The records are, I'm at 3831 and 2, Dave 14 and 15, I think you had a pretty good week. Bosco 10 and 17. Bob Diaco, Miibo, Zupi, Altuno, Hank, Bosco, 1-1, Dave, Jack, 0-2. But the big news is, Bosco, you won the pick-off, the one week pick-off, I guess. It was one week. I didn't even know we did it a week, I didn't even, I thought it was true before we even did it. Oh, so that didn't even count. No. So, the pick-off for everyone who tuned in last week, Bosco is going to go against Nidu, is going to be 1k a week, 20k to the winner at the end of the year. Bosco then went over the line. You tacked him. There goes Bosco. He lost him. Bosco's gone again. And I'll be back. What's the fucking thing? And do you never do anything from this, Bosco? Rarely, that's why I keep it clean, but it's got a weird wire, hang on, it's fucking. Rarely, that's why I keep it clean, but I got a faulty wire. What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that? That's why I keep it clean. I don't overuse it, so you try to not use your stuff, so it would work. What? There we go. You try to not use your equipment. Yeah, keep it down to you for only in the off-chance. You have to use it once. It works. Yeah, for this stuff. Like, keep it fresh. A microphone? The mic can set up. Yeah. Most of the time I'm in the office. Try to be in the office to do it. It's a rarity that, like, if we do have to do it, I'd rather be in the office. We are doing the show on a Tuesday. I will say the squeeze out is, I know Rico what you go through. David squeezing me out first. He came for my picks. Then he came for my flips. Then he, when we talked about doing the show on Saturdays, we then moved it up a day to Tuesdays. I see what you do today. I can't. We talked about doing it Saturdays. I said, do you want to do a four in the morning on Saturdays? I will. I will. And then now we're doing it Tuesdays. Oh, Jeff's here. Jeff's here to talk about the pick contest. They do. You've got to unmute yourself, Jeff. Nope. All right. Hey, so Jeff, I did not see this coming. What happened with the pick contest and why are you out? Because I'm done. I'm done with the bullshit. I'm done with the back and forth. I'm done with the fucking interviews. I'm done with the him in the same room as me. I'm done with the reads. I'm done with it all. I've sat here for the last, what, seven, eight years. And I've had to sit here and deal with him calling me this word, not word, fucking horrible things. Things that you know I could sue as asked for. Number two, I've had to sit here and listen to him mention my fucking family, my sister, my father. I never went low. I've never mentioned his family. Never done any of that. And I've had to sit here and just take it. I'm done with it. I'm done. So fair point. But you are on this podcast. Yeah. Right. Go ahead, Jeff. Sorry. Right. Because once and for all, I've not been able to do anything. It's entire time. I had to sit there in a fucking casino and deal with this fucking disgusting breath in my face and look like an asshole and couldn't do shit back. So Dave, again, let me get a fucking farewell with the guy. But, but all right. Would you say a couple of months ago, you'd be fine with. Let's do it. But here's the problem to do. And by the way, I'm on your side with 99% of everything you say. I think he's a despicable human. I've said that you sit there and laugh about it. What have you talked about your family or your family, Dan? Jeff got brutal. Jeff, can you flip your camera to the side? Thank you. But the fight thing, the problem is we've seen you fight and you don't fight. That was that was four years ago. I'm a totally different fighter now. Number two, what do you hate? I didn't hate Jerry. I didn't hate Jerry. But but that's what you you you sold that fight. And I think you're a smart guy. And you see a payday. And then we get in the ring and we get the nidoo. We put my whole fucking life into this. And you made a ton of money off that. So we it was the second biggest fight card ever. And this should be the first by a fucking wide margin. Dad, I don't know. We did make a ton of money on that. It would be a massive, massive pay per view. Dave, I mean, can I listen? I'm a writer. But let me just say the right. Rico Rico. And by the way, if you go look at the last clip to do, I wasn't laughing. Well, listen, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned you, but your employees have sat there and fucking made videos about it. That fucking KFC, all these fucking people, they sit there and fucking laugh about it. You're mentioned in my fucking sister, my father. I have been away over the line. Yeah. It's a specable. He's a despicable guy. And I want to make it clear. I've never mentioned anybody connected to him. I've never went low. He's called me an R-worder. He's called me a racist. He's called me a terrorist. I mean, what point do I have to say enough to shit? All fair. I mean, we call Rico terrorists, but he has gone way lower than anybody ever seen. He's a specable human. Dave, what do you say to Jeff? Like Bernard Hopkins lost his first fight? It was a while ago. It was a while ago. It was four years ago. It was the worst fight of all time. But he might be better. Who the fuck asked you? I'm just saying. Stay the fuck out of it. But why are you? Look at the giggly squad up here. Look at these three. Just giggling like a little school. He now hang is right. And if I thought, but if I didn't have, first of all, I don't even know that Moscow do it. He turned it down last time. But the issue is I did see that last fight. And I don't think you can fight. So, well, by the way, you're at the like fighting age where it's not like you're getting old. They're not younger. That's not a good thing. Like if I'm like, well, that was four years ago. Would you be willing to take steroids, Jeff? No, but when I lose, then I lose. