00:00:47
Zack
I've got some data to give you. I've got some SEC strength to schedule talk as well. um Maybe surprise you, but I've i've put together my own um my algorithms, some ranking systems.
00:01:01
Zack
I'm going to share it with you. Maybe it could help you get some gambling at some point along the season. Who knows? we also We all went together and saw the new Fantastic Four movie, so we will be doing some Fantastic Four talk.
00:01:14
Zack
We've got some press releases. We've got some things to talk about in the news. ah Mason's got some trivia for us, I think, of some kind.
00:01:21
Mason
um Something like that.
00:01:26
Zack
So we've got a big episode, guys. Huge. How how are we doing, everybody? Feeling good?
00:01:30
Mason
great.
00:01:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm feeling really good.
00:01:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I deposited some money in the DraftKings just today because I know Zach is about to unleash the algorithm of all algorithms to win college football bets this fall.
00:01:34
Mason
Hey.
00:01:34
Zack
Mm-hmm.
00:01:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah These are the only bets I'm going to take every Saturday. I'm going to base them off Zach's algorithm right here.
00:01:46
Mason
And DraftKings is listening, so you need to get these bets in quick before they start moving the line.
00:01:48
Zack
Love it.
00:01:51
Mason
So that's why Tinsley's already got the money in, loaded, ready to go, pulled the trigger on some bets, and then DraftKings is going to, they're going to change everything because they're going be like, oh, Zach knows
Seasonal Trends and Consumer Behavior
00:02:00
Mason
what he's talking about. so But yeah, but I've been out a couple episodes.
00:02:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bingo.
00:02:04
Mason
and and I know I needed to come back in because I'm the movie expert of the of the group, you know, and the big the big movie. That's total joke, by the way.
00:02:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Colaberry, yeah. Hmm.
00:02:12
Mason
But he's he's right about the ah fall weather. We literally went from like July 31st. It was like still 90 degree weather to August 1st. It was like doom and gloom and cold and windy and or colder.
00:02:25
Mason
So bring on the fall.
00:02:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
coberry um
00:02:28
Mason
Bring on the fall and bring on the pumpkin spice.
00:02:30
Mason
Right, Tins?
00:02:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we
00:02:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, don't start that. I saw the pumpkin spice Starbucks glass bottle drinks at Walmart the other day. i walked into Walmart sweating because it was 90 degrees before 10 a.m.
00:02:40
Mason
Had to roast him real quick.
00:02:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then there's pumpkin spice sitting there in my face.
00:02:50
Mason
I mean, they've already been putting out the Halloween stuff in the Walmart, and it it was July still, so...
00:02:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep, Halloween stuff's already out.
00:02:58
Mason
Just getting prepared.
00:02:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No respect.
00:02:59
Zack
Crazy. Craziness.
00:03:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No respect for seasons.
00:03:04
Zack
Back in my day, we had seasons and holidays.
00:03:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've said it once. I'll say it 10,000 more times. Down with Big Pumpkin. I know you're listening.
00:03:15
Zack
Mr. Bumpkin himself.
00:03:17
Mason
So, clearly...
00:03:18
Zack
Yeah, I'm out.
00:03:19
Mason
I was just going to say, clearly people are buying it if they or or they wouldn't be putting it out this early.
00:03:25
Mason
Is that justification?
00:03:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Clearly people are deranged.
00:03:29
Zack
They're the sheep, Mason.
00:03:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah,
00:03:31
Zack
They see something, they're like, oh, I have to buy this. Everyone else is buying it right now.
00:03:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
exactly.
00:03:36
Zack
They're not like you, Mason, buying a Ferrero or shares for Halloween candy.
00:03:40
Mason
That's right.
Pokemon Card Craze and Market Dynamics
00:03:41
Mason
That's right.
00:03:41
Zack
You think i outside the box.
00:03:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but
00:03:44
Mason
we We went to Knoxville. We were on a Pokemon card hunt and we're just in the target hanging out. And Zach, there's some good ah Halloween candy just sitting out there and points over and it's that candy.
00:03:57
Mason
I think, to be honest, I don't think none of us, all three of us, the amount of times we've brought up that candy has still said it correctly. Not one time.
00:04:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Why don't you just say its name? What is it, Baltimore?
00:04:07
Mason
For...
00:04:07
Zack
Mason, I have a policy that if I can't pronounce it doesn't belong in my Halloween basket.
00:04:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're like, you need to say it.
00:04:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, that's a good policy.
00:04:14
Mason
Pharrell Rochelle.
00:04:19
Mason
There's no way that's right. 100%.
00:04:20
Zack
See, I'm being disqualified.
00:04:22
Zack
No, your're you're adding some L's in there that definitely are not in there.
00:04:24
Mason
Okay.
00:04:28
Zack
I think we should add a segment in. Maybe this would have been perfect off-season talk. ah I want Mason Intense to give me like, if you had five minutes to break down the Pokemon craze and like what um the pieces are of it, how would you like from someone who has no, it like me, who has no idea what's happening.
00:04:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:04:46
Zack
If you could just be like, here is the main idea. Here are the stuff people want. Here's what people do. Here's the big idea in like five minutes. That would be fun segment.
00:04:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think I could do it in like 30 seconds.
00:04:55
Zack
I would like to learn in something.
00:04:56
Mason
Let's draw it up.
00:04:58
Zack
We should just do it now.
00:05:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Everyone who liked Pokemon cards when they were kids are now adults with money.
00:05:02
Zack
Yeah.
00:05:06
Mason
That's exactly what it is.
00:05:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then there's
00:05:09
Zack
Okay, Bill. Yeah, but I want, I want like a little deeper than that. Like how, how do you get cards? What's the problem? Like what, can you talk about like the scalping situation a little bit?
00:05:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're not making cards.
00:05:20
Zack
Like,
00:05:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're not releasing enough product all at once to where people can all get it and people just go and buy it all at once and then sell it for double because there's so much FOMO on missing out on cards that you're willing to pay double retail to get the cards
00:05:40
Zack
Hmm. So what are most like sought after packs or sets?
00:05:41
Mason
It has a lot.
00:05:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so you can open them.
00:05:44
Zack
Like what, whenever you're looking, what what are you looking for?
00:05:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, some sets are more
00:05:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's...
00:05:51
Mason
It's all based on what you like.
00:05:53
Mason
It's like Tinsley could list off and you're probably going to think he's speaking different language, but there's names of each set that comes out and he could list off because he likes certain, they call them hit cards.
00:05:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:01
Zack
Hmm.
00:06:04
Mason
But usually when you go through a pack, You're going a bunch of common cards about the end is usually not always, but usually ah somewhat rare card or. ah Holographic, shiny card, and so.
00:06:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. It just depends on what you collect.
00:06:19
Mason
And it depends on what you collect and what you want. But obviously a lot of it has and all these apps. It just, it all, some of it fluctuates on what you want. i guess that's not the right word.
00:06:33
Mason
But for me, i just, i just buy cards that I want, but other people, they're in it for the money.
00:06:35
Zack
Hmm.
00:06:37
Mason
So it's like some, some obviously packs have more like valuable cards in them than others.
00:06:39
Zack
Hmm.
00:06:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And sealed stuff like collects value. like There's stuff from two, three years ago that if you've kept it sealed up until now, because Pokemon eventually stops printing sets after a few years. So then it becomes harder to find.
