Starting point is 00:00:00 I was just thinking there's this whole episode of Mad Men where Don just like hanging out with these like vagabond hippies who are like, hey man, try this pill. And he's like driving drunk with a tumbler, scotch in his hand, gone off some sort of prescription med. And then there's a cut in the episode and he's just faced down and he's been robbed in a hotel room. And I was like, there's a non-zero chance that's happened to Urban over the last three years. We used to make things in this country. Yeah. Like pills. Like pills.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Yeah. Now you can buy them in Canada. That's where I go. But the problem is you steal Urban Meyer's wallet. You're like, it's just Steve Adazio's business card. That's all that's in here. I didn't actually know that Buffalo Wild Wings gave out tokens. Just picture and just pictures of Steve a black card.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah. Yeah. It's just for loyal service. And it has a buffalo with a crown on it. Wallet photos of Steve Adazio doing curls. Yeah. Who still uses Travelo's check? He's got like $5,000 in Traveler's check.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Fucked up, man. Mashed out from Zach Smith. Yeah. Come to the shutdown, full cat. A lot of range on that one. Really like good back swing, good, like, really loved it. Yeah, it was an easy one. It was like a Freddie couple swing, baby.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Oh, so smooth. Why you got to get me all hot and bothered at the start of the show by mentioning Freddie couples? Oh, dang. Not called Freddy singles. I'll tell you that. His name is the most beautiful single sentence of all. I am Spencer Hall. You are listening to the only college football podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:57 joined us always by Ryan, Jason, Holly, and on the ones into Michael Serber. He gets the last name. Yeah. No,
Starting point is 00:02:09 the rest of you are like paylay. We're like mononyms. Wait, why can't server be Hulk? You took a thing that was actually a sign of respect for me and then turned it very quickly into it like I don't get a cool
Starting point is 00:02:21 Pele name. Yes, we all get two and server gets Usted. Well, yeah, he'd be the goalie. The goalie gets two names. That's not what that's not really by two. So the thing I wanted to talk about
Starting point is 00:02:32 now that we've gotten down is a really important stuff. I believe it's brought to you by Coors Light, Mountain Cold Refreshment Made to Chill, but... So they get a last name. We'll call... It's actually all one word.
Starting point is 00:02:44 We'll call Serber... We'll call Serber... We'll call Serber Migalito. God damn, that goes. Thank you. Yeah. You know, Miguelito. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:56 El He'll have a... How do you think it went the first time somebody suggested to somebody else who had an upset tummy? Like, hey, you should have some sprite. Like, what do you think the first time that conversation happened went like? Because I got to tell you, sight unseen, if I wasn't feeling well, and a stranger was just like, drink soda, I think I would be pretty skeptical. I'm going to guess it went great because the logic of it lines up. Like, why do we like it now? It's because, oh, because the bubbles will fix it.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Because it moves good. When it's in your tummy, it moves around, and it'll rearrange everything. Contained citrus. The same logic was there when we first discovered water with bubbles in it. Sure. Like Cinderella's magic broom, but for your tummy. Well, it feels like, like, frontier medicine logic that we still hold on to because why? Because it's true.
Starting point is 00:03:47 That's why. That's fair point. If it was presented with no authority and from a person with no medical training, they would accept it. if it came from a doctor we would be instantly suspicious because remember the I have to translate this The Sprite lobby controls doctors
Starting point is 00:04:01 Right That's there's always been this Fane and American thinking of flight That's what they want That's what they want you to do The Spaniard they've planned They give the doctors $10,000 worth of Sprite travel
Starting point is 00:04:11 Then the doctor tells you to drink Sprat Even though you don't need it It's my favorite thing Where somebody goes Oh you think you know something I don't Yeah probably Probably brother Every evidence is suggested
Starting point is 00:04:24 it. Yeah. Not only am I not taking sprat. I'm never drinking Spratt. Big 7-Up is pulling all the strings behind the scenes. Now, Ginger Ale, though, that one's real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's because it's got Eastern medicine. Well, because, like, because ginger ale is beyond just one company.
Starting point is 00:04:43 You can't, you can't blame the Coca-Cola company or the Pepsi company. That's right. Yeah, like ISIS. There's no central authority. Yeah, there's no way to pin down ginger ale. Now, you want to avoid seven up, though, because that gets a little too close to the grasping tentacles of Dr. Pepper. That's right.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Be part of our, be part of the, uh, Werner's sponsor, Noble Guerrilla War against hurt stummy. Stummy hurt, apply Vernors. That's actually true. Brunner is gross. Oh, God. Go ahead. Michigan. Money Canada is going to be fucking.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I thought it was from Vermont. Vernors? I don't, I have only ever associated. Oh, wait. Am I missing up with Red Rock? Which one's the red one? Is Vermont not part of Michigan? Vernors is not red.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I'm thinking about the red one, which is vile. Vernors is from Detroit. Yeah, Vernors is like kind of had Vernors. Kind of pecanter, ginger ale. Am I in a different kind of trouble now because I don't know what it was? No, I think you're better. I think, yeah, you'll just be corrected. All right, all right, all right, not a problem.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I accept. Do you think other, I mean, I know like soft drinks, like Pepsi's name comes from, this will help you with some medical, like dyspepsia or whatever, right? Oh my God, I never thought about that. I'm pretty sure that's literally where the name comes from. The first one was anthraxie. They're like, no, no, no, no, too broad. So what is Meloillowell is supposed to cure?
