Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the shutdown forecast. I'm not Spencer Hall. I am not Spencer Hall. I'm joined by not Spencer Hall. Spencer Hall is, he'll be joining us in just a few minutes. You'll see. Yeah, just, just hang super, just like, let's do the restaurant thing. Oh, just like 10, 15 more minutes, guys.
Starting point is 00:00:17 That's all here. I'm going to give you this virtual buzzer. Go over to the bar and have an overpriced martini and some nuts. Spencer's going to be here super soon, super, super soon. Spencer is, Spencer's going to be like a five-minute, Wait, can you pull forward into the, into the, um, the empty space over there? Yeah, I know, I know it's, it's pretty far. We'll bring the bearded jackass to your car.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It's okay. No, no, no, it's no trouble at all. We'll just push, shove him right into the trunk. Yeah, I know. There's probably not room for all that in your trunk. That's fine. We'll just, we'll time to the luggage rack. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Everybody will just think it's a dead Christmas tree. He loves it up there. Spencer is He's a Colorado, right? Is that right? He's doing wintry things, which is great because his beard in the winter environment with like a ski hat on.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Oh my God, he looks like an extra on like a special Christmas episode of Justified. It's amazing. Yeah, either that or the abominable creature from the root off the claymation rudolph right right yeah this is this is this is what a snowman looks like without any snow this is the skeletal insides just humongous bones it's just it's just three big round bones that's that's spencer's innards a stack of round bones he's an anatomically correct skeleton innards that's what he is a whole working system yep thanks for
Starting point is 00:01:56 Frosty, God damn it. Three bones with organs inside of them. Three organs. It's a thick carapace to protect. You know, like a T-800, but for snowmen, it all makes sense. God, there's no college football. There's, what is, I'm like, Jim McElwain got a job. Woo-hoo!
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah. That's it. Yeah. That's it. Nick Sabin went and hired quite arguably the country's best. defensive line coach, which, oh, okay, maybe Bammo have a really good defensive line now. Can you imagine that? Finally, finally. Areas of weakness being addressed. Wouldn't that be weird and exciting? Worth discussing. Oh, we should just, oh, I forgot, we can make up news. Yeah, you can transfer now whenever you want.
Starting point is 00:02:44 And you don't have to sit out. You can transfer week to week if you want to. If you want to just sort of, you know, be like a circuit court judge back in the day, riding the circuit. Oh, I'm all-time quarterback. That's what they call me. I can't be tied down to one school. Gotta be moving on. Thank you. Yep, you can do it now. Look it up. NCAA just said, fuck it. Why not?
Starting point is 00:03:04 We don't care anymore. Totally legal. Yep, that passed. You can just go out there and be like, I declare myself Yukon and voila, you play for Yukon. I don't know why you'd want to play for Yukon. Here's how the transfer rule should work. If you transfer up, and, you know, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:03:21 we'll use, let's say, Bill Connolly's S&P Plus. system for this, right? If you transfer up, we're in charge. If you transfer up, okay, you have to sit out a year. If you transfer down, start right away. Start right away. Multiple times. You can transfer all the way.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You can start all the way at Georgia, Alabama, Clemson level. Drop on down, say like, I'm going to play for, I'm going to play for Michigan now. Okay, drop on down a little bit more. I'm going to play for Mississippi State now. Keep going, and just keep going. Just keep going until you find the spot that's right for you. That's the way you should work the transfer system. Like a piece of fruit falling out of a tree and just passing through.
Starting point is 00:04:10 It's more like human plinko, I think. That's it, yeah. Human Planko. And you say, and you're saying, oh, that's so savage, so disrespectful to college football. Consider all of the rest of it. So if you transfer down, you can play right away? You can play right away. You don't have to sit out a day.
Starting point is 00:04:30 So you could rig it. If you really set up your schedule right, you could rig it so you play like 20 games in a season. You could just really burn a lot of calories. That's right. That's right. And then that's great for your draft prospects. People look at you and say, oh, look at this guy. Or if you're already talented, you can keep transferring and just transferring during bye weeks.
Starting point is 00:04:53 or at least it'd be like, well, you know, untested but fresh. Mm-hmm. Be like, oh, damn, just missed it. Just missed it, you know? But practiced hard. Practiced, real, real hard. Coach said, well, he came in. He had a good study hall.
