Lake City area via Texas right now I do believe is that no no no via California excuse me California. Fountain Valley Great place. Fountain Valley a nice place to live as they say just minutes down the street from old Strait

for Counter King. Yeah well they're in the valley. Yeah in the valley But they were made there that's where they were invented yeah they were made there. It's very famous bowling alley there. Fountain Valley is known to have two bars in the whole city. One of them was called

Silky Sullivan's, which is now closed. I think Jeff's been there, a nice Irish pub, good prime rib. It's closed, which now means there's only one place that serves alcohol in the whole city, and that's the bowling alley. So we're big bowlers, so we like that. So Mr. Jeff Bouget

currently in a non-paid drilling status, I do believe. Grant's buddy, also in a non-paid deployment status. So a lot of fun stuff there for the government going on. But we support the troops. So you're not going to hear us complain.

We don't do it for the pay. We don't do it for the pay. We've never done it for the money. We actually like to do more with less. We've always said that. I've always said that. You've always said that's what I've always said. We want to do more with less.

And so now the Marine Corps is like, hey, let's just see if they can do more. with no money and uh so that's where we're at thanks to politicians on all sides of all the aisles walking up and down the aisles i appreciate you guys just shaking hands getting everybody paid um also in studio joining us from texas city texas is um texas city are you tracking you tracking texas city i'm aware of texas city yeah okay yeah texas city is uh the texas city yes uh texas city Yeah, I think it's on the Gulf of America. It should be, it should be the capital. It should be.

It's Texas City. It looks like it's, oh, it's Galveston. Yeah, there you go. You know, they should have called it the Gulf of Texas. I would be up to that. You can't give that to Texas. You can't give anything to Texas. You can't give anything to Texas.

We'll just, we'll buy it with the whole money. Oh, there you go. Give it down to the jambalaya. men down in Louisiana. All right. Let's see. Before we kick it over to the three, I just want to do a quick radio check

to the outlying stations. I guess, you know, sometimes we forget about the FDOs downrange and we forget to talk to them. And when you say, hey, radio check, we get a lot of feedback. So before we start to call, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

getting way off talking about Tech City. Price Bitcoin, $102,000, $102,9, I can't read, over $100,000, okay? Over $100,000, you're still rich, a little bit of a dip right now, buy it. You should be TD, buy the dip. All right, outlying stations here. Let's see, man, we got, got a lot of them, a lot outlying stations. Let's see, a lot of folks just sending us Marine Corps birthday memes. So we've got to talk about Marine Corps birthday.

I love that. In honor of the South Marine Corps birthday, which is also the Edmund Fitzgerald 50 crash. We did hear from Massonomics. Well, no, we didn't. Let me just read from the outlining station. South Dakota Army National Guard radio check over. Nothing new to report on our end.

So we got that one. We got Lieutenant Colonel Dan O'Connell says Semperfy Mac. let's see here we got the underpaid and overrated whatever the crew podcast you and you checking in my wife told me this morning we should hold off putting the trash bins out due to high winds I like it when she talks about trash with me hashtag trash talk hey you that's a keeper that's a good woman right there talk trash with the wife yeah talk trash with the wife uh Billy Martin says its head's going to explode, waiting until Sunday to get the podcast. So due to the government shut down, we're recording a little bit late.

I do believe this will come out Sunday because those that don't work for the government in other capacities, produce grants, podcasts, and therefore, I believe that they're still working and getting paid. So I think this will come out Sunday, worst case Monday. Actually, that's not even an option there, producer. It's going to come out Sunday. It's going to come out Sunday at 0.9 Eastern. and what am I talking about?

Why am I making coas for this guy? You're getting paid Sunday, zero-night. Let's see. We heard from the chaplain. Chaplain checking in trash six wanted me to remind y'all what my friend John Piper said, brother, we are not professionals. Even though we aren't professionals, every outlying station is a trash man and every trash man is an outlying station.

Jeff, I think you've always said that. That's true. I think you've always said that. Let's see. one more. This is from Kitchen 6. Dee, the salon lady says, tell Grant's buddy

to come home already. So we agree. Everyone would like Grant's buddy to come back. Has anyone told Grant's buddy to come home? Do we ever think of it? I think, I don't I just think that no one said, hey, Grant, you should come

home. Just go home. Well, not me, Grant's buddy. Yeah. Right. So that's what we've been missing. Yeah. That's what we've been missing. Let's see. Lance Corporate says we need more rules. No, that was a story reply, not a check-in. My bad.

My bad. And BW. Tax sent me a reel that I'm going to share it to the story right now. Making fun of Aggies. The sounds not even on. And it's just some guy with a big face, pointing finger pistols in the sky, yelling whoop or something, about a pep rally anyway so that's the outlying stations appreciate you

checking in we got a lot to cover today remind me for college football we got a special outlying station I'm going to save until we get to college football I know the government shut down we're going to do more with less we got it's been a while since we've all been in the same room talking trash

hey trash six here I know nobody oh man before before before before before grant's buddy and trash six get in the room i it's crazy like now like i've always been focused on it now i'm hyper focused on it like it's so i just like get up at normal speed now yeah and man i die i die in like a western uh shootout because like it is it's it is just crazy it like grown men and women just just and it's yeah it's crazy and so it's almost like a race can i stand up and be a poa faster than

the guy says carry on like that's it so he's like carry it's like yeah it's crazy it's wild uh okay trash six here here i know it's been a while since everybody's uh gotten together um you know a lot of people upset about the government shut down and i know you're not getting paid anymore but i think it's important we get everyone in the room you know there's not a lot of opportunities left to get this group of people in one room to talk, okay? And it's important for the command team, for the vision. So, first of all, I just want to update my priorities. Trash is still the number one priority.