Starting point is 00:06:15 P. So the two big sodas are named after cocaine and dyspepsia. I think that's right. I also. And then there is literal Dr. Pepper. mm-hmm the one who prescribed all of this yeah i thought pepsi was ancient greek for is pepsi okay or for we're out of coke oh god that was even for me that was bad that's all right Pepsi is okay honestly yes Pepsi was advertised to relieve dis Pepsi i didn't make that up
Starting point is 00:06:41 which is indigestion sorry Pepsi it got no museum how are we supposed to know server are you gonna tell us some tales of cheer wine or you got something else well um Sprite was launched in 1961. The first major lemon lime soda was launched in 1929, which was 7-Up. But it's worth mentioning that both Pepsi and Coca-Cola upon their launch were marketed as like magic elixirs that would cure your ailments. So this conversation initially started, when do you think the first time someone said, have some Sprite if you're sick? I think like the exact day that Sprite launched someone was like, finally, I was sitting, that 7-Up ain't working no more. I just think it's funny that the most unhealthy thing
Starting point is 00:07:24 that there is in the United States of America actually was launched as medicine. Sure, like cereal's the same way. Like, cereal's all like, yeah. Like, it was like four to five doctors prefer moral. Yes, yes. I mean, I think with soda. They did, though, because doctors are coffee.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Do you all know about the weird origins of the Kellogg's company? Yeah, it was an insane asylum, correct? Okay. It was so those people would stop masturbating. Yep. So it feels like the soda thing is about caffeine makes you feel a certain way, therefore you're not sick anymore. So let's just tell them it cures it.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I just, I want to get back to a place where our soda companies are also trying to cure our bodies. Like I think we've gotten too far away from those origins. And we need Coca-Cola and the Pepsi-Cola company and everybody, like we need everybody to start being like, okay, this is. we have new products to cure all your issues. Ryan, are you saying we need to bring back power-ups? That's correct, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Like pizza needs to restore your hit points again? Yes, I need to be able to punch a trash can and find a fully cooked turkey that I can step on and then get full life. And also there's maybe there's a machine gun in there too. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I appreciate energy drinks for never taking this tack. Energy drinks at no point. at no point have energy drinks really fully embraced the this is also good for you they've always they've always completely sidestepped that with bluster like so monster has it got any other benefits is it going to make me like smart and they're like it's monster mental boost what does it do it goes it pushes your heart to its limits we're not of course talking about the mountain dew line of energy drinks no because that does provide mental boost and use and increase the real it extended my hit points beyond the normal you have the normal red life meter it gave me an additional gold life meter yeah and we're also not talking about gatorade fast switch which you can outrun anyone with which that doubled my mana yeah yeah right didn't you have a
Starting point is 00:09:33 didn't you have a holiday tale about a gatorade fast switch over thanksgiving uh we brought uh Gatorade sent us some fast twitch that i had not gotten around to opening yet and my wife is She was in tech for the Christmas show they're doing at her theater company. So she brought it in. And those theater nerds, they fucking loved Gatorade Fast Wits. They were like, please give us more of this. Where is more? We need this. Sports dorks, drama dorks, Gatorade Fast Witches, Universal.
Starting point is 00:10:02 It's for all. It's for all. I just keep hearing the street fighter theme music every time you talk about people opening a can of faster. She's like, Oliver, Oliver. I'm going fast, fagin. Mm-hmm. yeah energy drinks no such promises like 100% jolt cola no no lies told surge oh man yeah well you know remember like the the old timey christmas specials that were all sponsored by one thing which is how
Starting point is 00:10:33 we ran into the craft nightmare of last year um that we didn't finish because everybody involved got sick uh probably not from the craft but what if we had i'm trying to imagine like a mountain do sponsored televised production of a Christmas carol. That seems entirely. It is where I'm trying to get. I'm open to anything. Like SunKist PM, like the orange soda that helps you sleep. Moonkest.

Starting point is 00:13:06 Last-minute tickets, lowest price, guaranteed. Anyway, Spencer wanted to talk about the playoff. I wanted to talk about this quote. The dog is trying to stop him, and I appreciate that. I am trying to make that dog quiet with my mind. Hold on, let's watch this go. Professor X of dogs. Ready, begin.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It's failing miserably. The dog's telepathic powers are too great. Get out of there. That raises a good question. Could Professor X read animal minds? Isn't it only mutants? I don't, is it out, is it? No, he can, in some versions, he can read regular.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It just depends who's writing it, yeah. But like, could he look at a squirrel and just hear it go, DUR! No, squirrels have very deep thoughts. Like, did you think that all squirrels are going around like Daryl? Just like, oh, Squirrel. Jump!
Starting point is 00:14:00 Run, jump! When a squirrel sees a street, it says, I'm going to run 99% of the way across the street and then run back. back and when I'm going to see how close I can get to making a car hit me. Because I'm exploring the thin line between life and death that we all dance upon all day. I'm a squirrel. I'm collecting research on this. You'll see. I wanted to cover this, which was from the piece about how the playoff committee made up its mind not to admit Florida State.
Starting point is 00:14:35 This is excerpted by Roger Sherman. I think that's... Oh, yeah, we should probably... If you get all your news from the full cast and the last episode you heard was us saying, they're definitely going to keep Florida State in. They didn't do that. Just so you know.
Starting point is 00:14:48 So, Bob Stoops has left Oklahoma. Yep. And the 2023 playoff field does not include Florida State. Spencer, are you referring to Heather Dennis to this post? Yes. Yes. Roger cut this piece and it's pretty great. it wasn't until the ACC championship game began to unfold though
Starting point is 00:15:12 that the members' opinions began to truly take shape the group grew concerned as it watched the Null's struggle to get a first down in the first half I love several different angles on this one congratulations to Louisville on playing such a disgusting game that you knocked the other team
Starting point is 00:15:32 out of the playoff and without winning that's amazing I love that Jack Plummer and the collective wretch reflex that was Louisville football in that game played such a putrid game that they managed to poison
Starting point is 00:15:47 even the viable playoff contender in that same game congratulations that is that's all you want to do if you can't win the game ruin the prospects of the opponent on a permanent basis so well done
Starting point is 00:16:03 that's not your fault by the way. That's the committee the committee's like sudden freestyle vibes kind of based approach kicking in at exactly the wrong time for Florida State. But Florida State, roll to avoid Louisville's exploding corpse.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Oh, you got three. You're covered in Louisville poison now. You're covered in pizza sauce. Like was there, like if Louisville hadn't gotten six points, are we good? Like six, how do you keep out a team that
Starting point is 00:16:33 one that shut out their final top 20 opponent like or if florist it had gotten to 30 points are we good have a curly a on the helmet i there's gotta be a number that's like beyond the point at which even they could push the argument right i think you're right yes there there does have to be it couldn't have just been no matter what all of this like ignores that floristate had to do this with their third stringer like on very little prep yes like it was not yeah um I think, and they haven't said this, and none of them will, but I think a lot of this came down to, yes, we know we have Louisville in the top 20. We don't think Louisville is good. We don't think Louisville is good.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Like, we have to do this because we recognize, like, that their record requires a certain level of respect and whatever. But I think based on. Oh, does it, right? I said a certain level. I said a certain, listen, listen, this. is the same committee that was like wise liberty the top g5 team they have they have literally the worst they had literally the worst strength of schedule in the nation and the committee's like well winning matters a lot what do you guys so crazy all right one member of the committee just
Starting point is 00:17:52 piping up like i'm just trying to bring back the apocalypse by endorsing good christian soldiers did i say that out loud fuck fuck all right spencer please i'm sorry you were that is the lighting things yeah see the southern Methodist no less there's literally by accent closer to Jesus. Those Yankees. Those Richmond, north of Richmond in
Starting point is 00:18:13 Pittsburgh, Virginia. But they're cookies! I don't know where Lynchburg is in relation to Richmond, but it's north now. The funniest thing would be if you went back in time and Jesus and all the apostles had Baltimore accents, right?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah. Like that would be the funniest, the funniest thing you could determine. I wouldn't betray you. oh you will I love that Louisville managed to do that I also love that after a decade of setting up this play action where I anticipated the committee doing the conspiratorial thing
Starting point is 00:18:53 and making the decision for television and ratings and tickets and trying to set up the best possible matchups even if the actual regular season records didn't reflect that that they waited this long to do the rug pull. They waited until the final year before playoff expansion to go ahead and sink the hook deep friends.