Starting point is 00:05:10 He had perfect attendance once he found where the math building was. That was a real ordeal. His dorm bathroom was cleanish, and that's what counts. He used it once. I'm not going to say it was perfect. Not up to our standards here at Western Kentucky. But you know what? It showed promise, showed development.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Yeah, so that's what the NCAA said. If you get your new, if you get your college football news only from this program, don't look it up. No need to. Why would you? I don't know. Yeah. And if you're a media member and you get your college football, oh, man, you better go blog that. Yeah, post it, post it right now.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Boss is probably pretty pissed. You miss that piece of news. Probably should blog it. You don't, you don't even have to credit it. us on it because it's already it's already public domain in that the term yep that's right yep yep it's the camp town races rule that's what they call it because it's free for everyone yep because the NCAA is as old as that song is that song is old and possibly racist based on that one movie where they sing it yeah that sounds right the movie with jean wilder
Starting point is 00:06:17 in it what is it the cowboy movie space cowboys or are you talking about urban or what what with jean wilder as oh is the cat oh oh sorry blazing saddles that's it i thought you met jean hackman and i was very confused yeah blazing saddles yeah blazing saddles they sing it in that and i think it's supposed to seem as if it's racist but i don't really know anything about it but anyway it's old so it probably is um also in the news that's it man that's it's it's fucking the NFL combine is coming up that's that's awesome that's that's just awesome news so we we oh wait wait wait lamar jackson's a wide receiver yeah we forgot that piece mark jackson has again been moved to wide receiver this just keeps happening i can't i don't i don't know what we're going to what we're
Starting point is 00:07:12 going to do here's the thing so bill paulian said two notable things today former what Colts general manager, Bill Pauline? The guy who drafted Peyton Manning and then tried to trade him for like a decade or something like that. Right, right, right, right. He said two things in national press today. Today is Monday something, something, I don't know. First was Lamar Jackson's wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:07:36 He's too short. He's too inaccurate, but he's got great open field instincts compared him to Antonio Brown. That's thing one. Thing two, not related to college football directly. He said if he's the Philadelphia Eagles and somebody wants to trade for Nick Foles, Super Bowl champion, may his name forever be praised, Philadelphia, it will. He's not listening unless you're bringing two first rounders and two second rounders for Nick Foles. For how many Nick Foles? For how, for, oh, it's a gross.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Okay, that's 144 Nick Foles. Yep, yep, they all, you, uh, you got to pull your, you got to pull your, you got to pull your, you got to pull the F-250 around to the back of the Eagle store and then they'll just load, they're on pallets, they just load them up, here you go, perfect flesh boys, 144 of them, take them with you. They're hard workers.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Is it like, is it a drum full of Nick Foles and you add water? No, no, buddy, you don't want to add water. They'll expand too quickly. Don't add. No, you you leave them out on the lawn overnight and then the morning do, they slowly expand. If you
Starting point is 00:08:44 just add water directly, but, uh, buck you're gonna you're gonna ruin your house you're gonna destroy your roof you're gonna have a bunch of large rowdy nick foals boys oh these oh what happened to the garage well well had too many nick foals in it well pipe burst and again it got to the nick foals barrel yeah that'll happen um well that's that's uh so that he wants four graphics for um he wants four for the backup quarterback for Nick for Nick Falls which has led me
Starting point is 00:09:16 to this conclusion Bill Paulian is just saying shit just to just to make life uncomfortable for current NFL jams that's it because if
Starting point is 00:09:25 if the Eagles got an offer tomorrow that was like hey it's Team X here and we're very dumb and we like to offer you two first round picks
Starting point is 00:09:34 for Nick Foles right now you'd think they'd be like well Jesus we kind of got to take that deal but now Bill Paulian's out
Starting point is 00:09:42 here saying kind of getting fleeced here boys giving up your big wet soppy boy for just two first rounders huh seems like an error and that's why i like you suckers you only took three first round he's just he's just going around leaving yelp reviews on restaurants he's never been to and never will go to that's all the internet's for and that's that's all sports media is for so yeah this guy is um very informed obviously he's very great right right very very very very good assessment of things and his brain his brain
Starting point is 00:10:15 his brain is very healthy because it's the same brain that says Lamar Jackson's a wide receiver but you should give up two entire drafts basically for neck pulls it's a healthy brain yeah hmm well everything's fine so
Starting point is 00:10:32 folks you're all caught up on football news I always it always cracks me up when we try to keep up with news on this program because like man who gives a shit I don't It's not, it's not a very newsworthy program. It's just like the news section. It's like, ah, let's find some stuff to say.
