It's a doggy dog world, Sammy, and I'm wearing milkbone underwear. Danny and Dusty on the Odyssey app, and 1080, the fan. Our number two Danny and Dusty with you on this Tuesday afternoon. Thank you for being a part of our day and letting us be a part of yours, whether it is on 1080 AM 99.5 HD to the Odyssey app, 1080thefan.com, twitch.tv/1080thefan, or you sickos on YouTube, youtube.com/1080amthefan, party on party people on the YouTube stream. Great start to the day already. Look, we're cruising already. Today has full bite. We've already given you five rules of people that you don't want to fight, okay? We had clarification on one of them. Yeah, we have cauliflower ear, big forearms, Balkan, and/or Polynesian fellers. You have drywallers, and then the Chevy Cavalier driver. This text came in during last segment. I was a proud Chevy Cavalier owner. Learn to drive on that bad boy, FYI, no radio or side mirror. Jason Sucanik, big suk was a Chevy Cavalier owner, and that goes back to the, they got nothing to lose, you're probably going to get beat up by them, right? I mean, he fits, he fits the mold of exactly what we're talking about with the Chevy Cavalier. So there you have it. Don't do that. Don't do that. Not so fast, my friend. Something that we're going to have to get to. At some point, I heard promotions got us Tara out there. Her phone rang? She has a ringtone. Still. Oh? Yeah. Yeah. Harry Styles. The... I got ringtones. You got ringtones? Yeah. I got some of them very based on who's calling me. Yeah. I know we hear from time to time the shakakani. Yeah. That's my text. That's your text that come through. Yeah. My regular ringtone, it's George Costanza's answering machine. I can't tell you the last time, really. I can't tell you the last time I had a ringtone. I can't tell you the last time my phone wasn't on vibrate. When my daughter calls it's Adam Sandler's, it's the Hogis and grinders, Hogis and grinders. Okay. The Oof Sand Witch. Wow. Yeah. You're still a big ringtone guy. You have ringtones on your phone? My wife, it's the Imperial Death March from Star Wars. That sounds about right. Yeah. Yeah. No. So one time when I was flying back and forth to the Middle East. I had a layover in England and in my hotel room, this is 2004, I think. If you think the commercials here for ringtones were bad, do you remember those commercials? Call now. Yeah, you've told the story. Yeah. Yeah. It was nothing but those ringtone commercials for like five hours. Yeah. And ever since that moment, I was like, no, never, never again will I ever, ever, ever, ever have a ringtone on my phone. Yeah. There was a broken, there was a time in my life where like rust, everybody had, had their own ringtone, but then I just said, Oh, vibrate works just as good. Totally fine. And I can ignore people and that's fine. Yeah. Have an out. Funds on vibrate. Nope. Sorry. I think I've been, my phone has been on vibrate for a decade now. The only time probably a decade, I will take it off vibrate is if I have it out of my pocket on the table and I'm expecting a call that I know that I want to answer, because I'm working on something just so that I don't miss it. Right. That is literally the only thing. Yeah, that's interesting. Best ringtone I've ever, I'd ever heard in my life was there was a softball doubleheader owner in college and our starting pitcher, her dad, we ran into him at the game. We were talking with him and we didn't live too far away in between games. He goes, you guys want to grab beer? And I was like, uh, yep. So we went and we were over at our house. We had a few, we had a few pops with, with the pops of, of the softball pitcher. And all of a sudden, buck cherry starts playing. Oh, she's a crazy pitch. He's like, Oh, wife's calling. And we were like, yes, turns out we were late for his daughter's start. So we had to hustle back to the stadium. Did she know that's the ringtone? Yeah. Oh, yeah. She knows. She knows. And so it became a tradition, it became a tradition. Anytime he was in town, you know, we, we threw back a few with, uh, with old man, with old buck cherry. Well, if you had, if you had your own ringtone for, for you on somebody else's phone, what would you want it to be? Oh, wow. Uh, the friends in low places. That fits me pretty well. Wow. Chef Angione over here. Yeah. Of course it is. Yeah. Of course. It's so good, baby. God. I feel like it'd have to be metal, right? Yeah. I feel like something called like this silent crippling death, something like that or like the, uh, bury me alive or like the, uh, either the sacks solo or the guitar solo for Baker Street. Oh, look at you. Yeah. Why you had that holstered. Yeah. That's my pin tweet too on my timeline from our old, uh, remember our old, uh, walk up videos from the, uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. It's been pinned there for a while. Yeah. That was back. Everybody started doing like the, the, the walk in shots of players entering the arena. Um, all right. Well, Brett McMurphy of the action network. Do you have your song yet? Are you googling your songs? No, I was looking at my Spotify. Oh. Just like, uh, what would it probably be when darkness falls. