I really want to see the saddest information in the world, which is the Strava data on hardcore dads, right, who are on Strava with a minute summer vacation kicks in and just as with my kids. It's not. It's not blind. We're talking about hardcore dads? Hardcore dads. With tax and shit. I mean, I can identify somebody who spends 20 minutes a day on a bike, you know. Again, I'm committed to the grind.

Yeah, you're basically a pro cyclist, I would say. You just wrote about this. I did. I did at Channel 6. I find newsletters. Whatever that is. Yeah. Are we doing podcast business before the welcome?

No. Wow. That would be, that's upsetting. I don't like it. That would break space time in a way that's exciting to me. I'm sure we've done that. Like what if we led with podcast business? What if we did that?

We've done that, right? I'm sure we've done that. I don't know. I don't remember anything on this show. It just feels like something that I'm sure we've done. What a sentence that was. The law of averages would seem to suggest. But I do support Ryan's viewpoint of once you forget the forecast,

everything that happens on it is like you get to experience it with child like joy because, wow, how could anyone have thought of this? This is where I, like, when I look in a Discord or whatever and somebody's like, hey, what episode was this when this happened? And someone is like, immediately doop doop but like yeah the encyclopedic knowledge that some listeners have is uh yeah it's i have no idea it's the sickos discord the rest but you could you could just make the problem the downside is you can make up anything you could be like hey ryan remember that time that you

said that this crazy thing and i'd be like i guess so i don't think we take enough advantage of the fact that that's possible to do with you we got to work on that it's definitely not just ryan because like i'll like somebody will say uh i remember this thing you guys were talking about in 2017 when ha ha ha hello and I'm like I believe you I have no choice but to believe you you could guy peer you could treat me like guy

Pearson Memento and just be like you have this this you are have this death rage against so and so you said so yeah that that often happens too there's some shit on our TV tropes page which like Jason gets so furious oh yeah people don't spend money to solve their problems I have, if I get, if I got a thousand, if I had a thousand guesses, I don't know if I would land what that's about.

I was just thinking today about how my favorite, not my favorite, the most useful I find collection of our audience is the one that we do not control, which is our Reddit. But I forgot about the TV tropes page and I don't know who wrote that, but they think we're all a lot more emotional about more things than we really are. I mean, I think it's very cool to have a TV tropes page. I would just, um, I'm confused about the existence of a TV trope. page for us. Like, the existence of it confuses me. This is a TV show.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's a TV show for us because I'm looking at you guys, but... Yeah. That's right.

Huh. It's simulcast to the W-W-W-W-WB. There's a TV trip's page for like the Bhagavad Bhagavad Gita. As there should be. Yeah. I mean, they've... That makes sense.

They've expanded me on TV. If everything is pro wrestling, that also means everything is television. Everything is TV, everything is college football, everything is religion, everything is video games. I want you to know, if you ask me about something on this show that's older than like five minutes, I'm going to solid snake you, right? You'll be like, hey, remember that time you got so emotional? And I'd be like, yeah, about Hugh Freeze. And I'll be like, Hugh Freeze. I think Jason is speaking more to the times when we were like, you know, ha ha, ha.

University of Arizona lost a game in a funny fashion. And then the people who come in are like, what's with all the Arizona hate? You know what? I think it's those people. We'll never reveal. We have a deep. I've started playing along with those people, and I think it's wonderful. Well, we all, you know, years ago when we entered the media industry, we were each handed our list of biases. Our official bias card. Yeah. And we honor that. Like, listen, the industry may have changed in many ways. I mean, do you want George Soros to pay you or not? But we stick to those blood oaths.

My other favorite along these lines, and this goes beyond any particular site or whatever, it's a thing that follows you. Once they learn, like, which state you're from, they assume you are biased in favor of every team from that state. Like, the SEC Honk Jace, like, no, never for a second in my life. Never, never have been, never will, never will give a shit. Just because I think the Big Ten is full of shit doesn't mean I'm an SEC booster. They, I always wonder what these people do during the times and the show when we're talking about Greg Sankey.

But perhaps I shouldn't wonder that because what they're probably doing is sitting there and going, oh, man, we're getting through to them. More. I'm a pack eight supporter myself. I'm a, yeah, specifically the pack 10. That was the golden era. You know what? Arizona and Arizona State ruined everything. They just stuck with eight.

It should have stuck with the AAW. you if you ask me the BIAA was the perfect era as far as that's maybe that is like look I think we're in a period now where some college football fans are feeling like too much has changed and too much is different and I have a game we're going to play on that in a little bit I have a diametrically opposed take to that and I'm interested if anybody else does what's oh well I'm saying I wonder if we believe Ryan doesn't have a game can yes Ryan you've been called out you've been called out Ryan. I think we should lean so hard into like the return the game to its rightful status that we go well past like the two, the mid-2000s.

Like, Arkansas is not a real SEC team. Let's just put that out there. Damn. It doesn't belong. Can we go back to nothing but independence? I can give you go back to Southern Conference. Let's go back to 1895 in only this one specific way. No other ways. and there are no conferences I'm going to get a lot of people agreeing with you who didn't read to the end of the sentence You remember that time Jason wanted to re-in state

wanted to revote women's suffrage Among our listeners Oh, we do have a Michigan state headline for later Yeah Speaking of Hitler Yeah It's not the Big Ten without Chicago in it Okay

I'm not recognizing Big Ten football if Chicago's not playing You're not better than Chicago. Chicago should be the western frontier of the Big Ten. We all agree on that. That's right. That's right. Yes. I kind of agree with that. All those other teams not present. Not there. You got to climb you got to climb the wall at Jardinara to get over. That's why I support Penn State Rutgers and Maryland all being in the Big Ten because it respects the original borders. You know what? I'm jumping into this with both feet with with and holding down one particular corner of it, which is that all bowl games and, and playoff games and title sponsors have to be named for actual goods and services, which is perhaps the most conservative college football take I actually hold. If it's not a thing, and no Vizio, you don't count.

So like, first, like under the original constitution of college football, this would be like oranges, crops, products, tourism things. Would it also be okay here to include like companies that are legitimately based in, and known for that specific count. I think that would be lovely. Yeah, like the, you know, that's why I included services. Like, like, you know, if there is a very, like, if there is a very Tucson, Arizona-specific tax prep service, is this a specific carve-out that I created

so we wouldn't have to get rid of the Tax-Layer Bowl? Mind your business. So, like, the Charlotte Bowl would have to be the Bojangles Bowl. Like, they would only one bidder. Oh, but also, because we're leaning hard to return none of these count for the national championship. That shit is awarded before

the bowl game. By us. Fuck you. And then we get together and we watch our coaches get blitzed and we give them a funny hat. You can have all these funny little bowl games and then the championship will occur at the Rose Bowl in a game kicking as God

intended. Yes. In time for the fucking sunrise which they have even fucked that up now. Don't worry. We're bringing back the no repeats in the Big Ten. So here you go. Four loss. Fuck off, Ohio State. Do you remember those years fondly?

