We are here, good, good slate last weekend, not the best games, but a lot of, like, mix up. Overall, how we're thinking about the college football landscape. I placed a future that we can get into. We have a good slate this week. First, I want to do a little catch up, Dave. I haven't talked to you, I've texted with you, but I haven't talked to you since a pizza fest. Looked incredible, looked like a huge, awesome moment for you. I wanted to personally apologize I wasn't able to make it. If I had still lived in Brooklyn or Staten Island, I would have made it no problem. So I just wanted to apologize for that. Same. If I lived really close, I would have been there. You know I would have been there. Yeah. A ton of people were there supporting it, so I appreciate everyone to come. Don't they sent me a text after? He's like, you should really make a list of the people who didn't show up like to support it because that's surreal. I didn't notice. I'm not even being facetious till we sat down. I didn't even think about Rico not being there, but wait, I wasn't, well, I was just saying if I lived in Brooklyn or Staten Island, I'm not even joke like, why didn't you go, Rico? I blogged, college football Saturday. I blogged. Couldn't stop. Bye. Okay. You're right. It won't happen again. Like I for years of not working and doing stuff on your own and enjoying your own moments. Great thing to give me. It's a company thing. All right. So give me, give me the real reason because I know that's not it. Dave. Like, like, we don't, like, don't lie to me when you start lying. We go down. I'm not even. I'm not lying. So your choice is like, do I want to go show face support Dave's pizza fest or I got a blog in your thought was, he's going to say, I didn't blog if I'm at the pizza fest. No. It was a, you've said a bunch of times, just tell the truth. I know you're lying. I'm not lying, dude. I have. We've been doing pretty good here. It's a college football Saturday. You walked around the office and went, robot, robot, like, hey, we got to have guys rotating in on the weekends. That's working. That's working. I choose a major festival. You didn't go to that. No, right. I thought vlogging would be a better move for what was going on. I don't believe you. Okay. I don't know how we got here. I was just apologizing for me not being there and I'm not like, I honestly didn't think about it. I do not for a second believe that was the reason. All right. It's a big deal. It looked awesome. I understand. I can't believe it. Like this is. What? It's all right. You get bored of normal and it's fine. It's fine. Wait, I'm not talking about you. I apologize for myself. I feel bad. It's all good. I saw it. I saw it. You can't change. You'll never change. You're a piece of shit. No. You're a scumbag. And then you act normal. And then you throw just I saw bombs and expect me not to like go like this like, okay. I saw all those people there and I had full mode. I got full mode. Not being there. I mean, let me tell you this. I know this guy. Paul goes this. He says guy did not want to be there. He showed up. I think for Grant. I guess what he did. He walked in. Be lined it to find me. Said hello. And then be lined at the hell out of there. Like I guarantee you, he just went just to make sure like. I made eye contact with him there. I didn't really think about it till Dan brought up. I didn't bring it up. I apologize to myself. Tommy Nate Balls. Caroline Joey Kamas. Gabe Pat. I mean, they were obviously pump punk plates. So they were all there. Yeah, I guess everybody in New York seemingly was there. Okay. I blogged. So that's the decision I made. It's clearly a mistake. I apologize. I didn't say I just I don't believe that that's the reason. Okay, you don't believe it, but like I didn't. Okay. Did you think about it? Did you think about going? Yes, I thought about it. And I thought and I looked at that is that's. Yeah, you're supporting the company. But you're also like out having fun. Let me get behind the computer. You're just like it's such an obvious lie. That's the problem. But whatever. You're supporting the company. I guess. Yeah, I guess. I'll never I'll never I'll live my sense. I have to pay for the crimes I committed. So all right. That's where you're killing it right now. What are you talking about? Rico to the stock I bought and Rico Bosco in December 2022. Is paying crazy. Listen. I just ask what indication you would give that that I would lie? Like what? That's a like. Oh, your history. Okay. I mean, you do lie. Fair enough. But I still have work to do then to build my character. You're right. It won't happen. I just but it's a it holy shit. You mad at me. There's no one in the world who truly believes you're like, I'm going to be frowned upon for going to his pizza fest and having fun. Like that's preposterous. It's my event. Okay. It looks awesome though, Dave. It went great. It feels like, you know, I said this on the rundown. It was a tornado. That could have swayed some people like I don't want to go stand the rain. The bridge. Got wind. What bridge you have to get to get over. If I was still living in New York, the verisotto. How far do you live from where we did it, Rico? 30 minutes. Max. Okay, guys. Max. Let's talk positive things. Is there any? Oh, come on. You said I'm up to it. I did. I did. Oh, the minute when I was one because I legit really had FOMO. Like seeing everyone have fun. I was like, fuck, I wish I was here at this thing. And then I started seeing like everyone tweet about their pizza scores there. And they're like, it's possible there. Come on, Rico. Five, including a blog about the pizza fest. Isn't that continued promo? The guy from Luigi's. Like, is it that? What do you mean continued promo? Like after as promo, I should say? Five on Saturday. But what good does that promo to? Do you think someone read that blog in real time, jumped in the car and was like, I gotta get the show. I hope so. One person did that. He did his job. It's all right. I'm a victim of my sense. Won't happen again. I don't know what that means. Where's the next one, Dave? I don't know. We're figuring out now. I don't know. Rico's backyard. He'll be like Francesa. I'll pull up the blinds like the WBC. Come on, Rico. I'm more surprised. I don't take it even as like a personal offense. I thought you like for your whole pizza and this. And now I thought you'd be like interested. A thousand percent. I was interested. I was also interested in hitting the top 20, which you said to do from January. Every week. That's big. Lock yourself in. Watch the games. You can't even like you are smart. Like which way are you? I don't, I don't believe you. Okay. I'll never live down my sins. I think you have done a good job of rehabilitating healthy debate is an awesome show. I'm saying that's like since, it's sincerely as possible. It's, it's been, I've been watching. It's been great. How have you, what, where are we at with it? It's like, I just Rico. There's nobody in the company. Not just you. who could be like, "I decided the greater wave." for me to support the company was by not going to the event. It's not just you. He's not just singling out you. All right, I don't get that one. I don't think I, I mean, the fest is that what you think, I made what it made a difference? People would be like, it was a great event. I met Dave, I got Pete, like, I'm like 47, no, no, this. But like, don't say yourself short. Yeah, don't tell him not trying to like, that's not what it's just truth. There's bands, there's pizza, there's like world class stuff. The merch meeting you, like, you're mixing up, like, who's live, who's life am I changing? I was right. I didn't think there was riders there. There's definitely a lot of riders to see. All right, yeah. Yeah, how is, how's the rider, how are the riders doing? I saw that one call in healthy debate. Someone was getting upset, they were getting riled up. Yeah, they're, it feels like they're chomping at the bit right now. They are. We need, we need an enemy. Bad. Real bad. Yeah, we need an enemy. I said, come on, Rico. It's just tough, that's like, and it's just crazy. And then to get cold a liar, like that does fuck with you. But again, I'm not gonna, it's not gonna run the show, but it's just, you guys, you know, whatever, it's all right. Fine, I take it back. I take it back too, I'm not, I don't think you're a liar. How's that? I got it. We good. Yep. All right, so you want to, but you, you have lied. Yeah. I was on drugs. I'm re, re trying to rehabilitate. You, you said something funny before we started. The riders, they love to play cops and robbers. So we need to get them something, something real, because they've been going after their smacky tables. They're, they're, they're, they're ready to go. Let's find them. I, by the way, I am a rider again, because Rico had, Louisville, Louisville, easy. That was awesome. I gave, I actually gave out BC, because of Rico on my speech, at the end of it, at pizza fast. I'm like, last thing, after I'm like, fuck, washing, and