With you. I sat here last night. I was here. I was here with Austin yesterday for old school, but then Harrison, Arns and I, um, and we laugh because big voice Bob did an intro. And it Harrison Arons. Oh, there you go. And then it was Harrison Arons. And I was like, Harrison, what are we doing?

What are we doing? Let's get Bob on track. Let's figure out what the proper pronunciation is. So we're working on that. We also have to change the intro for one-on-one so that Living Color, John Cena, and WWE don't all come chasing us for taking advantage of their musical rights, their musical rights. They want their money for us playing.

They don't mind us mentioning it. I guess they just don't want us to use it as a regular feature. But come on, you don't own the rights to, like living color owns the rights to living color. I mean, I'm like, chill out. I'm pretty sure Corey, Corey lived up mine is jamming out to him every day. I don't particularly mind. Before we get into the sports side of it, it's a busy sports day. Brock, I'll ask a question just last night.

Often what happens at night bleeds over into the daylight. And so there was a moment, I don't know how we, of course we go down. the rabbit hole late night, you know, 10, 30, 11 o'clock, we go down the rabbit hole all the way. And a thing came up that I didn't know, Harrison, we know that there's vastness. There's a vacuum between how Harrison was raised and how I was raised. Are you familiar with H.R. Puffin stuff? I am not. At least not by name. Yeah, I thought, I thought that H.R. Puffet stuff was a staple of,

Saturday morning, Sid and Crofts. I think it's Sid and Marty Cross. Saturday morning Americana Television. Along the lines of the banana splits, Speed racer, Ultraman, any of those ring a bell?

I mean, again, I've heard of these. They're a little bit before. I mean, my cartoons were a little bit different, I suppose. What were your Saturday morning cartoon? There's like a show called recess. I don't know exactly what played in the morning. My favorite was always Batman, but I don't know if that was played in the morning.

I often say, you know, my brothers and sisters were looking for cartoons. I was watching college game day or something. I wasn't as much into that, but, you know, yeah. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah, that is the story. My mom loved to tell a story that I was an early reader because back in, and again, back in my day, children. Sunday morning, Sunday morning newspaper, we would battle for different parts of the newspaper, right? Eight kids, two parents. So the paper got spread out there and then the rotation began. I would always run. There's a thing called the TV guy. I would. I would. would jump immediately to the TV guy. And my mom said, I learned how to read because on Sunday is

when the family chose, you get to choose in rotation. You get to choose the show that you, there's one TV in the house. So what show was going to be on the TV? And everybody, each kid got to pick, each parent got to pick, and they did a rotation. So kind of draft style, right? Well, I learned read early so that I could grab the TV guide and identify all of the sports that would be programmed in and that would be I would circle those are mine I would put I would learn to read when football's coming on and again this is back and this is before cable so there's four channels three and a half like ABC NBC this is before Fox so NBC ABC ABC CBS and then like the local channel, right, which never carried sports or rarely.

Every now and then it would carry like the Washington bullets every now and then. But you had to choose, right? You had choose. So I learned to read. She goes, yeah, thank goodness for sports. Because otherwise, I'm not sure Derek would have been as enthusiastic. Like, whatever moves us moves us. And it's good.

It's good to hear that, yeah, SportsCenter was moving the Bach needle early on. Well, it's funny, too, because as I think of it. about what conference realignment is doing, it would have messed my child about quite a bit. You know, I just naturally sports like times tables, I was pretty good at sevens for some reason. Right. Well, all football fans. Sevens and three.

Yeah, I could figure that out pretty well. Sevens and threes, right? Especially like for geography in the maps of the United States, I learned that by conference. I mean, that really was how I kind of was able to figure it out and do better than my classmates. Now you've got teams from the West Coast playing in the ACC, the Atlantic Coast Conference. So it's not going to help the kid. What about the kids? Did we ever think about that for conference realignment?

Do it for the kids. Do it realignment for the kids. That should be its own campaign. Do it for the kids. Light them up. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was, you're right in the sense that I know, that's how I knew first learning what Florida was, because in the old ACC, before Florida State.

