Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal I'll that for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be happy, you want to be happy
Speaker 1: for dake Ado State? Is that? Whoo whoom? And Dan
Speaker 1: and Tie welcome back to the Solid Rebel Boys and girls.
Speaker 1: My name is Ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over
Speaker 1: there in rainy, very rainy New York City. My man
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you?
Speaker 2: I am super excited for Marie Condo Part two? Is
Speaker 2: that what we're doing, That's what I prepare for.
Speaker 1: No, we're doing a Q and A show tonight.
Speaker 2: We're doing well, it's sort of a Q and A show, right,
Speaker 2: It's we asked for a specific topic. We have a
Speaker 2: specific theme, and we just used people to help us
Speaker 2: source the actual topics. Yes, so it's not a full
Speaker 2: que's there's a section of it that is creatively Q
Speaker 2: and A. I guess the whole thing is creatively Q
Speaker 2: and A. But it's very specific. And I particularly like
Speaker 2: this topic and I like this kind of show because
Speaker 2: I can throw out a number, a likelihood number. That's
Speaker 2: the theme of our show is coming up with likelihood
Speaker 2: percentages of certain events. Happening or not happening. And when
Speaker 2: they do happen, I can SAYH nailed it in June.
Speaker 2: And if it doesn't happen, if say Penn State goes
Speaker 2: oh to three against Michigan Schools and Ohio State, I
Speaker 2: can say, you know I was confident then, but you
Speaker 2: know it's it was an exercise and you know you
Speaker 2: just got to you got to feel through the motions
Speaker 2: to combine like three different idioms.
Speaker 1: So a show like this is at no risk to
Speaker 1: the host. Love a good hedge, no risks at all
Speaker 1: whatsoever to the host.
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Ti. He's Dan.

Speaker 1: know I've been teasing this now for weeks and months
Speaker 1: and years on end. You probably want to sign up
Speaker 1: for the newsletter. Soon We've got we've got stuff in
Speaker 1: the works. I say it every week. I'm not byessing you.
Speaker 1: Trust me. I'm not b yessing you. I was running
Speaker 1: ties running now I'm not running. I have been talking
Speaker 1: to you, Daniel more over the last three weeks, i'd
Speaker 1: say on a daily basis than ever before. I gotta
Speaker 1: say I still like you. You're still a good dude.
Speaker 2: I disagree, but I appreciate you thinking that externally. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's we've had a lot of war room discussions, a
Speaker 2: lot of Google documents, more so than usual.
Speaker 1: And go on.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm pretty excited for whatever this potential next version
Speaker 2: of the Solid Verbal is because it's it's been a
Speaker 2: long time coming.
Speaker 1: Also, don't forget to follow us out there on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
Speaker 1: And there's a subreddit. We didn't start it. We moonlight
Speaker 1: as redditors from time to time on our own subreddit,
Speaker 1: but m hmm, it's mostly just a bunch of superverballers
Speaker 1: out there at reddit dot com. Slash are slash Solid Verbal.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about all the episodes, you
Speaker 1: want to contribute feedback after the fact, during while you're listening,
Speaker 1: what have you. It's out there. We've got a teeming community.
Speaker 2: See if you can spot ties anonymous account.
Speaker 1: No, I don't, I don't do that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a hint. It might be
Speaker 2: it might be Barry Alvarez's butt cheeks. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to say, that's for sure. And you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: very excited after I made the Nick Saban deep Fakes
Speaker 2: joke that there is a user nick Saban deep fakes.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: So I think if we just keep making very specific
Speaker 2: jokes about coaches, eventually people will keep having to sign up.
Speaker 2: They'll have to sign up for the reddit, the subreddit,
Speaker 2: and there will just be a Barry Alvarez's butt cheeks.
Speaker 2: That's just how it works on Reddit.
Speaker 1: Well, Daniel, congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail.
Speaker 2: You've got mail on the solid.
Speaker 1: Verbal As often as we can. We like to pay
Speaker 1: homage to those of you who write into soliverble at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. But over the course of time, you
Speaker 1: know that's expanded. Not just the email, it's also the Facebook,
Speaker 1: also the Twitter, also the Instagram, also the Reddit. Any
Speaker 1: which way you can get a question to us. Where
Speaker 1: we've done our best here to compile that into a
Speaker 1: trustee Google document. We're going to work our way through it.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned at top, got some likelihood questions. We've
Speaker 1: also got some other choice questions.
Speaker 2: It will tease it out.
Speaker 1: We will tell you when the football portion of this
Speaker 1: here show has reached its natural conclusion before we dive
Speaker 1: into some of the other topics.
Speaker 2: I think it's just one main topic.
Speaker 1: Ty It is corporate bathroom meticut correct.
Speaker 2: Corporate bathroom etiquette, behavior, recommendations, strategies. This is something that,
Speaker 2: if all works out in the universe, you will dedicate
Speaker 2: your life, books, podcasts, merchandise, self help seminars to explaining
Speaker 2: how to be the best bathroom attendee.
Speaker 1: We will get into all that and more before where
Speaker 1: we do. I got an email here I just want
Speaker 1: to cover this briefly. At Genlein by the name of Adam,
Speaker 1: who listens religiously to the show, writes in to say
Speaker 1: that his father, Fred, a Notre Dame fan, a verballer,
Speaker 1: currently suffering from lymphomo. Oh no, He just wanted to
Speaker 1: know if we could give him a shout out, and
Speaker 1: I thought we'd be happy to oblige. So Fred, if
Speaker 1: you're out there, if you're listening, do your best, keep
Speaker 1: up the good fight, keep watching those irish and stay solid.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, shout out Fred?
Speaker 1: All right? Where do we want to go? First? In?
Speaker 2: Okay, So the exercise is quite simple. We asked for
Speaker 2: you to submit a potential twenty nineteen situation say, like
Speaker 2: I said before, Penn State goes two to one against
Speaker 2: the Michigan schools in Ohio State. I believe two of
Speaker 2: those are on the road, and we are just going
Speaker 2: to come up with a percentage of this is how
Speaker 2: likely it is to happen. And in my mind I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about, like if the season we're played one hundred times,
Speaker 2: this many times and these this many simulations, it would
Speaker 2: actually happen. If that, If that jibes with how your
Speaker 2: brain is working, sure, if not, whatever, So let's start there.
Speaker 2: Penn State, who is a little bit thinner, had a
Speaker 2: lot of transfers this past offseason, which is gonna happen
Speaker 2: with you know, recruiting on the high level that they did.
Speaker 2: I think they finished with in terms of class I
Speaker 2: think they were top ten with regards to like the
Speaker 2: average grade. So they're bringing in a ton of great athletes.
Speaker 2: Two and one are better against Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan
Speaker 2: State two and one or from the Maui beer guy.
Speaker 1: I'm going under. So if I'm putting a percentage on that,
Speaker 1: I understand I already broke the rule. I'm sorry. Thirty
Speaker 1: three percent chance that they go too and one against
Speaker 1: that competition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got thirty percent. Yeah, it's a tough road.
Speaker 2: What do you hear like when you put your ear
Speaker 2: to the ground an Eastern peak? Are you asking for
Speaker 2: some inside information here? Do? What do you hear about
Speaker 2: Shan Clifford.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm hearing, to be honest, I
Speaker 1: am hearing in general, I think an optimistic tone from
Speaker 1: a lot of Penn State fans. Sean Clifford. He was
Speaker 1: a four star kid. Sean Clifford had an opportunity to
Speaker 1: play a little bit last year. Ye all in all,
Speaker 1: the reviews on him were pretty positive. He played in
Speaker 1: the spring game. Remember we thought Tommy Stevens was going
Speaker 1: to be the guy, But Thomas Stevens is moving on.
Speaker 2: So starting at Mississippi State.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be at Misissippi State. So you know, I
Speaker 1: think the reviews on Clifford have been positive, but I
Speaker 1: think those are very much tempered by the fact that
Speaker 1: he's not Trace McSorley, And therein lies the source of
Speaker 1: the angst if you're a Penn State fan, because Trace
Speaker 1: was there, obviously the most winningest quarterback in the history
Speaker 1: of the program, set a ton of passing records and
Speaker 1: was a winner through and through. It's a lot to
Speaker 1: go from first off in offense that had Joe Morehead
Speaker 1: and Saquon Barkley, trace mcsorrely in a better receiving corps
Speaker 1: and now kind of dwindled down because college football naturally
Speaker 1: cycles itself through to essentially a whole new cast of characters.
Speaker 1: So I think there is cause for optimism, but also
Speaker 1: cause for a little bit of like, let's wait and
Speaker 1: see with Clifford.
