(00:00):
We just found the Washed Up walkOns best Iowa podcast in the land.
We're less than two months away fromIowa football, Hawks by a million back
on everybody's chest, and we gota couple Iowa football topics. Today,
NCAA dropped their top one hundred players. Four Hawkeys made the list. The
boys also got a brand new lockerroom that looks like a spaceship compared to
what me and Kevin had, andKevin's getting married. Advice from the walk

(00:22):
On Army, sit back, relaxles, have a day. Let's go The

(00:52):
North remembers, Yes, it does. Welcome into the wash Up walk Ons.
Maybe we'll just make that the interestof the episode. From now on,
the North remembers, are you ofthe Northman? Now? Kennick remembers
what you said about him? Doeshe though? He does? What did
I even? What did I sayabout him? You know you said that

(01:12):
he'd be a benchwarmer in twenty twentyfour? Where are you starting him on
this uh? On this team?I guarantee you he'd be a better long
snapper than you. Wow, it'sfunny. There's a chance. There's a
chance. I don't know how wellhe's going to do in uh in filling

(01:32):
the gap on the pat field goalthat at five seven, at five ten,
two twenty, it was already hardenough to uh, to kind of
stick yourself in the ground against someof those three hundred pound d linemen.
I can't imagine at five seven,one seventy it would have got any easier.
The rules are pretty pretty lenient,Naga. They they don't. You

(01:53):
don't have to do a whole lotanymore. They keep the guys off that
long snapper now. I don't knowif they do. They do. I
got hurdled. They do do abetter job now than when we were playing.
That's that is true. That's true. I got hurdled, tackled,
held, they did everything to me. Uh. He could have been a

(02:15):
better long snapper than me, althoughhe was a punter, so you probably
don't. We're gonna put him atpunner. We'll have to see what Reece,
Reese Dakin or Dakin is gonna beable to do for us this year.
That's a big question mark the Iowapunny game. Sure, they didn't
have Australians back then. I don'tthink they were even invented yet. The
Australians weren't They weren't Australians yet.When when did the British invent Australian I

(02:38):
think it was like the seventeen hundreds. Okay, January one, nineteen oh
one was the first day of Australiaofficially Commonwealth of Australia. But when do
they start sending people to Australia likeas like a prison, like the prisoner
Exchange program based only that's how itwas. Yeah, it was like the
It was like the Island of MisfitToys for a while, That's what That's

(03:01):
how Australia became a country. Andthen yeah, and now it's like a
bunch of crocodile dundee guys running aroundto my knowledge, Okay, so yeah,
I just wonder why they like lovethe sport of rugby and crocodile hunter
came from there, you know.So so this is not where I figured
this episode would take a turn to. But we did need a little bit
of extra content tonight, because allwe got is Kevin's getting married and a

(03:23):
couple of other Iowa's headbits. Sowe'll just start with this. I'm not
great at history and geography things likethat. Kevin, you're much better than
me. Granted, sounds like you'reyou probably are as well. There's there
was there natives to Australia, likethere were yea, the Aborigine. Yeah,
yeah, they got the Oh what'sthe What's is this a similar situation

(03:46):
where the where the British prisoners wouldlike, Hey, we got to figure
this out and take this place over, so we're gonna give them blankets with
smallpox in it? Or are they? Were they cordial or how I'm not
sure there was like a Christopher Columbusfigure for the prison that were sent to
Australia. To my knowledge, I'malso I think I just unleashed all of
my knowledge on this subject in thepast like a minute. Yeah, that's

(04:08):
about the extent of my I mean, you can just kind of basically reason
that Australia is run by white peopleof British descent and not people of color
of native descent, So you canprobably infer what happened, But I don't
know specifically how the interactions among localswent. I feel like the math probably
checks out there for you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So from seventeen

(04:30):
eighty eight to eighteen sixty eight,more than one hundred and sixty two thousand
convicts are transported to Australia. JesusChrist. But I mean it's like that,
or spend your life in an eighteenthcentury prison. Oh so when they
got to the country, they werejust free to live more or less.
Yeah, I think so it's likebasically like, let's get rid of these
people from Britain and we'll send themto a colony where they'll be basically forced

(04:58):
to create a livable colony or dieor die those are your options. Wow,
And I don't hate that way todevelop a colony, right, I
don't hate that. That would bethat would be a hilarious scenario. They
send the first guys over and theycome back like I don't know however long
it takes to saale from Australia toEngland to come back, and it's just
like a Ritz Carlton built on thebeach. They just they're just living it

(05:20):
up and they got a little resortgoing my ties umbrellas around a pool.
Like, boy, I might weshould do that with Mars. We should
send our misfits out to Mars andfigure it out. You have four years
to build a Ritz Carlton on marscoreally sort of. I would say a

(05:41):
lower budget definitely not a top tierbudget TV show. The one hundred.
Don't know if anybody's familiar with that. You were obsessed with that show for
all oh brother, when I whenI went daddy daycare mode, when Lauren
went back after maternity leave and Ihad Kinley from spring break through the end
of the school year. This wouldhave been last year twenty three. I
watched The one hundred from start tofinish over again and it was incredible.

(06:06):
And I bring it up because theplot of that is somewhat similar to sending
kind of sending your criminals to goand you know, be the explorers in
that one. This isn't giving awayany spoilers. It starts like first episode,
first couple episodes of season one,starts with there's this colony Earth experienced

(06:30):
some apocalyptic event. They got offEarth and made it into space, and
they've been living in space for Idon't know how many years, but they're
running out of oxygen. So nowthey have to send people back to see
if Earth is inhabitable again not radioactiveand going to kill you. So they
send down one hundred pretty much childrenjuveniles like basically all the kids from Juvie

(06:54):
up in space and that's where thestory starts to take place. It's pretty
pretty great, six seven seasons ofit. It's very sci fi, not
horrible budget like, but it's notlike Star Wars budget. Pretty good show.
I don't know, this is whatyou get on the walk up,
washing up, walk on, Welcomein doing this podcast cautiously from the new

(07:15):
office in the new home. Uh. Internet has been shaky at best to
Grant, I don't know if youwould are we Are we on the fiber
or we what are we doing?We're on a fiber. We have fiber
internet. Oh do you need meto get my guy from the fall?
Maybe? Guy? Yeah, wegotta you say the word, I'll get

(07:36):
on Twitter. I'll leash my guy. So so there was already a fiber
connection, uh port in this house, right, So so we went with
fiber my fiber in Walkee. Itis fantastic, great connection. The issue
and I we could work around thisif I really wanted to go completely just

