Welcome to the shutdown to the shutdown full cast. You are listening to the internet's only college football podcast. I am Spencer Hall. I am joined as I am every week by. Jason Kerr, Ryan Nanny, Holly Anderson, and on the ones and two's Michael Serber. But it's not every week. Jason wasn't here last week. Every week, we are joined by the same people.

And sometimes you're not here. We are joined every week by Brian Floyd. Yeah, that part is true. And most importantly, you, the listener. The thing is Floyd functions as a conduit. So if one of us is not on the call, we are still tapped in Charles Xavier style. A channeling spirit of sorts. sure

yeah he's our cerebro we bring in Brian he puts the bro in subri bro he really does what of cerebrough what of cerebro plus fireball that man owns a lot of hoodies

that's a lot of hoodies and shorts they'll be like hey man we found a human on Mars already he's in a hoodie in shorts we'd be like wazoo fan yeah the hoodies help him with packing

because I think they're probably the easiest garment that can be tied into like a bindle. Yeah, a hoodie itself can carry many other hoodies,

the great nesting hoodie. I've put as many as eight cans of wine into my Grantland hoodie pockets. That should be a measure for more hoodies, Holly.

It should be like cans of wine capable carriage, right? I think it should be a measure of everything. It's not sponsored by Underwood,

but we're open to it. How many hoodies are you bringing worth? How many, hoodiesworth are you bringing I got H-pack I got a TikTok that was talking about sometimes

you know you get they're like do you like this thing so I had like war historical because I guess like maybe I'd liked one warhammer video and they're like this is a person who likes reenacting war yeah maybe Spencer liked one war hammer video I can't believe the algorithm would suggest that about you

you can only watch so many space marine videos of them singing I'm still standing by Elton John in his face, more in voice. So once you exhausted the war hammer memes, they were like, uh, find something related. Yeah. So they were like, do you want to do war, you know, reenactment? And they had this guy who was, you know, extolling the virtues of like the Soviet great

coat. And he was saying things like, like, what did you sleep on? You know, the mother's like, what did you sleep on? The soldier's like, I slept on the great coat. And it's like, how did you stay warm? The great coat get me warm. And in my head, I'm substituting the hoodie, right? On every turn, right?

Like, what did you use as a pillow? Oh, the hoodie. What got you through the war? The hoodie. And I'm like, this is valid. I could see that. We need an account that just does that. It's like, hey, in the 19th century, the equivalent of this for you now is your Carhart jacket.

Your Carhart jacket is the thing. Have you guys seen that meme? I don't know what its origins are. I'm sure they're horrible about the Chinese soldiers landing in like Placmine Parish. Very deep in the comments is a, like, I don't know whose username is simply Mark, who has one of the most beautiful, simple sentences I've ever read. And it goes, I would attend a Chinese hoot-nanny without question. Chinese hoot-nanny is the new cellar door.

I can't imagine anything more delightful. Are these not our two like best country, like our best rural cuisines? I have attended, I believe, what was a Chinese hoot-nanny. And I will tell you, proper, underrated by any terms. Yeah, I would totally attend a Chinese hootnanny and a Chinese hootnanny meeting a Cajun back country feast. That party is going to be so good that someone's going to end up dead. There's probably a lot of actual Vietnamese hoot nannies going on, like based on my limited knowledge of the diaspora down there. We could probably find one.

If you're the proprietor of a Vietnamese hootananny, please contact us. Is there any... visit country that doesn't have a hoot in any because like the mind goes to england but i've i've seen how they behave around soccer switzerland no because they do the they do some weird stuff too they got mountains they got october fest yeah yeah they crack out the they crack out the later hosen and the schnapps and things get crazy yeah it's fucked i kind of that that might be the best possible instance of of we're all just brothers everybody's

got hoot nannies. I think with the hoot nanny, the problem in northern Europe is that eventually you're going to get a wicker man, right? Like at one point in the hoot nanny, you've got to hit eject, because then it's going to be the sacrifice that brings the harvest. And you don't want to be a part of that. They're going to sew you into a bear. You don't want to bring the harvest?

I don't want to be the thing that brings. Spencer, Mitz Omar was really good. Also, this is like surprisingly defeatist of you. And floral. Like, why do you think that the harvest? The Harvest Festival is not something that can be defeated. You're assuming that, oh, I'll be sewed into the bear costume and it will die. But, like, what if you're built different?

Yeah, what if you're the Lord of Midsomar? Yeah. What is you? Yeah, where is your Tony Hawk skater? When they throw me off the cliff, I will simply... Like, you're the guy who's like, I would befriend a tiger, but now you're, like, scared of some Dutch ladies with a little bit of fire. What's wrong?

So these are your ancestors, dude. Yeah. That's why I'm frightened of them. You're not going to fight your own cousins for the hardest? This is atavistic fear. I just think you could do it. That's all. I just never figured you for a quitter.

I think you could become he who walks behind the rose. Wow. Oh, tis the season. Man, he's going to walk so loudly. You see the vision? He who steps on Legos behind the rose. Did you know that after Children of the Corn, too, the final sacrifice, they made five more children of the corn.

movies. Oh man, that's how they get you. The subsequent sacrifice. That's how they get you. The unexpected sacrifice. It's like a political email. This is your last chance to donate to you who walks behind the rose. Actually, the real final sacrifice. 400% blood match if you donate today. Stop to unsubscribe. We will feast on your cowering flesh and no new taxes. Dear voter, it's going bad. Patriot. the two different kinds folks it's james carville the dawn of my empire may require the sunset of your lives i got to tell you they got to fucking get james carville out of my text i'm sorry i don't know

what list i'm on or what tendencies what tendencies have i displayed where somebody in a room somewhere said yeah send this one a giant color photo of redneck voldemort that'll you have Stephen Godfrey's number in your phone, that's what it is. It's probably all Southerners get Carville. Yeah, yeah. He can speak to them. Send him. I'm like, no, no.

Hello, Hello Falcons. Hello Falcons fans. James Carville. I would only respect that if James Carville himself individually was texting me to be like, Falcons suck. And I'm like, I don't even care, but I really respect this. I mean, no shit, buddy.

Yeah. While we're on the topic of the NFL, I would like to give a quick shout out to Bo Neck. Bonix is putting up So is he in the best shape of his life He is genuinely in the best shape of his life A dark horse to win Something

Something Boneyx is Like yes QB wins are Garbage stat Bonix is 4 in 3 a starter For the Broncos and is yet to throw For 250 yards in a game But the wheels

The wheels are something No one vertical scrambling threat Bo Nix. My favorite stat line he has, September 29th, Denver beats the New York Jets, 10-9. Bow-Nicks throws 25 passes for 60 yards with one touchdown and only runs for three yards on five. It's the temps. Doesn't matter. One.

Bo Nix better than Aaron Rogers. Look it up. At the moment. Yeah. See, you think I'm the one being defeatist. You're the one who said QB wins are a garbage stat. The Jay Barkers of the world. beg to disagree.

The AJ McCarrens of the world. That's what Bama needs, Brian. What we need is a you could hand the ball off. We don't have anybody who'll just hand the ball off and be a team player. Ryan?

That's right. That's a good point. So Bo Nix, if he had like a really good rushing game along the way, he could hit a thousand rushing yards. He's at 255.

Sure. So far. That's that I think that is gonna be a that that's my number to watch this year I like watching Sean Payton get irritated and nothing is funnier than Sean Peyton being like he's just good enough for me not to pull like I can't I don't have anyone yet I traded that I let that guy go to the Steelers tough shit well that that was gonna happen but but he can't pull them that's the best part Bo Nix is gonna this is it victory is Bo Nix is gonna this is it victory is Bo Nix getting an NFL pension. That's what I want. I wanted to qualify. It's entirely possible. Rookie of the year. Rookie of the year, baby.

