Speaker 1: for me, Helloa come out. Welcome back to the Solid Verbal,
Speaker 1: Boys and girls. My name is Ty Hildebrand, joining me
Speaker 1: as always over there in New York City. My man
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you Ty?
Speaker 2: I am ready to shed some virtual poundage. Yeah, buddy,
Speaker 2: ready to clean up my act.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for this show. So we teased this show
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I tease this show on Twitter. It's something
Speaker 1: that we've been working on for what two two and
Speaker 1: a half weeks now. We thought maybe you'd be a
Speaker 1: novel concept. It truly is peak off season Solid Verbal
Speaker 1: MM hm. The only time of year you're ever going
Speaker 1: to find us do a show like this. But we've
Speaker 1: got a little something special for all y'all this evening. Dan,
Speaker 1: Perhaps you have heard of a show called Tidying Up
Speaker 1: with Marie Condo on Netflix. Mari Condo, Yes, it is
Speaker 1: all the rage right now. It's Netflix original stars Marie Kondo.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: She's a four foot seven, tiny Japanese woman who teaches
Speaker 1: people what she calls the kN Mari method of decluttering
Speaker 1: their houses. Really, it's a show about life. It's not
Speaker 1: just to make cleaning your house. The Solid Wife really
Speaker 1: really really got into this with all italics, really got
Speaker 1: into it. She got my mom into it, so then
Speaker 1: Mama h got Uncle Joe Colaruso into it. This is
Speaker 1: a worldwide sensation and it has fully taken hold of
Speaker 1: my family. So I started thinking, Daniel, can we apply
Speaker 1: the kN Mari method to the Solid Verbal podcast?
Speaker 2: Can we declutter the virtual college football house that we
Speaker 2: have built a foundation upon over many years?
Speaker 1: As it is now.
Speaker 2: April, early April April fourth, we're recording this right and
Speaker 2: it's their spring practice, so we're sort of rebooting and
Speaker 2: refreshing our brains for not just the off season, but
Speaker 2: the season to come and what everything means. So in
Speaker 2: a way, we're not only declin cluttering this house, but
Speaker 2: we're decluttering our minds, which is what the con Marii
Speaker 2: method is to sort of breathe fresh air for the
Speaker 2: first time in a long time by decluttering your life.
Speaker 1: So here is the way that the method works. The
Speaker 1: first thing you do is you go through all the clothing,
Speaker 1: then your books, then your kitchen, bathroom and garage, then
Speaker 1: all your paper, then all your sentimental items miscellanea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what we're gonna do here today. We're going
Speaker 1: to take a look at all the stuff, all the
Speaker 1: items that we've collected emotional and otherwise. We're over the
Speaker 1: last decade of college football podcast and we're going to
Speaker 1: put all on a giant pile, going to thank everything
Speaker 1: for its support of course and essential of the kon
Speaker 1: Marii method, and to thank it. But then we're going
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to spark joy and what
Speaker 1: goes with us into the future or what we're going
Speaker 1: to leave behind. So a good example, Yeah, right now,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing the Georgia Tech Capitol one Orange Bowl champions
Speaker 1: hat that you sent me a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: You absolutely are. It's still sparks joy. So I play
Speaker 1: this and I'm going to hold on to it. I
Speaker 1: like hearing that.
Speaker 2: So we're selecting items as we rampage and ransack this
Speaker 2: college football house. That's spark joy that they has to
Speaker 2: stay in our lives.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Otherwise we're donating it to the great college football beyond
Speaker 2: thanking it for all that it has done for us,
Speaker 2: and moving forward, perhaps somebody else would find it to
Speaker 2: be more useful in their lives.
Speaker 1: I think that's a responsible thing to do.
Speaker 2: Do what we should stomp through this house, TI, We've
Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of stuff before we go any further.
Speaker 1: Don't forget solverbal at gmail dot com as always is
Speaker 1: the email. Find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. We've got
Speaker 1: a subreddit out there started buy Verballers for Verballers. It's
Speaker 1: reddit dot com. Slash are Slash Solid Verbal and don't
Speaker 1: forget to join our newsletter. Dan and I are working

Speaker 1: it's free. We won't spam. You just go to sliverbo
Speaker 1: dot com or website, fill out the form and get
Speaker 1: yourself signed up. Where do you want to start? Why
Speaker 1: don't you be the first too? Rummage through this decades
Speaker 1: old podcast house that we've constructed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not all clothes. Let's start here. Let's start
Speaker 2: with Oh gosh, okay, let's start with I've got this
Speaker 2: old and it's sentimental. It's a Notre Dame hard candy tray.
Speaker 2: Oh god, and it's it's been passed down from generation
Speaker 2: to generation. I don't really eat hard candy. I'm not
Speaker 2: really big on the Werthers the reasons, but for like this,
Speaker 2: it is an heirloom tie, and it would feel weird
Speaker 2: to have a hard candy tray emblazoned with Ara Parsegan's
Speaker 2: face anywhere anywhere but my my coffee table. So it
Speaker 2: does spark joy, making fun of the elderly and Notre
Speaker 2: Dame even I wouldn't even say even, I would say
Speaker 2: especially after going to the playoff and getting everybody's hopes
Speaker 2: up and just getting completely demolished. To have probably a
Speaker 2: fan base upset about going undefeated and finishing that way
Speaker 2: is I have to keep it close to my homes.
Speaker 1: Where did you get the Notre Dame hard candy tray?
Speaker 1: To begin with? I don't know.
Speaker 2: My pappy's grandpappy was the one who originally had it,
Speaker 2: and it's just been passed down from Rubenstein to Rubinstein.
Speaker 2: You know, the Rubensteins are from the northeast this country.
Speaker 2: So somebody probably liked Notre Dame or just liked laughing
Speaker 2: at other Notre Dame fans enough that they thought it
Speaker 2: was ironic to keep it on their coffee table. So
Speaker 2: I am making fun of elderly Notre Dame fans. Sparks
Speaker 2: joy for me. So it's hanging around. It's not too big,
Speaker 2: it's not too cumbersome, and there will be butterscotch over
Speaker 2: butterscotch stains over airparks.
Speaker 1: But what forever? What is our rule here on sparking joy?
Speaker 1: Does it need to spark joy for both of us
Speaker 1: in order to keep it in the podcasting house or
Speaker 1: just one of us? Just one of us?
Speaker 2: We each get to make calls on the various man
Speaker 2: various items.
Speaker 1: All right, it's March Joy. We'll keep it around the
Speaker 1: butterscotch stained era PARSI he rummage through destroy here for
Speaker 1: a second. This could be a little bit emotional for me.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I've got here at keepsake that was given
Speaker 1: to me by both TCU and Ole Miss, labeled here
Speaker 1: with a card, one of those little heart cards on
Speaker 1: it that says from the both of us. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: have had this in my possession since about two thousand
Speaker 1: and four. As you know, I've been very tight with
Speaker 1: TCU and very tight with old Miss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're holding on to to a love of a
Speaker 2: bygone era.
Speaker 1: For as long as I can remember. The thing is,
Speaker 1: every time I'm ready to move on, I see one
Speaker 1: of the other out at Wegmans and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they changed their hair. It's like, oh, maybe maybe we
Speaker 1: could grab coffee sometimes. And then eventually you get close
Speaker 1: enough and you realize, oh, this isn't this isn't working.
