Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast - Why Clemson Tigers' Returning Talent Sets Them Apart This Season

Starting point is 00:00:00 Yo, does this mean Clemson is one of the two most talented teams in the entire country? You are Locked on ACC, your daily podcast on the Atlantic Coast Conference. Part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. ESPN has already released their way too early preseason All Americans for college football for next season. You could say the ACC is well represented, but it's really only a couple teams that are well represented. Thank you so much to the everydayers for making Lockdown ACC your first listen and your first watch today. We're available free wherever you get your podcast. We're free on YouTube.

Starting point is 00:00:43 We're part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. He is Kenton Gibbs from Lockdown Wolfpack. I am Alex Dono from Locked on Kaines on this episode. I'm sure Kenton is very upset about this, but North Carolina Tar Heels have extended head basketball coach Hubert Davis. A couple weeks ago, we were wondering if he would make. it to next year. He's going to be making it to 2030. And yeah, we're going to talk about these way too early football All-Americans. And like Kenton, I want to start here. I guess this was a mild

Starting point is 00:01:16 surprise for me out of all the quarterbacks in the country. I'm not going to complain about it because I'm happy he plays in the Atlantic Coast Conference. But Kate Klubnick, first team All-American preseason according to ESPN. Does that surprise you at all? Not at all, because like we talked about with yesterday's listing. Kay Klovenick was at the top of it, and did you get any argument for me? I'm never going to, I'm not the type of person

Starting point is 00:01:41 that's going to say something on air just to drum up controversy. When I said, hey, Kay Klobnik probably is the guy that's looking like the best. And on top of him looking like the best as an individual, he's also going to have the pieces back next year.

Starting point is 00:01:55 So where you're going to look around and say, well, damn, that Westco kid is a little fashion we thought. He hop on some ball a little better than we thought. Well, Brown might be. Well, Williams is Williams as Williams as William. He is the young man that is, again, he's shown the most last year and is going into the situation where there's the most continuity and the most talent around him. So I don't really see this as like a, oh man, I'm shocked and surprised.

Starting point is 00:02:21 This was to be expected. The only thing I didn't expect was maybe I haven't been paying attention to though. We're doing way too early All-American teams in February. We ain't even in much madness yet. I love it personally. It is never too early. I would have had one of these. If I had the resources that they have at ESPN,

Starting point is 00:02:44 I would have had one of these out the day after the season ended, if we're being quite honest. And listen, it's like Clubnik, and we've talked about them a lot in recent episodes of Locked on ACC, coming off a really good year last year, one of only two FBS quarterbacks with more than 30. 600 passing yards and 400 plus rushing yards. And, you know, he, like a game against Pitt, he put it away with his legs scoring

Starting point is 00:03:09 about a 50-yard touchdown. So Klubnik is a dual threat guy. And, you know, I don't know Kenton if he really even considered going pro after last season. It didn't seem like he did. But he's really going to benefit from being a super senior this year because you, coming off a really good season last year, but he's got so much continuity. And Clemson, in fact,

Starting point is 00:03:31 Kenton, they return more than 80% of their production from last season, leading the entire country, leading the entire country and I think it's 81 or 83% returning from Clemson. So that stability and that continuity. And of course, Clubbing is a big part of that coming off a good year. I think he's at a really good situation. So again, I don't necessarily think he's the most talented quarterback in America. I don't know if he's going to be the number one overall draft pick next year, anything like that. But he's a really good quarterback in a great situation. And I think that's going to translate to him very possibly living up to that way too early first team quarterback status.

Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah. And I think that there's, there is, you know, you talk about draft and all that stuff. That's, that's way far away. We ain't even got past this draft yet, but I will say this. Hey, again, it's never too early. Apparently, apparently. But there is something to be said there in the vein of, you know, is it possible to be successful with an all-new casting group? Yes, it's possible.

Starting point is 00:04:32 It's just exponentially less likely than being successful with guys who know the system, with guys who know, hey, he wants to be when he throws a bang-gay, it's going to be a little bit behind back here on my hip. And I know I need to be prepared to make that turning catch. Or whenever he's a little juiced up, the ball is going to go high a little bit. So I need to know when we start out big games, every throw, I need to be, okay. You know, they know those things. And that continuity means a lot.

