We'll have a big slate for week one next week. Dave, how you doing? How's everything going? You know what, I'm looking at it's tough. I'm looking at the Pat Hills standings, which I won. Yeah, you did. So you have two, I think I think you have two Pat Hills and I do too as well. And then the Diaco standings, you could argue I'd rather be 10 and 7 than 96. Would you rather be 10 and 7 than 96? Well, technically no, right? I don't know. I mean, he's got to go. If he goes 50%, he ends up the same thing. I 50% so win in this business a lot of times. 10 would you rather be 10 and 7 or 9 and 6? This is too early for me to. I mean, you would lose less money going 9 and 6, but yeah, I guess you'd rather have more action. What? Yeah, because he's one less game of the juice. Yeah, one less game of the juice is why he's technically ahead. Yeah, that's tough. That's very tough. Yeah, almost swept it. Yeah, it's soupy. Yeah, I don't think we've ever had a sweep. No, I don't think so either. Dave, Rico didn't sleep last night. We're a campar stool. He didn't sleep. It's a great set. Yeah, it's a great set. It's I don't know if we'll be able to get you to camp bar stool next year, but it has been very fun. But yeah, Rico's he didn't sleep. It's a little nervous since like five in the morning, just I came into the mess hall behind us. And he was just kind of sitting in the corner just staring off. Why? What about what? Just nervous energy, you know, being back, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, but this is this is not like, I mean, I know we had this. There's not this is like a preseason game. I mean, there's only four games. Right. This isn't even a real week. Right. Right. And I'm I don't know everyone else in the room. I'm a rider this year. Until he proves me otherwise, I am not. I will never ride again. I like Rico, but I'm never going to be a rider. Yeah, well, that's not like a shot at URICO, but that's not like you you did things that you can't come back from. Fair. If Khan's can forgive him, how come you can? That's true. Khan's wife take care, forgive him. Tasha, do we bring it? Shall we bring up Hank right now then? If he's going to. Yeah, we should we should bring up right rider number one over here. Yeah, rider number one who's going to try to stir the pot and get me and Dave being like trying to get me and Dave to feel bad. Do you have it? You want me to? Oh, God. You can do it. Okay. I haven't. I haven't. So on a name show. It was not bullshit. It was so funny, Dave, because you're sitting eating breakfast. Me, Hank and Rico and Hank was just sitting there the whole time being like, they got nothing on you. They got nothing on you and I go, yeah, I got nothing on Rico. I don't think Dave does either. Just being like, yeah, we got something on this guy. He got something on him. So, uh, what? You're ever. I don't know where to sit on. I don't even know where to sit on. So on name show last week, two weeks ago, I hate to have to say this part of the quote when we say it. Dave said, healthy debates is the worst rated show times longevity that we've ever had at bar stool. Which is a fact and that wasn't meant as a hate tweet. That's just factual. It's factual. I don't remember why it came up, but it was factual. Yeah, um, that tweet was liked by two, uh, blue check marks Eric Nathan and Hank Lockwood. Wow, that was non intentional. Oh, my god. All right. What does that mean? That was not intentional. It just just really wasn't trying to, uh, I don't know. I mean, I must have liked it, but I didn't know that I did. Had a content, maybe puts on that hat, be like, yeah, what are we doing this show for? Hmm. It's tough, Hank. That's brutal because I saw, I saw the comments. Dave and well, listen, hey, pick them listeners. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Football has a play for just about everything. You can go deep, keep it on the ground, or drop something nobody sees coming. And whether you want to run a flea flicker or the push push, you need a plan to fit your unique situation. That's why State Farm takes the time to get to know you so they can help personalize coverage for your life and budget. Now, that's a solid game plan, like a good neighbor. State Farm is there. Numbers are hard to argue against. Numbers never lie, Texas. I was, I was hoping that we were, you know, kind of climbing back out of the hole and healthy to paper. Yeah, Hank, he's been, Hank has been sucking off Rico nonstop, and like, you know, Dave and Dan are just so mean. And then he just nice Rico right in the back and I, I don't know what you did, but I was saying like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It was a funny clip because Kirk did say it's a critical darling. That was, that was the part you were, that's the part you were like. You like the bad headline. Oh, you were like, oh, you're just liking the Kirk part? That's crazy. That's an insane spin so funny tweet. That's an insane, and by the way, a total contradiction is what you just said by doing it by accident and not just saying it wasn't. Well, no, I went back to look. I'm like, there's no way I would like a tweet that's just a just said. It's also Dave, you know, Dave's known for being facetious. No, but he was being serious there and you liked it. So, which one isn't Hank? Is it an accident or was it, oh, it's not on reading the tweet. It's a critical darling Kirkman, like, is funny. And Kirk has never been facetious in his life. Or sarcastic. No, but not bad. Oh, okay. Did you like that part? I'm going to unlike it. I think the damage has already been done. I don't know what you did, but like- You're right, Rico, you're just doing your hands. I'm good, it's them good, I'm good. So, yeah, I guess, what do you do to fix it? What's your, I'm not in the business of wallowing or crying anymore? No, no, I mean, that's like one of those things. I don't really have an answer. It's like, hey, you know, to your pitcher, you're throwing 87 with no movement down the middle wanting to ramp it up to 101. The guy can't. The videos outside of the office have done way better. So, let's do more of those. So, and just scrap the calls? I don't know, I think- And make it a video series. I mean, the show is a loser, right? I wouldn't say that, but you're the boss, so you say it. So, yeah, I guess. Well, I'm asking you on like, we've had these- It is. We've kind of hit a stalemate, yeah. What do you debate every day? Because I've, for my perspective, and I've been hands off, so, but I'm trying to help- I will try to help my kid, but like, that holiday one, the Dave mentioned, I actually had mentioned that before, Dave saw it. Like, we were in like, what, what was it, May? What was that one? It was May, and there was- The healthy debate was, what's the best holiday? It's a couple of headlines, and then it's mostly calls. You get some out of the left field calls. Yeah, I don't know. Thanksgiving? I think so. No, I think it was like- I feel like you do the- It's the fourth of July. A good summer holiday. Yeah, and I feel like something- It's something, proposter. The show, I don't know. I don't have an answer. I was obviously hoped it would work. I'm not trying to be a dick. What I said on that, and this is not that show. It's the longest running, lowest rated show we've ever had. At this point- It's been running for less than a year. Still less than a year. I can't think of any show that's had as many episodes as tragic numbers. I don't mean it mean. It's just at some point- You got it, you got it, all right. Like, how long would you do it at this level? Yeah, I think we should transition to the out-of-office stuff and make it a video series. I like that. Because the stuff with- You could look at the stuff with Rome, the stuff when we did the- Wardrobe with Large. We sat down with Nate. There's different- You get people out of their element. Fill the food stuff with Clem. Yeah, that did actually- They're pretty good numbers. And Large? Yeah. The stuff out of it.
