Now you know Notre Dame advances winning the Sugar bowl against Georgia just moments ago. So we're taping for you here, throwing it on the front of a Friday feedback. And then I want to talk a little bit about the state of the SEC because this is not what you were looking for as another team is eliminated. Texas the last hope for the conference. So Notre Dame wins 23:10. This was a game I think if you're a Georgia fan in the beginning wondering what Gunner Stockton was going to look like, you probably felt good about it. We've talked about Georgia's drops all season long and these guys are making some tough contested catches. They weren't running the football great, but the defensive line looked like they were in it. But let's do a little quick football math. Georgia infield goal range fumble minus three points. You fumble at the very end of the first half. A short field touchdown minus another seven points. You could also quote question like look when teams have a possession, I I can't stand when teams don't look at the opportunity of having possession even with less than a minute to go. But it was weird that Georgia would ice the kicker for Notre Dame prior to that using one of their three timeouts if then they were going to try to do whatever they could possibly do on the last possession. So something to think about there opening kickoff. Even if you feel like Georgia has I don't know why you would have felt they'd had momentum other than just a reset. And then Notre Dame runs it back. So that's another seven points. So 17 of the 23 are on plays where if you're Georgia with a quarterback who, granted in a Texas SEC title game, it's not like he wasn't getting big game experience in that. But still a massive unknown going into this game. They're like, okay, the defense is going to be all right, and the receivers might be a little bit better. Although you had a huge drop from Bell in the second half, if you give him 17 points, you're probably not winning this football game. And I think the best part for Notre Dame, they line up on fourth down, look like they're going to punt it in the fourth quarter. They run their offense back onto the field. Georgia runs their defense back on the field. Georgia had already used the timeout in the second half, and as I'm watching it, I'm like, are they going to jump off sides? Are they going to jump off sides? They jump off sides. They convert the first down, obviously off the penalty. So a great job by Marcus Freeman just messing with Georgia's players. Georgia had time to sub in, but I was thinking, like, should Kirby just call a timeout here to settle everybody down going, you realize they're probably not going to snap the football. And that's exactly what happened. Because, I mean, even though they did snap it, I don't know if they were planning on snapping it. Maybe he addressed that in the post game, but obviously you'd want to snap it once you had Georgia lined up offsides to get the free shot on top of everything else. And after that play, they run nine more plays, ultimately punting it. But it doesn't really matter. Cause at that point, you know, I think it was 7:17 left when that happened in the fourth quarter. Yep, 7:17 left on the game clock. And then at that point, George was getting the ball back with two minutes left and down two scores. So it wasn't going to happen for them. Notre Dame's O line, I don't know that it mattered. I think they're running to the edges was terrific. And the Riley Leonard runs were. Were really, really big for them. And because when you looked at Riley Leonard, maybe they were just pacing him a little bit more towards the second half of the season and wasn't as big of a part of the offense. And they obviously have two great running backs to go with this group, and I didn't know if that was something they were strategically doing. Maybe trying to rest him up for a playoff run here, but at a game that felt like, you know, when it was 00 for the through the first quarter, I'm sitting at home going, this game is going to come down to one just absolutely enormous turnover. That's exactly what I felt after 15 minutes, like something is going to happen. It's going to be a low scoring game. We thought that going into it, but ultimately, you know, if one team has this disastrous turnover, that might decide the game. And that's what happened here. But credit Notre Dame for a bunch of different things in holding up enough because early on it looked like Georgia was going to dictate this game. The defensive front, because those guys actually look pretty good, but they got some good stuff on the edges. And Riley Lender was really tough in this one and Freeman to pull off that line up for the punt thing and then sub out everyone and put in their offense and then get the penalty. Just a massive, massive part of the game. I mean, so many things went wrong for Georgia in this one. But I cannot imagine the joy for Irish fans after Notre Dame seals the game. Not zero on the clocks, but the game is over and the first AD is an sec. It just means more AD your joy. If you were watching at home and you're a Notre Dame fan or if you're just, you know, you hate that conference, you must have enjoyed that. Another AD play I was a little bit like when playoff P there was like the Paul George Gatorade AD and they came right out to him missing a huge shot for the Pacers in the playoffs. Another ad I would ask about strategic placement. I don't know if a RuPaul Drag Queen T TV show ad is best optimized for the Sugar bowl audience. Just a thought. Okay, so Georgia loses. Let's talk SEC. The SEC is at 7 and 6 for their bowl record. I'm going to throw a lot of stuff at you here. I'm going to see if I can come to some kind of conclusion. We're going to work on this together. We're going to work it out together. The big tens 8 and 5. The extra loss though, I had to head big 10 Oregon there. So you can make it 7 and 4 if you want to. If you want to say they only have four losses that are against non big 10 schools, that would be great too. I've done that in the past when the SEC's gone up against each other. But really what we're talking about here is the Big Ten and the SEC in this argument because now it feels like, wait, is there a window here? Is this happening? Is the shift happening from all of those dudes like me that have, I don't want to say propped up? The SEC just argued in favor it because I felt like the results backed it. I kind of could never really understand the opposition argument other than just people being prideful, people being sick of it. And like, look, I kind of get it too. I Traveled, what, to 60 plus campuses? I've been covering college football now since 2006. I fell in love with college football all over again. I prefer Saturdays to Sundays when it comes to football. You know, there's. I think I've talked about this enough, but, like, I just fell in love with the sport again because I just remember when I was on the air in Boston, you could have the national championship game on the night before, and then we come in on a Tuesday and be like, all right, Red Sox offseason, do they have enough bullpen options? You know, seriously, like, we didn't never ever talk about it. So there's this. This gap for me of being super into it and then also having it be part of the job at espn. And I always felt like I came from it, from a very honest position. I grew up in the Northeast. I went to Vermont, which is obviously a soccer factory, but, you know, I wasn't somebody that went to one of these schools. I didn't grow up or, you