Welcome! I felt so good, y'all. You haven't earned that. What a horrifying ghostly shriek that was. What? Fine. You always, you're Disney, you always are like a Disney ghost. It's confusing.

Well, no, I'm sorry. What kind of ghost do you want? You're Marley and Marley. Whoa! No, no, please, inform me. Do we want, do you want some sort of spectral? I want British ghost? That would be fine, or you could vomit flies.

This is a podcast. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, you think vomiting flies is a noiseless thing? I'm trying to, is that. If you went into a gas station and like the inside of a gas station that started vomiting flies, somebody wouldn't be like, oh, I didn't see, I didn't hear him. So I didn't, oh, he did that. What did you say? Speak up, sir.

here's how we're going to do this we've got to fully this all right so Spencer you need to make a vomit noise right um and then Ryan and I will make fly noises okay ready one two three go there

that's the noise that's how I did it speaking of vomiting flies this this is a bowl game in Detroit and if any city if any city like if you could walk down the street of any city vomiting flies and no one would

bat an eye. It'd be Detroit. They'd be like, yo man there goes crazy stew again, vomiting flies. It's nutty. It's not even just in Detroit. It has the indignity of the Quick Lane Bowl does not get its own website. It is

a subsection of the Detroit Lions website. You have to go to Detroit Lyons.com slash Quicklane Bowl to get in on this. Like, guys, What if the Cleveland Browns owned a bowl? Can we do that?

Yeah, you know who'd go there. Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee annual invitation. They'd have like that BYU thing where it's like once you hit six and three, you're just like, yeah, well, we'll accept that. You didn't say which one had to be six. You didn't say. We got to sit. We got to us six.

That counts. There's a six on the record. There's six somewhere. It's disgusting. My favorite thing about it. the Quick Lane Bowl website, though, is if you're all, if you're on right there, go ahead and go over to find the Quicklane Bowl merchandise portion of the website. And you're thinking, hey, what's on here? First of all, this is a website constructed in 2000 because it requires you to fill out all of your information and then use drop-down menus and look at tiny JPEGs of the bowl items in question.

What's for sale? Well, there's your general Quick Lane Bowl material. You can buy a half-zip top for $50, a winter hat, a trucker hat. Those are 15. They don't have the teams. It's just, I'm a fan of this thing. Can you buy anything for, I don't know, the teams who are in the Quick Lane Bowl, which maybe we'll tell you, maybe we won't.

No, you can buy 2016 Quick Lane Bowl merchandise. Is it still kind of expensive? Yes, yes it is. You can buy 2015 Quick Lane Bowl merchandise. in case you so want to relive that Minnesota Central Michigan matchup. You can even buy a long-sleeved Rutgers UNC 2014 quick lane bowl shirt still available. How much is that? $14.

It comes in small, medium, and extra large. I thought you said these things were expensive. That means Detroit bringing value already. That's a great deal. I'm sorry. You're right. Hey, and I use in this game,

they beat Nebraska. That means they're really good, right? Yep, yep, yep, that's all that means. In some timelines, that's probably true.