00:06:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If you keep it sealed, it could double, even triple in value few years down the line.
00:07:01
Mason
Because of what? Because everybody's ripping all these cards, so then it's harder to get a hold of these sets.
00:07:08
Mason
So then all these ones that are sealed, their value goes up because supply and demand. There's less of these because everybody's ripping them on whatnot streams or just in person. You're buying them from the store, so then those ah there's increase in value.
00:07:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Older packs, yeah.
00:07:25
Zack
Pokemon's very smart. If they were less smart, they would just like flood the market and and meet the meet the demand.
00:07:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:33
Zack
But then all of a sudden, the values would go down for a thing.
00:07:36
Mason
Correct.
00:07:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. And they, they, I mean, they, they keep pumping out stuff, but they're very like, they limit how much every store gets and they don't put out too much.
00:07:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So everybody still wants it, but. And then opening packs is just gambling. That's also another part where people like it. It's just like, there's no guarantee. You can open up a whole hundred dollar box of Pokemon cards and get like a one $10 hit.
00:07:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then one time you can open up one single pack that costs you $5 and pull the, the, the Holy grail from the set. That's like $500. Yeah.
00:08:06
Mason
It's the thrill of it all.
00:08:08
Mason
ah
00:08:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:08:09
Zack
The thrill of it all.
00:08:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The thrill, the gamble.
00:08:10
Mason
The thrill.
00:08:12
Mason
we need We need to get Zach because obviously and Tinsley got a pack.
00:08:12
Zack
It's pretty cool.
00:08:13
Zack
It's fun.
00:08:15
Mason
But Zach, we need to have him just like experience ripping a pack and
NFL and SEC Sports Analysis
00:08:21
Mason
be hooked.
00:08:21
Zack
Rip it.
00:08:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Listen, Zach, I walked into a casino Zach one time. He spun the the slot machine once, made $10. He said, all right, well, I'm done for the night.
00:08:31
Mason
It was Penny Slots too.
00:08:31
Zack
Paid for my dinner.
00:08:32
Mason
He was like, yeah.
00:08:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Paid for his dinner.
00:08:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's a penny slot. So knowing Zach, he'll buy one pack.
00:08:36
Zack
Pretty good.
00:08:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he'll He'll buy the Destin Rival pack, hit the $500 MewTube. Like, all right, I'm up on lifetime.
00:08:42
Mason
I'm done.
00:08:42
Zack
Sick.
00:08:43
Mason
I'm done.
00:08:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm done.
00:08:48
Zack
You know, that would be great.
00:08:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and It'll be perfectly clean condition. He'll send it to PSA.
00:08:52
Zack
I'd be very upset that I didn't just like hold on to that pack for 10 years and then open it up.
00:08:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll get 10.
00:08:57
Zack
Because what if that car was ripped like 50 years from now? could retire.
00:09:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But you could, but if you hit it and send it to PSA and then you just hold it forever, like the Charizards and stuff from when we were kids that are selling for like houses, houses worth of money.
00:09:07
Zack
Yeah.
00:09:13
Zack
It's crazy. That's nuts.
00:09:15
Mason
Back in the day when we were younger, you didn't have this problem of trying to find them. Every single time I went to Walmart, they had exactly what was looking for. I was just on my parents' budget and I didn't have adult money, so they still would let me and my brother buy a couple packs and they were, what, $3 back then? $10, $4 maybe? $3 pack? It's a better option.
00:09:33
Mason
three dollars a pack
00:09:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep. Back when we were a real country.
00:09:34
Zack
Well, my other option is to parlay together all 16 of my SEC over-unders. And just hit this 16-leg parlay real fast and we'll be good.
00:09:43
Mason
better option
00:09:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's another option that I'm also investing money in. See, I took all my my summer gambling money instead of doing baseball this summer. I just invested in Pokemon.
00:09:57
Zack
Probably safer.
00:09:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know which one I burned through more.
00:09:58
Zack
Probably lost less money on home run parlays.
00:10:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pokemon's been more fun than betting on home runs.
00:10:05
Zack
and losing
00:10:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll tell you that.
00:10:07
Zack
Then you have to watch baseball. which kind of sucks.
00:10:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, no one's trying to do that. This is the number one anti-baseball podcast, I think, sometimes.
00:10:16
Zack
Yeah, we may be trash talk about baseball little too much, but here we are.
00:10:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll never get that MLB money.
00:10:20
Zack
This is a football show. It's been clear. Yeah. This is a football show that supports two of the smallest market NFL teams.
00:10:32
Zack
um Maybe not Jags. Let's not get a 10 star. He's been on a roll this week. ten uh
00:10:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
16th in attendance last year, even though we were absolutely garbage.
00:10:42
Zack
yeah okay i see i knew this was gonna have it well tins has been menace uh i think he's very high on the jags we haven't we've done we've done very little ah nfl talk so far um but tins is he's high on the jags this year if i had to guess there are
00:10:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What? What's up?
00:10:43
Mason
Yeah, why'd you say anything?
00:10:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A minis?
00:10:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:01
Zack
Double digit futures on the Jags that rely on the Jag season um or winning the AFC South or.
00:11:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah That one has got a lot of things going on.
00:11:10
Zack
Yeah.
00:11:13
Zack
So we we will give definitely do some talk, but there's been a lot of Titans talk. Titans look pretty bad. ah So that's something.
00:11:22
Mason
To follow up on what Zach said, um the Titans had the fewest viewership last season, the Jags second to last.
00:11:32
Mason
So you would be correct.
00:11:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's TV though. You're just looking at TV.
00:11:38
Zack
How else do people watch?
00:11:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No one's watching.
00:11:39
Zack
You're like YouTube TV?
00:11:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
my like attend I'm talking about game attendance.
00:11:43
Mason
I'm sure if I look that up, it could probably correlate a little bit.
00:11:44
Zack
Okay.
00:11:45
Zack
Game Thrones doesn't count because we ah the weather in Jacksonville is is like favorable all year long. where and Near the end of the season the northern parts, it's like 10 degrees and stuff while it's still 60 down in Jacksonville.
00:12:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's pretty nice. Pretty nice place to live.
00:12:01
Mason
But why is it?
00:12:02
Mason
but Why does that matter, though, Tins? Because number one wasn't even the, kind like, it wasn't. I'll tell you what the team was.
00:12:03
Zack
I think that skews the numbers if I had to guess.
00:12:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Because people for 12 years told me our attendance sucked and we were going to move to London because of it. That's why.
00:12:15
Mason
But I said TV viewership, and I wasn't talking about attendance.
00:12:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
don't care about that. I watch them on TV. That's all that matters.
00:12:22
Zack
Sure tits.
00:12:23
Mason
Well, Lions had the number one viewership last year.
00:12:25
Zack
The lions.
00:12:26
Mason
Oh, shocker.
00:12:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Under 10 and a half wins. Lions. Book it. There's your NFL future for the day.
00:12:33
Zack
Wow.
00:12:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Go ahead. Remember that.
00:12:37
Zack
Take it. Under ten and a half, folks.
00:12:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Clip it.
00:12:38
Mason
Yes, he does have the ah betting lines memorized, everybody.
00:12:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Under 10 and a half.
00:12:44
Mason
The win totals.
00:12:44
Zack
It's pretty impressive.
