Starting point is 00:00:00 Can we put a cyber truck into Dascar? No. Okay. You'd have to drive it into the stadium in one piece. I just got here, but no. Dude, I've come around on those things. They just delight everyone everywhere they go. Like, you know, like you're at the, you're on the side of the road, whatever, you know, eating sandwiches with strangers and so forth.
Starting point is 00:00:20 You know, the thing people do. And then one goes past, and it's just like a sea of laughter. Everyone's delighted to see those fucking things. It's like seeing somebody now wearing a Taz shirt. But if the Taz shirt costs $130,000 and was uninsurable. And was on fire and, yeah. Yeah. It's like, I mean, it's like seeing just someone walk past with a sign that's like, I'm a fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And it's like, that delights everyone. It's a parade of happiness everywhere it goes. Do you know I found out you can still get Taz on your checks? That makes sense. Do you want to know how I know? America has always been great. How do you know? Because I got Tats on my checks.
Starting point is 00:01:00 once I find out this was still an option imagine signing a check for bail that's you know for your bail bond on a tas check that's perfect counselor I hold you in contempt you hold this score $500 hope you take tas checks
Starting point is 00:01:15 I have never told a joke no in my life my grandma had those on her check and she also when she had her Monte Carlo it was like that last little bit that they made until like 2002 Yeah. She had a front plate on it that said, Mommy Carlo with Taz.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Damn. Yes. Damn. I will say, if I saw a Taz-themed cyber truck, I might be on board with that. What if it had Tweety on the back in double denim? Tweety in reverse, reverse jeans, crisscross style, flipping double birds. Tweety truck nuts.
Starting point is 00:01:57 And it said, atlose Tweety, Tweetie. boys across the back all right we can we saw the cyber truck yeah we we saw one uh on the way back it was more like my third time seeing one in the wild that I'm never prepared because it looks like my brain has just gone into Firefox it looks like the computer game has not finished loading it's like I was going to say Star Fox is what you're looking for it looks like the splines are articulating it's like polygons what it's okay have you also seen any um non-silver ones yeah that's that was the one that we saw yesterday it was black like with like but it was but it was black with like caution orange piping so it kind of looked
Starting point is 00:02:41 like a dumpster it looked like a dumpster like the first ever stupid version of the coolest color i i've seen a lime green one which that was light oh wait metallic matte pearl what are we talking here all i recall is lime green and all i know is everyone just pointed and laughed just and it works it works they spread happy you're taking one for the team you look like a fucking fool and you delight the entire vicinity i'm kind of tempted to just buy one and have it loaded with nothing but the like most farcical cartoon noises for all of it yes yeah if you press the horn that plays like a craccha if you press the horn and it made the tas noise blah blah blah blah blah blah that would be so good just if you had tas draw a car this would
Starting point is 00:03:29 probably, this would probably not look too dissimilar. Boy, point, point, point, point. Yeah. It feels like when you're, you know, at some sort of a gathering or whatever, and someone's hired a magician or a mime or something, and they come up and they're like, I am here to delight you. Act delighted now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:46 It's like that, but real. Because it's like, oh my God, look at that thing. I'm so happy. Because it looks so stupid. Because it's the unexpected nature of it. Like, if you go to a kid's birthday party and a clown shows up, you're like, I understand what's happening. here. If you go to Olive Garden and a clown
Starting point is 00:04:01 sits down next to you at the table, they're like, what the fuck's going on here? Family annihilation. Yes. They let this thing that hasn't finished loading onto the road. And again, if a clown costs $130,000 and was uninsurable.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Somebody's PC isn't strong enough to render this car next to me in real life. I get a text in the Bluetooth system just lets out the reverb fart noise. them. So yeah, we're all getting one, right, Jason? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:04:32 They're really, they're really, they're well priced, right? They're about to be. They're very affordable, right? You could do a Warhammer cyber truck. They're very orky, as I understand. They're about to be even orkier for what I've seen from the wear and share. How's it work? It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I believe that it's cool. it works therefore it does we look so fucking cool don't we so cool the back bumper's falling off it's supposed to it's exploding it's on fire yeah but we the trunk cut my hand wha Wah! welcome to the shutdown full cast you are listening to the internet's only college football podcast i am spencer hall i am joined as always by jason kirk ryan nanny holly anderson and on the ones and two's michael surber Hey, Serber, you're on vacation. How was that, buddy?
Starting point is 00:06:11 It was really good. I played about 127 hours of VA college football 25 instead of being on vacation. You're almost caught up to Jason's morning routine. Coach, how's your, what's the state of the program, coach? You were considering transferring out of the University of South Carolina, as I recall. Yeah, what I ended up doing there was a reverse Uncle Skip. I had another road to glory in which I was Uncle Skip when I started at the University of University of South Carolina and transferred to
Starting point is 00:06:39 ECU and won the national championship and brought the pirates to glory. But now I'm doing a different one. This is a hit D guy and he's just now starting out at Florida. That is the director of football is to hit D-D-Gai.
