Okay, week eight, pick 'em. Boys, Rico, any funerals? We good? Yeah, we're good then. What, I just asked. You didn't go. Yes, I did go. I wait for you. Two minutes. That's a lot. Sure. Okay. I got a question right off the top. I think where I think too many things are being called gotcha culture at this point. I was watching back pick 'em from last week and you showed up in a suit and tie and Dave and we, and I think Dave said like, why are you wearing that? You go, it's, whoa, it's gotcha culture now. No, I don't think I said about that. That's a question. I didn't say it about that. I don't think. Did I? I don't know, but it feels like asking questions becomes gotcha culture. If we are going to go back to gotcha culture because I just see a clip where he's like, come on, dude, hey, dude, I never asked for anything to be cut out. That is. I mean, you have asked for no less than 3,497 things to be cut out. I mean, we went through a time period where you would ask for entire chunks to be cut out every single episode. Yeah, back in the day, probably. That's accurate. Back in the day, you're right. Yeah, you got to live in your sense. How are you doing, Rico? Because I just, I was laughing because I was just like, it was, I can't remember the exact phrasing, but it was like, everything's gotcha culture now. I got listen, we got to find the gotcha culture everywhere. Do you think maybe there's a gotcha culture show in the works that we could do? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. It's got to be something. Okay. All right. So why? What? No, I'm just, I'm asking men honor off the meds. Still off, but a little bit more self-breathing maybe. Okay. Good. Just maybe you show up to like people's work and like, you know, like people can complain about their co-workers. Then you show up and you're just like gotcha culture, like cut it out. I don't know. Just an idea. All right. So off the meds, how's, how's your week going, Rico? How, how's, oh, where we at with the 40th birthday guy? Back, I guess. I mean, cold off a little. Yeah. Why? What's the smell? I'm asking. I haven't talked to them. Yeah. It's, yeah. Backed off a little bit. Okay. I mean, look, I'm just asking. I brought some things to the show. Sorry. You can bring anything to show you got anything. Well, I have to last week. No, I don't have anything. No, yeah. I was on the text with Dave. Dave was like, I wanted on record. I was provoked. I was like, he was. That's accurate. Yeah. I mean, that's a cold like it is. So I did. I kept poking the bear and he was like, Dave was like, ace up his sleeve. So that's how it works. But yeah, I do think he was genuinely trying to look out for me. But in that, is that birthday party going to need like TSA? No, we'll behave. We'll behave. We'll behave. We'll behave. So you're going to go to the birthday party, but not cause a problem. Yeah, it's being, I'm still, I still haven't officially RSVPed, but we're working on it. That's, is he covering your costs to get there? No. Hotel room, the hotel rooms, yes, but not the transportation. Okay. Okay. Um, Dave question for you. Is sure on more the guy? Well, we're going back to work this week, Dan. So that's, that's what you got to do. You got to, you get your ass whooped. You got to put on the car heart jacket and get serious. That was, uh, I feel like it works with Harbaugh because Harbaugh is a psycho and he's had the history of building a program. He's had the history of like, when he puts on the blue collar jacket, there's something about it where it's like, he's not joking. He's not, it's, it's authentic. He, he, it's just authentic. Sure, I'm putting it on felt a little like Halloween was happening and he's trying to, he's trying to, you know, dress up like Harbaugh used to be in the big bad Michigan. Gotta go to work. That's something that Bosco would say, you know, put it behind you. We're onto Washington as Bella checking his prime would say, I, I am not going to declare him the guy. There's a lot of people in Michigan circles. I think who believe he is not the guy. I think it's too early, but I will say this. And I know, uh, Blutman rants about it. I happen to agree with it. You, you, you have to make decisions. There's no, I'm not there yet. I want to see the rest of the season play out. We, I think the quarterbacks are very good. I hate to play calling, but if, if you believe he's not the guy, there's no point in waiting around, like even the Patriots, the Patriots with, uh, Jorod male, like hired him, fired him really quickly and they got the guy. They got variable and it turned everything around like that. So I, I want to see how this year plays out, but I need to see improvement. And I don't know what happens if we do the same exact thing that we do every year with him or last year, which is stink and then beat Ohio State. I mean, if he doesn't beat Ohio State, I'm probably at he's not the guy already mode. But if he keeps thinking and then beat Ohio State, then it's a confusing situation. That would be, that would be something. If he just never loses Ohio State, but keeps going like nine. Because in a weird way, then I just, it's like, okay, I can kind of live with that. Like if we don't win, if we go O and 10 and then beat Ohio State every year, I can talk my talk. I can do that. I can, I can kind of live with that. Yeah, he allows you. Yeah, you can't go all in 10 and then lose to Ohio State and have nothing, but like we still have that. So it's not good. And it wasn't just that we lost to USC because I certainly thought we could lose to USC. It was, I mean, we got dominated. So that that was a problem. It is frustrating watching your like the play calling your play call. And but that is how hardball called plays. But he got away with it because they were so much better than everybody and they were, they dominated the line. They got away with it. This team isn't there and you got to adjust. Also, you see the kids arm and you see some of the playmakers you have at wide receiver in these little flashes. It's like, hey, let's let's let it out. Let's let's let's open it up a little bit. They they they don't believe in play action pass for some reason. They don't believe in maybe throwing on downs that you think they're running, which makes it hard for anybody to throw in third and eight, third and nine, third and 10. And they're doing a whole hell of a lot of it. So this is the longest. Is the guy? I'm not going to say he is the guy. I'm not going to say he's not the guy. I'm going to say if he stinks this season and loses to Ohio, we got an issue. If he stinks, if he stinks this season and beats Ohio again. He bought some time. If he keeps doing that I'd never get rid of him. Yeah. Yeah. I did like your clip after Where you're like the problem is Sharon talks all this shit and then he left and then I start talking all this shit And then we came back up the shit That is the problem for you. Yeah, Sharon talks a lot, right? He likes ox a lot. I mean you go into the call see me like we're only here This sold out because of us and this and then it's like up he throws on a the car heart jacket and forgets about it I can't I'm in it because you used to you used to take your cues from Harba where Harba at the end like especially You could really tell when he thought he had it like yes, you could you could kind of read the tea leaves of like it's this is going to be a no doubter and Now you're in a different world with Sharon where you have to kind of guess like is he talking shit because he's just talks or is he Talking shit because he's gonna win he also coaches I and in my opinion and like some of these losses like he's just trying not to lose by 40 right It's you're down to scorzing a run in the ball in the fourth quarter. It's like what are you doing? So yeah Okay, Sharon was very funny though. I know it was brutal for you obviously, but I thought you did that was very funny some of the stuff Well, it's stuff you watch the whole thing you were two did You're waiting to see if it's oh, yeah, oh, yeah All right