Starting point is 00:00:00 welcome to the shutdown full cast oh you have wandered into the right bar because we we are discussing the five most important things in the history of humanity today on this here college football podcast the internet's only college football podcast we're discussing the following five bowls which i will say in rapid fashion so that you can get the full impact of what we're going to talk about uh we have the bowels we're woke up. We got the Frisco. We got the Gasparilla. This gentleman over here had a Bahamas, and this lady had in Idaho. If you were to bring these five words to somebody who didn't follow college football at all and say, these belong in a group. Like, what possible group could, like, variance of animal flu? Petty crimes and empty calories. Alternate names for Normandy beaches. Oh, yeah. Okay. Operation Gasparilla.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Yeah, Operation Gaparilla. We don't talk about Operation Gasparilla. A lot of good kids died in Operation Gasparall. Did you say kids? A lot of kids might still die in Operation Gasparall. I was going to say, no, not the good ones. The mediocre ones, right? Like, you know, the kind that when they died in high school, you went, well, that figures. Jesus Christ. Wow. This is a, you know, I was concerned that you wouldn't follow up places where it's cool to drive drunk. with anything remotely comparable.
Starting point is 00:01:32 But as always, you are full of surprises. As I was saying, the Boca Raton Bowl is going to be first. This is our 40 for 40. We're doing it a little bit different this year. It's like 8 for 40, but with 40 parts that are in groups of 5. The math works out, okay? Imagine that we're a Mississippi State quarterback being asked to pass way too much. And now the 8 for 40 makes sense.
Starting point is 00:01:53 That's 8 for 40. And hopefully we'll have one score. It's a Michael Henning Memorial Bowl podcast series. and we're going to have welcome to the joe bowseran podcast and i've already committed a serious turnover already welcome ryan nanny is joining us from brooklyn uh holly anderson is here we are discussing the bowl season as we try to do in other words giving each bowl it's due exactly as long as we feel is necessary um the first one that we're discussing the boker ratone bowl which in its short history it's had some bangers i'm not really
Starting point is 00:02:30 I'm not here to... On and off the field. Yeah, I'm not here to trash talk the Boko Bowl because... I should say between and after the whistles. Yeah, no, this was... This was... This has had Western Kentucky, Memphis. It's had Toledo Temple.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Dang, y'all, last year it had Florida Atlantic beaten Akron by 47 points. So it's been okay. This has been... I mean, admittedly, if we're going to go ahead and, you know, decide to, than the ranks than the herd of bowl games. This would be one of the first out.
Starting point is 00:03:04 But you can also say, hey, Rakeem Cato was the offensive MVP of this bowl game, and nobody can ever take that way from Rakeem or from the Boka Bowl. This year, we are looking at UAB versus Northern Illinois. You may remember, that's Mack champion Northern Illinois. Did they come in favored against Buffalo? Oh, no. No, they did not.
Starting point is 00:03:27 did they upset them nonetheless yes I beg your pardon that's conference USA champions UAB that is correct the more miraculous story here Bill Clark gang yeah Bill Clark Hive Bill Clark who three years ago didn't have a program like didn't have a program because state of Alabama tried to kill UAB football but like most things that you try to kill in Alabama it's not possible without the help of law enforcement
Starting point is 00:03:57 it's true i mean they didn't yeah it's it was immortal yeah no when you think of alabama you think of unkillable folk i tend to yeah i'm there brian junior who i hope is going to watch this bowl game while grinding his back teeth to a fine powder i tend to think this that if they really wanted uab to die they would have said here's a lottery ticket and then uab would have developed all kinds of profligate habits right and probably would have like gotten a combination of some you know an addiction some diabetes maybe all the kind of foolishness maybe an extortion plot right but instead they
Starting point is 00:04:34 were like you ab we're going to kill you and in good health with all of the right redneck mustard that they could like gussy up they were like no you shall not kill us and they came back from the dead so i have an alternate theory can't wait it was this was a longer play and yes it is all being directed by University of Alabama Boosters out of hate and spite. Not specifically, it's the Board of Trustees. Sorry. Okay. Do not at me, Alabama Boosters.