Starting point is 00:06:55 So you've had a last name guy. A hand in the dirt and a hit D guy. And a hit D guy and Ricky Gunn. I think I don't remember if we talked about it. We really should have played at both Carolinas. Ricky Gun whomst Colorado State was fervently recruiting, but... Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But nah, he's, you know, he's grinding as the third string back right now, but going to make his way up to back up probably by week three. All these guys are running backs. You're playing as just a series of running backs, right? Yeah, it's really dumb to play as anything else because you just get so annoyed by how stupid the computer will be from time to tag. Just give me the fucking rock. Let me go to work.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Yeah, Road to Glory mode is a little different. So, yeah, feed me more. Yeah. are you staying motivated is your coach reaching out to you and making the most of what's in your heart and translating it to what we see on the field are they concerned about your personal development no one's seen coach napier in weeks yeah that sounds real sounds right the rumor has it it's like that scene in the aviator um where he's kind of locked up in the film room with jars of his own urine at the moment gatorate um just and and just he just keeps watching the the orange bowl over and over and over again sounds about right sounds about right uh welcome back server um i think i want to jump right into uh the momentous events of the last 48 hours because we are a college football podcast and as we know everything is college football i want to get to the first thing which is apparently a ball knower might be our next vice
Starting point is 00:08:33 president actual ball no more knower a coach a coach who not only could coach football but coached it well and enjoys talking about a 4-4 defense that'll be tim waltz the current governor of minnesota likely vice presidential candidate and person who on let's not be too hasty i haven't seen them holding hands yet okay i haven't seen them is there a ritual that has to be perform. It's on the website, but I don't trust the internet. Okay. No, it's been confirmed by the only web source that I trust, which is the Liza Minnelli has outlived Twitter account. I don't know if Shams has tweeted it yet, to be, to be fair. Time to check. Yeah, I haven't seen Shams tweet it. I haven't seen, uh, I haven't seen them actually together on a stage with a sign. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Which undoubtedly will have happened by the time we publish this podcast. However, not a thing. Lori Markanin and the Utah Jazz agreeing to a massive long-term contract extension, but not a thing about the vice president spot. So I guess we got to talk about that too. It's still up in the air, I guess. The foremost Laurie Marketing and podcast, we've got to cover that as well. We'll get to that. We'll circle back to the Utah Jazz.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Yeah, we'll put that in the B block where it belongs. Edit the show notes real quick. Dave, can you get to that? thanks Dave thanks to our team that's anonymous assistant Dave who's just floating over here
Starting point is 00:10:07 we just tell them to do all things you just explain the plot mm-hmm server is miming yanking on a cord or something to change the show notes yeah yeah thank you server
Starting point is 00:10:20 are you wearing Carolina blue what's happening over here or is that Columbia blue technically it is a Columbia sun hoodie so it is Columbia blue Oh, outstanding. It's mostly because it matches my hat provided by the good brand, Homefieldapparel.com.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Homefield apparel.com. That's a really good color for you. It pops on camera. That's all I wanted to add. Thank you very much. Hit Hand in the Dirt, newest members of the Homefield Apparel.com. Really? Are we getting shirts?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Are we getting shirts? There will be shirts at the live show on August 24th at the Rialto. Oh. Did you look at that. I think you are. Won't you do it. Headline. I have a business.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I haven't decided. Yeah, until you see us on stage. Won't he do it is not an actual, it's rhetorical. Come on. The Fulcast is headlining that event. Will the Fulcast's members be there? Better show up to find out. Thank you for introducing the rhetorical device.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Won't he do it? Will he do it? Will he or will he not do it? I consider myself the Lauren Hill of this show. I've said that so many times. Don't let's do it. It's your, it's your flawless. complexion Lauren Hill and the Florida Gators did a thing in the 90s and that's right that's
Starting point is 00:11:34 still living off of it 2000s sir 2000s we have been known to associate with with vujis oh Tim Tebow is Florida's distract too got it oh yeah sure yeah I'm there that's it it happens in the best of families but we do have I'm very excited that we actually could get a person in the White House who could talk ball because that's important That's what this nation's been missing, is somebody who can look at the opposition, adjust, get everyone lined up, and then teach people exactly how to attack. Who is our last vice president who you think could talk ball? So appointed, not elected Gerald Ford. Gerald Ford was the last one.
Starting point is 00:12:20 He was a center. So as we all know, centers are the brains of the offensive line. and I think he had a pretty good understanding of, you know, 1940s, 1950s offense. So Gerald Ford, Gerald Ford, yes, Jason. AKA what Tim Walts is surely running in 1999, Minnesota. This man's from Nebraska. This man is a Cornhuskers fan.
Starting point is 00:12:46 He's quoted as a fan in an article about a 21-7 victory. Yeah. Well, it was a little high-scoring, but. Yeah, oh, I don't know about that. They quoted him. He's like, yeah, it was real good. I like Nebraska. That's substantive political stance.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I like Nebraska football. I do too. I really hate to bring this up, but amid a sea of, amid a sea of Harvard's and Yale's and whatnot. Dick Cheney did go to Wyoming. That's true. But did he know ball? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I mean, demonstrably, I'm true. Okay, here's a, how about another unlikely one? We all know Gerald Ford went to Michigan. But if you reach back just a little bit further, didn't Hubert Humphrey attend Louisiana State University at one point? Is that true? Yes. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:13:35 As well as the University of Minnesota and LSU. Okay. For Triple H. In a Dick-to-Dick exchange, Richard Nixon did suggest a play for Dick Allen to run. Dick Nixon nevertheless attempted to crown a national champion in 16. attempted shit it worked i mean i i consider that an act of ball not knowing because that's not how it goes however it is also at the same time an active ball knowing because it's college football
Starting point is 00:14:08 and like it kind of is how it goes that's kind of also physics i mean what we're really asking is could you actually name a formation that's it when you go like bowl knowing the very the most superficial layer is to go okay could you name a formation richard nixon and gerald ford i feel pretty confident It could be like, that's eye formation. Pretty sure both of those guys could do it. George Bush, absolutely not. 100% not. No.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That bitch is from Connecticut. Never forget. George W. Bush, what the hell else was he doing in college besides paying attention to sports? Drugs. Yeah. Okay, drugs and sports. I mean, name a better combo.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Where? Yale. Mm-hmm. So, college eight. So what, they go to class? that he didn't have to I'm going to have the ball field doing drugs it's not making himself cool