Starting point is 00:10:52 All right, maybe, maybe Popolian knew that this was a dull time of year. Maybe he listens to the shutdown forecast. And maybe with, again, his perfectly healthy brain, he predicted our prompt. He wanted, this was his boldest take. We asked for your boldest questions, takes, et cetera. When we put this one out, this was, this was the most, like, I don't know, y'all fill in the details prompt we've ever sent out. It was just like, I don't know, type some words. And boy, did y'all respond?
Starting point is 00:11:27 Whenever we do this, and I think you, our audience know this, this is the teacher who went to a wedding over the weekend and is showing up on Monday without a, I don't know, let's just watch Glory. Here we go. Please, just write an essay about what you would do if you were an astronaut, stranded into space here. This is a math class. Just write it. Write it. Don't you remember being an astronaut.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Astronauts use math, and they're very quiet because space is quiet. There's no sound in space. You kids know that. In college, when I was in English education major, I had to intern at a middle school and a high school. and one day I was put in charge of the middle school for the middle school class for an entire day with the extremely minimal lesson plan so I was like all right we're going to watch the video and boy I'll tell you that video it does not cover an entire seven hour day so it's sort of like we're going to watch the video again what what was the video if you recall I really do not even
Starting point is 00:12:35 remember. Oh, it was something about like the history of media in the state of Georgia or something like that, like the first TV station or whatever. It was really good stuff. And I remember a few hours end of the day. It was at the point where I was telling the kids, all right, you can rap, but rap quietly to yourselves. Because the table banging was, it was becoming disruptive to some of the other classrooms that that um weren't generating quite as many bars as ours was but these are these are prison rules okay okay you can rap but only when you got phone time okay i'll tell you what the door in prison that's a hell of a that is a hell of a drum you bang on that thing it's got some serious repercussion to it it sounds like it sounds like the grinding beat anytime you so much is touch
Starting point is 00:13:26 the door in prison yep so anyway there's no comment football happening so our listeners sent in some they type some words at us um pretty good words i think good job by all of them i'm proud of them do you want to start or you want me to start um let's see here i like this one from our good friend chris barnwall when is the last time you beat an 80 to 100 hour video game jesus well what what what what like what i can't even like think of, I think I'm at that point in life and responsibility where I wouldn't even buy an 80 to a hundred, a hundred hour video game. So I'm just like, I don't even know. My brain is just like block them out. They should be labeled in some part of like the video game store or whatever with like,
Starting point is 00:14:18 oh, this is the divorce section. If you have one or if you would like one, buy this. Yeah, I don't know if I ever have. Like I'm, I'm certain I've spent my, more than 80 or 100 hours playing a game, you know, like, whether it's a sports game or it's one of these strategy games I play these days, because I'm old. But like, it's like, we're going to start the story and we're going to play through until we kill the bad guy. Like, how the hell does that take 80 hours? Um, I can't even know. I got bad news. I googled the 100-hour video games. Um, and I click the first result is lazy. One of the first predictions on here was Red Dead Redemption 2
Starting point is 00:15:00 Oh Lord That's gonna happen So some personal news This podcast is canceled For the month after that game comes out No no it's just a Red Dead Redemption 2 podcast Okay You gotta pivot into what works
Starting point is 00:15:17 Okay Oh it's not about college football You can follow us on Twitch Yeah Yeah I'm scrolling through these I haven't even heard Of half of these games I recognize that they exist
Starting point is 00:15:28 Um, Lego Worlds. Sure, man. What the hell is that? How good that thing? Sea of, Sea of thieves. Oh, man, I feel so old. So the answer is probably Mario 3 before I learned about the warp whistle. That is true back in the day. Like that, um, Ninja Gaiden, Gaden, whatever it was. Yep, like those old impossible Nintendo games. Yeah, I probably dumped a hundred. hundred hours in those. Yeah, the NES Ninja Turtles. Yeah, where it's like, did you ever get past level three?
Starting point is 00:16:04 No, 100 hours, got to level three. How many lives do you start? Two, and you lose life every time you get looked at funny. Yeah. It's a realistic game about life on the streets as a nude ninja turtle, okay? Yeah, so I think the answer is, I mean, I'm sure I put it that much into like Madden O-4. But did I ever really beat it? No, you can't.