Starting point is 00:04:58 So you're absolutely right there. in terms of that. And also, the statistics part of this thing is something that I think is greatly undervalued about K. K. Klubnick. Because so much of America does their eye test off of what they saw from K. K. Klubnick, and that may have been only Georgia. If your estimation of K's season last year was only Georgia, I have bad news for you. It only got better from there. If your estimation of K. K. K. Klubnick was that? You talk about him putting the pick game away. with his leg. He put the NC State game away with his legs. I know what some people are thinking it was a blowout. Yeah, well, when it was teetering and it looked like NC State was going to do

Starting point is 00:05:39 something potentially, he burst out with a, what was it, a 70-something yard run or 60-something yard run, where he goes untouched. So, you know, this young man is a phenomenal athlete, and he is figuring it out as a passer. He's figuring it out as a decision maker, which was always the thing that would get Cade in trouble. Nobody ever said, hey, he doesn't have the arm talent. He doesn't, you know, even when he makes the right decision, he can't put the juice on it. Nobody's ever said, oh, his legs just aren't there. He's a statue back there.

Starting point is 00:06:07 If he can't, you know, if it's not a first read is there, he's done. Nobody's ever said that about him. It's always been, can he make good decision? And it seems like his processing and his understanding of the game. And the words of the lethal shooter, I understand it now. He gets it. It's now clicking for him. Things are slowing down.

Starting point is 00:06:25 So you combine that with that continuity, with his talent. Oh, boy, we could be looking. he got a very special season for Clemson. And the reason why I asked at the top, if Clemson's one of the two most talented teams in the country, they're actually tied with Ohio State for the most way too early preseasonal Americans with three. Ohio State's got three, Clemsonsons, got three. The other two are on the defensive side of the ball. Let's talk about who else made this list from the ACC.

Starting point is 00:06:52 Let's go through all the positions. Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love, one of the first team running backs. That's ACC adjacent, not really ACC. Nicholas Singleton running back from Penn State, Jeremiah Smith, wide receiver from Ohio State, Alan Ryan Williams, I should say, wide receiver from Alabama, tight end Max Claire from Ohio State. Miami's Francis Maui Noah makes first team Maui Noah a right tackle, Kenton, who is, you know, I've been covering, you know, Maui Noah since the start of his college career. He was starting on that Mario Cristobal offensive line as a true freshman two seasons ago.

Starting point is 00:07:28 the young man is just built different. IMG Academy, originally from the Pacific Islands. That dude has had grown man strength since he was probably 14. That is one to watch it right tackle all the time. I am, you know, you talk about first round or first overall pick type of guys. He's the first overall pick type of guy. He is the type of guy that he is going to sure up somebody's offensive line for the next 10 years in the NFL. The question is, who needs the help?

Starting point is 00:07:58 Who? Because, you know, and again, I personally don't think that he would look good in any color, but Honolulu, would be personally. But he's going to be a fantastic pro. He's going to be a fantastic college player this year as well. Because, I mean, even last year, he has addressed all of the meaningful concerns at his game in a very powerful way. At this point, he's playing with the church. I mean, so he's got first overall pick talent. I think what's going to, he's not going to be a first overall pick. And it's primarily because, well, two reasons. one, usually people take quarterbacks, but two, that he plays, he's only got film at right tackle in college.

Starting point is 00:08:32 And, you know, somebody's going to fall in love with a left tackle. Left tackles usually go first. But yeah, Maui Noah has the talent, no question. Other first teamers, oh, man, the offensive lineman from Penn State, whose name I'm not going to try to pronounce makes first team guard. Thankfully, we're not locked on Big Ten. I don't have to try it. Jake Slaughter, the center from Florida, Caden Green, guard from Missouri, Spencer Fanon,

Starting point is 00:08:57 or Fano the tackle from Utah. Desmond Reed, Pitt, makes all purpose. And Pitt, by the way, is pretty well represented. They've got another one on this list. But Des Reed is, I'm glad you're all purpose. Whatever that is, you can line him up anywhere. He makes a spot in first team, and I'm happy for him. Des Reed is a Swiss Army night.

Starting point is 00:09:16 When you think about what he is, out of the backfield, when you think about what he is, when you split him out, when you think about what he was. I believe he started off his career as a return, man, or am I incorrect there? Am I making that? Yeah, you're right. Yeah, he's, I mean, literally, he's one of those guys that when he was in high school, I'm sure they didn't even have a position for the kid. They were just like, hey, you go out there, get Des the ball.