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That fitting for you. That works. Well, kill switch. Uh, just real quick. One little squirrel moment. Yep. Uh, Oregon state athletics has, well, I'm not necessarily fired a shot, but trolling. Put out a graphic Oregon state football available nationwide, even on Comcast, as they should. Yeah. Have your fun with it. As they should. All right. Uh, Brett McMurphy, the action network he compiled a list of the most overrated and underrated college football teams based on pre-season rankings. Okay. He went back to the inception of the college football playoff, the most overrated and underrated teams compared to the AP pre-season rankings and the AP final rankings, okay? Um, who would you think is the most overrated team in all of college football based on their pre-season rankings? My first thought was Texas. Texas. They are top 10. Yeah. And they come in at sixth on the list. And then, uh, my team USC is number two on that list. Yeah. The number three years when they are the top 10 that they didn't finish in the top 25. Yikes. Well, they don't hold the candle to Auburn. Yeah. Auburn is the most overrated team in college football over the last decade based on their pre-season rankings and where they finish in the AP final poll. They're still carrying a lot of water for Cam Newton, that era. Yeah. Well, and in there is that Gus Miles on era where the expectations were always high. Look, to be honest, well, Bonix is tenure in Auburn. It was, this is the year and it never was. They were good. Just not. Yeah. That good. So the top five are Auburn at number one, USC number two. The Wisconsin Badgers, Paul Christera is number three, Texas A&M is at fourth. I thought that Texas A&M would be higher, but they never were starting at a high point. They would always kind of be in that middle range of the top 25 and always kind of live there. Yeah. And they would live there. Number five is LSU, number six, the Texas Longhorns, number seven, the Oregon Ducks, number eight, the Oklahoma Sooners. These next two I thought would be higher. Yeah. Miami is number nine, Florida State is number 10. Yeah. I would have thought both of those teams would have been higher. Yeah. I guess that's a cause of them not being up higher to begin with. Well, and I think with both of those two teams, if you're only judging this off the pre-season in the final polls, both they make sense when you think Miami and Florida State would always have a win early where Miami's back. This is Florida State's year, and then the wheels start to come off a little bit, right? Yeah. And I think that's kind of the reasoning behind that. The most underrated teams in college football, I thought that this was even more fascinating than the most overrated teams in college football. I just want to say right away. Yeah. Is there something that popped up to you in this, in this group at all, first glance? I mean, nothing. I thought Oregon State would be on the most underrated, but also, but they were not there. There's so many cats, Wildcats, Bearcats, Tigers, Wildcats, Wildcats, Cougars, it's just cats. Yeah, I didn't think about that. I was like, why the hell are there so many cat teams up here? Do we understand? No, there's just a lot of cat mascots that's over there. The wild cat, I believe, is the most popular mascot in college sports. But the only cat, it's a wild cat, by the way, is not a vicious cat. We should have like, I mean, Cougars are way more. The only cat in the top 24 of the most in the forest and the bar, uh, overrated. There you go. Uh, are the tigers of both Clemson and Auburn otherwise, but it's like all of the underrated cats are all in. All right. Well, it's weird. Now we have that. Uh, number one most underrated team in college football is northwestern wild cats. Uh, number two is Cincinnati. Number three, TCU. Number four, Missouri. Number five, Kentucky. Obviously these are not the blue blood programs that, that get that label stuck to them of being perennially in that top 15 name recognition gets you in the top 15. And if you could look at both Cincinnati and TCU, those are bolstered by college football playoff runs where they literally came out of nowhere. And as you go from unranked to a top 14 by the end of the year, that is going to skew your standing significantly. And Northwestern is always a team that nobody really gives a crack at being good at the beginning of the year. And they end up nine and four, you know, 10 and three, eight and five, and at the bottom of that top 25 from unranked. The same can be said about both Missouri and Kentucky over the last handful of years with the Leidrinkowitz and Mark stoops running, running the show there of out West flavor, Arizona is at number seven on that list. I was surprised there was a few pack 12 teams on here. Fresno State is 21st. Colorado is 24th, which I don't understand. They had one year, one year, like a year. And in that year, they would have two years. They would have two years. That's true because they had one melt tucker year. And then they had, Oh gosh, who was the white dude that left after when 2014, and then Washington State comes in at 24th as well. We had a tie for 24th of teams that just don't get down, get enough enough love. Yeah. Yeah. McIntyre, yeah, who went to Florida and had that shark incident. And now I believe is that central Michigan, I think is central Michigan, Mike McIntyre, the directional Michigan's. Yeah. Yeah. He's playing for one of them, one of them trophies that was in the in the running in our hotly contested best rivalry trophies, indeed, they got bounced early though. They got bounced early, but we do have a bunch of