Only been sacked nine times. The elusive Bo Nix. The unbeatable. Don't even let's him. You're just going to encourage him to run. And that's the last thing you want is Bo Nix. The Specter Nix. This is a Halloween story.

That's right. That's right. He's taking... Boo Nix. He's a ghost. He's taking Daniel Jones whole stick from him. The real galloping ghost. Peace by piece.

God, we'll spell it in YX like the god of night. I love what Bo Nix is doing. I love guys who steal wins. I'm sorry,

earned wins. They earned him. Yeah, earned. He's a game manager. you know we don't really talk about how mean that is too he's a rushing threat is what it is i don't i don't think it's that mean in a lot of cases no but like okay so he falls into a certain category of player and or team that my favorite thing i have seen all week is is stats of war is the thing that's called did we really get beat that bad yeah and compares like net success rates

right and so far the king of having a negative success rate relative to your opponent and winning anyway the bow nicks of twenty twenty four college football is b yu right b yu continues to like b yu and and duke week in and week out they manage to put up numbers that are either mid to disappointing relative to their opponent with a win with a win right like everything here is lying except the scoreboard i feel like cal is the flip side of this cow yeah cow is the flip side because you'll see that little C hanging way up there and you're like oh you did better than your opponent what was the score it's always 21 14 with Cal is 14 missed five field

goals lost my four miss five field goals had eight turnovers let's see defaulted on alone the best team with a losing record right now is USC so you I mean USC is basically just Cal at this point yeah probably the meanest thing I could say about USC I saw somebody on Twitter called them Beach Purdue. And Tifaldo. My favorite part about that is that is going to be their defense in just a couple of years. It's like, no, we're a good school. You mean the school that this week, the Washington Post revealed that they had been taking

affluent kids as walk-ons to multiple athletic teams? Isn't that, okay, forgive me. Isn't that like the point of USC? It is now. it is now that's not happening at Purdue a place of real integrity

and that's the only reason it's not happening at Purdue rich kids got to go to school somewhere too what are the celebrities kids who want to go to Purdue

that's where everyone's going Jason oh my God Will Farrell's son I thought with like enough concerted community effort we could turn Purdue into like oh every TikTok star

wants to go to Purdue West Lafayette Best Lafayette what do you do if you walk in as your new job as director of marketing and the athletic director goes and the president both corner you and they're like we want to make Purdue influencer you do you just jump head first out of the window do you disappear for like six months I think what you say I'm going to need exactly yeah I'm going to need just this is going to take a while so I'm going to need to clear the next six months to research all all you need is a poll Like, one of the Paul brothers, that's it. Oh, okay. We've convinced, kids are like, you know what I want? I want to fill my body with liquid Jake Paul signed off on it.

And it's like, so how much of a further leap is it be like, yeah, I want to go to Purdue? What I'm hearing is send Logan Paul to space and say Purdue did it. And then just be kind of fuzzy on whether he came back or not. Or go to Old Miss, put everyone in Purdue gear, film a bunch of shit that's like, Oh, come to Purdue. And then just put it out. Somebody's like, is that Old Miss? And your answer is no.

I'm going to make a campaign like Purdue is the hardest partying school in America. Has Purdue ever played Old Miss? Let's go ahead and pull up Windsorpeed. What a confluence of cosmic entities that would be. If you had to guess, do you think Purdue has ever played Old Miss? Yes. They've both been around a long time. I don't see why they would have, but sure.

been like a blue bonnet bowl or something it played exactly once wow in in 1929 it does not appear to have been a bowl game because the game was played in west lafayette and you know who won that is 17 train rides Purdue won 27 7 old mess has to get Purdue on the schedule scared lane for the get right game for the get right game yeah how can you call yourself the lane train when you won't schedule fucking Purdue you're gonna lose to a drink that involves a shot and a beer now he's just the lane cart I heard that big drums full of chicken fingers. You grove regular is going to just turn it down? Hey, Ole Miss, are you ready? Obviously not. That's the answer.

You don't get to the chair after that until you beat Purdue. We just took it from you. Purdue might have cirrhosis based on his look, so. It does look like he's been given startling test results. I think it's just warmie toddy because they're scared of the boiler. I thought you said wormy toddy. And I'm like, well, it could be that too for Purdue Pete. I have what?

Now you're going to look at Purdue Pete every time and see, like, does that have a cure? All right. So now we just need America's TikTok, or actually the world's TikTok stars to say, Ole Miss is scared of Purdue. That's where all the cool kids want to go to college. This is actually pretty easy. All we've got to do is convince Meg the Stallion to say that. It seems really doable.

Glow Rillow Live Show in West Lafayette. That's all we need. Pay her $8 million. Game days going to Bloomington. All kinds of things are possible in this world of ours. Gloverill has got kind of an industrial vibe. In a manner of speaking. Imagine her saying Purdue.

Per. That sounds so beautiful. I can't make my brain make that sound. Perdur. The Memphis accent tackling Indiana geographical terms. Oh, God, yeah. Perder. Pete.

Purdue Berlermaker Not speaking of Purdue It's the only way I can think to do that Can I give you all Can I give you all an update on our Playoff picks Which I know is very important to you What? I don't remember those

So our picks that had certain stipulations That were enforced upon us On the one hand I could spell out what those stipulations are on the other I could just say were there, and if you want to know what they were, you can go back and listen to the episode. Do I know what the title is? No, but I'm sure it says something about playoffs. Just start listening. It was this year. You know, when you think about it, everybody's playoff picks have some stipulations. That's true. You have to be a FBS team, and sometimes you can't even pick JMU. That's how

bullshit it is. Why is our system any worse than that? Think about it. I have combed through are five sets of 12 team playoff picks each distinct and I have compared them to ESPN's estimate of these teams chances of making the college football playoff do I know what that number is based on listener I sure don't and I'm not going to dig into it so if you think if you think the number is wrong you can go yell at ESPN employee Stephen Godfrey go That's right. Is this the game day's own? The playoff predictor that we're looking at?

I don't know if it. So here's the thing. They have so many formulas now. They have FPI and they have the. So I'll tell you where I got it. If you go to the ESPN homepage and you click on, I believe it's the, now I have to find it. If you go to the FPI page, but you don't click on FPI, you just go to projections. They have the chances that the win.

went out the check chance oh yeah yeah yeah six wins and there's one that just says playoff percent right that's what i based it off of i think this is like orange juice that's the percentage playoff team they are by far okay sure that's that makes sense yes um many teams at contain no playoff uh and the cutoff i use was you have to there are some there are plenty of teams that have that are just at zero like to throw out a few randomly all beru peru is at zero uh Auburn Let me make sure that's true. I'm looking at it. Auburn is zero.

Auburn is zero. Okay, fuck it. No God. Two and five Auburn. Two and five Auburn. I think the highest, there are a couple of four-win teams, Colorado State and Yukon. You both have four wins.

Boston College, Maryland. Actually, there's a decent number of four-win teams. ESPN has decided no matter what, you won't make the playoff. Your percentages are impossible. So I said the cutoff for it, you have to at least have a 1% change. for me to say that, you know, you're still alive in our playoff racing. Which means South Carolina. That eliminates a lot of interesting teams.

Auburns won. Nebraska, you don't make the cut. One of us had you. West Virginia, Florida, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. No, not here. Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, USC, who we just talked about, Virginia Tech. All of you, not making the playoff, according to this. Here's what we're looking at. I'm going to start with,

I'm going to start with Jason. Jason, you have the most playoff teams alive right now. Your best, your team with the best chance of making the playoff is Boise State. ESPN says they have a 46.2% chance of making the playoff. That's pretty good. Beyond that, you have SMU at 31.6%, which seemed a little low, but that's fine. I think that's Miami is clogging.

ticking up a lot of 8% okay sure uh wazoo at 13.3 that gets into a whole thing of like i'm still not entirely clear on like what the technical path for wazoo and oregon state to make the playoff even looks like since the playoff committee has said the pack 12 means nothing as a conference rank in the top 10 basically okay okay great um so that's a higher percentage than i would have guessed that wazoo will end up in the top 10 but that's fine and you have two lane at 8.9 percent so you're doing great. Holly, you are on the flip side of this. You have one team left.

