Hello, gentle listener. It's Ryan Nanny here. I know we usually do a podcast business in the middle of the episode, but we have some time-sensitive stuff from our friends at homefield apparel.com. Did you happen to see at the College Game Day filmed in Bloomington? Did you happen to see Lee Corso sporting a wonderful vintage IU crewneck? Are you paying attention to how good the Hoosiers have been this year? Are you just generally familiar with how good this 1979, Indiana, wetter looks. Well, for the next 48 hours, the time is ticking. I've started timing you right now. You can reserve your very own replica version of this 1979 masterpiece at homefield

apparel.com. You go to the website. You look at the top. You'll see a little, hey, click here, reserve now. Get on it. You can check them out on Twitter and Instagram if you want to see what what this bad boy looks like and what their what the plan is this is very cool stuff but again it is a very limited time offer you're going to pre-order it for the next 48 hours that's it and if you want to get on that uh i strongly recommend you do because sweaters are great you know it's not great regret okay here's the show all right i'm going to start oh you're going to start i'm sorry i'm sorry for laughing. Yeah, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to belittle you in that way. By laughing, I was implying that what you said was funny, which would mean that I was implying that something said by

a right winger was not funny, which was very discriminatory of me against them. Yeah, they've been, they've been really shrill about their demands for equality and diversity. Whoa, whoa, let's watch the sexist language, Holly. Whoa. sexist against right wing women that is that is the group why did you get into drama sir and you're like i just wanted to yell at women i just wanted to do intergender wrestling yeah who's going over that's all i want to know that is that is definitely wrestling logic though when you go what is your objective in the scene you're like i want everyone to know that he's a weak man we got to sell the match at the end of this play that's sunday

At the end of two hours from now. Yeah. I'm going to say cuss words to you while throwing pots and pants. Yes. And you'll have to pay for it. Unlike this free preview of me throwing pots and pants of you. Like Tennessee Williams, coward. You know why?

Only had it solved his issue. No fight scenes. Great wrestling names, though. Tennessee Williams, you son of a bitch, get your ass down here. By the time I'm done with you, you'll be Arkansas Williams. I'm sorry, are you saying you're going to knock him to the left? Bang, bang. We don't go that way.

That's right. You'll have to depend on the kindness of stranger. Somebody in the comments is going to invoke Kane and I already hate you. I love the intentionally drawing a connection as the Trump campaign did, but far be it from us to talk about politics on the show. But the Trump campaign showing off that they have Kane in the show. Undertaker, which most average Americans perceive as, like, tall Oaf and the guy from the sitting up gif. And they intentionally point out that the other side has drax, like, that has like possibly

the most talented action star in the world, like in terms of actual acting ability, like the lovable Dave Batista, who everyone likes. Why would you point that out? Why would you want people to know that the other side has Dave Batista? Which character did you summon from the portals of power? And you're like, ah, a mighty knight, the mayor of Knoxville. You're like, oh, we're fucked. He's going to be no help at all.

That's who you're sending out against Drax the Destroyer. That's her you're trotting forth. You're like, that man's a public servant. You go, so is Dave Batista. Right. Also, Dave Batista delights everyone. He's a Tampanian, noted Tampanian. Mm-hmm.

Tampa's one of Tampa's finest. He is a Tampa tattoo, if I recall correctly. Our other fine Tampanian, Ryan Nanny, is on the injury list today, by the way. He is a literal scratch. Our very own drags. It's in his throat. Yeah. Interesting.

Is he the Drax? Today he is. Because he's not here. Because we can't see him. I get it. That's right. He is very yoked but whimsical. Yes.

By the time, listen, he's threatening that to, look like Mike Hager by the time we get to the live show with split zone duo. What? Again, we will talk more about that in a bit, but he's threatened to show up super jacked. So like, yeah, if you want, if you want some incentive to come to the show, come for those guns, baby. But don't pray for him. He's already too powerful. The tasers have stopped working on Ryan.

At one of our most recent live shows, Felder took a shirt off. So folks, you never know what might happen at this one. We will continue to sexualize the male form. Did anyone ask for this? No. Did they want it in their hearts? What prompted? It's on tape and I already forget.

What prompted Felder to take his shirt off? The building was really hot. Oh, God, it was. And it was that and also, it was that. He was very proud. Half a bottle of liquor. Well, there's that. That was another factor.

There are numerous factors. But he was right in my face. Well, good for you. Inches away. Yeah, how many people get to stand? that close to the David. It literally felt like getting dumped on in a shirts versus skins game. And I am shirts.

Sir, we're speaking of male beauty, you have a very fine bootleggers friend going right now. That is splendid. I did this for a Halloween costume for our show. I was the stranger from Big Lobowski and the rest of my band dressed up as other Big Lobosky characters. Really,

really unique idea from us as a friend group. I'm reusing a costume too this year. don't feel bad. I just got tired. Well, I have a cowboy costume forever now because I did buy nice cowboy stuff for my costume. So I'll just be that for the next 10, 15 years. Right. Just change the mustache each year in your different cowboy. Bingo. Don't be too unique for Halloween, though. Don't be too. Like, don't make it too hard.

I don't know. Why not? Everybody's doing meme costumes this year. I stick to my tried and true aughts formula of taking slutty and appending it to a pop culture character that has zero sexualization whatsoever. I've seen like multiple slutty Gandalfs just this year alone. Like my ultimate, my all-time favorite of this was slutty Lightning McQueen. Mm-hmm. Which. Does that mean like what the cutcha? It's like the hood up or what? I had like, no, I had like a black and red cocktail dress and like a yellow headband and I was slutty Lightning McQueen. That's it. Here comes. Here comes old slutty. The best part of this, by the way, is when I'm going to be asked what you are and you look at them like they've had the

stupidest question on the planet and you're like I'm slutty Lightning McQueen you dumb bitch idiot I'm slutty Alexander Hamilton from the hit show but you just said two things that mean the same thing so tell me you've never seen Hamilton but like not from the musical no I meant from

Hamilton from Holt and Catch Fire that's right Alexander Hamilton from the hit show Mad Men we'll cut that out it's fine Haha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Welcome to the shut down full cast.

He was so happy. He was so pleased with himself. I guess I've never really seen Madman. Maybe that's part of it. No, there's no connection whatsoever. Alexander Hamilton does not appear in either one of those shows. I get it now. That was a banger.

yeah thank you it's back in it's back in the show glad someone appreciates art uh this is the internet's only college football podcast turns out you can do comedy these days that's right that's right just imagine how fucked up it would be if in the middle of modern family there's just Alexander Hamilton rating the fridge in the background just hi what's up guys I hope you guys would he be wearing a jersey that says Hamilton on it how Would you know it's supposed to be him? Matt, is modern family sent in California?

He could have like a Chargers jersey on. Yeah, Chargers jersey. Pantsless in a Chargers jersey. Yeah. That just says Fed. Yeah. I am Spencer Hall. I joined us always by Jason Kirk.

Hi. Holly Anderson and Michael Cerber on the ones and twos. Ryan Annie is a scratch this week. It is the time of year when we are taking rotating sick days. That is right. his melodious pipes are at the moment out of order. Like the idea that our podcast has like a limited supply of sick days and we've got to use them before the year ends or they'll expire, I guess. Yeah.

Listen, you can, we have unlimited. That's it. That's how you know this podcast is a scam because we're like, we have unlimited leave. No, unlimited PTO. Just try taking it. But we can't. Just yes, but we can't. No.

