00:00:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
what is up welcome to the next guy up podcast today we have a lot going on we have our second to last our penultimate college football ranking release to talk about uh we will there's been some heat over this one a lot of people did not like some of the results and so we will get into some of those things here in a second we also
00:00:23
Mason
Hmm.
00:00:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, we've got some other stuff to talk about, uh, even into some today, actually, as we record is national signing day. I don't know how much national signing day we're going to do, but it's happening today.
00:00:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, we're not deep into the recruiting stuff as much. Mason and tens are deep into the, uh, the draft talk. College recruiting is like, if you actually want to keep up with it, it's like a full-time job.
00:01:01
Mason
You know what?
00:01:05
Mason
Yeah, it really does seem like that.
00:01:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
College high school recruiting is in the portal coverage is insanity. So I'm not sure that we have the juice to cover that today, but Yeah, look it up Yeah, we shot it we gotta get a guy to go watch the high school games
00:01:16
Mason
Maybe we should, uh, move some next guy up podcast funds around and send us to some high school games and look at some of these top recruits, you know, fly us out there.
00:01:28
Mason
So if you're an intern that, uh, needs some college
Joe Burrow's Batmobile Adventure
00:01:31
Mason
credit, but not mean and we cannot pay for anything. So always hungry.
00:01:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we cannot pay for travel or salary We have
00:01:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
some food for thought today we got some press releases we got a lot to cover today big there's a big week in college football for sure um we all knew this was coming but ah we have a final spot well let's get to college football in a second before we get there something more important happened in the world Joe Burrow decided
00:01:46
Mason
Mm-hmm. What to cover.
00:02:03
Mason
Way more important. Hmm.
00:02:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that he was going to buy a Batmobile for $3 million. dollars This Batmobile apparently has 525 horsepower.
00:02:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It weighs 5,500 pounds, imitation gun turrets, and a smokescreen delivery system. There are only 10 of them in the world.
00:02:34
Mason
Saw that.
00:02:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He owns one.
00:02:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm gonna go on record and say this is cooler than owning like a 3 million dollar sports car Like there's a lot of 3 million dollar sports cars in the world Rolling around in this thing would be dope Have a couple questions one
00:02:44
Mason
For sure. Now, is this. Is this street legal though? Could you just like take it out on a, get it out on the streets? I'm sure if you're Joe Burrow and you're like, Hey man, I mean, ah he said something about driving it into a game.
00:03:05
Mason
One day. Yes. Let's shoot them.
00:03:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who's doing maintenance on this thing? like Who's changing the oil?
00:03:12
Mason
Can't just take that to your for dealership.
00:03:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who's he's changing the oil on the Batmobile?
00:03:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If you like get a flat tire on the side of the road, is AAA going to come and like change it? Is there a spare tire?
00:03:27
Mason
That's a great question.
00:03:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Can you just pop the hood?
00:03:28
Mason
These are questions that need be asked.
00:03:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's got to be like a base car.
00:03:32
Mason
Is it bulletproof?
00:03:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i don't Yeah. If the Cybertruck's Bulletproofer and made us think Bulletproof 2, does the little, ah if you look at a picture of it, it looks just like the one from The Dark Knight.
00:03:36
Mason
What? Mm hmm.
00:03:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Could the little, I forget what they call it, the little motorcycle pop out of it, like in The Dark Knight? Would be electric.
00:03:53
Mason
So it would be if there's 10 of these, did they need all 10 for the movies? I'm assuming.
00:03:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I think these are not like movie props.
00:04:01
Mason
So they weren't even OK.
00:04:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These are like actual vehicles. that were produced for people to buy.
00:04:08
Mason
and there's only 10 of them.
00:04:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Actually, I know that a lot of the movie, I've done i've just watched some some like shorts about this and stuff, but in the movie, a lot of the stunts were actually done with smaller versions of the car, like they're like one third size of real cars.
00:04:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So they're much larger than just like a model car, but
00:04:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're not anywhere near the base so they could film it and they could build an entire like soundstage that's a little bit smaller to record stuff is they don't have to build it to full size.
00:04:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pretty crazy.
00:04:38
Mason
Gotcha.
00:04:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've watched some videos. You should watch it on look up on YouTube like Dark Knight filming Batmobile scenes because it's pretty wild. Like the one where they're in the in the garage and they're going the garbage truck and the Batmobile are going towards each other.
00:04:51
Mason
Yeah,
00:04:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it goes underneath it. That's like done on a tiny, like model stage. It's pretty cool. Uh, but anyways, uh, Jill Berner owns a Batmobile.
00:05:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, it got me thinking about, sorry, what'd you gonna say?
00:05:05
Mason
yeah I saw Yeah, go ahead. I was just going to say, I saw a clip of it on hard knocks where he said he will get it in a year. So I'm like, are they just now?
00:05:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
custom building it for a year.
00:05:17
Mason
Are they? Yeah, possibly.
00:05:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. It does say fully functional, but not street legal. I'm not saying this. Um, so question, that's actually much lamer.
00:05:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, I mean, you could, it's not like built for off-road probably.
00:05:29
Mason
What do you do with a non illegal car?
00:05:33
Mason
You just park that sucker in your garage, put it in the middle of your living room.
00:05:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's a good question.
00:05:38
Mason
That's a talking piece when you invite guests over.
00:05:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's much less cool.
00:05:41
Mason
It's just, yeah.
Extravagant Spending Fantasies
00:05:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But what are you gonna do? Like pull over Batmobile? You can get like a police escort places if you want to.
00:05:48
Mason
I guess. Yeah.
00:05:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know, now they missed the playoffs officially.
00:05:54
Mason
Okay. That's true.
00:05:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe not anymore in Cincinnati. So the question is, if you, let's say i was I gave you three million dollars and said, you are not allowed to spend this on anything reasonable.
00:06:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like this cannot be spent on your house or like put it into savings or investing. Like this has to be used for something crazy.