Starting point is 00:16:32 You can't beat Madden. That doesn't make sense. I mean, you win the Super Bowl. You've got to start scouting draft prospects. That's right. It's just like being a real coach. Just like, well, this took time away from, oh, what are we celebrating anyway? Damn dolphins have won a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:16:49 What are we the dolphins? I'm mostly happy that there are people listening to this podcast. They're like, oh, the dolphins won a Super Bowl. I didn't even know that. Yeah, well, until you said that, I mean, I don't even know when the last time that information crossed through my brain was. So that was a pleasant refresh. Surely it was when Nick Saban was there, right? Greatest coach of all time.
Starting point is 00:17:12 He was on the way. Okay. That's a good way to put it. That's a real slick way to put it. Yeah, he loosened the jar. He didn't quite open it, but that's not his fault. All right. I'll just dive into this question because it'll make me sad.
Starting point is 00:17:26 It's from noted cold person. the greatest will must champ will finish ahead of florida in the cc east for 2018 and 2019 oh all right well now we're going to do now you're going to make me look up to florida's football schedule for both of those years which just just damn rude okay so uh obviously we only care about the cc games because we're just talking about the east race um Florida has to go to Knoxville to Starkville early in the year they get LSU at home they got to go to Vanderbilt and they get South Carolina at home and there's maybe a George game in there somewhere in Missouri game whatever that's not too bad all told that's manageable however
Starting point is 00:18:12 Florida is bad and will maybe be less bad next year but who's to say I'm not confident maybe you've never listened to this podcast before uh South Carolina on the the other hand. God, your page takes forever to load. I don't need this Toyota ad. Carolina, of course, your all-time most hated conference rival is Texas A&M,
Starting point is 00:18:37 where Jimbo's boys have to play, what is it, like, Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Jesus, Thanos, fucking Darth Mall. Only half a Darth Mall. Darth Mall is on scholarship
Starting point is 00:18:53 restrictions. I threw him in there because I like him. He's really not all that tough. First of all, South Carolina's schedule took so long to load that I'm pretty sure that was their way of saying like,
Starting point is 00:19:01 are you sure? Hey, it's February. Are you sure you want to care about South Carolina football right now? You sure you shouldn't be doing literally anything else? Just putting our pants on.
Starting point is 00:19:10 You're the first person who's wanted this information ever. We usually don't get this until July. Well, hey, it's a pop-up for your family. Look at that. You got to close that ad
Starting point is 00:19:20 before you can look at the schedule. Yep, it's them. Photo of them. How do we get it? Don't worry about it. So South Carolina's road schedule at Vanderbilt, at Kentucky, at Old Miss, at Florida. God. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Fine. Fine. 2018. They got it. 2019? I make no predictions. Yeah, that's, I mean, come on. What is this?
Starting point is 00:19:47 If you're certain who's going to be coaching which team, then you are, honestly, honestly, the smart bet is probably just a say no, because under the exact terms, it has to be must champ finishing ahead of Florida, right? That's true, but that doesn't mean he has to do it at South Carolina. So he would have to be within the SEC and ahead of Florida, it doesn't matter which he'd have to be within the SEC East. And all I'm saying is, let's say Kirby Smart gets very ill. And let's say Georgia doesn't want the public to know that. they pull a Dave and they're just like Will get out here, Will put on the visor
Starting point is 00:20:29 just go, you're Kirby just play the part he can do it yeah that would fulfill the terms of course it would be there would be all sorts of investigations and notaries and so forth and haggling
Starting point is 00:20:45 with the person who asked this question until the truth was revealed via a public records request that it was actually not Kirby but Will Mushchamp Luckily, those in the state of Georgia, those are turned around just a moment, just a quick matter of time. 2076, we have agreed to release this FOIA. This question also made me come to the uncomfortable realization that all three of Florida's current football coach, Dan Mullen, and its last two coaches, Jim McElwain and Will Must Champ.
