Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:33):
All love, all love, wow all day.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
What do you get when you cross a know it
all newspaper columnist with an awkward, unsophisticated every man.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, well, I'm just not sure about that right now.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Welcome to Couch and the Room.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Welcome to Couch in the Room. Our Wednesday show presented
by our friends at Front forty three neighborhood pub and
Cask and Company Kitchen and Bar near the Lanting East
Lansing border on East Saginaw. My wife was there Monday
with some friends. Brought me home one of my favorite dishes,
the Big Island Bowl, and they've got incredible sushi dish,

(02:14):
sushi dishes, also burgers, flatbreads, beer selection, and I love
being at Front forty three and Cask and Company to
adjoining restaurants, different vibes, incredible place to watch a game,
to hang out. But the next best thing is having
Front forty three and Cask a Company brought to me
to go and you can do that. You know you

(02:35):
disorder on the website. You can also make reservations there
at cascincompany dot com. But I highly recommend swinging on by.
I think I'm gonna catch them. Premier League action very
shortly there with our friend Andrew Gatier from Groovy Donuts
as well. Jason, how you doing, brother? Pound the Bushes,
Guna Yaba Gita, Jared Goff.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
What's up man? How you doing? I'm good?

Speaker 6 (02:58):
Yeah, I'm good. Okay, No, I'm bummed. My friends lost
their jobs today. Had a couple of friends in the
podcast industry, you know, Harry Brother, Brye, Parlay Kid, I mean,
Cousin Sal will be fine. But the Against All Odds podcasts,
the last episode came out last night and I was
listening to it this morning. I was really bummed out
for those guys. Yeah, Bill Simmons, Man, that Bill Simmons

(03:22):
canceling their show.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
They've taken the hit for that.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Well, yeah, it sounds like they reorganized a bunch of
stuff over there because they got rid of the soccer
pot I love too, So there's a bunch of stuff
getting getting changed out.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah. No, suck.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Everybody's losing a favorite show from the Podfather, Bill Simmons.
These are the Podfather, right, Like, I get it, you
got to make certain decisions. What I don't understand is
how Cousin Sal, with his connections couldn't take that elsewhere.
I think cousin sal has a deal with Simmons because
he does the one Bill Simmons podcast that I love,
the pick the Liar Guess the lines on Football Sundays.

(03:54):
So I think he has a contract with Bill Simmons, right,
And it was like, hey, we need to get rid
of your game.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
You know. The hardest thing fingure you can go anywhere.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
I mean, we have a podcast, right, they could do
that podcast podcast elsewhere. The hardest thing about listening to
the last show is how depressed Harry was on it.
You could just hear his voice. Yeah, and you know,
I know we're gonna have Harry.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Harry's like me, he where's his like emotions on his sleeve?
So I know that.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah, you can't hide it because you know, oh,
you got to be professional and end on a good note.
I was like, I was like wondering because you know,
it made me think of our own show ending, because
this thing has to end at some point. I would
fucking hope here and I was like, I don't think
I want to do that kind of episode though. I
just hope the show just goes away like an Irish goodbye.
We just get out of here. And we you know,

(04:37):
I don't know, is that bad? I would like to
thank people, but I just I appreciate what they did,
but it just it was such a bummer them going
over like the best bits that they have done.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
This is how the show would end, though, it's gonna
end with Uh, It's gonna end with either US irish
goodbye or US just sobbing or US having our first
real knockdown, drag out argument. That's it and we just
walk off. We storm off after almost eleven hundred shows. Yeah,
that's how we're going to get into that argument.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, what could that be? The wow? Jesus Christ, I
long want to think about that.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
We're gonna have Harry on today and we're gonna do
some best bets, probably some golf bets, some baseball. I've
got soccer pre season best bets, some stuff, some season
bets that I am giving out this week, So we'll
do that.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
Have you gone over them though? Have you like looked
them over and make sure you know? I feel real
gas line? Okay, way way way good. I love what
I've got here. I'm listening to multiple podcasts. It's in
a multiple advice I now have formulated what I like
out of all of it, and and I've got it
to give to the listeners in a minute. And before
we before we get to that, we're gonna have g

(05:45):
fed he's known by on YouTube channels and he's known
many people. Garrett Fedo, whit's from Lansing, but he's known
to many people. Is the guy who does stadium tour,
sees how long he can stay in stadiums after games,
Sees if he can get on the field. He's doing
one hundred college football stadiums in one hundred days.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
It's of one.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
How is that possible? That's well, we'll ask him that
because it does. I don't want to blow the interview here.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Man, that's like now meaning like going to the stadiums
while they're like there doesn't obviously have to be a
game going on. He's just gonna sneak in. And that's
that's a good question because I think there are games
every day. Yeah, yeah, i' write that down. Good question,
good question, good question.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
No.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
The guy's got you know, fifty thousand YouTube subscribers. He's
real popular. Can you tell us how to do that?
That's the that should be the first question. That's really why, yeah,
do we.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Have to strap a go pro to fucking couch here
to get fifty thousand subscribers. I think we're at like
thirteen hundred and we're like, get excited when there's eighteen
new subscribers.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Oh fantastic.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
YouTube is the most depressing plays on the planet for
a podcast. Our size, well for people put the effort
we do, I mean we put enough, but we don't.
We don't live there like he does. Like he there's
a lot of we deserve the effort that we put
it right, right, that's what we get.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
That's that's that's fair.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, I'm looking forward, looking forward to uh to our
conversation with him uh as well. And he's a lancing guy.
I mean I don't didn't live here anymore but from
here originally. So just another lancing guy doing extremely well.
Do you want to get him on the phone and
we'll get that rolling. As Jason's getting getting Garrett on

(07:17):
the phone. A reminder of Front forty three and casking
company for like this is the place that when people
ask me where should I take people?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
There? In town?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
They're in town for a Michigan State football game. They're
in an East Lanting in Lancing where I can trust
the experience. That's what I love about it. I love
it Front forty three for they can trust the food,
the vibe, a place you can watch games. Two different
vibes with the Front forty three and Casking Company great men.
You go to Cascingcompany dot com and of course check
out their happy hour specials, underrated patio just a good

(07:46):
place and the original couch in the Roop sponsor, which
is one of my You know, look, they're a place
that chose us as much as we chose them when
when nobody really believed in us or knew us, and
before many of our before we had many of you
listening to us at that at that time. Are we

(08:11):
all set with Garrett perfect? Perfect well? Very pleased now
to bring in Garrett Fedowa, a son of Lancing. Fellow
son of Lancing goes by g fed That's how most
of you know him on his YouTube channel. On other platforms,
you know, be at TikTok, Instagram x. Many of you
will know him from the seeing how long he can

(08:33):
stay in stadiums, seeing if he can get on the
field at different stadiums around the country. Be at Spartan Stadium,
be at the LA Coliseum, be it Madison Square, guard
in Boston College, wherever it might be. It is one
of my favorite things to scroll through. And I can
you know, I don't know if it's been since I've
gotten a real Hamilton fix that I've done as much
like scrolling on the toilet watching somebody or something is

(08:56):
I do right now? So Garrett, thank you for that
and welcome.

