Now back to the episode. Pick'Em. Week three. We're in person. Yep. Part of me wanted to tank this show just for the people who complain about the Zooms. I have to see the most boring show ever and be like, it sucks when we're in person. Weirdly, I actually think Zoom is probably a better setup. It's. Because I'm there, I assume? Yes, you're right there. This is like kind of a weird setup. It's a weird. Actually, can we push. Dave, here, stand up. Let's push your chair back a little because that was where the cool throne was. Yeah, there we go. It also. I think that Zoom, it goes back to the rundown days. There is definitely a little more contention in Zoom when you can kind of go at each other and not have to. Like, be standing right next to each other. All right, but we're all back together. We're all here. They want it a little bit closer. We got a lot to discuss. Rico. Good. Horrible. I want to start with this. Start with the bad. Start with the bad. We have some other stuff to discuss. Then we'll go to the picks and we'll go with the bad. I want to say congratulations to Rico Bosco. There has finally now been a person who has left Barstool Sports that Rico didn't squeeze out. The Mean Girls. So, that's growth. Nice job. That's growth. In the past, that would have been your squeeze out. It was someone else's squeeze out. You have like a board, like kills at the office. Like, Minahan, Keegs, and Rico. Actually, we should have. You ever see those, like, infographs where it's like over time? So, it would be like college basketball wins. And it will be like Kansas and Kentucky and then all of a sudden here comes Duke in the 80s. And then they. We should do that. We should do that where it's like all these guys and then Bosco from out of nowhere goes right up to 20 kills. I got to say, yeah, I got to say, after watching you put the pressure on people and them being in the gauntlet, like, it was nice to be on the street. Just having absolutely nothing. No, not watching the death, but having absolutely nothing to do. Like, when they start rounding up murder suspects, I didn't worry that they were going to knock on the door. Right. It's like, is it Tommy? Tommy in Casino? When he goes, yeah, there was 50 murders and they asked him about all of them. And he dodged. Like, he knew he was still getting a knock on the door. Right. I think I'm like maybe three months away from at least getting knocks on the door. Yeah. So, we'll see. Yeah. Either way, Bosco, we were sitting out beforehand and Dave said Bosco's most improved. He's had a good run. He is not somebody right now who's on the list of, you know, got to improve or do things better. So, how was the dinner with Nate Oates last night? No dinner. So, what I was saying to you, Dave, is you were like Bosco got on a flight at 4 a.m. He deserved it. Serves a ton of credit for that. Coming out here, I offered, I have a guest room in my house. I said, Bosco, if you want to come out on Tuesday night, you can stay in my house, which that's a big offer. Yep. Huge. To have him staying in my house. Huge. Who knows what's going to happen. How hard was that sell to Lady Jack? No, I didn't even sell it. Really? No, yeah. You would have just been able to stay. It's in the basement, so it's far away. Fair enough. Yeah, I think she reads the newspapers, too. You just never even mentioned it to her. No, I never mentioned it to her. I would have had you come. Oh, you would have set me up and come upstairs for breakfast or like. I probably would have had you come in at like 10 o'clock. She was already in bed. Would have had you sleep there. Then in the morning, been like, oh yeah, Bosco's here. Imagine putting her in a basement, just like you put one of those doors that dogs crawl through. That's how it gets in and out. A little pee pad? Yeah. I should set that up. But either way, I offered for Bosco to stay over, which is very nice, I thought. And he's like, no, it's okay. And then I forgot that last night, I think, was the Nate Oates dinner. It was supposed to be. He was out recruiting. We got to go. He blew you off? No, couldn't make it work. He blew you off. We don't want to give away who we're looking at, but he was in three different spots. And he's like, it would have been late. I'll let you know in the afternoon. And then as it turns out, it didn't work out. He's speaking at a clinic today. Go check out Stepanak's Clinic. That's a quintessential blow off. Yeah, you got blown off. No, not really. Just couldn't make it work in terms of the time. I also told you that the living situation right now. I understand. Shit going on. I understand. But Nate Oates was the real reason you were sticking around. Because that is like way easier to take a Tuesday night flight. Yeah. And then be able to wake up, get some sleep. Yeah, I was surprised. Yeah. Especially like it doesn't cost Barstool anything. Right. Like you would just come and stay at my house. Right. I did. I had that. Rather than take a 4 a.m., I took a flight yesterday. 95% was like the real stuff. But the dinner. Yeah, 5% was that as well. But I think as soon as I said the 95%, you kind of like, all right. Well, the offer stands. All right, sweet. You're welcome to stay. Sweet. I also need to do it because I know that there's going to be. Oh, Stu Feiner asked for that. So I got to be like, I already got Bosco. It's kind of like. Oh, yeah. I'm just trying to. I'm wondering why you're being nice to me, but I'll take it. Be a team player. It's fine. Bosco's got the. Because you. I don't think you could sell. No. The other way. Chance. No chance. Him 69ing in my guest room. Fuck. Gross. So gross. I don't know why. I had to burn the house down. Yeah. It's a terrible visual. You know, he would. And he would get on advisors the next day and be like, I fuck doggy style. Yeah. It's like I came all over your. Shut up, Sandy. This is fucking maniac. Be gross. Oh, all right. So, yeah, we had a good weekend, Bama. I actually. I thought the stadium was very loud. It was very loud. Now, Bama fans were saying, which I guess is a little bit of a Michigan vibe, because I said that there is rumors Alabama is a quiet stadium. And, you know, you hear Brandon Walker say it. And they were like, well, we don't get loud against Mississippi State. You come for big games. It's loud. Michigan is loud versus Ohio. State is not loud. There's a lot of others. So it was loud. It was an electric environment. Yeah. And I loved it. I thought it. It's what I kind of thought it would be like. You go to LSU and it's kind of dirty, dirty South. Like Alabama had a blue blood vibe to it. Yeah. So you can see how they'd be such like rivals with that. But I enjoyed it. You had a great take on the cowboy boots, by the way. Yeah. I don't think you can go cowboy when you're playing Texas. You said it perfectly, though, because Bama like, you know, people dressed up a little bit. LSU is like, and I say this in a very endearing way, is like swamp creatures. It's the perfect rivalry for that. Correct. That reason, like there are different fan bases playing in the same conference, playing not too far from each other. And it's like the perfect dichotomy. Yeah. I loved it. It was. I always love going. I mean, there is obviously I'm Patriots first, but there is nothing like college football game day. It's not. Yes. Yes. Big, big games. We also had a very funny moment in the box who shout out Travi for the boys. Set us up. The people who sweet it was were the nicest people in the world. Like I talked to the guy forever. Really, really nice guy. We were. Dave was in the corner talking to actually Saban's daughter. And we were. We switched our bet to Alabama and Alabama scored. And it was such a clear hold. And all these Alabama fans came running over to Dave being like, we scored. We scored. We scored. And Dave just looked at me and I'm just going like this. I'm like flag. I was saying it to Saban's daughter. I'm like, Dan, like these people that gambling brain. Like I, I knew it right away. I, you actually weren't even doing this first. You did this. I was just going like, and I was like, people are running over. I'm like flag. People just going crazy. And I was like, stop