Starting point is 00:19:14 That's play calling. That's well done. That is bureaucratic. That is bureaucratic load shifting on a degree to which you can only applaud the audacity and skill involved because, and I had this, this is like talking about Richard Johnson,
Starting point is 00:19:31 talking about this with Richard Johnson is primarily like my I was proven wrong and then not because I kept every time this came around every year Richard and I would talk and Richard would go dude they can only do so many things and I would go no no no I don't trust this institution and the institution would do the anodyne boring kind of responsible thing by actually following their own rules and only in their final year did they finally rip off the mask and just like anyone sitting like you know 48 beers deep at the bar go these guys look like ass don't put them in based on like fs you can't get the big hit yeah yeah the fs u can't get the big hit i don't think they're clutch the fucked up thing is this was the first year that they actually did follow their rules like the first nine editions of this um they did not do best team 2015 Ohio state was a better team than 2015 Michigan state but they followed head to head and standings and things of that you know things that normal sports give a shit things that people care 2018, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Things that should matter. 2018, Georgia was one of the four best teams. 2022, Alabama was a better team than 2022 C.TCU. But all along, they followed most deserving. They said, we picked best. No, they picked most deserving. Now, all of a sudden, in year 10, they go with quote fingers best instead of most deserving and pretend this is what they've done all along, right?
Starting point is 00:20:56 And that to me is the second craziest part of the whole thing, is and in the ESPN post that that Roger cited there's even like quoting an ex-committee and an anonymous ex-committee member who's basically like yeah they kind of lost the plot here which is like you know the whole best thing was lip service all along it was most deserving is what people want out of a playoff best is what you want out of bowl games bowl games you want it would be cool if this team played that team most deserving is what you want in a tournament if you took 13 people with extremely limited understanding of college football you just sort of laid out like the basic parameters and like here's sort of the relative rankings of
Starting point is 00:21:37 the conferences and the saturn whatever they're definitely putting florida state in right like i don't yeah i i think this is in my head the best way i have been able to wrangle it is this is an example of, and I do this shit all the time in a million ways, this is way overthinking a thing. Like they took something that should have been relatively simple and they just sort of galaxy brained it to a conclusion that is, that bears some logical, that has some logical weight to it, but is also just like so overwrought. So, so, so overwrought. it's it's the flawed premise of we want four best teams that's not what anyone wants but all this time they managed to ignore that and put together a decent playoff this time all of a sudden somehow the best thing clogged their brains and that's what they went with and dude yeah and it ended up the effect of it was their first ever rug pull like that part's absolutely true um the effect of it was we had thought that this goofy ass institution was going to you know through it all despite it all give us a good play a fair playoff every year and for the first time they followed the letter of their own law and
Starting point is 00:22:57 it gave us the worst playoff yet um which to me the premise is flawed from the very beginning but it never mattered and now it matters because best is first of all it's completely subjective um secondly bama's not one of the four best to this point they could win at all they could win at all but the power rankings composite bama is number five ohio state should be in if you actually want the four best teams Like Vegas would favor Ohio State over Alabama, according to the power rankings. So if we're about it, then we're about it. Put Ohio State in. I cannot stand for that.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Not even theoretically speaking. Also, they did just lose their quarterback, by the way. That's why. Oh, shit. Yeah, they can't go now. So what does the committee do? What does the committee do if a quarterback of a playoff team opts out? Just opts out in transfers.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Nope, nope. Get them out of here. Send someone else in. The other thing, and my boss brought this up, there's really no reason because all this is made up anyway. Like, the most ball and thing the playoff could have done would say, like, okay, we've just decided to have a playing game. Like, Alabama, Florida State, in a week you are meeting in the Jerry Dome, and you're going to play for the fourth spot. And that's it. that's just what we're going to do and nobody would have to go like crawl up their own ass about like but what about the precedent precedent doesn't matter we're about to do 12 teams like just just
Starting point is 00:24:28 i i i think there are there's no i can't find any flaw with that like yeah i would have pissed off georgia fans and yeah what a pissed off ohio state of fans that's fine like that's the other part is i see a lot of people saying like well thank god we're about to move to 12 teams and we're not going to have to deal with this anymore we're not going to have to deal with this specific situation anymore. But the idea, and I have a colleague writing about this, the idea that we're going to expand the playoff field to now include two loss teams and sometimes three lost teams, and it's going to be less divisive when there are more two loss and three loss teams. And now you get into the weird questions of like before you could take a group of five team and say like,
Starting point is 00:25:11 if you have a loss, you're out. Like one loss is all it takes. Sometimes even going undefeated doesn't matter. But now we are going to have a weird time where it's like, is this one lost G5 team better than this three lost big 10 team? That's an argument we're going to have at some point. It's going to get, it's not going to get less contentious. It's going to get way more contentious. It'll be at a slightly lower level. But if you look at the teams right now that are in that like 11 to 15 range, it's like Oklahoma and Penn State and Ole Miss and LSU, it's not like, oh good, we've gotten away from the fan bases that'll be really mad. If we leave it out,
Starting point is 00:25:48 tears straight into them. Yeah, and like, so you're telling me we're going to have a system where, you know, some year we'll have five Big Ten teams or five SEC teams or both. And everyone's going to feel great about that. Like, we're expanding it to make sure we can get some nine and three Auburn team in there and everyone thinks that's awesome. And like the other thing is the top four still gets like buys. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Like, it's still a huge benefit to rank in the top four. It's still a big deal. and you get home field advantage. Yes, there's a bunch that goes into it. Hey, I know what we're not going to see. We're not going to see a two-lossed ACC team in there because don't try to, don't try to exchange those ACC bucks. No, that currency is no good here anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:30 If we can wave off an undefeated ACC team, holy hell, if you lost two games in the ACC, that's like four games in the Big Ten of the SEC. We're not even going to pay attention to it. Like, is Iowa getting into 12-team playoff this year? This year? Yeah. What are they ranked like?
