Fun Facts, Food Fights, And Football

A cold room, three friends, and a stack of hot takes—this one moves fast in the best way. We kick off with brain-tickling trivia, from why “lbs” comes from Libra to how Romans literally raised toast, and then slide straight into a baseball gripe session about marathon games and the wisdom of ever pitching to a generational hitter. That energy carries into a punchy debate over travel rankings: New York and San Francisco might headline, but how do you leave out Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon? We break down what really makes a destination memorable—food, weather, and whether a place fits your pace.

From there, we scoop into a “best of” ice cream run and crash into nostalgia: Graters’ Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Baskin-Robbins classics, Mickey Mouse bars, push-ups, and the dubious magic of desserts that never melt. Cheese becomes a battleground of taste and texture—aged Vermont cheddar, crowd-pleasing Gouda, and the line some of us refuse to cross with blue or Limburger. Birthday cakes get personal, with a standout strawberry cake layered with jello and pudding that proves thrift can become tradition. It’s flavor and memory, side by side.

We round things out with a lively look at college football job openings. LSU vs Florida, the UCLA case for number one, buyout shockers, NIL realities, and coaching names that could reshape programs. Then we treat ourselves to a global candy tasting: an Australian Violet Crumble that shatters like honeycomb, creamy German alpine milk chocolate, and a cookie-crunchy Italian sleeper hit. It’s the perfect finish to a night built on curiosity, comfort food, and friendly friction.

If you laughed, argued with us in your head, or discovered a new favorite snack, tap follow, share the show with a friend, and leave a quick review telling us your top ice cream flavor and your pick for the most attractive college football job.

Cold Room, Warm Banter

SPEAKER_02 0:03

Three guys around a table. By three guys, we're talking about three friends. A lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

And just like our personalities, our opinions vary, and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or getting our tips and tricks of things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something. If you stick around.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Oh. I'm Chris. I'm not Mark. And I'm not Greg.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

One of us is a little under the weather again, so please bear with us. Is it COVID? I don't think it's COVID, but I saw that they have a bunch of tests on the table actually. That's true. In just in case I need to take one. Or mask working. So that's what Uncle Andy said.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Well. We have uh it's kind of a potpourri kind of an evening.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

It's a poopourry kind of day. It's a terrible weather kind of evening.

SPEAKER_04 1:00

Well, considering it's like 12 degrees in this room.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:05

Chris, do you agree that it's cold in this room?

SPEAKER_01 1:10

I just coughed and saw my breath goof.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

Whatever. I would go 20 degrees Celsius in here, but it's quite comfortable. Um I'm cold. I'm sitting on the Kelvin's.

SPEAKER_04 1:20

Don't worry, I'm on my bl under my blanket again.

SPEAKER_02 1:22

So so there were several things. Uh first of all, can I start us off with right behind your gears?

SPEAKER_01 1:30

A fun fact.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

Yeah, let's go. You never answered this earlier when I put it out there. Let's go, okay. All right. So when uh when you have to say how much something weighs and you type it out, you always say, yeah, you know, you don't know about pounds. LBS. Pounds and you do LBS. What does LBS stand for?

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Pounds. Lord Bravadiers, Yeris Yamadaba.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

I never knew this. 54 years of life. I learned that 54 years of life. I'm I'm leaving some off.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

I was gonna say you're leaving off about 58 of them.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Uh LBS, I learned from Neil deGrasse Tyson. The uh constellation sign Libra is the scales, and LBS stands for Libras. So you say something is 52 Libras.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

So I weigh 207 Libras to Libras.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Libras. Yeah. So you got that going for you. Which is nice. Which is nice. So that's a good fun fact, though, right? Yeah, that's not bad. Yeah, I did. I did not know that. Yeah. So I did not know that. We we need to bring in some more fun facts. Fun facts are fun. I like fun facts. Fun facts are fun. That's good. So Libras.