teams that we could see falling out of those graces or look, we could see, by the way, you know, this is the problem. And when you look at those overrated teams, the thing about them is they often will start pretty high, whether it's Texas, USC, Oregon, Oklahoma. They start really high and one bad year skews you significantly in that. Yeah. Each of them have had those big hiccups. USC had three top 10s where they did not finish in the top 25. Yeah. And that'll pummel you. You're five most overrated teams based on preseason to final rankings, according Brett McMurphy, the action network and what he looked up over the last decade, Auburn, USC, Wisconsin, Texas, A&M and LSU, the underrated teams, Northwestern Cincinnati, TCU, Missouri, and the Kentucky Wildcats. All right. A lot of action has been happening, including a local guy getting outright release today. It is cut day across the NFL. Teams have to trim the rosters down to 53 or 58 now. And then you have trades, which is an odd thing to see, but we have a couple of trades that are making waves across the NFL, Danny and Dusty on the fan presented by T-Mobile, the official wireless partner of Odyssey Sports with an awesome network and great savings. There's never been a better time to join T-Mobile. Visit your neighborhood store to make the switch today. It is cut day across the NFL this day. It's such an interesting day because you think of a lot of these moves as basically just an afterthought of what is going on in the landscape of the NFL. But the reality of it is that there's going to be a thousand guys by the end of the day that their dream is coming to an end, right? And there's this unrest and uncertainty about what their future and what their careers all hold in front of them because you get cut from an NFL roster. You don't know when the next time that phone is going, Turing again, it could have been the last time you've ever had a helmet and cleats and gone out on the football field. And so it's always one of those days that I try to make sure we mention that this is people's lives being turned upside down, which is wild to think about. But there's also a lot of guys, and I think why the conversations are so interesting about this is that there's a lot of guys that are going to get those extra shots and extra opportunities because some really talented players that are seeing the door, right? Yeah. Well, and also a handful of these guys, too, will wind up being brought back like to the practice squad. Yeah. Yep. Because, and that's one of the good things that the NFL has done is that you can put some veterans on the practice squad now and not guys that are just hanging on, clinging for life and you never have any, you have no inkling that you're going to play him ever. Yeah. But you need warm bodies and they could only be so old back then, well, now you can backfill it with some vets that you say, all right, somebody gets hurt. We actually can play him and be serviceable and he can know what we're doing and we can hit the ground running. Absolutely. One guy that got cut locally that this was a bit of a surprise to me just based on, I thought people would still want to hold on to what could be with Isaiah Hodgens, the Oregon state product, Corvallis High, you get, he's only 25 years old. He's been in a league now for three seasons and I thought Isaiah Hodgens were going to be a no brainer as to what he would, what he would be in the NFL. He would be a productive possession receiver. We saw him flash for spurts and in Buffalo and then he goes over, he gets traded to the New York Giants and today he was cut and I was a little surprised to see his production not being as much as I thought it would be and some guy, sometimes guys that you think of being highly touted and are explosive playmakers, the NFL is so hard because you just don't know. He was a sixth round pick and again, he had those flashes. I remember vividly a game in Buffalo. I think it was like 2022 where he kind of went off and he had a game where he came up with some big catches on the goal line, but just was never able to latch on and have everything that clicks with him and he was just cut today by the New York Giants. Well sometimes even just comes down to a guy's fit within a system and whether it's an offensive scheme or just even fit with the coaching staff and they can come to an end just that quickly. And then go thrive somewhere else, you know what I mean? Yeah. He'll be interested. He's only 25 and he's a big body guy. He's going to have opportunities obviously. His phone will ring at some point and you'll get picked up. But I just thought Isaiah Hodgens was going to be a more reliable consistent receiver in the NFL and it just hasn't panned out that way and that's why he was a sixth round pick. A guy that was very highly touted and boy, his miscues were exacerbated, was Caderius Tony released by the Kansas City Chiefs, the no brainer of no brainers where you saw him fall out of the good graces of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reed and the rest of the Chiefs offense over the course of last season. He is he's on the outs with the Kansas City Chiefs and that's a guy that like you think about him. I don't know who's going to roll that. Somebody will. Yeah, somebody will. But because of the speed and just one thing you cannot, you cannot teach and maybe there they go. He is a product of the environment and maybe he just didn't