Sure do. Can I tell you a couple of ins and outs from the current schedule that I really support? Boca Raton Bowl. Technically, Boca Raton is real. Is it a product? No, you're out. Scooter's coffee. I love it.

Comes in on a dock. It requires a chain of logistics. That's fucking awesome. In. R&L carriers. Dude, yeah. Yeah. Trains and trucks.

But they're leaving. It's truck bowl. All specific All prior instances of the Tangerine Bowl now exist at the same time and are canonically the same game. Is the Blockbuster Bowl okay? No.

No. Vives. You know why? Five is based exclusion. If it is played in near the vicinity of the last remaining Blockbuster, which is in Oregon, right? Yeah, Oregon. Can you look at the screen and do the thing you just did with your hands again? Because with the blurring background, it looks like you're

phasing in and out of it. That's true. I've been known to do that. That looks awesome. Yeah. Pop-Tarts bowl, you're good. That's a manufacturer thing. We don't know what those are.

It would be a little bit better if you were like Pop-Tart cereal bowl. Mm-hmm. Is the Bell helicopter bowl? No, fuck off. Get out of here. Okay. No army shit. No army shit.

No army shit. Slam on helicopters out of nowhere. Helicopters are not real and they don't grow on trees like your mom told you. Fucking army shit. I'm not, Here's the corollary I would add that I have seemed to have already added without proposing it, is

it needs to be some shit I can afford. That is my barrier for bowl games. Yeah, Lockheed Martin, you're out. I can't afford a thing on the menu. I can't afford a fucking airplane. Get out of here. You can buy an orange. Yes, I would love to. Yeah. You know what? AutoZone Liberty Bowl? I can buy an air filter. You're in. Oh, yeah. Well, that's in forever.

I could buy a chicken sandwich. Yeah, I could buy it. We will have history-based exceptions. Yeah. Kevin Arlen would sell me a chicken sandwich. This is great because I feel like we're going to drag some old sponsors who thought they're out, be like, Poulon Weas. Sorry to get back in here, motherfucker. Papa Johns, we need you.

Beefo Brady's, rise from your grave. Shacks, Papa John's Bowl. Ryan, were you working at EDSBS when we made fun of the Poulon Wheat eater Bowl? I don't think so. Okay. That was one of the earliest instances of people flooding to a viewpoint we did not have. and I only remember it is because they got a bunch of whoever it was got a bunch of different people to email us insisting that the Poulon Wheatier Bowl was good because Shreveport needed the tourism support and also Kevin Costner has a vacation home there and now that I'm a little bit older and I know that Kevin Costner once had a Shreveport vacation home I have questions that's that's where he slept with Cowrockin Jr's wife wait what Oh, wait, you've never heard this?

Hi, Holly, we're about to tell you something fascinating. Wait, I can't tell if you're making this up. I'm not making this entirely. All right, hold on, do the welcome. Hold on, do the welcome, and then we'll be this. Oh, what a welcome to give. Is this a bit? Do you know what Kevin Costner?

We have to do the welcome first. Yeah, do you know what Kevin Costner said to Cal Ripkin's wife? Welcome to the shutdown full cast. You are listening to the Internet's only college football podcast. I'm Cal Ripkin. Joining me as always is Ryan Nanny, Jason Kirk. Kevin Costner, Holly Anderson, and on the ones and twos, Michael. So we don't get to play characters in this?

All right. Jason, you. You can be... I'm sorry, I need to... Sorry, back up one more time. This is real? Can I be Billy Ripkin? Yes, you can be Billy Ripkin with your fuckface bat.

I got the fuck face bat. What year? Why don't I know about this? Okay, so during Cal Ripkins's Iron Man streak, there was a game that was canceled. You're going to have to tell me what decade that was. This is in the early 90s, probably. Oh, so this is Pete Costner. Okay.

Yeah, this is, uh, you know, know what I don't know why I'm just guessing here there's there's been I could have looked this up to think it was real but no just Spencer both laughed at the same time so I thought it was a joke right all right here's here from okay great so the conspiracy theory is that in August 1997 there was a game between the Orioles and the Mariners in Baltimore that was postponed due to a power outage the rumor the what people remember is that there was wasn't any power outage in the city, there was just like some issues with some of the lights in the stadium. The rumor is this. That day, Cal Ripkin Jr. walked in on Kevin Costner,

sleeping with his wife. The two got it in a fistfight, which in the clubhouse? Was she in the stadium? At his house. Okay. I will right now believe anything. Yeah. He, they got into a fight, he hurt his hand badly enough that he, Cow Ripkin hurt his hand badly enough that he could not play in the game. You punched the postman. To keep his, his streak going, the rumor was that the Orioles created the power issue on purpose

so that they could postpone the game. I think they have both been asked about it and denied it. That is so specific, though. But there's a lot. Like, was Kevin Costner an Orioles fan? There's a Snopes page about, well, I think this is when Kevin, was just like baseball all the time okay but he had also already broken the record by like

almost it almost two years earlier so it wasn't like oh i need to keep the the record intact because i'm close to breaking it uh snopes for what it's worth uh okay so so this is more this is from snopes apparently cal ripkin jr was allowing kevin costner to stay at his house following the rap of the postman that's that's again what the rumors were sounds like he didn't stop delivering if you know what I'm what I mean he had sex with her he had a package and he delivered it sexually sexually with his package oh well that's that's upsetting this is this is this is this is the rumor um cow Ripkin Jr addressed this in 2008 on NPR and said sure this said this was not true and that it was an actual technical issue in the ballpark and and in 2001 this got repeated

on fox sports radio and Kevin Costner also called in and denied it and said that he had met Cowrippin's wife only twice in his life and they had probably spent no more than 10 minutes together yikes Kevin that doesn't rule any yeah he's a busy man what did billy say We spent only more than two minutes in time. When press for comment, what did Billy have to say? Billy said fuckface. That was it. I need to know Brady Anderson's perspective on this story.

That's Billy Ripkins's I am Groot. Yeah, for those. Holly, I can't believe this had never been brought to your time. I guess I don't really know why it would have been brought to my attention, but God dang. Yeah. Sorry. I'm sorry I assumed that you knew about it.

This long-standing weird rumor. This is thrilling. Kevin Gosser, if you're mad, 38 Godfrey at all places. At phantom island. That's right. Just go bug him about it. That is not the 90s actor I would have expected to be involved in such sexual ex-boys.

The answer to that is Oliver Platt, I was going to say. Oh, three musketeers era, Oliver Platt, you might be on to something. What about Jean-Claude Van Damien? I think Cal Ripkin wouldn't have even been mad. no he would have been like i'm not that flexible look at that like look at that look at that he would have said that's the real iron man look those ponds he would have been like the splits aren't even necessary for that position and yet that's just hurtful

how mad would you be you go over there to beat his ass and he drops down into the splits and you'd be like i'm not dealing with that wait what like if he does it to duck your punch like your yeah i just walk out yeah yeah i mean jcvd would have have been an incredible shortstop, if you think about it. Although if he drops to the splits in front of you, you could always just kick him in the neck. His enemies seem to think that, but it never seems to work for them.