Speaker 7 (09:01):
Yeah, appreciate you guys, thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
So.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
First of all, I'd love to know a little about
your journey, because how did this happen? Are you sitting
in you know, economics class at Lansing Catholic and you know,
ten years ago thinking, man, at some point this is
what I want to do or how does this come
to be?

Speaker 7 (09:23):
Honestly, not as much as I think people would think,
I'm not really the type of person that ever really
had major aspirations to do social media stuff, Like I
went to I went to Western Michigan for business school.
I thought I was kind of going to do like
the corporate route this whole time on the business path.
But that job that I did it involved a lot

(09:44):
of traveling. I traveled to a few different stadia to
see them in my own time and didn't even post
them on the Internet at that point. And then around
March twenty twenty three, that's why I started getting i'd
say talking a little bit more. I started to find
out you can get to make videos on TikTok. I
saw some people doing it, so I figured, this seems
like a good creative outlet for me to get some

(10:07):
stuff out there. So I started doing just regular you know,
takes green screen content from my basement for like the
first four months, and then I had a day on
a work trip. I was actually in laere Me, Wyoming,
where the University of Wyoming is, and to take a
break from my regular content, I decided to see if
I guess walk on the field at Wyoming and film

(10:29):
myself doing it. That picked up pretty well, so I
figured when I got back to Chicago, where I'm based
at now, I got to make a few more of
those videos. So I watched Northwestern that video did really well,
drove down in Illinois the same day, drove over to
Notre Dame the next day, and that's when opportunities really
started to comment and it became a real thing.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
The idea of staying on the field staying in the
stadium as long as you could. Where did that come from?
And those are some of I mean, I find myself
two things. I think one of the things you do
well is it's it's the delivery and it's the tour
you take us on. Right when you're trying to see
if you can get on the field at the La
Colicy and like you find yourself just rooting for you
and thinking, well, that's I see, that's a gate that locked,

(11:12):
but he's going to find something. And then staying in there,
you've you've done a good job of making the listener.
I don't know, I feel like they're there, but I'm
wondering where that idea came from.

Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah, So the How Long Time I Stay a series
that started probably two weeks after the walk On Challenge,
and the walk On Challenge is going great, but on
short form content, you gotta be posting pretty consistently, and
with a nine to five at that time, doing that
kind of content Monday through Friday was pretty toss to
think of something on my toes and think it's something

(11:44):
I could do at pro stadiums because pro statius, you
can't really do a walk on Challenge. I got twenty
four seven security. It doesn't work. So that was my
idea kind of to one be able to do some
stuff around Chicago like wrig Lear Field at Great Field.
Now we're get the teams involved in that regard and
go from there. So that's that's why I did that.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
You've got you're doing a new venture on YouTube this
this fall, one hundred stadiums in one hundred days starting
with the opening weekend of college football. The first question is, like,
I mean logistically, and I've watched sort of your preview
advancing it, and you've got sort of an outline that
could obviously change. It seems to me like, you know,

(12:28):
it could become a pretty quick logistical nightmare. And how
many of those stadiums are you hoping are on game day? Like,
are they or on some sort of you know, some
sort of game happening. Take us through the process of
that a little bit.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:43):
So based on my outline like that, the anchor is
going to be a college football I want to go
to you know, NFL, MLB, NBA, They're going to make
those appearances when there's not college football games to be at.
But the anchor is going to be a college football,
and for Bill which of it when there isn't going
to be a college football game. Of course, that's pretty
good other sports involved. But also I've made one hundred

(13:05):
stadiums and not one hundred games. I thought I was
gonna do a hundred games at first, but I've done
a lot of good stuff when teams have invited me
out to go see their facility and things like that.
So I think I've already had a few school step up,
a few athletes I've gotten in my DMS, things like
that that want to like take me around. So I
think some of those off days might feel like a

(13:26):
walk on challenge stadium to or vibe where I'm going
to get a little bit better access for everybody, a
little bit higher production stuff to get out there and
do that over the course of the week.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Does it?

Speaker 4 (13:38):
I mean, you're pretty recognizable now, Like if you were
walking in the stadium. I think there's got to be
a decent chance that even a security guard is going
to know who you are and what you're up to do.
You run into people from time to time who sort
of foil the plot a little bit because they know
exactly who you are, and maybe that helps and they
just let you stick around. But do you run into
that Now I'm be more recognizable.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
Yeah, I do run into a lot, and thankfully I have.
It's helped me more than it's hurt me. I would say,
I feel really good about saying this because I feel
like some fuel of wife received me as a nuisance.
But in my experience, face and face of people, a
lot of security team, especially the lower level guys, are
running section. They all they all pick my content and

(14:23):
I've gotten a lot of good love from them. So
that's that's been great as far as that side goes.
But it is it is a challenge to, you know,
do all of this traveling and kind of keep where
I'm at behind closed doors before I go somewhere to
make it all work. If I tell people where I'm
gonna be before i'm there, that's when I run into problems.
So part of the reason I'm doing the Hunter saves

(14:44):
one hundred days every time I drop these videos of
good comments saying like man, I wish I'm could to
sell you at this game. I was at this game.
I wish I could, you know, link up, do whatever.
And I think I have more to gain now by
letting people know where I'm at, so they could plan
around that. So we can, you know, do beat ups,
meet up with teams, get a little bit more access
versus me trying to do the same videos I've already

(15:05):
done at now every stadium in college football at VS level.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah, you've been to all of them, and I think
that's very few.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
I mean, that's why that's the only one I still got.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Okay, and I don't think you're missing much there. I
don't know you've been to other stadiums there. I mean,
it's just not WHI Honolulu itself is overrated and that
sounds really snobbish as somebody has been Hawaii multiple times.
But yeah, let's all right, Well take me through, like
you know, I mean, I know you've done Spartan Stadium.
I know you've done the whole Big ten. You've done everybody, right,