post, fuck this, fuck that last thing, take BC, plus the points, didn't work. I, a couple of old security guards were not happy about it. I mean, you, you, you, you could be a Rico. Yeah, that was a big win. I needed that. I, I've been riding since day one this year, and I said, once you get a mortal lock, I'm all the way in. Uh, all right, so the, the recap, uh, of the weekend, it was a good football weekend. The Notre Dame game obviously was crazy, uh, crazy, the, the, the Ryan Day going after Lou Holtz, which Dave, you and I were texting like, he really was just completely, at Michigan. And by the way, the fact that they gained, they, they scored by half an inch when they ran it, where Notre Dame just didn't have a guy because they're lined up wrong is insane, inexcusable. Yeah. Insane and, and, uh, crazy story. Uh, Sam Hartman's agent. I, if I say I'm Hartman, I would fire his agent. The agent. So I, I obviously made the $10,000 bet. Now dead, um, for a Sam Heisman to win the future, to win the Heisman. And we have the shirts and they reached out before the game and like, Hey, like you, I don't know what they're saying, but we said you want partner on it. We'll keep it rev whatever we're not doing to make money. They got back after the game. And they were like, no, no partnerships. He wants a flat fee. It's like buddy, we ain't selling the fucking Sam Heisman shirts. No more, you ain't getting a flat fee. He needed to win that game. And he wasn't, you should ask for a flat fee beforehand. Yeah, that was, that was nuts. I also like Ryan Day just being like, uh, we had one bad half in the last two years. Like did what wasn't both the second halves against Michigan bad Michigan destroy them. I honestly, I wrote a blog about it. Um, I think he's trying to make Notre Dame their rival. He's giving up on beating Michigan and he's like, I can beat up on Notre Dame. Let's change the narrative to, hey, Lou Holtz and Notre Dame. And then, you know, I keep my job because if you keep, if Michigan's your rival and you're getting your face punched in, it's a different story. Yeah, one half. One half. And then obviously Dion, that was tough. Rico and I both had Oregon in different, different ways. Thunder. Yeah, I had, I had Oregon first half. I had them, team total over and they, they went for it. They just stopped fucking. Yeah, they had 42 points. They went for it. Uh, Dave, you were, you were at Pizza Fest. I was, I was taking bullets for, for I think you as well with the Dion stuff. People, people coming out of the woodwork, uh, yeah, I thought they could win the game Colorado. I mean, I was the most shocking outcome of all time. No, um, you don't know how much Travis Hunter, I mean, he's not gonna make a 42 point difference. Uh, listen, when you talk as much as Dion does and, and you create the bravado, yeah, everyone's going to take your shots. I'll say this though, the videos that people, so the video from Oregon that I saw after the game, I saw it floating around and all the comments, like, oh my God, I can't believe they talked this much shit. That was a video. I didn't think it was, I'm sure that happens like every fucking game. Yeah. Like, it wasn't crazy to me. The amount of shit that, that Colorado is talking at all. So I don't know. I, Dion knows it better than anybody. You make yourself a target. And I think Dion has known he doesn't have the dubs yet all the way around. He's gonna get him and I had no problem with anything and Oregon did it. Good, clean fun. The, uh, Dion did the, uh, the Dan Hurley speech afterwards, which I like. He's like, you better get us now because this is the worst we're going to be. What do you think about the Colorado leaking or just openly releasing that footage though? What footage? Yeah. The pregame. No, that was Colorado. From my understanding, I could be wrong. Wasn't that Colorado's documentary? No, that was Oregon's. Okay. It was, when it first came out, we were trying to decipher on picks. We thought, cause they, he does a vlog every week. The Oregon's kids are, yeah. You, what? You. You thought Oregon, you thought you thought you don't know, I don't put it out. I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying. This isn't Hollywood. No, no, no, no. The clip of Oregon being like, we're gonna be harassed. No, no, no, no, no. The clip of all the touchdowns. No, Oregon was scoring. I thought Colorado had released the footage when he said, yeah, we're gonna beat your ass. And there's about to be a murder of the ducks. Why would Oregon's people film that? Cause they're walking around with the camera. The Colorado kid is like mugging for an Oregon camera? Yeah, I mean, I think that would be the one criticism is like the, hebo, doesn't Sanders do a vlog every week? Like, I can't even think they put it out in real time. There was a video that came out before the Oregon five minute vlog. Is that the one you're thinking of where they're like stomping on the logo? No. The one with it. Yeah, where where Sanders says I'm gonna beat all your asses. And the other kid says there's about to be a murder of the ducks. Yeah, that was in the Oregon video. All right. Yeah. Okay. You didn't want. What? Moving along. I don't, I don't like how you're getting right now. I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold back on the other thing I had because I don't want to, I don't want to. The sand, I, the way it was told to me was that Sanders does a vlog every week and Colorado released that fight. Every teen fight does shit like this. All of them. Oregon does it every week. But I don't know how you could think the Oregon, the, that video was Colorado video because that's how it was told. Like, I didn't investigate the story enough to, I thought Colorado released it. Either way, I mean, that's why I look, Deon's gonna do what Deon's gonna do, but that's why people are gonna come for his neck when they do stuff like that. Yeah. And I liked what Dan Lennon said. I didn't think it was that bad. No, I didn't think it was that bad either day. I like what Dan Lennon said after he's like, yeah, the reason why this was, Casey actually gets credit. She predicted it. She was like, there's gonna be more people watching this game than Notre Dame Ohio State. I think I said that was a possibility. Yeah. I thought it wasn't a possibility, but Dan Lennon said afterwards. He was like, yeah, the reason why that we're getting talked about is because of Colorado. So thanks to Colorado. Like, this is what, this is the rising tide lifts all boats. Like Deon is making. 100%. Well, I talked about, yeah, they got killed. And I, I'll stand by what I said, I hit zero percent chance. I'll go to the college football playoff. I said, they'll probably lose to Oregon and USC, which I think they're gonna lose this weekend as well. But it's a successful season. They could still make a bowl. Yeah, definitely could still make a bowl. Definitely. That's successful. Yeah. Everyone's talking about Colorado. Good, bad and different. And to be honest, like, the people he's getting and there's a, it almost, I could see a world. He almost never going to in the national championship college football playoff this year. He knew that. But if you're like, I've, I've always thought if I'm a college, if I'm a high school recruit, it's more fun to go to the place and be on the team that, that turns the page. So to speak, then being the next in the line at Alabama or next in line somewhere, like you are a high school kid, you go see Colorado, get their ass kicked like that. You can join this next group and be the ones that return the favor to me. I'd always want that. I think it's more exciting to, to start a dynasty or start a national championship run than just be the next page. Right. Right. I alluded to it at the beginning. I did make a future bet. I bet Washington 20 to one. I know that there's, you know, they don't have the blue chip guys that, that is the profile of a national title. Contender I'm just hoping they get in there because that would be a great price and I also are against one in one no Washington 20 to one That's in Washington He's fucked up right now. He's just hurt He's gonna fight. He needs a video trying to see who released it. Yeah, but Literally you both sent me the fucking video this is the one. That's Deon Sanders media company What All right got it. So then that's where the disconnect was they released it I thought it eventually came from that. I am wrong again. So no Let's take a 20 here again the second 20 history show. Just take a deep breath I'm not I'm not rattled Here's the problem with Washington the same way I think Oregon I'm calling the timeout. I'm calling timeout timeout I could play 40 minutes non-stop I don't know I think the pack 12 is the most compelling conference race out there right proud a lot of people still in play Utah Oregon State was Zoo is electric you see a lay good Utah good Washington good Oregon good Lot of guys in the mix USC. I said was it USC. I don't know if any of them can get through Unscathed is the problem and