there. Oh, what I'm just saying goddamn it. Come on. Well, we can have yeah I mean I had three TVs going like in terms of the broadcast Which one has sound none of them. I thought that what I thought Dave's broadcast had more like intrigue He's it's the funny stuff going on. It's a Michigan fan commenting on his team. That's what I was watching Fuck you, Dan. Oh, what the fuck come on my master Dan. Come on. Why someone's got to make a show here You didn't bring anything to a Rico all these years you thought I was the pledge master Someone's got to make a show all right fine. You know we'll do our picks. I'll be on the Tennessee Like they can be I'm just saying you brought it. Yeah, I just said all right It also like I mean, I know you can reference. There's things you can reference then again like during the week or Right, you watching the first class. Did you know about the first class list? Didn't have a clue What what you think I'm on it. Well, you're clearly not I read the list. Oh, yeah, I ain't on it Not I know I read the list. Yeah, all right. So I wouldn't know about it. I don't know much shit that list is being dismantled There is no first class list if people on fly first class you can ask I didn't know that list existed either people are taking At the wrong Francis it's taking totally wrong way this is like I Didn't know that list existed. I don't know where it came from why it came from maybe the Breonna thing was a true story That that's where it's like why she flying in the back of the plane when she was making a ton of money for the company That that may have prompted it, but I didn't know like there was an actual like this person fly This is all brand new to me. I think it's older than that honestly. I think I thought it was I I didn't know there was a list I thought it was a Pen like Erica decision like when we became more Corporate there's an element. There's an element of I think like our bookers and our Sometimes people don't use their brains. So it's like It was to take that decision away from them possibly I knew I knew there we went on a flight made it into the Super Bowl And there was a bunch of people on first class which some of them weren't on the first class list so I I was just confused but I was way in the back and I was like How are those people on first class and someone told me there was a list our company is overall very confused It's like if you make money for the company fly first class if if you don't you probably shouldn't but like overall They have that many people do you know how much money that like cost to like fly the difference between like it's Thousands and thousands of thousands of dollars my guess if you ask people you can fly in the back of the boat or first class a lot of people But you get the money. I bet I'll be like give give me the money. So you know that that's kind of crazy So when I'm going down the list and looking it's like obviously the PMT crew Makes money so it kind of starts there for play people are confused with that. I'm sure we'll talk about this on Unnamed for place sort of operates as an independent Business not like they have if they want to fly first class it comes out of their budget Right and then like so yeah, it's up to them. That's not me It does it. It's it's it's there. It's their kind of budgets Francis Maddy's like oh, I didn't know for put but that's where it's a little weird because as I understand it a Francis flying first class. I do not believe comes out of the first out of the four-play budget because I don't think he's actually like in Their whole setup. So that's a little different So sass screwed it for them for everyone Yeah Sass get on the I'll just say this Should sass now be the only person on the first class list because he saved everyone it's so much you saved Personal so much money like I'm just saying like if he saved us thousands I think he should get a medal of honor and be the only first class list person That's like the IRA. I heard if you like report somebody you get a 10% of whatever they bring in We have a wildly spoiled company like when we travel to other places the Super Bowl Whatever you talk to these other companies. There are a list talent isn't flying first class. Yeah Like it it we just live in a delusional spoiled brat world and it's like everyone wants more money everyone wants more money for the contracts Everyone wants more money for the bonus everyone wants this that and everybody wants to fly first class and it's like all right Well, this all costs money like I don't know what you guys what world you live in so yeah the first class list Which I did not know existed is going to be dismantled. It doesn't mean nobody can fly first class ever again, but it's like It's you're not there's not just this hard and fast list people getting mad or or where I was I was like Okay, I've seen me it's like well, Kev see doesn't have some huge money maker So and I don't even think he travels but when I was looking at the list I'm just going down. I know they make money. No that that was what was going through my head Yeah, but I didn't know the list existed So this is done what you didn't you skirt it around the question get sassy The only person on the list so the sassy man was sass kind of travel first class. There's own private comedy shows Yeah, call duty league Call a duty league Wait, can we go back to Rico kid? Why are you mad at me first pointing out that you definitely were listening to Dave stream on full volume because you were Expecting you might come up. No, why are you mad?

I didn't even watch it. I was just going by Clearly the numbers tell you the show as a disaster. It wasn't a personal attack on anybody anybody with a brain can be like Well, it started this and it has one percent of the audience that showed in work Yeah, I think you go if you go back to healthy debate when you said yeah, it's time to change it up It's and like and then pull the plug there wasn't much pushback in terms of crying and whining if you do walk back that tape Hey pick them listeners.

That's a deep cut. Who are we talking about Let's do these clubhouse nearly boy. He takes pictures of People in their girls. Oh, I didn't once. Yeah, what and post Post in it. Yeah, on Viva acting like it was that I didn't anything to do with Whatever, but it's alright beach house gang, but we became a gang What? He would just like through there was a point where he was like just Taking people's personal Instagram stories and just like blasting on Viva It's kind of weird. He did it to me. It was a little weird He blasted your personal story. Hey, well, it's so interesting about your personal stuff. That's how I felt What was it? I forget exactly what it was, but it was a very it was one of those things where you see like that that doesn't like a lot of things Go on Viva and that felt like a weird it was like You don't you and you have no idea it was a while ago. I I I could maybe he stopped he stopped doing that. Yeah, he was told to yeah Who's bikini picture you post like how do you know this? This is what I'm saying like and then he gets David and then he gets mad at me And then he gets mad at me and then he gets mad at me for saying oh, did you have volume on high on James Yes, you did I got - Oh my God, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I got miffed. - I mean, Rico, it's okay. You're literally like, you are back. You are like last week's episode of Pickham was one of the best we've ever done. I'd put that down as like, hey, what's Pickham? That would be like maybe the fifth episode and be like, gotta watch this. It was great, you're back. It's okay to embrace it. Like you're fucking, you're watching Dave Stream with full volume while you've got a full college slate. On your off time, you're rewatching Survivor for the 7,000 time. You're talking about someone on our social team posting a bikini picture six years ago that we have no idea about it. You are back. Don't get upset about it. Me calling it out. - Appreciate it. - Dave, you're back. - Like this is, this is vintage