• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So so not exactly vacation, not not not not a vacation.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So it was hm, it was it was a it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: was a church camp, daddy daughter retreat.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Oh nice.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So I have recently started attending a mega church, which
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I never really thought back in January, I never really
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: thought I would, but I got like the messages. Right,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it appeals to me. Whatever, right, I understand, I'll think
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: it's cool. It's cool. But they've had this camp for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: fifty years up in the deep upper peninsula of Michigan Woods.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I'm talking like. It was like an eight hour drive
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: from Chicago, six hours out dirt roads and the fucking
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: woods to get there. GPS doesn't work, avenues, handwritten directions. Wow,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And you got to get there by boat. Then at
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the end, okay, and we're talking off the grid. No,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we're onnning water, no electricity, no no service whatsoever.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So how long have you traveled? How long have you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: traveled before you get to the boat?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Just about eight hours?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Ok wow?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Boat? The boat rides only a couple of minutes, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: right takes you across the river and up the river
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit. And then there's this random camp. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: but the but the whole point of it is the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Daddy darg camps. The whole point is you bring one kid,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: not allowed to bring multiple kids. You bring one kid,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and you spend four days fully present, learning about God,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: learning your kid like one on one time. Bro. It
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: was the best four days of my fucking life.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I have never felt so loved than I did by
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: my eight year old daughter. We are so like and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of course with your daughter, you're already close like I.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: If you're a dad out there listening to this, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it doesn't be church whatever like there is,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there's gotta be something near you that's similar. I could
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: not recommend enough taking just one kid and doing this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I can't wait. I got two little ones, Like, when
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they get older, we're gonna go like it was. It
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: was unreal, dude.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It was real.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Also also being unplugged, like no service or anything for
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: four days, no enter for four days. There, that feels
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: pretty fucking good, dud. Yes, yes, I'm not like And
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it led to a very fun moment where, uh, there
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was a climbing tower and at the top of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: climbing tower you could get service. So about day three,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: me and my daughter went to the top and went
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to call her mom checking at home and everything, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: her mom gives me the news, and my wife gives
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: me the news that Lebron had signed in Philadelphia.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's how you heard. Wow.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Then I did, like like Moses, from the top of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the mountain, I descend down and I walk into the cafeteria.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You have the good Yes, my fellow father's dad's I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: have news from the mountaintop. Lebron has signed in Philadelphia,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and everybody's like freaking out. Everybody's talking about Oh my god,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: no way, chopping it up. It was. It was one
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of the funnier life experiences I have ever had, been
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the bearer of the news.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Mikey, I gotta be honest. It sounds like t Bob
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: regrets he had to return from the trip.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's I would say this. It's a bit
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of both, right. It was unbelievable. You're so connected. It's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: so great that said, tiny ass cabin, no ac or anything.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: It's cold to night, hot during the day. The mosquitoes
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: there are unbelievable. I've been shitting in porta potties and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: pissing in the woods for days now. For showers, you
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: would pump the water out and then you would fill
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: up this thing that was heated by a fireplaces and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: pour the hot water into a bucket and hang it
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: from the ceiling and like get it underneath. It so
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: very fun, very fun. But by the end of three days,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I was ready to get back to my bed and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a pillow and running on the first time that I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: hit a restaurant in the toilet flushed, I don't want
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to leave. It was a scrolling YouTube shorts and they
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: kicked me out. It sounds an awful lot like a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: trip to Vegas. Like it's four.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Days, you don't know where you are. You come out
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, it's back to reality.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of smell. It's a little bit yeah. Time.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: In many ways it is. It is like the complete
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: inverse because instead of just like cause you're right like
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: core feeling the same, but instead of hedonism, it's all
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: like good, like soul filling stuff. So yes, it is
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like you know how you have like a negative image
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: where like all the colors are flipped. Yes, Vegas is
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: like the negative version of this. I would look Vegas
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is fun. Get it out in your twenties, guys, whatever
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you got. Yeah, and then when you have kids, look
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: forward to this because again, I just it's awesome and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: now I can't wait for brother kids. Dude, you get
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to know these kids man in such a way.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: If you want to go to a place with your
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: kid where you can be disconnected but you don't have
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to deal with the woods and all that stuff. You
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have bathrooms and everything. Just go to Augusta. I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: there you go. I mean four days, yes, four days.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It has it has made me. I mean that's definitely
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like a bucket list item, but it has made me