Starting point is 00:05:07 But, like, by that we mean University of Alabama Boosters, right? Right. Okay. So, so the stage one of the plan was kill UAB football. But that wasn't the whole plan, because stage two was bring you a A.B football back as a lit like basically a brand new program and have them become better than Auburn. And if you look over the last two years, Gus Malzon, 17 and 9. Bill Clark, 18 and 8. It's working. Yeah. It's the, the plan was to create the most embarrassing
Starting point is 00:05:47 Auburn narrative. And with a University of Auburn burners. Auburn. Auburn betters. Auburn nerd. I'll get back to you. I'm going to workshop this. War damn Tolkien. All his friends are dead. All his friends are. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah, this is actually, I think, a quality football game. I'm not going to poopoo this one. I think this is a fine matchup of two teams who are playing at their best at the end of the year, which is all you can really ask of any bowl game. So... It also has some... I looked at the sponsor list. Man, the Bocca Bowl has maybe some of the most Florida sponsors possible. Is there a private prison company in there?
Starting point is 00:06:36 There's not, but I think that's because they already, like, have dabbled in college football and it didn't go well. Here's what they do have. A plasma donation center. An outlet mall, a trampoline park, lion country safari, and a Native American casino. Wow. Which casino? Um, the seminal, uh, the seminal, uh, the seminal hard rock. I think it's the Seminole hard rock coconut creek maybe.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Wow. Yeah. That's, that's, that's the one you want. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not the, not the seminal Tampa. No, no, no. Most of the, the plasma donation center is the one where I'm like, why would you, you don't need to sponsor a bowl game. Just advertise at the bus station. Right. Let us all remember, by the way, primary sponsor, Cherubundi. Definitely scientifically backed up claims on every single point of Cherubundi's resume for tart cherry juice. Yep. All completely verified by solid research.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I drank this tart cherry juice every day for a year and I'm still alive. Take that, Libs. Come on. Owned. The company was started as Cherry Farm. So you know, and P-H-A-R-M. Yeah, that's definitely not an indicator. Man, one of you is typing furiously. It's amazing. At Amy. Definitely, Spencer.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, it's probably. It's fine. But yeah, that's the Boca Bowl. I think we're good. I think they're totally solid on Boca Bowl. That means we can move on to part two. I think the ladies having a frisco. the frisco bowl
Starting point is 00:08:21 usually you pay double for that cotton the frisco bowl in friscoe Texas which I believe is friscoe still the largest growing city in America is it yes it has been for like a decade well frisco
Starting point is 00:08:36 located I believe north of Texas or the fastest the fastest growing city in America yep it is friscoe Texas which I'm sure that always means something that always means great things right culture
Starting point is 00:08:48 fastest growth like I think for 10 seconds every now and then the place that is the fastest growing place in America is absolutely horrified right well it's it's sort of like being the fastest car on the interstate like it's fun but it's not necessarily long term fun yeah no it's gonna come to an end it's like I'm sure that about six years ago the fastest growing place in America was a parking lot in one of those towns in North Dakota that was fracking a lot right right like that was they were like oh man the fastest place is my not uh you know south dakota and the the problem is is that it's a parking lot you know so what i'm saying is that this is an incredible bowl game um can we do some frank solich can we do a frank solitch game
Starting point is 00:09:37 yeah i would love to play a frank solish game so i say that because we should probably tell you ohio is playing this game against san diego state um frank solich born september 1944 I am going to give both of you an American invention from roughly around that time. And you're going to tell me, is Frank Solich older? Is this thing? Older or younger? We did this last year, and I think we all got every question wrong. Did we? Yeah, because we're in.
Starting point is 00:10:06 No, no, we did it with David Cutcliffe. We did. But this is another one where I think none of us actually have an accurate age for Frank Solich. Oh, no, I'm saying if Ryan fed us all of last year's questions over again, we would not get them right. You could tell me Frank Solich was 80. But I'm telling you right now, he was born in 1944, September 1944. I'm giving you that as your key indicator. And now I'm going to give you an invention.
Starting point is 00:10:31 And you have to tell me if it's older than Frank or younger than Frank. Okay. All right. Cat litter. What? Cat litter. Is that spelled K-A-T-T-N? Is he a Texas tech assistant?