Bosco. Rewatching, surviving. - Yeah, but Wednesday night. - Right. - But not causing call crashes left and right. He's still driving like a maniac. But there's no call crashes. - Yeah. - I'm putting all my mind to one thing. Just be successful. - Okay, so who's bikini picture any post? - I don't know. I don't know. - You do know. - He definitely knows. - I don't know, I don't know. I'm a drag them in. I'm not dragging them in. - You 100% know. - What drag who in? So you're saying the bikini picture was posted, the person in the bikini complained? - No. - So you could play it on behalf of them? - The way the story was told to me was that he was reprimanded. Don't do that. - So some okay. And then I filed that one all the way to the back of the mind. And then when you walked in down the new book - So someone was walking out of the book. - Takes a left inch of your cube and just unloads information, company secrets to you. That's how it goes. - No, there's things that pass through every once in a while. - Yeah, that was one I put in the back of the bookmark. - I don't even know who nearly boy is. Does he work for us full time? - Yes, he does. - He has just reupped for years. - That's probably why Bosco, Bosco's hoping the ink's not dry. That's why he brought that up. He just posted that he reupped and Bosco's hoping, hey, maybe this didn't fully go through yet. We can stop the presses. Maybe he could be Rico's social guy in the spring break. - Not a bad idea, Jack Mack. - Oh, good call. - Not a bad idea, Jack. - I get you, Vito Rico. - Well, let's, let's, Jack, let's day fare his fare. Let's check, Jack, social calendar. He got anything in April that he's trying to send people to so he can go, go nose down a couple of places. Can we check that? Let's check that. - I'd be happy. - You got anything going on in April? - I'd be happy to attend. - February, February, February, February. Sorry, February, February. You got anything going on in February? - No. - Okay. - All right, so maybe Jack Mack will be Rico's social guy. - I like that. - I do think you need no neutral social guys though. - Well, you just requested him, so I don't hate that. Jack Mack will be Rico Bosco's social guy. - I have to be happy to follow Rico around. - There we go. That's locked and loaded. - Oh, that's great. - Bosco, that's a good, thank you. - That's a good suggestion. - Good suggestion. - We are. - Good suggestion. - Oh, this is gonna be awesome content. - Awesome content. - All right. What else? (laughing) - What's the cast look like? What are you thinking? - I think we will have the return of Nikki Smokes, Ella, Katek. Those will be the only returning cast members so far. You, we made that Donny Doich guy is in the next-- - Ryan Doich, she's gonna be there. - Yeah, oh yeah. - Oh yeah, I called him last night. I told him, "Hey, this is what we're gonna do." - So he's gonna be in the next fucking mix. - Yeah, and maybe a couple strangers, maybe to do. We'll see. - Yeah. - I mean, we gotta at least take a look. - Yeah. - For none. - We don't want it. The reason I'm not gonna run back the exact same cast I got to boring, right? - Yeah. - So like, we don't need like, Danny and Jackie like dating and shit like that. - It's like a couple back, yeah. - Yeah, so those, I haven't decided in Antica. I don't know if Antica and Nikki are good or bad together. Yeah, she's a bubble player, I guess. But definitely, Nikki, Ellen, Katek are in. You're in, that's, in Deutsche, I think, are the five that we're looking at so far. - It's good squad. - Still out, round out, three more still. - That's good squad. Really good squad. All right, Rico, do you have anything else before we do some picks, talk some college football? - I like how this show, I mean, this is, this is how you know you're on a heater. This show went from Dan being like, fuck you, Alabama Tennessee under to a slew of topics. So that's how it works here. - Well, listen, I was, Dan, it's a compliment. - I know, no, no, no, what I was gonna say was, sometimes this show, it's like, you gotta, you gotta kinda like pull the thing on the lawnmower to get it started. So I pulled a couple times. There wasn't anything starting and now we're, now the engine is running and we're, we haven't picked the exact location bus. Go any spring break spots that you're partial to? - No, I never, never went. So. - Well, good, you get to live out your dreams. - It's the first time, yeah. - Dude, that's gonna be so sick. Pawsco, you with like a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds? - What do you guys think, what do you guys think of the AAC? - You guys make self-flart of things. - Oh, we got, go challenge is getting going. - Can we at least get, like, can we at least make sure that the house has like one TV so that Pawsco doesn't, 'cause like there's gonna be probably a big game or something. Maybe wherever we are, they do a family, a group outing through a college hoops game. We get a suite. - Oh, man, that would be sick. What's out there in the schedule in February? - I don't know if that's off my head, but they only, they would be, yeah, I mean, I don't know how far, they only flour to school, wait, hold on. I make sure I'm not afraid. - Vegas is certainly an option. Panama City is an option. Can't coon. - Need the passport, get the passport, find it up. - All right, okay. - I think at the end of this end, we'll, that'll be a good bonus feature. We'll call my wife at the end. (laughing) - I love it. - That's gonna be a good, we'll put it behind a bay wall. - Make it a fucking little extra feature. - Okay. - On tiered. - Yeah. - What? - You volunteered. - Yeah. - You said the team, the team, the team. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And any point, and any point, they could cut your minutes. So the guy's gonna give you minutes right now. - Acom. - Right. - Make the most of those minutes. - Posco, you did something I would not do. Like Dave, I do not want to be on the spring break house. - Me neither. - Right. So credit to Posco. He's, he went out of the three of us and stepped up. - Remember, and he did say genuinely, where he's like, listen, you know, like you would be good. It's not, it's a punishment or a against your will on throwing you down there. - That's a fact. - Like yes. - Funny to mix it up, like you look at the cast. - I think you'd be very good. - Me, Nikki and Kate, it is a fucking, you know, that's a good little run right there to build off of. - You could even like, you know, spring or break when he went down there, he hopes it could be Bosco break. - Yeah. - You could be like, hosting a bunch of different, like bikini contests and stuff. - The Dante role of like the old head. You will be in your, you will be very, very good. You're, I mean, you're an entertaining guy on camera. - Wait, is the, is the dawn not on the, on the, oh well, the dawn, it's up to the dawn. The dawn has not asked to go. So I'm not forcing him, like, I sent out that, I sent that company email. I said, anybody interested, let me know. He, I haven't heard from him. - No chance. - Basically, the entire cast wanted to run it back, which is not gonna happen. - No, you can't do that. - But if he wants to go. - I think we'd let the dawn go. - He's good. - Yeah, dawn is good. Yeah, he definitely has a dawn Bosco, Rico. - Oh, we'll be fun. Okay, any, any other, any other business, anything else? I'll leave the carabas stuff for unnamed. - Sure. - Yeah. - What'd you say? - No, I'm so afraid to ask. Anybody got anything else? What do we got? - I'm afraid to ask if anyone's got anything else. Who knows, you never know the way this show's going. - Jackie got anything else? - Sadly, I didn't know. - Okay. - All right, well, let's, let's do some picks. Let's talk some games. - Hey, pick 'em listeners. We're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. - Being lucky, you should be. Meet the new lucky one, Sweet Tea, from Miss Peaches. The vodka drink that's positively doing good, made with real tea and real vodka, non-carbonated, the 100 calories. And here's a scoop.

