It was just the thumb I left on the counter. There's a quote I always think of in these times

from a small child in a Lucy Maude Montgomery movie asking why it's not okay to speak ill of the dead. And while this old church lady is fumbled answer, he goes, it's pretty safe, ain't it? Imagine zombie Spencer. I don't think it'd be much different. I know. I mean

It would take him It would take him very long to get places He would never get there on time Can you imagine? Yeah Honestly, the one thing that he could lose That he has not yet lost To his own detriment would be limbs

Imagine if he were able to like Leave his leg behind to airport security He left an arm in the cab The Las Vegas Bowl has no sponsor this year I don't think, which is kind of a bummer. It's not sponsored by Lube. I hate that. It's not sponsored by Royal Purple, which is my favorite sponsor. Which is, as their sponsors told me repeatedly, over the phone, it's Lube for cars, not people.

It's Lube for cars. So, again, if you have AutoNation, if you have Auto Nation, you're going to need a lot of Royal Purple. Can you guys hear the helicopter? No. Wow. I don't even need to provide the ambiance this time around. Holly's got it covered. The Las Vegas Bull slogan.

is, and I'm quoting, we've been there for you during the good times. Thanks for being with us now. Is the Las Vegas Bowl dying? What? Is that what the Curbel is for? Why is that the slogan? We just got done with the Curable and it says it in like, I don't know if it's supposed to be, it occurs to me that it might be some kind of like oblique reference to the shootings and saying like, thanks for bringing your business back to Las Vegas. Oh, that's, that's unsavory. Yeah, but in any event It doesn't actually reference this So it makes it sound like the Las Vegas Bowl Is like hospice care? I don't know, man I don't I feel weird

Well, we've got Mountain West Champion Boise State We've been there for We wait, we've been there for you During the good times Thank you for being there for us now Yeah We also got Oregon Or than, without Willie Taggart, did I hear that the interim head coach is going to be Mario Cristobal, who never should have been fired?

That is correct. Florida International Coach in Memorial. Willie, of course, who does not like attending bowl games, he just likes sending teams off toward bowl games. Well, he's like a travel. He's a travel agent. Can you blame you? Yeah. Like, you go to a travel agent, you're like, oh, I want to go to the Greek island.

or whatever. They're not fucking coming with you. Yeah, they're planning the trip. Yeah, they're customizing it, making it just right for you and your budget one you're looking to get out of, but they're not like, okay, I'll see it at the airport, buddy. No, that's not how it works. Yeah, the travel agent, their job isn't to be your best friend. Willie, Willie, he just says, you want to spend a weekend in Vegas? All right, let's go seven and five. Let's do this. I'll be right not here when you get back. Willie also knows that the saddest place in the world is the Las Vegas airport right around Christmas and was maybe just hoping to avoid confronting some, you know, some inner truths.

Yeah, that feels like where you're likely to see either people who have a very strained family relationship, maybe some people they don't talk to or aren't talking to them, or their family all lives in Las Vegas, which is probably worse somehow. I've covered this game once before, and all I remember was being locked in this stadium, seeing Dennis Erickson cry, and then I was pretty sure I witnessed the dissolution of, like, five marriages waiting for my flight home. That's fun. Hey, Holly, I assume you're on the Las Vegas Bowl website right now, right?

Never left, buddy. Can you just go over to Fan Zone and then go over to Bowl Week events and go ahead and click that beautiful button for me? Yeah, yeah, sure. Here comes under helicopter. And I just want you to just scroll a little bit until you get to a little something called Downtown Summerland Ladies Day. oh oh huh

the yeah I'm there okay um so so there's this is an event for are these ladies getting fucked all right so so this is what this is what this event is

it's for the ladies from the participating teams which vague is incredibly vague and it says that they will enjoy a day out downtown summer and do the following walk around town shop enjoy a delicious lunch and participate in various activities oh i read that as okay i was baby wishfully reading that as steak and spa and not steak and see wait you think you think hold on i want to back up you thought that a steakhouse that was also a spa was a good idea no that's why i was expressing concern okay good because

that's that's got a lot of weird order questions but i thought it i thought it maybe ended with like some some handsome gentlemen uh in massage rooms for the ladies of the team and i thought that might be nice and relaxing if you do that you have to do that before this like you can't eat steak nobody steal this this is my business steak and spa is my business model nobody steal it i'm just saying you have to tell the customers, listen, you want the spa experience before you. Don't eat the steak and then go to the spa part. It's going to be weird and your stomach's not going to appreciate it. No, man. You're like, you're a little distended and relaxed and full of protein and you take like a mama bear nap. You can't, you can't eat a, you can't eat a steak

and some, and some smashed potatoes and then go get fucked by a stranger in a bathhouse. Can you not? You shouldn't. All right. You can. Anything is possible in Las Vegas. the Las Vegas Bowl. Hey, I have a question. Yeah, you should see what they got planned for Kids Day. I have a question for Holly. Did you know that Jeremy Pruitt is probably your

head coach now? Oh, God. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh, God. I thought I thought this might happen on the air. No, he's not. No, he's not. If I have learned nothing from this coaching search is that none of these coaches are my coach. Believe nothing. Well, okay. Well, I mean, either you don't ever have a coach

or he might find. That's fine. How could that be worse? offering you i know i know what i was really happy that since tennessee was out of bowl contention this year that the best part of this doing this series would be going through it without having to talk about my despicable football team i feel the same way about florida wait isn't jeremy perruth the one that didn't know what asparagus was yeah like not like had like not had never eaten asparagus but did not understand the word asparagus right okay okay Yeah, you know what? Phil Homer's doing the hiring, so all of a sudden this makes a lot more sense.

God, I can really use a trip to the steak and spa right now. Oh, man.
