Shutdown Fullcast - Shutdown Fullcast 8.09: Skip Holtz To Bama / Urinal Poopin' / A Defense Of Man Buns
Episode Date: March 20, 2018ALL HAIL THE RANDOMIZER. There is nothing of consequence to discuss this week in college football so rather than rely on the extremely faulty computers that are our own brains, we turned to the Shutdo...wn Fullcast Topic Randomizer (patent pending) and asked you, gentle listener, to supply us with talking points. You did a great job, except when you asked us to compare Iowa to the state of American politics. That shit would have gotten us killed. Learn more about your ad choices.

I just feel like we are surrounded in this world by bullshit.
So how can you know what's real and what's not?
Science versus, that's how.
We answer questions like,
does anti-aging skin care actually work?
And what is your true personality type?
And to answer these questions, we don't use opinions.
We dive into the scientific studies,
talk to the experts, and put it in a podcast that I know you are going to love.
Listen to science verses on Spotify.
welcome to the shutdown forecast which only took like 10 minutes to get started because my computer was possessed
because that's typical on the greatest internet college football podcast i'm spencer hall
broadcasting for some reason in the middle of his living room and who's hey oh do i hear other
people yeah i like to imagine this is how you like i like to imagine this is how you drive a car
that you get the keys and you're just like mashing them against the door you're like god damn
stupid car can't get in and again just every time learn nothing at least i live somewhere where
i can have a car wow with the heat off the top rope down i mean you know it could be i could
have voluntarily chosen to live in you know a cube but no i chose to live in an expensive wasteful house
with an expensive wasteful car
like a real American
Ryan so take that
this 10 gallon hat is filled with ice cream
and
gasoline because you need it for your
very expensive car
it is it's gods
once a day I go out and dump my hat
into my car
just dump the gasoline right on top of it
it's delicious
bathe my car in gas
I wash my car with it
Just to be sure.
It's like how when you roast a turkey or whatever, juices on the side, you know, you dump them back on top of it.
I mean, I mean, water is to people as gases to cars, and we wash ourselves in water, so.
Mm-hmm.
My car is 78% gas.
That's also why at the gas station it's in a hose form.
Like, that's basically so you can spray your car down.
Mm-hmm.
washing my car with gas
to own the limbs
That's what I'm doing
It's great on the interior too
It's good for
Good for the upholstery
It cleans it, it cleans it gives it a sheen
It does that
It does that
Definitely
This is how a Georgia fan
Is gonna get away with
With burning the rambling wreck
Right
I was just trying to wash it
With gasoline
It's America's water
You heard him
It's a wreck
It was totaled anyway
You can't sue
it's true it's right there in the name
be false advertising if it was
drivable or had value your honor
that's a nuisance
now if you'll excuse me
I have to go
I have to go put a TV on the back of my Hummer
and show people the Rose Bowl
and then
and then drive it around
with the advertise here
like that isn't
like that isn't the most horrifying
and dangerous thing ever
it could be worse
you could be washing the Hummer and gasoline
it could be on the front
is it going to be strapped to the windshield, right?
He could be on the front.
The Hummers barrel down on you with, yeah.
Come to Ed Boyle's Honda for a car that's not this Hummer.
Oh shit, I better do it.
If you're even for a second unclear what we're talking about, remember there was a Georgia fan
who had a yellow H2, I believe, with a full flat screen TV on the back driving around Atlanta,
showing the Rose Bowl between Georgia and Oklahoma,
which we're duty-bound to say as SEC Hawks that, yeah, Georgia won that.
They did.
Then they went to the national playoff title game, whatever, the college football playoff
title game.
And how's that go for them?
Well, the SEC won that one, too.
Yep.
They led most of it.
They led a lot of it.
They have the lead.
They were winning.
That's true.
They were ahead or tied for at the start of every play in the game.
Champions in most of regulation.
Sure, and time is a human construct.
So really, they lost to humans and not to the Lord.
That is true.
Gentlemen, this is a slow week again because we're stuck here in the spring.
And there's really not a lot going on.
Like, seriously, if you go and look at like,
oh man what's coming down the college football wire nothing you can sum it up with this UCF and Bama's
ADs are talking women's in IT shit at each other yeah yeah that's that's how that's how desperate
this is right because this is you know the season of Nance the portion of the calendar that belongs
to Jim Nance right you have the NFL playoffs which are followed up by March Madness
which is followed up by the Masters at no point
is Jim Nance any more powerful than it is this year peaking at the Masters
where like the great receiver like the cerebro to his professor X he has magnified
and made 20 times more powerful than any other Caucasian in his caucasity by
just soaking up all of that tradition I hope there's another event he calls like that we don't
like it's like oh he does the French adult film awards wow did not know that yeah
He does the week before the Masters.
If you had to make up a fictional name for the French Adult Film Awards, what would it be?
The parapleuie.
Alternatively, when is the point in the sports calendar when Jim Nance's powers are at their lowest?
Let's see.
It would have to be, let's see, probably.
NBA finals.
That's pretty low.
It's got to be pretty far away from the Masters.
and that's only a couple months ago.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're thinking of it the wrong way.
That's so far until the next masters.
Because, you know, yeah, we haven't even planned the dinner yet.
What it is is he blows his load at the Masters,
and then he starts back at zero and has to build toward the next Masters.
He is like the Phoenix.
Once he reaches peak powers, he burst into flame and then must be reborn.
So immediately after the Masters, he's taken out on a stretcher.
with the mayonnaise
with the mayonnaise IV
right
they have to
they have to put him
in some sort of
stasis for a while
right
rubbing the pimento
paddles
against his chest
clear
apply it directly
to the shirt
his chest
rejects it
never touch his skin
can't touch
a straight man's skin
he'll freak out
fill the back to take
with just for men
exactly
the custom
the custom oxfords
are part of his bio
now
that's just part of his biome you just have to put him in there he's more joseph a bank than man
like like he would be caught dead in that mismeasured trash ryan
ryan that's a clothing you and i can afford please come on please sorry good god have some
respect for the man they'll arrest you if you step into the master's club he does he does
were Joseph A banked to the pair of ploys, though, just to be clear.
