It is Friday November 1st. Welcome to I guess this is menace to Midwest episode, but we're really going to college is a menace to sports episode. It's the entire platform

because we have a special treat for you, especially those of you who haven't gone back and been able to start the podcast from the beginning, seeing as it is November 1st start to a new month and completely revamping, re-energizing and renovating our platform here coming in the next week.

So obviously for those of you that haven't heard, we're having a tailgate November 23rd at Penn State. So make sure you check it out. It's going to be big time, man. It's a great location right on Lane Avenue.

I mean literally four or five minute walk from campus. You can't beat it. It's right by varsity club. It's the epic center of game day atmosphere at Ohio State.

And the tailgate is going to be exclusive. You have to have a ticket to get in. Patreon subscribers get a discount and first go at it. And the tailgate is going to be awesome. It's going to be good food, not like burgers and hot dogs and bullshit. It's going to be good food, alcohol drinks, everything.

It's going to be all inclusive. We're going to some alcohol vendors at the very worst case. You're going to get multiple drink tickets when you get in, but we're really trying to secure a couple more alcohol vendors so that we can just make it car blanche, whatever you want as many as you want, obviously within reason.

But it's going to be awesome. It's a great location. It's going to be big time. So excited and fired up about that. But we have a special treat for you today. A little throwback Friday, I guess we started, started putting this together yesterday wanted to get out last night for a little throwback Thursday, but did not. So let's, let's get to the show.

Whoa, he has trouble with a snap and the ball is free. It's picked up by Michigan Stakes, Jalen Watts Jackson and he scores on the left play of the game. Unbelievable.

No, man, there's more important than he no coach. There's more important than he.

What a hit. Dance, Jalen Watts. You got barbecue right there and you didn't invite me. My Felix.

Did you push yourself to be great to him? Did you do it? Did you do it last today?

No, I got you standing away. Go away.

All right, well, welcome to Menace to Sports. Menace to Society. Menace to the Midwest. All of the above. This is a best of show.

I want to give you the roots of the show. I went back and really started listening. I started from episode one and re-listen to the first 10 episodes. I was like, man, there's some great stories in here.

And I want to make sure people have heard it. One and two, if you have heard it, it's still awesome to listen to again.

So we're going to put together a best of the first 10 episodes of this movement, this platform. And the really cool thing is, is it's obvious the growth and the investment that we put into this because the audio quality has gotten a lot better.

But I want to do just give you some fun stuff to listen to, especially if you're a buck eye fan considering this is the Midwest show. I know you got to buy a weekend.

Some decent football on not great football, but I wanted to give you some throwback stories about my career, just kind of how the show started. Some funny things that happened. And we might do a second installment of this episode.

But as a celebration for a million downloads and in November, new month and this platform expanding, let's get to the first.

The first, the first one I had to put on here was the very first thing that ever came out on this podcast because people shit their pants. And it was a story about president Michael Drake, the president of Ohio State. So let's get to that story now.

All right, so I want to start with this in 2016. I was on the road recruiting came back to Columbus Friday night landed around midnight, right.

I have parked at the office. So I Uber to the office to get my truck. My keys were in my office. So I cut through the locker room to get to my office and get my keys and head home after a long week.