00:06:18
Mason
Ridiculous.
00:06:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What, what are you picking?
00:06:24
Mason
So I have thought of this and it did not take me long because so I didn't know that I guess it's not a house. So this is like a structure.
00:06:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. Okay.
00:06:36
Mason
And I don't know if you know who this person, because I'm just a little bit older than you. So you probably weren't watching like MTV, but Rob Dyrdek, he had Ridiculousness TV show.
00:06:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:06:46
Mason
He also had ah Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory.
00:06:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fantasy Factory.
00:06:49
Mason
And i so I watched a little bit of it, didn' but apparently there's like seven seasons, but he had a
00:06:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:56
Mason
25,000 square foot complex and this thing is like skating park with like a rock wall a foam What would you call that like?
00:07:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thump it.
00:07:06
Mason
a They had like trampolines foam pit Anything that you could think of in this thing also a newer version of that would be dude perfect Dude perfect has just like a it's it's basically just like a play like a playground for adults of just like
00:07:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:26
Mason
you know, skate park, things that you can do. Just, I feel like I'd be probably more fit and more entertained if I had ah something like that.
00:07:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:36
Mason
It'd be pretty cool, right? look ah Look up like next guy up, or, well, the next guy up should have something like that.
00:07:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, for sure.
00:07:41
Mason
Look up, I just forgot, do perfects, like, set up.
00:07:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's very cool.
00:07:47
Mason
And tell me, and the next guy up need to move some funds around and get some, I don't know if that would cost $3 million. So it seems like that would cost a little more. So I'm probably breaking the bank, but.
00:07:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
probably I mean, if you're building the whole like warehouse or whatever. Yeah, I was thinking it's along the same lines, honestly, I think. um Like a basketball court, but I also would do like a huge movie theater is kind of where I think I would break my bank.
00:08:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I would do a big theater room with some like dope seats, have some movie memorabilia around, like a really nice projector and like make it fire, like sound system.
00:08:15
Mason
That'd be pretty cool.
00:08:29
Mason
That would be cool.
00:08:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think that would be awesome.
00:08:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And, but I also would like a basketball court, um like a little indoor gym would be sweet. That might, I mean, that's a little more functional, but building a ah gym with like a basketball court and stuff would be pretty awesome.
00:08:32
Mason
um
00:08:44
Mason
I was going to say.
00:08:51
Mason
So we kind of had similarities there. Was it your bachelor party that we went to a paintball, ah did the paintball?
00:09:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
you Yes, actually, it was.
00:09:04
Mason
It'd be so cool to have something like that set up as well. That's irresponsible. That's something that's pointless and not functional. Just like a whole a war scene paintball set up in your backyard.
00:09:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
payball Okay, something else that would be cool.
00:09:18
Mason
Yes, we're just.
00:09:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
An underground bunker.
00:09:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, that would be sick.
00:09:24
Mason
yeah
00:09:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, just have underneath your house have stairs that just lead down there. And that's functional, but also just kind of cool. Like it can be functional because obviously you can use it for stuff, but having it where you could just go down there at any time and you're a little under the ground. That'd be sick.
00:09:42
Mason
Or you see these videos of like people that you see in the movies and stuff of like the secret lair, the man cave, where you just like pull a book and like, uh, that would be pretty, that's not functional.
00:09:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:52
Mason
You don't need that, but we three mil.
00:09:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like you pull it, but it's like a spiral staircase down and you just have like a secret room under the ground.
00:09:56
Mason
Yes.
00:09:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That'd be awesome.
00:10:00
Mason
We're cooking on some ideas here.
00:10:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's something there, probably.
00:10:02
Mason
Three mil. That's way better than a Batmobile that you can't even drive on the road. That's my street legal.
00:10:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, those things are at least, like, reasonable, sort of.
00:10:14
Mason
It takes you a point A to point B.
00:10:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Am I reasonable?
00:10:18
Mason
Yeah. Oh, I thought you were talking about the Batmobile. That's probably more responsible than what we picked out.
00:10:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah No, definitely not.
00:10:25
Mason
Ours is leisurely.
00:10:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ten said he would buy his own Taco Bell franchise so he can have free Taco Bell whenever he wants.
00:10:26
Mason
Well.
00:10:29
Mason
Yes. I was also going to bring that up because, uh, have you seen the Devontae or the Taco Bell commercial that has Devontae Adams in it? And it's like him just chilling in his house and he just walks to the kitchen and there's a pickup window and it's like the Taco Bell sign.
00:10:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, that's awesome.
00:10:47
Mason
Oh, well they have something like that. And I'm like, that's, I imagine like just going over, hang out at Tinsley's and he has a Taco Bell window and I can just pick up my, my, uh, Mexican pizza
00:10:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:10:59
Mason
or my quesadilla, the chalupa, chalupas of that, yeah. Gotta have a chalupa.
00:11:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, I have one other thing.
00:11:05
Mason
Okay, fun little workshop there.
00:11:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I have one other thing.
00:11:07
Mason
Do what? Yes.
00:11:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah So I've ah um've been watching a good bit of Jeopardy recently.
00:11:13
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:11:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, Megan, my
Game Show Ambitions
00:11:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
wife likes to have the news on in the afternoons. And then if you wait long enough, Jeopardy! comes on eventually after Wheel of Fortune. Her life's very exciting. And Jeopardy! is fun. It's, it's, I like, I'm not super good at it, but I watch enough and I know enough to get some questions right and stuff. So it's fun. Um, if there was one game show you could go on that you feel like you could actually win money on, what would it be?
00:11:46
Mason
Uh, so I don't know if I'd actually win, but I think I'd have a good attempt. Well, I don't know. Everybody's probably probably would laugh at me. I feel like if I did some training, I love obstacle courses.
00:11:57
Mason
Like I think ninja warrior and those guys are freaks on there.
