Welcome to the 40440 to preview the Music City Bowl, the 2016 Music City Bowl, featuring... Can you hang on a second? Mm-hmm. One second. There we go. What was that? Me emptying the trash. Oh, yeah, because we're talking about Nashville.

That's right. You're going to have to empty it again because we're about to fill it up talking about Nashville. And Tennessee football. Yeah, and Tennessee football. And Nebraska football, man. Come on. I'm not leaving them out of this. Jell actually, like, this is when we have the moment of truth.

You're like, how much Nebraska football did you watch this year? Some, more than none. More than none? If this is one of those, like, online quizzes you have to get to read a news article. It's more than two games, but less than three, somehow. You're not doing what I do when I get those, which is select other option type poop, submit. You went through off the Democratic polls. You did it.

I just typed in poop for all of them, and that's how we get our president. Damn it. I did it. Yeah, Tennessee's already lost the only part of this game that matters, which is the hot chicken eating contest. Ooh. Do you think really?

Yeah. That happened tonight. The night that we are recording, they lost. Tennessee lost at eating Tennessee food. At least Tennessee fans are used to experiencing football disappointment in Nashville. Godfrey and I agreed that there is zero chance that the hot chicken eating contest took place at Princes, even though it should have. Oh, no, they didn't go to Princes. They went to Hattie B's for sure, right?

Which is fine. That's fine. That's an entirely acceptable option. Yeah. Which, by the way, given these two teams, Mike Riley, he'd be totally comfortable. At Prince's. All right. Butch Jones. Butch Jones, no.

No. Butch Jones, nervous in most situations, be real nervous at princes. And then he needs some hot chicken and get extremely nervous, which is a perfectly acceptable. Already ruddy face would turn. He, oh, boy. He's gone ultraviolet. We can't see him anymore. I don't start flashing incandescent like an opal.

God damn it. If you just keep playing Rocky Top randomly through this, that would be fine. No, I opened it. Well, it's nice that somebody's going to get to hear it because it's not going to happen during this game. Oh, please. Like good things have to happen for them to play Rocky Top. I will say that Charles Mosley, 340 pound Charles Mosley did take off his shirt during the introductions of the hot chicken eating contest tonight. But then he finished third.

I don't know. Point for presentation. Is there a larger temperamental difference in coaches in a bowl matchup than this one? No. Well, okay, how far apart would you put Butch Jones and say Brian Kelly, his predecessor in all things, including purpleness? I mean, if we're being honest, I think Butch Jones is just Dollar General Brian Kelly. Yeah, that's a good, I think Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly on like some, like. like Brian Kelly's understudy

is a good way of putting it. Tonight the role of Brian Kelly will be played by Butch Jones. Yeah, he's not quite as good, you know? He's like James, he's like James Brolin to Tom Selleck. I just think it's amazing, happy jump, sad jump,

looking through the night's competition results, the pre-game competition results. The apparently Tennessee evened the score by winning a songwriting competition that they had later that night because Music City Bowl but then Tennessee

and Nebraska coaching staff were forced to sing karaoke and Tennessee's coaches sang a song by Florida Georgia line. Yeah. The Bronx's coach is saying rolling on the river and I would like to ask Mike Riley what he thinks that song is about.

I mean, I assume Tennessee picked that based on the only two games they're confident the fans were happy with this year. They did win those though. Yeah. Gotta give them credit for that. Yeah, they did. we did one that can we get back to talking about how Nashville is a trash town sure god it's a

trash town okay it's so trash I but I was in New York and I heard somebody in the office in the box office say yeah I don't know her Nashville's got some restaurants I got some friends who just moved there and I was walking by I don't know any of these four people I just yelled out they'll move back kept walking you're a good coworker have I ever told you that you're like a really easy and fun co-worker. I'm a great co-worker, damn it. No, you've all spent time there. Nothing makes me sadder

than otherwise completely normal friends of mine completely, like, with it, self-aware, adult humans, I know, sadly and suddenly trying to convince themselves, well, like, you know, East Nashville, it's really picked it, it's really taken

an upswing. You've got a taco and a micro brew. They do. They've got some good stuff over there. Like, they've got a restaurant. What was the, I'm going to invoke your dad without making a joke about wanting to sleep with him. What was that he said was about Nashville having things for people who haven't been other places? Yeah, that was it.

He got, my dad, who's lived his entire life, like, you know, pretty much in and around Nashville. He goes, yeah, you know, I come down here, Spence, to Atlanta. And he's like, yeah, you know, I mean, you guys got like all kinds of stuff. you know and it's everywhere Nashville doesn't have that my great aunt was on the Chamber of Commerce

in Nashville and like work for the Chamber of Commerce and I asked her once what can I do here and she goes oh Lord I don't know that was her answer it was oh Lord

no I don't know what to do here I mean for a spell the answer to what can I do in Nashville was Jeff Fisher so we're just going to talk my entire sex life

out through this podcast? Sure. Sure. All right. Oh my God. Jeff Fisher is Spencer's dad. I have a type. If you want to know what my dad looks like,

that's not a bad place to start mentally. I'm going to be real honest here. If you take him and cross him with Jackie Gleason. They're going to get a shit out of a track suit. Yeah, he can. That's, by the way, not a good indication for anyone. If they're like, what does he look like? Well, dude looks great in a track suit.

I don't know how much I can trust this gentleman. Like a human Adidas seal Yeah it's not the greatest thing man Here's other great Nashville facts Which I can say for this It's like Shangri Law for really mundane white people It really is They're like it's just the best place to live

Like you ask what's good about it And they're like I got a house You're telling me that we should call this the basic city bowl Yes It is the most basic goddamn place in the world If you go downtown The entire like there is a serious traffic problem with

Bachelorette parties full of screaming drunk ladies who are all doing those those, what do you call them to like biking bars? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, where you all pedal and drink at the same time. There's like a flotilla of those. I actually think

Nashville would be okay in a zombie apocalypse where there was no electricity because you could just get on those, right? And start feeding the margaritas and they can just pedal you right out.