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I'm out. I'm done. I'll walk off and I'm done with this shit. I just want to I'm gonna fucking fare one one time, that's it. - Winner take all? - Winner take all, Rico. Are you, would you be open to fighting? Do you want to apologize, Rico, by the way? Like, you were way over the line. - Yeah, I tell you, it was a little over the line. - No, you were way over the line. - Just say you're sorry about that. One, that one line, I didn't realize so after. - But, but Dan, he keeps doing it. He did it during the flight thing. He did it. It just, and I had to be able to do it. - And I had to be fair, saying you black out. If you murder somebody, you can't be like, "Oh, I blacked out, so let's forget it." That's not really an excuse. - That's fair, would you apologize or no? - Yeah, I think that was a little over the line. - That doesn't sound like a great call. - That's not an apology. You're just admitting that it's over the line. - You don't even know why you don't like 'em. I, people have asked, and I'm even a little confused. My answer on why Rico doesn't like to do is I think we were hiring to do to be a gambling guy. Like, I think that's the-- - It goes back to the cowboy a long time ago. - The cowboy. - The singing cowboy. - Wow. - Yeah, he was a friend of mine. And look, I didn't, I knew Rico. I thought it was funny at the time. I reached out to him, thought we maybe could do some content. Then I see him bashing blackjack. And I was a friend of his, and I'm, I said him, who the fuck are you to talk to him like that? And ever since then, he's had it out for me. He had it out for Bladucas, had it out for blackjack. He's never given me a, and you know another thing? I will say this, how many fucking times have I tried to be the bigger man, take the high route, take his hand? I tried, there's nothing else I can do. So I gotta put my foot down and be dumb with it. - Rico, will you want to apologize or to accept a fight? - Yeah, I'll apologize, I was a little over the line. - Still not the best apology I've ever apologized. - And I'll tell you new to my prom. And I do agree like you, I mean, you have made me sour on you with your handling with me and bars all outside of Rico, nothing to do with Rico. Rico, I like, and I admit, I wish I didn't, because I do objectively know what a jerk he is. So I say he's a jerk, he's my jerk, but he is an absolute scumbag. So I get everything you say. - And you have fucked up with me aside from him. - But have I, I mean, I've done, hold on a second, I've done a ton of content, I've really never complained about, and then I gotta hear you talk about all, he doesn't do nothing, he doesn't do anything, he'll just do it for free, he'll just do everything for free. I mean, you've had a job though twice, you try to understand. - I can make more money on my own. - Sorry, all right, so then there's no problem with that. - Yeah, I'm good with it, all I said was, I just wanted to fare with the guy, that's it. - If you don't want to give me, you don't want to give me it, you don't want him in, well, let me ask that, because I don't think, I don't think, I think you're not like I want to want off. You know it's a gigantic payday, but you're gonna leave the people being like, that was the worst thing I've ever seen, that's my problem. - Number one, if that fight with Jerry would have went one more round, I'd have won. Number two. - That's crazy, that's, wasn't it? - That's maybe the craziest thing I've ever heard. - Jeff, I'm trying, what are you talking about? - Jeff, listen, I'm a rider, but I'm trying to make a fight here. - I'm not telling you wasn't a bad fight. - Oh my God, that wasn't a good fight. - I'm not saying it wasn't a good fight. - We've ever had it. - They're all shit shows. - No, no, no, no, that was the worst fight we've ever had. - First of all, I didn't really train it all. I didn't really not like, I hate this fucking piece of shit, scumbag motherfucker. I didn't hate Jerry, that's the difference. - Rico, would you potentially fight in rough and rowdy? - Not saying it's gonna happen. - Yeah, I'm with Dave. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't talk, don't know. Dave aside, so Dave, the making of this fight is something that comes after. Would you even entertain fighting in rough and rowdy against him? If the answer's no, then there's no- - I don't need the pad entry. I said, let's go on the closet, it's passed up. So that's like, to be fair, to be fair, that closet move that everyone's talking about, Nidu was flat. Like, he wasn't emotional. If some person's all of a sudden goes zero to 100s out of control, who's gonna wanna be like, let's go fight? Like, he wasn't in a fight mode. - You income, I came there to do the picks thing. - And I said hello, you went like a fucking nut. What if I would have bashed in the fucking face with a mic? Did he kick me out of the casino? I'd be blacklisted, I couldn't go to any casino. What the fuck would I do that for? Yeah, I'm gonna go into a fucking room with you. - I don't know. - I'm blacklisted from Fox. - I'd have been blacklisted from Foxwoods, 100%. - Might end up on a no-fly list. What Rico, would you accept the fight or no? - I don't think we need the pad entry. - Okay, so that's a non-answer. - And I know how it's gonna go. - And today I don't think, well I don't think we need you talking about my father and my son. - Okay, all right, you still fucking do it. All right, you forbidden, I win. - I don't wanna be in any conflict with you. You're fucking so, I don't wanna be on camera with you ever again. Fuck you. - Okay, so here's the one I know. You two will be making content together again. - No, we won't, I'm not. - I hope you can. - You can't, you can't. - I hope I can. - You two, guys, who, you weirdly just- - But that's another thing, Dave. - Dave, I'll do respect, that's another thing. I mean, we've tried to bring opportunities that would work. He's fucking said no to everyone. - A hundred, but you guys bring the best out of each other. - Well, Nadoo, Nadoo, he wanted to do it. He went to one episode of Men of Honor, safest cousins bar, he's a lunatic. - Exactly. - But you guys bring the, but you guys need each other. - There's no two people that I've ever encountered in 20 years are seen that have a rivalry like this and it's just, it's crazy. I don't know how to get around. I mean, look at this guy, look at this smirk on Bosco's face. It's like, he's the worst. - It gets the people going. It's provocative, the two of you. - But I don't, I didn't like it. Like, I wasn't, like, maybe I'm getting old or soft. Like, I didn't like what happens. Like, I wasn't, I was stunned, but I shouldn't be that the psychopath acted like how he did. Like, suspended him from the show. Who knows if I'll even be back on? - Oh, that hurt, that hurt, Dave. - Well, he shouldn't be. - He doesn't know shit about sports action. - He