No, that's a good point, too. Yeah, it'd only be more disturbing if you walked in and Jason Stadon was doing it, and it was in the Jason Stadham voice, and you'd be like, no. Well, and he's always in a, he always seems like he's in a bad mood anyway. He does.

He's kind of dyspeptic, so he'd be doing it. I'm not happy with this betrayal? trust is important in marriage in it I'm not enjoying this any more than you are just begrudgingly fucking your wife look at the choices we've made

just looking up at you well begrudgingly because he has to do it to keep his heart racing or else he'll die that's why it's called crayon you understand mate probably worth asking what Paul you add in all this in it

Jason said the railing your wife and making you question what you bring to the marriage. Like the tea keeper. Like if I walk in and this is happening, he looks at me and goes, you stole Felicia Rashad's money. I'd be like, ah, I did.

I guess if you say I did, I did. This is a great transition, by the way. We have a couple of different accounts. What transition? What transition? Speaking of the D-keeper. It's fine. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that actually does work. It does work. He was going somewhere for once, yes. Yeah. We have an update that we need to both acknowledge, and if you haven't heard it, publicize, the Latsio Falconer who got the massive penis implant. Oh, first of all, thanks for this again, back to Reddit, to the multiple people who have alerted us about the update to the story. this week you guys were so on this on it quick right just like like white on rice you guys were so fast to this yes i saw at least two different reddit posts and we got multiple

social media flags uh involving the uh i'm sorry i only i'm trying to get this in there just because the the only the second rated comment in the first post about this on our reddit and i'm aware i'm just reading the internet but i feel like you'll understand why in a second from user vast inspection and it just says Caccio a peepie and I felt like that deserved a moment of acknowledgement

so Juan Bernabe who was the official falconer for lots such a great sentence oh my God I want to say it again

Juan Bernabe official falconer somehow not Stephen Godfrey that was a falcons joke not a dick joke don't laugh at me wait one one bernabe the official team foul former official team falconer for lotsio society sportiva in rome has been evicted okay where because he was living at the club training center after getting fired for posting uh his giant mechawang uh online and also you know this goes back to some stuff of 2021 where he was like somebody was like musilini and he's like yeah musilini rocks

and that's not cool and then the thing that yeah no helicopters no mercilini this podcast has changed yeah

then they they fired him but apparently for the past like six months he's just been living in the team facility so I don't know our players like which they've been using still or is he like an apartment

it's not like I have an apartment and his tenant won't leave, but I don't live there. Like, they're there all the time. Are they talking to him? Are they asking about the eagle? What the fuck? Is he living above the ceiling like a raccoon? I guess with the falcons, so you just hear the-

Eloise? I don't know. I guess what I'm asking is, is this an Eloise situation, or is this like a dystopian drop ceiling situation? I think it's a Miss Baselie Frank Weiler. Okay, okay, thank you. Yeah, that does clear it up. That's very specific and accurate.

Yes. So he was finally evicted of which, if there is somebody who has film of the fascist Mechadong Falconer being evicted from Lazio's drop ceiling training for charity. Are you asking for his mixed up files? I'm just seeing like, you know, when people, yes, when people like, you know, have you ever seen a video of somebody trying to get a possum out of a drop ceiling or something, right? They always inevitably have a broom, right? And they're like poking at it.

That's what I imagine. It's like you do that. the dong flops out and he's like aye no no the mechadick like inspector gadgets its way around like an octopus it like inspector gadgets its way around the broom handle just pulls it up into the ceiling yeah and now you've given him a broom yeah or you just pull him out the ceiling by that right you just use it against him and you just yank him out right but he's been evicted at last and in order to pay his bills uh the night the long national nightmare of lotzio's building facilities people is over uh the lotseo falcons

has just started because he has now turned what is the facility's loss is now only fans gained because he has turned to only fans as an income source so yeah you go do that if you want to money does a lot of train money could do a lot of crazy things you could go see a falconer a middle age falconer naked on only fans if you wanted to go falcons no falcons we have another piece of business to settle, which is the the Michigan State Hitler scoreboard trivia lawsuit. Come on, there was

it speaking of, you got to at least do like a Mussolini to Hitler slide. There's so many off ramps here, and I took none of them. That's great. Speaking of speaking of fascist legal proceedings, how about

that? There we go. That's good. I like that. Yes, there has been a settling of accounts in the Hitler scoreboard trivia case. Does this mean we're not getting any more headlines about this ever again? Because that's really sad. If they do this again, if they did that again.

That is a possibility. If somebody hacks into Michigan. It's time to hack. Yeah. If somebody hacks into the scoreboard and they're like, can you name one famous person from Austria? And then you do the little Monty Python clip art like just Hitler's eyes like peeking in from the corner like,

and then they pull it back and they're like ha ha it's total wolf f1 boss no um yeah they have settled in this lawsuit filed by the uh by the trivia provider i believe carcelius media and the operator of that youtube channel they were asking for 150k uh and they got 30 technically their argument their argument is that as a Dutch citizen they did not enjoy the copyright protections et cetera that one might have if they were a US citizen

which I think is probably legally valid if it feels vibes wrong because we owe the Dutch a lot see good law exam questions are all around you because this is a great one because the Hitler of it is a total

red hair There's nothing to do with it. It's just a good distraction to make you think, like, well, surely there must be, nope, not a goddamn thing. No. This is, you're not allowed to take stuff from YouTube and put it on your TV that 80,000 people see. I do want to know who found that picture of him just looking whimsical and decided this was the one. Find the most whimsical-ass picture of Hidal Hitler you could find. Like, it's very, if you still haven't seen this somehow, it's very, like, ain't I a stinker, Mary Melodies type face?

It is the most, it is the most, live, laugh, love, Hitler photo ever taken. I bet Grock is like, I got a lot of whimsical pictures to hit me for you. I put them into an album already. Here you go. They look great. Grock, is this real? Yes, Michigan State did put a Hitler-related trivia question. Oh, I thought you said gronk, and I was like, my AI is going to be called gronk.

and it's going to be dumb as fuck. I accepted this without question. I would trust Gronk before I ever would trust Gronk without it. I don't give a shit what the question is. I would trust Gronk. Math, that's fine. Give me Gronk's answer. Until Sonsor started talking, I didn't realize that's not what you said.

In retrospect, I'm a little bit disturbed because I was like, no, that makes sense. A third of these answers are just, hell yeah, brother. That's better than anything Grock has ever said. Dude's rock. Yeah. Huh, I, I gave, I gave grunk the grunk AI my x-rays and all it said was bruskees in response. I prompted gronk to, shut the fuck up, you type some shit. I asked gronk to provide me, no, you type some shit.

Yeah, well, I asked the spirits of the watchtower of the north and they said you're a giant fucking dork. They said that about gronk or no? I put this inquiry into gronk to review my resume. I queried gronk and he said, He said, uh, queried. Gronk said, the butt's a tricky place. Thank you, Gronk. Huh.

