Welcome to the shutdown forecast.
This is our, this is, you know, we're stretching into the offseason.
I want to know how you guys felt.
How your energy levels.
Because, you know, you got to monitor that.
February's tricky.
I think it's hard to manage.
Because most people, when do most people sort of let off the gas a little bit, right?
Most people let off the gas like holidays, right?
And we don't, we don't get to do that, really.
college football doesn't get to do that because the holiday it's it's a working holiday and you go someplace like i don't know
you could list any number of the wonderful environs that the sport inhabits from time to time like shreveport
i know always first in mind boise yeah yeah that's that that that's another one the ghost of san diego
whatever san diego is whatever it's whatever you want it to be
except a pro football town it's not that
it's definitely
you know what San Diego State heard you say that
and they're very very disappointed
if San Diego State could move to L.A., they fucking would.
Just the Aztec mascot
with his feathered headdress getting into a moving van.
I'm out of here, bro.
If you out there, if you are a San Diego State,
fan who is offended by what Spencer just said please please tweet it Spencer about it
you'll have to tweet at me because you're not driving over you know I'm so mad I don't go
down I 10 I just want to see something see how many San Diego State folks we got
I'm gonna guess three yeah but you don't you don't get to take bright and now it's like
you know coming up on mid-February kind of eased through a little bit we just got
through signing day, correct?
Yeah, if you say so, yeah.
As a Florida fan, I don't concern myself with these things.
We did okay.
That's always my answer for signing day if it's not a clear, like, number one with a bullet class.
I'm like, we filled our needs.
Listen, you may be totally right, but I still don't concern myself with these things.
That's fine.
I'm telling you the pat answer to give, because somebody's going to go, oh, you're an expert.
I should ask you about it.
You should go, I think we did all right.
It's, you're, listen, it's fine.
But Florida and Tennessee, they both had terrible fucking seasons last year.
So caring about this signing day seems like absurd to me.
Your house, your house just burnt down and somebody's like, ooh, uh, yeah, looks like you're on napkin duty at next year's, at next year's, the 4th of July mixer.
Who gives a shit?
That's forever.
That's forever from now.
I'm worried about the house, the one that's burned down.
you got a hundred thousand dollars in medical debt and here you are getting excited about um pretzels or bogo at the grocery store i found a twenty dollar bill in my jacket tennessee only found ten dollars my liver my liver doesn't fucking work
when daddy macklewain falls asleep on the couch smoking again there's the kind of things that happen that's why his teeth are that way
keep, just keep, you know, watching
film and falling asleep
here. That's
my... Nicotine's a natural
protectant for the tooth's surface.
Government doesn't want you to know
that. It forms...
It forms a shield.
Forms. forms a glistening, glistening
protective casing. No,
it's not attractive, but it works.
You know, it forms
an aura. If it doesn't
work, why haven't I been to the dentist
in 18 years? There is
I think there's some truth to that, by the way, that, like, that, like, if you smoke for you, no, if you, if you're of a certain genetic predisposition, and I don't know what that is with no trend, all right, but there's just a certain type of person who, if they smoke cigarettes real hard for, like, 20, 30 years, they've become this kind of indestructible, you know, wooden sort of God.
It's, yeah, it's, it's like, it's, it's like a buff that they've acquired. It's some sort of weird video game,
tweak where it's like oh you got that
power yeah and they don't get sick
yeah no they don't get sick
one day at like 60 they just
explode right your whole
house smells terrible in all of your
clothes but you will never get the
flu you will never get the flu
I had at least two
I had at least two relatives who fit this
like John Wayne profile right
of like everything's fine
I've never even had an uncomfortable shit son
I'm not stopping smoking you're crazy
I mean, they say whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
That includes things you do to yourself.
It's the conversion to full, it's the full conversion to tumor.
I think if your whole body is tumor, then you can't get cancer.
I mean, that's basically, that's basically what Darth Vader is, right?