So the three. So the four of us. must go on without Ryan who is I do like that in this scenario though this means we're all like shitty managers Spider-Man pointing at each other yeah we're all denying each other's vacation request you know technically you can

but you know it'd be better if you just because I mean if you're not there I'm going to have to podcast harder and you know I just it's going to interfere with all the nothing I have to do while making three times your salary I guess I can rearrange the schedule By the way

I'm calling into this meeting from the dentist Is your dentist the demon cane God that might have gone a lot differently For several of our career paths If that had been the case You could have fixed him I think Giving him some advice I'm new Washington Post editor Kane

Might as well be Dude okay okay Speaking of which Can I run back the clock four years to this week on the show. Would love it. This is inspired by a Reddit thread. Our Reddit is actually quite robust and incredibly chill for a social media platform.

And I think yesterday they had a thread going of Name Your Favorite Multi-Eisode Run at the show, which is something I had never really thought of before. And maybe it's the time of year, but the first thing that immediately, immediately popped into my head was November 2nd, 4th, 9th, 2020, which was a thousand Pliny's Live in You, which was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius episode, and four seasons total podcasting, sandwiching the 55 minutes of backyard audio we put out for election night 2020. And I just started playing the Pliny episode because, you know, this is, this is the week where scholarship varies, but this is, we are coming right up.

on the time of the anniversary of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, one of our favorite holidays celebrated on the show as the feast of the Pompeii uncles. And I started just kind of listening to the November 2nd, 2020 episode last night as, you know, just backgrowing noise. I'm puttering around. I'm doing laundry. And a few minutes into the episode, I hear a phrase,

this is the hillbilly elegy candle. It smells like bullshit. And I'm like, oh, that's different. Things sure are different now. And then a few minutes later, we come upon a discussion of a newspaper's news and editorial departments fighting in the pages of the newspaper. At this point, it was the Wall Street Journal. A few minutes later, the phrase, unfortunately, Texas is back. And then a few minutes after that, we had a segment where Jason

was going back, was going back five, ten years. Looking at the last time, we had teams with hundred yard disparities on the losing side, where the loser was gaining hundreds more yards than the winner. And then also somewhere in there, we were celebrating the arrival of a fourth string Georgia quarterback named Stetson Bennett, who was just about to show the league what he could do. Wow. It's the chosen one. And y'all, I've kind of come out the other side of this in, I don't want to say I'm unstuck in space and time, but I'm feeling really disoriented and it's led me to a confession. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint all of you. Yes.

Because I know that we have, this is something that we have stood by all season long. You know, this is, this is one of the pillars of our philosophy and I have to live my truth. I no longer believe that it is week 10. I can't believe it's week 10. I mean I can't believe it's week 10. I have lost belief that it is week 10. I am untethered from the notion that it is week 10. So that would be what, 208 weeks since then?

So is it really week 218 of 2020? See, you see the problem. Yeah. I'm floating behind a bookcase screaming. Trying to spell out cayots in the dust. and her holler. For my daughter, Ray Ray Colquit, Manning. In her holler.

Hey man, somewhere out there, she's sitting up a tent. You need to go find her. That old gal, she's out there somewhere. And good for her. I think she's in that ravine behind the Dollar General. Well, hell. If she's that far out there, she don't want you coming after her. Men would rather leave their time traveling 108-year-old daughter and jet

thousands of light years across the system to find weird-haired Anna Hathaway instead of going to therapy. Just Matthew McConaughey getting into like an old Dodge Ram driving out of the space station. Ammo cup full of like spent 22 shells. Dude, there, that's the, that's the meme we should have put on top of the dude in the corner by himself over the weekend. That's Anne Hathaway down there on her new Earth planet. And everybody else is up in the solar system.

So Jason's pinpointed it, you think it's week 218. I mean, according to Holly's theory, that would be... The math checks out. The math, the science holds, given the original premise. Also in our November episode of 1,000 Pliny's living in you, we were remarking that teams could do anything if they had Bo Nix. It seems to be the case. Yeah.

Seems to be the case at all levels. Or have we possibly looped back in the great snail that slimes its way across the turtle shell that holds the universe? And we are now, like we've got some transparency between, we got some thinning of the worlds. I was going to propose we have loopered ourselves. Yeah. I think that's entirely possible. I think maybe this is an auraboros kind of situation where it's just sort of catching up in like variations. So for instance, we're watching the NFL.

So it's, you got a snake treading on itself? Yeah. That's not, I don't have a flag for that. It's, it's not please tread on me. It's not don't tread on me. It's the snake will tread. Snake going tread. Snake going tread.

I'm going to get me a tattoo. Oh, by the way, lest you think this is an isolated incident. Two episodes before this episode in 2020 is an episode titled, Indiana is going to win the football game. Yeah, we're goddamn right. We were absolutely correct. Right and early. this is this is impressive to me because we get to watch everyone go through the bow nick cycle which is every Saturday or every Sunday I listen to people go oh god he's awful Broncos win 1815

and this stepson minute cycle is starting up yeah yeah which is you know that guy he's got a little something to him he's got a little something to him that lad mcconkey with the chargers man oh my god so what I'm hearing is there will be an event within the next couple weeks on par with four seasons total landscaping i really think there'll be something that stupid because um if this particular that's a high bar that's such a high bar if the fact that rudy juliani probably won't be involved probably i mean he really might be he's still in the house he was at the he was at the he was at the he was at the nazi rally where you can't do comedy anymore Ah, so this might be in play.

Yeah. What else? Rudy got cooked up this time. Maybe Rudy's going to get up there and do jokes. Knock knock, who's there? Bring comedy back. Knock, knock, who's there? The Reichstag fire.

I am, I'm breathless with anticipation for what? The next two weeks hold for all of us. Fuck. whee All you hash is bound to lose This is accurate This is accurate It's almost like

Bating fascism Back into the dirt Knocking its ass in the dust Where it belongs It's not a one-time job Huh Hmm Well remember

Not a loser Until you blame somebody else You should check out Check out Jason's watch grid by the way those of you listening at home if you haven't broke his whole foot off in it i mean on the subject of fashion fascism you know re-emerging again and again it's true ohio state is going to play another football game just you know just because they lose once it doesn't mean they're done playing they will return they will try again and you yeah ryan they've been losing once for a long time now

and you keep seeing what happens one is never enough do you think if ryan Ryan Day was arrested for something he did on the sideline that it would change his public image adequately enough to get them off. Like if he pulled a Woody Hayes level fit. Yeah. Oh, who was it who there's, have you guys seen that commercial? I think it's in Wisconsin or it's it's some county sheriff in Wisconsin or something.

No, it's Tammy Baldwin's race, isn't it, Spencer? Yes. Where there's a carpet bagger from California running against Tammy Baldwin and Wisconsin. and the ad is just a beer pitcher being filled because this lunatic apparently wants to ban beer sales in Wisconsin. Yeah, yeah, in Wisconsin. Yeah, server looks so stricken right now. But I think, no, I, I, I do to him.

No, but in, so listen, in the comment, this ad is land, this ad lands with a resounding thump because this guy fucking sucks, right? And that, like, halfway down in the comments, there's this one dude who's like, this guy has got to get a DUI to save this campaign. Eric, the guy's name is Eric Hopeed. He was born in Wisconsin. He made his money in California. So naturally the ad shows him with like a, the ad's very funny when it's like, this guy who's from California and it shows him wearing a cowboy hat so that, you know, presumably any Wisconsin voter would be like, yeah, get a load of this, jack off.