SPEAKER_04 2:46

Libras. So uh what are we doing? Libras sounds better than pounds. I weigh eight thousand pounds. Or I weigh eight thousand Libras.

SPEAKER_01 2:54

Libras. Better emphasize the L and not the. Otherwise it's only because it's 8,000 zebras.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

Right. And by the way, fun fact, of course, a ton is how many pounds? 2,000. And why isn't a ton a thousand pounds?

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Because it's 2,000. Because it didn't start with a O and not a T. T. See, that doesn't make any sense to me. T2 ton O11. Sorry, I don't understand the I got one for you. Okay. You know the ancient Romans when they would um when they would say something before like a speech before having a drink, they would put a piece of toast in their wine for good luck. That was a good luck symbol, and they would hold it up and say, like to raise a toast. And that's where that came from. Raise a toast was from the ancient Romans with a piece of toast.

Marathon Baseball And The Ohtani Dilemma

SPEAKER_02 3:46

I did not know that. See? That was a fun fact. Yeah. We're learning all the time.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

You want one from me? I do.

SPEAKER_04 3:52

Yes. The World Series game with 18 innings last night. It drove me crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

How about the game before that? The guy pitched a complete game. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:00

So why is it 18 innings drives me crazy?

SPEAKER_02 4:02

I have a question. Why do they keep pitching to this showy Otana?

SPEAKER_04 4:06

Because they're idiotic. I mean he's the best player in baseball. He's the best hitter since Barry Bonds. Hit him. Just hit him every time. He went something like three for three or four for four last night with three intentional walks.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

Yeah. It don't intentional walk him, hit him. So but then again, I'm old school on that.

SPEAKER_04 4:26

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

He's gonna hang out over the plate like that.

SPEAKER_04 4:28

Right.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

Right here.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

Barry Bonds hung out over the plate if you think about that.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

And he'd have got one in the chin from me.

SPEAKER_04 4:35

So anyway. And steroids would have probably gone out. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 4:38

That's true. So uh we haven't done a best of in a while. Hit it. And we want to talk about, we want to do a little best of, at least a mini best of a little bit. So I mentioned a couple different possibilities. Um so just pick one. Let's go. Yeah, all right. Uh do y'all have any preferences? Nope. All right. Um let's see.

Mini Best Of: Ice Cream Favorites

SPEAKER_04 10:12

See, I like stuff now. I can get behind something like that. Like um, I had when we were in San Francisco, I got ice cream in San Francisco, and there was a Ben and Jerry's right beside a restaurant, and I got something called uh Funky Monkey. American Dream or something like that. And it was very it was let me tell you something. Why are you eating my ice cream? Uh so it was vanilla with like caramel and pretzels and something. Was it chunky like a monkey?

SPEAKER_03 10:43

Ric Flair ice cream.

SPEAKER_04 10:45

Janie likes chunky monkey ice cream because it's banana flavored. Oh, yeah. But her Janie's favorite is black walnut baskin Robbins.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

You know, I like black walnut too, but it's all right.

SPEAKER_02 10:57

That was a quick mini test of.

SPEAKER_04 11:00

What's your least favorite ice cream? Least favorite ice cream. Oh, I had a different favorite ice cream when I was a little boy. Okay. Uh was it was it Creek flavored? Dairy cheer. Oh, yeah. You two have both experienced. Yes. They had Superman.

unknown 11:16

SPEAKER_01 11:16

All the different flavors with bubble gum in it.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

Fantastic. Yum. That was my favorite when I was a little boy.

SPEAKER_02 11:25

Least favorite ice cream. This is going to be something that you guys have said and I've I've ingrained in my mind. You like this and you like this, but you don't like these things together.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Chocolate cake and barbecue.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

I do not care for coffee-flavored ice cream. I love coffee.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

Oh no, I do.

