• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that shocked me
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: more than driving in this morning and listening to Mike
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Golick Sr. and Mike Golick Jr. breaking down books and authors.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: The Golicks, 10 to noon on ESPN Radio. And that's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: how we fill time before football starts.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Hello, Mike.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: You're exactly right. Good chance to revisit.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: One of the authors that impacted me most, not because
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: I read them, but because I saw his books all
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: over my house in a day and age before smartphones
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: and tablets made it so you could watch TV and
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: movies on planes. My dad would read nothing but Clive
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Cussler books, which all just had old wooden ships.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: On the front. that were littered all over our house.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: That was how he entertained himself on the flight to Gaines.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Mikey A., why are you laughing? It's just funny. It's
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: a funny topic for the Goliks to be discussing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: The Goliks talking books is like my kids talking about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: nuclear physics.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: Like, it just, like, wait a minute.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: What do you guys really know?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I will tell you that order was restored.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: A couple of minutes later, they were talking bacon, egg,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and cheeses and best cuts of steak.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: It's a little more on brand. I will have you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: it was sort of a New Year's resolution. I have
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: read a book every month so far this year, which
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: is a pace that I have usually never been able.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: To keep up. Wow.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Have you been able to find Waldo every time?
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Some of these new books, they really make it tough.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm still trying to finish my book.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: The last one I had had one of the scratch
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: and sniff pads on it so you could smell the book.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Right. What is your favorite cut of steak?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the bacon, egg, and cheese in just
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a second because I cannot believe that Kimberly Martin said that.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: She's never had a bacon, egg.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: And cheese before.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: She said she doesn't like cheese with her eggs.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, the steak cuts.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yes. I mean, cheese and eggs go hand in hand.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Do they not?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: You would think.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yes. What's your steak cut?
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I said if I'm going out, because I haven't cooked
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of steak at home. This all came up
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: because I am making steaks for me and the missus tonight.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: But when I go out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: The cowboy ribeye at Ruth's Chris is like always the
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: one I think of because that was the one we'd
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: go to most often. There aren't many steakhouses in South Bend.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: So you get the cowboy ribeye there or like a
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: nice New York strip because it's especially the ribeye. Good
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: enough cut, good marbling, but also.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Big, a lot of oomph to it. And I like
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to leave feeling painfully full when I go to a steakhouse.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Taylor, what's your favorite cut of steak?
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I don't really know different cuts of steak. Right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Steak is steak.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: New York strip steak.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Skinny man.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Freaking skinny man. You put a steak in front of me,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'm going to eat it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: I'm not going out of my way to ask for
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: a particular cut or anything.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: There's a big difference between a ribeye and a sirloin.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: I know filet. I know New York strip steak.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yep. Mikey, this is your wheelhouse. What do you got?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to go off board a little
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bit because ribeye is the easy answer, and I do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: love a ribeye. But if you can do this one right,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything better. A good skirt steak.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Wow. Pretty good. Yes.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: If you can do right because you have to do
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: it right. You really got to put the right preparation
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: in that. Yes.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: How do you guys feel about a porterhouse? I mean.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Porterhouse is nice.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Right. It's two different cuts. I understand.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: It's strip and filet with a bone. I get it sliced.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I get a porterhouse for two just for me. It's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: absolutely delightful.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: That's always the move because it's always a porterhouse for two.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I am now realizing that I have meat blindness. Like,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: if you put a ribeye steak in front of me,
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: a T-bone steak in front of me, a porterhouse, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be able to tell you a who's who of meats.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I could do it on smell.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: You should just go to the blindfold and just put
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: one of those cardboard boxes in front of them with
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: just a hole for him.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Taylor just goes to those Brazilian steakhouses and just has
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: his thing on green.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't care. Go ahead.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So we did the Brazilian steakhouse for our big Fox party. Uh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: when we were all at the Superbowl and everybody was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in awe on how I would send some of them away.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no, no, no.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the picanha. I'm not sitting here. I'm
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: not wasting my time on your sirloin. I'm not sitting there. Filet,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: get that out of here. No, I'm waiting for the picanha.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And they're like, you just don't get everything when it comes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, amateurs they're here to change box for the better.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Right give me the good steak there's only so much
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: room in this belly a.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Fogo to chow hates to see mikey a coming.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: A fogo to chow is the only place where i
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: get the meat sweats at the table yes like it
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: doesn't have to wait till later.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Pre-meal end of the meal yes you're.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Just absolutely leaking all over the.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Scene uh taylor how'd you phrase that joke.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Right there A Fogo to Chow hates to see Mikey
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: A coming.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: At Stukat790 at X, does a Fogo to Chow hate
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: seeing Mikey A coming?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: They do. I am with you. So you're cooking steaks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: What are you doing here? So a whole different strategy
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: for you because this.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Is the first football season you enter as an engaged man.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And so- Are you cooking steaks on the front end
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: to free up?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: How are we navigating through the weekends with someone else
