Welcome! To the shutdown forecast, I'm Ryan Nanny. That's Jason Kirk cackling. John Boyce is sitting next to me. And he is here because he is the nation's foremost expert on frisco. It's me. The Frisco bowl. What is Friscoe?

Well, in the, I believe it was the mid-90s. Wrong. It's fried Criscoe. Hardies actually marketed the Frisco burger. I mean, Hardys will say you some fried Criscoe. Don't put it past. Sorry, what was the Frisco Burger joke? I don't remember. I finished my thought.

So did you know this game has a sponsor? I didn't know that until opening the website about 30 seconds ago with DXL. DXL, which I don't know what that is because I was briefly like, oh, that's the shipping company that when you buy something on eBay that you don't want to get to you for like a month. It's sent, but that's D.HL. I don't know what DXL is. I think it's when DGeneration X got large. and sold husky pants for that they sold they sold cool like um suck my dick gear right larger wrestling fan the root the ruby crotch shop dX seems like one of those like all

encompassing like a p90x kind of thing only it's got a really specific like very suspect quark like celery was celery was invented by aliens you can't eat it it's bullshit right right so dmx's this is DMX's workout series DXL. Yes, yes. Perfect. This bowl game is being held in a super tiny stadium, Toyota Stadium, which I think normally

is host to an MLS team. It's also the annual home of the FCS title game. Right, right. And God, what a fucking shitty stunt by FBS to be like, oh hey, your championship site? Yeah, that's for our newest

worst bowl. Congratulations. Your birthday dinner? Yeah, that's where I take my wife to sign the divorce papers. That's how important you are to me. This stadium is, there are only five FBS stadiums that are smaller than this one. It holds like 20,000 people. I guess the step down from this is like playing inside, like the IMAX inside of a museum. Right.

You have to pay three bucks to go to even though you've paid to get in the museum anyway. Right. But you want to know about hurricanes. Right. Or like, yeah, you're playing in the flight simulator. at the World War II Museum. We can make that game happen, almost certainly. Jason, who's playing in this game?

I haven't looked. It's Lattec SMU. And on that note, John, I know you're a Metroplex expert, so I had a question for you. The Dallas-Fort Worth area, every town in that area has this fiercely protected identity. Like, you know, Dallas sucks. This is a Fort Worth household.

But every other little town around there, hate being called like Dallas or Fort Worth or part of the Dallas Fort Worth area. Frisco, but half an hour north, John, what can you tell us about Frisco, their identity? It's the Waco where not as much bad happened, right? Well, that leaves a lot. A lot of bad things have happened in Waco. Yeah. Like all of the time.

You just gave Waco a completely fresh start. Because here you're thinking like, oh yeah, I know the bad. thing that happened in waco and like no you're missing two at least waco is full of like waco just attracts bad things it's not their fault so is it waco without a river also i guess well according according to wikipedia since 2003 the national arbor day foundation has designated frisco tree city USA that's a forest it's not no no a tree city is a fucking forest we have that their video game level. You can't fool me. Tree City. You gotta go to Tree City

and save the squirrels. Meanwhile the Endor Moon is like oh, come, we were Tree City. God damn it. So who's coaching SMU in this game? It's Sunny Dykes who was on TCU's coaching staff like a week ago.

That's right. I forgot about that. And so we've got him going up against still Skip Holtz. also it's sunny dykes against his former team like he he he saw them on the schedule and said oh let me get a crack at these motherfuckers and it's like you're the you're the one who left them for a job you hated so yeah i don't care let me add them we've talked about we've talked about skip holz's profile a little bit his Wikipedia profile it includes a sentence in early life that i think is dripping in sadness i'm going to read it to you verbatim do it skip holz grew up in many towns while his father coached footbooked because if you read this a certain way you don't necessarily have to connect the two you can you can view skip holds as some sort of like wandering hobo child who was growing up town to town because his father didn't have time like he wasn't with his dad necessarily he was just sort of riding he was a box car child as at the hospital when he was born um the nurse asked his dad uh what are we calling this child and he's like Skip. Next question. Yeah.

And his brother, draw four. His sister. Next.
