Bad Breath Derails The Podcast | Pick Em - Week 9

The podcast episode blends football analysis, betting reflections, and personal commentary, offering a candid look at a challenging football season. The host criticizes his own early misjudgments, admitting a "bad start" to the season that has now been reframed as a realistic mid-season assessment. He delves into controversial game calls, such as a potential touchdown in a Tennessee-Michigan State contest that was not reviewed, and highlights recurring team failures by Auburn and Duke. The discussion also touches on inconsistencies in college football officiating, arguing that plays with time remaining should be reviewed more consistently. The host shares a detailed breakdown of his betting strategies, including a high-stakes 11-team parlay and a $25,000 bet on Jaden Daniels. He expresses cautious optimism about Ohio State’s national title chances despite concerns about their quarterback. The episode is punctuated by humor, such as a "dog fight for first" at 50% and a playful exchange about spring break plans. Throughout, promotional content for Mountain Dew, Bombas, Lucky One sweet tea, and State Farm is seamlessly integrated into the narrative. The tone remains energetic, self-deprecating, and deeply engaged with the sport and its culture.

It's Halloween, right? Because I don't know where you're at, Dave, mentally, but I was like, you know, oh, man, it's been a real bad start to the football season for me. And then I had like a moment where I'm like, we're calling them like middle to end of college football. I can't keep saying bad start. Yeah. I mean, obviously, I think you're still, and I'm not, I'm not looking at the math on the calendar. I think we're heading to the end of the first half. Like I'm still not in the third quarter yet in my brand. I don't know what the math says, but I, I feel like the playoffs extend this thing far. Right. But in terms of, so it's, it's also hard because obviously NFL college football NFL. I'm a hundred percent in the first. I'm like halfway through the second quarter. But college football, what do we got? Five more weeks after this? Yeah. You pull out regular season, we're late. We're late. We're late. We're late second quarter, under two minutes. But again, because you got to remember the playoffs add like how many extra weeks? Yeah. Three, four. I'm just saying like grind, the grind of like week to week because like one season, it's like, oh, there's, you know, 30 balls and you count them down on your head. Like, because I just always just think of it as like Michigan Ohio State Thanksgiving weekend, Alabama, Auburn, like that's the weekend where it's like, all right, we're like, yeah, we're just, we got to finite amount of games. But yeah, it's, uh, I just was more mad at myself because I've, I think I've said to myself almost every single Monday. For like the last five weeks, like, just a really bad start. It's okay. Just a really bad start. At some point, it's not a start. It's, it's just what the season is. Yeah. Yeah. So, and I got to break through. We had some bad beats on Saturday. Well, that's what you can say. I mean, I, I don't have my last weeks and picks in for me. Um, and maybe I'm making up more in my head. But last week, I should have won basically the entire board. And I, I, I, I, I was winning games like Oregon, wins by 6,000 points. And then I'm losing games. I lost five games like that. The great feel goal off of 2025 with Indiana, Michigan state. Yeah. Like, so I won Vandy. That was my big bet. And that was easy-ish. Like, they kind of controlled that game. That was the right. Now, they could have gotten screwed and backdored, but they weren't in control of that game. They were being up the quarterback. They could move the ball. So I won the 200 on that. I'm like, let me put 100. I loved Indiana. So that would have been a game change. Or I lost that. Um, what else did I have? Oh, obviously, Tennessee scored. Yeah. And people like they reviewed it. They didn't review that. I've watched that like a Zapruder film. The knee never touched. It was almost identical to a fucking touchdown that happened in the NFL that they reviewed. I forget who it was, but they stretched across the line. That was a touchdown. Yes. So Zapruder film is wild. You haven't had, that's a good part. I, that's a, that's a new Davie pronunciation. You, you, what is it called? It's a brooder. I just never, it's like a very famous film. When you get cooking, the, the words get mumbled. It's old school. I call fucking, I call a liner mark on air. I saw, I saw that. I, I almost was going to text him. I didn't apologize. Be like, that's just me. You gotta know that's going to happen. Oh, yeah. Don't take it personally. Yeah. I mean, you like, who's the star of home alone? Who was the little kid's name? My cocky, cocky, but when I get going, yeah, I mean, you, you like, you were talking, I don't remember what you're, oh, it's on, I think on name show, we were talking about, uh, caribus. And it's like, yeah, like he, he looks something like just saying his name wrong fetal bird. If you have fetal bird, yeah, still calls him. Yeah, right. I know the people. They don't take a person. I was like, I should, I should not be calling that line of mark on air. He's like, I'm, I'm like, Matt. What are you doing? But anyways, uh, there's those two. I know I lost. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Thank God. Well Auburn is different. I got a little rant about Auburn and Duke. Those two teams. I swear to God every sharp better in the world like Auburn and Duke every week. All they do is find a way to lose. They just love to lose. They do the work that was been through quite a bit medically stinks. Like we have a real torn because I went in on this kid not knowing a thing about him, but he's celebrating after he missed a 38 yard field. I'm like, you can't do that when you miss everything. He's been through hell and back, which he has to get back on the field. Now other SEC fans have taken some have taken my side. Well, okay, so Auburn is a make-wish program. We didn't know that. So it's going back and forth, but they should have won that game. The kid missed 9,000 kicks. But my point is Auburn are losers. They found a way to lose every game this year. They invent new ways to lose. Duke is the same way. I'm sick. If I have to hear someone be like, the Duke is the sharp side. Here's how every Duke game goes. They out gave their opponent by 400 yards. They moved the ball up and down and they never fucking score. And you'd look up and it's like, well Duke has 700 yards and their opponent has 200. Why the fuck are they down 30 to 17? It's every single time. So sick of Duke. So hold on. So you know the ins and outs of this and I tweeted this and I have said this on multiple programs for years. What is the exact ruling or process in terms of scoring plays for college like that Alabama Tennessee. I don't know the ruling on this. Okay, because they like, I've always said this. I've said this a million times. The Alabama Tennessee touchdown quote unquote could have been a scoring play. Why are they not looking at that? They only look at plays. They only look at plays that they call scoring plays and their record is the referees success rate is about 35%. Why they get in the benefit of the doubt. There's still time on the clock. They probably would have looked at it. Right. They claim I've seen people say they're looking. I'm looking at my picture. I'm last week and I'm right. I mean Minnesota plus eight and a half beaten a bright just smushed Nebraska. Vandy easy Northwestern easy. UGA you can say that when I did to their. Indiana. I still don't know what the hell happened at that. That was. That field goal war was unbelievable. If you didn't see it for people and see it. It's a blow out at the spread 26 and a half. I think it was at 25. It's fourth and one at the 20 after Indiana, by the way, didn't score on fourth and goal on a toe heel that to me is a touchdown and they they call time out Indiana. On fourth and one they're going for it. They call time out Indiana replies with a time out. Yeah. And then time out of the state replies the time out to you. Indiana is like all right. Fuck you. We're going to kick the field goal, which I think was meant to be an insult. I'm not quite sure. They kick the field goal and Michigan state comes down. They kick their down now 27 points and they kick a field goal on fourth and 13 from the 20. I've never seen that. Yeah. Yeah or 28 to make it 25 or whatever it was. Yeah. It was crazy. It was all right on the number. Yeah. The whole thing was on the number where you go. war and they had insignity in the Michigan State Coach had some type of conversation at the end of the game like talking about it. Yeah, you need that. We need to know which coaches like you were dead on about day and fickle as it turns out at the end. They are how they clearly didn't. Yeah, I know. I mean, they still cover but yeah, they definitely took what I like the over because I thought they'd score a thousand percent. Yeah. I mean, you need to know who hates each other and who likes each other because it does matter. I think of Scott Hansen's tweet, but if how is that not allowed if your heel hits the ground after your feet, but if you toe drag and then your heels eventually hit out of bounds, how is that any different than what? Like when you toe drag, when they call that a reception, it was not, are you talking about Tennessee in the end? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. In the end of the drive before on fourth and goal from the sixth through one of the corner of the end zone. It was the guy was on his tippy toe clearly in. That should be a lands out of bounds. Like what's different than when you toe drag, you toe drag, you're your feet are in and then you fall out of bounds. Part of time your heels hit the ground. They've hit out of bounds. Yeah. No, it should count the exact set. Uh, Tennessee. So I mean, the, the touchdown, it wasn't ruled a touchdown. That's why they didn't review it. I do think that if there's time left, they should have reviewed it, but they did. They had Dan and I were texting during that. I actually got so confused by Dan's text because he's like, I can't believe we lost. I thought somehow my, I was way behind. So I like, shut my phone off, actually. And I was like, kept trying to fast forward. I thought I was off because you declared it a loser. When it looked like it was going to be a winner, I'm like, he somehow knows something bad is going to happen. Oh, no. Something bad did happen. And then I looked at the phone. Yeah. I looked at the phone after he like, Oh my God. I didn't know we had the ball back. So in the back of my mind, I watched that Tennessee series being like, I was like 10 minutes ahead of you. Yes. And really, in reality, I was literally just like, I can't believe we lost. And I had already turned off the TV. Yes. So, but in what you said, actually held true, it was like, I can't believe we lost. Tennessee had 47 plays from the one y'all line and didn't score. Yeah. It was surreal. It was crazy. Crazy. And the fact that we were going to survive like you, I thought we were going to get the lucky like the interception at the end of the first half by tennis by Alabama. Like those never get returned. So you thought like, oh, we're dead there. And then he returns. It's like points or points. Yeah. Yeah. It's just not been a great year. So right now, David, I heard a dog fight for first at 50%. I'm 50.2%. He's 50% Bosco. Yeah, you got to keep the TV on to wait till I finish in the horse race right now. It's been a bad year for picks. 40%. It's been horrible. You've got to get it up, horrible. You've got to start bumping those numbers up. Oh, you got to play some aggressive ball. You got it. Yeah, you got to start pressing. You got to start firing. Yeah. Because at this point, you're right. Yeah. It's like, how are you feeling overall? How's it going? What's going on? Did you see the Dave? Did you see the gorilla came out on Sunday? No, Rico, uh, McPhill is. McPhill might be. Oh, I know. McPhill gets to him. Oh, yeah. And did you see what he did to murals too? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can't close on that. Like you can't close on that. He fucking Dave, the, the cults, we need one reception. I know you need Tyler Warren. One reception. Yeah. It's, it's, they got, they got the ball. The drive starts. He's like, you know, a three and out here wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. And it's like, all we need is for the cults to run. They got to run place. Like he just, like, he just, I like me a lot. He does. He pokes a little bit like, no, no, no, no, no. The problem with this was he was clearly in the quicksand dying. And it's like, instead of, hey, help me out. He was grabbing ankles to try to drag people in. And I was like, what do you have? I don't know. Well, he should have been right. He probably had an antepe. I mean, he knows, but, but he's supposed to be rooting for her when you say he's dying in the quicksand. What do you mean by that? The entire cave. It was such a ridiculous statement that everyone was like, wait, what? But why was he dying in the quicksand? No, he just, he just, when he said the three and out thing, it was like, dude, what are you talking about? The entire cave clip. Like that's like bringing someone who's never watched the game in all the thing. Like the three and out. But you need one can. Yeah. But Rico got meek was getting at Rico, separate of the murals bet. And Rico just stood up and just, he was legitimately pounding his chest. Like as hard as he could, I might not see in this clip. I got to get it. He goes, he's just like, you want the gorilla? You want the gorilla? And he was going like that. We got to find Austin. Can you send it to Dave? I will say on Sunday. I'm doing, I've switched from TD scores to TD passers. I had two parles. My, my parlay, they give out that haven't won. I've already had three in the book. I need one more Jaden Daniels touch down. I had 25 grand on that to win 250. And he had a half a football against the Cowboys. There was no way he was not throwing another touchdown pass. He gets hurt. That's the type of season. On top of that, I did it. I don't even know what I'm doing. I did an 11 team parlay, five grand to win a million. I hit nine of 11. The only two I didn't hit. My quarterback got knocked out. Jaden Daniels and Bryce, Bryce Young. That's insane. That's insane. Great run by one of the girl Carly, though, Dave. Yes. That was very exciting. Her numbers came back not too shabby. I mean, I'm what listen. I said I was not going to throw parades for winning at parks on a Monday. It was very exciting. I regret not being able to be there. Miss Peaches had a gala that we had to like, was scheduled for donations. I just couldn't swing it. I tried to actually scratch her from the race because I want to go to all my horses races, but there was nowhere else to put her. But she looked great. I'm very excited for her next race whenever that may be. I did put 200 and so I put my, I did an account bet 10 o'clock Monday night football, Seahawks. I was wondering why those tweets were so late at night. Do you see the tweet? No. He's going to see how X don't cover. I'm going to write that by the way, I just want to because they dominated the game. Four turner is the one they won. They it. When Donald threw that into deception late, if they lost that, like they were, Houston went down to the five that Houston, this is horrible. But that confused the internet because I said if Seattle blows this, I'm going to write a strongly word letter. The Mariners had already lost and not just confused people. Yeah. That, that was a, that was a game that was I, I wanted to turn off so many fucking times and the Texans just kept on making a play to be like, gotta keep watching. I'll tell you, good else should be in prison for doing 10 o'clock Monday night football games. Brutal. Brutal. Absolutely prison because I heard what you said, Daniel, right? What? You got a better 10 o'clock Monday football game. Like it's a Super Bowl now. It's not right. I was, I was sitting at my son's basketball practice at five o'clock and I was putting in bets like it was the Super Bowl. Yeah, crazy. I was like, there's two games and I was just firing and I looked down and I'm like, I got props. Like if they give me a cornflip prop, I would've bet it. I bet like it's the midnight snack in the whack. This is, to have a 10 o'clock Monday night football game, you should be, be headed for doing that. And your bet it and it happens after another Monday football game. So you lose that one and then you're like, oh, we're just now, it's actually should be illegal. I won quarter millies. So my count is ready to go. But I, I want it. I now have a, because new house is the first time the new house. I'm having mispeaches. Well, I know whether I have the wrong pillows, the wrong sheets and I'm up till 2 a.m. Yeah, those those late night. Yeah, I don't sleep either. I haven't slept in fucking months and I just, yeah, when you add in the games, because