Starting point is 00:15:00 to say the guy could name a football formation I think he could I think he could name some baseball guys yeah he's two baseball I think that's the problem we all know multiple sports here my money is that he could name multiple football formations and it's not a compliment to say that he could do that just in a quick flip Jason could you name five current baseball players
Starting point is 00:15:19 five I could certainly do that Asked an answer, bitch We're getting real good at this We're getting Get at this being interviewed thing Political consultants Available for hire Showing how to answer the question
Starting point is 00:15:36 Down Shut down Because I I really might run out at four For baseball players Oh come on You know show hey I know show hey
Starting point is 00:15:49 Don't get Don't get from me. No, Aaron Judge. I know El Camelago Cruz. I know Aaron Judge, okay. You can't watch college football without seeing Aaron Judge content. And I know Nick, no, and now you've named. And there's three Tennessee players that just that draft.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Now you've named the four that I could get to because I can name three good players and the guy who always homers when something fucked up happens. Yeah. That's it. I can only name four and getting to five. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Paul. Yeah. He's in Pittsburgh and his team sucks, but he's really good.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Paul Skeins? Yeah. Their team is decent. The one who that guy said... Grated against the Pirates curve. They're positively good. They're awesome by the Pirates curve. I got five.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Boom. But that's a stretch. That was like I had to fight for five. We should give you an all-star vote in here. Sorry, guys. Can't fill out of ballot. Can't do it. Try my best.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Whoops. As their base, I'm taking my friend Ryan, It's all just like Cubs you remember from 1992. Sean Dunstan at shortstop. Mark Grace at all nine positions. That's not a bad idea. It's a damn good team, Jason. So Obama has talked about basketball a lot.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I don't recall I'm talking about football much. But I trust his aptitude to say, like, that is a four-wide shotgun set. Okay. I hope so, because he had daughters to raise. I, I, okay. So there is, I think, a difference between I can name a formation and I can identify it. Sure. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I mean, oh, I thought that was the standard. Like, you have to look at it and describe it. Oh, okay. Maybe not down to the terminology level, but. If I give him a knight, he'd come back. And the most annoying part is he'd probably have really good answers, right? That would enrage. Like, Will must champ would be like, I hate Obama.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And he would know nothing about football. And he'd come back and will be like, how do you defend this? You know? I have no doubt he could, like, master it and probably like a knight. is my guess. I mean, naming a football formation. 11-year-olds on Madden can do this. That's true.
Starting point is 00:17:54 You bet. How many, here's the other thing. Tim Waltz doesn't have a single Ivy League degree to his name. And the word lawyer does not appear anywhere in his resume. That's hurtful. That's unnecessarily hurtful. Ryan, I want you to know, the best argument I have heard maybe in my entire life against lawyers is the last two members of the Democrat presidential ticket who didn't have
Starting point is 00:18:18 lawyer degrees were Tim Walls and Jimmy Carter. And I'm like, that's a good group right there. That's, oh, God, this is, this is, this is like, man. I think it should reveal to you how easy it is to get a law degree, frankly. It should, but he doesn't have either of those things. Yeah. Which, uh, one, good. Uh, two, that says to me, plenty of time to actually be a person.
Starting point is 00:18:48 and not attend, like, weird cabal meetings about how we're going to build the new society from the ashes of the old one, right? A.k.a. I can have time to sit down and watch a three-hour football game. I don't have to go be actively weird and antisocial, right? I can actually go and engage in a healthy activity, like rooting on a contact sport that exposes the head to blunt trauma with 70 to 100,000 of my friends. For America. For America. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's implied, but I'm glad. that you read it out loud to build character if the choices do that or hang out with amateur race scientists who have been banned from twitch i think watching college football is the better choice like somebody's going to try to make this choice and it's my favorite question because it's like ah that's what you did instead of going to the brain lump society the brain lump society come here we're answering important and dangerous questions i did love the post that were like uh Harris is down to choices, and this one went to nine Ivy League schools and whatever. The one that put a normal college.
Starting point is 00:19:54 In quotes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then listed University of Rochester, as if that's a big fucking deal. But yeah, oh, he went to normal colleges? Cool. You turn out fine if you went to a normal college. Nerd. Which, by the way, you fucker started this with the, I'd like to have a beer with them, guys.
Starting point is 00:20:14 So don't be mad that we're thriving in the. a world that you built. Yeah, man. You want to talk about having a beer with a guy. You can have a big ass Lutheran beer with Tim Walz. Get you a big old gallon of Midwestern beer. We're going to talk about hot dish. I will say this. Tim Walls has leaped to the top of my current or potential vice presidents, or past or potential vice presidents, who I think would make a kick-ass breakfast. Oh, my God. I don't think he's getting touched. I think he's got a sweet and a savory element in there. I think There's multiple beverage options. It's heavy.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I'll tell you that. Oh, you're in for a time. Yeah. I mean, you're going to have the power to go do some chores, but you're going to need a nap after those chores. That's why every seat of his couch reclines. Come on. There's a picture of him that I'm going to find where he's at a diner,
Starting point is 00:21:05 and he has got an order, like he has got a serious pile of Midwestern breakfast in front of him. And there is a, I am not kidding you, like, what is bigger than a plate? Like a serving dish, like a banquet plate? Basin. Of Saratoga chips style fries in front of him. And Midwest Twitter was like, yes, yes, at last, representation. He is a football coach, long-term teacher, Midwestner. He definitely can make it.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Like, it's not even a party thing. Like, I don't think Al Gore could make you a tasty breakfast. I don't know. I think Al Gore could make me a healthy breakfast. breakfast really likes oatmeal yeah what i'm hearing here is about oatmeal lison al grubb he knows our ways my god van helsson yes and knows what a four four defense is right yeah yeah and uh state state champion turned around a meager program uh state state championship winning defensive coordinator while
Starting point is 00:22:16 helping defound the school's first gay straight alliance years before that was cool for Democrats? I said this on Twitter today earlier, but that man did bus duty. And if you know what I'm talking about, then you're in line behind me. And if you don't know what I'm talking
Starting point is 00:22:32 about, I can't really explain. Didn't you do cafeteria duty too? Yeah. That man did high school cafeteria duty. I'm sorry, unless you find somebody who's been held in like a Russian prison for 15 years. You're not going to find anybody with the stronger will.
