0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to be happy. You want to be happy

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>for a day ed of steak? Is that woo woof?

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>And then and tie.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the solid verbal, boys and girls. My

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>name is ty Hildenbrandt. That fine gentleman over there nodding

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 2>his head approvingly in the heart of the Midwest where

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>spring is officially sprung Cago, Illinois, Dan Rubistetzer, how are you.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm great. It's high sixties today, sun is out, not

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>really clouds in the sky. Life is good. And I

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you have a sound to commemorate this,

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.239
<v Speaker 1>but I would like to make a bit of an

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>announcement here. Oh you know what, I'm unprepared. I have this.

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the first button I had. What's up? Okay?

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Here it is double sounds okay.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>For the next four to five years of my life,

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I have decided to commit to having a low grade

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>cough and sore throat because with two kids three and under,

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>three and one, that apparently is my new reality. At

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>two plus weeks and I've tested negative for COVID two

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>plus weeks of just feeling not great, not terrible, not crazy, bedridden, sick,

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>just that low hum of blurg. We're getting to.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>The point where it may be fair to start asking

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>whether Jody with an Eye has some sort of poisoning

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>situation going on.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>The low key poisoning situation, A little.

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Bit of arsenic in the morning cereal, something of that.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, she's messing enough that she would just leave

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>out the bottle if that were the case. So probably

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>not the situation, But most definitely I am living in

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a house of snot and horror all the time.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Snot and horror. Well, we'll get into talking about snot

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and horror here in a little bit. You've got five

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>questions for me, five questions that I know have been

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>on your mind that we have not had a chance

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to address. And then a little bit later on this week,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I've got five questions of my own that I will

<v Speaker 1>So yeah, by the way, Ole miss, very quietly wide

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver you these past few years, DK metcalf, AJ Brown,

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Moore a couple of years ago, like very quietly

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>stacking receivers upon receivers that are of I guess blittan

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a cough esque quality. We can agree that's fair. I

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>think that's fair.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And long before any of these guys, we had la

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Quantosaurus rex or boy. Of course, of course, with all

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>that being said, Dan, as we said at the very top,

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you've got questions from me.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do. I do. We are sort of in

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>that very early period of spring practice, and we're head

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of the NFL Draft. We are, you know, past signing day,

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and so this is an opportunity. And we recently did

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty big part one of the Q and A

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>show publicly and part two one verballers dot Com, where

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I just I've got a lot of my mind. Ty yea.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>As ever as ever, let me ask you, Let me

0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>ask you a question though.

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Before you going together. Okay, we're recording.

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.679
<v Speaker 2>This right now on March twenty first. As we said

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>an episode or two ago, spring games are gonna start

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>cranking up here pretty soon, pretty much.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>The middle three weeks of April is when your favorite team,

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 2>the bigger teams are gonna be playing their spring games.

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Scale of one to ten. Where are you at in

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>terms of excitement for the twenty twenty two season, Yeah,

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>versus where do you think the general public is.

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I get a sense that people are less enthused than usual,

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>judging by the off season. I don't know if it's

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a transfer portal thing. I don't know if it's an

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>nil thing, or it's the uncertainty about the postseason and

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>the organization of the sport. I get a sense that

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of apprehension about what's to come in

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>college football. Now. It's also spring, it's also March. It's

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>it's not the proper time to gauge excitement over the sport.

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>But I do. I do get that sense, at least

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>looking at the conversation online. And I don't know, do

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you get that sense? I? You know, I would compare

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>it to which is a bummer, but it is a bummer,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Yeah, I compare to this.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's got a friend who uses Facebook like it's Twitter.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And it's just a lot. It is. It's a lot.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't necessarily want to remove the online relationship the

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 2>real friendship in real life, what have you.

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It's just a lot. It's a lot.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of get that impression because college football

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>right now is a lot. There's a lot going on,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>there's news every day. It's beginning that slow climb into

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>NFL territory where it becomes a year round thing. And

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I think nil, I think the transfer portal, those those

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>topics in particular are going to help get us there

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>before long. But I don't know if everybody's ready for

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>that quite yet, and so.

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think I'm with you. We will

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>get to a point in.

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Late April where people are, you know, like I don't know,

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:09.359
<v Speaker 2>just amused by college football and curious, they're college football curious.

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 2>At that point where maybe they get to like a

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>four or five on the meter, may hits nobody cares

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>about college football, which is it's the doldrums of college football.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 2>But then you get into June and July and then

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>it starts building up to a fever pitch by the

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>time we get to Labor Day weekends. So right now,

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>this is an important time to get these questions out

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of the way. Whatever's on your mind, let's get them

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>out of the way. Now, let's talk it out, Let's

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>hug it out if we have to, I don't know,

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>And then by the time things really start getting cranked

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>up here, we'll we'll be free and clear to talk

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>about the news.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Of the day. First question, Thursday, Ty is National Cocktail Day.

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I had to look this up, and every great cocktail

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>needs well, it needs balance, sure, sweet sour, maybe a

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit of spice. You got your base liquor, maybe

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the right temperature if you want it on the rocks

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>if you want it, you know, blended off a frozen

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>drink of some kind. So, given that we do have

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the world's largest outdoor cocktail party, I want to ask you,

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think that's the answer, which historic rivalry

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>currently has the most balance. So the the cocktail coming

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>together a shaker, It is a shaker. Wow. So when

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at the bigger rivalries across the sport, big, big,

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you know schools, small schools, whatever, to you, which is

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>humming at a really nice level? Like there's a both

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>teams are competitive, you know, there's the coaching personalities are there?

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>You know you have a push pull. Maybe it's a

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>back and forth over who wins every year. Uh, maybe

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a good amount of hatred in the air interesting

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>players recently. What is which is the cocktail that feels

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the most balanced and is in the uh the spiciest place.

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps, you know, there are so many different ways to

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>grade this, sure, I think, and I would be loath

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to look solely at the win loss record, Okay, when

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to balance, because I don't know if you

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>could really take that at face value. I think the

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 2>answer for me is the Iron Bowl. I think The

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>answer for me is the Iron.

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Bowl, and here's why. Here's why.

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that game there was and you could use the

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 2>game that we saw in twenty twenty one as a

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>perfect example. There was no reason that game should have

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 2>been closed.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, there was.

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.959
<v Speaker 2>There was no reason that game should have been close.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think the mark of a true rivalry in

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>college sports is when you've got a situation like that.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>We talked with Pat Bostik, right, talk with Pat about

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 2>the coming back Pitt West Virginia game. Yeah, backyard brother

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>are twenty eight point dog. Going into that game, West

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Virginia seemed on a glide path to the national championship.

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Pitt wins the game thirteen to nine. Defensive struggle like

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 2>that is the mark of a true rivalry where even

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 2>though maybe the records are a bit lopsided, maybe in

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the case of the Iron Bowl, you've got a team

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 2>like Alabama that's had so much more recent success, it's

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>almost in a different stratosphere. But still you can have

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 2>overtime games like the one we saw this fall. This

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>past fall, I should say where it's close. Auburn probably

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 2>could have won that game if they went for two

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>instead of opting to tie it. That's still as stuck

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>in my crawl.

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but.

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that game always has the potential to

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>be close, and also because of Alabama's recent success, it

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>always has the chance to be very consequential around college football.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 2>There's a real domino effect because they play in the SEC.