00:11:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:12:01
Mason
Don't get me wrong. It's way harder than it probably actually looks.
00:12:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You could train, though.
00:12:05
Mason
Yeah. I feel like that would be something definitely not jeopardy ever.
00:12:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Everybody on their trains pretty hard, I think.
00:12:10
Mason
No, I could not do jeopardy.
00:12:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jeopardy's hard. No, that's like a very set amount of people can actually compete on their.
00:12:15
Mason
And you brought up will fortune. I'm not even, I can't, I look at this and I'm like, what, how'd you, how'd you get that? Like I'm, I never answer it first.
00:12:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wheel of Fortune is the least is the lowest IQ game show.
00:12:26
Mason
You think so?
00:12:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Definitely Well, yeah, those are physical I guess wheel of fortune is basically just like It's like a good bit of luck.
00:12:29
Mason
Well, it it depends on the game show. Cause I was even thinking like wipeout would be funny. Wipeout is like, yeah.
00:12:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then just do you have any amount of common sense in your body?
00:12:47
Mason
Well, apparently I have none because I'm really bad at it.
00:12:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A Lot of people don't I mean You're just spinning a wheel and then it's landing somewhere so like there's no skill involved in that
00:12:57
Mason
I got one that's less skilled than that. They don't have it anymore, but deal or no deal.
00:13:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:13:02
Mason
That was just randomizing, like picking cases.
00:13:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That is true.
00:13:05
Mason
Yes, there was a point where the banker and you had to like do odds versus like what you should accept to what if you should keep pulling cases, but
00:13:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:14
Mason
It's kind of just by random, you're just picking one.
00:13:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, it's game blind for sure.
00:13:17
Mason
I choose my mind. We've talked about this before. Well, I think Tinsley would still be better at this than me, but survivor. I think this is more of, I don't know if I could actually win, but I would want to try these.
00:13:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's like a reality show.
00:13:29
Mason
Yeah, that's not game show, I guess.
00:13:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But Survivor would be fun.
00:13:31
Mason
You're right.
00:13:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I think.
00:13:34
Mason
What was yours?
00:13:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Survivor would be cool. I don't know. I saw a game show and it was it was like I think it was called The Grid. Have you seen this?
00:13:46
Mason
I have not.
00:13:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Is it actually called that? they were They were all like in a grid and then you had to compete with each other and basically they would show like a bunch of pictures and you had to name what it was in different categories. Each person had a category assigned to them and then like something you were considered yourself an expert in and somebody would have to challenge you and you'd have to go back and forth naming off like what's on the screen and the longer you take the more your time runs out.
00:14:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so the last person with time left gets to, gets to stay and then go challenge someone else.
00:14:18
Mason
Hmm, okay.
00:14:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Let me make sure what it's called. um I think it's called the grid or something like that.
00:14:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's probably newer, but it was actually kind of cool. Oh, definitely not called the grid The floor it's called the floor.
00:14:34
Mason
We're doing good. The floor, I just saw this on here.
00:14:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sorry Yep The floor is Yep, that's it cool.
00:14:42
Mason
Okay, that's pretty cool.
00:14:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's fun though. It was better than I like watching an episode on accident kind of and it was better than I thought it was gonna be Rob Lowe is the host.
00:14:53
Mason
Is that Rob Lowe?
00:14:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's correct.
00:14:56
Mason
Yep. So I just put in a list of game shows.
00:14:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I I can be good at that.
00:15:02
Mason
The price is right.
00:15:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Okay.
00:15:05
Mason
Well fortune, family feud, deal or no deal. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Fear factor.
00:15:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can do good at that. I think probably.
00:15:13
Mason
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
00:15:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:15
Mason
You were a teacher for a little bit, so you probably have.
00:15:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
True.
00:15:19
Mason
The floor is on here. I don't know if the bachelor. I don't. That's not considered like what we're talking about. That's more reality. Is it cake?
00:15:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep. That's the dumbest of them. That's actually less IQ than Wheel of Fortune.
00:15:34
Mason
Survivor, of the amazing race is a cake, though.
00:15:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Amazing Race is one that I always thought would be fun. Um, we used to watch it and I always thought it would be a fun time. You have to travel the world.
00:15:45
Mason
Travel, yeah, you get to do do and see things.
00:15:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know if I could use some of the like eating challenges and things, but to be fun.
00:15:49
Mason
Yeah. Fear factor would not be fun. Or did you pick one that you had the most probability of winning?
00:15:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um.
00:16:00
Mason
Because we picked some that we just enjoy doing.
00:16:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Of winning.
00:16:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know. That is a good question. I didn't actually flesh out the answer to it before I said it. Maybe it is.
00:16:14
Mason
That was your question.
00:16:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Or. yes or Yeah.
00:16:17
Mason
The floor. Okay.
00:16:22
Mason
All right. Well, and that was a, that was a nice little exercise there. While we're, uh, in like the shows, movies, let's, uh, and I know we've talked about this quite a bit.
00:16:34
Mason
But ah Gladiator 2 has been in the news once again. It is officially, did this shock you Zach at all? It is officially the highest grossing film of Denzel Washington's career.
00:16:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:16:49
Mason
Does that shock you?
00:16:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, I was saying a lot. He's been in some big time movies.
00:16:54
Mason
So it had me, and you saw a list. Let me know if this not doesn't, because I had to look it up. I did not just like come across this on social media. So let me know if this doesn't line with yours.
00:17:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
List.
00:17:03
Mason
I've i've never seen this movie, but ah his second highest would be American Gangster,
00:17:14
Mason
Safe House, Philadelphia, The Pelican Brief, The Equalizer, that i was shocked to see that went so far down so um let's see i'm not seeing inside man deja vu unstoppable and flight so those were the top 10 book of eli did not make the list i have seen that but i was shocked remember the titans also did not make it into the top 10 that wasn't uh that was from
00:17:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Rip. That's wild. Deja Vu is a pretty good movie. I like Deja Vu.
