1: If this is a situation where she's literally just snapping
Speaker 1: people onto the guest list to try and fill out
Speaker 1: somewhat of an even spread here between groomsmen and bridesmaids,
Speaker 1: I think it's probably within the realm here that she'd
Speaker 1: get away with not having to commit to the full
Speaker 1: complement of wedding activities. Yeah, so what I'd say is,
Speaker 1: first evaluate where it's at. Secondly, if it's somewhere you
Speaker 1: want to go, push the envelope A little bit and
Speaker 1: see how much you can get away with if you
Speaker 1: do commit to this wedding without having to commit to everything,
Speaker 1: and if it turns out that you can go to
Speaker 1: a cool place without having to sign your life away
Speaker 1: or pay a million dollars to be part of a
Speaker 1: wedding and get the official attire and whatnot, then I
Speaker 1: think it's just a good excuse to go enjoy yourself
Speaker 1: in a place that you wouldn't normally go to.
Speaker 2: You're not quick to dismiss it, but I there's an
Speaker 2: engagement stuff. There's you know, an engagement party, there's showers,
Speaker 2: there's bachelorette Then there's responsibilities day of you know, instead
Speaker 2: of like hanging out in a cool city, you're taking
Speaker 2: pictures for three hours.
Speaker 1: Like it's not the best. It's not the best. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Every destination wedding I've ever been to
Speaker 1: has been a lot more lase fair about the guest list,
Speaker 1: about what is expected of guests who are coming to
Speaker 1: that wedding. If in fact, you don't want to go
Speaker 1: to this right and you don't want to cause any
Speaker 1: kind of rift with your friend in the office, I
Speaker 1: would just use the cost excuse. If you're afraid of
Speaker 1: being super direct, just say you know what, I'd be honored,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, buy them a nice gift, wish
Speaker 1: them well, but just say, you know, we're we're saving.
Speaker 1: We're saving for a house, for a car. What. You
Speaker 1: don't even need an excuse, but we're saving. It's going
Speaker 1: to cost a little too much. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think it's something that we're going to be able to
Speaker 1: swing this year. Sure everyone understands that. Yeah, to get it,
Speaker 1: you got to talk a little bit more with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to sort of paint a picture that isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily true. Not necessarily Well, here's related strategy for my wedding. Yes,
Speaker 1: so solid fiance has been a bridesmaid of like fourteen
Speaker 1: different friends or something crazy. Ooh, she's an a sorority
Speaker 1: at Michigan, so she's a lot of friends. Are you
Speaker 1: can ask me to be in your wedding? Is that
Speaker 1: what's happening out here? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I haven't had to ask a single person because neither
Speaker 2: one of us are having a wedding party. Oh, no groomsmen,
Speaker 2: no bridesmaids.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it, and I was like, I
Speaker 2: guess you know, four or five dudes.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel uncomfortable asking a ton of people to like
Speaker 2: travel and buy things, suits whatever. I know you weren't
Speaker 2: like a huge fan of that process either, just coordinating everything.
Speaker 2: But you had a relatively small bachelor party, right, had
Speaker 2: had a small, boring bachelor party, it was right? Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I so the solid fiance would have had like,
Speaker 2: and she had a bachelor party with like, I don't know, twelve.
Speaker 1: Fifteen of her friends.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm going away with actually like three friends
Speaker 2: and my two brothers. I just I don't care about
Speaker 2: coordinating a bunch of people just because it's tradition. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hang out with fifteen people. I don't
Speaker 2: want to try to get reservations at a restaurant for
Speaker 2: fifteen Like, it's all just a pain.
Speaker 1: In my Assah.
Speaker 2: So I'm going small, and the only people up at
Speaker 2: the altar with the two of us are going to
Speaker 2: be our families. It's easy done right. But in this
Speaker 2: specific situation, if the groom is having like ten groomsmen
Speaker 2: and the bride only has like four people, she's comfortable asking.
Speaker 2: That's a weird dynamic between the two of them. Why
Speaker 2: don't we get down to a better point. Yeah, why
Speaker 2: don't we go three each?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like in my wedding, there were there was a
Speaker 1: situation where one guy had a girl on each arm
Speaker 1: mm hm. Because I had more groomsmen than Solid wife
Speaker 1: had bridesmaids. So you could do it a setup like that,
Speaker 1: Suggest a setup like that if you're in that situation.
Speaker 1: I was at a wedding where it was uneven and
Speaker 1: the bride's brother actually stood on her side. An unbalanced front,
Speaker 1: an unbalanced front. That's fine, you know, whatever floats your boat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think wedding whites. Too many people do things
Speaker 2: just because it's tradition. Yeah, I think it's such a waste.