Not wearing a toboggan like a normal person. He doesn't even know which freaking costume to wear. Yeah, this guy. I bet he doesn't even own a hoodie. Yeah, like that it's a. great ad because I did read the comments and the comments are like worse and better for him because they don't specific it's not like he's like oh yeah we should have prohibition back um he has some he has some weird he wants exceptions in there for beer that you've brewed yourself and I'm like

oh so you only want them to have terrible beer yeah like it's not too far from prohibition but he makes what I think up by the brandy lobby that's the only thing I could think of big brandy big brandy with their thumb all in the power in Wisconsin he in that ad or in that discussion though he goes like he makes what i think is the thing that's most damning of all where and they don't even quote it in the ad he's like wow you know alcohol has a lot of like you know bad social effects like he says something that's arguably true but if they put it in the ad he broke into the wrong goddamn rec room to make this point yeah exactly what are you saying about booze i think like the way to make this point is you

got to be half drunk and then you make the point right you got it right you got to mean him halfway. You gotta be like, hey, we're gonna do an interview about how we should have more restrictions on alcohol, but I want to clarify

Eric O'Boh's fucking glassed right now. Having said that, I think some of you, drunk, just to drink a little bit less. I think women should only be allowed

to drive buggies and then only when they're topless. Just go. Yeah. This guy gets it. I remember when Howard Dean got run out of

public life for making a squeal? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was, that was wild. That was before comedy was, was illegal. Back, yeah, that was back when, that was back when, that was back when people could tell jokes. You were allowed to tell jokes about a guy screaming so much that he wasn't allowed to scream. Or, or comedy was, comedy was legal back then.

I imagine that just like, just like, it's a golden haze in my mind imagining a time when you could silence men. Yeah. I he used up all his decibels was what happened back when you could tell fun jokes like like those guys did with Alexander the second that's right got a funny joke for you what goes boom this bomb who was wait wait wait wait

who was it that got blown up and lived that like got blown over an apartment building and lived did not well he lived a little bit this is what am I thinking of Ohio State You're about to fall, it is Ohio State, but you're about to fall deeply into one of my personal rabbit holes. I know, I've heard this jukebox so many times, but I forget who it is. There's some politician who got blown literally over an apartment building and survived long enough to know that this had been done to him.

The assassination of Luis Carrera Blanco. Thank you. Thank you. The guy who was blown. I'm putting a quarter in, buddy. Take us on the jukebox ride. Luis Carrero Blanco, the heir to the throne. of Francoism. That's right, Prime Minister of Spain, who, uh, who Spain is like the Ohio state of

Europe. So yes, this counts. Uh, who was, uh, just one of these guys who's like super right winged guy had a pair of, I'm going to share a picture of him. So you can see like his absolutely magnificent set of eyebrows. That's how you know that he was a serious person because he was like, no, I need to download the big eyebrows mod so that everyone totally believes how serious I am. Luis Carrero Blanco was extreme right-wing dude. Nobody liked him. He was in charge of shit in Spain. And then on December 20th, 1973, Basque nationalists from the group Etta decided to turn him,

and this is not my joke, into Spain's first astronaut by blowing him. He lived long enough to hear this joke, which was, made by people around him immediately after this happened. The Spanish space program. Yeah. The guy who was a Germanophile and not in the way that, not in the acceptable term. There's not a lot of great ways to pull that off. Yes.

He said the most distinct, I love this from his Wikipedia. The most distinct features of his ideology were being counter-revolutionary, anti-communist, and including the satanization of masonry. There we go. About opposition to free masonry. This guy's a real bummer. Yeah, this guy was like a super... Oh, it's okay. Guess what happened to him?

Yeah, funny. I have an update on this story, Jason. This is where you and I have had an argument because I think there's really no such thing as too much dynamite. Yeah, this is, you should know that the, the funniest part of this. entire thing for me is that in the in the Wikipedia entry describing all of this they're like public reaction explained what happened to him yet so he was uh eta tunneled under he was coming back from church and etta had dug a tunnel under the road all right and they um had they rented like a basement apartment and they had tunneled into it and this this three-man team were disguised as electricians and blanco was headed past do what kind of

of car do you think, by the way, that this extremely powerful man in the Spanish government was driving? Was he driving an armored car befitting his security status? Was he driving some sort of gigantic, if he's a Germanophile, say, a Mercedes-Benz? Jason, what kind of car do you think of ? I was going to guess that he was driving a fancy little German car. My man, Luis Carroubloco, was being driven in a Dodge Dart. How can I take you seriously as an oppressive fascist if you're just driving a Dodge Dart. Well, that's about to not be a problem. Yeah.

So, uh, the three man team packed a hundred and eighty pounds, a hundred and eighty pounds. A whole guy worth of dynamite. They, they packed an entire defensive back worth of dynamite. They said he's explosive off the line. Yes. Under, it's an industrial explosive that they put that they packed under the street. And at 9.36 a.m. as Carrillo Blanco was coming home from church and driving across, he was blasted 66 feet into the air. That's pretty good.

And over the five-story church, landing on the second. He landed on the second floor terrace on the opposite side of the fucking building. Did he land it? Did he? Oh, he landed. Did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, did he, was he? Right. Was he able to pull off a manual and keep the combo going? No, it was more of a skate three landing, bro.

Oh. Yeah. Is there footage of this that we could set bad religion you to at all? There are, there are no footage of this, but there are. There's no footage of this, but there is, there are some hilarious, uh, recreations of this, uh, that come from several films or documentaries on this. and some really wonderful diagrams that I will share. I'm just picturing that game at the fair where you hit the thing with the mallet

and the rubber frog goes flying onto the lily pad. The one I'm picturing is the tank trajectory game where two tanks are shooting at each other and you've got to do the math to hit. Yeah. And you get to keep going and keep going and keep going. So they had to keep firing this guy until he hit the target.

Basically, yeah. There I am, that's not going to do it. What the fuck is that? That was what happens when you copied the source code accidentally. Finally, I apologize. Yeah. It could be like, this motherfucker's improperly copying source code.

This is what Spencer sees. Yeah. Oh, that actually explains some things. No. Here, I am sharing a couple of choice images from this. If you don't know, listeners, there's, it's a beautiful block of, you know, five-story housing with little sort of Spanish touches. and in the middle of the shot of a city block there is a car that appears to be flying like Harry Potter's like the car that the Weasley's had in Harry Potter it does it is a Ford Anglia yes it appears to be that is a Dodge Dart but it does look like the Ford Anglia it sure does it's flying yeah also I'm going to share my favorite because the car is right side up in the photo I'm going to share with you my favorite which is the raw diagram yeah of what happened which appears to be

like a blueprint of cargo boom cargo over house this is my Halloween costume this is what I'm going to do you're going to go his horridu I'm going to be this car I'm going to be the dodge dark from the assassination of Luis Carrero Blanco I take back what I said about not being too specific Jason I think you should do this I take back what I said about Chinese hoot andy being the most beautiful phrase I'd ever heard just that exact angle yeah this is this is amazing He lived until like 10.15 p.m. So long enough to get roasted. About 45 minutes.

So it's possible that he lived long enough to be roasted. Spencer, I am posting the screenshot of your image you shared on Blue Sky and I'm including it in the alt text just in case. All right. Yes. Please do. Please do. The general reaction among the public, by the way, was one of indifference. Like this type of shit happens all the time

That's lunch I mean it's it's the 1940s man This shit happens No this was the 70s Oh 70s sir This is 73 Which yeah the 70s that happened a lot too Most of his shit was 40s

So I guess with him it's kind of always the 40s He's an old soul Especially after all the fire And dynamite Yeah So you know not definitely not a you got to hand it to him situation but if you're going to blow anybody you're going to have to throw it to him at this point he ain't got no hands also that's why you're

going to have to hand it to him exactly also the bombers for etta after this ran out and said there's been a gas explosion were they like were they tap dancing comically and winking when they said that. Exit, stage left. I don't know. Seems like a dynamite explosion. Trust us. We're gas experts.

