Last week of the regular season, Rico close. It's getting close. Rico is at 51.9%. Dave is on his heels 50.9%. Three games back. Wait, Dave is 50.9. 50.9. I'm three games back. Three games back. I have, I think I've set the record for most consecutive weeks going 9 and 13. I'm at 46%. I would like to make an announcement here here here in front of the pickup audience and Dave and Rico. This rivalry week, I will have a bet on every single game. I got it. I got to go. I got to go for I got to go for one last shot. I'm going to have to go 17 games over 500. But hey, listen, crazier things have happened. Why not? Why not this week for me to get hot? So follow Barstool Pickham. I will be texting Jack. I will do a day by day. So every single day, I will have a side or total on every single game. And it's probably going to most likely end up me like falling to like 44%. But we're going to take a shot. Ebo has the Bob Diaco wrapped up. Locked up. Congrats to him 10 and three. What a season. But yeah, it's really a two-man race. It's Dave and Rico. Rico, you gotta be rooting for me to keep on off the board. 100%. I couldn't be rooting for you harder. I need you to be sharp. I need Dave, I need Davey eyeballs to show up. And because Rico, he's got to play four corners. You know that. With the three game lead, with the amount I'm doing, like if he does that, I go right past them. Yeah. And by the way, as always, bull season does count. We go all the way to the end. So I think what we'll end up doing is we'll have a pick them next week for championship week. We'll have a bull preview. And then given the new schedule, I think we'll maybe do one last pick them before the semis because that's like the second week of January. So we'll do a final one there where there's only four games left or three games left. So we should have an answer to who has won by that point. But Rico, are you you're feeling it, right? I mean, this is, I didn't know he was at 50.9. I looked at that tweet the other day. And I just, I guess I retweeted it blind. I didn't look at it. Yeah, he's hot. And he did the right thing. He was, what is that game? What does that mean? You looked at it blind. It's like, it's like 10 letters. No, it's actually just three numbers. It's, it's 51.9 versus 50.9. I think it was when I was on radio like, we came in. So I just instantly retweeted it. So I was like, all right, it's, and I didn't look at it till now, to be honest with you. But yeah, he's not dangerous. Yeah, that's very good. You got to take more attention to detail. Yeah, it is college basketball season. Rico, uh, how was the Maui that? How was that last game? I fell asleep last night fell asleep late. It's late. It's a late start. It's a late start, but it's a good one. Yukon, um, uh, Yukon, Memphis was good, uh, Auburn. I was state was good. Michigan state Colorado was not great, but it's, it's a great tournament. They should have a first round there. Yeah. Unbelievable. UNC came back from what 21 down? Yeah. Insane second half. Um, Dave, how you feeling? I mean, I know you're, you're in Miami. Still, I think you're, you're going tomorrow. I get back to live bullets, which I'm afraid. And I got to put like one I've been, so I have been betting almost every weekend to last because I've been in gambling states. I just place it, but I got to put like millions of dollars into my account. Yeah, which is frustrating because it's like, I don't, I, I have to, uh, like, I'll be back in Miami Friday. So I just need all my bets in. It's not like I replenish when I win. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. No, you can't, you can't play like, uh, window by window. Yeah. So it, it, I probably have to put in like five million to cover through Sunday. Just live bullets all the, I mean, and you got feast week. I know, which is, I can't wait to get back like to into a gambling state. I, it's very frustrating. Yeah. I mean, feast week is, is my favorite. I mean, this is like, it's, it's weird having you not live bullets, even on a Tuesday. I didn't watch one second in the Maui. Yeah. I'm going to bet at 8.30 p.m. Because feast week is usually the week where it's like, uh, I'll be like at the park with my kids. And Dave will be like, did you, what do you have in this game? And I'll be like sitting at the park watching like, you know, a triple overtime in a, in a fucking ballroom in the Bahamas. And there's nothing better. Yeah. And I also get smoked every feast week too. Smoked beyond smoked. It's by Thursday. When, when NFL comes around on Thursday feast week, I'm just like, I'm just like, basically just bruised and battered and being like, whatever, I, I, you know, just give me an NFL game to try to change what I'm looking at. What has been historically worse for you guys? Champions League. Champions League. I just was going to say that. Yeah. I think it's honestly both. I can answer. Can you answer both on championship week? Yeah. Championship. But, but there's something about feast week, Dave, where it's like, uh, it's like the first part of the week is the college basketball. And then I just feel like all my memories of Thanksgiving week is like Friday, like, like losing like Iowa and Nebraska and being like, I can't, this is like no moss. Get me to get me back to like regular world where there's not sports on 24/7. I'm in a totally different spot. I'm coming in fresh and coming in hot tomorrow. Yeah. By the way, we should mention because our guy, John Fanta, unbelievable, electric. He's the best. Hey, John, thanks. Um, just falling up on the crossdown shootout. How bad did it hurt to finally ring Cincinnati ahead of your buddy, Sean Miller this week? Didn't hurt me one bit. Adam, I, I do my, I do my job since he's better than Zaver right now. You've had, you've had Zaver ranked ahead of him all season until this week. I just, I figured it had to hurt. I know your buddies with Sean. I mean, just, you know, I got a job to do, Adam. So Adam, you call me up here and you want to, you want to tell me it must hurt me to rank somebody against over somebody else. It seemed the media bias in Zaver's favor for the last several years and now they've been a better program. They get Cincinnati's butt. They've been a better program by a wide margin. Frankly, Cincinnati, we've been waiting for this version of Cincinnati. Cincinnati's been, they're, they're busted to kick. You're using the past couple of years. No, no, no, no, no. That's your argument. Zaver's been better than Cincinnati in every facet. There's