Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in, come back to your Tuesday

0:26.8

book, I talk, it's Doug Lamarice, it's Nathan Beard, it's Stephen Meijer doing rapid fire today, as we prepare to talk to some people this week,

0:34.0

including a bunch of Ohio State players, that is the plan at least, for us to talk to a bunch of guys on Wednesday.

0:39.3

So we'll have hot fresh information coming to you guys, and we are going to dig in, we have it slotted for the first one later this week,

0:46.6

but dig in on both sides of the ball, we'll do a pod where it's Ohio State offense versus Georgia defense, then we'll do Georgia offense versus Ohio State defense,

0:54.6

the matchups that matter, where the advantages are, what Ohio State fans should focus on going into that game, we'll have two big healthy pods where we really dig it on that between now and when things kick off in Atlanta for the peach bowl after Christmas,

1:10.2

but for now, we did a call out to our tech subscribers, if you will be a tech subscriber 6143503315 would be a good time to get in, and I like dreams, we will do a dream pod at one point,

1:23.3

because I bet a lot of you listening, I bet a lot of you, and don't send them in the text or tweets right now, because I'm going to lose them, save them, for when we do a call out in the off season, I bet you have crazy dreams about Ohio State football, because there's a thing that you care about.

1:37.1

And one of them happened to somebody in the 419, just a weird dream last night, I dreamt that they made Ohio State play the Browns in a playoff game, and the winner would play Georgia, I was on my honeymoon and had to hide that I was watching it from my wife.

1:53.0

Well, anyway, the Browns won and then proceeded to get blown out by Georgia and everyone made a laughing stock out of Ohio, what nightmares are made of, Nathan, I do love the part of that, the Browns Ohio State part is crazy enough, but the idea that in your dream, you're hiding your football fandom from your wife on your honeymoon.

2:13.7

Just make sure 419, you and your wife talk this out, right? I mean, you know secrets and a marriage, right? It's all okay. I mean, it's a, but I love, I don't you love football dreams, I love football dreams.

2:23.7

I think what makes it a true dream, right? Because nobody just dreams, oh, I had a dream last night of the Tigers and the Met's playing Game 5 of the World Series, like just straight forward, like nobody dreams out, there has to be some weird wrinkle.

2:36.7

And the fact that the, the house they would have to advance through the Browns to even get the right to play Georgia, I think it was a great wrinkle. That's what makes it a true, that's how you know it's a real dream.

2:47.7

Because something in your head is battling with itself to make you think about that.

2:54.7

And the things that are battling a Browns angst and Ohio State angst and they're colliding in a nightmare. So sorry, person.

3:01.7

The Browns part of it is so much better because the Browns being the, the Buckais. I mean, yeah, they're a team full of NFL players, but the Buckais are a team full of some NFL players that's supposed to happen.

3:11.7

But you're so distraught by your NFL fandom that you also think a college football team can beat them. That's what makes it a better.

3:20.7

You're like, I'm pretty sure George can run on this show with defense. Yeah, I don't think they can stop Kendall Milton. I just don't. So yeah, sorry for the angst, it's all okay.

3:28.7

We'll all share dreams sometime down the road. All right. This is a Paris Johnson question to start this off. This is from the 440.

3:34.7

How important is it for Paris Johnson Jr. to go in the first round? Ohio State hasn't had a first round tackle picked since Taylor Decker in 2015.

3:44.7

So Nathan, this is one of these things where again, a lot of times the answers are just comparing Ohio State to itself.

3:51.7

And it's like, oh, do you think it matters that they have a lot of draft picks at receivers? Does that matter when they're recruiting receivers? Does it matter that what Dwayne Haskins and Justin Fields did when you're.