So Florida State was not in the ACC. And the mid-the-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c was the Mid-Atlantic. It was the Mid-Atlantic Conference. And it was Maryland. Maryland was the northernmost, right? Virginia. No Virginia tag. Clemson and South Carolina alternated being in and out,

the North Carolina triangle of NC State, UNC Duke. Clemson and South Carolina would alternate in and out. So you would go, I mean, that was kind of how you learned where everything was. And then for rivalry sake, they were like, okay, let's, you know, let's put you in your tech in here. Let's do that. Like, let's do that. And they were like, no, not really. Not really.

I don't know. But you learned because you, you would see the old map. And they, when they introed sports, they would show Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and then Georgia, because of Georgia tech. And then when they had to reflip it and redo it to add. Florida State. It was like, oh, that's where you are. Okay, very cool, very cool. Did know, you didn't pay attention to any of this stuff. I learned where Louisiana was because they kept talking about this place called Grambling. Because that was a show that was on every Sunday morning because you got to see Grambling football. And I was like, what are we talking about?

In Louisiana, okay, all right, that's what that is. And then Notre Dame, to me, South Bend was the capital of Indiana. Like, it was the thing. Like, I, forget Andy. Like, I learned later, okay, the Indy 500. Mario Andretti introduced me to, no, this is the capital. So sports was certainly helpful in identifying talent and pool and all the other stuff. So it was, yeah, Fred Nader Horberg, you're speaking my gospel.

He said, yeah, there was even an HR Puffet stuff movie. So. Okay. So the, the, the, the, the, main characters was the mayor of this town, this mythical town. And it was a bit of a dinosaur that wore cowboy boots. It was a weird thing. There was no real explanation for it.

But his villain was witchy poop, this evil witch, who was not a very good witch. and kind of silly, right? And her major thing in life was to capture this golden flu that was in the possession of the boy named Jimmy, who was an actor named Jack Wild, British Jack Wild. But she wanted to capture this golden flute. And by any means necessary, and she failed miserably. Think Wiley Coyote.

Like everything that you. could do that was basic, she would ruin it. But they would have these random songs and then they would perform, you know, these songs in it and you just go, okay, none of it makes sense, but okay, cool. Like, it's what we have. Like, you don't know what you don't know. Like, you don't know, this is horrible TV. You, like, you don't know. There's something on it. It's all you had, right? It's all you had. And then, you know, you couldn't wait for the banana splits, right? Banana splits for carbon eyes. Well, they, you know, I don't even know what, what the animals were. were dogs, but I remember somebody telling me that maybe they weren't.

You know, and then the song was catchy and you kind of learn what it was. But that's when you look back at them and you look at them now, you go, wow, this is, this is, this was really not good. The sleastack. Yeah. And Mike, Mr. Mike D says, did you know that Bill Ambier was a sleet stack at one point? Yep. You're absolutely right.

That is hilarious. 0-884 says, yeah, recess, Doug, Thundercats, all great Saturday morning lineups. That whole thing. And then, Kopskear, you're right. Perils of Penelope Pitstop was a great cartoon. But was that the wacky racers? The wacky, wacky races?

with the introduction of Snydley Whiplash as a villain, as a major villain, correct me if I'm wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think there was. 5162 says, Kids today have the Big Ten Map commercial,

at least, yeah, where it pops up and shows you. Now, the, the spectrum is raw, because they put them really clear, those together when they're really not. It's like, wait a minute. And then it was hard enough when they added Maryland, Rutgers. But then when they added California and Oregon and Washington, it was just, you can see the people going, oh, we're going to have a whole other campaign. Like, we're going to have to have a whole other ad campaign because this just doesn't work. It doesn't work. Do you think that at some point, three years, five years, 10 years, that

they just realign. Do you think that's inevitable or do you think they're so stubborn that they're just going to keep getting it from? Boy, it's tough to tell because it's such a mess right now. You know, eventually, I would think, I don't know, I don't even know, you know, we're going to put a time frame on of a certain amount of years, but I would think at some point that common sense has to come back and make some sense. I've always argued that they've pretty much got to separate football from the other sports. Because there's generally, you know, a lot of other sports have a lot more traveling, a lot more games.