Starting point is 00:26:48 I would say in our vibes-based economy that we have now, no. I think they would have watched the Big Ten championship game, and they would have done the same thing with Louisville and Florida State and gone, we can't let this happen. So they ranked 17th. Is this like if they had lost one fewer game or whatever? I guess like, yeah, well, to me the thing would be like, you're going to get a bunch of these weird arguments with conference championship losers where it's like they only have that. that second or third loss because they made the conference championship game. Now you're punishing teams for doing well, which is going to be insane. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I get why Florida state fans are mad and I don't think they're wrong to be. And at the same time, like, nothing about this sport has ever been built towards identifying a national champion. And it never will be for the simple fact that there's 130 fucking teams and they only play 12 games. And also to win the Super Bowl, you have. have to win what a minimum of 20 games right 17 regular season you have to play a minimum of 20 games you got to play 17 regular season games divisional conference championship Super Bowl that's for a league that has like 20% as as many franchises and has salary caps and has you know the draft and a bunch of ways to build equity between them and controls all the scheduling
Starting point is 00:28:09 like everything about this sport is built so that you just get to the end of the year and you're like I don't know, let's fight about it. We have other college sports with even more teams that manage to figure out a national champion in an orderly way. I just, orderly is never going to fit college football. It's not the history. And I don't know, like, I don't know really the obsession with moving towards. Well, I know it makes a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:28:32 But like, we just need to go back. Fuck the playoff. I've been saying it for a few years, but the playoff is stupid and bad. No one will ever listen to me. It's fine. Go back to the bowl season and add a plus one after bowl season. Let's go even further. They're back.
Starting point is 00:28:46 One bowl? Let's move in further back. No, let's go back to the days when the AP and the coaches poll decided who won the national title. And the final vote happened before bowl season. So you can win the national title and then go fart away your ball game. The balls are just for the Duke Mayo dump after and.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And the Pop-Tart champ. That's it. It's going to be so horrifying watching this mascot with eyes come out get devoured as it's standing there on the field. players are and now now we're going to go make Florida State play Georgia
Starting point is 00:29:21 the reason they're in like I understand that there's a decent chance Florida State might have got passed over for Texas even if Georgia had one but I don't know if that's the case or not I do know that because Georgia lost to Alabama Bama got in and Florida State didn't
Starting point is 00:29:37 and now Florida State has to go play this team that basically fucked up their whole season yeah I mean I think if Georgia had won the argument that FSU shouldn't be in would have been a lot harder to make. I realized it was already about as hard as possibly could be. But at that point, like, Texas is valued. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Like, to me, this isn't a consolation compromise kind of thing. This is FSU, you are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very. briefly, somehow, against all odds, America's team. No one ever, ever would have ever imagined this happening, but you are the country. And then Rick Scott showed up. And then Ron DeSantis showed up. I love, I love that. I love politicians showing up.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Donald Trump is tweeting about the first ever power five team to be left out of the playoff. So close, big dogs. So close. Oh, yeah. Like dogs to the kitchen when they hear somebody in there like, A free hamburger for me? Rick Scott has opinions.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Like, dog, go to jail. Go to jail. My thing is like, so FSU, Georgia, FSU, you beat Georgia. You're a two touchdown underdog. Got it. We see that every year. Every year there's numerous multiple touchdown upsets. FSU upsets Georgia.
Starting point is 00:31:05 There's this weird thing where it's like, maybe they should claim a title. A fucking course they should claim a title. Like, do you know how many more titles? claims college football history should have i'm not joking like yes they should claim a title 2017 UCF was right if 2023 fSU wants to win at all and then apologize to 2017 UCF on the way to claiming a 2023 title do it unless georgia fucks it up for unless georgia wins is that what you're saying yeah yeah well yeah if georgia if georgia if georgia wins then you didn't have an you know then fine okay and then georgia's deprived florida state of two shots you have to beat georgia if you
Starting point is 00:31:42 Georgia, you had better put a 23 on your stadium. If that happens, by the way, it will be because they played covered two. If you did not see this, one reason that Alabama managed to throttle the Georgia offense was because they came in with a brilliant plan to play, and let's get a little bit into the weeds here. They were going to play an odd front, and they were going to have all these big complex ideas in order to keep Georgia from running the ball, but also keep men in coverage. and after the first series, Nick Save and Trash the entire game plan for
Starting point is 00:32:14 Why don't you guys play even up front and play split safeties? That's what they did. The adjustment happened after a drive, a single drive, and that was enough to break the mind of Mike Bobo. They had no solution for it. None.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Nick said, it's great in the post game. Nick goes, I just told them to just do this. We'll get pressure with four. And I don't know. It'll have a middle work. It was absolutely brilliant.
Starting point is 00:32:45 If you want to know why the 72 year old coach managed to sneak it in the playoff, it's because he was like, well, we're idiots. We've got big ideas. Stop. Just let the players play. Why don't you guys go out there and cover two and just knock some heads? And it worked. It 100% worked.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Holly, you don't have to answer this. And maybe we're saving her for 40 for 40. Do you have feelings about being drawn against Iowa in a bowl game this year? It kind of, yeah? Is it off character if I say they're good? Okay. That's fine. Like, I, well, we're...
Starting point is 00:33:28 I'm not saying Iowa's bad. I'm more saying, like, I think the thing that everyone... Even people who think Iowa's good, nothing about playing Iowa looks fun. No, but the last meeting between the two of them shows that it can be done. You know, this is, this, this tends to be, it's kind of funny for all the, for all the, for all the humming and screaming that we do about this program, it kind of feels like we only ever played Michigan, Penn State, or Iowa in the postseason last year's delightful result, notwithstanding. But I, I kind of want to see it with, with about a month to get healthy. I'm, I'm interested to see how that, that poor bemoaned offensive front and our little three-hheaded running back holds up against, you know, we got, we got irresistible force from the SEC and a movable object from the Big Ten. Like, I, it feels kind of classic to me. I like this matchup, which is a boring answer.
Starting point is 00:34:29 No, I think that's a very healthy answer. I just didn't know. I just wanted us. That's all. No, and I didn't, I didn't have to struggle to get there anyway. It's like, well, we've got, you know, this season didn't go as a plan. They have not been great on the road, but one of the biggest problems they've had has been health. Well, let's see what we could do to eliminate that problem. And then, you know, and then let's see what happens. I have no clue a month out, again, mostly based on health, what I think about their chances. But I, if I had a pick of matchups, I might have, I might have picked this one myself. Um, then also, you know, shout out to FCS sports.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Uh, the Florida sister sports team just runs like, they run great games. Like they're really fun to go to. So I did like, um, and I'm sorry again. This is the team that sent a charcutory board to Jason last year when he made fun of them. Shout out to our buddy Matt and comms. Oh, that what a ridiculous bowl. Oh, I hope they don't do that again. Please, please don't send Jason.
