Look at those neckties and collars and everyone is professional. Look at y'all. You spent money on haircuts. Nick Butler said his wife said he needs to use LinkedIn more. This is not what she meant. What? Hey. She's in here too.

This is why you get specific with your genie wish. Okay. My genie wish is in here too. Every genie is a contract lawyer and a DVI. one at that. Welcome back to school, CKC15. Cover those

ender blocks up. Hey, as always, a reminder for those of you who are on LinkedIn, this is not a joke. You can ask anyone. If you are on LinkedIn and you are

using the full cast to listen to this podcast at work, I will give you a fake job recommendation for any job you want. Just let us know. What about contract

assassin? I don't think that's LinkedIn. I think that, I think that all happens on Hinge. I think if you pivot it the right way, I think if you frame it the right way, you see, you're saying, you're making this sound like a joke. And I'm trying to tell, what I'm trying to tell people is that if they need,

hey, Dowell Harmon just got laid off Dowell, do you need a job recommendation? I'm your reference, buddy. I got you. I'm just exploring the space. That's all. No, but you're, you're talking it, you're taking my very real offer and turning it into a joke. I would never do that on this show. Not once.

Anyway, unlike Ryan, I take your employment seriously. I don't take my own employment seriously in fairness. You want to talk about lawyering. Spencer and I were debating Warhammer rules with Jack and Dan like seconds before we pressed live. Yeah, but it turns out we've screwed them all up. Every single time we play this game, we were like, oh. Wait, so does that mean that Jason is not in the overall lead? No, he's still the overall.

I would argue there's a different rule we use that greatly disadvantaged me. Yes. So in other words, we forgot one rule that really would have helped Jason, but he forgot one rule that we remembered one rule that would have hurt him. So I think he's coming out even in the wash. Jason, I have Jason Harris in the comments. I have known you long enough to where I could probably actually be your reference at this point. Yeah. So that's not a problem. If that is the same Jason Harris, if it's a different Jason Harris, I apologize. I'm going to do the thing. Oh, yeah? Welcome to the shutdown Foolcast.

You are listening live. Did you say Foolcast? I'm speaking Spanish to, El Fuca, El FuCast. In vivo. En vivo! In vivo! Why can't I pin comments to the stage now? I don't know.

Yes. I just wanted to make sure everybody saw Vic say value-sized bag of pop fries. That's all. Okay. Yes. Welcome to the shutdown. on fullcast live. We're coming to you live today, which we normally don't do when we're recording this podcast and distributing it. But kind of an unusual week. A couple things happened.

So we just decided, hey, man, in the words of, in the words of a disgrace sex pest, we'll do it live. We'll do it live. Okay, wait. That's a, that's a great choice. I don't know that I want to go that direction. What is the, what is the phrase to whom an explanation is needed, none will be sufficient? I don't know if I want to go that direction. Oh. this is going to be one of those shows it's going to start it holly holly i just want you to know you're going to be very mad at the playoff game and i i it's not my fault is it because is it because my strategy didn't work well we'll get you tell what my could you tell what my strategy was from the list i'm going to guess nobody's strategy worked um it's mixed i'm going to say mixed results

we can jump into it if you want we can jump into it if you all want but i just wanted to get that out there that i'm not i have not been targeting you it just didn't work out great for you You're telling me I'm going to be unhappy with my playoff picks on the forecast. That's new. I did have one little semi-timely news note that Michigan coach Sharon Moore said he looked forward to text

messages to Connor Stallions being released in full. I really hope they're just Connor Stallions texting him photos of vacuum cleaners. Just like that's a good vacuum cleaner. Should I fix that one? Should I fix that one? What if it's just Sharon Moore texting him like new PRs he's set in lifting.

I did lat raises with 55s today, bro. Fight me. What if it's true? Yeah, I look forward to these texts being released and everybody's seeing the progression of my gains in real time. Yeah, bro, listen, this 531 thing, I was skeptical, but look, I'm swole as fuck and these numbers can't stop climbing. That's all.

Otherwise, we're just waiting for football. That's it. we're very very very close right that and additionally um i got to listen to my favorite thing which was not to endorse a podcast on a podcast but i listened to one of my favorite episodes on the year which is always bud elliott doing SEC win totals because it's just bud going garbage these guys garbage under under it's the most wonderful time of the year it's like the first if the first robin of spring is bud's a trash program there's also that and then there's also bud evaluating whether other um media members are actually keeping track of accurate win

totals or not because bud will find the homers who are saying oh yeah everyone in this conference is making a bowl math don't math the math does not math one year didn't we try to do this and we gave everybody in the acc coastal a losing record by accident but also it was the accee coastal that's entirely plausible on our part i'm sure we've done that a number of times i would actually argue that bud has gone the other way i'm sure the math, but when you're listening to him, it feels like you go, is everyone in this conference going to have a losing record? Oh, Bud's math maths, but he is sure as shit going to let you know if your math doesn't math. Yeah, no, attitude-wise, it doesn't feel like it maths. I'm sure it does,

but when you're listening to it, you're like, did he just pick 15 straight unders? Bud's like an emotional CPA where he's like, listen, your feelings are stupid. I mean, picking 15 straight unders, you will remain in the game longer than if you pick 15 straight overs. We've told this story on the program of the first time I met Bud, right? I don't remember. Oh, this is involving the person who knew Doug, right? Well, we didn't have to name names, dude. Jesus. Sorry, yes.

Never mind, now I'm not going to tell the story. Look what you did. Look what I did something wrong? Oh, boy. Mike Caledino. Am I the only one who doesn't watch college football but listens to this podcast? No, Mike, you're not. Yeah, for instance, me.

I'm one of those people. We would watch college football. Should we dive into our, oh, wait, do you want to get some podcast business out of the way first, or do you want to dive into the playoff pitch? I don't know if we've decided, did we decide whether or not to convey this? Let's just do the podcast business we know about. We have two items that I'm confident we can talk about. One of them is in Jason's bio on here. The other one.

God, nothing. I thought Spencer was going to start singing. I fell asleep at the wheel. This is like watching a beach volleyball team where one person is not paying attention. Mid-season form. Squirrel! Okay.

Podcast business, podcast business, podcast business, what's a business, podcast business, Jason read his book, it's way cool, and you should go read it and I'm going to get here and talk about it. Hey go, Jason. That sounds so fucking lazy. Jason, I'm not comfortable proving at this point that any of us can read.

What, what did you read? Oh, well, I wrote it. This guy's a reader. Like, what an achievement that is. Hey, the audiobook is out now, folks. It's available at Supporting Cast, via which you can get it in any podcast app. It's also available at shutdownfulbooks.com.

You can get the file uploaded into any audio app, and it's coming soon at, you know, Audible and Apple Books and all the normal companies. We don't like normal around here. Are we like weird companies? But yeah, it's available right now. A production handled by Michael Ray Sarber, who's on the call. Guitar, handled by Michael Ray Sarber, who's on the call.

Yes, I did the narration. My daughter did the artwork that you can catch a glimpse of that someone in the Discord described as if Eldon Ring had a pizza hut. I haven't played Eldon Ring, but now I'm disappointed. It doesn't have a pizza hut. I think you get the gist. Also, apologies to Mr. Twittles, who is in the chat, and who I have forgotten to do my turn on Marble Snap right now.

Oh, shit. Yes, I'm taking on commenters right now. Okay, wait. What date is the Alliance Week turnover? I can't figure this out. On Friday. I have lost a round to Mr. Twittles. It's on Fridays.

