Starting point is 00:00:00 You want to know when I knew I wasn't shit? This is when I found out that there was a skull-knuckle Tennessee. Skull-Nuckle Tennessee. That people used to show up at fucking Skull-Nuckle. Oh, no, no, it's not Skull-Nuckle. Unless it's, I think it's skull-bone. No, there was. Unless there's a different place.
Starting point is 00:00:19 No, we're calling it. No, that's it. Like, I'd always heard Skull-Nuckle, but evidently, it's in Gibson County and there's... No, maybe the intersection is skull-knuckle. it's been known in local circles as the capital of the kingdom of Skolbonia man we don't have enough
Starting point is 00:00:38 here we have we have faux killer creek named after apparently after named after a member of the Cherokee Nation named four killer who was so named because he killed four people I think it's a pretty good name
Starting point is 00:00:50 oh hey hey why is your brother named Bones why stop it four that's what I'm always So he's like, he killed four people. I'm like, quitter.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Listen, you got past two. You kill one, maybe that's an accident. You can't, if you kill four people and that's your name, four killer, if you kill someone else, then you got to update your business cards. You got to check the handles online to see if it's even available. What happens? Four is also not a number that people are going to be like, eh, he's full of shit. It also doesn't.
Starting point is 00:01:26 If you're like, I'm 37 killer, they're like, he killed. two dudes it doesn't speak well of your image among those that name you either because it implies that well you've killed four people and your job is done maybe maybe that person hated the nickname maybe they were like hey laurels of four murders okay guys guys why do we have to like okay it was one summer like can we get over it can we talk about the other things i've done since then i'm just like what happened to initiative in this country i'm a kindergarten teacher you can't keep calling me four killer i've stopped drinking coffee i'm not that person anymore kindergarten teachers have more motive than anybody to become murder what if you're like hey man listen this is four killer okay cool
Starting point is 00:02:07 this is a really good party hey have you met my friend seven killer oh god they have got to be related to the muhan somehow i think maybe he introduces himself like hi i'm i'm 23 killer and they're like okay four killer the two chains tweet yeah this dude ain't shit yeah seven chains doesn't have to yeah except that at this number it is actually your number is increasing where does it stop is actually a concern when it comes to an hour later i now go by five killer what what did you just do yeah that better not have been on the car they go outside come back in and announce they have a new name yeah hang on a second i'm tired of being characterized from my
Starting point is 00:02:57 murderous rage only. I need a rebrand. They didn't have my name on any of the novelty license plates. It's all three-killer. Now I'm eight-killer. Welcome to the shutdown fullcast. You are listening live to the only college football podcast on these internets. I really hope they're not listening live.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I mean, they're always listening live. Aren't they? To them. That's upsetting. Very on parlor? Okay, help me out. Is it parlor or is it parlay? Because either one could be upsetting.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Parlay sounds a little French, if you know what I mean. Yeah, but parlor sounds like a fancy room with furniture you're not allowed to sit on. And that's not for common folk like us. My favorite thing I've seen this week regarding that was John Tesh announcing he was going to parlor. Because, you know, he said, I'm going to leave this test pool of negativity behind. I'm going to parlor to which I say John Tesh good luck
Starting point is 00:04:29 with the white supremacists I've already been banned from parlor for calling Lindsay Graham wormtong Did you make a parlor account? I'm kidding I wasn't actually I wasn't actually being from parlor I don't know I would like to
Starting point is 00:04:47 open the program with an apology in the last installment of the shutdown forecast I said that, you know, saying that you love your kids really doesn't mean anything when we're doing character descriptions, because loving your kids is really a bare minimum of the human condition and your obligations to others. For instance, I said that, you know, people say, oh, well, my champ's a good dude. He loves his kids. And I said, well, you know what, Stalin loved his kids. To which I want to issue an apology because there's a correction due, we don't really know that Stalin loved his kids.
Starting point is 00:05:24 we don't yeah if we want to talk about stalling let's just talk about will most champs offense hey woo back at it because it sucked sucked most of the time it's not very good oh i meant because it was stalling yeah yeah cool it's a verb wasn't going anywhere yeah yeah that's because he wasn't very good at this job um so it wasn't really an apology um god damn it we were doing so well I know. I'm going to make Cerber cut that out. This week, I think we wanted to start with the question. Because this is the addition of the full cast where we like to...
Starting point is 00:06:06 We've had the start of the show. We've had you saying we want to start the show with the apology. And now you're announcing that we're starting the show with something else. Listen, we're like... This is like reverse return of the king. My goal has always been to do the Muppet show thing four times. The exit of the king. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:22 where we tell you how we're going to start the show. It's like every great rap track. It's about to go down. It's about to happen. It's on the way. Can I back up for a second? Oh, yeah. Hi, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Now my, hi. Now my computer has Joseph Stalin children as a search that it has run. And it has led me to the following story about a child he had with his first wife who he married in 1906 and who died of typhus 16 months later apparently like Florida of Rosdale apparently Joseph Stalin was so inconsolable due to this that he jumped into
Starting point is 00:07:06 her grave during the funeral and guests struggled to get him out now he had a son named cato like cato caylin spelled that way cato or sorry the cato was his wife's name his son's name was Yakoff. Like Yakov. Smirnoff. Yes. He apparently did not love this son. He considered him weak and was always fighting with him.
Starting point is 00:07:31 In 1925, Yakov said he wanted to get married. His father forbade it. His son attempted suicide and wounded himself with a gunshot. And Stalin is said to have joked cruelly. Ha, you missed. So. Wow. So.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So I think we could go ahead and say that Joseph Stalin, at least in the case of his oldest child, did not love his children. Holy shit. That's the vibe I'm picking up here. Advantage Will Must champ. Maybe. Take that, South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:08:05 You fired a man who loved his kids more than Joseph Stalin. His other children, one of them, served seven years in prison. And the other one, defected to the United States. well must champ's children have also defected to the united states from south carolina oh we want political asylum we grow up in a country where passing is frowned upon and scoring is not allowed
Starting point is 00:08:32 what a serious dis by the way to be like yeah i defected from the country my dad made yeah i just went to another one i hated it i went to i went to my dad's least favorite country well one of them at least when you just reject when you reject custody of the country your dad made yeah i don't spend weekends in moscow i just i do it all over here and think of how far you have to go to leave the soviet union you know like it's a long way it's the single biggest chunk of the earth's landmass and you're leaving the pack 12 so what she did her fourth husband was um Indian by birth and when he died she was allowed to visit India to spread his ashes ashes into the Ganges River and once she was once she got to India once she left
Starting point is 00:09:25 Russia she like immediately defected at the embassy and and left her kids behind damn this is like a legacy of the Stalin's just like not great parents I think that's ultimately what history says about the Stalin family not great parents yeah what a surprise too Yeah, right. I want to know what was going on in the mind of the fourth husband who when he met Joseph Stalin's daughter. And she said, yeah, I've been married to three other guys. He thought, but I'm the dude who's going to nail his job. I got it.
Starting point is 00:09:59 What self-confidence to see that and go, yeah, the other three dudes, it didn't work out with Joseph Stalin's daughter. But me, I'm going to cruise this. So I think what we've learned is that the only people who liked Joseph Stalin were the people in the movie who were kind of sad because he died. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, kind of sad. They were also kind of like, well, there goes the great man. Let's immediately begin jockeying for power. What do they call him?