I don't think the pack 12 is gonna get the credit it should I think I think this year will get it. Yeah, they'll get it. They'll get it I think a one last pack 12 team can absolutely go. So here's why I think you could be a really good pack 12 team in this conference And I still have two close losses, but that buried you for the playoff. You know what I mean? That's where it sucks Here's why I took Washington. I looked at their schedule. They do have a tough schedule They though the the the two hardest or the three hardest games they have Oregon Utah and USC two out of three of those are at Washington They play Oregon and Utah at home USC's on the road, but USC plays in a different division So my reasoning is if they can find a way to win their home games and they even lose to USC They would get another crack at USC in Vegas and I think a one-loss pack 12 champion would go to the playoff quick Challenge, I think the pack 12 removed divisions. Did they? They did so it's just the two top teams. I'm still Nearly positive. They still don't look straight through so it's still if they win back He's back. He's back. That's huge. I was wrong Hand up. I was wrong. He's studying on the sad days looking at the visions He's blogging he's not going to the pizza fest, but he's bringing it here. That's good. That's good What you just did it's the number on show in the history of the company Gambling wise gambling wise he's back. No, that now he's really back You good point Rico, but it still stands that if they beat there if they beat Utah and Oregon at home They should be at top three matchup. Yeah, right. So my my hope is They can win those home games. Their offense is electric. Their defense is underrated They I was watching their game on Saturday night. They were up 14 nothing before even snapping an offensive play I know Cal is terrible But I really that bad. I don't think it was a yeah, they were If you coach, but they beat yeah, they beat the show. That's what we want to pound the bad teams because we saw USC Let Arizona stay kind of stick around. So that's a 14-point game What are your futures Rico? You still have just wazoo. I'm sorry. I was watching Wisconsin. Yes, I was thinking about what wazoo. That's a fun one But that would be a fun one. That would be a fun. I don't know if it gets there Um, you're back Rico. I am. I'm not even gonna do the other thing. Give it to me. No, that's part of the stress test What do you got? I don't go ahead jack can do it Go ahead you want me to do it? All right. I'll do it. Uh, Dave When people ask you To go on like podcasts or something like little or podcasts like I say no a lot because I just don't have the time But I'll try to help out. Do you ever do you ever ask for money? Yes to go on podcasts Is this Sunday during the NFL the next day I go hey, how long How much time was what was meant to be said? It's also UFC. I'm thinking I'm charging for UFC I said how much I look back. I go oh shit. How long long day buddy You said that for spinning backfist. No, something else Some outside thing. I know how much it's meaning how much time Rico We'd like to feature you in an upcoming episode of our podcast We'd like to talk a little bit of how you got started with podcasting your tips And then we'll have a little fun and do your weekly top five. Let me know if you can make some time to zoom with us Make some time how much how much time Did they give you a price? No, that while it said it said how much and then I go hey long day How long and they're like all this whatever the DMs are still there so what would work it out? Say the thousand bucks How did you catch wind of this me? Yeah, I don't know. I know How uh They must ask Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. They must ask Jerry Certain armies but somebody somebody had to say Rico tried to charge us So much time what show is this big hat? I don't even know So are you saying that they went once you said no because you had a rate they went to Jerry No, I think it's one of those they they've there's podcasts. They really they try to get everybody So they must have yeah, they've DM the bunch of guys at the same time But how how did it come to dance attention Jerry that you were trying Jerry and how did Jerry know they probably told them And I would I thought you cleared it up instantly Yeah, because I sent it never thought about it looked back and I go oh shit how much I go hey how much time I believe right here. It is just very it's a very funny screenshot. How was the delay? Uh, honestly a full day because I never thought about it Where are you so you responded before they did no you responded how much and then a full day went by they didn't come back to Yeah, right in the middle of Sunday in the NFL And it's last night. Yeah, how long and then they're back so we'll do it Yeah, I'm gonna believe you that it how much I won't I'm actually happy that you very side brought this up because I also you have See I don't know like if you if you had said how how much and you were looking for money to do Someone else's podcast. I've been like come on Rico. No, I think the only person I'd ever heard doing that is Billy Tibbetts on spinchickles. No, also Oh Rico Vasco on Pick up parcel pick up March madness. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was my fee Well, yeah, you gonna pay to do it. Yeah, I mean we're not gonna do the tournament. You say no You suggested doing an extra show which we weren't planning on doing and then you ask how much you'd get paid for it How do you not do the tournament How do we not do the tournament? I'm happy I brought it up because I believe you Rico Yeah, truthfully. I don't believe you with pizza fest, but I believe you hear no Same. Yeah, got it. I actually think you're you're a stand-up guy. You wouldn't charge a little podcast How much is funny just seeing that definitely yeah, it's a bad visual Middle of an NFL Sunday, which I was blogging as well. So here we go. There we go Vasco's a blog machine. It's right before then the 255 is right before the witching hour like healthy debates how works Okay, so you do you like my Washington future? No, I do. I just worry that the pack 12 is yeah at minimum that the best team might win with A loss two losses potentially, but I think all those teams are really good. That's where it's like a two-loss SEC team They'd still be like well, they ran through the SEC the pack 12 is the cream of the crop this year So give the pack 12. It's credit. I think they will get the credit dish. I hope they do me too. Yeah. Yeah Dave one of the futures you have just Sam Hartman Yeah, dead. I don't know if I'll play some more this weekend But that's really all I had and that's dead. Yeah. I mean that it was it was right there. It was right there I don't you know what even if they won maybe it's slightly alive, but it's not like he had a blockbuster game He would have had another shot against head-to-head with US. Yeah, but USA. Yeah. Yeah, so I mean he may put up big numbers against that because USC's defense ain't that good But I don't know maybe there's maybe there's one percent he can bring it back. Yeah, I mean they beat USA. They run the table. Who knows? um Also Miami is back and Danny Boykain is back. David. I've been cheering those He's on one. He's on one. He did you see he crunched the numbers and he's also not going to be able to go to the Louisville game. I did see that Um, so the numbers have been crunched with deep regret and sorrow. I wish I wish we could just pay for him to go to these games, but then that would people then would be like that's an ideal deal So we can yeah, we cannot do that. What was it like when you met him at the final four? Oh, it was the best It was the best we got I sat down next to him and we almost instantly he just started breaking down the game It was during the other game So it was during the San Diego State game And he was like this is what we got to do or you know our back courts got to get pressure and all this stuff He's he's the real deal through and through and I was one of the few games I I Didn't win. I don't know eating seven. I did bet all my games. I my Emmy. I needed that. That was a good win for me Yeah, the Clemson game hurt me a lot. Rico was right Rico I yeah, I mean they should have fucking with me with that game. I was in the middle of it Pizza fast what comes and miss a field goal to win it. They miss the easy field goal to win it And then they had an over time Florida state scored and comes in was that easy the field goal He missed I thought it was long. Oh, I don't think like a 25 30 yarder. He missed to he missed to the one at the end was was was it I believe so. Oh, I thought it was short field and the over the over time was the was the the Fucking play calling with that bow. So what what he said we said after it was RPO. So did they got a they over time Florida state scored right away Miami ran the ball. They were running the ball well. They ran the ball Nine yards so it was or maybe it was first comes in first down They didn't get anything