know, with so many of the former guys that I worked with, these dudes that just played elsewhere. I'm like, you think I'm biased? Like, this guy just picked Michigan again. Again, before Michigan was rolling like they were last year. So I know that some of you just don't want to hear it from me at all because you feel like I've been poisoned by the ESPN waters. And I'm just. Can only tell you, like, it's not really what you think it is, but I can understand how you come to that conclusion. So there's just a lot of stuff at work here for the passion and the anger and now excitement. If you've hated the sec, to see what continues to happen, Really a carryover of last year's bold disappointments into this year with what we're looking at here, barely 500 record, Texas being the only team that is left. And look, I get the SEC part of it. That's really, really annoying. You know, I kind of thought, I'm like, why would anybody doubt Texas if they were in the playoff last year? They beat Bama at Bama in 23. Like, did people really think that they were going to struggle? And you talk to Texas fans, be like, yeah, that's all we heard. I'm like, well, I'm not, I'm not monitoring all the message boards, like none of them actually, because I couldn't imagine what a waste of time it would be. But look, it's out there. It happens. I remember doing a live show in Gainesville and we were doing trivia for college game day on radio and there was some question about the PAC 12 and some guy gator visor gene shorts right outta central casting. It was a Pack 12 question. He just screams Pac 12 football 7 on 7, you know, and you're just like, yeah, that guy kind of sucks and he's annoying and you hate him and he doesn't even acknowledge you. And so I, I get where this all comes from. Right? But we do compare the conferences and I think it's always important to kind of, because of sports and being so cyclical, like, are we in the middle of something? So let's run through some of the facts here. If Texas is eliminated against Ohio State, that, and by the way, I, I say that like in an exasperated voice because I can't imagine I'm picking against Ohio State the rest of this thing. So say Texas is eliminated. That put him at 7 and 7. Be another win for the Big Ten against the SEC. And this year the Big Ten has been terrific. Now we can get into like what each bull result means. Like if you're a Bama guy, you can't be talking about opt outs at the receiver position in that game against Michigan when they're missing two first round defensive linemen. All right, so you can't do that. You can do it. Maybe you want to just pour over the rosters and who opted in and who opted out and what the Bulls even mean, but. All right, go ahead, go for it. How does Bama lose to Michigan being that big of a favorite? You give them what, three turnovers to start the game and they go 30 yards for like 16 points. That's how you lose that game. South Carolina losing Illinois, I would think based on some of the weird Illinois results over the regular season, even though they have a really good defense, I didn't expect that they pull that one out there too. So the record head to head here is completely in the Big Ten's favor. But more importantly, because I think when we talk about the best conference and I'm not just going to run the draft stuff to you right because all the draft picks didn't work this year. Although I think it's generally a good thing to think the best players are on the best teams. I don't know what sport we don't do that with, but in this case there's something happening where if Texas is eliminated, that would be two straight years where the national championship game does not have an SEC team in it. Last year, Michigan taking out Washington, and of course, whatever we end up with this year, if Texas is eliminated, that hasn't happened in 20 years. Back to back years where the national title game does not have an SEC team. 2004, USC in Oklahoma. 2005, that Alzheimer with Texas and USC. Yet LSU win it in 2003. But prior to 2003, from 99 to 02, it was four straight years without an SEC team in the national championship game. I was younger. I was not in the media. I remember liking it on cbs being like, man, those games are kind of fun. But even in that window, I wasn't paying a ton of attention. I don't know if we talked about it that much. Right? I don't know if we, we. We did what we're doing now and look, we just have more access to each other, so we're just seeing a ton of it. So there's one part of it we can look at. The bull records from the last few years. Again, the bull thing is maybe not the best indicator, but look, the, the data is the data and it's, it's not been great for the sec, although it's not some huge margin here. So part of me always feels like, like, so you're going to be sitting there whipping it out because you're over.500 in a bowl game, in the bowl season. So the SEC last year was 5 and 4. The Big Ten was 6 and 4 and 22. The SEC was 7 and 5. The Big Ten was 5 and 4 in 21, the SEC was actually 6 and 8. But there was an extra loss in there because in 21 the title game was Georgia and Alabama. So nobody was going to HEAR an anti SEC argument that year. Year me included. The Big Ten was six and four that year in 2020, the SEC was eight and two. The Big Ten was four and five. There was also a year back in 2014, we call it Danny Cannell Day, where the SEC just had an abysmal bowl season. He came in the next day to work being like, I'm right. I think Van Pelt even apologized to him. I was furious. I'm like okay, let's see if this is actually something that is real and it wasn't real. It was just a bad bull season. But this is two straight years and it's likely going to be two straight years without a team from the SEC playing for a national championship. So maybe we are in it. Maybe we were in this shift, which I do expect to happen in sports. And I don't know if it's the nil. I don't because that's. Honestly, you completely expose yourself as a non ball knower when you're like, oh, finally the other schools can pay players. I mean, I love Shane Gillis too, but it's not really accurate. The portal thing may be true, but it's also true that players are leaving other programs to go to higher level SEC programs. So the portal's kind of working both ways again. I've got to see a couple more years of it to see if I'm ready to go. Okay, the crown is now someone else's. And again, it's really probably only the Big ten in this conversation. But there's a couple things I can never really get past. It's because the anti SEC media members that I've been hearing about for 15 years, I think it got heated up about, I think feel like 10 years ago is when it really got cranked up. But again, that's my only personal journey, so I could be wrong on that one. Is that if you hated the sec, like, the evidence is in your favor right now. Okay, it may be down. This may really be happening. But the people that hated the SEC said the same shit when none of the data was in their favor. So part of that makes me go like, is this, Is it all just disingenuous? You know, like, okay, you were right. It's been a bad stretch. This might be two years of this. But what were you saying when you didn't have any of this evidence? Well, you're saying the exact same thing. And the problem wasn't even that it was a moving target. It was like no target. It was always this vague. Oh, it's not that much better. Okay, but explain what that means. Well, no, it's just not that much better. So you don't like the way one conference is