Starting point is 00:10:33 Like the big guy? Yeah, they go, big little sad. Anyway, so why are the NKVD taking him from Moscow? Yeah. The question I wanted to open with this week after we apologize to Joseph Stalin. That's not what we were doing. You know what? Opposite, I think.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Who was the Kevin Stalin? Chad. Chad Stalin. Oh, wait, that's just Kevin Stallings. Kevin Stallings. Kevin Stallings. That's where those people came from. At Benjamin Dietz on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Shout out Kevin Stallings. You're a bitch. that's holly the stallion of this podcast i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna drown you in a boot see the stalin of this podcast are you not in enough are you on enough trouble with me today why yeah come on jesus how did we go from spencer is going to start the podcast with an apology to spencer makes holly so mad she threatens to drown him i mean i get how we got there because i it's also like not that hard to drown him so it's a fairly mild threat i can swim no baby at benjamin deets asks do you guys realize how close we are to a northwestern versus indiana big 10 title game this is
Starting point is 00:11:58 such an important reader question even though it's a yes or no answer oh god that's a real possibility like i hadn't i will be honest i picked to this question um I fully thought I understood what it meant but saying it out loud really just brought home what a terrible, terrible trajectory we are on and or wonderful. I don't know. Might be the best Big Ten.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Can you remember a single Big Ten championship game where you go, oh yeah, that was hot fire? Yes. Thank God I watched that. Iowa, Michigan State. Also, that time Ohio State put up 59 points out of nowhere. that was pretty good too also that time the turf peeled up and then agriculture uh a first responder was on the scene also that also that time urban mire ate sad pizza in a golf cart yeah the big 10
Starting point is 00:12:58 championship was that was the big 10 championship he just lost the michigan state i think was that the was that the game that michigan state closed out the game with like a 28 minute drive That's Iowa. That's Iowa. Okay. Yeah, where Michigan State out Iowa and Iowa. You could just see Kirk Ferrence on the other sideline going, ah, the erotic torture of being hoisted up my own partard of a 28 play 14 minute drive, which was beautiful because it just nibbled away three yards at a time, like for real. It's like three, four, three, four. This was the Braxton Miller, Carlos Hyde, Ohio State team that while down three points got stopped on fourth and two at the Michigan State 39, and then got stopped on fourth down again around midfield on their next possession. Then we made fun of it for eating. Ohio State led this game 2417 and then did not score again as Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:14:05 behind which which quarterback here's the rail test which quarterback was it that that did this uh was that cook it was connor cook yeah that's kind of cook led them 17 straight points and they won 34 24 and then most importantly the urban mire was this also the same game when he like took a trophy from archie griffin and no one liked the way he took it yeah yeah it was conner which which countercook teammates like to be fair I think everyone got confused because Connor Cook and Kurt Cousins kind of looked alike. And Kurt Cousins was Mr. God, what an inspirational speech you made at the FCA kind of player in college. And Conner Cook, I think, was the kind of guy who was like, yeah, what's your girl's number? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I mean, I want to talk to you, of course, but what's your girlfriend's number? I think that was Connor Cook. Yeah. So, yeah, the Big Ten champion, like, I honestly, you can make a case that the Big Ten Championship has. has had more entertaining games in the last, let's say, 10 years than the SEC Championship. Well, yeah, yeah. Then the ACC Championship. The ACC Championship is a formality that we do not need.
Starting point is 00:15:19 No one has ever watched the Pac-12 Championship. Ocontrere, sir, the Wake Forest, Georgia Tech 9-6 game. It was a classic of the genre. Well, until my canes finally are allowed to compete in it, it won't i won't acknowledge it i think so indiana northwestern the current lay of the standings is indiana ohio state are tied for the east lead they play on saturday northwestern and wisconsin are tied for the west lead same deal um if indiana and northwestern managed to pull off the upsets it's it's it's pretty close to home free um so northwestern they're only like a
Starting point is 00:16:00 touchdown underdog against wisconsin which i think it's pretty slim but but Pat Fitzgerald is good at this kind of bullshit. If Northwestern pulls off the upset, their last games are Illinois at home and Michigan State, which are probably the big team's two worst teams, plus a very mediocre Minnesota. They could lose to Minnesota and still win the division easily with a tiebreaker over Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Indiana's three touchdown underdog at Ohio State. That's a tall order, but we believe in our Hoosiers. The bad news is they also have to play Wisconsin. But if they were to beat Ohio State, Maryland, and Purdue, they'd win the east outright. Here's where it gets fun, right? So because the Big Ten knew there'd be all sorts of weird schedule, postpones, cancellations, and so forth. Twenty-twenty-tidebreaker rule is to win a division. You have to play at least six conference games.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Northwestern and Indiana are about to play their fifth each, so they were very likely to be eligible. Wisconsin's only played two games. Wisconsin, Wisconsin, if they lost, if they had another game canceled, would not be eligible then, right? Yeah, not by rule. And they don't have any time really to make it up. Right. So, like, if Wisconsin has one more game canceled, then Northwestern makes it virtually no matter what happens on Saturday. Like, it might be likely that Northwestern wins the West because this game might not matter at all.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Indiana Ohio State's played three games So you'd need like multiple cancellations there But that's feasible there as well So Not only are we two upsets away So you're telling me You're telling me the football season That Nebraska and Ohio State
Starting point is 00:17:47 And Penn State to some extent Well let's not leave them out Although they've gracefully accident on their own That they fought so hard to say we must have this We need football The result of So that could be Northwestern and Indiana backing their way in, like early club housing their way into a Big Ten championship match. That's right.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Cool. But it can get even dumber, all right? Oh, God. Because I would like to, I would like to select this door. Dungeon Master. Would you like to know more? Would you like to go further? Dungeon Master, I am rolling to pass through the door immediately.
Starting point is 00:18:26 So above the board, we are two upsets away from an almost. guaranteed Northwestern Indiana Big Ten title game, possibly, and if they managed to get their undefeated, there'd be a playoff spot on the line. But we're a few cancellations away from an undefeated Wisconsin and an undefeated Ohio State missing the Big Ten title game, which would probably mean Northwestern in Indiana playing for a spot in the Rose Bowl. If you have a five in Ohio State beating a five and O'O Wisconsin in the Big Ten's third place game, remember that's a thing this year. Oh, God. Six and O Ohio State goes to the playoff. This means the streak of Ohio State being directly involved in the playoff committee's
Starting point is 00:19:09 biggest controversy of the year extends to all seven years of the playoff. This is on the table. Remember, 2014 at TCU Baylor, Ohio State. There was a year Ohio State didn't win the conference and got to go. There was a year the opposite happened. Last year, Ohio State wanted to be number once. They could avoid Clemson. This year, you could have them cruising.
