Week 0 and Week 1 build capital
Context
The show does not tell listeners to skip college football, but it clearly rates Week 0 and Week 1 as lighter than the calendar peaks. Week 0 is an appetizer, and Week 1 has interesting inventory without the usual wall-to-wall urgency.
The practical advice is the key: use those early Saturdays to be amongst the people if necessary, because the season will demand more from the shared calendar later.