Starting point is 00:21:17 They all kind of look the same in the way that like a PlayStation 2, RPG, create a character with sort of like oh you know all these different options and it's like it's just the same white white dude and I can like slightly change his haircut and how fat his neck is that's it these are the same people so that makes me feel good can you can you pick a can you pick a take now please I like this three pack from mighty Vulcan a narwhal and Owen Johnson Why are the Beatles so overrated? Ancient Rome was overrated, and Nirvana is overrated. I'll stamp all three of those opinions.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I like all three of them. You're on board with all... Can you rank them in order of overratedness? Least overrated, go. Least overrated? I mean, at least Nirvana was doing their own thing, I guess, as far as I know. You know, whereas like the Beatles, all they did was show up here and play our own songs back to us, you know, like, oh, we're going to take some Chuck Barry songs and we're
Starting point is 00:22:27 going to go play them for Americans. We already had those. You know, like, what was that? And like, ancient Rome, like, like, ancient Rome, okay, so you're going to be a big Mediterranean empire. Greece already did that. Persia did that before Greece. So, either of those two is most overrated here. They copied the playbook. Yeah. To answer the question, why, Were the Beatles so overrated? It's because there was nothing else to do in the city. You had two options in the 60s if you were a young person. You could participate in the civil rights movement, which if you did, great.
Starting point is 00:23:05 But, you know, some people didn't live in the relevant areas or maybe didn't want to get, like, wanted to do other things as well as participate in the civil rights movement or, I don't know, they were intensely racist. Who's the Senate? um your other options were to watch terrible television in 1964 on primetime television lassie was on lassie you could watch lassie you could watch the patty duke show you could watch the beverly hillbillies the munsters bewitched and this has me thinking so jason you and i are about the same age so these were probably also the shows that were on this and like gilligan's island and shit like that. That's the shit that was on during the summer
Starting point is 00:23:50 in the middle of the day, right? On your TNT, your TBS, whenever a Braves game was rained out, basically. Right, sure, yeah. Right, right. So if that's what, if we were watching, like, cheesy old 60s television as children, what were they watching?
Starting point is 00:24:07 There was nothing to watch in the middle of the day when the Braves game was rained out. There was absolutely nothing. So at that point, it was just, listen to the Beatles, or go participate in the summer, civil rights move and if you're a braves fan i don't know if you're participating in the
Starting point is 00:24:21 odds are slim i mean and even you know even even even the most kind-hearted and um generous of braves fans you'd get tired of participating in the civil rights movement at some point sure i mean if you did it for 23 hours a day at some point you have to sit down you know oh yeah i mean i mean even the most staunch participant of the civil rights movement in the 19th 60s would tell you it was exhausting it was mentally physically emotionally tiring do you know what's not listening to a Beatles song it's it's like eating a jolly rancher the right way where you just stick it in your mouth and let it melt that shit is easy as as as fuck and in the 60s that's what you wanted just something super non-challenging and simple yeah it's like putting a tide pod in your washing
Starting point is 00:25:16 Hey. Hey. Okay. That's fine. Come on now. You know we don't encourage that. Washing your clothes, that is. We're bloggers. Disgusting. I like the song about wanting to hold her hand. And I like the weird one at the end of the rock band game where the building explodes and falls apart. That one's pretty good. So look that one up. And that is their other good song. They got two joints, two good, two good jams. They did pivot pretty hard from like Billy Joel style, this is the most straightforward song in the world, to like, drugs. Yeah. Which is impressive because Billy Joel, you know, not exactly the cleanest body, but he stays on message, doesn't he? He's still telling you what's going on.
Starting point is 00:26:07 That he does. Had my license suspended in 1984. And he did. I don't know if that's true. This question comes from Brian Miles at Brimai. We should have a mid-season all-star game in college football just to make Nick Saban coach it. And because who boy would people get mad? Brian, yes they would. Mostly the second part of that is what I want to talk about.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Because if we decided to have an NHL baseball NBA-style all-star game halfway through the year, in college football. Jason, what would people say if they were opposed to these things? If they were opposed to their players participating in them? The poor overworked student athletes don't have time to recover and study for their tests.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Okay, that's what, yeah, three sports writers would say. If you were a fan, what would you say? Well, I think if you're a fan, you would use that argument because you don't want your guys getting tired or hurt. Right, right. You would want them being picked, but you would want them to decline the honor.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Sure, because we don't want our guys getting hurt in a meaningless game. We want them to just, you know, step aside. Let's not waste our injuries in an All-Star game. We need to save those injuries. We need to save them, okay? I only have so many health pods that I can use. I got to find more. I got to beat the Garudo Village thing first.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Get more hearts. We got to beat Vanderbilt to unlock an extra heart. Jaboo Javu y'all. Vandy's like a fifth of a heart at best. Oh, Vandy is the Deku tree. It's just at the beginning and you're just like, oh, that's it? All right, cool. You beat Vandy and you get 10 coins.