I really want this to have just a little cut out of a smiling face next to everything, you know? Like, they'll just really display the wisdom that is shining. What is the creepiest smiling emoji? I always think it's the one with like the two vertical pupils and the vacant smile. I have found the one used most, the one that's used most incorrectly. in creepy as fashion is the one with the glasses. The like nerd smile. Like that's the one that a serial killer will leave you.

Oh, that's the one my dad uses because it kind of looks like him. He's obviously exempted from this. You have all met him. Does anyone disagree? There's an age cutoff for these things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That is fair. This is, it's not his fault. My niece is texting now. Above a certain age, you're not responsible for emoji use at all, right? You're just not. I mean, Spencer, you were here for the pyramids. What do you think? As an elder user of the occasional emoji, I will tell you that my close friendship with Lord and Savior Emotep has nothing to do with my lack of ability or skill in using emoji.

Sure. Sure. Yeah. Hawk. Hawk. Peach. Beach, bitch. Grunk, is this true?

I don't fucking know. I don't know. Let's be brothers Whoa I asked my new LLM Hieroglanclix Gronklicks and all it could

talk about was Gronklicks Yeah LLM stands for Lady Loving Man That's right I asked Gronk For the truth about Benghazi And I got a great app

Workout for suggestion Benghazi She's a nice girl back at U of A But we couldn't make it work Schedule's too different. We wanted different things. We heard a lot about being Ghazi, but nobody wants to talk about now, Ghazi.

Wow. Damn. You could download the Julian Edelman, you know, pack it for... No. I don't want... It just reads everything in a terrible... I don't want to know where this is going. I don't want any other Patriot AIs, which is back to Metal Gear now.

Big Bill. Cronk. how many five stars does the unsee roster currently have oh bro we have to talk about uncc football no mom no no we don't no that no we don't in um week one and that'll be that yeah yeah um do you guys want to play a game i love games it's a collaborative game yeah uh i want you to work together with this and it's really just to never mind illustrate illustrate a thing i am grumpy about. I'm going to give you seven SEC

games, and I want you to put them in the correct order of when they are being played this year. Oh, boy. Okay? I'm going to go slow so you can write them down if you want or type them out or whatever. Old Miss Vanderbilt, Auburn, Georgia,

Florida L.S. How fast do you think we can write? Sorry, go ahead. Florida LSU. I was fine with that case. Tennessee, Georgia. Never mind. Auburn LSU. Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Florida, Tennessee.

I will tell you that there is one trick hidden in this schedule, which is that one of these games is not on the schedule at all. Oh, no. Ryan, I have one question. Yeah. What are we doing with this list? I wasn't listening to that part. Yeah.

I want you to put these in order of. when they are being played this year. I don't need you to tell me more. Okay, now say the whole list over again. Okay. Old Miss Vanderbilt. Auburn, Georgia. All right.

Florida, LSU. Tennessee, Georgia. Auburn LSU, A&M, Arkansas, and Florida, Tennessee. Did you say Auburn LSU twice? No, I said Florida LSU and Auburn LSU, and I said Auburn, Georgia. Which one was after Auburn, Georgia? Florida LSU. I missed one.

On the list or in the calendar. I missed one, but I don't know which one was. No, no, no, no, I'm good. I'm good. To be clear, Ryan, the list is Ole Miss Vandy, Auburn, Georgia, Florida LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, San Am, Arkansas, and Florida, Tennessee, right? That is correct.

You said Auburn a lot. That is correct. Okay. So I just, all I want you to do is see, again, one of these games, not on the schedule at all. Because this is about, this is about how the calendar is upsetting now. It is so upsetting now. I'm glad about this game.

So I want. to see if you if the if the four of you can put together what the actual order of this schedule looks like i mean if cc honk jason can't do it i don't know he made the schedule face of shit i always forget you can do that all right so what is last well we should guess the trap first right yeah you can try to guess which game is not on the schedule at all i think it's florida lsu Spencer, do you know? I believe that's on the schedule. I believe that's on.

I'm going to guess Ole Miss and Vanderbilt aren't playing because that would be too perfect. I was going to guess that Auburn LSU isn't on the schedule. Because why not? I don't know. God, that's so much unpleasantness in one press conference. They shouldn't play, just to be clear. Is it Texas A&M, Arkansas? Is that game maybe not happening?

I see the thing is I thought I heard of it I thought I heard a friend of mine talking about going to that game oh okay you guys have named fully half of the list that I've given you are we proving your point I think we're proving your point yeah a little bit okay we know okay listen let's let's go the other direction we know Tennessee and Georgia is happening because it fucking sucks and we can't ever get rid of it okay when is it happening where are you oh um okay so normally that's in October so I'm going to and earlier I don't feel would be too controversial so let's say November for no good reason okay okay I don't I don't know this to be clear okay Jason what do you think is first I mean it that I'm going to say Ryan listed them in the actual chronological order oh miss vandy sounds like hell that would be that would be a god off i could list the quote unquote

traditional order for these but as far as when they're happening this year um you know wait so that i think ryan is very trustworthy so that tells us well wait that tells us that georgia auburn is way up front right if he's trying to stop up at this if he included this it's probably because it's in a weird place on the schedule right oh oh miss vandy is the only like inconsequential of these games like rivalry yeah but man we can't tell that to them that that road that that game won't fucking die they that's a don't you know who my daddy is bowl it's the weirdest thing like all let the heavens fall but keep old miss bandy future former disgraced state senators classic all right i'm going to start giving you some pieces based on what

you've said pieces of people yes finger dales and things. Please. I believe Spencer, I believe, it was either Spencer or Cerber said Auburn LSU is the fake game. That is correct. Auburn LSU is not on the schedule at all. That's good.

They should not play while those two coaches are in the same jobs. That sucks. I will also say, Holly, you said Tennessee, Georgia was in November. You're wrong direction. Oh, gross. Did they move the Tennessee Georgia game to the Tennessee Florida spot? Motherfucker. Oh, God.

Which might give you a piece of information for another game. Yeah, okay. Well, first of all, good. Just get that over with, I guess. Ew. Yeah. So, so Tennessee, so yes, Tennessee George is being played on September 13th. Backload Florida, Tennessee to like November.

Yeah. Spencer, you are correct. We're Tennessee and Florida on that list? Florida, Tennessee is being played on November 22nd. I want to say, and I want to say that's the last one on this list. We're going to be undefeated and you guys are going to ruin. everything it's going to be so funny i think he gave it to us in order i didn't i didn't at all okay no no that's uh and what you would say so let's see let's put old miss vandy in the egg bowl

slot it's right before the egg bowl slot egg bowl like egg bowl iron bowl games like that have stuck where the like those aren't so diego pavia could ruin old miss's season on november 22nd we're getting both Florida, Tennessee and Ole Miss Fandy. Ew! Yep. Wait, where is Florida, Tennessee being played? I think that's in Neeland this year. Gross. Okay, if it was in Gainesville, we would have had like a 9-11-based shot, but just one more reason for Tennessee fans to love 9-11.