00:17:50
Mason
Remember the Titans number 14 at 137 deja vu. I'm not saying so should I put that on my list?
00:17:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's good. Yeah.
00:17:58
Mason
It was a seventh.
00:18:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I like the equal. I recently watched all the equal other movies and they're very good. Very good.
00:18:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I am.
00:18:07
Mason
So
Movie Box Office Records
00:18:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I am excited for the movie. I still would like to see it. It's pretty shocking that it shot up to number one, because I've not even heard a lot of good. I've not got to watch it yet, but I've heard it's kind of mediocre in some ways.
00:18:08
Mason
top of the list.
00:18:16
Mason
Yeah.
00:18:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've heard the action is really good. So Mason will probably love it.
00:18:24
Mason
I'm here for it.
00:18:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've heard some of the plot and dialogue are a little bit less so, but.
00:18:26
Mason
No.
00:18:33
Mason
Well, I think it was just kind of a sequel money grab, if you ask me, but I'm sure it's still good. So I don't know if the. Some of the playwriting, one last thing i I saw this, did you see, speaking of movies and we've talked about this as well, Moana to.
00:18:53
Mason
Sales higher than the so the the it's breaking records over like the opening for Thanksgiving everything ah Number one box office opening for Moana to and red one in the same month so the rock who knew having a having a heck of a heck out of a weekend there.
00:19:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The red one? That looks pretty bad.
00:19:15
Mason
Oh Have you not seen this?
00:19:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've seen trailers for it and stuff, but it did not look very good.
00:19:22
Mason
highest Thanksgiving weekend of all time, wanted to 225 million.
00:19:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I believe that. Moana is a sensation. I've also heard the the songs on Moana are very good, though.
00:19:34
Mason
Hmm.
00:19:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She got tanned on here to talk about it because he watched it, I think.
00:19:34
Mason
Hot take.
00:19:38
Mason
Maybe, uh, next
00:19:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
McDonald's Around the World
00:19:39
Mason
time he's on here.
00:19:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, we need to get his review.
00:19:41
Mason
So, ah so that was our, uh, movie update on there.
00:19:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
For sure.
00:19:46
Mason
Uh, you had some McDonald news I want to, I want to hear about.
00:19:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I do. Um, so there is a guy, he is named Gary. He traveled to 100 McDonald's globally to find a bunch of crazy locations. Uh, it's called the Mick Atlas, the Mick Atlas. Uh, he just tried to find some of the most obscure McDonald's with some of the most interesting unique. Um, he found a couple of that he called his favorites.
00:20:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
One is called the mix ski in Sweden. He said it took six hours to get there. ah But it's like on top of a mountain. It's like at a ski resort. So that's pretty cool. He found one. There was there's one in China that he really liked.
00:20:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um It's apparently really big and it's like in this very cool looking. ah ancient Chinese street, so that's pretty cool.
00:20:45
Mason
Hmm.
00:20:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah There is one in an airplane in New Zealand.
00:20:52
Mason
Huh.
00:20:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There is a McDonald's that ship like a UFO in New Mexico, kind of that Area 51 vibe. And there is one in this huge like house, it looks like the White House kind of um in Brazil, Sao Paulo.
00:21:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So there's some pretty cool ones out there. This is ah seems like a very cool book, actually. I would like to visit some of these locations.
00:21:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Trying to travel the world just to go to McDonald's is kind of up my alley, so.
00:21:22
Mason
yeah we're we're ah Yeah, when you brought this up, I was kind of interested in buying ah buying this book, to be honest.
00:21:32
Mason
it doesn't Yes, The Atlas.
00:21:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
atlas go but The
00:21:35
Mason
We should get this guy on the pod. Uh, interview, every interview, him ourselves tends to listen out here to just DM them while we're on the pod, but maybe we could do that next time. But, uh, I'm very interested
Grinch Happy Meal in Canada
00:21:47
Mason
in that.
00:21:47
Mason
Speaking of McDonald's. Did you have anything else for that?
00:21:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know.
00:21:50
Mason
Cause I was going to talk about another holiday McDonald's thing going on.
00:21:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're good? Hit it.
00:21:58
Mason
The Grinch, uh, happy meal. Is it officially called cause I thought you said it was the McGrinch earlier, but I don't even see that on here.
00:22:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, I don't know. Maybe I made that up.
00:22:08
Mason
Oh, but the Grinch has taken over with a Happy Meal box. It's literally what you think it's the traditional Happy Meal box with like Grinch and the Christmas hat on.
00:22:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ooh, that's cool.
00:22:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like
00:22:19
Mason
um Here's the thing though, I have a little bit of bone to pick with ah McDonald's in America.
00:22:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ooh.
00:22:27
Mason
So you got the box. The Grinchmas plushies and games with Grinch and Max plushies and three different card games. there There's also a 12 days of Grinchmas. Explore 12 days of Grinchmas with a Grinch, a book, and then they have like coloring book stuff. ah so my eyes So how I came across this, I actually found on social media. um It was in Canada.
00:22:59
Mason
They have a Grinch meal.
00:23:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh
00:23:02
Mason
Get this. It comes with Grinch socks. Okay, that's kind of the lame part.
00:23:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I like some gunshot, please.
00:23:06
Mason
Who wants a Grinch socks for their Happy Meal? But kids probably don't want socks, but this is the part that I was interested in. Dill pickle McShaker, so it's like a seasoning, dill pickle seasoning to go on your fries.
00:23:22
Mason
and a And also a frozen hot chocolate McFlurry, which if you see the picture, which nobody can see except for Zach, is literally what you would think.
00:23:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:23:33
Mason
It's a McFlurry with like the little tiny marshmallows with like a chocolate vanilla ah and swirl in it.
00:23:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I need that.
00:23:41
Mason
So I'm just wondering why Canada gets that and why we don't. That's what I'm mad about.