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Because Alabama is always in the running, there's always that

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>added layer to it. There's no shortage of hatred in

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that rivalry either, There's just not there's always interest, doesn't

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>matter what the records are. Rivalry where you can quite

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>literally throw the records out.

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I was all over the place with this one, and

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I settled on Michigan Ohio State just because

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of where we are at the moment. At the moment,

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>we are in the shadow of Michigan at the end

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>emphatically beating Ohio State and flipping the script a bit right,

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>beating Ohio State to get to the Big Ten Championship game,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>which they they win that game emphatically end up in

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.079
<v Speaker 1>the playoff. Now, obviously they're not competitive in their playoff

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>game against Georgia, but it raised the question of who's

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna win moving forward more often, at least to a

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>more interesting point than it has been with Ohio State's

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>dominance prior to that. And then you know, you in

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the wake of Ryan Day saying he wanted to hang

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>one hundred on them, you know, the year, the COVID

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>year in twenty twenty, and then Michigan taking that personally

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and Jim Harbach, you know, sort of leaving but not

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>leaving because nobody would hire him, and so he's back

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 1>in ann Arbor, and that there is a quarterback of

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the future at Michigan. There's always going to be a

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>quarterback at the future at Ohio State. And there is

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>something to me about Auburn not even liking their own coach,

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>which I guess they technically never do, but that the

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>tumultuous nature of Auburn football at the moment has me

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>less excited for the Iron Bowl and it makes it

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's in a less exciting place. Oklahoma and

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Texas leaving the Big Twelve make me uncertain about the

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>ramifications of that game moving forward and not knowing what

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to expect. And I love the excitement around Brent Venables

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>within the Oklahoma fan base. I just don't have a

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>sense for that rivalry with Brent Venables in that top

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>job UCLA USC. I feel like, you know, there's excitement

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>around USC, but we don't know what that is. With

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Riley UCLA. We kind of have a concept for

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>what Chip Kell UCLA is. Oregon's dominated, Washington Callen Stanford

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been hasn't had big fallout. You know, you look

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>at that rivalry game, you look at I don't know

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>other parts of the SEC. You know, Florida Tennessee, Flora

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 1>to Georgia, Florida Kentucky. Like I know, Florida Kentucky's not

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a rivalry game, but I'm just I'm searching up and down.

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Like Clemson, South Carolina is not in a particularly healthy

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>place right now. And so I think, just to the

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>average fan, to the dedicated fan, I think Michigan Ohio

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 1>State has has the spice and the drinking violence involved.

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>To answer this question for me, I.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Think that's fair. I think that's a fair answer.

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd love for it to be Tennessee Alabama. Yeah, that'd

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>be great. At LSU Obama. I thought about Texas.

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And Oklahoma because that's another one that always feels like

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna come down to the wire. But I think

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>where I'm really hung up on is the iron ball

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 2>always has some sort of national significance, not to say

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that Texas and Oklahoma doesn't, But Alabama is the apex predator.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>They're the apex predator all the time, and so always

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 2>having that game at the end of the season that

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>against their hated rival that can knock them off the pedestal,

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe knock them out of the running.

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting if you if you talk about national implications

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of the game as a part of your cocktail that

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you you deem to be important. I get that if

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>we get rid of that, if we are just if

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just intent on making like a fireball cocktail, if

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>we're intent on the spice right that like, ooh ah,

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>what is that in your cocktail? I think it's the

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>egg Bowl. I think the egg Bowl is probably the

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>truest form of a distilled college football rivalry. It's interstate.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I do like the egg Bowl. I do like the

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>egg Bowl, if it only because the name. I love

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the egg Bowl. The egg Bowls has a great name

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>also Thanksgiving. So it's sort of set aside as an

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>important Like the end, NFL can't fully make up its

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>mind how many games they want to play whatever on Thanksgiving.

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>College football sort of narrowed it down at least power

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>five FBS. Whatever has narrowed it down that on Thanksgiving.

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, we had the it wasn't a little bit

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of Texas Texas A and M a few years ago,

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>which would be great if that came back. But I

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>think it will the Egg Bowl in the way that

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it stands alone on the schedule and also the unique

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>qualities of the Grove and cow Bells. Just in terms

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of a game cocktail, it's really going to mess you up,

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and it in every facet, in every facet, right on

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the recruiting trail with NCAA violations alleged, with the back

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and forth nature of the game, sometimes with the coaching

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>personalities with Dan Mullen and Mike Leech and Lane Kiffin

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously Matt Luke. I think that is probably our hour

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>as a sports electric rivalry.

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 2>More importantly, Dan, what is your cocktail? Actual cocktail?

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Good question, good question. Brown liquor tends to really mess

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>up my sleep, Like I'll pass out real quick and

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>then I'll wake up at three forty four am, wide

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>awake and feeling like garbage. So I've been staying away

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>from the brown liquor more and more. I like certain

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>tequila cocktails. Margaritas are fine. I know you can't handle

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>your your tequila.

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, don't say I can smell it when you

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>say it.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I like a good mule, like ginger and vodka and

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>simple syrup, that kind of thing. A mohito is fine

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>by me. Rum can can lead me astray a little bit, yeah,

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>but something cold and refreshing is sort of my direction.

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Like I love that bronze mule cup. You know what

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, dude, Yeah, yeah, you know I turned

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>bronze something. Yeah, I turned forty and I decided I

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to start trying bourbon. Yeah, Burbon's delicious, but

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>it can mess you up. Yeah.

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not drinking enough to mess me up. But okay,

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying it. You know, I'm dabbling with it

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>right now to see if it makes me feel sophistically

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.680
<v Speaker 2>like an old fashioned You like a dark and stormy Well,

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 2>the reason I started drinking it just with a you know,

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 2>a big shaped ice cube and nothing more is because

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I made some old fashions at a birthday party and

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 2>dark can storm me.

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>By the way, is wrong. I got that wrong.

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Continue, Yeah, yeah, And then I decided, well, I I

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>just don't want to keep putting all that sugar in

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the drink, and so I'm just going to try it straight,

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 2>which I had never really done before. And I found

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 2>that Okay, well I can. I can nurse this over

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the course of the evening. And now that I've entered

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.119
<v Speaker 2>my fifth decade of life, it makes me feel sophisticated.

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we've been we've been experimenting right now with

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a little Elijah Craig downstairs.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.959
<v Speaker 1>So okay, what's your budget? What's your bourbon budget?

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>There is a bottle, it's not big enough to actually

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>be considered a budget, let's put it that way.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm saying, like, how much did your bottle of

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Craig set you back? Thirty five bucks? Okay, So

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.679
<v Speaker 1>right around there, if somebody has any suggestions for tye.

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 2>As, We're not We're not going We're not adapting to

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a lifestyle here. I'm just saying, right, trying it out

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 2>for the moment.

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Sure, No, I good bourbon is delicious. It's just man,

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 1>it sends me into a weird direction. Yeah, yeah, do

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you like any of those refreshing you know, more ice

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>bound cocktails. I'm not a big mule guy.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, no, I never really got I read something

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 2>on Google that the copper cup can poison you. Oh no,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.439
<v Speaker 2>and I don't really believe it.

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:39.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's stuck with.

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Me, and so I haven't No, I haven't gone there

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 2>in a while.