Starting point is 00:22:48 That's a football troop who did high school cafeteria duty. This is why it's funny. I'm worried he might be a strong man in hiding. Well, this is why it's funny that it's like, here comes the opo research. They're going to crack him. This motherfucker did lunch duty with high schoolers for a decade.
Starting point is 00:23:04 You cannot hurt his feelings anymore. Are you kidding me? I like that point that he might be the authoritarian because I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm already. I'm already laying down my freedoms for whatever. Fault of personality, great. Sign me up.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Whatever coach tells me to do out there. He's going to go to the inauguration, be like, if you can hit someone by the boys clap once. Coach Emperor, Tim. Twice. Coach Governor Ballnower, can we play heads-up, seven-up? We've got to get him on the sticks. He's a motivator, right?
Starting point is 00:23:38 I'll have to. Oh, 100% more than a person. I don't know, though. He's laying the mexas and O's down pretty, do you think you know are you telling me he's multiple i mean i think the exes and o's were refined sure probably you think they were acquired rather than innate well i mean these were these were exes and o's that uh a a lowly high school program was able to pick up just like that right i think it's also like what an assent for defensive coaches
Starting point is 00:24:07 don't make it this high you know right right head coaches are always offensive coordinators. Right, right. We live in a world that is dominated by guys who know offensive ball. If we get a defensive coordinator in the White House, that's, man, that's huge for that community. That really is because like we don't, they don't get the glossy profiles, you know? Like Michael Lewis profiled Mike Leach. He didn't profile, he didn't profile like Jolie Dunn. He didn't profile. Imagine a profile of Will Muschamp, like to that extent. I was trying to do
Starting point is 00:24:39 Well, that's the part where we'll must chip is wearing as you sit down to lunch. You know what he's going to do the genius profile of Kirby Smart, right? Jeremy Pruitt has a vision. We're on page six and he's out of thoughts. I'm going to do the Q profile of Kirby Smart. Alex, that's right. I want somebody to do Kirby Smart has a cold, right? I want somebody to do the like the steak finger droops from his lips sensuously.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Now, Kirby Smart, no, I had a cold thing. as a ride-around, which would mean that you'd be trying to interview Kirby after one of his players was arrested for drunk driving, which I guess makes sense because that's fucking always. Speaking of Tim Walts. Oh, right, that. Genuine American. It is canon folks that in the neighboring state of Wisconsin, your first snowmobile arrest is free for a DUI. And like, in the spirit of that, I'm like, dog.
Starting point is 00:25:34 DUI is bad. But having said that. I am not excited. No, I just, no, by the way, I just put that bridge out there and I am not going down it. Everyone made the joke on Twitter. Hey, we're going to get sued by. We're going to say it. DUI is bad.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Whoa. There. Great. Having said that. The first podcast to come out and say that DUI is bad. Really a moment for like explainer guys. I understand they're always out and about, but like they are popping off in. Oh, listen.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Such a time as this. Well, in a way, that's very sports too. Like every now and again, you will have a like a, uh, a baseball team that's not supposed to make it to the world series that like barely stinks in the playoff and gets hot or like a football team that like barely gets in the playoff and goes on a hot streak and like there is a brand not all brand of like analysis focused people who are like god damn it this is not what the system said would happen i am not happy about this so it's all sports and just like the trim the tremors worms that they so easily resemble they're single-minded in their devotion they're easy to kill and they have broken into the wrong goddamn wreck room that is true because we are trying to have a vibes day with reba it is 100% of vibes day it by the way continued on that uh by the way holly let's put down kirby smart sensual intellectual profile put that in the editorial cue for channel 6
Starting point is 00:27:04 do his eyes have a far away look or is he just sleepy he's thinking of greater things or is gassy. Black eyes like a doll's eyes. He had an advance plan for Georgia football. It was beat those motherfuckers up. But it was more than that. It was also beat those
Starting point is 00:27:25 motherfuckers up. Like his Game Boy advanced namesake. His chinks are pink with promise. And he swells when he's angry. And he's so fucking hungry. He's so hungry. catamard kirby he has eaten up all those recruits
Starting point is 00:27:43 just rolling around the southeast just picking up recruits I wanted to also mention this that shortly after the Waltz announcement the real news came out which is that Pitbull has purchased the naming rights for FIU's stadium
Starting point is 00:27:58 Dahl that would be yes the rapper pit bull the fantastic detail about this from the press release although I am reading them off of Chris Vanini's Twitter feed which of course you should follow Chris this is great that we do all our shows it is but to share with you I am dragging Chris into this he's
Starting point is 00:28:27 included whether he wants to be or not if I use stadium for real is now called pit bull stadium it is fucking pit bull stadium we don't have to joke about that it's not a thing that we have to fictionalize. It's called Pitpool Stadium. In addition to all of these things, he is the official entrepreneur of FIU.S. I love that job title. I love it. Can I, okay, can I say something else dangerously positive while we're having a vibes day? Yeah. I feel like between this and the, you know, flavor of flame coming out for U.S. women's water polo and the multiple world famous celebs that we have seen court side, ring side, arena side, genuinely seeming to enjoy and support their fellow Americans at the Paris Olympics. We're having a weirdly, like, are celebs okay?