Speaker 2: So you're saying it's not super likely that they win
Speaker 2: two of those three, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No, because the Ohio State games on the road late
Speaker 1: in the year, Ohio State is going to be tuned
Speaker 1: up for that one, you know it.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Ohio State and Michigan both have pretty
Speaker 2: easy It's like Rutgers before for Ohio State, and I
Speaker 2: believe it's Illinois before Penn State for Michigan. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And on the Penn State side, they're on the road
Speaker 1: at Iowa a week before they come home to play Michigan,
Speaker 1: and then that game is a week before they traveled
Speaker 1: East Lansing to play Michigan States. That's a tough stretch
Speaker 1: there in mid to late October. I just you can
Speaker 1: say that they're not going too and one against those
Speaker 1: three teams and still mean no disrespect to Penn State.
Speaker 1: I would expect Michigan and Ohio State are both going
Speaker 1: to be pretty good this year.
Speaker 2: Couple of these well, first of all, we also got like,
Speaker 2: is James Franklin going to be the coach next year
Speaker 2: or in two years or in four years? And like
Speaker 2: man Penn State fans, Wow tough. I'd put it sixty
Speaker 2: percent that he will be in I think three years
Speaker 2: sixty percent. Herefore, yeah, I'd put it right around there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think more likely than not Seth Latrell coaches a
Speaker 2: Power five team in twenty twenty. North Texas has done well,
Speaker 2: has been on this show, has done a really good
Speaker 2: job as part of a development team for a quarterbacks everywhere,
Speaker 2: Nick Foles, a couple guys at North Carolina, Mason Fine
Speaker 2: was his name was brought up for Kansas State this year,
Speaker 2: went to Oklahoma. From Oklahoma, doesn't look like an Oklahoma
Speaker 2: job will be available. But if we're focusing southwest south,
Speaker 2: do you think Seth Latrell is a Power five coach?
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen eighty percent eighty percent,
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the job.
Speaker 2: What's the range of job? Like I could see dominoes
Speaker 2: if Matt Campbell leaves Iowa State is does do you
Speaker 2: leave North Texas for Iowa State?
Speaker 1: Probably not, No, not if you're not if you're second kill.
Speaker 1: I think he can wait on something. He could definitely
Speaker 1: wait on something. The question is will he you know, like,
Speaker 1: even if it's not a job in the heartland where
Speaker 1: maybe he's more familiar or in the.
Speaker 2: Texas see opens up or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, someone's gonna want his services, even if.
Speaker 2: It's s C too big a job for Ceth Probably,
Speaker 2: I mean it's gonna be Jack del Rio again. I
Speaker 2: mean he's always in the running day. Seth Litrall does
Speaker 2: a great job at Arizona running that offense for a
Speaker 2: number of years.
Speaker 1: I M.
Speaker 2: There's part of me that says that USC would whiff
Speaker 2: on their first three. Of coursely Seth Latrell, that's how
Speaker 2: you get Jack del Rio. But maybe Graham Harrell is
Speaker 2: suddenly a USC. And we had somebody asking us I
Speaker 2: think it was one fell swoop a long time for
Speaker 2: Baller about Graham Harrell and could he potentially take over.
Speaker 2: We have a couple of USC success catapulting Graham Harrell
Speaker 2: into Power five job consideration, or Graham Harrel takes over
Speaker 2: as an interim guy if Clay Helton has fired mid season,
Speaker 2: which I don't know if that's gonna happen. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the point of that would be unless he's
Speaker 2: putting players in danger or something. That's a big leap
Speaker 2: for Graham Harrell. I think he's thirty four, what three
Speaker 2: three thirty four, That feels like a huge leap, But
Speaker 2: maybe he has huge success. I think Seth Latrell, I'm
Speaker 2: saying yes, I think more likely. Yeah, I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: more likely than not. I'm gonna say fifty five. Now
Speaker 2: I'm fifty five. That okay, I'm going a little boulder
Speaker 2: with eighty. I think it'll happen.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you honestly where, but my guess is,
Speaker 1: with the way he's turned North Texas around in very
Speaker 1: short order, someone's gonna want those services.
Speaker 2: Mentioned it just momentarily. Matt Campbell is still the Iowa
Speaker 2: state head coach following the end of the twenty nineteen season.
Speaker 1: This is kind of the same question, right, It's kind
Speaker 1: of the same question. Matt Campbell obviously a lot higher profile.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's succeeding at a Power five place.
Speaker 1: Yes, So I guess the question is, all right, where
Speaker 1: else would he go? Because it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a different scenario in the case of Campbell, because he
Speaker 1: would be looking for a step up for sure. What
Speaker 1: would that step up look like for Matt Campbell?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Again, I thought he would have left after last year
Speaker 1: that didn't have job. I don't know. I don't know again.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to pin me down.
Speaker 2: On was the Ohio State job was the one that
Speaker 2: he was tied to before it became clear that Ryan
Speaker 2: Day was just going to ascend to the head coaching position.
Speaker 1: I still feel like it's more likely than not. But
Speaker 1: my confidence, I gotta be honest, is pretty damn shaken
Speaker 1: after last year. So I'm going to go like fifty
Speaker 1: two percent, I.
Speaker 2: Have forty one. I don't think he is going to be,
Speaker 2: but I I think we are due for a good
Speaker 2: number of big ten changes.
Speaker 1: What it is was the question he will be or
Speaker 1: he won't be. He is still Iowa State.
Speaker 2: So by me saying forty one, I'm saying it's less
Speaker 2: than fifty to fifty that he is.
Speaker 1: Let me let me go inverted version of my previous
Speaker 1: statement and say forty eight percent.
Speaker 2: Forty eight percent, so slightly less than toss up correct.
Speaker 2: What are the jobs if because he's from Ohio, which
Speaker 2: again that doesn't necessary, he could go to USC, sure,
Speaker 2: and that I think that would be a nice win
Speaker 2: for sc But what are the jobs that presumably if
Speaker 2: he is going to be picky, which I think he
Speaker 2: should be, I think he's going to be in demand enough,
Speaker 2: being young, energetic and well liked and recruiting super well,
Speaker 2: I think he can be choosy. So what what does
Speaker 2: that mean to you? It could blue.
Speaker 1: Blood only, it could mean the NFL, could mean the NFL,
Speaker 1: And I think that's, you know, short of knowing details
Speaker 1: about who's on the hot seat and who isn't right,
Speaker 1: I think that seems like a more like the scenario.
Speaker 2: Somebody in the NFL would want him, you think so?
Speaker 2: I think was his name come? I know James Franklin's
Speaker 2: name has come up.
Speaker 1: If James Franklin's Name's coming up, Matt Campbell's name should
Speaker 1: come up too.
Speaker 2: I would say to never count out the Michigan schools
Speaker 2: right now, just with I mean D'Antonio might be there
Speaker 2: for the next thirty five years. I don't know. At
Speaker 2: Michigan State, but we'll see. With Harbaugh, I think he'd
Speaker 2: like to be there for a long time. But who knows.
Speaker 2: Other than that, there's not you know, you could have
Speaker 2: a surprise retirement like Kirk Farence or something. What about
Speaker 2: it's not blue blood?
Speaker 1: What about a job like UCLA if your theory holds.
Speaker 1: If my theory holds, and Chip Kelly calls a quits,
Speaker 1: that could be an intriguing place, top job, hire a
Speaker 1: young coming coach. I think he's just going to keep
Speaker 1: waiting for a Midwest or Southern blue blood. We keep
Speaker 1: waiting for the thing with Gus Melzon to explode at Auburn.
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced at this point it ever happens, but
Speaker 1: they would probably be Oh, it will definitely happen eventually.
Speaker 1: You will definitely happen. Eventually. It will.
Speaker 2: That'd be such a wild fit. I love that. Oh
Speaker 2: I can be talked into that. Right now.
Speaker 1: What's what's Matt Luke's status at Old Miss.
Speaker 2: I mean he's there, he is there, He's showing up
Speaker 2: for work, is they're riding out their situation. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's I don't think Matt Campbell needs to go
Speaker 2: to Old Miss. Just throwing out potentially here, Dan, he's
Speaker 2: gonna be choosier than Old Miss. Next one, I love
Speaker 2: this one. Alabama has two losses before bowl season.
Speaker 1: Whoa before bowl season? Ah? Yes, I have it at
Speaker 1: two percent. Two regular season losses is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Two regular season losses. I have it at two percent.
Speaker 2: But I'm curious to hear from you. What are the
Speaker 2: two games? And I have Alabama's edule up right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we've got road game wise. Just give me their
Speaker 2: two most likely road game wise. It's Duke Neutral. God,
Speaker 2: that sounds like such a good name. South Carolina, Texas
Speaker 2: A and M Mississippi State Auburn. With Mississippi State coming
Speaker 2: traditionally as it does after the LSU game on.
Speaker 1: The road, I guess you got to throw A and
Speaker 1: M in there.
Speaker 2: A M is a very difficult place to play.
Speaker 1: Difficult place to play. Kellen mand Back A.
Speaker 2: Couple of years ago, I had a made place against Alabama.
Speaker 1: Good coach that I've got confidence in. They've recruited.
Speaker 2: Well, your too, Mike Elco. Yeah, A and M.
Speaker 1: I think is a possibility if we're gonna split hairs.