Starting point is 00:19:30 into the playoff with a glorious, gleaming, you know, 5 and 06 and 0 record. It's all possible. Is that the giant red shiny button that blows up the whole universe, Jason, so to speak? I don't know. I mean. I would like to press it. Oh, yeah. In that sense, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:49 In that sense, hammer it. Yeah. Couple that with Cincinnati, like, that's right there in Ohio with Luke Fickle, formerly of Ohio State, like, if you're telling me that Jason is positing the world where 6 and O Ohio State leapfrogs 11-0 Cincinnati for the last playoff spot, yes, that is, yeah. Yeah, and I mean, well, like, the playoff committee is going to look and they're going to see Ohio State beat six power five teams. I'm going to need Cincinnati, right?
Starting point is 00:20:21 Because, like, we know those wins count half in their mind, and we know FCS wins count for nothing in their mind. So it's only like, they're really three and a half an hour or something. Yeah, and at that point it comes down to eyeball tests. Well, nobody ever beats Ohio State an eyeball test. Well, here's the tricky thing, though. Those eyeballs will have had to watch Ohio State play Michigan State, Michigan, and Illinois in the last month of the season. And those eyeballs might, like, hate Ohio State for making them watch those other teams.
Starting point is 00:20:51 What, for saying 150 to 10 sum total in those games? I'm sorry. Should have made a tougher schedule. Sorry. Yeah, I mean, granted, I would love to see the scheduling argument that afflicts teams in the AAC, Mountain West, et cetera, applied to a picked-in team that manages, you know, only a third of an actual schedule. It seems unlikely, but. The volcanic anger at Cincinnati making a hypothetical playoff and not Ohio State. Oh, I tremble. I tremble at the delight that I would experience watching that happen because I'm a bad person and it would be happy. So I disagree.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I think I think you have inadvertently become a good person on this subject. Yeah. I mean, if Cincinnati plays twice as many games. that seems like the fair choice what I'm saying what I'm saying is I would guess Ohio State makes it right like we can root for Cincinnati to make it in that case because that would be the right thing but we all know how this works
Starting point is 00:22:12 yeah I just I don't think Spencer's a bad person for wanting Cincinnati there are other reasons so many other reasons yeah yeah yeah yeah that's but but the client but imagine this what if they beat they still have to play Illinois, correct? Ohio State? Yeah. Yes, they do. So what if they...
Starting point is 00:22:31 Brother, you can't cancel the Illa Buck. What if, yeah, the I'll... What if they only win... They tried, and the Turtle just turned into bronze. What if they only win the Illabuck by like two points in the ugliest game? Sure. If it's like, Ohio State under the microscope,
Starting point is 00:22:48 in the spotlight against Illinois, should be a layup game. And Lovie turns it to some horrible. horrible 2219 game that they only win by a field goal. I mean, the team that should do this and probably can't or won't, like Michigan State, that's their true destiny, right? To just drag Ohio State into some sort of high gravity mud pit of a game and be like, we're playing first to 11.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Now take off your shirt. And then also you got the game against Michigan. Now, granted, that sounds funny. Michigan's been down, but we haven't seen what their interim coaches are capable of. Last game of the year, who knows what they'll pull out once. Who would be? You know who is out of the way. I'm going to look at the coaching list because I'm curious who would that would be.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I like that you're just sure that's going to happen. Oh, there's another hardball on the rock. Oh, wow. That's off. That's horrible. There's J. Bob Shoop. It's got to be Bob Shoop, right?
Starting point is 00:23:55 No, no, Bob Shoup's over at, well, Bob Shoups, they quietly were like, Bob Shub's not here. Well, Michigan's own website is out of date. Yeah, that's fair. You got Ed Warriner. He could do it. You got Ben McDaniels. This is rough.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Interim coach Jane Koston. That's who's going to step in. Finally. Finally, they get the person for the job. Jane steps in, runs the all-PI offense. Yeah. I do think it would- 5-0 Ohio State out of the playoff.
Starting point is 00:24:35 I do think it would be funny if Jim Harbaugh, like, decided to step down on his own and was like, and I'm giving the head coaching job to my son, Jay Harbaugh. Here he is. Good luck. That's absolutely what's about to happen at Iowa, right? Yes. I mean, that's what they're going to attempt to do, at least. Cool.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah, and then the boosters are going to throw them out. What if Jim Harbaugh step down and tried to give the job to John Harbaugh? Why would John Harbaugh do that? John Harbaugh makes like $7 million a year, and he doesn't have to recruit. Yeah, right. If Jim Harbaugh says, I hereby bequeath to the job to my brother, John. And John says, you got Lamar Jackson there? Can you bring him with him? Does he have any eligibility left?
Starting point is 00:25:27 I am also, by the way, thrilled about the potential Northwestern Indiana matchup because it is as close as we're going to get to my favorite thing, which would be the conference championship game that features not one, but both of the perennial dormats of the conference. For instance, in the SEC, I think that this would look something like Mississippi State Fandy. if we ever ended up with a Mississippi State Vandy SEC championship game, that's what this would be. It's comparable to that. Here's a thing. Can you and nobody help them, please? Spencer, when is the last time Northwestern made the Big Ten championship?
Starting point is 00:26:07 Three years ago? Yeah, two years ago. Yeah, yeah, two years ago. 2018. So that's the only problem with that is that Northwestern has been here not that long ago. Yeah. yeah and so so i so i so i think it's maybe like arkansas is maybe the better i if you tell me it's arkansas van okay i can go with that no arkansas has made the c c championship game
Starting point is 00:26:32 multiple right that's that's why i'm that's why i'm saying let's no it's better is more of the arkansas yeah yeah is there anybody out of the west is oh oh this is painful you know it's never like only made the big 12 championship game i think once and then has never made the SEC game so far Texas A&M it's Texas A&M like like their compatriots in the great transfer from the big 12th of the SEC Mizzou missou's been there twice I believe since they've come over and Texas A&M should have fought to get in the east mostly because it would have been funny but also because it would have been smarter for them I just really wish they would have been like we're not signing shit unless you promise us a spot where we belong
Starting point is 00:27:17 the SEC East. Put Texas A&M in the West and give us Auburn. Let's just go ahead and make it multi-ball and establish an SECTral. There we go. Yeah, throw Alabama and Auburn in that. Make a West category. Yeah, let's just completely mess this up. I like this also because it will further enrage like Louisville and Cincinnati
Starting point is 00:27:37 because what we're basically doing is reconstructing the Big East. Yeah. So let's make the SEC East, the SEC West, and the SEC Central. and when everybody's like okay well how does the conference championship work we're like it's very easy you break a pool queue the top team in the east and the top team in the west play each other and the cc central is like wait what you're like i think i was very clear have a great day i like this uh this is basically our pods idea if we keep it going um can we have an cc south and then have an cc north and have like everyone very ashamed to be included
Starting point is 00:28:16 in the SEC north. Sure. You know. My daddy would be ashamed of me being in the SEC north. But every time the SEC South tries to make a cheer, we're doing like the Jonah Hill throat cutting gift. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:28:30 No. Easy. Easy. Back off there, Tiger. But like that says something like, I know the SEC championship game has been around longer than any other conference championship game. However. And it's older, so therefore better as we learned from the Big Ten.