You have one team left alive for the playoff. What team is that? It's Colorado with a 6.7% chance of making the college football playoffs. The believer. You're still in it. That's right. I think this entitles you to some sort of free social media promotion from the Sanders. It empires me to some kind of free social services, I agree.

Uh-huh. You and Lil Wayne. ever gave up. Not for a second. Serber, you have, I think, I think this is right. I think you are the only one with two undefeated teams at the moment. You have, I'm double checking, make sure this is right, yeah. Okay, yep.

You have Indiana. Damn, wow. The fight in football Hoosiers. They are your best shot with a 63% chance to make the playoff. And you have, and you have Pitt with a 12.8% chance of making the playoffs, but that's not, but you have one, you have, you have, you have maybe the best dark horse that's still technically alive. With a 1.3% chance of making the playoffs server, you have thrown your, you've thrown your lot in with the South Carolina Gamecox who still have a chance to make it. It could happen. No surprise is there. beloved South Carolina game box.

Clinch the playoff of the win over Clemson. I love it because they're four and three, two and three in the league. So like the, it's, I don't even know if this is factoring a conference title at all. It's just thinking like, yeah, if they went out. Yeah, yeah. Sheeper would be so confused. I'm sorry do you feel ahead of your own playoff team? He's like, I'm pretty sure I'm dead.

This is all the hallucination. If they went out, okay, they would beat A and M. Vandy counts for something, Mizzou and Clemson. And I mean, from there, it's just like, what are the chances of them actually accomplishing that?

Why, 1.3%. It is the most man in front of you buying lottery tickets saying, can't win if you don't play, am I right? By the way, why didn't you say hello, Ryan? Sorry. Spencer, let's talk about your picks.

Let's not. You have, you have Mizzu with a 16 and a half percent chance of making the playoffs. sure I believe I traded Mizzou for SMU is that right something like that that sounds right yes yes so you so based just on playoff percentages that was a good trade for you well done you also have Cincinnati which I'm told has a has a 1.9%

chance of making the playoff I think this would come to just out on purpose all Cincinnati fans but your best pick Iowa State with a 49.4 chance of making the playoff. That's a great pick. And then I have the team, I didn't remember that I had them. And so much has happened in my life since this happened that I wish they didn't. But I have the Miami Hurricanes who have an 85.9% chance of making the playoff. I also have UNLV at 17.1% and Wisconsin at 1.9%.

And I just want to say this. considering we made a bullshit nonsense playoff game that essentially eliminated all of the best possible picks for us to have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 teams left. Like, we're doing pretty good, you guys. That's pretty good. We're pretty smart and we're pretty awesome at football. That's all. I just wanted to have a few words of affirmation.

I agree. I think we are all brilliant. I think we all also are good at business podcast business It's a business What a segue What a segway

I just made a segue For somebody who really hates musicals You have like the rough transitional skill of a lot of bad musical theater Just so you know Good musical theater Yeah I'm sorry

Did you say bad Are you disparaging musical theater, a form I have defended time and time again on this podcast, Ryan? I'm allowed to do that. Yes. Podcast business, the time when we tell you everything that we're working on. Oh, where do you want to start? I would like to start with new business, Jason.

You have something? So let's see here. On November 24th in Jacksonville, Florida, I'm stopping by. We're doing a book event at Roll the Laugh Track. after this, Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church. Is that even legal? Yeah. I was like, you sure about this? And they're like, yes. We're going to a bar afterward. If that gives you a hint of what kind of church we're talking about.

No, this isn't a church where they're going to try and do crazy things to you. It'll be fun and innocent and harmless. And like, you know, we're just going to have some fun. I'm not trying to switch you into any sort of religious conversion here. Hey, the last time we had a show in Jacksonville, the establishment we did the show at shut down, so. Well, I hope this one keeps running because this place is, uh, in anyone who is like me, when you hear Baptist Church, you flinch. This place is not that, okay? Uh, the info is on my socials and I'm putting it in the newsletter, jasonkirk.

FYI this week, the free newsletter, which has the watch grid. But, uh, there's a little RSVP forum. You can buy a book to pick it up there. I'll sign whatever. We'll talk about whatever. And yeah, I'll hassle everyone about this each week until it happens. It's going to be a mighty institution to stand up to Jacksonville Baptist Church. To be fair to our previous venue, Holly, Jacksonville ping pong bar is maybe the most 30-rock business idea you've ever heard.

How do you say that to four people who worked for volleyball? I mean, at least the ping pong place had a business plan, right? Thank you, Jason. You can, again, promise people they will not be mid-summered or mid-old. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is that? First, it's November, did you? I said we're going to the bar.

Who knows what happened at the bar? I'm just saying you won't be conversion therapy. That I can promise. It's completely the wrong season for mid-summering. It's always mid-summer in. Florida. In Jacksonville. Oh, wow.

That'd be a good Jacksonville city slogan. It's always midsummer. And Jacksonville. Come on down. It's always the flames licking up. The middle of summer. Come on down to the landing where we get wicker manned

every night. Hey, gals, you're sick of your boyfriend. Bring his ass on down to Florida so we can kill him. Bring your boyfriend to here so we could kill him. Jacksonville, Florida. We haven't had a medical examiner. for five years. We don't have a cliff to throw him off, so we'll just shoot him.

Girl boss. Feminist stronghold, Jacksonville, Florida. Yeah. Are you afraid of neo-pagan horrors, or are you afraid of feminism? Exactly. I think I know which one it is, sexist. I woke up welded inside the Jackson-Deville costume. Yeah, you're an ally.

I'm nodding my head at Midsomar, so everyone knows I agree with feminist. this one. I think this is good, actually. Congratulations. It's about fucking time. In this game of Jacksonville Warhammer, you're now a dreadnought. Yeah, you tell his ass.

Get his ass up out here. I'm going to change the soundtrack to just like every country song about murdering a husband and life. Listen, who's the last person who had eyes on Blake Bordles? Answer me that. Damn.

Uh-oh. Blake Bird. Whatever he did, he deserved it. Blake Burles. Blake Burles. We'll give him an impossibly lucrative contract and then we'll kill him. Welcome to Jacksonville.

I hope nothing bad happens to him before we press publish on this episode. Boy, I hope not. We'll look like little assholes. He's fine. He has a lot of money. Shoot or shoot, man. Yeah. You know, nope, I can't do it. You can't say it.

Fate has been, listen, I put my trust in, I put my trust in the Jacksonville Harvest guys. Didn't Ryan, like, kill the queen or something? And then, like, days later, she died for real or something like that. Yep. That's exactly the rest. And the queen was shot, as we all know. Damn. Yeah, would Ryan shot the queen? I mean, to be fair, she was in a shootout. So she went out the way she wanted to in a hail of gunfire. You're telling me Charles did nothing. Charles is just there not avenging his mom's death. Couldn't be me. Couldn't be me. What a, what a motherfucker. Families are hard. that's me after Jacksonville midsummer attending my family reunion inside the Jackson Deville dreadnought sealed in forever Holly you know it's not hard death I still cheer I'm gonna do it again I don't care Holly you know it's not hard what's that run the soft plush apparel at homefield apparel dot com

You left the handle sticking out. Yeah, that's probably true. That's on me. I should have snapped it off like the doctor told me to in Jacksonville. Should have brought a gun to this knife fight like the queen did. So you could shoot the knife out of yourself. I bet that works in Red Dead. No, you need beans.