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, tie, Let's let's set aside for the

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 1>second question number two, that you watch games all day

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, because it is your job to watch as

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>much football as humanly possible on Saturday and talk about

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it very early Sunday morning. Correct, that's correct. What would

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it take for me to get you in a stadium

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>this fall twenty twenty two model, like you're a college

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>football st Like.

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 2>You're selling me a c X nine here.

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Huh, it's correct, a mundo.

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Need a good parking situation obviously.

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course, of course sort.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Of goes without saying at this point, I think it

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:27.879
<v Speaker 2>would actually have to be with you, okay, because the

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 2>nature of what we do on the weekends is such

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 2>that we're pretty much glued to the TV all day,

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 2>every day, m hm, And so at least if I'm

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>with you, it sort of gives us a theme that

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>we can record and talk about on Sunday night, Okay,

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and then parking company. Yeah, we'll both be in the

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 2>dark equally, right, and I won't feel as dumb when

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I try to go through the other games that I

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't watch.

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>But let's let's, just for the sake of argument, say

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 1>it's a you know, a Thursday night matchup that you

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>know you you can afford to go because nothing else

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of concert once is happening at that moment, or a

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Friday night matchup or an early season labor day whatever.

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>So let's just assume that that's not the concern. That

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 1>we're just talking about the stadium experience that has been

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>missing for a lot of people as fewer and fewer

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.679
<v Speaker 1>people are going to games casually. So about so, I

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 1>think parking is a terrific part of it. Any what

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 1>else is there that would attract you to making a

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 1>return to a stadium for the first time in a bit?

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that first off, the game has

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 2>to be significant. Yeah, it has to be a meaningful game.

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 2>It has to be the kind of game that you

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 2>want to go see live. I also think, and maybe

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm being a little bit of a snob here about this,

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 2>But we're all friends here. I'm just going to be

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 2>real with you, please, I on a handful of occasions

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 2>have had the great pleasure of having the press pass

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and being able to sort of walk in and just

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>walk where you want and not have to fight the crowds.

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.880
<v Speaker 2>That sort of thing that's really addicting.

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of like a more sterile experience.

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It's more sterile, but it's sort of like flying private

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Like it's short. Yeah, it's just a luxury that if

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you can have it right, it's sort of intoxicating.

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:22.959
<v Speaker 1>So I would. I would. So you'd say, not necessarily

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 1>press past, but a suite access to a sweet.

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, something where I could you know, I'm not talking

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>like j low levels where I need my own bathroom

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 2>or anything crazy, but you.

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Have high class taste. I get it.

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like, if if that's an option, then that's

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.439
<v Speaker 2>interesting to me. Okay, to be honest with you, Beyond that,

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't know if I have any requirements.

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>It just gets complicated when it comes time to actually

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 2>record on Sundays. So if there's a way around that,

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and if it's the other thing would be as long

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 2>as it's not a place that's just ridiculous to get to,

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, a place it's easy and easy out right.

0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm open to it. I'm I miss going to game,

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 2>so it it's got.

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.199
<v Speaker 1>To be the right circumstance. Hypothetically, if there was a

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:11.120
<v Speaker 1>decent I don't know, Wisconsin Penn State game in Madison,

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and we had a dedicated Wisconsin fan who goes to

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>games in a suite and has a swath of parking spots. Yeah,

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>as a wide you know a few parking spots, and

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess you wouldn't need a parking spot if you're

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>traveling unless you rent a car.

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I always come in on a helicopter, So it's not.

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>If you were Yeah, of course, if you were invited

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>as a guest of honor with somebody, would just like

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 1>just get here and you can come watch the game

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in a suite, would you go, I'd consider it, Oh, man,

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>come on, somebody tie a guest. Depends on the game,

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>depends on the place, that depends on the weather. It depends.

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd be honored. If Wisconsin Penn State were playing in

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 1>mid September, certainly, yes, a colder part of the year.

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know I mean it depends, you know. So

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't need the sweet thing I need. I need parking.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:01.959
<v Speaker 1>I need good company. Like if a bunch of buddies

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.439
<v Speaker 1>invited me to go to a random good game somewhere

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>at a place that I either have been to and

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like or have been curious about going to, I would

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>try to go. I would definitely try and go. I

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's the people, and then I think it's the

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>ease of getting there, and then it's like I don't

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 1>really care about Wi Fi that much in a stadium,

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, Well that's that's a big thing. People

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be disconnected during a game. I don't know.

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I've just always assumed that in a big stadium setting

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 2>like that, the WiFi is not going to work right.

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just not gonna as too many people and networks.

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so yeah, there are certain parts of the in

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>game experience, like you want a million bathrooms. A million

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 1>clean bathrooms would be wonderful to have tie in a

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>perfect world, But to me, it's more just how easy,

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Like I just are going to be packed in like

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>sardines on a concourse, Like I just I want more

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful stadium design and I think we're getting there with

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:02.679
<v Speaker 1>some of the newer stadiums that are being built, but

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>we're still in a sport that has a lot of

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 1>old stadiums. So I'm kind of with you, like I

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of want to be as an average fan sitting

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>on the twenty three yard line kind of up high.

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I still want to feel pampered. I still want it

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a nice experience, and so yes, it's nice

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>having a huge screen to watch replays of I don't

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.919
<v Speaker 1>want the you know, the the Jerry World screen, but

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I want a nice experience. And I'm just I think

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I want a three thirty local or whatever some a

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>mid afternoon kick in late September would be my ideal.

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>All we really want is.

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>To not be hassled. That's what it comes down.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, the ins and outs are. If they're a pain,

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a problem. And so yeah, I want I want

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful pampering. That's where I'm at right now with going

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 1>back to college games, because I just I love as

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 1>as good as an experience that can be had at

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a at a football game, which is not a great lie.

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I've sports and a lot of just because of the

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:04.640
<v Speaker 1>starts and stops it's a much better TV sport right now,

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of the opposite of hockey in that way. Hockey

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really translate to TV as well as it does

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in person because of the constant action. Yeah, I want

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful pampering from a stadium and got it. That's all

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.159
<v Speaker 1>I want. And if it's parking, if it's concourses, if

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's bathrooms, if it's you know, good local food stalls

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and things of that nature within the stadium, you know,

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.400
<v Speaker 1>like they have an NBA Arenas now and some better

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of the the newer NFL stadiums. That's what I want.

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to get back to a game,

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 1>because man, TVs are not expensive. They're not expensive like

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>they used to be. So that's where I'm at. But

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>there aren't like I haven't been to like and you,

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been to a lot of places, but you haven't

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>been basically to every Like you've been a Notre Dame,

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you've been to Penn State, you've been in Georgia, you've

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>been to some National Championship games. But like, I'm sure

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you're extremely curious about what it's like to go to

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 1>like Kyle Field or to go to you know, death Valley,

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>either LSU or Clempson whatever, to go to Baton Rouge,

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>like all of these places to go to a game

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in the shoe. Have you been to a game in

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the shoe?