second down. They ran the ball nine yards. So it's 31 and they did an RPO third and one It was like he's had the wrong read Past play and then they weren't able to get a first down. It was it was very bad And that was one of those games that I needed very badly because I had the over as well So I was like, oh, I could go two and oh and then it quickly turned into an oh and two. Let me see where 29 yard field goal 29 yard field goal Good, good call Hank That's a tough one. Rico also uh-huh To do well who's the wind horse interesting what just happened Interesting 29 yard field goal. Mm-hmm Rico You made it sound like that was a much more difficult field goal. You didn't say it was a chip shot. I said makeable Yeah, 29 is yeah, 29's a chip shot. Okay, wait a minute makeable I can't get feelings like you guys wait wait wait wait wait wait wait 29 and makeable Are very different things and 45 to 48 is makeable anything under 30 yards is a chip shot That's like an extra point almost sort of so what I'm saying is interesting because I can't get feelings What is that what Like I'm not gonna judge a kicker of saying that's like a chip shot or ears. Here is what I find interesting To the members of the judge and shirt Florida state Clemson over time close game Biggest game arguably of the day one of them besides the late Pizza fest going on the same time. Oh, no Rico Says he can't go to pizza fest Cuz he's watching college football. Yeah, I just what did I say about overtime Makeable what did I say to you about overtime makeable you when when I said I heard that was a chip shot Dan was like kind on the side Hank saying it's long clearly to watch it You seem to have no idea where the field where that field goes from did I memorize the yardage? No, did I know it was makeable? Yes No, no, if you watch college football in someone misses a 29 yard field goal That's choke you say that I can't make field goals. I'm not gonna judge the guy what I know about the play calling He buried themselves in play calling in overtime. Absolutely Makeable the scoop and score watch the whole game makeable. I can't kick field goals That I don't know what that logic mean so you can't comment on any sports really You can't throw 97 you can't throw a pat you can't like what do you mean you can't kick field goals? I Kicking's hard 29's a chip shot That an absolute chip shot anybody was watching out the football Yeah, I probably put it a chip shot 29 is a field goal and I know college kickers suck put 29 When you're lining up for a 29 yard field goal that should be made 99 out of 102 is like an account. No, they pull them off the street. Yeah, it's a street Would you say an extra point is makeable? No an extra point is no excuses. What is the difference between they put though what at the 8? It's an 18 verse 29 am I right about I'm not even quite sure too. I think I think it's add 17 so it's a 19 yard or I believe 19 I think it's on the two yeah, ten full yards games not on the line like that What that's a chip shot 10 yards behind an extra point still 10 yards behind the extra point It's like seven yards in four or six yards in front of an extra point in NFL. I just find it very Interesting that game on the line. There's a lot of factors as well there. I yeah, he could have made 100 I find it Interesting there seem to be mass confusion On where that field goal was from I openly said I didn't see it because I was at piece of best But I heard people being like it was a chip shot. They blew it. You makeable. I'm thinking 40 to 47 No, I wouldn't say 40 to 40. I think 40 to 47 in college is deep. I consider that like a bomb He made a 30 yard field goal in the first quarter Mother fucker. Yep unreal Now that that hurt me bad interesting Interesting for someone watching the game. Okay, that's like I know you pay for your sins remember that time You've tried to say you'd want you watch like a Tennessee game and you just didn't What are we one TV right now though? I got yeah, I split it though. I got dragged to This engineer will feast that day. That was a tough one right, but right That was the same as what you went deep down a road of lying. Okay. I'll let it go. I'll let go I just knew you're not interesting clearly not well Well, it just it screened to me on this confusion that you didn't have a definitive answer for somebody's locked into these games Where that field goal miss was from I didn't memorize the exact yardage. No Interesting. All right, why should you that's my battery go. I fucked you there. No. Sorry. Why should you fucking the first couple of minutes, but no, come on I thought we took a time out. I thought we were back just like they like it Hey pick them listeners. We're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners At Papa Johns we're always chasing better.

Okay, so he'll call back and we'll get it sorted out got it pal Oh, yes He's back He's back Okay, let's talk games. Let's talk games We got so so what are you doing this weekend then can I come to Nebraska? By the way, this is not my add it on my list You know there's night games now you're gonna max it Monday night you went to the polo bar Can you make that reservation for now instead of two like where is the line you see what I'm saying here where I'm now working Like hey, the guy doesn't work. He's a piece of shit. I'm having a good routine work work work. Fine. I'll see you in Nebraska Book the flight that that nightmare that you had of uh, you know, you always travels the world. He calls us this money That's basically what you want like what do you want? I'll see you in Nebraska What's Times the flight put me on the show. No, so blog, right? Yeah, got it. So like, where is the problem? That was from Well, I guess I would do it this way. We travel all the time for a college football show. The pizza Fest, that's, it's happened once in the history of the company. Okay, where? Where did it happen? Yeah, Brooklyn. Where where are you going? I'm just saying I was almost more confused. Like, we were winning. He was on the defense. Hey, hey, just absolutely just drove all a truck over your face. I'm just trying to help you out like that. It was half an hour from his house. That's where that was. It would have been three or four hours away of working. Why? If it's half an hour, you go for an hour, you're back in half an hour. That's two. Okay. One half a football. You somehow still didn't see the ex miss field goal and comes in for a state chip shot. Why are you mad at me? This is the show. It's all right. I'm excited. Polo ball. I got a no-show cup into job. I'm fucking am. You think I'm booking blogging this week? shove it up your ass. You're ass. Your big Chicago ass. Oh, no, Rico. You want me to be a big star? Get a big head. Watch. Oh, yes. What kind of is that? Are you threatening that? I said we headed monster. Miami Chicago, New York. Fine. I'm moving into the office. Move you shit out. Your shit will be where my desk is. It's Bosco. Why, why are you? Why are you? Why are you mad at me, Rico? I haven't done that. I'm literally not. But now this is he should you had got he asked for this. This is what he gets. You have to pay the sense. I pay for sins. You this actually is not real equal. We are actually the shit out of the office. This is actually the first time I feel like we're an old school pick them right now because I started this and he's mad at Dave. I'm not mad at you. I don't I haven't done dick. I don't always threatening to move stuff out of my office. I don't. Well, no, that's not a threat. That's what's happening. Yeah, that's happening. Okay. You're you're you're gone pal. It's Bosco. Let's get to game. All right, let's do some games. Let's get some games. Who wanted to get to the games? You got distraction Dan over here. Oh, no. He's right. Distraction. Well, I mean, I am. I don't want to continue because I can't do this all day. But like what were what? Hey, what was your point when you're like, where was the pizza fest? Well, I was trying to the book, the flights. Like that's a bad argument to make when the pizza fest. Yeah. All right. So you were you going to help him. I was trying to I didn't want to fight on the side of like, let's you know, book you to Nebraska. That's not helping. I was trying to get him off of it. But Bosco, you you think that people want to tune in just to hear us talk about the games and be bad game. No, absolutely not. Right. So what is part of the show? But I also don't think it's when the beginning of every show is this. Yeah, when you're on the path to recovery, you guys time me down and go like this. I know you lie to me, but what is that have to do with you could still done five blogs and showed face for half an hour. That's just a fact. You weren't watching yourself. You didn't miss me. Did you miss me? Did you watch that? You didn't miss me. You watch the difference. If you didn't miss me. Did you watch? Yes. I can't kick field goals. I'm not going to judge a guy for a 29 yoda. I put it as makeable. I don't put it as chip shot extra point chip shot. No one's mad