So if you love true Sweet Tea, this one's a no-brainer. Pick up a lucky one, Sweet Tea today, and give back one can at a time. - All right, now back to the episode. - Week eight, sorry. So Dave is in first, 51%, I'm at 50.7, Rico's 42.6%, Ebo's in first and Bob Diacco, six and one, I'm five and two, Zoopies, four and three, Hank's four and three, Rico's four and three, Jack, Mac is three, three, and one, Dave is two and five. I had a terrible week, I got fucking killed. I'm actually gonna take a little step back this week. Go lightning card. 'Cause I need, it was one of those weeks where I could not. not catch a single break, a single game I needed. And so I'm taking my like little refresher week where it will be like 15 plays is tough to watch that Auburn game and Georgia quarterback get yelled at for not sliding. Yeah. That and then Auburn got so fucked with the they should have been up 17 nothing. The fun. I know everyone's talk everyone's talking about like the time out in the clapping was so brutal. Indiana was insanely impressive. That was really good. And they're really good. They could they could they could win the national title. They're very good. I have. I am trying to think. So if you're this was the kind of the question I had to like big picture. If you're making a pyramid of teams right now in college football Ohio State is at the top of the pyramid. But I don't think the levels below or that much like it's really far between that next level. I also think there's a lot of teams in that two three level that are all really interchangeable. It's gonna be a very if everything stays chaotic as it seems like it's going to be a really really entertaining playoff again. You know, like I don't think Ohio State is their defense is unbelievable. I don't think they're heading shoulders above everybody. Maybe we don't know enough yet. Like I don't know. There's a lot of just good teams. I think this playoff is going to be really entertaining. You know, Ohio State, you could argue hasn't played anybody, but they they in the last week was their least impressive performance in Illinois. I don't know. I mean, they're clear one. Indiana is very good. I still think Oregon could be heard from before this is said and done. And then I think you got a lot of teams just like what you're saying. I think the SEC is all very close and mush together. You get a big 10 teams in the middle mush together. Texas Tech, my top five, I think there's a clear top five. And then now will they stay that way? But the five teams that I would say are well deserving of the top five. And then there's a gap is and we never mentioned on mute. We don't know, but we haven't mentioned yet. You have Ohio State Miami, Indiana, Texas, A&M and Texas tech. Those are five teams to me that I think you can argue can be to anybody right now. I below that, I don't think there's anyone. I'd get I'd get album a pretty close into there. I'm not sold on them. I think that everyone is, you know, that week one got everyone off Thai Simpson is so good. That's my husband pick. I only put 10 grand on it. But well, I know that's a lot, but not a lot for how much of that. But, uh, yeah, I don't, I don't see it. I'm not crazy impressed by them. Um, I mean, A&M has been fucking wildly impressive. They're undefeated. They're beating good teams. They're beating them easily. They beat Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame, Notre Dame is going to be in the playoffs. I think we're going to win out and I think Notre Dame tough to say to loss it. But Notre Dame, I think it beat anybody. So, you know, by the way, I will push back a little Ohio State like, they have beaten, they bought, they beat Texas, they beat Washington. Washington is six and one or five and one. And because they lost to Ohio State and the way they lost to Ohio State, everyone's like Washington sucks. If Washington was in the SEC in five and one, you know, they'd be right. Well, I agree with that point. If you've said, if Washington put on Georgia colors or Alabama colors and was playing the same football Tennessee, everyone would be blah, blah, blah. Yes, they lost badly to us. They fine. But they also were down, they came back, but they get what by Maryland for like, almost entirely. Yeah, they won, but they won. Yeah. No, I, let's say I think why, well, they're six point hundred dogs versus us this week, which I think is a bit big. Yeah. I would agree. Um, and then obviously James Franklin getting fired. That was crazy. How fast that all unraveled. Like, I think we all knew it could unravel, but had the speed of which it went downhill insane. There are no overtime versus Oregon. They're going to be arguable in number one, two team in the country, a favor for the national title. He's secure as can be. He's all wrapped up in his mic. It's nice and toasty. And then he's gone. Right. Dan, Dan, you know a little bit more about this. I was with Dave. Dave said this to the, the buyout money is to protect the school from him, taking a bigger job. And then it's also to, and then it's counter, it protects the coach. If he does get fired like that, like how to, like, I'm with Dave, the buyout, the fact that buyouts get this crazy, I never fully understood how we got to this where there's 50 million dollar buyouts because every single time a big job comes open, the agents, mostly Jimmy Sexton call up and they say, Hey, this guy's like, you saw last year when Sabin retired or what two years ago, right, Sabin retires. Jimmy Sexton calls up. He has, I don't know, 20 of the top coaches in the country. And he says, Hey, my guys take a call from Alabama. We should probably rework the deal. And you know, it's, it's the whole thing is, it's, it's nuts. There shouldn't be these buyouts. Like, they're nuts, but they're all scared of losing guys. And then yeah, I don't, I don't get how you can lose the guy in the contract. Oh, that makes no sense to me. Well, them leaving. How can they leave if they're under contract? Right. But isn't there a buyout? Like if Penn State wants a higher Indiana isn't, though they have to buy out. Yeah, they got a pay. They got to pay Indiana the rest of that money. Yes. Yeah. But, but, but, but all right. So let's say they want to sign that he's under contract. And in Indiana, just, no, he's under contract. Why can dignity leave for Penn State unless he has written into his contract? I can break my, like, that seems illegal. Like why can you say? Yeah. No, I agree with that. I don't like immediately baseball or pro sports. If a guy's under contract and the Patriots are like, I want that guy. That guy can't just be like, all right. I'm going to go like what? I don't get it. It's convoluted business. Yeah. No, I agree with you. That doesn't really make much sense at all. Yeah. And then yeah, I don't like I could see you in the end of being like, all right, we'll entertain it. If you want to pay us hundreds of mill, whatever. And, but that's an negotiation. They're like, we'll let you. Why do you need it prewritten? It seems like he can't leave. He's on a 10 year deal. He's with us for 10 years. You want him? Well, this is how much we take for him. You could be like, nothing. You could be a billion dollars. But I don't know why it's like pre unless these coaches, it's more. I think these coaches, I don't know how we've gotten here, but it's just standard practice in this industry. That's what you do, which seems insane. Like it's not with athletes. Like NFL, you cut guys gone. Yeah, I guess the counter argument would be like, you, I mean, you wouldn't have that in the real world at all. Like where a contract is just like, you can't get out of your contract ever talent business. We do talent ESPN that like tab as they could leave. Yeah, but you can't go to like a competitor. Like, like, like Scott Vampell, Scott Vampell can't be like, uh, Fox just offered me way more. I'm leaving ESPN going to Fox. But that does happen. Does it not? No. Contracts end. And they know it. No. Non-competes though are hard to like, aren't they hard to keep anyway? I mean, there's different, different rule, like rules on it. But in a talent, it doesn't happen. Yeah. All right. Someone explained it to me online. I don't really understand it either. Like even, even, even we've talked to different, like, if we just want to be able to go, we sign contract with this advertiser, they're offering us more. And we can't do that. Yeah. Right. We're right. I see what you're saying. Um, I was thinking more of your contracts ending. But yeah, it is weird. The whole thing is weird. How it all works and how much these guys are getting paid to not work. And it's, it's crazy. James Franklin, I don't know if you saw, I offered him a $1 job on the screen. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Because he needs the supposedly he has to make an honest effort to go get works so they don't have to pay the contract or it would eat into what they're paying. Right. So he's making, if he wants to make an honest effort, he can come and, and clean the, clean the ice cream machine. I'll give him a shift. His shift is one day a year. Yeah. I mean, the flip side is as much as we say, it's awesome. I do think, like I'd be happy. I think a lot of the things that drive these nutcase football coaches, they don't want to be fired. They don't, they don't want the money to like go sit on their ass unless your coach. Yeah. And also there is, and again, it's, it's, you know, $50 million for James Franklin. There is the other part of all his assistants are mostly going to get fired too. Those guys are not making $50 million. Those guys make pennies. I mean, how many assistants and they have moved their families from Vanderbilt and, yeah, that's where, how many, I mean, you've probably got a staff of like 30 or 40, right? Like, so, you know, like, you know, whether it be coaching staff, but also like personal assistants, guys, you know, something might stay, but a lot of them will probably have to go find another job. So one of my, one of my former college coaches is on that step. That explains a lot. Oh, okay. It's not nice. But it was crazy. It was crazy. All right. Should we, should we, should you do some games? Yeah. All right. Here we go. We have five ranked on ranked matchups this week. Great card. Dave, you'll be in Provo for the Holy war. Holy war. Are you, that's going to be awesome. That's going to be very exciting. You know, it's very fun. The box did call, they're like, it was too late. It's like, they'll help pay for you guys to bring the whole show here. They want Barstle here. The caveat, there's no swearing in the show. - All right, all right. - It's how he did. - No, no. - Also very funny that like, I am not going, 'cause we're not going as a show, but I did, I wonder what the reaction is going to be if you talk shit about Cosmo. I had some people mad. - Yeah, I think they take Cosmo, sir. I mean, listen, I'm sure Cosmo's going to be a big part of the show, Cosmo's a big part of what they do. - Yeah, yeah, you'll definitely be introduced to Cosmo. - Oh, 100%. I saw last year when they this show, he was like, he was a center, like, you know, I have those podiums. He was doing his thing on the podium. - Yeah, yeah, I did, it's crazy. I did have one thing from last week, Dave, in terms of that big new, and that's what reminded me. You met the mop guy at Michigan? - I did. - Coach Church. - Yeah. - How'd that go? - He's like, I was the guy Rico was talking to when I, he was holding the mop. I go, you know, that guy goes, yep, I was pretty much it. - All right, it's good combo. Faradah and combo. I thought there was more. Austin text me, he's like, we met the mop guys. I go, okay, I thought I was going to do that. - Yeah, that's how it went. - He said Michigan would be top five. Preseason would be firing for us. - Yeah, I think they're being slept on, but they're very talented. They got a big one two weeks against St. John's. - No, that's not big one. - That's not big one. - Scrimmage. - That's definitely not big one. - Scrimmage? I'm saying like in terms of, yeah, I hope it's, that's a good test. - Well, it's not a big one. A scrimmage, that scrimmage. - Well, it's a big test to see where you're at. When are you getting out to Provo? They got the one of the best freshmen in the country. - Kid, the-- - Flying out Thursday night. - You want to see the basketball hoops? You want to see the court? - Kid's unbelievable. - I'm going to be number one in the draft next year. - You want to see the court, Dave? We can get you hooked up. - Yeah? - Yeah. - Basketball? - I'll make a call. Yes, I'll hunt down. If you want to go to practice, I will hunt people that BYU is not right now in my circle, but I can get there. - All right, let's get it. - Do what you can do for me. - Yeah, let's get it. - She said see what we can do with form. - All right. - Love that. - All right. - Work on it. - I'll work on it. - I'll work on it. - Friday, I'd like to meet this kid. He said, "I'm one kid in the draft." - He's gonna be, yeah. - He's a man. - He's a man. - He's a man. - I'd say he's a man. - Born me. - The bandsta. - He went to high school in Utah. - What does that mean? - So you don't know the answer to the question. You just say, "I don't know." - I don't know what he did. - He just said, "I don't know." - He answered right now. - Well, listen, it didn't. If he-- I'm narrowing it down. If he went to high school in Utah, - That means narrowed it down a little bit. - He just said, "I don't know." - I would have said, "I don't know." - He went Utah to BYU, but there's a lot of non-mormons in Utah. - Yeah, that's true. - I don't know. - Just say the words, "I don't know." I guess what? It's okay to not know if the fucking number one pick is Mormon or not. I don't fucking know. - His first time at a Latter-day Sage Church, he tweeted was in May, so I don't know if that's-- - That would seem like no then. - Right. - Can you set up a one-on-one for this kid for me? - I don't know if I could set up a one-on-one. - Why not? - But that means he-- - I don't know with schedule. - I don't know the practice time. I don't know if they're traveling for a scrimmage. I will work on it. - That's what I can do. I will work on it. - I can help you, Rico. - He grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts. - You guys love gonna talk about it. - Oh, did? - Yes. - I can help. - Saints of Bastion, Scoot, you know him, you know him, Hank? - No, but I can help. I think I can get to someone that does pretty easily. - Who? - I don't know. I don't give a much-- - You can't reveal sources. - I don't know him though. - That's good. - I know. - Donny, donny. - No. - No. - Wait, he, he went to, yeah, he went to high school in Utah for one year. - Right. - So he's-- - I know he's, yeah. - Probably not more me. - Probably not. - Probably not. - BYU probably gave him the most money. - Yeah. - Don't they have crazy money now? - They got money. - Yeah. - They're gonna be very good. There's a big Mormon community in Brockton now. - For real? - No. - No. - Shows off the rails. - Okay, all right, here we go. So you're gonna set that up. So I am going to work on that. And I know Jack's probably got a fucking heart on back to Ebbe and like, wait, there was a wall through. I said, I will do my best to work on the meeting. - No scrimmage this weekend, so he's open. Okay. - Dave, congratulations. - That's a picture of you. - Oh, love that. Dave, congratulations. - I'll take him on picture of you. - I'm doing a pizza review with the future number one pick. - Thank you. - Yeah, that's huge. Okay, LSU of Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt minus two and a half, over under 48 and a half. Who wants to start? - I think Vanderbilt's almost the class of the ACC outside of the ANM. I was impressed with the way they played against Bama. I think they bounced back in this game. I love Vanderbilt here. Love, love, love, love, love. Okay, I'm gonna take Vanderbilt as well minus two and a half. I'm also gonna take the over 48 and a half. I don't think Vanderbilt can, I think finally LSU will be able to throw the ball a little bit against a Vanderbilt defense that can be thrown on a little bit. Rico, I like Vanderbilt as well. I thought Brandon had a decent point. Like, Pavia could still get back into that. Highsman take, I don't love LSU. I like Vanderbilt. I'm gonna take Vanderbilt at home here minus the two and a half. - Okay. Oh, Mr. Georgia, Georgia minus seven and a half over under 54 and a half. - I was not asleep on how bad. Oh, Mr. last week. Let's not sleep on how bad Ole Miss was. 33 point favorites against Mississippi State. They squeaked by that game. And that's my point with the entire SEC that, yeah, I know you had to look at. I have no idea what's gonna happen. You guys go first, I'll listen, but I have no, I'm not, I don't know. - Yeah, okay. So I saw last week coming, also Lane calling out the student section. I was like, oh, wow, this is a fiery take. Like calling out your own student section. Then I saw some of the videos of the student section. He was right. That's like, these are the type of games Ole Miss trips up. You know what I mean? So that's how I'm viewing it, Dave. As bad as last