(07:58):
all out, and maybe I shouldsince I were from home and a lot
of that work is podcasting, andit would be nice if I didn't just
disappear in the middle of shows becausemy internet went out. But part of
the issue is they got fiber inthis house, or I guess most of
everything that was built in this housewas built on the upper level. It's
a ranch, and the fiber portand router is over on the far end

(08:24):
of the house on the upstairs floor. I am as far away in this
office as I could be from thesignal. So what you're saying is you've
embezzled way too much money. Youbought too big a house, and the
router is too far away from whereyou This mansion that I'm living in has
two houses still by the way,yeah, this mansion. So what I

(08:45):
have to do too big is whatI'm getting from this. So I got
the package we got like the tocounter that point, I got the lowest
amount of fiber you could get,like one hundred upload, one hundred download
megabits per second or whatever in thiscorner of the of the house, in
the office I was getting. Idid a test on just the signal.
I was getting eight download, twoupload. So I had to buy a

(09:07):
booster that sits right beneath the bedroomon the far side of the basement here
and then run a court run anEthernet cord from the booster over to the
computer. Now we're good. Supposedlywe're getting like ninety ninety, so there's
only a slight drop off from whatwe're supposed to be getting. However,
that's not a true wired connection likeI had in the old house, straight

(09:31):
to the direct service line, soI could just pop in and out whenever.
You never know. So far,so good connection, bars say good
on the side, we'll see.This is what the washing up walkins is
now is what it is. ButI'm happy to be in the new house.
Moving sucks. If anyone is wondering, not sure, I mean grant,
I'm pretty sure every listener has experiencedmoving at one point. Yeah,

(09:54):
it's not great, but here weare happy to be here. No guests.
We've been on a nice little runof guests recently. A great response
from LeVar Woods episode Spencer Lee,Doctorman Pat Anger. That's a that's quite
the lineup right there. Before thatwe had Mitch King. I mean,
we put out five bangers in arow. If anybody's out there saying that

(10:15):
we've fallen off, I don't knowwhat you're talking about. We might be
doing one episode a week. Becauseit's the summer and we're in the middle
of dead season episodes we have beendoing. How the numbers doing pretty good?
I mean the numbies are down becausewe're doing half the episodes. Well,
oh, that's right. You don'tget to see an episode by episode
or what I do, And tobe honest, I haven't checked it in
a couple of weeks. Those episodesstill doing just as good as a singular

(10:39):
episode does better. Actually, onYouTube, the Spencer Lee episode quickly climbed.
We've had our YouTube since we started, and the Spencer episode is already
a top five viewed podcast. Weprobably gott into that Pokemon I was gonna
say, we got the come onRed, We dipped into the we dipped

(11:01):
into the wrestling and the Pokemon communities, and now we have over five thousand
views on the on that YouTube videoalone, let alone the people who came
and listened to the show. Isthat like fifty cents or is that five
dollars? I think it's like adollar per thousand or something like. That's
probably close to that. Yeah,yeah, pretty close to five dollars.
Let's go. So thanks Spencer forthe for the five five spot. Does

(11:24):
that still get you a footlong atSubway. No, it doesn't, dude.
And I just had this conversation withLauren yesterday about how you go to
Subway. Now you get a sandwich, it's sixty two bucks. You want?
You want a sandwich and a cookieand chips and a drink at Subway,
you got to take out a secondmortgage on your house. I'm so
mad that at one point, eveneven absent of the five dollars foot long

(11:48):
run that they would do, becauseI think that was only for like a
month at a time or something.No, I mean it started and that
was like their thing for a while. Well that was that was probably one
of the more successful fast food marketingcampaigns in American who had to be.
I mean, everyone still knows thejingle five dollar yeah, five dollar foot

(12:09):
long geek geeky get you some Ohno, that's a different one. And
now you go get a foot longsandwich and you're looking at like twelve bucks.
And that's if you don't get extrameat or anything extra on it.
It depends on the sandwich now too. Yeah, I do believe now that
they have the five dollars foot longcookie, which I do believe they have

(12:31):
a foot long cookie. Do theyhave a foot long cookie? They've replaced
it and they have another foot longsomething, and then they have a foot
long sandwich. You can get threedifferent kinds of foot long. So I
was just gonna say, like,I went to Subway decent amount in like
high school college era, and it'sone of those franchises that I feel like
has really fallen off in recent years. But now that I hear that they

(12:52):
have a foot long cookie, yeah, maybe I'm wrong on that. Jared
molesting kids didn't help. I say, something happened up in a corporate that
might have done that. Yeah,they're there the face of their their branding
and their marketing. Being a sexpredator did not help. But I will
say something, Look just looking atthat guy. Just looking at a picture

(13:15):
of that guy that actually like surprisedanyone didn't surprise me. But I mean
it's like photo stock image of youGoogle cold predator, all right, Yeah,
it's like some dude with glasses anda receding hairlines, a little overweight,
exactly likes to show you his transformationpictures on the internet. I mean,

(13:37):
he did lose a lot of weight. I'd love to know what his
diet actually looked like is the claimthat he only ate subway for and lost
all that weight. I think that'show they spun it. I don't know
if that was accurate. Man,if they would fit. I love subway.
Is why I'm riled up about somethinglike this Because Laura and I first
date was at a subway. Howromantic. Well, we'll call it a

(14:01):
date. We kind of call ita date. It was like, you
know, senior year. We gotout early at lunch. We only had
like the first half of the schedule, so like the first our first like
true date where it was just meand her. Where did you guys just
go get some SODA's or did youactually eat food? Oh no, it's
wit sandwiches. Would you get candleda dinner at the subway? Uh?
Oh? I get the Subway clubevery time, American cheese, extra mayonnaise.

(14:22):
Okay, Yeah. She now doesn'tlike subway And now as adults with
adult money, we can't even affordsubway. Back then, we can afford
it even as high school students.Not anymore. Another thing about this office,
I don't know if you guys cantell I probably sound slightly more echoey
I'm gonna have to figure that out. I'm gonna have to do some soundproofing

(14:43):
here. Might have to get somelegitimate like sound foam tiles on the back.
It looks like the walls right behindyou is your closet or is your
office now a closet. It's okay, it's a little depth. Perception is
way off. I probably have fivesix feet behind me. Okay, Yeah,
I'm in like I think it's anine by ten closet or a nine

(15:05):
by seven closet or something like that. Oh, that's all you need for
an office. Yeah, it's agood office. I can fit you know.
I got like cubes in here,full standing desk like it's chair storage.
I'm good. Door that closes,so a little bit more privacy.
I'm in the basement. It's waybetter than the old setup. But we're

(15:26):
still figuring things out. Let's talkhawks a little bit. Uh you guys
been watching any w NBA, No, the W as they call it,
DUDEA catch a little bit here andthere they call it the w oh okay,
but no, to answer your question, Caitlin had a triple double the
other day. I did see that. Yeah, I see, I see
all the Twitter highlights. Yeah,I see all the stuff on social media,

(15:48):
but I've I've not been so youhave not been converted as a fan.
Dude, I don't even watch NBAgames. I don't either. I've
watched way more w NBA than Ihave NBA in the past six months.
If I mean, I do seethat the Fever are starting to put some
wins together. Do they have achance to maybe make the postseason? I
believe going into today they were actuallyseventh in the league out of twelve.