understand it. But if you are not thriving with Andy Reed in Patrick Mahomes, I don't know where you thrive. Right. Yeah. Well, you know, kind of an important part of being a wide receiver is being able to catch the ball. Yeah. When you're open. Yeah. Especially and staying on side that to yeah, commanders released Martavis Bryant heard that in your update. He hasn't played in the NFL in 2018, she's the we six seasons. He could have been the comeback story of the year in the NFL, but he was in the substance abuse program in the NFL for six years, finally gets out gets that chance. You were hoping that something just something would good would happen for him, not not the case with with him, and that may be the end of the road for Martavis Bryant. Frank Gore Jr. was released by the Buffalo Bills. That was a surprise. I didn't expect to see that. We get a hundred yards rushing over the weekend. Yeah. Not only that. And you don't got running backs in Buffalo. Yeah. So you don't have running backs and it's not like you're going to just going to go find one that's going to help you all of a sudden, you know what I mean? Not the scrap, maybe they just feel that that comfortable with cook this year. Maybe this is the year. Uh huh. Yeah. Um, and then we've had a couple of trades that have gone down in the NFL head scratching trades. Well, the Titans pick up Ernest Jones. That one made sense in a trade with the Rams. Yeah, the Rams didn't like that. Ernest Jones said something about getting traded and said, Oh, you want to be gone? Say goodbye. Yes. Quick. They were looking for a contract. He was looking for a contract extension. He didn't hold out. He was there. Obviously wasn't happy, but the Rams get a fifth round pick in return for, um, for Ernest Jones and he said, Hey, head scratchers. What ones kind of scratch, uh, the Packers training for Malik was, yeah, to backup Jordan love. I just, we saw Malik and it was very bad, like it was, I don't even think it was like, I could see him being a backup. He was really bad. Well, he's the first round pick and you are bringing him and not to start, but to be somebody that can just be in the shadows behind Jordan love. I guess if you want somebody to run your scout who's got some athleticism, well, and I don't think I think there's even a little bit more with in that and you have an offensive minded head coach and offensive minded head coach is always thinks we can fix him and was, is Malik will us a better option than what you had there because right now those two are the only two that you have on your, on your depth chart. I will say selfishly, uh, I, I, I'm feeling very blessed, the sour, yeah, as the Raiders have released, Nathan Peterman. Thank goodness, it's the Peterman reality tour coming to an end that that is no longer a case. If you want to spend the practice squad, fine, but if they, they would have put him on the actual 53 man roster, I would have lost my mind. And you would have been completely justified, justified in losing your mind in that, in that moment, Seahawks. In this may be a sign of the injury to in Wusu in Seattle, they get Travis Gibson outside linebacker from Jacksonville for a sixth round pick. And they had, they showed that Luusu had a sprain of his MCL knee and stability, starting the season, needing depth Seattle goes out and they get Gibson. That's not going to be one that is, is a game changer by any stretch of the imagination. But that, that deal went down yesterday and you look at just building depth on that defense because you're going to have to lean on your defense yet again. And I think Mike McDonald, that's exactly the identity that I want. He wants to play with in how they want to operate. I thought it was weird that Donald Parham got cut by the Los Angeles Chargers. Another one. The team, it's bereft of any kind of assets on the receiving side of things said no to a receiving tight end. Yeah, they got Will Disli and Hayden Hurst. I bet Hayden Hurst is going to be the guy that they're going to rely on to be the receiving threat. Disli's kind of the jack of all trades, banged up historically, like injury history there. It's like a third tight end there, so it's like maybe a good idea. Donald Parham too, though, is a guy who's habitually hurt and look, if you don't fit into the mold, one thing that both Disli and Hurst will do with with no exception, they'll block. They'll block and when you have Greg Roman, Jim Harbaugh, that's going to be the identity of their offense, just didn't fit kind of schematically. What they were going to do. And Parham was a really good they have to. But Parham is a really good receiving tight end, a tall guy on the outside, in that fit more of what you were doing under Brandon Staley, especially with Kellen Moore as your offensive coordinator. This is a full on regime change and sometimes that's when those guys with the casualties where you go, all right, you got a solid receiving tight end there. They don't need that. They don't want that. They need protection for Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins. So significant injury history on those two running backs that are going to be in your backfield. Yeah, the, the other one that got my eye was the, not necessarily that it was a weird or wrong. It just kind of like, wow, okay, the Eagles released, uh, here's a couple of guys for you. Paris Campbell, Will Greer, and John Ross, it's a pretty good little