<v Speaker 1>as always my good friend. He wasn't with us last week.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Dan Rubinstein, sir, how.

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you back from the dead. I'm great, Ty, thanks

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.319
<v Speaker 2>for asking it. I was in Where was I last week?

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I was in Charlotte Shore. Yeah. I don't think I

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>can talk about why I was in Charlotte yet. It

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 2>was really fun and mysterious but fun. And then I

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>went to Nashville, which was not fully planned, but Jody

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>with and I had a work trip to Nashville and

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I was like, great, I'll be in Charlotte. I'll meet

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you there and she said great, and so I booked

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>a flight and then forty eight hours later, her work

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, no, we don't need you in Nashville anymore.

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>And I called up American Airlines and they said, cool,

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be slightly more expensive to cancel your flight.

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Than to just go. I was like, cool, so I

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>went to went to Nashville.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I went to Nashville, anyway, did you do anything cool

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville. I've heard good things about Nashville.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a great town. I ate and I walked around

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>a ton. I walked like ten miles according to my phone.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which great.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I went to three different overpriced coffee places and got

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 2>crazy caffeinated.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I went to Husk for lunch with our pal Travis Haney. Yeah,

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that's cool. He's doing really well. Good sa our pal

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Godfrey Nashville residence.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 1>So this is like the Dan Rubinstein Goodwill Tour now

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 1>that you're sort of out there and trying to promote

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>promote your fine services. The good will it was.

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>It was a whistle stop ty. Is that what Truman did?

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that what they're called? Uh? Yeah, so this is

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 2>great in the past couple of months.

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, Well, thanks to everyone for tuning in.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Dan and I are back in US. We've decided to

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>call this show. Actually I made the call earlier today

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>on g chat to call this show Wednesday night raw.

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>That's true, which, of course implies some sort of a

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>controversial show programming this evening.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Would you say, ty that we are going to go

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>we're going raw and we're going to go deep on

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>topics without the protection of editing.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I would not go that far, but okay with say sure,

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't go that raw with the labeling of the show.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 2>But are we not going deep on topics without the

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>protection of editing?

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>That is correct, Dan, There will be no editing this

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>on this ba mak if we screw up, if we

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>make any mistakes whatsoever. It seemed to resonate quite well

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>when you did it a couple of weeks ago with

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>your interview with Bruce, when you said We're not gonna

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>do any editing. I'm not gonna cut anything out. No,

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be us raw, unfiltered. So we're

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it here on the show. We're going to

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>prove to one and all that we can do it

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>on the solid and we are going to prove it

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>in the most difficult way possible because before us, we

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>have a giant Google doc that you compiled. I didn't

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>see how many pages this ended up being. Looks like

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>about ten here.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that this is down from about nineteen or twenty.

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>We got a ton like we just only asked today

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>and we got probably five times more questions than we could.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's it was like a verballer repression

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>of some sort that we just vented. And now we

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>got all these questions that came in about college football

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and grocery stores and god, you name it, in addition

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to a few news topics that we want to discuss

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>at the top. We've got more than enough to cover here.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's going to be you and I shooting from

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the hip for most of it.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to go. We have questions about big teams,

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>medium teams, little teams. I asked for questions about grocery

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>shopping and clothing and I don't even remember what else.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I think it tickles a part of

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>people's brains. It doesn't always get tickled listening to sports podcasts, hopefully,

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe it does.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It does tickle the inners again. We're at Solidverbal at

<v Speaker 1>is also there. We're a college football show. We broadcast

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>year round once a week in the off season, which,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>of course is where we're at now. So let me

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>start here, Daniel, please, before we get into the questions,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>there is a topic that you and I decided to

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>chat about online today and I they're always yeah. I

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like we need to bubble this a little bit

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>to the surface of the verboler hood. Here. I read

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>in my normal course of college football reading and study

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and research and what have you here in the off

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>season that by the name of Blake Barnett. Do you

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>remember Blake Barnett.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Corona, California's own sort of deep into Orange County.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Didn't he win the Elite eleven way back when maybe

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he won the Elite eleven. If

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.359
<v Speaker 1>he didn't win it, he was in the finals of

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the Elite eleven. Blake Barnett, noted five star quarterback prospect

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>at one point I think was going to go to

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame, then decided he wanted to go to Alabama instead,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>started his college football career at Alabama. Well, clearly it

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit clogged in terms of the depth chart, YEP.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>At the quarterback position at Alabama, Blake Barnett decides he's

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>going to transfer to Arizona State.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Makes sense.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Blake Barnett has now decided that he's going to transfer

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>away from Arizona State, and if reports are to be believed,

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>he's going to go to USF.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he'll have also kind of makes sense.

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It does make sense. Blakenett, Dan, for those keeping score

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>at home, has twenty four career pass attempts, two career

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes at the major college level, and now two transfers.

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Two trans technically more than that. I think he has

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>been at a JC for a little while, so technically

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>more college enrollments than touchdown passes.

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 1>So then we got fun and we got the thinking.

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Is this a Blake Barnett thing? Is this a California

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>slash San Diego area quarterback thing? Dan?

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean Orange County is slightly north of San Diego.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Corona's I think it's by Irvine. I had thought for

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a long time Blake Barnett was from San Diego, but

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I was mistaken. But yeah, Tate for Cia with his three, four,

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>five different, Oh though he was another one right, he's

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>from the San Diego area. There is something definitely strange

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>and varied about top blue chip high school recruits from

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>San Diego. Either they are amazing, Ricky Williams from San Diego,

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Marshall Fox, Royce Freeman, the running back history is amazing.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Brennan Clay went to Oklahoma and he had like a

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>weird DeMarco Murray situation with accusations of infidelity with his wife.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Like it got very strange. So there is something. And

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I started looking up blue chip California quarterbacks and it's

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 2>just I mean, this year we'll have Ricky Town who

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you remember from such schools as Alabama, USC Arkansas, a

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>junior college and now might be the only quarterback on

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the roster at pitt after seventeen guys left the pit

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterback depth chart after last year. So there definitely is

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>something strange. Like we found one guy who there's a

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>couple transfers to the IVY League, at which point they

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 2>either switch positions or burnt out at the IVY League level.

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just if you start pulling threads on like the

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, we could look at maybe the last

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>ten years since Saliver became a show of blue chip

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>California quarterbacks. There's a lot of stories out there.

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of stories, and if you pull

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>on the threads, perhaps, I mean, it's so interesting. Perhaps

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>we should focus our attention at some point, not on

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the coaching carousel, but the California quarterback carousel.

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Can I make an A plus transition?

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Go for it.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>This was all in the context of talking about grad transfers, right,

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and we were talking about Blake Barnett and transferring another

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>guy California didn't work out, transferring away Keller christ Tennessee.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, this isn't recent, mind you, Right, we just

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't been talking about grad transfers, and there have been

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>many of them.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna it's it's a thing, and it's a

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a California quarterback thing. They cannot be monogabous with

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>their first their first signing for some odds.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>So what is interesting to me in terms of the

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>national scope of college football too, is you know, there

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>was there's the big Alabama situation, which is now it's

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>sort of double prong because the ECU quarterback Gardner Minshew

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>was going going to Alabama and now he's going to Wazoo,

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>so he's coming west. Jalen Hurts. His dad was talking

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 2>about how Jalen Hurts if he were to transfer because

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 2>he didn't get the Alabama's starting job, he was going

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 2>to be the most sought after free agent in college

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>football history, which I don't know. Cam Newton's okay, yeah,

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Cam Newton's right there. But Jalen Hurts is still at

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Alabama and some people think he might just ride out

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the year and then graduate and transfer without having to

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 2>sit out. So that could be. But we've had it's

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>been a robust grad transfer season and I'm curious. You know,

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Oregon's been involved, Notre Dame has been involved. Yeah, there

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>was a big Nick Harvey from Texas A and m

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>is going to South Carolina. There across whatever rivaled, across

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 2>division rival if one can actually exist in a new SEC.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So it is. It's a thing, and it's worth following.

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Very very much.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:49.959
<v Speaker 2>The thing.

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>We've got a big paragraph almost of names here that

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>are going to be going through their own grad transfer process.

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Travan McMillan, m mag just a back name for Colorado, Yeah,

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>running back, Yeah, going to Colorado.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I saw Kenny Bigelow.

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Another name here that we know from USC going to

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia. Quinton Dormody amid some of the transition at

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee will be transferring away from Knoxville going to Houston.

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Keller Christ going to Tennessee. Who else do

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>we got here of Noe.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Brandy dawk Ins Indiana from Arizona.

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Brady White, another quarterback at AMU, a very highly recruited

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback at ASU going to Memphis. Yeah, there are a

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>number of names here. We already talked about Wilton Space

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>going to UCLA a couple of weeks ago, So this

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is the time here we start hearing more and more

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>about this. We talked a little bit with Stuart Mandel

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 1>a week ago about how all that impacted shape Patterson

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>up at Michigan and the Michigan situation as a whole.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>But we are at a situation now where, yeah, guys

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>changing changing schools here late in the game.

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I do feel bad. There's a Temple going to Alabama,

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Alex Jones, which is totally fine, like that is. It

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>is a definite step up to go from Temple to Alabama,

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 2>But damn is twenty eighteen a bad name, bad year

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>to be named Alex bad.

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, got great, could do better. Go by the

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>middle name maybe.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>And a totally common name. Just ended up screwing you,

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 2>just ended up getting you. So yeah, there's I think

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a website that has all This is a.

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Cool transfer tracker dot com.

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Go to there and learn because there are a lot

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 2>of very familiar names and entering your conference of choice,

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 2>exiting your conference of choice. They do a great job.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>That's all. I have.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>The other name here, it's not a grad transfer. Oh

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 1>who Joe Burrow? Oh that's right, Yes, Joe Burrow transferring

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.079
<v Speaker 1>out of Ohio State.

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he actually did graduate. Okay, that's relative excuse.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 2>I think he did.

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is a grad transfer. He is reportedly drawing

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.599
<v Speaker 1>interest from LSU Cincinnati, where I think you might be

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>visiting or along with LSU.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, Luke Fickle connection is robust.

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Also Arizona State. Obviously Arizona State would love a quarterback

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to stick around.