doesn't know shit about sports anyway. Why, why should he be on? He's the fucking nothing. He doesn't know nothing about sports. - He needs you. - That's the only way it would actually work to have them on, on the show together. That would be, you know you get ratings then. - I'd do it, then. - I don't think it'd be great. - Yeah, I'd give one to, all right. So I guess, so Rico, that's a no to the fight. Can you just say you're not gonna fight him? - We don't need the patent. - Okay. - What does that mean? - You are chasing the money. It's very simple. - Where are you the same perry? - You're chasing it again. - But where are you the same person that asked for like 100 grand in an episode? At one point? - Yes. - Me. - Threatened to leave. - Yeah, you don't get, you don't get your boxes as you need. - Pasta. - Yes. - Yes. - Yes, yes, yes. - Yeah, I mean, who are you to talk to anybody about money? - Very hypocritical and I like the guy. I wish I did, but he talks out both sides of his mouth. That's a fact. All right, I love him, but I don't know why. Jeff, anything to say for two, two and one? - And, JMU, and that was a rough one. - Yeah. - Push, should of one. What are you gonna do? Navy, weather delay. - Yeah, weather delay. - Okay, I guess, I guess this is it for now. I guess we're goodbye for now, Jeff. - Yeah. Thank you for everything, I appreciate it. - I feel like it's not a goodbye, it's a see you later. - Yeah, I guess. - I have been as unfairly, fairly in the new Nidu one. - Listen, you have just, because I know it's wrong, but it is, he's right, everything Jeff says is correct. - Well, thank you for giving me a chance to. - Yeah, I'll try to get the fight made. I would love to see it, we'll see it, Jeff, you got to pick, you got to give us a pick. It's a pick show. - Oh. - A&M. - Okay, A&M plus the points. - Plus seven. - All right. - Thank you, Jeff. - All right, thanks, Jeff. - Bye, guys. - All right. I was kind of sad at the end, it's like, it's over. - I mean, it's never over, there's two guys who are linked through infamy, through history forever. You're not gonna be able to see the name Bosco without Nidu and Nidu without Bosco. It may drive Bosco crazy, but they are attached at the hip forever. And I don't even know why, like Jeff just described it. It's so stupid, it's really hard to put into words. It's the left over Bosco. It's the meds, and I like that. And I openly say, I've told people, I like Rico, despicable guy, one of my guys, but he's bad. Like Josh Richards, when I'm playing poker, he's like, oh Rico's nice, I'm like, no he ain't. Like he's horrible. I love him, but he's really a despicable guy. - Man, Rico, what do you say to the people about the smirk you had on for that entire time? 'Cause you didn't do a lot of talking, you just smirked. - And the path will drive people insane. - The passenger's rewind is outrageous. - It's crazy. - That's what we do. - This literally our job, the passenger's rewind. - But it's chasing, it's chasing a payday. - So yeah, I get respect. You have done And I bet if we started putting numbers in front of you. No, he wanted you could put any number I No, you're wrong, Dave You do it. I don't know why but I I don't think there's if he wasn't gonna do it for his cousins bar We put pretty big numbers I don't know that there's any number. He do I yeah millions may have maybe but I still he may not and now I don't know why I have no idea when he's like Dave knows why This is a part of Rico's brain that he has when they do that makes no sense on any level Anywhere ever to anybody. This is He can't get over to do he can't No, I need the one hatred. I've give I've buried hatch. It's like left and right and he's become life You're final boss. Yeah, that's it. So I need one if you take that one away like I'm just Zombie I need the one Rico and I agree with that. That's why I need the one you two together is magic There's not a single number No, a million dollars you wouldn't do it no Two million dollars No, no, it's a difference. We wanted to I owe ten million dollars. I honestly don't know that maybe I don't know he really doesn't want Like he he get the money and he says zombie like it's over and It's just over. I just I wanted to pick contest it sucks. That was fun or fit. Well, I mean you attack them When you go into a big day when you're playing a road game Dave when you're playing a road game and Aren't the cheerleaders and like the fucking crowd into it like that's a road environment. What's that? Two teams come to win you Sit in an empty casino and you're just like to attack the guy You've thrown out some analogies this episode that just aren't landing and they'd make no sense Like in sports. It's gonna be a hostile environment. You're going in. We got to go get a win It's you walk in like don't let it get the best of you let it get the best of you for you attack him You need a security to remove you from him if that was a sporting event. I Ejected I First contact is usually the person who's the most guilty Rico I didn't do physical contact. I just said let's say hello. He said hello So so and hit and hit. He did not hit hit and arm Rico So Rico won the first week, Dave or you're gonna pay him the thousand absolute he was asking for it doesn't have to shut up Dan shut up with that shit He didn't actually ask for it. He withdrew before he said this we I tried I tried to get him to ask for it on Sunday when you're in a terrible We're in a great spot. You think I'm fucking asking Great spot. I sat here for the last 25 minutes It's just pickable horrible miserable human. He's like we're in a great spot I do like him. I guess we found that understanding I do like you, but I know I I love them. I love them. I know everything then do said is the truth It's like your you go so far below the belt. It's hard to defend you as a human Yeah, so where's he where's Rico? At for I know we got a one week suspension. Is he getting is it well? I'm not gonna be on this week I am but I'm not gonna be in the studio. So it's gonna be a remote show. So we're doing a t-bob is gonna host it So it's a little different so he's not gonna be on this week But that really has nothing to do with like neither there's Jay well. That has nothing to do with It's just it's a different setup got it What about when you do come back? Will he be back on we'll cross that bridge? Of course when we come to that bridge But the plan as of now is yes, but that's two weeks away All right, let's take a quick break and tell you about our friends at row dot code this segment is sponsored by row Row sparks are two-in-one prescription treatment for stronger harder erections They hit the bloodstream faster because they dissolve under the tongue and getting hard faster means having more sex After they dissolve they work in 15 minutes on average Row sparks can give guys thicker longer erections than you usually have because they get fuller Row sparks give you the boost to last longer so it's more fun for you both That's what everybody wants you want it can't just be fun for you.