00:12:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I got a few. That is a bet that I took. We're not diving into NFL, but like that.
00:12:54
Zack
Okay, do we do we want to dive into football? Do we want to do SEC stuff now? Do we want to wait? What do you guys think?
00:13:04
Mason
Whatever you want to do.
00:13:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm ready either way.
00:13:08
Zack
Okay, let's go ahead.
00:13:09
Mason
Let's do it.
00:13:10
Zack
Let's go and get football of the way. And we've we've got some ah we've got some movie talk later. um I've actually got a little bit of a, well, I've got a two-part segment here. I've done some homework. i've been I've been in the lab a little bit, as Tins would say.
00:13:25
Zack
talking SEC football. I know that maybe not everyone out there is SEC fans. out we We covered SEC. I may do something similar for Big Ten if I've got some time, but um I was curious as to who has...
00:13:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, it turns out.
00:13:39
Zack
Yeah, not really, but it would be very interesting. So what I really wanted to get in in some kind of metric for who has the toughest SEC schedule this season.
00:13:50
Zack
I'm aware that some teams play... they've All the teams play four out-of-conference games, and so those... Schedules vary a lot depending on which team you are.
00:14:01
Zack
But I just wanted to to rank the the eight SEC games each team plays to see who had the toughest schedule. To do that, I had to give each team some kind of ah ranking, some kind of rating.
00:14:13
Zack
So I decided to go with the ranking of they their blue chip roster. percentage. This has been talked about a lot ah as of the late because ah this blue chip rating has become pretty important in college football.
00:14:32
Zack
It kind of became widely known that ah no team below 50% blue chip ratio had won the national championship in like 20 years. So just just a little bit of context, blue chip ratio is what percentage of your team was a four or five star high school recruit
00:14:53
Zack
And so um trying to remember the number of the the last time a team under 50% won ah but it, but it's significant. And so this year, ah there are 18 teams that actually have plus 50%.
00:15:12
Zack
I will tell you what those 18 teams are now. I'll tell you there are nine of them in the SEC. So actually all back to 2011, ah the blue chip ratio has held.
00:15:26
Zack
So that's 14 years. Okay. So here are this year's number one team is Alabama. 89%. So almost 90% of their team are ah four or five star high school recruits.
00:15:44
Zack
Ohio State's also at 89%.
00:15:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Checks out.
00:15:46
Zack
Georgia's at 84. Texas A&M, 82. Oregon, 78. Texas, 78. LSU, 73. Notre Dame, 73. Oklahoma's at 70. That's actually very high for that team. Penn State, 68. Miami, 64. Florida, 64. Auburn, 64. Michigan, 57.
00:15:57
Zack
USC, 57. Clemson,
00:15:59
Zack
um for that team pinn state sixty eight miami sixty four florida sixty four auburn sixty four michigan fifty seven usc fifty seven clemson 55, Tennessee, 54, and Florida State, 54.
00:16:15
Zack
fifty four This is the first time Tennessee's been in this ah since this kind of metric has been calculated. So Tennessee, for the first time under Hypo, has above 50%, so technically is eligible to win the national championship this year.
00:16:29
Zack
that's pretty exciting. Florida State also um made the list for the first time in a while, which was kind of weird after their terrible season last year. SEC has nine of those teams.
00:16:41
Zack
Big 10 has five. ACC has three. And then no Big 12 team was even close. Sorry, Big 12.
00:16:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, shocker.
00:16:53
Zack
Yeah, that would be, so ACC would be Clemson, Miami, and there's another one.
00:17:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pitt, Florida State.
00:17:04
Zack
Clemson, Miami, Florida State. Sorry, Florida State.
00:17:08
Zack
Yep. Okay. And then Notre Dame obviously was in there as well. So I, I wanted to use these metrics because this kind of gives a metric of the raw talent on a roster.
00:17:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cowards, no conference.
00:17:19
Zack
So I took those numbers um and I wanted to add them up for who, which teams each team faces in the regular season. um I did add one weird thing in. I increased it by 20% if it was on the road against that team because i feel like it's a tougher environment to play in.
00:17:36
Zack
So that's how I made these rankings. And so I now have an official over under not over under of official strength of schedule ranking for the entire SEC. Do you guys have any guesses who has the toughest SEC schedule?
00:17:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Florida.
00:17:59
Zack
Not Florida. Not by my ranking, at least. It would be Vanderbilt.
00:18:03
Mason
Vanderbilt.
00:18:06
Zack
That is true. Vanderbilt plays at South Carolina, at Alabama. They host LSU. um They host Missouri, at Texas. They host Auburn, host Kentucky, and they're at Tennessee.
00:18:19
Zack
And that gives them the toughest SEC schedule in the entire SEC. Next after that is Oklahoma. We're going to about them today. They're a very, very close second.
00:18:30
Zack
So we'll talk about their schedule. ah Then is Mississippi State, Alabama. I will say it at the easiest end of the spectrum, the softest SEC schedule is Texas.
00:18:43
Zack
They, me just give you an idea of their, now that you've heard the toughest, let' let's give Texas's. plays at Florida. They play Oklahoma on a neutral field.
00:18:56
Zack
They play at Kentucky, at Mississippi State. So that's two very easy a away games. ah They host Vandy. They're at Georgia. Then they host Arkansas and host Texas A&M to end the season.
00:19:10
Mason
You're about to tell us their win total, but I think it's also 10 and 1 half.
00:19:11
Zack
So
00:19:14
Mason
Yeah. 9 and 1 half. OK. OK.
00:19:15
Zack
who, Texas?
00:19:17
Zack
There's just nine and a half. the the
00:19:17
Mason
nine and a half okay
00:19:19
Zack
There's no ten and a halves in the SEC this year. Okay, so um next up is Tennessee right after that. tennessee's out of conference or Tennessee's conference schedule is very soft.
00:19:31
Zack
And their out-of-conference schedule is actually very soft. Texas has the easiest SEC schedule, but they also play Ohio State in week one, out-of-conference. Missouri also has a very favorable SEC schedule.
00:19:43
Zack
Ole Miss is right there as well. So you're talking about teams with easier schedules. You're talking about Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Ole Miss, LSU, Texas A&M. The toughest end of the schedule is Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Mississippi State, Bama, Arkansas, Florida.
00:19:59
Zack
We talked about Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Vandy last week. So you can maybe see why those teams fell on that and those so low in the over-unders. They just got a really tough schedules.
00:20:10
Zack
Which obviously factors in pretty significantly here. ah So last week, ah you guys have any thoughts about the strength of schedule before we move on?
00:20:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, that sounded all like it checked out.
00:20:20
Zack
Concerns?
00:20:24
Zack
Yeah. Uh, I'm going to continue working on it. I'm go I'm trying to come up with some, some different algorithms, you know, i want to, want to beat, uh, draft Kings to be honest with you. So, um, I feel like there has to be a way, you know?
00:20:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the goal.
00:20:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just wonder why Texas got, how'd they get such an easy schedule?
00:20:43
Zack
Yeah. And Oklahoma got screwed hard. Their schedule is terrible. we sorry We're going to talk about it today. Um, So today decided to break up our strength of sky or our, over under talk a little bit differently than I originally decided because there's two teams with a 6.5 over under there's four teams with a 7.5 over under there's three teams with 8.5 three teams with a 9.5.