a media bias. I go off score. The scores of the game. We're savior over Cincinnati. What a ad tell me about how I feel about stuff. I don't lose sleep over who where I rank a team. I lose sleep over whether I took the press out on time, whether I picked up the right groceries for my wife, if I'm taking care of her right now, in the Cleveland Browns. I didn't lose any sleep over the matter, but I might lose sleep because of you. Happy Thanksgiving. - Happy Thanksgiving, Johnny. Go Browns. - No, you don't get to salvage the call. - Unbelievable, college, the best doing college basketball, there is, like you said then, he's the one who got away. - He is the one who got away. - He didn't really get away. He said no. - He said no, but I honestly think like, when I'm on my deathbed, I'm gonna be like, they'll be like, what, do you have any regrets? I'm like, Fanta. - He's unbelievable. - He's unbelievable. - You don't get to salvage the call? (laughing) - I wonder if he's on my wife. - I wonder if he's on my wife in a wheelchair. Vosko, he's like, you don't like a K-Mart Fanta. Like, you know, he's the guy who's doing the, the, the, the, what do they call those things on that space? - The spaces, yeah. - The spaces, like, in doing the extra mile and always being plugged in while you're doing oblos. Like, in a different world, you could have been Fanta. - He's electric. - He is. - If we had played by play options, I think we would have had him. - Yeah. - He wants to be the mainstream guy. - And he, I mean, he deserves it. He's, he's like, just something about him where he's just, he gets in the mix with all these fan bases. And like, you know, a Xavier Cincinnati fan is getting mad at him on a Monday night, during Monday night football. I texted him and I was like, it was like third quarter of the Monday night football game and I just texted him, you don't get to salvage the call. And he just, he just wrote, he wrote back Auburn for three bang. And it's like, we're watching football Fanta, no. No, I didn't say this. - I think there's a chance Fanta lost sleep that he had to put Cincinnati ahead of. - Save it. - He is friends with the co, like, that he may have lost sleep about. That caller may have been incorrect. - Yeah. Yeah. Zupi, you'll have to put in the call when we just, when we introverted so the people who missed it can, can see it. - You don't get to see happy things. Give it go, bros. Is there any part of your Bosco when you hear it's like that could have been me? - Yeah, he's, I mean, he's killing it. - But you could kill it. Do some spaces. Like, like, he watches it all. He makes himself a destination. It's a max effort guy. - Yeah, he's, he's wanting to, I looked so, when I texted him last night, I was looking for my last text with him. Just pure Fanta. He's just, like, there's something about him that I just can't, I can't get enough of him. He, his last text to me before I said, you don't salvage the call was, my wife's been praying that the kidney stones subside totally serious. Like, his wife was literally like, getting on her knees before going to bed being like, I hope big cats kidney stones stop. That's the Fanta family. Just one of ones. - Did you talk to him about the browns, honey? (laughing) - Yeah, like. - That might be why the browns have had such a bad season, because Fanta's wife's been praying for my kidney stones and not the brownies. - Could be. (laughing) - He's an electric guy, he's an electric guy. He has been from the second I became aware of him, which I think was in New Orleans. - Yeah, yeah, when he came on the show, he's just an absolute electric factor. He is, he's one of those guys that, I made you a strong move for him. He just, he didn't have it. He's like, no, I'm gonna go back. I wanna call games and I just, what do you gonna do? - I love 'em. - All right, college football, dude. - There's a chance he's a mega star with us, by the way. - Yeah, I'd agree. - Like, I like, people know he's a college basketball guy. He may be like an international superstar if he was with us. (laughing) It's like Pippal and Fanta, Mr. White. - Yeah, honestly, he made, that's how electric he is, but you gotta be like, really in his wheelhouse to know who he is. - Yeah, yeah, I, yeah, I, I could see Fanta, I could see Fanta, like, going from just college basketball to, like, hosting the prices right or like, - Yeah. - Final dude soon. - I mean, clearly the Browns of football he likes everything. I mean, he's not beyond, when you flick around the channel, to be like, watching the Women's Bowling Championship on like some, off, off, they send him when college basketball's over. He does the weirdest sport. He's probably done 20 sporting events that have a max total, like, attendance of 14 people. Like, they send him to odd events with nobody watching. - We should see if we can. - And by the way, it's electric when he's doing it. Like, he has me locked in on like, second round, like, women's softball in the meack. - Yeah, we, we should see if we can, if he has any place to do, like, him doing our mini golf or like, camp bar stool, like, he would be, we should, we, we might have to, we might have to open up the talks with Fanta again. (laughing) - Hey, Pick 'em listeners, we're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. - Hey, Kirk Herb Street here. When Hertz said they needed a football analyst, I assume they wanted my help. Turns out they wanted Peter, my dog. I didn't even think Peter knew ball. Well, technically he knows that ball. Now, Peter's part of the Hertz Gold Squad, and we'll be making weekly picks throughout the college football season. So whether you're coming to the stadium, the cheer on Peter's picks, or kicking off your own road trip. Book direct at Hertz.com/Peter. - All right, now back to the episode. - All right, so college football, obviously, one of the craziest Saturdays ever, that was so awesome. I think you guys probably agree. I think we all thought the 12 team playoff was gonna be the best, but that proved it, because you had games that would not have mattered whatsoever that absolutely mattered on Saturday. And it's like, that's why the sport, I feel like, is in a stronger place than it's ever been. - Yeah, Alabama has put me in the worst spot. I like Oklahoma. I've had to root for Alabama twice. Versa Vanderbilt, when nobody should be rooting for them versus Vanderbilt, but I kept money lining them. And then I have the future that went up and smoked. That was almost as fast as the Bengals' future. Like