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: really appreciate anywhere we're like in no cell phones rule
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: or or something is in place, it is. It's just
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so nice, dude. It's just so we don't realize how
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: much of a fucking and and like my kids on
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that phone, so like they haven't been infected by the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: algorithm yet, they're still pretty pure. My brain at this
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: point is just fucking much. But you know what I
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: did bring. What I brought my college football preview magazines
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and my NFL preview magazines. So when I was in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the porta potty or during some of the downtime, I'm reading.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm establishing the foundation of knowledge. And then the takes
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: are starting to bubble up out of the ether.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Oh I love it. We'll get to your takes in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: just a second. What restaurant did you go to? Did
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you eat at that restaurant or you just use their bathroom?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: No, we did eat at it. We had it the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: way up and the way down. It's called the Three
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Season's Cafe and Manistique man of Stique, Michigan. It uh
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: just a little roadside diner on the on the side
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: of the lake. Uh. We stopped there on a whim
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: because they had a bear statue out front, you know.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And so we sit down to order the dinner on
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the way up there, and uh, I got I can't remember,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I've just got some dinner food. My daughter loves steak.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: She got a fucking twelve ounce ribbi. Again it's a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: shitty diner steak, and she took down the entire thing
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: absolutely loved it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, loved it. That is so good. So
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you climb this tower to call your wife and she
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: tells you Lebron James. I love the visual of this.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You in the middle of the woods, climbing a tower
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: with your daughter, your eight year old daughter h to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: call mom to say hi, and mom reveals that Lebron
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is signed in Philadelphia. And what is your reaction on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: top of the tower.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I was shocked, dude, I mean I didn't think so
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: we once feel guys here at work and we're always
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: fucking with him because they were like trying to say
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it's like, I didn't think they had a chance, right thought,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I thought this story was gonna be one of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: homecomings either Cleveland or Miami. But kind of throughout the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: entire thing, we did say that in terms of championship relevance,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Philly made the most sense, of course, which, to be fair,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Lebron sat there and told us that, like, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that's kind of what Well, well, maybe it's more clear
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: in retrospect. Now. My question you would be this, so
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: so at first, I'm like, oh, all of a sudden,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I think the first thing you do is you run
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: through the starting lineup right, and you're like, Okay, whoa dude,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that's kind of a fucking squad. A little bit, my
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: question would be this, I guess it's twofold. First, are
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: we dealing do we take Lebron at his word? Are
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: we dealing with an evolved Lebron? Is this someone who
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: really doesn't care about the money, doesn't care about like
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the friends or family or anything. I wonder like, does
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: he not care about the front office? Right?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Is he willing to is he willing to take it
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: back seat in the front office and let them make
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the decisions and is he willing to be that kind
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of support role, veteran player that is going to to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: try to help them get over the championship hump? And
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: then I stole this off of Twitter or one of
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: my producers, did, I'm stealing it from him?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's okay?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Who gets announced last the game?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Who comes out last? Dude?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I mean first game, it's got to be Lebron, I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: would think, right, I mean I.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Would think first game, yes, yes, but past first game?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is a great question. I know it's because
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in b thinks it should be in bid Jalen Brown
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: went there, so it would be Jalen Brown, and now
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Lebron's here. I think it's gonna be Lebron every single time,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and it probably should be, you know.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: And then like MAXI might be the best out of all.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Of the right, but he's going first.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And then yes, he's still there, dude, and he's getting child.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And the Jalen Brown thing is interesting too, because Jalen
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: very much on the record as having talked shit about
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Joel Embiid after they knocked the Celtics out, very much
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: on the records having talked about Bronni when he was saying,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know, this is a G league guy got caught
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: court side and everything. And we just had Tatum over
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the weekend talking to me of that basketball camp he
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: was at talking about how there's no worse guy in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the room than the guy that thinks he knows that,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to which I I think it's like one in my
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: opinion that he's talking about Jalen Brown there. So it
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: is a fascinating dynamic in Philadelphia.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's a very quick in terms of how
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: they announced this team. It's Edge Comb and it's very quick,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and he's first right, and then and then it's Maxi,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and then it's Embiid and then it's Jalen Brown, Holy
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: bleeped their good and then it's Lebron James. You know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's the order in which you have to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do it. Uh, what do you more? Mature? Lebron? I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: think the proof is in the pudding. In terms of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he was willing to take less. He took less. I mean,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: he's playing for four million dollars a year. I think