We got plenty of time. But, yeah, audiobook is out now. It's good. We put our whole ass into it. There was something else I was going to mention about it, but hey, I bet I'll get that in a future edition of podcast business. that sounds great jason i look forward can someone get a transcript of the audio book so oh i remember what i was going to say if at any point you have sent me a joke about like

can you have ryan do the audio book in the silliest voice he can think of here's a rule you have to buy it oh shit because because ryan did not do that that's right you see what i'm saying that's right let's make that my fault let's here's what it was no no i wanted 200,000 yeah that's it yeah okay there we go we'll make you a diva what an asshole um i couldn't afford the talent speaking of new york liberal carpet bagger ryan nanny speaking of divas you can see us and the hand of the dirt divas live with the o gs at the raleigh sports podcast festival which is if my hand of the dirt divas we mean stephen hartzel will be singing selene dion correct uh not the one you not my heart will go on that's the way it is he's tricky like that um that is god

like a week and a half away this point sure sure we have a show in 10 days it's fine um the top what somebody remind me we settled on backyard disasters is the catch all what uh something we we settled on backyard disasters i was i was just made it this stupid comment on twitch oh okay Waiting for the moment Holly learns all her team choices were non-unique and she's drafting live First of all You have to see my strategy to understand

Second of all That is the game We'll get there Are you calling me skill issue on playoff picks in August? Ooh Ooh Oh Really?

Damn Okay Do you think I can't open Blue Chip ratio? You can go to Pre-owned airboats. com tick I think some tickets are still available for Raleigh.

Fuck you, Vince, student. Is that a lot? Nope. That's not a lot of tickets. So if you want to come, get on it. Get your ass in gear. Get there. Server's going to be there.

Maybe Server will bring his guitar. Server's got a show the night before, too, folks. I don't think Server will play guitar for you. Maybe he'll let you pose for a picture. If the money's right. He said if we got a party bus, he would play the party bus. Well, that's true. I forgot about that.

you can also find out about our Birmingham show which is in October at pre-owned airboats.com pre-owned airboats.com your source for all news in the known universe. If it's not there, did it happen? Hard to say. Frankly not. Channel 6, do we want to do a quick plug?

Oh, yes, we do because we are currently in the middle. We're in the middle of something real fun. Yeah, we're in the current, we're in the middle of our annual swing through the every game preview of the SEC where you can get a little piece, a little breakdown of every single

god damn matchup that this conference will put on the field. This is a fun exercise because we did it last year and then the conference exploded and it kind of, doing these kind of reminds me of doing the old version of 40 for 40

where we actually did an individual podcast for every bowl in that About two-thirds of the way through, we start hallucinating. Yeah, there's absolutely. And we're kind of, we're kind of edging up to the hallucinatory precipice right now. And today's also, there's, if I can, if I can brag on you for a second, sincerely. Yes. Whoa.

The Eli Drinkwitz through line that you are crafting in this series of SEC previews, it's like got a real Lus Kronica's vintage EDSBS field. I just love. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. It's just so, it reads so immediately as an emotional truth. And if you subscribe to Channel 6, you'll see what I mean. We're sending Coach Eli on a little adventure this year. How many chapters of this saga are out and how many remain?

So we, because of the size of the conference, we have had to split this up this year. Last year, we did three parts. This year, we've had to split it into five. Jesus. So here's the thing. When you add two teams. Big conference. Well, here's the thing.

Via back-in stats, we learned last year that most of you are reading on mobile. And 2,500 words is a lot to scroll through on mobile. So we're trying very hard with various degrees of success to keep this at 1,500 words or less. Because even 1,500 words is a lot to read on a phone. And something like some crazy high percentage, like 80% of you are opening this email on phone. So we're trying to be cognizant of that, and it's, it's still, it's still a lot of for us.

Um, but we have, uh, we have put up part, we've put up three parts, right? Three parts and, uh, the fourth part, I say right. Tomorrow. Yeah, fourth part is coming. Uh, fourth, the third part dropped yesterday, which is Tuesday. Fourth part is dropping tomorrow, which is Thursday. And then, oh, Jesus. Next week, you get open.

and then football. What? Yeah. Cool. I have a friendly recommendation for you all to make your lives easier next year. Instead of doing the 2025 every SEC game, you should pick one of those like, I don't know, years from like the 70s when it was like there were only 10 SEC teams. They didn't even play the same number of conference games.

Sometimes it was like, I don't know, we got five conference games this year. That's it. Just like really give yourselves. we're playing we're playing jd's balloon academy of film in alabama yeah yeah um all right so that's channel six uh i am writing over at my newsletter assigned on sub stack i am currently researching and writing a piece about what i believe is probably the only sports trophy named after someone who was present at the kennedy assassination and that's all that's all i'm going to tell you right now

I feel like that's a good tease There's a moon Oh, I have Man, every response I have to this Is going to get me arrested That's fine This is a safe place They can't arrest you on LinkedIn

Is my understanding No, that's very true Server, you got anything You got anything you want to throw in here? I mean, you kind of told everybody about mine Before I had the chance Sure, sure I'm sorry, I'm just kidding

What a fuck I don't want to reinforce that Jason's book is fucking awesome most of you have read it if you haven't read it yet you should read it if you can't read like me this audio book will be a real treat and it was super fun to work with and him on this and I'm super proud of the

of what I did on it but yeah I'm playing a show the night before the Podfest in Winston Salem at Hoots Hoots is a super awesome brewery that got rid of all their brewery stuff because they wanted to be a super awesome music venue which I think is pretty cool so come see me then and then come see me at Sports Podfest

and then come see me and Jason and others at Quil Ridge Books the next day. Awesome. Does that conclude podcast business? Do you all concur? God, I hope so. Podcast.

Wait, which one's concur? At the end of it, you're right. We should make him sing it backwards like he's summoning Satan with an Alvin in the Chipmunk's record. I summon Satan with every full cast. That's true. And Satan's like, God, this is un-listenable.

Satan's like, God, this fucking try hard. I've unsubscribe. to 10 times in this podcast. What the fuck? This is Hill. And it just keeps going. All right. So it's time for the 2024-20205 full-cast playoff pick game to catch everybody up who did not listen to a prior episode and understand how this game works. I asked everybody on the show, including Cerber, to send me their list of 12 playoff teams. And before they sent me their list, I wrote my own list of 12. the rules are as follows if anybody submitted a team that was duplicated by anybody else both participants and indeed in a few cases all participants lost that team i'll go ahead and

everybody had ohio state on their playoff pair ohio state is not eligible so for those schools they are not only not on anybody's individual list they cannot be drafted later they are not eligible to be in the playoff whatsoever um as a result of this canceling process we have 15 fbs teams that have been eliminated from playoff contention per these very stupid rules they are in no particular order ohio state texas notre dame georgia kansas state memphis oregon michigan michigan penn Tennessee, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU, LSU, Clemson, and Florida State picked by multiple members of this show,

therefore ineligible for playoff consideration. That means we all have a lot of fucking work to do. And so what I'm going to do is review. I did a randomized draft order. We're going to go serpentine style. Cerber has the first pick. then Jason, then Holly, then Spencer, than me, and then we'll reverse it. Everybody has a number of teams left to pick.

Holly, you have the most teams left to pick, but we'll get to you in order. Thank you. Wait, so my, wait, so my strategy worked, why did you say I was going to be unhappy? Oh, oh, was your strategy to get all your teams knocked out? Okay, so should I, should I reveal this now? Oh, yeah, there's no harm in revealing your strategy now, absolutely. Okay, so my, wait, when you. And you say I have the most teams left. What do you mean?