cheering. Everyone just wait a little while. Yeah. Yeah. Travi also big Alabama fan. Idiot. Like Saban's daughter, Saban's daughter. He's the best. They have this drink, the yellow hammer, which is like a special Alabama drink. It's like rum, pineapple, Saban's daughter brought over these cups that were like custom Saban. They said Saban on them and, and he's like, I can get those at a grocery store. I'm like, what are you talking about? It's like Nick Saban's daughter. Just, I was offering him on. He's like, nah, I can get that anywhere. It's like, I don't think so, dude. The other funny thing with Travi is for all the talk we had last week about how he was nervous about the suite. He told us that the only thing they didn't want us to say was God damn it. Because we're sitting there watching the game and I hearing in the suite, we're sitting, Dave and I are sitting in the front row with the suite owner and I hear like, kill that mother fucker. motherfucker, and I turn around, and it's Travi yelling that, and I was like, what the hell? dude he's like just don't say god damn it that's the only thing they don't want is they're they're god people they don't want god damn it i got absolutely ruined at a pizza review i was texas all week in the i mean you can't you have to place your bet on the games before you're there and not switch it because you drink the kool-aid but this kid he was telling me the quarterback he's like look at this picture of the quarterback you're telling me they're not going to national championship it's just what's it mill mill row he just had a mean mug in the in the like team photo and i switched my bet based on that yeah and then i switched my bet based on that my tongue by the way i have marble mouth it's gonna be a long day i have a thing on a sore on one side canker marble mouth is that herpes it is a herpes it's uh i think it's like herpes a yeah that's the old yeah no canker sores are herpes every human has it herpes can affect anyone i've i wouldn't be hamlin anderson got herpes i was like damn anyone could get it everyone has it everyone if you get a canker sore you got herpes yeah so i got herpes all right other other topics uh healthy debate debuted i've said this three times and i guess we're all i i it's almost like a movie line i've said it in private i and this is going to be a compliment i've said i can't believe i think bosco has a show that may work yeah i've said that like just whispering like to nobody in your walk-in and say like i think bosco actually may have found a show like i now i i guess we disagree i don't think you can do two days a week for half an hour so well no we already bumped to an hour all right that's good so the reasoning i gave bosco and there's a healthy debate uh between us i said you can always add shows you can never subtract if you start every day of the week and bosco finds out that it's just too much to work five hours a week he then takes the show away it's like the show is a show it's a show this is healthy debate is now a failure because you're taking shows away i said do two two shows a week to start the minute you feel comfortable and feel like it's a hit start adding it the people want more yeah you can always give them more you can never i like when you take it away in fairness see that's what i wanted to just unpack it all but we have expanded to an hour because the calls have been heavy so like yeah the calls will be heavy keep the calls heavy i would go half more the problem with two days a week for me is it's very hard in my brain to know what two days they are because it's just that's fair no then we got a reason so then so the option was for no friday right well that was what we originally talked yes like what everyone had originally talked about you're traveling on wednesdays wednesdays became like jet ski is kind of part of the show like i like that dynamic and you've seen it work like in the business i behind the glass monzo with with wfan i actually think you have a good one and locked out with jet ski yes he became available at the right time and he can do everything he's a beast he's an animal the trailer was what really like got people like oh shit like jet ski deserves a ton of credit for that yeah so i you may be on to something so you want them to add days because i i do yeah i give this advice to everyone like brandon wanted to do like a two-hour show mostly brandon needs more advice because yeah he's gonna do less yeah brandon is not on 19 shows and you don't know where you're getting brandon but dave let me ask you this if wednesdays became because the studio space here is difficult or like well it's only difficult for the next four weeks as soon as we're in the new office we have too many podcast studios fair enough but that is when you were starting so if you went if we took away wednesdays and you went monday tuesday thursday isn't that more chaotic than just monday thursday of like football season primetime games monday thursday you do four days a week in no way i think it's a good problem to have though because like i said you can always add i want i would keep it i think half an hour is good i think half an hour an hour can i think you it's it's fast and almost daily is what so maybe add tuesdays to add tuesdays and wednesdays i think wednesdays here would be great okay so do it so monday wednesday in person monday tuesday wednesday like like maybe if it you could all i don't know what do you think half an hour hour half an hour is tight but it does keep it fast it does remind me with the the pmt originally we tried to do it a half hour in the first episode we're like that was stupid that makes no sense for an advertiser perspective an hour is definitely gonna be where they want but i don't know there's something that's there's something about the the it's like pti works because it's always keeps moving in a half hour so maybe one topic so it's like if you're going back to watch it's like you don't have to consume a whole hour it's like all right this is one topic healthy debate you know you could also do it's in the process i get jack ton of credit he must have been fucking sober when he said it he was like you should just run those what i originally thought was the one topic which we have off that one did you see the first one i did it was like is my homes yeah no no no that but that's just that's that was all right to just be you don't know it's like opening it's like opening a bar you don't know if anyone's gonna show up when you when you're behind the sticks so like i said a couple of things then the calls come rolling in i'll give jack credit jack was like the whole show rather than just one topic of a guest should be you just run the gauntlet and things pop up i can't hardly wait which has worked those calls are great yes yeah but you have what did you think a will segment like nebraska was this was a big headline we went at it for 10 minutes you you have gotten better though at like because there is obviously your initial inclination with all these shows is to be like bob costa on the sports reporters and be like what's muhammad ali's legacy yes um so you have gotten better at that like where you realize that's not what people want to listen to yeah what what did you decide on the mahomes healthy debate i think they're i think he's i think he's got potential to go down as the best ever okay healthy debate that was good good debate but again i've said it to you a bunch of times like people do listen to part of my take because it's super entertaining but they also know that you know football so like there is an element i don't want to just my record shows that i probably fair enough but i want people to know you do know sports to an extent a little bit but i think this is a perfect mix yeah so far so so we're gonna extend it monday tuesday wednesday thursday yeah i think that's the way to go i think you you nail i think there's studio out figure out everything don't say studio space we'll figure that out that's not we got you we got we figure out a time that nothing else is going on and we do it i i oh so you're not oh okay what no are you you mean move it off of four o'clock or no no i we gotta there's nothing