Starting point is 00:09:39 That's the play, okay? Do you want to go in motion when you get the ball or do you want to be in the back fitter? We toss it to you on the pitch. You figure that out, Des and we'll work around you. But no, seriously, it doesn't reach this phenomenal. He's one of those ones that's like, wherever you can get his hands on the ball, you do it. And you figure it out and you make it out for that. So defense now is where Clemson is very well represented in the trenches.

Starting point is 00:10:04 So defensive end, T.J. Parker, defensive tackle, Peter Woods, both way too early, All-American preseason. And Kent, and those are just ill-extrate, and they're not the only ones from Clemson who can play. But Clemson might have the best defensive line in the country. I'm telling you all right now, I'm telling you all right now, those two are going to make a third All-American on that defense. Those two are so special.

Starting point is 00:10:30 You have to watch out for Parker off that end. I have seen this kid play first. He is, he's built different. He's built different. Now, him and Wood as a combination. Him and Woods is a combination. They're going to make a third All-American and Sammy Brown. They're going to make a third.

Starting point is 00:10:49 I have no doubt in my mind. Oh, he's the next great Clemson line. You know, I mean, when you hear Ben Bullware, former Clemson grade himself, who's not their lineback coach, talk about him. It's like, for those of you who know anything about Ben Bullwere, he's already a very excitable guy. But when he talks about Sammy Brown, it's like a whole other world. Oh, he's a dude.

Starting point is 00:11:10 He's a guy. He's a, you know, because he really is that. He jumps out all over the film. But these two in particular, oh, man, I'm going to tell you what, you talk about one of the best defensive lines in the country. I truly think that the people. of this defensive line, if they can perform to the level that their defensive coordinator is known for getting his guys to perform at, I mean, multiple back-to-back first rounders, Abdul Carter, Chobrobson, and couple, you know, multiple guys who've gone very, very early. Michael Parsons is another guy that he coached. I mean this very genuinely. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of that out of Parker and Wood here. Because again, those two are special, but their defensive coordinator, I believe, is a ceiling razor for defensive line. You know, another, when we come back, another player who makes preseason All-America, another Pitt, Panthers.

Starting point is 00:11:58 So Pitt, more representation than Miami, more than Florida State, more than everybody except Clemson. You want to keep it locked right here. We also have some hoops talk coming up. We're only getting started on this brand new episode of Locked on ACCC. Keep it locked. I'm only getting started with prize picks. Guys, this is my spot.

Thank you for making Locked on ACC your first listen and your first one. watch today. For your next listen, make sure you check out our other shows, Kent and Gibbs and Grayson Boone, do an awesome job on Lockdown Wolfpack covering NC State. I host Lockdown

Starting point is 00:13:36 Keynes covering all things Miami. Looks like Miami's got a new basketball coach. We'll have an episode of the squad coming up later this week on Lockdown ACC as well. So Pitt, Kenton gets another first teamer in the way too early All-Americans, and that's linebacker Kyle Lewis, who's part of that Sharks unit, the Pittsburgh linebacking Corps. And boy, Are they going to need to finish the year strong? Because again, Pitt, last season, started off like Gangbusters, 7 and 0, then they went on to lose all of their remaining games, including the bowl games. So we'll see if that defense can carry them into a more consistent year this year.

Starting point is 00:14:13 You know, when I think about Kyle Lewis, he is a blend of what you think about when you talk about modern linebackers with those throwback guys, right? When you think about them, I guess it would be a quintessential Pat Narduzzi linebacker. Because if you play linebacker for Pat Narduzzi, you're going to be able to fill a hole. I have never heard the criticism of any Narduzi coached linebacker. Oh, yeah, he's terrible coming down. He doesn't know what he's reading. And Kyle Lewis is no exception to that.

Starting point is 00:14:43 That young man is the type of guy that when you talk about what makes the shark so special, it's a leader who's that cerebral. And not only is he a guy who thinks through the game at a very high level, he's extremely physical. But not only does he have those things, if you are going to be an All-American in today's football game, unless you're in one of those four positions, you're going to need to do a hell of a job in coverage, which he does as well.