Speaker 1: So it's this constant seesaw that I've been on over
Speaker 1: I'm being honest here the last fifteen years of my
Speaker 1: life with TCU and Old Miss.
Speaker 2: In your darker moments, you will retreat to your closet
Speaker 2: and find that old land shark's jean jacket. Let's smell it.
Speaker 2: Just get up in there and smell the land Shark
Speaker 2: of Days, the Robert kim.
Speaker 1: Dcha T shirt Jersey still sparks joy. Okay, but the
Speaker 1: question is what about this keepsake? M h, I think
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. It gave me a lot
Speaker 1: of good years, Dan, a lot of good years. But
Speaker 1: I cannot be at a place in twenty nineteen where
Speaker 1: I'm still going on Facebook and looking up TCU and
Speaker 1: old Miss to see what they're doing, to look at
Speaker 1: the latest pictures. This keepsake is just a bitter reminder
Speaker 1: of bygones. I think I need to move past I'm
Speaker 1: married now, I know what the hell's time. I need
Speaker 1: to move past my TCU and ole Miss thing, and
Speaker 1: this keepsake is really just bringing up bad memories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should have gone on an eight prey love
Speaker 2: journey to really fully get over all Miss and tc
Speaker 2: you by now.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna thank it, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: We'll give it one final play here this little music box.
Speaker 1: So does this mean we'll send it on its way?
Speaker 2: Does this mean officially you will be down on TCU
Speaker 2: and ole Miss come August.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I'll be down on t or extend
Speaker 1: that you won't be up. You won't be high on that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very ambivalent.
Speaker 2: Okay, you've been hurt, I have Okay, you're human. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's move on throughout this house. Let's go outside. I'm
Speaker 2: looking at this Jim Harbaugh backyard trampoline, and I say
Speaker 2: to myself, I've had some good times. It was pricey,
Speaker 2: for sure, but there's something inevitable about a backyard trampoline.
Speaker 1: Do you think trampolines are a good idea?
Speaker 2: I think trampolines when you are caught up in the
Speaker 2: moment and they are defensible, it's you can, you know,
Speaker 2: hours of fun. You can do all you can put
Speaker 2: it by a pool, a basketball hoop. They're versatile, you
Speaker 2: know you can if you're athletic enough, you can do flips.
Speaker 2: You can bounce people who are sitting others. Yes, I
Speaker 2: think trampolines are mostly fun, but there's always a dark side.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you put netting around. It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter if you hire new coaches.
Speaker 1: And netting is never high enough for a tramp enough.
Speaker 2: It's never strong enough it. You know, moving on to
Speaker 2: a new offensive coordinator is Yes, it's the sensible move,
Speaker 2: but is that what truly ails the trampoline or is
Speaker 2: it the trampoline itself? And so I am going to
Speaker 2: thank this trampoline for giving me years and years of
Speaker 2: fun and fodder. But I think it's time to donate
Speaker 2: this trampoline. You know, you're only supposed to own a
Speaker 2: trampoline for so long. Kids grow up and move out,
Speaker 2: and I think it's it's time for a new stop
Speaker 2: for this trampoline. I don't I don't want to put
Speaker 2: this trampoline out, you know, on the curb. I want
Speaker 2: to find a good owner. But the Jim Harbaugh backyard trampoline,
Speaker 2: for me, I'm not sure that it has an everyday
Speaker 2: use anymore.
Speaker 1: For me, trampolines are a bad idea, man, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is a fully bad idea.
Speaker 2: But I think there's something inevitably dark about the trampoline experience.
Speaker 1: See YouTube videos of the trampoline blowing over in gale
Speaker 1: force winds, or someone going a little too.
Speaker 2: It's the double jump, and all of a sudden somebody
Speaker 2: tears in a killer.
Speaker 1: That's right. So I was gonna I was gonna go
Speaker 1: there next. But yeah, sometimes you stray a little bit
Speaker 1: too far from the center as long as a chance
Speaker 1: of cracking your head on the side. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: not a good idea.
Speaker 2: Do you have a personal favorite? As we go off
Speaker 2: into a tangent, but also it's related to the home
Speaker 2: sort of a personal favorite type of YouTube fail category.
Speaker 1: I know what yours is by the old QVC fails
Speaker 1: of the guy falling off the ladder. Of course, these
Speaker 1: are all horrible things that sound like terrible people, but.
Speaker 2: Fails in which clearly the person is not seriously debilitated.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's an old QVC ladder fall video if
Speaker 1: you google that one. That's an old time favorite. There's
Speaker 1: one with the guy in the Samurai sword where the
Speaker 1: sword breaks on QVC. Anything caught on QVC generally will
Speaker 1: make me giggle. Mm hmmm. I like that. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have two.
Speaker 2: The first is wedding dances gonna rye Okay, sure, when
Speaker 2: a couple really goes for it practicing and they're gonna
Speaker 2: swing dance and there's a toss and then somebody goes
Speaker 2: through a table. That gets me. That is just that
Speaker 2: is right up my alley. But my main fail jam
Speaker 2: that I would like to spread on my brain toast
Speaker 2: tie is little kids in power wheels. Power wheels fail right,
Speaker 2: power wheels fails are just you know, out of control
Speaker 2: down a hill, falling asleep at the wheel and doing donuts.
Speaker 2: I just can't get enough. So trampoline fails are not
Speaker 2: up there for me because it's.
Speaker 1: Just too dark. All right, let me go through this here.
Speaker 1: This is probably gonna be an easy one. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Just pull us out of closet for a second. What
Speaker 1: do we want to do with this sexier than Etzel
Speaker 1: board game that we have from Partner Brothers. It's so specific.
Speaker 2: It was given away at an early seven September game.
Speaker 1: I think we got this. We got this at a
Speaker 1: Yukon yard sale, didn't we? We did? We did very expensive.
Speaker 1: I mean I think I speak for both of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the new guess who. Yeah, okay, you got
Speaker 2: to flip down tiles. All right, let me go back
Speaker 2: in the box here. I've had this one wrapped up
Speaker 2: for a while. I pull it out. M M.
Speaker 1: I don't know what every August September this is the
Speaker 1: is Texas back needle point throw pillow.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so this was to rest your head.
Speaker 1: This was given to us on one of our eight
Speaker 1: trips to the south by Southwest, the question of whether
Speaker 1: or not Texas is back has been a recurring one.
Speaker 1: As you know, we've been doing the show. It's going
Speaker 1: to be for I don't know how many years, now,
Speaker 1: eleven years. I'll get close to you, Hu, get close
Speaker 1: to you. We've been wondering when Texas is going to
Speaker 1: be back forever, and so having this throw pillow close
Speaker 1: to us always is something that just constantly reminds us. Now,
Speaker 1: the fact that Texas is not back, Dan, where do
Speaker 1: you stand on this?
Speaker 2: I think it ties the room together. That's where I stand. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want this home to look like a model home.
Speaker 2: I want it to look like us, and so especially you,
Speaker 2: you love this question. It sparks a weird amount of
Speaker 2: joy for you. I couldn't imagine you owning a couch
Speaker 2: without your Texas is Texas back throw pillow.
Speaker 1: See, this is a very close relative of that keepsake
Speaker 1: I got from TCU and Old Miss. Because Texas being
Speaker 1: Texas serves a purpose? Is this has a function? Texas
Speaker 1: being Texas was in the lexicon, I think even before
Speaker 1: TCU and Old Miss. But certainly you can put your
Speaker 1: head down on this it can comfort you. For me,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's still sparks joy,
Speaker 1: like you said, ties the room together, still an essential
Speaker 1: part of what we do here in this podcasting house.