Darth Vader's a smoker who just was like, nope, I'll never give it up.
And then, and then you know what?
His shitty little earthy hippie son convinced him to give it up.
and what happened, he died.
Yep, right then and there.
Right.
Unhooked the apparatus from his lungs that were giving him that sweet, sweet tar into his charred remains.
I just want to see somebody remake the original Star Wars trilogy where Darth Vader has a huge Marlboro logo on his cape the whole time.
Or I thought you were going to steal my bit on this, which is that you just Photoshop or digitally CGB.
eye, right? You just sort of put the effect
in of him ripping off
nasty, huge vape clouds the entire
time.
I mean, where do they put
him when he goes to sleep? They put him in a
big tank full of smoke.
That's canon. Look it up, folks.
When they take off his armor and he's
just a little stump, they put him in a tank
and leave him there to barbecue
all night. Hey, in every single
scene where Darth Vader bust through a wall
with some stormtroopers, what's the first thing that pours
out.
That's right.
Smoke.
Sick babes.
It's like a 1998 Nate Dog tour every time
Vader steps in the room.
Do you want, by the way,
I have a friend
who works in the hotel business
and another one who works
kind of peripherally with
some hip-hop people.
This is your thing that, unlike Ryan,
I'm not an attorney,
so I would not have thought of this brilliance, okay?
but do you know where like rappers with weed or any musician with weed
sleeps when they go to the nice hotel they sleep on the bus why because if I had to
guess it's because it's easier to search a hotel room than it is a car exactly you put
all your people and get them they get rest up there but but all anything you got
contraband you just set up a little area it's
way harder to get that that search warrant
for the bus, right?
Because like it falls under RV law.
RV law, separate law.
And also, if they're coming on the bus, you can just say, oh, that's not mine.
Oh, Judge Madden will never sign this warrant.
Boom, you got no probable cause.
So that means that, you know, when the shutdown full cast tour gets underway, right?
Oh, God.
We got to get a tour bus and we got to put up some stanchion so that it's a separate
domicile that's only search.
and ruleable under the laws of the road.
I'm so excited for you to insist that you don't have to pay taxes when you're on the bus.
This is an international through way.
This is Route 74 through Kansas, son.
Why are we in Kansas?
We're a football podcast.
I'll have you know I have mineral rights underneath this bus wherever I park it.
Jason's just out there.
Prospected.
That's my parking lot now.
Guys, we've gone at least 10 minutes
and we haven't talked about the murder robot dogs.
How is that possible?
Murder robot.
Boston Dynamics.
I mean, do you doubt the hellmouth spitting out
the robot demons of tomorrow
that resides somewhere in Boston?
I am so here for the murder.
Everybody's on Twitter.
oh no, here comes the end.
Boston Dynamics done did it.
Skynets. No, man, this is fucking great.
Yes, I concede that the murder robot dogs
will be the downfall of all that we have built
and everyone that we love.
But you know what?
It was all going to shit anyway.
And murder robot dogs,
they don't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation
or religion or gender or age or economic back.
They just fucking chew through you.
with their robotic dog mouths,
which they don't have,
but they will have.
That will happen.
Just accept it now.
It's fine.
It's totally,
if we have to go,
I would much rather leave this planet
to a murderous horde of robot dogs.
If aliens come to Earth now,
what's the most impressive thing we can show them?
The most impressive thing that we can show them is,
um,
uh,
the Nintendo Switch?
There's a big-ass gas station
about halfway between
New Mexico and Oklahoma
that's like a city.
Oh yeah, we can show them a Buckees.
I put that up against anything.
Yeah, like a Buckees with like the Buckees in
like the Buckees on I-10
between San Antonio and El Paso
that has a urinal for every single gas pump
and there's like 80 gas pumps at this Buckees
because it's like, it's basically like
the gas.
factory in any Mad Max movie, right?
This is where everybody's going to go as to this,
Buckees, right?
Yeah.