the office has been way better, so. - So then why don't you just do that? - Yeah, I mean, I feel it's a lot of time. I don't know, it just, yeah, I, that's one of the things when you ask what to do. I don't know, I don't have those answers. I don't know what makes the show work all the time or what it does and I thought it has something beginning, but clearly it stinks. And you have good people, like I like your crew, but, you know, the people, that's the great thing, the people will always tell you and they're telling you it sucks. - And Hank also is telling you it sucks. - Yes, liking that tweet, yeah. - And that's a lot on you. I don't know what else I said. I think you're doing a good job right now, Rico, of not taking it like Uber person, like I'm personally attacking you because the truth is, most other people, I've been like, what are you guys still doing the show for? But I like your crew and it gives you guys something to do in that office and bang around and have some fun in front of nobody. - That's bang around the rumpus room. The, I'll say, it's Rico, you have changed in the fact that if this conversation were having three years ago, you would have been, you would have angrily got on the phone the after, and been like, Dave just hates college basketball. It doesn't want to say anything. - Yeah, no, you can't do that anymore, you can't do that. Shout out HIPAA. - Uh, was that, was that, was that, you signed that? - Yeah. - Let's catch. - Let's catch. - Oh, do we have any other, I show ideas? Like, did he could do, or, like, are there any other show ideas? - You know, he, he may just be a sidekick. And, and I don't mean that as like a bad thing. Like, at one point, I was talking to serious, and I think then you knew this. They wanted me to do like a daily show. - Yeah. - It would have been a ton of money, but a lot of work. And I was thinking about it at one point. And when I'm like, who would be good? Rico would be good in that. Like, you made, but to be the alpha dog, it may just not, not everybody, but not everybody has the other thing either. Not everybody has crazy, yeah. - Right. - Can, can be that, like, there's value and everything, but there's something, I don't have the answers. Yeah. - I mean, look at color daddy. She just got, what, $100,000,000, like 97% of our office, like, what are they doing? I, who knows, it, people, I, we're good at bar stool. I think in that we let people come up with their own ideas, do their own concepts, you guys, PMC, that's all you guys, that is nothing to do with my brain. But I, you don't know, you don't always know what hits. What, I thought, I thought it had a chance. - So did I. - Well, Hank, clearly didn't know. - What would you do different, Hank? Have you seen the out-of-off stuff? You comment on the one that grown. - Hank doesn't like the show, Rico. He literally showed you. - I do like the show. I like that. - He's social media. - Not a writer. - I don't know, I think you just gotta, you gotta grow on, grow on social. Embrace, embrace, embrace the youth. - So don't block people. - Right. - I did have a funny, I had a funny story. This is not a one for you, but it just made me chuckle. Mikey Betts texted. Mikey Betts texted Rico and Rico didn't have his number. So, and he thought it, Mike Betts thought he did. So Mike Betts said, you have any interest in joining my Fugazi Fantasy Football League this year. We're either gonna do 100 or 200 this year. Rico replied, die and then blocked him. (laughs) - I thought it was a fan. I didn't know he'd number one. - He thought it was his fan. - Why would you write that to a fan? - Don't they just get your number? I thought it would be violating laws. They were getting the number. - Just writing bet, die. - So the old Rico's not totally. - He's underneath, he's underneath. - Still like that, that is certifiable. Like that, do you wanna join a fan? Is he like, die? - Yeah, when I get spam texts, I just don't respond. - Yeah, ignore it. - Yeah, blocked. - Yeah. - All right. - Die. - Oh, he did block too. He said, die and then block. (laughs) - Then Janks, I don't reach out. He's like, I think you just yelled at Mikey Betts. - All right, so any new Jack, do you have anything for anyone in the crew? - No, I don't really have anything. - You and Rico are getting along these days? - I mean, he did text me, we're done like two weeks ago after the whole helicopter incident. - Yeah, and that was ridiculous. - But we're back, we're always back. Like Ronnie and fucking Sammy. - Has Rico pitched you any new content ideas for football season, Jared? - He did pitch me one. But I don't know if he has his co-partner, that's like agreed to it yet. I think he might be jumping the gun. - It seems like he's on board. - I think he has, I heard him talking about it. - What's the name of the show? - Now it's gonna be called House Call. Touchdown Scores, every week for the NFL. - And what do you do on the show? - Score touchdown? - Oh, give him out, yeah. - Who's your co-host? - Should be Jerry. - The new dog? - The new dog. - Does he know that? - She should know that, we've touched on it. He came up with the name House Call. - Does it feel weird having the old dog after saying like the new dog, you know, kind of having. - Hey, pick 'em listeners, we're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. - Football season is finally upon us, which means it's game on with Ryobi.