We're electricians. It says so right here on my jumpsuit pocket. Did you guys? Electricians know what's gas. Who are you going to believe your lion eyes or the overturned dodge dart on the balcony? I mean, Like, think of it this.

You're out there. You hear the loudest thing you've ever heard. You look over. The prime minister of the country is on your second floor terrace. And there's a bunch of guys in costumes that probably say, electrician on the back, right? In quotes. Definitely not gas or bombs.

And they're coming out of a basement apartment going, that's crazy. They're coming up trying not to laugh. Yeah. I wonder how committed they were to the gas thing. Are they like fanning the air in front of them? Absolutely. Oh, do not go in there.

there for at least 20 minutes. I got a hold of some bad paella. You guys, you got to back up. Yeah. That is, sorry, you put a dollar, you put a dollar in the machine. Man, he's going to die before that paella is even done. I just wonder what would have happened if they would have been like, wow, there was some really bad electricity and we, I mean, I guess then it would look like their fault.

But then I would say, like, ah, those guys know what they're talking about. They have little lightning bolts in their jumpsuits. so I trust them all you got to do is walk with confidence and not really make eye contact that's the main thing you probably could have walked out and gone yeah we just blew up Luis Carrara Blanco most people will be like no yeah do you want some coffee oh that's crazy that's lunch then mm-hmm yeah sorry I got a siesta in three hours I got to rest up so yeah there I'll stop I'll stop there because because I'm because we're going to do a whole thing on that one day because it's it's so it's endlessly amusing to me i'm

susceptible to this kind of humor because at heart i am wired like with peekaboo brain and when somebody gets like the funniest thing to me in the world is the giant hook that pulls people off stage yeah so this is just like this is really just like a big game of peekaboo yeah i mean you could listen it's it's not funny when somebody gets bombed But when Luis Coro gets bombed Maybe It's funny when some people get bombed

I might entertain it You just see a picture of the guy And you go When you said 1940s Germanophile I'm primed for His downfall to be comedic I'm just saying You know things sometimes happen for reasons

You know You invoke the genie Sometimes the genie shows up Just physics wise Things happen for reasons. When 180 pounds of dynamite go off, things happen. The dynamite was the reason. Also, remember, you're sitting there thinking, you're like, oh, man, I'm dying.

I'm just getting blown up. It's crazy. And you go, I'm dying in a dodged dart. Oh, man. I was on the ground. Now I'm dying in a building. Everybody's laughing at me. And again, somebody walked out and they're like, how am I going to get this off my patio?

God. Yeah, you don't even have to worry about it. the grout, Franco. There's a, there's a car and a fascist on my porch. Yeah. God damn. Oh, that's what I was probably just went back in and took a two-hour nap and then came out at nine for dinner. This is, man, RIP to one of the greatest to ever blog it, Rick Chandler, who back in the glory days of Deadspin 1.0, when Spain's national anthem famously did not have lyrics for a really long time. It was just like a little instrumental, John.

And I guess Spain around the turn of this century was holding a contest to put lyrics to its national anthem. And Rick Chandler wrote one that mostly centered around Raphael Nadal, but it included a break in the middle for napping. As it should. Just treasure. As it should. Damn it. Yeah. Hey, I feel like that concludes one kind of business.

Having, having, having, having, um, done some anti-fascism, let's do some capitalism. What other kinds of business are there? Segway! It's not a segue. You say it with your, let's you declare it. Come on. We're not, we're not Tony what's his fuck here. Say it with your whole chest.

He did from the other side of the room. All right. Podcast business. What's a business? Podcast business. It's a business, definitely business, and it's not problematic. It's just business and it takes a money and it gets it money to the people. Okay.

Do you ever not feel like singing the song? No, I always feel like podcast business, brother. But doctor, I am Podliachi. Yeah. I'm about that podcast business. I mean, as long as you like singing the song. Yeah. Oh, adore singing the song.

Highlight of my week. Okay. Yeah. I will one day record the Dixieland version of it with the. Yeah, we'll do that with a live band. Server, we will work it out. My mom can play the banjo. So, do we have any new business to announce?

Newish business that we may have only announced once. Jason's going to Jacksonville. Oh, I'm going to Jacksonville, Florida. On November 24th, I think. Yeah, Sunday, November 24th. I'm going to Jacksonville, Florida. It's a free thing. It is at Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church.

I said the word Baptist. Ooh, scary. We're going to the bar afterward. The pastor's going to the bar with us. So I have told you what kind of bassists they are. More like Pabstest. Yeah. It's PAP as in Pabst blue ribbon.

Nailed it. Yeah. There's an RSVP form. I'm putting it in the watch grid at jasoncurg. com. And also there is a little bit of a charity component that I will also put in there with a link to that. We're going to try and cancel a little bit of medical debt. about that oh hell yes yeah love it we love those do we have uh maybe something we want to

remind the people of just to hold a hold a hold a note hold a hold a date January the whole month of January there there's a specific day in there which one is it 18th I think no I'm pretty sure let's see we probably tweeted this let me look at our tweets all tweeted gross I'll find that lovingly curated graphic. Yeah. Which sounds sarcastic, but it's not. January 18th, 2025. The forecast account has not tweeted it.

Yeah. Oh. But the Instagram account 100% has. Whatever. That is why I know, because I am looking at it, it says January 18th, 2025 in the metropolis of Atlanta, Georgia. I need you to go ahead and hold that date. Why? Why?

Because, because we're going to be doing a live ship. Just you guys? I don't know. I'm a serious intellectual. I want to talk about numbers and facts and stuff. Well, we love you too. That's why we're bringing Split Zone 2-0 for a double show. Double podcast with those nerds from the NFL podcast, Split Zone 2.

We will hold Godfrey and you can hit him. Tickets will be available when they're available. Soon-ish. Maybe, yeah, get to work out tickets. But one of you very adorably has said, when will there be details available? And I'm not going to blow this up, but you're clearly new. Hell if I know.

It's sweet that you, you know what? Yeah, there. It's sweet that you think we know that. But when we do, we'll share it with you. Probably. January 18. We might tweet it too. Put us up, just go ahead and follow us on all of our social platforms just to make sure

you can catch one of them. We don't really need to tweet it. Nobody used to tweet anything. That's always been true. Man, it's fucking true now. It's just funny that we haven't is mainly the main thing. Yeah, yeah. Alex is in charge.

It'll be fine. God, I love not being the one who has to do the work on the group project. It's so good. I'm just sitting over here playing through the cast. It's a weird sensation for me and I love it. Yeah. I'm just playing crazy taxi. and eaten skittles and waiting for someone else to do the work.

It's pretty great. Uh-huh. Additionally, I would suggest that you, if you're within the sound of my voice and you really say, hey, you sound awesome. I do. I do. And so does Holly. But you know what we were even better at? Writing.

That's right. You can subscribe to the channel 6 newsletter, which you can find in my Twitter bio at EDSB. Or you could simply Google Channel 6 if you would like and subscribe. Sometimes it's not a newsletter. Sometimes it's just talking. People seem to like that. I don't understand it, but you do. Yeah.

Sometimes we take your questions. Sometimes we publish features. Last week we argued for an hour about how to fix the Florida Gators football program. And it was not. Which people also seem to like, which is very strange. And it was not agonized and filled with self-pity. But we don't question your perversions. Yeah, whatever you're into, we don't judge it.