where I don't even get like, oh, I didn't even get. My future's ever going to ice cold, ice cold. - Yeah, you didn't even get, like, if you put in a future on Alabama, like you did, you could deal with them losing in the playoff, but you got to the playoff. - Yeah, it looked like that, a straight path, like nobody left on their schedule. So my last three futures, Phillies, Texans, who stink, and these guys, so not good. - Yeah, Rico, you got anything live in the future's market? - No, I don't. Who's in, like, how many spots are left? The SEC, like, obviously, was a disaster. You have the five conferences. And then I have four teams, I think, are safe right now. Ohio State, State, Penn, Notre Dame, and Tennessee, just by happenstance. - Well, hold on, Tennessee's not safe 'cause they got to play Vandy. - All right, yeah, okay. - Yeah, all right, so Tennessee's not even there. So that leaves a mishmash of Georgia, Indiana, A&M, SMU, and BAM. Who's the three that they would put in? - Indiana. - I'm right in South Carolina. - Yeah, Dave's been hot on South Carolina. Indiana's in, obviously they have to be Purdue. Indiana's in, Ohio State's in, Texas. - Ohio State's in, Texas. - Texas A&M is not in, by the way. They did-- - Orgons in. - I didn't say they were in. I said, there were a mishmash of the five leftovers. - Texas A&M can't do this game. - What was they gonna do the same? - We're gonna end up yelling each other again. - We just did this last night. - Texas A&M is only in if they win out. They can't lose another game. - I agree, okay. - They're in the leftovers. - Yeah, but I think the three losses, forget about all the three losses. That will get figured out if there's more chaos. You gotta focus on all the two, the biggest winners from the chaotic Saturday was the ACC because they will probably get Miami and SMU or possibly Clemson in. And then the big 12 should get someone in as well, which that looked like it could be a pro, they could have been completely blanked from the whole thing a week ago. - Yeah. - So I don't, I'm not doing the three loss teams until we get to a point where it's like, okay. - I am willing to put a three loss team over two loss team. I'm on the record with that. If South Carolina wins, I would put them over other two loss SEC teams. - You would put them over Tennessee? - I would have to relook. I definitely put them in over Alabama. - Well, Alabama has three losses. And what is South Carolina? - Three losses. - Oh yeah, so I'm talking three over three. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like to all the three losses team, basically put them in a pile. And if you get to it, you just figure it out. - Yeah, I'm just saying you want to put South Carolina in over Alabama. I probably wouldn't because they played. - Yeah, see I would in a heartbeat, but. - Yeah. - So Rico, what do you think? I don't know, dude. I could see a world where Bama still has life. I know that's crazy to say, but like, it's a TV show and they want that best. I don't know. You think the ACC is gonna get two? - Yeah, I think so because it's gonna be SMU versus Miami. If SMU and Miami both win and they have one loss going into the ACC championship, I think barring like insane blowout, I think they'll go two losses before three losses. - Yeah. and they also. we'll go, "Hey, you don't get penalized for having to play an extra game." - Right. - So yeah, I think that's what's gonna end up happening. What are you gonna say, Hank? - Well, it'd be very clear after this weekend or will it still, 'cause right now it seems like it's every situation's possible. - I think it'll be very clear after this weekend because yeah, I think it'll be very clear after this weekend because you'll have a definite answer on a few teams that are like, who are not gonna be playing an extra game? And then you have to decide the extra game, does it matter or not? Like, it will matter if Texas A&M, because Texas A&M already has three losses. So I don't think given if they lose the SCC championship game to get in, but if Texas wins, there obviously no matter what in. So yeah, I think it'll be very clear after this week, but it is chaotic. And Indiana, Indiana and Tennessee were the big winners on Saturday, even though Indiana lost. - Right. - Do you guys have anything with the high-spinner, is it Hunter? - Should be. I'm getting nervous. I'm starting, I'm getting to the point. - No cash house. - Yeah, no cash out. Dave, I'm getting to the point where I'm doing a lot of op-o research. I've been doing that. - Just to see what you like, yeah. - Yeah, like Ashton Gentie, everyone's saying we've never seen anything like this. I mean, 2014 Melvin Gordon was just as good. So even 2011 Monty Ball had an insane scene. Rashad Penny, your guy. - Nope. - Or no, Donald Pumphrey was your guy. Rashad Penny though. - Both of them. - Yeah. - Of course there's a lot of, I got some op-o research that I'm been doing crunching the numbers 'cause I've been seeing some people trying to say the Travis Hunters winning a cardio award. It's like, what the fuck is that mean? Come on. He's doing something no one's ever seen before. - Let's take a-- - Hey, pick 'em listeners.

Do we have a contract update? - Yeah, we're done. - We're done. We're good. So we got another year. - Yep. - More than three. - Yep, yeah, I'm a fair guy. I'm doing contracts. It's the worst time of the year for me. - Yeah. Yeah, Hank was like, is Dave on one? 'Cause he asked me like a bunch of questions. I was like, no, he's just doing contracts. - Yeah. - And I had to yell at Hank. Hank's negotiating before I even started negotiating. Hank's coming in. - I said, I had to take a form with this. I got a problem with that. It's like Hank, I haven't even, we have an even tie. This is the first time since I have the company back that we're doing. You can't pre-complain when you don't even know what's going on. - I was just talking to shop. I didn't even realize what I was doing. - I did tell, I did tell Hank when, I mean, I think it was all for good 'cause we're trying to figure out just like numbers and everything. But for me personally, every single year, and this goes back to like 2013. I remember when I was making like, I think I was making $60,000. Way, way back in the day. Every year around this time, Dave would just text me and he would say a number and I'd be like, well, yeah, that's more than fair. Like I wouldn't even have to. - Yeah, and Hank jumped to God. - Yeah. - And so many words. Hank's like, listen. I know I'm part