(15:37):
So a lot of people have issues with Spartan Stadium,
who are Michigan State fans. I think it's just this
Eastern European block cement place that just doesn't have a
lot of charm anymore. I think a lot of that
has to do with the losing that's happened recently. But
when you, what do you think of Spartan Stadium? What's
your sort of impression of it relative to other places.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
I just don't think it has a lot of character.
I think that the side of me you already said,
it's pretty close to what mine is. I think that
there's a lot that could be done to just spruce
the place up a bit and make it have more
of an identity. Like what do you think is far
in stadium? Like what what's the first thing that comes
to mind that's like a calling card of it? Because
I don't have one. I think a lot of stadiums.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Do and melting moments ice cream sandwiches for me, but otherwise, yeah,
that's not really the stadium. Yeah, yeah, that is an issues.
So what is your favorite Big ten stadium? And it
doesn't have to be like the best, like the one
that you just found the most charm, Like, this is
a place I would if I was a season ticket holder,
I could really enjoy.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
I hate I hate to say it because they just
got into the Big Ten, but I think a lot
of the packs we all bads are my favorite. I
think that Washington and Oregon as far as like routinely
going to games there, that might be my one and two.
Like the Shoes really cool in historic Penn State. Of
course a giant. The Big House is giant, but I
mean like the Big House, you're really packed in there

(17:04):
on straight bleachers and there's not really that much two
of them, the Big Bowl, the whole The Shoe in
Ohio state is suit like that. That age of that
stadium shows really bad. And I mean when you get
out west you get the nice views, you get the
water at Washington, Oregon has like really good like greenery
and forestry around their stadium too, that it is like

(17:25):
not just around it, but in the actual concourse as well.
I think if I'm thinking like routinely going to a
stadium I would say those two in the Pacific Northwest
are the two best.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
How about nationally a place of charm.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
That you loved, I mean yeah, I mean those are
up there nationally as well. I think that like some
of the more expected ones, LSU is the biggest stadium
in person I've ever seen, just because it goes so
high up Texas A and now is pretty close in
that regard as well. And then a few sleepers the

(18:00):
ones that like I think people just don't think about
it is being nice stadiums because their programs aren't as historic,
but they're just really nice spots to watch games. Is
I really like the stadium they got down in Louisville.
I've had some really good times down there, And I
was actually really really impressed with North Carolina Stadium in
Chapel Hill. I think they got a really nice dick
a keenan.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
What's the.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Give me the worst stadium or worst experience you've had
doing this? Like, is there a place that because sometimes
that can lend to it too where it's just you've
been how you were treated or the whole place. Just
the worst experience you've had.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
The worst experience is definitely at Georgia. Georgia is the
one school that like really took an issue with my content.
I've had like you know, rough conversations and whatnot, and
people tell me I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing.
But like they're They're the one school that like actually
like we got to get like police involved in stuff,
and like no one else in the FBS did it
about them, So yeah, they they're easily number one for me.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
So what was their issue?

Speaker 7 (19:00):
I just walked through an open gate and they were
all of a sudden they didn't lock it. Most of
the schools that care are good at locking their gates.
I just walk away. But there's very few that care
more than they care about actually doing their job, and
they're one to them.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
See people, stadiums get this wrong. I mean, it used
to be you could walk onto a lot more stadiums,
and that's part of the charm of it. I mean
I kicked a twenty four yard field goal with a
nerve field goal or with the nerve football at the
Maryland's football stadium when my sister was a grad school
there years and years ago, and like, that's not even
a good stadium, but for me, it has this level
of charm to it because I kicked a twenty four

(19:35):
yard field goal with a nerve football like in that experience.
And so I look at Maryland different. I just think,
you know, I don't know, it just doesn't seem like
that big a deal. It used to be able to
walk on more of these places.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
That is true for sure. And there is no rhyme
or reason really for what schools they're gonna like have
high security with their stadium of what. Well a good
example that I give to people is the University of
Florida the Swamp. They have open hours like all all
day during during business hours during the week, like you

(20:05):
can just show up and run stairs or whatever. The
Swamp has to be a top like ten fifteen stadium
within like recognizability in the entire country. So like, I
feel like if they can do that, then anyone can
do it. It's definitely a choice.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
That's a great point. And in most of these places
are you know, public to some degree, you know, I
don't at how about a mid major stadium place that
just had incredible charming and I'm guessing the Kibbi dome
and falling out of FBS before you started doing this, correct.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yeah, yeah, Kivvy domes FCS. So that's all the domes
in the SCS. So shout out to that Northern Iowa
North Dakota state. They're all really fun. No, so here
you're dumb too. I didn't get inside of that. That's
another great one. But as far as like actual G
five man, I mean, Liberties in Virginia is like really
really nice. They put a lot of work into that.

(20:55):
Of the top of my head. After in the MAC
they we have the best Max Stadium. It's the better
football is game played there. But their stadium's great. And
then into like I mean the course of the Mountain West,
you like they got some of the best ones just
with the scenery and whatnot. I think the scenery at
Utah Stay is the best in the G five.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Yeah, Akrons new stadium.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
I've covered games and Akron and also at the Rubber
Bowl their old stadium, which was not not nearly as
nice for that charm. But the thing that sticks out
to that is I just remember another sports writer having
the worst BO I can ever remember at the Akron
or the old Akron football statu Like to this day,
if I think about Akron football, I think about bo
and the Rubber Bowl. It's it's just it just uh yeah,
it stands out.