I just look at the clock. What are you doing, right? At Boreshead, we've been going back to school for over 115 years. And this year, every school lunch is reason to celebrate with the flavors your kids love and the exceptional quality you expect. Helping you make school lunch fresh, easy and delicious. Ring the bell, the deli is open. Boreshead committed to craft since 1905. Dave, I did a, I did a, it's going to happen anyway. Somebody's well bet it, Parlay. It's Kansas City chiefs to win the Super Bowl, Ohio State to win the national championship, Scottie Sheffler to win the Masters. What are the odds on that? And then we, it was minus 130. Oh, and the Dodgers to win the World Series. It's six grand to win 800,000. It's actually a great bet. I just like, Hey, if it's going to happen, I'm going to bet it. It's great bet. What do you think is the least likely of that? Scotty. So it's the last leg, which I like. I actually, yeah, I mean, that's the hardest. Listen, that was one of my biggest bets when I was on that streak. I got on that four to one. I think I had 600 grand on them. I don't think that's that unlikely. I like that. What do you think is the most unlikely? The chiefs? Because I also did, I did, I did just Ohio State. eight and chiefs. That's 10 grand to win two, two, 15. So that's 25 to one, 20 to one, 20 to one on that one. Just that one. Listen, I, I, I still think Ohio State's very good, but there's a lot of good team. Well, in this, my reasoning, I don't want this like, it's, it's like, almost like I don't want it to happen. So problem with Ohio State is the quarterback, maybe like unbelievable. Yeah. I'm not convinced. Now, they haven't had a close game. Their defense has given up like zero point to the season. I'm not convinced if they get to that moment where he has to step up and make plays that he's not just going to make them. I don't know. Very good. He should. Yeah. And he, he's, uh, and their schedule sets up so perfectly that like, because they'll get to the, the Michigan game undefeated. Uh, and then they, if they beat Michigan, like, they'll get a test there just because of the rivalry and got to go to Ann Arbor. And then they'll get a test of the big 10 championship game. And then it's, you know, a buy. I just think the, the team is so fucking good. And I think the chiefs are, I think the chiefs are, like, it's old patriots. Like they're in the AFC championship game. They've reversed it, which I think is actually better for what you want to do in an NFL season. The, and I, who are they talking about with this the other day? I forget. But, uh, maybe I'm wake up parcel. They, the last couple of seasons have started really strong and started leaking oil as it continued. They kind of did the reverse where they start weak, everybody, but they're getting healthy. They're getting better. They're very good. And I actually think the Patriots may be the biggest threat to them in the AFC. That's what's caught me now. See, I can't bet on Ohio State. And I can't bet on the chiefs because the Patriots are there. And I love that bet. You just said. Yeah. I just was like, Hey, if it's going to happen, I might as well fucking ride it in those. Can I bet it? There's going to be. Well, money's green. That is such a funny question to yourself. I do like that. There's like, wait a second. Can I bet it? Then you hear all the people be like the emotional hedge. I've never done that. I've never done it either. So I mean, I don't, I don't have any emotion in these two teams. I think if it was one or the other, you could, I think the fact that it's both that's the game. It's like the Patriots very well could play the chiefs in the playoffs. Right. And you yeah, like if it was last year and the Patriots were. Yeah, when the Patriots are non factor, you can do it. But they're going to be playoffs and they could beat that team. So yeah. Oh, man. Um, I can just do it. So Ohio State still like six to one. No, they're like three to one. I think they're both like, like chiefs are like six and a half to one and Ohio States like three to one. She served five to one. Ohio State's three to one. Three to one and three to one. Oh, Ohio State is unbelievable value. However, like I could still see. I think people wrote off Oregon far. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I agree. Oregon. Uh, I think Oregon got a little bit shocked with just how good Indiana is. You know what I mean? Like I think that was a little bit of this is last year's and this not last year's Indiana. Mendoza, their quarterback is as legit as legit cats. Uh, I think they got a little shocked. I also think, Dave, I like your Thai Simpson. I think it's going to come down to Thai Simpson, Julian, saying and Mendoza, you got to hope that Thai Simpson, the Bama's got to get to the SEC championship game because what you don't want to happen is Hey, if he if he's not in the SEC championship game, you're fucked because Ohio State has to like being. You can put up all your stats to us stuff, but they haven't had a game anyone's cared about yet. I know. The Alabama socks. So yeah. Yeah. So Michigan, maybe, but like, by the way, Michigan, most likely is going to be playing Ohio State to go to playoffs. Yeah. What's the rest of your schedule? Easy. It's not that hard. Okay. It's easy. I think app Maryland is their toughest spot. Yeah, which Maryland is a good is their quarterback is all and as the week before Ohio. So I mean, it's a definitely trap game. That's the famous. That was the famous, uh, urban, who's now our colleague, uh, like dying on the sideline game. Yeah. Remember that was like six or seven years ago. I remember I didn't know that's who it was. It was Ohio State versus Maryland the week before Michigan. Then he just he started just having started having a stroke on the sideline because he just couldn't handle the loss. Yeah, I just think I also think it's a lot of, you know, we're we're looking at a fun playoff as well. You got some new blood. Yeah. With big time teams like Miami, you know, I know they lost, but probably in that was the most Miami loss of all time. Carson back. Yeah. Louisville's Carson back is Carson back. I know I was state is separated. There's no doubt. This is to me. And I was early on it. The quarterback is is very different from anything I've seen since I've been trashing them. He is awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Um, oh, uh, you got check your phone Dave. They sent the clip for the, uh, the griller. It's, it's just peak Bosco of just the second time I think he does it. He's like really, he's really being a gorilla. It's a co-opening Mexican circle. Never get over. Oh, that's great. That's our Johnny. Let's go. We go. That's fucking news. Yeah. It's not hard for both to be true. Yeah, both to be true. Both to be true. Not your group. You know what he's saying. That's fine. That's fine. You know what? I was misunderstood. Well, I mean, I tweeted that. This is loud as fuck. Harambe was misunderstood. What happened? There's someone like landscaping. Want some champagne problems? You can't figure out when people are here. It's loud. People just showing up. Is that a wine seller to the back? Yeah. Nice. Um, what else we have? What else could that be there? By the way, I was making sure green screen. What gave it away? The wine bottles in the, yeah, in there. Yeah. But maybe there was an anecdote with that. Like, that's where you keep the. It was here when I got the house. Okay. Like that's where I, what is first day? But him being like, I needed a place with a wine seller. That's where I keep the champagne with the people's names on it. Maybe you thought you thought that I walked in when I was looking at houses being like, you know, I'm a wine seller. I'm out. Yeah. Because I need to put my people. There's weird things with houses. Yeah, potentially. Maybe here's the idea. Dave's buying houses in a certain level where they all just have wine sellers, but he's not asking. Yeah. That's not all true either. Am I, am I, I'm trying to think, uh, second wine seller, Montalkin here. That's it. Or like wine room. Do they all have? No. Oh, huh. I always say I'm not a big wine drink. I'm just going to go on an anecdote. Okay. Being lucky, you should be meet the new lucky one, sweet tea from mispeaches. The vodka drink that's positively doing good, made with real tea and real vodka, non-terminated, the 100 calories. And here's a scoop. Their new sweet tea is the only vodka based sweet tea on the market, simple ingredients in a smooth full flavor that makes it taste just like the real sweet tea.