of lost successful stuff. I don't wanna carry the boss goes to the world. Like I want like that extra boss go money to squeeze to me and not to the boss goes. - That's, yeah, that's not true. But that's bad. - Thanks, Hank. - That's not true, Rico. That's not true. He did not say the boss goes to the world. - I want boss go here more than anyone. - Boss go, are you gonna. Is there gonna be maybe a move? - I'm doing everything I can to try to get out there. Yes. We are talking to agents. We're looking at Geico. We're doing everything. - Geico. (laughing) - Agents and Geico. - Geico. - Oh, Geico's getting the price, dude. - That's the price. - I got a little broken down. - Geico. - Just, just, just. We're paying for the move. - Right. But it's, yes. But once you get out there, it's way in all the options. But isn't the Chicago cost a living? - Yes. - Less than. - Significantly. - Like, 30% less. - Significantly. - So, what do you mean? Like the, that aspect, you may have all blows and God knows what kind of, but looking at the pricing, you'd have more money in Chicago than you would in New York. So, I don't know what looking at Geico has to do with AMA. Well, you got to look at Geico. - Yeah, a lot of it is, it's her work, too. It's transferring that work, trying to figure that out as well. - But just to be clear, Geico has nothing to do. No, Geico would save me a lot of months. That would help him, like monthly, that's big. But you'd be ahead of the game. If just person A, person B, one person lives New York, one person lives Chicago, person B, Chicago has more money. Like, I have more money in Miami, why I'm here, than I do in Boston and New York. - Oh, no, he froze. - So, what does Geico have to do with it? - Austin, do we have him? - No, he's fucking for. - Wait, say that again, say that again. - Say that again, say that again. - I hate my internet, internet unstable. Can you hear me? - Yes, we're, we can hear you now. - Take, person A, person B. I don't know where I left off, but person A, person B. One person lives in New York, one person lives in Chicago. Person B is going to have more money available 'cause it's cheaper to live. It's why I'm in Miami, as opposed to Boston, New York, more money. So, I don't know what Geico has to do with anything. But Dave, you gotta talk to Geico. Like, when you, when he says he's doing everything again, he talked to Geico, what is that mean? - Because you're, you have more money. If you make the move, you will have more money in your bank account. - Right. - What was the conversation with Geico? - That, imagine that being the Geico agent picks up that call. - He basically called Geico. He's like, "Should I move to Chicago?" (laughing) - It's Car A and House Rico or just Car? - Yeah, what, what was the Geico combo? - It was Car. - Okay. - But even that, isn't it? - That's like 100 bucks a lot. - Yeah. - So then what, so then. - But I wanted to know what you're going for. It could have been more. You got to research what you're doing before you get out there. So I wanted to know what it was. And they told me it was hand, I was like, "This is great." - Rico's got to come buy groceries here. - Yeah. - Just to see. - Geico, Geico. I mean, we got, I looked, when we were, you were here last week, I told you like, just rent for a year. You can rent a, you gotta get somebody to rent. You gotta get somebody to rent. And Bernie told me that they think the zero percent chance you ever move, that this is all one big song of dance, the Bosco song of dance. And it wasn't, it was not dance. - No. - There was somebody in this room. - Yeah, I mean, I've said this to Rico. - I'm doing everything I can to research it. 'Cause I've been, I'm like, I feel like I'm in old school, Bosco land, where like, when I would, Dave, when I'd be like, I don't think he's that crazy. And he'd be like, no, no, he's crazy. And then when, like, he showed that he was crazy, I was like, shit, I was wrong. I feel like, I'm in that spot again, where I'm like, no, I think he really wants to move. And everyone's like, no, no, he doesn't. But I hold out, I'm an internal optimist by nature. I hold out. - I don't see it. I mean, the man half the time can't get over their verisano bridge. I just, I don't know how he picked up everything, but what do I know? - Rico, I'm battling McCarthy and Max every day in the gambling cave they're talking shit. I got a beer rider and I just know that if you were here, they would just, you know, scour and run away and go back to how they should be. And you would thrive here. But I just can't, I can't, I just can't see it happening either. - Go ahead, Jack. - Woody? - Yes. - Some planes got everything already. - No. - What do I do? - What do I do? - Exactly. - You have more problems going on than anybody, according to you. - Yeah, they run this way. - They run this way. - They run this way, they run this way. - They're the league in problems. Imagine if he has to move his family across the country. - Yeah, I mean, what happens when he moves and he's still not at 50% of the streams? That's, okay, that would be, that would actually be a very big problem because I've told Rico, lead the league's problems is very funny line. I've told Rico that I think he would be great here because here's my quick long intro. I can never quit Rico. I'm a rider for life. We've been through ups and downs, but I am a rider through and through. I've told him, Rico's done a very good job recently of being a model citizen. But, and I think I speak for the fans, they miss a little bit of the junkyard dog. - I got a report on Pickham, and Pickham is down, and it was from our lawyers. Apparently people, we lost the segment of people, just tune in to see Rico go crazy, which is probably true. - Yeah. So, so so so we have lawyers on pick them. No, it was like a spreadsheet like analyzing. I don't know where lawyers They're probably our data analysts, but yeah, it was it was from the exact team. Yeah, so I I am invested in trying to find a junkyard dog That is not a junkyard dog that is Bad for Rico's health and also other people's health the junkyard dog throwing high noon cans the con stuff That's a bad junkyard dog. That's a junkyard dog that is bad in Rico's Rico can't sustain that in his own brain, but There's a junkyard dog for instance like Even a camp bar stool when you and Max went at it like that junkyard dog where it's like in between the white lines junkyard dog is a very great Rico and I think here I told Rico if he moves out here There's two