Starting point is 00:35:33 It was wonderful. More cheese. It's too powerful. I did like, I did like Bo Wallace's reaction to Old Miss getting put in the peach bowl again. Which was the site of, of course, there. Was that the 2014? 16? 2014 T.
Starting point is 00:35:53 It was the 2014, yeah, because it was the TCU that got jumped by Ohio State and just put an absolute mollywapen. When Ohio State had a third string quarterback. that did happen yeah but they beat the shit out of wisconsin that's the important thing the brief committee said that's fine everybody's uh everybody's really excited about this ls uisconsin thing and i think everybody's forgetting that this happened fairly recently in the regular season they play two neutral site games right there's the i mean there's a culture clash element of it i think the other thing there is this is this and iowa tennessee are the the games closest to the game everyone why are there balloons again because you did
Starting point is 00:36:39 oh god keeps giving me balloons is that what it is it's doing AI on me that's fucked up yeah that's fucked yeah but it only works for you for some reason wow interesting useful I guess it knows about your book I held I have so much power now so I held up two fingers folks because the the two games that people wanted the two teams of people want to play each other were Iowa and LSU who are completely opposite the most opposite teams all offense no defense all defense no offense that's if jaden daniels plays um the closest facsimiles we got this year are probably iowa tennessee and um wisconsin lSU not as as it at as extreme but still in spirit somewhat similar yeah i wasn't really considering the
Starting point is 00:37:25 whole i was speaking more as an alum than as a considering the whole slate when i said i like to match up like i listen man there was a minute there where i thought we were going to the music city and I was going to have to crawl into something. Don't do that. I'm just, listen, just put us in Florida on a mid, do you know how I talk at the beginning of the year about how I'm, I'm not comfortable unless Tennessee is somewhere between like 19 and 23.
Starting point is 00:37:51 And anything else is either way too high. Don't look at us or disrespect. Do you know where Tennessee finished the season? 21, maybe? 21 and headed to a. respectable and respectable only to your bowl in Florida. Like, this is my comfort zone.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Nothing can hurt us in here. This is like sensory deprivation tank, Tennessee. Does that change at all depending on the out? Like, if Iowa just absolutely Stonewalls, Tennessee, does that change anything for you? Or is it just like, yeah, that's what Iowa does? I mean, I'd be mad, but, you know, I've been mad before. You'll be mad again.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And it has absolutely no outcome on what this program does. See, I don't have to be mad because Florida's not going to a bowl game. Oh, I was going to ask about how your feelings on. I just, I just get to just be super chill, totally relaxing. People, a few people, as I was gloating in Georgia's loss, tried to bring this up. Like, where's Florida going to a bowl game? Like, that hurt you? Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Florida went to a bowl game last year and got their asses kicked by Oregon State as the fan base fucking fought each other online over whether they should kick a field goal near the end of the game to keep their stupid scoring in every game streak alive. I don't want to go back to that. I'm not excited to relive that. It's fine to miss a bowl game. I'm not fucking with you. I can't remember. Did they kick that field goal? They did. And the streak lives. And Oregon State beat them like 37 to 3. Most consistent offense in the hall of college football. That's right. That's right. nobody can touch us anymore so yeah my favorite rankings thing do you know the most overrated team in the country uh compared to the like computer composite that would
Starting point is 00:39:43 be it liberty no uh the the uh let's see i think they're actually believe it or not ranked somewhat fairly shit yeah the most overall ranking is not high they just got the highest they just got the g5 spot but yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Wait, I choose not to believe that, there. Okay. Yes, you're right. Yeah, you're allowed to say that. Cool.
Starting point is 00:40:09 NC State is number 18 in the playoff rankings. NC State is number 26 in the composite, ahead of number 10th, Tennessee. That's that, they're coasting off Dave Doran's virility on the mic. The fucking CW champs, I will never besmirch. They're a team of the year for me, but somehow the committee took a, shine to this NC State team that when you drill down into the numbers it's a little dubious which makes it even more amazing that FSU got left out because apparently the committee loves the ACC oh no no no no no no FSU got left out because they dodged NC State if only they had
Starting point is 00:40:50 proven themselves against the wolf pack maybe we would believe in them but instead they played shitty teams like Clemson and Miami and LSU yeah So FSU was scared to go in the CW, and that's what did him in. I think we should also talk about, and I think this is big picture enough that it won't overlap. I did like, there was a brief moment during bowl selection, the latter part of the day in bowl selection. After the playoffs announced, and you're starting to hear about who's going to the non-playoff Bulls, where none of the ACC games had been announced. And I think it was Brett McMurphy that was like, yeah, they haven't even had a conference call yet to have the
Starting point is 00:41:30 discussion. I can confirm from talking with bull personnel that as of like 4.30 on Sunday afternoon, there were bulls that had not heard from the ACC at all. So there was a brief window where my troublesome brain was like, what if they're all banding together and boycotting bull season? What if the ACC is just not going to show up for bull games? I was actually hoping the infighting would go on for so long, and it was infighting that delayed it because nobody wanted to drop down a spot. No, they didn't actually, they didn't actually think that Florida State was going to get screwed like this and they didn't have a backup plan. Nobody wanted to drop down a spot. You can guess who was the loudest and shrillist about this. But what I was really hoping would happen was that this would last for so long that the bowls would just move on to their next conference ties. Oh, sure. Yeah, I mean, like, so this is the year already where there weren't enough six win teams. That's how we got JMU and Jacksonville State. And that's why five and seven Minnesota is playing in a bowl game. So not all. only when they have had to go to their other ties, they would have had to start calling five
Starting point is 00:42:34 win teams. Florida might have made a bowl game in the Florida in the Pop-Tarts bowl. My favorite thing about this is during all this afternoon of ACCC chaos where they're all reacting to the FSU snub. Stuart Mandel did a post on this with like all the all the ACC bowl people. And at one point they all won to Notre Dame. No surprise. So how they decided to resolve this was they all wrote down their names, handed them to an attorney, the attorney put them in a hat, and the attorney pulled one out of the hat. And that is where in the name is Pricewaterhouse Cooper's. And I'm like, this is how college football is meant to work. This is college football. This is stupid. Computers are pretty good. Committees are fucking stupid. This is perfect.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Like, that is the bowl selection show I would watch. Where you just like, we're like, all right, it's hat time, people. Let's let's see what hat the fucking roll. Laya Quest Bowl has brought it. I would like to see it decided not by feats of strength, but by field day activities, like running with an egg and a spoon. Sure. Three-legged race. And the university.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Yeah, yeah, that's good. Like, so both seasons, we have these like stupid little gimmick activities that happen, right? And they've tried to. Yeah, put this at halftime instead of the Dr. Pepper challenge in college to be free. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We'll do this on Sunday. Do the shit on Sunday. Do the Chick-Filly milkshake contest on Sunday, and that's how you get into the Peach Bowl. The best two teams go to the Peach Bowl.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Dabo's Bible bongers. Dabo, I challenge you to a Bible sword drill while we're at it. You're going down, brother. You're going down. I don't care how much you study up. I'm going to take your spot in the Pop Tarts Bowl or whatever. You want to talk about the Big Ten's return to greatness, by the way. Make it milkshake dependent?