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>And who wouldn't want to go to Arizona State. I mean,

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>aside from the uncommon situation there at the moment, but

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's great to hang out in Phoenix while

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 2>everywhere else is.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Cold Arkansas and Wyoming two other schools that, okay, have

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.199
<v Speaker 1>sort of throwed their hat in the ring here.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>For Joe Burrow, No, it definitely feels like because he

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>hasn't played significant time, but he's well regarded and was

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 2>recruited to Ohio State and just isn't as good as

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>prospects at quarterback with more tantalizing talent. Perhaps it is

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>funny that he came up through that system and everybody

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 2>is just sort of looking at him like, well, he

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 2>might be good. Who's to say, we know our guys aren't.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, if he ends up at LSU. I think

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>he's visiting LSU either this coming weekend or shortly thereafter.

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>There are somebody who have I mean now without Danny Etling,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>they do not have any even close to sure things

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>on that depth chart, So who knows? Could be interesting?

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>All right? Well, before we get into our vast and

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I do mean vast list of questions here, yes, raw

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and unfiltered, on this Wednesday evening, I have one important

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>ad that I must must get out here into the ether. Dan. Okay,

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>this weekend is Mother's Day. Oh, very true, FTD, you've

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>heard of them? They can help you express your feelings

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>for Mom through a floral work of art that is

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 1>delivered straight to her door. He could send the text message.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>There are aletny of things you could do that would

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>just be nice, you know, to express your thankfulness for

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>having such a great mother, express your love. But there

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>is no better way than to show Mom how much

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>she means to you in your life than by having

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a breath taking flower arrangement from FTD's expert floral networks

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>delivered right to her door. They've got amazing bouquets and

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>arrangements that are going to brighten her home and her day.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And Dan, I have an important question for you. Mm hm.

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Did FTD, as part of our arrangement with them, deliver

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a random bouquet of flowers to your door? They did, Indeed,

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they delivered it to my They delivered to my door. Yeah,

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta be honest. When I brought it in,

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I was a little nervous that the solid wife was

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>going to think that they were coming from another female.

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're a look at you, ty, How could

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>she not be nervous? Look at me?

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>How could she not write? I was a little concerned

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>how this was going to go over in the Hildebrand household.

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm, A beautiful vase, a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>We brought it in. We looked it was from FTD.

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:59.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Now I got an email from my former apartment

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>company because they had an old address, which is fine.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>We just recently moved down the block and they're like,

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you have flowers here, and I was like, I don't

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 2>think so. Yeah, I don't believe in like they're made

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>out to you. And I went and picked them up,

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 2>huge and beautiful. And while you know you can get

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>your mom whatever you'd like to to celebrate Mother's Day,

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 2>there is something about flowers tie and it doesn't have

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>to just go to home, doesn't have to just go

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to wherever your mother lives. Sending it to the workplace

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>is such a power move, like, oh, look at that.

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess uh, I guess ty cares about me more

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>than your son. Huh.

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Pro the prone figure for both of us, because it

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was a beautiful bouquet of flowers right.

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, it was overflowingly beautiful.

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>The pro move would have been to claim it as

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.640

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.320

<v Speaker 1>anything else? I'm leaving out another place where you posted

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>questions FTD flowers okay, great to their shop.

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you posted all.

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Over that We were seeking questions about college football and

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>other topics. We've got pages upon pages here, let's just

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>let's start going through them. Dan, where do you want

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to start? You put this document together today.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's start here. As everybody is anticipating, will Northern Illinois

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 2>ever fire Rod Kerry? That is amazing And I'm going

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to answer that question as earnestly and genuinely as I can. Okay,

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 2>go for it. I don't know why Northern Illinois would

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 2>fire Rod Carry.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Rod Carry is under fifty. He is thirty two to

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>eight in conference in five full seasons as head football coach. Yep,

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a good number regardless of what conference you play it.

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>So if you take that number on its face, I

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I'd ever be inclined to fire him.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 1>As long as he wants to stay around, it's a

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>successful program.

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't know if that question was genuine But

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and I use a really good story as they went

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>from that like huge, crazy, fun offense where they went

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 2>to the Orange Bowl a few years ago and now

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 2>their defense Sutton Smith is ridiculous. They lose their defensive

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>coordinator Kevin Kane to SMU and Sunny Dyke's but they

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 2>put up a top what fifteen to twenty defense nationally

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 2>last year. Recruiting has improved. Their schedule this year is rough,

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.239
<v Speaker 2>at least early on, so they go to Iowa, they

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 2>have Utah, and they go back to Florida to play

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Florida State early on in the season. But you know,

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 2>in conference the schedule is pretty nice. They have Ohio

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and Toledo at home. No more Logan Woodside at Toledo.

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 2>So I am buying a near repeat performance of this

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 2>defense from NIU, And I'm gonna call it right now. Ty.

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>What's today's date? May ninth, May the ninth? Yeah, Rod

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Kerry gets his first Bowl win. I believe he's zero

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and five technically right now. I'm calling it right now.

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Where are we going next? Uh?

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 2>We got a question about Georgia Tech and Chuck and

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I like the phrasing of this question. Will Georgia Tech's

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>more aggressive defensive scheme because he got a new coordinator? Yeah,

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and he's not wrong though, work better in

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>concert with their offense than the bend and then break

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 2>scheme they were in the last few years, obviously with

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 2>well the ted roof.

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 1>The operative phrasing here is bend and then.

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Break, bend, and break little variety.

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 1>So with that in mind, I think anything, anything on

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the Georgia Tech defensive side of the equation will be

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>viewed as a success. Now. I like it because I

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 1>had the more attacking, aggressive mentality on the defensive side

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of football as my Fantasy Things selection either last year

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.159
<v Speaker 1>or the year before. I'm all in favor of that.

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think anything on the defensive side, any kind of

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 1>change in mentality from what Tech was doing previously, should

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>be a net positive in twenty eighteen and beyond. Is

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 1>that fair?

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah? And Nate Woody has been a very good

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 2>defensive coordinator. Yeah for app State these past few years.

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.920
<v Speaker 2>They've only been on this level for I think four

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 2>or five years, and so after year one of a

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>bunch of disappointment, he's put together top forty defenses, if

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>not top twenty twenty five defenses. They've been excellent versus

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the pass in the ACC that seems to be especially

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>early on Right now, Florida State will be improved through

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the air. We assume Clemson will still be solid through

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the air. North Carolina State returns a potential first round pick,

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and Ryan Finley Syracuse is going to throw the balleton.

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>George is going to throw the balleton these next few years.

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 2>He should be able to help with recruiting in the area.

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>He's long been a coach in that region. Atlanta and

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Greater Georgia area has a ton of talent and ty.

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech. You know a lot of people say, like,

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 2>who wants to go play defense at Georgia Tech because

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be going in practice against option stuff, even

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>if it's the whatever team, the scout team. That's what

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 2>app State not a triple option, but app State is

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 2>running a lot of option sort of crazy misleading read

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>stuff for the past few years on offense, so there

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 2>is a familiarity as they switch over, I think to

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a different kind of three four under Nate Woodie. So

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of you know, coordinator to coordinator, you know,

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>upgrade hires. I really like this hire for Tech.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Sure can't go anywhere but up that's yes, all right?

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Where we going next?

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 2>We I think was it Juice? Somebody named Juice as something? Yeah, No,

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 2>this wasn't Juice, but I got if we want to

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 2>talk Juice Williams for the rest of the show, we can. No.

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 2>This is from I'm going to try to get this right.

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I promise you I'm doing my very best. I'm going

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:46.159
<v Speaker 2>to say Sikhar Gupta, Okay, s H, I k H.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 1>That looks right.

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Sikar is my guest.

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>It's better than what I would do.

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Who are your top five breakout players of twenty eighteen?

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>And I ask you this question both in terms of

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 2>who your top five ish players are that fit that

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 2>and what breakout actually means to you.

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Breakout to me means that the player becomes more known

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 1>on the national stage, a household name, more of a

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 1>household name. Yeah, that to me is breakout. Now. I

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this is a top five per se,

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.360
<v Speaker 1>but this is at least five names that I will

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>be watching very closely in twenty eighteen.

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Steve Hank DeMarcus, She's gonna be five random names.

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's first start with Kyler Murray.

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, a no good one.

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray, of course, had some acclaim coming out of

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.359
<v Speaker 1>high school, right somewhat known, transferred away. Now playing in

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a wide open system with Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma, he

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>stands to take over for Baker Mayfield. I think the

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>world is his oyster. I'm excited to see what he

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>can do in that system. So an athletic kid, not

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the biggest of quarterbacks, but should be a lot of

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch in again, a wide open system.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Kyler running game alongside for Rodney Anderson.

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray is my number one. I'm also going to

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>throw out some other names in here. DeAndre Swift, the

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>guy that we had the pleasure of meeting, great name

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>down at the National Championship. We're down there, DeAndre Swift.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't want to say it was crowded

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>out by Sony Michelle and Nick Chubb in the Georgia backfield.

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 1>He's certainly got a lot of premier work, but this

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>year he's going to be the featured back. He's a

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>local guy to me up here in Eastern PA, and

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think big things await him in the SEC. So

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to see what twenty eighteen has in story

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 1>for DeAndre Swift. Adrian Martinez to.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Me, oh, okay, okay.

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Is an interesting name now. Adrian Martinez true freshman. If

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you believe what people have reported about Nebraska spring football

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and spring practice as a whole, he has impressed. It

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>would seem as if he might be the early front

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>runner to take hold of that quarterback job now under

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Scott Frost. Mm hm. I am excited to see what

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Scott Frost can do with the true freshman quarter who

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>comes in with a lot of a lot of talent, a.

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Lot of expectations from you.

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Adrian Martinez to me, is of interest in the Big

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>ten west of Nebraska on the Big Ten quarterback front.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Haskins.

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah, he's on my list too.

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Haskins. Now, look, he's playing at Ohio State, so

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 1>he's clearly got all of the tools around him to

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 1>succeed in a big way right out of the shoot.

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 1>But Dwayne Haskins will have his opportunity now that the

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>stage is cleared. He can step foot into that role

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>as the head signal caller at Ohio State.

0:24:33.760 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 2>And we think, are we following? Are we falling into

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>a trap?