talked about in relation to the rest of them? Because I'd ask you this because this really. You either hate or like this open based completely on your allegiance to any of this. But if you hate Kirk Herbstreak, right, If you think he is everything that is wrong with college football because of The Florida State argument last season because of his Indiana takes, which I completely agreed with because you've already heard mine. If you hate him for that, do you love Joel Klatt? And do you love Joel Klatt because he is the righteous one here? Or is Joel Klatt just arguing against the thing you hate? Because that's, again, why it becomes so political. You may hate the opponent so much that you are voting and supporting something that you know is just as equally flawed, but you just hate that other side of it. And I think that's kind of what happens a lot of this. There was a college football tweet during the Oregon game from a college football writer. Oregon's getting blasted by Ohio State. It's 34 nothing, and this guy obvious. I can always tell whenever I'm looking at it, and I don't look at it that much anymore because I'm just exhausted by the whole thing. But it'll be like, oh, that's kind of a spicy little number on that tweet. Let me look it up. Oh, went to a Big Ten school, right? And look, the SEC guys are just as obnoxious. Like, what'd you expect when Paul Feinbaum sits down when the playoff committee announces the 12 teams? Like, did you expect fair and balanced? Well, of course not. All right, so there's this tweet that's out there when Oregon's down 34, zip. And the writer essentially says, I wonder if Kirk Herbstreet will spend the rest of the game saying that Oregon shouldn't be in the playoff. And that's where I sort of circle back around and go, I'm out again, because it's fucking stupid to say something like that. Oregon beat three playoff teams. Ohio State and Boise and Penn State, 13. And oh, Big Ten champs. And, yep, they got smoked by Ohio State. You think you're making a good point, but you're actually making such a terrible point that then I'm like, back on the other side of things. But here's the problem is that my position, right, as a guy that thinks like, the SEC superior, and all these different reasons, and the history, and I keep looking it up, and I'm like, can you get the five teams in the Big Ten saying, these five teams could all win a national championship within 15 years, and it's not a completely reach for four or five. And look, that used to be a better argument before they added teams like Oregon, Washington, who played in a title game. If USC ever figures their stuff out, there's far more options for that argument to go in the Big Ten's favor. But I'm left with kind of this thought again after 19 years of really being into this, because I do love the sport and we could sit here and say, hey, let's all just chill out, but we're not going to. I'm not going to chill out. So I shouldn't expect you to either. But if you were on television covering finance, which I always find fascinating, that to do that every day has to be more exhausting than, than even sports. Because sports, we can think a game is going to go some way. We were surprised all the time. And then we talk about what happened in the game and why we ended up at the outcome that we did with stocks. It's just, yeah, nobody knows what the hell's going on, but you have to come up with a reason for why it happened. I've asked different people that we've had on from financial media about this because I'm just like, you're on tv. Like you have to kind of say something. And in the past with some of these outcomes, I'm like, I feel like you're just talking about a stock being down. But if you put together the two years and if Texas gets eliminated and some of these head to heads and what the Big Ten did to the SEC this year, I do think you're going on TV talking about the SEC being at not a 52 week low, but 104 week low.

Oregon
Hopefully.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, hopefully. Get your mic up, kid. And look. We have some emails. Some are good, some are okay. This is a common theme. I feel like we have to do this every few months. Maybe I don't even eat these anymore. Podcast timestamps 6245. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, why does the time on the app never match the actual time? So we have to listen to ads, not you. 100% of the pods. I listen to you, Simmons. PMT are garbage. Are you garbage? Yeah.
Kyle Cerutty
That's a show.
Ryan Rosillo
Oh, that's a show.
Oregon
I thought I was like, damn, I don't like that tone.
Kyle Cerutty
That's a show.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah. All right, well, then he says he loves us. So. Guys, we have.
Oregon
It's a. It's a. I think it's a Spotify versus Apple thing.
Kyle Cerutty
They're dynamically inserted, however.
Ryan Rosillo
Right.
Kyle Cerutty
There is a possibility that things will change in the future. Right. But because right now, the way we do ads is dynamically inserted. So we put a point where the ads go. Ryan reads a bunch of ads, and then they get cycled through. So some ads are 90 seconds long, some ads are 60 seconds long, some ads are 45 seconds. So it's just hard to tell where the next segment's gonna start.
Ryan Rosillo
And that's just.
Kyle Cerutty
We can give you a ballpark. It's really. It's the best we can do.
Ryan Rosillo
I never understood what it was. And then I would listen to podcasts and then listen to some timestamps or try to line it up, and then I think you could correct it in three to four seconds. Yes. And I was like, this is what people are bitching about.
Kyle Cerutty
Yes, it's true, but it's genius. The reason we do it is great because you think, like, I mean, I've used this example. It's not like somebody. Let's say somebody famous, like, passes away or something happens. And you're like, oh, I'm gonna go listen to that 2020 interview that Bill has with this guy. And instead of listening to the 2020 Tacoma AD, you hear an ad for that's relevant. So it's like, it's. It makes the whole back catalog, like, I guess, profitable and more relevant from an ad perspective, too, so makes sense why we do it.
Oregon
I feel like ads in general kind of suck for a lot of reasons, but, like, have you ever been on YouTube when, like, you're just watching something like a middle of a point, all of a sudden it just hard cut and it's like, these are, like, popular videos that I'm like, we haven't figured out a better way to put ads in these things yet. I. You know, imagine if I were in.
Ryan Rosillo
The middle of just a sizzler of a take.
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah, we at least wait till the end of the segment.
Ryan Rosillo
Come on.
Kyle Cerutty
It could be worse.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, it's free too, isn't it?
Oregon
So I think it's just one of those things. Listen, on Spotify, there are greater challenges.
Ryan Rosillo
Why did somebody have to die for Kyle to make his point?
Kyle Cerutty
I'm just trying to think, why would you want to go back. Why would you want to go back to listen to something from three years ago? Unless it's like, oh, I like that guy. Wonder what he was talking about on Bill's pot or something, you know?
Oregon
Well, it does help for like, 60 songs, right? You know, if you're going through the catalog Parvilla's Pod, you know what I'm talking about? Like, if you go back and want to listen to certain song that he did three years ago, then, yeah, you're going to get an ad that's more relevant.