Starting point is 00:10:45 It's an invention. Cat litter Younger Cat litter is younger than Frank Solich, good job Tupperware Tupperware Older
Starting point is 00:10:58 Younger Tupperware is younger than Frank Solich Deodorant Younger Deodorant is older than Frank Solich Man Spencer
Starting point is 00:11:10 3 for 3 Spencer's also very old I remember when it came out and I said that'll never work and for me it never has soft serve ice cream older younger
Starting point is 00:11:25 older the ATM older older oh the ATM is younger the ATM is actually older than Frank Solich it took a while for it to like become a thing but it used to be paddle powered
Starting point is 00:11:43 there was there was a tiny there was a tiny child who lived inside of it and he handed you cash that's i was just thinking i was thinking pedal powered by the consumer but okay i was thinking something steam powered that you know frequently exploded and caused horrible scalding injuries right yeah i got my 30 saw books and this here third degree burn the zamboni the zamboni is younger correct um the slinky Hmm. Oh, no, no, no. That's Vietnam, so it's younger. No, the Slinky's way, the Slinky is slightly, slightly older. Oh, it must have been like World War II. Okay. Slinky's older. And the last one, the defibrillator. Younger. Older. It is, it is younger than Frank Solich.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Oh, man, I started hot, faded down the stretch. That's okay. That's okay. That's okay. I think that's enough discussion of the Frisco Bowl. I do want to acknowledge that Holly might be right and there might be a Texas, somewhere within the state of Texas, an assistant coach named Cat Letter. K-A-T-T-L-Y-T-E-R. H. Under the, oh, yeah, L-H-Y-T.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You can't ascend past a certain salary cap level in the Big 12 without also sounding like your name doubles up for one of the Starship Troopers football players. I was going to say, like, George Lucas named half of the assistant coaches in Texas football. Yeah, cat litter is going to throw for 3,500 next yards. Oh, man. Yards next year for Texas Tech. Django Fett was a warrior out there. Jango, that's the saddest thing is Jango Fett's talk.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I mean, Janko Fett might have played for SMU in 2007. I can't tell you that he didn't. That also plays because Bobafat, like, the whole, oh, he's just, he's a quarterback, just like his daddy. He's a gunslinger. Doesn't work well with others, but you know what? He's got a cannon. And by that, I mean, a rocket launcher. That's, yeah, it's, it's illegal.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Unless we're in Texas. Woo! Job of the Hut, excellent booster. The Gasparilla Bull. This is depressing. This is depressing. They fucked up a good thing. Frank Solich is older than the Gasparole.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Um, slightly, yes. I mean, you, you know, you know how they fuck this game up, right? Wait, no, you're not. Um, this makes you, this makes you mad just thinking about it. Wait, what happened? I mean, a little bit, but so, so. I'm not pretending for a bit. I really don't know. So I want to confirm that this is the case.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah. This, so this game used to be the Bifo Brady's Bowl, used to be the Magic jackball RIP corned beef wantons right and you may recall Spencer
Starting point is 00:14:49 where was this game played it was played in the sundome and it is not speaking of Tupperware in the
Starting point is 00:14:56 overturned mixing bowl of a stadium that was Tropicana Field correct yeah they played at
Starting point is 00:15:01 Raven James Stadium now they played at the Bucks Stadium do you know who's in this game
Starting point is 00:15:05 who USF and Marcia damn it and Marshall but but we're gonna
Starting point is 00:15:12 watch play in an NFL stadium that they play all of their home games in instead of a baseball stadium that's not even good at being a baseball stadium like like this this is charmless now how how did you this is as charmless as beefo brady's introducing their signature buffalo sauce and not calling it beefalo sauce man go back to this okay i want you i want you to go back to October 6th. Yeah. October 6th, South Florida. Flawless.