So,
we're talking about
1,200 years since the dark ages.
That's the best we've come up with.
Give the fucking robot dogs 15 years,
and they will blow these aliens' minds.
They will build something so amazing
and so unsoppled that the aliens would be like,
whatever was here before sucked.
And they'd be right.
So, I mean, the thing with the robot dogs is, you know, it's true what they say.
There's no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.
And who owns the robot dog?
People.
So how are you going to blame the robot dog?
I don't know why everybody's terrified of this robot dog when Boston Dynamics' most terrifying creature has been playing quarterback in Foxborough for the past, like what?
18 years.
It's true.
These robot dogs, they also don't eat hardly any human food.
teach the robot that night shades are bad have the robot say i'm just a positive person when you ask
about anything so this is how we defeat the robot dogs we have them sleep under normal blankets
they're overheated and they had a mushroom you bean it with a strawberry
i ate a piece of cornbread now i have sunburn we have we have the robot dogs play the
Philadelphia Eagles.
What happened?
Piling up the most meaningless yard you've ever seen.
100% the robot dogs are Eagles fans.
100%.
I don't know.
That town doesn't like robots.
Yeah.
That's true.
The robot dogs are coming for their boy.
Hold on.
Hold on.
The robot dogs don't wear pants.
Are super proud when they can stand up long enough to open a door.
And are predicted to be the destruction of all human kind.
That's Philly.
Can I, no, can I, can I rephrase this for you?
Yes.
Okay, robot dogs flummoxed by ice and snow.
We've seen footage of this, right?
Okay, yeah.
They can take a kick, though, but they'll wobble a little bit as if drunk.
Right.
Take about 30 seconds to get through a door, and it takes two of them, right?
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Let's see, you can pour any amount of alcohol into them and they'll just keep going, right?
How are these not Wisconsin fans?
Well, no, the Wisconsin fans, the ice and snow, they'd be okay.
So we convert.
These are LSU fans, right?
Yeah.
Terrifying, probably speak a code that we don't really understand, right?
Can't throw and don't care.
All ground game, baby.
All ground game.
All they do is go chase the ball once it's already hit the ground.
That's right.
That's right.
Created in a lab, right?
You can't spell lab without La, as in Louisiana.
So there, I'm convinced that, yeah, the Boston Dynamics Robot Dogs, they're actually LSU fans.
There, we decided it.
See, not so scary now.
Well, kind of.
It's actually much worse.
Oh, God, the dogs learned how to make a roo.
Don't tell the dog.
The robot LSU fans.
Don't tell the dogs how we did on signing day.
This is my favorite thing with LSU fans
is that they were like at a top 15 recruiting class
and they're like, God damn it.
Half of all LSU fans, by the way,
have already fired at Orgera out in their head.
It's done.
It's done.
They're already there.
Number 14 ranked recruiting class.
Oh, man.
So you think Jimbo come?
Do you think we can pay them $22 million a year?
I think we could, you know, shake a couple of natural gas refineries loose and see if that change will come out, 22 mil.
Honestly, if there's a Jimbo Fisher impersonator out there, you can probably make $9 million a year if you take the Florida State, the LSA job.
So Louisiana is going to sell a couple of private prisons to raise the money to pay any NASCAR driver to come impersonate Jimbo.
Well, they'll rent them for children's parties and such.
That's, which again.
Number 15, that's quite below their standards.
That's, it is below their standards.
I get that.
I just enjoy that like, this isn't a blip.
This isn't anything.
They're just like, you know, Ed, Ed, it's been nice.
It's been good.
It's been good.
Cousin, love you.
Love you so much.
Get in this boat.
Get in this boat.
Don't ask why.
It's getting this boat.
This is where you get drunk, you weigh over,
Commensate, you pay John Fox
like $35 million. Just do
it. He's taking multiple teams
to the Super Bowl. Did he win?
That's not important. You won't play
in the Super Bowl.
So you don't have to worry about that part.