00:21:11
Zack
We're going to spend the next four weeks, which is was going to lead us right up to the start of the season, ah breaking down each of these kind of groups. So today we're talking about teams with a 6.5 over under win total. And these, I will just tell you, two of the toughest schedules in the SEC and ah two of the most confusing teams to think about because of their schedule, because of the makeup of their team, because of just What they look like, these teams are, in my opinion, just extraordinarily difficult to predict.
00:21:44
Zack
They're right here in the middle of the fold. a lot of They're getting a lot of hype nationally. both Both of these programs have quarterbacks who have been in potential Heisman candidate talks, but both have a 6.5 over-under win total.
00:22:00
Zack
and That just tells you like how weird these teams are right now and how tough their schedules are.
00:22:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:22:07
Zack
So let's let's jump into it. I'm going to do and this. I'm going to Oklahoma first. Oklahoma over under win total is 6.5. Let me just give you a little bit of background um for maybe those of you who haven't caught up and haven't been dialed into like the media days and things. ah Coach Brent Venables, this is kind of ah make or break. I don't know.
00:22:31
Zack
I think if there's a potential or if they win six games, he's he's probably going get fired.
00:22:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Gotta be.
00:22:38
Zack
they went out and got a new ah quarterback in the transfer portal. This was probably the biggest news of the ah the offseason. John Mateer goes from Washington State, and he came over with his offensive coordinator from Washington State, Ben Arbuckle.
00:23:00
Zack
ah This was huge news um because... Mateer, I think, was the number one quarterback in the in the transfer portal this year. ah Oklahoma locked him down. Obviously, the Jackson-Arnold experiment went pretty bad last year.
00:23:14
Zack
ah They lost a lot of football games.
00:23:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
you
00:23:16
Zack
They did not look good in their first SEC season. I think everyone kind of acknowledged that their schedule was just pretty horrible. But at the end of the day, this is Oklahoma. It's the SEC now. ah You only get so many do-overs and so many new quarterbacks and things like that until...
00:23:31
Zack
The rent comes due. And so Venables is in a situation right now ah where he needs to win at least seven games, in my opinion, if he wants to keep his job.
00:23:42
Zack
um A lot of people like John Mateer. I've legitimately heard Heisman talks about him. He was playing at Washington State last year.
00:23:52
Zack
So ah that's just tough. for The level of competition is really tough for me to get around of of talking about Heisman, someone who came from
00:23:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:24:00
Zack
that schedule to an SEC schedule that we're going to talk about in a second. I just have a hard time with it.
00:24:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cam Ward did it, but in the ACC.
00:24:07
Zack
Nope. And ACC, very true. um I'm not saying it's not possible. It certainly is.
00:24:15
Zack
But boy, is it just not that easy. So let's talk about the schedule, especially for non-conference games, a really interesting one.
00:24:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:24:24
Zack
Illinois state were cutting out a win. Michigan week two, Very, very interesting matchup here. Michigan with a potentially a true freshman starting quarterback.
00:24:40
Zack
Who's been hyped up as much as you can hype up a true freshman starting quarterback? Probably. um i have no idea what this game is going to look like. this It's just very confusing. I don't know.
00:24:51
Zack
I have no idea what Michigan is going to look like as a team. ah They came out last year and looked really bad. I don't know. ah These are both teams that really struggled on offense last year.
00:25:01
Zack
Oklahoma really struggled on offense last year, but both teams have also had a pretty big overhaul. So that's a really interesting matchup. I'm going count that as an Oklahoma win, but boy, is that a question mark?
00:25:15
Zack
um I don't know. Michigan is going to look like, I have no idea. um
00:25:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Where's the game being played? If you said that already, I missed it.
00:25:21
Zack
I think it's, I didn't actually say it. Um,
00:25:27
Zack
Hang on.
00:25:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You keep going.
00:25:27
Zack
at
00:25:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll find it. I can find it.
00:25:28
Zack
Yeah, I don't know the answer to that. um It is in Oklahoma.
00:25:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:25:35
Zack
Can someone do the DraftKings?
00:25:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well.
00:25:37
Zack
What's my line on that? I think they'll have it available.
00:25:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I got you.
00:25:40
Zack
Okay, so moving on, ah we have ah Temple, Kent State.
00:25:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:25:47
Zack
I'm going count those as wins, so that's at least three wins. um But here, let's play a fun game for the team. let's let's Let's play a game called Find the Wins in the SEC schedule here for Oklahoma.
00:26:01
Mason
Oklahoma minus three, by the way, against Michigan.
00:26:01
Zack
ah
00:26:04
Zack
Three-point favorites. Okay, so i'm just going to give them the benefit of doubt and say they win that in Norman. ah So that's four wins. We're going to play a game called Find the Wins in Oklahoma's schedule.
00:26:16
Zack
They host Auburn. Maybe? Auburn is one of the bigger question marks in this entire list as well.
00:26:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um'm pretty I'm pretty down on Auburn.
00:26:25
Zack
Some people are really down. Jackson Arnold transferred there at a bad season, but who knows?
00:26:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jackson Arnold, your quarterback.
00:26:33
Zack
Auburn could be bad. but They could also be good. i I truly have no idea.
00:26:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That coach is like, he's pretty he he gets figured out pretty easy. um
00:26:42
Zack
Yeah.
00:26:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
People are saying like they're they're not allowing media to record at all during practices because he runs just the same stuff over and over and over. And he's just an easy coach to figure out.
00:26:54
Zack
Yeah. They're over under one total is seven and a half.
00:26:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And Jackson Arnold's...
00:26:58
Zack
you're curious, Auburn.
00:27:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jackson Arnold, just bad.
00:27:03
Zack
Yeah, he could be, he could, he could be, but he also have a much better season. I don't know. It's one of those things. It's like, who knows until we see him on the field. um So we could call that up.
00:27:14
Zack
I actually called that a win for Oklahoma. It's at home. I think they have an advantage there so that they play Texas and Dallas ah neutral site.
00:27:25
Zack
They play at South Carolina.
00:27:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's be good game.
00:27:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:29
Zack
So if they if they beat Auburn, they're going to be undefeated coming into this Texas game, which would be very – mean, that would be a humongous game if that happened.
00:27:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Give me South Carolina.
00:27:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh yeah.
00:27:39
Zack
um At South Carolina, they host Ole Miss. At Tennessee, at Alabama, they host Missouri, and then they host LSU end the season.
00:27:53
Zack
I mean, there's just, there are, there are some winnable games for sure. Uh, but boy, is there some tough, they have to go to Alabama, to Tennessee, to South Carolina.
00:28:05
Zack
Um, and then they play Texas on a neutral site. And then at home, you're playing LSU, you're playing Ole Miss.
00:28:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that's three losses for me.
00:28:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:13
Zack
I think that Ole Miss game is going to be your hinge point, whether this hits or not, to be honest with you. In my calculations at six and a half, they have to beat Ole Miss probably for this to happen. Um,
00:28:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:28:24
Zack
which could happen in Norman. I mean, I think that's going to be a big, big game against two teams. Honestly, I feel like we're at a pretty even playing field, probably talent wise.
00:28:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't think Ole Miss got the level of quarterback they wanted as far as i a transfer.
00:28:34
Zack
That one should be fun.
00:28:39
Zack
Yeah.