SPEAKER_04 11:43

I love ice cream. There's no way I would like coffee flavored. I do not. I like coffee. I like coffee flavoring everything. Nope. While you're thinking of yours, what's the grater's ice cream that's almost like a purple color? That's black raspberry chip. I've had it. That's yes. Because when I would go to concerts in Cincinnati, they would bring it for the for the star who was at the show. And he loved it, and they'd bring him gallons and gallons of it. Yes, that's it. Yeah, I've had it. It's good. It's fantastic.

SPEAKER_02 12:09

Oh, yeah, it's really good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:11

It's almost purple.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

Yeah. When they make it, they literally pour the I think it's Valrona chocolate sauce into the pot and it hardens in great big chunks. Oh, yeah, it's good.

SPEAKER_04 12:22

Oh uh he would get it gallons at a time to take for the rest of his tours, and they'd bring it wherever he was at. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

And it's fantastic. I'm gonna say my least favorite is not ice cream, but it's those stupid orange push-up things. Oh, I love those. Give me a push-up.

SPEAKER_04 12:41

If you can get ice cream in a toilet roll, toilet paper roll, I am down.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Have you guys ever heard my story about that when I was a kid?

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Well, it's probably that the butler got it out of the cone and you couldn't use the cone, so they made him eat it with a spoon and a mommy had to have it cut up for you. Quick story.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Quick story. Ice cream truck. No. You probably didn't have an ice cream truck in Little Mud.

SPEAKER_04 13:10

Not in Little Mud.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

You probably had them where you live, Cop.

SPEAKER_04 13:13

Yeah, we at the pool at the pool close to your house that we have now seen.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

I can see an ice cream truck being well, but the problem with the ice cream truck back then is you know, it was pedophilia? Well, it was just it was very large. Was it the tasty freeze? It was a very large chest that they opened up that they had the solid block of ice in because they didn't have refrigeration.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Refrigeration, yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 13:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

I remember always wanting ice cream off the ice cream truck, and I was never allowed to get it because we called it the ding the ding ding truck, just to be honest.

SPEAKER_02 13:43

The ding ding truck.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

SPEAKER_01 13:48

Uh yeah. We always had ice cream at home because my brother and my mother always ate ice cream every night. Of course you did.

SPEAKER_04 13:55

So I said, I want ice cream. And I knew if I said it right in front of her. You get it. Oh yeah. He goes, All right, you want ice cream? Let's go. So all the way down there, this big black driveway, and all the way down the end of it, I'm jumping along and I'm so excited. He goes, What are you gonna get? I'm like, I want a bomb pop, because that's the thing they always had on the side was the bomb pop. I'm like, I want to get a bomb pop. I'm so excited, I'm gonna get a bomb pop. We get up there, and the guy says, Hey, what do you have? And my dad goes, You'll have an orange push-up. I'm like, but dad, I hate those. He goes, I know. So I never got a bomb pop. I've still never eaten a bomb pop.

SPEAKER_04 15:37

You've never had a bomb pop?

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Nope. My father won that battle with my grandmother because I wasn't gonna say anything to my grandmother about getting something I didn't like. So guess who ate the orange push-up? Who despises them to this day?

I don't like to actually take a bite and all the chocolate on the top. You gotta know how to do it. You gotta go. Look, look, do that even slower.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

SPEAKER_01 16:37

I mean, I get it when you a fork and a knife.

SPEAKER_04 16:40

Oh, I'm sorry. But it was gold plated. I get it. Some of us go back to the theory that food on a stick is better. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

I concur on that. That's true. You know what else is good with ice cream is those the little cups you used to get from the Schwann's truck or whatever. What's a Schwann's truck? Hey, put them in a bag and they were like this. Yes, I was just gonna mention that those are good. Either chocolate or strawberry and the chocolate vanilla mix was the best one.

SPEAKER_04 20:24

So uh for common people, we don't have people cut our cheese up.

SPEAKER_02 20:28

So so you can buy a wheel that the butler sticks the thing in and pulls out and says, will this be sufficient, sir?