Okay, it doesn't matter where you're going. So if we're going to send Grant's buddy home, all right, need all the trash secured in his barracks room. Okay. we need all the trash in the office secured we need the trash outside the barracks secured but most importantly we need his personal trash and gear to not look like trash if you're tracking everybody tracking so i don't want to see no frigging dog gone red white and blue crocs hanging off packs i don't want to see blankets wrapped around you know main packs i don't want to see sea bags with ninja turtle

stickers on it, right? Secure all trash for warfighting organization, 250 years with a legacy of John Basselone, Smedley Butler, okay? So freaking, you think Smedley Butler left that bar? No, that was Nicholas.

Who's that? Hey, trash six. Anyway, Marines for 250 years have been securing trash. It's a legacy that you lead and leave. three take it away uh thank you thank you trash six uh all right you may have seen some new folks

walking around the the the cp or the command post here uh right those are that's that's who's who's ripping out with us all right with force design uh updates coming down the pipeline uh recycling battalion is now going to replace us okay we're trash battalion but we've got recycling battalion coming in okay right this is with in accordance with combatants vision for Marine Corps Forest Design. Okay, so Recycling Battalion, I expect you all to show them.

Real quick, make sure we update the quad slides next week to putting the balls of the, take down the balls of the trash for Trash Battalion and put up the balls of recycling and make sure the upper right, you know, get the right logo up there. Show them to respect they deserve.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, that'll be main priority this week is just updated. the slide format it'll take all effort from the three shop we're going to put everything we've got into it we will not go home for the night we're sleeping at the office

to get the quad slide format updated a real quick three while you're updating the slide format I want you update actually this is for five this is five update the five W's format Oh okay You know we got six Ws

No no no no no regular five Ws you know we got a thing in there up towards the top below the name and it says alcohol incident yes no you know at the start because we just you know assume that 95% of our problems are alcohol related i want not in trash battalion okay we ain't got that problem so i want up at the top below the name and all the marines information that we're going to send to every sergeant major in the marine corps I want it to say trash incident, yes, no. That way, when 5Ws hit my box, I can see from the preview screen immediately if it's a trash incident, all right?

You got that for me five? Tracking. This is trash XO here, actual. We'll update that, sir, tracking. Why do we all sound like Alex Jones right now? he'd be a great battalion x-o i can tell you that much he really would he'd be a good five yeah yeah yeah okay free the second lieutenant's in talking about yeah theories yeah three three go ahead

continue oh great we got another PME with the battalion XO four hours long he's talking about wizard people again huh he's talking about Geh frogs, wild. Side bars to a minimum. Logging up. Logging up. Not completely off limits, but to a minimum, please, please. To a minimum.

That felt like there were maybe a couple too many. Yeah, a few. All right. S1, you got anything? We're tracking the numbers. Are they up to date? Yes, sir. The numbers are up to date.

you can see that we have Marines in Trash Battalion. And I did move the numbers for the people that are at Trash PME. So that is up there and we're tracking it. I know that we've crossed the 60-day hit list on a lot of our DTS vouchers. I don't know if you're aware. There's a government shutdown. So I keep getting yelled at by the G1. um to rectify all our dTS unpaid vouchers for them our admin um but sir there's actually a government

shutdown so that's well i need i need you to do more with nothing okay make make it happen oh okay you have me to do more with less with with nothing oh i'm sorry sir let me let me write in my green note more more with nothing is what we need to get done okay right we need to get out of that mindset of more with less, right? We need to be even more doing more with nothing. It's a mindset change. Hey, producer, tell me what to do to my camera

so it stops going blurry all the time. If you're not watching us on YouTube, check us out. Sidebars to a minimum. Sidebars to a minimum. All right, let's kick it over to the Deuce S2 Intel. That's you, Trey. sir i may uh just trying to check in we're trying to get some people for their ts clearance

but i don't know if you know there's a government shutdown uh that's happening so right now there's a lot of people that are just on the wait list to get their ts clearance um outside of that i was trying to get into the sipper but i'm not sure if you're aware there's a government shutdown so it's not working uh right now oh oh uh so i just google a bunch of stuff and i have a slide prepared of kind of what's going on in the world with all the various trash all the trash coming in everything so oh the trash pucks uh yes sir is that what they're called okay okay yeah i want next week and bring in that good work too by the way bring you good good work uh and i got some comments on the shutdown uh that i'll save my comments to the end but i want next

week i want you to bring in your staff nCO uh maybe a couple nCOs and let's just let's make it a secret no foreign for the first 10 minutes uh have everybody take a freaking dang smart watches off and just leave them outside and coming here i just i want to see a trash puck um i want to see what the red is doing against us so put some trash pucks on the screen you know show us where the trash is accumulating and uh so we can we can rectify that uh thanks too thanks too yeah yeah okay anything for with the weather we should be concerned about uh no sir the weather should be concerned about uh no sir the should be pretty conducive to picking up trash here next couple weeks. Okay. Yeah,

the way to keep you focused on mission. I appreciate you to you. That's it. You see that? That too, that's a major select. All right. Mission focused, mission results, mission essential. That's why he's a major select. By the way, major, worst rank in the Marine Corps.