week was in the past, like last year against Kentucky, they lose the game. They actually won this time. So it was bad, but they won. I'm just not, I don't know if Georgia, Georgia's good, Georgia's not Georgia great. Seven and a half, it feels like a lot. And Georgia just doesn't scare me to like blow anyone out. So I'm gonna take Ole Miss. That's just, I just don't think Georgia has that like, absolute pound you level that they've had in the past. - I think, I don't, I think you're right on that sense, Dan. Georgia's not vintage Georgia. - Right. - I still think we talk about that pyramid. Maybe people are saying, again, 'cause it's not as shiny as yours past. Georgia, I still think it's pretty good. Lost to a really good Alabama team. I want to take Georgia on the side here. I agree with you, it's a ton of points. I'm going to take the under. I still believe in Georgia's defense and that unit has been playing pretty well. We're gonna take the under. I think Georgia wins the game. I'm not confident enough to lay the number. I'm gonna take Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Miss, Mississippi under. - I'm gonna take Georgia, but I don't talk about this in real life. I just, I'm not that old Miss. I know what you're saying, Kentucky. But like, Washington State, to me, is one of the worst things called football. So I don't get that last game at all. I know it's a look ahead, but that was, that was eye opening. I'm gonna take Georgia. - Yeah, just one of those things, like I expected it, so it didn't, it wasn't as eye opening, although I didn't expect them. I mean, I'm losing outright would have been really bad. - Washington State landed on 34. They were laying 34 on that game. Give you an idea, Penn State, Northwestern was 21, Penn State UCLA was 24, they were 33, 34 point favorites. - By the way, Washington State, I just wanna say, they're not, I think you might be confused in Washington State with the Oregon State. - No, I don't think I am, Dan. - Washington State's three and three. They're not, they're bad. But like, Oregon State is a team in those two that is, they just fired their coach. They're non-competitive, they're losing by 60. - Non-competitive, they lost to Washington, 59 to 24. They lost to North Texas, 59 to 10. - Right, but if you watched that Washington, Washington State game, Washington scored 28 points in the fourth quarter. That was a little bit closer, 'cause I remember, I think I've had Washington in that game and it was like, what's going on here? - I mean, I'm not good, I'm not good at this. - 42 to three at half time. - Yeah, go to Tessu. - Tessu's awesome. - Well, they got this much by South Florida, yeah. Their offense is awesome. - Yeah. - Well, Tessu's in the team picture of worst power four teams though, without a doubt. - I think, are they-- - Oklahoma State, are they paying their four anymore? They're not. - Oh yeah, you're right. I always lump them in, you're right, I apologize. - That's okay. - Well, yeah, I mean, Wisconsin's in that category. - Yes, Oklahoma State. - I gotta go fight with a chancellor now. But I don't even know who this woman is. - I think West Virginia's down there too, obviously. - Yellen at her all the time. She doesn't care about, she's like, what was, actually I don't want to get him in trouble 'cause I think his lawsuits doing okay. What do you say, an anti football pussy? - That's the chancellor. - No, it's what I'm saying, my own words, but we have a friend who might have used that words before. - Yeah, I know the friend is, who are you talking about? that I'm saying that - The Wisconsin chancellor is an anti-football. - Anti-football? - Yeah, yeah. I think so. I think she is. Can you call a woman a pussy? Yes. - Okay. So there you are. I just did. - The quote, you're using a quote. - I'm using a quote. I'm merely using a quote, people. - That's a quote. - That was just a quote. Okay, all right, what next game, next game, next game? Tennessee and Alabama. What a card, boys. What a Saturday. Doesn't it feel like we have, maybe it's because of the college football playoff and there's just always elimination games, but it feels like every Saturday has been loaded. Tennessee and Alabama, Alabama minus eight and a half over under 58 now. Dave, I'll start with you. - I'm taking the points. I'm taking Tennessee and I'm taking the over. I, listen, again, I've said it like 10 times. I have Tyson Simpson win the Heisman, so I was all over that 21, but I am not sold in Alabama. And I continue to say, I think the SEC has a lot of teams that are very similar. I think Tennessee gives them a good game here, so I'll take the points. - I'm not, I am a little more sold on Alabama than you are. I just ate and a half as so many points. That feels like an out, but what hasn't sold you on Alabama? It's just Florida State because I actually thought the fact that they beat Vandy and Mizzou, which is-- - Well, I don't think Mizzou's any good. And Vandy, like to me, all the shit that Diego Pavia talked and Vanderbilt beat him last year. And then Vanderbilt goes into Alabama and could it beat them? If they didn't fumble inside the five and throw an exception, to me, that's a ringing, that means Alabama is just like everybody else now in the SEC. Old Alabama wins that game by 100. They could have lost. - Okay. - But here's my counterpoint. Obviously they're not old Alabama. I'm not saying they're Sabin Death Star Alabama. Last year was very similar where they beat Georgia. That was actually at Alabama, right? That Georgia Alabama game last year. They beat Georgia and then the next week, they fall flat on their face against Vanderbilt or might have been the week after. This year, Alabama beats Georgia, so we knew they could get up for Georgia 'cause they always get up for Georgia. Then they take care of business against Vandy, take care of business at Mizu on the road. So they're not Death Star, but I do think what they've done, their body of work in the last three weeks, they're making the steps back towards that. And it's not like last year where they would have a big win and then they would go loose to Oklahoma on the road. - Yeah, I just think they're very beatable. - The one thing that makes me nervous about Tennessee is they, I don't know if you guys saw any of that Arkansas Tennessee game. I was washing back some of it and they got gashed on the ground. - Yeah, we saw it on it. 240 yards. - Yeah, it was with Big T. - It could have been a little bit of a look ahead. - Could have been, but remember Tennessee the week before that went to Mississippi State and that was a very tight game. So Tennessee's been a little, I don't know, they've been a little shaky. Eight and a half though, fucking kills me. I'm gonna take the over in this game. - Taking the over points. Yeah, over. - I lean Alabama if I had, if I'd come to head. You taught BYU, Dave, your game, holy war. BYU's plus three and a half, over under 49 and a half. - I'm taking BYU, but I don't love the game. I won't touch it. I'm just taking it strictly because the game is at BYU. - Yeah, I'm gonna take BYU too. I hate having to bet on a Bachmeier in a big game. Anywhere's 47, but it's at BYU. This just feels like one of those games. You just take the home team, doesn't it? - That's what I'm doing. Yes. - I don't know if there's stuff. - I'm very excited to see the hatred in this rivalry. - Yeah, 'cause it seems like-- - 'Cause it's real. - And it seems like a, it's hatred, but it's also maybe a little classy hatred. - No, I don't know that it is. - Well, they don't swear. - I think they're gonna swear. - I'll keep you posted on if I hear swears. - I'd like to know how many swear-- - I don't think they publicly swear, but I think they very much swear. - Okay, yeah, I like it. - I mean, I may get like a little like umpire counter thing, just every, my hair is swear. - Yup. - So I'll come back with how many swears I heard. - 'Cause if you text me at like, you know, I don't know, like 10 a.m., and you're like, "Hey, I've heard like 20 swears. I might, I might up my bed on BYU." - I'm gonna get a counter. I think I'm gonna hear swears. - It's gonna be a swear game for me. It's gonna, that's gonna decide. - I'll report back. - Okay, what's your pick here? You're taking Utah? - You're taking Utah, Stanford riders. - You're taking Utah. - Okay, last game, USC at Notre Dame. This is an elimination game. USC still has some games ahead of them, so they could, you know, there could be a world where USC wins this game and both these teams don't go to the world. - We were looking at this, yeah. USC, if they get through Notre Dame, which