All right, now back to the episode. Okay, Barstool Pick'em week nine. I am the worst gambler alive. I'm very cold. I am very cold. So I haven't, I feel like you've been saying it every single week. I've just turned cold. I got hot for one week. I've had one good week of the entire season and it's gotten, it like, it got hot and then it got even colder. And we were just saying before, Dave, you did, we were texting last night cause you had the Jalen Brown. That's just a brutal beat. Brutal. I had 11 to one. That thing was going between, it changed a lot. It was going between 10 to one, 13 to one, six legs Celtics opener. Every leg did five of the six legs were over to half that legitimately. Like Derek White, three, three threes over at half in early second quarter. Tatum, 25 points. He had it at halftime Celtics team total on over one 14, literally done by the end of the third Celtics minus six. They're up 40 up too much. And Jalen Brown, two threes. He had those in the first quarter. I needed him to score 24 points. He was pacing like dead on it. The entire, he was the only guy who didn't shoot well for the Celtics shot a hundred percent. And he was on it, on it, on it. He got within two, he missed two layups. He missed a wide open three, which by the way, you can miss threes, but he airball airball. Yeah. A wide open three right in front of me. And then they took them out because they're up 40. So would have been 110 grand. And then, and so I had it too. I wrote it with you. And, uh, and then Mr. Ice has lost every pick. I don't even know if I can look at him. He's supposed to go to brewers cup. I may disinvite him. I don't, I don't know if I can look at him right now. I thought he, he said he lost six. I thought he's lost seven. I'm I've lost track, but it's not even Dave. He's done in the first period. It's it's the game starts. Yeah. Call him. The game starts and it is it. You are lucky to get one goal in the first 15 minutes. Lucky to maybe get one goal. I've been noticing the hockey scores have been over. Everywhere. And he, it's just every single time. It's like pickup. He knows he I'll say this. He feels it. Do you hang up? What's just happened? Yeah. He knows the pressure. Cause he, he doesn't respond to any of the texts. He just drops the pick in the text chain and then never said, Hey, uh, you're on pick them. I want this red bill. What, what, uh, what, what are we going to do about your picks? I'm two and six. Listen, you're all in five on Saturday. Oh, five. He didn't give it out. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, I, I didn't give out any of that. I'm not doing like ice picks. Yeah. I'm two and six. Listen, shit happens. Isn't it seven in a row? Yeah. I'm two and six. What do you want me? How many times do you want me to say it? I'm just asking. What is it? How are you going to change? I've written every one of them. That's $300,000 for me. I know. Thanks. There's nothing I can say. It's been a tough start. It's a, the league right now. They know about the ice people. They know, but there's a lot of overs to be had. Half the games went over. It's two and six, but it feels like two and 15. Half the games. I don't know about half. I was definitely more unders than overs last night to be had. Yeah. There's games to be had for sure. You see these high scoring games and then you think, yeah, every game went over, but you got to do a little bit more research than that. He's got a rattle off. What is he? Two and six. He's saying, I think he's two and seven. I'm looking right now. He's got a rattle off two in a row. You just got to get two in a row. There was an eight to five game. There was a seven to two game. There was a six to two game. I don't even know if he can hear because they're going. No, seven to a lot of games. All right. I hope we can make it a breeders cup. I think I'm going to fly to Detroit tomorrow to go to the game. It's got to be in person. It's not a bad idea. That's not a bad, not a bad move. I guess you just start pushing it in person. Imagine he starts going to his games. Yeah. Why in the country? Why crisscross the country? He just showed, he shows up. Yeah. He's like the, uh, uncle in, in the godfather showing up at the back of the courthouse. He's just staring at the refs from like the rafters, like sting flying to his overs across the country for hockey. I'll say he wears it. Some people get picks and they're like, wait, he, he, he's not sleeping. Like he's, he's not a treadmill guy. That is a guy who's feeling it. Every time when he's on a cold streak, this is when he'll really get on a cold streak. He'll text me separately and he'll be like, what, like, what do I do? Like, like kind of just like reaching out to me and I'll just be like, I don't know. We got to figure this out, but he's yeah, he wears it. And then, so then last night you texted me, Dave, after we knew that was a loser and you're like, I'm going to take the last two overs in hockey. I did it too. We, I went to sleep just mad. I was like, I'm going to lose both. We ended up winning one, but it's just, everything's bad. It's a huge win. And that's where you're at, where you split and I go, what a win. Yeah. Lose the juice. Yeah. I needed that parlay of the Celtics just to lose when all, if I, if I didn't, it was almost the only way, only particular thing you could have lost. Like