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he saw an opportunity that he didn't think was going
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to be available to him, and that opportunity is, Hey,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I could just slap myself into this Philadelphia team and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I can win a fifth and maybe a six championship
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and why not? And so good for Lebron. He made
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the right decision for the right reasons, that's all.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Do you think he's I mean, and that is like,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that is something that I think it's so easy to
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: gloss over it. I'm not entirely sure why, but it
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: really is worth it's and you know what, I think
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I do know why, but it really is worth taking
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a second to appreciate how rare this choice is. Right, Yes,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: like for a guy to actively take that much less
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: money than he is worth and to have his kind
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of soul pursuit be the team, and I'm gonna be
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: here to see how it translates on the court and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: kind of what he what he views his his role as.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: But I think I think the reason why we gloss
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: over it is probably just because he has like so
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: much money that to the average person, you're like, well
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: what the fuck dude, Like it's like, yeah, four million
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: or fifty million actually doesn't matter to him. Yes, well
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: he's not like all these other guys sitting around like, well,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: one hundred millions, not actually one hundred million, shut the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: fuck up. Get the fucking like, what are we doing? Guys,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: read the fucking room. Hyper inflation. Everybody's fucking struggling, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: you fucking chuckle focks are sitting here with a microphone
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in front of your face. A hundred million isn't actually
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: one hundred million? Fuck my dick on behalf of just
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: an average American.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's crazy, Yes, yeah, it's okay. We also forget
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in some tangential way, he'll be making money off of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Nick nurses, his clients, of Clutchborts, and he'll be making
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: money off of Maxie as well.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: The guy's gotta figured out the stugatts.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yea strong in him. Yeah, he's done.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Also, there's like, there's like almost the conspiracies that like
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Michael Rubin is maybe like like you know, who knows
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: how much he paid him for Fanatics Fest and he
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: used to be minority owner in Philly, and but I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: mean I don't really Again, I don't think. I don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: find it too hard to believe that money not the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: biggest motivating factor for Lebron At this point. He's firmly
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: in legacy mode as a Knicks fan. Are they better
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: in the next so.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: This is funny because I didn't know what it was
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: gonna think, what was gonna feel like when I arrived
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: at this place of the Knicks winning a championship. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I am sitting back and I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: am laughing, and I am enjoying and I am yawning
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: because look at what all these teams are trying to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do to catch our team. And I gotta be honest
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with you, that feels fantastic. It really does. So whether
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: or not they're better than the next I don't care.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I got my title, T Bob, I'm good. But I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: say I'm good for the remainder of time. I am
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: good for the remainder of time as it relates to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Nicks.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So I mean that's a great point. That's a great point,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: right you You have the full belly of a championship season. Yes,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I've experienced that with LSU where like yeah, like the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: next year, you're just playing with house money, right, nothing matters.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: You don't feel like your your heart and souls on
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the line every single Saturday. You just kind of hanging
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: out getting drunk, having fun. The I think this is
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: kind of fascinating, though. Is that the great strength of
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the Knicks is that they are that classic whole is
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the greater than the sum of its parts. Yeah, sort
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of team, yes, that we love to celebrate and champion,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: whereas Philly are just like a bunch of the great
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: parts just thrown in a bag and you gotta like
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: make it work. And so watching that dynamic because I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: think Philly will struggle early on, but if they hit
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: their stride or they find a way and they get health,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: luck and everything, then god, that could be just a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Titanic series in the East.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be fantastic if we get to an Eastern
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Conference finals of six Ers and Knicks. People forget about this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: With a Heat, if anyone can pull it off, it's Lebron.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: He's been there, he's done it. But that Heat team
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in its first season with Wade, Lebron and Bosh started
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: nine to eight. We wanted to fire the coach. I mean, yeah,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean it's you know, you bumpgate with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Lebron bumping into Spo. There was all kinds of things
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: going on. And then obviously they figured it out. What
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to four straight NBA finals, you know, well, and.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Then and then here's Giannis.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: He's just old news to Yeah, it's crazy, right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: For years you told Janni Sunty down town, and then
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: he goes to Miami and everybody goes, okay, yeah, yeah, sure,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: where's Lebron going? Yes, which is crazy because like objectively,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Giannis is still a top five guy in the NBA
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: right now, he is. But I guess, I mean it's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: everybody points just the parts in Miami, like they don't
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: have the parts, and so it makes it unexciting. I'll
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: be interested to see if heat culture will produce said
