MGoPodcast 11.26: Everybody's Had Their Bananas
1 hour and 42 minutes
We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be furloughed SBNation writers right now. Proceeds from the "Those Who Stay Home" collection are going to support our front line workers at Michigan Medicine.
Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, and FuegoBox

1. Basketball Picks up Two or One Grad Transfers
starts at 1:00
Something is weird with the recruitment of Nojel Eastern. Definitely the weirdest player in the Big Ten but not a bad one. Also got the kid from Wake Forest, who's 100% coming provided he gets a waiver. Chaundee Brown can shoot if you set him up but he's not a creator of his own shot. How do they all fit together? How much of a load can we put on Wagner?

2. Do They Play Football?
starts at 21:439
If they're determined to have students on campus and play, what does that look like? Things at the start of fall don't actually look much different from where things were the moment they canceled the Big Ten Tournament. But they're going to do it anyway, at least until public pressure from something going horribly wrong ends it.
3. Hot Takes and Football Recruiting
starts at 44:14
We don't even get to all the commits, just the 4-star defensive players because it looks like there are about to be a whole bunch of them. Are they all going to play anchor? Of course!
4. Gimmicky Top Five Weirdest Game Environments
starts at 1:08:46
A lot of sad games and 2014 games and then Seth brings out the Comerica Park flying ants game.
MUSIC:
- “Unbroken, Unshaven”—The Budos Band
- “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales (Single Version)”—Car Seat Headrest
- “Daydream in Blue”—I Monster
- “Across 110th Street”
THE USUAL LINKS:
"I pooped."
I was just listening to the start this morning while walking my dog, and what is up with Seth being only in the left ear and Ace only in the right?
Yeah I only had one speaker hooked up so i couldnt hear Seth at first
Next time hook up the Seth speaker first.
Just imagine you’re at Wolverine State Brewing sitting at a six top with a plate of pulled pork nachos between you and Brian in the middle. Ace is on your right with his ever present Macbook to look up pertinent stats. Seth is on you’re left talking with Matt Demorest and facilitating the free beers for us hangers out. It’s Mgovisualation Theater 2000.
I tried something different this time because we all recorded on our own setups and then I mixed them together. Previously we were all going into the same device so I didn't have that option. It also gave me the opportunity to clean up a lot of background noise, like my chair, and the popping sound Brian's hair makes when it hits the microphone, when a person wasn't talking.
I'm making a version that's centered too that I'll upload in a bit.
Or, go all in and make an MgoASMR podcast.
I will never understand why this episode was not titled: "I GO POOP!"
Excellent job, this was a lot of fun for a no-sports sports podcast. For weird game environments, shout out to BraylonFest- it was right before Halloween and once a lot of people cleared out before the comeback the student section turned into a moshpit of the best fans in lots of crazy costumes.
Listening to this pod on the can made it all the more satisfying at the end when I did, finally, poop
I pooped
Start with 9 pounds of bananas, end with poop. Makes sense.
