Speaker 2: Are you back from the dead. I'm great, Ty, thanks

Speaker 2: for asking it. I was in Where was I last week?

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: I was in Charlotte Shore. Yeah. I don't think I

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: can talk about why I was in Charlotte yet. It

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: was really fun and mysterious but fun. And then I

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: went to Nashville, which was not fully planned, but Jody

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: with and I had a work trip to Nashville and

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: I was like, great, I'll be in Charlotte. I'll meet

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: you there and she said great, and so I booked

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: a flight and then forty eight hours later, her work

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: was like, no, we don't need you in Nashville anymore.

21
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: And I called up American Airlines and they said, cool,

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be slightly more expensive to cancel your flight.

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Than to just go. I was like, cool, so I

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: went to went to Nashville.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I went to Nashville, anyway, did you do anything cool

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: in Nashville. I've heard good things about Nashville.

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 2: It's a great town. I ate and I walked around

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: a ton. I walked like ten miles according to my phone.

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which great.

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: I went to three different overpriced coffee places and got

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: crazy caffeinated.

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: Okay.

33
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: I went to Husk for lunch with our pal Travis Haney. Yeah,

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: that's cool. He's doing really well. Good sa our pal

35
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Stephen Godfrey Nashville residence.

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: So this is like the Dan Rubinstein Goodwill Tour now

37
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: that you're sort of out there and trying to promote

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: promote your fine services. The good will it was.

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: It was a whistle stop ty. Is that what Truman did?

40
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Is that what they're called? Uh? Yeah, so this is

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: great in the past couple of months.

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, thanks to everyone for tuning in.

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Dan and I are back in US. We've decided to

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: call this show. Actually I made the call earlier today

45
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: on g chat to call this show Wednesday night raw.

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: That's true, which, of course implies some sort of a

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: controversial show programming this evening.

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Would you say, ty that we are going to go

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: we're going raw and we're going to go deep on

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: topics without the protection of editing.

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I would not go that far, but okay with say sure,

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that raw with the labeling of the show.

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: But are we not going deep on topics without the

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: protection of editing?

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: That is correct, Dan, There will be no editing this

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: on this ba mak if we screw up, if we

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: make any mistakes whatsoever. It seemed to resonate quite well

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: when you did it a couple of weeks ago with

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: your interview with Bruce, when you said We're not gonna

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: do any editing. I'm not gonna cut anything out. No,

61
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: it's just going to be us raw, unfiltered. So we're

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: gonna do it here on the show. We're going to

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: prove to one and all that we can do it

64
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: on the solid and we are going to prove it

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: in the most difficult way possible because before us, we

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: have a giant Google doc that you compiled. I didn't

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: see how many pages this ended up being. Looks like

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: about ten here.

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that this is down from about nineteen or twenty.

70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: We got a ton like we just only asked today

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: and we got probably five times more questions than we could.

72
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it was like a verballer repression

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: of some sort that we just vented. And now we

74
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: got all these questions that came in about college football

75
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: and grocery stores and god, you name it, in addition

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: to a few news topics that we want to discuss

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: at the top. We've got more than enough to cover here.

78
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: And it's going to be you and I shooting from

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the hip for most of it.

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. We have questions about big teams,

81
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: medium teams, little teams. I asked for questions about grocery

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: shopping and clothing and I don't even remember what else.

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: But you know, I think it tickles a part of

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: people's brains. It doesn't always get tickled listening to sports podcasts, hopefully,

85
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it does.

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: It does tickle the inners again. We're at Solidverbal at

Speaker 1: is also there. We're a college football show. We broadcast

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: year round once a week in the off season, which,

94
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: of course is where we're at now. So let me

95
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: start here, Daniel, please, before we get into the questions,

96
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: there is a topic that you and I decided to

97
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: chat about online today and I they're always yeah. I

98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: feel like we need to bubble this a little bit

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: to the surface of the verboler hood. Here. I read

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: in my normal course of college football reading and study

101
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: and research and what have you here in the off

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: season that by the name of Blake Barnett. Do you

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: remember Blake Barnett.

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corona, California's own sort of deep into Orange County.

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Didn't he win the Elite eleven way back when maybe

106
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I think I think he won the Elite eleven. If

107
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: he didn't win it, he was in the finals of

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: the Elite eleven. Blake Barnett, noted five star quarterback prospect

109
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: at one point I think was going to go to

110
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, then decided he wanted to go to Alabama instead,

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: started his college football career at Alabama. Well, clearly it

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: got a little bit clogged in terms of the depth chart, YEP.

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: At the quarterback position at Alabama, Blake Barnett decides he's

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: going to transfer to Arizona State.

115
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 2: Makes sense.

116
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Blake Barnett has now decided that he's going to transfer

117
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: away from Arizona State, and if reports are to be believed,

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: he's going to go to USF.

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: Okay, he'll have also kind of makes sense.

120
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: It does make sense. Blakenett, Dan, for those keeping score

121
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: at home, has twenty four career pass attempts, two career

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: touchdown passes at the major college level, and now two transfers.

123
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Two trans technically more than that. I think he has

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: been at a JC for a little while, so technically

125
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: more college enrollments than touchdown passes.

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: So then we got fun and we got the thinking.

127
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Is this a Blake Barnett thing? Is this a California

128
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: slash San Diego area quarterback thing? Dan?

129
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Orange County is slightly north of San Diego.

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: Corona's I think it's by Irvine. I had thought for

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: a long time Blake Barnett was from San Diego, but

132
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: I was mistaken. But yeah, Tate for Cia with his three, four,

133
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: five different, Oh though he was another one right, he's

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: from the San Diego area. There is something definitely strange

135
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: and varied about top blue chip high school recruits from

136
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: San Diego. Either they are amazing, Ricky Williams from San Diego,

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Marshall Fox, Royce Freeman, the running back history is amazing.

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Brennan Clay went to Oklahoma and he had like a

139
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: weird DeMarco Murray situation with accusations of infidelity with his wife.

140
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: Like it got very strange. So there is something. And

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: I started looking up blue chip California quarterbacks and it's

142
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: just I mean, this year we'll have Ricky Town who

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: you remember from such schools as Alabama, USC Arkansas, a

144
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: junior college and now might be the only quarterback on

145
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: the roster at pitt after seventeen guys left the pit

146
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: quarterback depth chart after last year. So there definitely is

147
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: something strange. Like we found one guy who there's a

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: couple transfers to the IVY League, at which point they

149
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: either switch positions or burnt out at the IVY League level.

150
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: It's just if you start pulling threads on like the

151
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, we could look at maybe the last

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: ten years since Saliver became a show of blue chip

153
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: California quarterbacks. There's a lot of stories out there.

154
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: There are a lot of stories, and if you pull

155
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: on the threads, perhaps, I mean, it's so interesting. Perhaps

156
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: we should focus our attention at some point, not on

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the coaching carousel, but the California quarterback carousel.

158
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: Can I make an A plus transition?

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Go for it.

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: This was all in the context of talking about grad transfers, right,

161
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: and we were talking about Blake Barnett and transferring another

162
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: guy California didn't work out, transferring away Keller christ Tennessee.

163
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh right, this isn't recent, mind you, Right, we just

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: haven't been talking about grad transfers, and there have been

165
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: many of them.

166
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: It's not gonna it's it's a thing, and it's a

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: it's a California quarterback thing. They cannot be monogabous with

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: their first their first signing for some odds.

169
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: So what is interesting to me in terms of the

170
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: national scope of college football too, is you know, there

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: was there's the big Alabama situation, which is now it's

172
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: sort of double prong because the ECU quarterback Gardner Minshew

173
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: was going going to Alabama and now he's going to Wazoo,

174
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: so he's coming west. Jalen Hurts. His dad was talking

175
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: about how Jalen Hurts if he were to transfer because

176
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: he didn't get the Alabama's starting job, he was going

177
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: to be the most sought after free agent in college

178
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: football history, which I don't know. Cam Newton's okay, yeah,

179
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Cam Newton's right there. But Jalen Hurts is still at

180
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: Alabama and some people think he might just ride out

181
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: the year and then graduate and transfer without having to

182
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 2: sit out. So that could be. But we've had it's

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: been a robust grad transfer season and I'm curious. You know,

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: Oregon's been involved, Notre Dame has been involved. Yeah, there

185
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: was a big Nick Harvey from Texas A and m

186
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: is going to South Carolina. There across whatever rivaled, across

187
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: division rival if one can actually exist in a new SEC.

188
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: So it is. It's a thing, and it's worth following.

189
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: Very very much.

190
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: The thing.

191
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: We've got a big paragraph almost of names here that

192
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: are going to be going through their own grad transfer process.

193
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Travan McMillan, m mag just a back name for Colorado, Yeah,

194
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: running back, Yeah, going to Colorado.

195
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: I saw Kenny Bigelow.

196
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Another name here that we know from USC going to

197
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Quinton Dormody amid some of the transition at

198
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee will be transferring away from Knoxville going to Houston.

199
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned Keller Christ going to Tennessee. Who else do

200
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: we got here of Noe.

201
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: Brandy dawk Ins Indiana from Arizona.

202
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Brady White, another quarterback at AMU, a very highly recruited

203
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: quarterback at ASU going to Memphis. Yeah, there are a

204
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: number of names here. We already talked about Wilton Space

205
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: going to UCLA a couple of weeks ago, So this

206
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: is the time here we start hearing more and more

207
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: about this. We talked a little bit with Stuart Mandel

208
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: a week ago about how all that impacted shape Patterson

209
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: up at Michigan and the Michigan situation as a whole.