I'm not even sure what I meant by that. Don't email my mom. More like Osama been making some points. Holly, you're right that Tennessee, Georgia, mean is in the florid tennessee florida spot gross because now florida lSU is in the tennessee florida spot oh you guys have to do that in september 13 in bat world shit i've ever heard are you going to bat ruse for that yes this fucking oh my god yeah yeah uh this is this is going to make i like this part of the show is going to make so many people mad because it is extremely cc specific which is going to make everybody who thinks we're SEC honks mad, but also everybody in the SEC is going

to be mad because this schedule is so fucked up. Well, and I'll be honest, I looked into this for the Big Ten and the ACC, and like, there are some things that sort of fit there, but the Big Ten has never been quite, and the ACC is such a mess that, like, I, that I bailed on that one pretty quickly. You get to stuff like NC State's not playing Clemson. It's like, yeah. And also, we're, We're not up there. So, like, I am sure that there are very specific opinions that we don't know about that that involve, like, non-November rivalries. Sure. I think that we have not been marinating in for 30 years.

I mean, I think this is more, this is more of an SEC thing. Like, you don't wear white after Labor Day and you don't play this opponent. Georgia and Auburn. I do declare. But this is uncouth, Mayor. It's really the 10 South's second oldest rivalry when you think about it. The first is women learning to read. The Big Ten also plays more conference games, so they have more space.

The big team plays more conference games? Have they mentioned that recently? Yeah. Is that an example of their virtue and the blessings on the world that they bestow? Jason called y'all virgins. You hear that? The most normal game on the schedule that I gave you, Auburn, George is being played on October 11th. no that's still no that's that will still make them insane i yes i think that's still too early yeah but

it's like that game has had a little flexibility over the last few years oh listen a little but i'm telling you this is just like like based based i am steeped deeply in the lore of this game thanks to familial stuff and this is this is a good bit past the rubicon or of where they would have complained about it like they would have it would have upset people to have this game on halloween um A&M, Arkansas is on October 18th. That's fine. That feels right. Yeah, that's fine.

That feels fine. Yeah, I did put one normal. Wait, where, what version of Arkansas are they playing that out? I think we are, I don't remember if we're doing the, um, Jerry World. The Jerry World. Yeah. That's why I said version of Arkansas, because Arlington is in Arkansas. They even start with the same two letters.

Let me pull it up. Not many people know that. Wow. Holy shit. I just realized that. Looking at the schedule. What game is July, folks? What do you want for last?

This is in Fayetteville. Wow. Yeah. Is it? Okay, so, wow, we don't get the, does that mean that the powers of this neutral site game are completely void? And, like, it could look like a normal football game. Maybe.

Let's, let's go to the word. Dude, I'd kind of like to go to that one, honestly. I would not want to go to Arlington again. I do like the idea of going to Fayetteville. This is the first time they will have played in Fayetteville since 2013. And only the second time they will have played on a home campus since then. And the other one was the COVID year, which barely count. This will only be the fourth time they've played in Arkansas at all.

Oh, no, I had to scroll down more. That's totally wrong. Ignor it. 2013. So wait, so this would have been, so that would have been a Manzell game. I don't remember what happened, but that would have been, that would have been like. Final score was AM 45, Arkansas 33. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Okay. Is that Brandon Allen? Who would have been the coach of Arkansas at that point? I mean, this can be a great game. Mm-hmm. It can be. No, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm zero interest in seeing that in Arlington,

but if that's in Fayetteville, I kind of want to go. This game was 3833 heading into the fourth quarter, and then Texas A&M put one more on the board to close it out. But, yeah, and Holly, you were right. It was a Brandon Allen game. Yeah. and that's the show that's the whole no no there's more this is i should have known this was going to be something this psychically harrowing when ryan put in the show doc i have a small

game you're right but this this was just an excuse for me to complain about how the schedule is stupid no you made your point very well it's bad i don't want to i don't want to i don't want florida play lSU that early in the season i don't want florida to play tennessee that late in the season. I will say it is the first thing that has me thinking, like, maybe the Big Ten is right about the whole conference games thing. I hate the order of this. And I also hate, like, Auburn's not playing Ole Miss or LSU.

And that's fucking stupid to me. Oh, God, I'm looking at the helmet schedule right now. This sucks. I think Auburn, LSU, I remember when we talked about this before. I think that's what I was thinking of when I guess Florida LSU. Because, like, Auburn LSU is a pretty special game to me. It sucks so bad. I don't care when it happens.

I just wish that it would have. It's supposed, yeah, it's supposed to be two guys who cropped themselves trying to fight. Like, as a, as noted non-SCC fan, all this stuff is like, I don't know, like Auburn, Georgia, I remember a couple years ago when that one moved around when it was like, oh, that's weird. And it seemed wrong, but like, I don't know, I don't have this connection to like the rhythms, the biarrisms. I think you nailed it. It's exactly that word. Like, it's not, you know, we'll play the games, whatever.

It'll be fine, whatever. but it's like it's unsettling to the bio rhythms particularly against the backdrop of it's so right so funny because like 10 minutes ago when i said i thought i had a contrary take to this my my contrarian take at the start of the show was going to be that with and just just put the whole roll out list here with the transfer with the transfer portal with all of the covid super senior still not migrated out with all this stuff i had kind of been really looking forward to this year as kind of a mental reset of okay i don't know who what i don't know who was on what team or what team is playing where let's vibe but like against the backdrop of all of that

already shifting landscape like this is a further shock to the biow rhythms that's just a little too bracing i feel the same way about like i i'm glad the apple cup has survived conference realignment i don't like that it's where like i don't like that it's not at the end of the season yeah like i'm used to them playing in an ice fog Yeah, I think that, I agree with that. Like, I think your, like, your state rival should be at the end, but. I like that, and I, to use another example, I like that Iowa, Iowa State is week two. I think that's great.

It does not deserve rival. But it's, it's, I like that it's helpful as, like, an anchor point of, like, oh, these are the emotional journeys I'm going to go on through the college football season. Oh. Like, if you moved Iowa, Iowa State to the end of the year, I think it would improve. It would be bad because by that point the offenses are in sync enough to score like 12 months. Right, and then you wouldn't get to see Nebraska lose to Iowa.

A thing we all love. Got that. The Big Ten has one version of this, which is they want Ohio State and Penn State to be 8 and 0. They want them both to get really fat on beating up all their shitty teams that they have so that they can have like a number one version of number two. The teams that they are so virtuous for playing? I think you mean rolling through the gaunt

we're so fucking tough because we play a ninth game against Purdue. We went, can you do it on a cold night? in West Lafayette on a sort of humid night. It was easy? Oh. Do it, listen. But they beat the Ohio State those like four times ever.

I've got it. You know what we're going to lean into this year? Do you know who Ole Miss and Mississippi State have during Socon Challenge Week? During the lead up to the Egg Bowl? No. Nobody. Because the SEC is clearly in the tank for both Mississippi schools. That both Egg Bowl teams have a buy.

