• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the game. You're listening to stuccattson Company. She is the

• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Me and Lucy's new show.
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: It made me happy. It's very cute.

• 0:54
  Speaker 6: Yes, I like the name of our show. I should
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: I came up with it?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Are you excited?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: We're just eleven days away here from week zero in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: college football. I'm not certain outside of Lucy, really, you're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in the top five. In terms of people I know
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: who love college football, it's Lucy, you Gojo Goliic, and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think Paul find them Taylor.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I do love college football. Now North Carolina has Damperman.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: He doesn't love it. He doesn't.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has ruined the college football experience for him. Jess, So,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: how excited are you eleven days away from Week zero?
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited too. And you know what really makes
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: me excited this year Week zero? I have a wedding,
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: but it's a Friday wedding, and so I will get
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: to be on the couch, maybe a little hungover Saturday,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: to watch Taylor's North Carolina tar Heels taking on the
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: TCU Horned Frogs from Dublin.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jess, I know you've had the opportunity to go
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to Ireland before for a Week zero Notre Dame game.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that was the year they absolutely destroyed Navy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you for your service, Navy. I had a company
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: reach out to say, hey, we'll send you to TCU
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. I said, rather do anything else?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Really, I that is stunning to me. So look, I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: not gonna lie to you. Sometimes when there are certain
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: neutral site college football games or destination college football games,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: like this year there's a Kansas Arizona state game at
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Wembley Stadium. There was supposed to be a North Carolina
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Virginia game in Brazil that got moved back to the
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: US because I think the ticket sales were not what
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: they expected.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: But the Dublin game, I feel like, is the exception.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Like I really like that game because I personally have
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: been to it and I had a great time. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: especially if it's a game that your team's expected to win,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: they're a big favorite, and like Notre Dame was, it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: a great excuse to go abroad, travel see the cliffs
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: of More, travel around Ireland's amazing, and then you get
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: a game at the end of it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: But if I were YouTube, that's the problem. That's tough.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: It's tough because at the end of your fun week
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: of sight seeing, you gotta watch North Carolina.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: At the end of the rainbow. There's not a pot
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: of gold. That's just Billy Edwards junior playing quarterback. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I don't really want to do that eight hour flight back.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Wait, jess, let's be clear on exactly what was offered
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to Taylor here. They offered you a free chip trip.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Was there money involved? What else was involved here?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Just flight? Just flight and hotel.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, how do you say no to that? It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: a free trip to Ireland? Then, with Jess on this fight,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: flights to.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Europe right now are not cheap. I would take that
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: flight and then I just stay in Europe for like
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: a month and get my money's worth. If I were you,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I would know I'm planning a honeymoon right now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, gas price is not good.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Really, whose decision? Whose final decision is it on the honeymoon?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: The destination is it?
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It's yours?
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's a great that's a great question.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I would say Lehman has been to more places abroad,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: so it kind of narrows it down because I was like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I don't want to go somewhere you've already been on
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: our honeymoon.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: We should go somewhere for the first time together.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: So that has sort of helped shape it away from
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: some of the places that he really wanted to do
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: that I was like, you've already done.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: That like six times. I'm not going to Japan with
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: you again. So that's helped. But I'd say it's like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: you know, sixty forty my way.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well it should be eighty twenty.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It should be one hundred percent your way, just so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean it should. Taylor has a question
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for you. I don't know what this Chris Simms take was.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what he's talking about. He's wanted
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to discuss it for two days now. I've avoided it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It's something about a dog.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'll let Taylor take it from here.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Taylor.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was listening to the Unbuttoned podcast with
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Chris Sims, and I figured we'd save it for Jess
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: because Jess is such a huge dog person.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Sims was mad that he keeps ordering Uber Eats or
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: delivery to his house and the delivery driver that he
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: keeps getting will not get out of the car because
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Sims has his dog running free roam around his house.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And Sims sim.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Sims wants it delivered to him, fed to him all
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: of that. Sims's question was is it part of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: job as a delivery driver to be comfortable around dogs?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He was arguing that when you when you sign up
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: for it, that's something that you sign up for that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: is one of.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: The most insane things that I have ever heard. Absolutely
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: not your dog.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I agree with sim.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Running around your house.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: There's Look, let's be clear, there's not a lot of
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: things I would agree with Chris sims On to begin with,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: but this one is definitely on the no list.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Taylor.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I also love the idea that sims lives in such
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: a reclusive area that there's one Uber driver, there's one
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Uber Eats guy that will come to the house.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: There's one house the dog just runs free.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: There is a loose dog, your loose dog inside of
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: your backing of delivery.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: What do you do it?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: No, but it is a delivery delivery guy's responsibility to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: avoid whatever is in front of them and get the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: food to your front door.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I mean that's the job, isn't it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: I don't know about that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: If I see a loose dog, I'm and I'm a
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: dog person a dog and she's loose sometimes, and I'm
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: not going up to someone else's loose dog.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Stu, what is the argument it's a dog? Mean? Because
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: if you don't know that dog and that dog is vicious,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that dog can become your biggest problem very quickly.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Man's best friend.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Also Stu gotts.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: This guy doesn't know this is Chris Simm's dog. This
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: could be anyone's dog. You don't know how people train
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: their dogs. That's the problem with dog ownership. You may
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: trust your dog, and I put my dog off leash.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I could do all this stuff with my dog. My
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: dog's great, But the second your dog encounter someone else's
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: lesser trained dog, all bets are off. Like you can
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: never trust other people's abilities to train their dogs.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Question for the room.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Does the size of the dog matter in this?