210
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: But we are at a situation now where, yeah, guys

211
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: changing changing schools here late in the game.

212
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: I do feel bad. There's a Temple going to Alabama,

213
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Alex Jones, which is totally fine, like that is. It

214
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: is a definite step up to go from Temple to Alabama,

215
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: But damn is twenty eighteen a bad name, bad year

216
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: to be named Alex bad.

217
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, got great, could do better. Go by the

218
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: middle name maybe.

219
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: And a totally common name. Just ended up screwing you,

220
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: just ended up getting you. So yeah, there's I think

221
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: there's a website that has all This is a.

222
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Cool transfer tracker dot com.

223
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: Go to there and learn because there are a lot

224
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: of very familiar names and entering your conference of choice,

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: exiting your conference of choice. They do a great job.

226
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: That's all. I have.

227
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: The other name here, it's not a grad transfer. Oh

228
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: who Joe Burrow? Oh that's right, Yes, Joe Burrow transferring

229
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: out of Ohio State.

230
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: I think he actually did graduate. Okay, that's relative excuse.

231
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 2: I think he did.

232
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a grad transfer. He is reportedly drawing

233
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: interest from LSU Cincinnati, where I think you might be

234
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: visiting or along with LSU.

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, Luke Fickle connection is robust.

236
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Also Arizona State. Obviously Arizona State would love a quarterback

237
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: to stick around.

238
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: And who wouldn't want to go to Arizona State. I mean,

239
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: aside from the uncommon situation there at the moment, but

240
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 2: I mean it's great to hang out in Phoenix while

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: everywhere else is.

242
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Cold Arkansas and Wyoming two other schools that, okay, have

243
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: sort of throwed their hat in the ring here.

244
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: For Joe Burrow, No, it definitely feels like because he

245
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: hasn't played significant time, but he's well regarded and was

246
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: recruited to Ohio State and just isn't as good as

247
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: prospects at quarterback with more tantalizing talent. Perhaps it is

248
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: funny that he came up through that system and everybody

249
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: is just sort of looking at him like, well, he

250
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: might be good. Who's to say, we know our guys aren't.

251
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, if he ends up at LSU. I think

252
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: he's visiting LSU either this coming weekend or shortly thereafter.

253
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: There are somebody who have I mean now without Danny Etling,

254
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: they do not have any even close to sure things

255
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: on that depth chart, So who knows? Could be interesting?

256
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: All right? Well, before we get into our vast and

257
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: I do mean vast list of questions here, yes, raw

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: and unfiltered, on this Wednesday evening, I have one important

259
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: ad that I must must get out here into the ether. Dan. Okay,

260
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: this weekend is Mother's Day. Oh, very true, FTD, you've

00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: for Mom through a floral work of art that is

263
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: delivered straight to her door. He could send the text message.

264
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: There are aletny of things you could do that would

265
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: just be nice, you know, to express your thankfulness for

266
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: having such a great mother, express your love. But there

267
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: is no better way than to show Mom how much

268
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: she means to you in your life than by having

269
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: a breath taking flower arrangement from FTD's expert floral networks

272
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: And Dan, I have an important question for you. Mm hm.

273
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: Did FTD, as part of our arrangement with them, deliver

274
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: a random bouquet of flowers to your door? They did, Indeed,

275
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: they delivered it to my They delivered to my door. Yeah,

276
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest. When I brought it in,

277
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: I was a little nervous that the solid wife was

278
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: going to think that they were coming from another female.

279
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you're a look at you, ty, How could

280
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: she not be nervous? Look at me?

281
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: How could she not write? I was a little concerned

282
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: how this was going to go over in the Hildebrand household.

283
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, A beautiful vase, a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

284
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: We brought it in. We looked it was from FTD.

285
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now I got an email from my former apartment

286
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: company because they had an old address, which is fine.

287
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: We just recently moved down the block and they're like,

288
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: you have flowers here, and I was like, I don't

289
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: think so. Yeah, I don't believe in like they're made

290
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: out to you. And I went and picked them up,

291
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: huge and beautiful. And while you know you can get

292
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: your mom whatever you'd like to to celebrate Mother's Day,

293
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: there is something about flowers tie and it doesn't have

294
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: to just go to home, doesn't have to just go

295
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: to wherever your mother lives. Sending it to the workplace

296
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: is such a power move, like, oh, look at that.

297
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: I guess uh, I guess ty cares about me more

298
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: than your son. Huh.

299
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: Pro the prone figure for both of us, because it

300
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: was a beautiful bouquet of flowers right.

301
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it was overflowingly beautiful.

302
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: The pro move would have been to claim it as

303
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: oh honey, I ordered this for you.

304
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320

Speaker 2: Absolutely So here is.

320
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: What we did. M Dan sent out the bat signal

321
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: to send in soliverbal questions. Send in college football questions.

322
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Send in questions on a variety of different topics. You

323
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,800

324
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: anything else? I'm leaving out another place where you posted

325
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: questions FTD flowers okay, great to their shop.

326
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you posted all.

327
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Over that We were seeking questions about college football and

328
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: other topics. We've got pages upon pages here, let's just

329
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: let's start going through them. Dan, where do you want

330
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: to start? You put this document together today.

331
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: Let's start here. As everybody is anticipating, will Northern Illinois

332
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: ever fire Rod Kerry? That is amazing And I'm going

333
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: to answer that question as earnestly and genuinely as I can. Okay,

334
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: go for it. I don't know why Northern Illinois would

335
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: fire Rod Carry.

336
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Rod Carry is under fifty. He is thirty two to

337
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: eight in conference in five full seasons as head football coach. Yep,

338
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: that's a good number regardless of what conference you play it.

339
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: So if you take that number on its face, I

340
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know if I'd ever be inclined to fire him.

341
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: As long as he wants to stay around, it's a

342
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: successful program.

343
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if that question was genuine But

344
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: and I use a really good story as they went

345
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: from that like huge, crazy, fun offense where they went

346
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: to the Orange Bowl a few years ago and now

347
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: their defense Sutton Smith is ridiculous. They lose their defensive

348
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: coordinator Kevin Kane to SMU and Sunny Dyke's but they

349
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: put up a top what fifteen to twenty defense nationally

350
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: last year. Recruiting has improved. Their schedule this year is rough,

351
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 2: at least early on, so they go to Iowa, they

352
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: have Utah, and they go back to Florida to play

353
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: Florida State early on in the season. But you know,

354
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: in conference the schedule is pretty nice. They have Ohio

355
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: and Toledo at home. No more Logan Woodside at Toledo.

356
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: So I am buying a near repeat performance of this

357
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: defense from NIU, And I'm gonna call it right now. Ty.

358
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: What's today's date? May ninth, May the ninth? Yeah, Rod

359
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: Kerry gets his first Bowl win. I believe he's zero

360
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: and five technically right now. I'm calling it right now.

361
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: Where are we going next? Uh?

362
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 2: We got a question about Georgia Tech and Chuck and

363
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: I like the phrasing of this question. Will Georgia Tech's

364
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: more aggressive defensive scheme because he got a new coordinator? Yeah,

365
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: I mean, and he's not wrong though, work better in

366
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: concert with their offense than the bend and then break

367
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: scheme they were in the last few years, obviously with

368
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: well the ted roof.

369
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: The operative phrasing here is bend and then.

370
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: Break, bend, and break little variety.

371
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I think anything, anything on

372
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: the Georgia Tech defensive side of the equation will be

373
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: viewed as a success. Now. I like it because I

374
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: had the more attacking, aggressive mentality on the defensive side

375
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: of football as my Fantasy Things selection either last year

376
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: or the year before. I'm all in favor of that.

377
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: I think anything on the defensive side, any kind of

378
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: change in mentality from what Tech was doing previously, should

379
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: be a net positive in twenty eighteen and beyond. Is

380
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: that fair?

381
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah? And Nate Woody has been a very good

382
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Yeah for app State these past few years.

383
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: They've only been on this level for I think four

384
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: or five years, and so after year one of a

385
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: bunch of disappointment, he's put together top forty defenses, if

386
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: not top twenty twenty five defenses. They've been excellent versus

387
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: the pass in the ACC that seems to be especially

388
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: early on Right now, Florida State will be improved through

389
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: the air. We assume Clemson will still be solid through

390
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: the air. North Carolina State returns a potential first round pick,

391
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: and Ryan Finley Syracuse is going to throw the balleton.

392
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: George is going to throw the balleton these next few years.

393
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: He should be able to help with recruiting in the area.

394
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: He's long been a coach in that region. Atlanta and

395
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: Greater Georgia area has a ton of talent and ty.

396
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. You know a lot of people say, like,

397
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: who wants to go play defense at Georgia Tech because

398
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna be going in practice against option stuff, even

399
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: if it's the whatever team, the scout team. That's what

400
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: app State not a triple option, but app State is

401
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: running a lot of option sort of crazy misleading read

402
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: stuff for the past few years on offense, so there

403
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: is a familiarity as they switch over, I think to

404
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: a different kind of three four under Nate Woodie. So

405
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, coordinator to coordinator, you know,

406
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: upgrade hires. I really like this hire for Tech.

407
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Sure can't go anywhere but up that's yes, all right?