00:23:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I will say I've been to McDonald's in Canada, and it was much better than us.
00:23:48
Mason
We get little plush toys. Yes.
00:23:53
Mason
Much better.
00:23:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not even joking.
00:23:56
Mason
So this is not much better.
00:23:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like some other stuff is much better.
00:24:00
Mason
And I'm sorry, i that was a kid's mill in the US. and This looks like it's ah like it's literally a choice of a Big Mac or 10 piece McNuggets and then the Fry. So this is like an adult, like it comes in a box still with the socks, but it's like not a kid's mill with toys.
00:24:17
Mason
That's probably why they get the socks instead of...
00:24:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. I like that make it for adults question probably but Make atlas we'll get a review on it
00:24:22
Mason
So way better in Canada. So the US just needs to step up there. It was the the Atlas. I wonder if it talked about any Canada, canada Canadian, McDonald's. Maybe we should buy this thing. Or we just interview them ourselves, like I said.
00:24:42
Mason
But in or out on the dill pickle
Future Bowl Sponsorships
00:24:44
Mason
season, it's like it's literally just like the, you're out.
00:24:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think I'm out. I'm not a huge pickle person.
00:24:49
Mason
Oh yeah, we've talked about this, yeah.
00:24:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Unfortunately, yeah. Not a huge pickle guy.
00:24:53
Mason
Unfortunately.
00:24:55
Mason
So let's talk about the next food for thought that's going to transition into college football perfectly.
00:25:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Love it.
00:25:03
Mason
And that would be the good old Pop-Tart.
00:25:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:25:09
Mason
Yep. We've talked about this in the past a little bit, right?
00:25:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, we did.
00:25:12
Mason
We were trying to figure out what, yeah, I didn't, I didn't, I hope I didn't threw you throw you a curve ball here with the, uh, but I wanted to talk about this cause we were guessing.
00:25:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We had a little segment on it.
00:25:21
Mason
I don't, do you remember what you picked?
00:25:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We did.
00:25:24
Mason
We were trying to guess what the flavor would have been.
00:25:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh boy, I don't remember.
00:25:29
Mason
And the, uh, 10 or Zach sent it this morning and I was like, I would eat that a hundred percent.
00:25:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yup.
00:25:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've never heard of it, but it sounds great.
00:25:40
Mason
And the flavor was drum roll.
00:25:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So two of them are a hot fudge sundae, frosted wild berry, where they already announced ones. The new one that's said previously, it was discontinued at some point was frosted cinnamon roll.
00:25:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Frosted cinnamon roll. So pretty excited about that. That's actually, I hope that if they bring it back, maybe we should eat some on the pod live. We'll have a Pop-Tart.
00:26:07
Mason
We should do that.
00:26:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Personally.
00:26:09
Mason
So with the the Pop-Tart, they are gonna have three life-size Pop-Tarts out there for the bowl game, right?
00:26:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:26:17
Mason
And then and then does somebody, and the winners like eat the Pop-Tart or something?
00:26:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, there's like, ah there's like a big thing at the end of the game where the Pop-Tart goes into this humongous toaster. And then when it comes out, it's like a real giant Pop-Tart.
00:26:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then the players all eat it and who win.
00:26:38
Mason
Can I make a prediction here?
00:26:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:41
Mason
There's so much money wrapped up in all of this advertisement. And so here's the thing, we talk about this, the mayo bowl, that's ah like a thing. ah There's like some weird cheese it, people throwing cheese it.
00:26:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:26:53
Mason
And you see these highlights all the time. and i'm just like i don't i think we've opened a can of worms where now every food industry or anything just weird is going to get into these bowl games and they're going to have some type of crazy celebration where uh they're like i don't know nutella or some type of random i i couldn't even tell you like bacon like just something random with food where people like players the winner eats this random thing at the end i did oscar myer oscar myer's like here let's let's just bacon oscar myer's like here let's advertise our bacon i was just trying to think of the most random thing like like some brand cereal now we're shooting like checks mix or checks out or
00:27:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
la
00:27:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Big bacon has not even like a brand you just want bacon like who's even sponsoring? This bacon
00:27:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This This bowl is sponsored by hamburgers Yeah I like the idea of it being sponsored by like not an actual company, but just like a thing
00:27:48
Mason
hamburger No, like Cheerios is like shooting Cheerios out of a cannon or something. I just feel like we're gonna get ridiculous I'm waiting for the time where there's just like Lunchables being like dropped from the sky like a plane like literally flies over the field and drops Lunchables out of the sky Mac and cheese
00:28:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This, yeah, this bowl is sponsored by cereal.
00:28:17
Mason
Sponsored by a ham sandwich.
00:28:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it's like, who's even paying for this? I just
00:28:27
Mason
I'm here for it.
00:28:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
wanted to name. Yeah.
00:28:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What if it was like named after just a person?
00:28:32
Mason
Bacon.
00:28:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like they didn't even want, like it was the Elon Musk bowl.
00:28:36
Mason
See, I was wondering if Jake Paul would do something like that. He's got enough money where he would just be like, name this bowl after me.
00:28:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, They could definitely do it for like one of their properties. Like the like the Mr. Beast, like the lunchlies or whatever.
00:28:49
Mason
Yeah.
00:28:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ever That would not surprise me.
00:28:50
Mason
Yeah.
00:28:52
Mason
And then all of a sudden you have some type of ridiculous, like, lunchable thing happening with the players.
00:28:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Or like Dude Perfect Bowl.
00:29:00
Mason
There you go. Now we're cooking.
00:29:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think Barstool used to sponsor one.
00:29:01
Mason
Oh, we brought. If you had do us talking about Dude Perfect, like three times on this podcast on your bingo card, you can go ahead and mark all those off.
00:29:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's it.
00:29:11
Mason
Yeah. Okay. So let's, I wanted to say plenty of time because I know you got some takes.