SPEAKER_04 20:38

So do they cut the wheel in half and then he puts it in front of the fire to where it gets melty and he slides it off?

SPEAKER_00 20:46

You know, that's got a name.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

That's got a name by the way. And he slides it off like I think it's called Huda.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

That's actually called roclette when you take the cheese out that way. And rocklets.

SPEAKER_04 21:00

I know that's how your servants do it, but some of us common folk get it in a bag at the store. Yeah, not even cubes.

I will say I was at a Christmas market last year. Yep. And you saw the racelet. Well, they had the big wheels of cheese that they were they were making pasta in. That they had heated the cheese and then they put the pasta in and cooked it in the cheese wheel. That's awesome. Amazing. Yeah, Carrie had some. It was pretty good. Um, what about worst cheese?

SPEAKER_01 21:31

Hang on, I have a question for you. Yes. Where do you find cheese at the grocery store? In the cheese shop. Okay. Is it refrigerated?

SPEAKER_02 21:41

It depends on what kind of cheese it is. Most of the cheeses I buy are refrigerated. And Amish, if you buy Amish cheese now, a lot of times it will not be refrigerated. Neither's Velveeta. Yeah, that's true. Velveeta is not real cheese. I don't know what it looks like. It's not cheese, but you know what it is? Delicious. It is, but what is it?

SPEAKER_01 22:03

What is it?

SPEAKER_02 22:04

By the way, a block of Velveeta now is like$9. Thanks so much, Donald Trump. It's delicious. Thanks, thanks, Trump. Nice, nice economy we got there. I used to be able to buy a block of cheese for a dollar and a half.

SPEAKER_04 22:15

Don't worry, Reagan cheese will make us come back. But do you know something else that's like that, like Velveeta that's not real stuff? Have you noticed that the the ice cream cones that you can get that are like in the waffle cone that have like the ice cream and then like the chocolate nuts and stuff on them? Yes. That's not real ice cream either. No. You can set it out on the counter and it doesn't melt. It doesn't melt. I don't know what you're talking about. Drumsticks. Drumsticks, yeah. That's not ice cream either. Really? No, no.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

I've seen those videos. They said it doesn't melt. Yeah, so it's not ice cream either. Now, you know what it is? Delicious.

SPEAKER_04 22:53

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

But it's not ice cream. It's eaten. It will be eaten if it comes.

SPEAKER_01 22:58

Since we're on this topic, I have a very unpopular opinion. Twinkies are the worst things made by hostess.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

I very rarely do this, but I agree with you, Chris. Wow. I do. Twinkies are terrible. I don't like Twinkies. I like almost everything else that hostess makes. I'm not a big fan of those snowball things.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

They're better than Twinkies.

SPEAKER_04 23:22

See, now I would think that I think the snowballs are worse.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

But you gotta like coconut on the snowballs.

SPEAKER_04 23:29

Yeah, and I don't like coconut, but the texture of that stuff just.

SPEAKER_02 23:33

But ding dongs, ho ho's, pies. When's the last time you saw Suzy Q? Oh yeah.

Cheese Loves And Hates

SPEAKER_04 23:37

Love those. Come on now. I love the cupcakes. The zinger cupcakes are legit. The orange, gidea.

SPEAKER_01 23:47

But here's my question.

SPEAKER_04 23:49

An attorney I used to work for. An attorney I used to work for, we would have a turkey sandwich and the orange cupcake with the little white swirl going down the middle of it.

SPEAKER_02 23:59

I may have to go buy a Susie Q. I swear I thought I swear I I've seen one recently. What about zebra cakes?

SPEAKER_01 24:08

I like a zebra cake.

SPEAKER_04 24:09

I like a zebra cake. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Christmas trees are out now, by the way. Oh, little Debbie Christmas. Christmas trees are awesome.

SPEAKER_04 24:14

Come on now. But you know what's not as good? Uh and have we not talked about this? Halloween's in like three days. Oh, it's true. What candies, what's your favorite Halloween candy? I know we've done before.