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>No, no. So it's it's figuring out which experience is

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>going to cater to your luxurious needs the most. I guess, so,

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's yeah. I think it's a good answer. TI,

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>good answer, good answer, all right. You you like to

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.959
<v Speaker 1>talk about and that you used a phrase college football

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 1>is better when blankety blank team is good or is

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>relevant or is competing for a national title. That's not

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>where I necessarily want to go with this question. But

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 1>here are the following teams are teams that have they've

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:45.399
<v Speaker 1>had recent success, big success, but also finished with losing

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:51.959
<v Speaker 1>records in twenty twenty one. Okay, LSU, USC Florida, Auburn, Washington, Northwestern. Now,

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Northwestern is big success, but they

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>won the West the year before, TCU, Texas, Florida State, Louisville. Okay, okay,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>who of those teams that have been down or have

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>been recently down? They haven't It all changed the way

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that you view the sport. Like you're like, well, they're bad,

0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 1>but I still I'm happy with where things are whatever,

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and who being down has made you long for the

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>like the good old days of when they were good.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Of those teams that, yeah, we're pretty down in twenty

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Florida State.

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Florida State to me as we were growing up, and

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean you've talked about this more than I have,

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:38.679
<v Speaker 2>but some of those old Florida State teams were I mean,

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 2>they made an imprint on us as college football fans. Yeah,

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know you've talked about it. It's a big

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 2>part of why you're a college football fan at all.

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Some of those Florida He's the root for Florida State,

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 2>if I remember correctly, yep. And so to see that

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 2>program kind of in a state of limbo and be

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>very uncertain. Of course, they were on the precipice of

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.639
<v Speaker 2>making a bowl past season before they lost to Florida

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in that final game, but just the constant uncertainty surrounding

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>that program has really been I don't know, that to

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 2>me has definitely been a big time bummer over the

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 2>last couple of seasons. So, you know, teams that make

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>me yearn for the good old days I'm not big

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>on the good old days thing. I think that's mostly BS.

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 2>But to answer the question, I think Florida State is

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>probably my answer there. I'm desperate for Florida State to

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 2>rise up again and kind of reclaim former glory.

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 1>As as for teams that.

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, them being down has not necessarily changed. I

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of these teams frankly, like Northwestern being

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 2>down doesn't really leave a mark for me, okay, And

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>it's no disrespect to Pat Fitzgerald. I just it's Northwestern football.

0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's be real here, right, okay. I Florida being down

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really like I would like for Florida to be better.

0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:10.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm hopeful that they will get there under Billion Naiper.

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 2>But I would probably answer Florida just because I don't

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>personally feel the connection to the gamers the way I

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people do. So whether or not

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 2>they're they're they're up there down, it doesn't really make

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>a huge impact because George is coming out of the

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>SEC East for me right now, wow, Okay, So that

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>one doesn't doesn't really change the way I see the

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 2>sport as much as it might some other folks.

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think Louisville falls into.

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>The same category as Northwestern TCU. These are programs that

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested in, but ultimately them being down.

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>And you've had an emotional relationship with TCU.

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm they're dead to me. Okay, Wow, they're

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>dead to me at this point. Okay, So those are

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>teams that them being down hasn't really affected the way

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that I feel about this as a whole, hasn't affected

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the vibe.

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so okay, of these teams, Florida State being really

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 1>really good again to me, would be the best for

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the whatever sport, whatever it means, the sport of college

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>football because of the imbalance and the UH I guess,

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the inconsistencies, the Clemson dominance of the ACC that there

0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.719
<v Speaker 1>needs to be a rivalry within the ACC, and Miami

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 1>really hasn't done it within the conference, you know, strung

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 1>together a number of successful seasons in the way that

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Florida State and like the you know, early twenty tens

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>was able to do. So Florida State would be the best.

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>But viscerally and visually I need big games at Death Valley,

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I need big games at LSU. I need that for

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>me for the sport to be at its absolute best

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and Florida State being great would be terrific. And Auburn

0:30:58.400 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>holding up there end of the bargain in the I

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and that would be great. You know, TCU as sort

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of a big city counterpoint to Oklahoma, at least in

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the next couple of years. However, long Loclahoma is still

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>give me the big twelve, that's great. And you know

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>tc was you know, playoff ish, you know that's a

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>sore subject in twenty fourteen or whatever. So those I

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 1>can appreciate all of those. LSU and similarly Florida. I

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>need for there to be big games in the swamp.

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I need the swamp to matter. And it sucks when

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Florida is bad to me. It sucks when LC was

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>bad to me, because those are unique places within the

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.959
<v Speaker 1>sport that I just need. Esthetically, I need those schools

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to win ten games a year. I just do. I

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>mean for the sake of their rivalry games, for the

0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>sake of Liceubama, for the sake of Florida, Georgia, whatever,

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I need it. So those are the games to me

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that them being down, them being nowhere near Must See

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>TV has affected the sport. To me, there were a

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 1>great number of Florida people that.

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Dunked on Notre Dame going four and eight.

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You can just say Spencer Hall's name.

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I'm not even talking about Spencer. There are

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Florida pa not just It's not just

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 2>one person. Yeah, okay, there were a great number of Florida.

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 1>People who dunked on Notre Dame going fournate.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 2>And I never really forgot that.

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And you took that personally, Michael Jordan.

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I never it just it never. I never was

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 2>able to wash that down.

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 2>So Florida being in a perpetual state of like mediocrity, yeah,

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I could deal with that. I'd be okay with that

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 2>for some period of time, not rooting for it per se,

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 2>like BILLI Napier a lot. Actually, I think it's a

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 2>great hire. But you know, Emory Jones is leaving now

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be Anthony Richardson's team. They don't have

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of quarterback depth, a bunch of questions.

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they'll get better.

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know, like we could be we could

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 1>be here for a little.

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Bit yet before the ship turns around in Gainesville.

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, the interesting thing to me about Florida, Florida State

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and Miami with how much talent comes out of that

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>state and how much that state and we talked about this,

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I think with Brandon Huffman a few weeks ago how

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>much that state's been rated so Georgia, Alabama. Recently Texas

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 1>A and M like a lot of top kids have

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 1>left the state and the coaching hires have been suspected

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>best with those three places recently, between you know, Manny Diaz,

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the short lived tenure of Mark Richt, Willie Taggert, obviously,

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Jim mckawaine, will must Champ, We're not able to sustain success.

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Dan Mullen was not able to get it done in

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the recruiting trail and in the locker room. That that

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>state could be a fascinating counterbalance if those three schools

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>got their collective acts together to the rest of the sport.

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 1>The complaint that Alabama has dominated in unforeseen ways, the

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that you know, Texas A and M is loading up.

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Georgia has loaded up with the number of classes that

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 1>they've loaded up in no smart small part due to

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the Sunshine State. Like I almost feel as if they,

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know, when an animal goes extinct or is

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>over hunted or something like. It affects the ecosystem, right,

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain balance, and there is something about that

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Florida schools that I feel like has tipped

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the balance into weird ways within the sport, especially the

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 1>SEC and Clemson obviously has done a very successful job

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:28.879
<v Speaker 1>in Florida as well. That it's almost like they could

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>be the mongoose the honey badger, right, that is the

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>one apex predator to this one animal, this cobra or

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever that's destroying everything in the ecosystem. That's where I

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 1>think Florida can, the state of Florida can really help

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to to restore certain amounts of balance within the sport

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.640
<v Speaker 1>if I'm serious about that. Like its just I see

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you nodding, you're not laughing at me. I think you

0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>might agree with me that there is something to those

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>schools collectively being down and other schools coming in and

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:09.759
<v Speaker 1>loading up rosters in new ways. I don't know, I

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:12.319
<v Speaker 1>think there's something there. No, yeah, I don't.