00:29:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yes
00:29:17
Mason
for college football.
College Football Playoff Biases
00:29:19
Mason
So how do you wanna start this? Do you wanna start with the games? Do you wanna start with your overall reaction of the the the playoff standings right now?
00:29:28
Mason
What do you wanna do?
00:29:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, we should probably do some playoff talk um we We did a little bit of pre-talk on Mondays episode, but now we know Now we know the committees are cowards Biased
00:29:33
Mason
Let's do the playoff top talk. Yeah.
00:29:42
Mason
Mm, coward.
00:29:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We we don't We don't have to do that whole thing here. I think everyone else has already done it. We all know the committee kind of sucks um We know this is always gonna be a mess no matter what happened. But here we are in the midst of it and So we can talk about it a little bit um The rankings just quickly Let's not even get to the rankings because I think the matchups are more interesting here
00:29:57
Mason
Mm hmm.
00:30:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:30:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There are a couple of intriguing things to still work out, but a lot of the a lot of the mess has been worked out now.
00:30:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
In reality, there's there's two things that have to get cleaned up, and then we're pretty much good.
00:30:23
Mason
OK.
00:30:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And they both revolve around the same idea. Here's the idea. Will teams who lose their conference championship games be penalized in any way?
00:30:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's that's the crux of our problem here. Um, if the answer is no, did this is, I mean, then your field is set pretty much, you know, uh, if Boise state loses, then obviously, um, the winner of the big 12 will jump up into the, into that slot and UNLV will take the 12th seed.
00:31:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Other than that though, we're pretty much set. Now the chaos could happen if the committee decides that they have some liberties to move around people who lose their conference championship games.
00:31:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The biggest question mark is SMU.
00:31:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What happens to an SMU team that loses their ACC championship game to Clemson?
00:31:19
Mason
Hmm.
00:31:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right now they're slotted in at um I believe they're they're at number eight currently on the list. They are at eight. That is true. So what happens if they lose? Do they drop down below Alabama? and Or do they take did they kick Alabama down while Clemson moves up into those into one of those top four slots?
00:31:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know the answer to this. I've heard a lot of good arguments both ways. I've heard a lot of people um say things like, you should not get punished for playing a commerce championship game or no one's ever going to want to play in them. It's not, it's unfair to the teams who um get their, get the.
00:32:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
get to play in those games, if you say you win, you get a bye, if you lose, you're gonna drop out. I think most teams would rather just not play in that game.
00:32:25
Mason
Yeah.
00:32:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so there's a pretty big question mark here of what's gonna happen, or is there an exception for say the loser of the big 10 and the loser of the SEC? Will they, just because of the conference they're in, not drop while they do drop someone like SMU?
00:32:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It almost feels like they have to make a choice in that situation, or they're gonna drop all of them or drop none of them at all. I think it's pretty unfair to say, I'm sorry, SMU, you're dropping out while the loser of the SEC championship just stays where they are at.
00:32:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Same with the Big Ten.
00:32:58
Mason
But also you're looking at teams that aren't even playing such as like a Tennessee and they could benefit if they decide to drop people, they could benefit by just having the weekend off and people are going to say, is that fair or not?
00:33:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Correct.
00:33:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Definitely.
00:33:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
which is Which historically, this has been true, right?
00:33:13
Mason
And.
00:33:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We've seen teams lose conference championship games and then get penalized for it, having an extra loss. I mean, we saw Georgia lose the SEC championship game a couple of seasons ago, and Alabama jumped them for that.
00:33:22
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:33:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A a one-loss Bama jumped a zero-loss regular season in Georgia after they beat them in the SEC championship. So we know that that's possible. ah They have precedent to do this.
00:33:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
this in my opinion if they do it i think it will be the end of conference championships i think next year why would anyone want to play in them i i don't get it but uh there is a good bit at line on on the line here especially with I mentioned SMU.
00:33:58
Mason
Bye.
00:34:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If they win, things become a lot easier for the committee. The committee has now determined, which is this is the piece that's been hotly debated all week, is who is going to get in between Alabama, Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina.
00:34:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The committee made their choice. They said Bama was the best out of those four. And so that means, effectively, Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina are eliminated. They're done. Their season will be, is finished.
00:34:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um.
00:34:28
Mason
I saw the the odds makers for the books had Alabama just slightly, but they were at plus like 110. They were plus money to get in.
00:34:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:41
Mason
And then it moved in like a three day span. Obviously now it's like huge minus money. Like they're favored obviously with the movement, but a lot of people didn't think before we had this clarity that they were going to get in.
00:34:55
Mason
According to the, the, the sports books, at least let me, let me go look real quick.
00:34:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Do you know what the odds are right now? Because that would even be pretty interesting to see what people were thinking they were going to happen. um The most interesting situation here is SMU loses, and then there's going to be some chaos erupt around the committee. They're going to have to make a choice. um ah So that's the other piece of injury here is around the last um the last hosting spot, the eighth seed.
00:35:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah The committee chose to put Ohio State over Tennessee, ah despite their records being pretty, or their resumes being pretty similar, and Ohio State dropping to Michigan at home as a 21-point favorite. As it stands, the team's hosting would be Ohio State and Columbus, Penn State and Happy Valley, Notre Dame, and ah the fourth team that would be hosting is the Loser of Texas, Georgia, which they're predicting to be Georgia's because of the ranking is lower.
00:35:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So it would be in Athens So here's the thing that's pretty disturbing to me um because What is SMU chance do you do you have an SMU number?
00:35:59
Mason
Alabama's minus 390 to make the college football playoff.
00:36:12
Mason
SMU is minus 400.
00:36:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See they both can't make it
00:36:17
Mason
So even better odds.
00:36:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Both those teams aren't going to go.
00:36:21
Mason
So so if that's the thing, wouldn't you be better off?
00:36:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, I guess they you know they both they both could go if SMU wins, then Alabama's in.