I think he's gonna try to make a couple caves For the Sunday gambling streams because it's fun happening in the mix. He's got the open invite Dave, how is your gambling cave experience on Saturday? It's one of the worst nights of my life Drunk tea bomb and drunk Casey They didn't shut up. They talked about nothing stupid or relevant Like hey, would you rather fuck a guy with foreheads or like a woman with like 76 boobs and like just dumb Shit, they didn't shut up. Hey, one another bottle of wine. Let's crack another bottle of wine. Let's do the it was Horrible horrible and Michigan didn't look good No, Michigan was getting stomp the entire time. This was going on. Yeah horrible How are you feeling about price underwood? I don't think he's bad. I don't think it's his like no different really than I did going into the game they I mean their play calling was horrendous. I saw a strong more Be like yeah, we know you can run the problem is we don't have a backup quarterback. So we don't want them to get hurt That's crazy. That's the problem is the difference You're not going to win first good teams You have a guy who by all accounts is a spectacular running quarterback and they're not even trying to run They're not open in the playbook. They're not stretching the field or even trying to so that to me I couldn't get anything off price underwood like yeah It was I I think it's also like I think your offensive line is not great and Horrible. So Harbaugh got away with it right and Harbaugh is a great coach. It's great players and even but if you even look at that Michigan team that won the national title. They're fucking really talented. Yeah guys all over the NFL and Sharon is doing what Harbaugh just mashed mouth football and he's I don't think he's adapting to the personnel What you have to do like we can't just blow people off the ball and run for five yards You got a quarterback who can run can throw you got it You got to open up that playbook chip Lindsay F might and maybe they open up later. I can't believe And I said it I Thought the playbook was so vanilla against New Mexico. They were saving it for Oklahoma and they just did the same fucking thing So it was really disappointing. I don't know what it made a difference but At least try to win the game. Yeah, yeah, it was it was frustrating if you if you bet on Michigan John Matier looked awesome Very good. He's a better on his feet than I eat it's throwing he made a couple throws a couple bad throws But he's a spectacular runner. Yeah, yeah, he's got he's got it all his his stop is so insane His like he's saying gets guys going by him insane. Yeah, Oklahoma's defense look good, so but I couldn't tell if they did look good We didn't try it. You didn't you're right. It didn't that's fair. You didn't fucking unload the playbook at all You didn't open the playbook at all so I'm even a little bit like I just Run run pass run run pass run run pass. It was tough to watch any other takeaways from week two USF is The best resume. We're gonna talk about them in a minute best resume in the country. Yep. That was shocking to me Yeah, I I I had them plus 17 and a half But I did not have them to win that outright. That was crazy. I thought that was a tough spot for them And they yeah, they look awesome my Kansas water lock was That one they could have won the game so Teams in my graveyard and I'll probably bet on them again, but right now Kansas That was brutal. That was so unfair Virginia Tech is a dead program. I don't know if you guys saw what happened in that in that game They had a marina bill right? Yeah, they had a halftime lead. They were an underdog All right, they might have been a little a small favorite. I think it was like minus one half They had like maybe like five yards of offense in second half Vanderbilt scored on every single drive It was insane that program is like unfortunate I think dead I don't I don't know where how they recover from this and they're in that weird like if the ACC breaks up Where do they go kind of feel? Yeah, they're in a tough spot Virginia and Lane kiffin apologize the gamblers. He called a time out that Gave Kentucky a chance to take the they were going for it on fourth down And then they called time out and they sent on the field low unit with like eight seconds left or something and kicked the field All that fucked this spread Lane apologized after the game to gamblers. I I love did you see this? Yeah, he's been pro gambling to Dan Dan. Do you see the South Florida staff have to walk out of the box with the floor like Kind of hot like we need to celebrate and the Florida guys just their fucking head I was crying the South Florida The Florida podcaster was crying. I did not see that. It was unbelievable. That's amazing Yeah, you blow that up this guy's crying and he's not I don't think he's being performative I think he just started breaking up in the middle of being like things will get better wait It was it was a South Florida or Florida. I mean Billy Napier's a dead man walking that's that's very clear It was a good it was a good week to though. There were some you know good games crazy games We love games, huh? It was great. Yeah great. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, we're not going to have this game on the list of the five games but I will be filling in for Dave at Northwestern on Saturday. I'm big new kickoff. So Oregon. Where are they doing it? You know, they're doing it right by the the lake. So it should be a sick setup and I think Because the stadium is so small. It's 12,000 people because of the it's the they're under renovation So I think I had a meeting I think what they're trying to do is I think there's going to be TVs for kids to be able to watch the game there because not all the kids can go to the game So hopefully some Northwestern fans come out for the big big new kickoff and then they can just stay there and Watch it. By the way, this is like a big a big deal for me Dave because I was in the Fox meeting and You've been in these meetings now and on Monday they do a meeting and they're like what what do you have thoughts? Everything and I pitched the idea of like let me do a segment about Northwestern 11 a.m. Being the toughest place to play in the country. I think I'll let you do it I think so coach Meyer actually backed me up. He was like, yeah, this is a this is a type of game You got to break a couple whiteboards before the game to try to get them juice up because it's hard to play there He's like that and Maryland. It's like it's tough. So it's a tough early. They're very tough. They call on you first in that meeting. Yes Yeah, they've done that to me and I'm like so caught off guard. Yes. And I'm just like I don't know. I don't even I don't the first two times. I didn't even know what they're asking me like I didn't understand the question. Yeah, be the question But that should be fun. So everyone tune in. It's going to be a great time And obviously wake up parcels been going great. It's early Dave wake up parcels. Oh my god. I'm up The combo of wake up parcel with big new kickoff I'm getting up at like 5 a.m. Yeah, I when we were so you you out you're busy tomorrow doing stuff And so we're trying to figure out when we're going to do this so we settled on Tuesday night And I was like 730 central time 830 eastern you you were like that's late Yeah, I've been going to bed is it's crazy late.

I don't know if you got that. All right, I mean he's good with coaches I'm I'm not diminishing people do kind of like big 12 coaches in the air phone. Yeah No, yeah hold on hold on hang right hang for sure I got an assistant at Oklahoma State Then I got to connect it out at the final floor I got people in Drew's circle. I got people in Samson's circle What does that mean? Yeah, what does that mean there's circle? Yeah, like all you got to do is make one text And then you can link up if if we were doing an alternate universe and it was like And someone was on a podcast is like I got people in in Dave Portnoy in big cat's circle And it's like you have mincey's phone number Yeah, but a little higher up, but yeah, okay I'm just trying to get you can I can get to people like if I was doing that I could get to people Maybe you know what a little homework assignment because I don't know what you do I won't want you to be like overly trying to be funny when you're not funny I wouldn't want you to do like the thing you did with Wisconsin where you are arrogant So maybe we put something together where you can game plan if you represent us at this media day like what does that look like? Bosco on the floor like what are we what are we getting? Well, I think it's just the media days is all straight forward questions Well, that's not really I can't say like that that that I mean that's not that's not that's a bad answer I'm saying I didn't I know not to do that Dan. I know not to do that. I'm just saying like See my dad's what you were going to do know what I'm saying that's what media day is I know what it is Okay, what was that? So then maybe put put together a quick summary if you want maybe if you don't want to do it then we know I do it I just don't I mean it's difficult like they the coaches are only there to do the cookie cutter type fucking thing I think the reason the big 12 has embraced barstool is not for cookie cutter content. Correct. All right And by the way, I'm on TikTok and all I see is these athletes from like media day doing crazy shit So maybe the times are they are a change in so what would be an idea just throwing out there. No bad ideas Something fun we could do. What is it like 14 teams in the conference now? Big 12 they've moved Yeah, a whiteboard from each coach to design a set whether it's a league game of Powerful. That's good. No, that's I wanted apology. I wanted to apologize because what I said was right. That was what you were going to do in what You universe. Do you think good content is asking big 12 coach on a whiteboard to write a blob set? We just put it up in the off. We have a bend. We have a corner. I don't know. You're not going to ask me Before your personal like your your personal collection No, it's for the office and then like you that would be the clip like oh design it And then maybe late we they run it and we pull it up. They do it late game. It's like oh remember that Whatever I feel vindicated. It's possible and we can work on something but boss come on. What do you call it? It's what he call it It's uh, what's the fucking movie dirty dancing you put me in the corner like I know to ask the stupid fucking cookie cutter questions that you do whatever he cut her question the blob set was the cookie cutter question All right That he's mad. I mean you can't go for a what like they they have 10 minutes a lot and you can't go for a walk with them You can't like you can't try foot like what do you want me to do? Yeah, I don't know you find out what they're a funny story A fucking what do they like to eat? I don't fucking know But you don't you're only limited to the court and it's 10 minutes of them shuffling in like fucking speed dating All right, here's an idea. No bad ideas. What if we had you in a full suit and we had you with like one of those flower lapels But it's squirted water and you just squirted them all with water That'd be pretty good. You can't risk your credential for the final four I think because come a gotcha guy and they throw you out. - You squirtin' kelvin's answer with water and the face would be so funny, he strangled you. - Yeah, not doin' that. It's gotcha culture. - Now I need this thing. - That would be a movie. - Hey, hey, hey, coach, smell my flower. (laughing) - I was sick with the blob set. - The blob set. - It was off the cuff. Oh, what do you have? You always-- - I just gave you my idea. - It's a incredible idea, squirtin', just squirtin'. - Squirtin' in the face? - Yeah. - I'm a credential member of the final forum. Not squirtin' guys in the face. (laughing) - Possible. - We're not journalists. We're not journalists. - I know that. - But you just said I'm a credential member in the final forum. - Yeah, yeah. - Crazy. - All right, let's get into some games. That was so. It's like, you know, but you don't. You really don't got it. - You don't got it. - He absolutely don't got it. - Blobset. - Let's, hey, coach, do a blob set.