Speaker 1: There is the Auburn game late in the year. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen at Auburn. There's some
Speaker 1: turnover at Auburn, especially at quarterback, but presumably by late
Speaker 1: November they'll have that sorted out. Ord knows by late November.
Speaker 1: Last year, that didn't sort the running game out, which
Speaker 1: could be an issue again this year if they don't
Speaker 1: figure something out in the interim. But the Mississippi State
Speaker 1: I'm still not buying in on the Mississippi State upset
Speaker 1: potential there. Wow, I like Joe Moorehead, But then the
Speaker 1: other game I guess that jumps out at me regular
Speaker 1: season wise would have to be LSU.
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I actually have Mississippi State and
Speaker 2: Auburn as and mostly for situational reasons a week after
Speaker 2: LSU and going to Starkville with what I still believed
Speaker 2: to be a coach who can engineer a pretty decent
Speaker 2: offense any week of the year in Joe Moorehead Auburn
Speaker 2: Gus Melsan supposedly isn't back, is back in control of
Speaker 2: this Auburn offense, so situationally, more time for Alabama players,
Speaker 2: not hoping this on anybody to get hurt, perhaps crucial ones.
Speaker 2: So I have late in the year as being those
Speaker 2: answers because I don't see that obvious team that has
Speaker 2: that mix of fearless quarterback, tall receivers and defense who
Speaker 2: can withstand Alabama. I don't see that combination. But if
Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy low on anybody right now, it's Mississippi State,
Speaker 2: and hey, maybe Tommy Stevens is pretty good. Know it's
Speaker 2: Joe moorehead system.
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do is the thing that I
Speaker 1: see them doing all the time. On like five thirty eight,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a less than one percent chance. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there were no there were no stipulations in your rule
Speaker 1: set that these needed to be positive integers.
Speaker 2: So that's true.
Speaker 1: Give me like a point eight percent chance of Alabama
Speaker 1: with two losses pre Bowl season.
Speaker 2: I don't believe Nielsen rates shows that are below a
Speaker 2: certain threshold, that's right. I think it's like ten thousand
Speaker 2: viewers or something. So it's na na, yeah, na, okay,
Speaker 2: that works for me. Next item, let's do a good one,
Speaker 2: but bu bu ba. I like this one a lot.
Speaker 2: Oklahoma fields a top fifty defense this season. I like
Speaker 2: h higher, Alex Crinch.
Speaker 1: I like the question.
Speaker 2: Now when we say top fifty defense, we have to
Speaker 2: be specific. You could do yards per play. I have
Speaker 2: tended to gravitate these past couple of years. Two points
Speaker 2: per drive. Okaynyson, it's it's pay s adjusted. I like that. Mond.
Speaker 1: This is also sort of your own made up statistic.
Speaker 2: It's not. Brian Fremo has a site that does this,
Speaker 2: and it eliminates garbage time. It is legit. He is
Speaker 2: half of the F plus system. I'm all in. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is no longer analytics. You can divide.
Speaker 1: Anything by anything and come up with your own stat
Speaker 1: that's true, but this is more official. He's part of
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders. I trust him. I know the name, so
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mean too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're casting aspersions. I don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mean to cast aspersions. But I still
Speaker 1: feel like this is a little bit of a made
Speaker 1: up statistic. Just me, How is it made up? To meetup?
Speaker 2: It's just easy. He eliminated garbage time.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you got?
Speaker 2: So this is what I'm this is what I'm using.
Speaker 2: I think it's nice, so I say sixty percent.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think it's more likely than not that Oklahoma has
Speaker 2: a huge rebounding season on defense, because I don't know
Speaker 2: how much I fully trust offenses with new coaches, new quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: and the Big Twelve last year was really fun because
Speaker 2: it was a bunch of returning guys. This year, we'll see,
Speaker 2: we will see. I mean, there's there's a ton up
Speaker 2: in the air with Texas Tech, with Kansas State. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's not be super worried about Kansas, but TCU as
Speaker 2: a basically a brand new quarterback room. I am. I'm
Speaker 2: feeling bullish about Oklahoma fielding a confusing ghost What did
Speaker 2: I say? Seeing ghosts? A ghost full defense? In Norman?
Speaker 2: When Alex Grinch was at Washington State, his worst points
Speaker 2: per drive defense, if that's a metric that we're comfortable with,
Speaker 2: was fifty third nationally with lesser talent, so pace adjusted.
Speaker 2: Even if there is a lot of points and yards
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma games, I think it's more likely than not
Speaker 2: that they're an actual pretty good defense with a full
Speaker 2: off season reboot.
Speaker 1: What was Oklahoma's rating last year by your.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, was it not good? It was in the hundreds.
Speaker 1: Okay, it was.
Speaker 2: I can dial it up right now, you know, pin
Speaker 2: my ears back.
Speaker 1: Sure, dial up Big twelves. Big twelve is a tough conference.
Speaker 1: If that's one hundred and thirteenth. Yeah, you got a
Speaker 1: lot of high powered offense in the Big twelve. And
Speaker 1: that's not not app to changing time soon. It's just
Speaker 1: sort of the style of play. We've said for a
Speaker 1: long time that, first off, if you're Oklahoma, you don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need to get into the top fifty to make
Speaker 1: a sizable impression with a competent defense. It just needs
Speaker 1: to be somewhat more competent than it's been. That would
Speaker 1: have made a serious impact over the last couple of
Speaker 1: years if it were the case in Norman. I look,
Speaker 1: I don't know what statistic we should use, but I
Speaker 1: know that Alex Grinch has been really good everywhere he's been,
Speaker 1: and furthermore, he's made a pretty immediate impact. So I
Speaker 1: am more inclined to believe that it's going to happen
Speaker 1: than not. What do you say, sixty.
Speaker 2: Percent to sixty percent, I'll go sixty five percent sixty
Speaker 2: five percent.
Speaker 1: I really trust in Alex grinch. I do.
Speaker 2: Stanford was the fiftieth last year nationally in defensive points
Speaker 2: allowed per drive, So yeah, I don't think that's a
Speaker 2: crazy threshold. Next item, Tie, we will hear so likelihood
Speaker 2: percent chance we will hear about Kirk Farence's tenure at
Speaker 2: Iowa and the culture he has built in Iowa's I've
Speaker 2: had one hundred and forty seven percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 2: You've got to admire what Kirk Farence is built here
Speaker 2: at Iowa. He is the dean of Big tenn.
Speaker 1: Can we talk briefly about the time we interviewed Kirk Farence.
Speaker 1: He was great, again we can very nice. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little short on personality, but that's he's a football coach.
Speaker 1: Those are your words. I thought he was delightful, very
Speaker 1: nice guy. No, very nice guy, but honest to god.
Speaker 1: We could quit this show tomorrow and if you asked
Speaker 1: me one of my top ten top fifteen moments of
Speaker 1: doing the show, it would be that moment when we
Speaker 1: asked coach Ferrence, what is your favorite TV show? And
Speaker 1: he didn't he did not have an answer.
Speaker 2: They're not like you and I Tie, I know, but
Speaker 2: he didn't have an answer. He didn't even make one up.
Speaker 2: He didn't even try. He's like, ah, I respect that.
Speaker 2: There are some people who will answer that question and
Speaker 2: make up an answer, and they'll just say I don't know.
Speaker 2: Sopranos like, oh yeah, anything resonate the Italians. I respect
Speaker 2: him saying no, I'm not saying I lost any respect
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: It was just it was such such a moment where
Speaker 1: you could see that he he had nothing, and he
Speaker 1: didn't really try to make anything up. He just he
Speaker 1: had nothing. It's such a common question, and he's like, nah,
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. I got no idea.
Speaker 2: You ever get asked like, hey, you reading anything good?
Speaker 2: I hate that question. I hate that question. Uh huck finn.
Speaker 1: I never have an answer.
Speaker 2: I mean I sometimes read books, and I sometimes don't
Speaker 2: read books because I stare at screens all day and
Speaker 2: sometimes I just like zoning out and hanging with my
Speaker 2: wife and eating Greek food or something.
Speaker 1: I desperately want to be known as someone that reads
Speaker 1: a lot of good books. Yeah, I can't honestly say
Speaker 1: I've read a full book in a long time, and
Speaker 1: really most of the time, this is a show about honesty.
Speaker 1: If I've got an hour to kill at night. We're
Speaker 1: popping in FIFA nineteen dog.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I thought you gave. I thought you retired.
Speaker 1: I did well. I retired for a while. But then
Speaker 1: they put some there hold you back in.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually think they adjusted some of the difficulty to
Speaker 1: make it seem a little easier. I also stopped playing
Speaker 1: online and started playing in the small offline dynasty mode,
Speaker 1: where I've got difficulty cranked way down.
Speaker 2: You put some bumpers on it.
Speaker 1: It's more fulfilling now.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I am reading a good but I happened
Speaker 2: to be reading a good book now. But so if
Speaker 2: anybody wants to read Range by David Epstein, I recommend it.