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, I guess it's actually it does.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess what kind of dog are we talking here?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: So I had this problem when I went to Sims's
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: draft party that he really didn't invite me to. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: kind of just invited myself there. He lives in like
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a very tucked away private area, so it's not like
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you're running into other dogs or other neighbors. The dog
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: is very small, but the dog, the dog is very yappy,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And I remember I had the same thing when I parked.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: The dog immediately runs up to your car and will
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: be barking, And when I'm opening the door, I'm like, man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: this would be a terrible way to go into this
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: party to tell Sims that I had to kick his dog.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Wait, so this is a small dog. This is like
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: a ten pound or smaller dog.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I would say it's around twenty pounds.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: It's right on the border. I don't know if it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: small really fifteen pounds.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because that dog, I'm just like I'm palming it
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: like a basketball and saying get away from me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Like that dog's teeth are not going to do as
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: much damage.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: If I was picturing like a huge some sort of
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: hound or something.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Right, you imagine Sims to have like a rot or
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: something like that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, like a guard dog.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: No, it sounds like this is just like some little
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: like gappy toy toy dog.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So Taylor, what does the driver do? Sims has to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: go out to the car to get his food.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the driver will. The driver will message Sims and say,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you've got a dog outside my door. I'm not getting out.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You have to come. And then Sims has to make
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the trek down from his six story mansion.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: It's like a two mile trek. Just to be exact, I.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Mean, this is ridiculous. I'm I'm team delivery driver on
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: this one.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: So does does the social agreement that the delivery driver
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: have change if it's a mailman or a mail person.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: M huh, that's a great question. Really, you gotta get
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: you gotta get your mail.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You know you have to, Yes, But what if a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: dog is protecting that mailbox?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but the mail person doesn't often have to get
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: out of the car, right, I.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Mean, I guess if you're good enough at that. If
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you're good enough, yes, technically you could drive right up
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to the mailbox, knock it out of the car, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: just drop the mail in the mailbox.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Do you think Chris Sims has someone who takes He
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: hires someone who takes the mail out of the mailbox
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: at the end of his long driveway at his mansion
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: and carries it up to his front door.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Because I would not put that past him.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I applied for that job actually benefits, It pays.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Better than this one. I mean about that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Your steps in.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: All right, we have a game for you. I love
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: preseason polls. I do you have to start somewhere, Jess?
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: You do? You need to lay some groundwork.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It starts somewhere, and the ap the fact that it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: still important to some people that makes me happy the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: AP preseason Top twenty five pole.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: But we have a game too high, too lower, just
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: right for you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Taylor is going to be the host of this particular
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: game show, So Taylor take it away here.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Welcome in, Jess. The first team today, the number five
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: team in the eight pe pole.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Why are you dancing, guests? Good music?
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: I like this music. It's great, Nancy.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's the combination of the music in the fact we're
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: talking at college football, right, Yeah, yeah, it's.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: A good combo.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: If this music sounds familiar, it's also the music for
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Lucy or Goosey with Lucy Rodin.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: That's right. Yes.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: The first team, the Texas Longhorns coming in at number five. Wow,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: too high, too low, or just right?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I'll say too high, wow? Really, And that's that's just
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: because I think there's a few teams behind Texas that
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: might be a little too low. I think Texas is
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: going to be great, and I think they have loaded up.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: The team with skill position players.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Arch Manning had a really good November coming off of
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: an end of a season that was hot. But I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: kind of nervous about the old line, and there was
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: news today that their starting left tackle might be out
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: for a few weeks tbd on what his injury is.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: But when you have a run game that's not going
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: so hot and you try to fix it by just
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: slapping a couple transfer running backs on your team like
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: that kind of makes me a little nervous because transfer
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: running backs have not It doesn't always translate team to
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: team like your run games still have. You still have
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: to have a good offensive line. You still have to
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: have a good run game. You can't just kind of
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: import a couple players and hope, hope for the best.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: So this is on sark if it doesn't work out,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: because I think they do have the players for it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: But you know, we just have to kind of wait
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: and see how it all comes together.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Next team or do I have to put on my
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: do I have to put on my announcer voice to
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: do this?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Ye oh wait, we're all playing any of that? Okay?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I do?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Sorry? Oh all right?