If you have never shopped at Homefield Peril before you use OfferCode Fullcast, you get 20% off your first order. I don't have any new hoodie season math for you today, but the old hoodie season math remains. It is, in fact, possible. to acquire a hoodie to cover the entirety of the year and never have to re-wear one. And you've also, now that I think about it, you've also solved laundry if you did that. You just have to, like, once every year and two months or so, you got one big-ass laundry

you did to do. But before that, no problems. Disagree. Every 480 days by a new load of every home field hoodie. Oh, and then you give yours away as game-worn. This is my game worn. You trade them with other Oh, that's our next merch on the site.

Yeah. Spencer's Game-worn Florida. Spencer's Game-watched hoodie. Yeah. You watched a game in it. Just a little piece, though. Obviously. To go with your Spencer Hall.

A swath. A swath on the card. Yeah. Hey, whenever I got to pay the mortgage, I just cut a new piece off. That's right. It's been dabbling in religion for this long and not selling relics. What are we doing?

The thing about the nine Indiana shirt, get it now because you don't want to be the person who shows up to 10 Wendiana and you are just now acquiring the nine Wendianna you're a win behind I did have to explain them I my wife was asking she was like so is nine Wondiana back this year and I had to explain like nine I think of this like literally going to happen like nine Wendiana would be good but it would also be a little disappointing this year for indiana weirdly it's a very strange time it would be like oh god what a collapse by indiana yeah yeah be like we're still happy on the whole we're still happy with what happened but what if what if it was higher than nine the amount of love

that i feel for indiana fans is already very strong thanks to home field the amount of love i would feel for indiana fans who treated this season like a 10 win Alabama season yeah unimaginable signetti talk big didn't he if we can just get if we can just get big 10 grabs all these fancy west coast schools like look at us we got all the best brands and then we get indiana illinois Big Ten championship game because they don't play each other in the regular season, that would be ideal. You got to keep those dogs separate. Yeah, man. Like, give me, give me, give me, give me Curt and Burt. That's all I want. The Kurt, Bert, Bert, bro.

Kurt plus Burt equals hurt. It's time for the Kurt Burt, Sherbert. Delicious. It is, it is, it is, it is, it's fuchsia. I know that because Bert is. It's got real cheese in it. I'll tell you what. You're damn right. Both of us are going to bring the smoke. Cigarettes and ham. Smoked shirp it.

I will try it. Ooh. I'm listening. It's smoked ham. It's just ham with ashes on it. It is ham that Bert has smoked. I've made it myself. Like a cigar.

Does Illinois now consider the uniforms that they wore this past Saturday to be lucky, uh, which means that now they have to wear them again? They're too good. They don't need luck. They'll beat anyone. anywhere in any in any garment i think i think maybe you have to up the ante and sort of say okay we did leather helmets eventually we have to keep going back and be like we're playing in togas this week we're painting our helmets to look like our hair that's right yes okay yes also you really

don't want to bring back like too much of the 1920s thing again because you're going to start running into some problematic we've canceled the annual second quarter anarchist bombing that happened that was all that too authentic that dude number is a cow i'll tell you what yeah bring it back east side of the stadium your shacko which side of the stadium you're van zetti let's go black hand these are some top-notch jokes here um not a friend of the program but something i feel is specifically germane to this show

I ran across a tweet from user Stephen is Cowboy over the weekend. And this just sounds like something that belongs in our universe, and I'm going to install it here. My friend is writing a pub quiz, and for the tiebreaker, they have, quote, name popes until failure. Almost all of them. Like it's a cross fit exercise. Right. Do you remember how many Gregories there were and how many Constantine's there were? sure. Do you guys want a Pope? Do you guys want to do a Pop Pope quiz? Oh, I don't think I can do

very well at this, but... I won't have you guys name Popes until failure, because I will win. Yeah. Because I like weird Latin words. How many popes do you think you can do? Excluding numerals, just like original names. Like, how many think you can do off? I guess I get 20 easy. There's some weird ones in there. 20? I was like, I'm at 8. But the quiz is for y'all. Okay. I was going to do a little, I was going to do a little more or less while Spencer, which for his script. Wow. Wow.

Man, there are some weird Pope names. Right? Tell us Forrest? What kind of name is that? Also, doesn't it make John Paul the second feel like a little bit of a tryhard, especially coming right after John Paul the first? Sure. Like, come on, ma'am. We have a pope's name Pius.

I got to say, Pope Dionysius, like, you're giving the game away. Yeah, yeah. Pope, come on. Pope graft. There was a, we got a Celestine back in there if you go far enough back. Ceresius is one of my favorites. We got an Eleutherius. Pope Sylvester.

Yeah, yeah, there's, there might be more than one Sylvester. Also, Pope Innocent? No one's topping Pope Innocent. No, shit. No chins. Bullshit. I was like George Carlin's suggestion that we needed a Pope named Corky, just to kind of level set in terms of whimsy.

Yeah, yeah. Pope Chuck. Picking your own Pope name is, I mean, Pope shit is none of my business, but it's like, just use your normal name. I don't, why do you need a wrestling name for this? Yeah, this is how you end up with like, if you're not going to do like Pope Iceman, you can't give yourself a nickname. Sure, yeah, you should have a code name based on your abilities. Counterpoint, why wouldn't you need a wrestling name? Hello.

Why don't you come up? He's like, Pope Papa Shango! Pope, Pope, Pope's sniper wolf? Like, y'all, there have been 16 pop's name directly. Every time someone buys the company. Do you think they just went with Pope Gregory? You think they were just like, oh, there's so much good paraphernalia already. Like, I don't want to have to get stuff re-threaded.

Reprint New Jersey. Yeah, exactly. Here's a weird bit of trivia that I know. None of the popes named Gregory were consecutive. Huh. It's like, they're like, oh, let's bring back. Like, through the centuries, the man has always had a thread that's like, you know what? Let's bring back, Greg.

Like, there's a shitload of Johns, right? And they all just sort of come and go. There's no real pattern to it. cool yeah um prize picks we're done with Pope picks this show is brought to you by prize picks it is the best place to get real money sports action with over 10 million members

You are. all right our special game presented by prize picks it's like being the pope someone just tells you you're being elected yeah your your prize pick's name is dominus wait i did i feel like i did all right no you're gonna like this because i've had a lot of turns at this and i'm not good at it also pope has to do it for a long time that's what do you know how many sylvester popes there were okay well what if i told you that the day this episode comes out is michael crighton's birthday michael crichton's pretty sure he's dead he is dead so i wouldn't be that surprised if he's not He is dead. He is indeed dead. Michael Crichton's not dead. He's frozen.

But as, as the Pope, you know that he's in the whatever, not dead zone. Yeah. Pope Velociraptor. That's just, he's just iterated. He's not dead. He's just iterating. That's Holly's Pope name. Yeah. So Holly, I have my Pope name. Pope Velociraptor. Thank you. So I have created Holly for you a more or less game that is entirely Michael Crichton themed. Go on. All right. So I'm going to ask you a series of questions. about Michael Crichton and his work about Michael Crichton's work there is one

question about the sixth grade anymore it's been a minute there is one question about Michael Crichton as well but these are all in more or less format and all you have to do of course is answer more or less are you ready to begin all right here we go does Michael Crichton have more or less novels adapted into films not including sequels or like stuff that's in the same universe, so we're not counting, you know, Jurassic Park 3 for these purposes. Then Stephen King. The question that I thought you were going to ask is, does Michael Crouten have more adaptations of films than he had wives? And this is much harder.