at you here. I I listen, this show is pretty simple formula. We recap what happened the last week and wherever that may go, it goes and then we do the games. Yeah. People like Bosco fired up. They've let you like it. I get it. How was polo ball? Can we get a review on that? What is polo bar exclusive? Hard to get into where? New York City. How was it, Dave? Yeah. It was good. Rico's right. I think it's arguably like the hardest reservation in Manhattan. So and we got right in. So that was kind of a suck my dick moment. Like we called in. They made room, which was super nice to them. So I think it's more about the atmosphere. That's good to know. What? You can drop his name. It's a very old school. I wasn't even sure whether we were supposed to be wearing sport coats. You know, who came up to me and said hello. This would give me an idea. It was like, give us a let us guess. Let's guess. Music. You got no give us a category. Tom Hanks. You got to give a category category. I'm Hanks. But I said no, but we did hear it. We did hear what you said. Hear it. Give us category. Athlete. Music. What do you got? Pop culture. Name that too. ASL. Sports. Current. Current performer. Neither. Huh? Dead. Jim. It's announcer. Brooks Robinson. Owner. Oh, he wouldn't come up to you because he knows James someone. What about the guy who owns the Nets James Harris. No. Cohen. No. The Russian guy from the Nets. No, the pro-craft has an owner like 15 years ago. One of the cashmins. Oh, steamer is no. No, I know that. I know he's dead. He's looking up at us. How? How? He fucking chase after Dave Winfield. Wait, no, I see. I said how? Steinbrenner. Political campaign campaigns. I said how? Steinbrenner. Oh, Josh Harris. No. Michael Rubin. Football. Football. Oh, the Maris. No, but close. Oh, oh, uh, fuck. Well, I like the Mara. Oh, what are Johnson? No. Cohen or the Giants. Tish. Oh, okay. I have the Maris. I see. I see one of the Maris all the time in Saratoga. Super nice guy. He sits like he's my dream. Him and Parcels are like, I see them. Like, oh, that's what I do. They just go alone to Saratoga and just bet by the way, that's like what I want to do. But yeah, I've never met the Tish guy, but he came up and introduced these nice guy. But that's the type of vibes. It's a very like sport coat, old oak. There you have like a corn, corn hash sandwich was great. They have pigs in a blanket. But I think the corn hash sandwich is what they're actually known for there. But I thought the food good didn't blow me away. I think it's more like vibes. So do you think we can get a plus one for Bosco next time? Yeah, vibes vibes for four is a lot better than vibes for two. Or six, maybe if you come back. Oh, yeah, I'll come. Yeah, why not? Yeah, listen, I'm not Joey. Rico's right. It's a place I've always wanted to try food. God, who I like. He said it's the best restaurant man at. And so I've wanted to go for a while. It was good to experience it. Yeah. All right. So maybe we'll get you in. Yeah. We'll all go together. We could go to the bathroom. You could splash water on my pants and then make fun of me as I walk through the restaurant through your old, all your old tricks. I've done that to you before. No, it's a new one. I know what you got up your sleeves. You're just like in an 80s movie. You're just like the big bully. It's all right. Listen, I don't regret saying that I felt bad. I didn't go to pizza fast. Got it. Whatever happened after that. I will. I don't want to keep harping on it. He's going to be like, I had to work. He really missed the feel. Well, it is like the most Rico event ever. Like the guy from Daninos, yeah, Mike Burke. I've had family parties there. Great guy. I'll see you know him. Yeah. I know him. You would have loved it then. Can I finish the story? I want to make sure I don't do my bad guy. It's not your people. You didn't go. Okay. Guy comes up, puts his hand behind my neck like tight. He's like, let me tell you this. I did. I did this event like long before you. He's talking about a pizza showdown. Oh, and he's like the people from across the bridge came with their pizza. We had our pizza. We kicked our ass. I said, keep your pizza over the other end of the bridge. Like old school, Staten Island, Brooklyn vibes. It was great for somebody who prides themself on that Rico. Kind of nuts. But let's carry on to show. Yeah. Because I didn't think anything of it. Dan, Dan, Dan really did you do? I can. I just brought up the fact that I wanted to go very badly. And I felt bad that I wasn't there. As did I. No, you didn't. Okay. That's why I let's do games. Let's do games. All right. We got a good slate this week. By the way, Rico, uh, an hour, we're an hour in days at 55.8% killing it. Rico 44.8. I'm in the bottom 43.9%. I think I had my first winning week since like week two or. Hey, pick them listeners. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. Hey, it's Fran from chicks in the office. Apricromy is and always has been the clear destination for holiday dressing. Their sweaters are a literal cozy staple. And when I'm out to dinner or out with friends, a cue matching set is a must wear for me. And PSA, their new wool blend, a and f carry trench is the final layer to have. Make this season all about dressing for the moments that turn into tradition. Have a very Abercrombie holiday, shop in the app online and in stores. All right. It's been bad for your boy. It's been bad. I've been struggling. I've been trying to fight scratch and claw with every pick. But it has not been good. Let's do the games. We will start five six games that I listed. Is that okay for everyone? All right. So six games I had to start. We have Utah going to Oregon State Friday night. This is going to be a great game. Very, very excited for it. Right now Oregon State is minus three over under 44 and a half Rika. What are your thoughts? Oregon State on the bounce back. Oregon State on the bounce. Yeah. I don't know when camera is coming back for Utah. If he plays, he's obviously going to be stronger. You think he's back, Ebo? I like Oregon State regardless. I, uh, I, you're like, what? I've seen all rooms. It's stuck. Okay. What happened? You follow like stats and stuff. Do you know, then injuries? Like, is he back? Is he? I was a crazy question. I didn't ask you what your favorite color was. Kyle Woodingham is doing weird shit with camera. He's supposed to. I think it's a crazy question to assume I'm a stats guy and then assume I know that camera rising is in or out. I don't think those things are correlated. Also, I don't think that's a crazy question. Also, I think Kyle Woodingham is like, fucking with everyone. Like, we've seen it every single week where it's like, camera rising might play, camera rising might dress. Deco into that. Yeah. Right. So you have Oregon State, uh, like Oregon State in the bounce back. Utah, by the way, was phenomenal defensively. Kyle Woodingham said it was his best, the best performance he's ever seen from his team, which is saying something because he's done a lot of really good teams against UCLA. They completely suffocated that. Um, I'm going to, I'm going to go with Oregon State in the bounce back as well. Dave, what are you, what are you thinking this game? Yeah, I was going to take Oregon State. You guys both taking them gives me a little bit of pause, but I do think that is a conference. I don't know why I always think like the Pac-12 home field matters maybe more than like anywhere else. I like them. I like them at home. I'll take Oregon State. Yeah. Part of me, I don't know. I just don't know how Utah is going to school. They haven't been able to score much and their defense is phenomenal. Fuck, this game actually has me twisted now because now part of me thinks like, hey, this is a field goal game. I successfully flipped on Oregon State, Wazoo, uh, last week, which was nice. It's always nice to win your flips. Yeah, those are huge. Yeah. So I, and that one was like almost a laffer. Like Wazoo had control of that game. The entire world is playing. It was playing. He's so good. He is so good. He's so, so good. Uh, imagine having him at two 50 to one. No, in the eyes, man. You do somebody in the room does. Who? Ebo? Two, five, nine. He's down at 33 to one. They got to win out to do it, which is where it's airy, but it's a good, nice little ticket. You know what? I'm going to go Utah plus three. I just flipped on myself. Maybe a good place. Yeah. Utah plus three. I just think this is going to be a tight game. Utah's defense is so fucking nasty. Uh, all right. Saturday. Good games. USC at Colorado. Colorado, or sorry, uh, Colorado's plus 21 over under 73 and a half. How does Dion's team bounce back? How do they respond? 