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Uh. For our next team, we have the number six
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: college football reigning champion Indiana Hoosiers.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Too high, too low or just right?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I could promise you. Signetti feels like it's way too
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: high or low. I forget. I don't know how to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: play the game. But he feels disrespected and he's using
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: it as a chip. There's no question about it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, I would.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Say too low.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I would have put Indiana above Texas through the defending champs.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Yes they have a new quarterback.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Yes they did lose a lot of talent in the
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: off season, but they also gained some really exciting talent
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: in the transfer portal.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: And Kurt Signetti, as lame and cliche as.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: It sounds, is just a winner and knows how to
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: win games, and knows especially how to win games in
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: this era of college football.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: So I think if you're the defending national champs.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: And you won sixteen games, even if you lost the
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: number one overall pick to the draft, it's kind of like,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, prove me.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Wrong, you know.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And Jess, I saw this quote from Kirk Signetti where
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: if you have any doubts about this Indiana team, part
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of my take asked him on what it's going to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: be like being hunted this year, and Kirk Signetti said,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I bought a bigger gun, but.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: No one hunts number six. I mean he's going to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: use that and he should. He deserves better, I mean
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he should.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: And also they don't really even play anyone until like
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: weeks seven, I want to say, when they play Ohio State.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: So they're gonna start this year like five and oh,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: six and oh, and they're all the.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Other teams above them.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: A few of them have some tougher games before, so
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: they might be in the top five by then.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: In the A people our next team, the Texas Tech
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Red Raiders. Just too high, too low? Or just right?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: What a time in college football we're asking about Indiana
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and Texas Tech.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: It's amazing, It's ridiculous.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: I think too low.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: I think this team is a lock for a undefeated season.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: I'll put it right there. Twelve and oh, I think
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: they are a lock.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Their win total, I believe was either ten and a
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: half or eleven and a half, and that was before
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: the Brennan Soresby situation. But I don't even think it's
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: really changed since then because the quality of opponent.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, I think.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Houston will be pretty good this year. I think Stutts,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: what it's surprise you to learn that Houston won ten
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: games in twenty twenty five, because I think it might
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: surprise a lot of people. I think Arizona is going
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: to be really good. I think TCU at the end
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: of the season could give them a challenge. But I
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: really think this Texas Tech team, especially the defense and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: the players that they have gotten to play in the trenches,
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: are just so good that I don't I have a
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: tough time seeing them outside of a top six at
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: the end of the season.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: When we're doing college football playoff rankings.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soresby just heard the word lock and ran to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Betett about that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Uh oh God, I shouldn't did I that was too easy.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: I should have done that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: You're welk me right there, come back.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, the first ever guaranteed undefeated season's guaranteed.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: It's just not a tough scud. Really, you don't have
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: to play BYU. It's just the Big twelve.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: You're non conference is a joke, like it's abling Christian,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Oregon State and Sam Houston.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Come on, Yes, I'm not questioning you. I haven't looked
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: at anyone schedule yet, so I'm sorry.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Well, don't worry, I've done it for you.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Mikes, all right.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: For our next team, we're gonna go one spot.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Why are you doing it higher?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Because he told me to do.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: An announcer boys.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: I like it because you can't as I was saying,
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: one spot higher, and we're going to go to Lane
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Kiffin's LSU Tigers at number eleven.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Too high, too low or just right?
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: That is a tricky one.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I kind of think maybe too low, because I really
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: like the Charlie Wise junior Lane Kiffin combination when it
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: comes to offense and making making life easy for their quarterbacks.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: And Sam Levitt had he was a little banged up
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: last year, didn't. I think you played in like seven games,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and it's probably a downgrade compared to Trinidad Champliss. I
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: don't think that's a hot take, but I do think
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: what they do offensively will win them games. And I
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: think that retaining Blake Baker as the defensive coordinator and
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: having some a little bit more continuity on that side
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: gives them a better chance at being like a more
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: well rounded team than maybe some people are giving them
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: credit for.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: The next team up comes from the Daunted SEC Conference
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Jess number thirteen, the Alabama Crimson time.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Please say too high or too long?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Too high, too low or just right?