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in the house who doesn't care about football nearly as
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: much as you?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I am lucky in the fact that she at
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: least loves college football like I do. But this is
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: more of a makeup because I am absentee. She becomes
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: a football widow during the fall because I'm on the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: road every weekend. So I leave Thursday to go to
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: whatever Big 12 city I'm calling a football game in.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: And I either come back late Saturday night or early
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Sunday morning. So I'm gone three to four days of
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the week. And on all the weekends from Labor Day
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: weekend on, I am gone 13 straight weekends. And so
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: this is my like, I'm sorry for being gone and
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: for being hopelessly obsessed with some Wednesday night Mac game
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: that I'll.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: For sure eschew plans.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: That we might have made midweek because I have to
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: watch this for work.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It is a whole different game. I am so proud
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Gojo, on the topic of food, yesterday we had a
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: pretty spirited debate on our Think About It Thursday.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, we did.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: It was one utensil for the rest of your life, fork, spoon,
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: or knife. Now, we had a bunch of people write
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: in on social media, spork, and just again, the choices
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: were fork, spoon, or knife.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Greeny wanted to go spork, too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, we talked to Greeny about
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: his 30 years at ESPN. And the only time he
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: lit up is when we asked him this question. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have never seen him more engaged by anything in my
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: entire life.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So what do you think, Coach?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: It's a great question, but I'm with you guys.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I don't like it when people all of a sudden
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: think they can just reframe the question and go off
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: board with something like a sport. It wasn't one of
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: the options presented, so we need to operate within these parameters.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: It's a great question. I go back and forth on
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: this all.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: The time because in a pinch, as a guy who
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: was single for a long time in my adult life,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I would do the thing where... You don't do all
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the dishes right away. You're running low on silverware. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: so you've got one knife left and you just sort
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: of have to make it work. That being said, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: think the answer is spoon. Because I think you can
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: get away with shoveling most things that would.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Have required a fork.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: It allows you to have the liquid element of a cereal,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: a soup, things like that that you couldn't do with
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: the other ones. And still, if you work hard enough,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: it's going to suck, but you can cut things and
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: operate with enough of that knife quality that you need.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: So I think spoon's the answer.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: So we put this on the poll yesterday, and the
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: early results are fork is 52.4%. Spoon is next at 37.2%. But, Gojo,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: what I've noticed is the most vocal people about this
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: are the spoon people because they're arguing that a spoon
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: can do everything that the fork and the knife could
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: potentially do, and the other two don't have the same versatility.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Mikey A. was a spoon guy yesterday.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yesterday I was, but I've woken up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I've seen the light.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I've changed my answer.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And here's what it ultimately came down to.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He apologized to us last night via text in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: form of, I'm leaving the show, and it wasn't.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: It was this. He was changing his opinion.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I soul-searched on this, and I've come up with this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: A knife is the only thing I can't do with
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: my hands. You give me a bowl of pasta, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: can pick up the pasta. I can eat it with
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: my hands. You give me a bowl of soup, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: can dip the bowl. I can't cut with my hands.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I can try and tear, but I can't.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: I'm going knife.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, but Golik said you can cut with a spoon.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: You said that yesterday.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Skirt steak doesn't cut very well with a.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: A good one does, though.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Skirt steak you can do with your hands.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: If it's done right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: And if you cook it at the right temperature, you
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: should be able to get in there a little bit more.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: As someone that's eaten steak with their hands before, you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: have the power. I believe in you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I know you... Maybe others couldn't do this. Mikey A.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: in particular. I know you.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Are capable of this.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And remain married? Different story. I can't give you an
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: answer to that, but.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It's not a spoon, though. It's got to be... I mean,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: it's got to be a fork. It just has to
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: be a fork. I mean, I'm sorry.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Like, a fork can cut through some meat, right? And
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a fork you can basically eat everything with, right? Except
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: for cereal, I guess.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: that's really what this comes down to.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: For you, yes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I have a feeling the spoon crowd is really pro
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: soup and cereal in ways that I am.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: And if you're a fork or knifer, I'd imagine you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: getting a lot less of your diet in the bath.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: So, Stu, these are just some of the responses we
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: got on social media. Again, remember, fork is overwhelming the
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: other two options.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Somebody tweeted in, who are these fork idiots? Everything you
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: do with a fork, you could do with a spoon,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: not vice versa. Another person writes in.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Focal minority. Fork you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Another person writes in. How the bleep is fork beating spoon.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: And then tough guy right here. Most valuable bowl writes in.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: If you say anything but knife, you'll be dead in
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: three days.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Very polarizing. I'm telling you, man.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Walk me through that knife guy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Walk me through how you're.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Going to be dead in three days.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Get knife guy on the show. Yeah, book him. Mikey,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we all experienced it the same way. Taylor sent me
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the same text in quotes. I go back and forth
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: about this all the time. Do you really go, Joe?