Speaker 7 (21:36):
So yeah, it's good.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
No, you're fifty thousand subscribers on YouTube. That's a that's
a pretty good number.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
Are you? Are you?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I'm guessing you're able to do this full time now?
And how do you? How did that? I mean, you've
grown it pretty quickly in a couple of years here.
When did you know you really really had something? And
and is this a full time for you now?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Right? Yeah, so I started doing this. I actually went
full time a little bit quicker than most people probably should.
I started like consistently posting content. March twenty twenty three,
I went full time. I cover twenty twenty three, which
was about two and a half months after the walk
On Challenge started, and I went full time because once,

(22:22):
I mean, YouTube spent pretty solid as far as bringing
in an AD revenue and whatnot. But TikTok also has
a pretty good AD revenue program. And with my following,
Therapyan ten times with YouTube is the money's also been
not ten times as much, but this has been a
little bit more. And then also just with having a
good following, you started to do brand deals and whatnot.
It brings the money as well. And I got a

(22:45):
deal with odd Shark. They did one with me for
four months before I went full time. That was enough
money that like, no matter what has with the AD revenue,
I'm coming in. I had like that base at least,
So I gave myself four months with that deal and
kind of figure like what that in place, and then
of course all the places I had to go keep

(23:05):
it the ball rolling going across the country, picked up
pockets of followers ever where I go. That was just
kind of a method where it's like, I think I
can take off my job and just get paid to
do this for at least like a year or so,
and we've done that now and now we're on to
the next thing.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Not it's very cool. If you had advice for people,
maybe even a show you're on right now about building
YouTube following, what would it be Because there are a
lot of people who'd love to do things like you do.
Very few people do it as well as you've done it.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
YouTube is very tough and takes a lot of time
and effort. If you're willing to put the time and
effort into YouTube like the views will come. Of course,
you want to have a halfway decent personality, but it
is a lot of time and effort. I think the
best advice I can give your social media in general, though,
once you can get a ten thousand followers on TikTok,
that's when you can start getting paid, and that's when

(23:55):
you can start making stuff that takes a lot less
time than making a full YouTube video would. So I
would tell anyone start with TikTok, do whatever you guy,
do you to get a ten thousand follow wer started
making some extra money on the side as you got
to build that up and then transfer that audience into
like a YouTuber a twist as something more and more

(24:15):
long term, or a podcast.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
I have to say my favorite videos are you know,
when you wind up at a really cool like field
house that's attached to the football stadium. I think those
are the ones I love. It's like this bonus content,
you know that's like, oh, Boston College right had a
I think it was Boston College had a you know,
the stadiums right there. It's or you have to get
in through the fieldhouse. Those are my my absolute favorites.

(24:39):
You do what what is I don't know what like
the days you really really enjoy what makes you enjoy it?

Speaker 5 (24:47):
What? What is your favorite thing about doing this?

Speaker 7 (24:50):
So one thing that I've really like to do is
I'd like to give some exposure to some school some
places that are really really cool that are just never
really going to get the TV time that the bigger
programs do, especially in this current climate of college forest,
which has been most of my focus. I love college sports.

(25:11):
You kind of feel like you get eighty ninety percent
out of the coverage on like twenty thirty teams or
ever in the Big ten or SEC. But you still
have so many big fan bases. I mean we're talking
the biggest school in some states even that thousands and
thousand people go to that, like no one's ever really
talking about. And I think it's really cool that I
would like to think I'm one of the few people

(25:31):
that could show up to like a North Texas or
in eastern Michigan or in Idaho or whatever it might
be and really get some meaningful viewership for them and
they appreciate it the same way. And I think that's
that's a fun thing that I've been able to do.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
So in this in this next venture, the hundred stadiums
in one hundred days, You're people can subscribe to YouTube
channel g fed at YouTube and then also there's going
to be an extra extra level for people who want
to subscribe for paying subscribers.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yeah, yeah, So like the schedule was intentionally loose. One
thing I actually did in February I went to my
most like comment every day for a week and people
have a lot of fun with that game involved in
giving me some places to go. So like, even if
things do crumble as long as I'm in my car
and willing to drive wherever I need to go to
be somewhere, we can make a lot of fun stuff

(26:26):
happen and have a lot of surprises along the way.
So this is the pay subscription that's going to be
more so to like funnel down like an entire comment section,
to like a group that's more manageable, and that's when
final decisions are going to be made. I'm like what
the mowers are going to be week by week, That's
what I'm using that for. But main content is going
to be on YouTube. Then of course short form we're

(26:46):
gonna be moved out along in real time and the
YouTube is going to be a couple of days behind.
So I got sent to an editor and it'll screw
stuff to look good.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
So well, Garrett, I've enjoyed the conversation, man, I look
forward to following along and hopefully try to go soon.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Yep, thanks so much, appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
That is Garrett Fedowa, Lancing Zone, son of Lancing g
fed on YouTube, TikTok and you know Twitter x everywhere.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
And I feel like there's a lot of Feedowa's like
around our area, Lancing area, can we fix that and post? No,
it was an interesting I gotta say first, you sent
that over yesterday and you're like, hey, we're thinking about
having Garrett on, and I watched the video, I'm like,
all right, man, if you could make this interesting, I
thought it was interesting. Good for Garrett to make that

(27:34):
thing like to where you can just quit your job
and travel around and do that. So I thought it
is definitely there's an interesting element to it. I just
didn't think that you would have the ability to have
that much access, like to one of the stadiums. And
for me, I just can't wait to get out of
a place that I've been at for like four hours,
especially if you're tailgating right like I just I don't know,

(27:55):
I just can't wait to get out of there. So
when I see him lingering around, I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
It's it's amazing the things you get emotionally invested in,
like he's in, Like at that Tampa Bay Rays game,
seeing how long you can stay in the stadium after
the game's over, and you're like, you see a security
guy like oh shit, but he goes the other way
and you know, and like the other day I was
watching the the LA Coliseum one uh, and it just
looked like there was no way in and then all
of a sudden.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Like starts climbing the wall. No, there's just this.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
One, you know, tunnel entrance that you know, there's some
security people, but they don't really care that much.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
And you know, he's if you act like you know
that you belong there, that goes a long way.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
See. I could never do that because my.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Wife, and you know, I've known her for eight years
and she's always the first person that the other shoe
is gonna drop if we're doing anything the farious. It's like,
so I have that instilled in my brain. So any
you know, if I saw a security guy like, ohoo,
looks like we got to go.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
I would never do it.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
My wife does not like to be scolded, so we
could not. We could not do this sort of we're being.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Scolded for being in a place where you're not supposed
to be correct with someone who's just annoyed at the day,
you know, and he.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Never he's never confrontational like a security guards or everything.
That's never the you know, you're never like trying to
ruin people's day if you get told to leave. Yet
he leaves, you know.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
Although the subscribers would be way through the roof if
he did every time get into some conflict.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
I feel like eventually places would stop invite are wanting
you there. It would become you have like your picture
up when you first got there, your classic catch twenty two.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
It's like, you can have all of these subscribers and followers,
or you know, and be viewed as a dickhead, or
do it the way he's doing it, where you're respectful
to the people.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
And they don't mind it as much.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Garrett fed and apparently I've been mispronouncing that last name
because I they're like, they're realtors in this area. They're
big people. I've been calling him federalwizzed for years. Feet away,
I thought, I don't know how bad with that?