Speaker 2: It's really good. I tried the audiobook thing. It's just
Speaker 2: it's I don't mind that. Especially for road trips or
Speaker 2: long commutes, they're good.
Speaker 1: I did listen to actually an audiobook, The full drive
Speaker 1: home from your wedding in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Oh, that was right, that was fun. But's wife Kate
Speaker 2: got sick and you guys had to you were grounded.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Okay. The percent chance that Army goes into the Big
Speaker 2: House September seventh beats Michigan Army is going to be
Speaker 2: pretty good this year. I like that sound you just made. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they'll be good.
Speaker 1: Army is going to be pretty good this year. They
Speaker 1: may not beat Michigan, but they're going to be pretty
Speaker 1: good this season.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Wow.
Speaker 1: So they play September seventh, mm hmm. Tough system to
Speaker 1: prepare for.
Speaker 2: Their coach should be at Kansas right now. Wow, this
Speaker 2: chi loses a good amount up front. Didn't Army have
Speaker 2: Oklahoma on the ropes? Was it last year or the
Speaker 2: year before? Yeah? And that was on pay per view
Speaker 2: the great like Twitch Night of twenty eighteen, and everybody
Speaker 2: looked at like, oh, Kyler Murley on one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty yards but it was like fifteen yards per attempt
Speaker 2: or something. It's that was that last year. It probably.
Speaker 1: It probably shouldn't be higher than like ten percent mm hmm,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put it at like sixteen percent. I
Speaker 1: got it like forty really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's gonna be something weird early on this year
Speaker 2: with a national title contender. It's just it's been so
Speaker 2: boring with the top teams, the teams that are allegedly contenders.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a very strange September,
Speaker 2: and this is one of those reasons. So it's less
Speaker 2: likely that it happens in my mind. But man, to
Speaker 2: just like jump into the season, I don't know. Who
Speaker 2: does Michigan have Week one? I'll pull it up, okay,
Speaker 2: But to jump into the season they have Okay, so
Speaker 2: they have Middle Tennessee, which has been a decent program.
Speaker 2: But to jump into the season and get Army and
Speaker 2: it's before bye week, which is nice, but whoof I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'll go a little bit.
Speaker 1: They're down a lot upfront. I really like Army this year.
Speaker 1: I don't know Devin Bush realistically enough to beat Michigan.
Speaker 2: Will Hudson's back, Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 2: Dana Holgerson wins nine games at Houston this year?
Speaker 1: WHOA?
Speaker 2: I have it at thirty six percent, and that's because
Speaker 2: I think it's fewer than nine. I love Deeric King.
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be do He's coming off of a
Speaker 2: you know, pretty rough injury. And even if he gets
Speaker 2: back to roughly where he was as one of the
Speaker 2: more underrated players in terms of electricity nationally, Buddy, that
Speaker 2: defense was rough that back half of twenty eighteen. That
Speaker 2: Houston defense was dropped, getting forties and fifties dropped on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the problem with Holgerson is when you're looking
Speaker 1: at his skill set, you're not looking at a coach
Speaker 1: like him and saying, this is a defense a specialists
Speaker 1: who can come in and immediately make our defense a
Speaker 1: top four unit.
Speaker 2: I thought he hired pretty well at West Virginia. I
Speaker 2: thought Tony Gibson did a good job turning around what
Speaker 2: started out as a nightmare of a defense for West
Speaker 2: Virginia and turned them into a downright feisty unit.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are immediately two losses on here.
Speaker 2: It's going to take some time immediately two loss.
Speaker 1: At Oklahoma to open up the year, at UCF to
Speaker 1: open up November.
Speaker 2: Those are Texas. You're just writing that in as a loss.
Speaker 1: That's a loss.
Speaker 2: That's only Kensey Milton, Okay, Brandon wood bush Baby. I
Speaker 2: like the other guy they had at the end of
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 1: He was real good, wasn't he.
Speaker 2: I mean, not great against LSU, but he was he
Speaker 2: was fun against Memphis. I have them winning fewer this
Speaker 2: schedule is so that what they lose to SMU and Temple,
Speaker 2: they don't have Temple on the schedule this year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Wazoo Oklahoma at UCF Memphis. I think Brady White's eligible
Speaker 2: for a ninth year. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 2: with Navy, but yeah, I think they lose another one
Speaker 2: beyond that, whether it's Tulane North Texas, Tulane should be
Speaker 2: really really fun upfront on defense, So yeah, I have
Speaker 2: I have a seven to five year for Houston year one,
Speaker 2: but ascending. I think they're going. They're on their way up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of shootouts. I think they'll be one of
Speaker 2: the more fun teams to watch nationally. Texas and Oklahoma
Speaker 2: again split the Red River Rivalry shootout whatever and the
Speaker 2: Big twelve championship.
Speaker 1: Ooh good.
Speaker 2: One wins the first and then they not only do
Speaker 2: they end up but the other team ends up winning
Speaker 2: in the championship.
Speaker 1: I think it's likely that they're playing each other twice again, Okay,
Speaker 1: so there's at least the chance of it happening. And
Speaker 1: you know, when you play the same team twice, it
Speaker 1: is easier. I think it's easier for the opponent to
Speaker 1: change the result the second time through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a super tight game the first time
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 1: I love Texas this year, because I love Texas every year.
Speaker 1: Even though I think Oklahoma's probably got more talent, I
Speaker 1: will put this one at a straight up fifty percent.
Speaker 2: Really, so, not only do they face each other twice,
Speaker 2: which is not the most likely thing, but it's probably
Speaker 2: the most likely matchup as we sit now. So not
Speaker 2: only do they play each other twice, but they split results. Okay,
Speaker 2: I have it at twenty five. I understand the lodge.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of balls in the air in the
Speaker 2: Big twelve. Yeah, Stanford has another Heisman caliber running back.
Speaker 2: Parenthetically that we'll finish second in Heisman voting to a
Speaker 2: non Pac twelve player despite having better numbers. It's six percent.
Speaker 2: Let's go that the talent is not in that backfield.
Speaker 2: Let's go six percent on this end as well. I
Speaker 2: also think they're shifting strategically. With kJ Costello being the
Speaker 2: clear big weapon for this offense, I think they're gonna
Speaker 2: be throwing a lot more. So. Yeah, six percent feels
Speaker 2: about right to me. Arkansas makes a bowl game. Ooh,
Speaker 2: so this is what has to happen. Has to happen.
Speaker 2: Arkansas has to start out four and oh yes, and
Speaker 2: looking if they don't start out four and oh, then
Speaker 2: it's pretty much over Portland State, Ole Miss, Colorado State,
Speaker 2: San Jose State. Three of those four the non ole
Speaker 2: Miss game all at home, So they need to start
Speaker 2: out four and oh, and we have to have an uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: uncomfortable conversation about like, yeah, I know they're four and oh,
Speaker 2: but A and M on neutral fields and then the
Speaker 2: road games from their Kentucky, Alabama LSU, So they have
Speaker 2: to win those four. They're gonna have to hope for
Speaker 2: some sort of face plant from Miszoo to finish out
Speaker 2: the season without Drew Locke. They have Western Kentucky. That
Speaker 2: has to be the six. I mean, traveling to Kentucky
Speaker 2: is gonna be real tough. Yeah, I don't know who
Speaker 2: gets overlooked. I don't have the letdown look ahead body
Speaker 2: blow ish, but I don't. I still don't see it.
Speaker 2: I'm still not confident in quarterback and I'm very, very
Speaker 2: wary on this defense. So I think their absolute best
Speaker 2: case scenario this year is four inn eight because somebody
Speaker 2: else asks fourn eight is their best case scenario, and
Speaker 2: that means winning those three early non conference and sneaking
Speaker 2: by somebody Ole Miss missoo. I don't even know who.
Speaker 1: What's so you're saying fournate's the best case scenario.
Speaker 2: Fourn eight is the best case snario for Arkansas this year.
Speaker 1: You're not even imagining a scenario in which they could
Speaker 1: go six and six.
Speaker 2: No, I don't see it. I think there's too much.
Speaker 2: I think the recruiting that Chad Morris has done has
Speaker 2: been impressive, and I think it'll continue to be. So
Speaker 2: there's I know, promising blue chip quarterback who's coming in.
Speaker 2: But I mean even somebody else asked, just for context,
Speaker 2: I think it's it's Zach here Arkansas wins at least
Speaker 2: one SEC game frownie face, and so it's at Ole
Speaker 2: miss and Miszoo for me and Massu's a good team.
Speaker 2: That's just the fact that they lose Drew Locke is
Speaker 2: what the only reason I'm going with them. I have
Speaker 2: it like nineteen percent of them winning at least one
Speaker 2: Okay Conference.
Speaker 1: Odds of them making a ball I'll say like eight percent.
Speaker 2: Michigan wins the Big Ten. So John Brown, that's it,
Speaker 2: No no stipulation giving you give me a qualification. Michigan
Speaker 2: wins the Big Ten. Picture, How that happens. I think
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious. Josh Gaddis works out the defense, reloads
Speaker 2: really well, but does not make it to the playoff.