Anyway, it's it. I'm sidebarring myself. Three, three. Keep us on track here. I promise my wife we'd be done and, you know, in three hours. So, okay, we've added, added a new tracker. We're tracking that the government is shut down. So that tracker is tracking that the government is shut down. Hey, real three, three, I'm going to hold all my comments to the end. Just a quick comment here, though.

I'm hearing, you know, we've been through two, two, two, two, war fighting functions so far in this beautiful brief. And, you know, when people ask me, You know, I talk to people, you know, first Sibdiv types, you know, they constantly say to me, well, the government shutdown is not impacting you, is it? And because I believe in doing more with nothing, I just say, oh, no, it's not affecting us at all. But I'm starting to feel like it is affecting us. Is that, am I reading the room correctly?

Well, we've been, you know, we've been trying to submit things through the T3. request and also the t-com requests for for funding and uh those are all getting kicked back because there is no funding because government shut down but three three so so suppo that's just because of different pots of money right that's you tray yes yes sir yeah it's a different pots money so so so what pot is actually empty right now due to the government shutdown so we're actually we've emptied all pots and all future pots are still empty at this time, too. So, okay.

Hey, let's take that offline. So put that on the schedule for Suppo to come and me and give me a pot brief. I just want to know, because there's got to be a pot somewhere with money. And, yeah, let's take that offline. That's not for the group. Everybody, nobody worry. Everything's going to be fine. Okay, three, three.

Get us over the four. Let's talk logistics. Amateurs talk money. Professionals talk logistics. It's what I've always said. Okay, yeah, as far, we'll kick it over to you. Yes, sir, yeah. Sir, as far as with the four, we're still getting prepared for the phase mode.

I don't know if you saw that Mar-Admin come down. There is, in fact, they verified that there is one Mother Earth, and we need to pick up the trash to take care of it and that more admin. That's good. Mission focus. Yes, sir, yeah. So in preparation for our turnover with a recycle, recycle battalion, we have set out a new green dumpsters for recycling.

We spray painting them green. I took money since we're not getting paid. I don't know if you're aware there is a government shutdown. I took money out of my own personal. What I say, we're not talking about the shutdown. The shutdown does not affect us, okay? I'm tired of everyone coming in here with a freaking dangar excuse about a government shutdown. We do more with nothing.

That's what I've always said. okay you guys come in next week with a better mindset trash six out and he left you're right oh thank god that's over crash six is gone man what a meeting that's good you know i will just say to to our listeners that love the brief I think that's one for the I think that's one for the record books that was a good one yeah I think that's one that's a good brief good brief oh yeah uh this episode is brought to you by BW tax BW tax great guy better at taxes uh it is coming to the end of the year it's November

I know this because Halloween happened and that means it's November and some people say when you see Christmas decorations in Home Depot you know know that Thanksgiving's about to happen. What I say and BW says is when you see Christmas directions at Home Depot, it's time to call the taxman. So give old BW Tax a call, BW Tax LLC.com. Love it. BW.

Great guy. All right. Great guy. Better at Texas. All right. Let's kick it over. I get so mad with these Christmas decorations. People just skimming over Thanksgiving, man.

Yeah, they're not thankful. Are you a big Thanksgiving decoration guy? You just appreciate them because you're like, hey, they deserve a chance to shine. Well, it's the best name a better holiday. I'll put it that way. Kind of can't because it really is all about chow. It really is the chow holiday. So like we're.

It's a chow. It's a chow holiday. And it's a football and chow holiday. That's a good point. Kind of is the ultimate. Like, it's the best. like you don't you don't have to worry about like there's no pressure of giving gifts you're just pushing chow it'd be really nice if we got the troops home for it but you know due to the government shut down

trash six is gone i can just sling zingers now is that hot dogs zing oh slings uh yeah is another colloquial yeah is that is that another type of hot dog for hot dogs because we're from the sages. All right. What's first? Well, let's see. We've got so many things. I want to get the bowling update.

I'm actually like dying to see what the bowling update is. A lot of bowling going on. A lot of bowling going on. Some people would say I'm on a bowling landing team. And short story, there was a week where I bowled five nights in a row. And, yeah, that's, it was on the teep. It was like leave work, bowling alley is only open for another hour, straight to the alley. The bottom's still coming up.

We have not broken 200. It's going to happen. Hit a couple more, 180s. Bottoms coming up, doing a lot of bowling. I mean, like, it's a man's game. And that's what I kind of want to talk about. So I got the bowling landing team's pretty good. It's about four of us that are regulars.