You're no, no, no hip. He did a great after dark last night. He was here till two in the morning, make it big free throws. A lot of people were watching. Well, good because there was a clip float around. Yes. Oh, yeah. What's the clip? Got your culture. No, it's not got your culture. I miss shots. Like, I think that was got your culture. They posted you missing shots. Nah, I miss the shots. I'm confused on got your culture. You're all what's the clip? You're telling Harry. I went to his draft Kings. We love draft Kings. Oh, yeah. Jack hit me up. He's like, Hey, there's an influencer type event at 30 rock or rock plaza with Chris Berkeley, who's like an unbelievable trainer. We're going to run through some shooting drills. I hadn't picked up a ball since we won. Definitely like risky, you know, like Rusty, I should say. So we start and it's, it's ugly from the mid range. Then we did one on one. I ended up winning the one on one. So I'm good against it because Berkeley, the other, uh, no, the other influencers, who are the other influencers? They men and women. Uh, one was a girl walked her down. Uh, and then a couple of other guys. So you play one on one, you got to get three best guys or how guys at my age, relatively, one guy was from overtime. Phil knew him. You should see the other guys shooting drill. What? Yeah, they were. They were pretty bad with it. Bad. I would not say you be a one a wins a win, Jack.

There was never any weaseling out. There was never any. I mean, what do you mean you're good to go either way? So you're going March? Well, what did that mean? I'm clarifying, I'm clarifying, clarifying. If it happens in February, I am good to go either. If it does or does not happen in February, I'm good to go either way. If it does or does not happen. In February, you're good to go either way. That makes, like. Closer in front of you. Like, all right. Like, if, yes, if it happens in February, um, is that, if we don't do it in February, and they say, no, I'm good with that whole floor. That's what that noise is. I'm good with either outcome. He's just, you got it, you got to save me. You got it. Hey, pal, hey, Dan, Dan. Don't pal me, buddy. You got it, you got it. You got it. I will, you're good, you're good. You're good. You're good, you're good. You're good either way. You're good, you're good either way. You're good. What? The championship's first big eight, bro. What about the second week? Don't say good. I don't think people are, okay. I just say, say, say, say, say, then we're, yeah. Okay. When you say good either way, it's clarify. That's not either way. That's a nice chair. Yeah, you think there's a story behind it? You're a dick. Okay. Like, you're just a fucking asshole. Like, you really are an asshole. You're so bad at small talk with Dave. You're just like, oh, yeah, look. What's the story behind that? Not just an asshole. You know, or an asshole. Sorry, there's like a lot of things happening here. I can't hear shit. All right. Now it's better. It's a nice chair to have. Yeah, Dave, is there a story behind that chair? I don't like this chair. This is the chair. I can't move it. Bosco loved it. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a wheels. It's on wheels, but I'm on a rug. That's a problem. You can't get the plastic thing. That was key. I gotta get the plastic. Yeah. You're gonna look such like, yeah, you can't do that. Well, how else do you do it? I don't know. I'll be doing the plastic thing on a rug in a $30 million house. No, you have to. No. I mean, then you can't have, then you can't have a rug. Yeah, then you can't have a rug. I can't move. I'm stuck. You gotta get rid of the rug. I just, desk weighs a million pounds. I don't think we can get rid of the rug. All right. So back to, if it happens in February, I will go, clarify that. That's good. That's a good clarification. But it sounds like it's not gonna happen in February. But what? This? Okay, sorry. This is a lot going on. Okay, so Rico is going to, he's good to go to spring break house if it happens in February. Okay, that's straight forward. Yes. That's a good, that's a good answer. That's what I figured. I wasn't sure. You said, you always said you couldn't do marks. So I was surprised when you said I'm good to go either way. Yeah. Because if it's not happening, that, you can't really apply. If it's not happening, it's not happening. Yeah. So I think, what would you say? Slow, think, or fast, hold it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You, you also instantly texted all of us. That was pretty crazy. You didn't text me. You texted you. No, you tables, gas. But it was almost like bang, bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang. Yeah. I don't think they've given the new number, right? What? Did you give, you give me your new number? Has he texted you since? Fair question. But he never really texted me. Yeah. He wants to go on the spring break house. He's, he's requesting for it to be in Miami for the Latinos. The Latinos, I saw that. Yeah. Spicy Latinos. Wait, Latinos are the Latinos. That's what they call us. It's more of a spring break spot. Yeah. Latinos are Latinos. Latinos. Oh, okay. Confused. Might've been Latinos. Are you got anything else, Jackie? Per Bosco? I got nothing. Yeah, you doing great. It's been great having you here. You're great on After Dark. You're great on the stream on Sunday. Meekville is like a number one. Father of Bosco. I didn't realize that. I do actually, well, not a bad thing. But I did. And after the meekville on Sunday, I caught a conversation between Rico and Jerry where Rico compared meekville being mean to him to Rico offering Jersey, Jerry Crack because Rico has anger management and Phil is bullying him, which was kind of wild. Austin, can we put this through my headphones? So I can't. There's like. Did you hear any of that, Dave? No, no, it's Grand Central Station in here. Rico or Jack is saying that Rico was loosely loosened to a conversation where Rico and Jerry were talking after and Rico said that having meekville there is is no different than like if you offer Jerry Crack because it has meekville is like gets under Rico's skin so bad he has anger management that it's like unhealthy for him. I like that. Yeah, that's, that's what we, you need guy. Who would you rather have bringing that out and getting the content? Meekville. Good, good point. The gorilla. Gorilla. In fact, that's too bad because if we did spring break, if you do change it to a ski house, then you can do February. And originally I said tables would be the social guy but maybe it's meek. Love that. Yeah. Imagine our crew, it loves his shots. He loves getting in front of that camera. Imagine our crew in like Valor, you know, one of those super nice. Yeah, it would not work. Jackson Hole. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that picture, Nicky smokes like made of him fucking brand and walked his face was wild. It was also like, there's no context or anything. It was like, he tweeted it as if it was like a famous picture we all should be like, oh, yeah. That crazy moment. I don't know where that picture is from. I just can't, I know where. It also, he doesn't really care, like Walker cares about Mississippi. That's the worst when you like, Walker really cares. Can't care more about Mississippi State. Nicky smokes only cares about the Dolphins. Yeah. And Nicky smokes coming in to see Brandon on Monday morning at like 9 a.m. and saying, what a bitch. I would kill myself. Why would it jump in front of the train? If Nicky smokes saying, it really makes sense when you think about how he pushed the chef. Wait, no, uh, the chef, Devlin. No, no, no. I'm talking about Nicky pushing the Buffalo Bill chef. Oh, yeah, yeah, there are two pushers. Got a lot of pushers. Yeah, the two pushers going ahead head. All right, let's do some games. All right.