Speaker 2: So does this theme mean that you don't want Texas
Speaker 2: to be back? You do want Texas to be back
Speaker 2: to whatever that actually means, or that you relish bathing
Speaker 2: in the purgatory that is Texas football. Perhaps starting out
Speaker 2: really well and having people rush to saying Texas is back,
Speaker 2: or by the end of the season having it be
Speaker 2: sort of open ended like it was after last year,
Speaker 2: where there were some down moments and close calls and ugliness.
Speaker 2: But winning the Sugar Bowl brings about this throw pillow
Speaker 2: to the forefront that it is a centerpiece of your
Speaker 2: college football's brain living room.
Speaker 1: The answer to all of your questions is no, Okay,
Speaker 1: I look at this. This is a podcasting house that
Speaker 1: we are rummaging through here, right, look at all the
Speaker 1: crap we got in this house. Okay, we've gathered this
Speaker 1: for well over a decade here. Yeah, now it's all here.
Speaker 1: I don't want Texas to not be back, nor do
Speaker 1: I want Texas to be back I enjoy the fact
Speaker 1: that as a podcast we can continually ask the question
Speaker 1: whether or not they are, and depending on who you ask,
Speaker 1: people see different things. But that's part of what makes
Speaker 1: it amusing to me. It's just the question that has
Speaker 1: never answered. You really liked the last season of Lost,
Speaker 1: didn't you? I never saw Lost dank, that's weird.
Speaker 2: I just people that enjoy that last season are just
Speaker 2: garbage TV. Well I never saw any That's like a
Speaker 2: big JJ Abrams thing, Like, it's not the answer, it's
Speaker 2: the question.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. That's kind of where I'm
Speaker 1: at with this.
Speaker 2: All right, our next item the dependable as I rummaged
Speaker 2: through my closet and we all have items where of
Speaker 2: clothing where it's not that it's the most stylish thing,
Speaker 2: it's not that it's the most comfortable thing, but you
Speaker 2: really just feel like yourself right sure, whether it's a
Speaker 2: button down or a pair of jeans or shoes or socks,
Speaker 2: where it's just difficult to get rid of it because
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, this is just a classic item in
Speaker 2: my wardrobe. And as I'm going through this and I
Speaker 2: something just fell my Northwestern cardigan. Okay, that you know
Speaker 2: you don't really have to wear in September, which is
Speaker 2: good because it's rough in September for Northwestern, But come October,
Speaker 2: there's something very comforting about light warmth tie, like it's
Speaker 2: not going to do all sorts of heavy lifting come
Speaker 2: December or January. You know, it's not a parka, it's
Speaker 2: not a puffy jacket, it's not a coat, it's not
Speaker 2: a pea coat. But there's something very comforting like, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna throw on this CARDI yeah,
Speaker 2: and really just enjoy this fall walk on some leaves,
Speaker 2: and I can always depend on that cardigan, just feeling
Speaker 2: soft on my skin and keeping me just a little warm.
Speaker 2: But come come some challenging days, come wintry mixed days,
Speaker 2: come sleet days, come thunder snow. I can't depend on
Speaker 2: this cardigan.
Speaker 1: Cardigan. We're a cardigan in thunder snow.
Speaker 2: Dan, No, absolutely not. I think it's time to thank
Speaker 2: this cardigan for all that it has done and making
Speaker 2: me feel like me. But I mean, it's dependable, Dan,
Speaker 2: It's dependable. It's dependable. What's better than a crisp fall walk, ty,
Speaker 2: But I think I'm upgrading. I think I need some
Speaker 2: more fleece in my life. I think I need a
Speaker 2: hood in case it starts to sprinkle. And the cardigan,
Speaker 2: while comforting, is something that I'm just not ready to
Speaker 2: fully enjoy anymore, knowing what else is out there. And
Speaker 2: so I tip my hat to you Northwestern, but need
Speaker 2: I need some and stronger later in the season, That's
Speaker 2: what I need. I know you beat a team like
Speaker 2: Notre Dame a few years ago. I know that that
Speaker 2: that did you well in the wind, but come, Ohio State,
Speaker 2: come Michigan.
Speaker 1: Being pretty warm is not good enough for me anymore. Bygones,
Speaker 1: be bygones, let's go be gone. Here's here. What do
Speaker 1: you have? This is actually still in the box, okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit I'm a little bit afraid
Speaker 1: to spray it.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get to it, but you just haven't yet.
Speaker 1: It's still in the box. I'm afraid to take this
Speaker 1: out and spray it because, as you know, it's rather intoxicating.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who listen to the
Speaker 1: show may have this in their closet as well. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about that old vintage two thousand and five USC
Speaker 1: cologne Ooh, that we got you see that all the
Speaker 1: way in the back corner. I like it. Most of
Speaker 1: the team is now on Fox Sports. That's right.
Speaker 2: It has a distinct smell. You immediately know what you're
Speaker 2: looking at and seeing and those are the same things
Speaker 2: and smelling and just the general vibe when you're around somebody,
Speaker 2: maybe it was you wearing that USC cologne.
Speaker 1: Do we want to keep this around? First off, I
Speaker 1: don't know what this smells like. If I spray this,
Speaker 1: it smells like the sweat of lofa tatupu. Okay, if
Speaker 1: the solid wife comes in here and smells this, she'll
Speaker 1: be none too pleased. I think we need to get
Speaker 1: rid of this. I actually think how that this has
Speaker 1: done more harm than good to USC fans, certainly to
Speaker 1: Clay Helton. Having that old USC cologne around is not
Speaker 1: doing anyone any favors. That being said, that old USC
Speaker 1: team was so much fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are many of them. I don't know
Speaker 2: if there's a specific Well, I've.
Speaker 1: Got the I've got the ticket from the two thousand
Speaker 1: and five Notre Dame USC game, the Bush Push game
Speaker 1: that I was at laminated and up on the studio
Speaker 1: wall here. Yeah, so I'm willing to hold onto that
Speaker 1: as my memorabilia from the USC team's gone past, and
Speaker 1: not so much this cologne, which, once it gets up
Speaker 1: at your nostrils, it's just you can't get rid of it.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It takes you over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's something that is very disarming in a
Speaker 2: bad way about walking into a room and like, oh,
Speaker 2: USC guy, Okay, I know what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna bring up Pete Carroll. Cool.
Speaker 2: Oh cool, she's talking about two thousand and four. Wow,
Speaker 2: that is fifteen years ago. There is something that is
Speaker 2: alarming and almost I don't want to be too mean here,
Speaker 2: but predictable. And I want some change in my life.
Speaker 2: I want something new. There's just something stale about this
Speaker 2: old cologne. And I don't have a problem with cologne
Speaker 2: in general. Tie, let's upgrade the scent. We don't all
Speaker 2: need to smell the same, we don't all need to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: And then I way, So the final point here on USC,
Speaker 1: and it's not relevant so much to the cologne as
Speaker 1: it is the current state of USC. But I had
Speaker 1: a big gathering here last weekend big fantasy draft, Fantasy
Speaker 1: Baseball draft, and one of my friends is a diehard
Speaker 1: USC fan, huge USC fan, and the question in the
Speaker 1: room for him was do you like Clay Helton? How
Speaker 1: do you feel about Clay Helton? That's so mean? He
Speaker 1: looked very casually at the room and said, I like him,
Speaker 1: just not as the coach. Oh, okay, yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: was a good answer, good way to answer the quite
Speaker 1: everyone likes Clay Hilton the man as a coach. Different story.