Starting point is 00:29:19 Like, we're having a weirdly celeb positive couple of weeks here. I think, I think what is happening here is that celebs are like, ah shit, we gotten so much. much trouble for hawking cryptocurrency that we need to associate with safe family-friendly brands like the Olympics. And we need to just go do that for a little bit. All right. In the name of Satanism. It was just, there was this beautiful moment when, I think it was Simone doing her floor
Starting point is 00:29:52 routine over the weekend. And they cut to the stands and they cut to people one by one springing to their feet. and applauding and here's Kevin Durant here's the rest of Team USA all with their phones out like moms and they cut and they cut to know
Starting point is 00:30:10 and here's Tom Brady and the camera is catching him going that was ridiculous and they cut and here's Tony Hawk giving here like a standing ovation with teary eyes and it just it was like
Starting point is 00:30:22 it felt it's it's very I don't know what is this feeling is this happiness it really good The vibes are good. The vibes have been bad for... The vibes are good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Vives have been bad ever since shortly after LeBron came back from down three to one. That was the last good thing that ever happened. The vibes have been bad for like 10 years. I think that's why I'm having an uncomfortable time fitting into them right now. Yeah, it'll take some time. It's not official, by the way, until Tony Hawk rises like the king to recognize greatness. That was my favorite part of the celebrity cycling through. Like, it was camera angle, and you're like, oh, there's somebody who's good at
Starting point is 00:31:01 their job. There's somebody. Oh my God. It's TOTY Hawk. That's the man who dropped the 900. And now it's official greatness. I, it is still, I know this has been going for over a decade now, but it is still wild that Snoop Dogg is our national
Starting point is 00:31:16 diplomat to the world. Out there calling you, equestrian with Martha Stewart. Who I still remember as like the scariest man in the eyes of the average old white, like of my childhood. Like I try to explain to my kid, like, there is no one right now who is considered as scary as snoop dog was when I was your age.
Starting point is 00:31:37 It's just not a thing anymore. And he's just like, I mean, he might be the most popular man in America. I'll just never get used to it. Good for him, though. Yeah, or that he and Martha Stewart in the year 1995, which one of them would have done hard time in a federal penitentiary? All right. It wasn't hard. I ran across something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Ryan Nanny. Prison truther. It was, listen. How would you know? She was fucking craft. She was crafting. She was fine. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:32:07 It wasn't. I could easily, I could easily no cell jail, says Ryan. It was prison. And Ryan's like, not all prison is the same. Right. You said you could, are you in some kind of last holiday situation that we need to know about? Because you said you could best Isaac Chottner in an interview over the weekend. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:28 He hasn't fucking reached out. So I think I'm winning. that battle. I'll tell you what. Oh, my God. Do you know why I could handle an interview from Isaac Chotner? Ryan Spencer moment is really something. I have no desire to prove that I'm smart to Isaac Chotner. The second
Starting point is 00:32:43 he's like, but wait, what about this? I'm like, oh man, yeah, I guess I am. I guess I am a dumbass, Isaac. Interview done. Hey, do you remember this thing? No, I don't remember anything I do, Isaac. Like, Isaac Chottner is very good at his job, but he also attracts
Starting point is 00:32:59 a certain brand of stupid person who thinks they're extremely smart and I am not that I don't think that I'm smarter than Isaac Chottner and that's why I can beat him Ryan when you said jail is easy. Yeah. I think that was
Starting point is 00:33:14 I think that was on the stupid side. Okay, that's fine. See, it worked. It worked. Can we play the schedule game real quick? About whether Snoop and Martha have kissed. I'm going to read the FIU home schedule. There's a schedule for that.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Read the FIU home schedule. I was just trying to steer. Central Michigan Monmouth for Homecoming Louisiana Louisiana Tech That's probably true Yeah I agree with that
Starting point is 00:33:42 Louisiana Tech Sam Houston New Mexico State Middle Tennessee Is Pitbull attending any of these games At his name's say so So he is I could see a random one
Starting point is 00:33:56 That he shows up to And it's it's like Last year why the fuck was Colorado Colorado state a national attraction just because everyone decided it was. If Pippel just decides Louisiana Tech is a game worth attending, then suddenly it is
Starting point is 00:34:10 and he can act as if it's a big deal to him, it might be. The South Carolina, Kentucky game that drew DeRood, come on. Yeah, yeah. So he will create an FIU anthem, so he's going to be there every game in spirit, buddy. That's not the same thing.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That's not the same thing. He does have two suites for all the games, so he can go to whichever one he wants, obviously, and bring a ton of friends. There will be, you ask, will he be at any of these? Yeah. This is in quotes.
Starting point is 00:34:40 At the games, there will be, quote, a Pitbull-affiliated performer, unquote. Yes. So there will be a... He's got a deputy. There's a deputy pit bull. One Miami-Marlin will be selected to sing at every FIU game.
Starting point is 00:35:00 proxy pit bull so i'm aware of like wu tang affiliates i'm not aware of a pit bull right bill you look it up um bench i was not aware that he had bench players i thought pit bull was just a concern backup oh staffordshire terrier yeah that's that's that's the dress version of pit bull the non casual version of american people has previously served as an opening act for Enrique Iglesias and Brittany Spears. So let's put them on the list. Yes. He could be there. I'm going to look guest appearances. He toured with Sean Paul. So yes, obviously. Little John. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Twista, of course. B-O-B, not doing a lot else these days. LMFAO. Now there, there, there, there, that's it. LMFAO. That's your backup
Starting point is 00:35:56 pit bull. Yeah. B-O-B on an open mic is not a good idea you want to yeah you're gonna want to cut that in south florida it's probably fine i have some thoughts about the international monetary yeah that's probably fine that's probably fine in south florida you were fine you had that took a turn bro bro listen i listen to rogan he's right he's state senator bobby ray yeah his state senator co-signing all of bob's uncomfortable remarks at the FIU game. Pitbull was a guest on a Taylor Swift remix. So Taylor Swift coming to FIU.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Coming to FIU. Read it. He heard you here first. I have a different game I would like to play involving identifying where people are. It's called Where Are They Now, the 2024 edition. This is the thing, a service we offer really to you, the listener, to wonder, hey, this person that I remember, where are they in college football at this point in time? We don't have to answer, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I've been an officer of the law I have selected 10 10 well-known college football or yeah these are all well-known in college football some of them will surprise you a little bit personalities and I'm going to ask you all