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Is this something you, I do think about this a
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: fair amount, not to like totally become a wife guy,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: but she's much more pro spoon than I am in
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: much more circumstances than I usually do. So it's forced
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: me to consider, Hey, maybe have I gotten things wrong
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: about my utensil choice?
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Gojo, this is similar to the, it was like a
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: social trend of a while ago where women were asking
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: their partners, how often do you think about the Roman empire?
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: And the answers were shocking them because it's, Men were
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: coming back saying, probably once a week or at least
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: once a month, and they just couldn't comprehend it. But
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: this is another situation where if you're a male, you've
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: at least given this question some thought.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Because usually the male line of thinking is.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: If you're someone looking in from a woman's perspective, think
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: of the dumbest thing that you'd never possibly think of,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and we've given it way more thought than normal because
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: it's just more fun than anything else. Life is hard.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Things are complicated. The world's constantly changing. But this dumbass
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: stuff with your boys after a round of golf in
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: the clubhouse is mana from heaven. It's what keeps you going.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Go, Joe.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I am so tired of attorneys. I am tired of lawsuits.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I just want to see some football. We'll see it
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Week zero kicks off. But I am wondering,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: if you, Mike Golda Jr., declared for the NFL draft,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and this was all going on at the time when
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you were playing, would you have gone back to college?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Would you have tried to go back to college?
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, with how much they're paying even middle of
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the pack guys at this point, probably.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Because, I mean, my thing always as a player was
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I was way too self-aware of my own limitations. So
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: I knew going to the NFL was a long shot
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: based on my trajectory, my physical profile, all that stuff.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: And so you combine that with an actual monetary value
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: for me in college at a place that might have
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: now Notre Dame, it may have been tough because the
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: group of offensive linemen coming after me were really good players.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: I went back there years later and saw Quentin Nelson,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Mike McGlinchey in the weight room. And I said, oh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: there's no way I would have seen the field in
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: this era of Notre Dame football.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: So maybe it wouldn't have been there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: But I do feel for this class in particular because
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: they were put in a bad position through no fault
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: of their own at a time where, hey, you have
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: more value than ever at a level of football that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Might be your peak.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: That's where most of these guys are going to top
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: out and there won't be an NFL future. So, yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: I don't really fault these guys for trying.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Gojo, with the SEC coming out against it, the Big
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Ten coming out against it, We were joking yesterday saying
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: that the Sunbelt Conference's motto should be that we'll take
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: the NFL players. And then yesterday, the Big East kind
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: of came out and said, we're not ruling against NBA
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: players coming back to the Big East.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so proud of them. Yes.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: And honestly, this might be the best thing for everyone.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Because with all the court rulings that came out, one
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: of the core things that was– deemed true by enough
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: people in court to help out is conferences are still
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: allowed to make their own rules. Remember, that was the
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: crux of what happened with Brendan Sorsby. They tried to
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: get him on the field and the conference said no.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: The Texas State Attorney General was like, I'll sue the conference.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: And they're like, we're allowed to make rules. This is ridiculous.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: And everyone agreed. And in this same case, you're usually
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: allowed to do that. But when all the conferences started
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: coming out and saying, yeah, we're not going to allow
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: it either, that looks like antitrust issues potentially to a
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: court was the concern I saw from some people. So
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: the Big East taking one for the team, actually, by
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: then going and still making their basketball conference maybe better
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: than others, is the headiest play, maybe the most Stugatzian move,
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: but also one that might be legally kind of helpful.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yep. You're not going to be surprised if Lane Kiffin
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: is recruiting at NFL minicamps, right?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I do want to know because Lane Kiffin claims he
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: didn't call Todd Munkin. I want to know who was
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: calling Todd.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Munkin then on that day.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Todd Munkin, from what we know about him, doesn't seem
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: like the kind of guy that's just like making this
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: up or doing this for fun. So did he just
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: get got because he's probably closer to my dad's age
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: than he is to my age? Like, is he maybe
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: just confused by a call coming in? Was this AI slop?