else that is live at four o'clock yeah right yeah then you own that time slot healthy debate healthy debate so our hours a lot it's been yeah i would do a half an hour yeah by the way you don't have to shut it off at half an hour not on if someone's a great call yeah right yeah yeah like the yak yeah you right yeah you could just be like it's a half hour show and sometimes it goes 45 yeah we've had that mix yeah so you that's good bosco you got a hit i can't believe it i've said it five times to myself i was i can't believe bosco found something a lot of it matters like again you you caught jet ski at the perfect time that he you need that person who's an animal very good and you look at his track record of who he's worked with like yeah seven thirties i'm a jet ski fan i've been a jet ski fan ever since he was the only one who publicly defended me um with the the league leader in t-shirts when when he's a soccer guy yeah when he did it and jet ski came out of the closet like this kid sucks no one else said jet ski so jet ski could suck and still say he's good but he is good so you so you're you're grinding rico did you work a half day yesterday though no uh i had to go meet with therapists got it that's good yeah i told you that i was you and i've told that i should have saved it for pick them but this story was yeah the counterfeit story so wait real quick advertisers i'm not looking to like beat down the thing but there is a natural segue we do the two-minute drill to end the show oh what fits for a two-minute drill isis oh brick watch should i bust out the brick watch for the last for the two-minute drill yeah just naturally working in all right perfect yeah mitzi what's the nice blue how's the the stella blue budget budget i know you start oh we'll we'll sponsor any show um this story i told it i should have held it but it's it was i couldn't believe i did it but i was at cancer fitzgerald asked me to do they do this huge charity event every 9-11 cancer fitzgerald's one of the firms that got hit during 9-11 i think they lost 652 people um and and it's a positive day like people are upbeat they have all sorts of celebrities there like mcgonaughey he's there eli manning was there um king henrik was there they have tons of people come through during the day and you make trades in the trade instead of the commission going to cancer fitzgerald it goes to the overall fund to help with victims remembrance all this stuff so great cause uh so i'm on the phone and i'm just doing my you know it's almost like our telephone where you talk to the actual people um so they raise the hand the trader's like hey someone wants to talk to you so come over the guy's like hey dave i'm a rider and i'm like oh damn he's like yeah i've been a rider for three years i'm like you're a rider even when he tried to uh kill someone with i knew he's like yeah like you're basically a terrorist on 9-11 day and cancer fitzgerald and i like yelled it and the second i said it i was like oh i i i just can't believe i said that everyone stopped luckily i was around stoolies because there's a lot of people who have no idea yeah yeah but to yell you're a terrorist at 9-11 day at cancer fitzgerald not good it's one of those moments where we just we live in like a bubble and then the outside world you're like oh fuck like people might not understand what i'm saying right now bosco actually did fight with isis yeah i well that was in my head when he's a rider the the isis photos came up and it just photoshopped i said it i was like i cannot fucking believe i just said that it's crazy all right i have a couple other things uh hey pick them listeners we're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners football season's here and whether you're grinding your way through the week or

out offers on the 2026 silverado at chevy.com all right now back to the episode uh i have a question rico do you know do you know the app telegram yeah have you ever used it yeah i've used it are you rearming via telegram no not rearming via telegram so for people who don't know what telegram is can you explain it to us i think it's like a alternate text service okay i think it's similar to snapchat it like disappears and stuff the cheating texting service yeah it's a cheat yeah where like they can't track you it's yeah yeah yeah um a little birdie told me that you started using telegram to get the riders all together that's a theory yeah what's going on what's going on in telegram we had some guys with uh zoom issues so they were like just give me the notes in print i was like all right so we're the minutes yeah can you read the minutes no not publicly you have to you got to be in on it what well but why would you use telegram unless like that seems like a weird thing to choose unless you don't want there's another organization that uses telegram to get the riders all together yeah i think it's a good idea i think it's a good idea to use telegram to communicate with their people who isis isis okay so you're is this how you're getting back in touch with the boys over in the middle east get everybody on one thing they don't limit you to 20 on a text in terms of iphone okay shout out iphone so what what how many people do you have uh move it up me he's gonna tap on it make sure it's on the wait so rico what's yeah it's like a mass tech it's like a tech service basically how many people are on this you said you can't do 20 in a in iphone no yeah you can only so how many people are on this telegram group well now that they know i'm on but uh what what they huh you can get to 50 or 100 what does that mean now that they know you're on that sounds like that's not how we weren't there was a dormant group waiting for like their leader to return or something yeah it's back that's not how it's like text message service right that's i think they call that sleeper cells they knew the sleeper cells are awake zooms are not zooms are not mandatory attendance anymore we've shifted to telegram where you can't be tracked right how many people that grows every day they're shifting over how many people are 100 on the tech group tech wow holy shit there's a hundred hardcore riders on the encrypted text message service it literally is how every like terrorist movie there's like sleeper cells where the terrorists just sit there and wait for them to come back and they're like oh my god i'm not for years sometimes until they get marching orders you're we and and we're like starting to piece together like all the little pieces of rico rearming and they're like okay i guess you're on telegram now like we at some point if this goes bad we're gonna be culpable because we didn't stop it always you go back and look at the files like they could stop it there the minute he went on telegram they should have shut it down but what so give me a couple minutes from the meeting who's snitching don't worry about it dude take a fucking guess no no no are you in this no i'm not in it they're in the room the snitches who's the snitches ebo and jet okay well is it is it a now let me ask your question is it a snitch move if you accidentally invited them to your sleeper cell telegram yes okay that's like when but that's actually your fault jerry springer wrote a personal check to a hua he got nailed that's how he got thrown out of all wait you gotta can't leave a paper trail right that's on me but you did that yeah they're not part of the group no but they were invited right so that jerry springer doesn't wait yeah talking to mike so telegram on desktop will send all your contacts a notification that you signed up for telegram that's how i didn't even know yeah telegram because that's how they would like communicate to the viceroys so i got a notification when rico yeah it's crazy like our boy there silverstein is silver sign the daily beast he's missing the real story like he's doing like they're using like burner account there's like an actual like terrorist within the organization sneaky rearming and he has no under his nose i was pissed joe yanks didn't get a shout out in that article joe you've been cutting up some clips yeah they've been using the names of the accounts that would have been great the funniest