408
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: Where we going next?

409
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: We I think was it Juice? Somebody named Juice as something? Yeah, No,

410
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: this wasn't Juice, but I got if we want to

411
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: talk Juice Williams for the rest of the show, we can. No.

412
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: This is from I'm going to try to get this right.

413
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: I promise you I'm doing my very best. I'm going

414
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: to say Sikhar Gupta, Okay, s H, I k H.

415
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: That looks right.

416
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: Sikar is my guest.

417
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: It's better than what I would do.

418
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: Who are your top five breakout players of twenty eighteen?

419
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: And I ask you this question both in terms of

420
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: who your top five ish players are that fit that

421
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: and what breakout actually means to you.

422
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: Breakout to me means that the player becomes more known

423
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: on the national stage, a household name, more of a

424
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: household name. Yeah, that to me is breakout. Now. I

425
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a top five per se,

426
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: but this is at least five names that I will

427
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: be watching very closely in twenty eighteen.

428
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: Steve Hank DeMarcus, She's gonna be five random names.

429
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Let's first start with Kyler Murray.

430
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: Oh, a no good one.

431
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, of course, had some acclaim coming out of

432
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: high school, right somewhat known, transferred away. Now playing in

433
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: a wide open system with Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma, he

434
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: stands to take over for Baker Mayfield. I think the

435
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: world is his oyster. I'm excited to see what he

436
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: can do in that system. So an athletic kid, not

437
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: the biggest of quarterbacks, but should be a lot of

438
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: fun to watch in again, a wide open system.

439
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: Kyler running game alongside for Rodney Anderson.

440
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is my number one. I'm also going to

441
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: throw out some other names in here. DeAndre Swift, the

442
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: guy that we had the pleasure of meeting, great name

443
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: down at the National Championship. We're down there, DeAndre Swift.

444
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to say it was crowded

445
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: out by Sony Michelle and Nick Chubb in the Georgia backfield.

446
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: He's certainly got a lot of premier work, but this

447
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: year he's going to be the featured back. He's a

448
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: local guy to me up here in Eastern PA, and

449
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: I think big things await him in the SEC. So

450
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what twenty eighteen has in story

451
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: for DeAndre Swift. Adrian Martinez to.

452
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: Me, oh, okay, okay.

453
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: Is an interesting name now. Adrian Martinez true freshman. If

454
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: you believe what people have reported about Nebraska spring football

455
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: and spring practice as a whole, he has impressed. It

456
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: would seem as if he might be the early front

457
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: runner to take hold of that quarterback job now under

458
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: Scott Frost. Mm hm. I am excited to see what

459
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: Scott Frost can do with the true freshman quarter who

460
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: comes in with a lot of a lot of talent, a.

461
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: Lot of expectations from you.

462
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Martinez to me, is of interest in the Big

463
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: ten west of Nebraska on the Big Ten quarterback front.

464
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins.

465
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: Ah, he's on my list too.

466
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. Now, look, he's playing at Ohio State, so

467
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: he's clearly got all of the tools around him to

468
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: succeed in a big way right out of the shoot.

469
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: But Dwayne Haskins will have his opportunity now that the

470
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: stage is cleared. He can step foot into that role

471
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: as the head signal caller at Ohio State.

472
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: And we think, are we following? Are we falling into

473
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: a trap?

474
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: You're always falling into a trap when you put a

475
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: brand new starting quarterback up here. But I think he's

476
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: got the skill set and certainly the tools around him,

477
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: the support network around him where it won't all fall

478
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, and whatever he brings to the fold

479
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: is going to be viewed very nicely. I will work

480
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: out very well.

481
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: For Dwayne Haskins, I'm more saying, are we following falling

482
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: into a trap that he is one of two candidates

483
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: most susceptible to Beckmeyer syndrome in that it appears that

484
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: the world is his oyster. And then how State plays

485
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: Michigan State in its close game and they run him

486
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: twenty four times and lose by three. That is my

487
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: concern that we forget about BMS in mid May. But

488
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: he's on my lost here, Dan, I'm going a loss,

489
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: I want to believe, but he's he's on your list. Okay,

490
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: So that's for And then the other one that I'm

491
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: going to throw in there, we saw him in limited action.

492
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: He got hurt later in the year, but he's going

493
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: to be a monster.

494
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: Dylan Moses. Dylan Moses for Alabama at the linebacker position

495
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: is going to be a monster. He's eventually going to

496
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: be a first round pick, probably a top ten pick

497
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: at some point. Gonna be an absolute monster, a one

498
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: man wrecking crew on that Alabama defense. Again, embarrassment of riches.

499
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: It's Alabama. But if he didn't know Dylan Moses's name yet,

500
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: it'd be a good time to familiarize yourself with what

501
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: he brings to the table. So those my five for now.

502
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: I will run through my four quickly because I've already

503
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: mentioned Dwayne Haskins, and I am confident I really liked

504
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: what he was able to do in limited action last year.

505
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: Donovan Peoples Jones at Michigan has a full on, real

506
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: life decent quarterback now in Shaye Patterson. And we saw

507
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: Shaye Patterson's connection with AJ Brown at least the first

508
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: half of last year, and I think he should be

509
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: able to buy time even behind a suspect offensive line,

510
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: to allow Donovan People's Jones to get behind any and

511
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: all secondaries. Juwan Washington, he is the new Rashad Penny,

512
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: who was the new Don L. Pumphrey, who both ran

513
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: for two thousand plus yards these past couple of years,

514
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: which I did the math. That's over two miles of

515
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: just running on West Coast teams time. And I have

516
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: no reasonably Juwan Washington, who by all accounts is very talented,

517
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: won't do something similar Daylon Mack, who is a known

518
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: name Dalen Mack Texas A and M I think has

519
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator who will not necessarily feature him because

520
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: he's an interior defensive lineman. But I think the organization

521
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: around and the improvement we saw from Mike Elco's defense,

522
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: coming from coming what he did at Notre Dame in

523
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: South Bend, he should be able to, I think thrive

524
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: given his ceiling talent wise. And my final pick Juwan Pass,

525
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: who has just a perfect, excellent last name for being

526
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: a quarterback. His last name is Pass and he as

527
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: a quarterback at Louisville. The system is in place, Bobby Patrino.

528
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those things like say what

529
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: you will tie about Bobby Petrino, but he knows quarterbacks.

530
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: The template is there, the playbook, the system, the ability

531
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: to develop the time he's had, the flashes he's shown.

532
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: We've seen it recently with Heisman level quarterbacks and guys

533
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: that come in after that, at least in the short term.

534
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot to like about having that infrastructure in place,

535
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: whether it was Verne Adams at Oregon, you know, Colt

536
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: McCoy following Vince Young. There's a lot to like about

537
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: these guys coming into good situations, and I think he is.

538
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: So Juan Passes my fifth. All right, where are we

539
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: going next? Next question? We got some Iowa questions, and

540
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: TI I say, screw it. Let's talk Iowa all right quick,

541
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: Let'shiowa football. Let's go Phillip. Can Iowa increase their offensive

542
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: production sixty six yards last year versus Wisconsin and win

543
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: the Big Ten West? So here's my question that I'm

544
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 2: going to posit to you and to America. What has

545
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: Iowa done to get better this offseason? Where is the encouragement?

546
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: Is there a new offensive coordinator? No, there is not.

547
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Is there a quarterback who stays there and showed promise

548
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: last year? Yes?

549
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Yes, there is definitely.

550
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: Are they without their most talented running back who is

551
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: no longer there? And Akrom Wadley he's gone, he's gone.

552
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: Are they without their two best offensive linemen from last year?

553
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: And certainly those guys developed from a point as well,

554
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: Yes they are. Are the receiving options robust and varied? No,

555
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: they're super not And I do have a tough time.

556
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: The Big Ten West year over year is going to change.

557
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't think Wisconsin's defense is going to be nearly

558
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: as good as it was. I still think it'll be fine.

559
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Nebraska's defense is going to be all

560
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: that impressive Perdue loses a ton on defense, So Iowa

561
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: will I'm saying it right here, Ty, you can write

562
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: it down and put it in an envelope. They will

563
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: put up more than sixty six yards first Wisconsin this.

564
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: Year, so yeahst likely. Yeah. So in the end my

565
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: answer is yes, I like their defensive line. I think

566
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: their defensive line should hold up quite well against a

567
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: conference that we know likes to pound it out on

568
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: the ground. And I think their schedule actually sets up

569
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: pretty well. They don't have to play Ohio State, Michigan

570
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: or Michigan State from the east. They do travel to

571
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Penn State, which will be a tough a tough game,

572
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: no doubt. In Antenne Plain State College that's the case.

573
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: But I think that works their favor. And I like

574
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: Nate Stanley a lot, and Nate Stanley had a really

575
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: quiet but very successful campaign, go to the extent where

576
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 1: now it doesn't feel like the quarterback position is at

577
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: all in jeopardy, is at all a question, and Iowa

578
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: might be able to get back to more of the

579
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: I guess identity philosophy that we came to know on

580
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: some of the better Iowa teams in the past, where

581
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: they could pound it out in the ground, but they

582
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: also were balanced enough that they could beat you on

583
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: a play action pass.

584
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: They had weapons to go deep.