10 AM kickoff local time, which I think plays in favor to Colorado here because, uh, USC, it's 9 AM local time harder to get up. Colorado, you know, the fans, I think will still be out there. Pretty loud. Uh, Dave, what do you think? I'm gonna stick with Colorado. Uh, they got blitzed. It can happen. I think they get back in and can score some points against this USAD. USC defense is hunter playing. I saw that story where he texted Dion or something. He's like, I have to play. Yeah. And Dion said no. No, um, but I'm gonna take the points. I'm never gonna go against Dion. So I'll take, I'll take the Colorado. Rico over. I like the over where as I thought, Oregon's defense was legit. And I, everybody was like, how the fuck do you take that under? I nailed it with this one. I don't believe in USC's defense. 28 points to Arizona state. Colorado's got to be desperate here to do something to get that offense back going, uh, over. Yeah. I'm, I'm with you on the over here. It is a very big number. This is one of those games. You get five minutes of no scoring. You start panicking with socks and 10 AM socks, but I have to take the over. You need, you need points fast. You need, you need them very, very fast for this game like instantly because it can be dead in a second. I'll take the over 73 and a half. And you cannot have a single field goal. No. I think I'm gonna take USC team total over 48 and a half as well. By the way, I would have gone on three on that, uh, math game. I just tried to say take all three. Whoa, whoa. I just tried to figure out the mess. Put your gun down. I didn't say that. That's a very casual way of saying it. No, put your gun down. I wasn't playing it. It was a little aggressive. You didn't do anything wrong. I was that my reasoning was horrendous in that game. And I actually, I think talked it out of it. Yeah, you did. And I was, I would have like your turn and listen to a max play. Yes. Yes. And it would have been a disaster for me. An absolute disaster. I see it of 48. So 48 for USC team total over as well. Uh, okay. Next game. Dave, your game Michigan, Nebraska, Michigan is 17 point favorites right now. Over under is 39 and a half. We will be in Lincoln. I've never been to Lincoln. I think this is very excited. It's Maryland and Lincoln or the only two big 10 campuses I've never been to. So I'm very excited to get this one. Uh, not missing anything in Maryland basketball. You were for no, you weren't for a period of time when they were in the ACC, I went to the last. No, no, no, no, no, Maryland, Maryland, no good, Maryland. No, yeah, no, you're in a basketball game. They're a good team, but the campus I'm talking about, you're not missing much on Maryland campus. There. We're going to be, yeah, we'll be in Lincoln. I have high hopes for Lincoln. High hopes. Me too, because it feels like great fan base. They, they, they, they, they, great fan base. Uh, wait, you're, you're sure, Dave, the, make Nebraska mediocre again. People are actually buying them. Yeah. I mean, it is, it's sad, but it's true. Like Nebraska would love to be mediocre. Right. They, they, they've been so beaten down. They're, like, Compton is the exception who's still holding on to like some climber that the Nebraska fans are very funny and very aware. Like I kill for mediocre. Like where that bad, um, I'll take Michigan, but I don't like the game. I'm taking this kind of an alumni play. I don't, I, I think it could definitely be within 17. I think Michigan's definitely going to win, but I could see Nebraska kind of sticking around. Yeah. Yeah. I, it, it, it, it really feels like, because I mean, even Michigan against, uh, Rutgers, I had Rutgers. It was a push, but it was all Rutgers just scoring that first touchdown. They never scored again. Yeah. And the thing about Michigan, which is hard to tell, their schedule has not been good. And I think they've been probably pretty fucking vanilla. So I, I, you know, you don't know when they maybe start opening things up a little bit because they're not scoring a ton of points. No, they aren't. I don't think they've covered yet either. No, I don't think I have. Yeah. Uh, Rico thoughts. I'm just going to take Nebraska desperate team. I don't love the play. I hate the play. I don't think they're very good. But I think like Dave said, dying to be mediocre, they're going to give their best effort at home, stay within the number at 17 or 17 and a half 17 right now. Okay. I'm going to take the over 39 and a half. I, the reasoning here is that I think Michigan will be in the mid to high 20s. And I think Nebraska's going to be able to score at least a touchdown and maybe a field goal. So that would get you right around there. Probably need a little more out of, out of Nebraska. But Michigan feels like, you know, they might have a turnover short field Michigan in the high 20s low 30s. All you need is a little bit from Nebraska with a number of this low. Yeah. We know Nebraska wants to run the ball too. So they're, they're quarterback. They brought in has been doing a good job. I know they haven't played anyone, but he hasn't been turning it over like Sims was the first two games. So at least they got that going for him. But yeah, come out, see the college football show. The Boston boys will be there. Will's going to be on the show. Yeah, Boston ball. It's going to be great. Taylor. They're both on the show. Oh, they're both going to, oh, yeah, right. They're both coming on. I'm going to, I just think because we all we do is talk about Nebraska. I forget that there's two parts of this Boston ball because Will has kind of taken it over. Yeah. Well, it's also, well, yeah, in defense of Taylor, he's like, this is Tyler. Yeah, we killed Rutgers. Like, I mean, there's nothing really for Michigan. Michigan hasn't had much to talk about this season except the Harbour like suspension where Will is on, you know, the excuse spin train every second of every day. Right. And Taylor has bigger games ahead. Will this is the game? This is this is the season right now. Okay. Next game, Kansas and Texas should be a good game. This is, I believe a, is next week, Texas Oklahoma. Should be. So this is a look ahead. A little bit of a look ahead. Kansas and Texas. Kansas is 1690. half point dogs over under 63 and a half. Is this the game Kansas? What? What? Yeah. I bet a lot on these game quarterback got hurt last year for Kansas, right? He's back. He's been looking good. What's the name? Jalen Daniels? Yes. Yes. I think you might be thinking of the Kansas game against TCU was minus. I may be. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I'd end up being a push. I'm conflicted because I like Texas's defense. I don't love Kansas's defense. Over. Okay. I think with pace of play, I think Texas can put it on him. It's 63 and a half. Yeah, over. Don't love it. I'm going to take Texas minus 16 and a half. I know it's a look ahead. I just think that it's going to be tough for Kansas to move the ball against Texas and this Texas team like, yeah, they had a little bit of a let down against. I believe it was Wyoming in the first half after the Alabama game. They put it on Baylor last week. I think they're starting to round into form and they're they're they're thinking like every game, you know, we can't overlook anyone because we have sites on the college football playoff. Dave, don't love agreeing on the over here by am taking the over. I do think Kansas will be able to move the ball because the quarterback's so mobile and just can create. So I'm going to take the over and Kansas. Okay. Next game LSU Ole Miss LSU Ole Miss Ole Miss. They went they did it again. Katelyn Kiffin talking all that junk goes into Bama doesn't win. Brandon was right. We got to give him credit for that. Brandon was right. And also Alabama's like, if you look at their schedule, they will. Yeah, it'll be most likely win the SEC West. They have LSU and Tennessee at home. So and they have a buy in between the two. So those are the two last tough games. I'm going to take LSU minus two and a half years. Same. I think they're just the better all around team and I I feel like there was a lot of energy spent on that Alabama game for Ole Miss lead up the way they lost. I think it's going to be tough to get off the bat. Dave. Agreed all the way around. I think LSU is second best team in the SEC and like I think they go into Alabama beat Alabama. And I do think everything you say I think that coming off is tough for a bound after that loss. I just think LSU is better than Ole Miss. The mincey bowl. I'll take LSU. Yeah, the mincey bowl. All right, last game and then we'll get to our cards. Notre Dame Duke. Crazy. Ranked match up. It is game day. It's just it's the night game that everyone will be watching. Notre Dame trying to get off the mat minus five and a half over under 51 and a half. I'll start. I'm taking Notre Dame. I think that if you were Duke on Saturday night, you're hoping like praying that they stop Ohio State on that goal line. Now you get a Notre Dame get team that is pissed off and they have no margin for error. And Duke has been great, but I don't think Duke, this is a different beast than Notre Dame. Irish. Yeah. I agree with the same thing. Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, off the also I mean Duke. Yes, they did. They put it on Clemson. Do we think Clemson is like elite? No. Do we think Ohio State is elite? Oh, we're in that conversation. I do Notre Dame went toe to toe. I'm going to take Notre Dame here even on the road. Okay. Although I will give a stat. Oh, no, I'm sorry. That's top 10. Never mind. Oh, these teams are on top 10. When Notre Dame goes on the road against top in top 10 matchups, they're horrific straight up for in 19 since 94. This is not top 10. What other stats do you keep? That's all I got. That's all I want. I hate this game. I still can't stress enough. I don't know how Notre Dame didn't have enough guys in the field for the last two plays. That's crazy and excusable. It's and you know what's crazy to Dave? It's not even the last, the two got the 10 guys on the field for the last two places, inexcusable. But it also is completely erasing the fact that Marcus Freeman decided to throw a pass on second down in that last series that Notre Dame had was also inexcusable because that was a purely a time like you'd have to look at the clock and be like, how can we let's just say we're not getting a first down. How the fuck do we get them the ball with no timeouts in the least amount of time? And that incomplete passing almost was an interception. I thought was just like run the ball three times in the middle of the field and then punt the ball and let Ohio State try to figure it out with no timeouts. Yeah. This game. I gotta take Duke. I don't love it. But I think they can play close. Okay. Okay. So I have Notre Dame because Notre Dame Dave has Duke. Let's go to our cards. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners on game day. Get sub stacked high at Jersey mics like the number 13 original Italian loaded with meats, cheese and toppings or the number 56 big Kahuna cheese steak with grilled steak peppers, onions and mushrooms topped with jalapenos and melty cheese. Get your sub fix on game day and order in store or the Jersey mics app. All right. Oh, before we do our cards. So next week we'll have the same setup than the following week. We'll all be in person for surviving bar stool. Do you guys want to form an alliance? Riders only? The game it. Listen. Yeah. I think I know this. Hank would be good. Three. There's people. Dan, you're probably not in this crew. I like I really want to win. But there's people who will cut your throat out to win because of the price. Like, yeah, I'm not in that. I had to tell the dog he had to get away from me. Oh, he was going so hard on strategy. I'm like, not like now is not the time. But Rico, Jerry, the dog. There's a hundred grand. Chey. Rico. Yeah, Rico will. Rico will kill you for a hundred grand. Now, well, yeah, you metaphorically. You said there's a no split policy, too, right? There's a rumor. Is that a rumor? No, no split. If I find out there's any split, you're fired and docked and just gone. Wow. That defeats. They don't allow splitting on on survival or any game. It ruins it. It's full winner take all. Yes. All right. Regular survivor. Think of second prize. Oh, Rico small amount. Rico's going to cut my throat. When this thing gets down to the wire, it's going to be. Oh, man. Rico, I just want to say it right now. I understand that you're going to cut my throat. I'm not going to take it personally. What? That's a very nice thing for me to say. Is it? I don't, I don't get how I mean, so Francis' thing last night, like when you're competing, how do people not get that it is a game? Right. No, I hear the thing. There's things. They never get it. Rico, and I'm not saying a parcel. Right. I'm a I am a survivor. Like I've gone a little less of a fanat, but I watch all the time. They don't get it. It's something happens in the game and you it blends into one. So yeah, you got to be able to disconnect it. I if you people fuck you over. I'm not you're not able to disconnect it. What's 100K? You don't think I can change. So okay, but I think when you if you are lucky enough to make it towards the end and you think you have the word of somebody and they stab you in the face for a hundred grand, it doesn't seem like people get and I'm not just saying you. That seems to be a disconnect that people it happened. You go in being like no way. I get it game. Something happens in the game. That seems to be what happens. And what I'm saying is I understand because days right. Like obviously I'm going to to win. I think that the I've said this before. I think they said on Kirk show. There's two scenarios that I'm okay with. One is if I somehow got voted out in the first two hours because then I can sleep in all week and sleep in a hotel or win the whole thing anything in between I will be upset. Like if I if I make it past the first elimination. Yeah, once you're in it. You're in it. Like that's really it's there's. I want to play the game. I love to buy for the sleep thing is make it is the worst part, but I'm looking forward to the game. I was a foot. I want to play the game as well. I'm just saying that there's it's really all or nothing. Like if you if you lose right away, like you can tell yourself, okay, you know, I don't have to sleep on the floor. But once you once you make it past the first elimination, it's like, well, I'm here. I better win. That is what that is. I think what happens when Rico's like the disconnect. The longer you're in the game, though, just the more intense it gets. Yeah. So I will it's for a hundred grand. I know anything you do is fine. And I'm saying. But then once the lights go off and they say, all right, that shows over cut. We're saying the same things different. Yeah, we're saying the same thing. Nobody has gotten that more than you over the years. There's a smile. That's a good one. That was a good smile. We're saying the same thing. Sleep is going to be very tough, too, especially without an office for Dave. Yes. Yeah. That's Bosco's office now. Okay. I'm going to piss in a circle around the corner still. Like a dog. Oh my fucking territory. I like that. I like that. It's going to be very, very fascinating. So are we doing a rider alliance or no? Yeah, I think me, Dave and Hank is We're here to start. Oh, wow. He's really - Really mad at me. - Yeah, I mean, I'm not a rider, so I guess I'm not in. - That's crazy. I am a rider. - Why are you not in it? - He's not a rider, he's a black out last year? - I am a rider. - Yeah. I was on drugs, I blacked out. - Yes. - Yeah, no, I don't just go back and forth. Like, oh, Rico tried to kill somebody with a high noon can. Rico's harassing employees' wives. I'm back to being riding three months later. That's not how I work. - Okay. - Gonna earn it. - I can be a huge opportunity to earn it. - How would you say you earned it? - I think you could earn it during surviving, Rico. I think you might have a moment in time. - Behavior, going to pizza fast. - All right, so I'm not a rider. I'm not in the rider alliance. - No, you're in. - That doesn't feel real. - You're in. - That's okay though. - But you were saying some things with not friends or stuff. - No, we're friends. What was I saying that? - I was tweeting. - I let you come to my house. I said you could come to my house, stay over my house. What are you talking about when I said that you? - Yeah, tough day too. - What? - These Wednesdays. I love doing the show, but the recruiting trail. It seems like everybody's out there on Wednesdays. Bam is up there again, stepping back today. - Wait, what? - I'm just saying. - I don't know what's going on. - Tuesdays Wednesdays. - Oh, Bam is back. - They're recruiting actually. - Do you know, I was thinking about this this morning and this is sad that I was thinking about this. Do you think there's a chance Nate Oates is using you? - No. - 'Cause every time he's in New York, you don't seem to link up with him. - That's absolutely not true. - And over the spring, we went. - He doesn't respond to texts. It feels like a one-way street relationship. - Just text with him yesterday. - And did he text back? - Yes. - What do you say? - Leave me alone. - We got a five-star. It's a great get. - And what do you say? - Roll tide. - What do you say back? - Roll tide. - He wrote back Roll tide? - That's what we do. - Okay. - Elephants, baby. - Dude, get hurt. I feel like-- - Not hurting you. - Yeah, god forbid, I get hurt. You think, you know, you're potentially gonna relocate your life and you got a guy in the first couple of minutes making fun of that you're a big stall when you finally get something going. I would hate to have somebody-- - I never said you were a big stall. - Do that. All right. Let's do, I would hate to have somebody. Hey, I built my career blog and like, this is how you do it. And then you do it. - I'm proud of you. - I'm proud of you. - You've taken attendance at extracurricular activities. (laughing) - It's okay. - I'm proud of the rehabilitation of Rikobasco. I've said that I've bought stock at a very low price and it's insane right now. It's like at the start. - I think I maybe would have-- - I don't want to do it. Let's go ahead and move on. - I would have been more respected if you'd be like, it was fucking