Speaker 2: That's like the ultimate real life list exactly. He's a
Speaker 2: good guy. Also, Lofa Tatubaho was not on the two
Speaker 2: thousand and five squad. So the USC cologne smells like
Speaker 2: a sweaty Brian Cushing. That sounds about right, Brian Cushing
Speaker 2: after wind sprints. If you can let that fill your nose?
Speaker 1: All right? Where are we going next? Here? All right?
Speaker 2: Next, let's go to Oh. I like this one Florida
Speaker 2: state and the bird feeder. Okay, it's brought to the
Speaker 2: world obviously. A bird feeder is something you use to
Speaker 2: attract some You like a good bird tie.
Speaker 1: I do like birding. I am an avid birder.
Speaker 2: Yes, do you have a bird feeder in your backyard?
Speaker 2: I have two two birds? Actually no, I have three
Speaker 2: I'm three bird feeders.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: A bird feeder when it's working properly, attracts birds, feeds birds,
Speaker 2: gives them a sanctuary, a place to sort of relax
Speaker 2: develop as birds. You know how people talk, really develop
Speaker 2: their song.
Speaker 1: They stop buy for some multiplication table shirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Florida State bird feeder is a nightmare. It's
Speaker 2: leaking seed, it's never filled, the walls are collapsing, it's
Speaker 2: never fit. You think a bird is going to come,
Speaker 2: and then the bird just flies over to the North
Speaker 2: Carolina bird feeder. It's it's something that I thought was
Speaker 2: going to be a really good idea. I thought, Man,
Speaker 2: this bird feeder is going to attract so many quality
Speaker 2: birds to my backyard and it's really going to be
Speaker 2: the centerpiece of this this area.
Speaker 1: Of my house. And all you got were squirrels.
Speaker 2: Got a lot of squirrels, a lot of pets. It's
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of holes in the bird house.
Speaker 2: I just the construction of the bird feeder and the
Speaker 2: bird house on my part was shoddy. And I think
Speaker 2: it's oh, you built cut bait. I built the bird house.
Speaker 2: Who you know with the Florida State instruction structure, manual
Speaker 2: and really thought I was going to do a good job,
Speaker 2: but it seemed like an I got a lot of
Speaker 2: great birds nearby, it should be nothing to get them
Speaker 2: into my backyard, and it's just been a nightmare so far.
Speaker 1: Time. Do you have a big backyard in Brooklyn? Huge? Uncommon? Uncommon?
Speaker 1: But the idea was sound.
Speaker 2: I stand by the idea, but my execution, I think
Speaker 2: has been problematic, and I just am going to go
Speaker 2: a different direction.
Speaker 1: So if I understand correctly, you are, I'm going to
Speaker 1: thank myself. You are taking responsibility for the struggles I am,
Speaker 1: the trials and tribulations of the Florida State bird feeder.
Speaker 2: Does that mean a new bird house could be a
Speaker 2: good fresh start.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but this one is not working out
Speaker 2: so far from me, and so that's my fault.
Speaker 1: I'm moving on. I want to go to I haven't
Speaker 1: played with these in forever. Listen to this? Are you listening?
Speaker 1: Can you hear? I'm listening? Wow? That is my Alex
Speaker 1: hornybrook A limited edition series of pop guns. Okay, I
Speaker 1: got these. I got these from an adoring Wisconsin fan
Speaker 1: many moons ago. As you know, I've got this thing
Speaker 1: for pop gun arms in you do college football and
Speaker 1: it goes almost the original. The original was Bryant Monies
Speaker 1: from Hawaii.
Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say Timmy Chang, but I got
Speaker 2: the wrong Hawaii quarterback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like Bryant Mooney. And I'm not disparaging any
Speaker 1: of these guys. They played college quarterback. I did not,
Speaker 1: so they've already got that on me. But you know,
Speaker 1: the style of the game's a little bit different when
Speaker 1: you got a guy like a Bryant Monies just doesn't
Speaker 1: doesn't really throw with a high rate of velocity. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think he had a Heisman campaign. He may have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eleven was a bad quarterback.
Speaker 1: Just didn't throw the ball very hard. How to angle
Speaker 1: it up to get it out? Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's on your all pop pop gun arm team?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Brian Maees is on Rushmore. Okay, he's up
Speaker 1: there on a personal level. Tommy Reevees is at least
Speaker 1: in the conversation. You could probably put Trace mc sorely
Speaker 1: in that conversation as well. Have Horny for Hornybrook. I've
Speaker 1: got Hornybrook here. I would probably need some time to
Speaker 1: really put together a comprehensive list, but I'm willing to
Speaker 1: do that because this is something I'm passionate about.
Speaker 2: Also, just tweet us or email us about who your
Speaker 2: favorite pop gun and like, this is to be clear,
Speaker 2: they're successful despite not having a lot of arm strength.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: It's it's playing a football video game or any sports
Speaker 2: video game when like the health level is in the
Speaker 2: red and there you have no more turbo kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Right, Like, I don't think Tim Tebow would quite fit
Speaker 1: into this count.
Speaker 2: He's enough army. He's had a weird, weird motion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hercuy jerky motion, and he was very inaccurate. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking about someone who just doesn't throw it very
Speaker 1: hard but still ends up being somewhat successful. You can
Speaker 1: make a case for Ian book right now out notre
Speaker 1: game obviously very successful. Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore, Yes, probably
Speaker 1: in a pretty good arm He was.
Speaker 2: More anticipatory, so he wasn't gunning it in somewhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are a lot of quarterbacks who rely on
Speaker 1: timing based roots to have success at the college level.
Speaker 1: This was given to me in an ironic sense because
Speaker 1: I've long had fascination fascination with the pop gun arm. Kink.
Speaker 2: Can I go as far as saying, kink.
Speaker 1: Sure if you want. It's uncomfortable, I'm grimacing, but yeah.
Speaker 2: College, I mean, we did a hot and bothered episode.
Speaker 1: We did, we did. I'm just never really that into
Speaker 1: the pop gun arm. I think it's time I let
Speaker 1: this go as well, because, as we saw with Trace
Speaker 1: last year, as we saw with Ian Book last year,
Speaker 1: as we've seen time in again with college quarterbacks, having
Speaker 1: a pop gun arm does not necessarily make you a
Speaker 1: losing and or ineffective quarterback, right. It might not make
Speaker 1: you an NFL prospect, But then again, we don't do
Speaker 1: an NFL show, right, and largely we don't really give
Speaker 1: a d NFL the NFL on a college football show.
Speaker 1: So I am willing to take these pop gos more
Speaker 1: pop on the Alex Mornybrook Limited Edition pop Gun. I
Speaker 1: want to take it and throw it out the window here,
Speaker 1: donate it to a kid looking for a Christmas toy.
Speaker 1: But I think it's had its run with me.
Speaker 2: I'm going through all these teams. I don't know who
Speaker 2: I would I gotta go. I think about this. I
Speaker 2: have to think about my pop gun arm rankings.
Speaker 1: Listen if you give me the weekend dog, I can
Speaker 1: come back with a full on pop gun Google doc
Speaker 1: Jake Browning.
Speaker 2: Okay, even an okay arm. I think you have good ones.
