Welcome back to the Solid Verbal, 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.640 Boys and girls. My name is Ty Hildebrand, joining me 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.440 as always over there in New York City. My man 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.920 Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you Ty? 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:12.560 I am ready to shed some virtual poundage. Yeah, buddy, 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.880 ready to clean up my act. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.920 I'm ready for this show. So we teased this show 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.840 on Twitter. I tease this show on Twitter. It's something 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.280 that we've been working on for what two two and 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.880 a half weeks now. We thought maybe you'd be a 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.959 novel concept. It truly is peak off season Solid Verbal 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.560 MM hm. The only time of year you're ever going 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.760 to find us do a show like this. But we've 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.680 got a little something special for all y'all this evening. Dan, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.920 Perhaps you have heard of a show called Tidying Up 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.720 with Marie Condo on Netflix. Mari Condo, Yes, it is 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.919 all the rage right now. It's Netflix original stars Marie Kondo. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:54.920 Mm hmm. 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.960 She's a four foot seven, tiny Japanese woman who teaches 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.120 people what she calls the kN Mari method of decluttering 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.120 their houses. Really, it's a show about life. It's not 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.200 just to make cleaning your house. The Solid Wife really 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.880 really really got into this with all italics, really got 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.480 into it. She got my mom into it, so then 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:20.239 Mama h got Uncle Joe Colaruso into it. This is 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.799 a worldwide sensation and it has fully taken hold of 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:29.640 my family. So I started thinking, Daniel, can we apply 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.000 the kN Mari method to the Solid Verbal podcast? 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:39.240 Can we declutter the virtual college football house that we 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.919 have built a foundation upon over many years? 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:44.600 As it is now. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.880 April, early April April fourth, we're recording this right and 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.240 it's their spring practice, so we're sort of rebooting and 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.280 refreshing our brains for not just the off season, but 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.600 the season to come and what everything means. So in 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.520 a way, we're not only declin cluttering this house, but 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.600 we're decluttering our minds, which is what the con Marii 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.040 method is to sort of breathe fresh air for the 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.120 first time in a long time by decluttering your life. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.320 So here is the way that the method works. The 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.160 first thing you do is you go through all the clothing, 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.240 then your books, then your kitchen, bathroom and garage, then 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:26.080 all your paper, then all your sentimental items miscellanea. Yeah, 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.640 so that's what we're gonna do here today. We're going 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.240 to take a look at all the stuff, all the 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.480 items that we've collected emotional and otherwise. We're over the 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.600 last decade of college football podcast and we're going to 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.600 put all on a giant pile, going to thank everything 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.680 for its support of course and essential of the kon 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.720 Marii method, and to thank it. But then we're going 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.440 to figure out what's going to spark joy and what 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.560 goes with us into the future or what we're going 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.000 to leave behind. So a good example, Yeah, right now, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.960 I'm wearing the Georgia Tech Capitol one Orange Bowl champions 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.760 hat that you sent me a couple of years ago. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.840 You absolutely are. It's still sparks joy. So I play 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.880 this and I'm going to hold on to it. I 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:05.600 like hearing that. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.560 So we're selecting items as we rampage and ransack this 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.400 college football house. That's spark joy that they has to 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.280 stay in our lives. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:15.760 That's right. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.479 Otherwise we're donating it to the great college football beyond 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.880 thanking it for all that it has done for us, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.200 and moving forward, perhaps somebody else would find it to 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:28.799 be more useful in their lives. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.719 I think that's a responsible thing to do. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.200 Do what we should stomp through this house, TI, We've 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:34.920 got a lot of stuff. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.960 We've got a lot of stuff before we go any further. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.760 Don't forget solverbal at gmail dot com as always is 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.360 the email.