pouring out. I didn't want to go. No, I did want to go. Ton of people reached out. Hey, you go into this thing. I'm like, no, the cards loaded. I gotta work. - But you didn't much feel go. Okay, let's go. - We got you. - We got you. - We got you. - We got you. - Fix. Give me a fix. - All right, I'm going back to the well, Louisville on the road. Winning on the road's hard, but I love this Louisville team. I think they're gonna be in the mix in the ACC all the way through. Give me Louisville minus the three. USF Navy over the plan. They are playing NC State Friday night. USF Navy over 54 and a half. Despite what people said after week zero, Navy does throw the ball. This game's gonna be high scoring. - Ooh. - Over 54 and a half. - Hear that, Dave? - This one is a strict principle. Indiana plus 14 and a half against Maryland. - Ooh. - Maryland will Maryland at some point. I could be completely wrong, but they have Ohio State on deck. If there's Maryland really gonna be undefeated going into that game. I think they could potentially lose the game outright. And Indiana stinks. They had to go to overtime with Akron on a crazy two-point conversion fest where they missed a guy wide open late night. I'm taking Indiana plus the 14 and a half. I think they keep it close. Memphis minus the three and a half. Boise's past defense is bad. Memphis can sling it around. They're like Memphis. And I'm gonna take SMU Charlotte over 53 and a half. We have not seen Memphis, sorry, SMU take the top off this offense yet. I think it's a get right spot. Two close losses to, or two tough losses to big 12 teams in TCU in Oklahoma. SMU gets going over 53 and a half. Charlotte's really bad. 'Cause that's a five pack. I got one more. Two more actually. All right, I'll do mine real quick. I am going since he minus two at BYU. I know this might be a tough game. I think BYU is pretty banged up. They had a bunch of guys who didn't finish the game against Kansas. Since he's a tough team, they're often socks. But I think they can win this game. I have Arkansas plus six at home against Texas A&M. This one is either gonna be a genius pick or gonna look so fucking stupid. Syracuse plus seven at home against Clemson. This, I really do think this is either Syracuse wins it outright or they lose by like 30. And I'm like, what the fuck was I thinking? But Syracuse defense is very good. Oklahoma minus 20 at home against Iowa State. I picked Pittsburgh minus two and a half at Virginia Tech. East Carolina plus three and a half at Rice. I think this one's gonna be a fucking absolute blowout. UGA, Georgia minus 14 and a half at Auburn. I think that Auburn cannot move the ball. They cannot move the ball. I've watched them against Cal. I watched them against Texas A&M. I think Georgia can sleepwalk to this one. And they had that little scare against South Carolina. So maybe they're not sleepwalking. Mizzou and Vandy over. What is that number? Find that for me. I didn't write down. That's my fault. I have Oregon minus 27 and a half at Stanford. Stanford also very, very bad. 54 and a half. 54 and a half, give me that. I'm not gonna actually take Tennessee because I think Milton might be hurt. That's gonna be good. What? That might be good too. You're right. All right, you know what? Give me Tennessee. No, I'm gonna stay away from it. That's smart, Dan. That's smart. That's your using your brain. You're not betting every game. Just to bet every game. That's smart. That was really smart. I'm gonna go back to TCU minus 12 and a half. I was on West Virginia. They won outright against Texas Tech. I'm going back to what I said last week. I was right about that. TCU, week one, sticks and everyone's head. TCU is a lot better than people realize. They're not what we saw against Colorado. They put it on. Who was it, SMU last week? Yeah, SMU, it's a mismanagement. Play calling and stuff like that. But they did, they did. Who was the final score? 27-11, I feel like. Okay, that's a put it on. And it was a six and a half point spread. So I was never in doubt. Fresno minus 24 and a half at home against Nevada. Fresno, undefeated, best group of five team right now. I added them, they won, what, 51 to 10 last week. That was interesting. 3417, SMU. 3417. Washington minus 18 at Arizona. I have Boston College minus three at home against Virginia. I have the LSU pick. SMU minus 23 and a half at home against Charlotte. So it's kind of what Rico was saying. I want to take Toledo, but they're doing the same thing with DeQuan Finn. I don't know if he's going to play or not. So that might be an ad later. And then I have my lock later. Okay, Dave. I got with you, Dan, Syracuse plus seven at home against Clemson. I think they can win that game. And they traditionally play Clemson tough in the dome, even when they're terrible. Colorado plus 21 and a half already gave them as USC. I have taken Kentucky. I feel like five years in a row against Florida. I don't know why, but it flips in this year. I think Florida may be decent and Kentucky not as good as they've been the last couple of years. I'm taking Florida plus, uh, is it a plus or minus? I have plus, but I thought they're minus one and a half. Florida's plus one and a half, you say? Yeah, Florida plus one and a half. So far plus one and a half, I can talk you over in Kansas, Texas, 63 and a half and Kansas. I have the over and you and LV Hawaii 59 and a half. You know, these not bad team. I had them as my mortal a little bit ago, uh, LSU to be Ole Miss. I like Stanford plus 27 and a half at home against Oregon. I had Stanford last week at home against Arizona. They almost beat them. South Carolina plus 20 12 and a half at Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is that good. I don't like Joe Milton. I think South Carolina keeps us close. I think it goes to the end. TCU, West Virginia, over 52 and a half. Bama minus 14 and a half at Miss State. Miss State's horrible Arizona plus 18 and a half. I'm going against in there at home against Washington. I think this game is sneaky close and Fresno minus 24 and a half at home against Nevada. Uh, I forgot a couple, uh, Eastern Michigan plus eight against Central Michigan. Air Force minus 10 at home against San Diego State and, uh, Louisiana Monroe plus 13 and a half at home against App State. Uh, locks. I'm, I am bad at locks. Ebo is O and four. Zupi is three and O. Zupi's fucking killing it. Where'd Zupi go? Did he have his pick? Oh, there he is right there. I don't, will you switch? Now, yeah, Harry switched. Yeah, no, Harry was holding that camera. I'm not crazy. Uh, okay. What's start? Zupi, you're, you're, you're three and oh, why don't you start? Yeah, and I feel bad Rico because I decided this yesterday. So I'm not going against you, but I do like Maryland minus 14. Okay. Okay. I think they're a good team for months on pick Central. All we get is Maryland, fucking Maryland's when they're not supposed to. They, uh, they lost the tent or didn't cover against temple a couple years ago. we thought they were going to start rolling there like Maryland fucks up. So I hate Indiana, but it's a strict principle play. Okay. Uh, Ebo trying to get his first lock of the year, lock of the week. I'm gonna go ECU rice over 46 and a half. Oh, okay. Uh, Hank, Hank is two and three. I'm going to go shout out to mincey lit for last week. I'm gonna go Notre Dame minus five. Yeah, I think the bright lights obviously don't scare them Duke. They're not used to, you know, ever ever playing in this big of a moment. They're going to crumble except the other week. Jack Kentucky minus one and a half. Kentucky minus one and a half. I'll go with mine. I'm going to take Louisville minus three at NC state. I'm with Urico. I like Louisville a lot. I think I have this power rated as a 10 point spread. Yeah, would have been mine. I made that up. Yeah, I just made up what I said. Uh, Dave, a quick ad that I forgot West Virginia plus 12 and a half against TCU. I think that game is close. I already gave out the over. I don't know why. I like self Carolina. That's my mortal plus 12 and a half. I think they can win at Tennessee. Okay. Rico's not available yet. Jack, but you can add first half, but the lock will be two lane minus 21. Oh, UAB is really bad. Mike Pratt back. He got a scrimmage last week against nickel state whoever the fuck they played. Two lanes very good at home in New Orleans, uh, Minty and widespread panic. Fucking playing after every score. I think it's a blowout with two lane blowout. Okay. I will. I mean, I have to ride because I am a rider. Well, you admit I'm a rider. Rico is even though you hate my guts right now. I didn't say I did. I'm trying to find this two lane game. What time, uh, what time is that game? It's 11 a.m. Saturday. What time? ESP 11 a.m. 12 o'clock. 12. Eastern time. I am a rider, so I will be taking that, uh, bet. I think they smash them. Yeah, I think they smash them too. I like that. I like that. Uh, okay. I think that's it. I think that's it. I'm sure I'll have some ads. All right. See you guys. All right. See you, Dave.