Speaker 1: WHOA all right, First and foremost.
Speaker 2: What needs to happen for a Big Ten champion, blue
Speaker 2: blood Michigan.
Speaker 1: Okay, I not make the playoffs. I am very bullish
Speaker 1: on Michigan this year. Yeah, and some of the very
Speaker 1: very early reading I've done on Michigan, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be very high in the Wolverines this season, just giving you,
Speaker 1: giving you four gat Yeah, I am. I am in
Speaker 1: on the Wolverines. So if we assume for a second
Speaker 1: that Michigan is winning the Big Ten, that means in
Speaker 1: order to do so, they've got to go through a
Speaker 1: team like Ohio State to do it at home at home,
Speaker 1: They've got to go through Penn State. They've got to
Speaker 1: go through Michigan State, who hopefully will be better Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: Nebraska shelled completely shelled Penn State last year.
Speaker 1: Right, So it like, if you make it through the
Speaker 1: Big Ten, that's already a hell of a resume, yep,
Speaker 1: which you would think should should put them in a
Speaker 1: good position and to move forward into the playoff. It
Speaker 1: then becomes a question of who else around college football
Speaker 1: is also eligible. Let's assume it's Oklahoma or Texas in
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. Let's assume it's Alabama again in the SEC,
Speaker 1: Clemson in the ACC. I think we're in agreement that
Speaker 1: whoever comes out of the Pac twelve is probably not
Speaker 1: going to make that playoff. And I don't think that
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's going on a repeat performance like they did
Speaker 1: last year. So if they win the Big Ten, I
Speaker 1: think it's likely that they also get in the playoff.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty high in their Big Ten chances. He's
Speaker 1: saying that they win the Big Ten but don't go
Speaker 1: to the playoff, correct, I think it's pretty low that
Speaker 1: that happens. I'll put that out like five percent.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame has a bye week before Michigan between USC
Speaker 2: and Michigan, which I believe Michigan has before Notre Dame
Speaker 2: Penn State on the road, so advantage Notre Dame. All
Speaker 2: really Michigan has to do to win the Big Ten
Speaker 2: and not go to the playoff is survive Army, win
Speaker 2: that game seventeen fourteen and lose comfortably, lose thirty one
Speaker 2: seventeen to Notre Dame right and run the table in
Speaker 2: the Big Ten, and all of a sudden we have
Speaker 2: a comfortable loss and a shaky ish win. I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think barely getting my army is shaky, But
Speaker 2: in the minds of on the margin voting, I think
Speaker 2: that's the scenario, and they'll finish out the season in
Speaker 2: that scenario, beating Michigan State at Ohio State and whoever
Speaker 2: Northwestern Wisconsin again in the Big Ten championship game. I
Speaker 2: have it at twelve percent because it's just hard for
Speaker 2: me to see a Michigan team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see it.
Speaker 2: If they're good enough to be beating Ohio State and
Speaker 2: a West champion, they should be good enough to beat
Speaker 2: Notre Dame at home.
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about Michigan's chances there if they
Speaker 1: win the Big Ten, also making in the playoff.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine a season in which Michigan goes into
Speaker 2: the Maryland game undefeated, is looking ahead to the bye week,
Speaker 2: and then just gets shelled at Maryland and finishes out
Speaker 2: winning the Big Ten, and Michigan has to have the
Speaker 2: same conversations to talk themselves or to talk other people
Speaker 2: into Michigan as a playoff team that Ohio State has
Speaker 2: had to have had to have after losing the way
Speaker 2: they did to Iowa and Purdue these past couple of years.
Speaker 1: That Maryland gives one game, that Maryland game is potentially
Speaker 1: an open face, let down look ahead sandwich. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: it absolutely is open and, by the way, followed in
Speaker 1: close succession by the Indiana game, which is the ultimate
Speaker 1: let down look ahead sandwich. In between a home game
Speaker 1: against Michigan State and a home game against Ohio State
Speaker 1: on the road a Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.
Speaker 2: Have you had a chance to figure out your can't
Speaker 2: fully explain it crushes for twenty nineteen, it's very early.
Speaker 1: It's very early. You should always assume Texas well.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying, like last year you were like, you're
Speaker 2: feeling hot and bothered for Indiana. I was, yeah, I
Speaker 2: was like MARYL, I don't know, I don't know who
Speaker 2: is it? Ty?
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I haven't. I haven't come to
Speaker 1: that conclusion yet. It will when it happens. Though. It's
Speaker 1: never a situation where I am consciously deciding on the crush.
Speaker 1: It's always a Harry Potter thing where like the wand
Speaker 1: chooses the wizard. It just it just comes to me.
Speaker 1: You wake up in a cold sweat. I just don't
Speaker 1: have any oh something like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Syracuse makes a New year Six Bowl, a New
Speaker 2: Year's six Bowl. Yeah no, no Grungy or Dungee anymore. No,
Speaker 2: it's all Deviats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. The schedule here, I've looked at it.
Speaker 2: There is a path.
Speaker 1: There is a path.
Speaker 2: They have to be Clemson in the Dome, and they
Speaker 2: have to, like very strangely, win a tiebreaker with Clemson
Speaker 2: to win the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: If Syracuse were to run the table but lose to Clemson,
Speaker 1: so they go eleven and one, yeah, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that's likely. Put that at like eight percent. But if
Speaker 1: they go eleven and one with one loss to Clemson,
Speaker 1: that still probably gets them in a New Year's six
Speaker 1: Bowl game, doesn't it?
Speaker 2: Eleven and one not making Yeah, absolutely probably.
Speaker 1: So you're saying you said they have to beat Clemson.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have to.
Speaker 2: They could.
Speaker 1: They could lose to Clemson, they could lose to someone
Speaker 1: else and provided they've got enough clearance in the ACC
Speaker 1: otherwise they win enough games. I mean, it's.
Speaker 2: Liberty Maryland Western Michigan, Holy Cross not a murderers bro
Speaker 2: in a non conference. No, and then you lose to
Speaker 2: Clemson midway through September, and the case for I love
Speaker 2: that we're doing this. The case for an eleven one
Speaker 2: Syracuse making it. I have it at nine percent. I
Speaker 2: have it at nine percent because I just I think
Speaker 2: teams are gonna be fine in the ACC. I don't
Speaker 2: think there's a particular standout after Clemson on their schedule.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've talked yourself into Pitt or
Speaker 2: BC or Louisville and year one but don't win a
Speaker 2: bunch of games. But I think they're going like eight
Speaker 2: and four.
Speaker 1: NC State on the road. ANC State is copy and
Speaker 1: pasted from year to year. It's just like a template.
Speaker 2: I think the last time we saw NCY State they
Speaker 2: literally were pasted by Travion Williams Streets.
Speaker 1: I'll go what you said eight, I'll say I don't know. Ten.
Speaker 2: Last year was a nice it was a perfect storm,
Speaker 2: took advantage being really pretty good.
Speaker 1: No, I can't go ten percent, five percent, five percent.
Speaker 2: I'll root for Syracuse.
Speaker 1: I'm not rooting against Syracuse, but sure five percent.
Speaker 2: Tennessee beats Alabama or Georgia. Come on, Rocky Top, Rocky Tie.
Speaker 2: I'll say twelve percent, twelve twelve, give me twenty eight.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling saucy, not necessarily because of a love for Tennessee.
Speaker 2: The Georgia situation is pretty good. I think they have
Speaker 2: a bye week before Georgia. I mean Alabama's it's at Bama.
Speaker 2: They're gonna crush Tennessee, but it's early enough in the season.
Speaker 2: Georgia I like a lot this year. We talked about
Speaker 2: the odds the odds show we did they have Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: I think they also have a bye week before Tennessee.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. There's something about Tennessee this year
Speaker 2: where I think the Auburn performance last year is a
Speaker 2: taste of what's to come. I like where they're heading.
Speaker 2: It's gonna take a little bit, but twenty eight percent
Speaker 2: fair enough. Next item, Felipe Franks is actually so much better.
Speaker 1: I have to put a percentage on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's so much better. Like you are watching him
Speaker 2: against Georgia and you say to yourself, so this is
Speaker 2: the the odds that you were saying to yourself against Georgia. Damn,
Speaker 2: Felipe Franks. Where was this version looked good against Michigan?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, full year, full off season, Dan Mullens system, right,
Speaker 2: big arm.