Yeah. Problem solved.
Just go get Sean Payton.
No. He's nearby.
No.
Sean.
Oh, oh, man.
I want you to imagine the mix
feelings when when Saints fans are like oh Sean
Peyton's leaving ah you know what it's for the best
he did a lot of good things to the team but we kind of feel like
he'd reach the ceiling and he took the LSU god damn it
god damn it we'll never be free of him
oh man that
I mean there is one way to be free of him
ban pills
oh
please send any and all
inquiries to our council
The man who just made that comment.
Bud Elliot.
That's right.
But Elliot.
This is one thing that I also found today that I have to discuss with you.
This is a quiz I want to ask everybody, okay?
Because you're familiar with the television series, not the two movies, including one done by Edward Norton.
definitely didn't help ruin the franchise.
The Incredible Hulk, you're familiar with the concept of the old show, right?
Bill Bixby, something would happen in an episode as he drifted from one version of Hellworld to the next,
trying to help people turning green and smashing shit and having to move to the next town.
It was really a show all about how important it is to own a car.
Yes.
That's all it was.
Like, very few of the things that turned him into the Hulk would have happened if he had just had a car.
damn it Carter
you had to put this country in the shitter
make the Incredible
Holt explode all over the place
I blame Georgia, I blame Georgia Tech
Anyway, why do you bring up
the Incredible Hulk?
So what I wanted to ask you
was I'm going to give you a quiz
okay? Because
this is fascinating to me
and you have to tell me whether these are
real or fake
reasons that the Hulk
hulked out in the original
Incredible Hulk series. Oh, my God.
We're so off-season, it fucking hurts.
Yeah. I mean, we do have football
content. It's coming if you want it,
but this is better. I'm just going to go ahead and tell you.
You got to earn it. Oh, hey,
why did you do that Olympic show?
That sounded good. Well, this is what you're getting
said, fucks.
Yeah. So,
I'm going to give you a reason and you have to tell me
whether it's real
or it's fake. I'm probably going to do
like six or seven of them get carried away
and maybe get to eight. Okay.
Okay. Yeah.
All right.
So, so.
Being punched out.
Um, that seems real.
Yeah, that sounds pretty real.
Okay.
Receiving a lethal injection and then having the person say,
oh, I just gave you a lethal injection.
Sorry, David.
Huh.
yeah yeah if you just left out if you just did the first part i might have said fake but i'll go real
on that being pushed down we'll go through these at the end being pushed down a mountainside
by a big foot impersonator real real real so this tv show was like 78 to 83 or something like
That sounds right. Yeah. Sure. Yeah, I'll take yes on that one.
Dealing with a pesky operator in a phone booth. Actual quote from the episode,
I don't have 25 cents, unquote. Is that real or fake? I mean, that's got to be real.
Yeah.
Yeld that by a mean cop.
Mm, fake. I'm just going to go real and all.
Okay.
Please envision this one for me, okay?
Somehow locking himself in an old dark basement and then nearly electrocuting himself.
Think of how stupid.
I mean, that's got to be fake because Dave Banner's too smart to do that.
No, that's real.
Kicking over a beehive and then being surprised when the bees are mad at him.
See, this is dumb.
What kind of David Banner doesn't know what B's are?
Fake.
Locked in a drunk tank with a crazy person who insists he is Ernest Hemingway,
and then beats the crap out of Dail.
Real.
Real.
Yeah, that's real.
Mm-hmm.
All right, about three or four more.
Somehow getting...
We're at like 13, that's fine.
Being rear-ended 15 times in a row.
by a mean bully with a bigger car than his.
You know, it's just, it's, it wouldn't take 15.
It's, it's good because podcasts are, you know, a way to reach a young audience.
That fucking, that fucking loves the original Incredible Hulk television show.
Well, this is something for everybody.
The kids need to know that the past was crap, okay?
They need to know.
Yep.
Spencer's giving them a BuzzFeed quiz.