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: I need to know more about that phone call.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: What are you excited about?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Taylor gave us a top five games for week zero.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I don't care about any of them. I can't wait
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: until next weekend, although it'll be fun this weekend.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Such a terrible take by you that you don't care
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: about any week zero games. Bill Belichick's coaching.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I have them.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Taylor, you have stripped my soul of caring about North
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Carolina football.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I want to care about them.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: That's fair.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yes. Thank you. That's fair. Anyway, go ahead. Go, Joe.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: All right. Well, you know what?
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: For Taylor's sake, because I am intrigued, I would say
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I'm doing a top five for games I care about
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: this weekend. I'll put North Carolina TCU at number one.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I have a morbid curiosity about North Carolina at this point.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: And since I cover games in the Big 12 for TNT,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I do want to see Jaden Craig under center for TCU,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: former Harvard quarterback, taking the place of Josh Hoover, who's
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: at Indiana. After that, I understand the other ones that
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: people look at. We have an ACC conference game. NC
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: State at Virginia this weekend. Virginia was in the ACC
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: championship game last year, has a schedule that lays out perfectly.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: It's like this game and then their game against SMU.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: And besides that, it should be an easy road to
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Charlotte for the Cavaliers, who... Have Bo Pribula coming over
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: at quarterback after a year at Missouri. So I'll take
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: those two up top. Then I'll go San Jose State
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: at USC. Want to see what Gary Patterson's defense looks
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: like for Lincoln Riley's team if we think they're going
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: to be able to actually stop the run this year.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: After that, I'll go Florida State hosting New Mexico State.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Same thing there.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: You've got to coach on the hot seat at a
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: big-time school. And then Memphis at UNLV. Sign me up
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: for that one, too. So I think there's a bunch
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: of good options.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Sneaky one, too.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: North Dakota State making their jump this year. They're playing
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: in the Mountain West now, which is incredible. This has
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: been a fan base that's been crying out for that
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: FBS jump for a while. They saw other teams like
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Jane Mattis making the move that they thought were in
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: their tax bracket. And so now watching them get a
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: little bit of taste of the action is going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: be really, really fun with a team that I think
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: still has a pretty clear identity.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Taylor's very excited for that game. I'm excited for that game.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Taylor turned down a free trip to go to Ireland
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to see North Carolina play.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: How about that, Gojo?
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: What?
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Too long of a flight, Gojo, and I have a
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: sneaking suspicion that North Carolina is going to get– Molly
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: whopped in this game. So I didn't really, I would
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: prefer to just watch a game on my couch. Almost 99%
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: of the time.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Had you been to Dublin though?
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: No, and my passport is currently expired too.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: That's pretty crucial.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: There was a lot working against him, yes.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: That might be, because I was.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Going to say, being a fan going over to that
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: game sounds like a great time. I played in Dublin.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Our first game my last year was against Navy in Dublin.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: And for us, it was just like another game week,
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: 100 and plus college kids. They stuck us in the countryside.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Our hotel was so far from anything. You weren't getting
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: out to have any fun. I'd walk into the hotel
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: lobby and it'd be my parents, all the other parents
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: on the trip, and the football support staff members walking
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: in with bloodshot eyes because they'd been out drinking. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: heard how many drinks my dad was buying for everybody.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: It sounded like a great time. So doing that trip
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: as a fan sounds like it'd be great. Doing it
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: as a player was just stressful and you were sleep
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: deprived because of the flight.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Taylor, would you be more inclined to go if there
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: was no football game, just Mike Golick Sr.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: At a bar in Dublin buying drinks for everyone? What
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: do you think?
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be on the first flight out.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I think. Mikey A is nodding his head in agreement.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I'd sit a middle seat.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: To Ireland.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Put me in 35E, Mikey.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I heard Gojo say today that he feels like Seattle,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks, have brought back Hard Knocks.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched a.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Single episode because I don't care what the Super Bowl
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: champions are going through. And it drives me crazy to
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: see Sam Darnold in a Seahawks uniform when my team,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: we had the quarterback, Gojo.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: We had him. We let him go. And now he's
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: winning Super Bowls in Seattle. But you're liking Hard Knocks?