Starting point is 00:37:15 where they are right now I'm going to start with what I think is the easiest one and I'm going to pick Spencer to answer this one okay Spencer where's Bill O'Brien? man where is bill o'brien is he at temple feels like temple that's incorrect no does anybody else know where bill o'brien is boston college yeah bill o'brien is the head coach at boston college only because i'm pretty sure like two weeks on the show i said it would be funny oh we did this
Starting point is 00:37:44 in the cold seat episode i said it'd be funny if you got fired after this first year sorry okay holly oh no where's i got that when i got that when i got that the last one. Why do I have to answer this one? I'm just moving around. It doesn't matter. I'm not keeping score. Holly, where's Bob Diaco? Oh my God. Uh, let's see, he's handsome. He's the only person on this list who has had this job last year as well. Everybody else is starting a new job. Bob Diaco is going into year two of this job, but I don't remember talking about it at all last year. He's like, he's like handsome, but like golf shirt handsome. So I'm going to say he's on Dave Cawson's staff at Wake Forest. That's incorrect.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Okay. Spiritually, though. Does anybody else want a hazard a guess? Where in the world is Bob Diaco? Rutgers. I think that's a great guess. Getting colder. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Bob Diaco is a senior defensive analyst at Louisiana State University. What? How did the LSU defense look last year? How does he still have a job? Is my question. There was a lot to analyze, I think. He just gives a sheet of paper that says, like, we were ass, And he's like, yeah, that's accurate.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We're only here to analyze it. So much data. Oh, my God. Spencer, I just looked it up after hearing the LSU. I'm not cheating even when it's someone else's question. But his previous job was New Jersey Generals. So you were very close. Yeah, you understand the assignment, at least.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Jason, where is previous Arkansas head coach, Chad Morris? Oh, boy. Fuck. So he's not at SMU. Not at Arkansas. We've narrowed it down a little bit. I'll tell you this. He's not at Clemson either.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Okay. Yeah. He hasn't scurried back home to Clemson. He could be back in the high school ranks. He's not. He is all of, everyone I'm giving you has a college, has a FBS college football job. FBS. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I thought that was a good guess, Jason. We have slashed tens of thousands of possible football teams. I'm pretty sure before this he did have a high school job. So Jason is also like spiritually understands. the arc here. Yeah. I'm just stalling by reviewing his resume. I don't know where he is right now.
Starting point is 00:40:02 He was at Clemson last year. I was so close. Okay. I know this one. I love and respect you. I would be very surprised if that were true because this was a recent. This was no, it was a January move and it's not one that I think would have talked about. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:20 He made a move says, well, I only know this because of who he's working for because I felt the cold, icy brush of death. fingers on the back of my neck because he is working for a coach who we covered as a player. Last I heard he was on G.J. Kinney's staff at Texas State. That is correct. Wow. He is the passing game
Starting point is 00:40:41 coordinator and the wide receivers coach Texas Ryan Amy. Okay, so that was the January move. Underestimated Holly and prison. Hey, I only, listen, creeping I all credit to all credit to the icy hand of death. Okay. Okay, Serber, I'm going to make you take a turn here.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Serber, where is college football journeyman Tim Brewster? I don't fucking know. I'm going to give you a hint. He's in your state. Can I just say while Serber thinks that I feel like we ask this question about Tim Brewster every year and we never know. He's got to be like the center free square. He is my guy
Starting point is 00:41:25 to establish his whereabouts. He's number one on my... It's important to maintain Tim Brewster's situation. He's number one on my list of troublesome Witsack clients that he's the guy that they're like,
Starting point is 00:41:36 oh, he's got on Twitter again and he's talking about he's on camera. I move him again. Hey, we never did find Jeff Bowden. He's like the triads found him. We got to move him. He was a guy at Colorado
Starting point is 00:41:48 because Deion was hiring meme guys. And now he is closer to server. you're saying yes oh he's not i thought he's still in colorado should no does he have some so he has a little bit of vitality that one may be able to sap is he at unc he is he is the the associate head coach and tight ends coach at charlotte for our boy biff okay that's another he is close enough for mac brown to just be like just gave me a hug i just need some of that energy as long as he's on a meme on meme coach i need some bruce
Starting point is 00:42:24 That's the stuff right there. Upsetting. I love it. Spencer. Yes. Indiana fired Tom Allen at the end of last season. Where is he now? Oh.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Fuck, I knew this one in the minute you asked it just flew out of my fucking head. Tom Allen. There's room for it to fly back in. I will give you a hint. He is still in the big. 10. Oh, that's a mean.
Starting point is 00:42:57 That's a mean, that's like 50 teams. There are, it is like 50 teams now. This is elder abuse. Rutgers. Rutgers can't mean the answer to everything.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Even Nudzio Campanile is no longer at Maryland. Fuck. I know. I know. We're losing recipes. If we're losing Nunesio, we're definitely lost to us.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Actually, you know what? Big meaty meatball recipes. Fuck it. I'm going to make it second guess he's at rutgers yes no stick to your guns is the defensive coordinator at penn state oh no that would be a good time for our pretty you know what i'm not going to say anything mean if you put tom allen and james franklin in the same room you'd die of asphyxiation because
Starting point is 00:43:44 there's no oxygen for you cut no well because motivator plus motivator yeah super motivate Holly Darling Bronco Menden Hall stepped away from football for a couple of years after leaving Virginia He's back
Starting point is 00:43:58 Where is he I didn't even know he was back I think you'd feel the gravity of him He's a very dense object Ooh Hint please Big Ten This is
Starting point is 00:44:18 This is a This is a west of Texas job like job job New Mexico correct he is the head coach what I guessed
Starting point is 00:44:32 yep nice that's fine that's nice yeah no got it and they're in the big 10 Jason where's Heinz Ward that's someone you have to worry about being right behind you
Starting point is 00:44:46 where is Georgia football Pittsburgh Steelers legend Heinz Ward. He was last seen falling into the cavern beneath... Yeah, he's in Baines.