(16:11):
Eight teams make it to the playoffs, so they were in as of today.
They did lose today to a teamthat's worse than them, the Washington
Mystics. Caitlyn had twenty nine hugefourth quarter, tried to make a comeback,
they couldn't quite do it. Basically, the drama right now keV for
someone who doesn't tune in on aregular basis and probably doesn't sucks right.

(16:33):
Everybody wants her fired. They hateher, although she's gotten. Opinion of
her I believe has been a littlebit on the up and up since the
beginning. I think what helps thatis, you know, you get Caitlin
the rookie, and they start tofigure out how to play together, and
Caitlyn starts to figure out how toplay in a different league at a higher

(16:55):
level, and things start to looka little bit better. But yeah,
the coach isn't good. Coach isbad, probably as a grade. And
the whole race right now is AngelReese is on the Chicago Sky, another
very middle of the road to bottomthird of the league team, and they're

(17:15):
basically in a battle with a fewother teams for like those last couple playoff
spots, and then it's a runawayrace between Caitlyn and Angel for Rookie of
the Year. No one's really closeto those two. And I would say,
in my biased opinion, although Ithink there's a lot of people out
there that would echo this grant.If you've watched any at all or know

(17:36):
anything about it, you can giveyour opinion, I think Caitlin's pretty clearly
ahead in that race. How farhow many games we got left to the
postseason? I think we're just overhalfway through the seasons. Like they play
like forty games. I think they'redo they take a break for Olympics or
no, they will take a breakfor the Olympics a whole month, Yeah,
I don't know how many regular seasongames are then after that to the

(18:00):
playoffs, but I think they gotlike sixteen of their forty games left.
Honestly, did that sounds kind ofnice? Can you imagine just like a
nice little break mid season, likea month break and it probably won't be
quite a month, but yeah,seriously, even a couple of weeks.
Dude, imagine back bye weeks,especially for basketball where you're playing like every
other day or like at least twicea week. Oh, they've got WNBA.

(18:23):
The WNBA is on nonstump all thetime. I feel like they never
take a break. They've never hadThey've never had more coverage. I mean,
i'd call it the Caitlin effect orwhatever you want, but their media
deals and and how much coverage.Yeah, yeah, I mean like that
now's our chance? Like, arewe going to have a successful league?
Like they would be stupid not too. I mean they if you're not going

(18:45):
to lean into this rookie class andall the hype that Angel and Caitlin and
a bunch of the other rookies havethat do you think do you think the
beef is for show for to driveup audience engagement or do you think it's
actual real. I've thought about it, you know, I've you know,
are you asking between Caitlyn and Angelspecifically? Yeah, I don't think we're

(19:07):
that media driven you think. Ithink a lot of it is media driven,
because I mean, Skip and Shannonhad a show based on it,
based on that exact concept. Youliterally just create a beef out of nothing.
Somebody, it's it's debate class.You're just hey, you choose this
side, I'll choose the other,and we'll we'll strongly support our own side

(19:29):
as if we truly believe that,whether we do or not, and it'll
just, you know, the clashingwill just drive ratings. And that's essentially
how they had, how a lotof sports talk shows work. I don't
think that Caitlyn would ever engage inanything like that. Unfortunately, I know
she's not. I mean, Ijust see the comments coming out of Angel
now and then Angel certainly and wordfor word has said, I don't mind

(19:55):
playing the villain implying that Caitlyn isthe hero, and I think it works.
I think it naturally works. Idon't think that like there's a DM
or a text message between Caitlyn andAngel, or like even a conversation had
when they play each other that's like, hey, let's keep let's keep playing
into this so that people I thinkit comes naturally. Unfortunately, a lot

(20:17):
of it is driven by the blackversus white thing, and people make it
a race, a race thing.I guess with Twitter and how toxic that
is, it's always going to bean issue. So you you know that
drives a lot of it. Youreally don't have to fabricate a ton of
it. Nonetheless, they are thetwo best rookies in the league. Angels
basically averaging a double double with pointsand rebounds like right at like thirteen and

(20:40):
eleven, and I think like acouple assists per game, but then Caitlyn's
averaging more points, like sixteen orseventeen points went up after today, and
I think she's averaging double digit assistslike she's averaged. She's averaging maybe close
to a double double. And thenher her rebounds are also super high for

(21:03):
her guard. She gets like sevenor eight boards a game. So I
don't know, Caitlin's doing well.She's probably gonna win Rookie of the Year,
and uh, she's not going tobe on the Olympic team, which
came out a month and a halfago. But I think that's a sweet
If there's any constellations, she's probablygot two or three more Olympics in her
future. Mmm oh yeah with uhyeah, with a healthy career. This

(21:29):
being her first year means that youwent on the home turf in La.
Yeah, l A is next.Right, that'll be sick. I mean,
that'll be so that'll be so sweet. But also at the same time,
like I think it'd be cool togo to an international Olympics, right,
oh, absolutely, Oh, butour Olympics would be sweet still you
kidding of course, right, youwant to show out for your home country,

(21:51):
right, But at the same time, I don't know, there's like
a little bit, a bit ofa peal like, oh, we're going
to go some cool city other partof the planet and show out there.
Yeah. I mean I think asa young person in general, getting a
chance to travel, right and doand do your thing in another country to
represent your own country is I thinkit's what makes the Olympics so sweet.

(22:15):
It's the appeal is like it's likewe're going to war, but nobody dies.
It's just like same to conquer allthe sports. We're just we get
to prove our dominance through athletic events, We're going to prove our dominance through
archery and skeet shooting. There aresome just super appurate in the US.