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: parts as they have in the past.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: But Yanna says, your best player is not nearly as
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: exciting as Lebron on a four million dollar contract, does
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: your fourth best player? That's the thing, you know, true, Yes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: very true. So you picked up these magazines. I want
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to talk to some college Baldwin. Yeah, you got these
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Uh you got these magazines because you were going to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a place where there was no internet and so you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you knew you needed some magazines to what's the last
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: time you bought a magazine, by the way.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is actually that I've been developing for
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a while now, which is that magazines are and you
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: may not realize it. Yet, magazines are entering a golden era,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: or they should be. They could be potentially in that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they are so enjoyable, they're so nice because like when
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you look at your phone, you immediately get sucked in.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's rare that you're just gonna read an article on
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: your phone and then put it down. You're probably gonna
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: check a text. You might hop on Twitter, Instagram, whatever
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: your social media drug is of choice. You're gonna end
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: up getting stressed out by something. Maybe you look at
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the calendar, maybe you check your email. Like you're gonna
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: get sucked in. There is something about a magazine. You
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: have ink in your ink under your nails. You sit there,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you hold it, you read the article, there's no other bullshit,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and then you fold it up and put it in
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: your back pocket and it goes around everywhere. You bust
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: it out. No distractions. Yes, I have found as of
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: late I get like National Geographic History Magazine, which have
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: loved for years and years, but like as of late,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I've really started to appreciate magazinell over again, especially when
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: it comes to college football because there's ten thousand transfers.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, to try to keep track up right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's It boggles the mind the amount of
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: players that switch teams nowadays. So you almost need these
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: things to be like, Okay, who's coaching where? Yes, who's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the quarterback here? And it's a great way to establish
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: your base going going into a new season.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. Someone should start a new magazine
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: called The Portal just that it just addresses the ports.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Mikey likes that. Let's get on that. So what'd you learn?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: What are your college football takes here as you were
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: thumbing through these magazines in the woods with no cell
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: phone service?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I mean Notre Dame, you know, Liam Blevens. Congrats on
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, right, I mean already CD cars would be awesome.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You lose two first round running backs and you're still
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: number one in the country in returning production. Right, You've
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: got a softest shit schedule, which again I am someone
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: though this is a core belief of mine when it
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: comes to college football, and this what SEC fans did
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: for years, and I think they've finally been humble little bit,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: but I absolutely lo it. We love to think that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: we know who's going to win on Saturday. And the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: College Ball Playoff Committee has made this unfortunately more relevant
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: than ever because every single week we sit there and
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: tell you we know this team is better, we know
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that team is better, and then every single week we're
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: proven wrong with upsets. So, like I know, it looks
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: like Notre Dame's gonna go undefeated. I think they might
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: catch a loss somewhere. I think they're going to catch
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a loss somewhere. I think they'll struggle more than it
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: looks like they will on paper. That said, they will
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: make the College Football Playoff. The new rules basically guarantee it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They're number one returning production. I really like CJ. Carr.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: He had a great freshman year at quarterback. He's in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: back sophomore year. I guess the only question I have
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: is last year, having Jeremiah Love and you Darian Price, CJ.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Carr was about as about as a friendly quarterback as
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you could possibly be, And now all the focus is
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: gonna be on him. And does he have the receivers
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: for they got Nias Williams the running back, he should
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: be good. But but CJ. Carr is one of the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: more fascinating players in in the entire country. Right now, I.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Would say, okay, So I.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Mean Notre Dame. Of course in Indiana, it's like, is
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Signetti gonna do the transfer quarterback thing again? Uh? Look
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: at the Iaric jump. Look at them and Doza jump.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And now you get Hoover in there from TCU, who,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: while he's a bit wild, has way bigger stats than
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: those guys had coming in. Like, is Signetti gonna be
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: able to keep that thing rolling? Following that incredible season,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the Ohio State offense should be unbelievable. They return their
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: entire row line, they got bo Jackson backer running back,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: they got Jeremia Smith back, the receivers are gonna be incredible.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Julians say in year two, much harder schedule. Uh, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: they lost a lot of great defenders. But I think
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I think that the Ohio State to me is almost
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: like the Patriot to the NFL, where I think they
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: could be a better team with a worse record. This year,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: like last year, Ohio State just dominates everybody. But they
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: ain't getting a fight. They didn't get bloodied up really
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: outside of that Texas and they didn't know what it
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: was to struggle. And they get in the playoffs and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: they flopped and in the Big Ten Championship they flopped
