we're waiting on spencer to stop chewing his carrot now no now you're waiting on me to switch rooms real quick but that's just me literally picking up the computer hold on welcome to the belk bowl preview we are spencer has finished eating his carrot and now he is moving his computer to another room do you think he has a room where he only eats vegetables the vegetable room this is the vegetable this welcome to the vegetable dungeon welcome to my carrot but the caret the Cabana. Is this a repurpose Pizza Hut? No.

No. I know it's shaped like that, but I had it built that way. The roof makes it so water falls on my carrots.

Ignore the buffet. That was here as well. Custom built. All the kale I bought for decorative purposes. But actually what I did do was install a carrot buffet.

Where you can have carrot raisin salad. Oh, why do people eat that? Hey, hey, carrot dip shit. Are you ready yet? I heard that. All right. What are we starting with?

Well, we are about two minutes into the bulk bowl preview. Yeah, we're in the bulk preview. We started without you. Okay, that's fine. I mean, granted, we haven't talked about. We just talked about carrots all the time. Yeah. I mean, like a lot of teams in bowl season, I'm rolling in two minutes too late, right?

Charging in, down a couple of scores. Started in the wrong location. Also, you're eating carrots after what I'm guessing was an unhealthy holiday weekend, so you're making changes too late as well. Oh, listen, the things that have happened to my digestive system voluntarily are appalling, right? That's voluntarily, right? the things you do to it not what happens to it right some people say oh i had a rough holiday what was it oh you know i caught some kind of bug if they don't tell you what it was right off the

beginning it's diarrhea that's what that means some sort of stomach flu right or there's also hangover that's true you could yeah you could have the flu i'm not feeling so great y'all the flu that's just that's just the catch-all the flu strongly with you about eight things i did to myself I got the flu. Correct, correct. It's the kind of thing where you go. I have consumed so many carbohydrates that I entered pre-diabetes somewhere around 4 p.m. on the first day of the holiday.

You have cigarette burns on your neck? Yeah, it's part of the flu. It's, have you not been keeping up with this year's strain? It's normal. I really hope on his deathbed. Michael Jordan's like, flu. Forget deathbed. I hope he does that tomorrow.

I hope somebody asks him about it. And he's like, you all bought it? Charles Barclay and I got the flu together. It was great. Wow. I think Spencer just killed Michael Jordan. Anyway, we are in Charlotte, North Carolina, Michael Jordan's home state for Texas A&M versus Wake Forest. Yeah.

The most anticipated matchup of all. Did you see that our ANM blog actually has somebody going to this game and is getting there via train? Yeah, some classic shit. Why? Why? Just to be aggy about it? It's the Aggie tradition. You have to travel everywhere by train, even if you're going to cross town and college station. It's because there's a station in the town's name.

I'm a soldier taking trains to games. Trains to games is what we do at A&MM. Murder for strangers in the dining car. Who's going to figure it out? Her cue point roll. Yeah. I don't think that. That's the lyric, actually.

You can't prove that it's not. No, no, I really can't. Who knows? The myths of Texas A&M are so deep and their secret so vast that how could I ever say, with any certainty, that something was not a lyric to one of their songs? After all, the real ones have things like Hullabaloo Kineck connect. If you told me Agatha Christie was like the name of the starting quarterback for A&M and like, I don't know, 1950.

I'd be like, yeah, that sounds right. What's her first name? Ag! Ag! I'm saying. She was probably there. She was in College Station. You know why she had to leave College Station? Solved all the murders. Get out of here!

We don't want y'all! Cops gotta do something around here. It was Revely the whole time. Revely learned how to shoot Zirafel with pinpoint accuracy. No, we'll never prosecute. No, I mean, they think they already knew that Revely could shoot

a rifle that that that I think you'd you'd get run out of town if you walked in and said miss rev doesn't know how to shoot a rifle oh get that some bitch you get him we're going somebody somebody get a sword need to show just slap them with it don't even use that don't even use it on him and that's how agatha christie died slapped to death with swords one fun fact about agaic the christie i am not making up one of england's first surf enthusiasts, like one of the first surfers. That's the most British shit I've ever heard.

Yeah, no, like there's pictures of Agatha Agatha Christie like hanging loose on a long board. Like, no lie. She could stand up. This Belkville preview sucks. Already. Yeah, and beautiful Charlotte. I don't, you know, Charlotte's one of those places. I can't say anything about.

When you're like, I can't say enough about Charlotte. That's literally true. I can't say anything about Charlotte. It's got a belk. It's got, hang on, it's probably got multiple belks. You're telling me the belk bowl is played in a place where there's one belk? I don't, what's the over under, two? I'm going to say there's in, all right, I don't know if we're going to get into some flammery with like, oh, this is some.

Who's looking it up? Spencer, look this up. Mind out how many belk. Spencer, look it up and give us an over-under. I'm taking the under. Are in Charlotte. I'm going to say, let's set the over-under at two and a half. Okay.

Hold on. So you're going to set the line and? Well, I'm definitely taking the under. Is this Charlotte proper or Charlotte Metro? That's what I, I don't know that the Belk website. God. Can, Belk Bowl, I know you're listening to us as we record this podcast. Just can you tell us?

Can you just DM Jason right now? No, that was Vince's job. All right, I'm going to hold you to the, I'm going to hold you to the metropolitan area. Okay, okay, and, and. Belk locations. Yeah. Okay. In Charlotte.

So it's Metro? Yeah, yeah, I mean, the area. All right, what do you want, what do you want to, what do you want to be then? Okay. You said two and a half. Well, you can, you can move it. I'm going to move it for you. Okay.

Okay. Because, I, actually, I'm not even going to. going to set an over or under for you. Okay. I will. Okay. I'll go two. Two.

I'm not going to do two and a half. Two. Okay. I will also state, as of 2014, per Wikipedia, the chain claimed 18 flagship locations. That's an important piece of information. But two,

I know two of these are in Alabama. I did my research. Yeah. And actually, I believe that number is 16. They closed two in the calendar year, 2017. So the total number is 16 in the entire.

in the entire Belk expanded The Belkeverse The Marvel universe The Belkeverse The Canon Legends edition Under Back to the Under

I'll take the over then You'll take the over Yeah Okay The answer Is One No

I know I know my belt God The Sandman wins again Buddy, when it comes to modern, southern classics, what do they call them? Of course the Sandman would win when it comes to a place that sells mostly things you can where to go golfing or to go to lunch. Yeah, man, you let me play a part in setting the line for myself.

It's over. The same man, he's unbeatable, except when he protects Auburn to win the SEC champion circuit. Well, I went three of Auburn games down the stretch, so. I mean, come on. Who could have seen Georgia being consistent? I can't. We're not, we're not, we don't have to talk about that. We're here to talk about the more consistent team in this game, Wake Forest.

Steady leadership. Upward trajectory. By the way, y'all are going to burn me on this because there's the Belk, Charlotte, North Carolina, South Park. I'm not talking about Pineville. That's like 10 out. Also, is that a proper belt? That's like a little belk, it's a belklet. That's not a proper belk flagship.

It's not worthy of the bowl. You give it water. you give it water and sun yeah fuck that belk and a little bit of fertilizer please do not bring fertilizer into a belk you will be arrested yeah also please don't have fertilizer around aggies because they will they will critique your choices this barely got any nitrates in it

hold on let me shit in that bag