(22:36):
They actually kind of dominates and skeetshooting. It's kind of hilarious. Did
you want you during? I'd beupset if we didn't. Are you kidding?
You? Tune into some of thoselike off off kind of sports.
You know, you catch the uh, you catch the the archery going on,
and it's just some Australian dude whoancestors were just prisoners who got thrown
on an island versus an American andthey're just locked in there, just just

(23:02):
and they let it go and theyshift cameras to the target and it just
pins it right in the bulls eye. You're like, these guys are elite.
Actually I love watching the archery.Oh, it's amazing. What are
some other niche sports that I lovewatching? Somebody got on me on the
YouTube comments last last episode for sayingniche instead of niche By the way,

(23:22):
is it? Have I been pronouncingit wrong my entire life? They're like,
what are we trying to pander tothe French here is it niche or
niche? I'm pretty sure is niche. It probably is supposed to be pronounced
niche for both, but the Americanversion is just niche. They got like
on your niche. They got likebreak dancing though now like skipboard break dancing

(23:44):
in the Olympics. Break Yeah.Man, I feels like I'm not as
huge on the subjective sports right.It feels like yo yo ing might be
put in there. I break dancingmade it well, like, so I'd
say gymnastics is subjective. Like theyhave judges, that's true. I do
like watching a Russian judge who givessomeone a zero. Maybe, like I
don't like skateboarding. I don't know. It's tough. It's also sports we

(24:08):
don't understand because we never played.So what about a flag football coming up
for the next Olympics. I believeI think that's a tragedy. Flag football
has been a foot. We gottago or don't put football in it at
all, you know, school,we gotta read back three v three basketball,
that's really yeah, just the USAsquad. It's not like college kids

(24:32):
like it's it's not it's not We'renot sending Lebron for the three on three,
not because we got the five onfive one to win. Well,
we're gonna win that too. Wecould win in the United States of America.
Can't win both. I mean,I think I think we're going to
win both. But I think it'dbe tougher if Lebron has play you like
eight hours of basketball day. Well, I'm not saying the same guys for

(24:56):
man. I think I think theUSA can. I imagine you get some
sub in the three on three teamsso they'll say he call it twelve and
five. I want to say,I think put seventeen of the best players
out there. I saw that GrantJimmer I think is on our three on
three teams. I believe. Ibelieve he's like our star of the three
on three. This guy threes,dude, that's what we should That's what

(25:18):
if you're actually putting a three onthree team together, like and you get
first DIBs over the five on fivesquad who you're taking from like the NBA
gotta be I feel like I don'tI don't know the three on three.
I don't even know basketball that wellat the highest level. What what are
you looking for in a three onthree. Do you need a big you
need one big guy and two guards? Basically probably yeah, but it needs

(25:41):
to be an athletic like more apower forward. Are you trying to find
like a one, three and four? I'll think like, uh, I
mean like Aaron Gordon potentially, Ithink you want that last four, like
an athletic four, A true oneand then a two or three works.
I wonder how many guys you get. You probably get ten. I'm guessing
maybe you probably is the bron stillone of your three? Well, he's

(26:04):
on the five on five team.We can't. I'm saying you get first,
You get first pick over the twentytwenty four right now? Yeah,
I probably got Probably not. He'sprobably coming off the bench. He's uh,
he's getting old even even in twothousand and five. Personally he was
still No. In Bronze Prime intwo thousand and nine, ten to twenty
twelve. Give me bro you knowwhen he was losing to a bunch of

(26:26):
French guys down in San Antonio everyyear. Right, Okay, so you
give me he's getting old too.No, no, no, don't give
me stuff. I want? Uhpicking Steph can still shoot? Are you
kids? Probably want Luca. Lucais not an American. He's oh from
Slovenia. Shoot, we have allthe good white guys are from I was
just thinking of you. No,just guys in the NBA. No,

(26:48):
no, no Jannis, no NewYork. I'm not a guy anywhere,
you know. How do you knowa Wemby guy. We got to pick
Americans like he do to you.He's to, don't it? It does
get tough. Maybe Lebron is onthe team. Then you Kegan Murray,
Greek Murray over like Kevin Durant.Okay, I think ke Gean made the

(27:14):
like the practice squad for the forthe Olympic team though. Yeah, he's
on the team that they scrimmage.So that's pretty sick. Yeah, who's
some who's just an absurdly long gimmeDrew Timmy Are you kidding? Yes?
Uh, just give me some guars. Uh. He's on, he's on
Lucas say that what's up with thatman? He's Bosnian? Well he wants

(27:40):
to he wants to warn there,though, was he? I mean they
kind of some of the I know, like bolitics and stuff. They they
we stretched the rules on you.There's a lot of foreign countries that will
claim American gus since playing for Spainissue. Really yeah, I saw Peter
Jacks playing for Sauth Sudan. Yeah, yes, I think he was actually

(28:00):
born there. I think he wastoo, but if I'm not mistake,
But no, like there there arelike Americans who will like, oh my
parents are from there, and rightlike, oh yeah, we'll claim you
can be an Olympic team for sure. Yeah, I remember. I don't
know if his last Olympics or twoOlympics ago. The guy who won the
four hundred hurdles was an American,but he ran for Trinidad and Tobago.

(28:23):
One of the there's any speaking oftrack and field, there's a I don't
know if he's still on the teamor if he just recently graduated from Iowa,
but he won them. He wonthe Mexico Trials, like the Mexican
Olympic Trials in the the high hurdleguys, right yeah, yeah, so
he's like he'll be on the Mexicannational team. The uh Brittany Brown,

(28:47):
the Iowa discus thrower who was theworld champ last year La lalga yeah d
Q at the trials really yeah,not that Olympics that's tough. But uh,
there was a girl so Drake andI tried to talk about this on
DHT that then got cut because Idropped out because of the Internet. A
girl that was there basically the sameyear as we were kept. She came

(29:07):
in in fourteen and was there throughseventeen. Britney Brown was second in the
two hundred meter open, two hundredsecond. We got silver at the qualifier.
Fast. She's a she's an Olympian. She's one of our one hundred
Olympians. Hawkey. I think wehave way more than a hundred Olympians out
there, one hundred track and fieldOlympians. Okay, I'm not to say.