Ryan Rosillo
Yes. For. For zero songs to explain the odds. An invitation to Indiana. What? Which date did this come through? Well, it was. It's only a few days ago. Rosillo Roots nephew Kyle in Oregon is a longtime listener, one time Frolic Room visitor during IU's road game at UCLA last season. I've been sad to see my beloved Hoosiers caught in the crossfire of Ryan's feud with conference and playoff expansion. To help mend this unnecessary divide, I'd like to invite you to the great state of Indiana for either a live show or simply a relaxing vacation in the heartland. I've come up with three half bake ideas. Shout out to Wilds. Oh, Kevin wilds invade the McAfee show. Not sure if this is feasible due to relationships with worldwide leader. Any history of patients, but it could be an entertaining crossover live show in Bloomington. Host it before the game, choosing bonus points. We have nearby hotels and an airport with direct flights. It might mean more in the sec, but here in The Midwest, we do have modern infrastructure. Live show in Westfield, Indiana. A bit out there, but hear me out. You could broadcast during the live tour stop next summer. So, yeah, he said he's. He said he actually could make it happen. I've been. Tom Crean had us out when it was what, the 2011 Super Bowl. We were in Indianapolis for however many days back then. ESPN used to send us out there for a million days and we went out, we went to an Audu game. I think they set us up like a foldable table. They just made a table for, like, me, Stanford, Steve Van Pelt. I think Ray Nietzsche might have been with us, too. And it was awesome. Awesome.
Kyle Cerutty
Assembly hall sick.
Ryan Rosillo
Great experience, however, with the way some Indiana fans have reacted and they still won't shut the fuck up after losing to Notre Dame. Just because other teams lose because your team got in on a clerical error. I will not be doing a live show. And that's. That's directed at the Indiana fans that, like. It's been over for two weeks, guys. It's been over for two weeks just because Oregon had a bad first half and look, they got smoked in that game. It has nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you.
Kyle Cerutty
I would say perhaps a fourth idea. Mark Titus has been putting a hard sell on the Indy 500 for me for years. I heard that's like an incredible time. So that's the two reasons I would want to go to Indiana would be Bloomington, because the bar scene is great and assembly hall is cool. So a game and then out afterward would be fun. And then also I just. I'd like to check out what the Indy 500 is all about.
Oregon
You strike me as more of a Daytona guy than any.
Kyle Cerutty
Never been to either. I've been to one race. It was actually terrible. Was that thing they were doing at the. At the LA Coliseum. And it's like the cars couldn't go more than, I don't know, like 50 miles an hour because it's so small. It was like a weird. Like, it was a new age NASCAR event. They were trying. It was awful, but I'd like to see the real thing.
Ryan Rosillo
Oregon fired up the camera. Do we have. Do we have some race facts, buddy?
Worgon
No, no, no. Back to Indiana. I called the game there for the student radio station at Penn State 2014. So we're like the opposing student radio station. They put us on the roof of the Indiana football stadium, and we're the only ones up there. You look to the right and there's this little shack and we ask someone, we're like, what's the deal with this little shack on the roof? They're like, oh, that's like John Mellencamp's. We're like, why does he want to be on the roof? They were like, well, you can't drink in the stadium. So he comes up here and he can drink whenever he wants.
Kyle Cerutty
That's awesome, dude.
Ryan Rosillo
The cougar.
Worgon
His dad was just pounded beers. It was great.
Kyle Cerutty
That's awesome.
Worgon
I think you can drink there now in the big ten.
Kyle Cerutty
I think so.
Worgon
But back then, you couldn't.
Kyle Cerutty
What a fact.
Ryan Rosillo
Unbelievable.
Oregon
Yep.
Ryan Rosillo
Unbelievable. Were you. Were you hoping to be a play by play guy at some point, Oregon. No.
Worgon
I wanted the trip, though. I wanted the trip. So I was really into going and I was like closing out the broadcast. I had the headset on, and his dad just comes up and starts talking to me. Mellencamp's dad. And I'm like, trying to, like, talk to him, but also, like, doing the broadcast at the same time.
Oregon
It was great.
Ryan Rosillo
That's that.
Kyle Cerutty
Doing that just for the trip really aligns with your airport lounges thing. Right? Like, I want the. I want the drinks. I want the free martini. I like it.
Ryan Rosillo
All right. Shout out to the Rudy said, what a great cougar drop right in the middle of all of that. All right. Your mint takes are absurd. Just wanted to let Kyle and Serdy know their mint take is fucking atrocious. All caps, mint desserts are the absolute best. Mint mousse tracks, ice cream. Right?
Kyle Cerutty
Who can trust you if they're the.
Ryan Rosillo
Best and is up there with chocolate? Yeah, that's the thing is, I think you ruined it by saying that mint desserts are the best because I'm not doing that. I just think that insane. Some mint chocolate chip ice creams never hurt anybody, and you two guys despise it.
Kyle Cerutty
We just want to take it or leave it. I would just leave it. I don't. I don't hate it. I just would leave it. Not what you're serving tonight. I just wouldn't have. It was like, no, thanks, I'm done. I'll just have coffee.
Oregon
What's your go to flavor, Kyle?
Kyle Cerutty
I'm just a. I'm a regular chocolate. We're talking ice cream or just dessert in general? Yeah, well, you know, probably. Yeah, probably chocolate. Mix it up with some stuff in it. But I'm just. I'm easy to please. I don't want to get too weird. I actually like a vanilla ice cream too.
Ryan Rosillo
Sounds like you need Accessories.
Kyle Cerutty
Sure. I mean, dude, Ben and Jerry's, they'll do some, they'll dress up some chocolate ice cream. Ben and Jerry's, you know, they know what they're doing.
Ryan Rosillo
Okay. What's your favorite dessert, Cerutty?
Oregon
I get made fun of a lot because, you know, I'm a 30. What am I, 36 now? I don't even know how old I am. Year old male. And I don't really like regular cake. So I get like the football a carvel cake for every birthday that I have.