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.959
<v Speaker 1>You're always falling into a trap when you put a

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 1>brand new starting quarterback up here. But I think he's

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>got the skill set and certainly the tools around him,

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the support network around him where it won't all fall

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>on his shoulder, and whatever he brings to the fold

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to be viewed very nicely. I will work

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>out very well.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>For Dwayne Haskins, I'm more saying, are we following falling

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:05.159
<v Speaker 2>into a trap that he is one of two candidates

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 2>most susceptible to Beckmeyer syndrome in that it appears that

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the world is his oyster. And then how State plays

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State in its close game and they run him

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty four times and lose by three. That is my

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>concern that we forget about BMS in mid May. But

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>he's on my lost here, Dan, I'm going a loss,

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I want to believe, but he's he's on your list. Okay,

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's for And then the other one that I'm

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 2>going to throw in there, we saw him in limited action.

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 2>He got hurt later in the year, but he's going

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a monster.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Moses. Dylan Moses for Alabama at the linebacker position

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a monster. He's eventually going to

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>be a first round pick, probably a top ten pick

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>at some point. Gonna be an absolute monster, a one

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 1>man wrecking crew on that Alabama defense. Again, embarrassment of riches.

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.880
<v Speaker 1>It's Alabama. But if he didn't know Dylan Moses's name yet,

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a good time to familiarize yourself with what

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he brings to the table. So those my five for now.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I will run through my four quickly because I've already

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Dwayne Haskins, and I am confident I really liked

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>what he was able to do in limited action last year.

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:16.399
<v Speaker 2>Donovan Peoples Jones at Michigan has a full on, real

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:20.360
<v Speaker 2>life decent quarterback now in Shaye Patterson. And we saw

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Shaye Patterson's connection with AJ Brown at least the first

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 2>half of last year, and I think he should be

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 2>able to buy time even behind a suspect offensive line,

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to allow Donovan People's Jones to get behind any and

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 2>all secondaries. Juwan Washington, he is the new Rashad Penny,

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 2>who was the new Don L. Pumphrey, who both ran

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>for two thousand plus yards these past couple of years,

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 2>which I did the math. That's over two miles of

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 2>just running on West Coast teams time. And I have

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>no reasonably Juwan Washington, who by all accounts is very talented,

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>won't do something similar Daylon Mack, who is a known

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 2>name Dalen Mack Texas A and M I think has

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 2>a defensive coordinator who will not necessarily feature him because

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 2>he's an interior defensive lineman. But I think the organization

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>around and the improvement we saw from Mike Elco's defense,

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>coming from coming what he did at Notre Dame in

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 2>South Bend, he should be able to, I think thrive

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>given his ceiling talent wise. And my final pick Juwan Pass,

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:24.960
<v Speaker 2>who has just a perfect, excellent last name for being

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback. His last name is Pass and he as

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback at Louisville. The system is in place, Bobby Patrino.

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's one of those things like say what

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 2>you will tie about Bobby Petrino, but he knows quarterbacks.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 2>The template is there, the playbook, the system, the ability

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.399
<v Speaker 2>to develop the time he's had, the flashes he's shown.

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 2>We've seen it recently with Heisman level quarterbacks and guys

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 2>that come in after that, at least in the short term.

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to like about having that infrastructure in place,

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.680
<v Speaker 2>whether it was Verne Adams at Oregon, you know, Colt

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 2>McCoy following Vince Young. There's a lot to like about

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 2>these guys coming into good situations, and I think he is.

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 2>So Juan Passes my fifth. All right, where are we

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 2>going next? Next question? We got some Iowa questions, and

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>TI I say, screw it. Let's talk Iowa all right quick,

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Let'shiowa football. Let's go Phillip. Can Iowa increase their offensive

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 2>production sixty six yards last year versus Wisconsin and win

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten West? So here's my question that I'm

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:33.719
<v Speaker 2>going to posit to you and to America. What has

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Iowa done to get better this offseason? Where is the encouragement?

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Is there a new offensive coordinator? No, there is not.

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Is there a quarterback who stays there and showed promise

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 2>last year? Yes?

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there is definitely.

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Are they without their most talented running back who is

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 2>no longer there? And Akrom Wadley he's gone, he's gone.

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Are they without their two best offensive linemen from last year?

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 2>And certainly those guys developed from a point as well,

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes they are. Are the receiving options robust and varied? No,

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 2>they're super not And I do have a tough time.

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 2>The Big Ten West year over year is going to change.

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Wisconsin's defense is going to be nearly

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>as good as it was. I still think it'll be fine.

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Nebraska's defense is going to be all

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 2>that impressive Perdue loses a ton on defense, So Iowa

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 2>will I'm saying it right here, Ty, you can write

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>it down and put it in an envelope. They will

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 2>put up more than sixty six yards first Wisconsin this.

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Year, so yeahst likely. Yeah. So in the end my

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>answer is yes, I like their defensive line. I think

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>their defensive line should hold up quite well against a

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>conference that we know likes to pound it out on

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the ground. And I think their schedule actually sets up

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. They don't have to play Ohio State, Michigan

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>or Michigan State from the east. They do travel to

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Penn State, which will be a tough a tough game,

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. In Antenne Plain State College that's the case.

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think that works their favor. And I like

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Nate Stanley a lot, and Nate Stanley had a really

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>quiet but very successful campaign, go to the extent where

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.239
<v Speaker 1>now it doesn't feel like the quarterback position is at

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>all in jeopardy, is at all a question, and Iowa

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>might be able to get back to more of the

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess identity philosophy that we came to know on

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the better Iowa teams in the past, where

0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>they could pound it out in the ground, but they

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 1>also were balanced enough that they could beat you on

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a play action pass.

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>They had weapons to go deep.

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they got the weapons too. So I'm I'm

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 1>excited about Iowa football in twenty eighteen. And I know

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that might be a bit of an oxymoron, Dan, because

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Iowa football isn't all that sexy, But I liked what

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw from them a year ago, and I think

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of reason to be optimistic. Twenty eight Team.

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Kyle wants to know when will the new shirts slash

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>hats people want hats. Yeah, we just recently learned this.

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 2>When will they be available? We're recording this on May ninth.

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Do we have a an acceptable answer? Do we have

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>a target date? Because we have not fully discussed this

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>off air, so let's just talk now. Do we think

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we can do this by June first?

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we can realistically expect that we're going to

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:11.040
<v Speaker 1>have new offerings in place by to say it, mid

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to late June, mid to late June.

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try to June first, but yeah, it'll be

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.320
<v Speaker 2>in the month of June. And I will say right now,

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 2>we have designs plural that we are very excited about.

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>We have products plural that we are very excited about,

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 2>both as it relates to the show and beyond the

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.479
<v Speaker 2>show that I think people will appreciate and want to

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 2>be a part of. If you know, if you got

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 2>some cash laying around you want to support the show,

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>we'd be more than happy to outfit you in soft,

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>comfortable shirts and hats and other products.

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I will tease by saying the following, Yeah, we have

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 1>had we have had a teasy right. We have had

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a really good response to our solid verbal designs over

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:55.479
<v Speaker 1>the last two two and a half years, and now

0:31:56.600 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>given that we have a good way to do it,

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be expanding upon that. So Designs Plural

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is really our effort to expand a bit on the

0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>merchandising front. There will be more than one T shirt.

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 1>This gentleman mentioned hats. There will be hats. We've got

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>some really exciting plans I think ahead of us here

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in the early part of the offseason that can get

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 1>people more connected to the verbollerhood than ever before.

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Now that's my famous, my favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 2>There will be hats. There will That's right, there will

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>be hats. His second question is what single game are

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 2>each of you most excited about this season. I have

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a list of like six, but I've picked one. Do

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you have a game?

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming your number one is Oregon versus UCLA on

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>November three.

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 2>No, well, this is he just asked about, you know,

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>any game. I'm going to say no Oregon games for

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 2>this question, the Notre Dame game.

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Can I please say that mine is Oregon versus Ucla.

0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Because of that, you can requisite anguish that I know

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>will take place on your side.

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be running into an X. You guys

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>have both moved on. You guys are both thriving, but

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 2>at the same time we're like, what if?

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>What if?

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's fair to say that's your answer.

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that if I'm not gonna go Oregon or Ucla

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>out of spite, I probably say, and I know it's

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a tired answer here, but I am genuinely

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>curious about Michigan Ohio State this year in a way

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that I feel I haven't been in previous years because

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of the shape factor.

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, they have two new quarterbacks, technic.

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Excited to see which direction that one goes. I'm also

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 1>interested in Penn State Michigan for obvious reasons. But are

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 1>we not allowed to pick like headliner games here?

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I have I have new matchups that we don't usually get.

0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>What are your new matchups?

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 2>So my two or maybe two and a half, I

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 2>have Auburn Washington, which turns out Auburn is a place

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 2>in Washington September.

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>What second in Atlanta?

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's week one. I can leave in Atlanta.

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's in Texas. That's They're are not

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 2>that many quarterbacks going into the Seas and we're like,

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.879
<v Speaker 2>he is going to definitely be good, and this game

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 2>has two of them.

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Auburn has a ridiculous schedule this year, by the way.

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes they do. It's they very much do. But this

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 2>this is basically you get all summer of Gus Melson

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Chris Peterson planning things. I love both of these teams defenses,

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 2>especially Washington's secondary. Jake Browning is excellent when healthy. They

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:43.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, Miles Gaskin is one of the more underrated,

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 2>although if everybody is saying he's underrated, then at a

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 2>certain point he is the most properly rated underrated running

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.759
<v Speaker 2>back in the country. But I like Washington a whole

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 2>bunch and everything. They return Auburn as well, that'll be

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that'll be fun on a big, if not unfortunate stage.

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 2>That it's not, you know, a home and home in

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Seattle and Auburn. So that's my other like, very short

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 2>answer is FAU Oklahoma Lincoln Riley. Yeah, offense points great.

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.399
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense. Yeah, all right, where are we going next?

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Next question? I don't like, we're just banging time. Let's

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 2>just go man Wednesday night, Rod just banging through. Right,

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:23.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the juice question. The three best overall position

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 2>groups in the country. By the way, somebody did notice.

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was Twitter or an email

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 2>or comments whatever. They're like typical Dan fashion. Somebody asks

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 2>for one, he gives four and a half. Somebody asks

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 2>for three, he gives five and a quarter. I just

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of things.

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, hold on back to this question here, Yes,

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:48.879
<v Speaker 1>overall position groups. So is that then to ask, if

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you take all of the wide receivers in the country,

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 1>is that the best position group in football? Are we

0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>doing per conference, per team? What are we looking at here?