(29:30):
I was going to say, it'sprobably closer to six hundred. Yeah,
I mean, I mean we're stackedin every sport. I always love
that in the like the parade theydo before, it's like they bring us
in. It was just a seaof red white. That's an army.
Yeah, they weren't some weird likePolo Ralph Lawrence sweater for no reason.
DJIBOUTI walks in. They've got threecompetitors. America walks in. We have

(29:52):
five hundred. Yeah, we're goingto take home all these medals, boys
and girls. There are five hundredand ninety two athletes in the twenty twenty
four US Olympic team. Wow,gush. And then there's the countries now
and then that have like one two. Yeah, they'll walk in with one.
Yeah, you got some high jumperthat made it and that's it.
I can't relate. Sucks to suck. Yeah, say number one, baby,

(30:15):
I can't imagine having one Olympian goodluck. Is there a sport we
don't participate in? Like are wesitting out on squash this year or school?
I'm sure there's probably a couple that, like, you didn't we didn't
qualify for like gotta be I mean, I bet. I mean when no,
we have weightlifters, it's I mean, the US is generally not good

(30:37):
at Olympic clifting. Relative No,it's all like Eastern Europeans, Russians crushing
that. A couple of Middle Easterns. Yeah, yeah, I know.
We got a questrian. You know, we got some equestrians represent the US
out there. I think it's Icould be wrong. I think Bruce Springsteen's
daughter is on our questrian team.Wow, I could be wrong about them.

(31:00):
That sounds right, interesting. Well, a couple other Hawkeye items here
just before. We haven't talked aboutthis either. Again. This was announced
like three four weeks ago. Itwas right after we had talked about Ben
Keeter with Austin blythe Peter will onlybe doing wrestling this year. I don't
know if you guys saw that.I did see that. Not surprising to

(31:22):
me. I think that was ourspeculation the entire time. He put the
statement out that he left the dooropen to coming back to football. Yeah,
he plans to return to football.I guess. I don't know the
motivation to that. My initial responseto that would be he's still young.
Right. Last year was his firstseason on the football team. I believe

(31:44):
he red shirted, so he stillhas four years of eligibility football wise,
and the opportunity right now as awrestler is probably just greater. I don't
know what the wrestling I don't reallykeep up with, like the ins and
outs of the wrestling lineup and who'sgot heavyweight? If you know, I
imagine he will be our starter atheavyweight. keV, do you have any
idea on that. Probably it wouldhave to be if he's going to not

(32:07):
play football, he's going to focuson wrestling. He's going to be our
heavyweight. He's probably gonna sit rightaround two forty to fifty and wrestle heavyweight.
And he feels like right now hecan still I mean, he's still
going to work on being athletic andall that stuff. But and who knows,
maybe he'll still go over to thecomplex and work footwork and linebacker stuff
every once in a while, justlike to put the pads on occasion a

(32:30):
little bit. Yeah, but itlooks like he's going to try and win
a national championship, which I thinkhe has. I don't think it's out
of the question. I don't knowwhat the national landscape looks like at the
heavyweighth tier this upcoming year, butit seems like he would do that and
then as he continues to get bigger, stronger, faster, then maybe come

(32:51):
back and play football when he's youknow, I don't know ready. I
think physically he's pretty much ready.But your thoughts on that, either of
you. Sorry, I was justreading the list of sports for the twenty
twenty four Olympics. I feel likeyou're a big Olympics guy. I love
the Olympics man. Anytime the Usacan the sertest dominance in the world.

(33:15):
Stay jump off for it. Thereyou go, that's good. What did
you say? What are your thoughtson on Keeter? I mean he he
was a world champion wrestler. Ibelieve you nineteen or something like that.
Is that is that good? Yeah? Seems good? Okay at this point

(33:37):
in your life. I don't thinkthere's anything wrong with Lenny into the sport
that you're going to have more successin. Yeah, I mean I think
he's on the level at which hecould compete for the Olympics someday, like
be he could he could be upthere in the trials, like potentially as
our guy in the red, whiteand blue. Right, And you know,
like I was, obviously, footballis cool, NFL is awesome.

(33:58):
You get to make a lot ofmoney, and it's basically the our country
sport, right, Yeah, Americabaseball is pastime, but America runs on
football now. But there's nothing quitelike I gotta imagine represent your country in
a worldwide competition and winning a goldmedal. Yeah, it's gotta be sweet,

(34:19):
stand on the podium. I meanthat that. I think, I
think that's an unbeatable dream. Imight this might be a bold take give
me a gold medal over a SuperBowl? Wow? What a What a
conversation that is? Huh gold medalor a Super Bowl? Man as a
football kid, as a football guy, that's tough, dude. That's what

(34:40):
I played football. That's what I'msaying. But I'm saying, like,
oh, man, to take homea gold medal in the Olympics happens once
every four years, competed against theworld. Yeah, man, it does
it matter what sport the medal isin? Like would you take want Well,
I'm saying you personally, like wouldyou still take it if it was
in I don't know, like oneof the like name any equestrians, Like

(35:06):
if it was in a question,would you take the equestrian gold medal?
I think it would happen. IfI grew up like loving equestrian and riding
horses, then I probably would sayyes. But I've ridden a horse one
time in my life and so nowI'm going to say no to that.
But about to be sports growing up, Like so I would like running track.
If I could take home the fourhundred meters dash gold medal for America,

(35:30):
yeah, I would probably take thatover over a Super Bowl Championship.
I uh just reminded me that I'mall. I will turn thirty, we
both will this year. And Ihave never ridden a horse in my life
thirty years. Never been something shoulddo before you die. It's cool.
Don't you think she's never been inthe situation to do it. Horses are
awesome. Horses are great now.I don't think they like me personally.

(35:51):
Generally, large animals have not likedme. What are you doing to the
end? What are you doing tothese horses? Yeah, harmless, it's
they're so nice. The vibes thatI give off. These large animals do
not like me. Are you justlike, are you being mean to them?
Or are you staring them right inthe eyes when you're just walking,
you know, like you're at thezoo, you go up to the uh

(36:15):
you go up and then you walkby the draft. Animals are in prison,
man, I mean it's like veryhuman prison. You look at the
the people in there. They're notgoing to be that nice team man.
That's probably true. All right,Moving on, the Iowa football team got

(36:36):
a new locker room. Oh dude, what and I'm salty? So do
you remember they sent out that thatthing in the legacy program, Like they
gave us the opportunity to sponsor alocker, and I was like very confused
by that. Was like, youjust want money for me to put my
name on the existing lockers that arethere because there were sponsors. We were

(36:59):
there was that there were sponsors,some of them more, yeah, someone
more, And I'm like, uh, yeah, no, but this makes
a lot more sense that those looklike expensive lockers. Dude, These lockers
are like organ s. You canrun the music if you want. I'm
still a little bit confused how theywork. I am too. From what

(37:21):
I can tell you, I thinkthey are like a modified, you know,
locker like football locker room specific versionof a recliner. I think they
recline, oh, so that theycan actually sleep. And I'm like those
inflatable little tubes and they so nowthe guys can actually kick back and sleep
in the middle of camp or likeyou know, they've got ninety minutes between
a class and practice, or practicein a class they don't want to go