And then, you know, some of us come in and out. And we just, like, go in there and it's just, like, absolute clowns. Like, Jeff would love it. He'd be, like, singing the potato song. Everything would be great. But we realize it's like, if you have a little saying after everything, then, like, the game seems manageable. So, like, you go in, it's game one, right?

it's the first game of the night first guy goes to bowl and you know if if if it's not a strike you just like oh it's a warm up game warm up game and everything for 10 frames of the first game you just ah it's a warm up game uh and then you know if you go in and throw a strike you know we started everyone has a little saying for bowling so ours is like thumb to the nose right like you put your hand in you go you release it and you bring your thumb to the nose so we're off and like thumb to the nose some to the nose someone's bowling bad you're like hey jeff that was thumb to the hip you need thumb to the nose right so we'll do we'll do stuff like that and then one guy was in there one night and he was like teaching someone in the lane next to us like you know

same concept and he's like yeah you just go and then you just put it forward like a handshake and uh and i was immediately like yeah put what in the old vice and so now anytime someone bowls a strike you like walk up to your teammates and like you throw out a hand like if you were throwing the ball, you clasp and you kick your leg out, like if you were bowling. And so when you get hot, it can get kind of cumbersome because there's like a lot of handshakes going on and everyone's looking at you. It's a lot of handshakes. I'm forgetting some other good ones.

Maybe you're maybe you got a split going on or three pins left and you throw the ball and it just like knocks one pin rather than be like, oh, dang it didn't pick up the spare. You just say, we just say, well, you got that one. Um, you know, then we got little sayings of, you know, people have trends. I generally leave like the back left pin because I swear like the bowling. The pin master comes in and like glues it down. He knows. And so we call that a glizzy spare, uh, because I'm glizzy six.

So, you know, that, uh, we also play Dixieland a light a lot on the touch tunes. And, uh, sorry, Jeff. It's more to make fun of Alabama because there's always some rednecks in there. So, like, we put it on. and then we're like roll tad and then there's always like someone in the bowling i was like yeah you are you from alabama it's like no i hate Alabama and they're like oh and then we're like oh mad against the wall and like we do all the little sayings yeah it's kind of it's a weird joke that has developed um yeah i think that's about there's more there's a lot there's

there's always something to say but i've been having a lot of fun bowling a lot of fun bowling a lot of those it seems like those inside jokes have a lot of it's very heavy-handed grant on that I feel like you've started 90% of those I mean

I am known as the bowling landing team morale major captain but not all of them not all of them not all of them I didn't come up with you got that one yeah no we got some we got some personalities in the bowling alley a lot going up

have you have you had a turkey yeah kidding me a turkey you think bowl a 180 without a turkey well so then so that's another good one turkey pressure so it's like spare spare you're like knocking down the pins then you hit two then you hit two strikes in a row and you're like turkey pressure and then there's also team turkey pressure you know because like everyone's a team so it's like Jeff bowls a strike, Trey bowls a strike, it's up to me. So now it's team turkey pressure.

You can have like tick-tac-toe turkey pressure, or sometimes when like two people are bowling bad or everyone's bowling bad and someone gets a strike. We usually call that a slump buster. Like we need a slump buster here and someone hits a strike and then someone will say, well, that's a turkey somewhere.

And I don't really know what that one means. I think it's like kind of paying on it's like it's five o'clock somewhere. But we'll say that's a turkey somewhere. Yeah, turkey pressure, slump buster. And then sometimes if no one's bowling hot, we'll just say, hey, Troy, sometimes you just got to call balls and strikes. And he'll go strike. And then that one's like pretty useful.

Like that, like eight times out of 10, so you can't use it too much. If you just say those words, you'll bowl a strike. Yeah, bowling's about morale. It's not about skill. It's about outlook. Salvageable game. That's another one. Or if you're like a game nine or 10 or 15, I don't bowl that.

much but if you're on late in it and you're bowling bad you just go warm up game warm up game you bring it back yeah it's a second half second half team all right that's the bowling update hope you enjoyed a great update on bowling yeah successful pod let's see do we want to we can we can jump into sports there's a there's a lot to talk to jump in there let's jump in there um I'll do the couple non-college football related ones and then we'll jump into the college football stuff. But hey, you guys see that World Series, eh? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, because we got off schedule a little bit. Yeah, great finish. Toronto could have won it. I called Jays and 7. I was right. Just don't slide into home plate, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a, just an epic finish.

Yeah, it really was good. Sad for the Blue Jays. they just weren't meant to win it, I guess. Just not. Just not. Yep. Were y'all both pulling for the Blue Jays? Oh, big time.

I was. I can't speak for the killer bees. Yeah, I think so. I personally didn't. I just didn't want a I just didn't want a Canadian team to win. Yeah, so you wanted a Japanese team to win instead? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Dodgers. Dodgers. Yeah. Yamamujiwa, Shohayotan. If you're a baseball fan, if you're a

baseball fan, you can't be mad with that series. No, no. One for the game. Yeah, man. I'm not even baseball fan. I thought it was awesome. Yeah, it was good. It was good. And that 18 inning game was good. Get to watch it. Yeah. Well,

Dodgers got two in the last five years. I'm not counting 2020. That's fake news. but good good to see freddie freeman win another ring i like freddie freeman long time atlanta braves freddie freeman big braves guy uh okay

baseball adjacent every time you do if you're not watching this on YouTube there's a lot going on a lot going on okay so kind of baseball adjacent headline but you guys the name Victor Conte, does that, does that ring any bells?

I'll remember him at all. Victor Conte. Nope. You said baseball adjacent? Sorry, yeah, yeah. He was, he's not a baseball player. Sounds like he's an American musician. Oh, no, no, he's a steroids guy.