Wait, so Dave, officially can I get 10 ads? 'Cause you know what, I'm gonna add them early. - An hour pass my bet. - All right, sorry, all right. Georgia, Tennessee, Tennessee's plus three and a half, over under 49 and a half. I'll start with you Bosco. - Love Georgia. Kirby smart 32 and six straight up in road games at Georgia. I trust Georgia's defense. Even going to Tennessee, just give me Georgia. I wanna be on that side, give me Georgia. - Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you. I'm gonna take Georgia as well minus three and a half. Plus Whitney. Whitney's a big Georgia guy. - Whitney is a big Georgia guy. I've lost the battle with Whitney with the McDavid-Kale Williams thing. That's tough. I threw in the white flag and he's, he claims I ran Conor McDavid out of Edmonton. And I was like, you know what, hand up, I probably did. So, all right, what do you have, Dave? - I tend to see, I like the quarterback Joey Aguilar. He's been playing well, I think Tennessee looks good. I know Georgia struggled, so you guys are ignoring that. Maybe that's right. Georgia wasn't Georgia last year. - No. - Georgia wasn't Georgia last year. I tend to see his look good. Maybe weirdly, subtract addition by subtraction with the quarterback, I don't know. So I'm gonna take Tennessee here. Okay, next game, we have Miami minus 17 at home against USF, over under 56 and a half. I bet USF against Boise, I bet USF against Florida. I will be betting Miami minus 17 in this game. I think it's an impossible spot. And it's no disrespect to USF, incredible story. This is just a gauntlet of three weeks in a row. Like, and not to say that they're not gonna be motivated 'cause they will, but USF now is, they could lose this game and they'll still be in the playoff if they win the rest of their games. So it kind of changes the trajectory. Like, this is now, their season isn't on the line. They obviously have, or the Cinderella story so far, the football season, but this isn't a do or die game for them, their resume will be better than anyone else's if they run the table after Miami. So I'm gonna take Miami minus 17. Rico, what's the total? 56 and a half. I'll take the under. I respect Miami's defense and I do agree with you that USF, it's just a brutal, brutal spot. I think it'll be low scoring. I tilted last week after Missouri loss. I mean, Kansas lost. Took Miami minus 53 or 54 against Bathoon Cookman. It was never really there. Miami's defense, not good. They were going up and down the field. They just couldn't score, but they were holding the ball for like eight minute drives. Now, I'm gonna do a pick that I know is wrong. Everything Dan says right. It's too many points. I don't, I haven't been on USF yet. I am gonna get on on this game, but everything Dan said is correct. This is the game I won't bet, but for this purpose, I'm taking USF and what Dan, you kind of described was like old Fresno State. Like Fresno State used to run the gauntlet and they get progressively worse/tired/worn out. And by the end of the gauntlet, there were different team than you'd see given trouble, you see. I'm taking USF. - Okay, all right. Yeah, I mean, it is bad gambling move though, because I agree with what you said. Spreads gigantic for what they've done, but they beat Boise, beat Florida. They win this. I said they should be number one in the country. They really should if they win this game. - Yeah, they would have the best resume at that point. - Yeah. - High mile. - Yeah, easily, easily. Okay, next up, we got Texas A&M at Notre Dame. Notre Dame's minus six and a half, over under 50 and a half. This is a, or sorry, 49 and a half. This is a must win for both teams. Notre Dame cannot lose again. Maybe if they have everything shakes out, maybe they can get in with two losses, but Texas A&M's got the SEC schedule coming up. Rico, what do you got in this game? Texas A&M quarterback went out last week, but they said that he could have gone back in, it was more precautionary. Just something to look at. Under, I'm taking the over. Okay. - Nidu, respect pick for me. I believe he took A&M, right? - A&M plus seven would be the pick. - So out of respect to Jeff Nidu, who I do respect and feel like he's unfairly put up with a hell of a ton of stuff, just a hell of a time. - Yeah. - Will, I gotta, you know, don't forget the patty, the patty incident. Don't forget the retweeting of wrong sportsbooks. Don't forget the comments on the board. - You went on a radio station that was sponsored by a competitive sportsbook of a not mistaken. - What was the patty, the patty? - Uh, rude against them. - Rude against patty, the patty. - You went on, I'm told. I don't remember the full story. - But you went on a different radio program to do picks of a competitor, right? - Uh, that's Jeff. - Sorry, Jeff? - Yeah. - Jack, what did you say? - Yeah, that's true, it was. He did go on it. - Oh. - I fucked up. - Yeah. - Yep. - Nidu respect Peck. - I will take, and I'm- - That's, anytime you could ride a two-two and one guy, you gotta do it. - So, good pick, Dave. - Thanks. - Well, what's your record? - 10 and 17. (laughing) - Three and two in the money. - He is the reigning patty. - He was in the money. - I got canceled after you attacked him and he withdrew. - Dan, to your point, if Notre Dame doesn't win this, like where there are other showcases that are really just USC. If you think USC, so it's Purdue, Arkansas, Boise, NC State, USC, BC, Navy, Pitt, Syracuse, Stanford. They don't, like, they're gonna be lucky to stick around. They have to get this. - They have to win this one. - And who knows if Texas Zanaff is gonna be that great of a win down the road. So, yeah? - One lost Notre Dame team's on him is in the playoff, no doubt. - Oh, automatically, yes. They gotta win this game. If they win this game and they win their out, they're safe. - I'd even say two lost probably is. I don't know how about their Notre Dame. - All right, next up, Florida and LSU. LSU minus seven and a half over under 48 and a half, Dave. - I don't know what's about in this game. - LSU seems-- - Say that again, I dropped distracted. - LSU, Florida, LSU is seven and a half points favorites. Over at 40. - Rat, rat, rat, rat. - Ratt, rat, rat, rat. LSU