He does. He does have, he had a lot of wives, but he had many more adaptations of novels into films. So, so I want to... Are we counting TV movies? I'm not, so a couple of limitations. One, I'm not counting TV movies. And I'm not, and I And I am not counting remakes. So, for instance, there's two movie versions of Carrie for Stephen King. I am only counting one of them. And

I want to emphasize, I'm only counting novels that were turned into films. Not novellas and not short stories. So who has... This is Halloween, because you're the sawpuppet. This is also why I had children of the corn on the mind earlier

in the day. So, Does Michael Crichton have more or less novels adapted to films? We're narrowing this down just to full-length novels that have been made into feature films. Into motion pictures, yes. No TV miniseries. Correct. Um, Crichton has more? Stephen King still has more.

Stephen King has so, so many movies. Man, Cocaine is amazing. Cocaine will have you write in so many books. They're all on T&T in my imagination is the problem. Michael Crichton has 14 novels that have been adapted adapted rather into films and Stephen King has 21

I'm just going to say this right now before you ask the next question put it out there Stephen King wrote too much there you go he wrote too much that's too many books here's the deal with Stephen King adaptations and we can do this on a lot we can do this on a much much longer show in the off season the only good Stephen King movies come from the novellas

I think that's correct because the longer books have like all that good esoteric shit there you can't film okay right okay the lone exception i think is the it remake okay both parts are both parts or both parts are just one part oh both parts are excellent but i can argue this one for a good like four hours so we'll save this for february great off-season material holly was michael crighton more or less tall the dominique wilkins you've got me really okay you've got me really shaking up with this with that first question so i'm

I'm going to say that he was more tall. I don't actually know how tall he was. Michael Crichton was six foot nine inches tall. What? And Dominique Wilkins was six, eight. So yes, you're correct. Michael Crichton was more tall. Michael Crichton, like Osama, should have been hooping.

He didn't need to be all that tall? Yes, yes. If you, I would use, what do you do with all that? What do you use all that shins for? I am confident that I have brought this up on. Getting wives. On a friend of ours podcast, Bitcoin. Big screen sports, Kyle Bindoah's podcast with Caroline Darnie, you should Google press pictures

of Michael Crichton standing next to like Steven Spielberg and it's like, it's hilarious. Gandalf and Frodo? Yes. It's like Stephen Merchant next to like Ricky Jervais. Yeah. Yes. Yes. It's really good.

It's really good. Okay, Holly, you're one for two. You're doing great. Oh. I'm going to let you pick. Do you want the ER question or the Congo question next? Uh, me, good gorilla. Okay.

Holly, Congo came out in 1995. Did it make more or less money in the United States that year than Braveheart? I'm going to say more because Braveheart's real long. Okay, you're correct. Okay. Congo made $81 million in 1995 domestic box office. Braveheart made $67 million. dollars and brave not have a talking gorilla that's true it didn't have lasers either brave and it didn't

have tim curry amy didn't get to disembowel anybody though um brave heart came out a couple weeks earlier than congo so it's not even like congo got the benefit of extra time there okay wow head start you can do no worse than 500 so already this is fantastic last question michael crichton amongst his other accomplishments which include climate denialism we should say uh oh He also helped create ER, the television series. Is that how you say that? What do you want me to say? Er!

I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't know if that's... I won't go over, watch er. Watch her. I hardly... Did ER air more or less episodes in its run than the big, bang theory.

This is a diabolical question. For the sake of humanity, I'm going to say ER. Holly, you're correct. There were 331 episodes of ER, 279 episodes of the Big Bang Theory. The Clune supremacy. Only tripped up by the complicated Stephen King question

that I gave you, three out of four. Holly, you're the winner of this week's more or less, presented by prospects. Great job. Thank you. Honor to serve. That was, are you with the devil? No, because I feel like I'd be doing better in life. You know, you and the Sawpuppet have the same, like, playful energy.

I guess so, but, like, I don't know. And black pitted hearts. Does the devil get, like, a chest cough from his kids? Does that happen? Canonically, I mean. Well, yeah, because if you, if you posit that, like, I mean, Jason jump in here at any time but if you posit that hurt people hurt people

yeah the devil's got some shit kids kids this posits the existence of a Mrs. Devil that you get to hell and she's like I didn't have it cleaned up I didn't clean up some mess in here

her name's Debbie can I get you something to drink it's hot right it's Liza What accent are we appending to Mrs. Devil? It's unclear in this one. I think it's Joan Cusack in the movie, no matter what. Oh, okay. Sure.

Do we have any more podcast business before we... Oh, no, wait. She already has been a Debbie. She was Debbie Jolensky. A friendly reminder to join us at Channel 6, the newsletter that Holly and I offer our subscribers two things a week, including, yes, the top whatever, which came out today and allowed us to discuss, among other things. things. How hard Georgia

fucking hits. Oh, my God. Just an alarming amount of violence in one team in your inbox twice a week for the low price of $10 a month. We like it because it allows us to buy more delightful home field products, but

you will like it because of the high quality college football sports and beyond takes that you receive. Channel 6 join us. Are we done with business because I have a legal question for Ryan. Business is closed. Yeah.

Ryan, we have some breaking news here. I know that on this podcast, we love the antics of Rudy Giuliani. Yep. Bring it. We've always said so. Yep. I just got a news alert that says, and I want to know how this works from a legal standpoint, because in my head, I have an idea of how it works, and I'm positive it's not that funny.

A judge has just ruled that Rudy Giuliani must turn over control of his Manhattan penthouse apartment and luxury items to Georgia election workers he defamed. Oh. Is this like, when they say turn,

does he like just have to hand them the keys to his house? Bernice, we got a place in Manhattan. Right? Like, is this just like slumber party for like all these poll workers now? It sounds like it.

It sounds like, and it also sounds like you get to keep. To be clear, I support this. You get to wear his nice clothes, too. Like, what do they buy a lug? Does that mean, like, he can't take, he can't pull the bidet out of the floor? I need a, does anyone need a pair of 48, 24 pants?

Oh, you could put, you could each, you could, you and a friend could like make it into a dual, a dual snuggy from moving out. Yeah, sure. Man, like, the apartment is one thing. Obviously, New York City, real estate, et cetera, et cetera. I don't know if I want the luxury items You know Like I certainly want to get them steam cleaned First off

And I also I have a lot Given his age and his His public Record at this point I feel like you're going to find some weird shit That Rudy considers A luxury item

And I'm not sure I'm excited about that Not necessarily even bad shit But he's like Look at this It's a gold-plated Toblerone. You can't eat it, but it's fucking, it's beautiful. I would say definitely badge. Probably some batch.

But also additionally, yes. Yeah, yeah. Like, I think I would ask for it. Actually, we would like the apartment delivered completely update, please. Please throw out all of Rudy Chilionni. I don't want any. Don't let Rudy throw it out because it's going straight out the window. And that's a hazard.

Sir. It's a robocop you can fuck. I had it specially built. There's got to be some sort of a clean. meaning the phase between Rudy having it and me touching it. Yeah, right, right. Like, you know, you know, in movies where, you know, in like, biohazard themed movies where it's like,

that you have to walk through the room where you, like, you're nude and it's like, I don't want him rude, but. No, no, no, I want the stuff to be. The gear that is being handed to me must be now. Mm-hmm. Yes, it needs to enter through the airlock. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, the Burger King crown that just has a, really shitty three by five index card that says king of new york just take that away the mayor of america throne take that away as well i don't want it it's just a lawn chair spray painted gold but then he's going to try to hide in the air ducts loudly so loudly yeah he's a sleepy boy him attempting to cram his bizarre physique into an air duct I don't know why, but he's a sleepy boy. It's the part that took me out. He would just get in there and, like, oh, my God, the house is falling apart.