You have one, only one team you sent in did not get doubled up. Oh, I thought you said I had the most teams on my list left. You have, you have 11 teams you will need to draft from the rest of FBS. Okay, my strategy didn't work because what I was doing for the record is I assumed that everyone else would overthink this. Ah, okay. And was going to, and was going to get weird and down and hipstery and down in the G5s. So I went through and picked every team that. I that I that was on my list had to be on buds uh had to be on in the top of buds blue ship

ratio for this year and I only let and I left and I left out like five teams that I don't like okay I'll tell you the amount of overthinking that I did was I looked at um bill's latest SP plus and I went by percentage okay I just okay see I didn't think anybody would do that I thought everybody would go down I thought everybody would be like pulling for K-state sure what did you do I just I just went and got the Vegas odds. I was like, I'm going to pick the best team so no one else can have these teams. Okay. And then I didn't pick certain ones that I didn't want to wind up with. Sure. Just in case. Sure. But I knew someone else was going to do this. Because as soon as you told

it's like, but be careful. If you don't pick them, someone could wind up getting Georgia. I was like, no one's going to let that happen. That was very, very smart. Double, double think by Ryan. Ryan, could you drop the list in the private chat? Of the teams who have been eliminated? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I will do that right now. Drop that because I will. Yes, folks, we have a private chat. Yeah, there we go.

It's mostly nude. Mostly. For a small fee. So here's what was left after the carnage. I'm going to go in draft order. Serber, you have two teams that made it through on your playoff list. And if somebody's on an existing list, we can't pick them either. Serber, you have Utah and Appalachian State.

I fuck what both of these picks are because I actually believe that these two teams have a better than good chance of making the playoff. Okay. Jason, you also have two teams. You, you will be rocking with Missouri

and Boise State. Okay. So those two teams are locked in. Yes, you have those two teams locked in. Server and Jason, you will each be picking. I know what my team is. Are you fucking kidding me? Nobody else picked this?

Holly, Holly, Holly, what is the one team that survived unscathed from your list. It's Ole Miss? No, it's not Ombuds? It is Auburn. Why would you guys do this to me? I'm sorry, I should have put Old Miss. Ole Miss is in the eliminated category.

I forgot to add it to the list, but yes, Ole Miss got picked by three teams. Wait, so does this mean I'm locked in with Auburn as my first pick? Correct. They don't have to be your number one pick, but they are, yes. Auburn is the only school that you selected that nobody else selected. Swimming Totoro, that's not how you spell Totoro, but also you have this backwards. I picked Tennessee to make sure they got knocked out.

You got very close to Tennessee working. Spencer was the only other person who picked Tennessee. Thank you, Spencer. You're welcome. Spencer, you have. All right, so my strategy was a little different. Okay, go for it. What?

Yeah. So I attempted to take half my list and knock out obvious ones. Yep. And then I took the mostly the back half, I think like the last five to knock out or to claim teams

that I thought could be could slip through the cracks. Low margin TCU types who might rip off like a spectacular year. That makes sense. Yeah. And as a result,

you have three teams on your, on your playoff roster so far. SMU, Iowa State, and NC State. Yes. Two for,

two for like barely plausible reasons and then one because our right right sure yeah that's a really good how yeah um also also the nc state uh the nc state box at homefield apparel dot com god damn there's some good shit in that it does look it looks spicy um okay i have six teams alive and that is because i i i went almost the opposite way i almost went the no commissioner hold on let's hear let's hear what the teams are before you get excited okay because i went almost the opposite way i picked i picked a handful of teams at the top of my list that i was like either i don't want this team to get in and i'm hoping to cancel them hi georgia or i am i feel like if i don't have if if nobody picks them i would feel stupid for not having them

so I put them on the list. So I have the following six teams, Miami, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, UNLV, Wisconsin, and Kansas. I don't hate that. It's a trick. That's the kind of shit that I thought you were all going to do. So to be clear, I can't tell if I overthought or underthought. For instance, this means I can't. pick Kansas right correct oh you can't if wait you can't if you have a draft pick ahead of

Ryan can no no anybody we we can't overlap at all oh all of our 12 teams have to look completely different way so now you have to start over again now because now I can't remember yeah I'm going to put I have put in the link to the spreadsheet this is a great game where you can you can you rattle off real quick the teams that are eliminated by being on a single list now by on a single list yes I can do that Utah, App State, Missouri, Boise State, Auburn, Southern Methodist, Iowa State, NC State, Miami, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, UNLV, Wisconsin, and Kansas. I will also note a couple of listeners did send in their own playoff picks ahead of everybody else. I did not incorporate their picks into it, but I will be keeping them on the side.

I appreciate your confidence in the event that they end up having superior playoff picks to all of us, which is entirely possible at this point. Oh, yeah. So, does anybody have any questions? These are, you can see in the spreadsheet there are 12. You're telling me multiple people pick Penn State to make the playoff. In a 12-team playoff? Oh, right, right, I forgot.

And technically, it was only you and Jason. And we were both thinking the same thing. I don't know how much money you will let me lay on Penn State making it. how much money that's only in crick that the only amount that's larger is the amount i would bet on them losing a home playoff game oh that's that's what i want them to do that's the dream i want them to be the first team to lose a home playoff game again that's notre dame yeah yeah we're gonna we're gonna keep up in this fight i guess still it happens um does anybody have any questions before we start drafting not with productive answers yeah yeah possibly a uh a like did you say this

team and then we just sort of redo that whole thing yeah yeah i want to wait tell me who else picked old miss i want to know um you sirber and jason i'm sick fucks yeah i think i believe georgia ohio say and texas were the only schools that everybody picked yeah that looks right damning mm-hmm yeah okay so here's how we're going to do this because we have so many fucking teams to pick when it's your turn I'm going to let you pick two teams just so we can start chopping this down. A two-headed snake.

Yeah. So, Cerber, you are first up in the randomized order. You have two teams on your playoff list. You can pick teams three and four. Everybody except these 29 teams in FBS is open and available to you. I might fuck this up right away, but... That's fine.

Also, obviously, because we're doing this in a lot, live chat like you are free to look at like you can do the prices right thing where the chat just tells you who to pick i don't care about that at all oh no no no one dollar stop yelling okay i don't trust any of you okay oklahoma's available right oklahoma is available wow okay um and then that was a big hater gap of us oh shit virginia tech is taken yes um Washington. Washington is available. I'm going to take Washington.

Okay. Great job. Jason. Two picks, please. Did you say Miami's taken? Miami is one of my precious six teams, yes. Okay. The Arizona Wildcats.

Okay. Good pick. Good pick. The Texas San Antonio Roadrunners. Okay. Also very good. Great. Arizona and UTSA are off the board.

Holly. You have Auburn. You will have to... Shut up! You'll have to find 11 friends. There's an ointment for that. You have been tasked to finding 11 friends for Auburn. Oh, let's get weird.

Let's get weird in two different directions. Colorado and Maryland. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Oh, I kind of, you know what? The Maryland one, spiritually, I like. I like that a lot. Okay.

Okay. All right. Spencer, Team's four and fire for you, please. Oh, boy. Wait, what has been taken so far? I'm sorry. This round, wait, this round or overall?

This round, we've seen Oklahoma. Read them all again, right? This round, we've seen Oklahoma, Washington, Arizona, UTSA, Colorado, and Maryland taken. Okay. All right, I'm making nothing but the nakedest, boldest moves here. So booty, booty cheeks out, I am going to select. USF What the fuck?

I know. Let it happen. I know. Let it happen. Too far. Are you at Tame and Pallet? Because you need to let this happen. Not far enough.

Too nude. Yeah, too nude. Disagree. I will take them and I will also take the Utah Utes. No, they already picked. I knew this would happen.

I knew this would happen. You said U.S.F? Just take Utah State. He did say U.S. F. Oh, I'm not taking Utah State, brother. Oh, oh. Okay, so USF is the bottom of the barrel for you.

USF would be close to the bottom of the barrel. I will also go ahead and take... This is difficult, y'all. This is challenging. Welcome to the full cast, Spencer. I know. I mean, like, you know, if you were going to put some thought into it, which I should stop doing immediate...