Well, you know, it's a more casual event.
That would be great if, like, Nance did disappear for three months and we find him on the other
side of the world calling an entire, you're like, man, who's calling this free Lanko West Indies
cricket match?
Dear God!
It'd be like something real wild.
It'd be like Sevens rugby or something, but you're like, this is so soothing for some reason.
Wait, damn it.
Lance, you did it again.
He's calling an eye gouging unlike any other.
Yeah.
He's calling Tonga, South Africa?
What?
Yeah, it's just on the other side of the world
with like a slightly adopted
Aussie accent, right?
Because he's now just like, that's his like
healing mode. He has to go to the other side of the world.
And then he comes back and slowly grows into strength
until he reaches his like March Madness Masters peak again.
Right? And in the meantime, I don't know.
He's just chilling out at like men's clubs.
I don't know who goes to men's clubs anymore, right?
like the men's club of the men's club of Chicago
Nance is just there except in awards
That's all he does
Just goes around gets a rubber chicken gets an award
Gets a tailored shirt and goes
You know
I like guys who do things the right way
Holy shit
It's amazing
The ghost of Curly Lambeau
punched me in the solar plexus the other day
Why don't we talk about
Old, old guys
Whole room full guys
It's a great thing.
So our list of topics, they're rather scanty.
Fortunately, Ryan has decided on the solution for that.
Ryan, would you tell them about our advanced hacking technology?
So two off-seasons ago, we employed the use of randomizer technology, TM, TM, to decide which teams we were going to preview when.
we decided to expand on randomizer technology and use it for deep off-season studies.
And we foolishly turned that technology over to you, our listeners.
We let you give us one, if you wanted, non-sports, non-football thing to talk about, and one football thing to talk about.
And we let the computer do its thing.
We do have veto power.
so some of these we're not going to talk about the one somebody wants to know about emo bands
Spencer do you have anything to say about emo bands no Jason do you have anything to say about
emo bands um I like Kanye's emo album there we go that's the segment on emo bands we're sorry but
this same person at Eric Seeds on Twitter also wants us to talk about skip holts succeeding
Nick Saban at Alabama.
We can talk, absolutely.
The randomizer says we should talk about it,
so we will, unless we don't want to.
No, I'm going to pick that one up.
Let's pick, I mean, I'm going to pick that up.
You put it down, Eric, we're going to pick it up.
You want to talk about Skip Holtz's Nick Saban's successor?
Oh, I'm all too happy to do that.
I actually think kind of an okay idea, not the best idea,
but for a successor, what you want is a flunky.
You want somebody who's going to be replaceable.
You want somebody who's been fired before.
want somebody who really doesn't have a whole lot to lose in this, because typically when
somebody is replacing a legend and they hire somebody who is, I don't know, first-time person
or somebody who's coming in from outside of the usual circle of things, people tend to get
a little uneasy. They tend to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're clearly not that guy. If you hire Skip
Holtz, we know what the deal is, right? Has he been fired before? Yeah, buddy. He's been fired
big time. A couple of times. Has he turned programs around theoretically so that it's, I don't know,
is it maybe possible that he could do a decent job for a couple of years? Sure. Although,
would you like to make a list of the coaches who could do a pretty good job for like two years
after Nick Saban retires just with that talent and just kind of hitting autopilot? That's a pretty
long list. So yeah, I don't know. It's a terrible idea, but it's a workable, terrible idea. Because
when you get rid of him, it's no loss.
You knew that it was going to happen.
Let's compare them side by side.
Nick Saban succeeded at an underachieving Louisiana program before he took the Bama job.
Skip Holtz, same thing.
Check, check.
Nick Sabin, deep big 10 roots.
Skip Holtz, coached at Yukon, basically the same thing.
Like, Nick Sabin, no meaningful NFL success.
Skip Holtz.
Never coached in the NFL at all, in some ways better, arguably wasn't tempted.
Skip Holtz has never been tempted by the Siren song of the NFL.
Nick Saban, he's a weaker man.
So I think really in some weird way, you're leveling up.
Let's also keep in mind that both of these coaches Sabin and Holtz are sons of men named Lou.
So technically, technically, technically, technically, Nick Sabin's dad was
Nicholas Lou Saban, and technically Nick Saban's name is Nicholas Lou Saban, Jr.
The other Lou Saban is a, the Lou Saban, who is a coach, is considered a second cousin, according to the wiki.
Ah.
But both sons of men named Lou, I stand by my statement.
That's your debut novel, a Cormick-McCarthy-esque ramble through the spine of the Appalachians, as told through football, starvation, and post-devil.
apocalyptic visions, that would be Sons of Men Name Lou by Jason Kirk, available.
Is that a penguin?
Don't you get in with Harcorp?
With Lou anywhere in their name.
Sons of Lunarkey.
There it is.
Signs of,
I'm learning, I'm learning things tonight.
I did not, I did not know that his middle name was also Lou.
That's what Wiki says, and it's never wrong.
And Skip Holtz's first name is Lou.
And his middle name is Skip.
No, we've talked about this.
His middle name is Leo because he could have been L.L. Holtz.
L.L. Holtz.
The most uncomfortable brand of men's clothing available on the market today.
L.L. Holtz.
The only rapper Jim Nance likes.
L.L. Holtz.
The only rapper.
L.L. Warm Holtz.
Oh, God.
Wormholtz would be an amazing name.
L. L. Wormholt.
Wormholtz
You know, old wormholes
It's good
He'd be like the Strength and Conditioning Coach
That you hired before
That actually knew what Strength and Conditioning was, right?