But he was the steroids guy. He died. Yeah, yeah, I do remember him. So then got me thinking, like, should we all get on steroids? It's like, uh, 75s, pretty good run. Yeah, I feel like we should all get on steroids as, you know, as a podcast. Let's do it. It might help my bowling game.

Just, oh, obliterate those. I listen to, I listen to a podcast on him, uh, and the scandal. I forgot what was called, but I mean, you might as well just listen to okay podcast because we're covering it. Yeah, we're covering. Yeah, we're giving you the cliff notes. Yeah, Cliff notes. It's Victor Conte.

Conte, great guy, huge bush. That's all you need to know. All right. And then you hear, we're all going to get on steroids. Grant's going to bowl 300 because he's just going to make all the pins explode. Yep, the glue, super glue won't hold any pins down. Why is a Grant's team? Just so all of them are jacked.

Look at these bowlers. Freaking, these dudes are studs, dude. He's a 30-pound ball. That's insane. Just Why is his bowling lanes made out of cast iron? Why is he cramp making everybody on his team

eating her bowled eggs before every bowl? Push and chow. Push and chow. Hey, it's good to do. It's what you do. Well, then. All right, then non-college football topics are covered. So we got that junk out of the way.

Let's talk some college football. Hey, this episode 083 of the OK podcast and this not Trey's Picks of the Week segment. That's coming next. But college football talk is brought to you by Mr. Helmut, Green, Gridiron, Gridiron, green. We're not sure. Click the link in the show notes and go buy yourself a football helmet. College ball. We got some games going on right now.

Yeah. Yeah. Northwestern tied up with USC 1414. USC's ranked Tulane To Tulane The future LSU coach Taking it to Auburn

Auburn coach Yeah All right We're gonna get at big games Are we're talking about Hugh Freeze leaving Good ridd I think you gotta start there

Good ridd You guys And I text I texted I am I texted Jeff like right Because what was

What was the final score that Kentucky Auburn game 10 to three or Auburn only scored I don't know if Kentucky scored again but yeah Auburn ended up with with three points I feel like it was 10 to three I think that was right I go you think he's done after you think he's done after

this yeah at that point I don't know it was like maybe the third quarter or late second quarter and I was like they don't put up any more points like and you're a you're an offensive guru like smell you later smell you later

or he that didn't work out so i'll be curious which direction they end up going i don't know i heard uh jimbo fisher might be in the i've seen it was a name in the i'm like yeah was name they were throwing around there well like hey well you don't have to pay him anything because he's still kind of getting paid by a and m so just like don't want a name's got you covered on that yeah yeah you still you're still uh living off that buyout money right okay cool well you're going to coach then just for free for a few years How about that? A little trial period.

I feel like A&M's paying $7.5 million a year to Jimbo Fisher until he dies. So it's what it seems like. Coach O, you're fired, but you're still going to get paid. Oh, still getting paid? Which do you want me to eggs at? How much did he? Well, how much was he freezes buyout? Oh, just a small $15 million.

So nothing, nothing too crazy. like in that crazy how that's like a bargain you're like oh 15 $15 million that seems like a bargain right there yeah I'll be curious which direction they end up going with Hugh Freeze LSU I've heard James Franklin's name being thrown around for Virginia Tech and Arkansas

I heard they're in a bidding war for that I heard Penn State's trying to pull Mike Elko up there from A&M, so that's Mike Shula fired Mike Shulia offensive coordinator for the game cocks

out smell you later got Fury Mike Fury former head coach of Limestone he's been with the team for a year but he's played for the rest of the season

let's say like I don't know what your projection is for the last couple games for South Carolina do you think oh they're going to win them all obviously

yeah maybe But do you think if he has another, let's say he goes six and six next year, you think, oh boy, it's South Carolina is going to be on the hot seat? I already think he's on the hot seat. You think he is now? Yeah, like I don't have him on the hot seat. I don't, like, they would have to finish terribly. I think, like, I think he's on the warm seat right now.

Like, the fans have him on the hot seat. I think the AD and the staff probably have him like on the warm seat. I think if he loses out and we lose to Clemson during their terrible year, I think anything's possible. Is it at home or away? It's at home because I went last year to Clemson. Clemson.

Clemson? Yeah, dude, home. I would imagine it's going to be an afternoon night game. It's going to be the season for both teams. And potentially they're fighting for bowl. like it could be huge when the palmetto ball and then

also make a bowl game so yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be a good game be a good game that dude that's gonna be fun that's gonna be fun to watch Thanksgiving weekend man oh I'm so excited

should we get into Tray's Trays picks of the week Absolutely you want to get into it let me see how we did all right this segment of the okay podcast is called Trey

Picks of the week. So we've always done it where Trey comes out with Picks. How are we doing it on the year, Trey? So last week, we ended up, we got third. We're kind of middle of the pack. But the guy who's in first got in

terribly. He was in last place last week. So we moved up. We're only one game behind first place right now. We're second. What are we over? One game. But no, no.

I want to know, like, are we, are we 25 and 15? Like, what are, what is our stats? So first, first place is 61 and 39, and we are 60 and 40. I'd say it's pretty good. I'd say that's like 60% odds that we get the picks right per capita. We, and like now it's like the picks are, there's a lot of them that are 50-50. So we can, if we do well. It's just, yeah, if we do, we don't pick any more stinkers like South Dakota.