Starting point is 00:28:03 And then Vandy dies and you're supposed to feel sad, but you've like barely known Vandy. So it kind of feels weird. Yeah, this is a bowl game. It's just in the middle of the season. that's the best part of it. So, yes, we should do this just to test all the people who are like,
Starting point is 00:28:22 so-and-so is sitting out of the bowl game and he doesn't respect his teammates and he doesn't respect the great honor it is to go to Shreveport and get a duffel bag. This plus, you know, the transfer rule, you're going to want this All-Star game so that guys can make contacts with lower schools
Starting point is 00:28:38 that they can immediately transfer to. The All-Star game is just a a big old swap meet of humans. Yeah, it's a job fair. It's fine. Trading themselves. I like how we've, in our efforts to improve this sport, which is how I would describe these ideas, we really only change things by like one or two percent.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You know, we don't, we don't make radical changes. We make slight tweaks, and they sound really crazy, which should tell you something about the way things actually are. Yeah, we're not, we're not adding new things. We're just sort of like changing the ratio. You know? Oh, we're going to use a little more nutmeg. Filling with the sliders.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Like this one, for instance, this is from Kevin Gengler. At Kevin Gengler on Twitter. How would you fix Rutgers football? This is very easy. I would just cheat. I would just cheat so hard, so much, because Ruckers of old cheating would have stood out. People would have said, wait a second. Why is, you know, what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:29:41 Ruckers isn't a power program. Blah, blah. blah. But now, if you're Michigan and you lose a four-star tight end to Rutgers, are you going to be able to say, oh, well, they paid him? Like, now you had to do that. That's where you had to go for this. Why do you think, like, UNC got away with it under Butch Jones for so long, or Butch Davis, rather, for so long? Because it was UNC football. Nobody wants to turn around and say, well, they're cheating. Because they're not good. Good. If you're not good, you should cheat.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I think the other thing with Rutgers to fix Rutgers is they should go back to the Big East. And this, after I say that, the gears start turning. The smart listener out there says, well, there is no such thing as Big East football anymore, to which I say, exactly. Conference championship. Oh, look at that. Undefeated. Eight years in a row, Big East champions, Rutgers, huh? Boy, sure seems better to whatever Maryland's doing in the Big Ten. Idiots. Penn State had signed every recruit in our state.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Well, they didn't win the Big East, did they? Can't win a conference. No, that's the other option is, that's the other option is for records to just like float, I don't know, just say they're going to the Pac-12 to the right people and the Pac-12 panics and like, yes, we knew that. Yep. we wanted it's happen the papers have been drawn up the pack 12 is fine and you can't have it on television
Starting point is 00:31:19 because television's bad for you pack 12 knows that that's why we're not on it wants you to come out and get fresh air and buy a tofu dog pack 12 people they're selling it as all part of their international expansion plan like I thought you were going the other way
Starting point is 00:31:36 I thought you're going to China no no it's New Jersey there are many paths on this Many paths on the Spice Road, traveler, many paths. We're going the roundabout way. What's the hurry? What's the hurry? Sometimes in risk, you have to pick a random country to just pick a foothold in.
Starting point is 00:31:54 We had to add Rutgers because there's one town, there's a suburb of Philadelphia where people get the Pact Shelf Network. We don't know why. Those are precious commodities and we need to hang on to them. There are exactly eight cities in the world where people get the Pactual of Network and now we hold all of them. We're having the Pact 12 championship at Yankee Stadium. Do something about it. No, they would have it at Shea Stadium. That's the Pact 12 move.
Starting point is 00:32:19 The one that doesn't exist anymore. Oh, no. It's at the U.S. Open Tennis Facility. That's where it is. The Pact 12, they got to have there somewhere where no one goes. No humans go there. And even if they could, they wouldn't want to. That'd be the Pact 12 move.