Like Strength and Conditioning Tips of the 1950s, right?
Rub a poultice on it.
What's the poultice made of?
Chewing tobacco plaster newspaper.
Just put it right there on the bullet wound.
It'll pull it right out.
Imagine how good coach Wormhole would be at recruiting.
It's like, oh, there's this five star in California
but that's pretty far from a...
Not for Coach Wormhole.
He'll just bend space time and he'll be there in three seconds.
It'll freak the kid out.
Oh, he committed to USC.
In one reality, he did.
Not this one.
I mean,
here comes Coach Wormhole and Matthew McConaughey.
There's a possibility, though, that you mess up.
You come back and they recruit is 48 years old, right?
No.
Oh, yeah.
You got to figure it out.
Yeah.
Yeah, that happens at Bama.
You know, every time when Bama has some linebacker,
We're like, man, he looks like he has three kids.
That's the wormhole.
Did we figure this out?
Is this how a saving thing?
That's how he's doing it.
Skip Holtz will do it better.
I'm sorry.
It's the original A. Sean Robinson.
You're like, man, that guy looks like somebody I knew in Philly in 1981.
That was a nine-year-old that they took through the wormhole.
He just stayed in there a little too long.
Nick Sabin's going back in time to meet people who made the wrong.
decisions about their athletic career right like in some past in 1982 a sean robinson is like
about to go you know i love football but i really want to serve my country and join the army
and nick saybans like you need to rethink that sun oh my god quantum toss sweep that's what we
call you can come with me to the year 2013 i'm going to make amazing things happen for you
will i serve my country in a way you're a magical man is that why you're short
Yes, all magical men are short.
In the future, everyone is my size, so you'll look even bigger.
You can take everyone's food.
All right, I want to try something.
Spencer, I want you to pick a college football media member based in the Southeast of your choice.
I want you to pick that person in your head right now, okay?
Okay, okay.
Now, I'm going to give you this scenario, and you're going to tell me,
your reaction to it as that media member, okay?
Okay.
All right, it's, let's say it's July.
Emergency press conference at the University of Alabama.
Nick Saban announces he's stepping down for, you know, family reasons or whatever, the Bob Stoops thing.
And Skip Holtz is getting the job.
Go.
Oh, hello, this is Marty Smith, ESPN, and I'm on this story like a spider monkey.
Just on it.
That'd be, that'd be, Marty Smith wouldn't even be at the podium.
asking questions, right? He would, like, be in the pocket. He would be on the back, right?
Like, tell us a little more, Skip. Just got there. What'd you do? Crawled, crawled the vents of
the building and just repelled down onto his back. I've interspaced myself into Skibholtz's body.
That's what he would. He would have interspaced into it, right? Like, I got to tell you,
for all the concerned fans here, the man's gall bladder is like cleaner than a Roman bath. It's amazing.
So, yeah, that's, that, that would be who it would be, Marty Smith, and he would be actually inside
Skip Holtz giving updates on his health and conditions.
Checking his plaque.
Like heart teeth.
Ant Man.
Yes, exactly like Ant Man.
First thing I noticed about this guy, he's got stones.
I mean, kidney stones.
Those are going to hurt.
He's going to have to pass.
That's right, Bama fans.
He's going to have to pass.
Ooh, passing.
That sounds uncomfortable.
Indeed, it does.
Yeah, passing won't win a championship.
Oh, away.
Oh, way.
Oh, way.
But, yeah, that would be.
that would be my guess as to
how they would react
to a skipholz. By the way, like
you know, the way that, I don't know if you've seen
the death of Stalin. It's like a movie
coming out about, you know, when Stalin finally kicked it
and how terrifying that was for everybody.
At least like, you know,
outs inside the Soviet Union.
The,
I think that's how people would love to report
on like Nick Savans' Health in Alabama if you could,
right? How's his teeth?
His teeth are flawless.
They're powerful.
They're ready to
tear into victory yet again. Like, that's how people would follow. Like, that's why Marty Smith could
go inner space if you wanted to on skip hold. I'm trying to remember, all right, do you remember
who all of the coaches were the last time Alabama, in the SEC, that is, the last time Alabama did
not have Nick Saban as the head coach. So this would have been the 2006 regular season. Yes.
How many, how many you think you can do off the dome here? I, I,
I bet you can get at least 11.
Okay.
So what am I answering again, the coaches that they face?
Yeah, just how many coaches?
Who were the coaches in the SEC in 2006 the last time that there was a non-Nick Saban in the Alabama coach's chair?
Okay.
And I get first shot at it, not Jason?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead and ping pong it, yep.
Okay.
Yeah, we'll ping pong it just to see if Jason.
Jason, I'll go first.
Urban Meyer, right?
Yeah.
Phil Fulmer
Correct
Man, that feels so long ago
So long ago
Why, he's still in charge of Tennessee
Yeah
Let's see, 2006
Steve Spurier
Correct
Mark Wright
Correct
Mm-hmm
Let's see
2006
Rich Brooks
Yes, very good
Less Miles
Mm-hmm
Jason's picking off the easy fruit.
I respect it.
No, no, no.
He's getting the good ones.
That's fine.
Let's see.
Houston Dale Nut.
Where, though?
You need to where.
Man, this is so close to, like, the home of Los Chronicus.
But I believe in 2006, you're still at Arkansas, correct?
That is correct.
All right.
Ed Ogeron.
I was going to say, we just filled in another one, right?
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Are we in the Sylvester Croom phase at Mississippi State there?
Sylvester Crom goes three and nine this year.
That's Mississippi State.
Mm-hmm, correct.
Go ahead, Jason.
So I believe Vanderbilt still had a program at the time.
Was this OG Bobby Johnson?