I feel like we could do pretty. Hey, Harry, don't you go talking bad on South Dakota. We got our Army National Guard listening. Okay, real quick, outlying station college football. It's a perfect time to get it. Surprise listener, right? We're actually picking up, you know, I'm reading the analytics. We have a lot of people listening.

A lot of lieutenants in the West listening. A lot of different people listening. Someone came up to me, one of my bowling teammates, Troy Edward Campbell. He's like, hey, I got an interesting tidbit about the OK podcast. And I was like, I didn't think you'll. listen to a podcast. He's like, I don't, but my dad does. And my dad says, hey, I like this podcast. Pretty stinking good. Guys are funny. I like the college football segment. That's my favorite part. Troy's big sports guy. Dad's big sports guy. He's like, how come they never talk about the best team in the country ever?

Go on. Go on. Well, I mean, who do you think he's talking about? I've told you no details. where is he from well that would give it all away i've just like i know that's i think troy's dad will get a good kick out of this segment he's like why don't they ever talk about the best team in the country and i will tell you this like i believe the citadel's the best team in the country it's not that kind of that's not that kind of reference so okay so if it's if he thinks the best team in the country it's going to be super annoying if he's an ohio state fan. The Ohio State. Oh, my gosh.

I was going to say, bring them on the podcast. No, we should get them on anyway because I have the Big Midwest guys. Big Midwest guys. So that's an official invite to Troy Campbell the first. We want to get you on the pod. Talk some college football.

You got a bunch of Southerners, SEC football talk here because we're from the South. We want to get you on the pod and talk about the air quotes. If you're not, watching on YouTube best team in the country but are they one of your picks today Ohio State I don't think they are okay then I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it as a bonus round yeah I I say do as a bonus round I feel like they're pretty much their

schedule is pretty much cake up until Michigan I think that's their third third next one so they're gonna see roll just about anybody they're playing I do want to give a shout out because I feel like, Grant, you had, you made two notes last week. You called Clemson losing, right? Yep. You picked Duke, so, yeah, good note there. And then did you pick NC State to be Georgia Tech? I think I waffled and eventually went Georgia Tech and I was really mad during that game.

Actually, I might have, I think I said Duke and then you talked me to Clemson and Jeff picked Duke. I think I picked Duke. I can't remember. Can you have a listener? Let us know because Trey's supposed to own this segment and keep the data and the stats

and like literally I say make a note. He's supposed to make a note so we can reference it. These are the kind of things like I need you to do more with less, Trey. You're not seeing the mission. Not seeing this. And these notes are an official government document so we can

use these court martial if we need. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's CUI. All right. Let's get into these picks. Oh, man. All right, let's do the picks. Okay, first game we have right here. We got BYU heading to, I think this is college game day,

heading to Lubbock, Texas, take on Texas Tech. So undefeated BYU going to Lubbock. Lovick, Texas Tech is, you got 73% of people picking Texas Tech. I'm man of the people. giving him Red Raiders I don't know which way Jeff's going to go because of the greater area I got to go from I got to go no I got to go

with Texas Tech oh that's who I pick that's who I pick too I feel like Texas Tech if it was in Provo at BYU I would maybe go with them but I think that that Red Raider crowd's going to be up for it I did text tech steamrolling

like they're going to they're going to kill them I think and then they have one loss they lost to Utah I think okay no no they beat Utah they lost to Arizona State I think yeah it was weird it was a surprise it was a surprise yeah last week of the week before I can't remember

but yeah I think that was our one loss I can't keep track of my notes a little bit better so okay so we got in front of you yeah made a note okay there we go So we got Texas Tech there. Okay. Texas Tech coming on.

They got the number one recruiting class, I think, next year. So they're making new. Cross the board, 100%. All right. Next, we got kind of obscure. Southern Miss Golden Eagles going to Arkansas State. Red Wolves. I hate these games.

I'm going by mascot on this. So you got what type of eagle? The Golden Eagle. Golden Eagle versus Red Wolf you think that's like a small wolf that like an eagle could pick up Yeah Oh yeah

Especially okay I'm going I'm going I'm going Golden Eagles just up mascots I don't even know the records That's good I'm going Golden Eagles as well Brett Farms is all the monitor I'm going with Oh okay

Oh look at that Okay no notes Look at that okay Tied it back in Yeah and also 90% of people picked school. So, all right, next one we have. We have Jacksonville State, Gamecox, going to U-Tap, El Paso. Or the records?

So we have Jacksonville State is five and three, and then we have U-TEP at two and six. Give me the Gamecocks. Yeah, we're a big Gamecocks podcast. Gamecocks podcast. Jacksonville State. I feel like they've got another famous alumni. They do. Jerry Rice? Did you go there?

Alvin Wright Todd Jones mustache Jerry Ross went to like southern or something like that Mississippi Valley I knew it was one of those state schools

Texan Amgis? Yeah, Texanin M. Versus Missouri. Versus the Missouri Tigers. I'm defeated. I'm going ATM. I feel

that's who I picked. Yeah. I feel like they're on a heater right now. That's you just picked right now. You didn't pre-make the picks. You can't make the picks until you listen to the analysis

from your co-host. If you took it, yeah, if you took it that way, yeah, if you took it that way, that's not what I intended. Yeah, okay, good. Yeah, just want to make sure that we clarify and tracking. And I don't change them after we talk about it. No, no, no, no, no, yeah. That's why it's fine. Next, this one's an interesting one.