Oh, that's just Rudy. I bet there's a police car inside the apartment. Like, not functional necessarily, but just like he gets in there to sometimes be like, yeah. Oh, like, it pretends to arrest people for no reason. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Is it time to look at the schedule?

The schedule? Let's look at that fucking. Let's look at that schedule. I'm going to look at that schedule so hard. I'm about to look at the shit out of it. I'm about to look the fuck out of the schedule. Hey, we were just talking about this, Holly. Oh, pretty Chiliani.

Tonight on the night of recording, okay, two wild storylines converging live at Pitbull Stadium in Miami, Florida, a thing that still brings me delight to say. Five and two, Sam Houston, five, five, five, Sam Houston having a love, year so far playing against the Florida International University Panthers who have a new boat in their stadium. You go, well, how are things going for them on the field? I would say they have a boat that they're bringing into the stadium as part of the vibe overall.

So they got that. They got that. That's it. Sam Houston's going to win. But, you know, FIU is really going hard into the like, Pay no attention to the football. Look, it's pit bull and boats. I'm not joking.

That's a great strat. It's working for Cal. Sure. There are only four point underdogs here. Yeah. I mean, the boat's probably a point right there. I'd take him the three. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah. And that's it. That's the whole schedule. It's all you have to watch. We have looked at it. You said we wanted us to look at it, right? it's done

Syracuse any more than that Syracuse at pit on a Thursday night huh? Does it get more powerful Biggie's back baby Why don't we just Have we thought about just Cutting the shit

And bringing the Biggies back? I think we kind of have On accident I think we've smuggled So much of the Big East Into the ACC That now it exists Sort of like as

You know like when a twin Absorbs another in the womb That's sort of what's happening In the ACC It's why Florida State and Clemson want to get out. You know, all those years and we were like, man, the PAC 10 and the Big East should merge. Finally. For the PAC East?

We'll make it Pac-Gia. Like, what are we? A West Virginia, a Rutgers, and a USF away, if we can get those three schools in the ACC? Like, you got the Big East there. I know Yukon's not joining. I don't care. That's fine. I mean, for tax purposes, you only have to play in the Big East, like, what, six times?

Let's do that. Sure. Just, yeah. Yeah. Do that. These are two teams, by the way, that if we were, if we were to say on October 22nd, you're looking at a 5-1 Syracuse versus a 6-0 Pittsburgh. Yeah.

Yeah. With a dominant Kyle McCord against a dominant Eli Holstein in a quarterback head-to-head challenge. Five-and-one Syracuse, buoyed by its impressive win over UNLV. Yeah. is doing just fine as we knew yeah live live

we're going to have Pat Narjizi take his little apple car all the way down from the hill throwing the rock going to cruise into that

parking lot and who knows what pit team will show up could it be 1915 maybe could it be 54 52 by the time

this is done in the new big east I thought you were talking about the year with the first the year could The game could look like it was being played in that year.

Yeah. Either one is entirely possible here. And then on Friday, more Big East football, Louisville at Boston College. Love the Big Eyes. It's all Big East, baby. Very Big East. Give it to me. And Rutgers at USC.

Classic Big East. And. Showdown. The actual good game. The actual good game at 1030 on CBSSN in accordance with the prophecy. For those who, anyone who think, I'm joking about Boise State Big East. No.

No. That happened. But yes, this is a great game. Boise State, UNLV, Mountain West, two best teams. This might be round one of a playoff play in. God, I hope so. Also, UNLV, welcome to a little challenge we like to call. Are you a bad enough dude to hold Ashton GNT under 150 rushing yards?

Probably not. No. Probably not. No. UNOV has. He's got to race Ricky White. UNOV has a good ground defense, but that hasn't really mattered so far. No, you could put 10 people in the box for what I've seen.

It doesn't really matter. But yeah. And then the other challenge, are you a bad enough dude to not let Ricky White the third block a punt? Because in addition to all of the quality work he's doing as a receiver, he's blocked three punts this season. One player blocking three punts. Some teams don't block three puns. months all season long that's frequent that happens all the time and he's done it by himself it's easy you just go and swat it just go hit it like think about take about how hard catching the football is

you have to like somebody has to throw the football to you you have to like maybe catch it while you're getting hit you got to secure it although it's complicated blocking a punt just flat that's it duh do you think that's it do you think that like he just went to the coaches and he's like why aren't we coach him the just go slap it method run to ball thwap that's it so show us how is this like when reggie white so it's like reggie white when he was at tennessee and later in the pros they would go how do you do that move how do you do the hump right and he'd go well it was just like this throws player halfway across field he's like it's just that fucking easy that's Just fucking do it.

What's the technique? You just fucking throw them, I guess. Just a duke and a man. It's fine. This is Lamarcus Aldridge on Portlandia. Just dunk the ball every play. Blazers win, 252 to nothing. Simple, straightforward solutions.

Solutions oriented thinking. Mm-hmm. Two things we celebrate. Yeah, well, by the way, that 11, the 11, this is so appropriate, by the way. We don't have to talk about this game. No, no, no. I just want to say, Rutgers USC kicking at 11 Eastern, good move. That's a great move.

Like, it's not even like Rutgers could keep their plucky, undefeated thing going into this so that if USC beats them, it's like, oh, wow, okay, good turnaround. It's like, no, Rutgers has looked real bad the last two weeks, so whatever USC does won't even make people feel happy at this point. You just beat normal Rutgers. Yeah. Is it meaner to USC to call them Beach Perdue or to point out that they're 45 minutes from the beach at minimum? So I was going to say, I think UCLA would be really annoyed that they're not Beach Purdue.

That's us. That's our thing. We're smart and we're closer to the beach. Meanwhile, San Diego State's like, hey! Yeah. Who's Purdue? And good for them. No one really needs to know what Purdue is.

God, imagine the peace in your life. Except Old Miss. They're having so much. much more fun not knowing. Ole Miss has to know who Purdue is because they have to schedule the match. Because they have to avoid them. That's right. Just, yeah, just being a snide little bitch and going up to

San Diego State students and being like, can you find Purdue on a map? And they're like, hit this shit nerd. Stabbed me with a vape pen. And I liked it. Where do you want to start on Saturday? This is an interesting. It's not bad. I don't want to suggest that it's bad. It's just like an

It's an interesting mix. I will start with the most important team in college football. And it's that to get to eight wins, Indiana will have to triumph over visiting Washington Huskies team for the game day game of the week live with our good friends at home field apparel. If you're humanly capable of it, go to this game. Enjoy the magnificent Indiana fall weather before it becomes the magnificent early winter, Indiana winter. You know, it's some real bullshit. So this is the Game Day game. Do you know what station at Arizona, despite being the Game Day game and at noon?

Yes, I do. BTN. That's right. It's still a Big Ten network. Sad. Fucking no respect, assholes. Yuck. Instead, watch Nebraska at Ohio State on Fox.

I don't think so. I'm not doing that. And nobody watching that shit. No, no. Curtis Hork still doubtful for this game. Due to a... I'm doubtful for this game. no that's mean

we're all going to be there is what we're saying for 4 and 0 in the big 10 and 7 oh Indiana that was just a BTN joke I'm sorry Notre Dame fans are terrified they're going to lose to Navy right with good reason

in MetLife Stadium yep normal stuff normal sport so that's got to give a home field advantage to Notre Dame mm-hmm that's a big spread

12 and a half sure is that's a really be a shame if it happened to it you know that seems like it seems like less less

I think when an air of menace into everyone's eyes at once it's fine with me if it stays big okay speaking of things that we're fine with if they stay big yeah

Nebraska at Ohio State sure stay be mungy you stay over there The like, ooh, Nebraska thing, that kind of lost. Still the people's team, damn it. Lost a lot of less than the team can meet a lot of things. Yeah.