In my head, Mississippi State somehow got away with like, we only scheduled seven games. We don't want to play all of. Everybody be cool. They could probably get away with that. They probably could. Hey, we're trying to figure this shit out over here. Let's let us lay low.

Just say the NCAA revoked our wins. Like, if they just... Okay, listen, listen, they get to... Okay, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out. Texas A&M is allegedly supposed to host Mississippi State in week on October 4 Texas A&M at that point will be coming out of

their Auburn game which seems likely to cause them misery regardless of whether or not they win because this is just the kind of game where they will shoot themselves in both feet and both hands what if Texas A&M calls up Mississippi State

and it's like listen like just come over we're going to set some Xboxes out we're going to stage a power outage in the stadium Like those fake cricket games, they were setting up in Indiana, two full betters. Yeah, listen, we're going to, with the machines that we use to control the weather for the oil companies. Have you seen the dance party at home alone? They've been initially tricks.

We're going to do that. Bring your Michael Jordan cut out at a train. Like, I feel like A&M, A&M spiritually at that point, they have a buy two weeks before, but spiritually at that point A&M is going to need a break. Yeah. How long would it, how long would it take them to notice? Like, honestly, if Mississippi State just skipped a game, No, because this is, it's the start of October 4th. It's the onset of, like, major, major conference.

Like, everybody is in the thick of conference point at that point. Who would notice? I mean, you could probably get to, if Mississippi State just, like, took the year off, you could get to week three, four before. Damn, it takes me a minute. Yeah. Like, Jason, you pay attention to these things. You could get through four full.

Two weeks? Look at their schedule. You could get through four. I mean, I would look at the standings after each week, but, like, if Mississippi State's, oh, no, after week when I'd be like, I'm not going to look into that. Right. Because here's their, the only power, I'm still saying power whatever, sorry, the only power whatever game they have before week five is Arizona State.

And tell me honestly, if in week two you heard like, whoa, Arizona State went to Starkville and they said nobody was there, you would just be like, yeah, that makes sense and just kind of keep it going. Yeah. Like that does sound like something that would happen to both of those schools. And given what transpired last year, if you were like, Arizona State. they'd be them by 40. It'd be like, yeah, you know. They're going to call it the Langalears Bowl. They're making it a tradition.

I do like that because it's like, well, either Arizona State got lost or Mississippi State quit. Both of those seem equally likely. And there's also enough thing, like that's the same day that Oklahoma plays Michigan. So a ton of attention. They got cover. We get, we have, we have suppressing fire elsewhere. And think about this. Listen, Tennessee goes, play this out, play this all the way out.

Dude, okay, this could actually get a really long way. So Mississippi State plays Tennessee, same day as Alabama, Georgia. Right. But also Tennessee is so, is going to be so, I don't think it's going to be fun this year for Tennessee because after last year, they're going to be wound so fucking tight due to their crash out of the playoffs, lost their quarterback. This is always the year that everything was supposed to gel, right? Like at the start of, you know, at the onset of the hyper area like this year, we're supposed to be the year. And they're going to be wound so fucking tight that if they go to start real and there's no team, they're going to be like, cool. That's fine. Everything's fine. Just keep. going even though there's one week i was like i don't know maybe attention will have to be paid to them when mississippi state plays a and m on october fourth as holly said a lot a lot of teams are on by that that week in the cc but alabama host vanderbilt revenge game and also texas is playing florida just which just feels like it's going to be real stupid yeah there is some chance by the time we get to it right we don't need to watch that good it's fine

also unless we forget the annual what the annual sorry speaking of shooting yourself in both feet in both hands georgia kentucky is also i have so much respect for how coach stoops doesn't want to do anything during the game how it wants nothing to happen that's real football just self-impose a tv ban i think that's the answer to say i think i think we've arrived at the universal answer though if they self-imposed a football ban yeah i think we could get to week three and you could deter 98, 99% of football fans curious about why Mississippi State or any other team hadn't played by just going, oh, yeah, man, that's just, they don't have, you know, that's schedule schedule a couple of weeks.

Transfer portal and just shake your head. Here's all you got to say, Farmageddon week zero, man. I don't know what to tell you. They had that game week. You wouldn't remember either. You'd be like, they had that game week zero and you'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah. Are you guys still going to do the thing where you go to Oasis and then Farmageddon? We have to get to Croke Park, yeah.

such a good plan. It is a good plan. We could still try to pull the trigger, brother. Spencer and Ryan are going to Ireland to pull the trigger. Tell that to customs. How is it we don't have a game called the Troubles? I have a couple of reasons. Kansas, Missouri is pretty close.

Listen, Kansas, Missouri has some historical reason to be called the Troubles. Kansas, Missouri could take that. Florida State had some troubles there. with the snap so to speak yeah yeah that's um there's a reason for that tisney kentucky that would be a great name for it i only have one real reason we shouldn't do that which is that if we did do you yeah is there a reason we shouldn't make a joke about that that i didn't mean the joke i mean the the plan the plan the plan we have for the troubles let's hear Yeah, for the Oasis.

I'm really hoping whatever bot scraped the transcript for this episode. Yes, for the Oasis Farmageddon double is that I don't want Ryan to see me that emotional because if I go to an Oasis show, I will cry like a scalded child. I don't know. Don't care. All I know is you can take me there. My brother did I get along fine. See, we believe in each other. It's like you and my brother. brother. He and I don't talk and sometimes I wonder if it's because we we don't care enough

or if it's because we care too much. And that beard can hold a lot of tears. It's so, it'd be so nasty. It'd just be like when you pull a wet, when you pull a wet broilop pad off the bottom of the sink. Oh, it's like pulling a dog out of the pool. Yeah, it's not good. Yeah, I did the, I did the start to laugh, uh, stay to worship thing where I was looking up clips. I was like, ha, ha, ha, but there's a lot of like bald dads crying in Cardiff, right? and I pull up a clip of the Oasis show and part of... That's pretty bold to you to say after going to Pearl Jam.

Yeah. Listen. Yeah. So like 90 seconds into watching those videos, I'm tearing up like, it's so beautiful. See, they're brothers, but now they reconciled and there's all these.

Sally can wait, but you know what? Can't? I mean, they did... Brothers. They did dedicate a song to Diego Hota. So, you know, there were real reasons to cry.

but Ryan that was an evil game thank you yeah thanks yeah thanks again did we finish it yeah okay cool yeah all this guy I'm still trying to figure that would be that would be a real good satisfying ending to a saw seed where you're like am I done did I do the yeah I don't understand did I do the thing do you know who would okay I was I was actually just going through Mississippi State schedule and seeing who I thought would immediately complain to the conference and ruin the whole thing and the answer is, of course, that it is Texas, but only because they get there before Arkansas does. But that's October 25th.

They can make it a good long way. Yeah. Again, this just would continue to prove that the conference is in the tank for both Mississippi schools, though, so which I think we all know. Texas A&MLSU being played on October 25th, Garbage. Fine. God. You know what? Okay.