looked like trash. We had that game on TV. They're playing a shitty team. T-Bob won't shut up about it. It's a rat. Ain't this a rat. This is a rat. - But that game, the second game is a classic sandwich spot. They come off the board as a rat. - Ooh. - Brico? - I'm not-- - There's another one. I'm not, but I will not touch this in my life as well. - I hate it, but you have to take-- - Florida year. - You have to. - LSU is probably going to win by fucking two touchdowns, but it's a massive, massive rat. Like you have to take Florida. - You just have to. I despise it, but you have to take Florida. - I hate this game. - Yeah, how can you like it? - That line should be 14. - It should be 17. - I hate this game. - I'll take the over 48 and a half. I hate this game. Last game. Vandy at South Carolina. South Carolina minus five and a half over under 48 and a half. Dave. - I got the ratings came in from big news. I got distracted. - How were they? - Sounds good. I can't make a three week two college football is a big, big news series, most watched window of any today, '52 season. today starting to 11 am is up 61% season to date. Okay, no, it make everything sound good. Uh, what, what was it? What are we doing next? Uh, Vandy, South Carolina, South Carolina is minus five and a half. Love Vandy. I do too. I like, I like Vandy, plus, ah, South Carolina at night. I, yeah, but this kid, Povey is different. He's going, he's early. They're probably not as banged up. They prove they can play with teams. I don't think South Carolina is that good. I like Vandy. I think they can win the game, but it'll be close. Rico, I'll take the over. This is a tough game. I'm going to take that. It does seem like a classic like South Carolina is what fucking the bubble gets burst all, all the fucking hype this year and they're going to continue the run and it just pops like right now unexpected to Vandy. I'm just worried about. I'll take the old one at night. Like that place doesn't have many big game. You know, I mean, like that's all the build up from last year into this year. Night game, but yeah, Povey is different. I, I think that, I think he's going to have that Vandy. He almost seems like a guy who's going to have that team playing better at night. Like I would trust Povey. It's crazy. It says about Vanderbilt in a big spot more than a sleepy spot. He is different. He's fucking electric. Okay. I'll take, I will take Vandy as well. Hey, pick them listeners. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. Hey, Kirk Herbstreet here. When Hurt said they needed a football analyst, I assume they wanted my help. Turns out they wanted Peter, my dog. I didn't even think Peter knew ball. Well, technically he knows that ball. Now, Peter's part of the Hurt's Gold Squad. And we'll be making weekly picks throughout the college football season. So whether you're coming to the stadium to cheer on Peter's picks or kicking off your own road trip book direct at hurts.com slash Peter. All right. Now back to the episode. Do we want to do our cards? I got my card. All right. Give us your card. You want to talk about biggest rat on the thing. Arizona State plus one and a half at home. But I have an underdog card. I did think it full, uh, flipped now that hold on. Kansas State is now plus minus one and a half. I'm seeing. Hang on. That's what I just said though. Okay. Okay, Arizona did start the week minus one and a half. Yeah, I said, Arizona State plus one and a half as a rat. You said hold on. It flipped. It's now Arizona State minus one and a half. Yeah, that was incorrect. It did, but it's not incorrect that it has flipped at some point during the week. So that's true. Okay. I never talked about any of that. I just said, all right. I said it's a rat Arizona State plus one and a half at home against Kansas State. It was look horrible, horrible. Okay, I'm taking this off my card. I had no, I'm keeping it. Arizona State plus one and a half. Okay. I've all underdogs. Georgia Tech plus three and a half at home against Clemson. Not sold them Clemson. Um, we have, how could you be? No. In Georgia Tech, I think it's going to be pretty good. Temple plus 23 and a half at home against Oklahoma. I think Oklahoma has come down. I'm, I don't want to say I, I was really unimpressed with Michigan. So I don't want to take anything away from Oklahoma, but maybe I am Purdue, plus 21 and a half at home against USC. I will continue to bet against West Coast big 10 teams who are coming into the heartland in the middle of the day. Um, Texas Tech. Oh, this is my one favorite. Texas Tech minus 23 and a half at home against Oregon State. Yep. Oregon State, one of the worst teams of country. Tennessee plus three and a half at home against Georgia. Uh, USF plus 18 or whatever it is against Miami. Vandy plus five and a half against South Carolina. Tulane plus one and a half at home against Duke. Cal plus one and a half at home against Minnesota. I'm going to actually take South Carolina. I want that on the record. I've gone back and forth by head. I'm taking South Carolina. Uh, all right. That was a good card. Uh, Rico. Ducky's first half minus 16 and a half, uh, Oregon minus 27 and a half. I do think that, uh, Oregon is going to make the playoff. And I think Oregon's a win the national championship. It's early and they, but their schedule is very, very favorable. So that, that big test against state pen, uh, they got Indiana and Iowa who's not going to be as like super, super challenging. Oregon's going to be in the playoff. I think Oregon's like can be really, really good. They look fucking super fast again. Well, I know his Oklahoma state is horrible, but like they're just, they're doing that thing again, where guys catch the ball and hit fucking turbo. And I just, the ducks, ducks look really, really good. Dave's got me scared with USC. Uh, fuck it. USC minus the 21 and a half. 21. I'm looking at it right now. 20. Uh, what? Now, you know what, just, just give me the, uh, give me the over in USC. 59 and a half. I could, I could add USC Jack. I'll, I'll text you. Uh, our, uh, Georgia minus three and a half, uh, Notre Dame and I'm under 15 and a half Navy minus 13 and a half. Tulsa's really, really bad. Um, Navy can get that offense going scored a bunch of points. Last week, I think Navy's option. Tulsa's really bad. You do not want to be playing an option, uh, as with them. I'll take it over