Starting point is 00:15:06 So I'm not surprised by this. The young man, if you turn on Pitt film, you will see this young man everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I mean, oh, where is it? Who's that guy? Who's that guy that keeps being in the screen? What number? Who is he?

Starting point is 00:15:23 Can we please get somebody to block that number nine? guy and you can't because again he's all over the place he knows where he explodes to the ball so fast it feels like he knows where the ball is going before it even got so that's it for the acc first teamers they did have a couple of second teamers Isaac brown the louisville running back who uh you know there's some good running backs on the list brown obviously very deserving to at least be too deep on there i'm glad that they gave him a nod and uh duke cornerback chandler rivers who is excellent also makes that list. I mean, anybody you feel really got left out, Kenton,

Starting point is 00:16:02 and you think about some teams that were left out. I mean, you know, I know Florida State just went two and ten, but they got a talented roster. They don't have anyone in the too deep. You know, Louisville. Louisville's got a talented roster. They just have one guy on the second team. Miami's only got one guy and it's C.C. Maui, Noah.

Starting point is 00:16:20 So any teams or players you feel like didn't get enough love here? You know, I look at this list and I say to myself, it is way too early, so I'm going to let y'all cook. But there are still certain players that I'm a little bit surprised, didn't get any nods, that didn't get any looks in terms of, hey, he was a hell of a ball player last year. I know that they don't do all freshmen. And even if they did do that, he wouldn't count. But that corner that y'all had last year was phenomenal. I'd be surprised at you.

Starting point is 00:16:53 I'd be very surprised if O.J. Frederick wasn't a guy who found his way onto a postseason All-American type list next year. Because, again, he was the very rare bright glimpse on an otherwise lackluster defense. So I'm surprised that he didn't make it. You know, the Homer and me wants to say Brandon Cleveland at defensive tackle, he was a game record at times. But again, there's these guys who are here. They're all here for a reason. And it's tough to kind of take it away from some of these guys, but I will say this, come the end of the season,

Starting point is 00:17:29 I'm willing to guarantee this. You will see the ACC more represented at the end of the season than you do here. And it will be from all over the place, because there are talented individuals all over the place in this conference that we've talked about at nauseam, some that we've talked about at high level, some that we haven't gotten around to, but they'll pop out this year.

Starting point is 00:17:49 So we'll see. Yeah, I'm thinking about a couple of players that are going to have to earn it and could get in there. And postseason is the one that counts, right? It would be preseason. He's a prediction. Postseason All-America. I wonder about a guy like Miller Moss at Louisville.

Starting point is 00:18:04 I mean, he's joining the right program, the right head coach to bring out the best in a quarterback. That's what Jeff Brom does, quarterback whisperer. So Miller Moss is somebody that I look at because he's talented quarterback, stepping into a really good situation. Ruben Bain at Miami. I can understand him. Well, first of all, there's a lot.

Starting point is 00:18:23 of talented defensive lineman in America. If Bain had had the type of season last year that he had the year before, I think he would be on this preseason list, so he's got to bounce back and earn it. So there are other players in the ACC that I think can end up being represented here. Oh, of course. And if you're talking about transfers and what they could do and what they could be, Chris Johnson and Rett Lashley Scheme. I mean, let's be very honest.

Starting point is 00:18:48 He's a guy that anybody could look at and say, hey, he's one of those dudes. that you could easily say, oh, yeah, he's going to be fantastic. He's one of those guys that you, he could play a very similar role to what we saw last year with, with, or not Richard, but Richard, and Richard Smith. Richard Smith, yeah, Rashar Smith in terms of what he was to SMU, he could very easily be that for this team. And the one that surprised me the most, and I know, again, I'm okay with being called a homer here.

Starting point is 00:19:20 I'm okay with that. In terms of looking at the tight end position, Max Claire was phenomenal. No offense or buts about that. Imagine a world where Max Claire was asked to be his team's leading receiver. How would that have gone? That's a great point. There's a guy in Raleigh named Justin Jolie that had to do it all as a tight end because for whatever reason he was his quarterback safety blanket.