Starting point is 00:32:35 You know what it is? It's like the old New Jersey Nets Stadium, wherever that is. I'm sure it's horrible. The Aizad Center, I believe it was last called. Wow. Yeah, I've been there. I've been to the Aizod Center exactly once back when LeBron was going through his first run with the Cavs. That was the only reason I went to Annette's game.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And Montel Jordan was the halftime performer. It was sad all around. Damn, this is Pac-12 as hell. This is Montel Jordan, Pac-12 Commissioner. Approved. Found your new home, Pac-12. this is how we do it it's friday night after all hey they do love friday night they do love doing stuff like having their only playoff team play on a friday night at like four it's friday night all right
Starting point is 00:33:23 kids love montel jordan you'd say hey pack 12 why did you have washington travel to a friday this is how we do it this is this is how we do it okay um unfortunately it will be very sad when the pack 12 has its conference championship at the isod center in new jersey and wreckers not close not even no just not yeah still still it's cool it's cool um here's an easy one from blockchain bra 420 is college football going to exist in 25 years no no next um from turbo weasel on twitter nebraska will go six and six despite all of the frost type despite is a funny word there because like they were way worse than six and six if they creep up to six and six it's still something man i mean i don't like it will look at the ucf year one was six and six so boom
Starting point is 00:34:22 nebraska fake national title in year two come on it wouldn't be the first one right i'm kidding i'm kidding they deserve the 97 title i'm kidding it's a joke are you sure yeah yeah yeah yeah i'd take them over that michigan team yeah jeez oh god we're gonna get great you can tweet at spencer mission fans tweet at edsb sbs with all your um 97 team was robbed takes uh yes i know about the flea kicker but i also saw what happened at the end of that rose mall that was some bullshit so every dead schnellenberger belongs somewhere that's what it stands for that's what it stands for yeah he won't even say where he won't even say heaven that ass that's stupid ass um I mean Nebraska Can Nebraska Can Nebraska
Starting point is 00:35:11 They'd be How would they God I guess there are six Lusable games on the schedule It depends Because like You play Illinois
Starting point is 00:35:22 It can't be that one You play Akron Can't be that one But like Oh It's possible But you would have to lose
Starting point is 00:35:34 I mean you're losing A Northwestern Because you always lose Northwestern Okay So let's say you lose all your away games. Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Iowa. Like, that in and of itself is not impossible.
Starting point is 00:35:49 But let's say you lose all of them. Now you've got to pick a home loss and, like, what's the most palatable one on here? Michigan State? That could happen. They return their entire team. Minnesota? Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Like, you got, you got to drop a game at home that you really don't want to lose, and you have to lose all your road games. I mean, after you ran through that schedule, I'm like, let's shoot for six and six here. That's a pretty rough schedule. Yes, me. Let's do this one from Cuppus Maximus at Cuppus Maximus. I've never seen The Godfather, and I don't know if I want to watch it, because it's long. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah, it is long, man. what do you got to know about the godfather um guy gets shot at a toll booths a guy eats a lot of oranges he dies too there's guns there's a canoli um i think that's it yeah it's one of those things we've tried to watch it like decades later like i think i watched the first i watched the first time in college and at that point it had been out forever and i'm watching it like i'm going to soak up the brilliance and then you know it's like Yeah. I mean, if you've seen Goodfellas, you've seen the same movie just with more cussing and shooting and entertainment.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So just watch Goodfellas instead. It's 258. Godfather is 258. Goodfellas is 228. Save yourself that half hour. Oh, my God. You cram that half hour and you devote it toward one of these 150-hour video games that are apparently going on. You only have them.
Starting point is 00:37:36 is a godfather video game that shit would take they made that no no they made a godfather video game I am positive they did this this was probably in hold on 2006 yep that was the time we all made bad choices oh that sounds horrible I was I was thinking you're going to say like
Starting point is 00:37:54 1989 and it's like a type your own adventure kind of thing but oh six I just picture how awful this was no no no no god this has a long Wikipedia page For sure. Oh, it's an open world action adventure game. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Fucking great. Because really what that movie needed was to spend more time exploring stuff. Uh-huh. Just really, really marinating in it. The plot is, the plot of this video game stretches over seven paragraphs on Wikipedia. There are novels that are described. Jesus Christ. okay yeah don't don't play this game don't don't I mean it's a 2006 game so I don't think
Starting point is 00:38:43 you should but um they also made a Scarface video game so it's fun that sounds pretty good I bet that one's a lot better also in 2006 um guess what it's an open world action adventure game hmm there was a time when all the every there was a time when every there was a time every video game we made was just like, oh, what if it's just Grand Theft Auto? Can we just steal Grand Theft Auto? Cool. Yeah, we don't really feel like making levels, so it's an open world.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Okay, so it's Truman Show, except you can find guns and do missions. And you've got to kill Ed Harris. He's the final batty. Did you get Ed Harris? No, we did not. We got Ed Begley. Ed Begley, Jr. is the voice of Ed Harris in this.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Truman Show, the open world adventure game. A lot of people ask us about national anthems. A lot of people went in it because those have been in the news. Our very long and complicated national anthem that is just a series of questions about whether a flag is still upright amid bombings or not is in the news, thanks to Fergie, who was going for like some sort of like 1930s jazz lounge kind of thing or whatever. She was trying to make a, she was trying to make a sexual. She was trying to sexualize the national anthem. Yeah, the song about, like, the walls are exploding. Can you see, yeah, it's a very long, it's a very long way of asking, hey, it's smoky, can you see the flag?