all their other players at a million points, a million threes. Uh, Tatum is on the F you fucking Steve Kerr, Olympic comrade curve. Fuck you tour. So kind of crazy that what you, he couldn't figure out a way to get Jason Tatum like two minutes. Yeah. That was one of the best basketball games ever played by human last night. Yeah. He was, yeah, that's, I don't know. Uh, he, he, he, Steve Kerr might have started the Celtics like easy path to a repeat. Yeah. Did you see, I saw the text that, um, Jalen Brown sent, no sent Tatum when Tatum got benched. He goes, I'm mad for you during the Olympics. Oh, it's a good teammate. That's a good teammate. Also, he was left off. So yeah, the Celtics have like a lot of chips on their shoulder. Yeah. They just handed him a chip. Uh, Rico is doing, he's, he's in the lead. Uh, he's going okay. Bad week last week, 50.6. Uh, Ebo's kind of running away with, uh, the Bob Diaco standings though. He's six and two. Um, Rico, how, Oh, I want, I know what I want to say before we talk about some more college football. I tweeted this, uh, we taped early. PMT on Tuesday because Hank was going to banner night. So I didn't fully understand. Like I saw that like Bronnie was going to get in. I didn't. fully understand it we put out a bounty if you dunk on brownie and lebron james in a game we'll come to your house and interview you so if anyone can do that um just want to throw that out there on pmt but i don't understand how everyone's freaking out about how this is the coolest thing ever it was a photo shoot so over it it's it was a photo shoot and it goes so over it he's so over it's not it happened eight hours ago but but i appreciate because i agree with you rico i'm so over it too well it's just all lebron it's non-stop it's lebron's it's it's a photo shoot it's not something special it's a photo shoot and if you want to say like i have no problem with lebron doing it because he has the power to do it if you have that nepotism is everywhere in the world if you have the power to be able to put your son in a spot or your daughter in a spot like every parent would do that so it's not that i have a problem with lebron i just have a problem with how everyone's reacting to it like it's something that is so insane you and so improbable when it's it's not improbable at all it's lebron's son of course he's going to get a charity spot i would have a may listen i said this already and i i thought about breaking out a blog i'm gonna let it go if they lost yesterday maybe i would have um or just it sent it to skip bayless to talk about but if i was a laker fan and it's like you think your team's good and you're just wasting a roster spot that would bother me like that would bother me if you're if you're a guy away or whatever and then you waste a draft pick and who knows like yeah not there's end of the bench guys that don't matter on every nba team but they still could have had a different draft pick you never know i don't know to me that would be the bigger thing as a laker fan like the the the fruity pebbles commercial is ridiculous yeah the nike fruity pebbles just absolutely ridiculous the whole thing is ridiculous so but i i don't know what you do if you brought if i was brawny i'd be mad want to be in that situation i would not enjoy being in that situation correct and it goes back remember let's not forget when lebron was like uh he said he regretted naming him yes brawny because like i don't want the pressure of him and now he's putting him in this cauldron where he can't win the kid couldn't and by the way as much as i've trashed lebron brawny seems like a pretty like nice enough guy like i don't really have any issues with brawny but he couldn't play at usc yeah yeah he could not play at usc he here's where it would i would i agree with you 100 about the brawny thing like he i feel bad for him here's where i would almost like respect it is if brawny if he was like hey i'm not good enough to be on an nba roster if you want to say that the nepotism here gets me on a g league roster and i get a chance to earn it i would like go do it and if like brawny had been in a g league roster for three years riding the bus working his ass off it's clear he's never going to be in the nba lebron's about to retire they want to play one game together i'd be like that's actually a cool you know what i mean like brawny's trying his hardest to get there he's clearly got limitations but for one day he wants to get a spot and it's like two of them together but this was the first fucking game yeah it's crazy i don't know i mean he couldn't play at usc yeah no it and if and i want it on the record if lebron if brawny was a legitimately awesome player and got drafted lottery pick that would be one of the coolest moments ever that would be because that would be like that's nuts that lebron played long enough to see his son be a lottery pick otherwise it's just fabricated photo shoot yeah agreed okay all right let's