This was Bobby Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
Tommy Tuberville?
Tommy Tuberville.
I believe you all have named all.
Yeah, I think that's all of them, with the exception of Alabama's head coach.
Mike Shula, but who coached the bowl game, bum, bum, bum.
What for Mike?
Oh, that would be Joe Kines.
Yep, there you go.
Joe Kines, the father of the inside trout himself.
Joe Kahn's.
Lost the Independence Bowl.
Um, let's go to the next randomizer topic.
I'm going to go with this one.
This is from Calvin.
We need a randomizer sound of fake.
Yeah, we'll, yeah, we'll add it all in post.
Speaking of, we're going to get back to, um, press your luck.
But we'll talk about that.
I'm probably on another podcast.
What's the dumbest thing your kids did this past week?
Ooh, well, that's Jason's kid's pretty smart.
She doesn't do a lot of, she doesn't do a lot of dumb.
thing. So your answer's, your answer's
going to suck because she's smart and she's a girl.
Yeah.
Well, no, I want to, I want to explore
that. What is, so, like, accepting
that Jason's daughter is great,
what's the dumbest thing she did in
recent memory? I'm not being a smart
ass by delaying. I'm just, you know,
like, girls are just, like,
they're, like, already humans.
Meanwhile, Spencer's
on page 12, listing
all his stuff.
Like, she's just, she's just already, uh, she's already a human and boys are, they're wild animals until they're about 97.
Um, they just get tired.
Yeah.
I mean, um, okay.
I mean, it's really stupid stuff. Like, I had to remind her to feed her a rabbit. You know what I mean? It's like stupid shit like that.
Yeah, that's pretty minor. Yeah. I'm, I'm excused because I have an 18 month old.
and at that age the problem
she pooped the tub didn't she
she has not pooped the tub in the last week
if you make me stretch it beyond that yes she pooped in the tub okay
yeah no that's that's fine that's that's pretty stupid
yeah that said she's the problem with real little kids is that
the quote unquote dumb things they do are actually very smart
they're just incredibly dangerous it's the things that you're like oh you
learned how to turn on the oven by yourself
that's very like you're showing problem solving an initiative and you're also going to burn your hand off so dumb is not the right thing there it's more just like what's the closest they came to death so looking at this list of things i have compiled that i forgot happened um over the past week because i write down the things that my kids say and i write down the things that they do that i find amusing all too often these are things that are dumb or just ill advised or or ignorant you know
like kids don't know you have to teach them to be civilized particularly boys they don't they don't
understand these things um let's see at 3 a.m. my son woke up up and said dad what my toe hurts
make me up at 3 at 3 a.m and said my toe hurts and I was like well did you hurt it and goes
no no no no no it just hurts
and I asked him in the morning
hey
does your toe still hurt
and he goes what are you talking about
it's like you woke me up last night
and said your toe hurts he's like I didn't do that
you're nuts
your children are waging
psychological war on you
and they're totally winning
oh yeah
and then for the younger one
that's easier when we
we were going into a bathroom where he said wisely with no prompting whatsoever,
oh, I got to go to the bathroom, because I guess it just hit him all at once.
Sponsored by Chipotle.
He just had to go, so we ran to the bathroom, and he dropped his pants, which is funny enough.
I'm like, you don't have to do that yet running across the bathroom and tried to back his butt up to a urinal to poop in it.
And I had to, I had to, I had to move real fast to stop this from happening.
Was, was any part of you like, let's let this play out?
No, no, no.
Not a single part of me because I didn't want this to A,
and this is why I know you don't have boys,
you don't want this to happen again.
And Casey's like, you know, that was refreshing.
I want to do that again at the next bathroom.
That was easier.
I prefer that method.
He'd do it too.
That's the thing.
He's not, you know, he's my child.
He's like, I really don't care how you did it.
This is working for me, even if it's dumb.
I'm outdoorsy now.
That's what that means.
I'm social.
Some of you go behind a door to do this, but I like to meet new people.
I'm not ashamed.
Yeah.
Some of you are afraid to be primates.
I like to be aware of my surroundings.
I don't like to give my enemy a wall to hide behind behind.
I don't turn my back to the.
door because I was smart.
Also, all that water's there.
You get the flush.
Boom.
Self-cleaning oven right there.
It's just all.
So, yeah, I wanted to prevent that from happening and prevent the employee who has to be told.
Because I have been on that end of the transaction as a service employee at one point in my life.
I wanted to be the one.
I don't want to be the one who is the cause of, oh, hey, hey, listen.
I never believed this, but someone pooped in one of the urinals and, you know, you got to clean it up.
I don't want to be that guy.
I don't want to spread that evil for it because, you know, I worked in a movie theater.
People get very creative.
There's a lot of license being taken with the way that things are used at a movie theater.
And I didn't want to be the cause of that in any respect.
So we immediately trundled him into a bathroom where he used it the way the queen and king intended good fine English plumbing to be used.
Hell yes.
Roll time.
Yeah, I think it's important that everyone work in a service, retail, whatever kind of job at some point
and have to clean a public bathroom once in your life because just once, just once,
you'll have so much respect for people who work actual jobs that any time you go into any facility whatsoever,
you treat it with the utmost respect.