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Wait? Is the highest number one or is the lowest
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: number one? Okay? Good? All right? Too high too low eight.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: That's both you.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Got it, you got don't overthink it. I think they're
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: ranked too high. I think they should be out of
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the top fifteen. Frankly, I was really not impressed with
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: the way their season ended.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: No one was.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: They got blown out by Indiana and the Rose Bowl,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: and this year, I just don't know if I've seen
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: enough proven answers on the offensive side. The quarterback situation
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: is still a little bit up in the air, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: they don't have a ton of experience if they go
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: with Keilon Russell, the five star recruit, and I just
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of QUI just about the offense
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: in general. I do think the defense is still going
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: to be really, really good, and I think their secondary
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: will probably be really good, so it'll be tough for
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: other teams to score on them, and I think.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: That definitely helps.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: But I just I need to see them fix this
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: offense before I'm like, yeah, this is a really underrated
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Alabama team.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Mikey, go ahead, take it away with your
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: broadcast thory voice.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Okay, for our last one?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Is this better if I do it like this?
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Okay for our last one, Jess, Yes, it is Number sixteen.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: Don't tell them the Ohio State game matters Michigan too high,
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: too low?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Just right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: I kind of think it's just right. Yes, I kind
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: of think it's just kind of where you would put
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: anything out of the top fifteen. It's teams that.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Might win, you know, between like nine and ten games,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: give or take. And I think that I like Kyle
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Whittingham as a replacement there at head coach. I think
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: the defensive coordinator who came from BUYU is a good
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: defensive coordinator.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: And I like the Jason Beck edition at OC working with.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Bryce Underwood, who was a true freshman last year, and
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I just think needs more support and needs to like
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: just kind of improve in his finesse. And also like
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: the way that the offense is called. I think could
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: probably support him a little bit more so. I like
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: the transfers they've brought in their schedules.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's not the hardest schedule. It's not the easiest schedule.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: They have the you know, Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana and
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma games, which are gonna be tough. But if you
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: if you maybe you have an upset in one of
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: those games and then win the games that you're supposed
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: to win beat the Iowas of the world and the
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: penn States of the world.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Like, I think that's a good season for Michigan this year.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And she is the host of The Echo's podcast with
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Gojo and host the College Football Happy Hour with Lucy Rodin,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: available on YouTube.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I did that just to make you smile again.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: We have another game to play called hand Up. We'll
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: get to it in just a second. Were you surprised
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that not a single SEC team received a first place
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: vote from anyone in the AP.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: I was a little surprised that Georgia didn't get any,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Like I figured they'd get one or two. I think
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: that's the team where they won the SEC championship last year.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: They return a lot of younger players on their defense.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Gunner Stockton's back Kirby Smarts won multiple national championships.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised they didn't get one vote.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, weird, but it's shifting and that's a good thing,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I think because I'm tired of the SEC.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Let's play hand Up. Give me the music, oh.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Just I also had one last week that I wanted
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: to get your take on not dancing for I had
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: a hand up last week, I didn't realize Brian Bosworth
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: the bos was the sheriff in the doctor Pepper commercial.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: He had no idea, okay, we would do a college
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: football villains.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I think, yes, hand up.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: I have some form of amnesia that only occurs when
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: commercials are on, where you know how people have like
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: face blindness. We're like they'll see a face, but they
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: can't register it. Like that happens to me during commercials.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Everything goes blank and I have never Like I am
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: not kidding, I couldn't tell you a single commercial that's
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: on TV right now because my brain just goes completely
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: smooth when it's a commercial break.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Those Colonel Sanders KFC commercials where they had different actors
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: dressing up as the colonel, they must have just terrified
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: you because it was always somewhat famous, but you couldn't
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: tell who it was.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think, I don't know. I don't
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: even know what you're talking about. I don't think I
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: saw boy.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I think I just.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Blacked out during them.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Just last week, I googled where is Brian Bosworth now?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And when I got to Google images, I was like,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: why do they keep showing me the sheriff from Dr Pepper.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: That's where I didn't know.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that either.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: And I've heard that the Fansville commercials are incredible and
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: the world building is so great. I just have never
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: registered a single commercial in my life, so I'll start.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: It for this week. Okay, I was watching a soccer match,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Ashton Villa versus PSG. They have this villa has a
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: seventeen year old Brian Majo, and he's from Luxembourg. Hand up,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I didn't know Luxembourg was a country. I thought that
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: was just a city in like the Netherlands.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Get out of here.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: But I mean it's very, very small.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: If that makes you feel better, yes, put it on
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the poll.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Did you know Luxembourg was a country.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But if I told you were going to Luxembourg, Belgium,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: that kind of sounds right.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it got that's fair. I think you
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: could definitely trick someone that way.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: What are you saying it's the rare country that also
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: sounds like it could be a country.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Capital Luxembourg, Netherlands.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, if you say so, Mike, Yeah, you got one
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Hand up.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: I'm overdoing it with the fantasy football prep and I'm
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: kind of getting embarrassed with how much I'm doing, whether
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: it be mock drafting or reading. I've got about four
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: magazines in front of me, and I'm not very good
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: at it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: We'll stop doing it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little information on.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: I quit Fantasy Cold Turkey like three years ago because
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: I was like in way too deep and really it
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: was like impact, yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, I'd like, go ahead, how many leagues
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: were you in, like at the height of your fantasy Like,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: how many leagues were you in at one time?