things that I'm going to expect of him be at every stream and No chance and do stool streams because stool streams it were revamping stool streams I think we're gonna come up with a new name Tates Tates running it. He's doing a good job Like we're gonna start doing a lot more of those inner office competitions that I think people like and that is where Rico thrives because when he gets into the competitive mode He can be a junkyard dog and then when the whistle when the whistle blows in the games over He can go back to being model citizen Rico So it's like trying to recapture the junkyard dog in a healthy way. I think could happen in Chicago I don't know if it's possible the only way I could say it working is if you actually like Built an in-law house for him attached to the office where like he can live at the office and like just roll out of his little thing with his family and roll on to the stream Because if his house is not connected to the office he is going to have all blows all the time What is my attendance record on streams has not been an issue, but you guys do like you realize New York streams far less than Chicago right Like those are converse those are conversations with with my wife like that's not hey Sundays is a work day That's how it works, but you didn't go to the Met Yankees stream But Rico I'm revamping I got the Met Yankees the the world series Dodgers like meek Phil was there in the new year Rico I'm revamping like Hank and I have been talking about revamping the gambling streams because like we've got a problem right now Where people like love to come for the witching for the early slate? They come for the early slate. It's packed house It's probably too packed. We got to we got to try to figure out a way to make it so it's like I think we talked about it But like six people is better for a stream than 12 people because six people can all have a singular conversation And that's what people want to watch and what we have the problem here is we watch the early games the late games come on I have to go prep for PMT because we take you know three hours at 9 p.m. on Sunday nights and then everyone leaves because it's like you know The witching hours gone. We need people who are like hey, I'm gonna stay for the whole day. I'm gonna stream I'm gonna be active. I'm gonna be in this like that's where I would rely on you because I think you're really good on streams when you're committed to them So and you think you're gonna get That long of a boss go stream again. It's like I said I'm back in the Rubbin is arm right now Sunday sauce all blows like Believe man, I believe in Moscow. That's an old time. That was an old time. That was a long time ago Well, why didn't you go to the World Series streams? The Yankees were filled out the Yankees were fans were all there. They took all the seats All right, I believe in Bosco and it's probably gonna be my downfall, but I believe in the sky Believe in something believe in Bosco Imagine those the riders with those flags believe in Bosco. That's Listen, I'm as rider as rider could ever be because I'm pushing for this and I do Yeah, I have a plan. You're opening. Yeah, you're opening the door. I don't think it's ever gonna happen But no, we'll see. It's not I mean, I look like a fool right now because I even look like how he's looking at me I just he's I mean he's a guy like who loves New York Yeah, I'm not if he doesn't want to move. I don't want to I kind of want I do want to do this because you say he's not gonna Yeah, I want I do want to do that I'm doing research Did you Looking at real estate agents to list it like you have all of the fucking things that I'm like you I don't know why it's mic sucks so bad. Can you zupy? What does he have to do you just got to turn it down? Turn it down Rico. He's just screaming. All right, what do you do with your car? Try again, Rico Say it again, Rico I'm gonna tell you this if he moves it's And I don't want to like throw cold water on the move The next contract negotiations after the move are gonna be a disaster And a good way that's bad that's bad that is bad that is bad That's a that's a bad statement because you said they'd be good well. I said that my you gonna see that's it He thinks he signed the contract and had a 60 home run season the second he signs In the season hasn't played out the We're gonna put him a good line of what I've said. He's gonna be looking a lot of great. It's gonna get more Yeah, he's gonna be yeah, he's gonna get more shots. He had more open shots of the balls getting blown by him. What if he's fucking Tony Mandorich Rico what I've told you and and I've been very consistent about this you could back me up. I said You you do the work and then you get the money That's how it works in the world you do the work and then you get the money So and I think that if you have a goal in your head of what you want to be earning in a year or two I think that money can happen here, but the work has to come first Yeah Committed to that Okay, what was it? What was your yelling at Hank cuz we we didn't get any of it So if you could yell at Hank again with list I'm listing the fucking like you look at it people a list of house. How does it work renting? How does that work? What can I get for that if you rent the house for a year before you move? Geico I call fucking Geico It's moving costs like can she transfer a license for her work like there's different is it's not just picking up a couch and a fucking eight ball Like Jack McCartney when he moved Chicago. There's a lot of fucking involved It's not just fucking three old sweatshirts from fucking the TikTok shop and a fucking bay bag It's fucking you got to move. There's a lot to move. There's a lot of pressure. I want to make every it's the fucking sin on Thanksgiving I got to make everybody happy. This is what I'm at. This is my own. Hey, I'm trying to make everybody happy And you know it's not happy me cuz I'm fucking crying at night like this. It's fucking consumed you And you got Dave saying you're gonna be a fucking Tony manager. It's fucking fast. How does that work? It's gonna put you in the hall of fame and you just got the two fucking if there it goes You got your wife going. You know, they fucking they canceled you out once before. Are you sure they're gonna What did you wife say we canceled you? Well, I can't say was the cancel is a double cancel No, no, no, no. I don't know what happens at that house. What the stored lies are told at that house But we canceled you does she even know how