Like, you know, in the movies where there's a scene where somebody's like,
how did you shit on the root on the ceiling that's real i've seen that i've had to deal with that
so like if you haven't you need to go get actual job just for one day you know and and and learn what
it's like out here and then you know if everyone does that the world will be a better place
if everyone has to clean shit off the ceiling just once and you worked at publics where
yeah i worked i worked at the nice grocery store so you imagine what those folks at fucking ingles
are dealing with
yeah i mean i was at publics two weeks ago or so and i had to take again another child to the bathroom who suddenly had to go because they always have to go at places where i'm not real sure if the bathroom is clean right their timing is impeccable if you go past like if you go past like the nice shiny shiny this is a rule with children if you go past the really nice shiny QT or the racetrack right and the one that's got thousands of pumps and lights and 500 shiny you're a
holes for you know one for every man who wants to saddle in right you can you can shit in them we
have so many that's right we wouldn't even find it for days that's how long like once we start
once we finish cleaning them we got to go back and start it's like the golden gate bridge right
so they'll pass that right they're like no I don't have to go and then if you find like like
murals fossilized starving Marvin with the bathroom when you open the bathroom when you open the door
you immediately smell ammonia and why
like subsidized American like why corn subsidies are wrong right
like if you open it up and you're like oh American agriculture policy is horrible
right like that kind of bathroom where the not only is the bathroom outside it's behind
it's in an alley the key to get in they they hand you a wooden block and it's like
not entirely it's got a metal door it's like it's like a it's like a it's like a
a tetris block you don't want it's like oh that one it's a block that
It's not metal.
It's organic.
Like someone wipe their ass and then touch this wooden object that you're now holding.
It might have been metal once, but it's not anymore.
It's usually the bathroom that has my favorite combination,
which is the men's bathroom with the freestanding urinal and toilet two inches away.
So presumably, if you and your friend both had an emergency,
you could go in and have the worst, most awkward two minutes of your life
so that you could pee right by your friend's head
who is presumably shitting painfully next to you.
So you can shit in the urinal and puke in the toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, isn't that the, like, isn't that the rowboat setting, right?
Like, that's got to be in front of you.
Yeah, we call that the crashing of the Hindenburg.
So my kid picks this one, right?
In this case, it is the public's bathroom that I'm not sure is clean at the not-so-nice public.
So we go in and I hear somebody going through something horrible and emotionally scarring and you're like a stall, two stalls away.
And at one point, while my kid's going, what is wrong with that man?
And you're like, please don't say this out loud.
I don't want to have this experience.
You need to stop asking this question right now.
I will tell you anything you want to hear about.
Do you want to talk about, do you want to talk about, do you want to talk about how mommy, daddy killed a guy once?
What?
Like, just anything to get this child's mind off of what's happening, right?
And the guy goes, which is just awful.
Like, that's bad because the kid's not going to turn that down, right?
The kid's like, is he in trouble?
Dad, Dad, Ballou needs help.
Just, no, just stop.
You're like, I've seen this episode of Paul Patrol.
We need to call the crew.
Like, yeah, like, you're just like, no, please God, just no.
Here, I'll tell you, do you want a toy?
I'll buy you anything you want.
Do you want a gun?
You're eight.
Let's get you a gun.
That'd be great.
Let's get you a firearm.
Wouldn't that be exciting?
Dad, I think he's in pain.
And you're just like, I don't want this entire experience to be happening right now.
And I think I've got him almost out of there and done.
And we're about to like wash hands and get out of there.
And I hear the guy in the stall go, I just wish it would end.
He's like, what is he?
What?
And I'm just, God.
Just, please, no.
Just at that point, you just pick the child up bodily and run out of there before, I don't know.
There's a dialogue between the door, between this man who's going through the seventh level of, like, Dante's Inferno passing through his gastroattestinal system.
And my very curious child who wants to understand everything that's happening, right?
Dad, we got to get in there.
We've talked about kids and pooping for like 10 minutes.
This is amazing.
Just be like, son, we're going to go home and watch Alien.
And then you're going to learn that, no, we don't go in there.
Dad, you cause a diversion.
I'll crawl under the door.
You missed a teachable moment opportunity here.
Because when that's happening, and you're just like, just don't talk about it.
No, please don't acknowledge.
Just look him dead in the eye and be like, he didn't listen to his mother.
His mother told him to clean up his toys, and he didn't.
Well, yeah, but then if I'd said that in the room, he'd be like,
You don't know my mother.
My room is spotless.
She's a lovely woman.
Who's your mama?
Like kids would do that, right?
They would.
Like if Jason comes out of the lake on Friday the 13th and says,
this is all my mother's fault,
a kid would be like, tell me about it.
I want to hear about that.
That'd be great.
Before we stop talking about children and feces,
I do want to ask if you two have ever encountered the,
subset of human male, who is a father or is about to be a father, who says the following,
I don't change diapers.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Who are these assholes?
Who are these unrepentant scumbags?
Where do they come from?
Weeklings.
There's this breed of masculinity where it's based around being as delicate as you can, you know?
like it's manly to be like
I can't handle the stink
like if you're a tough guy
you're like nah
that doesn't bother me break it on
do your worst kid you know I don't care
eat green beans all day I don't care
emergency tracheotomy that's
women's work
something gross and nasty
not me
I only deal with
lilac lilacs and periwinkles
I don't know that's that brand of being a dude
where it involves doing as little cool as possible,
like doing as few good things as possible, right?
Like, there's a brand of dude who's like,
when you're like, oh, yeah, man, I don't know.
I go to the gym.
The gym?
Yeah, I don't know who does that.
This is the Han Solo who doesn't come back to the death star.
He's like, yeah, I got paid.
Imagine how different that movie would be.
well that's the end of the show
final 20 minutes
is just Han paying debts
it just flies back to Java
pays them off turns on TV
oh para pluis are on I love these
turns on TV and sees
oh plants are blowing up left and right
at least this one isn't
that'd be awesome
then the next two movies are just Han making money
making money
and like that's it
just the next like
like that's it
there's no challenge
whatsoever you're just like
man I didn't know
if Han was going to pull off
that lucrative swindle
but he did
he goes legit
he becomes a courier
and so
you know who ends up
best in all this
lando
lando's still just like
city administrator
doing fine
got his
low bot friend
they're just hanging out
nobody's getting dismembered
nobody's crashing the party
Oh man, Landau's life is so much better
I always imagine Lobot is like the ditty of his era
Right
He's just standing behind Lando like
Yeah
Uh huh
Let's hear it
Come on
Let me feel the beat
presses a couple of buttons in his ear
Murder somebody
Shined at it
Ha ha ha ha
Are we going to
We're going to tackle another random
We can decide to accept
or deny the topic that the randomizer is given us?