All right. So next, we got Oregon, the Oregon Ducks going to Iowa State. No, Iowa Hawkeyes, excuse me. So Iowa, number 20, six and two, Oregon, seven, I've played a relatively soft schedule up until now. I like the Hawkeyes. It's supposed to be bad. I do.

Like rainy. I like the hot guys too. Hawkeyes got a good deed. They're the only team I think that's held Indiana to like a 7-10 point game. So, you know, their defense is good. That's what I'm going with. I'm going to go Oregon just to go to go on the screen. I'm going to make a note.

and I'm writing this down. Technically only I tell you to make notes. And like Jeff's just like going against the grain. Write it down. Yeah. Oh, I need to make three separate columns. Going against the grain, Jeff. Jeff, Oregon.

Okay. Yeah. All right. Next one we got. We have Iowa State five and four going to Fort Worth to play the TCU Hornfrogs. six and two TCU I like TCU They're Christians you know

What in there? Put me down for TCU Okay so we got a sweep No notes made those Texas No notes Next we got Kansas The Jayhawks going to Arizona to play the Wildcats

to play the 8-1 Cavaliers. Give me the Cavs. Yeah, I got... You got Cavs? I kind of like that team. But fun fact, a guy I went to high school with who's now currently I don't know if he's still F-18s,

but he's a pilot. He might have transitioned over to F-35, but he was the demon deacon when he went to Wake Forest. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

It's pretty good. But that could be an upset. That would be one to watch, but... You're going calves? No, yeah, I'm going calves, too, but it wouldn't surprise me if Wake Forest pulled that out. Virginia's been trying to lose a game all year, so... They have been.

They really have been. It's tough to do that against tall grass. It is, yeah. It is, yeah. So, all right, next, we have the four-and-four Seminoles, Florida State, going to play Clemson. we know they're capable so we have four and four

playing a three and five team I'm going I'm kind of leaning Seminoles on this one Seminoles Seminoles Seminoles Seminoles all day I don't even think it's close

Mr. Troy Campbell, best team in the country. I mean he does have a point they're ranked number one they are number one they're 8-0 Ryan Day's

jerk give me the Buckeyes I mean that's kind of easy they're playing Purdue give me the Buckeyes by 21 is that what the spread is I didn't look

but I can off the dome spread is Yahoo don't want to tell me. I can never find ESPN

in Japan because it's just I mean I can find it but there's like no NCAA button and it just takes me to football and it's like a soccer game

and it's weird. It is Ohio State Purdue 26 and a half. Yeah, it was close. I got the right. vibe. So you think they're going to cover?

No, I said 21. He said 21. It opened at that. I think it's now at 30 and a half. Geez. Yeah, I see him just running out of the building. You have them covering. Jeff.

So, I mean, got to go Ohio State. Yeah. I'll be curious. Yeah. I'm excited for them to play like a good team somebody because that yeah right like what like their big their big win this year is Texas in Texas he's not good they looked okay in Vanderbilt Texas not good better they look better that's how

we've always done special bonus rounds if you have a dad and he listens to this podcast you just hit us up we'll talk about them and not only will we pick his team but we'll pick the spread so I say they win by 21. Do not cover. Trey says they win by more than 30 and a half. Jeff? Yeah, Ohio State's not going to cover. Yeah.

Okay. So he's got it. Got it. Okay. All right. Now, for real football, getting into the action,

the real best team in the country. Coming up at four and five, you know, Lane Kiffin's been talking a lot of smack. Been talking a lot of smack is eight and one. Ole Miss rebels. If there's one thing I know about Ole Miss, is that they like to crumble.

And I want to take you back a little down memory lane here, right? I want to take you back down to 2011. Excuse me, yeah, 2011. I want to take you to the Citadel Bulldogs, upset in the South Carolina Gamecocks. All right. So they beat the big teams before. We also go back in 1994,

which they've done that before against the Gamecox. Maybe the Gamecocks had a problem with the Bulldogs. But this team came back, scored 34 second half points and won the silver. Shako against VMI last week. They got a lot of close games. They're running that. They're running the veer like every team should, but they can throw the go ball, which is usually what they're missing.

I also want to take you back to halftime in 2013 when the Citadel was up 10 to nothing against Alabama, okay? Against Alabama, I got the Citadel Bulldogs. I got the Citadel Bulldogs leading, leading at the, some point in the first half. Okay. Got it leading within some point of the first half. And what's the spread on that game, Trey? That's, that's such a good bet. Let me see. At some point, the Citadel is going to lead. The line is 53 and a half. Gee, Ole Miss does not cover. Ole Miss does not cover. And the Citadel is up at some point in

the game. I can see that. I could yeah I can see Jeff's not seeing it I can't doubt those bulldogs you gotta you gotta get out never kind of sit in L, man out never kind of sit in L man out

I wish you could put money on that like hey will they be up three to nothing at some point Oh there's a way to put money on that You track in Bitcoin money on anything maybe Yeah there's definitely way to put money on that All right let's let's read you about