three man seven on seven start. Sure, John Ross, all he had the little bit of that cadarius Tony where he was fast, but just could not catch anything catching ball, very important as a wide receiver. Being a straight line star can get you, it's like being seven foot in the, in the NBA. Yeah. I think seven foot will get you there running a sub four, two 40 in the NFL. What gets you on a lot of fields, but eventually they just kind of go, Oh, you're here seem to be. Oh. Oh, remember, what was his, what was his role pick a shim to beat? Yeah. What was, I remember his girlfriend, uh, in her Twitter account more than more than I remember. I think she had the, like the Twitter handle, like the Bay hive or something along those lines. She was a wild card on Twitter. She would be calling out Terry Stott's players. I mean, she would call everybody out during games on Twitter. It's like, I wonder where she's getting this from. Yeah. And he was here for what? Six months. Yeah. That was fantastic though. So weird. That was, it was, got me a chuckle and those were not great times either. No, no, those, those are the figuring things out time. So, um, yeah, cut days, cut days a little bit weird. Oh, there's, there's some names that I did not expect to see. Well, Desmond Ritter got cut today by the Arizona Cardinals. He's not unexpected. I know. He just came in the league. He's very quick to be in and out of the league. It's, I mean, that is very quick. When you look like that, that's kind of the same thing with like Malik. I was like, if you ask me who I, who I think is more viable, I might say Ritter. Yeah. Maybe. Gun to my head. It's not a decision I want to make. No. I wouldn't go there. You know, I wouldn't go there. Um, yeah, that's, yeah, that's about it. I mean, wow, Felipe Franks got cut by the Carolina Panthers. Remember him? He's a quarterback at Florida. Move to tight end now gone. The pride of mountain view, high school, Jacob Hollister also cut by the Carolina Panthers today, um, as well. That sucks. Local guys hate to see it and he had a, he had a pop with the, with the Patriots a couple of years ago where he looked more than viable as a tight end and it's just so crazy how quickly it can just go to the wayside. The one thing that hard knocks was, was tracking this. This is going to be a hard knock spoiler, Brett Ripon, not with the bears any longer. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Who'd they keep? Is their backup? Uh, the, the guy who started, uh, Tyson Bejan. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which we knew that was going to happen, but where they're going to cover three or carry three. I bet what we'll see Brett Ripon maybe come back on the practice squad as a quarterback there. And being the, like foremost arm wrestler on the planet, it's still very awkward. But also fitting when you hear him talk and you hear interviews, you're like, well, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. The fact he did a mile of broad jump burpees for a mile this, this summer, that's psycho stuff. That's, that workout is absolutely, could you imagine doing that? No, I would, I'd be like, I'm dying. My shoulders, I would tear. Well now they would even like even best, even absolute best shape me that would be it would insanely hard to tear me apart. Yep. That's a different kind of human. I don't, I don't, I don't know what to do with that. I, that's, that's a level of sickness. I can't get to, which is where we'll go to with our next, uh, on our worst day on the web. But first it's big, who know sports that update? I hear they got some tasty burgers. It's time for today's worst day on the web. Danny and Dusty on Odyssey and 1080 the fan. That sucks. I love a gold, old country, hate best, it's the simplest things that bring out the most hate and envy. And where can you find hate and envy over something very simple and stupid? But Kentucky. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Kentucky, West Virginia, wasn't that, we went over this Hatfield McCoy's. That's where it originated. Uh, the Kentucky State Fair. Okay. The fairs are a good place for controversy. That sounds like a good party, the Kentucky State Fair. That seems like a State Fair. I'd want to go. I mean, you go to one stand, moonshine, next stand, something fried, next stand, probably some sort of firearm and next stand, something sweet. Sounds like a good time. Sounds like a good State Fair to me. And then a beer garden. Yeah. A lot of, a lot of local brew, what imagine, uh, maybe some local pies. Cause that's where this story is going to go. Uh, there's a, or cause I shouldn't say cotton pie, I should say cake. A, my favorite cake contest was won by a woman named Carrie Perry. Oh, hey, look at that. That feels made up. Well, I feel like it's a fake name. She's going off the Katy Perry thing. And maybe she makes like a pear pie or like a pear cobbler of sorts. Or maybe a peachy keen tucky. Oh, hey. Mm. Get it? Yep. Uh, also she spells Carrie. How do you think she spells it? What's the most irritating way to spell it? Uh, yeah, I would say that would be it. What about K A R R I? Oh, two hours. That's a good one. Yeah. Cause that's how she's Carrie. You get a roll. Roll. Roll. Roll those ours. Go Jason. So I carry Carrie. Uh, but she won. Carrie Perry. Mm. She won the blue ribbon for her peachy keen tucky cake. All right. It was a peach cake with vanilla and almonds with fresh