The people often don't come out on the high side of many historical rivalries. Right. You play Indiana. You're just a broken team. So I don't know what Nebraska's going to be able to field against Ohio State. I don't know what they got left after having to deal with the Indiana Recking Ball. Do you think they're going to pass on secrets to Ohio State who plays Indiana later this year? Yeah, it's probably going to be the rest of the Big Ten coalescing around like Ohio State as our champion.

Okay, so Nebraska is going to come out and basically be scout team Indiana for Ohio State. Yeah, I mean, they'll look like way worse Indiana, but they'll do the best they can to replicate Indiana. Okay, so start that rumor everybody. The rest of the Big Ten is colluding against Indiana. The reason Nebraska looks like shit this weekend is because they're trying to, in a roundabout way, contribute to Indiana's eventual take down. Yeah. Good luck. Correct.

I would want to point out one thing. I like it when coaches take proactive measures to improve the welfare of their team, even when a season may already be lost and they're just going to keep fighting, right? Are we talking about Seth Latrell? So now that they've fired Seth Latrell, I'm sure. Now that Brent Van der Bowles is in charge of the offense. Oh, do you know who's in charge of the offense? Oh, he put somebody in charge of the offense?

That's already better than I thought he was going to do. Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, real interesting idea. Oh, no. It is because it's co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, Joe John Finley. You put a man named Joe John in charge of this offense, who, from what I have seen from Oklahoma fans who have been suffered through this team, when they said, yeah, Joe John

Finley is going to be in charge the offense. They were like, no. Les. Joe Jack. It's a 20 and a half. point spread there buddy 20 and a half points with old miss do with that what you will as for the rest of this game i'm silent no yeah does not need to be observed uh uncc is on the c w they're playing virginia that's um about seven different um uh positive markers on the will this game get stupid scale so undeniable yeah that's before we mention anthony colandrea spencer your your boys are you got a big game this week tulane north texas um The winner will be in great shape in the AAC.

You're facing team from New Orleans, and we know you struggled last week at the musical town, but you got them coming to your place this time. We do. Hey, listen, great players, great ensembles. We're going to make some beautiful music together. Hopefully we'll come out on top. That's really all you can do.

You know, I'm pretty sure that no matter what happens, it's going to end up swinging. So it's really about harmony, no matter which way, harmony and rhythm. I'm going to keep it moving and keep these North Texas mean green. You know, we're just trying to ascend. That's all we're trying to do. All the big games this week are pretty weird. Yes.

Illinois, Oregon, for one of the top spots in the Big Ten. BYU is an even pick-em with UCF, who is three and four in the Big 12. Dude, that feels like the most dangerous game of the week because UCF has just played. Like, UCF's not good, but they've played some really fucked up games. And now they're playing the king of the fucked up game, BYU. so yeah whatever happens there is interesting

I don't know what's going to happen that by the way you will probably win just ride this stupid streak sure but it'll happen in a really messed up way hey speaking of stupid streaks y'all think Missouri can keep this bullshit up at Alabama maybe

maybe people do stupid shit to Alabama these days what if Alabama's two and three in the SEC it's also weird that at this if Mizoo beat Alabama, it wouldn't be like, oh my God, program defining victory. Mizzu wins on the road in Tuscaloosan. Be like, God, damn, Bama's trash.

God, they're fucking not good. Mizzu improves from 21 in the AP to 18. Yeah, you're only getting a three-spot bump off of them. That's pretty, that's pretty dire. Additionally, Mizzu improves to seven and one. Yeah. Yeah. Additionally, Eli gets to be the second or the third guy to beat up the bully,

always the least respected person in stool. in the file right yeah right old av club nerd over there Eli decided to get in on it and he beat up old big Enis get you a few licks in do it yeah wow there's a lot of first time since 2007 going on with Bama and

I think I'm pretty sure definitely their first regular season losing streak since then I would just like Brady Cook did not have to go to the hospital midgame and come back right like unless it's for snacks so sometimes Sometimes the hospital has good snacks. If you lose to Mizzou, you've got to go to LSU next. We've got intrigue abounds here on this schedule.

For Bama? Yeah. I like that what you would describe as intrigue would be sole ending catastrophe for this fan base. They've had it too good for too long. No, no. Soul ending catastrophe is at 745 on the SEC network. Yep, I agree.

Huh. This is the most, this is the gruntlement game of the week. I'm going to go ahead and wait that card. Oh, you just hit the scroll down button, didn't you? I did. Auburn and Kentucky with one SEC win between them. Auburn at Kentucky at night in late October. Oh, be sure your sins will find you out.

these are teams that I'm not going to say had crazy high expectations entering the year to begin with but have both somehow drastically underperformed them and are and are spiraling in ways that feel like if this you hit little pivot points in a season where it's like okay if you don't win this one it might not matter what happens after this for for Auburn it's basically if you don't win this, your path to bowl eligibility completely disappears. And for Kentucky, it's not that dissimilar, which is weird, considering they beat Ole Miss. They are doing a hell of the job sandbagging Old Miss, uh, Old Miss's resume at this point with what, uh, with what they're doing. But yeah, this is, this is going to have some terrible feelings

involved. This is bad. And it's also like, this is going to have some real, like, both of these coaches are just going to be yelling at the refs from the second they get off the bus they're going to be because they're just they're just going to take out all their bad feelings on the officials maybe the officials will do a bad job who's to say but it won't matter because both of these coaches are just going to be like i woke up and my tummy hurts and now it's time to yell at you about it yeah and if you're that official i'll be like one of you's not going to be here next year so i don't really care my tummy your problem yeah yeah i think for me the no matter what happens it's funny game is uh fSU miami where uh Miami

Kills them by a million. Okay, FSU's one in seven. That's really funny. Miami has to do yet another of their escapade escapes against this team. Against one in six Florida State. That's really funny, too. And that will lean me further toward the, hey, we should probably stop forgetting about Clemson in the ACC. FSU beats Miami.

Well, that's the funniest of all. So, like, literally nothing that can happen here would prevent me. from having a just a big old laugh. Cam Ward only provides the sauciest turnovers. Only. He almost fumbled the like kneel down snap against Louisville. Like you're always so close to danger with him. You're also always so close to a bolt of lightning 30 yards

through the back of the end zone to a receiver that only he could throw, right? So the idea of him just doing something like, Cam Ward is handing the bowl directly to the Florida State receiver. like that's that might happen in this game and what an own that is like damn you guys suck so bad i just gave you the ball and we still won it feels like that sometimes like honestly it feels like cam ward's like bored he's thrown five picks that's not a lot but no no no but he's fumbled but when they when these things happen oh yeah they're spectacular i am i am only finding one time in which these two teams played each other uh at least in

recent history. Okay, you can go back to 1980 and you can find two. There aren't a lot of times where these teams play and one team's ranked and the other one's not. Either they both are ranked or there are some games where they're not. There are almost no games where they play in the status of one ranked one not and the unranked team beats the ranked team. And both of the examples I found I'm pretty sure have been Miami wins. So like unranked Florida State, beating ranked Miami, especially very highly ranked Miami, would be basically unprecedented in this series. What you're saying is that unranked Miami,

potential gold mine mismanaged, unranked Florida State, toxic waste barren to be avoided at all costs. Yeah, like unranked Miami, they're just going to talk even more shit and become even more unbearable. Unranked Florida State, they're retreating into like conspiracy theory websites and stuff.