SPEAKER_02 24:25

SPEAKER_01 24:38

Reese's C. Of course he does. Reese's.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

Do you have your candy ready to give out? Uh I got two big bags in there, but I've got to go and do a trunk or treat on Thursday for the Western Hills band or football or whatever. Is the game happened? I don't know, but the trunk or treat's happening, and so I've got to go and do that.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

So um I'm ready to go.

SPEAKER_02 25:00

But anyway, um, were we going somewhere with that? With candy and uh no, I would just do it.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

How you pronounce it, Reese's cup.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

I I'd ask, what's the worst cheese to you?

SPEAKER_01 25:11

Oh, Brie, Camel Bear, anything like that. Anything fridge. Oh, blue cheese is that's brought it in it.

SPEAKER_02 25:17

I love I love blue cheese. How do you do that? I love gorgonzola, blue cheese. It's a hard past. The only one that I that the the worst cheese to me is Limburger. It stinks. It's it's terrible. Now, the monks at Gethsemane, they make the cheese. The monks that make the cheese, have you ever had that? Stinky cheese smells like feet, taste way worse. It's awful.

SPEAKER_01 25:41

You know, the only time I've had gorgonzoa that I liked it was actually stuffed in a burger. And it was good that way. I love it. It's like the grease broken down. I can't stand it.

SPEAKER_04 25:49

Do you know what kind of cheese is my favorite? Ricotta. Curds that are fried.

SPEAKER_01 25:53

Oh, yeah, baby. Fried cheese. All right. I agree with that. Max and Hermes had the best fried cheese, little square things. The original Max Hermes? Yes. Columbus, Ohio.

SPEAKER_02 26:05

Columbus, Ohio. Yep. So, where are we at? What we want to talk about now. Because I got some we got some candy that we've got to try later. Let's talk about birthday cakes. All right.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Let's go. Well, I asked you earlier, and you're supposed to give us an answer about the birthday. Would you rather sit on a birthday cake? Or eat the birthday cake? What's your favorite, what's your favorite birthday cake?

SPEAKER_02 26:25

Chocolate with chocolate frosting. Double chocolate.

SPEAKER_01 26:27

Yellow with chocolate icing.

SPEAKER_04 26:30

And um my mom made a weird one. But it's by far my favorite. And Janie's figured out how to make it. No, no, no, no, no. It was it was strawberry cake, and then it had strawberry jello on top of it, and then it had vanilla pudding on top of that. And it's fantastic.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

Interesting.

SPEAKER_04 26:50

Janie's made it before. Now you know she figured out how to make it.

SPEAKER_02 26:54

One thing about Carrie, she she can make cake. She can make some cake. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:58

So uh but Janie figured out it's by far my favorite. It's it's weird because we didn't have the money growing up in Little Mud to have frosting. So we had to put pudding on it. I mean pudding.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Pudding.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

Well, I mean I mean, but look, pudding's good.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

You know what? That's what Bill Cosby would tell everybody on first date. Hey, what happened to pudding pops? Those were awesome. Those were amazing. Well, Joe Pudding Pops. Bill Cosby put them out of business. I know, but they were awesome. Yeah. Did you guys know that a jiffy is one one hundredth of a second? Wait a minute. Yeah. A jiffy is one one hundredth of a second.

SPEAKER_02 27:38

All right, so let me ask a question. Have you heard of the uh have you heard of the uh uh we'll get that to you in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Yes, I have heard that. Okay. What's wrong with the standard unit of measure? One shake of a lamb's tail.

SPEAKER_01 27:54

That's gotta be true. That means it's gonna take a little longer. Yeah. You better be ready.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

Uh I've I've run through my best of and worst of for this particular episode. So you got anything big coming up? Um well we've got trick or treat. We've got trick or treat coming up.