Starting point is 00:19:46 He was the snuggy that a true freshman named C.J. Bailey used. to tuck himself in and get warm at night. And he did so spectacularly, amazing guy for the catch, better at blocking the people giving credit for. And, you know, hands are angels off. So I'm very surprised that he wasn't, you know, even if he wasn't the starter, wasn't mentioned on the second team on it.

Starting point is 00:20:07 Coming up next, even though Tar Heels basketball hasn't exactly been up to their standards as of late. You better lock in your head coach until 2030. You better do that, Bubba Cunningham. We'll have that more for you next right. here on this brand new episode of Lockdown ACC. Thank you so much for making Lockdown ACC your first listen and your first watch today. We're available free wherever you get your podcast.

Starting point is 00:20:37 We're free on YouTube. We're part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. Make sure for your next listen, you check out Lockdown College Basketball. I mean, this is the time of year. And they do the show year round, but this is when they really flex. Isaac Shade, who's part of our ACC squad, Andy Patton. They both do an incredible job taking you around the college basketball world as we're about to die.

Starting point is 00:20:58 into the conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament. Now, a team that is a, you know, bubble if they're lucky right now for making that NCAA tournament are the North Carolina Tar Heels. They've only had one sweet 16 run under current head coach Hubert Davis. And that was the first season that he took over for Roy Williams. So, you know, the results, you certainly can't say the results have gotten better since his first year. They've gone in the opposite direction. So I find a couple of things odd here, Kenton. So not only was it just announced today that Hubert Davis, UNC basketball coach, is getting extended.

Starting point is 00:21:37 It's two extra years being tacked onto his contract that's going to take him through 2030, through the 2029, 2030 season. It seems like odd timing. And then actually they held on to this news for about two and a half months because the extension was actually signed on December 10th, which was the same day that North Carolina lost, I believe, to Alabama on that day. And that was the night when Bubba Cunningham, the AD, thought, we better lock up Hubert Davis right now for an extra two years. So there we go. You know, the most, here's the thing about this, right?

Starting point is 00:22:14 I could understand it if it was a, hey, we're getting close to your contract running out, so we got to do this. You kind of didn't have to. like you you kind of weren't at that point and also my biggest thought about it is where else could hubert have gone where else could he have one let's just say you say hey we're going to go ahead and you know just kind of wait it out wait and see because while they're in the middle of a winning streak right now and by by all means this is not hyperbole this is not exaggeration yes i'm doing my good deed and and you know complimenting tar heels and

Starting point is 00:22:53 whatnot. They are objectively, objectively, the hottest team in the ACC. That is a fact. Even if it's not against great competition, even if you're not talking about teams that are necessarily gangbusters, they do in fact have one of the longest streaks in the ACC outside of Louisville. Nobody else can claim before this more longer winning streak except them in Clemson. With that being said, I still would not, even in this moment, say, I have to give you this extension. I'd say, listen, show me something. Don't get me wrong.

Starting point is 00:23:29 We appreciate the deep road. Those were Roy's guys. Show us what you can do with your guys. I'm going to give you a general manager this year. Instead of money that I would pay into giving you a raise or giving you a boat, we're going to put that money into a GM. We'll get you all the supplies you could possibly need to succeed. And if you fail, then it won't be on us because we've given you

Starting point is 00:23:53 everything you need to be successful as the head basketball coach at this here, North Carolina, University of North Carolina. With that being said, this extension, if I'm Hubert Davis, I'm over the moon. Because if I, if I flop with the GM, now you still got to pay me. You still got to pay that buyout, you know? Everybody's talking about the NBA right now and the Pistons turnaround. You know who the real winner of the Pistons turnaround is? Monty Williams, he's getting paid $80 million to not do anything anymore.

Starting point is 00:24:23 So Hubert Davis could very well end up in that same, same very cushy gig of being paid tens of millions of dollars to sit on the couch. Yeah. And like you said, they just hired a GM for basketball. So it doesn't even have to buy the groceries. He's just got to coach them up. Somebody else is going to select the players, which I guess you can look at it as a good or a bad thing.

Starting point is 00:24:46 Because if, you know, if they select the wrong players, the head coach may get blamed for that ultimately. But it takes a little pressure. off of him. So we'll, and honestly, I don't know if you share this opinion, being the NC state guy, but I hope it works out because college basketball is better when the North Carolina tar heels are at or near the top. I truly believe that.