Yeah, the randomizer is not perfect.
No.
So I was going to go through, let's see, man buns and why they are garbage.
I kind of want to like half pick this one up and just say,
I don't have no problem with any of your hairstyles.
I have definite opinions about facial hair.
However, if the man bun is what makes you work and it gets like hair out of your eyes
and that's your thing, and you have long, beautiful hair,
which you know if you have long beautiful hair out there men who are listening to this treasure it
enjoy it you know you might not have it forever and if you don't and if you do have it forever
by all means keep it long there's a certain point where you know it's going to really start
working globally but individually is really what you want are you happy with it are you happy with
your man bun can you put on like in football terms really the only drawback to a man bun is whether
your helmet can fit up right that's it otherwise i have no problem yeah i think
the world is plenty full of opinions on man buns i i i don't i don't need to have one they're
not white dudes with dreads that's the important thing every man think of it that way and your
perspective will totally change every man you see with a man bun is a white dude who doesn't
have dreads and and therefore even if he hasn't taken a path you like he's taken a better
path than he could have so let's celebrate that success he didn't
shit in the urinal. There's only one white man who should ever have dreads. And that is
Troy University's own Bear Woods, the linebacker for Troy who had a big old set of dreadlocks
and is I believe now playing in the CFL. Yeah, he's with he's with the Argonauts. And by the
way, a fine player with the Argonauts. He was an all-star. He's the 29th Avenger. And yes,
He's the 29th. He kind of looks like the 29th Avenger, actually.
Welcome to the Avengers.
He kind of looks like Sabretooth. If Sabretooth went through like a serious like
stoner period. The Canadian Avengers.
Like there's all the sub-Avengers, the West Coast Avengers.
Like Canada's Avengers, it's like two guys.
Right. And they take turns because, you know,
your Avenger this week, I got the kids. I'll be Avenger next week.
Cool? Great.
Dude, that's alpha flight.
Alpha flight were the Canadian adventures.
I can't believe I know that.
But yeah.
Idiot.
Idiot.
Just taking up time that I could have devoted to like, I don't know.
Well, no, I'm just frustrated because Jason and I were doing a thing because we knew Godfrey was going to listen and be screaming about it.
But you had to step in and be all comics nerdy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I'm sure Spencer still got something wrong there.
Somewhere in those 10 words of something Godfrey can correct.
Godfriel tweet.
at us about it. I'm not worried.
Folks, if you're out there, tweet at 38
Godfrey to tell him
that
actually do this. Tweet at 38
Godfrey. Ask him what his favorite
part of Black Panther was.
Yeah, he loved it. He has
really strong opinions about it, too.
Yeah, ask him why it's D.C.'s best movie yet.
How about everyone out there tweet
fake Black Panther spoilers at Godfrey?
Yes.
Make them pretty, make them pretty,
outrageous and you know nothing that would have anything to do with actual spoilers what we're
trying to say is our biggest nerd hasn't seen black panther yet because he's been busy in the
wilderness of mississippi but just go ahead and tweet some really stupid fake spoilers don't even
tell him we saying you just you know we'll know it's working when he comes in and and into you know
the company chat like why is everyone doing god damn it everybody's tweeting at me about black
panther and we'll say i don't know why they would do that to you oh man i guess i guess i
it was MgoBlog.
I guess they got you, man.
I think we can, we've processed man buns,
and I feel pretty secure and happy about our answers with that.
The next one to accept or reject would be
how Iowa football is a metaphor for the 2018 USA political climate.
That's from Calvin.
Calvin, I'm going to say now on this, just nah.
No, here we go.
Here we go.
What a punt.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how we make it Iowa.
Punt.
Punt.
All right.
Then let's do this one.
Northwestern is, apparently, I haven't confirmed this is true.
Advertising that they have the best home schedule in the country.
And this is an excuse for when they go like three and nine or something.
That's somebody else's prediction, not mine.
I already got bit very badly by Northwestern predictions last year.
Home schedule for.
The Northwestern Wildcats starts with Duke, followed by Akron, followed by Michigan.
Then you've got Nebraska, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Illinois.
So that's four, four teams that would count as draws, I guess.
That's pretty good.
It's not bad.
It could be worse.
I mean, the stadium would be full four times.
Not of Northwestern fans, but it'll be full four times.
No.
No.
And of the road games, I guess the Michigan State one, or maybe Iowa,
are the only other ones that you might want to rather have as home games.
Yeah, sure, man.
I don't think, well, all right, we can still, how much are,
you guys keep talking.
I'm going to find out how much Northwestern season tickets are going to cost me.
all right in that in the light of in light of moving on and discussing that i do want
three hundred fifteen dollars okay we're back are you kidding that i mean those are for
good seats if i want like nosebleeds god i'm still paying 185 for the for the end zone
you gotta be shitting me so how many so so is that 30 30 in change per ticket yes
Okay, but you do that, and then you sell one to an Ohio State fan when they come through,
and then a Notre Dame fan when they come.
Well, they're already there, but you can recoup that and see that Akron game for free.
Isn't this premise on the idea that it will be hard for those people to get Northwestern tickets?
Yeah, it'll be really hard because imagine you're an Ohio State fan trying to get a Northwestern game.