Yeah, you don't use that day So maybe meek felt break meek felt just always stick a gum ready to go yeah Although meek felt might he might freak him out a different way. Oh, what is that? Nothing. He's got that breath He smells One time in the game we cave so I don't know if that's all the time But you guys can be gum guys. I was not trying to sell me a buddy. I thought you were I thought you were saying that you just always have each other's back Jesus, this is dark like it's certain things I think you joke about I don't know we've entered a cat You don't want to be told you smell bad breath. Hey, I'd say that I said either Well, I think both You guys you would interpret what you said that way. No, not how I meant it. You're a gum on you I got I got neuro gum. I got energy gum What are you gonna get me more Adderall Hank? When are you all when are you coming back to the office? Yeah, I have no Adderall I can't do it It's a chicken in the end. Yeah, you can't you can't you can't you can't you give me the energy to get and then I said next time you're here I have or Adderall I sat hypothetically when you're here next they will be taking care of you can't get you if you're here next You know that I try to get you and I don't have the energy I don't have the energy to get there No, that sounds like hey, you might need a guy three like three times this year. Dave has Come back to Chicago after a Saturday, big noon and then almost immediately was like why am I here and then make it? Can't do it can't make it too long. I see you here on Saturday My god see him on Sunday and make it I went with it. I look in the mirror and it's like you're worth so much money and you're sitting in a hotel Do you remember whooped up in the cold weather you have these places and and you can do the show remote and I just freak out and I leave It's like the undertaker thing. Yeah, do you remember what what? Okay, when you went to the wrestling thing he was there for about Say, okay, I did not enjoy that I do that hotel very free if you're unhappy you have to remove yourself from All right, what was intern all-time stooley history? What was funnier seeing him being like I'm fucking out of here the undertaker thing or the roast of Hey, or when I did the the five minutes of it the hate stand up was funnier because Dave's face But that wasn't me, but my stand-up he would have stayed. No, he was just he was saying there He was just like I I hate all these people. I have to get out of here It wasn't who was that there was a He just he just didn't plan anything and it was so bad right, no, I know the meme of Dave's face Oh, yeah, Dave is funny thinking about remembering like August when you you were like yeah, I'm gonna go I'm gonna do big noon. I'm gonna go Chicago do Sunday then do Monday then fly back I think I said you were gonna last two and a half weeks. I think I said you thought I'd be gambling related It was just I can't it's like cooped up in the hotel and then in the cave and it's just it was too much couldn't do it You gotta like if you could if you could choose to watch because you're watching all the games I can tell that you're locked in you're watching all the games if you can watch a Football game with a sliding door open to the ocean yes is Sitting in the and I'm definitely afraid of the cave and getting sick and I can't get sick right now I'm drinking all these fluids every day to try to keep it keep it moving But yeah, it in by the time you do it that way It's like you I would be getting home Monday and then it's like you're right back out the door you have no time It's like what am I doing it would absolutely kill you all right, let's do this case by the way I'm sorry. I said the time, but just be do as I've been a problem for you never So then okay, I saw maybe one time Maybe one time when was that I think there was maybe a final four But that was also because that's when you get in Bosco like you know meet in Greek mode and You're you're you're introducing yourself like you you remember that time yet remember that time he had snowed in For two and a half hours and then two weeks later two weeks later. We're no longer with the company That was yeah, that was Listen, when you talk The grilla. Yeah, there was a text. I sent you the just a dark alley. Yeah, and Dan was like I don't know what this means It's like dog pad when you get uh when you get ampt up You're good. You're a good like meeting people, but we got it. We got to be I've overheard some conversations Some business conversations not of this company that boss goes name gets banteed around. It's a big night tonight Let's go. Okay. Yeah You're rooting as well though, right? You're what of course. Yeah, our Barstool's bottom line. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you closing deals. Why is this I got the gum in my head This company they like that if you watch the major league playoffs baseball Every over the place every time they go to the bullpen commercials all over the place. Oh, there we go. Yeah, let's go It doesn't have to be gum too. It could be of a breath mint Bartrick is a lemon slice to what an old bar trick is a lemon slice. What do you do with it you throw it around in there? I don't think that's my I actually got unbelievable breathments. I I forget the one they somebody gave them to me at BYU They're like you miss the best thing in the bookstore. They're like pop rocks breathments. They're unbelievable How was BYU looks awesome great? It's really fun. I was glad we did it You know, they love you I actually said this to Austin. I go damn would love this place the candy It's like yeah, candy land because that's their drug. Yeah, because I could I could reasonably like I still you know drink from time to time But I could reasonably live like a sober life and just eat candy and ice cream and that's what they do Yeah, I couldn't handle multiple wives, but I could definitely just be like candy and ice cream everywhere you go It's top of the shelf top of the line ice cream and candy like they're like just feed it to me He went to candy lady. You thought of me. I did I said awesome. Oh, Dan would fucking love this in the book store They were like making their own candy and ice cream in the middle of the book. Oh, that's awesome The pizza review was a what kind of like I set up which one with the band the band's the I grab him in the office as he's leaving. I was like hey like you know, it could be late tonight like that He's like yeah, we already talked on like three four days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was good So that's I mean that's well you know last day. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, when we said it I had no idea on the podcast I Had Hank reached out Dan reached out like this. Everybody reached out and like we can do it You were 48 hours later be like I may be able to set something up It's like well, everyone in their mother has already offered we were trying to get them so that you could be like all right You guys got to fast their phones. Yeah, I was chasing. I had people in one phone call. I had Somebody on the staff okay That it got in front of and I also knew Jack being like they don't have that scrimmage like Jack They had a scrimmage away as well. So that threw away Friday as well. So my guys here that fire alarm going off. Yeah, I just heard a chirp So my window was shortened as well. Yeah, but it all worked out. Yeah, it worked out Can you guys hear that? I heard a little chirp. Is it is it a battery fire alarm? It's not the fire alarm going off, right? Fire alarm in the house. Okay. All right. Let's do, uh Let's do let's do some games. Let's do some games. It's been a great pick them with the boys. Oh, Unbelievable pick them. All right. Let's see. We got five games not the the greatest week in terms of like rank You know last week was awesome ranked first rank, but we're gonna start with Ole Miss at Oklahoma Oklahoma minus four and a half over under 54 and a half. Dave, I'll start with you. Did you have Ole Miss or Georgia? I didn't I didn't bet the game. Okay, that sucked if you had Ole Miss it sucked a lot you could feel You like that was George on pick them, but I didn't I didn't touch the game And that was one of those ones that when you've been gambling long enough You could see it happening in real time where you're like hold on this doesn't really make sense There are five to spread seven like this is this is going to be a fucking, you know, this is going to suck and it did It sucked so bad. Uh, what do you got in this game, Dave? Uh I'm gonna take Oklahoma Any reasoning I think that takes a lot out of you that last game and it'll take the points. So I'm basically That you're reasoning right there is how I thought of it. I was like you get up for Georgia. It's a big game Now you got to go to Oklahoma Oklahoma I think is good. I think material is still not a hundred percent and I also think There's a chance Oklahoma's defense might be a tad overrated because they haven't played a quarter I'm sorry. I'm taking Mississippi. Yeah, I was about to clarify because he did say I'll take Oklahoma And I'll go home and I'll take the point. Well, I thought it was a verse. Yeah, I don't want to thank you. That's fine Rico No, I appreciate it It's fine. I thank you for allowing me to get it right. We have not had there's no hostility Why did you find a need to come back on the top though? I just don't I you I said I screwed up I meant Ole Miss and you say okay, it's fine So I'm saying thank you for allowing me to make mistake I'm saying just make sure it's press well, but there's a little mockery in that though You're like thanks. It's fine like well, you it's fine. You you when you said it's fine that I screwed up I'm like, thank you. Yeah All right, so I'm I'm gonna take Ole Miss as well plus four and a half. Is that okay? That's okay. That's okay But yeah, I don't think Oklahoma No offense, but Bryce Underwood's second road start where they didn't you know really pass the ball dog ears Archbanging like Trinidad's the best quarterback. They're gonna face so I think I'll take the four and a half This is probably although Lane Florida stuff's gonna start cooking up a little and I'm saying five and five and a half. Okay, five and a half great This is probably me probably chasing the last week narrative because I took the under and George Ole Miss and that was gone in five seconds I'll take the over here. You're taking the over. Yeah, you said Oklahoma's defense is a little overrated I know Ole Miss is defense is not phenomenal We'll see. I'll take the almost offense is not I know. What's the what's the total 54 and a half? If I take the under you're gonna take offense and think that I'm no you're trying to win. Yeah I'm gonna add up these last forever. I didn't know is that high All right, I'll take the under all right the next game. We've got I'll take the under and Ole Miss That's gonna be a double loser next game. Dave. You'll be at UCLA at Indiana Indiana minus 25 and a half over under 54 and a half I love that signety is saying this is a three and o team. They're going up against. Yeah great I'm gonna take in the end. Yeah, I think I'm either gonna be really right or really wrong I don't think this is gonna be around 20. I think it's going to be around 40 or you're gonna be like oh shit This is under under ten points and UCLA is really turned it around but I don't know. I got blow out Emotions at home from Indiana their defense starts slowing his mission in state But yeah, I'm not taking the end Yeah, but even the fact like because you I saw because I had Indiana last week too and you tweeted it Dave right like You know our brains are basically the same on Saturdays and Sundays in the fall you tweeted This game Indian as a loser like in the minute I was thinking it because they were down what like ten three or something When you're that big of a favor you can't have the other team put about points early because you got to think they're gonna Get meaningless ones late, right? They did The fact that Indiana was in a spot to recover it shows you how good Indiana is 100% yeah 100% Yeah, they Michigan state can't stop them and that the the toe heel killed us. I think I they may have covered If they didn't kick the field goal. Yeah, if they went for it They probably get it and maybe score another touchdown whatever and Michigan state probably doesn't kick a field goal if they don't and they don't have as much time. Yeah, I said the backup kid for Michigan state I've seen a couple times. He's pretty good All right, I'm gonna take Indiana. I'm also gonna take the over there. That's gonna be an awesome scene Dave It's a helmet revenge game. They broke that guy's helmet. Didn't they last year? Niko? Oh, no, I got confused the Ohio State my bad Yeah, yeah, what do you got in this take the over? Yeah, sorry about that Rico It's fine. It's been such a good We can't chop it up. You can't events this like I'm in mistake. I apologize Preemptively apologize. All right, Missouri at Vanderbilt Vanderbilt's minus two and a half over unders 52 and a half that Vanderbilt crowd was awesome They finally this is the game. I was saying it. Oh, we had we're still on PMT today By the way, everyone go subscribe to his new YouTube his new his new iTunes Spotify. I think his first podcast coming out November 3rd I was saying though what about him for spring break house. I don't think he's gonna want to do spring we can add no I don't think so we can ask you love to get as a no Loves hoops Yeah, it'd be another guy in the house like oh the two of you just watching hoops together. No, I mean, it's still go out like you know You know, you know who he's his team is No, you don't know that And he's a big NBA guy. Yeah, he's got one team in college Who the Johnny's okay got good content. Yeah, I mean, I know, you know, it's the only team he cares about Yeah, he's a big guy like the Johnny's whatever the Johnny's Okay, that'd be good. That'd be good He and Joey Yank should maybe get a beer together Yeah, they're they're they're Joey Yank's is a big Johnny's guy lift some weights This is the the matchup though of two teams that have just had their stadium under renovation for like 15 years Vanderbilt's finally done. It looked awesome Against LSU like it was it was it was a cool scene. Are you gonna go back to the well Dave? Yeah, I And this is it listen, I've been preaching about Vanderbilt now for weeks. I put my money where my mouth is I don't think Missouri is that good I like I like this Vanderbilt team I pose this question. You're down four points. You get the ball. Who do you want Diego Pavia? Ty Simpson SEC? I take Pavia I just like the way he plays. I know he choked away that fam again I like this Vanderbilt team. I like the Moxie. I think they are a legit threat to win the SEC So I'll take him again, and you know what Diego Pavia is. He's just a classic college football quarterback. Yes, him and him and Haynes King at Georgia Tech Those two guys they're not going to be like some, you know, Pro Bowl playing guys on Sunday like they might you know get a little They might make a roster whatever They're not going to be the the guys they're going to draft the first round But there are certain