585
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they got the weapons too. So I'm I'm

586
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: excited about Iowa football in twenty eighteen. And I know

587
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: that might be a bit of an oxymoron, Dan, because

588
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: Iowa football isn't all that sexy, But I liked what

589
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: I saw from them a year ago, and I think

590
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason to be optimistic. Twenty eight Team.

591
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: Kyle wants to know when will the new shirts slash

592
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: hats people want hats. Yeah, we just recently learned this.

593
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: When will they be available? We're recording this on May ninth.

594
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: Do we have a an acceptable answer? Do we have

595
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: a target date? Because we have not fully discussed this

596
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: off air, so let's just talk now. Do we think

597
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: we can do this by June first?

598
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: I think we can realistically expect that we're going to

599
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: have new offerings in place by to say it, mid

600
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: to late June, mid to late June.

601
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to June first, but yeah, it'll be

602
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: in the month of June. And I will say right now,

603
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: we have designs plural that we are very excited about.

604
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: We have products plural that we are very excited about,

605
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: both as it relates to the show and beyond the

606
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 2: show that I think people will appreciate and want to

607
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: be a part of. If you know, if you got

608
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: some cash laying around you want to support the show,

609
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: we'd be more than happy to outfit you in soft,

610
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: comfortable shirts and hats and other products.

611
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: I will tease by saying the following, Yeah, we have

612
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: had we have had a teasy right. We have had

613
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: a really good response to our solid verbal designs over

614
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: the last two two and a half years, and now

615
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: given that we have a good way to do it,

616
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be expanding upon that. So Designs Plural

617
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: is really our effort to expand a bit on the

618
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: merchandising front. There will be more than one T shirt.

619
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: This gentleman mentioned hats. There will be hats. We've got

620
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: some really exciting plans I think ahead of us here

621
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: in the early part of the offseason that can get

622
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: people more connected to the verbollerhood than ever before.

623
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Now that's my famous, my favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

624
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: There will be hats. There will That's right, there will

625
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: be hats. His second question is what single game are

626
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: each of you most excited about this season. I have

627
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: a list of like six, but I've picked one. Do

628
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: you have a game?

629
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm assuming your number one is Oregon versus UCLA on

630
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: November three.

631
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: No, well, this is he just asked about, you know,

632
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: any game. I'm going to say no Oregon games for

633
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: this question, the Notre Dame game.

634
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: Can I please say that mine is Oregon versus Ucla.

635
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Because of that, you can requisite anguish that I know

636
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: will take place on your side.

637
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: It's going to be running into an X. You guys

638
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: have both moved on. You guys are both thriving, but

639
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: at the same time we're like, what if?

640
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: What if?

641
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: So that's fair to say that's your answer.

642
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: Is that if I'm not gonna go Oregon or Ucla

643
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: out of spite, I probably say, and I know it's

644
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a tired answer here, but I am genuinely

645
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: curious about Michigan Ohio State this year in a way

646
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: that I feel I haven't been in previous years because

647
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: of the shape factor.

648
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: Okay, they have two new quarterbacks, technic.

649
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Excited to see which direction that one goes. I'm also

650
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: interested in Penn State Michigan for obvious reasons. But are

651
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: we not allowed to pick like headliner games here?

652
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: I have I have new matchups that we don't usually get.

653
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: What are your new matchups?

654
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: So my two or maybe two and a half, I

655
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: have Auburn Washington, which turns out Auburn is a place

656
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: in Washington September.

657
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: What second in Atlanta?

658
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's week one. I can leave in Atlanta.

659
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't think that's in Texas. That's They're are not

660
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 2: that many quarterbacks going into the Seas and we're like,

661
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: he is going to definitely be good, and this game

662
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: has two of them.

663
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: Auburn has a ridiculous schedule this year, by the way.

664
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: Yes they do. It's they very much do. But this

665
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: this is basically you get all summer of Gus Melson

666
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: Chris Peterson planning things. I love both of these teams defenses,

667
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: especially Washington's secondary. Jake Browning is excellent when healthy. They

668
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: you know, Miles Gaskin is one of the more underrated,

669
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: although if everybody is saying he's underrated, then at a

670
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 2: certain point he is the most properly rated underrated running

671
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: back in the country. But I like Washington a whole

672
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: bunch and everything. They return Auburn as well, that'll be

673
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: that'll be fun on a big, if not unfortunate stage.

674
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: That it's not, you know, a home and home in

675
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 2: Seattle and Auburn. So that's my other like, very short

676
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: answer is FAU Oklahoma Lincoln Riley. Yeah, offense points great.

677
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah, all right, where are we going next?

678
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: Next question? I don't like, we're just banging time. Let's

679
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: just go man Wednesday night, Rod just banging through. Right,

680
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: This is the juice question. The three best overall position

681
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: groups in the country. By the way, somebody did notice.

682
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Twitter or an email

683
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: or comments whatever. They're like typical Dan fashion. Somebody asks

684
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: for one, he gives four and a half. Somebody asks

685
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: for three, he gives five and a quarter. I just

686
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: like a lot of things.

687
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: Oh well, hold on back to this question here, Yes,

688
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: overall position groups. So is that then to ask, if

689
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: you take all of the wide receivers in the country,

690
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: is that the best position group in football? Are we

691
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: doing per conference, per team? What are we looking at here?

692
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: I think when he says overall, he means which position

693
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: groups on a national scope, so not necessarily, this is

694
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: a great year for receivers, which you know, which receivers

695
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: on a certain team are so good that they have

696
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: to be considered the best in the country at any position. Okay,

697
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 2: so like last year you could have said Oklahoma's offensive line.

698
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: Okay, this year you could say Clemson's defensive line. That's

699
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: exactly right, Clemson's defensive line, I think, I think that's right.

700
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: The most obvious answer here, right.

701
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I've got a few because I'm bad. Yeah,

702
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm a bad boy. I really like Michigan's defensive line

703
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: with Rashaun Garry, Aubrey Solomon, Chase Winovich, a ton of

704
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 2: experience and anger. I like Bama's running back corps. That's

705
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: too easy an answer, but sometimes you just got to

706
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: please the butt Bama people because they have Damien Harris

707
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: and naj Harris and Josh Jacobs. Here's the one that

708
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: I here's my deeper cut. I won't say it's a

709
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: deep cut because they're a major team in a major conference,

710
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: but West Virginia's wide receiver Corpsry Jennings, Marcus Simms, David Sills,

711
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: who how David Sills is still in college football in

712
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen remains a mystery.

713
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: Him and Ryan Finley are like I've olt on retirement benefits.

714
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: Ryan Finley may be our age and that's fine. But

715
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: West Virginia's wide receiver corps is great, and they have

716
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: a what could be a very very good situation at quarterback.

717
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: And Will Greer if he is able to come back

718
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: and stay healthy all year long. I think that is

719
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: That is my answer, at least for you know, the

720
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: non obvious Clemson defensive line, Washington secondary is right there,

721
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 2: Bama's linebacking corps is right there, but I really like

722
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 2: what Dana Holgerson has out wide.

723
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: All right, I'll go with that. Clemson's defensive line, to me,

724
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: I think is the most obvious answer. Can I can

725
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: I pose a question here?

726
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 2: Get in there, ty one that I saw.

727
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: I saw this question here from a gentleman named Anthony,

728
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: and it is a Notre Dame related question. I do apologize,

729
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: but I thought it was an interesting dilemma that he posed.

730
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: Since you're talking about Michigan, He says, does Notre Dame

731
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: have a better chance of beating Michigan the first game

732
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: of the year or USC the last game of the year.

733
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: Dan Okay, better chance, I see what he's alluding to,

734
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: A beating Michigan, better chance of beating USC. I sat

735
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: and I stroked my chin thinking about this for a

736
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: good fifteen minutes. Thank you.

737
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: You weren't expecting it, were you.

738
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: Thank you? I could tell that you were up to something.

739
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Normally you'd respond a little quicker. I think that I

740
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: am more worried about the Michigan game me first week

741
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: of the year than I would be USC last game

742
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: of the year for a number of reasons. I think

743
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: that because of Notre Dame replacing the left side of

744
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: their line again, losing two guys top ten of the draft,

745
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson mcglinchy both going pro. I think they lose

746
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: their top running back and josh Ada. We've got some

747
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: of their bigger play threats in Equinemias Saint Brown going pro,

748
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Stepherson getting booted off the team. With all of

749
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: that being said, even despite the fact that they should

750
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: have a really sound defense this coming season, I am

751
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about the first game of the year.

752
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: It all falling on the arm of brand new Wimbush,

753
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a recurring theme that you

754
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: hear from me on this show, not only in the

755
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: build up to the season, but perhaps throughout the first

756
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: couple weeks before he gets pulled. I am concerned about

757
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: that matchup in particular because Michigan's got the defense.

758
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the answer is probably Michigan. It's week one,

759
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: and there's less certainty after fall camp just what the

760
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: team is actually going to look like against a good

761
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: team right off the bat. That's why a lot of

762
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: coaches like to schedule down a little bit. That first

763
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: week of the season. USC is on the road, albeit

764
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: USC I think has the UCL game the week before,

765
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 2: so there's there's letdown potential there, just as we look

766
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: six months into the future. But yes, I think the

767
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: Week one factor the more proven quarterback situation for Michigan

768
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: at this point in shape Patterson. Then you know, if

769
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: it's JT. Daniels, eventually I'm going to take Michigan as well.