is a tough ask on the road, obviously eight and a half or whatever it's at, seven and a half now, eight and a half. Nebraska, at Nebraska, not, you know, can't throw a cleats on the field and win, Northwestern, Iowa, and then it gets you to at Oregon, and then UCLA who's playing better. But like USC is gonna be in the mix if they get past Notre Dame here too, Dan, as well. - Yeah. - As much as we could still lose this game and went out and they'd go. - Yes, yes, no days, right? Hold on, hold on, hold on. - No, no, no, no, no. - Yeah, they would have one big 10 loss. Yes, okay, yeah. - So the reason why I said this is an elimination game and you're right, Dave, is that Notre Dame is 100% of the limit. - Notre Dame's gonna win her elsewhere, right? - That's it. - This is their only win left. This is the only time to get a showcase win. - Right, you don't have to yell at us. That's what we just said. - Yeah, we just said that. I think it is an elimination game for USC as well because I do not think that USC is going to run the table after this game. I think they will, I think they will probably, they have to go at Nebraska and at Oregon. - They'd be in a Michigan situation. Like Michigan runs the table. - They're still in. It's just unlikely seeing what we've seen that they will run the table. - Correct. - Yeah, I think it's more like USC. I'm assuming it's not gonna run the table. They're gonna lose to one of Nebraska or Oregon. So in that respect, it is an elimination game because if they win this game, they can lose to Nebraska and Oregon. And it's still be like that. - I put a lot of respect on Nebraska's name. I'll say that. - Listen, Nebraska hasn't beaten a ranked team in 100 years. - Cincinnati's pretty good. I agree. Nebraska's kind of, they're looking, Nebraska is a control your own destiny team. - Yeah. - And Michigan smash them. - But they have some distractions with rule though. - But they have to play, they have to play at Nebraska. And now you know. - I did text, I texted Will to be like, why is your coach leaving? He said, he don't think he's leaving, but there are tornado sirens going off in Lincoln. - No. Oh no. - Am I crazy to kind of want James Franklin at Wisconsin? - Now that's a great question. - James is like this guy pick, by the way, that's my official endorsement pick. - I'm surprised you're not, he just never do it. Like if you said, my guy leaves. Sharon's fired. I would want Dillingham. - Oh, I would definitely want Dillingham, but Dillingham to me seems like a type of guy who he's, you know, from Arizona. He's Arizona state. Like he is committed to building Arizona state. - You don't, I think I could pull him out of there to Michigan. - Yeah, I mean, I would love Dillingham. Maybe he won't go to Wisconsin. No offense by Michigan from mirror. - No offense taken. I know exactly where I stand. - And he'd have this quarterback for another what, two years? - Listen. - Well, that's the thing. We were talking about this the other day. In today's NIL, and this is what Signetti did. Signetti took his JMU team, which is also is instantly good, and it helps moving forward. But you assume of Dillingham left. You take the quarterback wherever he goes, lev it, and then they're instantly good. So that's the crazy part when you take a coach. Really, if you're looking at new coaches, you should look at their team too. It's like, "All right, who can you take with me?" 'Cause if you are instantly successful, that helps you then get recruits and stay successful. - Yeah, no, I agree. I, listen, I'm realistic about Wisconsin. I am trying to, I'm trying to scratch and claw for Wisconsin to get back to a tier two big 10 team. That's our ceiling. So that's one way. - Yeah, so then I think James Franklin would be a good, great coach. - Yeah, if you tell me he wins the games, he's supposed to win, and we win nine games, I'd sign up today. - There's nothing in that contract, huh? That's like you can just go, you get fired, you go right to another big 10 team. I wonder if you forfeit everything. I am though, Jason Eck, New Mexico. He's a badger, he's got juice. I love that guy. I think they need to go with someone who understands Wisconsin and has some juice. - Yeah, yeah. Okay, so Notre Dame USC, I'll just say, 'cause Dave said his mind mortals gonna be the over in this game, 61 and a half. I don't like it. - You love mortaling, I love it. Well, I got off it and I've lost the winner in this game, I think has scored 30 plus points like nine out of 10 years. - You know what they're talking about? End in this, I just read an article today. This is like possibly this, they're not. - They're not, okay. - Well, I would be shocked. - It would have to be from USC. - And Notre Dame, is Notre Dame gonna end it? - I will, I'm taking USC plus the eight and a half. - I am higher on USC than people think. - Do you know Notre Dame's tradition with the Stanford USC thing? They always, so they set that up so that every year, Notre Dame alum and the team can go to California like right before Thanksgiving. So they do it. It's either Stanford at home early in the year, USC later in the year, or USC at home early in the year, Stanford later in the year. So I would be shocked. The article says there is a feeling of four bonding surrounding this game. However, for bonding for, for boating, yeah, you're right. Yeah, for bonding would be like, they're even getting closer, yeah, well, yeah. There is a feeling of four boating surrounding this game. However, as there aren't any more Trojan Irish game scheduled moving forward. So, I know, but the series is now in danger because of well, I don't really know, actually. So based on, unless this guy's full of shit, I did read that today because I popped on my timeline. It was like 10 USC Notre Dame games that shaped the history. My dad obviously growing up talking about that. The 55 points in a row, the green jersey game with the Trojan horse. I was in college with friends written for Notre Dame and the Bush push. Like, you know, yeah, it's, I read it all obviously, but now they're saying it might end up so. That one would shock me. I'm not saying you didn't, you don't have that would be that would suck. That would shock me. Shot suck. All right. What do you got in this game? I actually had the over as well. Also shout out, I don't know how many times it's hitting a row now. But Caitlin Clark gave me like, in week two, I'm like, she was just talking best. She's like, I just bet Jeremiah loved to score two TDs every game. He scores two TDs every single day. Yeah, he's awesome. He's awesome. Did you guys see, by the way, the people getting mad because, well, Caitlin Clark, we're gonna come spam makes sense from Iowa. But he wouldn't put on the, yeah, she wouldn't put on the Tyree's Halberton. But do you, do you guys know the story about Tyree's Halberton? Oh, I thought you meant she would, she what, no, she went to a game. They gave her a jersey. And because she was a chief occult, she wouldn't put on a court. That, that she did, but then Tyree's Halberton. So they were showing like, you know, Tyree's Halberton rooting for the Cubs too. And I guess I don't know if this is exact fact, but the story goes that Tyree's Halberton was supposed to throw out the first pitch at a Brewers game. And then he eliminated the box and they canceled it. So he's like, fuck you guys, which is very funny, very funny. Wait, what was your pick in this game, Rico? I like USC. A lot of points. I think it's going to be high school. I think I just, I'm going to take USC. Okay. And to that point of everybody saying Notre Dame runs the table, I think go contrary and I like USC to be in the mix to that Oregon game down the road. We'll see, but okay. Let's do cards. By the way, Rico, can we be done with Iowa State? I called that correctly. I got in your hole, but you've been chasing it. Stupid. And then I lost the property here the next day. Brutal. You had property here? I texted you about it. Yeah, Dobbins. I missed that. Jerry fucked me so bad on Sunday. I, no one's ever fucked me worse. He got a tip from a guy who's been asking for a job for like five years. And who's already given us a bad tip. Yeah, and, and pretended like it was. He didn't tell me who it was. I found out later who it was, but he pretended that it was like some insider tip that was incredible. And I just, just buried me. All right, we'll get back to the games in a second. Let's tell you about our friends at row.co. Row sparks are a two in one prescription treatment for stronger, harder erections. They hit the bloodstream faster because they dissolve under the tongue.