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: because of that. So I think next year there's more
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: regular season struggle with more postseason success for Ohio State.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Georgia fascinates me. Okay, what is because if you look
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: at Georgia last year, I don't know how they got here.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: The offense great solid, gunners socked and great solid. The
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: defense great solid, but on both sides of the ball,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you're talking about one of the most unexplosive teams in
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the entire country. No big plays off very efficient offensively, right,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: but no big plays offensively, very efficient defensively making you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: put agether drive, make you player neath them, but terrible
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: in sacks terrible, and tackles for lost terrible and have
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: it great? So like, can Georgia find that that that
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: edge again? And why the fuck can't they? Like why
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: don't they have good receivers? Which doesn't make any sense. Yes,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: my guys having to transfer out of there to find success,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense to me. And if they
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: find that, I think Georgia could be the SEC pick.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And then of course there is also like the gorilla
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: in the room that is Arch Manning in this Texas
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: team and Steve Sarkisian, somebody who I want to say,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I might have to look up the exact stats. I'm
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: not wrong. I want to say his like record against
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: top ten teams is like six and eighteen or something.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You know what, let's not put a number on it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Wash my hands with that. What I'm gonna say is this,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: James Franklin got a lot of shit for being awful
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: in big games. Sarkisian is not that far off. And
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I know that he's wanted to me. I know that
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: he's led Texas to a more consistent level of success, yes,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: than they have than they have had.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He is three and eight. He is three and eight
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: against ap top ten teams.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, Yeah, there you go. Yes, that's
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: got to get better, especially this year where you get
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Cam Coleman, who, if you don't know Cam Coleman, former
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: mister Ala, mister Alabama football, coming out of high school,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: incredible talent, who's been buried at Auburn right, just haphazard offenses,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: no ability to give him the ball. Well, now he's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: got arch Man and he's got Texas. He's got all
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: those weapons around him, like there is. Texas has a
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: superstar team. They've committed all the money there's no excuse
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: for Texas really, not to mean there should be like
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: championship or Bus National Championship or bus pressure. And that's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be fascinating because whenever I was bailing on Arch
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: last season, I was very much diving, you know, hold
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: on to him, guys. He's very young. Yes, he's gonna
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: be fine. He ends up finding his way. He enters
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the offseason hot. Will we see a similar face plant
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: out the door, or does Texas come out and they're
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: just immediately rocking and rolling? What about Oregon? Oregon Dan
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Lanny losing both coordinators to head coach jobs. Lapui goes
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to cal to be the head coach, will Stein goes
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to Kentucky to be the head coach. So all of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you not have Dan Lanning in the area.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: And in this situation that his mentors have gone through, right,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Savan could lose coordinators and replace. Kirby could lose coordinators
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: in replace. Can Dan Lanning do the same. It looks
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: like he has the team. I mean, they're they're they're
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: they're as talented as as ever on paper. Dante Moore
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: should be unreal This year. He would have been a
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: top five pick last year, had he decided to leave
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: UH and land landing someone who I think gets unfairly
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: painted as not being able to win the big game.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: He's six and six against top ten teams. Yes, it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: a good record. Yeah, it's a fine record. Yeah you
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: can go, you can go down the list, and there's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: there's there's something interesting with with every single team in
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: college football right now.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Man, you did some reading. I mean I am proud
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: of you. You read it. I mean you retained and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: then you regurgitated that is that you took your had
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: off for some reason in the middle of that take sweating.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I got my Camp Paradise sweater on and it's like
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: ninety degrees today. Yes, I want my shout out Camp.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I gave you the record for sark against AP top
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: ten teams. I want you guys to guess what James
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Franklin's career record is. I have it in front of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: me against AP top ten teams. Okay, God, it's.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Like six and twenty or like six and twenty three
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: It is four and twenty one.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's crazy.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So Sarka has another winning about third I don't know.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Fourteen losses to go something and.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Again it's not. It's not to say that he's bad
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: as Franklin, but again it is. But here's the other thing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Is like, Penn State, I get why you fired Franklin,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: that's that right there. Yes, but now you replace him
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: with Matt Campbell and a bunch of Iowa State players. Yep,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and you want to be better? Yes, going for the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: big twelveth of the big ten. I love rock Obec
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: the quarterback. I had him on my top ten last
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: year and it didn't end up paying out quiet like that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: But I do think he's very good. But I find
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: like I just wonder where Penn State's expectations are at,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Like are they cool with like eight and four? Are
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: they thinking they need to be in the collegewall playoff?