That one's fake.
That one's fake.
It would take like two, not 15.
Being beaten up by the rag trade mob and having his arm placed in a press iron.
Yes.
Real.
That sounds too specific to be fake.
I don't know what most of those things are.
Okay.
And then it's the last one in my favorite.
Bringing it back to LSU, so we're not totally off the rails.
Being thrown under a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade float by a mean guy in a gorilla suit
who gives Dave a few kicks for good measure.
Who?
Real.
I'll go fake I guess
All of these are real
Every single one of these is real
There's one where he gets blinded
Somehow
And he stumbles into a minefield
Just wanders into an actual live minefield
Somewhere in California
Because that'll happen
So in the 70s
David Banner was like Wiley Coyote
but but but but just minding his own fucking business like the whole premise of wiley coyote is that he's fucking with the roadrunner most of these scenarios he's just doing normal shit no like some of these are like a row of computers falls on him a lot of these sounds like a lot of these sound like ways that a sim would die right if you didn't teach him how to do shit stuck in a pool with no ladder yeah no
Stuck between four sofas.
An old woman won't give him birthday cake.
Standing in a room with no bed, die of sleep deprivation.
David Pee's himself at dinner for no reason.
So mad.
Stuck on the second floor.
See, that's an incredible Hulk I can believe in.
Not one who's like, I'm mad and I've got the rage of
my father, because I'm an edible
figure. No, no, no. The one
I get is like, ah, I was
opening malt liquor and cut my hand
on the aluminum ring.
Ah!
These chips
are mostly air.
Toddler headbutted me.
How did he ever, how
was he ever calm?
How is anything ever okay?
Stumbles into
bees nest.
what are bees
I don't know what bees are
God
What are we talking about
No oh we had a
Fuck this is probably a good point
To say what this episode is
Listen if you nail
If you nail this segue
Give you give this man a Peabody
I don't even think he's attempting it
No
No we're just gonna
We're just gonna jump right out of this
This car is hurtling off the mountain
And I'm just getting out
Bye Spencer I love you
Yeah
Yeah, it's been good.
I'll miss you.
That was the end of our third segment brought to you by sponsor.
Now it's time for the fourth segment.
I mean, we can, we can, this is probably a good point.
So, yeah, people got frustrated that last week there was a bonus episode of the full cast,
which was not the full cast, because we weren't on it and it was organized and it was topical
and it sounded nice and it suggested effort and intention.
And it was on topic.
It was all the things the show is not.
To apologize for that,
here's a promo for a show from our friends at fox.com.
I'm Sean Ramosverum.
I'm the host of Today Explained, a new show from Vox.
It's an all-killer, no-filler, daily news explainer
that'll drop every afternoon.
But not on the recap.
Our show's going to explain the news every way we know how.
Clips, radio drama, maybe even a song.
Today, today explains.
This day, explain.
Subscribe now in Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
Because listen, the only thing you should know about this show at this point,
if you've been listening to this show this long, you know that we don't care about you,
and we don't care about us.
So it's fair.
It's fair.
It's more than fair.
We're the ones who do the show.
That's how little we care about us.
Yeah.
On the alignment, chaotic neutral.
That's what we are.
Cautic neutral.
And we will look forward to the promotion of this program by all of Vox's podcasts.
It's, it's going to be good.
God, I'm going to record something terrible for them.
It's, oh, yeah.
Yeah, just going to combine our worst moments.
It's fine.
But this is, finally, without further ado, I know people were thinking, like, signing day,
came and went the shutdown forecast had nothing to say what the hell bro we're so many levels ahead
of 2018 signing day okay you know who doesn't care about 2018 signing day anymore coaches they've moved
that's right where where are we jason where we laser focused on already well we're racing past
2019 the 2019 signing class um george's already locked up number one got three five stars already
Miami's already nailed down number two.
BYU is in at number nine for 2019.
That'll hold.
I agree.