We were able to have discussions that were wild, but they weren't created out of the basis of hate and jealousy and delusion, like towards the, you know, the main clips, like the contract ear clips and Riko trying to leave the company and running everybody out. Those were the delusion hate ears, but the early years weren't like that. They were, they were, we go off the rails, but again, they weren't based on Riko's hatred towards me. - Right. - It would be more like funny clips, funny things that happened during the week or can we get watch, yeah, right, let's get back to that. - Okay. - I love to. - I haven't had one shot of you. - No. - The only person I got my eyes on in this entire room is Hank, he's a fucking snake in the grass. - That was a tough life. - That's a fact. - Did you see that before too? - No, I didn't see it. - It's gonna sad, it explains a lot of those calls yesterday, but. - What calls? Strike calls. - Oh, oh, oh. - You didn't hit the plate. It's supposed to be the plate and the thing. What, what did you think you were, you thought you were getting squeezed on a strike call that literally is hitting the plate? - You did hit the plate. - One time. All right, anything else? I mean, that's, listen, this week's zero, I know next week we're gonna have a big week for week one. We're also going to Saratoga Wall beat together on Saturday, so we should have some good stories from that. - That's gonna be fun, long day streaming, but we have a really good set right next to the paddock and we're just gonna be live all day. - We're staying live all day? - Yeah. - That's crazy. Okay, I love it. I love it. So, let's you. - Thank you. - I didn't realize we were gonna be live all day. - All day, well, there's a race every 25 hours. - Yeah, I know that. I just didn't know if we were going down for like, you know, 10 minutes every now and then. - No, because I mean, to be honest, we just sit in the booth, other people tune in, they tune out. - Yeah, there's five of us, so someone has to get up and leave or do whatever they do. - Yeah, we'll keep it moving all day. I mean, that's the best beauty of horse racing. It does feel like the fastest day every time, because it's just every 20 minutes, yeah. - I mean, I think it is worth addressing on the show since it is a central part. It's been a main theme for many years, but Rico and Cons White made up. - Oh! - That was a beautiful moment, right? - Yeah. - If it's gonna be talked about throughout the year, we should have talked about what happened this year. - She should have punched you in the face. - She had the right to. - She could also, there's like no way, like I don't know how this hug came about, but like she got thrust into a situation that she has, she probably didn't love. Like she had, that nobody would forgive you in that situation. - Yeah. - His dad put me in a headlock. - Good. Let me ask you a question, Hank. If, and Rico has made a lot of progress, but if tomorrow Dave was like, hey, Cons is out of bar stool, we don't like him anymore. Do you think Rico would be like, hey, we had our beef, but we're gonna stay on neutral terms, or do you think Rico would start harassing and DMing again? - Neutral terms. - Okay, so that's, I mean, that's a lie. - Peace times, peace trees have been extended. - You've never, Hank, have you ever said, have you ever apologized to someone and not really meant it? - No. - Oh, okay, no. - I mean, it was one of the great forced apologies ever. It was like, it was like Japan surrendering. (laughing) They got nuked. It was like, either you have no job, no life, no future, your kids are gonna starve to death or apologize to Cons. It was like, I guess when you put it that way, I kind of always liked Cons. - Yeah. - So, yeah, I mean, it's really where that apology was born from. It was, he apologized after he got exposed and was like, you can never work here again. - Right. - It's like, well, let me apologize to Cons. (laughing) - So, well-- - That made some progress though. - Yeah, well, it was nice to be at a hug. - I let some shit roll off. I'm not calling you harassing you all the time. - No, you're more in your cryptic Rico phase where I have, I get like, we get half conversations. But I've been. I've we've had no beef none in the off season so we're you handled you handled the the facts of Healthy big great. So I mean that's progress. You read the blog last night. Yeah, it was good blog The guy said get this guy said the guy said he can read he can read mines He was quoted in the advance today saying he can read minds of the kids He's just I think the lights went out on his party like a long time ago You were the one touting them up. Yeah, I mean he's a good guy before the season But he made some horrible errors, he horrible errors. He seemed like he kind of thought it was about him I'm not a big fan ever like You know he loves interjecting himself in the middle of it. We're talking the stat and I'm a little