Speaker 5 (29:37):
You know, well, I should ask that. I thought I
just knew it.

Speaker 6 (29:39):
I've been He didn't correct you either, By the way,
I love that you should on Hawaii though he's like,
I haven't been to hawaiis like, oh, you're not missing anything.
The only guy to say you're not missing anything. Anyone
else you talk to is like, oh, man, I really
would like to go to Hawaii. I'd just give my
left leg to go to Hawaii and couches this. I've
been a couple of times. You're not missing anything.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
Well, No, what I would say is is Hawaii itself,
like Maui other place is incredible, totally worth it, bucket
list trips. You're saying Honolulu that island or Honolulu City,
you know, the the main island that people go to,
the where the University of Hawaii is, and there are
some cool things on it. I'm not saying it's all bad,
but it's not quite. It's not quite the paradise you

(30:20):
think it is easily, you know what I mean, Like,
it just isn't. It's it's a big city. It's a
really big city. And so if your expectations are that
it's not that there aren't you know.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
There's other big cities and you know, like Chicago that
you know are ass at least you're in Hawaii.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
I would I would say this. I think the lake
front in Chicago, especially some of the lake from beaches,
but the lakefront in Chicago is better than Honolulu's ocean front.
There are fewer apple it's less. Yeah, it's not. It's
not great.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
Now the rest MAUI incredible and I've got buy I
sound like this like privileged.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Telling people you grind on Saturdays. I'm there for like
sixteen hours. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Man.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Yeah, that's really not great. One of my favorite things
to be honest. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Well, maybe we can check back in with Garrett that
I guess if he's making money, and maybe he can
help us out with our YouTube channel. He said it's
a lot of work though, Yeah, no, that's where he
loses us. And then we have to have a personality
to match, and it's like stalk is where we need
to be. Fuck yeah really yeah, I don't know if
I can do TikTok. We'll have to look into that.
We have to look into that possibility.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Willing to, I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yeah, Well, we are going to take a quick break.

our favorite and formerly of Against All Odds. And I

(34:41):
hate saying that, Harry. I mean I have to say,
listening to the final episode, your voice sounded so down.
I almost almost I felt down like it was it was.
I could feel your discontentment on it.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
By the way, well, thanks guys, you know and you know,
and I appreciate it and it's a uh it was.
It's I don't feel like it should be over. I'm
you know, I'm still trying to figure and scratching my
head about it. But eight years is a great run
if you include all the Against All Odds and the
FanDuel TVs and the Race to Tends that we did,

(35:16):
and the Spotify shows on Thursday Night Football We've done,
Me Cutting Salt Brother Bryan the Parlay Kid have done
over a thousand shows, and uh, like, I just want
to say that, you know, I appreciate you guys too.
I thank you guys on the pot for you know,
me being able to advertise Against All Odds on the

(35:36):
Couch and the Roop Show and definitely got a ton
of fans on X and and listen and I'm listening
to Against All Odds from the Schrater Michigan Detroit area.
So I want to thank you guys, and hopefully somehow,
some way, you know, maybe next year or something, we

(35:57):
can come back in a different network or something different cape,
different different possibilities to keep it going, because it's gonna
suck not being able to you know, joke around with
the guys like we do and have fun all the
time was great stuff, and.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
I'm gonna have to fast forward right to the thank
you for us a nice Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Yeah, it was very very it was very it was
very touching. But I just see it.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
I can't understand it, Harry, because everybody's texted me now
they're like, well, why can't cousin Sale keep this thing going?
I don't know what deal he has with Simmons, but
it just seems like in a world where this show
can exist, Your guys Show Against All Odds is one
of my favorite podcasts, especially with a football season coming up.
I think that's what what was the major gut punch.
It's like, wait a minute, we are like a month,

(36:40):
a couple of weeks away from the NFL season, which,
Harry is unbelievable. Had I need my picks, Like, why
can't we keep this thing going? So hopefully you guys
can figure something out. I can't imagine.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
You know, it's it's been a great outpouring on Twitter today.
I mean, it's more than I thought people would respond
and it's only, uh, you know, it's only eleven o'clock
in the morning here on the West Coast, so uh interesting,
great stuff from everybody tweeting out there and kind of
you know, wantting to know answers, and I still don't
have them myself. So but again, you know, it's just

(37:10):
it's been. It's it's fun and uh yeah and hopefully
you know, you guys will still want me at and
we can still do picks.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
And I want you on more than couch. What are
you talking about? Of course, full ship. We'll fight over that.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
That's that. Yeah, yeah, why don't you.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Just tell him we've been together. The three of us
have done the show for probably what, guys since I
was an odd probably six.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Years ago, right, yeah, I think it was before the pandemic.
It's hard to remember everything sort of in a yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Uh, always a blast with you guys too.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Yeah, well, give out Bill Simmons numbers so we can
all tell you let's do that. Let's do that, right, yeah,
I don't know, Yeah, well all right, well let's do
let's let's do some picks here, let's let's let's just
do some fun. And you know, this is a the
show before the Premiere League begins, So I've got some

(38:02):
Premier League picks, but I you know, do we want
to start there? Do you guys have Okay, okay, I
have golf. I don't have many, but I have golf.
So well, Harry, Harry has has some golf and some
other things. Well, but I'll start with this, and you
guys can and and uh. I actually really like a
couple of Harry's got some like college football prop uh
stuff that I'm excited about. But I will start here.