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I think when he says overall, he means which position

0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 2>groups on a national scope, so not necessarily, this is

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:11.120
<v Speaker 2>a great year for receivers, which you know, which receivers

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 2>on a certain team are so good that they have

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to be considered the best in the country at any position. Okay,

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.959
<v Speaker 2>so like last year you could have said Oklahoma's offensive line.

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this year you could say Clemson's defensive line. That's

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 1>exactly right, Clemson's defensive line, I think, I think that's right.

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:28.839
<v Speaker 1>The most obvious answer here, right.

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. I've got a few because I'm bad. Yeah,

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm a bad boy. I really like Michigan's defensive line

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 2>with Rashaun Garry, Aubrey Solomon, Chase Winovich, a ton of

0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 2>experience and anger. I like Bama's running back corps. That's

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 2>too easy an answer, but sometimes you just got to

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:48.440
<v Speaker 2>please the butt Bama people because they have Damien Harris

0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and naj Harris and Josh Jacobs. Here's the one that

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I here's my deeper cut. I won't say it's a

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:56.840
<v Speaker 2>deep cut because they're a major team in a major conference,

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:01.920
<v Speaker 2>but West Virginia's wide receiver Corpsry Jennings, Marcus Simms, David Sills,

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:04.960
<v Speaker 2>who how David Sills is still in college football in

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen remains a mystery.

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Him and Ryan Finley are like I've olt on retirement benefits.

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Finley may be our age and that's fine. But

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 2>West Virginia's wide receiver corps is great, and they have

0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a what could be a very very good situation at quarterback.

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 2>And Will Greer if he is able to come back

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and stay healthy all year long. I think that is

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>That is my answer, at least for you know, the

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 2>non obvious Clemson defensive line, Washington secondary is right there,

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Bama's linebacking corps is right there, but I really like

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:40.799
<v Speaker 2>what Dana Holgerson has out wide.

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:44.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'll go with that. Clemson's defensive line, to me,

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I think is the most obvious answer. Can I can

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I pose a question here?

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Get in there, ty one that I saw.

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw this question here from a gentleman named Anthony,

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and it is a Notre Dame related question. I do apologize,

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.320
<v Speaker 1>but I thought it was an interesting dilemma that he posed.

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Since you're talking about Michigan, He says, does Notre Dame

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:07.760
<v Speaker 1>have a better chance of beating Michigan the first game

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of the year or USC the last game of the year.

0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Dan Okay, better chance, I see what he's alluding to,

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:20.600
<v Speaker 1>A beating Michigan, better chance of beating USC. I sat

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and I stroked my chin thinking about this for a

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>good fifteen minutes. Thank you.

0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 2>You weren't expecting it, were you.

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? I could tell that you were up to something.

0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Normally you'd respond a little quicker. I think that I

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 1>am more worried about the Michigan game me first week

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.399
<v Speaker 1>of the year than I would be USC last game

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:45.880
<v Speaker 1>of the year for a number of reasons. I think

0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 1>that because of Notre Dame replacing the left side of

0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:52.880
<v Speaker 1>their line again, losing two guys top ten of the draft,

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Quentin Nelson mcglinchy both going pro. I think they lose

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>their top running back and josh Ada. We've got some

0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of their bigger play threats in Equinemias Saint Brown going pro,

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Stepherson getting booted off the team. With all of

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that being said, even despite the fact that they should

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:18.359
<v Speaker 1>have a really sound defense this coming season, I am

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit worried about the first game of the year.

0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 1>It all falling on the arm of brand new Wimbush,

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to be a recurring theme that you

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 1>hear from me on this show, not only in the

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.839
<v Speaker 1>build up to the season, but perhaps throughout the first

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>couple weeks before he gets pulled. I am concerned about

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that matchup in particular because Michigan's got the defense.

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the answer is probably Michigan. It's week one,

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and there's less certainty after fall camp just what the

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>team is actually going to look like against a good

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 2>team right off the bat. That's why a lot of

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 2>coaches like to schedule down a little bit. That first

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 2>week of the season. USC is on the road, albeit

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 2>USC I think has the UCL game the week before,

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 2>so there's there's letdown potential there, just as we look

0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 2>six months into the future. But yes, I think the

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Week one factor the more proven quarterback situation for Michigan

0:40:13.480 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 2>at this point in shape Patterson. Then you know, if

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:19.239
<v Speaker 2>it's JT. Daniels, eventually I'm going to take Michigan as well.

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 2>And I also think the defensive line for Michigan. You know,

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.880
<v Speaker 2>the more I've thought about things, and this is definitely

0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:29.959
<v Speaker 2>not my theory, is just trying to appreciate as much

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 2>teams that have some sort of combination of good quarterback

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 2>play and a really good defense and defensive line in particular.

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:39.839
<v Speaker 2>And the better your quarterback is, the worser defense has

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:42.279
<v Speaker 2>to be, as we saw with Oklahoma last year, And

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 2>the better your your defense is, the not as talented

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 2>and productive your quarterback can be, as we've seen with

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 2>previous Alabama teams. But I'd like this Michigan defensive line

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 2>more than I like USC's defensive line. And I like

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 2>shape Patterson right now better than what USC will have.

0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:01.279
<v Speaker 1>So you're agreeing with me here essentially. All right, let

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:03.280
<v Speaker 1>me ask you another question might be a little personal.

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm this is what I cherish. Have you looked lately

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:16.879
<v Speaker 1>at your interest rate? I'm hearing a long pause here, Dan.

0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:20.080

<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about well. As soon as you said interest rate,

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh God, there's gonna be math.

<v Speaker 2>I would consider and look up further information.

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Ty, yes, of course, as always, all right, anything financial?

0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, absolutely, I will take this conversation to yo Wifey's

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:17.120
<v Speaker 2>fave DJ.

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Whoa, whoa, Whoaha? Where are we on the dock? Here?

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Follow the leader? Oh as an Oklahoma state fan? Okay, which,

0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:28.960
<v Speaker 2>by the way, this got me thinking about something else.

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:31.919
<v Speaker 2>First of all, does your wife like DJs?

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Not particularly? I like, doesn't have anything against them as people, right, Like,

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>if you're a DJ, solidwise's okay with that. Okay, I'm

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:41.840
<v Speaker 1>not gonna.

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Judge you for doing that, but I don't a lot

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 2>of people wipe and sweat off their.

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Brow, right. I think she would be more inclined to

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>find something else on the Spotify playlist than whoever she

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:53.399
<v Speaker 1>would consider her favorite DJ.

0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 2>My wife texted me this morning and she said people

0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:58.359
<v Speaker 2>at work are making fun of me because I've never

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:03.320
<v Speaker 2>heard of Kaigo Hi who k ygo kaig?

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Yeah, yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, I got are you

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 1>familiar with I'm familiar, but only vaguely.

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I wasn't, And I was like, I we are

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a good pair because our Chigo knowledge as a couple

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:19.600
<v Speaker 2>does not exist. Apparently he is a Norwegian DJ who

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:20.440
<v Speaker 2>is quite popular.

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that, Yepkay.

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 2>As an aside, Yeah, now I'm an Oklahoma State fan

0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:29.520
<v Speaker 2>but also a Bengals fan. How should I feel about

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Mason Rudolph and Junkyard Jim Washington going to Pittsburgh. I

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:37.000
<v Speaker 2>just have a very simple thought about this, But the

0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:37.720
<v Speaker 2>floor is yours.

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I really like Mason Rudolph as a pro prospect. We

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 1>had Taj Boyd on the show.

0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But he's asking about emotions.

0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm getting to that, Dan, Okay. I we we

0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:53.840
<v Speaker 1>had talked to TODJ Boyd, and part of what we

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 1>edited out because he included so much good information was

0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:02.359
<v Speaker 1>actually how he felt about the upcoming quarterback class. And

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he said in that interview that Mason Rudolph was his

0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>favorite pro prospect at the quarterback right. Of all the

0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 1>big names that you heard, Mason Rudolph was his favorite.

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Ever since that moment, I took Mason Rudolph and his

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:20.840
<v Speaker 1>NFL prospects a little bit more seriously, and I gotta say,

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:23.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's a little bit of confirmation bias. I don't know,

0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:26.920
<v Speaker 1>but I started to feel very similarly. So my long

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 1>answer here is, given the fact that big Ben is

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 1>clearly in the twilight of his career at this moment,

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and at any single solitary moment in the NFL season,

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:41.680
<v Speaker 1>he could go down with an unforeseen injury. I would

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:44.720
<v Speaker 1>feel terrified as a Bengals fan to have Mason Rudolph

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:46.400
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, because we know he can throw,

0:45:47.239 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and Junkyard Jim Washington also going to Pittsburgh. Dan, Yep,

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the hookup, the handcuff is there for potential fantasy team

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 1>owners three years down the road. I am really excited

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:02.799
<v Speaker 1>about that possibility. As someone who lives in Pennsylvania and

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 1>on rare occasion roots for the Steelers, I would be

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:09.920
<v Speaker 1>terrified as a Bengals fan. So all salient points, all

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>good points. I'm going to approach this question on how

0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 1>should he feel about the two of them succeeding for

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a team he doesn't like, Like I feel like he

0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is going to be mixed about this, And I will

0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:24.160
<v Speaker 1>say this, Mason Rudoff and James Washington, Junkyard Jim JUNKI

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>did not choose to go to Pittsburgh.

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:29.359
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not like they said to themselves, where can

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I cause the most damage in the NFL? And just

0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 2>tear off the lid off this league. Pittsburgh, that's the answer.

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:39.799
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to beat up on Cincinnati. Who are

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 2>They're probably both from the Southwest if they went to

0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State. So I'm thinking as an Oklahoma State fan,

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:49.319
<v Speaker 2>root for them to be excellent, Root for them to

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:51.680
<v Speaker 2>make a ton of money. Root for them to stay healthy.

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they don't beat Pittsburgh, but they stay healthy. Root

0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:58.319
<v Speaker 2>for the Steelers mostly because you like rooting for them

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:01.359
<v Speaker 2>at Oklahoma State, I presume. And the better they are

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:05.440
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, the better indirectly it will be for.

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Almost Oklahoma State in a positive.

0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Wade you the next Mason Rudolph, Look how we prepared

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 2>him for the NFL.

0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Another similar example here is Saquon Barkley. Because there are

0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Penn State fans who are also diehard

0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Eagles fans, and when the Giants took Saquon with the

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>second overall pick, a lot of mixed emotions on this

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 1>side of the state.