Why 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.520 don't you be the first too? Rummage through this decades 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.800 old podcast house that we've constructed. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.240 Yeah, it's not all clothes. Let's start here. Let's start 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.240 with Oh gosh, okay, let's start with I've got this 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.920 old and it's sentimental. It's a Notre Dame hard candy tray. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.080 Oh god, and it's it's been passed down from generation 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.160 to generation. I don't really eat hard candy. I'm not 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:41.800 really big on the Werthers the reasons, but for like this, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.800 it is an heirloom tie, and it would feel weird 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:50.279 to have a hard candy tray emblazoned with Ara Parsegan's 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:57.680 face anywhere anywhere but my my coffee table. So it 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:02.080 does spark joy, making fun of the elderly and Notre 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.920 Dame even I wouldn't even say even, I would say 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.240 especially after going to the playoff and getting everybody's hopes 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.800 up and just getting completely demolished. To have probably a 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.239 fan base upset about going undefeated and finishing that way 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.119 is I have to keep it close to my homes. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.600 Where did you get the Notre Dame hard candy tray? 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.320 To begin with? I don't know. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.960 My pappy's grandpappy was the one who originally had it, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.520 and it's just been passed down from Rubenstein to Rubinstein. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.360 You know, the Rubensteins are from the northeast this country. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.800 So somebody probably liked Notre Dame or just liked laughing 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.800 at other Notre Dame fans enough that they thought it 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.479 was ironic to keep it on their coffee table. So 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.719 I am making fun of elderly Notre Dame fans. Sparks 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.920 joy for me. So it's hanging around. It's not too big, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.040 it's not too cumbersome, and there will be butterscotch over 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.120 butterscotch stains over airparks. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.280 But what forever? What is our rule here on sparking joy? 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.760 Does it need to spark joy for both of us 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.839 in order to keep it in the podcasting house or 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.760 just one of us? Just one of us? 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.160 We each get to make calls on the various man 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:11.480 various items. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.320 All right, it's March Joy. We'll keep it around the 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:22.160 butterscotch stained era PARSI he rummage through destroy here for 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:28.080 a second. This could be a little bit emotional for me. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:36.400 Mm hmm. I've got here at keepsake that was given 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:42.840 to me by both TCU and Ole Miss, labeled here 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.520 with a card, one of those little heart cards on 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.160 it that says from the both of us. Yeah. I 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:54.120 have had this in my possession since about two thousand 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.080 and four. As you know, I've been very tight with 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.920 TCU and very tight with old Miss. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.760 Yeah, you're holding on to to a love of a 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:03.679 bygone era. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.000 For as long as I can remember. The thing is, 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:11.000 every time I'm ready to move on, I see one 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.680 of the other out at Wegmans and it's like, yeah, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.920 they changed their hair. It's like, oh, maybe maybe we 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.760 could grab coffee sometimes. And then eventually you get close 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.960 enough and you realize, oh, this isn't this isn't working. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.480 So it's this constant seesaw that I've been on over 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.640 I'm being honest here the last fifteen years of my 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.520 life with TCU and Old Miss. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.920 In your darker moments, you will retreat to your closet 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.719 and find that old land shark's jean jacket. Let's smell it. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.800 Just get up in there and smell the land Shark 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.520 of Days, the Robert kim. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:52.800 Dcha T shirt Jersey still sparks joy. Okay, but the 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:58.000 question is what about this keepsake? M h, I think 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.960 it's time to move on. It gave me a lot 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.400 of good years, Dan, a lot of good years. But 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.680 I cannot be at a place in twenty nineteen where 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.000 I'm still going on Facebook and looking up TCU and 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.600 old Miss to see what they're doing, to look at 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.439 the latest pictures. This keepsake is just a bitter reminder 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.240 of bygones. I think I need to move past I'm 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.480 married now, I know what the hell's time. I need 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.720 to move past my TCU and ole Miss thing, and 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.000 this keepsake is really just bringing up bad memories. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.040 Yeah, you should have gone on an eight prey love 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.000 journey to really fully get over all Miss and tc 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:33.680 you by now. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.599 So I'm gonna thank it, thank you, thank you, thank you. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.679 We'll give it one final play here this little music box. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.160 So does this mean we'll send it on its way? 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.800 Does this mean officially you will be down on TCU 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.080 and ole Miss come August. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.120 It doesn't mean I'll be down on t or extend 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.839 that you won't be up. You won't be high on that. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.200 I'm going to be very ambivalent. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:03.120 Okay, you've been hurt, I have Okay, you're human. Okay, 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:09.679 let's move on throughout this house. Let's go outside. I'm 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:15.080 looking at this Jim Harbaugh backyard trampoline, and I say 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.400 to myself, I've had some good times. It was pricey, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:26.680 for sure, but there's something inevitable about a backyard trampoline. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.559 Do you think trampolines are a good idea? 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.240 I think trampolines when you are caught up in the 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.640 moment and they are defensible, it's you can, you know, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.440 hours of fun. You can do all you can put 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.920 it by a pool, a basketball hoop. They're versatile, you 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.320 know you can if you're athletic enough, you can do flips. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.320 You can bounce people who are sitting others. Yes, I 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:53.560 think trampolines are mostly fun, but there's always a dark side. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.640 It doesn't matter if you put netting around. It doesn't 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.280 matter if you hire new coaches. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.560 And netting is never high enough for a tramp enough. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.000 It's never strong enough it. You know, moving on to 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:08.440 a new offensive coordinator is Yes, it's the sensible move, 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.840 but is that what truly ails the trampoline or is 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.760 it the trampoline itself? And so I am going to 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:20.000 thank this trampoline for giving me years and years of 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:25.040 fun and fodder. But I think it's time to donate 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.960 this trampoline. You know, you're only supposed to own a 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.400 trampoline for so long. Kids grow up and move out, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.960 and I think it's it's time for a new stop 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.640 for this trampoline. I don't I don't want to put 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.520 this trampoline out, you know, on the curb. I want 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.280 to find a good owner. But the Jim Harbaugh backyard trampoline, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.560 for me, I'm not sure that it has an everyday 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.280 use anymore. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.840 For me, trampolines are a bad idea, man, I'm telling you, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.640 Jim Harbaugh is a fully bad idea. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.079 But I think there's something inevitably dark about the trampoline experience. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.120 See YouTube videos of the trampoline blowing over in gale 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.760 force winds, or someone going a little too. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.400 It's the double jump, and all of a sudden somebody 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:09.160 tears in a killer. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:10.840 That's right. So I was gonna I was gonna go 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.679 there next. But yeah, sometimes you stray a little bit 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.440 too far from the center as long as a chance 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.320 of cracking your head on the side. Yeah, it's just 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.000 not a good idea. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.839 Do you have a personal favorite? As we go off 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.160 into a tangent, but also it's related to the home 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.000 sort of a personal favorite type of YouTube fail category. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:34.880 I know what yours is by the old QVC fails 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.520 of the guy falling off the ladder. Of course, these 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.679 are all horrible things that sound like terrible people, but. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.400 Fails in which clearly the person is not seriously debilitated. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.640 Yeah. So there's an old QVC ladder fall video if 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.080 you google that one. That's an old time favorite. There's 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.200 one with the guy in the Samurai sword where the 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:59.439 sword breaks on QVC. Anything caught on QVC generally will 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.160 make me giggle. Mm hmmm. I like that. Okay, I 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:03.800 have two. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.360 The first is wedding dances gonna rye Okay, sure, when 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.760 a couple really goes for it practicing and they're gonna 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.240 swing dance and there's a toss and then somebody goes 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.120 through a table. That gets me. That is just that 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.120 is right up my alley. But my main fail jam 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.600 that I would like to spread on my brain toast 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.520 tie is little kids in power wheels. Power wheels fail right, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.679 power wheels fails are just you know, out of control 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.160 down a hill, falling asleep at the wheel and doing donuts. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.360 I just can't get enough. So trampoline fails are not 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.200 up there for me because it's. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.560 Just too dark. All right, let me go through this here. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.320 This is probably gonna be an easy one. Mm hmm. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.600 Just pull us out of closet for a second. What 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.720 do we want to do with this sexier than Etzel 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.000 board game that we have from Partner Brothers. It's so specific. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.720 It was given away at an early seven September game. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.240 I think we got this. We got this at a 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.239 Yukon yard sale, didn't we? We did? We did very expensive. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.840 I mean I think I speak for both of us. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.400 Yeah, it's the new guess who. Yeah, okay, you got 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.040 to flip down tiles. All right, let me go back 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.440 in the box here. I've had this one wrapped up 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.360 for a while. I pull it out. M M. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:29.640 I don't know what every August September this is the 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.480 is Texas back needle point throw pillow. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.080 Oh okay, so this was to rest your head. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.400 This was given to us on one of our eight 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.560 trips to the south by Southwest, the question of whether 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.360 or not Texas is back has been a recurring one. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.440 As you know, we've been doing the show. It's going 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.320 to be for I don't know how many years, now, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.600 eleven years. I'll get close to you, Hu, get close 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.840 to you. We've been wondering when Texas is going to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:02.000 be back forever, and so having this throw pillow close 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.160 to us always is something that just constantly reminds us. Now, 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:10.280 the fact that Texas is not back, Dan, where do 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.120 you stand on this? 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.520 I think it ties the room together. That's where I stand. Yeah, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.200 I don't want this home to look like a model home. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.360 I want it to look like us, and so especially you, 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.680 you love this question. It sparks a weird amount of 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.680 joy for you. I couldn't imagine you owning a couch 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.960 without your Texas is Texas back throw pillow. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.080 See, this is a very close relative of that keepsake 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:43.240 I got from TCU and Old Miss. Because Texas being 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.600 Texas serves a purpose? Is this has a function? Texas 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:51.440 being Texas was in the lexicon, I think even before 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.320 TCU and Old Miss. But certainly you can put your 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.400 head down on this it can comfort you. For me, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.560 I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's still sparks joy, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.560 like you said, ties the room together, still an essential 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.800 part of what we do here in this podcasting house. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:11.720 So does this theme mean that you don't want Texas 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.600 to be back? You do want Texas to be back 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:21.000 to whatever that actually means, or that you relish bathing 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.960 in the purgatory that is Texas football. Perhaps starting out 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.320 really well and having people rush to saying Texas is back, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.240 or by the end of the season having it be 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.640 sort of open ended like it was after last year, 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.400 where there were some down moments and close calls and ugliness. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.960 But winning the Sugar Bowl brings about this throw pillow 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.520 to the forefront that it is a centerpiece of your 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.680 college football's brain living room. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.280 The answer to all of your questions is no, Okay, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.120 I look at this. This is a podcasting house that 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.800 we are rummaging through here, right, look at all the 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.600 crap we got in this house. Okay, we've gathered this 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.680 for well over a decade here. Yeah, now it's all here. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.479 I don't want Texas to not be back, nor do 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.880 I want Texas to be back I enjoy the fact 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.840 that as a podcast we can continually ask the question 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.240 whether or not they are, and depending on who you ask, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.840 people see different things. But that's part of what makes 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.600 it amusing to me. It's just the question that has 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.960 never answered. You really liked the last season of Lost, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.160 didn't you? I never saw Lost dank, that's weird. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.720 I just people that enjoy that last season are just 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.879 garbage TV. Well I never saw any That's like a 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.520 big JJ Abrams thing, Like, it's not the answer, it's 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:44.120 the question. 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.119 Okay, well there you go. That's kind of where I'm 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:46.560 at with this. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:52.160 All right, our next item the dependable as I rummaged 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.639 through my closet and we all have items where of 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.040 clothing where it's not that it's the most stylish thing, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.480 it's not that it's the most comfortable thing, but you 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.919 really just feel like yourself right sure, whether it's a 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.359 button down or a pair of jeans or shoes or socks, 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:09.880 where it's just difficult to get rid of it because 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.399 you're like, oh, this is just a classic item in 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:19.920 my wardrobe. And as I'm going through this and I 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:26.520 something just fell my Northwestern cardigan. Okay, that you know 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.600 you don't really have to wear in September, which is 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.800 good because it's rough in September for Northwestern, But come October, 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:39.440 there's something very comforting about light warmth tie, like it's 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.520 not going to do all sorts of heavy lifting come 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.120 December or January. You know, it's not a parka, it's 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.800 not a puffy jacket, it's not a coat, it's not 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.160 a pea coat. But there's something very comforting like, Oh, 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.400 I'm just gonna I'm just gonna throw on this CARDI yeah, 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.000 and really just enjoy this fall walk on some leaves, 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.400 and I can always depend on that cardigan, just feeling 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.360 soft on my skin and keeping me just a little warm. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:12.320 But come come some challenging days, come wintry mixed days, 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:17.879 come sleet days, come thunder snow. I can't depend on 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:18.520 this cardigan. 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.240 Cardigan. We're a cardigan in thunder snow. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.600 Dan, No, absolutely not. I think it's time to thank 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.520 this cardigan for all that it has done and making 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.200 me feel like me. But I mean, it's dependable, Dan, 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:37.119 It's dependable. It's dependable. What's better than a crisp fall walk, ty, 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.679 But I think I'm upgrading. I think I need some 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.320 more fleece in my life. I think I need a 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.280 hood in case it starts to sprinkle. And the cardigan, 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.760 while comforting, is something that I'm just not ready to 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.679 fully enjoy anymore, knowing what else is out there. And 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.399 so I tip my hat to you Northwestern, but need 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.480 I need some and stronger later in the season, That's 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.520 what I need. I know you beat a team like 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.640 Notre Dame a few years ago. I know that that 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.320 that did you well in the wind, but come, Ohio State, 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:12.040 come Michigan. 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.400 Being pretty warm is not good enough for me anymore. Bygones, 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:21.520 be bygones, let's go be gone. Here's here. What do 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.840 you have? This is actually still in the box, okay, 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.720 and I'm a little bit I'm a little bit afraid 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:27.439 to spray it. 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.359 You're gonna get to it, but you just haven't yet. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.639 It's still in the box. I'm afraid to take this 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.160 out and spray it because, as you know, it's rather intoxicating. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.960 I think a lot of people who listen to the 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.720 show may have this in their closet as well. I'm 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:47.800 talking about that old vintage two thousand and five USC 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.760 cologne Ooh, that we got you see that all the 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.760 way in the back corner. I like it. Most of 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.440 the team is now on Fox Sports. That's right. 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.960 It has a distinct smell. You immediately know what you're 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.960 looking at and seeing and those are the same things 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.600 and smelling and just the general vibe when you're around somebody, 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.240 maybe it was you wearing that USC cologne. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.280 Do we want to keep this around? First off, I 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.639 don't know what this smells like. If I spray this, 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:20.840 it smells like the sweat of lofa tatupu. Okay, if 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.080 the solid wife comes in here and smells this, she'll 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.479 be none too pleased. I think we need to get 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.359 rid of this. I actually think how that this has 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:33.760 done more harm than good to USC fans, certainly to 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:38.280 Clay Helton. Having that old USC cologne around is not 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:43.000 doing anyone any favors. That being said, that old USC 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:44.359 team was so much fun. 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.000 I mean, there are many of them. I don't know 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:47.880 if there's a specific Well, I've. 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.199 Got the I've got the ticket from the two thousand 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.840 and five Notre Dame USC game, the Bush Push game 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.760 that I was at laminated and up on the studio 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.600 wall here. Yeah, so I'm willing to hold onto that 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.879 as my memorabilia from the USC team's gone past, and 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.679 not so much this cologne, which, once it gets up 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.840 at your nostrils, it's just you can't get rid of it. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.160 It's a lot. It takes you over. 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.159 Yeah, and there's something that is very disarming in a 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:22.359 bad way about walking into a room and like, oh, 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.439 USC guy, Okay, I know what we're dealing with here. 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.439 Yeah, he's gonna bring up Pete Carroll. Cool. 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.600 Oh cool, she's talking about two thousand and four. Wow, 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.520 that is fifteen years ago. There is something that is 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:40.760 alarming and almost I don't want to be too mean here, 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:45.960 but predictable. And I want some change in my life. 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.360 I want something new. There's just something stale about this 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.560 old cologne. And I don't have a problem with cologne 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:57.080