00:36:25
Mason
No is plus.
00:36:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So I guess they're basically saying it's the SMU is minus 400 to be Clemson.
00:36:37
Mason
Because I was going to say it's plus two seventy five for Alabama not to make it and plus two eighty for SMU not to make it. Let me go see what SMU's odds are.
00:36:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm asking you for lots of odds here. What is yeah, what's the odds for SMU to be Clemson?
00:36:53
Mason
Hold on, I'm looking. Is that game on Saturday? Uh, Saturday night at 7 PM. Uh, it's plus or it's minus one 35 for them to be Clemson.
00:37:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, so that's crazy to me. This is crazy talk.
00:37:11
Mason
Crazy talk.
00:37:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These numbers don't make sense, right? Because SMU, SMU's minus 135 to win the game.
00:37:15
Mason
If you're doing the math the way you saw it. Yes, go ahead.
00:37:21
Mason
Yep.
00:37:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But they're minus 400 to make the playoffs.
00:37:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If they lose the game, then either SMU or Bama is getting is getting kicked out.
00:37:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So the fact that they're only minus 135 to win, but then the odds of both making it are like minus 400 each don't really compute to me.
00:37:42
Mason
This makes me want to take plus money on everything plus one 14 to Clemson a win and plus like the 300 for neither team to make it.
00:37:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
For neither team to make it.
00:37:53
Mason
Like for but ah like just bet both.
00:37:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, and both.
00:37:55
Mason
Uh, yeah, just, does that make sense? So bet no for Alabama plus two 75 and bet no for SMU, not to make out plus two 80. Cause if at least one doesn't make it, then you still made money.
00:38:09
Mason
If you bet $10 on both, you risked 20 bucks, but your lowest amount to win is $37. So then your profit is 17 bucks.
00:38:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm. Hmm.
00:38:22
Mason
If at least one of them doesn't make it.
00:38:25
Mason
Does that make sense?
00:38:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So you're basically just betting on SMU losing to Clemson.
00:38:31
Mason
Correct. But that's better than taking Clemson plus 135.
00:38:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:38:39
Mason
Cause does that make sense?
00:38:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
mean There is a reality where smu wins and then ah smu and bama both get in and that's the most likely scenario, right? That's minus 135 to happen.
00:38:52
Mason
Is there any way that organ doesn't get the one seed? Cause they're minus one 75. I'm going off the, I'm going, I'm just to get the number one overall seed.
00:38:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
for a what That's just them beating penn state they if they beat penn state that's easy It will though a hundred percent be number one number
00:39:05
Mason
And then they're easy money.
00:39:12
Mason
Okay.
00:39:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that's basically the odds for them to be Penn State.
00:39:13
Mason
Well, what is the odds? Let me look.
00:39:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, that means that is the odds.
00:39:19
Mason
Oh, that is odds.
00:39:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The number of years was basically just the odds for them. Okay, so um that's probably enough sports gambling number talk, but I think that's the most interesting and intriguing situation happening right now.
00:39:22
Mason
Yeah, go ahead.
00:39:28
Mason
Yeah, sorry.
00:39:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um The other one is that they've basic the committees basically said that Boise State um is higher is ranked higher than Arizona State in such a way that makes you think that if Boise State wins, they will have a bye, no matter what happens with Arizona State. And so if Boise State wins, which they're gonna be favored, they will have a bye in the playoffs, which is wild stuff.
00:40:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so we don't have to remitigate the whole like, do we need buys? Is it fair that a Boise State team is going to get a bye week while Tennessee, Ohio State playing the first round and the winner of that gets to go play Oregon? I think that's a fair argument. I think Oregon gets pretty screwed over in that situation.
00:40:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Whereas someone like Penn State or the loser of the Big Ten Championship gets to play Arizona State and then Boise State back to back weeks. I don't know. It's a wild system.
Conference Championship Previews
00:40:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think we're knocking some kinks out. I think next year we will not have an auto buy situation ah with with an auto bid because I think that's just caused a lot of chaos.
00:40:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think ah if Boise State gets this bye week, everyone's going to lose their minds over it because what a what an insane thing for Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame to be playing in the first week and then Boise State to get a bye. What kind of world are we living in? So that's where we're at. um Let's do just ah just a little bit of conference championship talk while we're here.
00:41:14
Mason
Yes.
00:41:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And talk about some of the big ones. I mean there's really We've got Four power four plus. I mean the Boise State UNLV game is for a playoff for a playoff buy essentially So let's start with SEC rematch Georgia, Texas um This is a pretty interesting game ah Georgia obviously had the upper hand in Austin in the first week Since then Georgia has looked pretty bad Georgia struggled against Georgia Tech. I mean, eight overtimes just nearly lost that game ah while Texas played a pretty dominant game in Texas A and&M and it looked pretty good. ah These teams, but Texas notably has not beat a top 25 team this season. um The only really competitive game they've had was Georgia and they got beat.
00:42:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
pretty handedly. And so I think there's a question of what is this Texas team really about? Have they improved? Do they look better um as the season's gone on? Or are we looking at a team that's just been un unmatched and is going to struggle? I don't know the answer to that. The line is minus three Texas.
00:42:34
Mason
Do you think that is the case because, wait, it's my, it's my, well, I see it minus two and a half Texas.
00:42:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Boy.
00:42:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Texas minus three is on DraftKings.
00:42:44
Mason
So does the, and then you can keep breaking it down it with it being a Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Can it kind of be advantage of a home game for Georgia?
00:42:55
Mason
Does that have any effect on the game in your opinion?
00:43:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Georgia will travel for sure. I think Texas will also travel though. First SSA Championship game. um I think Texas will travel well. I think there'll be more Georgia fans, but not, it won't be like 95, 5%.
00:43:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like it won't be that crazy. I think more, there are more Texas fans around than maybe you would think. Even if they don't travel from all the way from Texas, there's Texas fans like all over the place.