Speaker 2: Give it some thought and nobody with the yips. You
Speaker 2: can't say stave no, okay, no, yes, that's different.
Speaker 1: Help me out. That's solid verbal. Let me know all
Speaker 1: pop gun arm hall of fame.
Speaker 2: Weak yet successful throwers.
Speaker 1: Yes, where are we going next? Dan? Let me all right?
Speaker 1: You ever open up that kitchen drawer? You know how
Speaker 1: it's like, why do we have eight scissors in here? Right?
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the James Franklin egg timer. Okay, so
Speaker 2: why did we have this to begin with? That's a
Speaker 2: good question you. I mean, when you're setting up a kitchen,
Speaker 2: you need to have the essentials right. And I know
Speaker 2: most ovens have built in timers. You can use the microwave.
Speaker 2: But sometimes you want to fall back of old analog technology.
Speaker 2: Let's get rid of it. Let's just this is taking
Speaker 2: up room. It doesn't we have we have stop watches
Speaker 2: on our phones. I think it's time to get over
Speaker 2: relying on James Franklin and timing anything correctly to make properly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is taking up way too much room in the drawer.
Speaker 2: Now I can't I can't see from here what it
Speaker 2: looks like. Is it branded James Franklin? Oh, his head
Speaker 2: is on it for really, Yes, and it has like
Speaker 2: his signature.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hmmm. It's cruel that they would even make this
Speaker 1: given his end of game awareness.
Speaker 2: Almost ironic tie a little bit. Yeah, let's get rid
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Let's just ditch it.
Speaker 2: We're tossing a lot out here. Yeah, this feels very healthy.
Speaker 1: Give me somebody you have next, give me something else,
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go with. Oh, this one's tough.
Speaker 2: This is tough for me because there's a usefulness to
Speaker 2: it that is for me going to be hard to
Speaker 2: part ways with. The Mark d Antonio crate of tangled
Speaker 2: digital cables.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have so. I had my eye on this too.
Speaker 1: You want to get rid of the whole crate.
Speaker 2: Well, I just need to go through it and figure
Speaker 2: out what's actually working, because there's a lot of use
Speaker 2: in the defensive cables, but they're tangled with everything.
Speaker 1: You've got and that freighted lightning cable that I think
Speaker 1: will still deliver power but might give you a shock.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of problematic offensive cables in here. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of FireWire, and I don't think FireWire is
Speaker 2: coming back.
Speaker 1: No, and I.
Speaker 2: Should get rid of it much in the way that
Speaker 2: this coaching staff on offense should be overhauled. But I
Speaker 2: just at some point I'm gonna say to myself, well,
Speaker 2: maybe Tis Mixer has FireWire and I should bring it
Speaker 2: on the road. He'll ask me to bring it on
Speaker 2: the road, and it would be awful if I get
Speaker 2: rid of it. And we can't find a fire Why
Speaker 2: we can't find a radio shack or a best Buy
Speaker 2: in still Water, Oklahoma. I just it's hard for me
Speaker 2: to part with because it has brought me.
Speaker 1: So much use. It's almost metaphorical.
Speaker 2: Do you have a crate of tangled digital cabs? Do
Speaker 2: I have like eight crates?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What is the likelihood on a scale of one
Speaker 1: to ten that you will or are willing to go
Speaker 1: through that create and actually throw any of those cables out?
Speaker 2: It's tough for me personally. It's like a four. I
Speaker 2: know I should, and sometimes I find myself needing certain
Speaker 2: cables that I know I probably have micro USB that
Speaker 2: kind of thing, but I just have it for the
Speaker 2: like just in case moments. And I know by going
Speaker 2: through it, I'm going to ruin the future for myself.
Speaker 1: So when I was moving in here, I went through
Speaker 1: my house and I found one of those old cables
Speaker 1: for an Iomega zip drive. You remember that? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course? And I couldn't bring myself to get rid
Speaker 1: of it. Really, what if I need to use it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What could you possibly? I don't know nothing nothing. I
Speaker 1: don't even know where the zip drive is. Che can't
Speaker 1: get rid of old cables.
Speaker 2: Get rid of it, get rid of these this offensive
Speaker 2: coaching staff. I'm out until Michigan State gets rid of
Speaker 2: this coaching staff. I don't care about Rocky Lombardi. I
Speaker 2: don't care about any of this update or suffer the
Speaker 2: consequences of me not caring that much, me not believing
Speaker 2: in you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on next. Let's rummage through here
Speaker 1: and see what we can find. Okay, here we go,
Speaker 1: Here we go. Let's go to our Gus mals On
Speaker 1: commemorative hour glass dand ooh, okay, here is what I
Speaker 1: love about this hour glass.
Speaker 2: Doesn't take up a lot of room.
Speaker 1: Doesn't take a lot of room, doesn't collect a lot
Speaker 1: of dust. Cost one million dollars, cost one million dollars. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What I love about this hour glass, Dan, is there
Speaker 1: is infinite sand in the top chamber, A million dollar
Speaker 1: hour glass that never actually runs out of the sand.
Speaker 2: Okay, the time's never up. The time is never up.
Speaker 2: No matter how much it looks like the the grains
Speaker 2: are going to start making their way down, always finds
Speaker 2: a way to just stop and exist.
Speaker 1: A million dollar hourglass here. So are you?
Speaker 2: Does it bring you joy that Gus mals On is
Speaker 2: somehow able to cheat time time after time.
Speaker 1: I think it's a question akin to is Texas back? Really?
Speaker 1: I just enjoy the fact that we find ourselves in
Speaker 1: this situation every year where you like the unease? Is
Speaker 1: his time going to be up? Right? No, they're gonna
Speaker 1: win ten games, Gus Belzan is safe. No, they're gonna
Speaker 1: win seven games like six and seven. This constant push
Speaker 1: pull is what keeps me coming back for more. While
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna say this sparks joy. Never getting rid
Speaker 1: of this. I like it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a nice mantlepiece, a conversation piece. All Right,
Speaker 2: this one's gonna be rough for me because as we
Speaker 2: go out into the garage. I still have this. It's
Speaker 2: a dusty crate of mary Kay and Herbal Life products
Speaker 2: with a with each of them having a big old
Speaker 2: Oregon o on them. Got a lot of recruiting involved,
Speaker 2: We got a lot of flash and salesmanship and whether
Speaker 2: or not these products are going to get me the
Speaker 2: riches that I would like to have, And so there's
Speaker 2: definitely somebody at top of pyramid. I was gonna say
Speaker 2: possible pyramid scheme, not even possible for sure. And it's
Speaker 2: a matter of can I flip this into results. I
Speaker 2: think I can make a decent living with all these
Speaker 2: mary Kay and Herbal Life products. Decent living, but in
Speaker 2: terms of becoming wealthy, I don't know. I need more
Speaker 2: than salesmanship and recruiting. I need to see results, and
Speaker 2: I just I can't in good conscience say I'm seeing results.
Speaker 2: Yet I'm gonna give it more time. I'm gonna let
Speaker 2: this crate hang around. I'm gonna dust it off, but
Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic, but I'm giving it a little more time.
Speaker 2: It sparks enough joy in me that I'm going to
Speaker 2: try to keep recruiting and see.
Speaker 1: Where that gets me. Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2: I feel a little bit icky though, Ichy, that's okay, okay,
Speaker 2: lots of colors with all the Mary Kay stuff.