Speaker 2: Like I'm not doing a Like we're not taking dance lessons.
Speaker 2: Why would we take dance lests? I don't even remember
Speaker 2: if you and Solid wife Kate took dance lessons, did you?
Speaker 1: We took the dance lessons but didn't do the dance good.
Speaker 2: So it was just like a background thing, just a
Speaker 2: skill for you guys, just.
Speaker 1: Just something a bonding experience. Did you guys? Did you
Speaker 1: toss flowers? We did not, because all of our friends
Speaker 1: are married already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not doing that. I mean that's the same
Speaker 2: for us too. We're not doing that. Are you going
Speaker 2: to be a cake smasher?
Speaker 1: We're not even having cake. We're not even having cake.
Speaker 1: Are you getting married? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: We don't want to have any Neither one of us
Speaker 2: like cake. Why would we serve people something that we
Speaker 2: don't like? Is there going to be any kind of
Speaker 2: sugary dessert?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm glad you asked, Tie. We're doing a
Speaker 1: donut wall, a donut wall. Okay, so explain this to me.
Speaker 1: What's a done? Imagine like a a don't a six
Speaker 1: by six foot board with like three inch pegs coming
Speaker 1: out of it every like eight inches, like the Plinko
Speaker 1: game in prices, right, Tie, you nailed it exactly. Okay.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be like two hundred donuts on this wall, okay.
Speaker 2: And people are dancing when you when you're eating cake
Speaker 2: at a wedding, it's basically like you come back from
Speaker 2: the dance floor to like take a sip of whatever
Speaker 2: you're drinking that's at the table, right, and like.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's cake here.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna have a bite of my cake and
Speaker 2: go back to the dance floor. I would pose it
Speaker 2: that seventy three percent of served wedding cake goes wasted.
Speaker 2: I would also say cake is largely for children. I
Speaker 2: think cake is a waste. I think icing is so strong.
Speaker 1: Cake cakes here on the solid verbal cake is this
Speaker 1: is what you get off. This is true, and listen,
Speaker 1: but both of us feel this way. I've never heard
Speaker 1: of a donut wall in my life. Where do they
Speaker 1: google donut wall? Right now on the show google donut wall?
Speaker 1: But where do you do you hear about it?
Speaker 2: I had heard of donut towers, like these structures that
Speaker 2: you could put donuts. But then in further researching, I
Speaker 2: did discover that donut walls exist. You just grab a donut,
Speaker 2: you're on the dance floor, you feel like something sweet.
Speaker 2: There is a wall of donuts that you can easily grab.
Speaker 2: Take it out on the dance floor with you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm seeing this now. What are we chasing? Are
Speaker 1: you at all concerned about sanitation? No? Not at all, Ty, No, okay, please,
Speaker 1: it'll be fine. I'm not sure how I feel about this,
Speaker 1: dan Ty.
Speaker 2: Imagine if you don't like cake, or imagine if you
Speaker 2: like cake, but you don't like strawberry cake, or you
Speaker 2: don't like chocolate cake, or you don't like vanilla, you don't
Speaker 2: like yellow cake. With a donut wall, we're talking variety tie.
Speaker 1: So will you be doing what appears to be in
Speaker 1: vogue and having different colored donuts that form a pattern
Speaker 1: on said donut wall. No, I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think there will be an organize to it, because i'm looking.
Speaker 1: I'm looking one here that says donut worry, be happy.
Speaker 1: Right then it's got like a K and a D
Speaker 1: in a white heart on their donut wall. So they
Speaker 1: this couple took a picture in front of the donut wall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's style over substance, and I don't care about that.
Speaker 2: I want I want flavor maximization. So we're gonna you know,
Speaker 2: if you like glazed donuts, grab a glazed donut, you
Speaker 2: like sprinkle, you like cake, you like yeast, you like chocolate,
Speaker 2: you like well, I guess it'll all be circled.
Speaker 1: There won't be any twists. You like an old fashioned
Speaker 1: donut tie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the place we're getting it from in Chicago has
Speaker 2: terrific blueberry old fashioned donuts. I cannot wait to have
Speaker 2: a blueberry old fashioned donut while dancing on the dance floor.
Speaker 1: If you had a donut maybe donut wall, and you
Speaker 1: spelled out Rubinstein in block lettering, that'd be pretty. That'd
Speaker 1: be impressive. That'd be impressive. That Yeah, yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: going to happen. Well, there'd be the exact number of
Speaker 1: donuts together. There will be guests or will there be no?