Yeah, that is a mistake on your mind. Yeah, stop. Yeah. Yeah. let me see you know what I'm going to continue a theme here UCF

oh okay I4 belongs to Spencer yes I'm gonna I'll go ahead and seal off I4 the one I4 goes through this tummy tum okay that leaves me because it's serpentine style

I now get to pick four teams the bulk of my of my playoff is going to come in here I am taking Iowa off the board as a as a pick As my pick, yes. I am taking Iowa.

I am also taking Louisville. Oh, you took one of mine. Louisville belongs to me. Boy, now we are going to get into some dregsy situations. No. I am going to take Oregon State because I believe in the Pact, too. And because I wouldn't take Washington State from Floyd, obviously. and okay i don't like this but they're not on the list yet i'm going to take us c southern cow that

i was kind of waiting to see how long we were going to do before somebody hit that particular bullet it's it's too i have to wait too long so i have to take i have to put a little bit of stupid yeah they wouldn't have been there yeah by the way when we um listeners i'm going to ask you for something and I know that this is going to be hard for all of you, but I think that when we post this on Instagram, we should not post any context for our products whatsoever. And if you're, if you're listening to the show right now, I know this is asking a lot, but I want you guys to play along. Be cool. And we'll post it. I don't, I don't want to hear anything in there, but great picks, coach. Do not explain the plot. We'll post it with one of those meaningless

Instagram captions like, do you agree? So we'll post it with a picture of Paul Feinbaum's face. We won't, we won't say Paul Feinbaum said anything. we'll just have Paul Feinbaum's face with quote marks. What if we do it click hole style and we're like Paul Feimbaum said what? Shack apologizing to us because he did not know how great our picks would be.

Yeah, thank you Bill H. I'm going to count on everybody to repost these with do you agree? Do you agree? Yeah, thank you. And get the YouTube thumbnail of me looking really confused. Oh, what a rare bird that is.

USF sucked me off. Yeah. Uber driver. All right. answer. You have five teams. You need team six and seven now, please. UNC and Texas Tech. Okay. Ooh. That's a lot of... That's interesting. Activity. Okay. A lot of...

Like a perfectly preserved dead bird on the sidewalk. I will say this. A lot of interesting group of five teams still on the board. Still in the line. Yeah. Yeah. Holly. Your fourth and fifth picks, please. um man West Virginia okay because solid mama's calling yep

um oh man dare you dare you take pit this hurts my teeth no I'm going to do something much I'm going to do something much worse Nebraska ooh this is good I love it yeah not bad I think that's a great like in the vein of Spencer's like

who could have like a T-Sense C.U-ish year? I like that a lot. Speaking of, did TCU get taken? I still have them all over. TCU is still available. They're still around. Interesting.

Okay. Okay. Probably still not touching them, but yeah. Jason, five and six for you, please. NC State and Auburn are taken. Is that right? NC State is taken by Spencer and Auburn belongs to Holly now and forever.

Auburn belongs to me. You heard that. All right, so Oklahoma State is available for me. Oklahoma State is available. Happy about that. Okay. I thought about Oklahoma State, but I couldn't I don't have that much bile.

Jason, did you say Tulane? Yeah, give me two lane. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Server, we're all the way back to you. You get to make four picks this time as we run this all the way around. Okay, can I wamp? Is Arkansas available?

Arkansas is available. That's fucking mold. I'm gonna force win the shit out of this dynasty season. They're going all the way. Okay, let's not examine. and why Arkansas is still available, but yes, they're still on the board.

Be careful about that, Tim. Yeah, buddy, you've got so much motivating to do. You've got to lay hands on these people. Simpton Arkansas season, my PS5 started crying. Is Florida still available?

Oh, that was next for me. Oh, my God. They sure are. Jesus. All right. Have fun with that schedule. No, listen, me and Richard Johnson are like the only people on Earth who think that Florida might turn it around this year.

I think with that schedule, they could make the playoff it. two and ten. They'll certainly argue in favor of it. Greg, listen, Greg will make this happen. Who's got it worse than us?

No! Might be the only thing he's good at. All right. Arkansas, Florida. Two more from you, Cerber. Is Pitt available? Pitt is available.

Pit is always available. Man. Yins know I'm going to take Pitt. Okay. And finally. come on take your take your local team you got to do it

oh no I'm not taking them the gamecocks are available right yes they are yes they are give them to me okay you're loading up on the SEC teams that are you know there that are there

they just happen to be in the SEC that is true their whole brand is like you're an 8 and 5 in the SEC we should get to do here's why I think that's a savvy pick if the SEC puts I don't know four teams in

it'll be some squirly ass team like this that gets that last spot yeah like a nine and three florida that upset georgia or something like that yeah or in oklahoma that upset texas yeah yeah yeah okay uh okay so serber you are up to eight teams yet uh down you're almost there bud jason it's back on you ah excellent um so next on my chart which is going just by the numbers Just to be clear, Jason's got every team he wanted on this big board, if you ask. Um, so I'm going, all right, I got TCU. Okay. I will say next, according to the numbers.

And when I say this word, it doesn't count as a pick. Okay. Yeah. All right. This is a non-pick zone. Liberty's next on the board. Right. I understand.

You are not picking Liberty, but you, you are establishing that Liberty would be a numerically sound pick. Liberty. I'm noting, I'm noting that a call it 13 and no Liberty is making the playoff. Right. They play nothing, but nothing. Give me live on the C.W. Cal Golden Bears. I have just taken both ends of the greatest bowl game in history.

Jade not for Heisman. That's going to make you very popular with a certain subset of our listeners. So that was savvy of you. This is all politics, as we know. Holly, teams six and seven for you to pick. All right. I am going to bet A-historicly on a lightning-fast Willie Fritz turn around and take Houston.

I love that pick. Okay, yeah. It's a value. And then to make up for that very sensible move, I am going to go with my heart and take my beloved Toledo Rockets. Okay. A good choice, too. Also, those are two excellent choices. Spencer, you have seven teams, you need an eighth and a ninth. And you better take North Texas. Seriously, Coach.

Actually, Jason, I will. I will go ahead and select my own beloved mean green because you know, we're flying out of the radar this year to think I got a lot of doubters and a lot of haters. But frankly, we tune out all that outside noise, mostly because we're listening to the smooth sounds

of bitches brew by Miles Davis. Nobody else believes y'all, but Coach believed in y'all. Coach, you are good at tuning. That's right. We're totally good at tuning. That's right. So we're going to tune this thing up. We're going to go one, two, three, four, and see how the band sounds.

And, you know, we like the way we sound in practice. That's a very conventional time signature coach. Yeah. So I'm going to go ahead and select them. And then, you know, I'm feeling pretty nice. Ah, geez, I'm feeling so nice. I think I'm going to go ahead and select the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Okay.

All right. I wasn't listening to any of those picks. What did you say? He took North Texas and Minnesota. Thank you. Oh, man. Minnesota is online. That classic duo.

Yep. All right. Let me make sure my meticulous records are updated. We're good. We're great. Okay. I'm looking at, so I have two teams left to pick. So after this, I will be out and I will just be administrating. I'm looking. I think I have a pretty good range of teams in different conferences, different geographies. So I'm just going to get, I'm just going to do whatever I want here. First up, I would like Jacksonville State. Ooh, that's a good one. Thank you. Love it. That's a really good idea. And then just to stick with the theme, I'll take James Madison.

Duke's mentioned. Duke's mentioned. That gives me, so I am now out. My playoff teams are in no particular order. Miami, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, UNLV, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Louisville, Oregon State, USC, Jacksonville State, and JMU. Spencer, you have three schools left to pick, but you only get to pick two here. So you will be picking scraps at the end of this game, I suspect.