We just provide it for you at channel dash 6.ghost. I. Oh, $10 a month, two things a month, including the top whatever, our overview of everything that happens in the world of college football that week, which this week mentioned among many other things. Gus Melzon being smart enough to hire Ted Roof because do you know what you get to do if you hire Ted Roof? You get to fire Ted Roof. That is just, it's what he's there for, man. You got to have somebody on your staff that you want to fire. Gus Melzon fired Ted Roof this week after UCF's fifth straight loss. I'm sure that's going to fix everything.

He also handed off play calling duties to his offensive coordinator. An amazing move for Gus. For Gus. Because you want Gus on the administrative side. That's really his strengths. Yeah. That's why you hire him. The guy who wrote an entire book on the no huddle offense.

You want him away from play calling. That writing a book thing, that's a metaphor, right? Not like when we do it? Yes. One hopes. I know. It is not a metaphor. You can go get it.

The no huddle offense. It's a great book. I've read it. It's good. Do you want to learn how to run buck sweep in 1999 in Arkansas? You can go read that book. That's how you do it. Throughout history, man has had just one question on their mind, which is, what is prize

picks? That's right. Prize picks is the best place to get real money, sports, action. I have the answers. With over 10 million members and billions of dollars in awarded winnings, prize picks has made

daily fantasy sports accessible to all. All one needs to do is just pick more or more. Less. More. On at least two players

for a shot to win up to 100 times your cash. Run your game all season long on prize picks. Which I have begun dabbling in

as well using prize picks and let me tell you we're we're a little bit down right now because had some good weeks had some bad weeks but we're going to come back up because I am going to make correct mores or lesses this week mostly by relying as I have on the most reliable offensive power in college football which is the Iowa Hawkeyes offense just I've been hitting more I just hit that more button on the Iowa Hawkeyes and In case you want to know how unique the 2024 season is, it's been nothing but a banger for me. It's getting me through the droughts. So when the flood happens, I'll be on a little inner tube and it'll be black and yellow with a little hawk eye on the side.

That's fucked up. Yeah. Yes, it is. But you know, it's not fucked up. The real money you can get of prize picks because price picks now offers Venmo for quick and easy deposits and withdrawals into your account this sports season. all one needs to do, by the way, download the app today and use the code full cast to get $50 instantly

after you play your first $5 lineup. That's correct. You can use the code full cast, download the app, and get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup. Prize picks, run your game. Don't mind if I do.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We do like to play a little game called More. More. or less here more or less more or less normally Ryan does this he is so helpfully left a more or less segment for us thank you Ryan valued contributor even when you're resting even in death even in death he serves even in death he games yes podcaster for life

these takes don't stop coming the first college football playoff ranking uh is going to come out next week. And this is the first time that we'll be looking with actual care to see who's in the top 12 instead of just the top four, right? The top 12 is not exactly who would go and in that order, but I'm going to need a little chill about that for right now. I'm going to give you two teams. And you're going to tell me which one appeared in the initial top 12 of the playoff rankings, not the final, not any of the ones in between, more often in the decade of the 14 playoff era. Last week, Holly played.

So this week, Jason, I am signing you up for more or less. More. I accept more. All right. Florida or LSU. Let's see here. Florida was quite mediocre. And being mediocre in the SEC gets you ranked.

Florida was in there quite a bit in those years. It feels fun to say Florida. That is correct. Florida has appeared five. five times, as opposed to LSU's four. Florida was in 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20. LSU and 15, 18, 19, and 22. So you're one for one.

Next, Oklahoma State or Baylor. Oh, God. Those are two teams that are just random record generators from year to year. Uh-huh. So Baylor's best years were a bit before this. State is, you know, every other year is pretty good. I'm going to go with Oklahoma State.

This is some serious ball knowing, by the way. Oklahoma State. Ooh, Baylor, three times. 15, 19, and 21. Oklahoma State twice. 2017 and 2020. So 1-1. Iowa or Wisconsin?

It's wholesome. Yeah. So, Iowa. The thing about Iowa is there have been years when they have been difficult to rate because they don't score any points. The committee, which is often composed of like Air Force guys and neocons and general old people really likes it when teams don't score points. Like Northwestern was just every single year overrated by 10 points. Wisconsin also has a bit of that, but Iowa has more. Put me down for Iowa.

Ooh, it's the, the rationale is great. The results are not. Wisconsin, twice. Yeah. Twice. 2016 and 2017. Iowa only once in 2015. All right.

So we are at one and two. Next, Miami or Louisville? Mm-hmm. Um, I remember more Louisville teams as good in that era. Miami was very bad at times. Louisville, please. This is just Ryan.

This is just Ryan being diabolical here. He does, right. You have to take into account when answering these that Ryan has written a trap into, like, at least two thirds of these. And the rest of them, he's left non-trapping just to hope to lure you anyway. The Saul puppet of sports trivia. He is. Ryan Naney. Yeah, I try to ignore the psychoanalyzing Ryan part of it, but maybe I should be doing more.

More should I? I do more psychoanalizing and I am less good at this game. So, you know, I'm saying, I think, I think you're doomed either way and that's the part you really need to accept. It is Miami. Miami, uh, Miami. More like Carrie L. Less. Twice. He's in a saw movie. 2017 and 2020. Louisville just once in 2016.

So we're, we're at, uh, Louisville. there are a lot of like very weak schedule years that's probably part of it. Yes. So you're one in three, but that's okay. You've already got as many wins as Florida State on the year.

Home stretch here. Utah or USC. Yes. Utah or USC and this is top 25, initial top 25? In the initial top top. 12 of the playoffs 12 oh shit I miss that part can I start over like Florida State no I love that shit

um Jason today play so right Spencer is playing Ryan and Jason is playing Spencer yes what I'm getting from this segment um it feels good doesn't it Jason it's great yeah we we have often yelled about Utah being underrated Give me USC. You say USC and you are now one in four because Utah has done it twice in 2015 and in 2019. USC only once, 2022. So you see very much in that Florida thing where you go, hey, that's a power.

That's mean. Wow. You know, look at the recent news. USC, do you hear him compare you to Florida? That's fair. What are you going to do about it? USC yeah what are you going to do about it uh not take my son as a preferred walk on because i paid you to oh uh either one of them if i have a better record right now what

like u s you should aspire to get on billy napier's level riley come on last one I mean not ironically Raleigh Get your shit together Lincoln Last one Wake Forest Or North Carolina

Jesus Ryan I think this is like this is actually Above and Beyond Ryan Can we call Ryan right now This is Top 12 Wake Forest You should have to answer for this Congratulations

You have now doubled Florida States win total for the year and surpass them that is correct Wake did it in 2021 I'm about to read what this entire thing

was the setup for the whole thing I know Ryan I know why he did this it's just so he could do this UNC's never appeared in the initial playoff top 12 yeah because they always do that shit where they're like oh my gosh

they're 3 and 0 it's fine don't don't fall for it folks don't fall for ever never ever they've never appeared in the playoff top 12 ever and this concludes this week's installment of more or more more less oh disagree because with price picks it's always more or more legal legal does that make you uncomfortable well if it does that make you uncomfortable well if it does

I triggered you have I triggered you have I triggered you have I triggered you did all this did all my god we've got a major political party built on I'm not touching you except sometimes they are they do a lot of that does all this edgy comedy upset you do you need some comfort some fleecy warm I need a safe space inside a shirt Segway Thank you Can you do it

Okay can you do the segue So that you start far away Then get close to the mic Then go Then go far away Again like a Doppler effect Like you're going by on a segue Perhaps towards a cliff

Of some time Hold on Hold on Okay Do you guys know how the end better The Segway died Segway On a moped.