Kyle Cerutty
Like, I love ice cream cake.
Oregon
Like I'm a 6 year old, but ice cream cake. That ice cream cake is so good. Speaking of chocolate, just chocolate milk. But it's like the little crumbly things too. And the fudge on top. It's the best dessert. Like I don't care that it makes me maybe I'm 12, maybe think I'm 12, but it just is better than regular cake. Although I did have a trace leches cake. New Year's Eve. 10 out of 10.
Ryan Rosillo
Whoa. Little tres leches.
Oregon
It's good stuff.
Ryan Rosillo
That's kind of like a wet cake, right?
Oregon
It's very wet. In a good way.
Ryan Rosillo
Sounds terrible.
Kyle Cerutty
Getting into Italian ice again. Luigi's Italian ice. That's really nice, lemon. Really nice.
Ryan Rosillo
Especially when you turn it over. Get to that stuff in the bottom, that extra layer of syrup. Yeah. All right, let's go.
Kyle Cerutty
You got anything here?
Oregon
Before we move on, I, I told.
Worgon
You, I'm in on mint, man.
Ryan Rosillo
That's favorite dessert.
Worgon
We're not like a one. I love like a key lime pie.
Ryan Rosillo
Why is that funny?
Oregon
I don't know.
Kyle Cerutty
It's funny that he said that to me. I don't know. It wasn't on anyone's list.
Ryan Rosillo
It's the right choice. It's on my list.
Kyle Cerutty
Okay.
Ryan Rosillo
I was hoping my co hosts were going to ask me. We were going to do a little throw it around. You know, I thought you would just.
Kyle Cerutty
I didn't know you needed to be asked, dude.
Ryan Rosillo
Now sometimes I guess want you guys to nice to be asked rolls. Yeah, I, I key lime pie would be my pick. So I'm right there with Oregon. Wow. And by the way, Handles. Is it Handels or Handles? There's an ice cream place out here that has key lime ice cream and it is insane how good it is.
Kyle Cerutty
I've had some great key lime pies. Just wouldn't put it up there. The top of my list.
Oregon
Not a fan. I don't like pie.
Kyle Cerutty
All right, well, that's you lost me. Now you're. Now you're on an island. Because I love pie.
Oregon
It's not that I won't eat pie. If I did have to eat a pie, it'd be. It'd be pecan pie. But I don't know. Not a big baked fruit guy.
Kyle Cerutty
Let's get out of this. I feel like our Q scores are going down with baked fruit.
Oregon
I don't like baked fruit. I don't really like baked fruit.
Ryan Rosillo
Have you had a key lime pie before?
Oregon
Yeah. No, I'm just saying, typically pie is like fruit, cherry, apple, you know, blueberry. I don't. I typically don't like that.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, okay.
Oregon
Apple pie I could deal with.
Kyle Cerutty
Come on.
Ryan Rosillo
Who does?
Oregon
Not my.
Ryan Rosillo
If people weren't mad at me.
Oregon
But I need ice cream. I need. I need. I need, you know, vanilla ice cream on top of it.
Ryan Rosillo
Like, how's Friday feedback on their YouTube page? Last one wasn't great. How many ovens does one man need? Hey, fellas, maybe it's something you need living solo in Manhattan Beach. But can Ryan lend any insight into why it looks like there are up to four what appear to be ovens over his shoulder in the kitchen? Go, cats, Go.
Oregon
All right.
Ryan Rosillo
It's two ovens. The microwave coffee maker that I've never used.
Oregon
Oh, you got like an espresso thing in there? Like a built in espresso thing?
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, apparently. It's unbelievable. I've never used it once.
Oregon
Oh, whip that. Break that thing out. Homemade espresso is the best. Speaking of desserts, Affogato is the best dessert.
Ryan Rosillo
What?
Oregon
Affogato.
Kyle Cerutty
Should I look?
Ryan Rosillo
Avocados.
Oregon
No, not avocado. Not Tom Brady.
Ryan Rosillo
Seems pretty standard.
Oregon
No, avocado is just. It's a shot of espresso. You pour it just poured over vanilla ice cream. It's incredible.
Kyle Cerutty
The best dessert.
Oregon
It actually is the best dessert. Yeah.
Worgon
Sounds like next time we go there. Espresso martinis all around.
Oregon
Let's go.
Ryan Rosillo
You guys think the last visit was bad? You guys would be looking at that machine. Siree's gonna be like, hey, let's get this thing fired up. Like, don't know how to use it. Never used it. I have two ovens. I think two ovens is very standard for some homes.
Kyle Cerutty
Some of the standard for guys with money. Totally.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah. I don't. I've used one. I don't use the other. I don't have baked goods going along with a roast. The other is a microwave. What do I bake?
Oregon
Yeah, like, what food do you bake? Can't.
Ryan Rosillo
See, the funny thing is, is I had a really big cooking phase where every. When I was living in Connecticut, I had a stretch there where, like, every couple weeks, I would print out a recipe. While I was leaving espn, I would go to the gym. Then I'd go over to Whole Foods. I'd pick out the. And I would see if I could do it. I was really into it. And then I just stopped. I don't know. I stopped being into it.
Kyle Cerutty
I'm into it. So I'll. I'll end up leaving a grocery store with, like. That was an $80 meal. What the. Can you. Can you make stuff with stuff you already have? All right, I gotta get some cardamom. That's $7. Crushed seeds or whatever.
Ryan Rosillo
Are these the right leaks? You know, like, I don't know. Do I need leaks? I don't think I do better. The soup you probably do. Yeah.
Kyle Cerutty
Potato leak soup made that. Definitely need the leaks.
Oregon
That's good. Love that soup.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah. What do I bake now? I don't know. Sometimes I'll do some kind of chicken thing, but then I realize, like, you like it when you grill it a hundred times out of 100. So why are you doing it this way? I don't. I don't cook as much as I used to. I used to cook a lot. A lot. And I was super into it, trying different things. And then if I didn't get it right, I'd be like, okay, what did I get wrong? I'd go back to it. Those days. Those days are long gone. For whatever reason. Maybe it's the NBA.