That's ro.co/pick for $15 off your first order. Okay, Rico Card. Sure, South Carolina plus the five and a half. I think they can win the game outright. I'm going to take Ohio State first half minus 14 and a half. And the over in the game 40 and a half. Okay, so can I say one thing about this game? Sure. And listen, I'm not, I'm not saying bet with constant. You'd be fucking a moron to bet with constant. The one thing I would make me nervous about betting Ohio State in this game. Is I do think Ryan Dan Luke Fickler friends. So I do think there might be an element of. I'm not going to rub his nose into it when he's about to get fired. That's all I'm gonna say. There could be a Ohio State running out the clock situation. But first half is different. First half is different. Well, I took first half. I did like the game over. Dan, I mean, I think Ohio State is going to get some short fields. I'm forced like of course with your offense. Like, and at that point, he's doing an injustice to his kids. He's got to run a play. No, listen, they start on the 46. He's got to run. I saw a stat with constant. Quarterback had a point eight passer rating against Iowa. If you just drop back and throw the ball in the dirt 20 times, that's like a point two or something. It's it was crazy. It was crazy. So I had that Iowa Wisconsin in, like you said, betting scared Dan when we're talking. I had it in for Iowa and I didn't do it because I'm betting scared. I'm the most scared better there is in America right now. It's fucking can't win that and scared. And that's all I'm doing every night. I'm like, oh, I got to I got to win these. And then it's like something goes wrong. It's like, fuck, I got I did put 50. Did put 50 grand on the pass on the Super Bowl. They're going to be in the playoffs. The 35th, the one they're definitely going to be in the playoffs. Okay, so Rico, go ahead with your card. Sure. Georgia Ole Miss under. Wyoming Air Force over. A and M minus seven and a half against Arkansas. I think they can pound them. Memphis UAB over 63 and a half. I wanted to add Memphis. It's a clear look ahead for Memphis UAB. Just fired their coach. I still think Memphis pounds them. But I'm going to take the over 63 and a half. USC plus eight and a half. Utah minus three and a half. Vandy minus two and a half. And you want the mortal now? No, it's wait. I'm like I said, I'm going short card. So I'll add a couple. But everything that we've said so far. And then I'm going to take UNLV Boise over 62 and a half in Texas Tech minus nine and a half. I'm scared. I got to I got to limit my plays this weekend to try to get back on track. Dave. This card scares me a little because I have a lot of overs. And to me that just means you have a big square block on your head. But I'll start Minnesota plus eight and a half at home against Nebraska. I keep betting against Nebraska. Keep winning. They keep are two bigger favorites every week. They're not very good in my mind. So I think this is a close game. LSU is the first I already told you. It's my mortal. I love Vandy here. Northwestern minus three and a half at home against Purdue. In the end of minus 27 and a half at home against Michigan state. I think I think in the end is like those old college teams like Cade McNown UCLA at home. They may win by 50 every week. And I'm Arkansas over 61 and a half. Maryland UCLA over 52 and a half. Iowa at home minus two and a half against Penn State. I do not think Penn State rallies the ships here. They got no quarterback. Who's the who's the interim. I don't know how fat is he? That's a good question. I'm going to look it up. Let me know again. USC Nord AM over 61 and a half. Tennessee plus seven and a half or eight and a half. Whatever it is over 58 and a half in that game. Syracuse pit over 55 and a half. Missouri Auburn plus one and a half at home against Missouri. Auburn's been people saying he frees on a hot seat. That's bullshit. He's just had horrible luck this year. The team's not that bad. You're good. He's in shape. Oh, great. Stanford plus 17 and a half at home against Florida State over 53 and a half. Okay. Let's do mortals. Good show. A lot of ball talk on this show. Hank. Take it Wisconsin. Oh, wow. Plus 25 and a half. Yeah. For that reason. I heard, yeah. I heard fickle on the right day of friends. Yeah, I mean, I just listen. There's a world where they could try to take the foot off the gas and still cover the spread. That's the only thing that makes it Wisconsin is that bad. But I do think there's going to be. They're not going to try to run it up on them. It's a ballsy pick. Ballsy pick. Zupi. Texas 12 and a half at Kentucky. Okay, you nailed that game. By the way, Dave, I was way off. It's Texas Oklahoma. Matthias shouldn't have come back. It's not healthy now. Yeah, like you can just see the way he was throwing the ball. It just, he rushed back. They could have five games through the rest of the way. Yeah, Ebo. Louisville plus 13 and a half. Add that to my card. That's a Friday nighter. Yeah, that's Miami. I'll take a Duke minus one and a half. Duke minus one and a half. Oh, by the way, add California minus 10 to my card. UNCS go all the way to the West Coast. Lake game. That's that's a good looking at that. And Love Cal's offense past couple of weeks. Yeah, well, I don't like anything about about UNCS. Yeah, also, also add Clums in minus 10 to my card. Clums are starting to do the thing where they're just starting to get. They get, they get, yeah, yeah, and they're like under the radar. Like, oh, Clums is just killing team now. That happens all the time. Teams that start slow, turn around and you gotta, you gotta, you gotta be on it. Yeah, you forget, you forget that they exist almost. And then you're like, oh, I had them against UNC. I didn't have them last week I should have who they killed last week. I mean, it's tough to tell UNC just. Maybe such a shit show, but yeah, oh no, I think they killed BC last week. They killed BC last year. They did the BBC like a drum lesson. BC's terrible too. Yeah, uh, Jack. How do you end Duke minus one and a half Dave, you have your mortal is Vandy mine is over in USC Notre Dame Rico finishes off. I'm going to take you and LV Boise over 62 and a half. Okay. All right. Well, bonus show. You what? Call my wife. Oh. Hello. Hey, sweetheart. You live. Okay. Hi, Dave gave me the opportunity to be on what they're calling spring break house. Okay. In February. So he thinks I'll be good. There's possibly a cash prize. I'm letting you know, I'll be away for a week in like either Key Western can't cool or something like that in February. Okay. All right. I mean, what do you want me to say? You know what I'm going to say, but it's fine. Well, what are you going to say? I don't know. What am I going to do to watch our children by myself? Well, you're in Key West with 21 year olds. Yeah. So that's all right. Sorry. That's the breaks. Okay. That's not not well. Okay. All right. Thanks, Dave. You're going to have some. We'll figure it out. All right. I'll see you later. All right. This is an improvement. I can't even we're having a wife now as content. Yeah. Your wife. Yeah. What does your wife do for work teacher? Well, she'd be interested in job. Imagine a couple therapy, Bosco and his wife as a show. Yeah. Let's keep that one. I bet I'd pay more than a teacher. I would guarantee you would. Okay. Apple's therapy. Imagine that show. Where did that come from? Came from you calling her live on the show. You get a call in the middle of the day. Somebody's going to go away for a week. Like, no, I mean, you just added her to the show. You didn't have to do that. You just added her to the show. A good content out of your wife. That's a, that's, that's a lot for some of you can say is government name. Now you're calling your wife on the show live. I thought it'd be a good reaction. It's pretty funny. Yeah. So couples therapy incredible. Bosco. New Bosco. Double our salary. When's Bosco Industries episode two coming out this week? All right. Would you head just pop up? How much does the teacher make? Can't make a ton? Okay. It's pretty well. You said double her salary. If I have an, I have an idea of what it could be. Couples therapy podcast. That would be unbelievable. Uh-oh. Double. Could she get, could she get a contract, though? That's not year to year. Yeah, that'd have to be like a 10. Imagine, if we double the salary, now the contract becomes void. If this podcast skips a week, but couples therapy, I may even maybe even I'm like the therapist. Oh, imagine you do want to couch. It's not worth a Rico. Why? That would be a bananza, which is just a real joke, right? It's a note. It's real. Imagine. Oh, no, she thought spring break was a joke. Yeah, no, that's. Rico, she hears this next offer on the table. 10 years. Bosco's fighting, scratching, clawing for year to years, wife's on a 10-year deal. Hey, listen, she never had any fatal mistakes. Oh, man. I love it. All right. Good show, boys. All right. Let's see how, couples therapy featuring the Boscos.