Oh, I like that. That's pretty good. Okay, so, home-filled apparel. Makers, as you know, for several years now, of the finest, comfiest, vintage, collegiate apparel, who you know for their t-shirts, their hoodies, and even occasionally their comfy jogger sweatpants that we harass them online into printing sad Connecticut mascots on,

have branched out further in recent weeks into many other kinds of garment, into outerwear. And I had to claim ownership of this week's home field ad read because they have dropped as of October 24th. So it will have been out for about a week as you're listening to this. the Southern Collection addition to their 90s-style varsity pullovers. These look like the letter jacket you had back in the 90s, but they're one-piece V-neck pullover. And I just need to call out a few of these because the three of them caught my eye immediately

as just being so choice out of this collection alone. This collection includes if I'm going down the rainbow, So Vanderbilt, Ole Miss. I see Auburn in there, LSU, TCU, Georgia Tech. Well, that was Auburn the first time, so I don't know who this other tiger is. Is that Memphis? Maybe it's Memphis. We're doing great.

We got a big cat on the loose. Got Ole Miss. There's a tiger in like the purple and black section. Somebody come claim this tiger. It's not, we've got a loose tiger. Surprise tiger garment. I'm assuming it's. Memphis.

Who's goddamn tiger is this? There's Ole Miss. Somebody hold that tiger. Florida 2 Lane. We got Miami, A&M, Oklahoma, Florida State, Bama, Arkansas. Got Houston, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee. And there's a couple of them that I just want to shout out real quick because the Tennessee one has the Rifleman logo on the front, which we all know is the greatest logo that has ever been made in Tennessee history. The Ole Miss one is kind of subtle, but I think I see what they were going for.

The Ole Miss on the front in Big Type looks like the cover of a John Grisham novel. I say this with affection and compliments to Ole Miss. And the other one that I really wanted to highlight in this season of cocaine-based football news is Miami, which has a beautiful, beautiful deep green. for the pullover and that lovely white flowing Coke invoking her. Like if you were to write your name in dust on a mirror in Section 336 of Kyle Field, it might look a little bit like what they've done with the hurricane script on the front of Miami's.

Anyway, I cannot recommend these pullovers enough. I cannot wait to get mine. I've already ordered the rifleman. I cannot wait to see it. I cannot wait to snuggle within it. I cannot wait to make a safe space and cocoon my entire head inside it and not come out for several weeks. If you would like to make your first purchase from homefield apparel.com, you can get 20% off of that first order with offer code.

I'm almost positive full cast. Give it a try to try to try it a try to it down. If that doesn't work, split zone has a code too. You try theirs. If you've already made home field purchases, you should buy this anyway. they're beautiful. Thank you, Homefield,

our longest tenured and in many ways most patient sponsor and ally. End of ad. End of ad. Hey, I want to talk about another ad that is not our ad. But first I have a question.

Yes. Spencer, I know that you listen to this show. Serber, Jason, do you guys consume any ESPN podcasts? Not regularly. I don't think so. Okay. I asked because this came up on a friend of the program, Dominique Foxworth's show.

Not on the show. This was an ad during their show. And it's a little bit strange. And I kind of wanted to heat check it from a couple different directions with you guys. For one thing, this was an ad during the most recent episode of Dominique's podcast that was sent to us by a friend of the program, Brandy Brown. and I had never heard of this ad in a couple of ways. And the more I listened to it, the weirder it got. First of all, it is a podcast ad for the paint company bear.

You guys know what I'm talking about? Like, B-E-H-R. It's a podcast ad for a company that normally you would only see ads for, like, on television. Right? And I know that there are some companies like McDonald's, you know, that, like, cross into the space. But typically, you don't hear like a Home Depot ad on a podcast, right? yeah like there are there there there are certain media spaces that certain companies inhabit and i was like well i'm not expecting to hear about sherwin williams in between like internet mattress ads

but there's this ad for bear and it starts off talking about how you know if you want real greatness from college football you want a guy like nick sabin and i'm like okay and i'm expecting to hear nick sabin at any moment and instead this guy's just like what and then instead the ad just continues and it's not it's not dominique reading it's a it's a third party ad that's been dropped in and they're talking about how how bear is the greatest college football uh is the greatest paint for college football fans to use it even includes the phrase everything you need in one can and i'm like yeah it's paint to me that that's this is my understanding of paint and here's here's the other thing nick sabin appears nowhere

in this ad, it invokes both Nick, Nick Saban and Alabama football by name, but does not invoke the bear in an ad for the company, Bear, and it appears in a podcast for on a sports network. I've never heard this ad anywhere else. I've never run across it in the wild, but it's like, this feels, does this feel like AI? no you know it was there's there's so much that's strange about it that it's like it was written by we have a lot of experience about ads that were written for sports people by people that don't know anything about sports you might be right like i've had some students submit some clearly ai written ads and like that's why i wanted to ask you specifically yeah like i've had to catch them on that it's like hey man i see that you just put a keyword in here and then like let the i i do a thing for you um that might be what they did, especially for like a podcast, especially like,

let's dip our toe in the podcast water. Oh, but I don't want to pay the ad agency to do a copyright. So like, you mentioned Nick Saban, who's not there, but like not making the bear bear connection seems like such an obvious leap

for what's a sports show. And their logo is a bear. Is it not? Yeah. This is not a thing that they run from. It's not a thing where they worry about the confusion. Yeah. You know what else this sounds like?

Anyway, she, Brandy sent this to me wondering if I had ever heard this ad and I had not. And she checked with multiple other sports broadcasters who have also not heard this. So like, there's some kind of like rogue chat GPT thing, creating dad ads to go in podcasts. And this is just what it's spitting out is my current operating theory. The other thing it sounds like, there are ads that you will hear on local college football radio that use the name of the team and the coach. but they don't feature either. So you'll hear like,

hey, you know what? Real excellence starts with a healthy breakfast, just like Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide eat when they consume little Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits. So here's the other thing. This invokes Alabama. Brandy lives in Minnesota. That's what it sounds like a road.

So it can't be geolocated either. No. No, it just sounds like one of those where they go, yeah, just use our name. I'm not going to do any shit for it. As a person who gets every ad in the Texas and Ohio Senate campaigns for some reason, maybe this is a part of that. Everywhere is everywhere.

Anyway, it was, it's so, I'll send this to you guys to listen to it. I didn't want to just like play another company's ad in the middle of our show, but it's super weird. Jason, I get some of those two, and I'm very fond of, I learned a lot that Colin Allred is just like, it's too liberal for me. I don't know why, but I will ride or die for Colin. all read ever since immediately after Ted Cruz's previous loss, they had an ad cut ready to go talking about like,

even Jerry World isn't safe from the Cruz current. And they got a really good in a world voice guy to do it. It's like your sports teams aren't safe from Ted Cruz and neither are your children, which is absolutely true. I just like that. Somebody did a study on the media markets that have had the most political advertising this time. God forbid we talk about politics. Oh, how are we doing?

But we're number two. Jesus, who's worse? Phoenix. Oh, God. Sorry, Phoenix. And then you add on top of that. We got it pretty bad over here. You add on top of that, if you're a football watcher, then you get Texas and Ohio as well.

Oh, yeah. I always like, I like the ones that I know nothing about. So like this North Carolina will come on to be like, Don Davis is transgendering your guns. And you're like, whoa. Tom Davis is doing something. Wild shit. Too liberal for Idaho.

Dog everywhere's too liberal for Idaho. I'm literally not allowed to drive Tylenol to my niece's school, children's chewable Tylenol. Too liberal for Belarus? But she got a transgender surgery at lunch. Too liberal for Mars. My opponent is Satan's handmaiden, and that's not a compliment. Too liberal for hell?