peach jam in the center with a Swiss meringue. Hey, buttercream frosting on the outside that was very delicately flavored. Uh, here's the thing. She's not from Kentucky and the local Kentucky ins are mad. Oh, she's from out of state. She's in import. Yeah, this thing. She's me out of state. She doesn't count seas. So, uh, the rules are, uh, you need to, uh, make a layered cake has to be made from scratch, recipe needs to be provided being an in-state resident isn't one of those rules according to the, to the actual contest. Well, is it bad? I don't have a problem with this. Where's she from? It's a good question. Georgia. Is she coming with those, with those sweet Georgia peaches into Kentucky and, and infiltrating like a, that's an unfair advantage, maybe. Hmm. Yeah. Okay. Well, prove where she's from. First people. And then, well, she says she's not from there, so I don't care. They, they said they've had other contest winners that have been from as far as Arizona. Oh, see. But I mean, if you're, if you're, if you're in Kentucky and you're in the Kentucky state fair, are you, are you thinking that this is the US fair where it's open to everyone? Or is this more? Is it about? No, I do. I think what you're doing here is you're entering your pies, like a quilt, like a, you know, you're going to a quilt competition, which I don't know if you know this. Those are things quilters. They take it very seriously. And so I bet they, I bet you just sit there and like, I want to see how many states my pie can win in. And I think that is fair game because wouldn't the undisputed pie champion of the United States of America be somebody that wins in multiple states, then you could just say, Hey, I won in Kentucky, Georgia, Idaho, Oregon, Iowa, and you just go down the list and you treat this thing like it's the electoral college. You just go down the list. How many states have you won? Pally, you know, sometimes you're not going, you need a need voting rights in the state kind of a deal? No, no, because this is, this is pie. These are the pie is the candidate. I would say is the candidate and the candidate you're voting for isn't from the state. So you're just going, you're originated in your state is every green, what? It originated. It was baked in your state. Yeah, sure. Yeah. It's from your state, but is every ingredient from the state of Kentucky of these winning pies? Hmm. By would say the person mixing it. We are a melting pot. Yeah, that's right. So why should the person mixing it be from that state? I do know that there's a lot of angry grandmas though in Kentucky based on this out of town are coming in and winning our pie bakeoffs. I guess that's something we don't really have to worry about here in Oregon because, you know, California pie maker is not winning an Oregon state fair pie competition. You don't think so? No. Some are from Washington, Mike. I think I think somebody from California, Mike, it's sheer volume. No, they're overwhelming. No, we are a legion. No, we are many. You don't, you don't know pie. You don't know pie. You know beaches and sand in your crack. My last name is of actual pie among us. Who has a pie named after them? Yeah. No, you can't make it. You know that. You know, you can't make a lemon and meringue pie. Goodness. You know that. Unbelievable. If you don't believe that if I am baking contest that I wouldn't make a lemon meringue pie, you were out of your mind. Yeah. And you wouldn't win it because you're from California. You don't know how to do that. Hey, I'm just saying facts here. Unbelievable. I did a different kind of baking in college. Yeah, what'd you put in there? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Butter. Some stuff. Bomb water. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Jeff's got his brownies again. No, don't touch that one. No. Uh oh. Bear's on the moon for Thanksgiving. What do they call them? Cosmic cakes? Uh oh. Good Lord. A statement has been issued. The Kentucky State Fair Culinary Division is highly competitive and we celebrate the pride passions and pursuits of all exhibitors submitted this year. He wrote this, went to freaking English store, English school. There's just no way. Yeah, they did go to English school. You like that? That's what they did. Sounds like Danny didn't. Wow. I totally lost one. I was going to say that. I want, I wanted to say go to school be an English professor. God. This guy. This guy. Yeah. You mean like word? You sound like idiocracy. Would you go English school? Why you know so much about words? Get to the next word. Why you know so much words and stuff. English guy. Thank you. So smart. Oh, the alliteration. That's what I was trying to get to there. My God. Let's pick this back up with the notoriety of this class. We will welcome those around the region to compete for the coveted blue ribbon. This year, let's just say the proof was in the filling. Yeah. Ooh. See, I hate this. That's punny. I hate this. That's punny. They're good. That's folksy right there. That's folksy. You put in enough words to where people that don't understand what you're talking about will just be like, I can't read this. I'm done. And then you you throw in a little jab at the end to make the one who actually won the pike competition, Carrie Perry, happy. They have also clarified in regional fairs next door. Ohio and Indiana state fairs require contestants to live in state. Oh, see. Hey, dems the rules. Carrie