Kyle Cerutty
I've been making my own roast beef lately. It's been really nice. I'm working on your own.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah.
Kyle Cerutty
And then I. But I just can't get it. Can't get it sliced as thin as I want. But I'm not like a deli slicer guy, so buy one. That's not something that's not. I just got. I don't got room for a deli slicer, man.
Ryan Rosillo
I would love to know that you had a deli slicer on the counter. Getting really into it.
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah, dude, I'm already got three speeds. I gotta tell you.
Ryan Rosillo
Some people say they like meats. Do you?
Oregon
I did see somebody that was like, you know, one of those stupid Instagram hacks. It's like, if you buy a meat slicer and you buy this, like, you know, long piece of cheese, you could have cheese for two years. Like, yeah, but, like, that's not practical. Like these. God, we've got. We've gone over this homemade roast beef, though. That's kind of sick. I will say my go to thing. I bake and it's just. It's like the easiest thing in the world. And you have leftovers and makes your house smell really good. Buy a chuck roast, like a three pound chuck roast, salt and pepper, that thing, throw it in a pan, like oven, 300 for like six hours. It makes your house smell incredible. And you have leftovers for like, I.
Kyle Cerutty
Would suggest a little rosemary with that too. Try that.
Oregon
Rosemary would be good. Yeah, it's fancy.
Ryan Rosillo
Nice work. Look at you guys prep. It's like you're his sous chef right now. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, they. They put a lot of ovens. Last two houses I've been in, maybe last three places they went, double ovens.
Oregon
See a blender there too, that I'm sure that gets put to good use.
Ryan Rosillo
The blender is used a lot. So there you go. Harmonica vindication. So 5, 7, 1, 6, 5, bench 150. All right. Jose Alvarado, Scrappy Gremlin. Small guy who can't shoot. Also a white Puerto Rican. All right, so our guy's a white Puerto Rican. In one of your sides from these past few months, you had this whole spiel about seeing Bono play harmonica and giving him unwarranted praise for him being able to play a few notes well. Yeah, the crowd went bananas because he blew another harmonica a couple times during, I think, a rattle and hum session. In your analysis, you mentioned how you had picked up the instrument previously and remarked that after some time you figured out how to make certain note combinations sound good. I write to let you know that this is how practicing a skill works, especially a musical one. Non instrument players assume that it takes some divine knowledge to figure out how to play one well. In reality, it just takes time and dedication. It is true that a diatonic harmonica may make the music learning process simplified because it can only play in two keys per harp. That being said, playing the harmonica in a way that sounds good to the ears is not necessarily easier than picking up another instrument. In music theory, there is a thing called the pentatonic scale, in which almost any combination of notes in the scale can be considered good on the ears. Any instrument can learn this, and most pop stars literally just use this in their solos. It is not necessarily an essay on the harmonica that is easy to sound good in the harp. I've also attached a link to songs that use the same chord progression just A different key. Kyle, I'll forward you this. The breath may surprise you. It is not as hard as we think think to make music sound good. We can all do it, but commitment and gusto is required. Here's what I can tell you. I taught myself how to play the harmonica when I was a teenager. I am trying to teach myself how to play the guitar now. They are so different as far as the challenge. All right, if you have a decent ear and understand time a little bit and you have a couple go to moves in the harmonica, you can literally be impressive to an audience that has no fucking idea how easy it is within weeks. And this was the. This was the New Zealand rant, I believe. I think there was a harmonica rant within the New Zealand travelog because I felt like I came from an educated place of teaching myself how to do it and then realizing how incredibly unimpressive it was. Which you could say mirrors some of my career achievements now teaching myself how to play guitar. The last couple of years it is. And I spent a majority of the time on this finger picking style that was definitely harder and more advanced. But then trying to do some of that stuff and learn the electric thing, the muting alone. They don't tell you that kids, when you're rocking Van Halen, they don't teach you about all the muting and stuff where you're not only playing scales and figuring out where it fits on the fretboard. And I can understand time on the fretboard. You start to figure some stuff out. Pentatonic scale. Already know it all over it. A lot of. Lot of Allman Brothers stuff goes back to it. All right. So like there's these moments where you're unlocking something going, oh my God, this makes sense. I expect the note to sound like this. I'm anticipating what the next note is going to sound like because you're spending. But between all the different combinations of things you can do. And on top of electric, trying to make sure the muting throughout playing playing. Whether you're muting with your strumming hand or muting with the fat of a finger, playing on a string, that's not even actually the note that you want to play. They're two entirely different universes. All right. And I've taught myself I'm not a guitar player. I can play a couple songs in the style that I wanted to to. So I like, I appreciate your email and I know what you're trying to do, but it's hard to come at me with this when I attempted to play both instruments in one. When there's moments with a guitar where you're like, are you kidding? That's what the guy's doing. Other than John Popper. Because that's a whole nother level of harmonica. You could. You could give me a six pack of Coors Light and tell me what time we start on a Friday. And I could be at a dive bar in Atlanta and I could bang out two songs and you would think I was like, awesome. And I haven't played the thing in 20 something years.
Oregon
Yeah, I think there's a. There's levels to this instruments. Like my. My daughter has like one of those, like eight key xylophones, you know, that you just kind of bang on skipping the recorder. Skip the recorder. Yep. I, you know, you have some downtime. You're playing around with her. I. I taught myself how to play Noel because it's very simple. It's a key progression. At no point was I like, hey, I'm gonna go on tour now. Like, I figured out music, you know, there's just. There's just levels to this. I feel like the harmonica, like. Yeah, I'm sure there's like a more advanced way to play any instrument. Of course there is, but it's like the entry level into a harmonica. It's just easier than most other instruments. So I don't know. I.
Ryan Rosillo
And as somebody that played it, all the years of watching a guy come out and blow a few lines on the heart, it's a crowd pleaser. The amount of talent you have to have versus reward. There may not be a bigger gap in any performance. All right? Just the appreciation of just a guy. Just railing that. That moment on a harmonic and you're like, man, this. This is some honky tonk in here.