i'm a caitlin clark fan i i there's too much other stuff going on i will say and this isn't good i thought you were gonna pound all over this i didn't see it caitlin clark i'm gonna research it there's uh caitlin clark would disavow what i'm about to say i probably would have watched some of the wmba finals and playoffs but i was not watching it out of spite like i didn't want to give them not that i have a box i didn't want to give them a box i didn't want to give them a viewship number i want to i want it to be such a landslide when caitlin's in it she would disavow that by the way that's not good behavior right uh but no i didn't see it the last time i saw angel she would she was had uh kelsey's ex oh yeah on her podcast you're in the league you're in the league and you're wearing two other teams like aren't you supposed to be mad you're not in the final he's supposed to drive you nuts a male was doing what angel reese was doing she would be getting crucified regardless of skin color regardless of anything she's a rookie in the league whose team sucked who asked out at the end of the season with an injury who won't shut about herself who ran their best player out of town the coach got fired and she started a podcast five seconds into the thing creating all this controversy showing up if imagine if your first round draft pick had the season she had the controversy she had got injured in a questionable injury asked out and then started a podcast gossiping about everything in the league as a rookie please yeah meanwhile caitlin's head down just fucking in the gym ready to go don't you don't hear a peep from her she cares about on the so i you got me wound up rico all right good job let's let's let's let's bring it back then how was billy joel that must have been fucking i blew it he blew it no he blew it i just saw it was on pace i got a problem i got a problem with her you know billy joel's gonna be there and you don't bring him up for a duet no i don't think you do i don't i don't think you make billy joel you can't make billy joel work first of all welcome to new york new york let's be honest let's be unbelievable i was probably this is gonna stun you i would say 90 10 recognition me over billy joel at that concert yeah yeah most yeah most yeah most of that crowd is not like knowing who billy joel is he just looks like an old guy no i get that and it's young it's a very young like i'm ingrained with the swifties so they know who i am so they may not i would have loved it like i said that uh uh came out it's like you know gun ahead if you're i love taylor swift and a lot of it's like personal i've even said the parents you tell me i'm just listening to music i'm going billy like billy joel i love so i actually didn't recognize him at first it looked like he lost a lot of weight i guess i wouldn't yeah i mean i haven't seen a picture like he sat next to me and i originally was just like hey i'm dave and then i look i'm like that's fucking billy joel and i asked i have to make sure i'm like hey buffy that's billy joel right because buffy the vampire slayer was to my left did you say buffy oh sarah michelle geller yeah sarah michelle geller did you say buffy no i said sarah but she was she's a huge swifty and people are like oh she's a huge swifty and people didn't know her either very few like him that's like the time that uh when we remember we went to the mcgregor mayweather fight dave and and pft and i had seats different than you you went with actually rapaport and uh we pft i was sitting up and we sat next to the guy uh barry whatever barry pepper and we sat next to the actor and we just the whole time we're like dude you were the sniper from saving private ryan he's like i have a real name we're just yeah but i mean buffy's i you should have said buffy i wish you had said buffy hey buffy billy was wearing like uh uh billy was wearing a a taylor like t-shirt he he he was with his i i guess i think they're his grandkids um so yeah iconic yeah i mean he is but i i don't think i don't think you can ask rico i don't think you can ask someone to do that i know i just want them to do a fucking duet like i just think they're both iconic they're both really really i think it's the other way i think you got taylor swift has to go at billy joel's show because then they play a billy joel song and everyone's gonna be like holy shit that was awesome but if they They play a Billy Joel song at Taylor Swift's concert. Everyone's like, what is this? Yeah, the parents would know, but there's a lot of young, young. I mean, like, that's what I said to him. Like, I want mine a quick scenes from an Italian restaurant. It didn't really land, but. That's a good try, though. I mean, it's, you know, that's right out of my playbook. Because he wasn't, he wasn't getting recognized. So I'm like, hey, I'm a huge fan. I want my scenes for an Italian restaurant. Just like, I didn't talk to him the rest of the night. And there weren't many people in the VIP area. And you knew, you knew deep down you blew it. Yeah, you know when something doesn't land. You just know it didn't land. Okay, what else is going on? We have. Mets are out. Mets are out. Yeah. So now, Rico, here's a question. Do you go full blown after the Yankees? Like, we were saying that some of you guys should stay. Stick around for some streams and go after Tommy and stuff. I don't know. Well, you're just saying that because you don't want to go on a stream. No, that's not true. Well, 100%. Yes, because you should go. That's the answer. Yeah, I'm sure like meet Phil will be there. And Frank will probably be there. Like, you don't want to go. But yes, Yankee Mets fans should harass Yankee fans. It will make the stream better. All