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't disagree with that. I just like the word

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 2>mongoose so much an apex predator. On the show, we

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 2>These did a couple of times now I might have

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to start using that more.

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Is a mongoose known as an apex predator? Does a

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>mongoose have a natural enemy?

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I would assume something's bigger than a mongoose that could

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 2>take it out, But they're so.

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So snakes the natural enemy of the mongoose, especially

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:36.239
<v Speaker 1>the cobra, but the mongoos is obviously quick enough to

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 1>hunt them. Mongoose has a speed and agility on its

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>side when fighting a cobra, but it is not immune

0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to the deadly venom. Sure, cobras can go up to

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 1>twelve feet and eat small mammals like the mongoose. Okay,

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 1>but the mongoose is putting up a fight. Sure, the

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.320
<v Speaker 1>mongoose has has the physical traits, and same goes for

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.239
<v Speaker 1>the honey badger. With the honey badgers were abled, you

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:58.239
<v Speaker 1>know the viciousness of the honey badger. Right, So yeah,

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if a mongoose is an apex, but

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a certain Liam neeson a certain set of skills, right

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:09.800
<v Speaker 1>all right? Next topic, okay, tie, similar to my question

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to you with the car dealership, what would it take

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for me to get you into PAC twelve football? In

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. But define get me into you live in

0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 1>eastern Pennsylvania. Correct, you have no natural reason if you

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>weren't doing what you did for a living, what you

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 1>do for a living to watch Pack twelve football. The

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:32.759
<v Speaker 1>game started in opportune times, both because of how late

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:36.840
<v Speaker 1>they start and sometimes weeknights, and just that the network

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that is difficult to obtain what this fall would get

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you watching noticeably more Pack twelve football than what I

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 1>assume you currently watch because you don't really have even

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:54.280
<v Speaker 1>doing what you do, you don't really have good reason

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to watch ASU Coal to watch UCLA Wazoo.

0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have two really good reasons the first two

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 2>weeks of the year because opening weekend, we've got Oregon

0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 2>against Georgia. Yeah, the Dan Lanning Bowl, if you will.

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.360
<v Speaker 2>That's a really interesting game. Georgia should still be loaded

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 2>to the teeth, and I would presume we'll be will

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 2>be a nice favorite against Oregon, but who knows. Sure,

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>So if Oregon pulls the upset there and knocks off

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Georgia week one, Okay, now I'm starting to think, well,

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 2>this Oregon team could be contented.

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's not a Pack twelve game.

0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>That's not a pack twelve game, but it's a Pac

0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:41.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve team. And secondly, to build on that, the following week,

0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 2>we have another Pack twelve team in action in a

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 2>non conference game against an SEC opponent, Utah against Florida.

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So and Utah should be pretty good again this year.

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:55.399
<v Speaker 2>So where I'm going with this is if on back

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:59.040
<v Speaker 2>to back weeks we have Pack twelve teams knocking off

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 2>SEE opponents, now I'm starting to think this conference could

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 2>be for real. The teams at the top of this

0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>conference could be for real. There is a game later

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 2>on in the year between USC and Notre Dame which

0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I think can further validate maybe the PAC twelve's role,

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Pack twelve's place on the pecking order, if you will.

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 2>As we go into twenty twenty two and start to

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 2>evaluate and look at how these things are going to

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 2>shake out. What I think could help, more than anything

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 2>get me into quote unquote into Pac twelve football is

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:35.280
<v Speaker 2>feeling like there is a Pac twelve team that is legit.

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I would like to see a team that first off,

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.840
<v Speaker 2>can win a big non conference game, whether that's Oregon

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 2>or Utah or USC at some point, I don't know. Yeah,

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that's the first thing. The second thing is I'd like

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.720
<v Speaker 2>to see somebody who could really legitimately play good defense,

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 2>really physical defense. Sure, for a while, that's been Utah's lane,

0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:57.839
<v Speaker 2>that's been their music.

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>We've had some We've had Washington right, Washington Field some

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.880
<v Speaker 1>really good defenses over the past five seven years. I

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much Washington you watch though, No, I.

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Haven't watched much at all. Yeah, Utah, you know that

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the defense was not up to snuff.

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:14.799
<v Speaker 1>This past year. It just wasn't as good.

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:19.880
<v Speaker 2>But nonetheless, I think those two factors are are paramount

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 2>need to be able to beat a big non conference

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.000
<v Speaker 2>opponent early, we'll have an opportunity to see that. And

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 2>then secondly, I'd like to see a team play defense

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:30.400
<v Speaker 2>because if they play defense, I feel like they're legit.

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Those two factors. If I feel like there.

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Is a legit contender in the Pac twelve, or if

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it just seems like there are a bunch of high

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 2>level teams, even if they're beating each other up, that

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.719
<v Speaker 2>makes it interesting to me. That makes it interesting to me,

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 2>And suddenly staying up late on a Saturday evening to

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:52.320
<v Speaker 2>watch those games at my own peril because of what

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 2>we need to do on a Sunday morning. Suddenly, that's

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that's more of an interesting proposition to me.

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>To me, it's styles make fights. To me, it is

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:07.799
<v Speaker 1>when you look at when the PAC twelve has been

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting, which was probably around nine to twelve

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in there, which I know obviously I have a

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 1>coincide with Chip Kelly. But forget about Oregon. You look

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>at Stanford's style, Washington State starting, you know, twenty twelve,

0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirteen, whatever is Mike Leach jumped in there. You

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>have an air raid, you have the speedy spread that

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Oregon's running. You have Stanford mashing guys, you have Utah

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>mashing teams. You have a wild card ASU that's running

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a wide open you know, passing based offense. You know

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:44.399
<v Speaker 1>what Taylor Kelly and Mike Bercovici guys like that where

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you have these stylistic offenses where you become curious about

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>what they look like when matched up against each other.

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.000
<v Speaker 1>And right now I don't. I mean, we've got a

0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 1>ton of new coaches. We have what a second year

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 1>coach at Arizona, new coach org new coach Washington, new

0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 1>coach Washington State, new coach USC of course, you have

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 1>a ton of new coaches and a ton of mysteries

0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>about what those offenses specifically will look like. So I

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's that's probably what would do it for the

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:20.399
<v Speaker 1>most people is known brands and styles up and down

0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the conference, not just what the best team in the

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>conference can do in the first week in September. I

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>think wouldn't that have you more likely totally? I'm not

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:33.240
<v Speaker 1>even saying like a national championship contender, Like if Washington

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:37.239
<v Speaker 1>State we're scoring forty five a game and USC were

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 1>scoring forty five a game, it wasn't a top five matchup,

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>but it was number twelve versus number sixteen, you'd be like, oh,

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I am curious about who wins this like firepower field

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>matchup more so than you currently are. I assume, oh

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:51.919
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, No, I think that goes without saying Dan. I

0:41:55.920 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 2>mean styles, as you said, definitely make fights. And you know,

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason that outside of all the winning, there's

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.359
<v Speaker 2>a reason that Boise State has been very interesting over

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the last fifteen years. Right, They're just they're creative mm hmm.

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think there's definitely an element of that.

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll also tell you this because of the coaching turnover,

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to talk about Lincoln Riley here. There's

0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 2>definitely an injection of star power to the Pac twelve.