with a team that has not scored one point this season. Oh, uh, but I think UAB's defense is that bed, uh, and, and they, I'm going to take you over an acronym, UAB 55 and a half. Cal plus the one and a half and Texas state, Arizona state over 59 and a half. Okay. Uh, all right. I have, uh, on my card, I have Colorado plus five and a half at Houston. I have New Mexico plus 15 and a half against UCLA and over 52 and a half in that game. I have Wisconsin plus 21 and a half. It's whatever. That's just a heart pick. That's probably stupid. I also have Texas tech minus 23 and a half. I have USC minus 21. Backyard Brawl is going on. I have, uh, over 57 and a half in that game. Uh, I'm opposite. You did see that backyard brawl of like the plane flying into like the 9/11. Basically, yeah, like video. Yeah. Uh, I love like it. It's a, I'm very excited to watch that game. Uh, I'm opposite you, Dave on, uh, Tulane. I'm going to take Duke plus a half. I have, uh, pit minus seven also in backyard brawl and then I have plus a half. Yeah, Duke's plus a half. What did you say it was? I thought Tulane was plus. No, Duke's plus a half a point. Uh, Pittsburgh minus seven and the over in that game. Uh, Duke plus a half, uh, BC Stanford over 44 and a half. And, uh, wait, I had one more. Oh, no, I have my mortal. Uh, yeah, I have my mortal. So I saved my mortal. All right, uh, mortals. I'm going with, uh, Georgia Tech at home plus three and a half against Clemson. Okay. I like that pick. I'm not going to take that pick, but I like that pick, uh, soupie. I got Houston minus the five and a half Houston minus five and a half. Hank Notre Dame minus seven, Notre Dame, look at that rider. Uh, Jack, I'm going to take hold on. I got an issue with Jack. Um, he tweeted something that he said, it was a joke. You fucking dummy. All right, we all competing. I'm taking Bama and then Ebo has USC Purdue over what happened? What was that? I, we competing for the Bob the Aqua. It's a fucking esteemed trophy. Jack said, I'll take whatever Ebo takes. Can't do that. You got to come. It's a joke because he's doing really well, man. All right, Jack, we haven't had one issue today. We haven't had one issue today. Last Sunday, we agreed to a nice little dinner at Christmas. You're spinning it now. Yes, you are. You're getting out of control. Well, you're going to let him talk to you like that. Go, Rico, try to get me to front the bill because he was going to get me a reservation at the quarter store in New York. He's like, Oh, I heard you stole Jerry's guy. No, no, no, we, we manage the same accounts. Okay, you're a sucker for Romantics. You are a guy's stealer. Yeah, you say that, Dan, but you forget about your accounts, dude. You, it's like, it's boiler room. You forgot, like, oh, I opened them. You know, you should, you, you opened them and the guy forgot that he opened them. Like, keep tracking your accounts, man. Send the text. Happy fall this day. Fucking, you know, how you doing Sunday? How you don't think any of you? How you corner store, you got corner store, just like a fancy vibes place mutant food. Okay. Yeah, but it's still hard. Jack, he won't be eating. Yeah, it's gone for some drinks. Would you do a hook up, Dave? No. Okay. You want me to use one of my contacts for your hook up? No place. It starts with a tea. The Italian place, yeah. January, who's it for real life number one rider? Female got it. You, I don't got it. That's his wife. I assume I'd hope so. Yeah. By the way, if his wife wasn't a rider. Yeah. Yeah, shout out, Sully, who stopped by the office. He's the number one guy in her circle. It was Dave, you would have loved that we were in here doing the PMT book, because we basically tape it and then send it to the ghost writer. And Sully came in and it was just like, it was handshakes, kisses, you know, he's a made man, everyone treat him correctly. He was walking around this office, you know, anytime I said, anytime you want to come through, you're good. - I think that's crazy, but. - No, it's not, you're not a writer. - I'm not a writer. - Right, right. - We go over to it at the beginning of the year. Like, that's, was I? Yeah, we've had a good year. - Not going fucking wood. - Yeah, I, yes. I just, it's like, some of the things I just can't condone, and I don't wanna be the guy getting asked about, you know, drone strikes that I can't, like I can't condone. I don't wanna be Hank, who has to explain things that he knows are unexplainable. He does a pretty good job of explaining them. He just, he always has an explanation. All right, I'm gonna take, I'll add the USC over to my card. Obviously, it's not my mortal. My mortal's Arkansas Ole Miss over 61 and a half. Rico, did you give your mortal? - No, okay. - Finish off. - You can, you can take Iowa State first half, minus 10 and a half, but the mortal is Iowa State minus 21. The game is in Jonesboro. I've been to Jonesboro twice. Sadako Choj. Iowa State, you do not wanna go there willingly. I'm one of the only people in the country who went there willingly, twice. Iowa State's gonna beat the shit out of this team. Arkansas, Randall over Arkansas State. Iowa State's looked great. Iowa State takes care of business here. Runs it up big time. - So the game is your mortal? - Yes. - Okay, oh, App State minus 2 and a half also. Forgot that. All right, good show, boys. Yeah, good luck, pizza fast, Dave. Sold out and assume. Is Riko gonna go? - I don't know. I think the guy is going with maybe not going, so I don't know. - What do you mean? - Who are you going with? - I was, but also I mean, we're employees. You can go, you want us to go either way? You want me to go either way? - You don't have to go if you don't want him. - No, I want to go. We can't have Dante, right? And another fucking log text tweet, like, "Chame and people not going." So yeah, I'll go. That's why you go. - I wanna go. - That's why you're going. - So you don't have to go? - No, Dante. - No, no, the T, it's no. I didn't go the last time because I did, it was college football Saturday. I was covenanted seven or eight blogs that day, like locked into the games. But then you got mad at that. You said, "Hey, you should go." So all right, it's an excused absence. Go, you can still tune into the games. You've got Wi-Fi, make it work. Do both. It's good to see the people. Yeah, we'd love to have you. Okay, all right, good show, boys. See everyone next week.