part about that was a list apparently he asked me for comment and one of the questions was uh on a 2020 barstool sports tournament and he was like i'm gonna put this on a burner so we don't get dmca'd what did you mean by that it's like i mean what do you mean i said do you have a problem with playing into it a little bit and having some fun with it for stool scenes i have an idea i'll run it to you after camera but gaz said we're up by you let's hear the idea no because i mean everybody's so stupid we'll cut it is it a bit i replied to him with bs one two three four five six one so okay all right i think i'm willing well no you didn't guess that you didn't know me and guys he's like run it by run it by dave if he wants to play into it because all right we got it all right we get it just do it we'll cut it all right yeah just say it good idea bosco all right give us the minutes give us some minutes you know we're just a couple things just pumping them up we want we want targets like they're like hey i see you spitting chiclets is going at somebody like can we go can we just wait wait do the burpees do the burpees be ready to train and nothing else there will be a big moment for you in the like it's like the guy in the bullpen it throws a hundred but like just literally quite literally terrorist talk like just just wait there'll be a big moment for you like you'll get your marching orders yeah but it's for a cause of a guy who for years didn't want us to to work for him and then in the the true rebuild is when you come out of the office and go like this whoa oh my god what the i don't think i raised higher than you know you were you were higher than that i went here you were way higher than that anyone who knows sports yeah you locked in your basement listening to pink floyd fucking popping purple pills you don't know baseball you don't know that that's bullpen and you waited to bring the right arm for two seconds it was like this he goes left oh yeah all right should have went right fair enough i guess technically you would go like that right isn't that what the h-man did the leader maybe like everyone else will salute to you maybe you know we need a we need a rider salute all right uh that was all i had unless you guys had anything else let's do football i stink some football i stink yeah so record well you you i need my fault awesome uh for you well who's keeping track of picks in here jack can you i need like i guess i haven't it's just i i gotta know his picks i'm not being he's so bad it's horrible yeah it's bad you all of this pit separate yeah yeah i lost my national champion yeah yeah fuck you by the way i'm gonna tell you which ones i really did have it like i they also still could go 12-1 and i'll know his losers and they'll i'll mark be like send me that one in here send me that one yeah yeah yeah i'll say it as we go like send me that one send me that one no you mushed the badgers i never thought that there were a national championship bet and you mushed them and you did that on purpose i can't wait why would you what we're doing okay why would you i saw that reply you're like why do you think i did it on purpose but i said it in the moment i was like i know what you're doing yeah i really did think they could make it well i i said last week when we talked about that dreams go to die yeah when we talked about that game i said i don't think that they're gonna win this game i'm very nervous uh so yeah last week rico five and nine dave 11 and four nice week dave thanks i was 14 and 12 also funny i didn't capitalize because i bet so much money on the sabalenka um yeah that was bad yeah that was also great because roll tide willie was we were dave was just like dying with tennis in the middle of alabama game day and roll tide willie was just like we're like do you like tennis he's like if you're playing that guy is a fucking for anybody if the tide's playing um serious i was terrible i my ads were terrible i also in a like we've been doing this so long we've been gambling so long the the sixth sense of gamblers dave nailed it the two lane game i had all miss like they were up 10 i was covering because it was minus seven they got a scoop and score and dave just said you're gonna need that later it's gonna come back to bite you because it was a meaningless scoop and score for my number and then of course the texas tech oregon it was literally that you can't can't waste those yeah like last set you you got your cover you can't have a useless scoop and score it it it hurt me too i i had uh i had texas tech as well that that was a joke yeah bosco had oregon oregon in the under yeah yeah we nailed colorado though what did you want to do do you want to watch nebraska do that same shit or we have to have fun rooting for college sometimes the squares can win yeah we you said it too how can

officially uh apple picking weekend it's a little too you say that too but it's a little early but the weird thing is you don't want to root for other weeks down the road and declare those bad you get what i'm saying like you would hope every saturday is loaded what okay if i don't get that all right fair okay i'll explain well i mean the schedule is the schedule i understand what are you talking like let's say in three weeks you look at it and you're like yeah it's okay you shouldn't want to make that bad and say that's apple picking week who's who's what are you talking about just people in general who's us i want every week to be great there you go so then the way i look at that is in three weeks don't try to turn a c card into an f and say that's apple i don't know what you're talking okay healthy debate healthy debate right now right now it's okay i'll have to be able to explain it guys turned on me you're trying to put apple week at me yes picking weekend in a box right now no no no no no right now this week we would say all right you're on telegram right now with your chair i can speak to myself okay right now this is no no this card is an f correct yes okay in three weeks there might be a c minus card you say it's a little too early for apple weekend don't try no that's yes that's fair enough literally just weather related got it but don't try those aren't on the i understand that but don't try to turn the c minus into an f and say that's apple picking weekend now we got two bad ones just what are you talking just live with the bad weekend what is he talking about you're saying that we got to go apple picking when the apples aren't ready to be picked that has nothing to do with football you the orchards aren't ready yet oh because otherwise zero would be apple picking so i never go apple picking it's like all i'm saying is you get like don't try to make two weeks bad it's and you say i'm not trying to make it bad two weeks bad i'm saying people in general who there will be a week in october or november where it doesn't even have to be the full day it could just be the the the 11 o'clock games two 30 games be like hey here's a day that i don't have to be in front of the tv all day got it and i can go do this it's not like a we're not trying to make it bad it literally when you said apple picking the answer is it's not really it's not apple picking season if it is it's only like one variety and it's early late september early october that's just the weather okay okay he's just all i'm trying to say i've heard it all the time like yeah there's you know it's the sandwich don't have too bad bites what are you talking about enjoy the football season you you have to come to my defense here you only get a certain amount you only get a certain amount of games it's 15 weeks this card i'm gonna still watch every game yes but it stinks right you're i think you're taking the apple picking as like a metaphor as opposed to like i actually like to go apple picking yeah like i'm not gonna apple pick this i never apple right i do i think you the way you should look at is just go when there's one variety don't turn the c-minus in a couple of weeks what don't you get you are so dumb so I don't know what you're getting i it's like i can't go to a restaurant if it's closed i can't you probably can it's not apple picking so don't sell yourself