the stuff you've done she probably just I can't see We canceled you you attempted murder you ran a guy's wife out of town you've killed seven employees we canceled you You've picked another job and left we can I would love to know the propaganda that you probably Have one channel in that house like it's the rider it's like rider terrorists on it's like all Jazeera except the Bosco network on that house Oh, man takes right straight off sitting he's selling his wife. It's off-setting Replay third down It's trying to cancel you once That may be the obvious But it's the I know that's the conversation happening. Do you want to move? They already tried to fuck you once Guys they're not loyal. They tried to fucking kick you out. Oh Bosco at the end of the day This whole conversation you got you got a lot of haters. You got Jackie Jackie tables You know Dave's a doubter hangs a doubter, but I believe like what more do you need nothing? But you it's just figuring out the logistics. Can she transfer the license and we will figure out how to get over the verano Virazzo bridge when there's traffic and you think he's gonna ten years ago The new thing is the Bosco this is a problem. I have Dave with with Bosco and Jerry They just keep asking me how much longer you're gonna work and I'm just like my my the youngest is one year's old. I ain't going anywhere for 17 years. - At the minimum. - Jerry, Jerry asked me that. Jerry asked me at Walmart. - Do you know what he did, Dave? We went to the fur ball, shout out, pause Chicago, a big gala, which is great. Every year we do it, there's, they dress up, we gotta get mispeached to you there. They dress up all the dogs are in tuxedos, it's awesome. We're there, and I was, I don't know what I was doing, I was talking to someone else, and I get in the car after with my wife, and I was like, so, like, did you talk to anyone? And she was like, "Yeah, Jerry, like cornered me "and asked how long you're working for." (laughs) I was like, "What?" These guys are just obsessed. God forbid I got hit by a bus tomorrow, like what? I'm working, I ain't stopping. I don't know what you want me to say. - Boss goes, "Wise said, we erased him." - Oh, we said it in 30 minutes. - We said it in 30 minutes. (laughs) - You quit. - You quit. - You steamrolled half our employees, and then quit. - That was fucked up. - Yeah. - And then he got mad at me 'cause I took his key card. Remember that? You're like, "Did you really have to take my key card?" I'm like, "Yes, dude, you literally have my key card." - I had serious people being like, watch out, like, off a shooting, like, Bosco. - Oh, come on. - All right, well, Bosco, listen, I will say this to put a bow on this whole thing. I was thinking about talking to you privately, but we're talking about it now. I do, I don't want to do this every year. So I do want to pass like a, like, hard and nice. I don't want to say it's maybe, like, this year specifically, but it's, I think it's got to be within the next, whatever you want to call it. 18 months that I'm done with this combo. We're not going to do this. - I know, I'm not showing you new, we got to go see it. - She hasn't even seen it. - I know, I know, I know. I'm going to go out and book conflites. - I know, I know, I know, I know. I listen, I still believe in you. So you want to see the text of neighborhoods. - I got text of neighborhoods. - Okay. - What more do you need, though, than me saying, I believe in you and I think you'd be great here. - You got a car insurance guy? - Geico. You don't need, you don't need Dave and Hank to have your back on this. Right. They can be doubters, and then in a year and a half, you know what we should do, Bosco? When you move out here, 'cause of all the money you're going to save on Geico, let's get you a fucking huge bottle of champagne, two of them, and we'll put Hank's name and Dave's name on it, and we'll pop that shit. - I'm awesome. - Yeah. - That's not fair. I don't think Hank's rooting for me. - I know. - No, no, no, no, no, Rico. And you know this, I'm the biggest believer in Bosco in the world, number one rider. I do not believe you're earnestly going to move. I just don't think you're going to move here. I'll believe that when I see it. If you do move here, I'm the number one believer, number one rider. All right. Dave, you've got to get somebody to rent the house. Dave, you're going to be on a champagne bottle if you don't answer this question correctly. What's the question? Do you believe? In Bosco? - Yeah. - He believes. Something's not. Like something's something's not. Okay, that's a half a sheep. We'll have two sheep to some things and to some things not. By the way, shout out, we'll do the games, but shout out, I want to just say because we're getting to the end of the season. And yeah, the lawyers did say the numbers were down. We got to get the junkyard dog back. This has been great. Shout out, I would say MVP of the pick 'em season is Jackie Tables because this all started with just the contract signed. - He's a nut. He's a little nut, but we need it. - I believe in you Bosco. - No chance he does. You should see what him and Max are saying about you Bosco. - How can you believe in me when you're face down in a credit card? - Fuck an asshole. (laughing) - Oh, okay. - That one did that one kind of. - Yeah, I mean, it's not really, you wouldn't be face down in a credit card, whatever. - What, I mean, you wouldn't. - All right, I don't do it. - Trump's like. - Trump's like. - And I already hit him with one of the, like, you. - Yeah. - Hey, pick 'em listeners. - Hey, Kirk Herch Street here. During the college football season, my Golden Retriever Peter and I are constantly on the road. (dog barking) Yep, Peter knows ball. When you travel this much, you want the gold standard. That's why Peter and I partnered with Hertz. They've got a brand new fleet of rental cars, a great app, and the best loyalty perks in the biz. So if you're traveling to cheer on your favorite college team, or kicking off a different road trip, go direct at Hertz.com/Peter. - All right, let's do the games. Let's do the games. Okay, we have five games. We're gonna hit. First up, Miami, it's Syracuse. Syracuse plus 11. Over under 67 and a half. What are we thinking, Dave? - Syracuse. - I love Syracuse here. I don't know why Miami's getting this much respect. Their defense has not showed up all season. I'm gonna take Syracuse and the over. I think Syracuse can win this game. And by the way, if Syracuse win this game, I am very much