770
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: And I also think the defensive line for Michigan. You know,

771
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: the more I've thought about things, and this is definitely

772
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 2: not my theory, is just trying to appreciate as much

773
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: teams that have some sort of combination of good quarterback

774
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: play and a really good defense and defensive line in particular.

775
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 2: And the better your quarterback is, the worser defense has

776
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: to be, as we saw with Oklahoma last year, And

777
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: the better your your defense is, the not as talented

778
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: and productive your quarterback can be, as we've seen with

779
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: previous Alabama teams. But I'd like this Michigan defensive line

780
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: more than I like USC's defensive line. And I like

781
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: shape Patterson right now better than what USC will have.

782
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: So you're agreeing with me here essentially. All right, let

783
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: me ask you another question might be a little personal.

784
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm this is what I cherish. Have you looked lately

785
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: at your interest rate? I'm hearing a long pause here, Dan.

786
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you you don't have to wait any longer.

787
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk about well. As soon as you said interest rate,

788
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: I was like, oh God, there's gonna be math.

789
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Mathstream new sponsor and their credit card

Speaker 1: the verbal.

Speaker 2: I would consider and look up further information.

00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: Ty, yes, of course, as always, all right, anything financial?

818
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: Okay, absolutely, I will take this conversation to yo Wifey's

819
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: fave DJ.

820
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, Whoaha? Where are we on the dock? Here?

821
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: Follow the leader? Oh as an Oklahoma state fan? Okay, which,

822
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: by the way, this got me thinking about something else.

823
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 2: First of all, does your wife like DJs?

824
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Not particularly? I like, doesn't have anything against them as people, right, Like,

825
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: if you're a DJ, solidwise's okay with that. Okay, I'm

826
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: not gonna.

827
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: Judge you for doing that, but I don't a lot

828
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: of people wipe and sweat off their.

829
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: Brow, right. I think she would be more inclined to

830
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: find something else on the Spotify playlist than whoever she

831
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: would consider her favorite DJ.

832
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: My wife texted me this morning and she said people

833
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 2: at work are making fun of me because I've never

834
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 2: heard of Kaigo Hi who k ygo kaig?

835
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, I got are you

836
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: familiar with I'm familiar, but only vaguely.

837
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: Okay. I wasn't, And I was like, I we are

838
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 2: a good pair because our Chigo knowledge as a couple

839
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: does not exist. Apparently he is a Norwegian DJ who

840
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: is quite popular.

841
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, Yepkay.

842
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: As an aside, Yeah, now I'm an Oklahoma State fan

843
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 2: but also a Bengals fan. How should I feel about

844
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph and Junkyard Jim Washington going to Pittsburgh. I

845
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: just have a very simple thought about this, But the

846
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 2: floor is yours.

847
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: I really like Mason Rudolph as a pro prospect. We

848
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: had Taj Boyd on the show.

849
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: But he's asking about emotions.

850
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: Well, I'm getting to that, Dan, Okay. I we we

851
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: had talked to TODJ Boyd, and part of what we

852
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: edited out because he included so much good information was

853
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: actually how he felt about the upcoming quarterback class. And

854
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: he said in that interview that Mason Rudolph was his

855
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: favorite pro prospect at the quarterback right. Of all the

856
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: big names that you heard, Mason Rudolph was his favorite.

857
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: Ever since that moment, I took Mason Rudolph and his

858
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: NFL prospects a little bit more seriously, and I gotta say,

859
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit of confirmation bias. I don't know,

860
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: but I started to feel very similarly. So my long

861
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: answer here is, given the fact that big Ben is

862
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: clearly in the twilight of his career at this moment,

863
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: and at any single solitary moment in the NFL season,

864
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: he could go down with an unforeseen injury. I would

865
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: feel terrified as a Bengals fan to have Mason Rudolph

866
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: on the other side, because we know he can throw,

867
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: and Junkyard Jim Washington also going to Pittsburgh. Dan, Yep,

868
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: the hookup, the handcuff is there for potential fantasy team

869
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: owners three years down the road. I am really excited

870
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: about that possibility. As someone who lives in Pennsylvania and

871
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: on rare occasion roots for the Steelers, I would be

872
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: terrified as a Bengals fan. So all salient points, all

873
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: good points. I'm going to approach this question on how

874
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: should he feel about the two of them succeeding for

875
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: a team he doesn't like, Like I feel like he

876
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: is going to be mixed about this, And I will

877
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: say this, Mason Rudoff and James Washington, Junkyard Jim JUNKI

878
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: did not choose to go to Pittsburgh.

879
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 2: No, it's not like they said to themselves, where can

880
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: I cause the most damage in the NFL? And just

881
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: tear off the lid off this league. Pittsburgh, that's the answer.

882
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 2: I can't wait to beat up on Cincinnati. Who are

883
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: They're probably both from the Southwest if they went to

884
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. So I'm thinking as an Oklahoma State fan,

885
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: root for them to be excellent, Root for them to

886
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: make a ton of money. Root for them to stay healthy.

887
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't beat Pittsburgh, but they stay healthy. Root

888
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: for the Steelers mostly because you like rooting for them

889
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma State, I presume. And the better they are

890
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: in the NFL, the better indirectly it will be for.

891
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: Almost Oklahoma State in a positive.

892
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: Wade you the next Mason Rudolph, Look how we prepared

893
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: him for the NFL.

894
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: Another similar example here is Saquon Barkley. Because there are

895
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: a lot of Penn State fans who are also diehard

896
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, and when the Giants took Saquon with the

897
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: second overall pick, a lot of mixed emotions on this

898
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: side of the state.

899
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie he chose to go to Penn State,

900
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: he didn't choose to go to the Giants.

901
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Now, as a Penn State alum who has hated the

902
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, his entire life and strangely rooted for the Giants.

903
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: This could not have worked out any better for me personally,

904
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: but that's neither here nor Yeah.

905
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 2: Okay, where are we going next? Same guy Sikar wants

906
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: to know. Can y'all do a live show in Socow please?

907
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: Okay, dan Ah, what do we think in terms of

908
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: live shows? We've already spilled the beans on our plans

909
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: to do a Chicago live show at some point early

910
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: to mid August. Correct fantasy things draft. We're gonna blow

911
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: it out. It'll be all sorts of fun. We have,

912
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: according to our survey, a number of hotspots around the

913
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: country where people will be very excited, very motivated to

914
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: come and see a Sliverbal live show. One of those

915
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: is Washington, d C. Which we will get to m hm.

916
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: Another one of.

917
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 2: Those is the event on any city's social calendar, of course.

918
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: Another one of those live show is Texas. Somewhere in between.

919
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: It'll be Austin. It will be Austin. It's going to

920
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 2: be Austin, lied to the people.

921
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so Austin. But we had a lot of interest

922
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: from Houston, from from Dallas, the Fort Worth area, as

923
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: well as Austin, and then we had a bunch of

924
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: places out on the West coast. We had San Francisco

925
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: throw its name in the ring. We had La obviously,

926
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: La throwing its name in the ring. Seattle had a

927
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: pretty strong showing on our survey that we conducted about

928
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: a year ago.

929
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 2: We'll see you soon. Let's split the difference. What's up, Bakersfield?

930
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: The question here is can you all do a live

931
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: show in southern California? You're from this or dan? How

932
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: do you feel? I have this?

933
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 2: I would love to. Yeah, there would be nothing more

934
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: fun than to do a show for me in southern California.

935
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: I don't know where we would do it, somewhere Central,

936
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: Culver City or something, but yeah, hell yeah I would.

937
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 2: I would. That'd be a dream. I want to go

938
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: all those cities at Austin, whatever, DC, Chicago, but yeah,

939
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 2: southern California.

940
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: Would you would you do the following? First off, did

941
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: you have any enemies in high school?

942
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

943
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: Would you somehow try to get it back to that

944
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,479
Speaker 1: person that, Oh, by the way, I'm doing a live

945
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: show in your back.

946
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 2: I think fences have been mended.

947
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: We'll get where I'm at now.

948
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think who that would be specifically, Yeah,

949
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: I think so. I don't think I would reach out,

950
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: but I would. I would somehow try to make it publicly.

951
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 1: It's sort of like passive aggressively, like, Oh, Danny's coming

952
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: to town and he's doing a live show thing really cool.

953
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing a live college football podcast that a bakery

954
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: turns out. My life turned out better than yours. Yeah, okay,

955
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: you don't know how I do have an enemy.

956
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to do more live shows this year.

957
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: Can we stay with food because we asked for groceries questions?

958
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: I love this question so much, and I'm so disappointed

959
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: that we haven't delved deeper when we originally talked about

960
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: you advising, I believe it's meg More, Damn meg On.

961
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: You know where she should try to find love in

962
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 2: the real world. Robbie wants to know what sections of

963
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: the grocery store are the most prime for picking someone up? Wow,

964
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: and what are the signs that a man slash woman

965
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: is that there are the receptive to your attempts.

966
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: So we must add here that Robbie kind of addressed

967
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: this question to me.

968
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: Yes, told disclosure.

969
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: I've never actually done this.

970
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Come on.

971
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 1: I was shooting from the hip when I answered the question.

972
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: I thought it might be a good idea. Now, in fairness,

973
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: it didn't have legs initially, but then after the show

974
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: was released, even you came around on that, you said

975
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 1: it was a sneaky good answer.

976
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: It's not a bad answer. It's just so tricky. It's

977
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: basically likeicky.