The tricking part about projecting, what does it look like if Florida State upsets Miami in this game? Florida State cannot play a clean 60 minutes. They have at least two stupid turnovers in them. They have dumb penalties. There is no version of this, at least in my brain, where it's like, wow, Florida State put it all together and everything clicked and they played their best game of the year. So the version where they beat Miami is Florida State played real dumb and let me show you what Miami did to counter that. like it would it would be six turnover Miami with like giving up two kick returns yeah i would guess the final score is somewhere around 45 to four in favor of Miami which should be funny but any other

number is also equally funny yeah yeah the potential here for a pregame buildup that sounds something like listen these teams they grew up playing against each other these guys all know each other you can throw out the wreck 10 minutes in it's like now that entire pregame package has just evaporated into the past never to be thought of in any light ever again the record books mattered in this one uh let's just speak this into the universe Mario Cristobalta Auburn there goes there it is sure Cincinnati Colorado has a meaningful conference game sure sure yeah um you don't ever have to by the way Stephen Godfrey has the best method of doing this if a Colorado fan comes up to you and goes, are you a pyramid scheme now?

Anybody going to take that back? You should be like, go fucking enjoy your good team. Do you have your herbal life return policy in a packet? Yeah. Also, I'm going to point this out. Do you really, you know the whole point of a pyramid scheme, right? It does peak at one point, and it does look like it's going to work. And then what?

Yeah. Also, I saw the Baylor game. Like, stop. This might be a very, this might be a very, a very, a very, uh, perfectly good Colorado team but like stop just stop yeah also don't lose to fucking Scott Satterfield even though they are vastly improved vastly is doing a lot of work there the runner up for gruntled game of the week however Oklahoma State at Baylor these are some down bad big 12 teams like watching having to sit there

and me like yep I guess it's SMU's league now fucking great wonderful They have to play each other. And again, like, the loser is just going to be fucking miserable. Just absolutely miserable. Oklahoma State's still winless in the conference, right? Yeah. They're on a four-game losing streak right now. And they, like, this is another one you look back on.

It's like, okay, where'd the three wins come? They beat South Dakota State. Good, pretty good FCS team. They beat Tulsa. Tulsa is not good. End of story. And they barely, like, Arkansas had to work very hard to lose to them. And Arkansas is not having a wow Arkansas year, by any means.

LSU Texas A&M. Oh, yeah, that one. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. First place in the SEC online. Oh, right. Rewind that. First place in the SEC on the line.

On the line. Yes. Between week one standouts, LSU. in Texas A&M. Yeah, this is mildly stunning, particularly on A&M's end, but this is... Wait, wait, wait, back that up. Why? Why is that stunning on A&M's end?

First year coach. Okay. Not together at all last year. Okay. At all. Okay. In week one against Notre Dame, less than whelmed, if there were only a word for that, as if they were under.

the whelm margin, and then it's done nothing since, but run the ball, play defense, and do everything that Aggie fans kind of wanted Jimbo Fisher to do, now standing at six and one. For less than, much, much less than Jimbo Fisher was making, what a deal. I'm sure you didn't have to do anything financial foolish to get to this point. Okay. I, without being disrespectful to A&M, I see beat Bowling Green by 6, beat Arkansas by 4, had Mississippi State in the game very late. Like, the resume is not amazing at this point.

It can get better, obviously, this week. And LSU is like kind of a perplexing team in some ways, but I am not, I am a little surprised that A&M is favored in this game. I'll say that. It's only by two and a half, but favorite all the same. Garrett Nassmeyer is very good. Okay. He's really good. So if you want, you won't feel better about that after I've just gassed up A&M.

Garrett Nussmeier is extremely, extremely good. Holly, you got a fun Facebook reminder that it's an important anniversary yesterday as we record this. The game that it's an anniversary of is this. weekend. Would you like to share that with us? So in order to understand why this was on Facebook, you have to understand that I have some Michigan State folks on Facebook that I thought needed some perspective, which is why on October 21st, 2023, I chose to post a screencap of a Jason Kirk blue sky post and tag them in it. I'm going to read this post as follows, having to type up Hitlerapology.org, while the team is losing 42 to nothing to its most despised rival is an actual sports info director nightmare.

It's been a year since. I can't believe it's only, can you guys believe it's only been a year? So much has changed. It belongs in one of those damn it's been a year, TikToks. Yeah, yeah. But with all of Michigan states, Hitler. incidents you know what's man where you know what i do remember talking about a year ago is how how little you would want on your wikipedia page to have like hitler incident listed as a thing

now it's got to have a little drop down just like now it's probably just got like a little tab that just says hitler with one of those little triangles that you click 2020 incident yeah right Right. Associations with Hitler. Trademark infringement. Hitler legal controversy. Second Hitler incident. We have a letter from the Hitler estate.

Burn it. Burn it. Eject it. Throw it out. Oh. Yeah. Anyway, Jason, thank you a year ago for helping me taunt my cousins. They did not enjoy it, but I did.

It's important to remember. That's why they did the history quiz. The moments that bring us together. It really was. We were recording this on October 22nd and the record of Michigan defending national champion and Michigan State defending Hitler trivia apologists champion are both at four and three. Okay. Identical in-conference and globally speaking.

not what anyone would have considered additionally if I told you Aden Childs was the more productive quarterback to anybody that Michigan had on their roster you would not believe me as well there are several there are several dangerous games on the schedule this feels like a very

very hazardous game for Michigan because I know I know we want a title we don't care the luau is ongoing it's fine we might we might be we might be table setting

some extreme discontent okay not it's there right now the extreme discontent though we might be setting out plates for that I think we this is a good test of like how much how how

how much rope you get at this point like how much goodwill you deposit with a national championship Because we've, you know, obviously we've seen it at Auburn and LSU about like, hey, man, shit goes bad. They'll pull the, they'll pull the string quick. But I think we've always sort of assumed like, well, those are places for people with bad brains who have big feelings. Go Gators.

I mean, I would love if Florida was in the position of having to fire a national championship winning coach, Spencer. Yeah, I think if that's the standard, then you have. very patient brains. That's right. That's true. So patient. That's right. That's right.

We're fucking Zen over here. This would be bad. I agree. It would be, it would be bad to lose to Michigan State at this point in time. This Michigan State. I mean, it's better than losing to last year, Michigan State.

I'll give them that. I mean, this Michigan State and improving. Yeah. Let's go ahead, damn them with the faint praise of improving. coming off a triumphant win over Iowa, which maybe didn't touch on that enough that Iowa had a bad loss, like a bad loss even for what we would consider Iowa. Because normally if Iowa loses 3220, you go, oh, they finally played like an elite team that, you know, it doesn't fall for their wiles.

No, they lost 3220 to Michigan State in year one of the Jonathan Smith era. not good um you've breezed by the most consequential game of the day obviously i always do that Diego pavia's reign of terror will it continue one more time as vanderbilt hosts texas in a game that would man i'm not sure things could turn super hard against sark worse than you like really look pretty outclassed for a lot of the game against Georgia in a big like hyped home matchup, et cetera. And then you turn around and lose on the road to Vanderbilt. Ranked Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt who has beaten good teams this year. So like perspective matters and all that. If you're Texas, it's still lost to Vanderbilt. And it feels like it would maybe more than

any other game this week, like cause the biggest pendulum swing in terms of of public belief, support, et cetera. Yeah, especially because you got two issues that are real hard to budge and then I think could be a problem on a road game, which is that you have already started the, I have two quarterbacks and I'm going to play them both. Ooh, that's a good one. That's a real good one.

Additionally, you have another one, which is that you got out hit. You got out. Like, I will keep coming back to that. I was stunned at how Texas got out hit in that game. Like, they were not close when you were like, please, which one of these teams is going to be like, I'm taking your car keys and there's nothing you could do about it? That was Georgia. And I don't think Vanderbilt is- Give it Georgia the keys?

Let's edit that. No, leave it. No, leave it. It stays in. Yes. So the idea of them going up to Vanderbilt, they can't possibly be taking them seriously enough. You can't. Sorry, you haven't seen Diego Pavia in person. It's not possible until you won't believe it until he achieves it.