You know, LSU should not play. Maybe this is how we, I think I've solved something here. I think I've cracked something. Maybe this is how we solve the, well, the powers that be keep wanting to extend the season and for reasons of wear and tear on the player's body. I'm not even going to cite academic concerns because we know that's not real anywhere in any conference. Oh, it's really, no, it's not.

Hush, you're here too. But what if we did overlapping schedules that did not overlap all the way? and what I like staggered start times for certain team schedules and what I mean is this LSU as we all know should not play games after dark and they get mad about this and sometimes people like to make fun of them about it but honest to God have you tried to sit in Baton Rouge in September on concrete bleachers in September at 3 p.m. You don't want to do that. Nobody wants to do that. It's much more interesting after dark. I don't think LSU should play games in daylight at home. I also don't think LSU should play games before October. Yes. Just in

because they're kind of spooky and don't you want don't you want maximum spookiness let ls you want to make the seasons longer let some teams opt to start theirs in october and some and some end there's earlier by the same token and then that's fun because then you're like okay alice here brian kelly you're starting your season look at these teams that already have losses all you have to up you've fucked it up you immediately fucked it up and you're first so we saw so everyone saw i would really love the drama of knowing that you had a home like if you had a full home game run right you're like ls u's gotten over the mountains now they're in the home stretch let's see what happens and there were six night games in a row at baton rouge and tiger stadium where

where everything was on the line every week dude if i'm a tv exact i'd be like do that oh my god we have our night game i'm saying every single so we could have sports right now and not what we're doing. We just, we just came back from, uh, we, we just came back from, uh, we, we just came back for some time in Michigan. Perfectly pleasant up there. Get those boys on the field. Get a game. They won't, they won't have to miss school because it's in the summer. Um, speaking of charity bowl related events, can we transition to podcast business? Podcast business. Podcast business. What's a business? Podcast business. Add some business. Podcast business. Six straight home games.

for LSU. Let's see if they blow some stuff and then we go. We've got some charity bowl news. What is the charity bowl news? Ah, well, we did a lovely little show up in Michigan. So thank you.

Holly and myself joined by Seth from MGO blog who pinched in nicely as... Why did that have to happen? That had to happen because our Quizmaster,

Michael, was caught in the Atlanta airport until 1.30 in the morning. Not for any of the fun usual reasons, but because lightning struck in such a fashion that they had to evacuate Atlanta air traffic control. Yes, yes. God couldn't keep us out of Michigan,

but he tried. He tried. So thanks for everybody who showed out and showed up to the best venue in all of the Midwest, aka the Ann Arbor Public Library. Is this trip three or trip four? This is third trip to the library. second trip for a charity bill show okay yes so what's awesome is we've got people who've come to all

Elsewhere in charitable contributions, we are getting ready to send over our donation for quarter two yeah quarter two of our protect trans kids university uh merch which thanks to you all who purchased these items uh will amount to a little over five hundred dollars can we tell where it's going can we tell where it's going can we tell where it's going tell me tell me tell me tell them who's getting that i will say that i wish we had done these donations in reverse because this one seems like more of a week two donation and when you see where quarter three

donation is going you'll understand but thanks to everybody who wrote in suggesting local and regional trans-supporting organizations that we can use. Our Q2 donations, which again are coming from all items we sell in our merch store at pre-owned airboats.com that have PTKU on them. We are donating all the proceeds for that. We keep nothing. They keep everything. And we are sending a $500 donation-ish from Q2 sales to the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund. It is Q2, which is kind of like week two. which is kind of like Elasico. So I hope you see the vision. I would also like to go ahead and announce the Q3 donation destination.

Because if these emails had come in in reverse order from when they actually did, we would have done this one first. And I hope you will understand why. Because if ever we were to undertake anything like an official trans support organization, I hope you understand why it would have to be Memphis, Tennessee's own. Mid-South Transnation, which is a real organization that exists. Thank you to every multiple people alerted us to this. Thank you for telling us that this group exists.

You can find out more about their work that they do at midsouthtransnation.org for Q3 of this year that is now through September, any purchases you make of PTKU merch in our online store, all of the money from that will go at the, the end of Q3 to Mid-South Transnation, the official quarter three, they don't know this, it's not official, the official quarter three donation, destination, and railroad, why not? Because first time I read this, I was like, Mid-South Transnation, which, you know, we've got an airline. Why not?

The last little bit of merch-related charity stuff, and by the way, you can find all of our merch at pre-owned airboats.com, your number one source for airboats that have been previously loved. I put together a little sticker of my penny inscription on my eagle's jacket because I just fucking felt like it. The proceeds from that are going to the community foundation of the Texas Hill Country. We have a number of listeners in the audience who have connections to this part of Texas that is suffering greatly after the horrific floods there. and we want to do what we can to support. And a lot of listeners have already donated directly, and we appreciate all of you who have.

That's just going to be for this week that the penny sticker is available. And at the end of the week, I will count up all the proceeds from that. I will match it myself, and we will send that money over to help people trying to get out from under that terrible occurrence. And I think that's all the various merchant charitable things that we have going on. But I know there is more podcast business to be told. For one thing, Michael Serper has a new podcast. But I do.

I got a new podcast. It's called Podcasterino, which was probably going to be easier for people to spell than anything with my name in it. So you can go get that on all the places you get podcasts. And we've got a couple episodes. so far where I preview the Tour de France we react to the first couple stages of the Tour de France and robbing us of your cycling content, sir, Burr.

Oh, I'll talk about it here too. He's already adding to it. This is a joke about how before we started recording he was talking about Tour de France for like 40 minutes. Oh yeah, that's right. I was sorry about that. At our requesting. This was not.

Yes. Oh, no, no, no. This is not unwanted cycling content. No, all special interest indulged. I'm welcome here. It's my special interest, yes. um chelsea is going to be doing a gilmore girls episode with me soon we're going to recap season one of gilmore girls i think we might do the explicit rating one yes we're gonna rein that one in a little bit um so uh and then i'm there's no asis episode coming soon nothing special just going to talk about them because i like those guys and they're back uh so yeah it's called podcasterino subscribe to it and listen when you get a chance episodes will come out whenever i feel like it if you want Spencer to cry

money. Is he going to be a Tory bitch about it? Yes. Is he going to give that money to charity? No. He's going to blow it on doing cocaine with some of the most B-list 90s celebrities you've ever seen. Okay? Is Liam going to spend it? No, because Liam doesn't understand money. He buys parkas and he runs. That's all he does anymore. What's up? What's that? Get my Man's City season tickets. And then I type out Bumba Clark on Twitter and hit send. That's Liam Gallagher. Me sing pretty, me not think. I love them so much. It's not a bad life.

Yeah. And you have something you're writing about Oasis for Channel 6? Oasis. You know, I might. I might. That might be when TRL pops up. Why did you, why did you dangle that? I don't.