Starting point is 00:44:15 Oh, hell yeah. They want quiz chugging. They want Quiz Bowl. Big Ten is definitely, definitely wants quiz bowl. No, they say they want Quiz Bowl. But then in the dark of night, when things become critical, they're like, I gotta go back to the old me It's milk shake band
Starting point is 00:44:30 It's like chess boxing It's like Big Ten Custard trivia Oh my God Jason You have to file the copyright For that right now Can we can we Floyd I know you're on here
Starting point is 00:44:46 Can we get the URL for custom The category is taxonomy And I will be answering questions Of those taxonomy After taking 14 shots of custard We're going to delete the Playoff, all right. How you get into the Rose Bowl is this, the nation's number one
Starting point is 00:45:01 Custard trivia team versus like the nation's number one like environmental, um, uh, Bitcoin scam team. That's your Pactual Champ. Okay. I like the heads up. Finally a path for Florida State. Like, uh, eco-crypto, whatever that means. That's your Pactualt champ.
Starting point is 00:45:22 It's open to interpretation. Yeah. Yeah. And that's your Rose Bowl. That's just, that's beautiful. beautiful. That's as beautiful as the Rose Bowl itself. So then your sugar bowl, we're going to need. So then your sugar bowl, we need like an SEC, an SEC version of this.
Starting point is 00:45:37 LSU. LSU. That's just LSU out here. Oh, I see what you're saying. The SEC version of this, I think, is probably some sort of illegal animal hunting. Okay. Rattlesnake rodeo. Yeah, that would work. So then the Big 12 is a different rodeo.
Starting point is 00:45:57 that's a rodeo but with people that's the most dangerous game people rodeo okay yeah this is so easy this is so easy and then everything else let's hunt brent your mark for sport that's what they do honestly at this point i think i think big 12 would be like if it gets eyeballs we'll do absolutely welcome to our game welcome to our jolly postseason game let's hunt and kill brent your mark let's get running the big 12 who knows the most famous person you con Nellie, The Undertaker, if you're famous, we'll put bathing ape. Anyone. We'll put any logo on the field if people have heard of it.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I look like you've been somewhere, man. Half time at the Big 12th Championship is a no-holds-barred fight between two eight-year-olds fucking crazy. But the numbers, the numbers back and off. That's the Dr. Pepper Toss is. That's the Dr. Pepper Toss taking one step further. I'm just going to tell those people, they're the chain smokers. Are those two eight-year-old? No, they're the chain smokers. We are literally never getting.
Starting point is 00:46:57 any older. Isn't that them? Yeah. I worked at MTV for like almost two years and I still have never heard a song of theirs. I am so proud of me. Yeah, nor could identify them in a lineup. No, I have no idea who they are or how many of them there are. Aren't they the ones who are never getting older? Isn't that the song? I don't know what that is. I don't know either.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Yeah. Sorry. It's nice in here. Sorry, Jason and I are just more in touch with the youth of 2011. Yes, we're in touch with songs. Oh. from 10 years ago by people who are now like pushing 35 probably
Starting point is 00:47:30 Speaking of which Of why Spencer and Jason are more in touch with the youth Spencer can I get a quick podcast business Podcast business Podcast business What's that business? Podcast business
Starting point is 00:47:46 It's a business Let's talk about God He's not real but he's got a book and it's coming up I don't think that's what All right that's fine He's got a book and it's coming out. Can I tell you about the book? God has got a book coming out and it came through Jason.
Starting point is 00:48:02 That's already out. It's called the Holy Bible, Spencer. You and I are going to sit down and read it together. Hey, hey, let's get coffee and I'll read the Bible to you. Man, not at gunpoint. Not like, seriously. I thought if somebody was like, you got to read this at gunpoint, I'd be like, pull that trigger, brother. This has so many words in it.
Starting point is 00:48:21 If I gave you a dollar, if I gave you a dollar, if I gave you a dollar, for every page of the Bible you read in a 24-hour time span. How many how many dollars in my pay? I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. I will pick the pages for you. I'll find you good shit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Unfair. This is cheating. You can't choose your own adventure. The Bible. I'll find you the hottest shit. There's a bunch of verses about deer. Yeah. No. There's so much murders. Murder, monsters, explosions, naked ladies. It's got it all, man.
Starting point is 00:48:52 But I'd be literally doing anything else for zero dollars. that is that is the option i will take that's the opportunity cost of spencer reading that is when you're like if i gave you a dollar for my brother that's not even close for the right price i think that this thing uh spencer's saying um money is the root of all evil therefore yeah this is uh you're yeah that's right yeah he's far too pious to accept your terms yes i am going to be like most christians and i ain't reading that it's a podcast business like 10 minutes a podcast somebody said the word Warhammer and that reminded me
Starting point is 00:49:29 that we've had our Spotify wrapped as a show to go check out and I have some stats here courtesy of Ryan that may surprise you here at home I know that they certainly surprised Ryan and me
Starting point is 00:49:47 when we were pulling them so here we go the top episode of the shutdown fullcast on Spotify in 2023 was every Warhammer
Starting point is 00:50:00 40K faction as a college football team. Yes. Yes. Here's where it gets weird. I feel like this had to be a mistake, but this is what it says on the website. It was streamed 999% more than your average episode.
Starting point is 00:50:19 That's what it says. Are we a Warhammer podcast now? 30% of your listeners. discovered you in 2023. I'm assuming they're all in Warhammer. Our podcast was shared via text message 37% of the time because all of y'all
Starting point is 00:50:37 are dads. We appreciate that. Thank you to the 2% of you on WhatsApp. Shout out Infosec, Twitter. Our podcast grew 25% in followers this year on Spotify, which is very nice. and 2,748 of you had us as their top podcast.