0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna lie he chose to go to Penn State,

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 2>he didn't choose to go to the Giants.

0:47:29.800 --> 0:47:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Now, as a Penn State alum who has hated the

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles, his entire life and strangely rooted for the Giants.

0:47:37.080 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 1>This could not have worked out any better for me personally,

0:47:40.440 --> 0:47:41.719
<v Speaker 1>but that's neither here nor Yeah.

0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, where are we going next? Same guy Sikar wants

0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 2>to know. Can y'all do a live show in Socow please?

0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, dan Ah, what do we think in terms of

0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:56.400
<v Speaker 1>live shows? We've already spilled the beans on our plans

0:47:56.440 --> 0:47:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to do a Chicago live show at some point early

0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:02.839
<v Speaker 1>to mid August. Correct fantasy things draft. We're gonna blow

0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 1>it out. It'll be all sorts of fun. We have,

0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.920
<v Speaker 1>according to our survey, a number of hotspots around the

0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 1>country where people will be very excited, very motivated to

0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:15.520
<v Speaker 1>come and see a Sliverbal live show. One of those

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.080
<v Speaker 1>is Washington, d C. Which we will get to m hm.

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Another one of.

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Those is the event on any city's social calendar, of course.

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Another one of those live show is Texas. Somewhere in between.

0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It'll be Austin. It will be Austin. It's going to

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:30.280
<v Speaker 2>be Austin, lied to the people.

0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so Austin. But we had a lot of interest

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 1>from Houston, from from Dallas, the Fort Worth area, as

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:40.680
<v Speaker 1>well as Austin, and then we had a bunch of

0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:43.279
<v Speaker 1>places out on the West coast. We had San Francisco

0:48:43.520 --> 0:48:46.240
<v Speaker 1>throw its name in the ring. We had La obviously,

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:48.960
<v Speaker 1>La throwing its name in the ring. Seattle had a

0:48:49.000 --> 0:48:52.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong showing on our survey that we conducted about

0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a year ago.

0:48:53.280 --> 0:48:56.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you soon. Let's split the difference. What's up, Bakersfield?

0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:58.239
<v Speaker 1>The question here is can you all do a live

0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:00.440
<v Speaker 1>show in southern California? You're from this or dan? How

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:01.239
<v Speaker 1>do you feel? I have this?

0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:04.439
<v Speaker 2>I would love to. Yeah, there would be nothing more

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:07.600
<v Speaker 2>fun than to do a show for me in southern California.

0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where we would do it, somewhere Central,

0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Culver City or something, but yeah, hell yeah I would.

0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I would. That'd be a dream. I want to go

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:18.640
<v Speaker 2>all those cities at Austin, whatever, DC, Chicago, but yeah,

0:49:18.680 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 2>southern California.

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you would you do the following? First off, did

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you have any enemies in high school?

0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:49:27.719 --> 0:49:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Would you somehow try to get it back to that

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.479
<v Speaker 1>person that, Oh, by the way, I'm doing a live

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:35.399
<v Speaker 1>show in your back.

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I think fences have been mended.

0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll get where I'm at now.

0:49:40.600 --> 0:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think who that would be specifically, Yeah,

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I think so. I don't think I would reach out,

0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:48.400
<v Speaker 2>but I would. I would somehow try to make it publicly.

0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:51.479
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of like passive aggressively, like, Oh, Danny's coming

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:55.359
<v Speaker 1>to town and he's doing a live show thing really cool.

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a live college football podcast that a bakery

0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:07.000
<v Speaker 2>turns out. My life turned out better than yours. Yeah, okay,

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you don't know how I do have an enemy.

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:11.440
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna try to do more live shows this year.

0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Can we stay with food because we asked for groceries questions?

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I love this question so much, and I'm so disappointed

0:50:19.080 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't delved deeper when we originally talked about

0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:26.279
<v Speaker 2>you advising, I believe it's meg More, Damn meg On.

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:29.239
<v Speaker 2>You know where she should try to find love in

0:50:29.280 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the real world. Robbie wants to know what sections of

0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the grocery store are the most prime for picking someone up? Wow,

0:50:40.040 --> 0:50:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and what are the signs that a man slash woman

0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is that there are the receptive to your attempts.

0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:51.840
<v Speaker 1>So we must add here that Robbie kind of addressed

0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:52.680
<v Speaker 1>this question to me.

0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, told disclosure.

0:50:55.280 --> 0:50:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I've never actually done this.

0:50:57.280 --> 0:50:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, Come on.

0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I was shooting from the hip when I answered the question.

0:51:03.160 --> 0:51:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought it might be a good idea. Now, in fairness,

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it didn't have legs initially, but then after the show

0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:12.480
<v Speaker 1>was released, even you came around on that, you said

0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a sneaky good answer.

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:17.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not a bad answer. It's just so tricky. It's

0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 2>basically likeicky.

0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but it's a good answer. I stand by that

0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:22.759
<v Speaker 1>answer wholeheartedly.

0:51:23.560 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, in action movies where there is a very

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 2>select team and they're tasked with an extraction, whether if

0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:35.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like an antiquity or if it's they're rescuing a

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 2>kidnapping victim, where they're like, here's the blueprint, here's the plan,

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 2>here's if things go wrong, the exit strategy. It is

0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:46.120
<v Speaker 2>such a specific thing, and you don't have you know,

0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you won't have control of the objects of your potential desire, right,

0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:57.040
<v Speaker 2>and so your plan both where and how and why

0:51:57.160 --> 0:52:00.759
<v Speaker 2>and when and frankly tie from what angle. Approach from

0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the left side, make sure there's no ring, don't waste

0:52:03.400 --> 0:52:07.799
<v Speaker 2>your time and shame. Approach from the left side. And

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:11.239
<v Speaker 2>I do think it's aware and how so, I don't

0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:14.400
<v Speaker 2>know how much thought you've given this decidedly, not single person,

0:52:15.280 --> 0:52:20.280
<v Speaker 2>but I not single person have given it. Okay, okay,

0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 2>these are my let's start with your don'ts Okay, I

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:30.600
<v Speaker 2>say avoid cereal, Avoid crackers. Why because they don't elicit anything.

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Because they're cereal and crackers.

0:52:32.520 --> 0:52:33.040
<v Speaker 2>That's why.

0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:35.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just sort of like, oh, we're out of corn flakes,

0:52:36.000 --> 0:52:38.319
<v Speaker 2>we're out of you know, lucky charms, we're out of

0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:40.799
<v Speaker 2>frosted flakes, we're out of you know, grape nuts. That

0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do anything for the synapses in your brain. Same

0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:48.799
<v Speaker 2>with wheat thins, triskets, whatever, soda, crackers. I would stay

0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:53.880
<v Speaker 2>away from the meat slash butcher now hold on, oh ty.

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:57.360
<v Speaker 1>George Costanzas said that pastrami is the most sensual of

0:52:57.400 --> 0:52:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the cured.

0:52:57.800 --> 0:53:00.800
<v Speaker 2>But that's when you've already sealed the deal. Okay, that's

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a complimentary meat. There is nothing sexy or at least,

0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, riveting in some sort of social way about

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:10.880
<v Speaker 2>chicken thighs, raw meat, ross.

0:53:10.640 --> 0:53:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Brown, Salmonella E coli. I'm with you, it is with

0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you on this.

0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is not a visual that you want to

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:19.960
<v Speaker 2>associate with new love. Sorry, that's me.

0:53:20.320 --> 0:53:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean maybe that's your thing, but I tend to

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:26.040
<v Speaker 1>agree you can't assume. Yeah.

0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I would also say bread is sort of a no

0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:30.479
<v Speaker 2>fly zone. That's just like, are we out of bread?

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:53:30.560 --> 0:53:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess I should get more read. How many grains

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.240
<v Speaker 2>is too many grains? What? It's just it is a boring,

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 2>non sexy part of a grocery store.

0:53:37.440 --> 0:53:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think now that's actually in agreement so far.

0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Here Okay, here's where I would focus. Yeah, because you

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 2>want conversation starters. You want somebody's the synapses once again

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:51.759
<v Speaker 2>to be tingling in a positive way. I would say

0:53:51.760 --> 0:53:54.600
<v Speaker 2>frozen food is dicey because nobody really spends a ton

0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:56.359
<v Speaker 2>of time there. It's an in and out kind of thing.

0:53:56.440 --> 0:54:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Like and also desserts great, yes, converse station starter. What's

0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:03.880
<v Speaker 2>your favorite flavor of this? Have you ever if you

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:05.640
<v Speaker 2>see that they have a new flavor of this? Have

0:54:05.719 --> 0:54:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you tried this kind of bar or whatever? Great desserts

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:11.279
<v Speaker 2>are exciting, tie, It's it's sort of like the what

0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:12.719
<v Speaker 2>do you say at the end of a meal, Like

0:54:12.719 --> 0:54:14.239
<v Speaker 2>when you're trying to decide if you're going to order

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:17.480
<v Speaker 2>dessert or not. I shouldn't, but I want it. I shouldn't,

0:54:17.480 --> 0:54:18.200
<v Speaker 2>but I want it.

0:54:18.360 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's the sort of here's the thing about that aisle

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:23.640
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, you've got a lot of machinery with

0:54:23.719 --> 0:54:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the freezers. Little buzz, little buzz not always the clearest

0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:31.560
<v Speaker 1>conversation takes, but little breeze ryle. Yeah, it's cold. People

0:54:31.600 --> 0:54:35.160
<v Speaker 1>are uncomfortable. Yeah, they're looking to get out of there

0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:38.360
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as possible. Get what you want. It's a

0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:41.160
<v Speaker 1>search and destroy mission. It's not a great place to

0:54:41.280 --> 0:54:44.000
<v Speaker 1>just hang around and start a conversation with the stranger.

0:54:44.040 --> 0:54:44.399
<v Speaker 1>So I agree.

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:47.960
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's got to be dessert area, not frozen

0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:50.919
<v Speaker 2>French bread pizza area. It's high risk, high reward because

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.280
<v Speaker 2>it's either exciting and titillating or it's sad and solo.

0:54:54.600 --> 0:54:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:54:55.760 --> 0:55:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I will say your your bakery great smells. A lot

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:05.719
<v Speaker 2>of the time it's oh, I'm getting cupcakes for a friend. Ooh,

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm feel like something sweet and naughty. Tie get that

0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:09.439
<v Speaker 2>bakery gone.