Because now I have to read it. You don't have to. You can just say whatever. It's my job. I guess that's true. I guess that's true. I'm just Spencer answered. I wouldn't write about it except I see a lot of the kids out there like half that crowd are young people so like I think they should know that they don't I think they should I have a couple of ideas I have a couple of things that I want to tell you the Brian Floyd right thing right now I'm going to ask you is this a post or is this a tweet is a post this is a post damn it Ryan I'm sorry and you have a hard out in like 12 minutes so you're

You're like lighting this fuse and just running to catch a point. I apologize. I have a challenge for you. Thank you, Saul Puppet. Spencer must write about Oasis without being employed. Where can somebody come to read these future writings about Oasis? Oh, you can come to the finest newsletter on these air internet. That would be Channel 6.

That's right, two things a week for $10 a month. Bespoke custom. Not an ounce of AI in there. 100% handcrafted content from Holly Anderson and Spencer Hall. my name first. I did. I did. That includes, by the way, do we have our own in-house strength coach. Yeah, we do. You can do that. He just did a whole thing about how you can fix your life, make yourself a little bit better and stronger. Do we have more interviews with people coming? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Jason, you have a newsletter. Yeah. Yeah. I like it because it's

free and I read it. I read it today. It had some fabulous thoughts in there. Jason says emojis in it. Not enough newsletters use emojis. I like the use of emojis in the Until Saturday newsletter. Got a newsletter that I write. It's called Until Saturday. You can find it at theathletic.com. It's mostly about college football. Today we had a mini review of the video game, CFP 26,

where I tried out the Delaware Blue Hens. And my God, for the past 10 or 15 years of this video game, there's been this thing where it's like, oh, ho, ho, I took over Akron, and we were recruiting better than Ohio State within like nine minutes ha ha ha ha fun's fucking over folks show's over

you thought you were slick you thought you were cute didn't you yeah you thought you were good at this game didn't you no turns out they were taking it fucking easy on you this whole time because this shit is fucking impossible now like it should be you're telling me the game's not left-handed

what does that mean it means that you are the princess bride sure Here, Delaware Blue Hens We're the Princess Bride And like the transfer portal The thing about it is it's going to rip your roster in half Every single time if you're a school

Below like fucking Syracuse Basically Yeah so you know It's like hyper realistic It's more it's I think it's meaner than real life I compared it in the newsletter to like a Dark Souls run It's it's amazing Like we

Me and McKade we sprinting through like four years in dynasty last night and like by year four we're like we're so close to finally filling out an 85 man roster at delaware that's that's how dire this shit was yeah it's fucking awesome it like it doesn't fuck around anymore and have you gotten into road to glory at all yet jason i tried it a little bit we sprinted through um we created uh Caleb from central pennsylvania if you know you know hell is the world without you critically reclaimed 24 shut down full books um as a two star quarterback who made it into wreckers rode the bench for three years um managed to snipe a starting job at Arizona State, then flunk the fuck out of Arizona State.

Who could blame him? Caleb. And then got his life together, got his life together at Marcus Freeman's Wisconsin. Yes, that's right, Marcus Freeman. Real coaches are in the game now. Yes, coaches are in the game with varying levels of accuracy. Does anyone else, by the way, I'm going to pause real quick. Does anyone else have any podcast business because I want to continue the CFB game conversation?

I think the rest of the show is just got to be. game talk. I mean, I was just sort of rambling about what I wrote about in the newsletters. I want you to keep ramble because I want to discuss this. Oh, no, this is a request to keep going because we haven't played it yet. So, Coda. Podcast business concluded. Jason. I mean, the accuracy

as far as their faces, which, ha ha, you know, whatever, video game faces are hard. Uga's very ugly, which is pretty accurate, but that's accurate, yeah. The coach is like, sure, Lane Kiffin's ugly. So what? Lane Kiffin's ugly. They made Lane Kiffin ugly? But like, yeah, what do you want to do with that face. What are they supposed to do, folks?

He seems to have the most easily A-Iable face. I don't know. Like, he doesn't have a lot of features on it. Big old lump of white meat. What do you want them to do with it? They did with the good. They made Billy Napier look like Mike Pence. Yeah, I mean, you know, sure. See, Billy Napier seems like it would be easy

because you just take the thing and you, like, stretch him up a little bit. Just flatten smooth out the thing. Yeah, the game's hard as shit. That's the main thing. Mike Pence and Billy Napier are both not making it to an NFL game so I was watching Tyler I am stream the game and he's playing road to glory it's great because he's getting offers right it'll be like it'll be like Kirby smart is interested they're like no thanks no you could turn people down and it's like

not exactly polite yeah yeah if if a coach is like hey we want you to try this or that or whatever you can just say like fuck off it won't say fuck off but you know it kind of basically does bellichick's not in it no belichick has never had fun his son is in it stephen bellichick is in the game that you could play as revealed by split zone duo a belichick is in it yeah so bill is not in the game bill has never been in a video game he's he's like michael jordan in that way and only that way he might have been in i think also in the fuck them kids way I think he might have been in one

he was in like one random knock off weird one yeah forever ago I'm not I'm waiting until I get the Dr. Mario offer not going to be in anything else I want to be the bluebacker he does kind of look like

Dr. Mario He wants to be an unlockable horse in that anime girl horse racing game who doesn't listen if you told me Bill Belich was playing himself in Red Dead 3 that I would be on board if you told me Bill Belichick was playing himself in the anime horse girl game after seeing all the photographs of him in that Nantucket

boat magazine I would buy this without question uh-huh yeah two interesting trends I've noticed uh in dynasty mode so far is that Duke and Mississippi State are fucking untouched they are they're going to start out really really good and stay really really good and be a in the playoff every year in every dynasty you do. This was the obvious Mani Diaz bias. Every addition of this game has their teams that are randomly good. In 14, it was like the triple

option teams. If you let Dynasty play itself, it's like, why is Army Georgia Tech the title game every year? Last year it was like, oh, fucking Texas State is good and Oregon wins the title every year. This time around Duke, like Duke was in EA's original top 25. They did make it more realistic.

A bit comical because Duke is like number 54 in FPI, number like 46 and SP Plus, whatever. And like, ha ha, L.O.L. If Duke makes the playoff this year, fine, whatever. But Duke's not making the playoff this year. So, whatever. But, like, Duke in the video, bring it on.

Duke in the video game is, they're in like the title game in the second year of Dynasty. They're not just top 25. They're legitimately incredible in this game. Consistently 11 and 1 or 12 and now. As God intended, that's great.

Hell yeah, dude football Do you think they did that specifically to be like, oh, Bill doesn't want to be in the game? Great, turn Duke to 11. I think there's somebody at EA who's just so goddamn high on Darien Mensa. Somebody's like, Darian Mensa's the greatest Gubee ever.

I think the theory I floated was they are just jacked up because the college basketball video game is coming back. My theory is that somebody at EA knows I mean, it's the sunrise sunset of it all where I say, you have a high-paying FBS head coaching job. Yay!

It's at Duke. Oh, no! It's fine. The Duke job is fine. Right now it is fine. Historically, it has not been. Right now it is fine. The word that is correct is fine.

Like, we are, I think we're pretty rapidly moving to a place where there are great jobs and there are some really tough jobs, and most of the jobs are just going to end up being fine. Like life. Thank you.