right. Like you, you, that was just you not wanting to do it. Let's clear. That's not. That's not true. Yeah. Well, then what was your rationale? Why the Mets? Because like, it's tough. I do think they're going to win. Like, we're going to be in a tough spot. I got to watch them win. That's the tough spot. What? That's not. It sucks. That's not the answer, though. All right. Well, all right. I mean, they're they're not even favorites. So you can't even. I would understand if the Yankees were like minus 5000. He doesn't want. He does not want to go. It's that's it. But I think that there should be Mets representation. I'm sure meet Phil will be. Yeah. And I'm sure Frank can go there. And it's like, that's you got to. If you're a if you're a true Mets fan and you hate the Yankees like all Mets fans, I think hate the Yankees. They have to go there and bother me. We made caravans do it when he was here. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. He remember he was. He did the whole speech after the Astros beat the Red Sox or beat the Yankees. Yep. He was there. We overlap. Game three overlaps with Monday Night Football. So we'll be there for that. Oh, yeah. Jerry's going to Monday Night Football. He's got Russie. He's got. He's sussy for Russie. Yeah.

My team has a big one on on Saturday night, which I'm very excited about. Feels like we can finally be back a little bit. I also was never been more wrong about anything than I was Texas. That proved me. I need to just. I need to just remind myself over and over. You talk me off that one. I. You actually. I apologize. Really? I. We're sitting in the. No, this is you. No, we're sitting in the bus. I know it's you. Saturday morning. Yes. We're in the bus at Indiana. Game day. ESPN is following us there this week. We were there last week. Beautiful campus. Beautiful day. And I'm like, I'm not gambling. I don't like the board. I'm cold. I'm not. I'm just going to sit today out. Dan, all of a sudden, it's like you're making me nervous. Not that. No, I said no, because you're making me nervous. You were going back. You're like, I don't think I'm going to do it. I don't think I'm going to. I think I'm going to sit it out. I think. And then you're like, but maybe I should do it. And I was like, you're you're giving me anxiety. I'm sitting here with a loaded gun at like 20 minutes before kickoff. Just decide one way or the other. I can't do this. It was bad energy. So. You're you're like, you're giving me anxiety. You're giving me anxiety by not betting. So I'm like, fine, I'll fucking bet one in nine. I said I didn't like the board. I said it. I'm like, I hate this board. There's nothing. I don't like anything. Oh, you give me anxiety. Not betting. Fine. I'll bet. You were giving. And I went. I think I went two and seven. The I landed back in Chicago and I just had a text from Dave's and saying all losers knew it. And I looked and it was like we were maybe five minutes into. Every game. But he was right. I, I got, I was at one point, some of this, my early slate, I was beating myself. I think 28, 21, meaning all my teams had scored 28 points, but I had given up 21. Like I had given up 21 defensive touchdowns, special teams point. You that's not good. I'm not counting what the other team was scoring against me. My points in five games. I had scored four touchdowns. I had scored four touchdowns and I had, I had the, my offense had scored four and they'd been on the field for three. I'm down combined a score of 111 to 31 smoked, smoked like, I mean, but I also, as bad as I was on the Texas game, I did sniff out that Indiana game perfectly. I was on the wrong side of that. I, I did, I did say, I was like, I, the more I think. About this, it makes no sense. They just want you to take, everyone's being like Nebraska. Indiana's played nobody, Nebraska, Nebraska, uh, six and a half. And that was no doubter. But yeah, Texas, Georgia is just so simple at this point. It's just, if they're playing any good team, not name Alabama, just take Georgia. If they play Alabama or a bad team, I said last week. Yeah, I know. I'm an idiot. All right, let's do, let's do the games. Uh, our, our cards are sponsored by draft Kings. Plus this week draft. Kings is a college football parlay profit boost.

First game I have listed here, uh, Boise state UNLV. This is going to be an awesome game. This is a Friday night game. Uh, this is going to essentially, they could play again, obviously for in the mountain West championship, but this will be the winner of this game. We'll have a inside track into being in the college football playoff. Uh, do you have any futures on this game on these guys? Rico, did you do mountain West? No, I didn't do any mountain West. You didn't do any mountain West. Usually got one like stashed away. All right. I don't have one. You had all these plus three over under 65. Uh, Rico, go ahead. I like Boise. I know it's away from home. It's different, but, uh, I like gently running around. I like Boise here. I think Boise makes the playoff. I think they run through it. Boise minus the three and a half. I agree with you in this one, by the way. I like Boise. I like Boise as well. You know, he's been fun, but I think they get there. You and LV in the over. You do, Dave. I kind of like, I think I might add the over. I also, I also, I'm just losing every game that