bit coach, but like Strike one on a kid. He's like time out. Go. Yeah. Well, he wasn't good. Well, like what are you doing? He was bumping a lot too. It wasn't good but two. Oh pulling guy. It's just all over the map Dan was rooting for I had fun watching with Rook Rico because he just like he's he knows He was saying all their names and like all cripples. Oh, we got a few pitches left The Italian's they imported a short stuff all Italian names. I got torres playing shorts That's diversified We can have a torres 100% Italian and then you got you got the Puerto Rican kid at short I felt like I was I felt like I was doing pick them last night because I was like Rico You keep going after these ups and killing them like these guys are just out there trying to do a job And he's like yeah, well little league makes 60 million on this TV contract and I'm like he you just been angry all summer at these Ups yeah, it's something that's been that's been like 10 years. I know It's a system, but it's but you're right. This is it's not necessarily the Ups fold. Okay, the umbs go to the camp and this is my point You should be mad at literally I tag keep I stay but then you go after each up. You're like you fucking piece of shit more so I tag keener I tag to CEO But the Ups should you shouldn't go after the I just expose the Ums call I don't say the Ums by name god. I put the they've got to show the screenshots the pitches five feet outside They're calling it straight. So who do you have when we said it? It's one of his last Bastions of hate that nobody's been like well, you're ruining these people's lives Yeah, so he's still been in all like has a free runway just to attack these people. Yeah, it's well Monet Davis might actually disagree Cuz Ziko does try to ruin her life every time. Well, does she has she acknowledged that You come after her yet. No, she hasn't Team went to and to much like every other team that goes to and to and that thing we we see a lot of that first game We never see what she did what is set in Ireland go to and to they're not getting a parade They're not sending their fucking jerseys to him. Oh, are you sure set? Yeah, they'll probably Locally locally locally locally locally not nationally. She's not we're not gonna win an espi you're not giving grip on espi I heard a team that went to and to get national you know, I mean they get a local parade like they come back And they want to walk the bus is a girl and she was playing yes, but but her team But if you want to hold her accountable like everyone else she went two and two and she gave up five runs or three runs in An inning and a third in the fucking elimination game can I ask totally different? I know Dan did a little am I the one who took this Katelyn Clark flyer with the Indiana fever. I Didn't take it. I didn't want to get in your way, but it seems like a good bet so far You don't want to get my way. I don't want to put the stink on it. I want to put the stink on it. That's your future. I'm not betting your futures Still forty thirty I Yeah, thirty five to one hundred and one to thirty five to one moving lines. Yeah, I I'm riding into game I might put a little more on it. I have to figure out all right. So why don't you do the Wait, yeah, can you leave Mona Davis alone, please? All right. Yeah, I'll leave her alone. Actually, I guess she's a grown woman now She's in college. I think she's finished college. Hey pick them listeners We're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners work hard and hydrate hard with body armor flash I be whether you're working an extreme heat or powering through a long shift body armor flash IV delivers faster longer lasting Hydration with more than two thousand milligrams of electrolytes vitamins B&C and zinc coconut water and no artificial Sweet nurse flavors or dies body armor flash IV keeps you performing at your best get body armor flash IV at your local 7-Eleven All right now back to the episode great Adred I'm debating we'll do our picks. It's week zero. There's four games. I don't think there should be a mandatory pick this week You can just I think everyone just has to have at least one pick. Yeah fair. That's fair. We should we should I don't think we should do locks We should lock us next week because it's great. You're basically forcing everyone to do a lock they might not love I'm debating I know that I've talked about doing a thousand game Season I I think I might go the other way. I think I'm gonna try to do a little bit more selective picking this year The big game hunting. Yeah, the big game hunting because it's like the time I have the busyness I just I can't I don't have the luxury of being able to just sit and watch Every single game on Saturday and I just I like to big game hunt. I've got a little taste the big game hunt I mean, I know you do that now Dave. It's it's way better because it's just like yeah Yeah, I was getting smoked in baseball. I'm still for the first