Starting point is 00:15:47 A, no. Bifo Brady's has a quinoa salad now. What fucking country is this? How many times do you think that's been ordered since they put it on the menu? I've got to be the only person who has ever browsed the Bifo Brady's website. I think it's been
Starting point is 00:16:03 ordered three times. No, I was trying to give you guys a quiz. I was trying to like rope together some kind of quiz to keep up our corned beef wanton brand and i got nothing so october 6th the abarillo firecracker burger with sweet jalapeno mayo where's jason it's usf is eight no and then this is how they finished the season like undefeated admittedly against a pretty weak sleep i'm just clicking through this menu sorry i'm only like halfway down this is going to
Starting point is 00:16:40 take a minute. No, it's working. We're going to keep doing it. So they come into that 8-0 and then their last five games. Wait, wait, wait, one of their menu items is just two eight, wait, their entree portion of pork chops is two eight-ounce bone-in season pork chops. Eight 5736 lost to Houston. I like the, I like the insistent debate we are having right now between two people talking about two sad things. Okay. You have football to end the season and the beef of Brady's menu. But you refuse to acknowledge one another. That was one flicker of light in the darkness.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And here's the second one. The steak burrito still has quotes around the word the. As in. Because it's the official state food of Ohio, I assume. As in the 4115 loss that USF took. When you go over like ass whoopens people done took in 2018. I'm maybe sure one of these dishes is just Kraft Mac. USF took a 41-15 lost to Tulane.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So you have young sons. Isn't that just Kraft Mac? That's just Kraft Mac and cheese in a bowl. Just like Cincinnati doesn't know what food is. Cincinnati another team that would just serve me Kraft Mac. Then I don't have to make it. They lost their last five games is what I'm saying. They did the worst possible thing you could do when you're up.
Starting point is 00:17:56 You're not giving young kids broccoli if you're taken in the beef of Brady's. I mean, maybe. Y'all laugh. This is how Philip Glass makes all his weird songs. So I'm just saying if you're 8 and 5 and you're playing Marshall in this game and you just had to drive across town, I think you're going to be 8 and 6 if this is done. Oh, say it's your cocktails page. Don't let me down. Like, do they even get a, do the USF players even get like bull swag for this? Or are they just like, hey, we did your laundry for you?
Starting point is 00:18:29 No, they're serving Moscow mules and copper mugs. Who gentrified my beeps? I want a Long Island ice tea mixed up in a coffee can and I want it now. You can still get that in Tampa. You just have to go to my friend Dave's house. He'll hook you up. Or Chuckie Cheese. It's Tampa.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I was going to say it's Tampa. I could probably get that at the gynecologist office. Well, you got to have something while you wait. Come on. It's like a retirement village every day. I still love Bifo Brady's Long Island Ice Tees because they were the only Long Island Ice Tea recipe I had ever seen that
Starting point is 00:19:11 prominently featured gin. Oh my God! That's just... Wait! Wait! Okay, no, it's the very last item on the cocktail menu. They do still have their Long Island Tea, which contains the following
Starting point is 00:19:27 list of ingredients. Oh, God. Absolute vodka, Bacardi rum, Tankeret Jim, Patron, Citrone, Citron, sour mix and coke you know that's just you know that's just like that's just amateur chemotherapy
Starting point is 00:19:42 but joy alcohol poisoning and sugar shot come up in the morning yeah that's if you can't afford like serious treatment for like like either cancer or poisoning you just take that so Tampa this is this is why you sponsor a bowl game I didn't hear anything you said either of you said for the last 10 minutes BFo Brady's has not sponsored this bowl game in years and we still talked about them instead of the fine line of 2018 bad boy mowers including the outlaw extreme the maverick the z t elite these are real names oh god in the meantime we're up to 508 google results for corned beef wantons fire rises we'll get it there yeah that is i forgot we've gotten this far not mentioned that the actual sponsor of this bowl game is bad boy mowers when you're keeping the grassy
Starting point is 00:20:33 short in an illegal fashion. They would like you, they would like to sell you an $8,000 lawnmower. Also, here's this. One of the things they advertise is this. The advanced shoot system, which takes control of your mower discharge and protects people and property from flying debris. There's nothing bad boy about that. If you got a real bad boy mower, accelerate it. Double the debris. Extreme debris radius. weaponize your clippins do you hate your neighbor knock out his windows with this shit we don't care we're bad boy mowers oh man i do wish we had gone to the annual bad boy mowers dealer meeting