Starting point is 00:28:45 That's right. Right, just like people. The older, the better. That 97-year-old... Just like Stalin. Just like the Queen of England. Yes. It's better with age.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Bigger and stronger. Are y'all all... She's... Man, I'm completely derailed by that. The Queen is... The Queen could deadlift 758 pounds. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Because she's had more training... She's grown to 90 feet tall by now. That's right. I've been lifted cargies all day. What is that accent? What the fuck? Scottish as hell. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Is that Hugh Freeze again? Why did you make her Scrooge McDuck? She's Scrooge McDuck! She's powerful! Curse me! Kiltz! I'm the Queen of England! She got unhappy with you, Wigling! Stop yelling! I like this version.
Starting point is 00:29:37 The Pac-12s, I think you have to go with Oregon State Cal. Wow. Wait, did you just pick? two teams from the same division? Did you? I wouldn't know. How the hell do you keep them straight? I mean, it's mostly accurate north-south. It's Cal is Cal is in the north?
Starting point is 00:29:59 Yeah, Cal's in the north. I've heard that about them. I mean, I would say Arizona would be the weakest choice out of the south, but Arizona has been there. Arizona's rattlesnakes. Yeah, they've got rattlesnakes and copper. And the Pack 12 South is like, hey, we're like, equality. Everyone's just as good as everyone else.
Starting point is 00:30:18 How good is that? Yeah, I think that's what I did in my brain. The weakest team out of the Pact 12 South is Texas Tech. Yeah, that's fine. Lubbock. It's practically West Coast. I think I subbed in Cal just because looking at the actual South teams, like all of them make it every now and then.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Colorado has been there, you know? Like, honestly, everybody in the SEC West has made the game except for Texas A&M. Everybody. Arkansas has been there. Alabama's been there. Auburn's been there. Just the whole, just the whole division. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:30:50 What, old miss? Has oldness ever been to the SEC? Old Miss has never been in the SCG. Yeah, they've never. You don't remember this from a couple years ago? This is why this is why that. This is why that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Yeah. Hi, Alex McDaniel. Are you out there? Please don't hurt me. What a, babe. She's way too, way too smart to listen to this podcast. What a scorching burn on the program that is. They're like, well, Mississippi stays put into the title game.
Starting point is 00:31:16 So you know how many Ole Miss fans this entire time were thinking? Few, they forgot about us for like the last 10 minutes. They thought they may have been overcoming. Meanwhile, the Indiana fans are like, so are they ever going to talk about no? Okay. Man, we talk about Indiana every week. That's true. Speaking of which, I had a really unpleasant realization this week.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Oh, I thought this was the home field ad. It is. Oh, cool. This is a good way to make money. Goddammit on Spencer. I'm starting it with the language you want. It's fun, isn't it? No.
Starting point is 00:31:54 So I grew up in Florida, and I don't think I saw snow. All right, this is getting worse. I don't think I saw snow until I was like 11 or 12 years old. When I moved to New York, I was woefully unprepared for the cold. Like, in the sense of like, I was like, you don't need gloves. That's what pockets are for. And I, like, have never been a cold weather person. or so I thought because a couple of weeks ago when the weather had that like brief turn back into warm I walked outside and I thought to myself ugh why is it warm again I want to wear my sweatshirts and that's the kind of person I am now and I wasn't like that until homefield apparel came along because homefield apparel makes these sweatshirts in all sorts of cool designs from
Starting point is 00:32:46 colleges you love, colleges you've heard of, colleges you've never heard of, whatever. And they put them onto the comfort, the most comfortable, coziest, cuddliest, like just most pleasant sweats you could possibly wear to the point where me, a person who's basically always running at like idling car hot temperature, that even I am like, I would like the weather to be cold enough so that I can wear a sweatshirt around. I just got in the mail recently. I got a good rice owl's hoodie with the, um, the super bug-eyed rice owl who's sort of like, what are you, a cop? You got to tell me if you're a cop. Yep. Uh, I got the good Colorado State throwback logo. I got the, oh, the one that looks like a ruin. Yes. I love that one. That might
Starting point is 00:33:43 That might be my favorite home field shirt I've gotten this year is that dark green Colorado State sweatshirt with the orange logo. Like it's kind of Halloweeny, but not like overtly satanic. Maybe. I don't know the history of Colorado state. It's sort of druidish. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It's in that lawyer. Man, I'm so glad we're back to druids. Right? Yeah. 2020. Thanks druids. Back to druids.
Starting point is 00:34:06 So, so yeah, like I don't know how to feel about it. I mean, on the one hand, props to homefield for making. clothes that are so comfortable that they have changed my perspective on weather itself on the other hand now I'm a like pro cold weather guy in a world that's warming and is just going the opposite direction for me so I have to work all that out on my own you don't have to worry about my problems instead you can make your life a little better when you use the offer code full cast you get 20% off your first order you can get the very same Druid Rune Colorado State sweatshirt you can get the bugger guide rice owl um you can get uh holly you've got this san diego state as tech one i've got ones
Starting point is 00:34:51 that go outside of football even my other favorite besides those two you just mentioned is the i've got the baby blue heather market basketball hoodie who which i absolutely love i've got the uh kind of dark uh kind of midnight blue heather utah state one that i just love yeah there there's like the options are they're almost too many options at this point I probably shouldn't say that but it's true I'm I'm pulling this up because I have a note that I keep on my computer in my notes app called the homefield get list right and I have at this point well over 20 home field shirts I'm going to count keep talking I'm going to count how many more are on my wish list I mean the important
Starting point is 00:35:33 thing is that you can go to homefield dot it's homefield apparel.com and you can put sad husky in quotes into the search bar and results will come for you and I don't mean one result I mean like three we're talking sad husky sweats sweatshirt shirt sad husky baseball tea um sad husky t-shirt sad husky joggers there are 39 additional home field shirts that I would like to add big noon Saturday was bad to my wallet uh and it's going to get worse because there are 39 additional shirts that I want. Have you, I assume you've told Homefield about all of these.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Or is just like a vision board? This is, this is like a vision board. This is just like shirts that I want to buy on my next, you know, on my next lope through Homefield's website. Okay, so let's, let's add one to it that's not there and let's all focus our energy on this. Spencer already said it.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Say it one more time, Spencer. You know I wasn't going to remember what you needed to do. Sad Husky. joggers. Sad husky joggers. If we can get a sad husky face on each cheek, I will absolutely wear those. I'd take it on a hip.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It's not going to be... It would be okay on it. I would actually like it on a hip if it was huge, like a basketball warm-up logo. I'd take it right on the codpiece. Right on the jug. I'm sure you would. Here's what we really want. We want a pattern of it. Oh, like hounds too. Like a golf pant.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Literal hound statured. Sad tooth. Your leg in sad huskies. Wait, somebody did this for us last year and after Bama lost. Oh, I made that. Oh, well, that was you. Okay, I thought that was a reader. Have the sad pork pie hat with the hounds tooth that's just tiny sad huskies.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yeah, I did that. It's wonderful. So, yeah, Homefield, we're, we're, these are all free ideas. And if you don't take them, you're losing money, Homefield apparel. Now it's an ad about you in the other direction. We're not Homefield's only podcast anymore, so we might get away with this for a few days. Damn. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:47 It's okay. You'll never forget your first. On the subject of losing money and things that are bad for your wallets, we have set up an ecosystem here, all right? Homefield takes your money. That's good. You get stuff for it. But you need to save more money, right? For more grays, for more gray hoodies of shirts you did not attend.