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched any of it either. I was just
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: talking about what everyone else said.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I'm so proud of you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I heard your take on it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Bullshit with conviction, what Dad always said. Yeah, I know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched any of it, but it sounds great.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I've seen the clips with Mike McDonald.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: No, we'll leave it right there. You haven't watched any,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: but you went on national radio today. And you said
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: that Hard Knocks is back.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Proud of you. That's it. We're going to do the
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: polls here, Gojo. You good? You good to do the
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: polls with us here? Wrap up the week?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I got two minutes. Let's do it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: All right, let's do it. That's the Got790 on X. Ricardo,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: give me the music. Ricardo's not here.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: He's right here. He's sitting right next to me.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Whoever hit that button, thank you.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, he is here. It was Ricardo.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Or not Ricardo. All right, that's the Got790 on X. Taylor,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: give us the polls.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Is the name Faison Brandon backwards?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Brandon Faison, yes.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: It is. 90.3% of the audience said yes.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Goja voted yes.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I heard that one. It was my take.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: If John Carlos Stanton was a dog, would we be
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: putting him down right now?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: It's Taylor's take. A bad one.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Jesus. People were kind of upset about this one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are you doing?
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: This is a tough one to see without knowing any
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: context of the discussion.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you should have. Yes. I mean, he's going to
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: put himself down.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: It was a weird take for Stu Gatz to tweet out.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: 84% of the audience said, yes, we would be putting
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: him down.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Does every college coach have a judge in their back pocket?
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, yep.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Several, several judges.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: The good ones.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: The good ones.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: 89.2% of the audience said yes.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Does Jacoby Bursette only play in garbage time?
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, he's starting, but....
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: But if he's starting for you, is it automatically garbage time?
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: We were talking about fantasy quarterbacks, and sometimes a garbage
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: time quarterback is a great quarterback to have. He's always
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: down 24-0 going into the fourth quarter. He'll give you
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns and 280 yards.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: All of it in the final eight minutes of the game.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Yep. It's Jacoby Brissett time, quote, Jacoby Brissett. 74.1% of
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: the audience said yes, that's where Jacoby Brissett lives.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: We should ask, should Garbage Time have a new name,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett time?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Blake Bortles would like a word.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: This one comes from one of the games Gojo mentioned,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Memphis UNLV. Would you name Air Nolan your starting quarterback
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: off name alone?
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yes, Gojo says yes.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Like Jackson Dart, 100%.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Everyone says yes.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Not 100% disappointing, but 77% of the audience said yes.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, air.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Bigger potential accomplishment for Bill Belichick. Six Super Bowls, getting
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: UNC to the playoffs.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: All right, this is a great question. Gojo, get out
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: of here. We love you.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: The Goal looks 10 to noon Eastern on ESPN Radio
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Enjoy the stakes tonight. We love you, buddy.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: This is a big one.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: This is a big one. Ask it again, Taylor, because
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I forgot.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Bigger potential accomplishment for Bill Belichick, six Super Bowls or
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: getting UNC to the playoffs?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I've been thinking about this the way Mikey
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: has about the utensil.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: It would be the biggest thing on his resume. Getting
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: this Carolina team with this.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Schedule after everything Belichick has put himself through. He hasn't
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: gone through anything. He put himself through all of this, okay,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: by his own actions. But, yes, making it to the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: playoffs this year would be the greatest accomplishment on a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: resume that has six Super Bowl championships on it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: And 80.1% of the audience agreed with you, Stu, getting
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: UNC to the playoffs. This is two more questions. The
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: poll I mentioned with Gojo earlier, should the Sunbelt Conference's
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: motto be, we'll take the NFL players?
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Hell, yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, geez, why wouldn't you? You've waited all your
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: life to have this opportunity.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Here it is.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Come on down to Marshall. 95.5% of the audience said yes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Big one here.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: One utensil for the rest of your life.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. What a question.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Just for context, this poll got about... Five times the
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: amount of votes we normally get on polls.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: That's what people care about. They don't care about lawyers, attorneys, LSU,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Wayne Kiffin. They don't care. They care about forks, knives,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: and spoons.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: It's weird to see what really resonates with the audience sometimes.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, yes. We need Dan and I. programmed our
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: show that way.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I cannot i'm going to see a bunch of guys
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: that i don't i get to see once a year
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: i cannot wait to throw this question out and just
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: watch the arguments.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Fly right like if you go to your group of
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: friends and say hey who's gonna win the national championship
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: this year there's a good chance at least with my
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: crew someone's gonna punch me in the face I ask
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a fork, knife, or spoon.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: We'll be debating it for weeks. I mean.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Yep. And there's times where we record so much that
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: the second I leave this studio, I almost forget what
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: we say.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: And the only thing that reminds me of what we
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: say is when the audience starts to write in. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: when I'm getting messages flooding my inbox yesterday saying, this
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: is why I would choose fork. This is why I
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: would choose spoon. At the very least, can we settle
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: on some common ground that nobody is picking knife? Then
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I'm like, wow.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: We really found something this segment.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Special topic. I'm picking knife.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Wow. 52.5% of the audience said fork.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: It's fork. Those are the polls.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