00:28:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
they They've been riding with what's-his-face the last couple years.
00:28:45
Zack
Jackson dart.
00:28:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah it Jackson Dart, yeah. I don't think he landed another big-time transfer guy this is this offseason.
00:28:50
Zack
Uh,
00:28:53
Zack
Yeah, I don actually don't know a lot about Ole Miss. i willll We'll be tackling them a little bit later because their win total is higher. um i think they're at 8.5 actually.
00:29:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:29:02
Zack
But this Oklahoma schedule is is certainly, that I mean, it's it's we have it ranked as the second toughest SEC.
00:29:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:10
Zack
You can see why.
00:29:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:11
Zack
i mean, it's just, it is a murderer's row. Auburn is probably your softest one there. Missouri is kind of a question mark. Missouri's been a team talked about like, could go 11 and one potentially just with, with how soft their schedule is.
00:29:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:29:25
Zack
um They have some question marks just like everyone else does, but who knows that Missouri team is, is also just very confusing. But so here we are. um This is maybe my hot take.
00:29:37
Zack
i am taking over six and a half wins for Oklahoma.
00:29:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:29:42
Zack
um
00:29:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Venables keeps his job.
00:29:46
Zack
For a couple reasons, this, and I, I feel, I felt like I had to pick one or the other between Florida and Oklahoma, which one I felt like was going to go over here. Cause I don't think they're both going to, i just don't think it's really possible here.
00:29:59
Zack
I'm going with John Mateer having a really good season.
00:30:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Foreshadowing.
00:30:03
Zack
I'm going to go with that with an offensive overhaul. ah Venables talked it up a lot and in SEC media days, how they were one of the only teams that had top, that were ranked top 15 in defense and special teams.
00:30:16
Zack
Their ah offense was just horrible last season. It was terrible. And so they kind of did a full overhaul, new quarterback, new offensive coordinator. It seems like they're taking some big time steps to getting better there when they already had a very good defense last year.
00:30:29
Zack
It's not necessarily typical like what think of as Oklahoma football, but it's a little bit different.
00:30:36
Zack
I'm just going to predict that Oklahoma takes a step. They get one of those big wins. They beat Ole Miss or they beat they went at South Carolina. They beat LSU at home maybe at the end of the season especially.
00:30:48
Zack
i mean, that could be a big game. I don't know, a big upset spot for LSU maybe. So that's where I'm going, Oklahoma. It's a tough one though. I really – I really had to think about that one. I don't know.
00:31:02
Zack
I could be wrong. They could win five games and Venables will be fired. And that would be that.
00:31:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'd feel bad for him. Not really.
00:31:12
Zack
I wouldn't. He's in millions of dollars. He's fine. I think. Okay. So coming on to our second team and in a lot of ways, mirrors the first time we talked about, ah that would be Florida Gators, the Florida Gators, DJ lag way.
00:31:28
Zack
getting a lot of Heisman hype for a, for a player who basically played well in about four games last season, which he played very well.
00:31:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:31:36
Zack
i mean, he looked very good and in the games he played, but Florida has a very tough schedule again. They're not going to hand in Heisman to us to a six win team or a seven win team. Probably.
00:31:48
Zack
um i think the bigger question mark. So another coach on the hot seat as well, Billy Napier, if they put in a five, one season, I mean, I think Napier is firmly back on the hot seat probably, even though he kind of got bailed out at the end of last season.
00:32:03
Zack
um A couple of, well, one big question mark is Lagaway's health. He got injured early in this ah this offseason. i've the if You see a lot of different reports.
00:32:15
Zack
Apparently he's reported to have not been in a a boot anymore, and he's kind of doing some more who knows. that I think even if this injury to Lagway is not going to kill this season, I think just he has become very injury prone.
00:32:31
Zack
And I think the odds, I mean, my take, which is not hot at all, is the odds of him starting all and finishing all 12 games this season is just shockingly low.
00:32:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:32:42
Zack
Like the odds that he's going to play in every single game and finish them. I just don't think he stays healthy. And I think they don't have a healthy DJ Lagway, I just don't see them. being competitive with the schedule they have, which we're going to about.
00:32:54
Zack
But Tinge, you have any thoughts on the Florida before we start talking schedule?
00:32:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I mean, i'm I'm really high on DJ Lagway, but I do agree.
00:33:03
Zack
Yeah.
00:33:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think there's – I don't think he's being managed correctly by the strength program for him that because the injuries he keeps getting are like overworking out kind of injuries.
00:33:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
from I've been kind of diving into what's going on with him because I do have a pretty decent-sized future on him winning the Heisman. um So trying to figure out what's going on. And a lot of it is pointing to they're like letting him work out like he's a linebacker and he's a quarterback.
00:33:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So they're not being smart with how he's training.
00:33:30
Zack
Hmm.
00:33:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it's leading to these injuries.
00:33:34
Zack
Could be.
00:33:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like they're injuries that quarterbacks don't aren't supposed to get in offseason workout programs and training camps. So, yeah.
00:33:45
Zack
Yeah, it's concerning. Hmm. That is interesting.
00:33:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Because think the sky's the limit for this kid. I think he's...
00:33:51
Zack
I mean, I agree.
00:33:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i think he could be very good.
00:33:52
Zack
i agree.
00:33:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But...
00:33:55
Zack
Same. And I think if he's very good, i think Florida's florida ceiling is very high.
00:33:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He is...
00:34:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, because I feel like they' they've recruited well in other spots and did pretty well in the portal.
00:34:03
Zack
um
00:34:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so And I don't know. I mean, i haven't really dove into their schedule as much as you, but i don't I'm not as nervous about their out-of – like i know they're out-of conferences, Miami, Florida State, right? They get both of them.
00:34:24
Zack
Well, you know, let's dive in. Let's dive in.
00:34:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Let's just talk about it. let's Yeah, let's dive into it.
00:34:27
Zack
Okay, non-conference. They start off with LIU. We're going to count that as a win.
00:34:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:32
Zack
South of Florida for winning your first game. Good work. South Florida. I'm also going to give that as a win. um This other non-conference, they don't happen, obviously, back-to-back, but I'm just doing all non-conference first. You have Miami and Florida State.
00:34:49
Zack
um
00:34:52
Zack
I don't know, man. These ss these ACC teams are so they're so hard to predict. Just for sure. I'm much less dialed into those teams and they've had so much turnover. Like ah obviously Miami has Carson Beck coming in Florida state. It's such a horrible year, but we just heard your name called as being a, having a blue chip percentage of about 54.
00:35:10
Zack
They have good players. um There's always a chance that they just come out from their, are totally different program. I don't know. ah That's, I have no idea how to predict Miami and Florida state against Florida, to be honest with you.
00:35:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:25
Zack
That's I don't know.
00:35:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i don't I don't know what think, but i'm I'm very low on Miami.
00:35:31
Zack
Are you?
00:35:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Carson Becks, your starting quarterback. I'm not worried about you.
00:35:37
Zack
and They play that pretty early on. I think Miami is yeah the fourth game of the year. um Okay, well, we'll come back to that. Let's talk about the rest of their SEC schedule, which is rated pretty high. It's rated in the top ah three or four hardest schedules.
00:35:55
Zack
um They start off with at LSU, which... ah which That's your third game of the year.
00:36:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, LSU is tough.
00:36:03
Zack
Boy, what a...