Starting point is 00:39:02 I meant schools you did not attend, not shirts that you did not attend. We have attended every shirt. That's true. Sorry about the ad. I would like to make it up to the Indiana fans who we have not talked about, Indiana football, by noting the following. From 1985 to 1993, Indiana beat Northwestern nine straight times. And in six of those games, Northwestern did not score more than single digits. This is squarely in the time where Northwestern football was more of a friendly suggestion than an active developmental.
Starting point is 00:39:39 process, but still it is worth noting that for a stretch for like Spencer's middle school years probably elementary. Elementary middle okay, yeah. He was working at the garage by that point.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Young Spencer Hall grew up in a time when Indiana absolutely owned Northwestern's ass. Yeah, and look how he's doing today. Thriving, my friends. thriving listen if your life was tied to either the fortunes of indiana or northwestern football
Starting point is 00:40:17 that you were damned in ways that we couldn't really possibly imagine or quantify that's true might pay off in heaven sure i hear i'm just saying like maybe heaven works out we're gonna know maybe it's sort of like the oregon trail where it's like oh you were born uh i don't know an Alabama fan, that's like being the banker. You better have been a very good person. You were born a Northwestern fan. That's like being a farmer. You only have to be kind of good. Is that like being an unbaptized infant? Yeah, I guess. I guess. I'm trying. My Dante's a bit rusty. I really don't think Dante was at any point concerned with Indiana or Northwestern football. I thought you weren't there.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Source? The circle, honestly, the circles of hell are just an advanced tie-breaking procedure, if you think about it. I mean, when Dante goes down there, what is he doing, investigative journalism, on the scene reporting, right? Clearly a midilgrad. Yeah, he's describing the assholes he hates and the horrible things that are happening to them. It's a little bit coincidental that all of Dante's personal enemies are having the worst things in the history of the universe happening to them. But he's only reporting the facts. There's no editorializing.
Starting point is 00:41:35 he takes no pleasure in it the inferno is and I'm sorry for the pun but it's unavoidable clearly Dante's burner account wow yeah yeah I'm sitting in silent reverie right now at the wordplay good stay that way
Starting point is 00:41:51 absolutely will not I will forget it in 30 seconds you're my third cat this is the week ahead and I'm warning you ha ha yes it's only i don't have a good sickos yet i haven't i haven't quite landed on a good sickos yet it is for degenerates only and i know
Starting point is 00:42:16 ryan is ryan and jason are both going to look at this and go how is this different than the rest of the season it might be a step below in terms of competitive likelihood and quality from even the rest of this COVID-19 rec season, from even the rest of this completely lopsided arrangement that we currently have in terms of schedule, it's bad, which means it might be really good. If we start the bar super low, inevitably,
Starting point is 00:42:50 even this week might be able to hop over the degraded expectations that we've made for it. So with that, I'm going to do everybody of favor and just keep dropping it. We're going to take that bar. We're going to take it solo because I'm just going to
Starting point is 00:43:05 I'm going to like I actually wrote these notes down for the game. All right? This week features Alabama, Kentucky, which I summarized as Iowa at Penn State. I'm okay, I'll say it.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I'm looking forward to Alabama, Kentucky on a schematic. level. Fine. I am fascinated by every Penn State game. I am glued into everything Penn State does from here on out. They are they in Michigan are co-siccos game of the week until they meet, at which point the sickos will be unified with the team that loses that game. Iowa at Penn State, I am, yeah, I'm dialed in for that. We've made this joke before, but Jason, is this sicko-ween? Are you ready to call it? Um, I mean, if Penn State loses Iowa in Michigan, you can lose this to Rutgers.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Good grief, yeah. I mean... I agree with Jason because Penn State started out like it was like watching a golfer be like, oh, he's going to double bogey this hole. It's not that interesting, but now it's like, wow, they've got a 10 and they're not even on the green.
Starting point is 00:44:15 This is amazing. They might never leave this hole. Penn State might live on the seventh for a week. Yeah, this is Phil Mickelson is on the interstate right now. on a moving truck that he put his ball on he caught it he's going to try to tee off to another truck headed the other direction Spencer you are allotted two seconds to discuss Florida Vanderbilt Florida Vanderbilt stop no that's it stop
Starting point is 00:44:42 no like the 2016 dollar general bowl let's go move it along to the better game that's next on the list Michigan Rodgers yeah yeah this is actually the bizarre version of the first football game ever played, Rutgers, Princeton. Because it's the... Wait, Michigan's not an Ivy. I can't believe you
Starting point is 00:45:05 said that out loud. They don't even have a tiger. What is this shit? They have Princeton's helmets. Do we have a tiger? Oh, okay. So it's stolen valor first football game. It is. It's stolen. It's the stolen valor remix.
Starting point is 00:45:23 The first football game ever played. Franklin brand Princeton. Great value Princeton. Michigan man should appreciate a great value. Like Jim Harbaugh. What's one step below a prince? A duke. No, it's a duke.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Is it a duke? So instead of Princeton, Michigan is dukton? Oh, I really wanted to say it. Viscounting. I don't know. Can it be a Duke if it's outside the ACC? Shout out to the mayonnaise bowl. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Can it be a Duke if it doesn't turn out white supremacists? Oh, that's so funny because I actually said Duke is outside the A. thinking about the mayonnaise and not about the institution named Duke. Also, Anne Coulter went to Michigan, so like... Oh, wow, God, man.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Wow! So, I mean, she couldn't get into an Ivy? Ah! Oh, boy. I'm glad that we went this way. So, like, the Unabomber went to Michigan, and that's like, ah, well, you know, you can't win them all. But Anne Coulter, I'm like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Everybody. Everybody cites the Unabomber like, that's a bad thing. Well, I mean, it's, it's pretty bad. He just, yeah. He just like camping. Buddy. So, so let's go ahead and just mark down the apology for the next episode. The Unabomber loved Joseph Stalin to her eyes.
Starting point is 00:46:43 He had a brochure. I agree. He had a brochure. Listen, it's not like we have a problem with a lone wolf right wing terrorists right now in this country and I don't see why Spencer should have to apologize for shit. Jason, I'm going to ask the question that I already
Starting point is 00:47:03 regret, what is the line on Michigan Rutgers? Last I looked, it was Michigan by eight. Oh, that's squeaky. Really? Really? So the computers are all over
Starting point is 00:47:17 the place on this one. I've seen it as high as 20 and as low and lower than eight. Ryan, Ryan, you're not a wagering person. No, I don't bet on sports. You're not a wagering person. I know Jason's eye will at least wander to the hypothetical notion of putting money on this. When you see eight, do you kind of want to pull the trigger?