Starting point is 00:40:22 That's it. I was singing, though, the most, I mean, yeah, you could send out, you know, any old bad singer or whatever, but I think what would fill me with the most dread would be if Imagine Dragons came out and did it, because my Lord, I'd be hearing that. shit every 45 minutes and every go to commercial bumper in every college football game for the next 12 months because every time those fellas get into a studio they produce something that I hear a hundred times whether I want to
Starting point is 00:40:52 or not I would like it to be some like you kind of know him but he wasn't that successful rap let's use Mr. Cheeks let's say it's Mr. Cheeks and I would like him not to rap the national anthem, but I would like him to sing it and sing it beautifully. Like, so beautifully and so powerfully that we're all like, oh, my fucking God, Mr. Cheeks could sing the whole time. And then we go to him and we're like, Mr. Cheeks, that was, and the best part is we
Starting point is 00:41:20 have to keep calling him Mr. Cheeks throughout this exchange, this fictitious exchange that we say, that was so, like, moving, you touched parts of my soul. I didn't even know existed. We need you to sing more. And he's just like, no, man. just the rap. I just do the wrap. That's it. Here's lights camera action again for the 18th time. Yeah, because with that, it would be just a tantalization that we couldn't hear Mr. Cheek sing anymore. All right, I'm going to throw this one to you. It's from Chris Laporte at LaPort Report. The Super Bowl is in Atlanta next season.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Don't know if you knew that. Which NFC fan base do you least want to have invade your city? I'm going to take one team off the board here because the obvious answer here is the Saints Yeah, I'd rather not Honestly, that's sort of a waking nightmare of mine For the past, I don't know, since they announced the game So just pretending that is an impossibility That would really lighten the mood
Starting point is 00:42:21 No, if the Saints win the NFC championship next year Atlanta fans are going to put their houses on Airbnb And then immediately start Googling how to cause carbon monoxide poison. So, so no, let's take New Orleans out of this all together.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I think we're just going to move. We all live in South Carolina now. That's where we just just like dug Atlanta up and moved it slowly. Yeah, there's nothing there. There's a stadium. That's it.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Airport stadium. That's it. Okay. Yep. Yep. Let's see here. So, So what is the question?
Starting point is 00:43:02 Who do we least want to see? Which NFC fan base do you least want to have invade the city for the Super Bowl next year? I mean, they're kind of already here because it's Atlanta. So they've all already got their enormous sleeper cells here already. Packers fans are actually low-key obnoxious I've found in their journeys here. I like Seahawks fans. How do you feel about Cowboys fans? I don't really mind them.
Starting point is 00:43:30 They don't really care much about sports, so what are they going to do, you know? They don't really know who any other players are or anything like that. It's like you just distract them with like a Duke basketball jersey. I don't know. They don't care. They're fine. But then Chris Christie gets to come. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Clayflung. Dallas. Good for him. That's how you know sports are bullshit in the Northeast. Because the governor of New Jersey was a fucking Cowboys fan. Imagine that shit flying. any southern state if the fucking governor of florida was like oh actually you know what go balls so i mean as a falcons fan i would say i would be most distressed to see the lions come through because that is
Starting point is 00:44:13 one of the that is one of the like three teams we're ahead of right now and if they were to jump us like oh lord we're ahead of the cardinals and that's it you know what i mean like but as far as actual fan bases i don't know if the giants fans were really feeling themselves that'd be pretty terrible um i just i just love like chubby matt stafford walking back into oh here he comes our state's favored son he didn't grow up here yeah but we fed him we grow him yeah yeah him and no sean moreno again another texas new jersey connection he suckled at our buttery teeth and that's what's important flowing here not grown here