0:55:09.640 --> 0:55:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, bakery is not a bad answer.

0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Busy deli people waiting around with their number.

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh, so they can't.

0:55:18.360 --> 0:55:20.600
<v Speaker 2>They're not in the middle of buying something or looking

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:22.440
<v Speaker 2>at a nutrition label at a.

0:55:22.440 --> 0:55:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Little impatient and maybe more receptive to common chit chat.

0:55:28.800 --> 0:55:30.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what I would do, tie this is me,

0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:33.640
<v Speaker 2>and it would almost assuredly fail. I would walk up

0:55:33.719 --> 0:55:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to somebody waiting there looking like they were in a

0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:38.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty good mood, and I would say, let me guess

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:42.520
<v Speaker 2>pepper jack and see where that's a Seinfeld move, right

0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:46.239
<v Speaker 2>there is? That's one percent, Yeah, Seinfeld move. Produce isn't

0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:47.840
<v Speaker 2>bad because you can say, like, how do you actually

0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 2>know if avocados are ripe? There's entry points. Pet food

0:55:51.600 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 2>is good because you can talk about pets. What if

0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a pet, well, then you should not

0:55:56.440 --> 0:55:59.120
<v Speaker 2>go to the pet food. Okay, but it's the old like, oh,

0:55:59.160 --> 0:56:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you have a gold Nu strip bar, gold Rehiver. You

0:56:00.719 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 2>ever go to this park? We should go.

0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's tough.

0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna say it's easy, but I'm just telling

0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:08.640
<v Speaker 2>you that's an option. And my final one would just

0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:13.160
<v Speaker 2>be whatever you consider your brand strengths to be. If

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:16.440
<v Speaker 2>you have lots of what you considered to be fun, clever,

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:22.000
<v Speaker 2>witty thoughts about hummus, spend some time in the hummics area.

0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:24.839
<v Speaker 1>See Dan, I think you missed the boat on this.

0:56:25.160 --> 0:56:26.920
<v Speaker 2>What did I miss all the.

0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Years we've been doing this show. Usually you have a

0:56:28.960 --> 0:56:32.480
<v Speaker 1>very creative answer that I haven't, that I haven't thought

0:56:32.560 --> 0:56:34.440
<v Speaker 1>through that I don't think I can go toe to

0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 1>toe with. I think I have the answer here.

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:39.799
<v Speaker 1>We're two gentlemen who like to cook. What is your

0:56:39.800 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 1>go to recipe? What would you cook for somebody if

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you were taking them, you know, on a date.

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:48.000
<v Speaker 2>They were coming over, if they were coming them dinner.

0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I'm thinking maybe you've got an Italian dish,

0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:54.399
<v Speaker 1>maybe you've got some other kind of dish that you're

0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:58.720
<v Speaker 1>very proud of. Why not hang around lurk?

0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Not not.

0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Just hang out? Go casually in the Italian section, you know,

0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about some some spaghetti sauce, talk about use that

0:57:12.160 --> 0:57:14.759
<v Speaker 1>as like your entry point to talk about Yeah, I

0:57:14.880 --> 0:57:16.920
<v Speaker 1>use this in my spaghetti sauce and it's really good.

0:57:17.120 --> 0:57:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Try to build on that and see where you go.

0:57:20.920 --> 0:57:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that's too ordinary. Not that Italian food is ordinary,

0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:28.919
<v Speaker 2>but I think the idea of cooking pasta is like, oh,

0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't have anything else left, but I have these

0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:34.520
<v Speaker 2>like shells and marinarias. I'm just fine.

0:57:34.720 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Kind of along the same lines as your pet food commentary. Right,

0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 1>see if you can spin that off into like a

0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:44.960
<v Speaker 1>future engagement, not literal engagement. But you know what I mean.

0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm thinking along the same lines, but just

0:57:47.960 --> 0:57:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in a more human sense.

0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Dan, what do your cross we jars? Don't? It doesn't

0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:52.560
<v Speaker 2>get me worked up? Ty?

0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:55.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you do well? And can you spin that

0:57:55.440 --> 0:57:57.800
<v Speaker 1>off into something okay down the road?

0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with it if you have lots of clever

0:58:00.800 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 2>thoughts about dried pasta and jard Marin AA sauce. If

0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you do, that's fine. But I think it's a It's

0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:08.600
<v Speaker 2>tough because I don't think a lot of people do

0:58:09.480 --> 0:58:15.600
<v Speaker 2>my spaghetti sauce about it? With starting out there, how

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Kate ever landed on you, I will never know.

0:58:19.200 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Where are we going? Next? Good question, Robbie, thank.

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:26.080
<v Speaker 2>You, amazing question. Let's go to I like this question

0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:28.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot. It's from chance. I can't all these questions.

0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a really great name. I love that it is

0:58:30.200 --> 0:58:33.040
<v Speaker 2>a good name. As athletic departments continue to invest in

0:58:33.080 --> 0:58:36.320
<v Speaker 2>graphic design and video production, how much do you think

0:58:36.360 --> 0:58:39.600
<v Speaker 2>that the quality of a team's media affects the perception

0:58:39.760 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 2>of the program to recruits media members? And fans. How

0:58:42.920 --> 0:58:47.120
<v Speaker 2>much do you think it enhances the fan experience? And

0:58:47.200 --> 0:58:49.320
<v Speaker 2>what I think he means by this, and maybe I'm

0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:51.960
<v Speaker 2>totally off base graphic design is you know a lot

0:58:51.960 --> 0:58:53.959
<v Speaker 2>of the materials they'll send to kids in the mail,

0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:57.720
<v Speaker 2>but also you see what's called like I feel so old,

0:58:57.840 --> 0:59:02.960
<v Speaker 2>what the kids are calling edits on Twitter, where the

0:59:03.080 --> 0:59:08.960
<v Speaker 2>schools will send kids these illustrated versions of themselves wearing

0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a team's uniform with like cool backgrounds and like cool

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:16.680
<v Speaker 2>splashy graphics to help kids picture themselves in that whatever

0:59:16.720 --> 0:59:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it is, UCLA, Clemson, Texas, Minnesota lifestyle.

0:59:20.520 --> 0:59:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, So, Dan, wouldn't this be essentially chances question? Here

0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a more superficial application of what we saw go on

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:33.200
<v Speaker 1>at Oregon over the sort of decade and a half.

0:59:33.200 --> 0:59:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's under the same umbrella.

0:59:35.160 --> 0:59:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it all kind of classifies. Oregon was

0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:42.400
<v Speaker 1>able to rebrand itself essentially, or brand itself for the

0:59:42.400 --> 0:59:47.000
<v Speaker 1>first time as the coolest program in college football, and

0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that paid dividends. It continues to pay dividends. Oregon built

0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:55.120
<v Speaker 1>itself up now into one of the top fifteen college

0:59:55.160 --> 0:59:59.120
<v Speaker 1>football institutions in America. I think anything that you can

0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>do to enhance the packaging of your program is usually

1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a net positive. So whether that's graphics on Twitter or

1:00:08.160 --> 1:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>cool video production tricks that you can get an intern

1:00:11.240 --> 1:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to pull off, I think all of that helps. I'm

1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>big on package.

1:00:14.680 --> 1:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>These schools have full on vlogs now.

1:00:16.600 --> 1:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I know. I'm big on how that packaging can help

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>can help elevate the brand of your program. And so

1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying not to sound too much like Darren Ravel here,

1:00:25.880 --> 1:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>but I do think branding goes a long way, and

1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it can certainly enhance the way that your program is

1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>viewed by potential prospects. That's what it really comes down to.

1:00:36.600 --> 1:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much it truly enhances the fan

1:00:38.720 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>experience other than indirectly. If you get better players to

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>come to your program and you start winning, then it's

1:00:45.120 --> 1:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>clearly a better fan experience.

1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's incredibly savvy to be to invest in

1:00:51.000 --> 1:00:52.480
<v Speaker 2>this kind of stuff, and I don't think it's for

1:00:52.560 --> 1:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>like Darren Ravel reasons. I think it's for like the

1:00:54.680 --> 1:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>most basic human reasons of when you were this is

1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>not that personal, even though it involves your personal life.

1:01:02.880 --> 1:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>When you were dating Kate and things got more and

1:01:06.880 --> 1:01:11.080
<v Speaker 2>more serious, and you were just thinking whatever about the

1:01:11.120 --> 1:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>relationship and where it was going. Essentially what you're doing,

1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>and this is what I did. I'm not going to

1:01:16.080 --> 1:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>put this on you. Is you think to yourself, could

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I picture myself with this person for the rest of

1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:25.360
<v Speaker 2>my life? Right for a long time? And that's not

1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>true of college football. It's not the rest of your life.

1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>But it's the act of picturing yourself and a major

1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>life decision. And these are means by which schools can

1:01:36.080 --> 1:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>say you don't need to just do this in your head.

1:01:38.560 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>We can show you what you're going to look like

1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>scoring a touchdown in a Clemson uniform. Or even though

1:01:44.880 --> 1:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>you live in Georgia, we at Ohio State are recruiting you.

1:01:50.040 --> 1:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>And we have this weekly vlog where you see what

1:01:53.480 --> 1:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>it's like to be a player in the weight room,

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>in the dorms, playing video games at practice. You see

1:01:59.840 --> 1:02:01.600
<v Speaker 2>what the coaches are like, you see what the support

1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>staff are like, things that you might not fully be

1:02:04.960 --> 1:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>able to experience during your unofficial or official visit, but

1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you get a sense for oh, this is how I

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>can picture myself in Columbus as a contributor to Ohio State.

1:02:16.760 --> 1:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And it's a way for the schools to do it

1:02:18.480 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>without spending basically anything just in the grand scheme of things,

1:02:23.040 --> 1:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>but caring about production value and graphic design and helping

1:02:26.960 --> 1:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>to plant seeds. Like if Jody with and I or Kate,

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, had the opportunity to say, here's a video

1:02:35.000 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>of what it's going like, all of the good times

1:02:36.960 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that lay ahead of you and be like, oh cool, sweet,

1:02:40.240 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>we're going to a lake house. Do yeah, they would have.

1:02:44.640 --> 1:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a it's a very savvy way

1:02:47.600 --> 1:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to sort of not just say things, but show things,

1:02:51.560 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>proof of concept.