Starting point is 00:44:57 He's in Bain's Army. I thought he was the one who did it. I thought he was the one who escaped. Well, yeah, they saw him running away, but did we see him leave the stadium? That's fair.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Actually, I think he probably just joined Bain's Army, right? Yeah. This seems like the right team. This seems like a coach I can work for after. I did not know that he was in college football.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I believe this might... I'm going to double check i think this might be his first college football job uh yes i will tell you uh no it's not his first college football job oh i remember this one now okay go for it no i just looked it up oh go ahead tell us uh he's the wide receivers coach for arizona state he is the wide receivers coach at arson after some time in the uh i'm going to guess that's usFL san antonio oh damn it xFL also ufl sure It's all the ones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:51 So Arizona State, when you go, what university is going to hospitalize the most D.Bs this year? It's going to be Arizona State. With a big smile on their face. With an enormous grin on his face. It's interesting because under the previous administration, Arizona State did this, sure, any NFL player can come here and get a job. And now Heinz's word is getting in on it. It just feels a little late. That's all.
Starting point is 00:46:13 It's fine. It's not a problem. Can I say something? Can I, can I retroactively sanction myself? Yeah, please. I'm pretty sure that what I guessed, Bronco Mendenhall was the coach of New Mexico. I was mixing him up with Bob Davy, who isn't the coach there anymore, and I don't think I should get credit. Those are very different people. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Okay. You know what? You said the right answer. I think I might need to be sanctioned. So the answer is going to count. Well, because I thought he'd been there. I was like, wait, he's been there for a minute. And then I looked it up like, no, that's Bob Davy.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Okay. Serber. Dino Babers finally had to. leave Syracuse but he has a new job where is that job yeah I feel like I know this one actually speaking of motivators but I can't see he was he was in the Mac before he was at Kent State right and then Syracuse and now he is uh do you want me to give me the conference yeah give me the conference Big 12.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Again, that's a Not a helpful clue at this point, but... Is it Oklahoma State? Dino Babers is the offensive coordinator at Arizona. That makes sense, too. Man, you know what? Good for him, like, climate-wise.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Yeah, I mean, compared to the carrier dome, that's a little bit cooler. Tucson's a grid. You said Arizona, Arizona? Yeah. I love Tucson, man. Good for him. And, I mean, thinking about the map,
Starting point is 00:47:46 that is... Is that the farthest distance he could get from Syracuse, pretty much? Almost. FBS power school-wise, yeah. Yeah, I guess he could have went to San Diego State. He really did, though, hit the sliders on opposite in every way, right? Like, indoors, outdoors. Cold, hot, wet, dry.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Stadium name for air conditioning that doesn't have air conditioning. Air conditioning is a national law. Spencer. Mr. Deerick King played for the University of Houston and then played for Miami as recently as 2021. He bounced around as a practice squad member in the NFL for a little bit. He is now a quarterbacks coach at what FBS institution? I am going to phone a friend or ask for a clue here. bad
Starting point is 00:48:46 I owe for two I need half credit at best big 10 I'm just assuming nope oh damn ACC oh again that's
Starting point is 00:48:58 you'll see how Jason's rocking in and out of focus in his chair ACC yeah yeah like he's face shifting it looks like I'm in annihilation
Starting point is 00:49:09 I'm gonna take the I'm gonna take the biggest listen this is just based on I'm gonna take the biggest layup by can and see if it goes in Miami. The answer is SMU. Mm.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Miami. ACC powerhouse. SMU. M.U. Do you want vindication of some sort? Do you want the last question? Sure. I will take the last one so I can go O for four.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Okay. Middle Tennessee has a head coach who formerly coached in the SEC. Who is it? Oh, come on, we've talked about this one. He was formerly a head coach in the SEC. Yeah, that doesn't help at all. Nick Saban. We've had multiple conversations about it.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Holly, if you know it, answer it. It's Derek Mason. It is Derek Mace. Oh, my God. We talked, okay, we've talked about, I'm pretty sure you told me that. To be fair, you said SEC. Well, it counts. Technically, the check still clears.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Derek Mason is kind of doing like the, that's, kind of like the anti-Babers move in terms of vibes? Like, I don't know. Sure. This guy has taken, is there anybody who's taken more thankless jobs? I'm still so sad that they fired him after he gave his training day.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm made for this shit. I'm the, like, I'm the dungeon master of Vanderbilt football. Come down here and fight me. Can we adopt Derek Mason and re-home him to a loving institution? Apparently not. I think he should go coach Fandy again. He loved that.
Starting point is 00:50:44 I wouldn't rule that job, not get to that. I have one more game I want to do, but it's not for this week. It's for a future week, but I want to explain it to you all before we do it. That was convoluted, but here I am. Alex, if you can't see it, Ryan has just dawned the Saw Puppet Mask. It looks very handsome on you. So every year, we pick playoff teams. And previously, that has not been that daunting because we only have to pick four of them.