Of course, those players will be like 38 years old, but
Bama's down to number 10.
Two straight week years.
Rutgers is ahead of Ohio State.
There's no reason to think that will change
and that Urban Meyer has any reason to stay.
All of these things, yeah, they're all locks.
All 100% locks.
Don't even bother looking,
2019 recruiting rankings will not change from today.
2019 recruiting rankings, done.
We can skip ahead to 2020,
where if you look on 24-7,
you discover that FAU has a secret commit.
You click on FAU's lists.
Oh, wait, now you see, shows up now.
Brandon McDuffie, FAU commit.
I thought we had a mystery unveiled in just the last 30 minutes.
Wow.
that we're breaking news tennessee's got two commits neither of them got stars no wait they're invisible
tennessee's 2020 commits that's on brand you go to the 2020 rankings you click on tennessee it says
two commits you click on tennessee it says no results found god be that would be some butch jones
shit wouldn't it be like our this year's recruiting class we're not announced names we're not sending
in names at all because we're a unit be like coach that means none of the none of the letters of intent
are valid if you don't they they're not putting their names on it all right
I'm going to sign any 25 people who want to be on this football team.
You sent me your letter for intent and I put the team down in the signature block.
I don't even need players.
I just need the concentrated power of will like the song.
I've changed you to a name like a Stormtrooper because that's our theme for this year.
Stormtroopers, TM205, get over here.
My favorite thing about early recruiting rankings is Miami always ranks really, really high.
These days under Mark Rick, they're a bit more like.
to actually stay there in and around the top 10, but like for like five or 10 years in a row,
if you look at their recruiting rankings more than six months out, you're going to see Miami in
the top 10. And sure enough, 2019 number two, 2020 number one, they have basically as many
commits as everybody else combined for 2020. I don't know, Miami just gets the shit down early.
I guess they're surrounded by old people. Got to go to bed. But then they just fall back, you know?
jump out of these huge leads and what the hell happens god it's a metaphor god it's an apt metaphor
it reminds you of some things but hey we're not here to dwell on 2020 we got we got
you can go you can go look at the 2021 rankings page at 24-7 um no one has committed yet no
results you can jump ahead to 2029 you get see typical millennial scared you can jump ahead to
2529 there is a page if you type in into the URL 25 20 you can go to 3,000
9,999, you can go back to 1776, 24-7's got it all prepared for you, just in case somebody signs with America in 1776.
Give a time.
Listen, nobody signed for 1974 yet, but you know what, if I'm an NCAA team, I say, well, count my recruits against that.
No, yeah, I know when he graduated, but he's counting towards the class.
of 202835 this one's counting against class of 1960 all right go look at 247 how many how many does it say we have zero i get to use those
spots that's how this works that's smart yeah i think that's what dabbo's doing it's bringing in these classes
of like eight five stars a year so he's got all these spots left over and then he's going to also cash in the
1936 signings that he didn't use just bring in like a hundred people it does feel like dabbo is trying to
to get like a very specific settlers of Khatam achievement, right?
He's like, oh, look, I have all the wool.
Eat it.
I do enjoy, you know, when you talk about, you know,
future recruiting classes that the entire, we had a panic, right,
about, oh, I don't know, Lane Kiffin just offered like a fetus.
Is recruiting going to creep?
Or is this too soon?
Are we going to have people committing like seven, eight years early?
Never happened.
Never happened.
Remember, like David Clarkson?
Like, oh, man, we're going to offer David Clarkson.
Even though he's 11.
There was this, like, minor moment of panic about, oh, man.
Now we're going to just, now we're, it's going to be out of control.
They're going to be recruiting nine-year-old.
No.
Oh, man.
Imagine that happening in, like, any other college sport except for football.
That's inconceivable.
How about any other sport, right?
Like, that's how they felt, like, how old was Leonel Messi?
when Barsa got him, right?
Like, they helped pay for his, like, hormone treatments.
That's how long they knew him.