00:36:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:36:05
Zack
That's a night game, 7-30. I mean, that's... If Florida's 3-0 at that point, and's or 2-0, and so is LSU, if LSU could beat Clemson, mean, that could be an electric game at night.
00:36:18
Zack
um We all know what Death Valley is at night. It could be very fun.
00:36:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's that's a hard road game right there.
00:36:26
Zack
Then they go to Miami, the second the fourth game of the season. So after that, they have they host Texas at the Swamp. They go to Texas A&M, which is just a tough place to play as well. I mean, College Station, I don't know. Texas A&M is a middle-of-the-road team, but therere it it's tough in College Station.
00:36:49
Zack
They host Mississippi State, so congrats, Florida, on a win there. I'm going to go ahead and give that one to you.
00:36:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:36:54
Zack
They play Georgia at a neutral site, as always. um they are They go to Kentucky. I'm going to give them a win for that, Kentucky. So shout out. That's two SEC wins so far.
00:37:05
Zack
They go to Ole Miss, and then they host Tennessee in the swamp. Late this season. I think Florida is is already like a ah decent favorite in that Tennessee game, ah hosting at the end of the season.
00:37:22
Zack
That one is honestly too. It depends so much on how the season's gone so far that it's hard for me to say. Like there's a reality where Tennessee and, and Florida are both like five, six, seven win teams.
00:37:36
Zack
And it's kind of an afterthought at that point, or there's a chance that both teams are like fighting for a playoff spot.
00:37:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:37:42
Zack
And that's becomes a huge game. I don't know where that is, be honest with you.
00:37:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:37:48
Zack
So, uh, I mean, Tennessee has had shocking, a shockingly hard time winning in the swamp. So, I mean, I think realistically you could give Florida that game and I would not like argue too much about it, but that's still only six wins.
00:38:03
Zack
Uh, you're going have to win another one somewhere along the way. so I had them, if you count them beating Miami and Florida state, that would be seven wins with Tennessee.
00:38:14
Zack
Um, it's just a tough conference schedule and you have a couple of, a couple of toss up games in the non-conference that, that are not cupcakes.
00:38:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:38:25
Zack
Um, um, Like I said, Mississippi State and Kentucky, I feel okay about giving you those. a lot of the rest is like, is Ligwe going to carry you? Is Ligwe going to be a huge boost?
00:38:36
Zack
Or if he gets injured, you could you could start off the season 4-4, and all of a sudden it's like you're in big trouble. I don't know.
00:38:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i'll I'll say this. If he's healthy going into the LSU game and they you think Florida can win that game because that's LSU at night, that's prime time, that's when you take his Heisman right then and there.
00:38:56
Zack
I
00:39:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Because the storyline-wise, if he goes into LSU and wins that game, then Florida is then could be a problem.
00:39:04
Zack
agree.
00:39:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But – That's such a hard game. That over-under, I see. I like the two out-of-conference games. I feel like they beat Florida State and Miami. So I kind of lean more towards the over.
00:39:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I do see what you're saying.
00:39:24
Zack
and just need three wins.
00:39:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, three STC wins with Mississippi State, Kentucky, and probably like Florida or Tennessee or Texas A&M. feel like they could get one of those, if not both.
00:39:35
Zack
Yeah. Sure. Yeah. I mean, I think there is a reality where if Florida could be a nine win team and like way could be a Heisman ah hopeful and they can, they can make the the playoff and they can do the whole thing for sure.
00:39:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:39:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Finalist. Yeah.
00:39:51
Zack
There's also really where they're six win team.
00:39:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:39:52
Zack
I think their season kind of blows up and DJ lag way, Billy Napier's on the hot seat with six wins, I think.
00:39:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It just depends on him.
00:40:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:00
Zack
And I don't, I don't know. I'm going to take the under here.
00:40:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:06
Zack
That's my official prediction.
00:40:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:40:08
Zack
um But that is kind of betting on Lagwe getting, not making it scene.
00:40:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hurt. Yeah. Yeah. They're more QB dependent than, mean, most college teams are. Most college teams don't roll around with a ah capable backup.
00:40:20
Zack
Yes. Yes.
00:40:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's like going to come in and win you a bunch of games, but he's more injury prone so far in his career than anyone else we've seen.
00:40:26
Zack
Yes.
00:40:30
Zack
his style of football. I mean, he just plays physical. He, he, he runs a lot.
00:40:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:34
Zack
He's, they play a very, very physical schedule.
00:40:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:37
Zack
Um, they play against a lot of very big teams and I don't know. I, I just have a feeling that he's not going to make it to the end of the year, which I mean, it's a bummer because I think he's an awesome player.
00:40:48
Zack
I mean, I, I'm not rooting for that in any way, but it just, it seems like he's got a hard, hard time staying healthy. So, okay.
00:40:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:40:57
Zack
So that's where we're at, uh, next week. We will be covering four teams with a seven and a half over under win total. That would be Missouri, Texas A&M, Auburn, South Carolina.
00:41:10
Zack
What a collection of teams right there.
00:41:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can't wait to talk about South Carolina.
00:41:14
Zack
That is your absolute middle of the road teams. Very interesting.
Movie Reviews and Marvel Trends
00:41:20
Zack
Okay, so that's been your SEC talk for the day.
00:41:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Love it.
00:41:26
Zack
That was long-winded. I'm sorry, but that was good.
00:41:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This is what the people needed though. We're trying to beat, we're to beat Jaff Kings out here.
00:41:29
Mason
It's what we needed.
00:41:31
Zack
People need to yeah, people need to, uh, to hear the facts.
00:41:38
Zack
Okay.
00:41:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Also, I keep preparing my children.
00:41:39
Zack
Well, um, do we want to get into the second, uh, the second half of our programming today, which is a little more movie related.
00:41:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:41:46
Mason
Let's do it.
00:41:48
Zack
We all went and saw a movie last weekend together.
00:41:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fantastic four.
00:41:52
Zack
I'm excited to, that's very good.
00:41:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:41:56
Zack
Uh, we're excited. Let's do a quick, quick reaction. Mason, the people everyone wants to hear from, I think.
00:42:04
Mason
Yeah, they we walked out of the theater and I think they were also wondering what my thoughts were. i Do y'all remember? I think I gave it an 8.1? 8.1.
00:42:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Here's the movie guy.
00:42:15
Zack
It's pretty good rating.
00:42:18
Mason
It's action-packed. It had a good storyline.
00:42:21
Mason
It's different. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing the same movie over and over again. Sometimes we're very similar. This one had ah was different. Not sure how much... ah how many ah spoilers we're going to do on this, but I just, and enjoyed the movie a lot.
00:42:22
Zack
Hmm.
00:42:37
Mason
So there's, there's that.
00:42:39
Zack
Wow. yeah
00:42:39
Mason
Yeah.
00:42:44
Zack
Tens.
00:42:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Yeah, I thought it was good. The story was very fun. i went in a little hesitant about the casting of everyone. Not the biggest Pedro Pascal guy.
00:42:56
Zack
Hmm.
00:42:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think he's good in Mandalorian, but I didn't know how I was going to be with him like doing a like leader of a superhero group. um, character, but he did, he was good.