short okay whatever i i i can't i'm not trying i guess i'm just looking at like don't ruin two weeks yeah what are you talking about what you're saying is there's going to be a week later on in the year where we're gonna not watch and be like you're not gonna watch and be like i don't know what you're getting i can't go to a restaurant don't ruin two weeks yeah what are you talking about what you're saying is there's gonna be a week like well it's apple picking week even though it's like decent games but i even think he's saying we're just gonna say this is an apple picking week like as a metaphor of it's just say a way to say it's bad football right like you if under your what you're saying rico apple picking week is week zero no you're excited for the kickoff right but those are the worst games there's like six but it's you waited all summer for it and it's pre-labor day right right you can't apple pick then this is september 15th it it yeah i guess i got turned on the because i don't actually understand apple picking like i don't go but all i'm saying is in a couple weeks don't just try to make that weekend but we won't we'll be honest about every car all right fair enough because teams could rise up in the one in three weeks of course yeah okay talking but like there will be apple let's take a look i'm not gonna find a random date in october and be like this card actually stinks even though it's good no i'm saying it is a see my and you try to make it worse how do you make it worse by going apple picking you just rule it out all right let's take like how do we get top 25 let me put this way let me put this way next week's loaded no way i actually went 99th find i don't know what we're talking about he's trying to find the apple picking weekend now find it rico what do you got that's right red river you can't do that no that's loaded this is a francesa bit now this just started 21st that's what i'm saying i mean this just started i think by you saying go apple picking and i'm like it's not ready to go out yeah it's it's like go why don't go trick-or-treating it's like well it's not halloween that makes sense yeah it makes sense you you spun me on it you're right wait a couple weeks i guess and then to dance also yeah just pick a certain couple of weeks and then you're hours and then you miss those games okay but i think what you're hung up on is like you don't have to go apple picking oh i never will go apple picking oh tough guy no not just saying worms traffic leaving the house you're gonna watch every game yeah okay anyway this is apple picking weekend anyone who goes apple picking this weekend tag us let us know the product you know yeah let us know how they're not all varieties all right yeah we'll see like you should be able to take a pumpkin home from the the apple yeah double dip can i finish you should be able to take a pumpkin home from the orchards and probably put it out right on your stoop or whatever the same day we're not ready for pumpkins outside the stoop yet when do you think fall officially starts healthy debate i think it's i think like fall real real fall is october you know like it's baseball playoffs week is like that's like the first like man this feels like obviously people say after labor day but it still can be like 85 degrees right warm we're in like a transition keep your pool open till the end of september yeah it's a transition period i feel like that first whatever it is like thursday when they have uh four mlb games yeah in the afternoon and it gets dark at like 5 45 that's like oh yeah like leaves really haven't turned yet yeah should have talked about this at the beginning dan but how about uh pat pev just confirming that rico's the most skilled out of the big three what do you what do you mean rico's calling himself chris bosh yesterday oh and pat pev was like he was the best player on that team most skilled player on that team oh right i thought i thought you said that was it you were pat who said no rico's like i'm chris pat said well yeah i honestly yeah i said i'm so long pat vev was talking nonsense by the end of it you choked out pat pev no it's just not true yeah it is we're talking ball talking sets roan was everyone's involved different topics he's sitting in the chair where my desk is sitting in the chair where my desk is sitting in the chair where my desk is sitting well he was standing next to you no before early in the morning he's sitting at the desk how was your breath yesterday was it okay yeah it was fine okay all right good because i mean that's a long talk yeah you don't want to have bad breath i keep trying to sell him on the knicks i was pissed he didn't go to the knicks sure that's a worthy conversation now that's sure signed on the sixers yeah fair enough did it look like pat pev was in distress at all i mean jay didn't and like i said he sold the company like two weeks later i mean jay didn't and like i said he sold the company like two weeks later papa's gonna quit tomorrow it's like it just didn't work out one guy put me in a chokehold uh okay let's get to some games bad games but i'm gonna watch them all uh first up lsu mississippi state mississippi state plus nine and a half over under is 54 and a half it's at mississippi it's in starkville mississippi state kind of struggled with arizona i had arizona yeah uh recall i'll start with you lsu blind i just trust brian kelly a little bit more i'm gonna take lsu okay yeah i like lsu i think they bounce back in a big way here and uh win big i kind of like mississippi state in this game i'm gonna take mississippi state in the over i also these are the cards going back to the apple picking discussion when the games are even worse that means i'm gonna have like 50 bets yeah you need the winners too it's gonna be it's gonna be the you need the winners i would like to find the winners you need the winners in these more than the other games right to an extent kind of yeah because think of it this way alabama texas what a winner's a winner it is a winner but it's you're less prepared like alabama texas you knew the feel you knew you knew everything about that watching this net i got it wrong the guys who were supposed to be on the undercard are now in the main event what you got it it's harder to know a little bit more about those games i didn't expect lsu and mississippi state to lead the fucking show here but it's not your fault no but you know that's where you're at i'm just curious why do we need the winners more i would like the winners all the time i would too there's never a time when i need the well actually there we need the winners more in this because in alabama texas we had a feel all week yeah all week you so we need the winners more i think in this one when the undercard rises to the top yeah you need them a little bit more it's no sense okay he's making no sense am i i feel like honestly i don't want i like the zoom lander like i'm taking crazy pills but the last since the apple picking discussion i don't know anything that you're saying what are you you're always fucking confused you're saying that you know more about those other games look at your record but but yeah but just i it makes no sense like you know what was interesting in alabama i thought jack was gonna be out of out of touch because usually when uh there's an eight uh phrase with eight letters of roll blank usually jack wants to do roll face not roll fucking time earlier this week what's the big show jack oh you're using jokes you test them out test them out with the pals work the material yeah this is the nine apparently uh i heard from i got birdies too that jack's in the stadium smacky jables again a little fucking they're yelling at jack from the rafters well listen jack and spider did say to me before when we got to alabama they're like look if we if we fall in love are there two seats open on the plane i was like of course so i think they been on a private jet baby oh you should have seen him at the final four we'll take a quick we'll take a quick midnight trip back to chicago no name no name drop no name drops but there's a major major tiktoker out there who's from new jersey uh may have gone to the u.s open this week