(37:45):
home quick or whatever. You knowwhat it made me think of You ever
watched the show Pimp My Ride.They pimped the locker room. We're gonna
put TVs here. Every single lockerone hundred and twenty some locker have a
TV on top of it. Theybrought genuine into design the Iowa football locker
room. It looks so sick.This is the kind of stuff that we

(38:08):
could have only dreamed of when wewere there. I have a question me
and Drake discussed this. Do youthink the TVs only display your name or
can you throw up like Game ofThrones on there or something. I don't
think that each one is hooked tostreaming platforms. I do believe I'm going
to do it, though. Ido believe that as in the video it

(38:30):
was shown, they just have theplayer's name, number, high school and
like in a nice, sleek looking, shiny for recruit type of way.
I do believe I have a footballprogram that will soon be a daily schedule.
Yep, it'll be. It'll bethe itinerary excuses why your lads on
every inch of your locker room?What the schedule is? I guarantee on

(38:52):
weekends or like weeks, the boysaren't there, they'll show what they showed
in the video. But every daywhen they walk into that locker room,
every single TV is going to saywhen their next meeting is when practice starts,
when the special teams meeting is whenduring camp, it's going to say
when your meal is, when thewhen the bus leaves, when the injury
bus leaves in the morning, Likeit's going to be a bunch of stuff

(39:14):
that they used to just post outin the hallway on a on a on
a corkboard. And evidently that's notgood enough anymore because that locker room is
absolutely absurd. I don't even knowhow they open. I think the seat
might open up and that's where youput in like your clothes, and I
don't know, but I'm jealous.They look sick, look sick, and

(39:38):
this is this is an example ofhow you have to compete. It's in
arms race in college football. Doyou think do you think now here's an
important question, possibly a more importantupgrade. Do you think they got better
toilet paper in there now? Doubtful? One fly. We're still on the
single ply toilet paper poverty program.Rip that thing off the wall so it's

(40:00):
spins around about fifty times. Youusually get a massive wad slide it back
there. I don't, but Imean, think about it. You got
a hundred some guys in there whoeat a lot of food, taking a
lot of dumps, a lot ofshit. If you're getting the four ply
like cotton pluff, imagine I wouldI would actually pay money. They're going

(40:20):
to burn the budget just to knowwhat the toilet paper budget was. I
bet we could get that number.If someone listening is on the inside,
please I know we have at leastone manager who sent did I tell you
this, keV? I have thewhereabouts on the on the uh on the
lion? Oh? Yeah, who'sgot it? I don't think a player

(40:42):
currently holds it? What they?No? No, they said. So
this manager DMed me after listening tothe episode that we talked to Mitch king
about. Yeah, and said inmy DMS of the oh, that's gonna
be an all time tragedy if thatfaded from being pasted down. So this
manager was curious and because he hadhe thought he had seen it, and

(41:07):
he's like, so he snapped apick and it. You know where they
would display at the end of thelocker room between the small lockers, like
looking across to Greg and that entryto the locker room. That's where they
would put like the team standings forHawky championship on the on that little board.
Scouting reports during the year, theline was just sitting. It was
just sitting on that like countertop.I was just sitting there. And the

(41:31):
picture it's the lion. It hasthe carvings that I you know, I
recognize the carving. It's the sameline, and I think it just sits
there. I don't know if theyif the passing down got out of style
or they for you know, likeI don't know how it's obviously survived COVID,
but I don't know if the traditions. Well, I'm happy to hear

(41:51):
that's live, but said, Idon't know, or like a lion right.
Oh, by the way, oneof her favorite animal sounds, oh
yeah, bunny rabbit, which doesn'thave a sound. It's just hop pop.
She likes to say, hop uhduck whack quack wack. And then

(42:12):
lion a top three, I coulddo a top yeah, top could do
a top five. Kinley's favorite soundshaven't done top five in a while.
Uh so the Lion's still there anyway. That locker room is unbelievable. I
mean, you gotta compete with Organand all these people who have like every
single person has their own personal coldtub and secret layer. When you open

(42:36):
up their locker and it like there'sa microwave, and I mean, it's
unbelievable. Yeah, man, Ijust, I just I need them to
post the toilet paper upgrade next.That's, oh yeah, the toilet paper.
So here's my thing. What whatthey what we lacked in toilet paper
quality? Or what if they justwhat if they just invested in some mid
days and then you don't like,toilet paper just goes like it just disappears

(42:58):
off the budget. You don't eventrue. Going back to what you said
about a team of over one hundredcollege men who eat and dump a lot,
the toilet quality was high. Thosethings were elite. Those were they
were sturdy, they had they werejet engine toilets. Those things would suck
down a guy's got a gas poweredtoilet, damn near. When those things

(43:20):
flushed, it sounded like a likea like a seven forty seven was taken
off. I mean, never aclog toilet, never, never. So
I don't know, we'll see it. Who knows. Other Hawkeye news,
the NCAA twenty five Top one hundredplayers just came out today. Iowa holds
two, No, four percent ofthe top one hundred with four individual players,

(43:45):
Jay Higgins, that's an expert levelof math out of you there,
clearly. Yeah, I was gonnasay two percent. I don't know why
I said that. Uh, JayHiggins, Sebastian Castro, Xavier Wampa.
Who's the other one, right,Nick Jackson? So our two linebackers and
our two of our DB's. Xavier'sranked the ninety seventh best player, Higgins

(44:10):
the sixteenth, Castro of the thirtyeighth, and I'm not sure what the
other one was. How do wefeel about that sixteenth, sixteenth highest rated
player. He's a damn good linebacker. He's unbelievable in me. If he
was around twenty years ago, he'dprobably be a first or second round draft
pick. Probably. He's that kindof guy. Oh, he's insane in

(44:34):
the box. He is. Heis an unbelievable box player, lovely heel
should be a pretty high draft pick, I think. But, uh,
middle linebacker's falling off in value,and you need to be able to run
with them. Them Getzel running backs, they have out got to run.
Yeah, four players in the topone hundred, though, that's that's pretty
that's pretty cool. We like that. I just in the move, I

(44:58):
now have like a base instead ofit just like catching dirt in my old
dirt and dust in my old office. I there's now like a built in
in my basement where I could setmy Xbox. Of course, i'd have
to buy a new console if Iwant to play this game. I think
you need the new one. Butis it worth? Is it worth it?
Like I don't think I'm I don'tthink I'm gonna do it. How

(45:21):

a lot of options. I toldthem, guys, we're not messing with
the cotton anymore. It's it's Triblendonly. We're doing Triblend t shirts,

(47:10):
so if you buy something off ourwebsite as we can used to phase out
the old like I think we hadlike fifty to fifties polyester cotton or something.
No triblends. This is a highquality operation we're running. Yeah,
I just don't know, Grant.It's there's not a lot of time in
the adult life, the free timethat I have can find sometimes I don't

(47:31):
know. This is this is agenerational moment. We've waited eleven years.
I think the eleven year anniversary ofNCAA fourteen was two days ago. We've
waited so long for this moment,and finally we're being rewarded. It's like
a little teas into the college footballseason two. I mean, I'll be
honest, Grant, I uh,oh boy, this could be this could
be damaging. I don't think Ieven played n CUAA twelve, thirteen or

(47:54):
fourteen. Where were you doing then? Like? What else is there even
to do? So there's this thingcalled World of Tanks. Back when we
said that, doesn't know that didn'tcome out to like fifteen, brother,
it does sound cool. Minecraft.I was big in Minecraft call of duty.