Okay, that's fine. I love me some scraps. I am basically going, my greatest indicator of whether I think someone get the playoff is not necessarily quality. it's how easy their schedule is and I'm going to try I'm going to take a moon shot here all right I'm going to take a moon shot I'm going to pile me up a garbage plate

I'm going to be selected the Rutgers Scarlet Knights I don't think that's where garbage plates are from but that's fine it is I think you're doing it enough state New York think I think you're thinking the fat sandwich is fine fat sandwich whatever you're all regionally vague to me Rutgers yeah

okay I, I, I, I, I just want to recognize that New Jersey and upstate New York are geographically distinct places. No, they're not. Go birds. This is all propaganda. Rutgers, okay, Rutgers is one. Who's your second team in this round? The second team I am going to select, I can't fucking believe I'm doing.

Do it, do it. Dude, they're going to be off. It's that much worse than Rutgers? Yeah, it is. Is it the FIU Pipples? If you're going just off strength of schedule, you have a lot of bad options. has anyone selected the bear cats yet no

because they're quick by Scott Satterfield are you okay I okay but their schedule is their schedules easier than most than that okay

no I've put it down I've put it down do like to take it back you can say anything and I've put it down you laugh if you can if you can we do

if you can trade Holly for Auburn after we've already absolutely not then you have the Tommy Tuberville tour of Italy. I do think what Spencer is pulled off here is we are about to hit the point at which Satterfield is done trying to get fired and is trying to get hired. Satterfield is entering into entering his contract year, so to speak.

This is, this is his molting season. It's time to go be somebody else's problem. Okay. Holly, you have, you have seven teams and you get to pick two more now. whew um this is both a vote of it's the ac c and a genuine vote of confidence in a coach i think who has gotten a lot of uh raw deals in his tenure i am taking the duke blue devils okay manny dyes okay i like that pick um now for the complete opposite opinion of both program and coach, but you can really count on him to do things that surprise and displease you at the

same time. I'm going to, no, you know what? I'm sorry. I was going to pick Oklahoma State here, and I can't bring myself to do it. Jason's got them anyway, so we're a lot of them. Well, never mind. That's a great reason, as I was about to say, I'm taking Old Dominion. Okay.

I was going to reach for the Oklahoma State hat and then pick the Old Dominion hat. Got it. Got it. If you want a visual there. In my mind, that's what happened. It was awesome. Okay. Holly, you're, you're getting so close.

You're going to be able to round this out very soon. Jason. I don't hate this group, I got to say. No, you have a very, you have, if I call your group snazzy, will you receive that as a compliment that I intended it? They're plucky. Okay, that's fine. They're plucky. I like it.

Jason, you have, this will be picks nine and ten for you. I am going to take San Diego State. Mm-hmm. And I am going to. to take the other member of the Tribulation Force, Washington State. Okay. Okay, so officially... I think that's going to be weird.

Jason, that makes this... You are also Floyd's playoff picks, so congratulations. Get in here, buddy. Washington State. All right, we're almost there, everybody. Thank, again, hey, everybody, thanks for staying on this call. Really important that we have these... Is this fun for y'all?

Let us know. Is this great? Yeah. Yeah. It's better than what... you were going to be doing. It's better than work. The shutdown forecast is better than work. Um, source.

Wow. From you of all people? What's work? Okay. Ooh. Serber. You have eight teams. You get to pick your last four and finish up. Okay. I'm trying to figure out who's available in the Big Ten still. A lot. A lot is available

in Indiana. You want to see Bala Brick at home? Indiana. UCLA server we're firmly at the do you believe in dreams Purdue Northwestern Northwestern

Wait Who picked Who picked those assholes Can you be more specific Where to begin? Okay Penn State got eliminated early Yes Penn State was

Yeah I was just making sure Penn State is me and Jason's rival group Penn State is my and Jason's fire Remember? Yeah that's right I just wanted to make sure that someone I didn't like who was actually really good wasn't like

No, no I'm going to take Indiana Okay Was Minnesota available? Minnesota has been taken by Spence Minnesota has been taken by Spencer Got those Okay, I'm going to take UCLA

Because I like Sean Foster Sure, great That dude's awesome Okay In the ACC Is, did someone take Boston College? No, no Boston College is available.

Go birds. Take the birds. Okay. Okay. And, hmm. Man. What about,

what about Nevada? Is that? So I have UNLV. You want Nevada diesel. I want the Wolfpack. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, sure.

The Wolf Space Pack. Okay. So. When this goes up on Instagram, here's Cerber's Playoff Selection Group. Utah, App State, Oklahoma, Washington, Arkansas, Florida, Pitt, South Carolina, Indiana, UCLA, Boston College, Nevada. And the Assembly says, do you agree? Question. You know what's making this a lot harder on the fly?

What? It's not having a fucking clue at a glance what conference most of these teams are in a floor. I've decided to liberate myself from that concern. I looked, looking at my group, so have I. Yeah, it's not important. And you know what? I don't think the college football playoffs gonna give that much of a shit either

if I'm being honest. Yeah, y'all have to remember this too, do you? Yeah. The committee's just going to remember, is that a big 10 SEC team? Yes. If not, they don't make it. If not, proceed to step two.

If not, they must be 13 and 0. If not, trash. Okay, Jason, you have two teams left to round. out your selections so in the video game there are a few teams that punch way above their weight each and every time you simulate Boston College just went off the board that's one of them Oregon is the national champion every year so it would be unfair for any of us to have Oregon another team that just wildly overperforms in the video game I am taking them the Texas State Bobcats okay pairing them with

UTSA quite a quite a duo there and of course finally the team that when I play this game, most overperforms, that would be none other than, of course, your Colorado City. Great bit, coach. You know, bet on yourself. I love it. And I have us last because I love that motivation factor, right? Like, hey, hey, hey, you assholes.

Nothing is given. I don't even believe in us. Nothing is given. Okay, Jason, your 12-team playoff is Missou, Boise State, Arizona, UTSA, Oklahoma State, Tulane, T-CU, Cal, San Diego State, Washington State, Texas State, Colorado State. I got so goddamn many states. And when you read that through, you got to Cal and I was like, ooh, I flinched. I don't think you have, is Tulane the easternmost school that you have?

I think they might, listen, we're locking down time zones. You know what I see in this list? I see people who have each worked six jobs in six different fields. Yeah. I see a lot of different skill sets. I see a lot of love along the way, maybe a little heartbreak. Friday night 9 p.m. kicks. Friday night

We're here to entertain When nobody else got you I see a couple of safeties Who were probably on the practice squad yesterday That's fine we just you know Rotate you in next man up yeah Next man up yeah Okay

Holly you have three picks left to make I'm going to fuck over Spencer And let you make all three of them before he goes last Y'all Owned All right Let's get weird I'm very big 12 and big 10 forward, and I guess I see a reason to keep that going.

Um, okay, I don't love this coach, but I can't argue with results, and their schedule's not terrible. Let's throw Wake Forest and they're below Old Dominion pointedly. Yep. Below Old Dominion. And what's that? Two more? Yep. I said this is a joke.

Has anybody picked Illinois? No. No. I'm torn between, would it be funnier to see Beelma bring it home, or would it be funnier for Northwestern to make the playoff a season after firing Pat Fitzgerald? Northwestern. And continue their upward trajectory. Additionally, for Northwestern to make the playoff while playing on like a beach, seaside volleyball court.

Yeah, no, that's it. No, not just a seaside volleyball court. Half there, half at Wrigley Field. They're going to host a playoff game on Lake Michigan. Northwestern noted chaos team okay great northwestern oh and you have one more fuck you pinker to pat you have one more pick to make oh man michigan state is still available i feel i should i know you don't have to do anything with that i love no i i love the coach and i think michigan state is getting sued by the trivia company yeah they are they are by the way getting sued

for the hitler for the hitler's thing michigan state did yeah yeah and michigan state's like no we didn't do the Hitler thing. Stop talking about the Hitler thing we did. An unauthorized use of the Hitler thing. So now they're in trouble for both the Hitler thing and the copyright of the Hitler thing. You guys wanted Hitler so bad, you stole him? Yeah.