I don't even know if it matters. I went on to on Tuesday night. It was two of the worst games I've ever watched in my life. My late bailout special last week was Utah at home against TCU. Same. It was the worst. It was the worst. The worst. It was the worst. They got, they were, they, at one point they were down like seven, but they should have been down 700. They were helping out gain like 300 yards to 10. I, I mean, it was you, you and I were not together anymore because you were down in Miami. We must've just had the same thought being like, Oh, Utah at night at home. Yeah. Thank God. Thank God they put this here for us. They left this here for us so that we can survive. Got dominated. I woke up. It was the biggest blowout of a 13, seven game ever. I woke up at three in the morning. You know, like when you, when you're getting, when you're deep in the gambling, you're, you're, you wake up in the middle of the night, check your scores. And I just rolled over, saw it. It was like Homer. It was like Homer Simpson in the bushes. Just went right back to bed. Like, fuck this. The first half stats. If I could pull them up, they were absolutely surreal. Uh, okay. Next game. Notre Dame, Navy, Navy, uh, Notre Dame one. I want to make sure I have all, I wrote down all the lines last night, but some of them might've made. All right. So Navy's plus 13 over under is 52 Navy undefeated. Uh, incredible. No doubter. The last week, Dave, you, you had that. Uh, it's the only game I won. I'll start. I have, uh, I'm gonna take the over 52. I know Notre Dame's defense is good. Navy's defense is not good. Uh, Navy, I think can still score on Notre Dame. I know they're gonna try to limit possessions but 52 feels a little low just for how Navy's been playing how these games have been going rico what do you got in this game i like the over as well i do think navy's gonna score i think it's gonna be closer um but notre dame every time i think navy's gonna stay close with notre dame notre dame flexes on them and i look like an idiot so i'm staying away from the spread uh but i'm gonna take the over dave gonna take navy and the over uh i yeah i i like the over more than navy because i actually kind of agree with what rico said there that every time you think navy is gonna give them a game is when they don't when you don't expect the game is when you get it but they're having a great season i'd love to see it yeah it's gonna be a life yeah we were trying to college game day but it's hard there when when you have to like get the permission of the stadiums and navy and i guess navy doesn't it's harder harder to get approval from than army army's good navy's like you guys can't swear on your show it's like yeah what sailors don't you swear like what are we talking about here it's literally like isn't that an expression yeah yeah you guys got a mouth like a sailor yeah you guys are fighting wars yeah it's like but we can't curse during a college football show weird uh all right next up i had illinois oregon oregon's minus 21 over under 54 and a half uh dave your michigan wolverines lost uh soundly to illinois ending the season this i hated those uniforms i awful i did i i thought they looked so bad online when i saw him like two days before and then for some reason when i saw him on the field i kind of liked him i don't know i kind of liked him just leather helmets like he didn't kind of work for me i don't know well yeah michigan i mean it's he's just can't win without a quarterback uh throws out the whole rhythm of the game i'll take oregon that's football 101 right there it does yeah it does it affects every every aspect of the game so uh i'm gonna take oregon here i don't love the game yeah yeah they stink we gotta i'm working the phone lines yeah i got i got oregon minus 21 as well uh i don't i i think illinois illinois brett brett be almost a good coach i always thought he was a good coach he's got them playing to their peak right now i don't think they're uh the same as oregon though like and i think michigan what we're finding out is michigan is a good coach michigan is is bad and like you're you kind of do that where like oh we can now connect the dots like texas yeah beat michigan michigan is bad that whole thing is working out now where uh okay so rico what do you got i'll take the under i think oregon's gonna beat them but they're gonna beat them uh soundly i don't think illinois is gonna score i like the under okay um which game would you guys rather do for the fourth game missouri alabama or texas vanderbilt i think missouri alabama oh okay no dude to vanderbilt texas make a decision rico do dave's do texas vanderbilt all right texas vanderbilt was never been so wrong about anything than i was about texas last week they got absolutely big boy welcome to the sec uh never seen anything like that too the the water bottles on the field i if you guys do you guys remember anything like that no not nothing like that they basically turned the coal over it was crazy it was crazy uh so texas is 18 and a half point favors against vanderbilt i i think i'll be i think i'll be an idiot and take vanderbilt plus 18 and a half what do you have dave vanderbilt has really been the team that put me on i was doing okay until vanderbilt decided that they were gonna fuck the whole thing up alabama and kentucky two weeks in a row where