And it's all football based. So you're traveling all the way across the country. So I think that that definitely will come to point, you know, at some point. And then at some, I mean, I think the NCAA as the active kind of leader and an organizer of all this question mark could go down. Right, right. Yeah. Active leader. Yeah.

to that point that I think if that broke down and you have again they just college football's needed a commissioner for a long time in college sports in general because college football is kind of directing the rest of them um that I think at some point there's going to be some common sense approach to get to get teams to play close to their to their you know geography get those robberies back so yeah I mean I think it'll come full circle at some point I mean are we are we simple can we get to the simplicity that if you just identified the sport as a chapter, right? So college football as an entity, which would allow you, yes, you would still have member institutes who agree to

partner in those. Because college football is just once a week. It's once a week. So traveling across country for once a week, while a nuisance is doable. It's doable to go. It's doable to go. from from from Oregon to to Penn State. But not ideal, not ideal. And you can't say that cost, math costs are important. The budget is important if you're going to factor in flying 175 people from Oregon to Happy Valley.

It doesn't line up. So then you could say football could reorganized under football priority, right? Football priority, which means, again, you, football travels with a greater group than anything other than maybe a band, right, that you allow simple travel, short travel, quick travel, before you get into the long-range travel, right? So if by chance you want Washington to play Florida, it has to be a one-off, that's a revenue game. And that's also a great excuse, a great excuse, to have those things happen because if a team is traveling all the way across the country, it becomes an event. It also gives you reason to have actual

neutral site matchups, right? You actually can invite in some of these spectacular. Now, Nebraska, being in the middle of the country, has some advantage. It has some advantage. We'll allow Nebraska to use the advantage of being in the middle of the country. It's a lot of the country. It's It's much easier for Washington to get to Nebraska than it is Florida. It's much easier for Florida State and Miami to rebuild the rivalry by flying to Lincoln and back and forth. We know that Nebraska has no problem traveling to Miami. They set the precipice for how this was going to be done. This is what traveling to Miami is supposed to look like.

We're going to come to your crib and fill it with red. That's how it should work that way. And then if you said for baseball sake, where you have more games, it's more in week's stuff, and that you have series, right? So the belief is if you have conference series on weekends, only have them on weekend. Midweek in conference is more difficult. It's doable if it's Nebraska, Indiana.

Not so much if it's Washington, Maryland. Right? You can regionalize it because, hey, we're smart enough to schedule. And then we can get it right, basketball. Do we really want the widespread, hey, you have to travel from California to Maryland? Do we really need that? I don't, I don't, there's a way to do this. I look forward to the day where somebody logically gets in the door and goes,

okay, we're just going to shake this thing up and try to get it right. Like, that is my hope. That is my full hope. Phil, he asked the question, are we talking about Hannah Barberer's wacky races with a grave ape? Yes, sir. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Wacky races was phenomenal. Phenomenal.

But it was that kind of thing that Captain Caveman, the Jetsons on a later run, I think there's plenty of space for Saturday morning. Of course, you know, Schoolhouse Rock. Like Schoolhouse Rock was kind of a jam. And then they put in like the Jackson 5 animated. They put in the Osmond's head and animated.

They try to animate the Partridge family. Not necessary. The real Partridge family was fine enough. Were you a Partridge family guy back? Did you? No, I didn't watch the monkeys. No. You didn't watch the monkeys? No.

I don't know what you're all doing in the middle of the country. I don't know what you're all doing. I don't know. I, I, what was your? See, now I need the text on and tell me what the Saturday mornings were. Like, I, Saturday morning TV before football, was ever, this was before game day was, was the move. It was, it was cartoons.

I mean, because are, our elementary school kids watching game day instead of cartoons and educational programming? Is that? Not all of them, but some of them. Some of them. That would go on to cover sports might do that. Bach, Nick, Jake, Jake. I mean, I think if it was available, that's probably what I would have watched.

But I know that there's some old heads out here who are just like, man, we, that was the meeting place. And if you were going to go to a friend's house, Transformers, yeah. Eric, so Eric's a half a generation behind. Dukes have had Gilligan's Island was certainly that. Yep. Yeah, and I'm just a bill is, okay, can I say this honestly without getting too political? Can we bring back schoolhouse rock?