00:43:27
Mason
60, 40, maybe.
00:43:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They'll come. Yeah, I think they'll be there. A really intriguing matchup. I honestly, I think Tennessee's best shot at getting a playoff game right now is if Texas beats Georgia by like three scores.
00:43:39
Mason
Hmm.
00:43:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Embarrasses them a little bit. And I think there's a potential that the committee could ah knock them down a couple spots. Will that happen? I don't know.
00:43:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's that. Okay, next up, big 10. We've got Oregon, Penn State. Oregon, three and a half point favorites. That number seems pretty low to me, I'll be honest. I think Oregon, I am not a believer in Penn State, I will be frank with you. This Penn State team has also been untested and they're only, they've they've they played a one game, I mean, both teams have played a one game season and it was Ohio State. So I guess we can just compare how those games went. Oregon beats it by one, Penn State loses to Ohio State.
00:44:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oregon's three and a half point favorites Penn State other than other than the Ohio State game has played pretty much no one But they almost almost lost to Minnesota at one point I really like Oregon in this one.
00:44:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just don't think Penn Penn State I think is a pretender. I'm just not convinced that they are a Top three team in the nation, which were the ranked out right now So that's where I'm at there you have any thoughts on that one reason
00:44:54
Mason
Well, I was going to ask, does that move anything? You just talked about some movement. Would that move anything? you're We're still trying to figure out if you'll get penalized, but if it Penn State loses.
00:45:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. um See, Penn State is ranked so high right now for number three, they would have to drop like five spots for it to matter.
00:45:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not sure the committee is going to be willing to do that. They'd have to get beat really bad. I think I could have to be. Embarrassing. Which could happen.
00:45:19
Mason
Yeah.
00:45:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I think the better chance for Tennessee is for Georgia to lose bad, but who knows?
00:45:37
Mason
Organs just look so dominant, way more than Penn State has.
00:45:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I mean Both your schedules have been pretty soft overall, which is makes it just pretty tricky to to understand.
00:45:43
Mason
But it's kind of hard to...
00:45:46
Mason
Yeah, both are good. You're not wrong.
00:45:52
Mason
Yeah.
00:45:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know the answer um Okay next Clemson at SMU this is the big one obviously SMU two-point favorites all of these games are within a four-point spread and
00:46:01
Mason
Hmm. Pretty close.
00:46:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um SMU two-point favorites over Clemson this Clemson team obviously has a lot of talent on it I mean K club Nick is there at quarterback. They've got some stars Clemson always has the players They have struggled though um They've lost three games to their decent opponents. They got beat by South Carolina They obviously got trounced by Georgia in their first game of the season um this is a they lost to Louisville as well and so They've struggled at times to score.
00:46:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um ah SMU has looked pretty good as of late, and so I'm pretty, this is an interesting matchup. I would not be shocked at all if Clemson came out and won this game. I really wouldn't be, and just jacked the whole thing up.
00:46:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I would like to see SMU win though, because I think they're a pretty fun story of a team that was
00:46:57
Mason
Clemson wants to play spoiler.
00:46:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that just joined.
00:47:01
Mason
Yeah.
00:47:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
SMU just joined the ACC, kind of was to some derision from some of the longtime members like Clemson and FSU. Thought it was kind of bringing down the caliber of play in the ACC and then look what happens in year one.
00:47:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah They are fighting for playoff swap.
00:47:19
Mason
Only loss was BYU.
00:47:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Correct. Yeah, BYU team that what looked really good earlier in the season when they played each other.
00:47:23
Mason
Three points. Yeah.
00:47:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so Pretty interesting one. Last one here is the big 12. Iowa State at Arizona State. A two point spread. arizona so Arizona State two point favorites over Iowa State.
00:47:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These points spreads are what makes um conference championships like fun. I think the fact that all of these games are going to be this competitive, there's not these teams at the top are all are all such so close to each other. And the fact the odds are the stakes are high, high, you know, this this big 12 matchup wouldn't have mattered a whole lot in years past, but all of a sudden we're playing for a playoff bid.
00:48:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And this is going to be a fun game. Both teams, Arizona State has looked really, really good in some big games as of late. um I like this Arizona State team. I think they could just go out and win this one outright pretty easy. um Iowa State has been a very up and down team. you They have a feel of a team that has looked really good at times and has looked very poor at times. And so I like Arizona State there. The last one of note, this one's on Friday night.
00:48:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
is UNLV Boise State. ah This one, again, is for a playoff spot. Boise State has everything to play for. they're They're going to get a really, really nice draw in the playoff bracket if they can win this one. ah They will be playing for their lives. Ashton Gente, probably not going to win the Heisman, but has a chance to lead his team, have this Boise State team to a bye week in the playoff, which it would be very exciting.
00:49:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Some of the games around the nation and then we can kind of wrap up. Western Kentucky Jacksonville State. ah That was also on Friday night. We've got Tulane Army from the AAC. An army team that's looking pretty frisky at times. Tulane as well though, that's some fun game. Tulane's actually four and a half point favorites over the 24th ranked army. And then you've got Ohio at Miami, Ohio.
00:49:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A two point spread there as well. So we're gonna have, I think it's gonna be an exciting week in a football. I'm really looking forward to it. ah Mason, do you have anything else for us?
00:49:47
Mason
I do not. I'm just excited and ready ready for some because this is we have a little bit of break until bulls.
00:49:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:49:55
Mason
Yeah, the first it looks like the first weekend would be like December 14th.
00:49:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Weeks.
00:50:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The 20th, 21st is in the playoffs. We're gonna have first round.
00:50:04
Mason
OK, and then ah we will have Army Navy December 14th and then some ball games. Yeah, December.
00:50:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Army Navy, you know, that'd be fun. one Both pretty good this year.
00:50:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So.
00:50:16
Mason

00:50:18