Speaker 1: There will be one. Ty you think I'm gonna serve
Speaker 1: not enough food my wedding. I would expect that your
Speaker 1: wedding that everyone will be well fed. Everybody will be
Speaker 1: well fed. Most of the food will be handheld, Okay, appetizer,
Speaker 1: entree and desserts. Okay. And it is really you're really
Speaker 1: going to try a new SAP tradition here.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's not about usurping tradition, Tie, It's about planning
Speaker 2: and customizing to who you are.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: There's no reason to eat cake if you don't like cake.
Speaker 2: At your wedding, beople there to celebrate you and what
Speaker 2: you believe.
Speaker 1: Okay. And you're doing the live band thing too, right,
Speaker 1: doing a live band? Yeah, and your great time? Tie?
Speaker 1: Were you a live band type of guy? I am?
Speaker 2: I really like good bands yeah, And I know that's
Speaker 2: like a stupid thing to say, because everybody loves good bands.
Speaker 2: But I will take an average DJ over an average band.
Speaker 1: See, I agree, And I won't put words in your mouth.
Speaker 1: I will. I will speak for myself here. I was
Speaker 1: very skittish on the idea. Yeah, I had to be
Speaker 1: tuned into it because you know it is. It is
Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive, but I was so excited though.
Speaker 1: Wasn't as expensive as I expected it to be, and
Speaker 1: the delta between a DJ and a band was not
Speaker 1: so great that it wasn't doable right, And in the end,
Speaker 1: I'm glad we went that route.
Speaker 2: You know what I saw today By the way, you
Speaker 2: talked about the cake smashing thing. That's the thing with
Speaker 2: like one year old birthday parties, right, Yeah, everybody like,
Speaker 2: oh they get a cake to smash it. Yeah, there
Speaker 2: is now taco smashing. Taco smashing. There's now taco smashing.
Speaker 2: You do a lot more damage with a taco, a
Speaker 2: lot more ingredients to you. Could You could do the
Speaker 2: frisbee throw with a donut if you wanted. That's true,
Speaker 2: if you really want to, you know, blaze your own trail.
Speaker 2: I think donuts are at least ten thousand times better
Speaker 2: than cake.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, on that note, we could throw that out
Speaker 1: to the listing public. Soliverble at gmail dot com. If
Speaker 1: you went, if you went to a wedding and saw
Speaker 1: and you will be going to a wedding hopefully and
Speaker 1: see a donut wall instead of cake. I'm interesting.
Speaker 2: There is part of you, your your flavor antennas are
Speaker 2: going up in a way that they're not necessarily going
Speaker 2: up for cake, a white sheet cake. This is no
Speaker 2: comment on other people that like cake and serve cake,
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying it's hits snippy.
Speaker 1: It's different. I don't know if it's so much flavor antenna.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have that, but uh, yes,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna look at the wall, and you're
Speaker 2: not gonna look away right away, are you.
Speaker 1: I I will probably do the thing where I crossed
Speaker 1: my eyes to try and see the sailboat in it,
Speaker 1: comprehend it, and then yeah.
Speaker 2: You're gonna walk up to it like a giant piece
Speaker 2: of artwork and just sort of study it and figure
Speaker 2: out how you feel about it and then make a decision.
Speaker 2: I guess we would eliminate jelly donuts because a decision
Speaker 2: yeah to spike through it would not be yeah right.
Speaker 2: But other than that, we're going variety. I think everybody's
Speaker 2: gonna be very happy. There's gonna be so many leftover donuts.
Speaker 2: We are actually, we've printed up custom to go personal lot,
Speaker 2: not personalized, but custom donut to go bags.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm excited to talk wedding stuff with you. Oh man,
Speaker 1: wait till you hear about the food we're serving. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: We'll save that for our next shows off season. Yep.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to talk wedding stuff with you because by
Speaker 1: the time your wedding rolls around, Kate and I will
Speaker 1: be in about two years, a little over two years.
Speaker 1: So wow, that's true, which is crazy. But we're veterans
Speaker 1: of the process now, mm hmm. And I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see the direction you take it. My hunch is that
Speaker 1: it will be a decidedly different direction than Kate and
Speaker 1: I took ours.
Speaker 2: Well, we are getting married in a giant church on
Speaker 2: the Lehigh campus.
Speaker 1: So that's and then chartering a plane yeaeah, okay, it's
Speaker 1: a blimp.