(38:26):
We'll start with the the appetizer, so to speak. All Right,
best soccer futures parlay PSG to win win the French
League League Young with Byron Munich to win the bundes League.
Parlay it. It's minus two seventy five as a parlay.
But you tell me what it would take for PSG

(38:47):
or Byron Munich not to win this year. And look
at Leverkusen's not going to do it and this they've
lost a lot. It's not gonna the bond. This league
is going to be Byron Munich. PSG is going to be.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Now if you need to, if you want to have
a little less you know, money tied up just to
win minus two seventy five, you can throw in Arsenal
top four in the Premier League, which is gonna happen
and it'll be minus one fifty nine, or you could
throw Chelsea top four and get the plus one seventeen.
I love both of those bets, so there's ways to
bring down the juice a little bit. But PSG and

(39:18):
Byron Munich are are are sure things. Just absolutely love
it all right. Next one Marseille top three in France,
even money, just I love that Marseille team. I'm a
big fan of it. Trent Alexander twelve to one top
assists in La Liga's that's another one I'm a huge

(39:42):
fan of I would Juventus over inter Milan is another
one head to head that I love. And then when
you go to England, Chelsea top four, which is like
one you know, still it's minus one seventy five. It's
a little bit now, but there's a clear top four,
Aston Villa top six, bright In top six is even

(40:03):
bigger money, and then Everton top half. Those are my
absolute favorite. Have been faster just telling us who you
don't like.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
No, but that I'm just giving you. When I am betting,
this is where I am playing minus two seventy five plays.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
This is where I am putting on money. I might
sprinkle on man, you under fifty nine and a half
points and maybe some Brentford relegation as well. But that
is where that is where I'm putting my money. Those
are my favorite soccer futures for this year.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I will say this though, Graham and Jay, I'm just
I know, I know you just made a little joke
about the minus two seventy five. But if you're gonna
lay minus two seventy five, Graham's got the parlay right there.
That doesn't that just doesn't lose. And minus I know
it's you gotta lay the lumber here, but minus two
seventy five, that doesn't lose.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Yeah, there's there's no way. Free money, is what you're saying. Yeah,
it's free money. It's just a lot to tie up,
is what I'm saying. It's not you're not gonna get
till May. You're not gonna get it back till May.
Oh Jesus. Okay, that's that's the thought that was this weekend. No, No,
there's this super fuwe this season season. Yeah, this is
the season bets. So Byron me I have to sweat.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
I gotta have to have two hundred and seventy five
dollars of equity from my bank account.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
You're not up, You're not, but you're not gonna sweat.
That's the thing.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
This thing is on to day I'm gonna wake I'm
gonna wake up to a HUNDI. Yeah, and you're gonna
know it by like February. Yeah, you're gonna be safe.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
We pull our money together and just throw it onto
It's good. And I'm telling you.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
I also like the idea like Arsenal top four is
not it is gonna happen. Like you look at the
Premier League this year, it's pretty much a clear top
four and Arsenal top four is for sure gonna happen.
That gets it to minus one fifty nine if you
throw it in there, if you if you'd rather do
Chelsea top four, which I think is a great bet too.
It's at plus one seventeen instead of minus two seventy
five just doing it with those other two. So like,

(41:44):
I think those are great ways to uh to to
have to make a little money uh this Premier League
season and have some some long term season bets.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, that's where I could throw in twenty bucks. Now
that I don't have a job.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
You should have a job.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
By May though, you know, I hope yeah, well, or
maybe this bet could be how you if you put
in two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars on this bet, Harry,
you could you could have one hundred grand and you
wouldn't even need a job.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
That's smart. That's why, that's why you're the smart one, bro.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Yeah, let's do that all right.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Before we get to the golf bets, some some Harry,
You've got some some some NFL and uh and uh
college football, yeah, uh, player props and things for going
into the season, starting with James Connor. Give me, give
me what you've got here.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, this is like I'm wondering what you guys think
of these. I got a couple of NFL and then
I got uh got Heisman Peck as well for college.
But uh, being here that I live in the Greater
Phoenix area, scoping out and hearing a lot of things
about the Cardinals, and I'm gonna go James Connor under
under nine and a one hundred and a half rushing

(43:05):
yards at minus one fourteen. Look, I think this is
a fishy number, guys, And we know what to do
when we see fishy spreads. Considering Connor's last two seasons
yards wise, has been his best in his eight year career.
But he's now thirty years old and he's played more
than thirteen games just two times in the last seven

(43:26):
years in the league. And I really think the Cardinals
are gonna show a lot of Tray Bentson out there.
Trey Benton is going to get a lot of the
burn in his second season in the league. They planned
him a lot. The other night against Kansas City. He
look quick, you look back. I think he's gonna get
a lot of carries this year, take away from Connor's carries.

(43:47):
Plus you know he's They also have twenty six year
old Michael Carter, who's finally healthy, was drafted in the
first round a couple of years back by the Jets. Again,
like I said, Connor shares the duty in the backfield
with those two guys, and I think he goes under
the nine hundred yards even in the last two years
he's actually hit one thousand. I think he takes a

(44:07):
big depth this year. Connor's under nine hundred.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yards rushing written down and we'll be bett. Thank you, Harry.
You also you like Chase for most TDS.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
I do it's seven to one. Look, you guys know
that in the past couple of weeks when we've discussed football.
I'm big on the Bengals this year. He got paid
in the offseason, so he's been taken care of. He
led the NFL last year with seventeen. I think at
seven to one is pretty decent value. And Joe Burrow,
his quarterback, is coming off his best season statistically so far.

(44:42):
They even went for a touchdown in the preseason game
when the main quarterback and the main receiver never get
touchdowns in the preseason. And look at some other guys
around the league. Terry McLaurin was second last year with thirteen,
but we know his current contract issues in the Nation's Capital.
Same frown of the Lions, which third best, but he's
dealing with a new offensive coordinator. We'll see that goes.
And in Minnesota, Jordan Adison suspended for the first three games,

(45:05):
so you really can't count him in the mix. And
Justin Jefferson dealing with managing that hamstring injury that's been
nagging him and a rookie quarterback is kind of in
JJ McCarthy. So again, if it's if the Cincinnati defense
isn't what it is like it was last year, and
it's going to be burrowed to the rescue. Him and
Chase are going to have a monster season together.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Before we get to this, this Heisman pick that I
think MSU fans will find interesting, and I will say
that I've done a little sprinkling here as well, the
let's do this super Bowl pick because I think these
are really good odds for the for the bet you
have here.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Yeah, again, like I said, I'm on Cincinnati. I'd like
them to play Philadelphia in the Super Bowl at forty
five to one. If you want Cincinnati to win the
game against Philadelphia, I've seen one hundred to one. Again,
I mentioned thing about Cincinnati and what I like about
their offense. I also think Chase Brown is gonna have

(46:05):
a monster season. Had fifty four catches last year for Cincinnati. He's,
you know, the guy out of Illinois a couple of
years now, guys, as you well know, he is ready
for a breakout season. Defensively, they're still not great Cincinnati,
but because they still haven't Ty Hunderson, but they still
have time to do. Sucher led the league in sacks
last year, they still have Logan Wilson four straight seasons

(46:28):
of one hundred plus tackles. And on the Philadelphia side,
they were first in rushing, you know, because they have
possibly the greatest offensive line in football. Barkley was amazing.
They got aj Dillon into solid backup. No one can
stop the touch Bush and until they can't, I'm still
until they can, I'm still taking Philadelphia Hurts double digit

(46:50):
rushing touchdowns four straight seasons at least ten or more.
On the defensive side, I love that court. The linebacker
Zach Brown, he was six and tackles lads last year,
and the Eagles defense last year, guys was first in
yards against in the league by thirty three yards over
second place Tennessee. I'm taking Philadelphia and the Bengals to

(47:12):
be in this year's Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
I think that's good value at forty five to one.
I mean, obviously Lions fans don't want to hear anything
about Philadelphia in the Super Bowl, but but it would
be a nice consolation if if you want.

