Footballers AMA + Epic Stories, A Balanced Diet - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14

Is it buffalo chicken or Hawaiian or meat lovers? And follow-up pizza question, does pineapple belong on pizza? I will answer the second question first, which there will never be agreement over. I am 100% fine with pineapple on pizza. The best pizza to me is a thin crust meat-heavy pizza. Meat-heavy. Can you go too much meat? You can on a thin crust. If it's not a thin crust, you cannot. That's impossible. But on a thin crust, you've got to be able to get it.

Get a little crisp. Have you ever cried when you saw a piece of pizza that was just... So beautiful. So beautiful. Just moved. There's some more. Pineapple on a pizza is fine, but I would never choose it. I think we've said that before. Like, I don't... If I had the option, if they're sitting next to each other, I'm never going to pick up the pineapple one. Yeah, because it's not good. I don't care. I'm tired of the argument and the fun pretend outrage. If you want to put pineapple on your pizza, it's fine.

It's bad. And I just recently had a situation where the wrong pizza was delivered to my house, and it was a Hawaiian. And it was, well, this is the pizza we have here. I'm going to get this a fair shot. Yeah, it's better than no pizza. But it's not better than just like regular cheese. My favorite pizza, I'm what Jason. I like a good meat lover's pizza. And, but, man, the best, I don't know.

Where are you, Andy? Are you a deep dish or you a thin crust? I would just say regular. Like a neither. Hand toss? Like if I had to choose between thin and deep dish, I'd probably go thin. But I'm a hand toss regular pizza guy. I like a five cheese, but I like beef on a pizza too. Well, that's on the meat lover's pizza. Yeah, along with everything else. I think you can have too much meat on a pizza, though. But that's just me. Taco. That's what I call a pizza.

Yeah, yeah, so I lean there. Do you have a final selection, Mike? I guess if I have to get the, if go from anyone, I would go with the deeper one, deep dish. All right, Twitter question from Mr. Gorbillage. Tear down this wall. Well, he's got a conundrum for us. How many syllables are there in the word squirrel? Two. One. Squirrel. Squirrel. Did you just say one? Yeah, squirrel.

score right it's at least it's at least two i get i get that they're squirrel i get oh it could be one did you ever do that trick as a kid yeah where you yeah how they would tell you when you say the word how many times did your jaw go down i'm not aware of this trick what is it yeah however when your jaw opens every time it's a new syllable yeah so then under that it's squirrel and that's like one then right squirrel

So if you were to say this word and really pronounce it, it's two. It's squirrel. Squirrel is two. But nobody says, look at those squirrels in the tree. You say a squirrel. It sounded like you said a normal sentence. No way. Squirrel. It did sound normal when you said, you're like, nobody says, look at that squirrel in the tree. Squirrel. Nobody says look at that squirrel in the tree. They say, look at that squirrel.

You're saying I'm saying it the same way because you're crazy. You're nuts. If you take your over-inflection on the L out, you're just saying the word's exactly the same. No, I don't say squar-roll. The difference is pronouncing that second R. Are you pronouncing the second R like squir-roll? Are you just saying squirrel? Okay, no, okay. You don't have to sound like you're like drunk when you're saying squirrel roll. Squirrel. I know the actual answer.

Brooks, how many do you think they're? The actual answer has to be two. It's two. Yeah. Thanks for this question, Brooks. Really appreciate it. You can get it out in one. Yeah. I normally just say, shitmunk, which is more syllables. All right. YouTube question. We're wrapping it up here momentarily. Ike wants to know what kind of advice can you give to someone who wants to start a podcast. Not necessarily about sports, but just anything. What is good podcasting advice? This is one of our.

Most frequently asked questions. So I've got a couple pieces of advice. Number one, your audio quality really does matter. And it's not rocket science to be able to get good audio. Just jump on YouTube. A squirrel could do it. Research on how to use an audio interface, a digital audio workstation. Just put in a few hours of research.

And you're going to be able to figure it out no problem. And then the other piece of advice is just start. Just get it going. When you start, you're going to suck. We sucked really bad when we first started this podcast. You guys did. Yeah, you guys were awful. Yes, thank you. We sucked when it was the three of us. Like if we go back now and listen to our first shows.

We will all, Jason's furiously shaking his head, no, saying, no, I will not. I will not go back unless it's just part. It's the name of the game, man. It's reps. No one jumps on a microphone and is incredible right away. You're not just Dan Patrick without putting in the work. And don't, don't try to. I love you, Dan. Yeah, don't try to be something. Don't try to be whatever you think a podcaster should be, be whoever you are.

otherwise it is just hard to keep up that, you know, some fake persona. Yeah, you're not going to enjoy it. And I would say two other bits of information is podcasting and establishing a podcast takes time and consistency. So that's a big key that I tell people that ask me is, you know, coming out with a schedule of when you release shows and having a topic that you're excited enough about to push through, you know, putting out, you know, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 shows where you're excited to talk about it.

And the growth might not happen right away. Because if you don't, if you're talking about something because you're like, oh, man, there's a, there's a space in the market for a podcast about, you know, shoes, but you hate shoes. You're not going to make it. That's what I would say. You know, make sure you love what you're talking about. All right. Brooks, do we have any other questions that you've been wanting to hear us answer? Like, will we ever actually send a paycheck along to you? Any of those questions? Unnecessary. Yeah, he doesn't need it. Anything we're missing? We're getting one more food one in.

Okay, sneak it in, Brooks. You can ask it. From Instagram, you have to eat one type and flavor of chips for the rest of your life. What is it? Ooh. Is plain allowed? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah, rest of my life, I'm going, I'm going plain potato chips. Just like a, what brand? Like a, just salt. Lays, Pringles, ruffles? What kind of? No, I'll go ruffle. Plain ruffle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, the rest of the life really.

irks it because I didn't know it was my favorite until the beginning of COVID and I had the additional midsection to show that this was my new favorite gym but talkies and specifically the purple bag I don't know what flavor it is I just know it's the purple bag of talkies and oh my goodness these things are so good but they are really hot really spicy and you can't just

You can't just gobble these things down forever like they're regular potato. Wait, those are fuego mini snack bites? Yes. Are those the ones that have stuff inside of them, the mozzarella filling? No, it's essentially just a, it's like a rolled up corn chip. Okay. And then doused in spice of doom that is. Okay, looks like that's the fuego flavor, Mike. You like the spicy. Jason, what do you think? My favorite standard chip would be a barbecue. I like barbecue chips. However, if I could only eat one chip the rest of my life, I wouldn't choose that.

I probably have to go tortilla because now I can get salsa. Now I can get guacamole. Now I can get queso. I mean, that's a problem. Like, are you going to take your ruffle and dip it in some gux? Well, I assume that you were just eating the chip as it stands. You didn't need to supplement your chip with accessories. No, no, no. But my point is more to the fact that you can't use a different, like in the situation where you want some guac, you have to use your ruffle.

You have to use your top. Stop breaking the question, Jason. Yeah, he did break the question. There are no additional things you can put on the chip. Yeah, you get plain tortilla chips now. That's all we're saying. Was that what you would still pick? No, I would probably pick a salt, like a kettle-cooked salt. Oh, those are good.

Yeah, I will say this, like, we didn't know what questions were on today's show, but if any of these companies that we've just happened to shout out wants to just sponsor a segment, we're down to clown. Mike can do a spicy hot talkies pick of the, you are my hot take of the week? Your hot talkies is the week. Oh, okay. All right, we can work on it. We don't normally brainstorm these live. All right.