You know what? That's some Indiana Jones shit. Argentina did that shit years ago. I have way too many Big Ten teams already, but this is a very strong case for Michigan's Okay. Okay. Hang on, hang on.

Is there a plucky G5 you want to pick? That's the one thing I think you could maybe use one more. There's an absolutely insane G5 pick I want to make, but I really like, I'm going mostly. Fresno is available, right? Yeah, that's on my list. Derek Mason doing a turnaround job at MTSU is on my list. Trey Delfer's UAB?

No, it is not on my list. The Troy Trojanutes. I like that you did it like Sid Myers to the location. Trent Dilfer's UAB. Trent Dilfer leads UAB for at least one more season. If you want to go with Plucky SEC upstart Vanderbilt,

you can pick them here. No, oh, Jesus. Not, that's not plucky. That's plucked. I'm sorry. Yukon. Yukon is still available if you want an independent. Let's,

I think I'm going to go with, let's have, let's have the team pull together and win one for their, for their, retired two early skipper. Let's go with Fresno State. Okay. And have them trying to show out for Jeff Tedford.

Okay. A lovely pick. Spencer, you're going to get the last pick. And then per full cast tradition, we will be briefly open for trades for anyone who wants to make one. Spencer, who are you rounding out? Reminder that your last two picks were Rutgers in Cincinnati. who dare join that august company uh we went to the minards and there was a sale we got ruckers and we got minnesota hey i think you should throw georgia tech in here i'm just going to throw that out you know uh they have like the toughest schedule that doesn't matter so i'm kind of against it fine but it's the toughest schedule in the ac cc which includes Maryland as we know

he's the tallest boy in kindergarten I'm the head coach at North Texas I respect the strength of schedule in the ACC that's fair suppose nobody took Purdue why I'm yeah I'm not let's I'm gonna go I'm gonna do it

I'm gonna do it seriously somebody ought to take Troy no they reminisce over you yeah I'm gonna do it Troy okay there we go Troy Trojans. They got a public's now. Oh, shit.

It's over. Damn, it's over. They've happened for a few years. Damn. Are they getting above themselves? Okay. Okay, so. Oh, my God.

I'm facing Jacket, Dan, and Snap. I'm fucked. Oh, shit. Holly, you're 12. Auburn, Colorado, Maryland, West Virginia, Nebraska, Houston, Toledo, Duke. Old Dominion, Wake Forest, Northwestern, Fresno State. I like it.

Spencer, yours. S.MU, Iowa State, NC State, USF, UCF, UNC, Texas Tech, North Texas, Minnesota, Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Troy. Parish, briefly for a moment, consider how nightmarish the state of Texas will be. If Texas Tech, North Texas, and MacBron's UNC all make the playoffs, but Texas and Texas A&M do not. Y'all can all suck my ass. Oh, sorry, and SMU does as well, but Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M. If any of these teams were rivals, yeah, that would be a big deal.

more like the bone star state okay wow if anybody wants to propose a trade now is the time to do so at the end of this episode i will be locking in your picks which has incredible amount of authority since this matters so much do you agree do you agree i'm feeling very protective of my weird little bunch of hatchlings over here i love this group of guys yeah got a lot of group well we love this group of groups of groups of guys. My only thing is if anyone has a team whose name has the word state in it, that they

would like to dangle, I would listen. Fresno? Oh, would you like Cal? No. Jason. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah? Like what I'm hearing. Okay. Okay. Do you want to make that trade straight up, Fresno State for Cal?

Wait, which conference did Cal go to again? ACC. That's an ACC program. Yeah. Yeah, give me that. All right. Thank you. All right. Handshake. All right. I love it. That trade has been executed.

Serber, Spencer, anything y'all want to do? Any moves you want to make? Jason, how many non-state teams do you have now? One, two, three, four, five. Not many. That's too many. No. I like my group of guys.

I like my group of guys. Okay. Okay. It's a great group of dudes. Server. Any, any edits? I feel like I panicked and picked Nevada. I don't really want them, but I'll keep them.

That's a compelling trade offer. Does anybody want to make server an offer for Nevada? Server's just doing this money ball style. Yeah, he's trash. I want him gone. Give me a third. Yeah. Yeah, I think one of the games is going to get canceled, so.

Okay. All right. Is that it? Are we done? Anybody have any other states they went rid of? No, that's it for me. Oh, God. I really like.

Oregon and Jacksonville State. I would listen to discussions for Oregon State. Oregon State. I would trade you. I would trade you. Oh, dang, nobody did pick Michigan State. Could Jason swap something on his list and get Michigan State? I won't allow it.

I'm not that desperate. I simply won't allow it. Got to the bargain bin? I would, I would trade you Arizona for Oregon State. That's a hard bargain. It's a little pricey. That's, that's, that's, that's. All right, here's what I'll do.

I'll trade you Arizona and Tulane for Oregon. state and Jacksonville State. You're crazy. No. Okay. I see that I see, I see, I see, I see, you see the back of nations. The lawyer is at work.

Ryan Nanny, coastal elite, trying to exploit the working man yet again. Always trying to cheat people at Arizona. That's what the big 12 did, isn't it? Monsters. Does anybody want Missouri? They're not going to be a big value. I know they're a great pick.

I'm happy to have them, but I... Yeah, but they give you a tummy ache. I'll trade you. Listen, I'm going to offer some value. Okay. I'm serious. Good game, Dan. Dark Horse candidate.

I'm going Iowa State, Missouri. Do you want Iowa State? That's a terrible trade. What in the world? That's a terrible trade. Why? Great young core of great young core of talent. This is why you're not in this.

This is why you're not in the Marvel. I want this all quoted. I want this all quoted. I want this all. No, it's a, can I tell you why it's a bad trade? Because you're asking him to give up an SEC team, which we already feel like has more paths to the playoff. A top 10 team. For a big 12 team, which might be an awesome league, but also might be a league where it's like, wow, everybody has four losses.

They're all fucked except the champion. Like, I don't know if I would give you two lane for Iowa State. What makes you think that the SEC is going to be that? What makes you think? Wait, wait, wait, be what? What makes you think they're going to get a lot of playoff teams? What makes me think the SEC and the Big Ten are going to get multiple playoff teams? I have no idea.

She wore a crown and come down in a bubble, Doug. What makes you think they won't all have way more losses than they think they love? You don't understand. It won't matter if they do. Everyone will just beat their chest about how that proves it's the deepest, most competitive league in human history. I think Iowa State has a nice little shot toward winning their conference and ending up having a compelling argument as like a one or two long team as opposed to everybody in the SEC. But you know what? But you know what?

I'm just offering deals, Ryan. If they win their conference, they're in, dummy, they don't even need to, like, make an argument. But I do think, I do think this whole team thing, it does make it to, like, there is an argument for, like, there's going to be several four lost teams that are in the playoffs over the next five years. Everything we've been through this week and this is what's going to tear us apart. I love it. I have watched college football fuck up every sure thing and every obvious logic toward establishing who belongs in a postseason or a championship. I assume nothing certain. So you're saying,

except more SECs. You're saying college football is so wild that they will accidentally put third in the Big 12 Iowa State. Not quite, not quite, no, they're not going to be third. Wouldn't it be super fucking annoying if he wish casted another 2007 upon us? I'm telling you.

All of our false starts on getting another 2007. Spencer, Spencer, I'll give you two TCU for Iowa State. Oh no. Absolutely not. See what I'm saying. Not my value,

not my valued cyclone. I think, yeah, I think the only team you could trade him for Missou, like maybe SMU, but even that, I just like, I don't, or if he, if you think Jason- That sounds fun, I'll do that. Okay. Stand-in on Eli Drinkwitz like he's the American dollar. Okay. Trade of trending on Eli Drinkwitz like he's- Interesting. Flip him SMU from Missou then.

