And this is the game where if you win it, no one cares. Yeah. Like, if you blow out UCF people say, oh, you beat a mid-major? That was your bowl? What were you in, like, the Music City or something? Right. And if you lose it, well. If you lose it, they write oral histories of it 10 years from now.

So have a lot of fun with that, Auburn. literally nothing to gain you might move all the way up to sixth also for the Auburn fan really like at this point if Atlanta had a frequent flyer program for just being in Atlanta which we really should frankly think of the benefits of that because Auburn fans got to come here for the SEC championship game and then they get to repeat that trip just a month later by coming to the Peach Bowl and anything here anything here to open next year probably that sounds right plus plus the good the good news is that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose this game now you know you're not going to the playoff so it's like the cc championship game without any stress and also they are guaranteed to not be here for the title game so everything works everything's good i i get spencer are you suggesting like you remember back in i want to say the early 2000s late 90s where like all these weird little air like hooters had its own airline for a little bit.

Are you suggesting like Auburn Air should be a thing and it just flies from Auburn to Atlanta and back and that's it? No, because Auburn doesn't make it to Atlanta that often, let's be honest. Well, yeah. I did think of like there are certain charter services I think would be useful. For instance, I think just do for the distance, right? You need a definite wazoo air because they have special demands, right? We need drains in the floor. right so you just hose the whole aircraft

yeah just use a cargo plane don't don't worry about a commercial airliner just pallets just with just a trough running down the middle yep yep just need booze trough and everyone a camel back of uh you know something brown and then just carry pallets of cheap beer up

and down the aisles right that's it wazo air in case of depressurization a mask will come down from the ceiling although the bag may not inflate fireball is flowing directly through the plane during its like nine hour flight all the way to somewhere remote like Seattle yeah it'll be a nine hour flight they'll just go north up to the arctic circle and come

back down it's a great circle route from pullman to Seattle plane just driving in circles I do like that you know first put your own fireball mask on okay and then help others right because you're not going to function if you don't get that. In the event of a depressurization event, who fucking cares? It's Wazoo. Limited oxygen has been flowing to your brain via alcohol for years. At 25,000 feet, the Wazoo fans should feel perfectly normal. You're bored for this.

Yeah, they should just be like, yo, I live through Paul Wolf. This is nothing. Of course, one of the other things that Wazoo fans famously drank dry was. Auburn. Auburn we're back we're back also this is UCF fans getting to go to a major bowl like peach bowl's very well run it's a big deal got a lot of nice stuff you can sort of you know dawdle and waste your time gloriously on it's in a fairly large city here in Atlanta you know there's a few things you might have to explain to UCF fans a couple things about this because it was last

big bowl it was for it was Baylor and was it not the alma bowl it was the fiesta that was a fiesta bowl those are BCS pull yeah yeah yeah so this this has happened before still not the most practiced fans when it comes to go into major bowl games right yeah unless you hear them tell it you hear them tell it they're basically Bama now

no that's I mean I agree being one the largest university in the state of Florida don't ever forget that as if that's a good thing yeah they like so you have a lot of Floridians that's a good thing yeah we've got more Florida than any

University. That's another magnificent thing. They're like, yeah, we got a med school in Florida. Yeah. Blake Bortle's College of Medicine. This is our school of, let's see, phrenology. This is the school of

What Aboutism? This is the school of... Here's the Leach Farm. Yeah, this is the school of handguns. Don't ask. It's just handguns. Handgun medicine and handgun based medicine. If you just, if it hurts, you just shoot it off. Handgun-based therapies, right?

We've decided to solve PTSD by letting you shoot off as many light rounds as you want. There's something to that, though. There it is. I'll give them that. What are you shooting them into, spaceship earth? At night, when it's closed. You wonder why that thing's shiny and metal?

Because it's bulletproof. Yeah, where did they bounce off to? Oh, some trick-ass place in the animal kingdom. don't worry about it come on the glorious fireworks display every night when Disney closes not exactly fireworks yeah

the Peach Bowl itself too I don't know this is this could be like this is at least interesting you know like when you look back on what bowls should be I just want an interesting game and frankly Auburn UCF doesn't happen that often right but especially between a really good UCF team that's undefeated at

this point trying to close out season highly motivated scott frost last game to head coach uh versus a auburn which is just sort of one big old question mark capable of blowing a 17 point lead at ls u or beating Alabama outright at home or then turning around and losing badly to georgia i don't know after beating georgia comfortably yeah after beating georgia comfortably what i'm saying is you got a big old enigma with a lot of potential for disaster and success on one side and you got an upstart who's been absolutely flawless so far this this reader this is quality also it's at 1230 you can get it over with it'll be over with pretty early Auburn really did have the it's a wonderful life season where it's like here's you happy with

family surrounded by the people you love here's you here's you miserable destitute ruined your town is bullshit I disagree Potter'sville is awesome it looks so much more fun than Bedford Falls. People in Bedford Falls are bobbing for apples and doing things that made me want to hang myself, right? Like, let's sit and read appreciatively in front of the window so everyone can see under a lamp. And Pottersville's

like, woo, booze and gambling. Potter'sville's Baton Rouge. Potter's completely, like you're like, bright lights, big city, rough dudes, loose women, Pottersville. I'm like, Pottersville sounds so much more entertaining and fun.

Potterville bringing in the number one recruiting class. Pottersville's totally bringing in the number one recruiting class. Do you know what Pottersville did to get the Amazon headquarters? Nothing. They don't even know what Amazon is.