Speaker 1: Didn't we mention Felipe Franks when we did our draft?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This was Andy Staples big theory, like he could
Speaker 2: be the quarterback Daniel Jones that everyone talks themselves into
Speaker 2: because he's big and he's got the arm, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Felipe Franks has been caught up in a
Speaker 1: very weird era of Florida football. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of turnover. I haven't really figured out the offense, and
Speaker 1: you know, people forget that he came in as a
Speaker 1: very highly regarded prospect. People forget and it's been somewhat
Speaker 1: painful to watch him struggle just knowing that the system
Speaker 1: hasn't formed around him the way many had hoped. So
Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty good chance that we've all
Speaker 1: sold Felipe Franks a little bit short. I do wonder though,
Speaker 1: if we're a little too late in his development to
Speaker 1: actually realize his full potential. So that being said, a
Speaker 1: full year under Dan Mullen, who we know can coach offense,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's more likely than not
Speaker 1: that we look at Felipe Franks and say, ah, you
Speaker 1: know it's it's there's a little bit more there than
Speaker 1: we gave him credit for over the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 2: What I'm hearing Felipe Franks has the opportunity to be
Speaker 2: this season's Danny Etteling. Okay where and I think it's
Speaker 2: I forget who it might have been the and the
Speaker 2: valley shook the headstickers like, actually Danny Etteling is pretty good.
Speaker 2: There was something like that, and actually Danny Etling was
Speaker 2: all right. He was all right. Danny Etling his senior
Speaker 2: year at LSU sixteen touchdowns, two picks, nine yards per attempt,
Speaker 2: completed sixty percent of his passes. That's pretty good. Do
Speaker 2: you think Felipe Franks can become Danny Ettling? It's my
Speaker 2: new question.
Speaker 1: I think he can be better than Danny Eetling.
Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good line. Better than Danny
Speaker 2: yet Ling. Is that the threshold? Is that the bar
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: I get. I mean it's a hell of a bar.
Speaker 2: I mean he had huge performances against not great schools,
Speaker 2: but he was good against Auburn. Dannyet Ling he was
Speaker 2: pretty good against uh had A and m later on
Speaker 2: in that season. I believe we're.
Speaker 1: Both going north of the Dannyetling Mendozel line.
Speaker 2: It was just the Ettling line. I'm saying. I'm saying
Speaker 2: he's right there. I'm saying he's on the border, saying
Speaker 2: he's I'm saying he stopped, stopped, and searched in the
Speaker 2: in the Etling zone on the on the DMZ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So we got any other percentage questions
Speaker 1: that we want to tackle here before we move on
Speaker 1: to greener pastures.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we got a ton of these. Let's
Speaker 2: see if there's anything we got a lot of, Like
Speaker 2: Clemson Alabama. Neither Clemson nor Alabama win the national championship.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean I have it a little higher
Speaker 2: than that. I have thirty eight percent. But okay, I
Speaker 2: don't know. Whenever I see clems in Alabama's name, I
Speaker 2: just sort of get bored, Like I just like I'd
Speaker 2: rather think about Iowa State winning the Big Twelve, which
Speaker 2: Ted did ask us about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's see, this is the problem that both Clemson
Speaker 1: and Alabama have, at least in regards to this podcast,
Speaker 1: because when we start getting these questions. It's starting to
Speaker 1: inch into like which coach would you like to go
Speaker 1: on a road trip with territory? Right, And we stopped
Speaker 1: doing that a while ago. Now we can't avoid Clemson
Speaker 1: in Alabama questions because because they're the two top dogs.
Speaker 1: But Georgia's probably got something to say, Oklahoma probably got
Speaker 1: something to say. So you know, there's always a chance.
Speaker 1: I just oh Ohio State. I don't want to rule
Speaker 1: out of Ohio State or Michigan, but it just feels so
Speaker 1: likely to me that it's going to be Alabama or Clemson.
Speaker 2: You'll be shocked to hear that the ACC network is
Speaker 2: doing a fluff series about Clemson football. Did you see
Speaker 2: the trailer?
Speaker 1: I didn't see it.
Speaker 2: No, it's rough, it is rough. Go Tigers and all
Speaker 2: but oh Iowa State. It should be mentioned because Ted asked,
Speaker 2: and I'd rather talk about Brock Party. This is the
Speaker 2: stretch they have starting in mid October. West Virginia on
Speaker 2: the road. Okay, Neil Brown, first year coach, who knows
Speaker 2: what West Virginia is gonna look like? At Texas Tech. Okay,
Speaker 2: another first rounder, our first year coach, Oklahoma State, Okay,
Speaker 2: they'll be pretty good. At Oklahoma and Texas in consecutive
Speaker 2: weeks with a bye. I believe between the Oklahoma schools,
Speaker 2: I have Iowa State in the big twelve or four percent,
Speaker 2: But damn do I want it?
Speaker 1: I do want it. Yeah, it's low, it's around four percent.
Speaker 2: Uh, here's my final percent percentage. Because this is something
Speaker 2: that's going to be a talking point all year long.
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer is the new head coach at USC by
Speaker 2: New Year's Day.
Speaker 1: Oh God, this is gonna be a fantasy things category,
Speaker 1: isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, the problem with it being fantasy things is
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer could come out and say I am done, done, done,
Speaker 2: Not that it means it.
Speaker 1: It does, Yeah, I mean it could mean.
Speaker 2: It could mean less conversation about it throughout the year.
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer coaching rumors is definitely something that needs to
Speaker 1: get drafted.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I think he's done.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going anywhere. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get a cushy TV job with somebody m either this
Speaker 1: year or next. I don't know what his official status is,
Speaker 1: but no.
Speaker 2: He already has it. He already has He's doing the Fox.
Speaker 2: Remember the game day okay, Fox, he's.
Speaker 1: Gonna get a cushy TV gig and he's gonna run
Speaker 1: with that for a while. He's gonna remain a hot commodity.
Speaker 1: But I think he's done. I think he meant it.
Speaker 2: I think so too, and I think USC would probably
Speaker 2: not be where he goes. He got a taste he got,
Speaker 2: I mean the biggest you go into Florida and Ohio State.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's I was gonna say slumming it,
Speaker 2: but that was just to be mean. That wasn't because
Speaker 2: I actually meant it. I don't think he's going to USC.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, just because he's doing a TV
Speaker 2: job and SC looks like it might come out. I
Speaker 2: have an eleven percent. I'm never saying never because I
Speaker 2: think he's a competitive psycho. Yeah, I would say five percent, okay,
Speaker 2: And the final one has any to do with college
Speaker 2: football Dan getting an Alexa.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's zero percent.
Speaker 2: It's no longer zero, no six percent. And I'll tell
Speaker 2: you why, whoa whoa breaking news? Well, I have Ciri
Speaker 2: on my phone. Oh god, now my phone is freaking out.
Speaker 2: When you have a baby in your hands and you
Speaker 2: want to play music, you don't want to fumble around
Speaker 2: looking for your phone. It's not going to happen. But
Speaker 2: I get it a little bit more solid. Baby is
Speaker 2: up this to six percent?
Speaker 1: Whoa okay? Already changing?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah yeah oh everything is flip turned upside down.
Speaker 2: I lied, and I want to do one more college
Speaker 2: football one sure Kellen Mond finishes the year just because
Speaker 2: we inexplicably and I love it. Have a lot of
Speaker 2: texts ay and M people who listen Kellen Mond is
Speaker 2: a top two quarterback in the SEC. Can Kellen Mond
Speaker 2: break top to Ettling threshold?
Speaker 1: He's not a top two quarterback. He's an exciting quarterback,
Speaker 1: but he's not better than Jake FROMM and he's not
Speaker 1: better than to a tongue of ioloa.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think this question might be banking on injury
Speaker 2: or something totally strange happening. Here's we're due for a
Speaker 2: new stave.
Speaker 1: Yep, right we are. If there's If there's an injury
Speaker 1: at the top, Kellen Mond is among the next tier
Speaker 1: that could jump up and jump in and take one
Speaker 1: of those spots. But as it stands now, no, he's not.
Speaker 2: Okay, who is who is on if from and Tangoailoa
Speaker 2: are alone in the first tier. Who is with Mond?
Speaker 2: If Mond is on the second tier, which I believe
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so tough to say. In the
Speaker 1: SEC this year.
Speaker 2: Right, I would say Jared Quarantano is potentially there, Jake
Speaker 2: Bentley potentially there.
Speaker 1: Potentially we don't need Joe Burrow. Yeah, Joe Burrow made.
Speaker 1: We don't know much about the Auburn situation. We know
Speaker 1: bo Nix is going to be the guy, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. It might be one of those like fantasy
Speaker 1: situations where Kellen Mond is his own second tier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably Jake Bentley in there. I would say he's rather
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Kellen Mond. Kellen Mond, their stats are
Speaker 1: actually pretty much identical against SEC teams last year. I
Speaker 1: think I'd rather have Kellen Mond.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think though the thing with Burrow is that the
Speaker 1: stats don't reflect how good he was. He was good
Speaker 1: in spots when he needed to be, Yeah, in ways
Speaker 1: that the stats can't bear out.
Speaker 2: I think that's I don't know. I'd rather my quarterback
Speaker 2: be more consistent than just like show up a little
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's Joe Burrow. I'd rather have that
Speaker 2: Felipe Franks or Kellen Mond kellen Mond okay, Guarantana or
Speaker 2: Kellen Mond, kellen Mond Okay, they're all Jake Bentley Kellen.