SMU from Missou? Ooh. Yeah, let's go. okay yeah it's fine SMU okay yeah I like that deal love that deal so I now have zero power conference teams

correct your list is now perfect you have no big 10 in SEC yes I have Arizona and Oklahoma State yes I have no power conference teams yeah yeah but you have you have Washington State oh that's true sorry so

great doing business okay is are we good are we gabbling this closed I don't want to I just want to remind everyone that it's not a power conference but SMU is in the ACC just for posterity reminding people that

SMU is in the ACC Yeah yeah sure Yeah SEP and SMU won their conference last year It was in the ACC but that's not important I am rid of power conferences Okay Power is a very strong word for the ACC

Let's not associate them with that Uh going once Going twice the playoff picks are locked in and will be deadly accurate as they always are thunderstorm noises in here i'll just say this right now if i don't get the g5 rep i will be fucking mad uh okay if east carolina just barges through you're like god damn if it's my rockets it'll make right that they're not on my list if they make it and i have all these little guys but not the one that makes it i'll be irate so so scanning real quickly here

I believe, just shout out if you have. I know Server has two, and I think, I think I'm, I think he's the only one. No, no, no, I'm not sure. How many 14 playoff teams who have, teams who have been to the 14 playoff do we have here? Server has Oklahoma and Washington. I have TCU, which somehow has a 10. Jason has TCU. I don't think Holly has anybody.

You're telling me Auburn's never been to the playoff? It was a system designed to fuck him over, clearly. UCF did not make the... Spencer has Cincinnati. Spencer has Cincinnati. Michigan State. Did someone take them? No, nobody took Michigan State. Yeah.

I just realized, by the way, I picked the most. like troll god edge lord like i if i am right about any of these it will eat me the funniest fucking thing oh oh you're gonna be impossible yeah well that's new what a novel experience for all of us um okay so thank you whack human being spinsonaddy do we do we want i we don't have to do this do we want to spend a little bit of our closing time here taking any questions from the chat no all right jason you're the tiebreaker vote uh yeah let's do it and also uh face me in marvel snap two and three two two zero what's how good are you at marvel snap he's pretty good he's not as good as

damn but nobody is damn i'm sorry that sounded me jerry hinnon is the uh jerry yeah jennon is carrying our fucking bobbing supervan yes no yeah he's jerry hennon is carrying our entire alliance to a degree that's frankly embarrassing victoria wants to know how are you all doing Answer judiciously. Hey, you guys remember like two weeks ago when I said when we tell the story of this week, it's going to be its own documentary, and that was two weeks ago. I'm fine. Yeah, I'm feeling fine.

I had a What a burger for breakfast. That's always the, that'll solve any problem. What a breakfast. That's right. I have been a little distracted. Mostly thinking about is, paleontologists realize that one day they might like learn all the things like we're going to run out of bones they're going to figure the entire board yeah like if you are in other areas of scientific expertise like if you're a chemist it's like occasionally you know we discover a new element or we figure out a new way to like create a polymer i'm just saying words whatever but like dinosaur time is done and there's only so much that like once we sort of like new game plus it, that's it. We're not going to like, oh shit, we found a new dinosaur. Do you think there's

some awareness within the paleontology community that like, hey, one day we might just have nothing to do? Or is that the dream? Wait a second. I just got a note from my power company that says our power is out, but right now it's not. It's from the future. Okay, if channels, if the channel six team disappears suddenly, it's because, uh, another tree fell down in the yard. Okay. Interesting. okay uh okay next question from whack human being what's the last vegetable y'all ate broccoli yes sir okay i had lettuce on my burger at what a burger okay a combination of red bell peppers green bell peppers and red onion in pasta salad for dinner last night uh i had spinach and bell peppers and bell peppers in an omelette this morning.

Serbs? I don't require them. Right on. Fair, fair. Right on. Let's see. Let's do like three more. Oops, that's not the one.

Sorry. Justin, I'm glad you also had broccoli. I just misclicked. It does go hard. He's right. Dave Chargers. Wow. Any games you all plan on?

On going to this season. Ooh, that's a good question. Yes. Spencer and I have talked about going to a Buffalo Bills game, but we haven't locked that in. But that is different, kids. That is, that is, that is a little different. I still, like, I, we don't have to hash this out today. You're very committed to going to a winter game against the Jets, aren't you?

Oh, I'm still open. I'm very, I'm very much open. I want to do the thing that everyone can do first and then that we should do second. I appreciate. appreciate your flexibility in that regard. Unfortunately, it does look like the Jets game would work for me, which is really unfortunate. Ryan, let's bring the people into the fold here. Yeah.

Where and when is the Buffalo Bills Jets game? All right. It's time to do our favorite game. Look at the Buffalo Bills schedule on this, the internet's only college football podcast. The good news about Bill's Jets does you get to pick from two? Ah, but we're going to Buffalo. That's important. Oh, I'm sorry.

December 29th, 2024, the New York Jets will travel to Buffalo to play division rival, the Buffalo Bills, a game that I'm sure will have great draft implication for the fucking Jets. So yeah, that's a possibility. Anybody else have games that they are hoping to go to this season? Week two, I will be at the, Tennessee, NC State Clash in Charlotte, the Mayo Classic, which is confusing to me constantly

because it's not Labor Day weekend. It's in week two. Right. Right. Um, going to go hang out with going to go hang out with the Mayo people. Going to bring, uh, this is this is going to be a fun one. We're going because it for once the NFL stadium is, uh, conducive to us going because they have really good wheelchair access. So for those of you who remember my cousin, um, who broke up the drunk Clemson fan crashing the Charlotte Show. He was in a terrible motorcycle accident last year and has been kicking ass in rehab, getting back to having the use of his legs,

and I am bringing him to the Tennessee in-state game as a treat. So fun little family reunion up there. Fun. I am debating if this is the year I take. my oldest child to a college football game which would inevitably be a Vanderbock game can it be are they playing you con again no there was a great time last time the schedule is not ideal my home game choices are um virginia tech uh this was i didn't bother letting you all know this in the every cc game a lot of people think the virginia tech vandy game is at the titan stadium

not and it was announced originally as being played at the titan stadium and then some point along the way they were like nah we're not doing that it's just i respect that so much yeah it's just at vandy i like that a lot of people are thinking about that game yeah um Alcorn state comes to Vandy and then it's Alabama ball state hey here's an argument yeah take her to the Alcorn state game to see the band and the dance team that is a good idea uh they have excellent dance team yeah that's That's a nighttime kick, but maybe that'll be more pleasant anyway. That's a nighttime kick, which is a better time to see the dance team and their sequins. Because the only other possibilities on, like, I'm like, I don't think we should go to South Carolina Vanderbilt.

And I'm definitely not taking her to Tennessee Vanderbilt. Nobody needs that. So I might go to that. Beyond that, I don't know. Jason, I assume you're going to be at every Kennesaw State Home game. Yeah, you better believe it. I'm going to try to get to Penn State. I would like to try to do that later in the season.

So I've never been. Never been. That's fair. I've never been a lot of places I don't want to go. So I would like to do that. And the other one that I have sided up is I would really at one point love to get to Udub. Never been to UDub. That is, oh, that is a great, that's a great game they experience in a great stadium.

Yeah. Let's pick a Washington home game for Spencer to go to. He won't. Because did he go to, hey, did, hey, Spencer, how is the sphere? How is seeing the, how is seeing the dead cover band at the sphere? Oh, you didn't go. Hi, Serber, we need to talk about something while I'm paying off old debts. So, server, you are going to be playing a little bit of golf when we are in Raleigh.