Oregon
Yeah.
Ryan Rosillo
Yes. What do you got?
Kyle Cerutty
War guy.
Ryan Rosillo
Holy. I love some Rudy's Honky Tonk. Yo. That was amazing. Yeah.
Oregon
Listen, every once in a while, surprise you.
Worgon
Your guy Chalamet trained with a harmonica coach for five years for the Bob Dylan movie.
Ryan Rosillo
Oh.
Oregon
Seems like he didn't need to.
Ryan Rosillo
It could have been five days. That's such bullshit. I'm calling. This is the first. That's it. Chalamet was at the peak. This is the first moment. He's on the other side of it. Because this Chalamet run was unsustainable. There was no way he could be this popular. This high approval. I want it. I want to read that article. Oregon forwarded that to me immediately. That is absolute horseshit that he spent Five years training to play the harmonica for this role. I do not believe that theoretically you.
Oregon
Could spend five years, you know, what do you do, like an hour every month? Like, for five years? Yeah, like, maybe. I. I don't know.
Kyle Cerutty
That's a good point.
Oregon
He did train, though, to sing. Like, he did have. I believe he did have. That's not the.
Ryan Rosillo
That's not what I'm talking about.
Oregon
No, I know. I'm just saying, like, I don't think the guy's full of shit. Like, I think he actually did do some training to be Bob Dylan. Haven't seen the movie yet. Heard it's good. Heard he did, but it was okay. Okay. I heard the movie was okay. But he was good, right?
Worgon
He was, yeah.
Oregon
That's all that matters.
Ryan Rosillo
The magic lost by Paulo had 30.
Oregon
Not quite that, but yes.
Ryan Rosillo
All right. I don't think there's anything else to add to that one.
Kyle Cerutty
I got nothing.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, I don't know if that guy's gonna love that or not. I just can't fathom, and I'm not guessing. I've tried. Did we do. Did we already do this one? The willingness for Kyle and Serie to have their wives come on the show. Yeah, we already did that, right?
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah, we're not going to do that.
Oregon
I. I threw it out there. I think. I think Maddie would do it, but I don't know that I'd want her.
Kyle Cerutty
Dude, I thought we were a united front on this. Okay.
Oregon
I don't know that I want her to do it, though. So maybe it's different.
Ryan Rosillo
I don't think she. I don't think you want to do. Okay. We had a couple emails that are from newer Toronto listeners and they want to know why I don't like the Raptors fan base. Again, anytime it's about a fan base, let's all just accept it. It doesn't mean it's everyone. Okay. I don't. There's fan bases I cannot stand and I know that it doesn't mean every single person that roots for that, that team is a terrible person. However, the Raptors history goes back a few years ago where we were talking about how. I don't know what I just did word wise there, but I combined two. We were talking about Kyle Lowry, all right, and he's going to make the hall of Fame because everybody makes the Pro Basketball hall of Fame. And I would like the Basketball hall of Fame to have this entry level tier just not be in it. And to me, like, Kyle Lowry's a nice player. He's got the title. Who knows? I hope this doesn't get stirred all up again. I said he is going to make it. But, like, he to me is the kind of player, like, in the NFL, he would not make the Pro Football hall of Fame. In baseball, he wouldn't make to the Baseball hall of Fame, but basketball puts everybody in, so he's going to be a Hall of Famer. But at no point did I ever feel like, oh, he is one of the best players at his position. And I know people are going to go look at his assist numbers here and look at all this different stuff. Whatever. He was abysmal in the playoffs for multiple years on top of everything else, but he's going to get in for whatever reason. He got picked up by some weird crew out of Toronto and they went at me in a way that I've never in 20 years of doing this have ever experienced anything like it. Like sexual assault, jokes about relatives and just like, not just shithead guys, but like normal people. Like normal people, when you would see their profile. There was like one kid who, like, played soccer at a college and was just saying the most vicious stuff ever. And I'll usually DM him like once a year saying, what's up, man? Still thinking about you. So about this one picked one guy.
Kyle Cerutty
That's funny.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah, I just picked one guy. I'm haunting him the rest of his fucking life. So the point is, is I was sick to my stomach, fam. I mean, it was just.
Kyle Cerutty
Jesus Christ.
Ryan Rosillo
It was this awful, awful group of. Of Raptors fans that went so far and beyond. And like, look, here's another example. Like, I don't know. I. Well, I know why Toronto does it. Like, every fan base that feels like the media doesn't like them has to come up with a reason other than just like, maybe I don't think your team is as good. It's usually what it is. And Toronto, whenever they're the aggrieved party, it's always, oh, it's an American thing, thing. But then it's like, okay, but what, okay, but what's your counter to the American teams or the cities or the fan bases that I don't like that specific year? Right? Like, I wasn't the biggest Houston guy there for a bunch of years. What's more American than Houston? An urban sprawl. But if I don't like the Raptors for a couple years, it's because I'm threatened by the foreign nature of, of where they're so all of it's always wrong and usually pretty stupid. And this, this victim thing of like, oh, we're the non American team, so everybody and whatever. And so like, when I pick the under this year, fire up the Raptors. Whistles, a bunch of different Raptors blogs, media members, you know, different people, like, oh, classic American arrogance. Taking the under on the Raptors like, or I do this for a living and I don't love your roster. Could it be that. Could it be that you were a.
Oregon
Little harsh in the over unders pod? I think rightfully so, but there was a little. Because what. What was the line you had? What are they doing? What are the Raptors doing, basically?
Ryan Rosillo
Well, it was about how they were spending the four. The four max slots, not four max contracts, but like their four highest paid guys. The three guys this year, the four guys next year. It's like, man, that's a lot of money wrapped up in those kinds of guys. And so it always. When it's the Raptors, it's never about basketball. It's. These are the same criticisms that I have said about numerous other American franchises all the time. But they're so narcissistic and caught up in the culture of like, a border that they think that I'm incapable of just looking at a basketball team and having a thought on their players, which, again, this is basically all I fucking do with my life. And it becomes like this whole other thing with them in a way that no other city ever responds. So, yes, I cannot stand their fans, the ones that act that way, not the ones that are totally normal and completely understand it and realized this summer their team probably wasn't going to be very good either. So there's a little backstory for you.