Yeah, we wrote about that a little bit. Title VI newsletter, but like, if the opponent is doing all the shit that these ads say they're doing, when do they sleep, brother? When? They're just doing all kinds of insane shit, right? We're making our politicians sound way cooler than they actually are, right?

They're like, uh, Tim Walts had an affair with a Chinese mistress. Somebody Samisband is an international spy and the championship defense coordinator. And this last one that they, yeah, this last one that they attempted is like, okay, Tim fuck this lady and she's still about it a generation later.

You're telling me this man is Lutheran James Bond? Twenty-five years later, this lady still remembers the night she spent with Tim Walls. Don't vote for him. Yeah. I can't stop thinking of him. His memory is the persistence of my soul. This man knows how to download Crazy Taxi in 2024.

And he's to work. And he's romancing the... That was such an underrated part of that yesterday. You know how to get Crazy Taxi on a screen. Scraming. I mean, listen, you hired somebody who knew how to do it, okay? That's, that's impressive all by itself. I think, I think the most impressive thing is that it 100% wasn't a Sega Dreamcast

that Tim Walls has an emulator on his laptop. Yeah. Or he did what I did during the pandemic and, I mean, do we know it was on his laptop? I didn't watch this. Probably, right? It was like a Zoom. It was definitely a port. What I did during the pandemic was I bought a jailbroken PlayStation classic and paid

some kid on Etsy to. send me a flash drive with like 5,000 game ROMs on it? Was this specifically so I could play bubsy and bubsy too during lockdown? Mind your business. Yeah. Stop doing ads that make them sound way cooler and busier than they actually are, right? Also, very, very fond that Colin Allred cannot do this to Ted Cruz because they're like, Ted Cruz isn't doing a lot.

Ted Cruz isn't it? Mm-mm. Not liberal enough for Texas? Ted Cruz will feast on your cowering flesh. Yeah, we know. He's kind of got that look. Ted Cruz isn't out there actively burning down your opponent's homes. Because he's too short.

Because he doesn't make anything warm. I'll just go over to places that are warm. No, we're not going to... No, it's daytime. The Ted Cruz voice can't hurt us. Ted Cruz doesn't make anywhere warm except for his nest. I'm not going to do it by request. Oh, he's saving all his warmth for his ovipositor.

I made it. The only warm place is where I sit. Ah, there it is. Making a nested senior frogs. Ryan, they're doing it again. It's very warm in here, according to my feelers. Watering the eggs with the margarita mix. if I can shout out our Reddit just one more time

right after this episode dropped there was one person in there who was very confused what we were talking about and three people responded to them to immediately with not only the Clickhole article that launched all this but the date yeah congratulations on having that deep pull

and congratulations to Clickhole for lodging this in our brains for six goddamn years you know what else is lodged Oh, God damn it. Forever. Schedule game, please, please. Was that like the, like, that was the start of like Ted Cruz eggs, the musical. Yeah.

Just a shell of myself. Oh, stroking his eggs. You're all my little ragtime gals. That's right. It's time to look at the schedule. Looking at the schedule. I will promise to pretend to believe that it's week 10. we will just talk about something else.

Wednesday night, Liberty's worst nightmare playing the same time as Kennesaw State. Fortunately for them, they're not in the same game, but still it's Wednesday night. It's what they're doing instead of

not going to youth group, huh? Hey, they could get bowl eligible tonight, but maybe not. Rich Rod, how about it? Let's see it. Western Kentucky could also get bowl eligible. tonight, but at the expense of America's

team, the Kennesaw State for heighten owls, so hope not. I want to go ahead and say that locally, it's a dark week here in Atlanta, because on Friday, Georgia State, it's just going to have to take an L as they move through the ordeal of going into the Husky Pit.

I don't know what, the den. The den of huskies. They're at Yukon. Yukon's going to beat that ass. The whole of huskies. Yeah. All Yukon does is bring people into that house of pain and then rock bottom of them. Yeah.

Bowl eligible Yukon. Wait, what? There's a lot of weird shit already. Yeah, you put a bowl out there in front of Yukon. You're going to stand. You know, they normally say, don't stand between a dog and its bowl. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Yeah. You get late night Boise State. It's always the thing. Oh, God. Oh, they're the biggest nudest Saturday of all.

This is Oh, I see Levels We have previously Couldn't register On the nudeness scale I say Gus Johnson is going to be

Not just on one On several For this one On so many His cells are thrumming That's This is This is the most

2421 game ever Predestant Ever They've got to be so they're like Penn State fans have to be so mad that this is the big nude game because it's a noon game right this should be a night game so they do white out of night do they want to play at night yeah they like to wear white clothes no I know but do they a home field by the way just released a brand new white bomber jacket one more at one more ad thing in advance of this game but um I wasn't aware that they like to do their white out stuff at night I think strange I think that's a more intimidating environment and they're like I know that I'm old and broken because I was like Penn State at night, that stadium is so hard to get to.

Oh my God, you're going to be driving for two hours after a night game. Yeah, counterpoint. Back to your holiday in. And also when it's like 38 times. This means you got to start drinking at like 1 a.m. So they got it. I'm aware that's not a problem for Penn State fans.

Yeah. Another game that's going to be, you know, 38. to 37, Duke Miami. Two different kinds of, this is two different kinds of cocaine cultures. This will be very interesting to see how Duke loses this. I'm telling you. I got to pull,

come on, we got to want this for Manny just a little bit. We do, but you know what this Miami team's destiny is. This Miami team's destiny is. You can't beat Miami? No one can. It's for Cam Ward.

Yeah. For Cam Ward to commit. What Cam Ward, Angel? Three turnovers and five TD. That's that's the you know who's going to keep duke in this game cam ward it doesn't matter what you do you can't beat miami doesn't matter how much better you are than them it's true doesn't matter because i'm telling you like ooh cam ward's going to make two or three turnovers that you will cringe when you see and go has this man ever played football before and then he's going to throw a pass where you go that's a first round pick oh my god this man is this man's a demi god yeah um that's what's going to happen in this game just go ahead and prepare yourselves for it do you want to see an unholy ass whooping that is going to continue for three hours straight unholy i mean look away in which direction because i think i know what game you're going to next oh i mean fired up about stanford nc state i am i am but i'm even more fired up army air force okay

yes actually yeah i am because holy hell if you get a chance to catch a one and six Air Force that's caught between talent cycles. That has already done a prank at you involving chairs, Air Force, really? You want to lean into that? Army's going to torture them. This is ugly. It wouldn't be the first time Army's done that. No.

On American soil, also no. Yeah. But if you want to watch Bryson Daily, do some shit. Black nights in the light of day. Speaking of torture, you could watch Ole Miss Archie. Arkansas, oh, God, Ole Miss's $30 million lineup might be hitting six and three here. Fortunately, Arkansas fans will maintain an even keel when presented with Ole Miss's theatrical tendencies on defense. To be clear, I think Ole Miss should spend even more money because I believe in student athletes being compensated.

No matter how overrated their team as a whole is. I think the problem is that you don't care enough and you haven't spent enough money. That's probably it. Yeah. The CW game, Virginia Tech Syracuse, the winner is ball eligible. What the hell? Say that again? Yeah.

It's true. Yeah. No way around it. If I offered you a million dollars, could you tell me Virginia Tech's five wins? Nope. Because it is quite a crazy quilt. They have stitched together here. I know Old Dominion's in there.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Marshall. Stanford. Sure. BC and Georgia Tech. Okay.