it just got me off my game like off everything i do stay consistent don't lie bet all of it and i've been against them each time now i'm on them now i'm on them that generally doesn't but i like them they've made believers out of me they also can go to the playoff they're still alive hmm which is you know it's crazy to say but like i mean they have to win out but and they have a tough schedule but that's kind of cool that vanderbilt yeah like that's kind of cool that these teams it's kind of like wisconsin playing penn state like yeah it the chances of wisconsin going to the playoff are probably less than a half a percent but there's still a chance where there wouldn't have been one in years past so that's cool for vanderbilt i'm gonna take vanderbilt as well what do you got rico i like the over i think both teams scored more i like the over okay um that was also very weird the dave you didn't watch the games you were at taylor swift i thought that was one of the weirdest panic moves by sark uh putting in arch that made me nervous about the rest of this texas season that felt that felt like a great dave they put in quinn ewers was playing terrible they put in arch for like two drives and then put quinn ewers back in and it was just like what is going on here so it was a very strange move yeah it's a it was a panic move where i don't really understand both of them look like they were seeing ghosts um all right last game uh texas a&m lsu uh let me get the updated line two and a half texas a&m's minus two and a half over under 53 and a half rico texas a&m at home i hate this game but texas a&m at home i agree i'll take the team out at home i agree dave lsu uh texas a&m i like texas a&m so we're all on texas a&m i was against arkansas i took them last week against lsu wrong on that i just i mean anything i took except navy basically i was wrong season is bad it's tough i'm having a bad time i'm not having fun nothing has gone my way uh rico do you want to do your card yeah sure very small how small four games well you do have a lead so no i mean i'm finding what i like here comes dean smith you have to hit him you have to hit him regardless another fullback dive up the middle i've been giving out like five to seven every week anyway so it's not crazy unc virginia over 59 and a half memphis the kid i'm sure you know because you know everybody when i was at the indiana so i went to the hoop hysteria for a little bit yeah it was some fucking crazy rider kid who's like a manager there i'm sure you know who he is yeah we got they took probably took care of us it's probably the same kid who took care of us when we went a couple years ago like he's has he said he is like rider in his twitter handle those are the guys oh wait actually i have something for you rico i forgot to bring this up this i don't know why that triggered because you you said you you saw a uh a rider at in indiana i talked to a rider who formerly had a connect who was formerly on staff with with a college football or college basketball coach and uh that college basketball coach is no longer coaching and apparently rico just doesn't respond to this guy anymore because he doesn't have any power kind of messed up grasso no no it's not a coach it's a coach's right hand man oh and so the coaches and you you know this is a coach's right hand man and so the coaches and you you know this is a this guy too dave and he reached he hit me up for the first time in forever and was like hey what's up i was like hey man how's everything going haven't heard from you a while and uh and he said he he said he wanted to talk about something and i was like sure anytime he said uh hit hit rico but trying to talk to him is like trying to find bin laden because this guy has no he has he's not he's not on staff anywhere so rico's literally just throwing him in the trash if this is the same if this is the same guy i texted him last night he texted me i immediately responded to him which which where is he from i'm not telling i'm not gonna i'm not gonna dox him i gotta know who i gotta know my accounts if i'm if i'm not fulfilling an account i gotta know what if an account is no longer a college if he's no longer on a staff does the account die right away is it just gone no because that's a very that's a sad state of affairs that you're only using like the minute they're not on a staff you're like fucking lose my number pal no i don't say that i don't say that i have no idea who we're talking about you can we just blur you said you said i know who this yeah it's it's it's it i'll say it and then we can bleep it it's it's right hand man yes no he fucking texted me last night and i immediately responded well he texted me yesterday afternoon and said trying to find you is like uh trying to find bin laden that's what he takes a shot at me yo let me know when you get a second i want to run something by you okay what was the text before that uh i responded as well june 6th he reached out to me i responded back he said trying to find you he's like trying to find i will say that guy that guy sometimes will over communicate yeah but i still will i'll respond to someone when they text me i responded as well yeah i can't throw stones at glass houses i'm not the greatest text responder but you're you're equal opportunity that's true you will not respond to so like you