Starting point is 00:21:18 in buloxy hey listen there's time for next year let's just book it let's book it i got to tell you know what there's a lot of weird dicks at that meeting hold on hold on there is a i want to send you this um So there is a, and maybe we'll remember to put it here or not. Does this, I'm going to try to send you a picture of the stage at this thing, if it will let me. Okay. I put it in the chat. that I have just said through the through this through our chat feature all right so the
Starting point is 00:22:09 picture that Ryan has sent me is oh dear okay if it could look kind of like a low budget TED talk correct like like low budge TED talk with knock my drink over trying to turn your laptop around so I can look at no you have to see this so it's like a low-budge TED talk. Oh, that's a comfy. Where they're using... Wait, are those chairs or lawnmowers? Those are like recumbent lawnmowers?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Uh-huh. Yeah. They're using like recumbent lawnmowers from chairs. Can I just drive one of those down the street? I'm pretty sure if you're a bad boy, that's what you do. They kind of look like miniature batmobiles, don't they? They look like the tumbler if the tumbler had arthritis. And if the tumbler had arthritis and it got a great edge on your lawn. Yeah. This is going to need me everything I need for my second career as a
Starting point is 00:23:10 perpetually driver's license suspended real estate agent. Yeah, no. This is a photo of five men on stage at the bad boy mowers dealer meeting of this year. Four of them are three of them are sitting in riding lawnmowers. One of them has like a mounted sort of chariot style lawnmower and one are like if those couches that if those power recliners with all the like built in molded cup holders were a lawnmower which honestly to me sounds like the perfect marriage of form and function i assume this guy on the right's making love to the mower i don't want one are these expensive they're quite expensive they're eight grand um unless these are the diesel in which case they're 15 grand uh this is a deleted scene from wali I mean, I would much rather have this than like a Nissan Versa. Oh, man, Holly, imagine just riding up to Bifo Brady's in one of these suckers
Starting point is 00:24:06 getting your quinoa to go with your Long Island iced tea. Controlling your debris like a bad boy. USF, you have to stay home. This is the punishment you get. You could have gone anywhere else. But nope, you got to play a glorified home game sponsored by a mower company. that we wish were a terrible chain restaurant. Every good girl loves a bad boy.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Call me, Gasparilla. The Bahamas Bowl. I guess. Bahamas Bo. It's if I were at Toledo. Sponsored by a Chicago town, a Chicago suburb. Who's sponsoring the Bahamas Bowl is here? Oh, no, that's a real thing. This is the Maker's Wanted Bahamas Bowl,
Starting point is 00:24:55 and Makers Wanted is the, I guess the motto of Elk Grove Village a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Uh-huh. So a suburb of Chicago is advertising a bowl game in the Bahamas. In the middle of winter.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I am sure. The Bahamas are like northwestish in the Caribbean. I am sure. Don't check me on that. I am sure this is not at all some kind of scam. Just saying that out loud. So a suburb of Chicago is sponsoring a bolequin.
Starting point is 00:25:31 They're north and west of like Turks and Caicos. Yeah, so they're definitely the northwestern of Turks and Caicos. No, I mean, they are kind of northwestern. Okay, if you look at it, okay, if you look at a map of the Caribbean, right? Yeah. And you like kind of like drew like a basic, like draw like a rhombus from like Miami to Cancun, like down to the Honduras, Nicaraga border, straight over to Barbados, right? And back up, I'm like, there's your square.
Starting point is 00:26:00 The Bahamas are basically Montana. I've always said that. Of the Caribbean. Sure. Yeah. This place, by the way, Elkoav advertises itself as home of America's largest industrial
Starting point is 00:26:14 park. Cool. Out. Jesus. Next. Yeah. Who! Do you want to as grim? If you're curious, this makes Trinidad and Tobago the Florida of the Caribbean. Do you think this means they're going to make, like, the FIU and Toledo staff in the press conferences and stuff say nice things about a Chicago suburb they have never visited? Ooh, and Montserrat is like Baltimore.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Sorry, Montserrat. No, but I'm looking forward to the accent when that person from Elk Grove inevitably shoehorns their way into the ceremonies, right? Right. Thank you for coming, friends. And neighbors. Oh, hey Bahamas, we've brought you two foods so far. Popeye's chicken and deep dish pizza. America, we're all dying.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Just, just them looking at the pizza. And some of us hurry it up. Them just looking at the pizza and going like, this is actually just a huge slice of wet dough that somebody is topped with cheese. It's mostly bread, y'all. This is a pizza shoe for a giant. Like Chicago, it's mostly bread. That's the nicest thing I will ever say about Chicago on this program. It's cold there.
