Chapter 1: What are the hosts' thoughts on college football and its changes?
Haven't you bothered me enough, you big banana head?
On this episode of The Commercial Break.
So we go in, so I go in, I get invited. My friend is hyping me up about this. Yeah, yeah. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Until next week.
Yeah, until 2024 when you can buy it at QT.
I mean, honestly. Until 2024, when Aaron Rodgers sets up an ayahuasca day camp for rich kids. I mean, come on. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Ohio State. To my Georgia Bulldogs, Chris Joy Holdley. Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Oh, you're actually a Vol. Yes, I am. A Vol. Let's see here. Tennessee Vol. The Vol's not doing too badly this year.
No, not at all.

Chapter 2: How has the payment structure for college athletes evolved?
Yes. Yes. I'm like that Allstate commercial. Asking people to take their shoes off and putting coasters down to drink. I am slowly but surely turning into my father as I now understand the allure of football.
And talking about weather.
And talking about weather. And bitching about people driving slow. I now know it all. Come full circle. Listen, I've always been a casual, very casual observer of sports in general. Baseball, golf, women's volleyball, beach volleyball.
Those are the things that I have traditionally paid a little bit more attention to for this period of my life where I can tell you every professional golfer that was in the top 100. I don't know. But I found that golf got a little less exciting when Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and some of those people stopped playing.
It's still exciting, but it's just a new generation, and I haven't kept up with it because I have children, and I can't afford to spend five hours watching a tournament anymore.
Well, may I recommend that Netflix show, All About the... Yes. I can't remember the name of it right now.
All About the Swing or something. I don't know. I know what you're talking about.
Yeah. It's really good. It catches you kind of back up with what the current situations are.
I actually do know because I pay attention to it enough. I say pejorative, but I'm not into it like I used to watch every swing of almost every tournament at some point during the week, right? In between my binge drinking and cocaine habit, I would find a way to watch golf. And you and I went through a period where we watched a lot of golf together.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Pat McAfee in the sports commentary landscape?
And I would be too, on the other couch.
On the other couch, watching some, you know, the Douchebag 3000 or whatever, you know, the Douchebag Final or whatever we were watching. But anyway, I have found it's a little bit more digestible to watch. And I've always been into college football. I've always thought that was amazing. I always thought that those guys play so hard for the love of the game.
Not all of them are going to be professional football players. They're playing for pride. They're playing just their little hearts out, right? Now for money. Now for money. And I think that's an interesting point that we should talk about. College football, I found this year I'm keeping up with a little bit more because I find it to be exciting that there's now a 12-team playoff.
When I was a kid, you just went to a bowl game, and then they would have rankings, and you would be No. 1 because you were ranked No. 1. And sometimes the 1 and 2 would play, and usually what was that, the Sugar Bowl or the Cotton Bowl or something? The Pasadena Bowl, the Rose Bowl, I'm not sure which one.
But there was a bunch of bowls that were prestigious, and then they would send the top teams. ranked schools to those polls. Then they formalized it with a playoff, and it's been a four-team playoff for a while. The first and second play, and the third and fourth play, and then whatever. There you go. But now there's a 12-team playoff. It's a bracket. So it's a little bit more exciting.
And that, on top of the conference championships. Don't ask me how all this works. I don't even know what a Nickelback formation is. I don't even know what a running back does.

Chapter 4: What experiences do people have during an ayahuasca ceremony?
I really don't. I'm so unknowledgeable about the actual mechanics of the sport. But I like watching a good touchdown just as much as the next person.
Yeah, it's just fun to get in the spirit.
It's fun to get in the spirit and watch all the college kids root and raw for their team. It's exciting. The atmosphere is exciting. And, you know, the coverage is usually good. They usually have, like, people that will talk knowledgeably about what's going on, usually something about...
This is the most underrated defense in all of the college football. They're in the pocket, and they're standing there.
Look at that guy blocking. You're not prepared for what happens next. You're not prepared for what happens next. This weekend, Ohio State versus the Tennessee Volunteers. What will happen?
It's life or death out there for those guys, you know? Something about the offensive line and the defensive line, and that's where there's won and lost, and I don't know. And then the post-game conferences are always something like this.
Yep. Well, the fact of the matter is, if we would have scored more points and our defense would have held better, we would have won this game.
And then it's like, isn't that like not every game? There's no variation of a post-games conference that makes any sense unless some crazy drama happened. It's all the same bullshit. But anyway, I digress. I don't get that into it. But on Saturday, I will put it on in the background and watch the big games if I can.
So I'm excited this year because it seems like there is now some parody in college football. And here's what I mean. I think in the past...

Chapter 5: How do the hosts describe their personal ayahuasca experiences?
Really great players go to the hot schools, and that tends to be somewhere in the Southeastern Conference. LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, you name it. I mean, they're not Tennessee lately, but this year they're doing well.
They are.
Clemson is not in the SEC, but it's a Southern school. But anyway, so these— Ohio is always big, too. Ohio's good. Texas has always been there. SMU, unbelievably. SMU. Michigan. Michigan. Notre Dame. Listen, any school can be good in any given year, right? But the SEC, they always talk about is like, you know, the big bad boys of the college football.
And everyone wants to go to a southeastern school because the girls are good looking and the weather is warm and, you know, the campuses are crazy and whatever. But this year, it seems like more than ever, there's a lot of parity in college football. There's upset after upset. There's victory after victory. There's one team.
Usually, you would have to be like 10-0, 11-0 to get anywhere close to the college playoffs. Now, there's teams with two losses, three losses that have been upset that have a chance at going down. to the bracketed tournament, let alone to get into the final or the semifinal. That is exciting to me.
It is exciting.
And I think what changed the game here is the fact that you can get paid to go anywhere. You could literally go to Virginia Fart University in Southwest Virginia with nobody playing there and plays no other schools, right? And be the quarterback, the star quarterback in that particular game. you know, division and get paid $200,000 for doing a Doritos commercial.
If you're a personality and they want you to do that, you can get a sponsorship, whatever.