Perry ain't going to Indiana or Ohio to win their competitions. You got stick to Kentucky. I bet you she knew that too. Like she's she's goes through the bylaws and is like, I got it. Where can I exploit this? I got this. Yeah. Yeah, because it's actually not that good. You know, I welcome Carrie Perry in her, uh, whatever the name of that peach pie was. I welcome her with open arms because that sounds like a delicious pie. I love pie. I love what's your favorite by? That's a tough question. That's a really tough question. I banana cream pie. Yep. Banana cream pie is amazing. I'd probably go with like a chocolate cream pie. I like I like banana cream pie. I'm a fan of a good strawberry pie. Key lime. Yeah. Cherry pie. I'm a fan of cherry pie as well. It's the only time. So is Jenny Lane. It's a blue thing or a warrant. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. He's just staring at you because you know what you did. I mean, you know exactly what you did. And you had to explain your joke to some people who were like, maybe they didn't know that. Well, you were kind of looking at me that way. Well, it, it, look, she's my cherry pie. All right. I know. I know. Damn you. Warren. What are we supposed to do with this? Speaking of state fairs, they're probably playing out of state fair this week. Unbelievable. Yep. This is what we do. All right. Come up next. A quick little pivot. All right. To college football, some, the picks are starting to come in and there's a couple of ups, upsets, I think outside of the Big Ten and the SEC. All right. All right. All right. Okay. That was decent producing. Now, they say cold drink of water. I mean, would it be that much different if they said, you know, kubil ice cream? Yeah. She's cool, kubil ice cream with that cherry pie. Yeah. Pie all the mode is the way to go, especially the Marion Berry Pie coming in on the Vancouver Vortex side. Oh, solid. Elite. Marion Berry Pie Elite. Yes. Elite Pie. I'm not out on Marion Berry. Go back to California. It's overrated. Go back to California with your Marion Berry takes. See, this is why they can't make good pies for us. Literally on Mary Berry Farm. Ten blocks from my house. Had to go further blocks. Yeah. Yeah. On the other side of the river, that's, that's all farm line. It's a ball. Marion Berry Pie is delicious. It is good. Because what is it, is it the, is, is Marion Berry more acidic? Is that what it is? Ah, it cuts through a little bit different. Sure. I think that's what it is. Marion Berry syrup is great as well. Like you go in a little Marion Berry syrup when you go to Elmer's, put those on your cakes. Oh, buddy. Yeah. You could take that maple. That's a good fact, Canada. Not like a little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, that sweet Marion Berry syrup is very amazing. Very beautiful. Very beautiful. Amazing. And this sounds good too. Strawberry rhubarb custard pie with crumble top. Oh, God. Yeah. There's a lot of things going on there. That's, that, I feel like rhubarb is, that's the only time it's ever good. Yeah. Like, do you ever hear a rhubarb being used in anything else? Mm-mm. I, because it's bitter. I had never actually seen a rhubarb until probably like two or three years ago at the grocery store. It was like, like a red celery or something. Yeah. Yeah. It looks terrifying. I was like, what the hell is that? And then that was like, oh, that's a, you've ever been to a grocery store and I had an idea of what something looked like. And you saw it for the first time and you're just like, what? Yeah. When I was a kid, that was Kiwis for me. A little fuzzy. Yeah. Like, but like I had had Kiwis like, defuzz, but they'd been peeled and I was like, they were like, get, my mom was like, get some Kiwis. I was like, that's some, I don't know where it's at. Yeah. I didn't expect to see those little fuzzy balls. Nope. Yep. Nope. Make sure we're clear there. Um, what was, what's the one from, uh, dragon fruit? That thing. Yeah. You know what that looks crazy. It doesn't look like a dragon. No. It lies. You're right, Jeff, it does not look like an actual dragon. Hey, star fruit looks like a star. Yeah. It's not wrong. All right. Am I asking too much here? Yes. Probably. Does it look like a dragon's egg, maybe? I thought you were going to say something else for me. I, yeah. Look. Oh, come on. I'm with. The way it has been going. Well, I mean, the air, the air definitely started to sound like something else. And I was like, oh God, you got me. You definitely you. Totally fine. All right. Well, speaking of somebody else, Ross Dellinger of Yahoo Sports quick, a little pivot here. We're still sticking with Yahoo is the report from the NCAA is out, uh, of what they are hoping to do to change college football again already. And that is to limit the transfer windows. Yup. They're going to get sued for this. So they want to go from having to a, a winter into spring portal window to just having one that is a 30 day period where players at the end of the season could say, I'm unhappy. I want to leave. They want to cut down on there is value and there's a lot of value and struggling when you are at a place. What they want to do is cut down the, well, I'm not going to get, I'm not going to be a starter. I'm not going to leave. Yeah. And the coaches around college football are saying that spring window, you are hurting kids and kids are hurting themselves by having that portal