Speaker 1: Let's stay out west, Okay. We actually have something that
Speaker 1: might be worth a lot bit of money here. What
Speaker 1: do we have? It is not this podcast, as you
Speaker 1: know now. We have a first edition an original manuscript
Speaker 1: of Art of the Deal by Larry Scott. Oh eugh,
Speaker 1: Larry Scott wrote the original manuscrit. So Larry Scott. I
Speaker 1: didn't know this about him, but Larry Scott was formerly
Speaker 1: a professional tennis player. He was and I think ran
Speaker 1: the WTA, ran the WTA for a while, got up
Speaker 1: to I think sixty ninth in the world I saw
Speaker 1: as a doubles tennis player, which is a little okay,
Speaker 1: pretty good. Something like two hundred and tenth was his
Speaker 1: highest rating as a singles player.
Speaker 2: What are the big cornerstone elements of Larry Scott's Guide
Speaker 2: to Succeeding in the Business of Conference or is chapter
Speaker 2: three look like one of those sample Microsoft Publisher pages
Speaker 2: with just a bunch of digits and letters as just
Speaker 2: fill in.
Speaker 1: I never figured out why it has Laura Mipsom in here.
Speaker 1: A lot of Laura ipsom and why the remember the
Speaker 1: little paper clip guy from the old Microsoft work, Like,
Speaker 1: why is he atop the page here on chapter three? Right?
Speaker 1: I don't really know if there is a strategy, Dan.
Speaker 1: That's part of my confusion with why this book ever
Speaker 1: got published.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of fire festival to this book. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of just like, screw it, let's do it
Speaker 2: and be legends and no matter what happens that Larry
Speaker 2: Scott is gonna still sell a ton of copies and run.
Speaker 1: Off with some cash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't Larry.
Speaker 1: Scott just get in trouble for spending like seventy five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars at the Aria in Vegas?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know if it was his or that.
Speaker 2: Probably the conference is money. I mean, if we want
Speaker 2: to get into Larry Scott, I think he's on a
Speaker 2: lot of things pretty poorly, but there's a lot that's
Speaker 2: out of his hands. And I talked about this a
Speaker 2: little bit with who did we have on I think
Speaker 2: it was Bruce Felban about the PAC twelve and the
Speaker 2: autopsy where it's just like if USC were awesome two
Speaker 2: years ago and finished out Washington State on the road
Speaker 2: and made the playoff. This conversation is not as loud
Speaker 2: like if the top of the conference were better. We're
Speaker 2: not necessarily paying attention to Larry Scott's hotel room pricing.
Speaker 2: So art of the deal, Larry Scott. I think it's
Speaker 2: a it's an ironic party gift that I think is
Speaker 2: worth keeping because it's a first edition.
Speaker 1: This is something that you take to a white elephant. Yes,
Speaker 1: do we want to say it's sparks joy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you're down on your luck financially, you
Speaker 2: throw it on eBay. You're getting ten fifteen dollars. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: first edition. All right, we'll hold on to that one.
Speaker 1: Hold on to it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let me rummage through the here please for
Speaker 2: a second. Oh, I think we're making such good progress.
Speaker 1: Look at this place. It's really it's spick and spit.
Speaker 1: So I have this next item in an old plastic container.
Speaker 1: I probably should have given it a little bit more respect.
Speaker 1: But walk me through it. You know, I moved. I
Speaker 1: have here the ashes of the Big Twelve that were
Speaker 1: donated to us by Dan Bebe. Yeah, donated by Dan
Speaker 1: Beebee and maybe by our friend Chip Brown as well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the the Big Twelve has as you know, long
Speaker 1: been a talking point for all the wrong reasons. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Big.
Speaker 2: Twelve is a fine matty Memphis, you see, a.
Speaker 1: Fine college football conference with a lot of history. But
Speaker 1: there was that moment where we all thought that the
Speaker 1: biggest teams in the Pac twelve we're going to be
Speaker 1: consumed by like the Pack forty two to create some
Speaker 1: super conference. During all that, all that that angst that
Speaker 1: surrounded conference realignment or the conference.
Speaker 2: Texas, Texas A and m Oklahoma Oklahoma State gonna move
Speaker 2: to pack that was I think those are the teams.
Speaker 1: I think it was something like that. It was definitely
Speaker 1: both of the Oklahomas, Yes, and Texas. That was a thing.
Speaker 1: So we thought the Big twelve was dead or that
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to look at all like it does today.
Speaker 1: Two teams did leave the Big twelve. So now the
Speaker 1: Big twelve only has ten and there are some longer
Speaker 1: term questions about where this conference goes, what this conference
Speaker 1: looks like fifteen twenty years down the line.
Speaker 2: I'm saying Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: State, Colorado, Colorado.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, yeah, So Nebraska and Colorado leave for the
Speaker 2: Big ten and Pack twelve, respectively.
Speaker 1: Given the success, I think at the very top of
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve conference, it is really looking like these
Speaker 1: Ashes spawned a new Big twelve something to be a
Speaker 1: little bit more excited about. Like maybe these Ashes were
Speaker 1: created prematurely, but also maybe these Ashes could be relevant
Speaker 1: at some point down the line here given what I
Speaker 1: think we both agree is a little bit of instability,
Speaker 1: given the state of college for Pole elsewhere.
Speaker 2: I think the Big Twelve as it stands now so
Speaker 2: the Ashes have formed into like a uh like one
Speaker 2: of the fast and furious, tiny little cars. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: you know, a tiny little Honda. What's smaller than in
Speaker 2: a chord a civic.
Speaker 1: It's like a souped up civic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're fun, they're fast, sounds like a lawnmower, there's excitement,
Speaker 2: sounds like a lawnmower, size of a riding mower. But
Speaker 2: in terms of utility, there's not much more you can
Speaker 2: do with a souped up civic than race. It's not
Speaker 2: super dependable. It's going to break down a.
Speaker 1: Little nos in that little nas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I think the little Nas is Lincoln Riley
Speaker 2: or Kyler Murray for that matter. But it's sure as
Speaker 2: hell is fun and that's fine, all right, So keep
Speaker 2: the urn, keep the civic whatever.
Speaker 1: What do we think of the eighty inch olead here
Speaker 1: that we have the Alabama eighty inch olead. It's a lot,
Speaker 1: It's taking up a lot of room. It's big for
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is big for the house, big for the room.
Speaker 2: Can't look away. And you know what they say abominated.
Speaker 1: TVs is that you can always go bigger, always always go.
Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest. If you go online, you
Speaker 1: can find TV size calculators where you have to measure
Speaker 1: your room. How far away is your couch from where
Speaker 1: you're going to put your television. There are all sorts
Speaker 1: of online calculators that help you do this very thing.
Speaker 1: In my house here they told me I could have
Speaker 1: a ninety inch television. Wow, a ninety inch a ninety
Speaker 1: inch television? Well, humble brag. Yeah, No, it's not a
Speaker 1: big room. That's my point.
Speaker 2: Huge room, ty, I get it. I'm twelve magnum TV.
Speaker 1: I'm twelve feet away from where I wanted to put
Speaker 1: the TV. And according to the Motion Picture Association of America,
Speaker 1: I should have a ninety inch screen. How big do
Speaker 1: you go? I didn't go ninety. I'll tell you that
Speaker 1: I didn't go fifty five? Sixty five? Who went sixty five?
Speaker 1: And that's about That's about the upper limit, Rockfeller. But
Speaker 1: eighty inches eighty inches, no moss.