and jack may or may not have pulled the most athletic move of his life at the final four the rest of us uh you know enjoying ball jack's like well over there section 137 he's looking at fucking screen grabs like a uh bank robber of fucking uh wherever we were in houston to try to get into the arena fake he's photoshop he's got bob and quigs photoshopping miami student ids try getting the pizza hut shout out pizza hut section oh there's water look at me i'm skinny and malnutritioned of course i'm 21 you should see him whipping around in his bends oh it's insane he looks awesome he looks awesome all right upon you ever do a quaalude all right washington michigan state michigan when what time is the lsu game lsu's at 11 or noon eastern it's early scc network uh megan and brandon will be streaming for that one so watch watch that stream uh washington michigan state that makes me a little more nervous yeah early game 11 local i love washington michigan state's dead oh okay knicks runs it up mel tucker yeah dead dirt bag do you all these big 10 schools are turning into dirt bag i have a first of all that headline is absolutely preposterous when i read it that the you know the sexual assault for a harassment for somebody brought in for sexual harassment prevention it is one of those k and i don't like little brother you like you have to let the details of that case play out and and you more than anything like mel tucker's an idiot for even putting himself in that situation you also have to let the details of that case play out you have to at least mention that he has a 70 million dollar buyout unless he's fired with cause so it's like that is part of the story okay all right now you jump to a gun right off the bat but there are like yeah all right i'm obviously sensitive to this type shit but like he's blatantly saying yes i had a consensual relationship what is being said is a total fucking lie and she's saying no it's not and he'll go to court and you'll they'll both have their day but there's two very different sides to this story being fair enough right now and again the buyout's huge is is whether you want it to be part of the story or not it absolutely plays into michigan state what they're like how this all plays out so i i agree it's like one of those situations like can we just figure out what i what exactly happened and then make the judgment fair enough um so i'm taking the over in this game washington i had washington over last week and they should have scored like i think they had like 800 combined yards against tulsa maybe and they should have that should have gone over and it's just not finishing drives but i like the over in this game washington's electric the pac-12 has just the best quarterbacks out there eight ranked teams it's unbelievable yeah no they are the story and even the bed like i think arizona's bed deloria is like good yeah good quarterback yeah what do you got in this game dave i'm gonna take the point uh it seems like it's a no-brainer to go washington but i don't know i i i'm not gonna bet it but for the purpose of this show i'll take missions and also mark d'antonio is back on the sideline he's gonna wear a head headset that i mean i didn't know oh they could rally yeah that i didn't know that yes shit i'm pretty sure that's confirmed right can someone find that if d'antonio is back on the side i'm pretty sure in the game he was like i'll do whatever you guys need and then i think it's he's gonna be on the sideline like pseudo coaching what's the over 57 and a half oh wow and i give me that switch so that's which that's a real associate coach yeah what 16 i think oh sorry yes he's he's gonna be on the sideline yeah 16 and 16 right now i'm looking at it over 57 and a half no i'm taking the just over give me give me off the sides over okay next one byu arkansas yeah this might you might be right this might be give me byu i thought arkansas was an spot last week to smash kent state because after week zero or week one we were like kent state's the worst team in the country arkansas maybe they didn't show them anything but they did not put up a ton of points against kent state who was horrific byu is alive here spunky it's a horrific trip obviously across the country but just give me byu something about arkansas seems like they might lose this one outright you think so i don't know right something something about arkansas does not seem good put that on the card of circle that as fair enough as you have every right to do that i i know put this as an absolute play against enrico i will take arkansas i will be betting this uh with live bullets huge i love everything rico said there and to do the opposite i don't i don't he says things that i don't even he doesn't know what's coming out of his mouth like byu is live and spunky i don't know what that means rico doesn't know what that means as an underdog byu has always been and no this is a different byu team because you're talking about arkansas not putting up a lot of points last week i like the quarterback he's back byu um week one versus sam houston state 14 nothing at home please uh i think they at arkansas they get the run game going they kill him um and i love that rico's against it yeah uh i am going to take the under in this it's an absolute this is what he does he builds it up he's like i watched them last week they could have put up points no arkansas like he's like they didn't score last week he he cannot separate one week from the other it was the oregon texas tech and the utah baylor everything is life i love jack make sure i want i want the notification yep before they came yeah uh fair enough i've been called all right byu arkansas i'm gonna take the under 47 and a half right now i think it's gonna move which sucks because it's 47 and a half over is minus 115 all right another one hey pick them listeners we're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our listeners the course is calling and your chevy equinox can take on

couple good games night night slate we got at least some good matchups uh pit west virginia backyard brawl i know that neither team is ranked but it is the backyard brawl that game last year was phenomenal uh let's see the updated line right now is pit minus one over under is 50 and a half at west virginia i'll start i'm gonna take the over this is a backyard brawl over 50 and a half i don't know i don't know what's i kind of lean pit but i i don't know i'm gonna go home team just purely home team west virginia yeah rico uh sorry i was fucked up i want to go you okay no i'm looking at the spread damn it's a pick them um i just said this i know i know i know uh pit what were you looking at the spread i just said the spread you i got all in front of us i'm doing the lines as of right now so we don't get any funny business usc minus two ten i know i don't know the big games as it's going no but he just needed it that's the thing yeah i got it i got it i literally look you see this see that see that i have the fair have the lines okay what's the line one okay uh good boy last game florida tennessee uh let's see updated lines florida plus six and a half over under 58 and a half this game is i think it opened it florida plus eight so it's gone all the way down to six and a half and i i agree with it i kind of liked florida when they were plus eight obviously i missed that but i feel like i feel like florida will be in this game i didn't i talked to milton i talked to big t and i was like what happened last week thanks they kind of struggle with austin p he stinks and remember it was my quarterback milton tough we sold the fucking t-shirts he stinks he throws a 50-yard pass at the same velocity of a two-yard swing pass he stinks i gotta take florida based on that's grand mertz though i that's grand mertz listen if florida's catching six uh florida's given six i take tennessee whatever i just no i i can't bet on joe milton can't okay rico i think he stinks as well but there's some element of tennessee just all those years of florida owning them and the jokes and spurrier and all that shit well they they exercised the demons last year too yeah i know the game means a ton still to tennessee and it's stringing