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: It wasn't just the fantasy leagues. It was like the
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: pick'm pools I was in, so like combined. I think
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: it was probably like approaching like ten in a season,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: and so like my Thursday and my Friday, I would
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: just be like.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I gotta get my picks.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: In before the weekend, and like it would, I would
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: spend hours just making sure I was like set, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: it'd probably be better if I was just like, let
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: me slim this down.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe I only do you want or two? But I
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: decided just to quit Cold Turkey.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Just I quit Cold Turkey preseason magazines this year really, yeah,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: because I get the magazines I flipped to, like who
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: North Carolina is playing. And then the second the season starts, Yes,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: that Phil Steel one.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: And let me be the classic. It's that classic.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Let me be the first to say on this program
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the people that are doing counterfeit magazines of Phil Steel
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: on Amazon, shame on you. Yes, dedicates a ton of
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: time to doing those magazines. Yes, magazines I used to enjoy.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: The problem just is the second the season starts, I
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: will never open that magazine ever again.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: I think that's fair, and that's why the magazines are
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: great for the preseason. And for instance, this weekend, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: was on a long train ride and it was cold
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: and the Wi Fi was crappy, so I snuck this
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: bad Boy in my backpack, my Phil Steel college football preview,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: and I just flipped through it and I didn't have
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: to use internet, and it was great and I learned
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: so much Taylor, which kind of leads me to my
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: hand up.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: Actually, all right, hand up. This time of year, when
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: it comes to whether or.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Not a college football team is good or bad, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: could kind of convince me of anything, like if you
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: make a convincing enough argument for like North Carolina is
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: their defense.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Is gonna be good enough? That they're gonna win seven games.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I'd be like, yeah, okay, great, I'll buy it. Like
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: you can kind of convince me of just about anything
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: right now, because everything is a blank slate, and I
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: feel like I'm very easily swayed.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: The quarterback play was so bad at North Carolina last season, yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: that it was hard to evaluate the rest of the roster.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: So if the quarterback is even just slightly better, they
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: could be better this season, right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Taylor, There's so many things you could I'm not saying
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: like you could convince.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Me they're a playoff team. That's not what I mean.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: I just mean like you could give me the optimistic
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: or pessimistic explanation for each team and I'd be like, yeah,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: that's probably gonna happen. Like, oh, well, you know, Billy
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Edwards had a couple of games at Maryland, so I
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: mean maybe maybe they got something there. Like the other day,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like reading about TCU and I'm like this transfer
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: quarterback from Harvard.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: He's the IVY.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: He's a Harvard passing leader of all time, like first team,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I'll I be, you know, big body, and like he
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: he is probably gonna upset Texas Tech and then I'm like,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: all right, you gotta pump the brakes.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: I know exactly. That's my point. I'm very very susceptible.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: That's a loss.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I'm very susceptible to people's arguments one way or another.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, so I'm up here.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Hand up the thing I said earlier about the delivery
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: driver and the dog.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I was lying.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Listen, if I am delivering food to your house and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you know I'm coming to your house, and you let
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your dog just wander free and attack me as I'm
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: bringing you your dinner, get the hell out of here,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Phil Simms. The audacity to that, to have this guy
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: come deliver you food over and over and over again,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: knowing he's afraid of your dog, and still letting your
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: dog run free, it's ridiculous. If I'm the delivery guy,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I don't even go to the house. How about that
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you keep the food? Yes, I need it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Someone's gotta grab Chris sims By the buttoned up collar
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: and just shake it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Say what are you thinking.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I agree with it. On the front end,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: we ashamed for ourselves. Yes, Jess, thank you for doing this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Check her out the Echoes podcast with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Gojo and the host of College Football Happy Hour with

• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you for doing this, Chest, We appreciate. It's always
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: great to see you anytime.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: It was a very formal goodbye.