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.440
<v Speaker 2>And if us C goes out there and if they

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 2>look legit, if they look tougher, if they're not missing tackles,

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not getting blown off the line. If it feels

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 2>like a USC team is going to be legit, then

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.759
<v Speaker 2>then that's interesting to me. Right, that's interesting. That makes

0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:45.840
<v Speaker 2>the Pac twelve a little bit more interesting. And perhaps

0:42:45.920 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 2>we don't pan the USC games like we would on

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a Saturday afternoon through mid October. Perhaps there's a reason

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 2>to watch. So I think what I'm saying is give

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:57.920
<v Speaker 2>me a reason to watch, and I'll watch. I'm not

0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 2>averse to watching Pac twelve football. We just haven't had

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a really good reason to do so, at least from

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the standpoint of the national conversation. Right, they've just not

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 2>have not really been a factor.

0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 1>The star power either has to come from a coach,

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a system, or a It doesn't have to be a quarterback.

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.680
<v Speaker 1>You meet Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey gave everybody in the

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>country reason to watch Stanford games to a lesser extent

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Love, who would either run for one hundred and

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty three yards on three carries or seventeen yards. But

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.759
<v Speaker 1>you need that star power. You need Khalil Tate, you

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:33.879
<v Speaker 1>need Christian McCaffrey, you need Mark ease Lee, you need

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Mariota. You need those names because it's very difficult

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to build out those names when you're inherently on a

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 1>different coast, you're a different time zone, you're in a

0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:47.480
<v Speaker 1>different starting time PAC twelve needs star power, needs recruiters,

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>needs to keep talent home and sort of build that out.

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.919
<v Speaker 1>And that's I think that's ultimately what it's going to take. Yeah,

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>next question, next question. In twenty twenty two, Ty, you

0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:59.640
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Boise State. Maybe that's your answer. You have to

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 1>select a group of five teams who did not win

0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:05.760
<v Speaker 1>double digit games in twenty twenty one to fully dive

0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>into bed with Who is that team and why diving

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 1>into bed with so no Coastal Carolina, no Fresno State, Right,

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:22.359
<v Speaker 1>no Cincinnati. I kind of think it's ucf okay going

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to the bounce house. Yeah, I kind of think it's

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 1>ucf okay. I was impressed with the job that Gus

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Melzon did last year. I was impressed because they lost

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback fairly early. They had to rebuild things, reconstitute

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it with Mikey Keane, who was young and inexperienced and

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 1>had some limitations in his game. But they still won

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 1>nine games. They still played hard, I believe won their

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:48.239
<v Speaker 1>bowl game as well. So this is not a team

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that gave up, despite the fact that they had some

0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 1>key injuries, notably their quarterback. I like gust In that situation,

0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with the I think that he's always

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 1>proven himself to be a more creative play caller, run

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a more creative offense. Right We saw that for years

0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>at Auburn, somewhat sometimes sometimes sometimes not all the time,

0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes I think he'll be able to recruit, you know,

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:20.680
<v Speaker 1>great athletes at UCF for sure. You know Florida's going

0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:23.319
<v Speaker 1>for that, guys who are very versatile, who can plug

0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and play and you know, get him in space. I

0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 1>think his offense is predicated a lot on that, and

0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I also think that it's in a very winnable conference.

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, UCF maybe isn't long for their current setup

0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 1>because they're going to go over to the Big twelve whenever,

0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know there's gonna be some drop off now

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>with Cincinnati losing a good chunk of its guys to

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. I think the conference is there for the taking,

0:45:52.000 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and UCF's got a lot to build on from last season.

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm I'm pretty gung ho.

0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done the preview work yet, you know, it's still,

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 2>of course, still a little early for that, but I

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's enough coming back, and there's at least

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 2>enough of a foundation after one year of malson that

0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty bullish on on UCF.

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you don't have to be bullish on

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a team just for whatever reason get into bed with

0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going Boise. I'm going Boise because of I like

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Andy Avlos, I like the unique quality of Boise. I

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.200
<v Speaker 1>like Mountain West football. I mean, honestly, if I could

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>pick a team with double digits, it might be San

0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Diego State just because of Southern California, new stadium, and

0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they should be into the right under the

0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:39.160
<v Speaker 1>right circumstances, be able to attract, especially in the portal era,

0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a good amount of talent, especially you know, guys leaving

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the PAC twelve or whatever. So Boise Is at Oregon

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>State this year, also at UTEP. It appears so Boise

0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 1>has in twenty twenty three. They're going I guess I

0:46:52.600 --> 0:46:54.720
<v Speaker 1>only said for twenty twenty one, but they have Washington

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and UCF Washington Husky Stadium, So like in the next

0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:03.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, they have really interesting non conference opponents.

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:06.040
<v Speaker 1>They're playing Oregon State and Oregon in twenty twenty four,

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:09.440
<v Speaker 1>so they're playing in bigger games in September. They've got

0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a younger head coach who should improve that defense, and

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>especially this coming year. I think Hammer and Hank Bockmeier's back, right,

0:47:16.680 --> 0:47:19.840
<v Speaker 1>so experience QB George Alani got you know, They're just like,

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.800
<v Speaker 1>there are guys there that are I think going to

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 1>take leaps in year two of the Andy avlos aera.

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I still like how quickly they play with that what's

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>his name, Tim Timplow, Tim Plow, the offensive coordinator yep.

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:36.319
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. They're really intriguing to me. Still,

0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Boise State. I just don't sleep on the broncos is.

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have their exact Mountain West schedule in front

0:47:43.080 --> 0:47:44.239
<v Speaker 1>of me this year. I don't have any of that,

0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if they're going ten and two

0:47:45.680 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 1>or six and six or whatever. I just there are

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:49.960
<v Speaker 1>enough pieces there and enough narratives that I can get

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:52.520
<v Speaker 1>on board with that. I think it's it's Boise State

0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:53.319
<v Speaker 1>within the Mountain West.

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Smurf Turf.

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:56.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, I like smurf Turf. I have a non

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>college football question for you, Ty, and you can go

0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:04.000
<v Speaker 1>in a number of directions with this. Okay, so you're

0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:07.759
<v Speaker 1>now a man forty I am, and now that you

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:10.879
<v Speaker 1>are living in the skin of a forty year old tie,

0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, where are we going? What advice would you

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 1>give to people of younger generations myself included obviously younger

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:25.360
<v Speaker 1>generation here, I guess in terms of what you wished

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you either accomplished or saw or experience or able to do. Physically,

0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:34.839
<v Speaker 1>you're not in your best shape in terms of your joints, right,

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm okay, you got a bum shoulder?

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Ah, you can't really do push ups right now, could you? No?

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I could do push ups?

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh you do push ups? Yeah?

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>If I do too many of them, then yeah, my

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 2>shoulder starts to feel like it's going to fall apart.

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying regrets, but I'm saying if you had

0:48:51.760 --> 0:48:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a blueprint for a twenty eight year old right now,

0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and what would you tell him or her about, Like, look,

0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you're not always going to be twenty eight, right right.