(48:15):
Should we turn this YouTube channel intoa Minecraft. Absolutely, we should
start. We should just pivot andstream. Minecraft. Should just hit one
hour a week, and uh,I think it'd be great. We still
have the dirt House on a modsomewhere. I think the dirt House is

(48:36):
on that freaking Xbox. It's sittingon my basement. Let's go the dirt
House, baby. The dirt Housewas a server that meet Kevin, Miguel
and Miguel's brother played on, andwe had an awesome little compound set up.
It was great. I think bRoss even jumped on there one time.
No, we went to the betterservice when we hopped into I don't

(49:00):
know whose it was originally, butI think I think it was Miguel's,
Marcos and Brady's first, and thenwe don't I jumped into it with them.
I don't know if you ever did. I didn't. Oh, but
I know you guys had one sessionthat was like six hours long into the
early morning one time. Yeah.Oh man, that was some creative minds

(49:21):
among those three. If the chat, if the if the audio chat ever
got leaked of that session, Kevin, Kevin would have more indictments than Trump.
Uh, Finally, on today's episode, Kevin Ward gets married this weekend.
Okay, how about it? Andas you're hearing this, because this

(49:42):
will actually come out next Monday,Kevin Ward is married now unless they got
divorced in the forty eight hours sincethe marriage. It was possible that she
gets cold feet, too. True, It's it's possible that I get murdered
at my wedding dinner. There's alot of things that could happen. Hence
the shirt the north remember, uh, But most likely, as you listen
to this, Kevin war will bea married man. Did it before he

(50:05):
was thirty? Wasn't sure he wasgonna wasn't sure he was gonna sneak that
in there. But the entire allof the expected Benton boys will be married
before thirty years old. Drake obviouslydoesn't even count really as a human in
most conversations. So hey, speakingof ben boys, you see John Wiz
get engaged. I saw it.Yeah, how about it? A bit

(50:27):
of a bit of a three sixtyor one eight from where he was a
few years ago. Uh, whenwe had him on the podcast, he
was just like weeks away from goinginto like ministry, and you know he
was going to, yeah, jointhe Catholic church. He was gonna like
go to the mountains of Peru andI don't know, become a anyway I
catch catch this. So he meetsthis girl I think out in DC.

(51:10):

There was a whole week of stuffto get done. You know this
sometimes this week can be stressful.Yeah. Yeah, there's still some stuff
to get done. You know,still got packed for the honeymoon and all
that stuff. But wedding days takingcare of I'm not bad. Most of
the big stuffs, all take careof, all all the stuff for the

(51:31):
big day is pretty much locked away. It's just show up and do it.
Yeah. Yeah, there's a fewmore small things that you got to
knock off. But yeah, prettymuch pretty much all squared away, ready
to teet up and have a goodtime. Weddings are obviously a big thing
for Kevin Ward. Yep, youexcel in that environment. Yep, you

(51:51):
finally get your pants. Industry hasmade a pretty penny off of me.
The seamstresses out there are just thrivingon weddings that Kevin and tns. Yep,
your own wedding, this is yourown. Yeah. Well, well
will it be a similar outcome?Do you plan to go bigger or are
you gonna hold back a little bitmore to uh similar outcome as in ripped

(52:12):
pants. No, we have upgradedthe pants department. We should have some
good flexibility there. Thank you togreat innovation and capitalism. They they saw
the need and they invested into it, and now they're going to return on
their investment. We have some pantswith a little more give for flex fit.
Some guys who like to get jiggywith it, you know. Okay,
all right, still you know,still gonna still gonna party hard though,

(52:36):
Oh yeah, big time. Okay, Uh well, after the Bachelor
party back a few months ago,I'm excited for potential outcomes on Saturday.
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.We'll say that we're gonna be a clever
speech. At any point, you'regonna feel composed to step to the microphone.
Not not even a little bit.I have nothing to say about Kevin.

(52:58):
Oh, nothing good to say.At least if I was going to
get on the mic, it wouldonly be to make Kevin laugh. And
the things that I would say tomake Kevin laugh are things that I cannot
say in front of ninety nine percentof the attendees of Kevin's wedding. I'll
give you this, man, ifyou if I'm sure my dad will say
a few words the night before atthe rehearsal dinner. You want to you

(53:20):
wanna kind of No, it's notabout me, it's about you. It's
request of the groom. You can'tsay no, say if you want,
if you want to get a fewgiggles out of me there sure trust me,
grant if there is a lineup ofpeople who could make fun speeches,
even within the wedding party, I'mnot even top three, are okay?

(53:43):
Crake, I'll bite Who's top three? Drake Bo Kevin's best man, Brian.
I mean I'm not even top three. I have nothing fun to say.
I am excited to come. Uhit'll be a it'll be a long
weekend because we've got rehearsal, dinner, and we have the wedding, all

(54:07):
of the stuff, Kevin senn Us, the itinerary, All things are falling
into place. But I did,I did think that it might be necessary
that we give Kevin some advice.Oh, so I went to I went
to the I went to the people. I don't like where it's is going.
I went to the people. Thisisn't something crazy, but I just
thought it would be a fun wayto end this episode. I went to

(54:29):
the Discord, which has you know, a wide range of people who have
been married, who haven't, somepeople who have gotten married, gotten divorced,
some younger people, a lot ofpeople in their mid thirties forties.
Life experiences. Thought, hey,let's get some advice for Kevin. Best
marriage advice could be funny or not. Is what I is what I tabbed
it as, and uh, thisshall be getting Yeah, so we're gonna

(54:52):
start with the good and the realadvice. Okay, cool, or at
least what I tabbed is good andreal versus funny and comedic. Twenty four
years married this September. I'm notgoing to give the actual people who gave
this advice, just you know,anonymous and all these twenty four years married
in September. I'd say the bestadvice is that the person you fell in