Starting point is 00:25:10 Blue blood program, you know, college basketball is not really college basketball if UNC isn't great. Well, I vehemently disagree with that, not because it's UNC, but because I don't believe that for any sport. I don't believe that college football is better when Alabama is good or when Miami is good or when Michigan is good. I grew up one of the biggest Michigan fans in the world. I would not say college football is better when Michigan is good, simply because to me, sports are at their highest when there is not only great parity, but there is no, the mystic and aura around teams no longer exist. I think that that's what's better for sport in my opinion.

Starting point is 00:25:48 But with that being said, I will say this. I want everybody in the ACC to be better. I think we all can agree to that. Everybody that's not named Duke, hey, come on now. Let's get your stuff together. Let's go back to the days of the old ACC. Donno and I talked about this from 2021 until now, we dropped off from seven teams in the conference.

Starting point is 00:26:12 And at that time, I believe the ACC was, what, a 15-teen conference? So basically, half of your conference, half. If you're in the ACC, congratulations. Being the top of your tail is going to the tourney. We went from that to like, hey, we got three teams and a possible, you know, me and Donno still learning how to play space together. So, you know, we're learning what a possible means. You know, it's, I'm from Miami.

Starting point is 00:26:40 So we play Domino's. We don't want to worry about the space. Hey, don't worry about it, Donald. Don't worry. You just haven't been to the right parts of Miami. Well, we'll get to where you need to go. to learn some spades. But in all seriousness, Bill, as much as I talk about not liking the Tarrios and all that, this is an ACC show. And in all fairness, I will admit, the ACC's better when

Starting point is 00:27:01 more teams are good. Hell, that's the truth. And they are a great shot at being good because of that history, because of the Michael George, the James Worses, the Rashid Wallace, all that is. They are one of our best shots of being a really good conference. So, you know, more powerful in that I know it's just two different opinions, but I'm going to stand in the paint on like, you know, college football or basketball being better when the historically great teams are great. Like I respect the whole parody thing, but like parity doesn't necessarily make for great ratings on TV. Like as I'm thinking college football, like if we could get- Lost his way without Nebraska being great. College football is lost this way because Nebraska's big.

Starting point is 00:27:44 Obviously, you know, we kind of moved on from the Nebraska thing, but could you imagine if, we could get a year where like all of the following teams are contending for playoff spots at the same time like Alabama, USC, Miami, Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State. Hell, I'll throw Nebraska in there because I, you know, I grew up when I was a little kid. I'm old enough to remember when Nebraska was consistently at or near the top of college football. Like I'm old enough to remember throw them in there as well for, you know, bleeps and giggles. Like, man, I feel like college football would be best. better if all those teams were like contending for playoff spots at the same time.

Starting point is 00:28:22 And I would say the same thing about the greats in college basketball. I feel like it would it would be so much more exciting for the casuals, right? I know I know the hardcore fans are going to watch, you know, no matter who's good. But for the casuals, man, if you could get, you know, all of the UNCs and the Dukes and the Michigan's and the Yukons, I know they're like a, yeah. But that's why I like the other teams, because the other teams, though, do they bring you parody in terms of, hey, it's just a different logo. All of these teams are different in Zaney and all these crazy ways.

Starting point is 00:28:57 Look at how Hawaii plays football. Do you ever see less than three wide receivers on the field for those guys? Like, it's so amazing. But I don't want to see them playing for a national championship. I want to watch Hawaii when it's one in the morning and I have insomnia. I know I can flip on. Oh, there's the Rainbow Warriors. with nine wide receivers lined out.

Starting point is 00:29:20 I don't want to see them in the National Championship. Let me tell you something. Give me the running shoe. Give me the triple option. Give me the wing. Give me that weird thing that they're doing that New Mexico with the, what is it? It's like the triple option, but they're shotgun all the top. It's freaky.

Starting point is 00:29:35 I love it. Enough of this pro-style mess. Enough of it. With basketball, enough of this backline defense. Give me some go, go, go off it. Give me a team that's going to take it out the rim. And immediately it's. running. Give me something different.

Starting point is 00:29:50 I don't want to see this double-brain action no more. We've seen it. I don't want to see no more horns sets. We've seen them a million time. Okay, give me something Zany and Wanky. That's just me first. Fair enough. Well, that'll do it for this episode. Whether you like parody