could not respond to uh an assistant assistant coach who just got fired and you could also not respond to coach cal like you'll just not Both where I'm just asking the question if a guy. doesn't have a job in college division one college basketball anymore do we keep that account warm or do we throw him in the trash because he can no longer do anything for you we keep it warm we obviously keep it warm that's a good human thing yes because it's bad if you're just keeping relationships alive just when you can use them for something I don't use them for something these people are friends just answer you use them for everything how could you say you don't use them for something you do use you don't ask for clothes I do have a big collection of sweatsuits is that just your whole house is just sweatsuits now sweatsuits now yeah a lot I like that all right so go back to your game all right UNC Virginia over 59 and a half Memphis Charlotte over 57 BYU this line actually flipped BYU plus one and a half and I'll save my my mortal okay I know your moral you want me to say it out loud no we're gonna have Ebo read a message from a writer or somebody that just said something so yeah most obvious mortal of all time and I actually I kind of don't love it this year but uh I love it this year okay you love it every year every single year every single year all right Dave all right Syracuse plus six against Pittsburgh I think that game is close BC at home against Louisville Louisville coming off a tough loss I think BC keeps that game close can potentially win it I already gave out over in Boise UNLV and UNLV plus the points USC minus 14 at home against Rutgers Rutgers is horrible Ohio State minus 25 at home against Nebraska Nebraska is horrible I laughed at watching that edit on Boston with Will trying to like rationalize losing 56 to 7 I mean he's out of answers it's the same thing recycling but it still is like his line of like the answers are in the room like it's just crazy he's like I know this is gonna sound crazy but the tape does not look like 56 to 7 and he's like serious it's great 56 to 7 Navy plus 12 I don't love it but I always like rooting for the service academies especially as Notre Dame 52 and a half over Mississippi State at home plus six and a half against Arkansas I hate Arkansas now I think UCF BYU yes BYU escaped last week you know BYJU still doing it out there but I think UCF at home minus one and a half hands them their first loss Bama minus 14 at home against Missouri Bama not great Missouri real bad in my mind Texas Tech plus six and a half on the road TCU close game Vandy plus 18 and a half at home against Texas there it is that's the I do like the card this week I didn't like it last week I like it this week okay back I have UCF as well Dave minus one and a half I'm going to add more to my card I also am taking I also had Michigan State plus three and a half against Michigan I think that one might be that might be bad for you Dave I don't know could be I listen we won the national championship last year we're bad this year I give grace I'm a grace guy if you win me national championship I'm not going to jump down your throat the next year we're going to get things figured out and my season now is just making sure Ohio State doesn't win the whole thing so they can't try to trip back even though it's not apples to apples yeah yeah like here's what where I want to say this about Ohio State and Ohio Tate is one of the great morons who doesn't get this what I'm going to say if Ohio State beats Michigan this year which I think they probably will I mean I guess crazier things have happened it's not the same when one team beats another team and the other team is down like we're down that that that doesn't count the same when you're both up and undefeated yeah they're in which has been the case the three years we beaten them so we stink this year like okay you beat a stinky Michigan team you don't get cookies for that it doesn't even count yeah all the chips all the chips are not in the middle this year no it's like all right we're bad so big deal you beat a bad Michigan when we're good you can't beat us because you're cowards you're Ohio State you're embarrassed almost weirdly better if Ohio State lost to us this year oh this is oh yeah because it's like it's only when the lights are on and the chips are in the middle is when they suck they're the big team who can beat us when we stink yeah beat us when we're good I I yeah I think I think most Ohio State fans would agree that they should probably try to lose to Michigan it would be at least they're not cowards that's a spin zone that I didn't see coming but there it is oh there's some truth to that what wait what's the truth they're a bully and and and when you punch a bully in the face they cry and you say we're not we don't have that we're like Nate can't stand up to fucking in I don't know like Brandon Walker in a fight they're the size difference but you know you put someone Brandon Walker's size he cries he can devil and pushes him and he cries so that's bright lights they crumble we can't put any pressure on this year so if they lost to us this year it wouldn't be like oh no we don't we're not big game cowards we just aren't a great program better than being a coward yeah I see it what a spin even Dave you can see the smirk he's like I