Speaker 5 (47:23):
To Yaba Gita Jared Goff.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
All right, the lastly, this Heisman pick at twenty to one.
It may I think the odds have even even shortened
a little bit. I don't think it's it's an awful
pick here. It would it? Would you know, sting MSU
fans if it happened, or but if at least if
if Aiden Childs didn't doesn't have a comparable year. What

(47:51):
you got there in the Heisman?

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Yeah, Sam Lovett at twenty to one, I've got out
of ASU. Yeah. He spent some time up there with
with you guys and East Lansing for a little bit.
But I really like this kid. This team, this Arizona
State team basically came out of nowhere last year. Him
and Kenny Dillingham, head coach, have a great rapport. Seventeen

(48:15):
returning starters on this ASU team, and everyone loves his kid.

Speaker 7 (48:18):
Lovet.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
He got his nil money, guys, instead of just putting
right in the bank, what do he do with it?
He just shared it with his entire team. He gave
everybody a cut. He had almost three thousand yards last
year and his refreshman season twenty four touchdowns just six picks,
led the team to the college playoffs. Should have probably
be Texas would have probably beat Texas if they had

(48:41):
Jordan Tyson, who was their leading receiver last year who
was banged up at the time. He's gonna be back.
It's gonna be one hell of a one to two
combo here with those two tyson at eleven hundred yards
last year, ten touchdowns. We got a reliable tight end
that he can throw to. Two in Chamorrow matteyor last
two seasons he played at Cincinnati and SU had fifty
five receptions combined six hundred yards and ten touchdowns. They

(49:05):
got a three star freshman out of Dallas named Harry Hasseman.
We'll see how he does too. So sam Levitt's got
a lot of weapons to work with this team. Like
I said, a lot of returning starters. This team should
be as good, if not better than last year's. It's
gonna make fun watching this ASU team this year at
Sam Levitt twenty to one for the Heisman.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
So Bill Simmons is the anti Sam Lovitt because when
Sam Levit gets money, he shares it with his friends. Bingo,
you know what you said it I didn't, I can
say it, thank you.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
No. I like that.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
I think there's I think there's some something already sprinkled
on that. I think Sam Lovitt Guy Graham I'm a huge,
huge Sam Lovitt guy. Yep, huge sham Levit guy. Uh No,
that's that's that's really good stuff.

Speaker 5 (49:51):
Harry.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
Uh You guys both have some golf bets for this weekend. Jason,
whyte you go? First year?

Speaker 5 (49:56):
What we got all right? Boys?

Speaker 6 (50:03):
Not too many bets here. I got two bets just
because we're getting down to where there's no cuts and
fifty of the best players in the world are playing,
so it gets kind of crazy at this end of
the season. Here, So let's do a top twenty two
golfer two leg parlay here pays out plus three eighty three.
First golfer sun Jam currently ranked thirty fourth, outside the
top thirty cutoff for east Lake next week, so he's

(50:26):
gonna be playing with a little gumption there. He's gonna
want to finish top ten there. I have met top
twenty a win with Vault him, like I said, into
the Tour Championship, in secure major invites for twenty twenty six.
Him also has a history of peaking late in playoff
runs and thrives, and he's no cut events. My next
golfer in this two leg parlay Kurt Kittiyama. He's having

(50:47):
a hell of a twenty twenty five, won the three
M and T nine at Saint Jude last week, and
his ball striking is elite off the charts, ranking top
fifteen in shots gain off the tee and approach. Kurt
Kittiama Sun JM two leg top twenty plus three eighty
three and my other bet, I usually don't do this, Graham,

(51:11):
First round leader. I like to sprinkle here and there,
especially when you get at the end when things get
a little wonky. Here forty to one, little sprinkle, first
round leader. See if someone can fire off here Taylor Pendrith.
He teas off at nine to fifty four, and that's
key because a lot of guys in the early wave
they can catch a low score. He opened with a

(51:32):
sixty five two weeks ago, and if he needs something
around there, maybe a sixty three to take that forty
to one down. Just like I said, just a little
sprinkle and we have two bets there for this week's BMW.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Jason, with that music, you could tell me to put
fifty bucks on my mom that win the first round,
and I do it, you know, I mean, that's just
and Graham couches MOB top ten oh, oh, fantastic, Harry,
what do you have?

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Well, you know I got, I got a Thursday only
matchup parlay page plus one, and I'm gonna start off
with Scottie Scheffler over Rory Cheffler's plus two twenty to
win the tournament. So I like this a little bit better.
And just in that, I think going head to head
because he's playing with Rory, that Rory's gonna be intimidated.

(52:26):
Scotty's not gonna look back. He's gonna get the job done.
Played well last week, finished top top five, as he
usually does. I want to believe. I think now Scotty's
got thirteen straight tournaments where he's finished in the top ten,
which is really tremendous and incredible really, and I just
think he's gonna play better than Rory all week, and

(52:48):
especially when he's playing with Rory. So give me Scotty
in the first part of the parlay over Rory and
Jay you stow my thunder a little bit. I'm all
over Kiddy Yama as well. I got him over Thomas
de in the first round. Only again, you mentioned you
know what he did last week. He's been on fire.
He won in Minnesota, and he's finished Kittiama in the

(53:11):
top fifteen in four of his last five tournaments. You
can also get him top ten at plus two fifty.

Speaker 6 (53:17):
Why not.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Like I said, he's been on fire and Yuma said
it as well. So Kittiam over d three, Scottie over
Rory that plays plus one five in the rounds on
Thursday only. And I will say this, I don't like
this guy, but I have a weird feeling. I wonder
what you think about it day at twenty five to one,
also top ten at plus one fifty. He hasn't played

(53:38):
a lot lately, but late Andy hears something out of
Patrick Cantley where he really lights it up. And he's
there on a Sunday on the top of the leaderboard too.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
Take.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
I keep my eye on can't lay this week as well.