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you can say I'm glad I

0:49:05.160 --> 0:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>did this, or I'm bummed I didn't do this sooner,

0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 1>or I'm bummed I still haven't done this. What is

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it that you say before you because like you're I mean,

0:49:18.480 --> 0:49:20.920
<v Speaker 1>you're not boring, but you're a full on grown up,

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:24.960
<v Speaker 1>right You have a mortgage, like you have that you

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:28.319
<v Speaker 1>have responsibilities that you didn't necessarily have when you were

0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:31.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. That's right, you have to you have to

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:33.520
<v Speaker 1>live a life not just for you, but for a spouse.

0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:38.279
<v Speaker 2>You You ask this question hoping for some sort of

0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>new information for me, but you know I will probably

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:44.840
<v Speaker 2>let you down with this answer.

0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:46.960
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm gonna still prod continue.

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I should have quit my job a long time ago. Okay,

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I should have quit my job. And actually that would

0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:56.560
<v Speaker 2>be my advice, my advice to people. If you are

0:49:56.680 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight, pull the trigger, pull the trigger twenty years.

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 1>If you're miserable, or if if you're not, you know,

0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:07.160
<v Speaker 1>if you if you have the freedom to do so

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that's correct.

0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't just like go in willy nilly and say,

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm gonna do this. Instead, I have

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:14.759
<v Speaker 2>no experience and I'm just gonna.

0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Like we're do it.

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:20.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, get set yourself up in the best position

0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:22.759
<v Speaker 2>possible before you make the jump. But yeah, you know,

0:50:23.200 --> 0:50:25.600
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of people who go into into

0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the office every day. I can say this now because

0:50:27.640 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I was. I was kind of in that in that mode.

0:50:31.160 --> 0:50:32.440
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of folks that go into the

0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 2>office and just sort of go through the motions. And

0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I love the people I worked with. I to an extent,

0:50:38.239 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 2>loved the stuff that I did. I'm doing a lot

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of the same stuff for you and me now, so

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I it is stuff that I have always enjoyed. But

0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that it's definitely a different feel now

0:50:50.480 --> 0:50:53.640
<v Speaker 2>when you're doing it for yourself as opposed to doing

0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it for the man. So if you're in a situation

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 2>that you don't feel you're getting anything out of at

0:50:59.520 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 2>this point, m hmm. My advice to the twenty eight

0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:09.120
<v Speaker 2>year old whoever would be strongly reconsider because there are

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:13.640
<v Speaker 2>other opportunities out there. Do you wish you had traveled more,

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I think, so, yeah, there's time for that. Last couple

0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:19.960
<v Speaker 2>of years been weird. No one's really traveled, but right, well.

0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.480
<v Speaker 1>More and more now. But yeah, did you have opportunities

0:51:22.520 --> 0:51:26.839
<v Speaker 1>that you turned down? Opportunities like what like did were

0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you ever invited to go to Italy? And You're like,

0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got a work thing, I can't really go.

0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I was invited to go to a European wedding in Poland,

0:51:35.520 --> 0:51:39.759
<v Speaker 2>which I was unable to go to. But I'm not

0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:41.640
<v Speaker 2>going to say I have any like real regrets about

0:51:41.719 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 2>not going to that one. It's not like tropical got

0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 2>married in Poland a paradise or anything.

0:51:48.480 --> 0:51:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Who's getting married in Poland?

0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:50.359
<v Speaker 2>A college friend?

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is he from or she from Poland?

0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:53.640
<v Speaker 2>She is?

0:51:54.239 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh she's from Poland. Yeah that would make sense.

0:51:56.320 --> 0:51:58.840
<v Speaker 2>My friends then fiance was from Poland.

0:51:58.920 --> 0:52:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, So I.

0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Had the opportunity to do that, didn't go. But beyond that,

0:52:04.440 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 2>not really just have not made it a priority.

0:52:07.560 --> 0:52:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Frankly, gotcha? So yeah, man, didn't see the Poland answer

0:52:12.200 --> 0:52:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like just waks up on you. It just steaks up

0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:20.560
<v Speaker 1>on you sometimes. All right, Yeah, I definitely I've traveled some,

0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:23.040
<v Speaker 1>but I definitely haven't traveled enough. I definitely regret that.

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I regret not playing more rex sports in my twenties.

0:52:29.120 --> 0:52:36.080
<v Speaker 1>How long were you single after college? Single after like

0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you dated people, so it's not like it's not like

0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you've been with Kate since you were twenty one?

0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:41.279
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 1>So, how long were you single and dating but not

0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship from what age to what age or

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what gaps?

0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Probably until I was about twenty eight, So.

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one to twenty eight were you all? No? Until

0:52:57.719 --> 0:52:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you so? Were you in a relationship in college with anybody?

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:00.320
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:01.600
<v Speaker 1>High school?

0:53:02.280 --> 0:53:02.320
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I didn't know that. We've been podcasting for fourteen years.

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:10.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know either of those things. No, Okay, do

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you wish you had been in a relationship in college

0:53:12.560 --> 0:53:18.880
<v Speaker 1>or high school? Not really? Really? Yeah, I was in

0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a complicated situation in college which then became a real

0:53:22.040 --> 0:53:24.879
<v Speaker 1>situation in my twenties, and in a relationship in high

0:53:24.880 --> 0:53:27.120
<v Speaker 1>school for a couple of years. I think I'm all right.

0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I I'm fine without it.

0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know it worked out. I'm good. The pitch

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of your voice getting higher, that's fine, don't feeling good? No? No,

0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm all right, twenty it's a good age. Twenty eight

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is when I moved to New York and was single

0:53:42.120 --> 0:53:44.239
<v Speaker 1>for I don't know, two three years, two two and

0:53:44.280 --> 0:53:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a half years or something like that in New York.

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:49.520
<v Speaker 1>But I was with somebody most of my twenties, which

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:52.480
<v Speaker 1>was fine. But I'm glad I had that experience after

0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:56.239
<v Speaker 1>that in New York. In terms of other things I

0:53:56.280 --> 0:53:59.800
<v Speaker 1>wish i'd I'd love to have done more strength training

0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:03.879
<v Speaker 1>what I had. We could still get yoked. We can't

0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:05.320
<v Speaker 1>get yoked. We can get yoked.

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:06.919
<v Speaker 2>We need to find a gym or we can push

0:54:06.960 --> 0:54:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the sleds around. That's what we gotta If we can

0:54:09.560 --> 0:54:13.080
<v Speaker 2>find the gym, yeah, one in Chicago, one here and

0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:16.879
<v Speaker 2>wherever I'm at, Yeah we could.

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:17.319
<v Speaker 1>We could.

0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:19.680
<v Speaker 2>We could set that up and by the time it

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.759
<v Speaker 2>comes to like the season, you know, maybe we could

0:54:22.760 --> 0:54:24.919
<v Speaker 2>try out for a D three team. We still got eligibility.

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Would Are there any like bucket list physical accomplishments like

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:34.320
<v Speaker 1>do you want to bungee jump? Do you want to

0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:37.520
<v Speaker 1>run a marathon or a half marathon or a triathlon

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:38.440
<v Speaker 1>or an iron Man?

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:38.759
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:54:39.080 --> 0:54:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Or no physical accomplishments.

0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Like unless you're talking about golf, scores. The answer is

0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:45.200
<v Speaker 2>probably no.

0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:48.920
<v Speaker 1>What's the what you want to? What break par.

0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that would probably be the goal, Okay, yeah.