window and being like, dude, just see your way through it, grind your way through it, and you'll come out the other side of better player. There is a ton of value in them. And a lot of guys are just saying, nope, out, we've seen a lot of players around. How many guys have you heard of who, when they're in the NFL or they're in the NBA and they say, you know, it was hard when I wasn't the guy anymore, when I wasn't the star and I had to reset and restart and I had to, I had to face some challenges when I wasn't the best anymore. And I came out the other side and when I got done, it took me two years, but I got on the field finally. What you're seeing now is a lot of guys will go through that first year in college. They'll go through spring ball and be like, oh, I'm still not a starter. Bye. I'm gone. And I do agree that, all right, give them the window, give them the portal, but do it if you're unhappy, right? Yes. Do it if you're unhappy and that is have that one time, you know, if you're unhappy or not within the first two weeks that you're on campus, you'd be like, yep, they, not for me. They lied to me, you know, they're going to get sued and they're going to lose the window. Yes. You may get a year. And the other part of this is coaches want this. They just want the one window because it's simpler. It's easier. It's less management. But here's the thing. Once you opened up this box of NIL and new era and everything else that comes along with it, you were going, the NCAA and whatever institution comes around as some sort of governing body for the top 60 schools in the country, they are going to get their ass handed to them so many times between now and then and lawsuits that they are not going to be able to put constraints around anything outside of what is absolutely specifically detailed and outlined by those. Well, and there's a lot of states that no compete clauses don't hold up in them. Now that you are paying college athletes, they are going to be considered employees very shortly. Essentially what you're doing is putting a no compete on them. And that will be a thing where you sit there and you go state to state. We saw it with NIL. NIL, it was, you had these states saying, no, we're not paying guys. And then they started seeing that they were losing recruiting battles because of it. And they were like, okay, yeah, we're going to be all in on NIL. If you have certain states that are like, no, you know, we'll allow a no compete on a, essentially it would, this would be a quote unquote no compete. Every state is going to acknowledge it because kids aren't going to go there if they don't have a way out. You will start losing recruiting battles because of it. They're going to get sued. They're going to lose in this. And we will have some windows until you have a league that is collectively bargained. And that's why the NFL NBA major league baseball can have these windows of free agency, windows of trades. It's because they've been collectively bargained between the players and the league. Until that happens, it's going to be the free for and they're going to make it worse before it gets better back to one window. And you're going to get sued and sued and sued and it's not just a this, it's everything. And that's where I don't know if you've been paying attention to this, that there's been the, was it Dartmouth athletics was one of the first to unionize and they're now suing that the local SEIU is now suing Dartmouth over what they called it unfair labor practices. And that is probably going to set a precedent for the general framework that you're going to see for a CBA and college sports. Yeah, but Dartmouth and the Ivy League are so different, but because you, you, they're non scholarship. No, they're just players, but they have used their frameworks for the breakouts that they've done to basically everything else. I take very little credence to what the Ivy League does because they can, you and a lawyer will treat it, be like they're on a different planet. They're, they're an Ivy League school, these aren't scholarship players. They're binding agreements have so many outs in them that it's ridiculous because they're not scholarship and their NIL is not anywhere comparable to another institution. You have to separate those, right? And so now Northwestern is a different example. Northwestern, if they get their full union, then now we're talking and that's a completely different animal because they offer scholarships, they get big NIL, they have a seat at the big boys table and that could really be the big changer. But hey, the right lawyer, a good lawyer, sure as hell, I can win that one. Absolutely. It's going to be interesting. So just something to kind of keep a little track of is one case after another, after another, after another continues to pummel the NCAA and punch them in the face again and again. Do you say that I enjoy this is an understatement? Yes, it is. All right. Come up next, we are continuing our college world rivalry trophy bracket breakdown as we have 16 teams in the, you know, in the 16 round of 16, we will go through all eight match-ups school and went to English school. We'll get to that in some more English lessons come in here in our number three on Danny and Dusty, Danny and the fan. Didn't expect to see those little fuzzy balls presented by T-Mobile, the official wireless partner of Odyssey Sports with an awesome network and great savings.