Chapter 6: What are the risks and considerations of participating in ayahuasca retreats?
It changed the game. Now it matters less where you go because you, if you're really, really good, you're going to get paid. Right. And I think we can all say it out loud. Now they were getting paid anyway. They were getting paid anyway.
Definitely.
It doesn't fucking matter anymore. The NCAA, after years of doing the wrong thing, did the right thing and said, if we're going to make $6 billion a year on this fucking college football and television rights and stadium rights and everything else that comes along with it, we should give some of that money to the people who make it so popular, which is the guys...
that are fucking cracking their heads every Saturday afternoon. And I think that was the right move and the right call. And now I do believe there's some parity along with that.
I guess there's a portal where people can, it used to be that if you transferred, you had to sit for a year or something like that, some kind of complication where if you transferred, you may have been sat for some period of time, like a cool off period. And now you can just transfer schools and you're playing the next week and whatever. I don't know how that portal works, but
There's the portal, and you can transfer through the magic of the internet inside of it, and whoo, there we go. Whabam!
Whabam! You're now getting paid $200,000 from Bob Corb's Corvettes in Wickegan, Illinois. Brand new Mercedes? Whabam! No problem. RBM of Milwaukee, Wisconsin grants you a brand new Mercedes. These players are getting paid, as they should be. Yeah, the quarterback for Georgia is driving around in a Lamborghini. Boom! Whabam! Whabam! He's not even that good! He almost ruined the season for us.

Chapter 7: What bizarre incident involving a doctor is discussed?
Get paid those big bucks and you start slipping, buddy.
Yeah. Well, listen, that's a flashy example of what can happen. But when you're the number one school going into the year, when you're the number one school and you're the quarterback of the number one school, you just won a national championship. Of course, you're going to get paid, right? But, you know, you got to keep working.
But if this was 10 years ago, he would have been driving around in a... two-year-old Mercedes Benz that was pretty good looking, right? But his grandma got it for him.
Right, exactly.
Which means somebody gave it to his grandma and his grandma gave it to him. So as to skirt the rules, I was watching this documentary about Southern Methodist University, which was a powerhouse football, college football team back in the 80s, but it was payola everywhere. They were literally like, not Eric, I can't remember the name of the guy, but he showed up Someone gave him a Corvette.
One of the schools gave him a Corvette during like the courting period, you know, when they were trying to get him onto the team. And come signing day, the team that gave him the Corvette, he decides to go with the other team. So now he's got a Corvette from one team and it goes with the other team and they give him a bunch of money too. It was all happening anyway. But now it's just changed.
Now it's an even playing field. Everyone gets to put it out there in the open, and at least there's some transparency as to what's going on. And I see these college kids in these ads all the time. And I'm like, good for fucking you, dude. Get that fucking money. Get paid. Now it sucks if you're like the fourth string, you know, I don't know, Nickelback.
I don't even know what the fuck you call them. But if you're the fourth string punter, you know, you're not getting a deal. Maybe you're getting free Quiznos or something.
Yeah.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on the overall episode themes?
Right. Here's a Quiznos card, kid. Make a post on Instagram about it. But anyway, the reason why we're even talking about this is because we have a TV here and we watch stuff in the background when we're not recording. And we were watching the Pat McAfee show, which is on ESPN. And he's a highly, highly popular and controversial figure who has been doing this live ESPN show for a while now.
It's a podcast, quote unquote, radio show, quote unquote, whatever the fuck that even means anymore. I don't know. I don't even know what podcasting means anymore. And that's part of the reason now we're going to be on Spotify videos because I don't know what it means, but I don't want to be lost. I don't want to get, God forbid, I be behind. I'm going to get on Clubhouse early this time, kids.
I'm going to ride the wave to fortunate fate. Yes. Anyway, this Pat McAfee is now on this, you know, the college game day. Yeah. So now he's a personality. He's like the, you know, ruffian. He's the crazy guy who does anything, says anything. Rogue. Rogue. He's gone rogue. Look it right now. We're watching this and Aaron fucking Rogers is on now.
Aaron Rogers. I don't know what happened to that guy.
I mean, Aaron Rogers. Anyway, I'm not going to talk about Eric because I just don't give a shit. But Pat McAfee is so popular and he's been he's been such a star for ESPN that they live. And so we were watching him talk about like the stadium series in the NHL where they put an NHL rink in the middle of a of a stadium and they play a game. This year is going to be in Ohio.
It's like in February or March.
Yeah.
But they're talking about college football and the rankings and who's going to be where and all this other stuff. When this comes out, it'll be a little bit more clear who's in the playoffs. But Pat McAfee, he is so wild. He's such a wild child that they have to put a disclaimer on the ESPN ticker. that constantly says, you are watching a show live where anything can happen.
Please excuse us in advance for anything Pat McAfee may say. This is ESPN owned by Disney. ESPN owned by Disney is putting a disclaimer saying that Pat McAfee could say anything at any time. Man, how things have changed. Oh, for sure. It used to be.