You can't find a ticket because Ohio State fans already bought them all.
they're already
seasoned ticket
that is a thing
Georgia Tech
that is an actual problem
Georgia fans
take the stadium over
to such a degree
that
they have to try
and find ways
to keep Georgia fans
from buying Georgia Tech
season tickets
how on earth do they do that
I forget
I forget exactly what it is
but math
math test
yeah that's a
it's a I'm not a robot
captcha
I'm not a robot captcha
here
solve this
extremely simple
trigonometry problem
yeah I'm out
it's it's a it's a
capture where you have to click
I am a robot
damn
it's more expensive
to buy Rutgers season tickets
fuck man
that's a harsh life
and I
having been to Rutgers
Stadium no
nope
nope
nope
I do like
all right
I will say this for Rutgers
though on their on their ticket
site
they have you know a menu bar across the top which is like buy tickets and blah-b-de-blah and then for ticket and parking info the number one pull down ticket transfer how-to i appreciate that ruckers is like yep you accidentally bought these and you need to get rid of them how we're here to help we promise there should there should be something like where you know if you give it to a child for their first experience you know
Maybe you get like a tax rebate on that in Jersey.
Yeah, I'm just thinking that's probably actionable as like an act of like at least child neglect to take a child to a Rutgers game.
It's suspicious.
You're definitely going to get a call from a copse if like a seven-year-old comes on.
It's like, mom, a stranger gave me Rutgers tickets.
Be like, wary of him.
I think the only people you should give.
You should give Rutgers tickets to like sociologists, you know, so they can study like, what is this that's happening here?
Let me observe.
There are like 300 people in this building, and 40 of them are trying to kill each other on the field.
Let me just study all this.
We're all fairly decently, like, traveled at this point in terms of watching games in different places, right?
So you more so than me for sure.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
We'll see.
But, you know, what's the worst environment that you've watched a game at, at the college level?
because I know like NFL's got some very bad user experiences but what's the worst place that you've watched a game where you go ah just nah like I mean average out for weather and whether the team sucked or was good because when the team sucks the environment's not exactly the best right so average that out and just go yeah this is like the most lackluster that I've been to um this probably isn't fair but like some of the USF games that I went to when I was younger uh
when they play at uh raymond james the buck stadium like that is that just it feels so
it definitely feels like hey dad said we could borrow the garage
dad said we can have band practice in the basement as long as we don't plug in the amps
that's dismal that's bad you know because i because i mean that's hard to say because
sometimes you go to places and like if the team stinks or if they're going through a hard time
or there was just a bad loss.
Like, I went to Boise, and Boise's fine,
but I went to the game after they lost to Nevada,
right?
The Colin Kaepernick Nevada team that beat them
and screwed up their line at,
I don't know, an outside shot at a national title
or an undefeated season.
Yeah, I went to the week after that,
and those were some very sad, cold people.
Like, very sad, very cold.
I would like to go back because it was a fine experience,
but I got some really, like,
There's just kind of a vibe of like,
disappointment.
So I would like to go back
because that really wasn't completely
ideal. I will,
I know which one is the most overrated.
Oh, God.
Well, and I think you, I think you, I think you,
I think you do too.
If we're,
if we're being super
honest about it.
Yeah. Yeah. And that's Notre Dame.
It's a deeply overrated state experience.
Oh, okay. Interesting. I, that's not where I thought
you were going to go. Um, my nipples are hard.
obviously
but I thought
you were going to say Tennessee
and I thought you were trying to get killed
no no I mean when that's live
that's live Tennessee is a
actual good solid game experience
it can be
it can be Tennessee
but it's still a good stadium experience
right like it's loud
it's everything that you want it to be
right
but it's Notre Dame
Notre Dame is just
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
Like, there's just so much,
there's so much grumpy old Midwesterness involved there.
Like, I went to Michigan,
and Michigan was, like, good.
Michigan was also kind of horrified
because it was that Penn State game
where everyone just forgot how to play offense.
Like, they forgot simple things like,
do we use our hands?
Like, that kind of bad, you know,
like negative offense kind of Big Ten game,
as opposed to the way a negative offense SEC game
works. Yeah, they just weren't happy, but that was still a pretty good game experience when
you sorted out. Notre Dame, I don't know. It's just kind of a confusing experience.
You know, they sit, they don't really yell. There's not a lot of energy. The student section
rules. Everyone else, everyone else, y'all need to get to work. All right, let me ask you this
then. So our co-worker Charlotte Wilder, recent devotee of college football, went to college
at, I think, University of Maine, like, sure, they beat Mississippi. They beat Mississippi State.
Am I getting that right? Yes, they did. They beat Mississippi State in the year that
Sylvester Crum lost his job. She asked, a number of weeks back, like, if she were to go
to one game this season, what game should she pick? And I know I'm putting you on the spot a little
here because you got to know, like, who's playing, who, where, and whatever. But if you were just
to say go to this stadium in this general time frame for this general like where are you sending
somebody like Charlotte to say here is your first here here is the the green circle hill
on the college football ski slope where are we starting well I have to make sure that it's
all right and together but I believe yeah that would be Alabama at LSU
that's where we're starting
yeah no i mean that's what you want one game to go to right
yeah but ryan said it's starting it off starting it off gentle
jennel
well i mean
i mean that's double blacked i'm not saying you have to say like
okay go to a yukon game have fun um
but like bam lSC all right sure
i mean god damn
no man i'm not i'm not in for this beginner stuff
you know what's the what's the worst that's going to happen what if we're talking about like a five loss
LSU by that point do you know how dangerous you this scenario you're sending her into is
even worse what if they're undefeated I feel like Bama LSU was the answer for like three or four
five years there but at this point like LSU fans aren't they just approaching that with like
deep deep dread and I mean what what is it like yeah it'll be loud it'll be on
On Thursday, yeah.
On Thursday, that's the feeling, right?
By Saturday is all that's fixed.
By Saturday, it's like, poo, we got you, sons of bitches.
That's my guess.
Like, if you want to just, you know, I don't know about this easing in thing, you know?