Starting point is 00:51:02 7,568 of you had us in our top five. 9,962 of you had us in their top 10. So we're not making the playoff. Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that. That's fine. I wouldn't trade that. If it meant trading the Warhammer episode, I wouldn't do it. I'm just going to injure several other cast members of other podcasts so that we get it.
Starting point is 00:51:27 That's true. Yeah, and then we could make a true crime podcast out of it. So I like the only thing this is going to do is reinforce Spencer's Warhammer habit. Oh, no. Yeah, that wouldn't have happened anyway, Ryan. Yeah, he was almost out the game, but, oh, man. It's for business. This is a business expense.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah. I'm expensing this $100 toy That I have to put together myself Yeah It's a good pivot for you, I think Thank you, thank you It certainly goes with the beard and lack of social skills This box of skulls
Starting point is 00:52:09 There's 340 skulls in it Box of skulls look at that 300 you haven't seen the box of skulls Box of skulls yeah we got some skulls What do you buy a box? What do you Are the skulls decorative like? Yeah I mean kind of yeah they They serve absolutely no in-game purpose.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It's just like, this toy isn't metal enough. It needs skulls. I want to, I ask this question without judgment. Spencer, how many games of Warhammer have you played this year? Six, I think. Okay. That's higher than I thought. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:38 It's higher than last year. I thought you were only in it for the painting and the skulls. No, I've managed. The boys and I have a way of playing, so we end up doing it. And I have played a game with Jason. So I think we played twice this year. I've moved my position on this since last year, by the way. If you are just in this for the painting and the dolls,
Starting point is 00:52:57 oh, that's fine. Yeah, I think that's fine. That's an art, you know, that's an artistic hobby. Yeah. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I'm just purely out of curiosity. I have a few just last year and I have since, I have since shifted in tone. Yeah. Also, like, playing a game with other people involves, like getting your schedule in order and, like, interacting with other people.
Starting point is 00:53:20 and sometimes Spencer just want to paint the big war machine. Sometimes you just want to, listen, sometimes you just want to spend some time with a friend. And you paint the giant yellow war machine. Makes time for a friend today. But yeah, or you show up at a shop to play a stranger and they turn out to be absolutely terrified. The love of your life.
Starting point is 00:53:42 That's right. You play orcs too? This isn't a game where you, this is a game where you, you like take a deck of cards. This isn't a game where you take a board. This is a game where you need a big box of all your stuff. Yeah. Big box files.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I have a roadie for my Warhammer cake. I have all miners. But how do you carry them? All miners stored in a Zaps, chips carton that's like, you know, the kind that would show up to a retail store. I mean, it's got like Florida Lee and like Catholic stuff on it. So like, my army's the nuns, it fits fine. I have a special German case with removable metal shelves, and I've magnetized the bottom of all of mine so that I can carry them in this giant backpack.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I want you to know one of the one of the most haunting things I've ever heard you say is I have a special German case. Like I don't, full of, oh my God. You didn't make it as far as. I've magnetized the bottom. Didn't move the, didn't move the dial. It didn't help. It didn't help. But I think my brain went into terror mode.
Starting point is 00:54:49 You already over the precipice. Yeah, I was, I was already like, oh, God, it's time to call the police. Spencer, I just like, after you got the rest of it out, though, I've never looked up to you more than right now. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad some of you appreciate passion. I like that to take listeners and readers behind the scene a little bit here, frequently on this show, we assemble to record. And let's say Spencer usually is like, I cannot find my equipment.
Starting point is 00:55:19 the thing we use to make this show for which we are paid money and with for to to holly's point uh that we are trying to get more and more people to listen to not necessarily spencer's monster toys however they go in the secure case where he knows where they are in all time the recording equipment throw in an old pizza box who fucking cares but the monsters they must be protected That's just kind of monster Well, the recording equipment hasn't been scrupulously diligently hand-painted to artistic perfection.
Starting point is 00:55:55 I'd be fine if he did that. Yeah, maybe we should look into that. Yeah. Oh, shit. Can we also point out again that this whole journey started, I think, year before last, with a joke about how Spencer and Jason going,
Starting point is 00:56:10 hey, yeah, we're going to get really into Warhammer this year. Ha-ha. And then they were like, oh, shit, we got really into Warhammer. We worked ourselves. into a shoot here yeah we we did this this uh like either spencer or jason was like ha ha let's get really into warhammer in the off season and then i forget which one of you pulled the trigger first but i think it was me spencer started buying shit first i know that yeah i was the one who started wasting money on it i mean invested in my house
Starting point is 00:56:35 oh yeah jason i remember this now jason was too slow so spencer bought shit for jason when he wasn't succumbing fast enough that's right i was i was like i was like should i go with the nun army or the alien army or uh or the robot army and spender decided for me and it was the right i think the nun army really goes nicely with the book that you wrote it really does i like the i like the lisa frank uh color ways too that you've got going there yes Lisa frank um nuns in space hell is the vibe yes it's a good vibe we each everybody ends up where they're supposed to end up i just can't help the thinking like what are we what are we going to joke ourselves into like what have we already joked ourselves into for next year that we don't know about yet?
Starting point is 00:57:22 Hmm. Let's see. Florida State sympathy. That's my first suggestion. I didn't even make it to the end of the month. I'm good. That's done. Like, yep, got a bad deal.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Once Rick Scott was on board, it's like, oh, yeah. Now that Ron DeSantis has set aside a million dollars in the Florida budget, to sue the NCAA. I am feeling that's how you know. That is a real thing. That is a real thing. It is not real. Because like, go Google this.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Go Google. Ron DeSantis, million dollar budget NCAA lawsuit. For keeping... So, the Division 1 football teams who are kept out of the NCAA playoff, so FAMU,
Starting point is 00:58:10 is that who you're mad on behalf of? Because that, like, the FCS teams in Florida, that is a short list. It's, it's What number sounds big to an idiot? I have a million dollar budget. To Spencer's earlier point, like politicians deciding it's time to scream at a sports league
Starting point is 00:58:33 is the ultimate like, oh my God, things are falling apart. Dad's like, let's go to the batting cages. What about that? Wouldn't that solve our problems today? You're like, yeah, really good.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Especially in this case, it's like you're not only, are you not blazing a new path? You are walking down a wide, well-lit, freshly paved boulevard because we have already with the NCAA not that long ago, been in a situation where Brett fucking Kavanaugh was making cogent and agreeable points about how much the NCAA sucks. You're not doing anything new here. Terrible people who are just as terrible as you have already been down here. with their machetes. You're just out for a stroll. If you are ESPN, the cause football playoff, the NCAA, whoever, like, yes, you live in fear of certain things. Getting sued by the fucking clown show in Florida is not high on that list. Like, there is nothing that if I got sued by Ron DeSantis, I would be like, fuck yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:36 let's do this. I'm good enough lawyer to handle this. I'm ready. I wanted a clown show in Florida. I would go to Florida State's fine circus program. That's right. It's so true. true. It's a wonderful institution. Ron DeSantis, I dare you to sue this podcast. That'd be great for marketing. So awesome. Right? Is that the thing I could speak into existence for 24? Is that we get sued by the state of Florida?