together wins where do we see the rival like both teams what it means a lot okay dan oh i'm sorry who all right who's owned it for the last 25 years florida okay if tennessee won last year tennessee got it if tennessee can get a momentum of two in a row three you know like they're building what is the record of the last five is it four and i don't even know i'm let's see florida florida hasn't been like good for a long time not tennessee i know tennessee pulled that upset i think in like 18 with that weird feeling i'm looking at it right now florida versus tennessee wins pedia so that is let's see full game list uh clues all right so we've got tennessee last year then florida one two three four five years in a row than tennessee in 2016 so yeah it has been florida it has been florida let's see it feels like tennessee's won twice out of last like yeah then historically didn't florida win like yeah like 10 in a row you're going to spurrier the florida actually didn't win that many in a row but it's the peyton manning quote from spurrier like this what was it citrus bowl can't spell ut without citrus or something florida won a ton in uh you're i think what you're thinking of from 19 or sorry tennessee from 1916 to 1953 they went undefeated yeah so that's that's pretty dominant uh fair enough yeah i don't know i think as bad as milton is tennessee may just finds a little more inspiration here i don't love florida uh give me tennessee okay what it's just the things he says are so i don't network like i here's maybe it's not that good you may be right you may be right that like tennessee beats florida by 30 it's not going to be because they find a little more inspiration that's just your little lines get me like he just says these little lines that have nothing to do with anything well you were never in a college football locker room so you're counting yours got him got him yeah i mean i have been in college football the the issue i think not with the pads on i have might as well be a when michigan what was that they put the pads on is that video out there yeah i get the helmet pads the issue rico is nuts dude you so like i don't know i'm picking blindly this game i don't know i try to get i don't really do any research stuff reasoning that make no sense it's okay to say i don't know i'm just taking this side you you have you try to do the reasoning that makes no sense to then get to the try to put my myself i'm taking the over because i'm watching the game yeah and i'm taking the over i try to put my myself in their shoes the players it's like you want you just don't think people are paying attention or you try to slide things by and and i wish i could let them slide by i tried to but you just say things that i know make no sense it's like i gotta say it byu they're spunky like what they are spunky they're spunky oh uh so i'm gonna take over 58 and a half here uh okay you want to do the last ad and then we'll do our cards hey pick them listeners we're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners when you serve a boar's head sweet slice ham something magical happens born from a family recipe it's expertly smoked and crafted for carving this is the ham that will bring everyone and everything together boar's head sweet slice ham compromise elsewhere all right now back to the episode i need a big week boys i'm i've been uh i'm nervous because i didn't capitalize to the level i should have last week and i was pretty fucking good but my biggest bets sabalinka and the patriots i need a big week i'm i'm i'm already licking my wounds and it's week three it's a bad spot to be in yep i had a moment last night where my wife was buying shoes i was like oh those are expensive she's like you know our biggest expense is your gambling and i was like what and she's like do you gamble more than fifteen thousand dollars a month and i was like i was like i gotta go to bed i don't want to have this conversation she got me very quick it was a like a total uno reversal say that my goody i was just like fuck damn it uh okay rico you want to do card yeah uh it's it's been tough i think you gotta sometimes go back to the well with what works let's go to the list yeah let's go wisconsin minus 19 and a half bama minus 32 the brass what is the what is the list again it's a power five programs coming off of a loss playing an inferior opponent got it far inferior opponent you can't just say if alabama was playing mississippi state right now they're inferior but they're not far inferior conference games out it's got to be non-conference wisconsin minus 19 and a half bama minus the 32 nebraska minus 10 and a half arizona minus the 17 and a half and a and m minus the 30 you know what shout out danny boy kane miami put it on hold hold a and m give me a and m first half when that comes out and give me the over 53 and a half for a and m why what what what i just there what 36 and a half i wonder if they're going to show them enough late like i think they get is are you doing the list or you're not i am doing the list but the better i think the better option is the first half well you can't go back and forth on the list you can't the list is either the list it's my oh it's not my list it's my no but you all right you know what a and m a and m 36 and a half if you want the first half too yeah if you pick and choose the list i think i'll probably add i think i'll add some of these first halves as well because bama first half game and over for a and m yeah and i'll add some first halves with that i like i'm surprised this didn't make the card this should have made this card honorary because we talk about this game on pick them it seems like every year somehow and i'll be shocked if dave doesn't have a side is it red bandana no colorado colorado state oh feel like that's we don't talk about that every year definitely not okay not what are you talking about colorado's been terrible okay not i would it never makes the full card but somebody always has an opinion on the game well right what we're doing right now yeah right yeah we just somebody you mean you were shocked we didn't talk about it the card is that bad it's beyond but you said you you said it's just a you said someone usually nowhere else is umass getting coverage we talk about umass we talk about dead mascots colorado colorado state is a perfect pick them you should be a pick them bowl it's a pick them game no but it's been so bad i know but we have not always had a play on it all right but over 59 you said on he's on the cards yeah i do have it as i have a game yeah but that's good it's all different jones at colorado he's made it a little more now i will say we've been doing it for a long time i do feel like this uh used to be a week zero slash one game and now it's a game where if it was we probably talked about more yeah yeah yeah they used to play they would play is this in uh denver at mile high or they play home in colorado it's colorado because we almost went that that's right game day is there actually this week Yeah, and I think Gus Johnson just lives in Boulder now. Yeah, right. Fox has done all three games. Oregon, Hawaii, over 68-and-a-half. San Jose State, Toledo, over 57-and-a-half. They got two good quarterbacks. And South Alabama plus the seven against Oklahoma State. Okay. Dave? I'm going to keep – for some reason I have an absolute mental block against the quarterback's name. Who – the lumberjack from Notre Dame. Sam Hartman. Sam Hartman. I keep saying it. He's so good. I'm going to keep betting on Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame. And he's still sleepy in the Heisman, like, race. Agreed. He's great odds. I haven't looked at their schedule, but all they need is one big win and the Notre Dame effect and his effect. He's going to rock it up there. I think Notre Dame's in this all the way to the end because he's that good. Notre Dame. I was 34-and-a-half against CMU. Cincinnati, I had them last week. I have a minus 14 against Miami of Ohio. I could be doing a little bit of a boss go. You know what? I am. Take that off. What was that game? Miami of Ohio, Cincinnati. I was overreacting to Miami beating Miami of Ohio, but Miami's pretty good. I had