Speaker 1: Mond probably still kellen Mond okay.
Speaker 2: So you I, I can only gather that you have
Speaker 2: him as number three.
Speaker 1: Then I think he's probably my number three. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If there is an injury at the top,
Speaker 1: he certainly can challenge to get into that tier.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, if it's injured top, he's there according to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: use he gets hurt too, You never know, that's true.
Speaker 1: So we've now entered the stage of this podcast where
Speaker 1: if you were here with an I know we should you.
Speaker 1: If you came here for the college football content, we're
Speaker 1: going to take a bit of a left turn now
Speaker 1: and answer some non college football questions. So we thank
Speaker 1: you for your download. You're more the welcome to stick
Speaker 1: around and listen to the remainder of the show. But
Speaker 1: we have gotten complaints from time to time that oh,
Speaker 1: you're veering too far from college football, So we just
Speaker 1: we wanted to let you know we will not take
Speaker 1: it personally if you decide not to listen to what
Speaker 1: comes next here but I personally am very excited to
Speaker 1: get some of these opinions off my chest. I feel
Speaker 1: like I've got a lot to offer in this phase
Speaker 1: of the conversation.
Speaker 2: Ty, there's a book that is popular to read two
Speaker 2: children as they train. Do you know what book I'm referencing.
Speaker 1: I don't think I do.
Speaker 2: Actually, there's a book called Everybody Poops? Right, Everyone Poops?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It binds us all no pun intended. And it's cool
Speaker 2: if you came here to listen to college football stuff.
Speaker 2: But you know, if you're a fan of Holy Cross,
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you care about Michigan football.
Speaker 2: If you're a fan of I don't know, Washington State,
Speaker 2: how much you can care about us talking about Felipe
Speaker 2: Franks and the atlink threshold, I get it. But poop talk,
Speaker 2: everybody's doing that. Sure, we ask people for questions about
Speaker 2: office bathroom etiquette.
Speaker 1: I have a question that I've been thinking a lot about,
Speaker 1: and it comes to us from Genlemine by the name
Speaker 1: of Trevor Okay. He says a scenario I have at work,
Speaker 1: as I'm sure many others do. I work at a college.
Speaker 1: My office space is one of many in three interconnected buildings.
Speaker 1: There's a common bathroom basically in my office with two stalls.
Speaker 1: There is a single bathroom about one minute from my
Speaker 1: office and a quote unquote different building. Don't know what
Speaker 1: that means, but okay, should I use the no privacy
Speaker 1: but convenient bathroom or make the extra effort for the
Speaker 1: single bathroom when I know I'll be a while?
Speaker 2: Right, So this seems like an easy call to me.
Speaker 1: You know where I stand on this. We get questions
Speaker 1: all the time about I'm an upstart podcaster. Where do
Speaker 1: I start first? What's the first thing I should do?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I respond to a man to a woman by saying,
Speaker 1: the first thing that you should do is find your
Speaker 1: own super secret bathroom.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: I think that's where you start, not just in podcasting,
Speaker 1: but really across all industries life. Yeah, Trevor. The answer
Speaker 1: here is that you find you cherish and you tell
Speaker 1: no one about that secret bathroom. You treasure that privacy
Speaker 1: whatever you can get it if it's convenient to do so. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you're in between meetings, you can't quite
Speaker 1: accommodate that privacy, but you can't make it a minute, right.
Speaker 1: I think whenever you can, you walk that extra minute,
Speaker 1: you get that privacy, and you feel better about yourself
Speaker 1: for doing it.
Speaker 2: Quite honestly, do you think that's over spoiling his system?
Speaker 2: And then he will have issues when he does have
Speaker 2: to go places where there isn't privacy.
Speaker 1: I have encountered a similar situation, and I will say
Speaker 1: that there is a bit of a mental recalibration that
Speaker 1: needs to take place.
Speaker 2: But if you do it, if you if you space it.
Speaker 1: Out enough, if you don't steer too too hard into
Speaker 1: the bathroom privacy angle, you can train.
Speaker 2: You can train.
Speaker 1: Yourself mentally to accommodate pretty much any situation.
Speaker 2: I used to work in an office that was basically
Speaker 2: a loft, a wide open loft, and the bathroom was
Speaker 2: right smack in the middle, like jutting out from one
Speaker 2: of the walls. So there was no hiding. You know,
Speaker 2: you're not walking down hallways to get to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: There was no hiding who was in the bathroom, who
Speaker 2: was on their way, who was waiting to go to
Speaker 2: the bathroom. It was just out in the open for everybody.
Speaker 2: And when that happens, you can't help but get reputations
Speaker 2: about how you leave the bathroom. And so if you
Speaker 2: are in a shared, confined space next to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: You were going to have to be okay with earning
Speaker 2: a reputation good, bad, whatever, probably bad. Nobody really earns
Speaker 2: good bathroom refuge.
Speaker 1: No, not really.
Speaker 2: And I could tell you right now, I could list
Speaker 2: off five or six people I used to work with
Speaker 2: that dropped absolute bombs. Yeah, like, and I'm sure you
Speaker 2: could as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: There are just certain people where you are, like, I
Speaker 2: know what's about to go down, and it's it's a
Speaker 2: carpet bombing. So I would skew that direction. But I
Speaker 2: get it. I get it that you have to sometimes
Speaker 2: go close sometimes you you know, the breakfast burrito isn't
Speaker 2: sitting right and there's no time. Yeah, but I would
Speaker 2: work in the close when every sing off, and just
Speaker 2: to get your system used to performing under it.
Speaker 1: You have to train mentally in this game. It's very important, correct,
Speaker 1: All right, what have we got next? You got anything else?
Speaker 1: And so many any other bathroom medicate questions?
Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, Quack twelve, Yeah, maybe it's Quack twelve podcasts.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Should I attempt to go number two
Speaker 2: quietly in a public restroom or just have at it
Speaker 2: and finish the job. Is there any situation in which
Speaker 2: you are not fully devoting yourself to health, Just at
Speaker 2: it and finish, Just have at it, you know, it's
Speaker 2: just be eric Gania. I've always felt it's easier. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in a public, public place like an airport, uh huh,
Speaker 2: A lot.
Speaker 1: Less pressure than if you're at a person where you could.
Speaker 2: We're all in it together to just obliterate this room.
Speaker 1: I think that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Whereas if you're at your office or a place where
Speaker 1: you might actually run into someone, I always worry there's
Speaker 1: a chance they're going to see my shoes, hm, you know,
Speaker 1: like if someone's nosy, they're going to put two and
Speaker 1: two together, they're going to figure it out. Everybody poops though,
Speaker 1: I know, but these are things that I worry about. Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm a thoughtful individual. So I think in most cases,
Speaker 1: in a truly public space like an airport, you just
Speaker 1: you just have at it. But if you are in
Speaker 1: a place where you might run into somebody that you know,
Speaker 1: a co worker, I think you try to make accommodations
Speaker 1: to sneak it in.
Speaker 2: Okay, because this is a percentile episode. If zero is
Speaker 2: first date, small apartment, thin walls, terrible, really like her
Speaker 2: and want to like make a good impression and not
Speaker 2: like ruin any sort of vibe. That's a zero. Yeah,
Speaker 2: one hundred is home alone, sixty eight degrees inside your house,
Speaker 2: great night's sleep, been drinking, you've been You're super hydrated.
Speaker 2: Everything is just adding up to win dated. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: you just absolutely being yourself. So between zero and one hundred,
Speaker 2: one hundred being super comfortable, zero being completely blocked and
Speaker 2: uncomfortable and not wanting to do with anything. What is
Speaker 2: your work number?
Speaker 1: Thirty five?
Speaker 2: Thirty five? Yeah, I say anything under fifty means you're
Speaker 2: cutting things short. I'm not cutting anything short, but I'm
Speaker 2: listen pacing yourself. So thirty five at the office, you're
Speaker 2: at a holiday at your in laws.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 2: Okay, So your nineties, yeah, uh, in a house of worship,
Speaker 2: God's watching.
Speaker 1: Let's move on.
Speaker 2: You can't give me a number house of worship.
Speaker 1: I can't honestly say I've ever encountered the situation in
Speaker 1: a house of worship.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the better question. You're at Yankee Stadium, unavoidable.
Speaker 2: Do you want to get in and out as quickly
Speaker 2: as possible and just do what it takes to get
Speaker 2: in and out. Yeah, or are you fully dedicating yourself
Speaker 2: to the cause, knowing you're all in it together. It's
Speaker 2: a disgusting place. It's like an airport bathroom.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm doing what I can to the middle
Speaker 1: of the fourth Yeah, just do what I gotta do,
Speaker 1: get in and out.
Speaker 2: To feel comfortable. So you're at like a twenty there, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would. I would pretty much go one hundred no
Speaker 2: matter where I am. I'm incredibly selfish that way.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to this question here from Eric. Yep,
Speaker 1: why do people try to speak to me in the
Speaker 1: office bathroom? Yeah, it's a private place. Have you encountered
Speaker 1: the situation?