Oregon
To your point, I think almost every fan base in any sport has this group. So it's just. I have gotten into it. Raptors fans, too. A lot of it goes back to the 2001 draft, but.
Ryan Rosillo
21. 20.
Oregon
21 draft. Yeah. Sorry. I always screw that up. The. The annoying thing is, like, so I'm obviously, you know, I'm one of like two or three Magic fans. Anybody knows. There's. There's I. Magic. Twitter has pissed me off recently because there's been times when, like. Because I'm not like as much of a hardo homer. Like, I made a comment when Bill asked me about it on his pod like months ago about like, Franz and the shooting, and I was like, yeah, you know, a little disappointing. You know, like, I like him to be better. And Suggs has been better. Paula's been better, but he's not better. The people that get mad about that and they're like, hey, look at this 6 game sample size at the beginning of the year, he's shooting 35%. Dude, want to take that back? And you're like, you're supposed to be. You're a fan. Like, you're supposed to be. I'm not anti you. So it's. It's every fan base, man. It's just like some of these, I don't know, Raptors fans have definitely, like, taken and latched on to you for sure.
Ryan Rosillo
Yeah. And I haven't really. I mean, whatever it was, it was like people didn't even know who I was. And it just ended up in some Toronto thing. And it's from this part of Toronto, too, that I don't even think, like, I think people from Toronto are like, yeah, that's a weird area.
Oregon
I didn't know. I don't know that. I don't know the different factions of Toronto 22. What was that accent you did? I didn't. I didn't know what that was.
Kyle Cerutty
That was that girl. The insufferable girl from Toronto. That was pretty good, actually.
Oregon
I haven't seen this. Okay.
Kyle Cerutty
If you weren't planning to do that, I got to say that everyone who knows that will know what you're talking about. So nice job.
Oregon
What do I need to look up to know this?
Kyle Cerutty
They couldn't.
Oregon
Maybe the audience. Too plush.
Ryan Rosillo
I can wait. Because I actually. This is. It's the worst accent you're ever going to hear in your entire life.
Oregon
Instagram.
Ryan Rosillo
I don't know what it is that she's doing. I guess I could probably guess at what she's blending in there or trying to. Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to leave it alone. Can you just Google horrible woman Toronto accent and it's going to come up.
Oregon
I googled Plush Toronto and Big Miss Big Big Moves. The official plush. Is that who I'm talking about?
Ryan Rosillo
That's it. I don't even got her. Oh, is it? Do you want to listen to the audio?
Kyle Cerutty
I do. I just need to hear her talk more.
Oregon
Okay, let me play something here. I'll just pick something random.
Ryan Rosillo
There's one that's like the money maker.
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah. There's the one that she's making off of, like, the Hawk to a girl. Like, that's. That. That's the video.
Ryan Rosillo
Right?
Kyle Cerutty
I can't hear it, but probably get demonetized if we.
Oregon
I clicked when she was rapping, so I Don't know if she's a rapper.
Kyle Cerutty
Oh, no, dude, it's not it.
Ryan Rosillo
Okay, no, just type in. Type in Toronto accent six to my stomach, fam. All right. Oh, man, this is good.
Oregon
This is not good. The Toronto accent came over the apparent road rage accent. I'll do this.
Kyle Cerutty
Text does let me know.
Ryan Rosillo
I kind of wanted your live reaction. Kyle, can you find it in a second and send it?
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Rosillo
Ceruti, this feels like the Joe Rogan show right now. Jamie, Jamie, can you get that video?
Kyle Cerutty
Oh, she did it. She's done a freestyle. She's flooded it now there's a freestyle with sick to my stomach. Because that's how. That's how this stuff works.
Ryan Rosillo
She have a coin coming out soon.
Oregon
I found it. Yo, you're sick to my stomach. Yeah, this is. Is that one of those podcasts where, like, the, like, the only fans people go on and they just argue? That's what it looks like at least. You ever seen those?
Kyle Cerutty
I don't know.
Ryan Rosillo
We should do one of those. How come we don't have one of those at ringer? So, Rudy, like an only fans forum. Just build in the middle of it. So it was in an Airbnb, and that's why we don't Airbnb. Hey, Seruti, can you give me one more honky tonk yell on the way out of here?
Oregon
I can't do it, like, out of nowhere. All right, hold on. Yeah.
Kyle Cerutty
Yeah.
Ryan Rosillo
That was really good.
Oregon
Wasn't as good.
Ryan Rosillo
No, well, it was. It was expected. As opposed to the other one wasn't ex. Because we used to do a thing with our roommates where it was like concert yells. And it was exactly that. It was like a Leonard's Lynyrd Skynyrd guy, like, walking in jean shorts, just feeling himself parking lot into the venue. And we had one of our roommates that used to just give out this, like, Steve Miller band. Like, how. And it was great. And then he would just do it. We'd be at bars and we'd be like, do the. Do the. Do your Steve Miller. And then another guy had a Leonard Skynyrd, and people would just look around like, what the fuck are those guys doing? And boy, did we laugh and was fun. Had memories.
Oregon
Yeah.
Ryan Rosillo
You guys try to build some. Yeah. Yeah, There you go. Okay. Probably the worst one we've ever done. Thanks to Ceruti, Kyle and Worgon. That was Friday feedback, a YouTube edition special exclusive.
Oregon
No, it's gonna be in the pod too.
Ryan Rosillo
Oh, is it?
Oregon
Yeah, we'll tack it on to the. Yeah, we'll take on the Georgia stuff and the and your worse.
Ryan Rosillo
Okay, that's fine.
Oregon
It was originally going to be a YouTube only. But you know what, we added a bonus pod today.
Ryan Rosillo
So originally we were only going to do, yeah, two pods. So we got bonus content. So it doesn't even have to be good. All right. Thank you for all of the support. Happy New Year, everybody.