Speaker 2: You think that's too dominant in a room?
Speaker 1: Ah, you kidding me.
Speaker 2: You want to be able to see the totality of
Speaker 2: the room and an eighty inch O lead? Is that
Speaker 2: what people are buying?
Speaker 1: Now? Would? I would suggest O lead? If you're going
Speaker 1: to buy a big TV, you don't need to recommend
Speaker 1: a brand proteg us. There's only one brand that makes it,
Speaker 1: but that's a protein go O lead. What does the
Speaker 1: O stand for? Or? Oh? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna I'm gonna hold on to this
Speaker 2: eighty inchuir.
Speaker 1: You could put it in a man cave, or you
Speaker 1: could sell it if you're hard up for cash. What
Speaker 1: was there's a commercial? She shed? She shed?
Speaker 2: Sure that she shed? Yeah, I'm gonna hang on to this.
Speaker 2: Jody with and eye has been bugging me about getting
Speaker 2: a bigger TV for a Why is that true? That
Speaker 2: is true? I have the same forty six inch Sony
Speaker 2: I've had since two thousand and nine, and it's time.
Speaker 2: It still works though, Ty, okay, the processor still works,
Speaker 2: so I have a hard time. Yeah, it's I understand
Speaker 2: why people will say it's dominating a room. You know,
Speaker 2: why don't we treat this room a little bit more sensibly?
Speaker 1: But I mean.
Speaker 2: Results or results and Jaws looks killer on an eight
Speaker 2: inch O lead.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, what do you think about to
Speaker 1: Scott Frost P ninety X DVDs? Are you ever gonna
Speaker 1: pop those in? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have it back here in my closet. Hold on, yeah,
Speaker 2: there we go.
Speaker 1: Are you ever gonna pop those in and see if
Speaker 1: you can get the full transformation?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's aggressive transformation. I man DVDs. I don't even
Speaker 2: know how I would play a DVD. You know that
Speaker 2: throwback feeling that you get from Scott Frost and Nebraska.
Speaker 1: You can't even pop a DVD in your laptop anymore, No,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. Don't have an optical drive.
Speaker 2: I am going to try and figure out a way
Speaker 2: to get it done, like if the videos are on
Speaker 2: YouTube or something, or I can stream it somehow I
Speaker 2: can buy a digital version. But ultimately, long term, I
Speaker 2: don't think the results I have in the back of.
Speaker 1: My head aka an eight pack sure.
Speaker 2: Align with reality of what's happening as a thirty five
Speaker 2: year old dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan, See the problem with workout DVDs is that
Speaker 1: every time you go online to try and find reviews,
Speaker 1: everything is very positive.
Speaker 2: Of course, remember tybo I served Billy Blank's ribs in
Speaker 2: high school.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, that's true, you know. I mean, where's he now?
Speaker 2: I assume West Hills, California. But I don't know what kind.
Speaker 1: Of staying power does this workout really have? What kind
Speaker 1: of transformational power does it have? Can it transform you
Speaker 1: in a timely fashion so that you don't lose your patience?
Speaker 2: I think Billy Blanks is Blanks? Are Banks Blanks b
Speaker 2: l A n ks. I think Billy Blanks is not
Speaker 2: like Olsen Twin wealthy, but I think he's chased Daniel wealthy.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I have not seen him do much lately.
Speaker 2: How much is he?
Speaker 1: Wow? He is worth a lot of money. He's wearing
Speaker 1: a yellow singlet on the video that I pulled up
Speaker 1: here on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, Billy Blank is worth thirty million dollars?
Speaker 1: WHOA Wow? Good for Billy. That might be worth about
Speaker 1: Scott Frost.
Speaker 2: To be honest, so I feel like the results will
Speaker 2: happen with Scott Frost, the Scott Frost DVDs. I feel
Speaker 2: like there will be noticeable, impressive results. Okay, eight pack,
Speaker 2: jiggly Pecks, thunder Calves power Glutes.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm getting to be an Apex
Speaker 2: predator with Scott Frost Power p ninety xdvds. I don't
Speaker 2: think I'm there. I'm not becoming dk Metcalf and thus
Speaker 2: I believe Nebraska tops out at ten and two, nine
Speaker 2: and three interest consistently. Yeah, impressive, huge physical transformation turnaround
Speaker 2: eight pack in power glutes. I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 2: seeing it.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the guy from that MTV show? What
Speaker 1: was it, the one where they want the perfect body. Oh,
Speaker 1: the calf surgery and he had the calf implants.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was made or something.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a cousin of maid. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: what got me thinking about that. We've really covered some
Speaker 2: ground here from Thunderclves, Billy Blanks too. It was true life, life,
Speaker 2: true life and yeah, you google calf implants MTV, it
Speaker 2: shows up right away.
Speaker 1: I think about that monthly.
Speaker 2: Ty I'm going to read you according to Complex. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you're just based on these titles and you can't
Speaker 2: choose calf implant guy. Okay, Complex has the greatest MTV
Speaker 2: True Life characters of all time. And so I'm going
Speaker 2: to say true Life and I'm going to do post Colon.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you True Life Colon. Okay, you ready, sure?
Speaker 2: True Life. I have a hot mom. True Life. I'm
Speaker 2: addicted to sex. True Life. I'm addicted to food. True Life.
Speaker 2: I hate the government. True Life. I'm a fanboy. True Life.
Speaker 2: I'm a street racer. Okay, shout out to the civic.
Speaker 2: True Life. I'm dead broke. True Life. I live on
Speaker 2: the border. True Life. I'm a sex offender. True Life.
Speaker 2: I'm getting unusual plastic surgery.
Speaker 1: There we go. True Life. I have embarrassing parents.
Speaker 2: The sequel. True Life. I'm a gamer. Oh poor guy.
Speaker 1: True Life.

Speaker 2: True Life. I have OCD. True Life. I'm addicted to porn.
Speaker 2: Don't isolate that audio true Life. I want the perfect body.
Speaker 2: I think this is the calf that.
Speaker 1: Had to be the calf guy. Right. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I remember the perfect body bit of that, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true life. I'm getting married true life.
Speaker 2: I have a summer share. Okay, I think the clear
Speaker 2: winner is true life. I have a hot mom, because
Speaker 2: it's somebody talking about having a hot mom and that's
Speaker 2: hilariously awkward. Oh man, So yeah, the Captain plank guy
Speaker 2: was wonderful. I've never looked at anybody's calves.
Speaker 1: We've got time for a few more things here, all right,
Speaker 1: give me, let's walk through this house. We got off topic.
Speaker 1: Let's let's tape up some of that old stuff that
Speaker 1: we've got. Oh, thank you. Oh I feel we're going
Speaker 1: to donate all this stuff. Let's let's go back to
Speaker 1: the Big twelve for a second. Okay, do we really
Speaker 1: need these Lincoln Riley moving pods?
Speaker 2: Oh god, this is just almost pragmatic.
Speaker 1: It's pragmatic, but it's taking up critical sight lines in
Speaker 1: the backyard. We want to put a paver patio back
Speaker 1: here off the back edge of the podcasting house, right,
Speaker 1: want to have a nice grill station. M want to
Speaker 1: have a good place where our guests can gather and
Speaker 1: listen to the verbal as we typically have here at
Speaker 1: the podcast house, as you know, Dan, But these moving pots,
Speaker 1: we got nowhere to put the moving pods. They're really
Speaker 1: at the top of the driveway. They're huge, they're an
Speaker 1: eye sore, and they're getting in the way.