Well, just like, what's a more, like, you've never done this before.
We want to give you a full taste of the experience, but maybe less of, like, a stranger will curse you out and offer you.
an unidentifiable meat product just go just go with um uh alternate universe ls u just go with
wisconsin right that's that's actually a very good choice like it's it's just the it's
it's the wisconsin where they don't eat you yeah let's let's you want to ease you in
we'll give you it like we'll give this why don't you want that very few people actually
get to do right out of region why don't opening weekend this happens this year
Auburn plays at Washington there that's that's a nice that's Pack 12 it's not going to rough you up too bad
it's not going to be too hot it's a beautiful setting beautiful stadium Washington's really good
so and Auburn is Auburn depending on the week could be really good right I don't know how
they transport across country I don't know the food rules on an Auburn
isn't that game here is it here did they come all the way here yeah I think so I always forget
are we doing a neutral site there oh don't do that then yeah
I don't know go to a pack go to a pack 12 game just start off gentle they're not gonna
go to like an organ game go to a wazoo game go to a wazoo game no no what are you doing
go to the peluse don't do that we were joking don't actually go to like arizona state
either because i don't know her man was just there there's no telling what that's what that game's
gonna do i'm gonna laugh my ass off when they win nine games this year you know oh shit
You know, I want them to.
I mean, what will probably happen is that I just see that as like maybe Herm comes out on fire, right?
Like, oh, man, Herm won 10 games.
And then next year it's like, Herm won two games.
Wow.
If Herm wins 10 games, then he's right back in the league.
Pack 12 South Champion.
We did a business.
Look, everybody.
The question here is this.
It'll be our final one tonight.
It'll be the six-week squat every-day program.
that caused that guy to not be able to sleep
or be a person. Oh, my
friends, let me introduce you to one of the
internet's most hilarious
fitness articles of all time.
That would be on
Teen Nation by a guy named Matthew Bertrand
in 2013.
And I will just share with you
a couple of things. This is a squatting
program that he was told to do
by somebody. And let me tell you,
in pursuit of a 600
pound squat,
here's everything that he had to do for this program.
I will happily link this and share you because I'm guaranteed like 30% of you will find
this funny.
That's it.
The 30% of you who find this funny will cry laughing like I read the first time because
I'm a terrible human and I like people who put themselves to extremes that are, I don't
know, we'll just, you can judge for yourself when I start to do this.
You're going to squat every single day doing this plan except Sunday.
I don't know why you bother to do that and then skip Sunday
because it's not going to help you
it's not going to help you recover
it's not, that's just, that's a day of reflection for the pain you're in, right?
Also, you're not allowed to stretch, do any sort of warm up
besides squatting.
You can't foam roll either.
You can't do anything to do this.
I quote, my entire left leg went into a spasm
and I could hardly straighten it,
so I limped when I walked.
Both knees were sore to the touch.
If you blew on them, I'd flinch.
Even sleeping was a nightmare.
I couldn't put my arms in any position that was comfortable.
Looking back, I have no idea why I stuck with the program.
I would put the bar on my back and let it push me down far enough to get depth.
That's it.
My leg never stopped hurting.
I just kept going.
That's, yeah.
Oh, I'll keep going.
going this is amazing it's my favorite it's my favorite ever because this man is an idiot at night at the
time i was doing physical labor so i wound up taking naps on customers couches when they weren't home
so this dude is like breaking and entering basically to do his job just wake home you just get
home and find this guy asleep in your couch and you're like what the fuck dude like comcast guy or
whatever he was doing and he'd be like oh my god his leg's twitching like crazy don't touch
Can you bleed through your skin?
Because it looks like you're bleeding through your skin.
Then looking at a flight of stairs would give me anxiety attacks.
Then here's everything that he said, okay?
Which was in order to do this well.
Because he details it and it's absolutely insane.
The Sunday routine is listed as this.
Lie in bed all day, preferably in fetal position.
that's great that's great week six is called do whatever you want but just keep squatting the tips though are really where this goes from horrifying to the sublime okay the tips for getting through this program stay away from anyone who's been trained to be a chiropractor massage therapist ar t practitioner anything of the sort i had a physiotherapist tell me all the ways i could injure myself i just ignored her and was fine okay buddy stay away from negative
People.
That's how we got to the moon.
People said, oh, that rocket's going to blow up.
We said, shut up.
We're America.
I only told positive people what I was doing.
I only shared my news with idiots.
Be prepared to be in pain all day, every day.
Great.
Go Gators.
Be prepared to realize that pain is protection, and if you stay tight, you'll be fine.
99% of injuries come from someone going loose.
What?
What?
Share to Facebook.
Be prepared to see pain in a whole new light.
Anyway, yeah, I'll share that.
I don't think you should do this.
I would not do it.
I like the part where he says his posture got better,
and he theorizes that like he turned his muscles into a full body cast and they sort of like fixed his back it's very bad signs what i wasn't expecting was the radical change in my posture at 27 i was now an inch taller than i was at 24 my shoulders were pinned back my neck was straight what i think happened was that my muscles basically turned into a quote cast unquote and my spine straightened itself out yeah like rigor mortis
Like you were dead
Alternatively, your soul is trying to rip itself from your body
Get me the fuck out of here
Yeah, he also swears that every other lift went up
Despite the fact that he was just squatting
Which I kind of believe because the body was probably like
Oh God, something different than God
Yeah, so that's how much I want to talk about that
Because yeah, Matthew Bertrand, you're a legend
absolute internet legend
even if you didn't do this
even if you were just like
I'm gonna write some shit up
and see if somebody will do it
these idiots
he's probably a strength coach
at an SEC school
let's see
insanely stupid
demanding doesn't believe
pain exists
um
let's see
like it doesn't
believe in negative people
are asking doctors
about anything
Will Must Champ is hiring
Go Cox