Toledo over 57-and-a-half against San Jose. Rico also is on that. I'll change that to the under. It's 58-and-a-half. 58-and-a-half. Perfect. UNLV plus 4-and-a-half at home against Vandy. UNLV is getting better. They were like the worst team ever a couple years ago, but they're starting to turn it around a little bit. Arkansas minus 8 against BYU at home. Oh, this is like my office. Oh, no. You clicked it with your back. Kentucky minus 25-and-a-half at home versus Akron. They struggled too last week. I had Kentucky. That was weird. West Virginia minus 1 against Pitt. I had, and I loved it, loved it, loved it. The over in Oregon, Hawaii, over 68-and-a-half. Rico, you had the over. I will go under. You understand now I can't win. You know you can win. If you get it right, you win. If I do start turning it around, you're going to be motherfucking me. No, stop doing it. Oh, okay. All right. You can only control about yourself. You should root for yourself. I got you. But to me, when I end up on something I love, that obvious, like Hawaii-Oregon, it's like, ooh, I love it, 68-and-a-half. And then I hear a square, put it on their card. I'm not even insulting you. This is smart game. It's like that is a red flag, an alarm. You are a square, Dave. You got squared. The biggest square in the history of Earth is on the squarest pick there is, and that's why I reverse it. If you change and you start winning, I'll stop doing it. The over in Colorado, Colorado State, 59-and-a-half. If anything's going to be sneaky for Colorado, I can see this being, they're way better, but I'll let down a little bit. LSU, minus 9-and-a-half, Mississippi State. And Michigan State, plus 16 at home against, who are they playing? Washington. Washington. Okay. My card. Again, I need this. You already have my Mississippi State, all that stuff. Maryland, minus 14-and-a-half against Virginia. Memphis, minus 14-and-a-half at home against Navy. I think that's Friday or Thursday. Yeah. Toledo, minus 8-and-a-half, over 58-and-a-half. So I'm with you there on Bosco. I'm with you. Iowa State, minus 3 at Ohio. What did you guys think about the Florida State line? Is it a trap? What is it? 25-and-a-half against at BC. No, I think BC's terrible. BC is terrible. It's a sleepy place to play. It's an early game. I'm going to stay away. Is this the Red Bandana game? No, I don't think so. That theory, they haven't done good anyways. It jumped out to me, and then I was like, wait a second. Am I just falling for this? BC's bad. It's just a huge spread. Alabama, minus 32-and-over 61-and-a-half. I have the Mississippi State, LSU, over 54-and-a-half. ECU, App State, over 49. Houston, TCU, over 63. I'm actually going under. I'm against the guys. Colorado, Colorado State, under 58-and-a-half. Or 59-and-a-half. Houston. TCU, over 63. Colorado, Colorado State, under 59-and-a-half. I'm doing this because they're college kids, and it feels like it has to. Colorado's going to win this game, but there has to be at least a little bit of deflation at some point. I said that in my pick, but I think it's going to go the other way. Really? Bad defense? Norvell is with Colorado State. They switched over this freshman quarterback, and they put up 21. All right. Strike it. I'm not going to take that under. I kind of like that over. Okay. Yeah, I'm not going to take that game. Nevada, Kansas, over 58-and-a-half. And then I'll just do my mortal lock. I'm doing the Washington-Michigan State over 57-and-a-half as my mortal lock. I think Washington will light it up. Light it up. And I will have ads. Yep. There will be ads. A lot of ads. I assumed. This is going to be a Saturday morning where I'm like, I like everything. Uh, Dave, wait. Did I say Troy minus two-and-a-half? Troy minus two-and-a-half. James Madison just beat Virginia. Huge win for them. They have to go to Troy. I just feel like that's a spot that I like. I like that pick. Um, Dave, your mortal lock. I'm going to go UNLV plus four-and-a-half at home versus Vandy. I think they beat Vanderbilt. Oh, I just had a flashback. Remember that guy? Yes. Oh, he fucked us so bad. I do. That guy. We did a live show. A live stream in Denver. Didn't we win that? No, I think we lost. No, I think we won that. Did we? Yeah, we won that. He was all in UNLV. Yeah, we won that. Okay. Uh. We thought we were going to lose, so we were motherfucking about. We won that. Yeah. And then, uh. All right, so you have UNLV plus four-and-a-half. Jack, I'll finish with the recap. Uh, Washington minus 16-and-a-half. Okay, Washington minus 16-and-a-half. Hank? Michigan State plus 16. I like that. Ooh, 16-and-a-half. Zupi? Is that just a D'Antonio pick? Yeah, I like that. I'm going. And also, we. We should. Hank, you're going to. You have to be honest here. Well, yeah, I'm doing. I'm trying to find a Big Ten, you know, Big Ten team. This week is Michigan State. So, he's going to a Michigan State bar. Oh. So, he's. Do you know which one you're going? Are you going here? Or at Michigan State? No, here. Oh, okay. Fuck you fucking. There's one right down the road. Shugging for fucking. It's drivable. Yeah, I walked right by it. It had a state flag on it. Oh, Tim Lizzie's had a spot in New York. That's the one I've heard. I don't know. I don't know which one. They closed, though. That one's good, Hank. I used to live across the street from there. Zoopy. But that is. You have to admit that's bias, Hank. Yeah. What are you laughing about? Tim Lizzie's had a spot in New York. It closed. Cousin owner? Healthy debate. No. I don't know if it's the same spot. No, there's a bunch of Tim Lizzie's. Yeah. Generally in college towns, I thought. Yeah, I don't know. All right, Zoopy. I'm going Penn State, 14 and a half. Illinois. Illinois. At home? Is it? Is it Penn State at home? It's away. Away. Okay. Ebo. Yeah. What is it? Mississippi State plus nine and a half. Rico. Austin doesn't pick? Austin, you want to pick? Yeah, go ahead. True. Okay. Well, I mean. Inclusion. Yeah, no. Instead of squeezing people out, maybe I bring new people into the list. Austin, what's your pick? I've never. You don't bet, right? No. Forget. No. No. Awesome. What's your pick? He doesn't have a pick. Good. Yeah. All right. Make sure he's on the standings next week. Zero on zero. It's just so Rico knows he's not getting squeezed out. Camera guy got a pick? Just give you a fucking pick, Rico. What's your pick? Rico. Michigan to cover. There you go. All right. Just give you a pick. K-State. You want to go down on the street and just find someone? K-State minus five. Against? Mizzou. Kleiman's my guy. Will Howard's my guy. They go get it done. Got to go to your friends when you're really, really bad. Will Howard's still there? Yeah. Huh. I mean, I have to take it because I've been riding Rico's Mortal Locks. We got to get a win. We got to get on the board. Can't go over. Yeah, I have to take it. I said that I'm going to be a rider until he. I can't fully be a rider until he wins me money. Yes. And you're 0-3. I've taken every single one of your Mortal Locks. Let's get on the board. Let's get K-State. Let's get K-State. K-State. Okay. Good pick'em, boys. We'll see everyone next week. Good luck to everyone. Apple picking weekend? Go out. Yeah. Tag us. Tag us in your Apple picking. Tag Rico. And tune in to Healthy Debate, which next week will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

And Jackie on the ones and twos. I'll be your Jet Steed in Chicago for your Wednesday show. I don't want to. Oh, you don't want me? Okay. No, I don't want to change it up if it's working. Don't change anything just yet. You're just going to produce yourself? So you're going to bring Jet Ski? I don't know. Are you going to stay at my house on Tuesday? Potentially. Can that get. Can that get. Can I get zoomed in? Or can we. Can he patch in the callers from New York to a spot in Chicago? We're going to have to figure that out. Yeah, I know. I think Stella might bite you because you give off bad vibes. 100%. I'm just saying that right now. Just a heads up. She doesn't bite, but she will. Aggressively bark at people she thinks have bad vibes. So that will be a big test for you. Fair enough. Huge test. Okay, good picking, boys.