guys who just know how to play college football and that's the first down with the legs when they needed the throws And I'll tell you what Vanderbilt schemes up plates. Yeah, like they get plays Ten 15-yard chunks where there's nobody around like they're easy looking plays. Yeah, I'm a little and they punished I thought Nuss Meyer played the best game. He's played all season made some really good throws because he was getting punished Yeah, it was The only thing I'm nervous about is like Vandy that was the biggest win they've had yeah at Vanderbilt in a very very long time But I just think I I'll just take Diego Pavia And drink with this is another guy Simulta Lane The coaching carousel. He's definitely getting phone calls He's definitely getting phone calls from Florida. He's definitely getting phone calls from Penn State Like some of these guys at this point in the season. You just got to remember that like Distraction it might not be totally distracting, but you can't if someone's offering you a hundred million dollars How are you not thinking about it? That's why Indiana was so smart Indiana just being like here's 11 million sig What what you just said though about Vanderbilt? I think is playing into Vanderbilt's fact are all gambling like I this This is a different team. Yeah, they're SEC teams You wouldn't necessarily be like well, you beat LSU at home Can they get up the next week? This is just a very good team I also grew with that too because they didn't throw an egg against or lay an egg against Alabama They should have won that game like all season they've been gearing towards an SEC championship It's a rarity. We didn't think Vanderbilt was gonna be the SEC championship mix, but they are gearing up every fight You know, like they're a prize fighter. They keep moving up. So yeah Rico is I agree with that and I think it's important. They're not they came into the season Me like we can win I actually think they think they can win national title I don't think they can but they have much bigger goals, so I don't think you're gonna see a letdown from them Okay, that appeases me. I'm gonna take me and the old you know, yeah, I mean it's lower things but like all season They've been dialed in. There's no so Charles Charleston Southern 453 Virginia Tech 44 20 They're beating the shit out of the teams. They were supposed to South Carolina 31 7 Georgia state 70 to 21 Ohio Utah State 55 35 Bama obviously yeah covered Yeah, they they lose to Bama in a game where they were right there Beetle issue. It's a history fight. They still got a lot going here with Texas all-burn Kentucky and Tennessee You know, I think they beat every single one of those teams. Yeah, all right next game night game This one is so tricky tech say an M at LSU LSU plus two and a half the line screams LSU, right? But like the line screams LSU. No, I think I don't really. Yeah, no Trying to get people to take Texas A&M and I will take Texas A&M. Yeah, I am - I if it was three and a half I think they would be telling you to take LSU Under under three I just I don't like LSU as well, so I don't want to yeah You're just basically saying like what how much is the is LSU at night worth? Right that's basically what your what your what's the total the total is 47 and a half 47 and a half what which is crazy because LL Yeah No, Dan Dan nothing - Plus Meyer was way better, he is way better. - I had the over in that game. - He was way better last week. Now he's under pressure, I like the over there. So I'm taking A and M in the over. - I mean, Texas A and M, like they got Arkansas gave him, they scored 30 plus on him. I'm gonna take the over, I'm not gonna take the side done. I can't do, I can't double bet this game 'cause I will double lose this game. That's a guarantee, so I'll just single bet it. - What, you know that. If I take Texas A and M in the over, that's a LSU 1713 win. - And you can't rebound from double losers. - Especially at the night window? - Yep, 100%. You can rebound from a double loser at 11 a.m., you can at 630. - I don't know that I can rebound. If I have a double loser, a double side loser on a Saturday, I will almost guarantee you I have a losing day. - Yeah, they suck, they suck beyond belief. What do you got Rico? - Well, I said A and M, I don't want, yeah, I don't want to be, LSU is one of those teams, I don't want to be on. - All right, last game, night game as well. Dave, your game, Michigan, Michigan State. Michigan's mind is 14. - Don't like a side in it, love the over. Love, love, love the over, 47 and a half. The quarterback is a run and bumbling, stumbling guy for Michigan State. They put up points at USC. They did okay a little bit for a bit. I think they put up points. Michigan's getting better offensively. It's a low total. I don't like the side. 14 and a half is a lot in rivalry game, but I like, I like 47 and a half the over. - I do too, just because Michigan State's defense is bad. - Yes. - They are bad. What do you got, Rico? - I'll take the over as well. - Okay. All right, so let's do cards and then, and mortals. - What makes the Papa John's ultimate pepperoni pizza ultimate? The proof is in the pepperoni. And loads of it with no artificial colors, corn syrup or MSG. The ultimate pepperoni pizza. Now only $12.99 for a limited time. - Mortals, Ebo just cannot lose. He's like, he's running away with the thing. He's got, the sheet got cut off, so I don't even know where I'm going. - Yeah, can you read the records, Jack? - Sorry, Ebo's seven and one, big cat five and three, Rico five and three, Zubi four and four, Hank four and four, me three, four and one, Dave three and five. All you need is one loss, Dan, for us to get back in it. Like the one shift, if he does go to seven and two, we go to six and three, it's a race. - Yeah, it's a race. - Yeah. - I like my mortal this week. All right, Dave, what do you got? Vanderbilt again, minus two and a half against Missouri. Iowa State minus two and a half BYU. My first miss on big new kickoff. I think that holy war, we were right. They fucking hate each other. That isn't, sometimes when you're on the shows, you say like, you know, exaggeration. It may be the most hate-filled rivalry I've ever seen. The cops are breaking people up, three seconds of just showing up on set. So I think they're exhausted from that game. Iowa State's on a losing streak. Iowa State minus two and a half. Texas Tech bounces back 38 and a half against Oak State, who's terrible, they win by 70. I like Mississippi State. Keep it close at home, plus six and a half against Texas. I like Oregon minus 33 and a half against Wisconsin. A night game gets away from Wisconsin. I think again, I had Oregon last week against Rutgers. It was 50 to nothing. Five minutes into the game. I think they're gonna be on a revenge tour. And they're wearing the coolest jerseys ever. What do they got this week? - They got the Grateful Dead jerseys. - And last year, right in my face, right in your face. - Right in my face. - Last year they needed a fourth quarter comeback. They beat you. You weren't good. 16, 13 and the fourth quarter. - I think there's a chance, so Nike's doing a big collab and they have these six shoes, these Grateful Dead shoes. I think there's a chance I might have seven pairs coming 'cause so many people hit me up and were like, "You want these?" I'm like, "Yeah, I do, but it's gonna come in 100 point loss." - The over and Michigan State boy, seven and a half. A and M minus two and a half, over 47 and a half. And then I have. It looks like TCU, no, TU versus helmet. What does this say? - Oh, do you have TU, Texas? Did I already give that