in a South Carolina over to loss, Miami team. - Yeah, that one makes sense. But you do understand that Alabama and Ole Miss both beat South Carolina. - I don't, yes, but I don't care about that because you can then look, we talked about yesterday. Yeah, fine, they beat 'em. When did they play early in the season? Where, Mississippi, Granite, they killed 'em. But Alabama won by two at home. And if you book, it's South Carolina's losses. It's Bama, Ole Miss, LSU, LSU, they should have won. LSU, they got fucked. And Bama's losses are Vanderbilt and smoked by Oklahoma. Those two losses are far better than the wins. - Yeah, I'd see it. Okay, Rico, what do you got in this game? - Syracuse. There's a spot play as well, Syracuse. Miami's been misleading final scores. They beat Wake by 28. That should have been the right side. Wake was the right side in that game. They got some touchdowns late. I think Q's can win the game outright. - Yeah, I like Syracuse as well. - Miami's been hanging on by a threat all season. - Yeah, yeah. And I also think this is one of those situations where Syracuse, this is one of the biggest games they're gonna have forever new coach, like trying to build a program. - I still live in a world where the dome has a tough place to play. - Yeah, I do too, although it hasn't been for a very long time, but I don't care. - Yeah, yeah, right. It's like, you're just like the. - Donovan McNabb running with those half shirts. It's like, that's a tough place to play. - The 11 a.m. kickoff, and you're like, "Oh, here we go to carrier dome." - Rob Conrad. - Okay, Dave, your game Michigan Ohio State, Ohio State minus 20 and a half over under 43. Oh, I forgot to say this at the beginning, but in a weird world, and Dave told the whole story about how everything came to be with Price Underwood, but part of Pickham's legacy as a show is that college football NIL could have changed forever on this show. Because that started the snowball effect of you being like, "I'm gonna get a quarterback into you working with Larry Ellison "to get Price Underwood." - It's true. - Yeah, I don't know what, I don't know. Maybe we get a minute, I know this. It played a role, whether they, it sounded like the Ellison's, Jolen was like waiting for somebody to be like, "Yeah, let's lock arms and go get what we got to get "for Michigan, so it's true." I think Michigan turned to slight corner the last game and a half. I know that's crazy. Dude, I think they're gonna win, no. Is the game mean anything, no? Because Ohio State, if they win, they go to the playoffs. If they lose, they go to the playoffs. Michigan season's pretty much, oh, I don't care about useless balls, but I do think they keep it within the number. Brandon Walker is a pussy and didn't have the balls to make this an interesting game. We did called football show and just to add some spice, I'm like, why don't we do a bet who keeps it closer? Mrs. would be state or Michigan in their games. We couldn't figure out what to bet. He said if he wins, he wanted to go to Starkville next year for game, for a basketball college football show. I said, fine, but if I win, we still go, but Mincey takes your spot on the program and he refuses to do it. - We gotta figure out. - We've been such a good bet. We gotta figure out a bet for this. We gotta, I don't know. I offered him the points. I said, I'll give you a plus five because we're at 21 point dogs, he's 26. He just refused to do it. Would have been such an unbelievable bet. Madagal's Starkville is just Mincey on stage. We need that. Just you guys going, I don't know why he wants you guys to, I guess going to Starkville in the first place would be crazy. Yeah, but did you hear what Fred Smooth said about the Pink Eye allegations? - No. - 'Cause when you guys went to Starkville, you all got Pink Eye, he said nothing in life, nothing in life is, or no, what do you say? He said, anything in life that's worth it comes with a little risk of Pink Eye. He is like, if you go to Amsterdam with a bunch of buddies, you're probably coming back a little Pink Eye, but it's worth it. So Starkville, yeah, he's like, if you wanna have fun, there might be some Pink Eye involved. All right, so you're taking Michigan Riko. I'm gonna take Riko anecdotally, you've gotten this game wrong every year for the last like 10 years. No, I don't think that's true at all. I took Ohio State when they blew them out for two years in like 2018 and 2019. But I feel like you had Ohio State the last three. The day, the day Dave flipped out and said, fuck me with the TVs, I had Ohio State. That's a fact. Okay, sorry. But you did have, you had, Ohio State. I think the last couple of years, right? Yeah, I got that was back when I wouldn't stream with people. I was fucked up and then it's dream and there was sabotage. But yeah, I lost. That was bad. Wait, it was sabotage. What do you mean? It was when I wouldn't stream with people and people there were streams. Now I've changed. Oh, that was. Yeah, that was also when we ran out, they won't let Rico on the streams. They won't let my husband on the stream. It was all setting penalties. Was that one cons? Yeah, cons. Yeah, you say what cons big T. By the way, cons, I called him yesterday when we're on the stretch. He and we he's made amends because I think he was very hurt by the Army Notre Dame loss, but he did call us dummies. So I did retweet that during the game when Notre Dame was just fucking running it down their throat. As always, foes are more liked than they seem because cons did a old school Bosco total radio silence after that game. Like I was going. I was going to his Twitter on Sunday morning to see and all he had was like retweets of people being like, this is why Army matters so much like pictures with the troops and stuff. Oh, fairness. The stadium was a nightmare to get in and out of. So we probably was dealing with that. Yeah, you got to give the benefit of that. I like that. You have his back. So aren't but that was it was you see the videos. You're taking an hour and a half. It's funny. You haven't cons back. That's all. Yeah, it's great. It's great. Okay. So Bosco, uh, what's your pick in this year? I'm going to take the over. You look at a team with some fucking, uh, inspiration here to run it up. You saw them jamming in last week. I think Ohio State scores a ton here. I'll take the over. Okay. I'm going to take Ohio State here, uh, because I think Ryan Day has been battered and bruised beyond belief in the last three years. And now that he has a team that's significantly better, he is going to try to run up the score. Uh, he's going to try to run up the score and, uh, and really prove a point, which is bully behavior because he does have a team that's way better. But he doesn't know when he's going to get this again. 