Tartchery. House Faye. So joining us today, we have a very special guest. John Boyce is here. How you doing, John?

Hey, guys. How's it going? No, please continue. You can do the whole thing, John. I can interview myself. Yeah. Okay, great. John, so tell us about the Boker Tone Bowl.

I don't know why I'm on this podcast Cool You need it to we for what it's worth I only have one thing I want to All right so the Boca Raton Bowl Features FAU and Akro this year So we've got Lane Kiffman staying home And we've got Terry Bowden

Getting a little sun on his old Leathery self That was an uncomfortable image I'm sorry John Have you ever run a bowl game before Not recently. How many people do you think it takes to be on the executive committee of a bowl game? Okay.

The executive. Are those the fellas that wear the black and white stripes? Is that then? The hand burglar. Okay. The hamburger is in charge of all bowl games. You know this. So six, right?

Six. Okay. The answer is 40. There are 40 people on the Boca Raton Bowl committee. It includes the FAU athletic director, which feels like, like a conflict of interest. Wow. This thing goes way to the, all the way to the top.

It includes the mayor of Boca Raton, a Palm Beach County school superintendent, the director of the airport, the Palm Beach County Airport, Howard Snellenberger, and two car dealers. There are 40 fucking people for this very run-of-the-mill, not that interesting, not that complicated bowl. This is a really bad Super Friends reboot is what it is.

It is. It feels like we're, We're being lied to that FAU just magically gets this bowl and they have all these connections to it. Why don't we talk about the true corruption in College of Athletics, the Boca Ratonel, selection process? There's definitely a grift going on here because I'm looking at the website and whoever's designing this isn't working very hard because, first of all, it's talking about the alumni of this bowl game, which I think is insane. It's just like, it's like how many athletes have been inside this CVS pharmacy. Right. It's a weird, it's a weird term to use to be like, where did you go to school?

Boca Raton Bowl. What did you graduate in? Boca Raton Bowl. Right. And the worst thing of all is they've got this long, exhaustive list. And most of them is, you know, like, oh, this guy was a UFA that was signed by the Niners. And he was cut immediately, which is fine. But the highlighted player that they put on the front page is Nate Harrison of the Indianapolis Colts.

He's played like one season. He started two games. You have to scroll all the way down to find Kareem Hunt, who is like the best rusher in football this year. Right. Damn. That's... I don't know if he is an esteemed alumni, though. Has he been donating enough to the Boca Fund?

He donated two rushing touchdowns in 2015 is what he donated. Is the Boca Raton Bowl library named after him because of his generous donations? The law school is. Yeah, the Cream Hunt College of Boca Raton Law. Yeah, that's not going to cut it. Harrison is out here he the whole the whole campus green is named after Nate Harrison the only law I know about Boca Raton is that they don't have billboards or Walmart like that's that's the the the line that they're drawing in the sand

literally the game is played on the beach I don't I don't think there's a beach but the game is played on it but FAU is also the stadium that was briefly named after a prison corporate a private prison corporation right yes yes that's true so billboards no private prison sponsorship yes yes america it's the greatest nation in the world we will punch you in the throat if you say it's not we'll punch you totally totally nothing nothing unusual or weird here what if they named this bowl after the private prison slash cherubundi tart cherry and you know still kept the alumni thing going so it'd be like you know alumni of what was the prison company it was like geo prison or something right right right

So there's like, Geoprison alumni, Nate Hairston. Nate Hairston, who during his time studying at Geo Prison, return the kickoff for a touchdown. Teo prison sounds like where you go, like where Carmen San Diego villains go. Yeah, it's where Judge Dredd sends you. To Geo Prison. Take that, Ron Schneider. To Geo Prison. Line Judge Dredd.

God damn it.
