| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me, Rob Mahoney, |
| 0:19.4 | J. Kyle, man, gentlemen. We're recording this Monday |
| 0:23.3 | morning hours away from yet another Yukon national title game performance. I'm wearing the hat, |
| 0:29.5 | much like Tiger wearing the red polos on game day. Is that the comp you want right now? |
| 0:34.5 | Timely reference. Yeah. Well, it's the old. |
| 0:37.8 | Maybe Ron Burgundy. |
| 0:39.3 | Not Ron Burgundy. |
| 0:40.2 | Ron Swanson, wearing the red polo after his successes. |
| 0:44.2 | Let's go with that. |
| 0:45.2 | But I'm wearing a different hat, and I got to say, I'm feeling a little nervous that I threw |
| 0:49.1 | off the juju here. |
| 0:51.0 | How deep is your array of Yukon hats? |
| 0:54.4 | Two. |
| 0:55.2 | It's literally these two hats. |
| 0:57.2 | I've only ever seen the two of them the last two episodes. |
| 1:00.8 | So or the, we are recently. |
| 1:02.3 | But I usually wear the national 1999 title hat after they win because that's just how it works. |
| 1:08.9 | I'm wearing a different hat. |
| 1:10.2 | And now I'm thinking to myself, did I choose style over substance? And all of a sudden I'm going to throw everything off. They're going to lose because of me and not because, you know, Michigan is huge and imposing and probably the better team. Yeah, I'm being honest. You fucked up. You really did this. Everyone can hold Justin Vary or personally to blame when things don't go well for Yukon, but let's leave the door open for the universe shining its light upon you. I personally would love this for you, Justin. As much as we hate you coming on this podcast to gloat, I just want good things to happen for our guy JV. I want all of his, every plant in his garden to thrive. And I guess I want you gone to win. I'm over here just clawing to the past. Look at this. A 96 final four shirt. So I don't want anything good to happen to Justin. I want all bad. So yeah, we'll see. Well, you were there. So like, what was it like being in the presence of greatness? Oh, I wasn't actually in like physical presence because I didn't get a seat. So I don't know what I did wrong on that front. So I had a really awful moment where I was like walking back to my car because I didn't, I didn't, I had to tread in the rain for people who don't know. The weather was really, really bad. So I had this moment where there was horizontal rain pelting me in the face that was so hard that I wondered if it was hail. And I had this awful juxtaposition of my son has become obsessed with accidentally in love, that counting pro song. And it's been stuck in my head. So I was trudging through the rain, absolutely soaking wet. I had to take my glasses off while accidentally in love was stuck in my head. |
| 2:36.3 | And I was like, I'm in hell right now. |
| 2:38.5 | Yukon might win. |
| 2:39.3 | This is awful. |