00:43:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Reed Richards, fun character. Not really. He's actually ah big stick in the mud character. Um, but I thought they did good. Uh, said I think what what they've set up for the next steps of Marvel is, is good. There's a few things, not a lot. There's a few like questions I have more, more questions than I would call them plot holes.
00:43:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, But overall, good. ah Definitely go see it. It's worth going to see in theaters. and We saw it in IMAX, and that was really fun.
00:43:40
Zack
Yeah.
00:43:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um But I do think it is, at bare minimum, a theater movie. Don't wait for this one to come out on Disney+. plus like This one's worth it.
00:43:51
Mason
Which I saw on Twitter that we got a better visual. There was like a side-by-side visual of some of the scenes. And we got to see more because we did the IMAX.
00:44:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:44:05
Mason
So that's the first time I've ever done IMAX.
00:44:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:44:08
Mason
I really enjoyed it I didn't know what to expect. $30 a ticket. But it was well worth it. so Zach, your thoughts?
00:44:17
Zack
Yes, but kind a talking point. um I did like the movie. I thought it was fun.
00:44:24
Zack
I appreciated a little bit of a return to maybe more. It felt like a more traditional like superhero type movie.
00:44:36
Zack
It's been Marvel has kind of gotten crazy with. how we' We've joked a lot, and i I think the most popular take nowadays right now is.
00:44:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:44:47
Zack
that's some of the movies like quantum mania and, um, like Thor love and thunder. And there is a couple of movies in a row that sort of have destroyed audiences because, uh, the box office took a huge hit this week.
00:45:00
Zack
Um, and it we saw the box office numbers drop dramatically into the second weekend, uh, which is not great for its overall health. It dropped like 80%.
00:45:09
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:45:11
Zack
um And so it had a very positive first weekend, like 117 million or something like that, which was pretty good, um but it dropped a lot. And so it's on track for a decent, I mean, it's not, it's going to make like 500 million probably, ah but that's very low for, for what it is.
00:45:27
Zack
i think a lot of people were treating it as like a a reboot. And i think they were, they were certainly attempting to do that. And I think they did a pretty good job. I think a lot of people are kind of skeptical of the the whole Marvel project right now. And Marvel may have to,
00:45:42
Zack
work back some public goodwill after some of their, their less successful projects. um Especially Thunderbolts and Tennessee for both have kind of underperformed in the box office.
00:45:49
Mason
So let me ask you,
00:45:52
Mason
Yeah, let me ask you this, Zach. Do you think the...
00:45:54
Mason
Or Tinsley. Do you think the drop happened because you're going to have the diehards, like, they're going see every Marvel movie no matter what they went and saw that first weekend where, you like you were talking about, you still have to convince just the general public that is not the diehards, not the comic books, ah fanatics, not anything like that. Like, that's what you're having to try to get back. So you saw that big drop because of...
00:45:55
Zack
Yup.
00:46:20
Mason
everybody that went to the opening weekend. Does that make sense?
00:46:26
Zack
Sure, man. that's The thing is definitely piece of it. I think people who go first weekend are generally people who are very excited about it, who are going to watch everything no matter what, who who just like going to the stuff. I think second weekend typically is a lot more of like word of mouth.
00:46:40
Zack
People who are waiting to see how it does in the first weekend, people to wait till they get some reactions from their friends or from people online they trust. um And so it's it's pretty disheartening to have such a big drop off, even though I think a lot of the public reaction was pretty positive to it.
00:46:59
Zack
I don't know. I think the the whole movie going thing is the movie experience. I did see that so far both Fantastic Four and Superman are tracking towards like between five and six hundred million box office total where the new Jurassic World it ended at like seven hundred over seven hundred.
00:47:19
Zack
So the Jurassic World movie did better box office wise than Superman and Fantastic Four, which is kind of just a wild thing.
00:47:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:47:27
Zack
It's a weird place we're in. I think people just are little skeptical of the superhero thing. I think it's been, the question is whether it can come back or not. i think Marvel is really trying. I think the last two movies, most people who saw them recognize they were significantly better quality than some of the stuff that came before.
00:47:46
Zack
ah But it's a matter of, can you get everyone else back in? Like, can you get the public who are totally checked out to check back in? It's not easy.
00:47:57
Zack
i don't know if it will happen or not, but.
00:47:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. And
00:47:58
Mason
I have one question. How in the world are we in the year 2025 and we can't get a better CGI baby? michael That's my question.
00:48:09
Zack
Spoiler alert, it's baby.
00:48:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and
00:48:10
Mason
Well, I didn't feel bad with asking that question because the commercial actually came up today on TV and it was showing like how they get the baby like in the car and how they're like struggling to put this baby in the seat in the car type of thing.
00:48:27
Mason
and I was like, okay, people know.
00:48:28
Zack
it's like literally the last scene in the movie.
00:48:30
Mason
Yes, they showed that in the trailer. So I didn't feel bad at asking that question. But how with all the technology, we're not making baby.
00:48:41
Mason
Well, maybe I should rephrase that better.
00:48:43
Mason
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:43
Zack
Yeah, the baby looks pretty bad.
00:48:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, there's some pretty bad CGI baby scenes.
00:48:47
Zack
Mason wants more baby making in movies. He's literally what he just said.
00:48:50
Mason
i I never said that.
00:48:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You heard it here first, folks.
00:48:52
Zack
No, he said he wants better baby making.
00:48:57
Mason
CGI wise.
00:48:57
Zack
He had to stop watch out As soon as he got a little tired He's like yeah I'll keep track
00:48:58
Mason
Yes. Also, there is like eight minutes that were kind of slow in the middle that i was like, OK, we need to take this out.
00:49:04
Mason
But it's like maybe I should go get another refill of popcorn, which, by the way. Me and Zach crushed three buckets.
00:49:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it was the story building.
00:49:15
Mason
Well, it was two. We did exactly what I always tell people to do on the pod, which is you crush a bucket before the movie starts and then you crush a bucket during the movie and then you get a refill on the way out, which I did and we took it home.
00:49:16
Zack
We crushed some popcorn Two buckets Yeah We did
00:49:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
true.
00:49:29
Mason
So bang for your buck.
00:49:31
Zack
Bang for your buck right there.
00:49:34
Mason
I felt like.
00:49:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, these guys are obsessed with popcorn.
00:49:38
Zack
Ten's famous popcorn hater.
00:49:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:49:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but
00:49:44
Zack
um Okay. Fantastic Four then. Mason's in.
00:49:48
Mason
I'm in.
00:49:50
Zack
Ten's is mid.
00:49:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm in. i i yeah, I like it.
00:49:53
Zack
He's in. Okay.
00:49:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I am very interested to see how they, what's going on with Dr. Doom. He's a pretty big, important part.
00:50:01
Zack
He's coming.
00:50:04
Zack
New Spider-Man. has And now the talk has kind of changed pretty quickly to the new Spider-Man movie coming out next year. ah That is the next big Marvel project that will be dropping. And so that's kind of started making headlines now that Fantastic Four is out.
00:50:19
Zack
It's going to be a big one. think it's going be huge movie. Punisher's in it.
00:50:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that'll be fun.
00:50:25
Zack
Exciting stuff.
00:50:25
Mason
They did like a little teaser.
00:50:27
Zack
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:27
Mason
It was not a trailer.
00:50:28
Mason
It was just like him and his new suit.
00:50:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Got see his new suit.
00:50:30
Mason
Yeah.