978
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's a good answer. I stand by that

979
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: answer wholeheartedly.

980
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: You know, in action movies where there is a very

981
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: select team and they're tasked with an extraction, whether if

982
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: it's like an antiquity or if it's they're rescuing a

983
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 2: kidnapping victim, where they're like, here's the blueprint, here's the plan,

984
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: here's if things go wrong, the exit strategy. It is

985
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: such a specific thing, and you don't have you know,

986
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: you won't have control of the objects of your potential desire, right,

987
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: and so your plan both where and how and why

988
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: and when and frankly tie from what angle. Approach from

989
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 2: the left side, make sure there's no ring, don't waste

990
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 2: your time and shame. Approach from the left side. And

991
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: I do think it's aware and how so, I don't

992
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 2: know how much thought you've given this decidedly, not single person,

993
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 2: but I not single person have given it. Okay, okay,

994
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 2: these are my let's start with your don'ts Okay, I

995
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: say avoid cereal, Avoid crackers. Why because they don't elicit anything.

996
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: Because they're cereal and crackers.

997
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: That's why.

998
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: Right.

999
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: It's just sort of like, oh, we're out of corn flakes,

1000
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 2: we're out of you know, lucky charms, we're out of

1001
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 2: frosted flakes, we're out of you know, grape nuts. That

1002
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 2: doesn't do anything for the synapses in your brain. Same

1003
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 2: with wheat thins, triskets, whatever, soda, crackers. I would stay

1004
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 2: away from the meat slash butcher now hold on, oh ty.

1005
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: George Costanzas said that pastrami is the most sensual of

1006
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: the cured.

1007
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 2: But that's when you've already sealed the deal. Okay, that's

1008
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: a complimentary meat. There is nothing sexy or at least,

1009
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: you know, riveting in some sort of social way about

1010
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: chicken thighs, raw meat, ross.

1011
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: Brown, Salmonella E coli. I'm with you, it is with

1012
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: you on this.

1013
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it is not a visual that you want to

1014
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: associate with new love. Sorry, that's me.

1015
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean maybe that's your thing, but I tend to

1016
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: agree you can't assume. Yeah.

1017
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: I would also say bread is sort of a no

1018
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,479
Speaker 2: fly zone. That's just like, are we out of bread?

1019
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh?

1020
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: I guess I should get more read. How many grains

1021
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 2: is too many grains? What? It's just it is a boring,

1022
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: non sexy part of a grocery store.

1023
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: Okay, I think now that's actually in agreement so far.

1024
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: Here Okay, here's where I would focus. Yeah, because you

1025
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: want conversation starters. You want somebody's the synapses once again

1026
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: to be tingling in a positive way. I would say

1027
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: frozen food is dicey because nobody really spends a ton

1028
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: of time there. It's an in and out kind of thing.

1029
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: Like and also desserts great, yes, converse station starter. What's

1030
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: your favorite flavor of this? Have you ever if you

1031
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 2: see that they have a new flavor of this? Have

1032
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: you tried this kind of bar or whatever? Great desserts

1033
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: are exciting, tie, It's it's sort of like the what

1034
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 2: do you say at the end of a meal, Like

1035
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: when you're trying to decide if you're going to order

1036
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: dessert or not. I shouldn't, but I want it. I shouldn't,

1037
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: but I want it.

1038
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: Here's the sort of here's the thing about that aisle

1039
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, you've got a lot of machinery with

1040
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: the freezers. Little buzz, little buzz not always the clearest

1041
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: conversation takes, but little breeze ryle. Yeah, it's cold. People

1042
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: are uncomfortable. Yeah, they're looking to get out of there

1043
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. Get what you want. It's a

1044
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: search and destroy mission. It's not a great place to

1045
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: just hang around and start a conversation with the stranger.

1046
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: So I agree.

1047
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: It's it's it's got to be dessert area, not frozen

1048
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 2: French bread pizza area. It's high risk, high reward because

1049
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 2: it's either exciting and titillating or it's sad and solo.

1050
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: I agree.

1051
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 2: I will say your your bakery great smells. A lot

1052
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 2: of the time it's oh, I'm getting cupcakes for a friend. Ooh,

1053
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 2: I'm feel like something sweet and naughty. Tie get that

1054
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 2: bakery gone.

1055
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: Okay, bakery is not a bad answer.

1056
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: Busy deli people waiting around with their number.

1057
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: Oh, so they can't.

1058
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: They're not in the middle of buying something or looking

1059
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: at a nutrition label at a.

1060
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: Little impatient and maybe more receptive to common chit chat.

1061
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: You know what I would do, tie this is me,

1062
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 2: and it would almost assuredly fail. I would walk up

1063
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: to somebody waiting there looking like they were in a

1064
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: pretty good mood, and I would say, let me guess

1065
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: pepper jack and see where that's a Seinfeld move, right

1066
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 2: there is? That's one percent, Yeah, Seinfeld move. Produce isn't

1067
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: bad because you can say, like, how do you actually

1068
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: know if avocados are ripe? There's entry points. Pet food

1069
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: is good because you can talk about pets. What if

1070
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 2: you don't have a pet, well, then you should not

1071
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: go to the pet food. Okay, but it's the old like, oh,

1072
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: you have a gold Nu strip bar, gold Rehiver. You

1073
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 2: ever go to this park? We should go.

1074
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: Okay, it's tough.

1075
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it's easy, but I'm just telling

1076
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 2: you that's an option. And my final one would just

1077
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 2: be whatever you consider your brand strengths to be. If

1078
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: you have lots of what you considered to be fun, clever,

1079
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 2: witty thoughts about hummus, spend some time in the hummics area.

1080
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: See Dan, I think you missed the boat on this.

1081
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 2: What did I miss all the.

1082
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: Years we've been doing this show. Usually you have a

1083
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: very creative answer that I haven't, that I haven't thought

1084
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: through that I don't think I can go toe to

1085
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: toe with. I think I have the answer here.

1086
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 2: What is it?

1087
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: We're two gentlemen who like to cook. What is your

1088
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: go to recipe? What would you cook for somebody if

1089
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: you were taking them, you know, on a date.

1090
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: They were coming over, if they were coming them dinner.

1091
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm thinking maybe you've got an Italian dish,

1092
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: maybe you've got some other kind of dish that you're

1093
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 1: very proud of. Why not hang around lurk?

1094
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:00,959
Speaker 2: Not not.

1095
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: Just hang out? Go casually in the Italian section, you know,

1096
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: talk about some some spaghetti sauce, talk about use that

1097
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: as like your entry point to talk about Yeah, I

1098
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: use this in my spaghetti sauce and it's really good.

1099
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: Try to build on that and see where you go.

1100
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: I think that's too ordinary. Not that Italian food is ordinary,

1101
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 2: but I think the idea of cooking pasta is like, oh,

1102
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't have anything else left, but I have these

1103
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: like shells and marinarias. I'm just fine.

1104
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: Kind of along the same lines as your pet food commentary. Right,

1105
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: see if you can spin that off into like a

1106
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: future engagement, not literal engagement. But you know what I mean.

1107
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: I know I'm thinking along the same lines, but just

1108
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: in a more human sense.

1109
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: Dan, what do your cross we jars? Don't? It doesn't

1110
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: get me worked up? Ty?

1111
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: What do you do well? And can you spin that

1112
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: off into something okay down the road?

1113
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it if you have lots of clever

1114
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: thoughts about dried pasta and jard Marin AA sauce. If

1115
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 2: you do, that's fine. But I think it's a It's

1116
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 2: tough because I don't think a lot of people do

1117
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 2: my spaghetti sauce about it? With starting out there, how

1118
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 2: Kate ever landed on you, I will never know.

1119
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: Where are we going? Next? Good question, Robbie, thank.

1120
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: You, amazing question. Let's go to I like this question

1121
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: a lot. It's from chance. I can't all these questions.

1122
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 2: It's a really great name. I love that it is

1123
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 2: a good name. As athletic departments continue to invest in

1124
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 2: graphic design and video production, how much do you think

1125
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: that the quality of a team's media affects the perception

1126
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: of the program to recruits media members? And fans. How

1127
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 2: much do you think it enhances the fan experience? And

1128
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: what I think he means by this, and maybe I'm

1129
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 2: totally off base graphic design is you know a lot

1130
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 2: of the materials they'll send to kids in the mail,

1131
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: but also you see what's called like I feel so old,

1132
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 2: what the kids are calling edits on Twitter, where the

1133
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: schools will send kids these illustrated versions of themselves wearing

1134
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 2: a team's uniform with like cool backgrounds and like cool

1135
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 2: splashy graphics to help kids picture themselves in that whatever

1136
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 2: it is, UCLA, Clemson, Texas, Minnesota lifestyle.

1137
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: Right, So, Dan, wouldn't this be essentially chances question? Here

1138
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: a more superficial application of what we saw go on

1139
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: at Oregon over the sort of decade and a half.

1140
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 2: I think it's under the same umbrella.

1141
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it all kind of classifies. Oregon was

1142
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: able to rebrand itself essentially, or brand itself for the

1143
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: first time as the coolest program in college football, and

1144
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: that paid dividends. It continues to pay dividends. Oregon built

1145
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: itself up now into one of the top fifteen college

1146
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: football institutions in America. I think anything that you can

1147
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: do to enhance the packaging of your program is usually

1148
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: a net positive. So whether that's graphics on Twitter or

1149
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: cool video production tricks that you can get an intern

1150
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: to pull off, I think all of that helps. I'm

1151
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: big on package.