SPEAKER_04 28:11

Uh we've got Reagan Reagan is in Mississippi. All right. And he's going to a political event tomorrow. Nice. Oh good. The vice president's gonna be at Old Miss. Very good. It'll be interesting. Interesting. He's he's just going for the I mean it's uh it's one of the turning point USA events. Uh Erica Kirk's supposed to be there too. It'll be it'll be interesting to go to.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

That's very cool.

SPEAKER_04 28:34

Um what's the chances there's a shooting at it? Zero percent.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

Yeah. So um we we could talk about the college football coaching openings that are now that's the case.

SPEAKER_04 28:47

Yeah, I mean, since since the last time we spoke, uh Brian Kelly is now gone.$59 million to not coach my team. So I saw this on Twitter. I don't know that it's true. Oh, if it's on Twitter, it's true. But this would be easy to find out. I just haven't done it. So what Twitter said was the athletic director who hired Jimbo Fisher at Texas AM is the same athletic director now at LSU who hired Brian Kelly. So between those two contracts, it's$76 million to buy out Jimbo and$59 million to buy out Brian Kelly to not coach their respective teams. Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02 29:31

If if it's true, yeah, that AD should never have a job again. No. So I I wanna I want to mention this because you you all sent this. I think it was you that sent this, Greg. It may have been Chris, I think it was Greg. Best available job. Chris doesn't text. Chris hasn't texted. Right. So it's clearly me. He doesn't care for us. So best available job. Best available college football jobs. And they are listed here as follows LSU, Florida, Penn State, and then R. Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, and then UCLA, Stanford, Oregon State, Colorado State, and then way at the bottom, UAB and Kent State. You said UCLA should be higher. UCLA should be number one on this list, in my humble opinion.

SPEAKER_01 30:16

UAB shouldn't even be on the list. They didn't have a program three years ago.

SPEAKER_02 30:20

Well, Trent Dilfer just about destroyed whatever program that they had. Right. But UCLA.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

I think it depends on what you're looking for in the job. Yeah. UCLA's job would be more attractive because I think for a couple reasons. One, it could it's it's an attractive job for a couple reasons. One, California's got to have a big base for recruiting. Secondly, expectations aren't much. Yep. Third, look, Los Angeles is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

And the campus, if I'm not mistaken, is right outside of Beverly Hills or includes Beverly Hills. I mean, it's right there. Right.

SPEAKER_04 31:01

Now the bad thing is taxes. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but just from a do you think the LSU job is better than the Florida job?

SPEAKER_02 31:12

So um I'll let Chris answer this one first.

Hostess Snacks And Halloween Candy

SPEAKER_01 31:17

I do. Better better than Florida. Because Florida only had success for a short, very, very short period of time. 80s, 90s. That's it. They've not been anything, they've not been relevant since.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

They won the the world champion. The the the college football championship in 06 and 08.

SPEAKER_01 31:34

Since Spurrier was how many did they win under Spurrier? One. How many did they win under Meyer? Two. How many did they won since then?

SPEAKER_05 31:41

Zero.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

Okay.

unknown 31:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:43

Zero since then. LSU.

SPEAKER_04 31:45

They they won under Sabin. They won under uh the scientist. They won under three.

SPEAKER_02 31:54

They won three.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

Right.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

They won the same amount.

SPEAKER_01 31:57

I'm just telling you, I think Florida will not be back the where they were. LSU is a program that can be back much quicker than it went down. I think LSU is a better job.

SPEAKER_02 32:05

Well, I'll say that Florida is a as a bigger recruiting school. Bigger academic school. Uh the the standards are higher to get into Florida than thanks to the That really matters on the football team. No, I'm I'm just saying. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. Um when you get down the scholarship list, those things can can matter. I mean, we only got 85 scholarships. Uh so here's the other thing, though.

SPEAKER_01 32:29

Florida basketball is really good.