Their losses are just as amazing. Like Miami, sure I can beat Miami, but Vanderbilt and Rutgers teams Virginia Tech traditionally loses too. Virginia Tech was the harbinger of Vandy's season this year, and we just didn't listen. yeah at the time it was wow virginia tech must be terrible no they're apparently quite decent listen to the hokey bird i want i'm gonna say it i want everyone to look at it okay and i know that the thing that happens when you expect something good is you get something else no that's not what's happening right now no no vanderville at auburn that's right that's right this week. Hugh? Did I hear Hugh say he was sick? We thought he was sick. I thought he was sick before.

Oh, oh, you guys, how could I forget? There was one other thing in the Pliny episode, and I don't even remember what it was about, but we referred to Auburn as having a case of, and I quote, butt fever. Wow. Still got a case of butt fever. Everything old is new again. They must have won that week, I guess. Hugh Fries versus Diego Pavia Round three at least I would say For all but no Diego's already clinched the series Yes

This is a complete quote is I'm sick of seeing that quarterback I've had enough of him What a competitor he is Not yet That's it Not yet you haven't Not yet

We got a little of Diego like a Christmas goose. Yes. Remember that's... Oklahoma. They're both four and four. Maine Black Bears. I'm going to go ahead.

Just bird dog and everybody on this. Okay. It's on ESPN Plus. Find where it is on ESPN Plus. And if something's happening in the fourth quarter... That's really mean of them to put... That's really mean of them to put this on the app. This is all we want to see.

Oklahoma games like this are traditionally broadcast on our... broadcast on old Twitter video like on right like that's like Army Oklahoma we need to bring that back yeah they did to bootleg it for us they joined a conference no sense of humor so they don't get to do that anymore Maine does still wear new balance gear

this is your annual check but their mascot shoots lightning out of its mouth Spencer how are we feeling about Florida versus Georgia oh god I for Okay, don't laugh I forgot that was this weekend because it's not being coupled

with the traditional Georgia Southern matchup I mean I think we'll score a touchdown Okay Yeah That's sweet, okay Yeah, I think we'll score a touchdown You know, I feel like

I feel like we can score 13 Well, okay, there's, you know Georgia has come out For some conference games And done their Mercer thing of Sleepwalking through the first half

and then almost grudgingly winning the second half. Fine. We'll play football. Yeah. Yeah. If they look like they did against Texas, there's nothing to be done. Well, I mean, Spencer, you saw that up close. What do you think they're capable of?

I think they're capable of beating your ass. And that's, I think they're capable of making it. I don't think they're capable of skunking you. Like, I don't think they're like a, hey, we're going to shut. shut you out. Dominant. On the ass beating skunk and scale. So you're feeling really, really great about the nation's greatest scoring streak continuing.

I'm feeling pretty good that we're going to put up at least three points against the Georgia Bulldogs. Oh, have you got a better kicker? I almost feel bad about that. Almost, but not quite. I can't feel pain anymore when it comes to this football. team's all no fill balls yeah 10 points 10 10 points and bust 10 wow wow okay because i think d lagway's probably gonna he'll probably get a long one

he'll probably throw like a long t d because they like to play man and you might win one of those balls like j long way yeah i um so peacock is of course notre dames's app and it's appropriate they have the state of indiana's best team on there this week indiana going to michigan state um all these Big 12 games, I'm like, am I supposed to have an opinion on this? Every big 12 team is like random quality. And also now there's way too many big 12 teams. There's that, but they're also like

all of these teams are equally good. One of them will win. By the way, Curtis Sork, starting quarterback for Indiana, they're optimistic about him starting against Michigan State. So that is where we stand on Tuesday at 3.30 p.m.

UNC will probably beat Florida State because everyone beats Florida State. Probably. UNC is the team you always have to hedge on, don't you? Hey, Nebraska could get their bowl eligibility game off of UCLA. That's a normal thing. Totally normal Big Ten game right there. Another totally normal Big Ten game.

Oregon goes to the big house. It's time to watch Michigan attempt to move the ball. I'm sorry, Iowa. I've slanted you for the better part. 15 years. All of that offensive slander. It's not slander if it's true. It all belongs to Michigan now. All of it. Since Michigan decided to take the entire year off from playing the position of quarterback. Yeah. Late that night we have, not late, but later that night, we have what could be a battle for one of the ACC title games spots between Pitt and SMU. What an incredible

sentence SMU by the way better with every phrase I want to see if SMU can have seven turnovers and still win this game I'm going to see if Pitt can have seven turnoff

This is two teams That can practice anti-football On a very high level Meeting thrilling This is the ultimate Like whatever the box score says Don't fall for it

Yeah This is Brian This is literally If Ryan wrote a football game It'd be like One team had 28 first down And she'd be like, they must have won. They lost by 40.

I would like to publicly state that the new ACC kicks total fucking ass. It's so good. It's such a bummer that Clemson wants to leave it because it's fucking rules. Yeah. Clemson will, of course, win this game. But yeah, it does rule. Oh, cool. There's a Pac-12 game, USC, Washington.

I'll actually, like, acknowledge the outcome of this. Yeah, USC at Washington, two teams that are four and four at this point. That's so wrong. But so right. Low key potentially squirrely tilt. 730, the ABC game. Is A&M going to South Carolina? You don't want to do that.

No. Not at night. Is it still a trophy game? Are they still doing the trophy for this? Geez, I forgot about that. I hope they're, with the divisions abolished, are they, huh? I hope they've already forgotten about it. It looks like the most recent article was, okay, so SC did an article for on it last year.

So I guess they still have a trophy. I would in this game want to really understand what they're going to do if Marcel Reed starts. Because of Marcel Reed starts, that means that the. primary strength of that South Carolina defense its defensive ends you have a choice between doing what you want to do which is running like hell up the middle right or staying back and actually trying to keep Marcel Reed in the pocket that's really intriguing to me like as a chess piece we also have um oh god the aforementioned Wisconsin Iowa wow man mm-hmm get your fiber Louisville Clemson yeah, maybe. Something. That could get interesting in several unpleasant ways.

Serbs, how are we feeling? Uh. Tummy hurt. Anticipatory tummy hurt. Yeah. Otherwise good, though. Can I copy? I'm going to the Virginia Tech game next week.

Ooh. Have you been before? No, I've never been. Tweet at me if you have recommendations. I have several. It is a go find. Go find our key play buddies and see if they're telegating. They put on a great one.

Nice. Yeah, but that's a beautiful campus, especially this time of year. So I've set myself up to be very sad this Saturday with a Cliffs and losing to Louisville. I mean, that's usually what happens is if you purchase a game for like, if you're like, oh man, I've got a game in two weeks, they'll lose the one before, right? Like they'll immediately devalue your ticket. But I want to go to Lane Stadium anyway. It's two hours away.

Might as well go while a team that I actually give a shit about's there. It's absolutely gorgeous in the fall. Yeah. Get you get a turkey leg, buddy. Oh, is the fair there? Every week, baby. Every week.

They're one of those schools that's like, yeah, we're eating our mascot. Don't worry about it. It's not weird at all. I know they're endangered at all, but if we ate tigers at Clemson, that would be... What the fuck?

Well, I'm just saying, I said if they qualified, if they weren't endangered though. Right, right. And someone was like, hey, here's the tiger, be like, shit you. Are they endangered? Are they not? I thought they, there's not a lot of wild tigers. I kind of feel like that's because tigers.

You don't see them very often these days. I feel like that's because like tigers are like solitary creatures. Hey, they're playing the Louisville Cardinals on a Sunday buddy. They're in serious danger.