Speaker 6 (53:52):
Yeah, and he always puts really well on bent grass,
which are the green surface. This week and also trying
to get into the Ryder Cup. He's gonna have to
be a captain Spakey. Obviously he's not going to play himself,
you know, he has to play himself on that back
to shuffler real quick. I'm just kind of concerned a
little bit if there's one thing you can be concerned
about with Scotty Shuffler this week, Ted Scott his caddy.
It's gonna be the second week in a row he's

(54:13):
been without his caddy, and I think maybe that might
have slowed him down. He had like a one of
the PGA chaplains like on his bag last week. And
I know that sounds crazy, like, well, he's Scotty Shuffler,
But when you have to sit there and count off
your own distances and not have your a guy like
Ted Scott is very valuable. So that would be my
only apprehension with Scotty this week. But I like those
I like both those bets.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun on the fifty guys now,
no cut.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
Cup, fantastic stuff. Guys.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
Maybe next week we'll do uh maybe some uh season
over unders uh for college football, and and maybe maybe
it might be the week for the NFL. Yeah, probably
because we'll.

Speaker 6 (54:51):
All have brother Bry and Parlay kid On and cousin
Salve he wants to join. We'll just get the band
back together. We'll do it all.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Let's do it be incredibly. He can't bring actual knowledge
onto this show. Trouble people would. Yeah, you guys can
leave you and Graham can get the fuck out. Yes,
this is the show we want. Actually, Harry, you're a beautiful,
beautiful man. We enjoy and appreciate having you on every
every every single time. So we'll talk soon. Man, Thanks man,
Thanks guys. It's the great Harry Gagnon from Against All Ogs.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
Yeah it is. It is a bummer, and uh, you know, look.

Speaker 6 (55:22):
Does it make you change the way you think of
Bill Simmons. I mean he's not put out a statement no, no,
because I think you know.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Nor will he I doubt it, I still I do.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
It's just I've grown up with Bill Simmons and then
cousin Sah. I love Cousin Sal when they do the
Guest the Lines podcast, But you mess with my guys.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
Man, it's tough.

Speaker 6 (55:42):
Yeah, no, it does suck, like and it sucks that
Cousin Sal had to be put in a position where
this is all my speculation of like, you know, hey,
Bill Simmons still wants Cousin Sal on his network. But
then Simmons is kind of like, yeah, I get rid
of your friends.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Though.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
It's a tough. It's a tough choice, because not everybody's
gonna be like Billy Joel and go few. I'm keeping
my guys. What sucks is they were they were a
podcast before they were on that network, right yeah, and
so like they were on an extra point correct extra point.
They hadn't left because they still been a pot. That's
the thing.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
You You you bring somebody on, you just feel like you,
you know, keep them for a bit, you know whatever.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
It's wow when you get the big money like the
fan duels and some of the sponsorships and you pull
those away. I mean it's hard to sit there and
try to get gather that money back together.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
That's what It's a tough damn thing to do. That's
what we've discovered here. Thankfully, thankfully Front forty three and
casting companies, sponsors. Yes, thank you, thank you so much.
I do want to before we go, and we'll be
back Friday, of course with a you want to get
depressed about the Tigers before we leave?

Speaker 5 (56:40):
You do you want to? I mean, well, they they're
playing right now.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
I don't know, it's a live score with they down
nine nothing, it's nothing, no, it's zero zero top first.
But the uh yeah, I know, I panicking I think
the Guardians are going to win the division.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
I do. I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
The one other thing I was going to point out
to people is people request at having Connor Airgood on
the show The Detroit News Young Michigan Beat writer, and
one of the things that was brought up was the
idea that he had said Nick marsh doesn't he doesn't
see Nick Marsh as an NFL type prospect. Right now,
I can't find that comment on em Beliegue show anywhere.

(57:16):
I went back and listened to both interviews with Connor
with Ebling, which is.

Speaker 6 (57:22):
Why didn't that's a lot? Why did you do that yourself?
Don't you have Connor's number?

Speaker 5 (57:28):
I could have.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
Texted them like accused him like a story. But hey,
maybe you just call him to be like listen, hey,
you could save me a lot of time and despair.

Speaker 5 (57:37):
I thought it was easy to find I thought it
was easy to find him, you know. Anyway?

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Fast forwarding through, I'm finding where's the Nick marshon anyway?
And the closest I can come is at one point
Ebling says, you know, it's everybody most people think of
Nick Marsh as as a pro certain point, then he
switches to talking about Aidan Chiles, and that's where the
conversation is, and it was him saying I don't think
he leaves after this year. There's nothing about him not
saying Nick Marsh is a pro. If there's a conversation
that that Rob and Eveling haven't put out there that

(58:03):
they had, like it's a deep cut interview somewhere where
he just you know, ship on Nick Marsh, I'd be
curious to hear it.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
Contacting counter eargood would be not the way to go.
You don't have to be accused of toward like, hey man,
we've had some listeners listening, you know, right in and
say hey, that you said Nick Marsh was asked, well, I.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
Could ask him anytime.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
I just thought, it's mean, you know, why do you
have to go back and scour the internet of I didn't.
I had to listen to two interviews of Ely, which,
by the way, yeah, it's a lot. I gotta say, Jack,
when you have guests on the twenty five minutes sometimes
you know, like just in it's a grind. It is
a grind.

Speaker 6 (58:40):
Grind, and who is that great on the phone. It
doesn't have to do with a guest. Really, that's like
twenty five minutes to be on a phone call. Well
in some holy shit, you lose some steam sometimes yeah, yeah, yeah,
take a break or I don't know, you have him
back on, you know you can have him back on.
I think he does pretty regularly, but you will still
have conor on. I just want to let people know that, like,
if that exists somewhere out there.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
I didn't know where to keep searching for him saying,
and he also for Peter Premisu fans who hated him.
He had something today on Twitter that I think you'd
liked in terms of like clapping back at a Michigan fan.
It was talking about Michigan basketball or so anyway you.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
Not talking about Michigan. What's clapping back mean? I don't know.
I just sounded good. We appreciate all of you today
clap a lot of clapping back.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
We appreciate Garrett for coming on g fed on YouTube, TikTok,
anywhere his stadium tours. He's worth a follow, it's his
stuff's really good. We appreciate Harry as always and we