didn't even think my brain had that one Ohio tape bet me my salary on Michigan State for I mean Michigan versus Ohio State this year it's like well let's see what we got like I'm not I'm no dummy like I knew we potentially had some issues come into this season our entire team went to the NFL and the coach yeah bet me my salary on the worst Michigan team since pre COVID no all right I'll wait till we regroup and I'm working on it I'm working on I'm working on all right let's do our mortals Hank is on the ride back from the airport because he was at banner night last night his is Washington plus six and a half I'll do mine as well I'm out of the mortal race I'm in last place so I'll just go with the heart and I'm going to take Wisconsin plus six and a half this is the biggest game I'll be rooting for you it's the biggest game of Luke fickle era I know it's only been a year and a half but this season couldn't have started worse and we're now at a point where everything's kind of come back to Badger football the last three weeks they've absolutely I know they played Purdue Rutgers Northwestern not good teams but they have punished those teams in old school Badger football fashion they're doing the right things they've got it feels like the vibes are back a little bit camp Randall at night is a tough place to play when you play 11 o'clock not so much because everyone takes forever to get the students in there at night time it's going to be rocking and Penn State has Ohio State next week which they know that you know they have it circled every single week I'll take Wisconsin plus six and a half Zupi I'm going Boise minus the three okay Jack I'm going to go Indiana minus six and a half you know Rourke is out did not Wisconsin plus six and a half there we go fuck out of Penn State by the way Rico you're welcome for Arizona State thank you very much yes thank you very much Ebo Utah Houston under 37 wow the over under 37 I believe Zach Wilson's brother is the starting quarterback this week yeah he's been played he's played a couple weeks yeah I don't think you can really move the ball no Utah under 37 Dave look up I just want to do one quick research I can't find it no give me a second here yeah I'm going to go Mississippi State I think they're playing a little bit better at home against Arkansas plus six and a half I think they win that game I like that Arkansas complete no show in a game that they should have spot wise should have it was the perfect perfect spot they're coming off a buy LSU is coming off an incredible night game against Ole Miss how do you come out like that Rico Zupi do you have the message pulled up yeah I got it all right read it I was sent I think probably all of us got sent this but it says from someone who has a quote from Rico in his bio I just need someone anyone to read this get it to Dan Dave or even smack he and set the trap and wait Rico will all caps mortal Kansas State against Kansas this week because he's a one trick pony he's going to talk about how bad Kansas is and how K State dominates Kansas and will bring up a host of other lazy arguments he then went on to say how Kansas plus 10 is the play but Rico okay K State minus 10 when he cleaned out his office he gave it to climbing and said this is how you beat Kansas he's done it every year but one they won last year but they didn't cover I still think they're going to roll Avery Johnson's playing well they're running the ball well K Kansas is down K State at home Kansas State at home minus the 10 I love it so why did you have that Why did you have Zuby read that? It was funny. I mean, he was making fun of me. You can laugh at yourself. Right, but that's growth. But that's also like that was supposed to be the moment where you're like, it's Kansas this year. No, it's not Kansas this year. It's never going to be Kansas. So you just had a guy. Yeah, that is growth. That's growth. The guy was like, you're so predictable. And then you're like, you know what, pal? You're right. You're right. Yeah, exactly. You want predictable. I'll give you predictable. Shout out to haters. They called this one correctly. Yes. That is growth. Rico, I mean, you've been a delight to be around this year. Thank you. Yeah. Maybe now is a good time. It's usually a bad time. I usually put my foot in my mouth. But, Dave, Cyber Monday, dinner? He might not even be in New York. I think he's not. He won't be? I don't know. Okay. Yeah, no commit there. All right. Yeah, what about. Even when we do Cyber Monday, doesn't it end kind of late? Yeah, it's like a whole thing. Okay. What? I think what he was really asking, Dave, is what is the contract? I know. I thought. Just a dinner. We're just asking for a dinner. Right. No business. Two birds. Two birds. Two birds, one stone, Dan. What's the. Oh, the dinner and the contract. Two birds, one stone. Okay. Why don't you just do one bird, one stone, and just call him and say, hey, do I have a new contract? Oh, yeah. He knows. All right. I got to go do this thing. All right. It's a little early for that. No, it's not. It's getting there. You know, the autumn wind. Do you want me to call you? I'm choking. I think you should call him. You should give him a call. Austin, do you have a pick? Austin. Do you have a pick, Austin? Do you want me to call him? Ask him if he wants me to call him. Jesus Christ. It's funny.