Speaker 2: Sure? For sure?
Speaker 1: Have you encountered the situation? So everyone's accounted. The situation
Speaker 1: where there's just an exchanging of pleasantries just to be cordial.
Speaker 2: Usually at the sink, usually at this or or one
Speaker 2: person in as another person's leaving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have encountered two situations in the corporate setting
Speaker 1: that I'd like to discuss here. Okay, the first is
Speaker 1: the full fledged conversation at the urnal irresponsible. The second
Speaker 1: situation that I have encountered surreptitiously, mind you, is the vendor,
Speaker 1: or presumably someone who is not familiar with the bathroom setup.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, giving himself a pep talk while at the journal,
Speaker 1: not knowing that I'm stationed in the in the stall
Speaker 1: down the road.
Speaker 2: What did the pep talks sound like?
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest a lot stage fright now. No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking stage fright. I'm talking we've got a
Speaker 1: big meeting coming up. Let's remain call, going through the presentation. Gotcha, Okay?
Speaker 1: At the urnal, I feel like that's that. That's just
Speaker 1: like not knowing your surroundings. Maybe a little too amped
Speaker 1: up for whatever meeting you've got coming up, but still
Speaker 1: very weird to me, if I'm being honest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one where you've got.
Speaker 1: The conversation standing there at the urinal, I agree, is irresponsible.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: These are individuals who are raised by wolves, so I
Speaker 1: don't get that otherwise, though, I feel like Eric, most
Speaker 1: people are in a similar situation when they're in the
Speaker 1: bathroom and you're not sure how much you should commit
Speaker 1: to the conversation, what you're supposed to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm feeling the conversation as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: Exactly, so I guess my question back to you and you.
Speaker 2: Could respond to my head I'm hearing we can three,
Speaker 2: he is, go and kill kill kill, right, we can.
Speaker 1: We can make this a two way conversation. Eric, happy
Speaker 1: to discuss, Happy to discuss further. But I would just
Speaker 1: I need to know more about the depths of this
Speaker 1: conversation that you're referring to here in your question.
Speaker 2: Would you? And every time there's occasionally times on Twitter
Speaker 2: where people will say, like, hey, could you describe retweet
Speaker 2: this with the time you I met a super famous
Speaker 2: person and had like a strange encounter or something like that,
Speaker 2: and inevitably somebody's like, oh I saw Roger Clemons in
Speaker 2: a bathroom, or like blah blah blah. I don't know
Speaker 2: who this person or these people these people are for you,
Speaker 2: but who you would fully geek out seeing randomly in
Speaker 2: public celebrity wise, and if you were to pull up
Speaker 2: next to them at a urinal if you are trying
Speaker 2: to just get out a single line, I don't know
Speaker 2: who that person is.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have a couple guesses. You if you park next
Speaker 2: to Neil de grass tyson, are you trying to say,
Speaker 2: big fan? I see.
Speaker 1: I think I'm overruled by my inner moral compass when
Speaker 1: it comes to bathroom Meticut. I think I probably wait
Speaker 1: until we get to the sink, or maybe I pulled
Speaker 1: the move, or you.
Speaker 2: Know, you, I don't know. I don't know if that
Speaker 2: you can count on that you have this window. This
Speaker 2: is the only thing you know you have is you
Speaker 2: have this window.
Speaker 1: But if I get out first, I know where he's
Speaker 1: going next. I know eventually he must I know I
Speaker 1: leave the room, So that would be the opportunity.
Speaker 2: You don't know that you're pulling out first, though.
Speaker 1: Pulling out first, okay.
Speaker 2: You don't know that you are exiting the urinal and
Speaker 2: the partition area before this person who was already there.
Speaker 1: You don't know, if I mean, maybe you just make
Speaker 1: sure that you do. I think if I were that
Speaker 1: intent on starting a conversation, that would be the move.
Speaker 1: What you couldn't do, though, and this is actually the
Speaker 1: better question. If you encountered that idol, would you offer
Speaker 1: your hand to try and shake it, knowing you were
Speaker 1: both in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: You can't do it. You can't do that. You absolutely
Speaker 2: cannot offer a handshake in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I've had someone offer me a handshake in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I was very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: If you were washing your hands and completing your voyage,
Speaker 2: Neil degrass Tyson walks in and is clearly heading to
Speaker 2: the stall. Are you going to try to say something
Speaker 2: to him? I'm like, god speed, Neil.
Speaker 1: I probably, I probably am not quick enough on my
Speaker 1: feet to come up with something suitable.
Speaker 2: So you're just walking out of the bathroom going damn
Speaker 2: it time.
Speaker 1: I might give him the head nod.
Speaker 2: Hey, how are you? You know? Good luck in there, Neil.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. A good question. Actually, Derek asks
Speaker 1: a very similar question to Eric.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do?
Speaker 1: Do you talk? No, you try to keep talk to
Speaker 1: an absolute bare minimum. I agree, what else we got here?
Speaker 2: Do you talk to? Okay, here's if you are walking
Speaker 2: into the bathroom with somebody. Hey, I'm going to head
Speaker 2: to the bathroom. Oh you know what, I'll join you.
Speaker 2: I'm got to wash my hands. If they're heading into
Speaker 2: the stall, do you can do you continue your conversation.
Speaker 1: Once you enter the restroom. Once you cross that boundary,
Speaker 1: that is the line of demarcation, okay. Once you are
Speaker 1: on the other side of that, it is like going
Speaker 1: into the cornfield and field of dreams. It's like a
Speaker 1: whole different world with different rules. So no, I don't
Speaker 1: think you. I think you try to you try to
Speaker 1: find a clean break and natural stopping point, and you're
Speaker 1: you're not doing business while someone's on the pot.
Speaker 2: You just be honest, be honest. Will you take out
Speaker 2: your phone at a urinal?
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Okay, just making sure.
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: What is your go to phone situation?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it's usually it's usually Twitter. Yeah, it's usually Twitter
Speaker 1: because I don't get to read it much during the day.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, I'm not proud to say that, but
Speaker 1: maybe it's best suited for the bathroom. To be honest,
Speaker 1: it's perfect for the bathroom. Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are all been Let's see what do you do?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I like this? Yeah, this will be our last one.
Speaker 2: I got a head out, I got a dinner tie.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: What do you do when someone enters the bathroom and
Speaker 2: you're in a compromised position.
Speaker 1: Compromised position, you're stealing the toilet?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 2: Okay, So if I'm to understand this from our dear
Speaker 2: dear friend Nick Davian deep fix. What do you do
Speaker 2: when someone enters a bathroom and you're in a compromised position?
Speaker 2: Do you give a courtesy flesh or stay as still
Speaker 2: as quiet as possible until they leave? So you are
Speaker 2: in the stall, you are taking care of business, right,
Speaker 2: you are going to the restroom, you're evacuating your bowels.
Speaker 2: I think it's fine to just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of.
Speaker 1: I have been in both situations, Dan, Yeah, and I.
Speaker 2: Would like to get the I'm not saying you're walking
Speaker 2: into like a home bathroom, sure, like a single use. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm saying you're walking into just a regular old bathroom.
Speaker 1: I would like to get like the Fangrafts breakdown of
Speaker 1: how I approach this situation, just normal everyday life. But
Speaker 1: I've been in both situations where the courtesy flush could
Speaker 1: be applied.
Speaker 2: Usually applied when I've got.
Speaker 1: A meeting to get to, but otherwise I feel like
Speaker 1: I've trended towards the standoff where.
Speaker 2: You're pausing, you're hitting pause.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit pause.
Speaker 2: Oh Ti, it's a stand on your body a disservice.
Speaker 1: It's a standoff, and I have prided myself on winning
Speaker 1: most of those standoffs, but every now and again you
Speaker 1: go up against someone pretty tough.
Speaker 2: I be honest, I'm so disappointed.
Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable when you try to win the standoff and
Speaker 1: you decide that you can't, because then there's a situation
Speaker 1: with the legs fallen asleep, and it's just not good.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been in a clear, single use bathroom
Speaker 2: and forgotten to lock behind you?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: And been on the toilet?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Did you do the only thing that is allowed to
Speaker 2: do be done? It is use the third person for
Speaker 2: whatever reason. I think this is in some comedians act.
Speaker 2: But you don't say, like him, I'm using it. You
Speaker 2: say someone's in.
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, someone, I've done that.
Speaker 2: I canna tell you someone.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna yell like Matt's it here?
Speaker 1: You have to go third person?
Speaker 2: What about acupato? No, that's popular. We've really would love it.
Speaker 2: I would love if you were in the bathroom you
Speaker 2: went ti zu, isn't it time?
Speaker 1: Time? Feels like a George because stands a move.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we covered some ground here.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we didn't lose too many subscribers, but it is June.
Speaker 1: This is a college football show, and after about fifty
Speaker 1: minutes or so, be honest, we run short. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: run short, and stuff to talk about. You can always