1:02:52.520 --> 1:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>To a man and woman, but to a person, to

1:02:55.840 --> 1:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a college football fan. Most people that I've kind of

1:03:01.080 --> 1:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>informed on this matter talk to them about the infrastructure

1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that takes place, that goes on, that is in place

1:03:08.600 --> 1:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, that takes care of this sort of thing.

1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>People are always a gas by it. They always sort

1:03:14.720 --> 1:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of roll their eyes, like, oh my god, it's ridiculous.

1:03:18.200 --> 1:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>The longer you think about it, the more it makes

1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>sense though, and to your point, the more savvy it becomes.

1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's incredibly savvy. I think branding and packaging

1:03:25.640 --> 1:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff that we grow to hate it

1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>is important and whether it's college football or buying stuff

1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at the store. It definitely plays a factor.

1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>And obviously schools are showing kids what they want to

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>show them. They're not showing them any ugly side of

1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>anything or anything realistic necessarily. But if Ohio State is

1:03:45.680 --> 1:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>showing the kid from Georgia, this is the entirety of

1:03:48.840 --> 1:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the Ohio State experience in as much as we can

1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:55.600
<v Speaker 2>put into a weekly vlog. And then I don't know,

1:03:55.680 --> 1:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Purdue is saying trust us Purdue and were great. You're

1:04:02.240 --> 1:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>going to say I have a much better concept for

1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State. Even if I visit wes Lafayette, even if

1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I visit you know wherever, if Syracuse or cal if

1:04:12.800 --> 1:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>a school is going above and beyond to try and

1:04:15.840 --> 1:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>help you picture what your life would be like at

1:04:18.000 --> 1:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>that place. I think it's going to be a significant

1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>difference maker.

1:04:22.120 --> 1:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>All Right, Dan, we got time for like, let's say three.

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>More, let's bang time three more. Where we going these questions?

1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to have we done a lot out we have?

1:04:35.640 --> 1:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>We had a couple Willy Tagger questions. Let's go to

1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Matt Brown not one of at least the two Matt

1:04:40.760 --> 1:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Brown's working in college football media, okay, but a separate

1:04:43.800 --> 1:04:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Matt Brown, Jeff Robin Perdue need to do what to

1:04:48.720 --> 1:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>consider this year a success? The schedule looks light to

1:04:51.120 --> 1:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>start the year, which maybe, but this is a Purdue

1:04:55.320 --> 1:04:58.840
<v Speaker 2>team that loses a bunch, especially upfront on defense. What

1:04:58.880 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>do you what do you think is success in a

1:05:02.800 --> 1:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>year in which Purdue does not return a significant number

1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>of players on defense like Nick Holet did inherit last year,

1:05:09.600 --> 1:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the defensive coordinator for the Boilers.

1:05:11.760 --> 1:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>They finished strong last year, didn't they?

1:05:13.680 --> 1:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>They did?

1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>They finished strong last year and we had a lot

1:05:17.200 --> 1:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>of fun in this program talking about the singularity.

1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1:05:21.080 --> 1:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>You remember that they've got to build their defensive front seven.

1:05:26.520 --> 1:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>They lose a lot on the defense.

1:05:28.320 --> 1:05:29.360
<v Speaker 2>That was the strength of that team.

1:05:29.520 --> 1:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>That was the strength of the team. So I think

1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to some degree success will be measured by how well

1:05:34.320 --> 1:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the defense performs. If they get run over by the competition,

1:05:38.360 --> 1:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be an issue. But they got to

1:05:39.840 --> 1:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>find some way to rebuild in a hurry and keep

1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>themselves respectable on offense. And it's not just front seven,

1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>like they got issues at cornerback too. It's sort of

1:05:50.000 --> 1:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a defensive shit show. If I can curse a little

1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>bit sorry season. Yeah, so I think that will be

1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the most obvious point where Jeff Brown's gonna have to

1:06:01.480 --> 1:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>make some, you know, some magic. Beyond that, though, I

1:06:06.400 --> 1:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>would hope that they can continue to take a step

1:06:08.520 --> 1:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>forward on offense, because it feels to me like the

1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>quarterback position did get a little bit more consistent throughout

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the course of the season, and that's something that we

1:06:17.080 --> 1:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>hadn't seen at Perdue in quite some time. So I

1:06:19.840 --> 1:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>would say, just on a very very basic level, build

1:06:24.240 --> 1:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the defense to a point where it's not going to

1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>get blown away every time they step out on the field.

1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>They can keep the games close and keep the offense

1:06:33.160 --> 1:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>at the same level, or maybe take the offense a

1:06:36.000 --> 1:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>step further into the future here and get a little

1:06:39.440 --> 1:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>bit more production. I'm not looking for Purdue to go

1:06:41.760 --> 1:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like eight and four this season. I'm just looking to

1:06:45.240 --> 1:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>know Purdue to achieve a level of consistency that we

1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>hadn't seen prior to brom getting there.

1:06:52.800 --> 1:06:55.840
<v Speaker 2>If p Due makes the ball game, it's a successful year. Totally,

1:06:56.720 --> 1:07:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a totally successful year. The problem is if Purdue

1:07:01.440 --> 1:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>does win eight games again or gets to eight games.

1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>He's gone.

1:07:06.880 --> 1:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. Well, he's in West Lafayette.

1:07:09.400 --> 1:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>He's gone.

1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean there was, there were conversations last year, and

1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:16.960
<v Speaker 2>he's too good for his own good or for West

1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Lafayette's own good. But yes, I would be for as

1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>long as he's there, I would be optimistic that he

1:07:23.440 --> 1:07:26.640
<v Speaker 2>has done a good job marrying a lot of pro

1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>passing concepts with understandable looks for eighteen and nineteen year olds,

1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and has thus far done a very good job defensively,

1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>bringing Nicolet with him and taking advantage of returning experience talent.

1:07:39.840 --> 1:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Next question, Ryan odds that Georgia can overtake Alabama as

1:07:44.200 --> 1:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the pre eminent WOW college football program in the nation

1:07:48.560 --> 1:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>during Nick Saban's ten year. I would say, I mean,

1:07:51.440 --> 1:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't have to spend a lot of time on this.

1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Nick Saban has done what no coach has ever done

1:07:56.520 --> 1:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>at Alabama. So I'm gonna put.

1:07:58.840 --> 1:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>One up debt.

1:07:59.720 --> 1:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I to put it on a percentage basis, I would

1:08:03.000 --> 1:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>say less than one percent. And who in the Big

1:08:06.280 --> 1:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Ten West poses the greatest threat to Wisconsin over the

1:08:09.000 --> 1:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>course of the next five years? And why is it

1:08:10.840 --> 1:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Purdue slash Minnesota and not Nebraska.

1:08:15.200 --> 1:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it is Perdue or Minnesota, Dan.

1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I have a very convoluted answer. No, it's the

1:08:21.439 --> 1:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>answer is Scott Frost wins the Big Ten in year

1:08:24.320 --> 1:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>two and takes the job with whoever in the NFL,

1:08:28.000 --> 1:08:32.719
<v Speaker 2>and Purdue recruits well and manages to keep Jeff Brahm,

1:08:32.760 --> 1:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and Minnesota recruits well and manages to keep PJ. Fleck,

1:08:36.600 --> 1:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and they're able to find diamonds in the rough quarterback,

1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 2>and Nebraska has to hire Ba Polini back. I don't know,

1:08:46.160 --> 1:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>but then then Nebraska's a threat. Yeah, Bo Polini was

1:08:49.520 --> 1:08:51.880
<v Speaker 2>totally decent in Nebraska, but that would be a mess.

1:08:51.960 --> 1:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I would. I would basically say, if it's not Nebraska,

1:08:56.000 --> 1:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>it's because Scott Frost has succeeded, has even overwhelmed the

1:09:00.960 --> 1:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>expectations that have been put on him.

1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Keep your keys, your eye on the Big Ten West

1:09:05.840 --> 1:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>this year.

1:09:07.160 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be better and fun.

1:09:08.439 --> 1:09:10.599
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be better, It's going to be sneaky good

1:09:10.960 --> 1:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>sneaky entertaining to watch. Anyway, let's leave it at that.

1:09:15.160 --> 1:09:17.680
<v Speaker 2>What questions intrigue you? You want to go to lemons Est,

1:09:18.680 --> 1:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>We can go to lemons Es, Dan, Do you want

1:09:20.520 --> 1:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to go to We've got a lot of good questions

1:09:23.560 --> 1:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>here we did. Oh, I know what you want to go?

1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to go to Gilgamesh?

1:09:26.560 --> 1:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Gilgamesh? Yeah? I do?

1:09:28.200 --> 1:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Will you guys pick a team to follow in

1:09:31.040 --> 1:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>the Japanese X League. A Sahi Soft Drink Challenger sounds

1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>awesome or the Licksil Deers.

1:09:39.920 --> 1:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:43.559
<v Speaker 2>So, I will admit ty, I did not know what

1:09:43.560 --> 1:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the Japanese X League was.

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you look it up?

1:09:46.080 --> 1:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I did look it up.

1:09:47.920 --> 1:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>According to Wikipedia, the X League is the top level

1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:55.479
<v Speaker 1>American football league in Japan. Founded in nineteen seventy one

1:09:55.560 --> 1:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>as the japan American Football League, it changed its name

1:09:59.720 --> 1:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to the X League in nineteen ninety seven. Here's what

1:10:02.880 --> 1:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>you need to know. There are three divisions in X one,

1:10:06.160 --> 1:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>an X two, and an X three, which, as college

1:10:08.880 --> 1:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>football fans, that kind of sounds familiar, right m M.

1:10:12.320 --> 1:10:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Teams in the three tier league are split into East

1:10:15.520 --> 1:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and West and Central divisions. Two types of teams, one

1:10:18.920 --> 1:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>being a company team in which only employees of that

1:10:23.360 --> 1:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>particular sponsoring company may participate as a player, and the

1:10:28.160 --> 1:10:31.599
<v Speaker 1>other classified as a club team for which anyone can

1:10:31.640 --> 1:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>try out. So it's part college football, part intramural football

1:10:36.640 --> 1:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and part just like open club in the city football. Dan.

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>So, when I saw that this was a mix of

1:10:43.760 --> 1:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>different types of players in Japan playing American football and

1:10:48.080 --> 1:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>was called X, I was really hoping it was a

1:10:50.880 --> 1:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>play on the word ex And I was really hoping

1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that it was only open to former college football players

1:10:58.560 --> 1:11:01.519
<v Speaker 2>who were not good enough as essentially or had flamed

1:11:01.520 --> 1:11:05.519
<v Speaker 2>out or decided to start a comeback at an older age.