(55:12):
love with isn't going to be thesame person in ten years or twenty years,
and neither will you. Life isgoing to continue to push you both
in your own individual directions, andthe secret to marriage is being able to
do do the work each day thatkeeps your two directions going in the general
same path. Do the work youcan minimize any drift, and bringing yourself

(55:37):
back together at any time will bemuch easier. Very lovely, lovely,
thank you. Don't give up yourindependent interests, but balance the time spent
and officially she's mostly always right,But pick your battles. And as already
noted, there was a lot ofthis talk. When things are bothering,

(56:00):
you better to have a short blowup fight than something linger for months and
then or years and then it becomesexistential. Here's one as a recent divorcee.
Talk about stuff, no matter whatit is, no matter how big
or small, embarrassing or enraging,talk about it from an empathetic and calm
position. Don't ever bottle things upand then someone put the best advice I've

(56:22):
heard is being angry now is betterthan being resentful later. Take time for
each other, but also take timefor yourself and make sure to go out
of your way to give your spousetime for themselves as well. How do
we feel about all that? It'sall very good advice. Yeah, I
think the time the time thing isis a big thing. I know when
Kevin was basically my significant other incollege and we were spending a lot of

(56:45):
time together, Kevin would disappear andtake them alone time. Yeah, Kevin
needs them alone time for sure.I'm a big alone time guy too,
definitely an introvert at heart, andI get plenty of it because I work
from home, so I don't needand have him you know, uh,
co workers or bosses or really eventhe public. I go to the store

(57:06):
on Mondays and I'm like, Okay, too many, too many old people
in my face. I gotta gottaget back hom But yeah, I think
I think that taking time to yourselfthing is good. And obviously, I
mean it's just like the number onething you gotta you gotta communicate, but
I'm not gonna give you advice.But a lot of people said communicate.
We can move on to the funnystuff now though, which made me better

(57:28):
advice, could be better advice.He's framing it as funny. This is
still the real advice, though itcould be real advice. The first four
responses were these very very short tidbits. Don't The second person who responded just
put co signed, the third personput prenup, and the fourth person put

(57:52):
anal. So, I don't knowif this one's not really advice, that's
just a not really could be advice, could be advice into the wrong situation,
right or wrong situation. Uh,someone put your money is her money,
and her money is her money,and your stuff is her stuff,

(58:15):
and her stuff is her stuff.Yep, yep, yep, yeah,
yep. Familiar with that one withmany of the friends who have gone before
me. Yeah. If she saysquote I just think it's funny, it's
not funny end quote, then youknow you're fucked. Also, when she
gets your tape measure out, youknow you have some bullshit project incoming.

(58:39):
And then she also won't put thegoddamn tate tape measure backward belongs else direction.
I can create my own one ifyou, if you were good,
a different kind of project. Ifshe gets the tape measure out, I
want to don't let her measure anyparts of you. It'll hurt both your

(59:02):
ego and hurs. This is agood one for you, keV. Marriage
is like an eight leg parlay.Oh it's great if it hits, but
you can always try again if itdoesn't work out. I've thrown in a
couple eight leg parlays. I don'tknow if I've hit on one yet.

(59:22):
I don't think i've ever hit aI think the best I've ever hit as
a five. Yeah. Finally marriedfor twenty four years next month. Make
sure you have at least one friendthat does more outrageous shit than you.
My buddy and I serve as thisresource for each other. He goes up
north hunting with his buddies and gettingand gets drunk for a week, while

(59:45):
I fly to the super Bowl withno place to stay or a ticket to
the game. Both of our wivescommiserate, but at the end of the
day, they both appreciate us becausewe aren't as bad as the other guy.
That's pretty good. I think Ithink I think Drake's got me covered
there. I think Bo's got mecovered a little bit there. Well.
And that's it's funny because then theconversation ensued after that piece of advice where

(01:00:07):
several people were like, well,this is where Drake fills that role,
Like yeah, yeah, exactly.No, Drake's the number one draft pick
in that in that regard. Yeah, And I feel like all of the
women of the Benton, you know, they can all they can all just
be like, well, I don'thave as have it as bad as Kaylee.
Yes, yes, so that's good. Uh, shout out to Drake.
You won't listen to this episode,but thanks for shout out to to

(01:00:30):
shout out to Kaylee for just dealingwith that, no doubt. My advice
is that marriage is a lot likethis is me personally, Tyler Klueber.
Marriage is exactly like special teams.You are very rarely going to get the
credit you deserve. I just knowthat you play a very important role.

(01:00:52):
Without you, it could all fallapart. That's beautiful, Cluve, That's
that's really beautiful and I'm serious aboutthat. But no, we're super excited
for for keV Dog. Obviously,I don't know. I know Kevin's got
some extravagant honeymoon planned where he's goingto visit like two hundred countries after this.

(01:01:13):
So one country, one country,one country. How long is this
honeymoon? Long? Nine nights?So ten if you include there's an overnight
flight and are you are you leavingright away Tuesday? Okay, So we
can expect to not have Kevin forat least two weeks, let's see probably

(01:01:36):
three. You're yeah, let's breakout the calendar here. It is the
tenth. I will be out.We will not record the seventeenth. I
would not record the twenty fourth,maybe the thirty first, maybe the thirty
first. We'll be back the thirtyfirst, but it might be a little
bit out of it. Awesome,we'll see you for kickoff, Kevin.
Yeah, have fun. Cool.If we get you back for that last

(01:01:59):
Wednesday night of July, that'd begreat. That's so that's what I was
expecting. I have nothing else.Grant any marriage advice, I as I've
never been married. Uh, andI I don't really have many friends who
are married or get there you'll getBut I think there's like a Dave Chappelle

(01:02:19):
joke where he says, get adog because the dog always love you,
but your wife won't. I thinkyou already have a dog. So you
got that cover. Yeah dog,and I love her? Yeah, love
it great. Well, hopefully thatwas yeah, hopefully that was a fun
episode for y'all. We're gonna havesome fun this week and at Kevin's wedding

the Patreon wall. We'll be here. Grant, I've got some ideas for
some fun episodes to for the nextcouple of weeks. Oh, kind of
some stuff that Drake and Drake wouldnever do because he thinks they're way too
cheesy. And Kevin it's hard toget him excited for like some of those
episodes where it's like the Okay,we're going to talk about that. We're

(01:03:01):
going to rank the twelve most importantgames of this season. Oh, we're

(01:03:23):
bad like Kent State I think haslike six of the first ten. How