00:50:31
Zack
Mm-hmm.
00:50:33
Zack
Yeah, that's become at the forefront of the kind of Marvel conversation, so.
00:50:37
Mason
They want to get back to like what Spider-Man actually is. He never had the nano. Well, I don't know. Like the nanotech suits.
00:50:44
Mason
They want to get that out here and do a refresh. So I'm excited for that.
00:50:45
Zack
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:50:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just want to know what happened to Galactus' ship. um still I still haven't found a good theory about that yet. For anyone who hasn't seen it, there's a giant ship that just parks itself in the Earth's atmosphere and then just stops.
00:51:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So Galactus can come fight us.
00:51:06
Mason
Spoiler alert. That's great question.
00:51:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So what happened to his ship?
00:51:09
Mason
Maybe we'll find out.
00:51:10
Zack
Maybe humans take it over and start eating other planets.
00:51:15
Zack
Could be sick.
00:51:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's bad. We don't want to get the ship anywhere and close to Galactus be able to hop back in it and then come get us again.
00:51:22
Zack
No, he's spoiler away everybody.
00:51:23
Mason
but no But nobody's nobody's running the ship now, so maybe it's just like chilling up there. Nobody's giving orders out. That was all Galactus, so...
00:51:35
Zack
Maybe that's the the plot in the new Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man goes up there and it's like, hmm, I wonder what this does. Starts eating planets on accident. Consuming planets.
00:51:46
Zack
ah Okay, something to think about there.
00:51:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hehehehe.
Comedy and Creative Movie Comparisons
00:51:50
Zack
um we have some other press releases, everybody. Things we want to talk about. Get off your chest, Mason.
00:51:55
Mason
Well, yeah, I was wondering now with that we're talking about movies.
00:52:00
Zack
Hmm.
00:52:00
Mason
um And it I don't know if you guys have talked about it in previous episodes, but comedy, everybody will. We talked about Happy Gilmore 2. And how comedy's back, maybe, who knows.
00:52:12
Mason
But now people are really talking about if comedy's back with this new Naked Gun movie. And the ratings have been, like, through the roof.
00:52:17
Zack
okay
00:52:19
Mason
None of us have seen it, so that's very helpful for the pod. But 91 on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:52:24
Zack
OK.
00:52:25
Mason
And it had, like, 100 start, which I don't know the...
00:52:28
Zack
The new one?
00:52:29
Mason
The new Naked Gun, yes, that came out.
00:52:31
Zack
OK. It's
00:52:32
Mason
um The only ah pro, like the only thing that I'm sold about this movie or that is that it's only an hour and 25 minutes long.
00:52:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh my, this guy.
00:52:43
Zack
pretty good.
00:52:43
Mason
That's pretty good. ah Pretty good time right there.
00:52:49
Zack
It's infamous hater of movies.
00:52:51
Mason
No, i I'm not a hater of movies. Like I'm a hater of incredibly long movies. better So give me ah an hour and a half and
00:52:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
End game pretty long.
00:53:01
Zack
The fact.
00:53:03
Mason
Yeah, you're not wrong about that. 7.1 on IMDB, by the way.
00:53:09
Zack
Yeah.
00:53:09
Mason
So I don't know if anybody's heard, interested, even want to talk about it.
00:53:14
Zack
The guy that plays Mole Man is in it. Paul Walter Hauser.
00:53:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, Mole Man?
00:53:21
Mason
we didn't even talk about him.
00:53:21
Zack
Yeah.
00:53:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
thought you said Maul Man.
00:53:24
Zack
What about the Mole Man spinoff?
00:53:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i like him. He's funny guy.
00:53:28
Zack
Yeah, I liked it. He was a very funny. He's the funniest part the movie.
00:53:34
Mason
I added a little extra comedy to the movie. Yes, I agree.
00:53:39
Zack
I didn't know much about him, but apparently he's like very old school Fantastic Four villain. Like from the 60s era comic books.
00:53:44
Mason
Yeah, I didn't know about it either.
00:53:49
Zack
So there you go
00:53:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hopefully they keep him around.
00:53:52
Zack
I want to see him and and want to see him go up against the Doctor Doom. 1v1.
00:54:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
if only we had him during...
00:54:01
Zack
Let's take this fight underground, Doom.
00:54:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We needed him during Thanos.
00:54:07
Mason
That's what we're missing. We wouldn't have...
00:54:09
Zack
Avengers assemble and Mole Man comes out of the ground like with his crew. That'd be sick.
00:54:13
Mason
and would It would have ended with Infinity War. We wouldn't have had an endgame if...
00:54:16
Mason
Christ. Negotiated.
00:54:16
Zack
Yeah, Mole Man would have never let it get that far.
00:54:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Exactly.
00:54:21
Zack
I think Moome would have teamed up with Thanos, to be honest. He's like, what if we just don't count underneath the ground? 50% of everything above ground.
00:54:33
Zack
That's probably true.
00:54:33
Mason
Negotiated.
00:54:36
Zack
OK, Mason, sorry. What's your, do you have an exercise coming up? What do you have?
00:54:40
Mason
Yes, well, I did initially ask if anybody had thoughts about Naked Gun, and we changed it to Mole Man.
00:54:42
Zack
OK.
00:54:46
Zack
I don't have very little thoughts.
00:54:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i've I've not seen the original or this one. So yeah, just know it's a very like silly seventies and eighties comedy.
00:54:50
Mason
You've seen the trailer, though, right?
00:54:51
Zack
I know nothing about this movie.
00:54:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, yeah.
00:54:58
Zack
Is it like a James Bond parody? Is that the idea?
00:55:00
Mason
Everybody, like, yeah, it's like James Bond, and, like, it has the comedy of, like, what Airplane has.
00:55:07
Zack
Yeah.
00:55:08
Mason
Combine that.
00:55:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:55:09
Zack
Airplane, very funny.
00:55:10
Mason
So I'm shocked because I've been doing this.
00:55:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Very hilarious.
00:55:13
Mason
I don't know what's wrong with my brain. Probably a lot of things. But like I say, I'm saying naked gun, but sometimes I'll say top gun, which is movie that came out.
00:55:17
Zack
Sext.
00:55:22
Mason
So I thought I would come up with an exercise of movies that have similar titles. So that's that's the first one. like And no one's seen Naked Gun, so we're not going to do that one. But Naked Gun and Top Gun.
00:55:23
Zack
Okay.
00:55:34
Mason
So I found a list of movie titles that at least have one word in them or have similar like titles. And they they're all like completely different. Not even close to the same.
00:55:46
Zack
I like that.
00:55:46
Mason
But I want you all to pick which movie you like more.
00:55:51
Zack
Okay.
00:55:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Love it
00:55:51
Mason
And there may be some on here that I'm just going to leave out. Maybe I'll throw them in here, but you may have not seen them. Maybe the audience has seen them. So the first one we're going to start with is the word story.
00:56:03
Mason
Christmas story. Yeah. do Do we want to guess?
00:56:03
Zack
Christmas.
00:56:06
Mason
Do we want like a toy story?
00:56:07
Zack
Never ending.
00:56:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Toy Story.
00:56:11

00:56:33
Mason
Yeah. I want to try changing this game a little bit. I'm going to give the name i'm gonna give the word, and then maybe you guys can list off the title names, and if not, then I'll give them, and then we can pick out the...
