You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. We are debuting a new segment today. It's a wordy segment. What did Jeremy Google during the show? We'll get to that in just a second. But Lucy, I have rarely seen you this fired up. This morning at around 830, you were pouring through the new college football playoff schedule and I've gotten

to know you a bit over the last couple of years, but oh my god, I have never seen you that excited ever. She's worked here for eight months. Oh, whatever. I actually think it's longer now. You gotta make it a couple of years, right? It sounded, it was a good day. Yeah, you have to do it like that. Thank you. Appreciate it. I've gotten to know her. Listen, Chris, I'm telling you, we both went to Detroit-ish and I didn't spend one second with Lucy. Not one. Are we giving our Lucy bona fides? I went to Vegas with her. I've known her for 10 years. Anyway, Lucy, the college football playoff. What's happening? So we all know the college football playoff is expanding to 12 teams starting this season and I was out.

I was out on this. I still think it's the wrong number of teams, but I saw that schedule. They released that game schedule and everything changed. What do we got here? It's a lot of games. Playoff first round, Friday night, December 20th. December 21st, we got three games. Three playoff games.

Guess what? December 21st, that's my brother's birthday. He's going to have to move that. I have plans. Jack, you're gonna turn 22 another time. It's just not gonna work. He can keep the birthday, you can just shoot him a text or something, right?

You know, he's not gonna wanna talk to me, I'm not gonna wanna talk to him. We got the quarterfinals, December 31st, New Year's Eve, that's exactly how I wanna spend it. New Year's Day, where college football belongs, we got the Peach Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, quarterfinals, oh my God, am I excited. Are you saying we have three games on New Year's Day?

Three playoff games on New Year's Day. And we're probably still gonna watch whatever the Outback Bowl is called now. I'm so excited for Florida, Iowa, whatever it's gonna be. Finally! This is a month of college football playoffs. It starts December 20th, ends January 20th. And guess what?

That's amazing. I hope to hear from none of you during that time, all right? My phone is permanently do not disturb. I don't care if there's a fire or an emergency. Don't reach out to me. I am busy. You're not gonna be home for a month That's gonna. It's gonna be awesome best month of her life. It's gonna be so awesome, and it's cool because the bowl games

I'm like not going to like Oklahoma as much no disrespect to Oklahoma I had a great time there, but I get to go like bigger cities. I am so excited I'm so pumped and guess what there's little breaks in. You know what's in those little breaks? NFL football. Oh, wow. Yeah. There's so much football, you guys are going to be sick of me. What a time.

Also, please move the national championship game to a Saturday. I'm so excited about this, but please move it to a Saturday. Wait, so during God Bless Football, when we played the game Lucy or Goosey and we asked you about the expansion of the college football playoff,

you were never a fan of it. It took you seeing the schedule to be a fan of it. I'm still not a fan of it. I think we're going to have a lot of blowouts. Alright, but guess what? But we have games. I'm going to watch every single minute of them. Games with

stakes. That's exactly how my brother wants to spend his birthday. Watching those games. Right. That's how you that's how your brother wants you to spend his birthday. Exactly. Yeah. This is all Jack has ever wanted. This and a PS5. Me too.

It is exciting. I mean, there's going to be a lot of teams. Alabama will be there every year. There's no way they don't make it now. The coach. There will be some blowouts, but it is exciting to have this many teams, you know, having the ability to win a national championship and make a college football player. I can't wait for UCF to finish 13th Oh, I would die You don't want to know how my mental health would look if UCF finished 13th, it would be an actual

Caesar for you guys though. We finished in the top ten We say it's exciting and then we're gonna be like, ah, man, they put Penn State and Wisconsin in there. I don't know how I feel about that. And I say that knowing who my favorite team is, OK? We all agree Penn State's still not getting in, though, right? This was destined for Penn State to be at the nine spot. Guess what? Automatic bid.

Just give it to them already. Right. I am excited about it. I do wonder how I'm going to feel when Ohio State plays Michigan, and it won't have that same feeling. It's going to have that same feeling. I don't think it will I do wonder how I'm going to feel when Ohio State plays Michigan and it won't have that same feeling. It's going to have that same feeling. I don't think it will. It's going to have that same feeling. I don't think it can. It's always going to have that same feeling. But I don't think it can.

Yeah, you're right. The stakes are different. No, that game, the winner of that game usually makes the playoffs. Now, both teams will make it. No. So, one, Michigan, I don't think it's going to be very good this season. So, I don't think it'll really matter for Michigan. They're losing every single player, and their head coach, they've lost everybody. The only thing I'm worried about with Michigan-Ohio State isn't actually the playoff at all,

it's the new Big Ten Championship format where you don't have divisions, so it's going to be the two top teams, which could be Ohio State and Michigan back-to-back weeks. Those teams hate each other, they will always hate each other, that game is always gonna be awesome, And oh my god we didn't even talk about it. First round, home sites! Home sites!

Oh wow that's cool. Home sites! We're gonna have night games and like playoff games and Eugene? Oh I feel like I've died in gonna heaven. You're gonna see the Bounce House host one, KJ Jefferson and them boys. It's gonna be great. Let's get to your new wordy segment. Let's find out what new wordy segment. Let's find out what Jeremy Googled during the show today. Jeremy, take it away. This is going to be fun to go sort of chronologically through what we spoke about.

No. In the definition, it doesn't say necessarily, but I will tell you on Google Images, everyone did not have teeth. Just quickly, there's no new news on the Lakers head coaching job. It is still being speculated that Dan Hurley will get that job and people are saying,

who is it Lucy, Bruce Pearl? Yeah, Bruce Pearl is the name that's like being thrown around to replace Dan Hurley. The news we have is that Dan Hurley has told the players at UConn that he is not like interviewing for this job, that he's in talks for it. Which I don't know if that counts as interviewing or not. We're really, the words here, the terms,
