That's exactly it, right? A normal Wisconsin football game, eight minutes. Think of, think of, think of these as like the, think of the 40 for 40 as like the White Castle Crave case. Like, you could, yeah, each one of these is small, taken in total, horrifying. Now imagine that the regular shutdown forecast episode is if White Castle made like a pound and a half hamburger. It's fucking disgusting, isn't it? yeah usually we're the dairy to eat it if you do you get your name on the wall hamburger and now we're the taco bell ten dollar box the orange bowl or orange bowl first ball it's in
Starting point is 00:02:07 miami it's my favorite thing to watch because inevitably someone goes we're hanging out in miami it's going to be tropical fun and that's how you end up staying at a holiday end up in broward god i'm so and and you don't even get to go to the orange bowl i miss it so much my favorite part about this game is looking on the website they had a travel guide for fans which was not that helpful but it did have an advertisement for an app for Miami International Airport
Starting point is 00:02:35 and in this app it focuses primarily on how you can breeze through customs number one Miami is you are like really Miami you want the rep of like customs they're looser than ever and also and Miami no less
Starting point is 00:02:50 who are the Wisconsin fans coming in for this game. Canada. Wisconsin is in Canada, Fran. Yeah. Fuck. Larry Alvarez, noted importer exporter, the brother of Barry Alvarez.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Who looks just like Barry Alvarez, except... And is the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers. Yeah. I'm too tied up this time around. I've appointed my younger brother. A younger, better-looking brother. Now, this is...
Starting point is 00:03:24 is, yeah, dog agrees. Hey, dog. Thanks, dog. Yeah, see, that's right. Dog, I don't know. This dog is very old and never barks, so I'm glad, I'm glad you got her stirred up. This dog, this dog is already smelling the drugs pouring into the Miami airport. That's what it's, like, that dog's basically like, like, like, Barry Alvarez was the man who made Wisconsin great.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You guys get it. Barry has earned his position and authority. That's right. Now, with Wisconsin, by the way, this is one of my favorite bowl game set up because it involves Wisconsin fans traveling to Miami. Current temperature in Wisconsin is like two. Yeah. G. It's not even a number anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Not available. It's just a letter, right? But they get to go down to Miami in the middle of the winter. Now you say, oh, this happens all the time. Yeah, yeah. And it's spectacular every time. don't try to like pawn this off this is going to be amazing because if you've never been to an orange bowl what you get to see is you get to see a lot of people in the middle of the winter letting off steam baby ended up in bad situations ended up in bad places where they don't know what they're paying for maybe having a little too much to drink maybe having a lot too much it's wisconsin that the limit does not exist it's i feel like wisconsin and miami fans may actually have some similar values, if not exactly the same way of expressing those values, at least in terms of living to excess.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I feel like they might get along better than we think here. Oh, I think they're going to get along fabulous. Like a lot of people are framing this as, oh, they're from the cold. This is going to be like when Notre Dame came down to play Alabama. No, it's not. No, Wisconsin fans are demigods of food and drink walking on Earth. So you're saying Barry Alvarez is the pit bull of Wisconsin. Ooh, that's not
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's not incorrect. And it kind of works. At least in Silhouette, yeah. Because he's got a lot of jobs. Like visual, like visualize it. And you can kind of see like, oh, yeah. Same hairstyle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:35 You can't spell A.D. Barry Alvarez without Dale. Wow. Can't you can, right? No, you can't. No, that's right. Yeah, you got it. That's correct. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah, this is, by the way, a game that if you wanted a game where you're like, wow, I really want to watch a game. It's going to be 1714. This is your opportunity to watch a game that's going to be 1714. Because that's kind of how both teams play. It's just, it's going to be low scoring. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be a lot of sunburn dudes on one team.
Starting point is 00:06:07 You also get to see Wisconsin breaking out their famous turnover boots. Their turnover mittens. The turnover muff. The turnover keg. You know what it'll be? The turnover smokes. Here you go. Here's the cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:06:24 What's a unit of measurement of brandy, a jeroboam? A jerobomb, yeah. The turnover brandy, it's just a gigantic St. Bernardard with the brandy barrel. Oh, hey, good job, Logan, pulling in that I-N-T. Brett better grow your turnover beard. Wisconsin is our greatest state. You get Diane to get Diane over there to take care of. it for you. All women in
Starting point is 00:06:50 Wisconsin are named Diane for some reason for me. And they're strong. Take care of that, Diane. They're strong as hell, emotionally and physically. Yeah, fearsome.