Starting point is 00:27:25 it's got culture though sure or's Mike Felder we need him FYU had a pretty good year of football we could at least briefly mention that they did no no no they 100% did it's like not we're not making that up
Starting point is 00:27:44 and we're not being snide FIU please remind everyone who their coaches that'd be Butch Davis that is correct in case you forgot Butch Davis And if the Miami Hurricanes
Starting point is 00:27:59 Have another shitty year next year You're going to hear a lot more about that Glad to hear it only took FIU 6 years to write the ship After firing Mario Cristobo for no goddamn reason Congrats on your ball Yeah FIU actually kind of
Starting point is 00:28:17 An offensive power house this year I know say it with me It's like a power Power Shack Like a shed but like a pre-fath shed like a nice shed that doesn't leak power house boat it is a power a power house boat with a power house boat with a satellite dish can I tell you they have the best running back crew of any team in the nation name wise they have Napoleon Maxwell who split carriers with Devante price now
Starting point is 00:28:46 Devanti Price is D-A-Postrophe V-O-T-V-O-N-T-E. And the third spot, Sean Darius Phillips. I do not think there is a more gloriously named trio of running backs. And they're good. They were productive. This is actually a pretty good team to watch. And they get to play Toledo. Another team, I would feel comfortable saying, not damning with faint praise,
Starting point is 00:29:10 a pretty good football team. I like to tell you that. both of these teams lost to Miami which is weird well i've seen this though you forget that these teams are actually much smaller no i'm just saying teams actually lost to Miami this year oh yeah that is important to remember especially because Miami might look a little deceptively good having beaten a really excellent opponent in a c championship game participant pit yeah but you also a loss of Duke. Smoking them.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Hey, don't, you know, that's the past. We don't, why you bring it up old things, Ryan? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why did you cut out the cuss? I'm trying to, you know, for the people from the Midwest who are going to be listening to this. Yeah. We don't want to pollute their virgin ears. The people, the fine people of elk grove.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I do like that every Chicago suburb is the exact same naming convention. Where it's just like, animal name for group of trees or a group of, bushes or something like that. Where are you from? Oh, I'm from Bear Bear Forest, Chicago. Yeah, I'm from, let's see, I'm from Deer Thicket. Yes. Deer Thickett, Illinois.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Eel Bramble. I'm from eel bramble. Eel Bramble's Kentucky. Yeah. For some reason, if you get like weird and involve thorns, it becomes Kentucky. That's true. That's true. Indiana would never have that name because Eels just are indecent.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Eel Bramble, there ain't no, you won't get cell service there. Yeah, no. Them hill people come down and they'll pluck your eyes out. That's where Dickey Lyons was from. UK recruit a couple good wide outs out of Eel Bramble. I might have said something true and I just didn't even realize it. Lost a lot of good recruiters there in them hills. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I've seen again. I think that's, I mean, this is actually a Bahamas Bowl. I'm going to go ahead. I'll give it the sign of like blue ribbon quality. This is a fine game and you should watch it. Okay. Yeah. That leaves but but one.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Oh boy. Idaho. Good afternoon. Potato. The potato recipe. Ball. We will start by mentioning the teams playing in this game, BYU and Western Michigan.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Now can we get on to the good part. All right. That's all we have to say about the football teams in this. game please holly take it away okay as always uh at this time of year we turn our eyes to the idaho potato grown in idaho certified 100% idaho potatoes dr potato blog website they have expanded their recipe section their recipe section has expanded like it exploded out of a dying star um and boys the idaho potato commission is trying to broaden its appeal past Idaho in the very I'm trying to imagine like say say you're a you're a a work-a-day
Starting point is 00:32:19 Idaho one you know and and you're you're coming home after a long day I don't know straightening up your Confederate flags in the front yard which I've seen more of in Idaho than I've ever seen anywhere south than Mason Dixon line and you're logging on to your Idaho Potato Commission website to look for some dinner options.