game yet? - Did you give this game? - I have somebody nine and a half, over 54 and a half. Oh, Ken, I'm gonna go look at the board and see what I'm gonna do. What game this is? It looks like somebody's a T on the road. - Tennessee against Kentucky. - Tennessee, Kentucky, Kentucky plus nine and a half. I don't even like that game, that's why I never mind. That's my board. - All right, I'll do mine real quick. I have Iowa State minus two and a half and with you on that. Mississippi State plus seven at home against Texas and Arch. Texas shouldn't be giving seven points on the road, especially with the cowbells. Rutgers minus two and a half, I'm gonna go reverse on two games. Memphis plus four and a half against South Florida. Memphis obviously like disaster, losing to UAB. - Fuck the over, too. - And I feel like they were maybe looking ahead. So I'm gonna take Memphis there plus four and a half. And I'm also gonna take Houston plus, I think it's seven and a half. Seven and a half at Arizona State. That was just, I mean, that's just a basic rule of like, if you rush the field, I'm gonna go against you the next week. I like Arizona State, love getting dilly ham, but Willie Fritz is a really good coach at Houston. They're not that talented, but he's a really good coach. All right, go ahead, Bosco. - I needed to pull Alabama's first half by apologize. North Texas minus 14 and a half first half. - That's the over under in that game. - North Texas? - Yeah, because I've been betting every North Texas over and it's my new Notre Dame and it's been working. They just-- - Six feet one and a half. - Give me the over, I don't even know who they're playing. Sixty one and a half, they just score. - Game minus 27 and a half, if the streak is going to end, which it looks like it's going to end, I have to go down with the ship, even though I said I wasn't gonna do it. - Game of the year? - No, case day plus two and a half. Virginia minus 10 and a half against UNC. SMU wake over 54 and a half. - Watch out for that UNC. They may have turned a slight. He's getting a little bit better. - Their defense got a little bit better, yeah. - I mean, they should have won that game. The guy fumbled basically in the Enzo. Alabama first half minus six and a half. Game minus 12 and a half. Oregon minus 33 and a half. Oregon first half minus 20 and a half. A and a minus two and a half. Use them plus seven and a half. - Okay, we'll go mortals. I'll start. I'm taking pit minus six and a half against NC State. Pit made the switch, their quarterback switch. I think it was like three weeks ago. The new kid is good. Pit also, their defense. They're gonna stop to run NC State when they can't run. They're not a good team. I'm gonna take pit minus six and a half. Hank. - Kind of random, but I'll be at this game so I'm taking South Carolina plus 12 and a half. - Why are you going to the game? - I'm going on a bachelor party. - Where's. - Is that South Carolina? - Hank's the new gas. - It's a bachelor party. What do you want me to do? Shout out to Zach, by the way. Big pick, I've been a big pick, I'm listening for years. - Who are they playing? - Alabama. - Alabama at South Carolina. - Oh wow. Oh wow. - I'm gonna take Alabama minus 12 and a half. - What the fuck? - I mean, you did this with Happy Valley. - Sure. - But not it's not. - That's a great thing. - That's not personal, that's just business. - It was the greatest thing you ever did. - Yeah. - Zupi. - I'm going Cincinnati minus four at home against Baylor. - Dana will be. - Dana, Dana kick it a field goal, redemption. - So legacy on the line for Mr. Beers. - Dana Beers. - Auburn invited me to kick field goals with that kid. - Oh really? - Yes, like I can't kick field goals. - And also, when are you gonna go kick field goals? - Yeah, exactly. - Is it good? - Okay, Jack. - I'll take Washington minus four and a half and then Ebo is taking Memphis plus four. - I already have it on my mind. - Rebound game. - Love it, love it. Bosco. - All right, so. - Dave, you go. - I just keep betting against these guys every single week. Keep caching my ticket like clockwork. They shouldn't be favored by seven points against anybody in the conference. I think they could lose outright again. Or it's gonna come down to the end of the game. Give me North Western plus seven and a half at Nebraska. - Yeah. Nebraska, that's another one where Matt Ruehl. - Nebraska stinks. - Matt Ruehl getting the talk about, you know, maybe Penn State, and it just. - But I mean. - Killed against men. - Killed, killed. They stink. - They're close. All right, Bosco. - So my mortal is 38 and a half team total, Oregon points, Oregon's points team total over 38 and a half. But I haven't asked, Dave. The money from the Kurt game, five grand. Will you put that on a Oregon minus 37 and a half team total? - The money from the Kurt basketball game, which I didn't remember about. - I'm looking for a bomb. You took a bomb. You've done game of the years like Oregon said. Do you want me to place the 5,000 that we owe you on, or yeah, I don't mind doing that. I mean, it goes to payroll, so it's a little bit less. - All right, then no, no, no, then no. Then if it gets hairy like that, then that's fine. If don't add complications to it, I thought it was one of the envelopes. that's fine then don't you can still bet it whatever it is you should just do it do it all right yeah Oregon minus 30 30 Oregon team told Oregon team told all right you got to take it down to 37 and a half inside that football number wait it's minus 135 oh so that can't be your mortal I said the I did say you could rewind the tape for the show 38 and a half but if I'm betting this money okay I totally forgot about that it's all right yeah I want I want the bomb I need the bomb to start carrying me through so let's okay well so that's your yeah I can't help you because then you want a big change at Wisconsin yeah I don't I can't be a change I can't that's that is that is that's just the most fucked up Bosco logic on just let it slide like that he's actually helping you by betting against Wisconsin right and also that his mortal he has a mortal but he also wants to bet a bomb on buying a point I mean like if it's your mortal that's your best football guy by the way by the way I just so you know I cannot put that in till Friday so if it changes change because I'm in Florida okay so just buy it to 37 and a half even though it's his mortal at 38 like who I don't know what it'll be come Friday but that's all I'll text you before I do it that's much yeah okay okay all right there's also a I need the roster that team there's a very real possibility that like at the gun it goes to first half or it goes to 33 and a half as well I love all three I can't decide which one I love the 33 like he texts me hey here's what it's at you want me to click submit and I'm like first half or like I get to get a roster I get a text me get me the roster I don't because I don't remember saying that all right five green I want to fire okay all right love that fire love that I mean it's gonna be yeah Wisconsin thank you for for for bearing us deeper I appreciate that you want to change I mean it's not gonna happen they've already said it's not gonna spin zone you could also win 50 to 42 that's not off the table what all I got to do is hit the team total you can still win the game I'm not necessarily betting against you I'm betting Oregon scores a lot of points yeah I don't have you have you watched Wisconsin yeah I'm just saying I'm just saying all right they're so I'll text you on Friday all right all right good show boys going duckies see you see it