1152
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 2: These schools have full on vlogs now.

1153
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 1: I know. I'm big on how that packaging can help

1154
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: can help elevate the brand of your program. And so

1155
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to sound too much like Darren Ravel here,

1156
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: but I do think branding goes a long way, and

1157
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: it can certainly enhance the way that your program is

1158
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: viewed by potential prospects. That's what it really comes down to.

1159
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much it truly enhances the fan

1160
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: experience other than indirectly. If you get better players to

1161
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: come to your program and you start winning, then it's

1162
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: clearly a better fan experience.

1163
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: I think it's incredibly savvy to be to invest in

1164
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, and I don't think it's for

1165
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: like Darren Ravel reasons. I think it's for like the

1166
01:00:54,680 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: most basic human reasons of when you were this is

1167
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 2: not that personal, even though it involves your personal life.

1168
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 2: When you were dating Kate and things got more and

1169
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: more serious, and you were just thinking whatever about the

1170
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 2: relationship and where it was going. Essentially what you're doing,

1171
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: and this is what I did. I'm not going to

1172
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,439
Speaker 2: put this on you. Is you think to yourself, could

1173
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: I picture myself with this person for the rest of

1174
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 2: my life? Right for a long time? And that's not

1175
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 2: true of college football. It's not the rest of your life.

1176
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: But it's the act of picturing yourself and a major

1177
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: life decision. And these are means by which schools can

1178
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 2: say you don't need to just do this in your head.

1179
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: We can show you what you're going to look like

1180
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown in a Clemson uniform. Or even though

1181
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 2: you live in Georgia, we at Ohio State are recruiting you.

1182
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: And we have this weekly vlog where you see what

1183
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,959
Speaker 2: it's like to be a player in the weight room,

1184
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 2: in the dorms, playing video games at practice. You see

1185
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 2: what the coaches are like, you see what the support

1186
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 2: staff are like, things that you might not fully be

1187
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: able to experience during your unofficial or official visit, but

1188
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: you get a sense for oh, this is how I

1189
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: can picture myself in Columbus as a contributor to Ohio State.

1190
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 2: And it's a way for the schools to do it

1191
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: without spending basically anything just in the grand scheme of things,

1192
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 2: but caring about production value and graphic design and helping

1193
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: to plant seeds. Like if Jody with and I or Kate,

1194
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 2: you know, had the opportunity to say, here's a video

1195
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 2: of what it's going like, all of the good times

1196
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 2: that lay ahead of you and be like, oh cool, sweet,

1197
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 2: we're going to a lake house. Do yeah, they would have.

1198
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: I think this is a it's a very savvy way

1199
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 2: to sort of not just say things, but show things,

1200
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 2: proof of concept.

1201
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: To a man and woman, but to a person, to

1202
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: a college football fan. Most people that I've kind of

1203
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: informed on this matter talk to them about the infrastructure

1204
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: that takes place, that goes on, that is in place

1205
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, that takes care of this sort of thing.

1206
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: People are always a gas by it. They always sort

1207
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: of roll their eyes, like, oh my god, it's ridiculous.

1208
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: The longer you think about it, the more it makes

1209
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: sense though, and to your point, the more savvy it becomes.

1210
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: I think it's incredibly savvy. I think branding and packaging

1211
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff that we grow to hate it

1212
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: is important and whether it's college football or buying stuff

1213
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: at the store. It definitely plays a factor.

1214
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 2: And obviously schools are showing kids what they want to

1215
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 2: show them. They're not showing them any ugly side of

1216
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 2: anything or anything realistic necessarily. But if Ohio State is

1217
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 2: showing the kid from Georgia, this is the entirety of

1218
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 2: the Ohio State experience in as much as we can

1219
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: put into a weekly vlog. And then I don't know,

1220
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 2: Purdue is saying trust us Purdue and were great. You're

1221
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 2: going to say I have a much better concept for

1222
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Even if I visit wes Lafayette, even if

1223
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 2: I visit you know wherever, if Syracuse or cal if

1224
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 2: a school is going above and beyond to try and

1225
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 2: help you picture what your life would be like at

1226
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: that place. I think it's going to be a significant

1227
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 2: difference maker.

1228
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: All Right, Dan, we got time for like, let's say three.

1229
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 2: More, let's bang time three more. Where we going these questions?

1230
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to have we done a lot out we have?

1231
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 2: We had a couple Willy Tagger questions. Let's go to

1232
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Matt Brown not one of at least the two Matt

1233
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Brown's working in college football media, okay, but a separate

1234
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: Matt Brown, Jeff Robin Perdue need to do what to

1235
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 2: consider this year a success? The schedule looks light to

1236
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 2: start the year, which maybe, but this is a Purdue

1237
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 2: team that loses a bunch, especially upfront on defense. What

1238
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 2: do you what do you think is success in a

1239
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: year in which Purdue does not return a significant number

1240
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: of players on defense like Nick Holet did inherit last year,

1241
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator for the Boilers.

1242
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: They finished strong last year, didn't they?

1243
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 2: They did?

1244
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: They finished strong last year and we had a lot

1245
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: of fun in this program talking about the singularity.

1246
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

1247
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: You remember that they've got to build their defensive front seven.

1248
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: They lose a lot on the defense.

1249
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 2: That was the strength of that team.

1250
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: That was the strength of the team. So I think

1251
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: to some degree success will be measured by how well

1252
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: the defense performs. If they get run over by the competition,

1253
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue. But they got to

1254
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: find some way to rebuild in a hurry and keep

1255
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: themselves respectable on offense. And it's not just front seven,

1256
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: like they got issues at cornerback too. It's sort of

1257
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: a defensive shit show. If I can curse a little

1258
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: bit sorry season. Yeah, so I think that will be

1259
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: the most obvious point where Jeff Brown's gonna have to

1260
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: make some, you know, some magic. Beyond that, though, I

1261
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: would hope that they can continue to take a step

1262
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: forward on offense, because it feels to me like the

1263
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: quarterback position did get a little bit more consistent throughout

1264
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the course of the season, and that's something that we

1265
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: hadn't seen at Perdue in quite some time. So I

1266
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: would say, just on a very very basic level, build

1267
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: the defense to a point where it's not going to

1268
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: get blown away every time they step out on the field.

1269
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: They can keep the games close and keep the offense

1270
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: at the same level, or maybe take the offense a

1271
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,439
Speaker 1: step further into the future here and get a little

1272
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: bit more production. I'm not looking for Purdue to go

1273
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: like eight and four this season. I'm just looking to

1274
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: know Purdue to achieve a level of consistency that we

1275
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: hadn't seen prior to brom getting there.

1276
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 2: If p Due makes the ball game, it's a successful year. Totally,

1277
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 2: it's a totally successful year. The problem is if Purdue

1278
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 2: does win eight games again or gets to eight games.

1279
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: He's gone.

1280
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Well, he's in West Lafayette.

1281
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: He's gone.

1282
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: I mean there was, there were conversations last year, and

1283
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 2: he's too good for his own good or for West

1284
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: Lafayette's own good. But yes, I would be for as

1285
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 2: long as he's there, I would be optimistic that he

1286
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 2: has done a good job marrying a lot of pro

1287
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: passing concepts with understandable looks for eighteen and nineteen year olds,

1288
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 2: and has thus far done a very good job defensively,

1289
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 2: bringing Nicolet with him and taking advantage of returning experience talent.

1290
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Next question, Ryan odds that Georgia can overtake Alabama as

1291
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: the pre eminent WOW college football program in the nation

1292
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 2: during Nick Saban's ten year. I would say, I mean,

1293
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: we don't have to spend a lot of time on this.

1294
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Nick Saban has done what no coach has ever done

1295
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 2: at Alabama. So I'm gonna put.

1296
01:07:58,840 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: One up debt.

1297
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 2: I to put it on a percentage basis, I would

1298
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 2: say less than one percent. And who in the Big

1299
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Ten West poses the greatest threat to Wisconsin over the

1300
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: course of the next five years? And why is it

1301
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 2: Purdue slash Minnesota and not Nebraska.

1302
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it is Perdue or Minnesota, Dan.

1303
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 2: Okay, I have a very convoluted answer. No, it's the

1304
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: answer is Scott Frost wins the Big Ten in year

1305
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 2: two and takes the job with whoever in the NFL,

1306
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 2: and Purdue recruits well and manages to keep Jeff Brahm,

1307
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 2: and Minnesota recruits well and manages to keep PJ. Fleck,

1308
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 2: and they're able to find diamonds in the rough quarterback,

1309
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 2: and Nebraska has to hire Ba Polini back. I don't know,

1310
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: but then then Nebraska's a threat. Yeah, Bo Polini was

1311
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: totally decent in Nebraska, but that would be a mess.

1312
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 2: I would. I would basically say, if it's not Nebraska,

1313
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 2: it's because Scott Frost has succeeded, has even overwhelmed the

1314
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 2: expectations that have been put on him.

1315
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Keep your keys, your eye on the Big Ten West

1316
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: this year.

1317
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be better and fun.

1318
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: It's gonna be better, It's going to be sneaky good

1319
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: sneaky entertaining to watch. Anyway, let's leave it at that.