Starting point is 00:51:11 we have done drafts we have done trivia that we have done a manner in which ryan got to escape it last year correct we've done trivia where you earn points that you get to spend on playoff teams i think one year we rolled like a d20 and that was the best year because that was that was the most successful year any of us ever had okay so uh this is how this is going to work and we will you'll have i'm giving you each and server this includes you and includes me as well this year uh you're each going to come up with a list of 12 teams you think will make the college football playoff there is a catch if your list of 12 has a team that anybody else on this show picks neither of you get that team so if holly you me and server all put georgia on our list
Starting point is 00:52:00 we can't have georgia and in fact nobody can have georgia for the playoff so you need to come up with 12 teams that you think can make the playoff and decide how you want to be strategic about this. Now, on the one hand, to use Georgia again as the example, if you pick Georgia, you are running the risk that somebody else will pick them, knock them out, remove them from possibility, and we won't be able to put Georgia
Starting point is 00:52:26 on anybody's playoff list for the entire season. Aw. That said, if everybody acts under that assumption and only, let's say, Cerber puts Georgia... Gamesmanship. Serber gets to have Georgia. So you have to sort of think about how you're going to pick your 12 such that you think these are teams you can get
Starting point is 00:52:44 or that you want to make sure either you get or they stay off the board what if you pick the same team twice have you disqualified that name yeah I suppose that would be a problem is it like a light switch you've turned it off and then it's oh no unfortunately it doesn't I don't have the the mental capacity to fix it that way so you're each going to email me after this show not a rush your 12 teams. I will go through and figure out which, which teams you get to keep from a standalone process and which teams have been eliminated. And on a future episode, I will explain where everybody's playoff list stands, which teams can't be selected because they have
Starting point is 00:53:28 already been removed by multiple selection. And then we will do a snake draft to fill in everybody else's draft from the remnants at this point. serpent does anybody have any questions spencer i'm looking at you specifically these well ryan in keeping with tradition will the weekly results uh of these and how we are doing be available on instagram i think so yes i think we're going to have to move to a instagram like multi image gallery because the thought of putting uh uh 72 teams or 60 teams rather uh on on one graphic is horrifying very small instagram But yeah, we can put them on Instagram going forward.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Why do we pick the playoff this way? Because we might as well. There's no better way to do it. It is not better than us picking teams. That's true. Spencer, do you understand the assignment? I have to send an email. You said that with such disdain and unhappiness.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I found the first hurdle in the process. Really, bitch. I got to send an email. You could text me your 12 teams if you wanted. then I have to text a person. Oh, my God. All right. Who are you texting?
Starting point is 00:54:41 He can text it to me. No, he's to text a person. Oh, wow. You're an Android. Damn. All because I said prison's not hard? Some prison's not hard. Lots of prison is hard.
Starting point is 00:54:53 What did you say that? Lots of prison is hard. Okay. Ryan Nanny, supporter of the carceral state. Ryan Nanny, prison should be harder. Paddington, too, was easy on Paddington. I've never seen Paddington too I don't even know
Starting point is 00:55:09 Even worse take This is this is the Ryan Canceled Hey up Ryan I've seen Paddington one No What what's what? This explains so much
Starting point is 00:55:20 Get your eyes out of here I've seen no Paddingtons What okay Folks we found what's wrong with Ryan Folks you can reach Ryan at ryan dot nanny Atgmail.com That's true that's fine Please remind him that he is a father
Starting point is 00:55:32 Send him your playoff fix folks knocked out they will somebody will do that soon it's only f iU pit bull why didn't they change the name of the team like oh the f iu pit bulls oh man the f iu keep that so bring back the golden golden pit bulls yeah like that fucking rocks man there's so many panthers you're named for the god damn carolina NFL team that sucks and it's not like it's not like you're such an old program that it's like well the tradition of the panthers no fuck that the panther legacy there's not one yeah and then people are like you mean the

So yeah, that's what I, that's what I do, because I have a real life and a real job. That's not true. Well, this is true. I should just go to prison like Martha Stewart. It's easy. It's easy.

Starting point is 01:00:38 cover. At the moment the big thing coming up is we're going to be doing the every SEC game preview as we do We're at the point in writing these previews where we start to hallucinate. Yeah yeah that's good which is you know week month two month two is generally when
Starting point is 01:00:54 the hallucinations kick in so you can go ahead and subscribe to that are you prepared for getting to the point where you realize that several games you are used to seeing just our there this year um it's it's starting to happen i'm more at the front end of the season where there are games happening that i am not used to being on the calendar so for instance um you know you see like uh what was oklahoma was playing somebody uh tennessee they play pretty early don't they
Starting point is 01:01:22 right and you see oklahoma you know or you see florida texas and you're like exciting out of No, bad, no, is conference, is conference game, is conference game. So there's a lot of that happening more than missing games. I don't know so much miss games as you look at other games to go, boy, this non-conference schedule sure jumped up in difficulty, huh? So you're looking at Florida's schedule like, what's with all this ambition? Nobody needs to look at Florida schedule. No one needs to look at Florida schedule. Doesn't need to happen.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Especially you, Florida. Don't do it. Just close your eyes. Oh, that reminds me. EA, if you're listening, I do have one suggestion for the game, which I haven't played and don't own. Watch Paddington and then play the game.

Like Coastal and BYU when they were like, let's play a game in a week's notice, right? Yeah, but the game has a lot of glitches.
Starting point is 01:02:28 So, like, it might just fucking, hey, guess what? You're playing Auburn this week. Do you think it would let you play, like, we're going to play nine games in 15 days? I mean, if you, like, cycle through the menus too fast, you never know what might happen in this game. I'm serious. A lot of shit is college football grade broken in this game. Their bodies would just be red, right? By game eight in, like, a week, their bodies would just, do you want to sub him in?

Starting point is 01:05:15 but we're getting close to and uh can i probably yeah can i tell people why yes um you you guys you as may have seen in the in the run up to the in the run up to good vibesylvania there was a sticker company uh on the internet called sticker mule that um started i i don't even want to go into and relitigate this because it was weeks ago at this point um that said some some frankly insane things about some groups of people that we care a bunch about and it just so happens we've spent a shit ton of money with this company over the past
Starting point is 01:06:01 several years to buy you guys stickers and treats and things for our show including for our Portland show. And we attempted to get our money back before the Portland show and they were more interested in having Twitter fights
Starting point is 01:06:17 than they were in answering their customer service emails, which I certainly relate to even if I don't respect it. So what we are doing is we are taking the money that we spent on our on that last show in Portland on our merch we are doubling it and we are donating it to this is a Texas based company and we are donating it to a Texas organization to be named shortly that is providing storm relief to families affected by Hurricane Barrel and
Starting point is 01:06:54 off the back of that guess what we need a new merch vendor so we're trying that out not entirely all the if you all the merch you get from pre-owned airboats is not yes I should say that the shirt apart from the danger of getting
Starting point is 01:07:10 prescription medication that isn't yours danger privilege the delight apart from the pleasant surprise of getting prescription medicine that isn't yours in the mail ordering from pre-owned airboards.com is still safe we are talking about the stickers that we have been handing out at shows.