They knew him when they were like,
yeah, you know, he's eight and he's a little short.
We give him some hormone therapy.
But we can say he has acne, right?
Oh, terrible acne.
Yep.
Can we say that in Argentina?
Okay, how about Spain?
A little more lax there?
Okay, get him to do that.
Yeah, like, other sports have, like,
Hogwarts for their schools.
they have like youth academies for this right
that's why they're good at them
and you know who pays for them
the team wow they actually give them a benefit
you're like oh well the education's your
tradeoff you get right that's how you get paid
yeah they're eight it's a little different than when they're 18
I feel I feel like we're not that far away from that
I feel like somebody is going to you know
you put it out there into the universe so now Michigan is going to be like
yeah we're opening an elementary
school in Miami weird isn't it i mean i amg that i mean i know that's kind of broad so we're just
waiting on some stanford or something to buy i mg somebody with a lot of money vandy's just going to buy
i amg i know i was trying to think of the school that you don't want running a full k through 12 right
and then like stanford louisville louisville what uh what what what what what
What could go wrong with that?
So Bobby Petrino is in charge of the curriculum.
Okay, step one.
That's step one.
That's where we went wrong.
Okay, kids.
Remember, after recess, please show the teacher that you're not wired.
Thank you.
Oh, man, they would have Papa John's for lunch every day.
Fuck lunch, man.
Breakfast, dinner, birthdays, funerals.
I wouldn't trust.
I wouldn't trust Kansas either, but I would not, because you'd be like, man, don't these kids ever play anything but basketball here? This football academy? Oh, we'll get around to it. We'll get there. That'll be fine. Also, we're out of funding.
I think, I think if you listened this long to this episode, you're getting the sense of how far away we are from football. What has happened in the past, we don't have any like leftover endorphins from
that we're so far away from anything in the future and it can be hard to figure out what to cling to
but um i come bearing something that will tide us over something to give us a sense of the idea
that college football while it may not be being played right now still exists in some way
it's the iowa city police log twitter account i have a few selections i'd like to read for you
From February.
And I'm going to read them as seriously as I can.
Female screaming for someone named Dustin not dressed properly.
Two males broke into locked Jimmy John's restrooms.
Four-door white suburban took out bus stop after, quote, Tokyo drifting, end quote, up and down the neighborhood.
Sure.
female screaming yelling saying crazy threatening others running around metal bat that's the whole
thing it says she the same lady who is i know same lady in all these men oh right yeah
all right these these go back to back and they show you sort of the duality of man here's the
good side from february 10th male showed up at his door and is intoxicated
not causing a problem, can't find his way home.
February 10th as well.
Mail out of control at McDonald's.
Been there.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, that could be me.
That could be neither of my sons.
Yeah.
It's getting rambunctious at the McDonald's.
Who in America has not at one point been as a man,
the man out of control of McDonald's because I have I know I have man Iowa has never
I was never lost let's just put it out there Iowa has never lost I mean this is my rule that
that the more organized and efficient of places than the more loose and off rails it gets
when it decides to get loose and off rails right and that kind of that kind of works for
for Iowa right and for you know for Wisconsin like
These are places that, you know, are otherwise, like, you know, Midwest are nice and stuff works and it's all fine.
And then when it comes time to, when it comes time to get weird, it gets capital W-E-I-R-D real, real fast and real aggressive like, right?
Like Madison?
Yeah.
Like Madison, if you follow that police blotter, it's incredible.
You know what it is otherwise?
Fine place to live.
Lovely services.
Everything organized.
Well run.
just a well-run, very-together kind of place, right?
Kind of place you want to take a family
and make sure they get to bed by 9 p.m.
Enter in the house.
Because if somebody decides to get weird,
they get Scandinavian weird,
burn down their house, wander into the forest,
talk to the wolves for a while,
maybe call one friend,
maybe start a business with one of them,
has to be rescued and brought back to humanity.
That's Wisconsin, y'all.