time heading into this I'm up a lot this year because of these futures that I've done, but I'm giving it back quickly So I don't know what I'm gonna do my units have varied in between 25 grand a game to 100 grand a game So I it's you lose a lot quickly, so I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do What what do you think which you've done both which do you prefer big game? Yeah, see that's the thing is I would rather have Have you just been doing big game baseball hunting though? Yeah, yes Yeah No, you've been doing a middle you've been do yeah, it hasn't been big, but I I've been betting a lot, but I haven't bet more than a hundred on a game Yeah, which is a lot, but I'm up. I was up like seven million at one point Because of all these futures. Yeah, I have given a decent portion back I hit the fillies and the red socks red socks are dead. The big one was the fillies And and I again, I haven't been able to figure out the math on Caitlin Clark But they're going to make the playoffs and only eight teams make the playoffs. It's best of three best of five I think they're gonna be like close to I don't know plus one 40 in the first series Maybe not even that so I they're gonna have gigantic middles. Yeah, gigantic I mean for those numbers you read 10 million. Yeah, that's crazy Yeah, so I I have to make the decision, but I'm leaning towards just picking like more like seven to 10 games a saturday and just trying to focus in on that My experience with that is you'll still do the big game and then you'll toss in the little ones and and then you have everything go on But you're only paying attention to the big ones right right because that is yeah, I mean I've Done many years in a row where it's like 45 games on Saturday.

I'm gonna take four to state It's down to ten and a half. It is yeah this morning as of what I saw ready bo ten and a half right I'll take four to see ten and a half as my only pick okay I'll take Florida state minus the ten and a half also take SMU over five and a half touchdowns. Oh draft Kings I think they're gonna score a ton. I love the offense. I have their win total over eight I like the kid pressing stone Nevada's a bad defense. You look at the spread minus 27 and a half You're probably saying they're scoring 35 anyway. Give me the over five and a half on touchdowns. Wait is that a team total? No, it's over five and a half touchdown. Are we doing props this year? It's essentially the team total. Do you not want to count it? I don't know. We've never been away You're saying there's over five and a half touchdowns in the game. Oh SMU over five and a half touchdowns themselves That would technically be a prop. Okay, so no, but we've never done props. I'm fine with it, but I don't know Like the team told you we've done And it kind of is a team total, but it's also not yeah, I think you gotta go team total. Okay, you can't start doing props. I don't think all right So you're a team total. Yeah, I think it's like 40 and a half so I'll switch to that So yeah, what would be the You had over over five touchdowns. So five and a half touchdowns. But six touchdowns. Yeah, it's the same thing What are you trying to do? There's something he's something you're trying to do. I like no, not I'm not getting crazy I like five and a half touchdowns, but that's a team total. That would be over And let's like kept missing extra points. I guess the team total team total is 39 and a half minus 145 though Minus one over 41. Okay, so five
So over 41 and a half minus 110 yeah, what yeah, okay? Am I doing my math right? You're doing your math, right? I don't know why he he just why he switched up to eight Presencies it's essentially the same thing. It is the same thing. You have to score over Touchdowns because if they kick three field goals, they could go over but he loses and I would be fucked What was it? What did you watch? Touchdown was looking to five and a half touchdowns early 35 plus three field goals is over But he would have lost that he did the touchdown. I don't know Early going on to that brain. It's early. I think you thought you saw something like an an edge somewhere But I don't know we're not don't props. It's even team total over 41 and a half although I don't really know the difference between team total and touchdown total, but No team total. We've done team totals in the past. No, I know, but I think that's theoretically a prop to No, like I think the only thing that would it be considered props would be like the over in the sides. Yeah But I I personally view team total is like that's part of it. That's like It gets you to the exact thing I'll take in I'm taking Georgia Tech in the points. That's my only pick. Okay. All right, so 10 and a half right Anyone else got any other picks? Then so next week we'll be back with week one and we'll all have our locks and we'll all have our full cards And we'll get back to bases actually an awesome week one. It's great week one.