0:54:53.600 --> 0:54:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But nothing else In terms of like what people put

0:54:56.160 --> 0:54:59.719
<v Speaker 1>on their bucket list, I don't think so. No, I've

0:54:59.719 --> 0:55:01.920
<v Speaker 1>really I just I don't. You don't want, like to

0:55:02.480 --> 0:55:05.840
<v Speaker 1>swim in Lake Minnetonka, Like are there any places you

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:07.759
<v Speaker 1>would like to And I'm not saying like, you know,

0:55:08.120 --> 0:55:12.000
<v Speaker 1>run a five minute mile. That's purify yourself in the

0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:16.640
<v Speaker 1>waters of Lake Minetanga. That's Prince Minnesota, Minneapolis, yea land

0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of ten thousand lakes, So like nothing like do you

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:22.600
<v Speaker 1>have do you want to get up on a surfboard?

0:55:24.480 --> 0:55:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to do you want to swim with

0:55:26.960 --> 0:55:31.040
<v Speaker 1>blue whales in Tonga? You got to have some sort

0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:33.520
<v Speaker 1>of physical But I think I have a physical bucket list.

0:55:34.239 --> 0:55:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I really don't think I have. Really I don't. I

0:55:38.120 --> 0:55:40.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think I I just I'm not good at this

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:41.759
<v Speaker 1>type of thing. Do you want to draw? Do you

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:47.000
<v Speaker 1>want to like take a fast car around the Audubah Like,

0:55:48.040 --> 0:55:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's not technically physical in the same way

0:55:50.239 --> 0:55:53.160
<v Speaker 1>as like diving with the blue whales in Tonga, But like,

0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:56.360
<v Speaker 1>do you want to take a ferrari or something like

0:55:56.440 --> 0:55:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that out there. Do you want to learn how to

0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:02.160
<v Speaker 1>fly a plane? I don't want to do any speed boating.

0:56:02.360 --> 0:56:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care a sailing. I like boats.

0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do any of the stuff. I

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:12.320
<v Speaker 2>don't care scuba diving in a shipwreck, no, nothing, No,

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do any of this stuff.

0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:16.160
<v Speaker 1>You want to grow an herb garden? You want to

0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:17.040
<v Speaker 1>start small here? No?

0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no no.

0:56:17.800 --> 0:56:19.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to attend to a garden? No no,

0:56:19.920 --> 0:56:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I like the idea of a garden more

0:56:22.600 --> 0:56:24.600
<v Speaker 1>than I like the idea of tending to the garden.

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:29.840
<v Speaker 1>All I really want is to not be hassled. No,

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I hear you. That's really all I care about. Oh man,

0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this is where you and I and our brains diverge.

0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I want to be dunking basketball's I mean? I want

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to cool.

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I will never dunk a basketball.

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>That's I would want it to. I would love to.

0:56:46.520 --> 0:56:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Why Why are you saying that?

0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm forty, I'm not going to be able to

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:53.520
<v Speaker 2>dunk a basketball. If I couldn't do it before, I'm not.

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Going to do it now. We gotta get some aspirations

0:56:57.960 --> 0:57:00.439
<v Speaker 1>in that brain. There's a lot of aspirations in his brain.

0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:07.560

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well there's not a lot of water around here,

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.560

<v Speaker 1>just oh, man, ty, I don't.

0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I see this is where I'm

0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.240
<v Speaker 2>different from you. I don't know if I have an

0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:15.040
<v Speaker 2>idea of these things that I would like to do

0:58:15.160 --> 0:58:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and try. I would just sort of like to to

0:58:18.760 --> 0:58:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to do cool things, but I don't. I'm going to

0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:23.640
<v Speaker 2>edit most of this out.

0:58:24.080 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 1>There's no way you should be doing that. I don't

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:27.360
<v Speaker 1>leave this all in, but.

0:58:27.640 --> 0:58:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make myself sound boring. I'm not interested in

0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:30.680
<v Speaker 2>any of these things.

0:58:30.720 --> 0:58:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He's honest. I'm not his honest. This is I would

0:58:33.360 --> 0:58:35.360
<v Speaker 1>love to go boating. I'd love it. I'd love I'm

0:58:35.400 --> 0:58:36.160
<v Speaker 1>planting a seed.

0:58:36.360 --> 0:58:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to go somewhere cool, but where I don't care.

0:58:40.480 --> 0:58:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm very indifferent. You can select one college football media

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 1>member to go to the French Riviera with. Can't be me?

0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Go to the French Riviera and on a yacht you

0:58:56.040 --> 0:59:00.720
<v Speaker 1>can jump off into the into the sea. Does that

0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:04.240
<v Speaker 1>sound appealing to you? You and Ralph Russo on the

0:59:04.280 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 1>French Riviera.

0:59:05.680 --> 0:59:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Ralph Russo seems like he's got a lot of He

0:59:07.640 --> 0:59:09.479
<v Speaker 2>would probably have the right amount of energy for something

0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:09.680
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:59:09.800 --> 0:59:12.000
<v Speaker 1>You think so, I think so. I think it might

0:59:12.040 --> 0:59:16.880
<v Speaker 1>be a liability. I like Ralph same. Who would I

0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:22.480
<v Speaker 1>go with? That's such a good question. I don't know.

0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Ari Ari. Probably he's into super ritzy stuffy. It's probably

0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in the French riviera. It might be a little too

0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:32.120
<v Speaker 1>rich for my blood though, that's that's fair. No, But

0:59:32.160 --> 0:59:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, does that sound like French riviera yacht right?

0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:36.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, go down to Monte Carlo.

0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 2>That sounds fun. I could do that.

0:59:38.880 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, Yeah, I'm glad we could figure out one

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:47.400
<v Speaker 1>boat goal for you. It's a super goal. I don't

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 1>have any of these goals, Dy, We got to have

0:59:50.320 --> 0:59:50.880
<v Speaker 1>something here.

0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Look, I quit my job last year. That was a

0:59:53.240 --> 0:59:53.720
<v Speaker 2>big deal.

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm still working up to these other goals now that

0:59:56.400 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I have time to do. So now you gotta think big.

0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:03.000
<v Speaker 2>We can start start by breaking par sure, and then

1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:05.920
<v Speaker 2>we can aspire to bigger and better things with respect

1:00:06.000 --> 1:00:10.120
<v Speaker 2>to travel and boats and planes and uh dive in

1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>for whales or whatever. But for now, I'm starting small

<v Speaker 2>always do this to me. You always throw me this.

1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Curveball that I seemingly am unprepared for. We've been doing

1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>this now for fourteen years.

1:02:50.640 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm still unprepared for that last question every time.

1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe you haven't given serious thought to your

1:02:56.400 --> 1:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>boat goals. I just figured it. I love everybody. Everybody

1:03:00.480 --> 1:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>who's okay with boats? Well, does I understand some people

1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>don't like being on the water. That's fine, whatever, to

1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>each their own. But if somebody's into boats, there has

1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a very specific boat goal that you have.

1:03:11.000 --> 1:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I just sort of like being on the boat because

1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't go on many boats here. I mean eastern Pennsylvania.

1:03:17.400 --> 1:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>They're not a lot. There's not a thriving boat situation here.

1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I like boats.

1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, maybe a cruse, maybe go on a cruise, but

1:03:26.240 --> 1:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I've heard like mixed reviews on cruise cruise.

1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking ship goals, I'm talking boat goals. Well,

1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>then I don't know.

1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't got any boat goals.

1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:39.760