1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>And it was those players playing with Japanese players, Japanese

1:11:12.400 --> 1:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>college aged players. So I was hoping for Nate longshore

1:11:19.000 --> 1:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Lyle moy Vow, Austin Arnad, Ryan Lindley. It has to

1:11:25.120 --> 1:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>be doing something, Dan Lafever, Jevin Snead.

1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>There is very much a Homer at the bat slash

1:11:33.479 --> 1:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Springfield Nuclear power Plant element to this that I love.

1:11:38.000 --> 1:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>They also have relegation and promotion, which is a famous

1:11:43.200 --> 1:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>concept here among US college football nerds as to ways

1:11:47.240 --> 1:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>they could improve college football. I love everything about this,

1:11:52.600 --> 1:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like we need to pick a team now.

1:11:54.880 --> 1:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I am still not clear after reading up on it

1:11:58.360 --> 1:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>for a good chunk of my afternoon, which are the

1:12:01.960 --> 1:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>best teams in this league and which are not the

1:12:05.400 --> 1:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>best teams, but I'm thinking that the ones associated with

1:12:09.320 --> 1:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>individual companies are probably the more exciting variety. Okay, like

1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>the Tokyo Gas Creators. I don't know what that means,

1:12:18.600 --> 1:12:21.919
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if Tokyo Gas is like a company,

1:12:22.439 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>but a team named the Gas Creators is pretty damn

1:12:25.000 --> 1:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>funny to me. I can relate, ty, we all can, right, Yeah,

1:12:28.560 --> 1:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>so the Tokyo Gas Creators is up there in my book.

1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:36.599
<v Speaker 2>So you have IBM Big Blue, obviously, the Chess Master, right,

1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:41.839
<v Speaker 2>you have as or as one Black Eagles.

1:12:42.400 --> 1:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I like this one. I'm thinking Gladiator. I'm thinking Russell

1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Crowe yelling as one.

1:12:48.680 --> 1:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>The Nojima Saga, Mihara Rise, Okay, the All Mitsubishi Lions,

1:12:57.479 --> 1:13:02.960
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorites. Bowls just called bulls Bowls, the

1:13:03.160 --> 1:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>lakom Kobe Finney's. Yeah, okay, there's the Panasonic impulse. We've

1:13:08.920 --> 1:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>all had that.

1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>What about Club Hawkeye.

1:13:11.800 --> 1:13:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Club Hawkeye is pretty good, It is pretty good. They

1:13:17.080 --> 1:13:22.439
<v Speaker 2>they're head coaches, Nozomu Nishimura, and so obviously that's a

1:13:22.479 --> 1:13:25.479
<v Speaker 2>loaded conversation we'd have to have if we support it,

1:13:25.520 --> 1:13:28.639
<v Speaker 2>if we became Club Hawkeye supporters. But this it mostly

1:13:28.800 --> 1:13:31.080
<v Speaker 2>was just useful for me because I got to remember, like,

1:13:31.120 --> 1:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a seventy one percent chance that Cody Hawkins is

1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in this league, right, he almost assuredly. Cody Hawkins and

1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:43.160
<v Speaker 2>John Parker Wilson are like the Big Ben and Aaron

1:13:43.240 --> 1:13:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers and Tom Radio this.

1:13:44.680 --> 1:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So does this mean that if you want to play

1:13:46.760 --> 1:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in this league the company Mitsubishi has to hire like

1:13:50.080 --> 1:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Nate Longshore.

1:13:51.400 --> 1:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he has to work for them, and like the offseason.

1:13:54.439 --> 1:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Just tremendous, by the way, breaking news, Blake Barnett has

1:13:58.000 --> 1:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>just transferred to the Asahi Soft Drink Challengers.

1:14:01.439 --> 1:14:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great fit.

1:14:02.479 --> 1:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Ty Oh my god, this is I think it's I think.

1:14:06.360 --> 1:14:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean he'll he'll be in a battle with Riley

1:14:08.200 --> 1:14:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Skinner Chandler Harnish might have something to say about his prospects,

1:14:15.479 --> 1:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and don't count out Tyson Lee, Hi, dark Horse.

1:14:18.479 --> 1:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to know more about this league. I really

1:14:21.200 --> 1:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>need to know more about this league. We do have

1:14:22.880 --> 1:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>listeners that are in Japan who I'm sure are aware

1:14:26.240 --> 1:14:29.879
<v Speaker 1>of this, so please email in more details in Layman's

1:14:29.920 --> 1:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>terms so we can understand exactly what's going on here.

1:14:32.320 --> 1:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>But right now, right now, I think the as one.

1:14:35.240 --> 1:14:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Black Eagles are the.

1:14:37.880 --> 1:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Black Eels are. That's a strong name. Can we close

1:14:40.720 --> 1:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>out with a very quick question, yes, please tie this

1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:47.400
<v Speaker 2>from Josh? How do you feel about Lacroix as a beverage?

1:14:48.000 --> 1:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I have one in front of me. What? I literally

1:14:51.160 --> 1:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>have one in front of me.

1:14:52.439 --> 1:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>What flavor?

1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Lime?

1:14:55.560 --> 1:14:57.559
<v Speaker 2>And just you go straight up? Is it cold?

1:14:57.640 --> 1:14:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Is it in a glass with ice cold? I'm drinking

1:14:59.439 --> 1:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>it straight out of can dan because I'm a brute.

1:15:02.120 --> 1:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>How many cases of Lacroix do you keep on hand?

1:15:06.200 --> 1:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Why would somebody ask this question?

1:15:09.080 --> 1:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't personally love Lacroix. I think it might be

1:15:12.160 --> 1:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>a heated sort of opinion that people have.

1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>So here here is the genesis of me with Lacroix.

1:15:19.280 --> 1:15:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I have been to family gatherings where they've either had

1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Lacroix or there's like another brand, Bubbly basically the same thing. Okay,

1:15:28.240 --> 1:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was at Wegmans the other day looking to

1:15:33.240 --> 1:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>get some drinks in the house, saw Lacroix was on

1:15:36.760 --> 1:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>sale and decided I'd pick him up because we just

1:15:39.080 --> 1:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>recently had it at a family gathering. And since we

1:15:42.120 --> 1:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>picked it up now the solid wife said, hey, that's

1:15:44.080 --> 1:15:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty good, looked at it. No, no calories, sodium free,

1:15:48.400 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>no artificial sweeteners. That's what they tell you. That may

1:15:51.280 --> 1:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>or may not be true. But hey, that's not bad.

1:15:54.120 --> 1:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should get more of that. So Ever, since

1:15:57.400 --> 1:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>we live right next to Wegmans, we don't have a

1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>palette of it on hand, but at least recently we've

1:16:04.040 --> 1:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>been keeping Lacroix in the house in the fridge. I'm

1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:07.839
<v Speaker 1>drinking a cold out of the can.

1:16:08.280 --> 1:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I just it's for whatever reason, don't care for it.

1:16:12.880 --> 1:16:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Drink it at a like a cookout once or a

1:16:15.120 --> 1:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>barbecue for you people who speak English. It just made

1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>me thirsty, or I'd rather just have water.

1:16:23.360 --> 1:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I will say, if you're expecting something sweetened when you

1:16:26.720 --> 1:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>drink your Lacroix, I think you're more inclined to have

1:16:29.840 --> 1:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a negative impression of what it is, because then it

1:16:32.960 --> 1:16:34.479
<v Speaker 1>just sort of shocks you, like, oh, this is the

1:16:34.479 --> 1:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>worst sod ever.

1:16:35.840 --> 1:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Do you know about our pal Stephen Godfree's invention, his invention,

1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>his invention. No with Lacroix. Oh you're not really a

1:16:43.640 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>coffee drinker, But apparently to Lacroix enthusiasts, mixing a cold

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>brew and I don't know the ratio. Mixing a cold

1:16:52.040 --> 1:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>brew coffee, so essentially a more dense iced coffee with

1:16:57.760 --> 1:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>coconut flavored Lacroix can be quite refreshing, and he calls

1:17:02.960 --> 1:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>it a pensacola.

1:17:04.479 --> 1:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. Yeah, he was a creative and dapper gentleman, Stephen Gostrol.

1:17:10.520 --> 1:17:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So on this topic, it has been a while, and

1:17:14.439 --> 1:17:17.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening about an hour and fifteen minutes into

1:17:17.360 --> 1:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>this monstrosity, maybe you'd also be interested in a Lacroix

1:17:22.400 --> 1:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>related secret.

1:17:23.280 --> 1:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Verbal Oh okay, So first of all, how do you

1:17:27.720 --> 1:17:28.520
<v Speaker 2>spell Lacroix.

1:17:28.600 --> 1:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>You spell Lacroix capital la space capital c r o

1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:40.840
<v Speaker 1>i x Lacroix, Lacroix as a French say, mm hmm.

1:17:42.720 --> 1:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>We need a secret verbal subject, Daniel.

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:49.040
<v Speaker 2>So that the subject will be Lacroix, and some kind

1:17:49.040 --> 1:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>of like is it true that you're creating your own

1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>flavor in the lap of Lacroix, Like how how did

1:17:55.040 --> 1:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>you get involved with the Lacroix people? You know, what

1:17:58.240 --> 1:18:00.719
<v Speaker 2>are your early impressions of what you ever your flavor

1:18:00.760 --> 1:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>is going to be?

1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Anything Lacroix related for that matter.

1:18:05.439 --> 1:18:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anything, I think Lacroix create flavor, creation, but yes, okay,

1:18:09.240 --> 1:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>I can go. I think it needs I think it

1:18:10.479 --> 1:18:13.080
<v Speaker 2>needs to be specific, because then it'll make it seem

1:18:13.160 --> 1:18:16.320
<v Speaker 2>like there is this very specific rumor about me creating

1:18:16.360 --> 1:18:19.600
<v Speaker 2>a beverage for this beverage company, and it's not true.

1:18:19.800 --> 1:18:22.679
<v Speaker 1>We need a target that we haven't previously secret verbaled.

1:18:23.040 --> 1:18:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, uh, I'm looking, I'm scrolling through. Ty I've got it. Okay.

1:18:33.400 --> 1:18:38.040