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah, I had, so I had Michigan minus eight as a consideration, but I struck it after further review. Because you're not an idiot. Well, it's, it's, I think Michigan is a decent bet. but Rutgers is going to try hard as shit. Rutgers under Greg Chiano is obnoxious, which a little surprised there. But they're going to throw out 8,000 trick plays. Michigan is going to get all frustrated and flustered.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Yeah, the numbers say Michigan's the smart play, but life's about more than numbers, ain't it? Wait, where is this game again? Piscataway, New Jersey. Oh. A short New Jersey train ride away from Metals. Life Stadium where maybe somebody could go for a quick little job interview with the Jets. We got a chance to come home with a loss and a rash, is what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 00:48:37 I would really, God, eight. I'm most stunned, by the way, in this game, by the season long streak of Rutgers and Greg Shiano, by extension, being compelling and fun. I know when they get- You don't have to say fun. Yeah, no. When they get good at things, they'll stop trying to be interesting. Their football players have been fun.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Greg Shiano sucks, but Rutgers and athletes on the field have been fun. Yeah. Yeah, Rutgers players have had a blast this year. I feel pretty safe. Pretty safe saying that. Okay. At least on the field. So that I'm not totally used to.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Okay. Because in this game, if you watch the two teams, the one that will be way more likable in terms of what they do on the field. how much fun they have doing it. Oh, it's going to be Rutgers. And that's going to feel odd. Yeah. You're going to be right there with me.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Rutgers has nothing to lose. Nothing. A lot to lose. Starting with the football game. The game. Michigan has a lot to keep losing. And eight points. Eight points to cover.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Here's the weird situation. If you are a Michigan fan who is over Jim Harbaugh, who wants it to be done, what is the outcome you're, rooting for in this game that's a great question ryan finish us off gregg do it hit an artery i mean just a couple of years i'm going to new jersey to get it over with just yeah exactly why don't you go just like alexander hamilton yep there's a reference michigan grans look at yeah not now you see your situation michigan because here's what i think the funniest thing Michigan could do for the rest of the year.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Michigan grads are really Jeffersonians at heart. Now I'm going to get some emails. Wow. Lose to Wreckers, lose to Penn State, lose to Maryland, beat Ohio State. For the first time in this of all seasons,
Starting point is 00:50:37 finally beat Ohio State, and then look around and be like, God damn it, we got to keep them now, don't we? God damn. For the first time in for me... I have asked every Michigan fan
Starting point is 00:50:50 I know this question this week. Yeah. If you beat, Ohio State if yeah all all two of them and it's actually like birds and actually it's like it's like seven um I talked about I'm when I'm fielding his restraining order requests against Godfrey it's good that you Godfrey doesn't listen to this show so it's okay it's good that you can be a bridge between them yeah I've asked all of them and all of them responded with the same answer to
Starting point is 00:51:21 if you lost the rest of your games but beat Ohio State does Harbaugh keep his job and the answer is yes can we even root for that because I think that would be optimal for all of us from a comedic standpoint
Starting point is 00:51:33 that's perfect also then you've knocked three in Ohio State out of the playoff oh that's delicious goodness gracious me I got to admit that's a really good outcome
Starting point is 00:51:48 that is a spicy meataball as they say in Rutgers did I say that right the country of Rutgers um there's a there's a I don't think this is on your list but I feel compelled to point out that uh if Liberty beats NC State they will have swept all of their ACs all three of their ACC games this year and I think based on that alone we should deny the ACC any playoff spot yeah not a single one that's totally fine
Starting point is 00:52:23 not for Notre Dame not for Clemson nobody god you really hate to see this for a long time ACC stalwart Notre Dame yeah I mean this is Protestant's knocking Catholics out of the playoff that happens finally a use for liberty interesting
Starting point is 00:52:37 Martin Luther smiles from beyond the grave masturbating from beyond the grave what the hell he fucking sucked I'm a Protestant but I'm going to say it anyway. Martin Luther's son. No, no, I wasn't, I wasn't caping up
Starting point is 00:52:55 from Martin Luther. I'm just like, do I have to think about him jacking it? You don't have to. No. I'm just going to sit quiet. It's hard to avoid, Ryan. It's hard to avoid once you said it. I'm just going to sit quietly till I come up with something more upsetting. Martin Luther did say
Starting point is 00:53:11 that women have a wide fundament and are narrow in the shoulders so that blood can't get to their brains. That's why men were smarter. I'm glad Martin Luther's dead. Jesus. Did he go to Florida State? Is it a fundament?
Starting point is 00:53:28 A fundament. So he's down there thinking about the wide fundaments? What kind of trapezoidal women is my son? I love my plump, Romless wife. That was, that's it. Like Martin Luther was. Narrow shoulders, that does sound like a lot of Yankee women, I know, but not with the big Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah, I was like, why? No, like, I just think he was like, but they're all perfectly triangular. Every. Well, I mean, Martin Luther was Martin Luther Particle Man? Boy, she got a body like Bill Seifer. I mean, we know he's not good at shapes.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Look at his haircut. Martin, you're married to a hookah. I think you should know. God, what an ultimate shitpost would be like, I have married to a hookah would have made him maybe more chill. I have a 95 point thesis I would like you to read Oh god
Starting point is 00:54:24 I'm gonna post on your On your door Just the Catholic church issuing a Hey I ain't reading all that I'm sorry that happened to you Or happy Or happy that it did But I ain't reading all that
Starting point is 00:54:36 Jesus is up there pointing down And looking around at all the apostles And being like Apologies to this man I ain't reading all that This motherfucker said thread One of 95 That's it.
Starting point is 00:54:49 One of 94. Oh, good Lord. What's weird is that 92 is all about Tom Herman and why he can't succeed at Texas. Well, he was onto something there. Yeah. I'm following that thread, to be honest. Once you get far enough in there, he starts making points. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:04 You just got to stick with it. It's like Parks and Rec. Skip the first season. Sure. Martin Luther understood one thing that I think a lot of true reply guys today don't get. and that is that if you really, really are living the life and walking in the spirit
Starting point is 00:55:21 of the reply guy, you don't need anything to reply to, brother, it's all in your heart. Mm-hmm. It's all right there. Just let it out. Yeah, let it out. On to a door. Yep. That's right. Now we're talking about druids again. Yep. Shouts out to the druids.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Doing good work in 2020. Shows out to all of our druidic listeners far in near. Yeah, also, by the way. druids are really fucking up in 2020 why i mean now let's go long on this shouldn't things be going better if i mean you don't know that they're not going great for the druids yeah man don't question the druid did druid plan okay so there's a there's a long game here this could be like the holiday druids do not exactly have a long history of not being xenophobic yeah maybe maybe somebody went to the druids and was like please there's too many vehicular deaths and they were like
Starting point is 00:56:15 okay, got to solve. So we should have just termed it better. Yeah. You ever went to the druids. Yeah. This is the what you wishcast for. This is the holiday conversation where normally you figure out, you find out that maybe your brother-in-law's
Starting point is 00:56:29 done really well with like, hey, listen, you got to get into pharmaceuticals this quarter. Like your brother-in-law is like, yo, listen, the druids, they've been doing good work. Man, if I had the opportunity to see my family at Thanksgiving and I don't, this is exactly the kind of shit
Starting point is 00:56:45 that I would start doing to keep them from talking about PizzaGate. I'm just going to go straight to Ruids. I'm going to get here. Here's a perfect example on the schedule of like, be careful what you wish for. Back in like May, when there's no football anyway and when it's like, I don't know if there's going to be a season at all,
Starting point is 00:57:04 people on Twitter will pop up and they'll be like, oh, I'd watch a Virginia Tech pit game right now. Well, motherfucker, it's on this weekend. Let's see you turn it into ACC network at 3 o'clock. Let's see you want it. The feces of this schedule have been nailed to the door of our brains with like a monkey's paw. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:24 The people I really want to see dialed in for all 16 hours of college football Saturday is everybody who clamored for there to be a season, who, you know, and everyone who has ever typed the word Corona Bros, you better be logged in for all 15 hours on Saturday. Is that how you say that? This is what you asked for, isn't it? coronabros coronabras that's how they type that shit it's the dumbest thing I'm going to be two words
Starting point is 00:57:52 are these like are these like Vin Diesel fans it's like a Greek bond villain yeah welcome to my island Mr. Brock I have Costa's Coronabras well they do expect us to die
Starting point is 00:58:05 the K-pop fans you know how they reclaim every hashtag we can do that with Corona Bross and yeah just just make it all about Fast and Furious one I got to think if Korean teens really wanted to, they could put together a team and defeat the druids.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think so. Whoa. Man, the druids ain't shit. Oh, shit. Jason Kirk said that, not me. Wow. See what happens.