20 point favorite against. It never, never, not, not with what we got going on the NIL. Yeah. Uh, so I'm going to take Ohio State here. All right, South Carolina Clemson Clemson minus two and a half over under his 49. I said this on the college football show, but my handicap of this game is simply, uh, dabbo doing a, uh, it looked like he was like going to his car and a reporter just got him. And he just said, uh, Carolina is in Chapel Hill, USC's in Southern California. There's only one school in South Carolina and it's Clemson and it'll always be Clemson. And that's it. That's my whole handicap. I like the line. It's great line. I'm taking South Carolina hottest team in the country or one of them. I would say more than even Kansas because I think they've played better teams. So I'm taking South Carolina. Okay. And I think they should find their way in if they win this game. Yeah. Well as well. A lot of motivation. They're playing great football. It takes South Carolina. I mean, Clemsons, Clemsons possibly in if they win this game. Yeah. They're a long shot. They're a long shot. They don't have a lot of great wins. I think they only have one game, one win over a ball team going into this game. So, um, they're going to need this, obviously. Uh, all right. Iron Bull, Auburn and Alabama, Alabama minus 11 and a half over and a 52. I really wish that those, those games were reverse last Saturday because I'd love to bet Auburn here. Uh, but knowing that Auburn won an Alabama loss, I feel like you key. It's tough to bet. Alabama in the spot or Auburn. Sorry. It's tough to bet Auburn. Who's going? Dama. I'll take Bama. Okay. You had Bama last week is your lock. That was an absolute disaster. I didn't think Oklahoma had it in their bag. They were a disaster all season. I did not expect that game to win outright. Yeah. Adel. They killed well, no shit. It was a lock. Yeah. Yeah. Like two touchdown favorite. They lost by 20. It was a 51 loss from you. I don't know. Clearly not the same Alabama team. So I were applying the same Alabama logic to a team that just may not be the guys. Uh, I don't take Auburn, but I hate it. I get what you guys are saying. Yeah. At some point, you lose the van. He lose Oklahoma like that. I don't have much faith in you. Yeah. You are what your record says. You are. Yeah. That's just kind of it. Uh, I'm going to take the over in this game over 52. Um, I don't love it, but I also said that I was going to bet every single game this week. So there it is over 52. Uh, last one, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas A&M is plus six over unders 48 and a half. I love the Aggies here. This is, I mean, we said it last week. My galco was asked about Auburn and like, or about Texas and he said, no, our focus is on Texas. I mean, Auburn, they've been, this game has been circled for the longest time. They want them so bad. They're going to, uh, Texas A&M college station. I'm going to take Texas A&M here. They agree. I agree with everything you said. A&M. I think they can win the game. Uh, take the under under. Okay. Under 48 and a half. Quinn, yours is a little banged up, right? So that might, yeah, I think the defense is travel. Okay. Uh, all right. Let's do our cards. By the way, this week. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners football seasons here.

Your I'm going to take this one stinks, but I'm going to take Mississippi State plus to 26. I worry about old Mrs. Motivation. After that, the flating loss last week, I think 26, a lot of points. I hate it, but I'll take Mississippi State plus to 26 for the number. Kansas minus one against Baylor, the hottest team in the country that trying to get to a bowl, take Kansas Duke minus four Duke sneaky at a good season. I'll take Duke minus four UTSA plus seven. I think army is not going to show anything. They got they got the championship game in a week and then they got Navy. So I don't know what the motivation. I'll take UTSA plus they're banged up for Notre Dame. I'll take Q's plus 11 and I'll take Kansas State as a spoiler for Iowa State plus three. Yeah, there's eight teams in the big 12 that could still go to the big 12 championship. Crazy. Insane. Insane. All right, Dave, your card. All right. It's a big one. Oklahoma State Colorado over 65 and a half. I think that was the easiest over ever. I last with Oklahoma State Texas Tech, but I do like the over again here. Ole Miss minus 26 at home misses to be state. I think with all the chaos, they maybe still think they can get in, kill this team. Georgia Tech plus 19 and a half. Georgia. I just don't think Georgia is great. Michigan plus 21 against Ohio State. Baylor plus one against Kansas. I think Kansas' run kind of comes to an end this week. We got who's oh Texas Tech minus three and a half at home against West Virginia over 64 and a half had trouble reading my sheet. Vandy plus 10 and a half. Vandy did cover yet last week for me, you can sell us you. Vandy plus 10 and a half at home against Tennessee. I think they can win that game. Kentucky at home plus three and a half against Louisville. South Carolina plus two and a half on the road against Clemson. Army minus seven against UTSA. I think they flush that game against Notre Dame and come back here. Army will I just feel like army guys don't don't look past people. They just were outplayed or outmaned outtalented. Arizona plus nine and a half at home against Arizona State Arizona State coming off that BYU crazy ending the willing ham the rest of field. I think Arizona's waiting for him here. Gives him a good game. I have somebody plus 11 very oh Syracuse plus 11 against Miami over 67 and a half. I have USC plus seven and a half at home against Notre Dame. I think they keep that game close Auburn plus 10 and a half at Bama tough one. Cal plus 13 and a half at SMU. I love the Cal kid crying how I bear for life after beating Stanford. He see you Cincinnati over 58 and a half and M plus six at home against Texas and you and LV minus 17 and a half at home against somebody that I can't read who in Nevada. You and LV minus 17 and a half at home against Nevada. Okay. I'm going to have my full card. Let us say follow bar still pick them. I'm going to play every single game. So I don't have it yet.