Speaker 2: They make moving very convenient, though they do if you
Speaker 2: need to move at the drop of a hat. They
Speaker 2: do in a colder month. Yeah, they don't spark joy
Speaker 2: for me. Okay, I think they're very practical. But I
Speaker 2: think if we need to get moving pods, we can
Speaker 2: always just call an order more moving pods. It's not
Speaker 2: somethfficient to keep on hand, at least not at this juncture,
Speaker 2: because I think Lincoln Riley is going to be staying.
Speaker 1: Put for a while. Really, yeah, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: don't think.
Speaker 2: So there comes a time to capitalize on one's success.
Speaker 2: And let's say and let's say Jalen Hurts doesn't work
Speaker 2: out in the way he's not in the same stratosphere
Speaker 2: as Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's name goes from scorching hot to merely warm.
Speaker 2: I could see him not wanting to fall further away,
Speaker 2: farther away from NFL general managers. And not that the
Speaker 2: money is one thing. Because college you can make a
Speaker 2: ton of money. That's not a huge deal. He's living
Speaker 2: in Norman, Oklahoma. It's not a particularly expensive place to live,
Speaker 2: per my guess. But I don't think if they go
Speaker 2: nine to three this year, all of a sudden, he
Speaker 2: might see his name shrink and freak out a little
Speaker 2: bit and oh wow that. I don't know what jobs
Speaker 2: will open up in the NFL next year, but you know,
Speaker 2: Freddy Kitchens is a disaster in Cleveland or somewhere with
Speaker 2: a good, young, promising quarterback, and that job opens up.
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance that this is the last
Speaker 2: year of Lincoln Riley and having those pods around.
Speaker 1: So that they spark joy for you.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't bring me any joy. It doesn't bring
Speaker 2: me any I don't. I think we got to get
Speaker 2: rid of it. I don't, even though it's pragmatic, You're right,
Speaker 2: I don't think we need to take them with us
Speaker 2: into our future.
Speaker 1: Donate it to Randy Edsel, that's right, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: last one here to Clay Hilton. Sure, let's go to
Speaker 1: our triple option magic bullet. Dan.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, do you own a magic bullet? I do
Speaker 2: own a magic bullet. It was a gift from my
Speaker 2: in laws and I use it.
Speaker 1: I got one for my wedding as well. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a popular wedding gift. Maybe we should
Speaker 1: send one to our boy tailor.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, if he's into smoothies, if he's into
Speaker 2: purifying sauces, pureing sauces.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Yeah, the triple option magic bullet though, mm hmm,
Speaker 1: stakes on like a nice double meaning here too. It does,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah. I have never been a fan of
Speaker 1: the triple option magic bullet. Okay, I don't think the
Speaker 1: thing works the way it's supposed to. Mm hmm. And
Speaker 1: what I really don't like what really creeps me out
Speaker 1: about it. When you get your triple option magic bullet
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, you plug it in, you flip it on,
Speaker 1: all the lights flicker. It's like drawing too much power.
Speaker 1: Is that true? It is true? Oh, okay, I haven't noticed.
Speaker 1: It draws a little too much power from the main board.
Speaker 1: And I'm afraid the whole thing's gonna blow up. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's really not that spectacular to begin with.
Speaker 2: It does little jobs. It does little jobs.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm tossing this thing out. I don't think you
Speaker 1: get well longevity out of this. I would rather spend
Speaker 1: the money. Now, if you're cooking for one, I'm not
Speaker 1: cooking for one anymore. I know neither of you. You're
Speaker 1: cooking for three. I know this is true. Let's get
Speaker 1: rid of it. Spend the money on something that's going
Speaker 1: to give us a little bit more longevity and do
Speaker 1: a better job.
Speaker 2: I am a big believer in the magic, the triple option,
Speaker 2: magic bullet for even decent sized meals. I think it
Speaker 2: has utility. I think it speeds things up in terms
Speaker 2: of you can't make a whole meal with it, you
Speaker 2: can't chop everything for a meal with it. But the
Speaker 2: reason I'm donating this is not because I don't like it.
Speaker 2: It's because I don't believe that decision makers at big
Speaker 2: places believe in it. And so that is it's just
Speaker 2: exhausting to look at Arizona hiring Kevin Sumlin instead of Kenyamatalolo.
Speaker 2: It's exhausting to look at Kansas hiring Less Miles instead
Speaker 2: of Jeff Munkin or somebody like that, when so clearly
Speaker 2: the chopping would get done efficiently, and I think food
Speaker 2: would get made in a way that is way better
Speaker 2: and more organized than it would be otherwise. But the
Speaker 2: chefs don't care. The chefs just don't care, or the
Speaker 2: restaurant owners just don't care. And I'm just I'm fighting
Speaker 2: a losing battle here, So I'm donating the magic bullet,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm with you, Dan, Yeah, so look, listen,
Speaker 2: an expensive knife in stat.
Speaker 1: I guess we could probably do way more of this.
Speaker 1: You hear all this junk, that's just I don't know
Speaker 1: how loud it's coming through on the microphone, but we
Speaker 1: got a lot of junk up there. I gotta go
Speaker 1: through a lot of this, a lot of junk, and
Speaker 1: maybe we can do more of this, but at least
Speaker 1: for now the Kaun Murray method. Look at this place,
Speaker 1: it's already taking on a whole new shape.
Speaker 2: I'm just glad neither one of us is going to
Speaker 2: smell like a sweaty Brian Cushing anymore. No, No, I
Speaker 2: think we're done with that scent.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, please do right in.
Speaker 2: I feel so much more organized.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a weight off my shoulders.
Speaker 1: Spring cleaning very much a thing. You're an actual big
Speaker 1: believer right in the con Mari method. Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: you folded cloths. My life is file folded at this point.
Speaker 1: I've donated a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2: But the problem that I have that you do not
Speaker 2: have is once you add a third, tiny little human
Speaker 2: to your household, especially one that's not super large in
Speaker 2: a big city. It's not my stuff that's taking up
Speaker 2: a lot of room. I do have some stuff, but
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, your place shrinks a lot.
Speaker 1: So are we talking about whether or not the solid
Speaker 1: baby sparks joy? The solid baby does spark joy. Okay,
Speaker 1: the making sure.
Speaker 2: All of the toys and rockers and bottles and onesies,
Speaker 2: that's that's heavy duty. That's platinum level kan Mari method.
Speaker 1: You will have your day, sir.
Speaker 2: I know the one thing I really did not realize.
Speaker 2: This is what I would recommend to expectant expecting parents.
Speaker 2: Get in a rhythm of crazy organization. Get in a
Speaker 2: crazy rhythm of any time a dish is out, you
Speaker 2: gotta wash it real quick and put in dishwasher to
Speaker 2: like almost become a pit crew. Before the little one arrives,
Speaker 2: we were okay, but we are. There are lug nuts everywhere.
Speaker 2: It's also my semi my second recommendation in terms of
Speaker 2: being over organized, live in a place with a washer
Speaker 2: and dryer, whether it's a house or an apartment. Do
Speaker 2: whatever you have to do to live in a place
Speaker 2: with a washer dryer, because we have one for the
Speaker 2: first time, and thank god we do. Oh all right,
Speaker 2: I need Mari condo over here pretty quickly.

Speaker 1: gmail dot com let us know what else we should get.