Starting point is 00:58:31 You can reach him at Bud Elliott on Twitter. What can they do to me that Florida Vanderbilt can't? Yeah. I thought we weren't talking about it, Jason. You really can't beat them for stylish clothes. I said Spencer had two seconds. to talk about it oh no then i then i used my then i used my two seconds to talk about it nice attorneying ryan speaking of piece of speaking of speaking of speaking of speaking of
Starting point is 00:58:57 hey ryan ryan did you see how rudy juliani did in court today i did oh did you happen to read i didn't i didn't please tell me it's bad and i asked you to please tell me because there's at least two ls in that sentence it's very much bad like He hadn't done court stuff in like 28 years. Well, like he hadn't been in federal courts. For the third show in a row, what? Like, it's hard? You know, you, apparently it is. Rudy had a tough day.
Starting point is 00:59:25 You know that part. Oh, wait. Is this the thing where I saw like six people in my timeline at once going that I learned that in the second week of law school? Is that who they were talking about? Yeah. Oh, sweet. Okay. Yeah. Anyway, what's-the judge is like explaining shit to Rudy while telling him why it's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm going to give you a quote. And do you know who's, if the druids are having a bad year, do you all know who is having a great year? Judges. I'm going to go ahead and give you this quote. For good and extreme evil. The judge at one point was so confused by a test that Giuliani wanted to use to evaluate a particular piece of evidence or argument and said, by what standard do you wish me to evaluate this argument? And Rudy Giuliani in a court of law looked up at him and goes, the usual one. I didn't go to law school
Starting point is 01:00:15 I would have come in I would have come in and Stone Cold stunned him for saying that okay I don't actually know this where did Rudy Giuliani go to school NYU I think Ryan it's not my fault
Starting point is 01:00:30 come get your boy I want you to remember that Rudy Giuliani took down like the New York Mafia and this makes me think that the do you know how dumb the mafia That's what they mean. That was like they had to be complete dumb asses. This lowers my estimation of organized crime.
Starting point is 01:00:48 How organized could you have been? Turns out it's not that organized. Now here's the punchline. Giuliani is being paid $20,000 a day to do this. The best part is he set up his lifestyle to where that isn't anything. That's barely going to cover his toilet paper expenses. Montana landowner Rudy Giuliani. Basically what Rudy Giuliani did in court was.
Starting point is 01:01:09 occasionally you'll see somebody go on the price is right and they will bid on something where you don't know the exact price but you know the number they just said is wildly wrong in one direction or another where it's like and you're going to bid on this this RV and they're like $8,000 and you're like oh my god what are you talking about no it's not $8,000 what's wrong with you that's what Rudy Giuliani did, except, you know, in the legal process that's holding up, I don't know, just all of federal government. What's Rudy Giuliani's job again right now? Nighttime manager, four seasons, totally.
Starting point is 01:01:49 No, I mean, what is his actual job? Cybersecurity czar? I don't think he has, I don't think he has, I don't think he's ever had a formal job in the administration. They put him in charge of cybersecurity at some point. He is, he is a cybersecurity advisor. Oh, that's like a Nick Sabin analyst. okay secretary of memes got if you're a judge by the way do you just let him go for a minute
Starting point is 01:02:11 just to see how much like line he'll take out on this for the rest of your life yeah you're like listen i'm on i'm on the clock until five listen i got i got to hear like patent cases after this for the next four months do you just ask him unrelated questions like me big fellow like hey listen can you explain to me orbital mechanics i just want to hear what your answer to this is just start throwing out things problem with kids today yeah How did Princess Diana die? Why don't you tell me that Rudy Giuliani? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:02:42 No. How did that really happen? So? No. Listen, I'm not an S&L person. Kate McKinnon as Rudy, the Saturday after the election, was fucking deranged and one of the most beautiful moments of television I've ever seen. Here's one more moment from Giuliani in court today.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Quote from NPR. was introducing evidence, Giuliani noted that he had once been a law clerk and he hoped he was handling the evidence correctly. In case I need a job after this, he told the court. Yeah, I'm sorry mayor of 9-11 isn't a job, Rudy, but, you know, neither is blogger, really, so we're not so different. Mayor of 9-11 is very much a, that's not stable employment. That's a freelance type thing. That's a gig. um real quick i'm still mad about martin luther all right what games have we not gotten to we talked about texas at kansas we have not we no okay this game tickles me but it tickles me like on the
Starting point is 01:03:45 taint is that a thing wow only you can say but yeah i don't like it tickles me but not in a good not it just kind of itches uh not itches the gooch game of the week yeah that's kind of what i'm You know that thing where one of us says something, and Holly, like, you can hear the horror on her face? Well, no, I just, I feel my feelings for this game, and they're not coming from my butthole, but it's right there. Is it possible that you actually are Spencer now? Have you two, have you freaky Friday? We've been spending a lot of time together, and neither one of us is particularly happy about that. I was just, before we got to discussions of the grundle, I just, wait, what's a gruntle? And rock, jock, Jayhawk.
Starting point is 01:04:32 I wanted to get to the question, which is, do you think the longhorns could pull off the upset? It's not even funny this year because Kansas is so bad. Man, they're so bad. Why didn't you just buy less miles a boat? Who's that one dude who says we're cyberbullying Kansas every time we talk about Kansas? It doesn't matter. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Yeah, no. Kansas football fan. Yeah, I don't know. Less Miles. No, fan. You know, Les Miles is not a phase.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Like, why would I watch Kansas football? Jesus. You'd have to pay me to do that, which they do. But they're very laxed about checking what I'm actually watching. I would bet less like leaves just checks uncashed. He doesn't have direct deposit. Like,
Starting point is 01:05:19 I bet less is just like, well, I got all these checks. Less strikes me as a person who's like in a conservatorship of some kind, like Brittany. Just one of the many things. they have in common. It's Leslie, bitch.
Starting point is 01:05:31 What, like, Bo Schembeckler is still running less Miles' finances? Yes. Yep. Yeah. The ghost Schembeckler, just sitting there with the green eye shade next to him going,
Starting point is 01:05:41 fuck, last, Jesus. You got to spend less on vegan smoothies. Stop buying undented cans, you dip shit. The contents are perfectly fine. I can't think of a worse way for the Tom Herman era. And Texas, then another loss to them. Oh, is the ending? This is the only thing that I am confident.