Yeah we're on college football news.com Okay gives it's a break for the rebels before, okay, see that mindset right now? That mindset. It's a break for the rebels before the finishing kick, but the Bulldogs have a funky style to deal with. Here's the college football news, Old Miss for Citadel preview. Yeah, Old Miss is going to win. And yeah, if it goes full throttle, it'll get ugly. But no one wants to face a team that runs the ball like the Citadel Bulldogs. The Bulldogs run their option style of attack that always throws a curveball when it works it's dominant it's four and five but a fun team coming off a strong win over vm i okay

citadel go dogs there we go all right three i think we got one maybe two topics for we bring this thing in for landing and we got to cover child talk you want quick you want quick topics wait you want chow talk or no we can we can push chow talk we got to chow talk about we got to talk Marine Corps birthday. House of Dynamite sucks. We get on that? Don't watch it. Don't watch it. The house of dynamite sucks. Daylight savings also sucks. True. Well, the one in the fall is nice to get that extra hour. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Okay. Okay. Yep, that covers that. Yeah, that's that. Let's get a chat talk. This is fitting. Since we've been recording, my wife has said, should I order a pizza?

I feel like I should order a pizza. And I just wrote back in all caps. Order that pizza. I'm going to FaceTime for it. So she's ordering Al's New York pizza. Not my favorite spot for just the pizza. It's what I served at my dinner rehearsal. My favorite spot is Italian. You know, my favorite spot for like pizza, N-O-C.

I do like Sergeant Pep's pizza and I like to go there. or sergeant pepperonies. But Al's like, if I just want to slice in Orange County, that's where I'm going. Or a pie. When I say slice, I mean, all the slices in a pie. I can take down a pizza. Like, I mean, I know a lot of people can't, but I mean, it's like old 18 inch New York style. Yeah, I got to have three minutes.

All right. He's done. What do you think I'm busy? You don't think I got three minutes? That's your preferred, your preferred styles, like a thinner, like New York kind of vibe. Yeah, I think that comes from we would eat Pizza Hut occasionally in the South. The South can't make pizza, but like pizza I like growing up, we went to Pete. No, they can't.

I mean, it's just like there's what the South is the South. They make, they make like pineapple upside down casserole, but like they can't make pizza. Pizza works, Worcester, Massachusetts. When we would go to Worcester, which was a lot. it was like a big deal we'd go to pizza works and they just served thin crusts good sauce you know one topping i mean i'm sure you could get more but it was like we'd get a cheese we'd get a sausage we'd get a pepperoni i like these days i'm just getting cheese or pepperoni uh then yeah that's my style trey you got preferred style or you're just like hey if it's

yeah i'm kind of the same way man i'm kind of i'm kind of the thin the oven uh what am i think enough like you know the the big giant ovens like they like a wood fire super thin yeah wood fire pizza you know he loves a good brick oven bw tacks a walk into a place oh i knew we like pizza yeah it's great guy good pizza okay better taxes though yeah what about you jeff i can see jeff like in like detroit style or something well i i that's actually i'm gonna plug that because there is a place here or in Salt Lake City called Bricks Corner. And I'd never had Detroit style until moving to Salt Lake City,

which is often what they say is like, hey, you want to experience Detroit, you go to Salt Lake City. Yeah, that's what you've always said that. Everyone says that, really. But it's amazing. Like, one of my favorite pizzas I've ever had. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, man, that place was good. Yeah. Dude, it's so good. Big fan. So you like lasagna. But I do. It is a cassero. It's like a very, like, airy, like, kind of fluffy pizza, but it is, it's not like, I don't know.

It's, it's great. Okay. I got to make a quick plug here. Detroit, but that's my, that's my spot. Every time I say that's what I've always said or you guys say that's what you've always said, it's what you've always said. It's always true. But, like, what's actually true is I always say, all pizza is good pizza. Like, there's no bad, like, all pizza is good.

pizza and then there's just like levels of greatness i would probably like your detroit like pizza it's good day old cold in the fridge good pizza hunts pizza at every px comes by the slice like it like it it checks the mail you're on the lpd deuce duce san diego and it's pizza night and you're out of ingredients because you've been floating too long and it's like a piece of bread with some marinara and a craft single on top not bad honestly it's a spot but yeah but honestly i do prefer like a a wood fire like pizza there's just not a lot there's there's one we did find uh kind of 20 minutes out that we are where we are and it's kind of like a sand lot the sandlot the movie was filmed in like that area so i didn't know

that the the big like pizza oven is called the bam bino it's like it's got that's got that's pretty awesome um and now i'm trying to so portnoy did some some utah salt lake city reviews and the one that he gave like a eight two or something like that is like you have to like pre-order it and they they only make x number of pizzas and so i've been trying to snag one of those the last couple like orders but there's like thousand there's like 1500 people in the waiting room for this thing and then they they only make like a hundred per drop or whatever it is love it fast you haven't done it yet haven't i haven't snagged one yet i've tried twice now i will say like no dice i will i will say poor notice pizza reviews are entertaining uh

one but two i've like in the new england market um done like what his rules like over eight point one like you got to drive like it's worth to drive if it's below that like it's really good but like it's over and like i've gone to a few of them and have never been disappointed so uh yeah you got to get that pizza and give us a pizza review man we did that like in when we went to new york we did that like that's all we did for like half a day is we just yeah would buy a slice like oh portnoyd rate this like 8.2 let's go here what a business that's what i want to do what a business um pizza it's a great chat to I think Grant's buddy's got to hit the road.