Starting point is 01:00:01 Ryan, can you get me banned from a Florida library? Yeah, probably. Oh, I'll do that. People say like, but Ryan, you don't live in Florida and your kids don't use those libraries. Why should that matter? Since when do they care about that? Not important. Liberty is here.
Starting point is 01:00:17 It's the three of you. I should be able to set up a batting. Yeah, I should be able to set up a batting cage in a public library. I think we can't call it Dance for Liberty. I think we can't call it Dads for Liberty because the rules of these things be like are the name of it can't match the people who are actually behind it. That's true. So in this case, I don't know. Grand Dats for Liberty.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Yeah, there it is. Like we're going to start the most liberal. and honest organization in the world, which is going to be grandads for fascism. That's what it is. Grandads for grumpiness. Yeah. Whatever you're looking at,
Starting point is 01:00:55 just invert every one of the terms. Just reverse all of them. Can I throw in a real quick podcast business here? Yes. We're still in podcast business. My novel, Hell is the World Without You, is available for Quotefingers pre-order. Sometimes big tech decide
Starting point is 01:01:12 pre-orders fake. I have no control over that. So some people have read it and they've said to me like, hey man, it was cool seeing myself in a novel for the first time ever. I gave me all sorts of feelings and stuff when you say that. I know you grew up like me, you grew up evangelical. But I've also seen this other reaction, one of my favorite reactions from former colleague Seth Rosenthal on Blue Sky today, who said, I'm buying this book, just to figure out what the hell Jason's talking about. And that is just as valid as well.
Starting point is 01:01:34 If you did not grow up like me, yeah, come find out what the hell people like me were up to when we were weird in high school. And you were slightly less weird. So, yeah, those, I'm here for those two entirely different, entirely different camps. And I'll pre-order money going into the Trevor Project in February. Is anybody not weird in high school? Crickets, cricket. Okay, that's fine. You would be weird if you were normal.

Starting point is 01:02:45 No, that's a long. 60 is too long. 60 is too long. No, let's do 60 because I want to see what happens when he can't hold Yeah, that's the point in his head for a minute. Also, you're going to be, also you're going to laugh your ass off when I named the first one. Okay, hold on. I'm, I am starting the timer.

Starting point is 01:04:13 Numbers. There's tens of thousands of people in numbers briefly. Literally didn't include the first two characters, the first of human characters in the Bible. So good job. They're not relevant. The first two. God and the spirit. That's two. You left out the first of human characters. You left out a giant snake. I did leave out the giant snake.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Okay. Got all the johns. I left out, I left out Ecclesiastes, right? Yeah, that guy. Yeah. That guy. Greg Ecclesiastes. Left out Noah, which I took great personal offense to. Well, no, that's a claim on you. You got to.
Starting point is 01:04:48 It's not a claim. I should have said, I should have. That's such a wonderful film. My proper answer should have been. Noah's in the Bible. That really should have been. I am so excited for, I'm so excited for Jason to spring upon you at the live show we're doing that we're going to do Bible trivia, you versus random member of the crowd. And if they get it right and you get it wrong, you have to hand them a $5 bill.
Starting point is 01:05:08 I should just hand it to it. I learned all of the Bible you needed to learn to be good at quiz bowl basically. Custard bowl. It's custard bowl now. Get on board. Custard quiz boxing. And let me in this quiz bowl
Starting point is 01:05:25 if this is. What, wait, how much Bible comes up in quiz bowl? Anything that's a literary reference. Or anything that's a legal reference. So basically if it was tied to something in something else and as an illusion or a reference, right? Shakespeare referenced it.
Starting point is 01:05:41 God, you had that information right to hand, didn't you? Yeah, 100%. So, like, you know about, like, King Solomon? Yes. But just because it's... No, yeah, I couldn't tell you the story, but I'm like, oh, yeah, judgment, King Solomon, yeah, wise, sure, there. He's so full of shit.
Starting point is 01:05:59 So I know, I know the most... Be clear, not Spencer. Also Spencer. Spencer's got this. Yeah. Spencer would never cut a baby in half. I would no I would never cut a baby in half what direction do you think the plan was to go vertical or horizontal it's gotta be vertical right that's the only way to be fair I don't know like that that feels right but that's also more difficult like I think it'd be hard to spatch cock a baby he was I think according to walk hard it's it's horizontal okay I don't know maybe it's diagonal like sandwich he was fucking winging it he's full that's true yeah they were all wing in it come on man you know oh yeah God told me to do this Sure.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Do you think King Solomon was like, oh, wait, you're putting this in? Oh, God. I don't know if I would have said all that if I knew it was going in the final cut. Can we add it? Hey, guys, I kind of look like a dick in this. Yeah. Well, yeah. So, like, this is getting ahead on a VBS episode, but all the Solomon is wise stuff,
Starting point is 01:06:58 it's so fucking sarcastic. I'm talking about the Bible itself is sarcastic about Solomon's wisdom. I'm not, again, I'm not joking. You would love the Bible, Spencer. It wasn't it, wasn't it, wasn't it, David, who's, saw Bathsheba and was like, I'm going to ruin that man's life so that I can take his like lady. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:15 And then like he. The product of that was Solomon. That's how you know David. It was a true dog. Like that's how you knew he had chest full of dogs because he got to the final draft of the Bible. And they were like, David, you got this thing in here about like how you were so horny. You ruined another guy's life because you were king and abused your power. So you could have her.
Starting point is 01:07:34 And he's like, leave it in. They got. I mean, the Bible has a lot of. or steal your girl. I'm not at all joking. Let the boy watch. I'm completely not joking. The David propaganda in the Bible is completely sarcastic. Completely sarcastic.
Starting point is 01:07:49 It is not sincere praise. Is that why he has a little penis in the statute? Probably. Probably. They were like, hmm, it's so majestic and refined and gentlemanly, right? Well, you know, actually, by scale, if you're up next to it, it's still pretty huge. Get his job, John It's an average And David said