Starting point is 01:06:05 The other ones, maybe, this one, no. Kansas is not, Kansas is not a functional football team this year. Yeah, but Tom Herman is capable of playing down to anyone's level. I don't think they'll lose to Kansas, but it might be. At halftime, are we going to be dog, like bird dogging it? Like, it's 10-7. No. I mean, Tom Herman is capable of anything.
Starting point is 01:06:28 it's so extreme this year yeah um i think u s to utah if it happens if u s utah happens it could be your standard intriguing game with the utah team which means getting hit in the face and still winning that so that could happen i think this is one of a few games that you know in addition to the um the very observable tragedies in the big ten and various other accidents throughout the country, there are things of interest since he UCF, probably since he's toughest game of the entire season. If, you know, if they look impressive against UCF, they might really have a pretty decent playoff case.
Starting point is 01:07:12 I think USC Utah could be good. USC tends to make everything dramatic, at least. You got Farmageddon. That'll get dumb. And we got Bedlam, which is usually badlam. Maybe it'll be Goodlam, but probably. And what is the line? line on that game?
Starting point is 01:07:30 It was Oklahoma by nine last I saw. And I, so for years we've said, you know, Bedlam, you never know what you're going to get. Could be OU by a lot, could be OU by a little. I have OU by a little this time. I have OSU and the points. That would be what, like Mike Cundee's fourth win over Oklahoma since he's been there? No, no.
Starting point is 01:07:50 It's not a lot. I have OU winning, but I think OU. Okay, I apologize. I'm picking Oklahoma State to beat a home. This year isn't that crazy. I apologize. I have the Cowboys making it a little competitive looking. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Serber, can we isolate Jason's Bedlam laugh as like a soundboard feature? Sure. For later on, that was beautiful. Yeah, because they're not winning. There's a sick of game nobody has mentioned here, and it really doesn't matter who's on the other side of this. But UMass is playing football again. Jesus Christ, Ryan?
Starting point is 01:08:26 Man, my butthole feels nothing about this game. I thought we eradicated that from the is there a nest that we didn't find? It's in Boca Raton, Florida. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, God.
Starting point is 01:08:39 It's so dark and moist. You know how they crossbred the orcs to bred Urukai? UMass has gotten into the palmetto bugs. So this is what the UMass schedule. We can sum it up real quickly here. They started the year, losing on the road to Georgia's southern,
Starting point is 01:08:58 41-0. Then they went on the road to Marshall and lost 5110. Now they're going to go on the road to FAU. Conservatively, let's say they'll lose by 37. And then they'll end with, yes, that's right, another road game at, yes, that's right, the Liberty Flames. Oh, fuck. Listen, I want you to put that list of locations together and the quantity and quality of the beatdowns delivered. And consider that UMass is basically a corrupt tomato can of a box. boxer who's just like, you know, I'll show up in a strip mall at Huntington, West Virginia for $700. Yeah, this is like 65-year-old of Vanderholyfield. I've got a poker tone, let an owl beat me up.
Starting point is 01:09:45 At a nude type casino. What was their final game? Where were they going? Liberty. Okay, so I'll go to some I'm going to do some sex stuff Well, all right, as long as the money's good
Starting point is 01:10:04 You say He wants to watch while I get beat down Of course Jerry Falwell school Scheduled UMass Uh huh I don't get it The final The final piece in the argument that this
Starting point is 01:10:20 weekend is actually fine Of course App State at Coast of Carolina Yeah, that's a good game. Sure. No, that's probably the best game of the weekend. Tulane at Tulsa on Thursday is going to be pretty good too, probably. Entertainment, one hot, wall-to-wall entertainment right there.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Friday, you can skip entirely. Yeah. Have you all watched, how much weeknight football do you have y'all watch this season? I think I'm good for like a game and a half. Yeah, when I, when it's the. have taken me further into the evening than they normally have due to Zoom school. But when it's when it's on, I will, I'll sack out in front of it for a little bit. I've watched, for some reason, I just have Minnesota playing a lot on week nights,
Starting point is 01:11:10 which I think they're like, I think PJ Newman was like, just get it over early in the week. Nobody's watching. Nobody needs to see this. I will say somebody tweeted us, I think, while we were recording this to say, this guy just caught a pass on the Tuesday night Maction game and it is an Akron
Starting point is 01:11:27 sophomore tight end whose name is Maverick Wolfley Ryan please look up this kid's brother's name who is also on the team I know about this because they were formerly at West Virginia they transferred I don't want to talk about it
Starting point is 01:11:45 yeah okay originally I want to talk about these two beautiful completely nominative determined Big 12 boys escaping Morgantown natives and brothers Maverick Wolfley and his brother Stone Wolfley
Starting point is 01:12:03 Stone Wolfley Stone Wolfley DDS And what do we know from the What do we know from the Bailey twins Or I'm sorry the Bailey brothers What do we know the rule? These are my sons Kevin and Silverberry There's a maverick and a stone
Starting point is 01:12:19 and then there's like a William. Now, the, that's the Bailey brothers. Yes, Stone Wolfley's West Virginia profile is still up. And it says it has two of the fall. Here are two of the bullets under personal. Uncle Ron was also a former mountaineer standout at Fullback.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Next bullet. Uncle Craig played at Syracuse and in the NFL for more than 10 years. So the only one who got out. made it to the NFL. No, Ron made it to the NFL as well. Ron was a pro, Ron was a four-time pro bowler. I like that,
Starting point is 01:12:56 I liked it like the Bayleys, there is a Ron, but this Ron was the successful one. There's a Wolfley dynasty. Good on you, Ron. Fuck. Ryan, when you said the two bullets, the first thing that went through my head was,
Starting point is 01:13:08 there was a bullet wolfling? I was thinking, there's two of them. I went off on a mental tangent of my own about personal bullets. And I'm like, well, they're personal on one end or the other. We will be adding Bullet Wolfley to the Stake Rancher series of books. I got to fight my heart in me.
Starting point is 01:13:27 The sheriff of Skull County. The bastard Bullet Wolfley. The bastard Bullet Wolfley. While we're talking about Skull County. Bullet Wolfley is now canon. Can I tell you all honest to God, the name of the holler that my mother grew up in at West Virginia? Muzzle Creek. Wow.
Starting point is 01:13:48 Wow, God, that's grizzled. I've given the listeners of this full cast pretty much enough of my ancestry information for them to steal my identity over the past two weeks. And if one of y'all doesn't at least attempt it, I'll be bitterly disappointed. Where'd you grow up, Silencer River? I'm going to give New Tennessee resident, relatively new Tennessee resident, Ryan Nanny, my favorite name in the entire state. And that is a small town. I believe it's in Rutherford County. It's a crossroads where people used to meet.
Starting point is 01:14:18 Oh, God damn it, Spencer. Meet and fight. That was the thing. This intersection was known. The Temecula of Tennessee. It was the Temecula of Tennessee. Tenmecula, if you will. It is a small junction, I believe in Rutherford County,
Starting point is 01:14:32 that is called Skullnuckle Tennessee.