Is that correct? Correct. Yes. Do we want to explain how this came about? I'm like, I'm only giving the information. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm just, I thought it was funny. It is, it is funny.

I just want to, first. First, server? Now it sounds like a way of a secret. Do you mind if I tag along? Oh, absolutely not. Come right on. He's not who you have to ask. Okay.

Well, I have to ask him, and now I have to ask your dad. Because my dad's the one who's going to be mad that you're slowing them down. Why will he be slowing them down? Because I'm going to bring my other friend an enormous pair of JNCO JNCOs. Can we, for those who didn't hear, can we explain what? I'm so glad I did not book Lonnie Poole now. I'm so glad. is way too nice of a golf course for this bullshit.

I mean, this is like a muny, right? Is this some sort of like... So I haven't booked the final one yet, but it's going to be a muny. Yeah, Lonnie Poole was on the table, but that was gone, like, those two times were gone, like, immediately. Can we explain what actually... In fairness, for five minutes to Spencer, can we explain what happened with the Jinko's bet? Because it's funny. I believe you mean Jordan Coes.

Sure. Oh, God, damn it. Did it, wait, did he actually say it right? He said it right. No, he didn't. He said JNCO JNCOs. Stuck to his stupid guns. Folks, we actually were about, we were a good ways this spring into getting our own charity

golf tournament set up in which Spencer was going to play in Jinko's. And in the simplest possible explanation, Spencer ran into another Spencer who ghosted us mid preparations and quit answering emails to the point where we had to push this whole thing off until next year. So this is in the process and we have people who are helping us out. But we got we got Spencer on Spencer crime and they canceled each other out. So we we weren't able to make it happen this spring, but we are still trying to get our own charity golf situation going. Also I feel really good about fulfilling the sphere bet too because they won't let dead and company leave the sphere. They're trapped there, surrounded, being forced to play and serve millions. So I feel

pretty good about fulfilling that one as well. We also have a listener who, it turns out we have a listener who works there, so you're not getting out of this one. Yeah. Okay. Washington's football schedule. I don't think there's a ton on here, non-conference. Like, I don't think

you should go to the Apple Cup on September 14th. No, no. You want to get one in late September, early October. Get maximum good weather. Yeah, that game, the Apple Cup's being played at Lumenfield anyway, so don't know like that. You want the views out into the water. Here are your October on choices for home games at Washington.

Michigan, USC, UCLA. That's it. Oh, take USC. It's the USC game. USC on November 2nd. No, that's best time, yeah. Okay. I look forward to you not going to that.

If you don't go this year, though, like, you 100% should go when they play Oregon next year. Like, that is, that might be a top five atmosphere period of Oregon versus Washington. Oregon gets a reputation as a smaller stadium that's very loud and they deserve that reputation. Washington is kind of like if UCF Stadium was more tightly constructed but still made entirely out of aluminum siding. Like the press box is at the very, very top of the stadium and it sways back and forth when that stadium is jumping. It's a really good time. And it's loud. It's really loud for being so open air.

It's great. while we're on the topic of bets Spencer doesn't fulfill Sarah asked if we could get a reminder of the beer bet that Ryan and Holly Holly and I think yeah we did that came up with a compromise for Holly can you remind our listeners about that that Spencer said he would do and didn't do sure the beer bet was that forever this was like a couple years ago charity bowl stretch goal

where we said okay for every for every 10,000 or something additional dollars that gets donated Spencer's going to drink a beer and then we got like 400,000 more dollars whoops and Ryan and I suggested with several shows coming up that were adjacent to breweries

that we start buying beers for readers at our live shows and every beer that we purchased for a reader would knock one off Spencer's debt and he said no you're not here for good ideas people who are you talking to the audience man of the people talking to all of them to be clear

I'm always talking to the people right I'm like Nick Saban okay I'm talking to my people the reporters are just incidental which reporters who are the reporters you and this it's an inaccurate metaphor but we're gonna keep moving I am the media and I am the enemy okay that's right you're the media

the elite liberal media Ryan Nanny East Coast overlord do you know where I live no okay great But we'll answer that after the show. Okay. I'm not here for good ideas. Last question we're going to take, and then, hey, we're going to give everybody some time back.

My favorite thing that people say, at a business meeting. Only God can give time, you monster. Can't have your dignity back, but you can have time back. This is just for Jason from Fargo is for romance. Jason, how do I win the FCS draft? I assume that means the FCS upset draft. this year so in the um splits on duo fcs upset thing the three teams that i selected to lose fcs games i took large swings only all right only 100 pointers from alex's spreadsheet i have

the campbell camels defeating liberty um i'm pretty sure i had famu over miami and i took samford over florida those are my three picks from alex's hundred pointers these are all enormous big swings I would be fine with all of those, truthfully. Like, I don't. I think everyone would feel good about all three of these. It's fine. But can I answer one very frequently asked question before we go? Oh, yeah, please.

Every third question in here is, is this going to be recorded? Yes, we are recording this right now. There's going to be an option to, there's going to be an option to watch this, rewatch this on Stream Yard afterwards if you missed it. We are in the process this week of moving to a different hosting platform, like moving to a different place that hosts the RSS feed. And it's taking a while because our back catalog is so extensively. It's junky.

Yeah. We can't just, we can't just migrate our entire podcast feed in a day because there are an embarrassing number of hours of audio that go back. So as soon as we get everything, you guys won't see a change in your, in your phones it should show up same as always but as soon as we get our the rest of our back episodes migrated over to our new what do what do you call it when it's a pocket is it just hosting yeah yeah yeah we're just we're just moving the feed to a different uh to a different like back end host nothing will be different for you guys so uh as soon as we get that all set up we will post this

episode on the new feed we just didn't want it to disappear into the ether while we were moving stuff so that's why the live show's happening today uh linkedin user who says here's hoping we get full cast after dark this year yeah we're oh try and avoid it we're still doing full cast after dark we're not we're not we're not full cast after dark now holly i as always i appreciate your optimism and your stick to itiveness as the as the worry the the the worrisome one of the group i have to say if you want more shutdown fullcast the only way i can promise you'll get it is if you go to raleigh and birmingham who knows Oh, that's fair.

Beyond that. Yeah. Like, maybe those will be the last two ever. No way. I don't, I don't need this fucking energy right now. All right. Fuck. All right.

I apologize. Server. Okay. So, again, like, nothing, nothing should look different on y'all's phones. Uh, we're just, we're, we're, we're switching from Angel Fire to Geo cities, so to speak. So, uh, just sit tight and we will have this. Did we already have our Zanga era? Um, I think that was, that, that, that,

in a number of ways. I think that was Banner Society. Gotcha. Makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Never heard of it. Okay. So anyway, we will, we will post the link to our feeds, but you guys will be able to re-watch this on Stream Yard. And if your friends miss it entirely, they can watch an Ostreamyard, and then the regular-ass podcast episode will be up as soon as we finish hauling sacks upon sacks upon sacks of ancient podcast episodes into the new warehouse, so to speak. You can probably watch this on LinkedIn. too which again is just the fun of the shit in the world

dude the sound quality on LinkedIn continues to just be like it's astonishing hey LinkedIn if you want us to be if you want us to host this exclusively on LinkedIn we will have that discussion for a price like because you're LinkedIn it'll be a big price it'll be a big fucking

business price but that's because we grind and we know our worth that's right by the way I love love Twitch commenter Triceratops who says hey coach is coach Kirk keeps FaceTime and me he says he's in his car in his garage and the car's running and the doors are closed Says he's getting sleepy and he won't leave the car till I commit to his football team. Please help. That's right You better commit son. Yeah, that's all I got to say. I only help I got for you. I only help I got for you is you got to help me. It's a win win. That's when you keep me from killing myself in the garage

All right server and stream.