1320
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 2: What questions intrigue you? You want to go to lemons Est,

1321
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 2: We can go to lemons Es, Dan, Do you want

1322
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: to go to We've got a lot of good questions

1323
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 2: here we did. Oh, I know what you want to go?

1324
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Do you want to go to Gilgamesh?

1325
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: Gilgamesh? Yeah? I do?

1326
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Okay? Will you guys pick a team to follow in

1327
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: the Japanese X League. A Sahi Soft Drink Challenger sounds

1328
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,480
Speaker 2: awesome or the Licksil Deers.

1329
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1330
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 2: So, I will admit ty, I did not know what

1331
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 2: the Japanese X League was.

1332
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Did you look it up?

1333
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 2: I did look it up.

1334
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: According to Wikipedia, the X League is the top level

1335
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: American football league in Japan. Founded in nineteen seventy one

1336
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 1: as the japan American Football League, it changed its name

1337
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: to the X League in nineteen ninety seven. Here's what

1338
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: you need to know. There are three divisions in X one,

1339
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: an X two, and an X three, which, as college

1340
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: football fans, that kind of sounds familiar, right m M.

1341
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: Teams in the three tier league are split into East

1342
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: and West and Central divisions. Two types of teams, one

1343
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: being a company team in which only employees of that

1344
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: particular sponsoring company may participate as a player, and the

1345
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: other classified as a club team for which anyone can

1346
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: try out. So it's part college football, part intramural football

1347
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: and part just like open club in the city football. Dan.

1348
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 2: So, when I saw that this was a mix of

1349
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 2: different types of players in Japan playing American football and

1350
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: was called X, I was really hoping it was a

1351
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: play on the word ex And I was really hoping

1352
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 2: that it was only open to former college football players

1353
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 2: who were not good enough as essentially or had flamed

1354
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 2: out or decided to start a comeback at an older age.

1355
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 2: And it was those players playing with Japanese players, Japanese

1356
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: college aged players. So I was hoping for Nate longshore

1357
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: Lyle moy Vow, Austin Arnad, Ryan Lindley. It has to

1358
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 2: be doing something, Dan Lafever, Jevin Snead.

1359
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,480
Speaker 1: There is very much a Homer at the bat slash

1360
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: Springfield Nuclear power Plant element to this that I love.

1361
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: They also have relegation and promotion, which is a famous

1362
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: concept here among US college football nerds as to ways

1363
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: they could improve college football. I love everything about this,

1364
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: So I feel like we need to pick a team now.

1365
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: I am still not clear after reading up on it

1366
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: for a good chunk of my afternoon, which are the

1367
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: best teams in this league and which are not the

1368
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: best teams, but I'm thinking that the ones associated with

1369
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: individual companies are probably the more exciting variety. Okay, like

1370
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 1: the Tokyo Gas Creators. I don't know what that means,

1371
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,919
Speaker 1: and I don't know if Tokyo Gas is like a company,

1372
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: but a team named the Gas Creators is pretty damn

1373
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: funny to me. I can relate, ty, we all can, right, Yeah,

1374
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: so the Tokyo Gas Creators is up there in my book.

1375
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 2: So you have IBM Big Blue, obviously, the Chess Master, right,

1376
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,839
Speaker 2: you have as or as one Black Eagles.

1377
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 1: I like this one. I'm thinking Gladiator. I'm thinking Russell

1378
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Crowe yelling as one.

1379
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:55,679
Speaker 2: The Nojima Saga, Mihara Rise, Okay, the All Mitsubishi Lions,

1380
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 2: one of my favorites. Bowls just called bulls Bowls, the

1381
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 2: lakom Kobe Finney's. Yeah, okay, there's the Panasonic impulse. We've

1382
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 2: all had that.

1383
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: What about Club Hawkeye.

1384
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 2: Club Hawkeye is pretty good, It is pretty good. They

1385
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 2: they're head coaches, Nozomu Nishimura, and so obviously that's a

1386
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 2: loaded conversation we'd have to have if we support it,

1387
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 2: if we became Club Hawkeye supporters. But this it mostly

1388
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 2: was just useful for me because I got to remember, like,

1389
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 2: there's a seventy one percent chance that Cody Hawkins is

1390
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 2: in this league, right, he almost assuredly. Cody Hawkins and

1391
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 2: John Parker Wilson are like the Big Ben and Aaron

1392
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 2: Rodgers and Tom Radio this.

1393
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: So does this mean that if you want to play

1394
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: in this league the company Mitsubishi has to hire like

1395
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Nate Longshore.

1396
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 2: Yes, he has to work for them, and like the offseason.

1397
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Just tremendous, by the way, breaking news, Blake Barnett has

1398
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: just transferred to the Asahi Soft Drink Challengers.

1399
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 2: I think it's a great fit.

1400
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Ty Oh my god, this is I think it's I think.

1401
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 2: I mean he'll he'll be in a battle with Riley

1402
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Skinner Chandler Harnish might have something to say about his prospects,

1403
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 2: and don't count out Tyson Lee, Hi, dark Horse.

1404
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: I need to know more about this league. I really

1405
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: need to know more about this league. We do have

1406
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: listeners that are in Japan who I'm sure are aware

1407
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,879
Speaker 1: of this, so please email in more details in Layman's

1408
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: terms so we can understand exactly what's going on here.

1409
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: But right now, right now, I think the as one.

1410
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: Black Eagles are the.

1411
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 2: Black Eels are. That's a strong name. Can we close

1412
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 2: out with a very quick question, yes, please tie this

1413
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 2: from Josh? How do you feel about Lacroix as a beverage?

1414
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: I have one in front of me. What? I literally

1415
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: have one in front of me.

1416
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 2: What flavor?

1417
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Lime?

1418
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 2: And just you go straight up? Is it cold?

1419
01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: Is it in a glass with ice cold? I'm drinking

1420
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: it straight out of can dan because I'm a brute.

1421
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 2: How many cases of Lacroix do you keep on hand?

1422
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Why would somebody ask this question?

1423
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 2: I don't personally love Lacroix. I think it might be

1424
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 2: a heated sort of opinion that people have.

1425
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: So here here is the genesis of me with Lacroix.

1426
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: I have been to family gatherings where they've either had

1427
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Lacroix or there's like another brand, Bubbly basically the same thing. Okay,

1428
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: And I was at Wegmans the other day looking to

1429
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: get some drinks in the house, saw Lacroix was on

1430
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: sale and decided I'd pick him up because we just

1431
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: recently had it at a family gathering. And since we

1432
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: picked it up now the solid wife said, hey, that's

1433
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, looked at it. No, no calories, sodium free,

1434
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: no artificial sweeteners. That's what they tell you. That may

1435
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: or may not be true. But hey, that's not bad.

1436
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we should get more of that. So Ever, since

1437
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: we live right next to Wegmans, we don't have a

1438
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: palette of it on hand, but at least recently we've

1439
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: been keeping Lacroix in the house in the fridge. I'm

1440
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:07,839
Speaker 1: drinking a cold out of the can.

1441
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 2: Okay, I just it's for whatever reason, don't care for it.

1442
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 2: Drink it at a like a cookout once or a

1443
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 2: barbecue for you people who speak English. It just made

1444
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: me thirsty, or I'd rather just have water.

1445
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 1: I will say, if you're expecting something sweetened when you

1446
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: drink your Lacroix, I think you're more inclined to have

1447
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: a negative impression of what it is, because then it

1448
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: just sort of shocks you, like, oh, this is the

1449
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: worst sod ever.

1450
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,879
Speaker 2: Do you know about our pal Stephen Godfree's invention, his invention,

1451
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 2: his invention. No with Lacroix. Oh you're not really a

1452
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 2: coffee drinker, But apparently to Lacroix enthusiasts, mixing a cold

1453
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 2: brew and I don't know the ratio. Mixing a cold

1454
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 2: brew coffee, so essentially a more dense iced coffee with

1455
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 2: coconut flavored Lacroix can be quite refreshing, and he calls

1456
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 2: it a pensacola.

1457
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, he was a creative and dapper gentleman, Stephen Gostrol.

1458
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: So on this topic, it has been a while, and

1459
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: if you're listening about an hour and fifteen minutes into

1460
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: this monstrosity, maybe you'd also be interested in a Lacroix

1461
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:23,520
Speaker 1: related secret.

1462
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 2: Verbal Oh okay, So first of all, how do you

1463
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:28,520
Speaker 2: spell Lacroix.

1464
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: You spell Lacroix capital la space capital c r o

1465
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: i x Lacroix, Lacroix as a French say, mm hmm.

1466
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: We need a secret verbal subject, Daniel.

1467
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 2: So that the subject will be Lacroix, and some kind

1468
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 2: of like is it true that you're creating your own

1469
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 2: flavor in the lap of Lacroix, Like how how did

1470
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 2: you get involved with the Lacroix people? You know, what

1471
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,719
Speaker 2: are your early impressions of what you ever your flavor

1472
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 2: is going to be?

1473
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: Anything Lacroix related for that matter.

1474
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything, I think Lacroix create flavor, creation, but yes, okay,

1475
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 2: I can go. I think it needs I think it

1476
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 2: needs to be specific, because then it'll make it seem

1477
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: like there is this very specific rumor about me creating

1478
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,600
Speaker 2: a beverage for this beverage company, and it's not true.

1479
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: We need a target that we haven't previously secret verbaled.

1480
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, I'm looking, I'm scrolling through. Ty I've got it. Okay.