Can we bring you back? Can we, there are people in the country that need? That might be a good idea. Can we? I need to see if we can get permission to play a different schoolhouse rock every day. On the ticket. On the ticket. I just,

there's so many people that don't know how this works. They just don't know. They don't know what works and what doesn't work. They don't know why. They just, oh, can we bring it back? Y'all, give me a vote. Like, maybe I need to buy the rights for each show just to play some schoolhouse route.

Like the numbers? Like Lucky 7? Oh, yeah. Right? It's a jam. That's a jam. That's a full jam. Like, I, you know, figure eight.

It's a double four. Like, we need to, can we bring it back? Oh, Bach. I'm a dreamer. I'm just a dreamer. There's some matchups. It's wild card playoff day as, as, as, Culligan, Jay, I'm coming back.

And Culligan, Jay, let me. say this to you. I owe you an episode. So because I'm going to be doing the 11, I'll be doing 11 to noon and character will be doing noon to 1, four days a week. And then of course on Wednesdays, Anthony Lionheart Smith will be in studio. Some of these one-on-ones will be topic-based. And that whole thing of the rotator cuff conversation still needs to happen. Like we, that needs to happen. And Culligan, Jay, you asked the question, who do we need to talk to? You're talking to him, but we need that Culligan support. We need that Culligan support to pay.

Yeah, I'm a big, yeah, I'm a big Miss the couch. You got to stop it. Can't help it. Conjunction Junction needs to be. I literally, Conjunction Junction Schoolhouse Rock, I need, I need, I have to find out, like, what the rights to play in. each day. Like how much could I play? Could I play a song each day? Like maybe sponsor schoolhouse rock. Like we need somebody to sponsor schoolhouse rock. Like this schoolhouse rock moment brought to you by. Right? Like that needs to happen. That needs to happen. We need a Saturday morning flashback. Like just of all the Saturday morning shows. And each day,

this Saturday morning flashback is brought to you by like it's just y'all are out there talk to your bosses you know what you want to hear but I think schoolhouse rocking that needs to happen bro

oh now I'm obsessed them I'm on like down the rabbit hole we go it's in full like it's a full thing I understand it but it's a thing right Tulane Tanner you're right it's just it's so good you know, you know, it just needs to happen, right? Yeah, Phil says I remember a lot of after-school cartoons and not just Saturday mornings,

but here's the other thing, though, Bach, they're used the after-school specials. Were you in the loop for afternoon specials? Not necessarily specials. These were made for TV one-hour. 90-minute specials that they would create, and they were all like topic-based, right? You know, teenage alcoholism, you know, learning how to drive and paying attention. Like they would have these. There was one that it started as an absolute special and became a full movie.

But Princess Quarterback, do you ever hear that? No. Okay, so Helen Hunt, they put this together. Helen Hunt wanted to play football. and they wouldn't let her. But she was a quarterback. But she won the job and actually got into a game and then started to lead the team. Princess quarterback, Helen Hunt, as a teenager.

There was a bucket so good. It was so good. Oh, yeah. Agi, is you right? Zero, my hero. Man. Yeah, the whole Fat Albert thing, the Ghostwester's cartoon was underrated. there was a show what was it

Kristen Lincoln asked the question what was the show with Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky and Jordan I do remember that Schoony Skir says a captain plane it Teenage Mutant Turtles and then he men and then football yep that was like that that that was a baller Saturday morning yeah it was called all-stars with Jordan and Gretzky is what 2-2-24 says they fight crime or what

well I we're going to have to find it a little break. We're going to have to find it on the break. And then America, there's a time, Bach, where America was divided. It was fully divided in, well, in thirds. So I stay true to my third, right? A third of the country

was from Gilligan's Island, Marianne. A third of the country, Bach, was Team Ginger. and then a third were the lost souls that were just there for the Queen Bee. So do you know the people from Gilligan's Island, I don't know. Professor?

Yeah, for the most part. The captain, professor. Yeah. Marianne, you know the skipper. Did you know the couple? Do you know who the couple was? I can't remember their names, but I can remember. Oh, that's, that's what I'm going to task you with over the break.