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I don't view them as a playoff team. Here's another thing, quarterbacks.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Look at last year's top five and then look at
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: like the Athletic just released their college quarterback tier list.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait for the NFL tier list. It's the
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: fucking best day of the year when the Athletic does
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: their NFL tier list. But anyway, they just did their
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: college football one and so many of these quarterbacks that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: we consider tier one. Now we're ranked in like the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: twenties and thirties last year. So I'm very, very intrigued
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: to watch overy who are the people lurking in the shadows,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: like a Byron Brown the South Florida transfer to Auburn
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: who last year led in total yardage, but it's at
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: South Florida, right, he was solid or whatever. But like
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: by the end of the year, are we gonna be
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: talking about Byron Brown for Heisman? And then last year
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: is all about Nusmeyer Clubnick They both sucked. Aller sucked.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Like is Manny gonna live up to it? Is Dante
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: More gonna live up to it? Like who's gonna fail
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: this year? Out of the guys that are thinking, Remember
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Lenora Sellers, We fucking love Lenora Sellers. Now he's now
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I think I did like an SEC quarterback list, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I think he was like eight or nine right in
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the conference. It's that So it's it's that's always really
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: fun to see, is which quarterbacks are going to burst
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: onto the scene and end up kind of defining the year.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Like Mendoza. I mean, look at Mendoza.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get you out here in a second, Matt
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Campbell's four and four versus ap top ten teams, so
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he has seventeen more losses to go before he catches
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: James Franklin. Seventeen losses.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Good god, we're in Iowa State in Franklin's four and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: twenty one at Penn State. Yep, that's what's sanity. Yes,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: what's interesting is it's a very pro James Franklin schedule
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Penn State has. I mean they play nobody, right, Oh,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: that is true. I forgot about I forgot. That's a
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: great point, my gay, I forgot about the friendly schedule.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: That's gonna help Campbell out a year. Maybe we'll be
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a bit better. Yeah, that's also that. The opposite side
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: of that would be a team like Texas A and M,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: where they were turned Marcel Reid. But they're losing their
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: entire offensive line, they're losing their entire defensive line, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: their schedule is significantly harder. This year. They replaced like
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact teams, but they replaced like
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: three of the bottom feeders from last year with the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: top three teams, and two of them are on the road.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: So A and M is a team to watch. It
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: can potentially implode, and then I don't know what the
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: fuck's going on. I don't know what's gonna happen with
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Lsu Right, who knows Lane Kiffin? You know, I love
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: college rumors swirling around as you know, Sam Levin's coming
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: off the list, Frank, even people are terrified. He hasn't
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: look good. He's gonna have. All I know is this.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: They paid a lot of money to get Lane Kiffin.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: They poured about forty million dollars into this roster. We've
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: seen signetty what he did in Indiana, and although it's
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: an impossible bar to hold people to, it is the bar.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: There ain't no fucking excuse in ban Rouge like Lank
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Kibben has to win and he has to make the
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: playoffs here in year one.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, I like that. I like that. I like you
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: demanding it. Wake up, Wake up barstool, check um out
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: every day FS one, check out the podcast as well,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcast. He's fantastic. He's our buddy,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and he is home safely from Michigan. He survived four
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: days without his phone. Congratulations to you, my friend.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, Mike gay Stu love you guys.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, all right, We love you too.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Football is almost here, hanging there,