SPEAKER_02 32:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:34

They're putting a lot of money toward NIL. And LSU, how much money is NIL gonna give to basketball? How much are they gonna give to Fusible? It's all gonna go football. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 32:44

Just out of those two. Of those two, it's really close to me. Uh I I could flip a coin and say reasons why one is better than the other. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 32:53

Ready?

SPEAKER_02 32:53

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 32:54

Who's gonna be the coach? Who's gonna be the coach at Florida? I told you it's gonna be John Grew. I told you who I thought it was gonna be. I think it's gonna be John Green. I can see John Green in Florida. Is that who you're saying? I'm going with Missouri's coach. Okay. Drinkowitz. Yeah. Eli. Okay. Who's gonna be the coach at LSU?

SPEAKER_02 33:16

This is a tough one.

SPEAKER_04 33:17

Lane Kiffin. Is Lane Kiffin leaving old miss?

SPEAKER_02 33:20

I think John Sumerall's gonna be the guy at LSU. That's my prediction.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

He's at Tulane right now. So I can see it. I think Lane Kiffin takes LSU.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

I don't think Lane Kevin leaves. I think he's he's happy and he's making a bunch of money, and he's gonna use these to get even more money.

SPEAKER_04 33:38

Oh, yeah, he's gonna get paid. Whether it's at Old Miss or at a different school, he's getting paid.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

And here's the thing. Uh he's tapped into some good nil money there. Yeah. So why why would you up and go to Baton Rouge. Red stick.

SPEAKER_04 33:55

Yep. I don't know. You know, if if things hadn't have changed, we would be talking about Ohio State Penn State this podcast.

SPEAKER_02 34:03

I'm telling you, boys, it's gonna be a game. It will be a game because it always is. Uh Penn State will play out of their minds, and it'll be close going into the fourth quarter. That's my prediction.

SPEAKER_04 34:16

The line's 20. 20, 20 more.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

I would bet that right now. I would I would take Penn State with the points. All right, we ready to eat some candy? What we got? We're gonna eat. I've been waiting so long for you guys to try this. This is an Australian candy bar. It's called a violet crumble. Good day, mate. And so does it violetly crumble? It's very light. It's very weird. Take a little piece. Just a little just a little taste. I'm gonna hand it this way. You break off a big chunk, then give Chris the rest.

SPEAKER_04 34:50

Is it just gonna be a little taste? I'm not sick. Taste sick.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

It's just a little taste. I just want a little taste.

SPEAKER_04 34:58

It's interesting looking at it. It was not what I was expecting. Very wispy. It was not what I was expecting to look at.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

Have you had this before?

SPEAKER_02 35:06

It is an 11.

SPEAKER_01 35:08

SPEAKER_02 35:17

SPEAKER_01 35:18

How would they have?

SPEAKER_02 35:20

They had they had a whole um whole other box.

Birthday Cakes And Nostalgia

SPEAKER_01 35:23

And they're how much of these? Three dollars. Oh my god. Oh my. Oh wow. 240 calories for one candy bar. It's a big candy bar. What do you think? I love how it violently crumbles in my mouth. It's a honeycomb flavor.

SPEAKER_03 35:52

What do you think of the texture? The inside melts away.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

Here's my opinion.

SPEAKER_02 36:03

What's the inside like? What's the taste like? It's like honey to me. I don't know. What do you think?

SPEAKER_01 36:09

Yeah, it's like um honey caramel.

SPEAKER_02 36:11

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

Like honey crisps crunched up in there. Here's my thing. If this was in fun-size bars, it would be perfect. I don't know if I could eat the whole bar. It's pretty rich. Very rich. Delicious. But very rich.

SPEAKER_02 36:28

Yeah. Greg, is this thing on? I keep saying the question. This is a German chocolate. Yeah, I'm not sick.

SPEAKER_04 37:21

As he opens up the candy bar to pass around. It's awkward.

SPEAKER_01 37:25

I know. I'm just sure. I can't get the thing open up there. I can't even see it. Hey, look, right now I'm not glowing though. Give me a couple weeks. This is great radio.
