The episode blends promotional content with a dynamic pick-em betting discussion, featuring State Farm’s personalized coverage and DraftKings’ nationwide Game Day event. Hosts and guests debate college football picks, including Illinois vs. USC, Washington vs. Oregon, and Georgia vs. Alabama, with strong opinions on lines, injuries, and team performance. A central moment involves a heated exchange over whether a bet was placed on a game involving a milk-related incident, sparking a broader conversation about transparency, unit shaming, and trust in betting. The discussion also touches on team loyalty, vacation habits, and the absurdity of certain sports narratives, like the "Iron Bowl" being more significant than Duke’s games. The tone remains playful and candid, reflecting both the competitive spirit of pick-em culture and the personal bonds among the hosts. The episode concludes with a mix of strategic picks, personal anecdotes, and light-hearted debates, emphasizing community, accountability, and the human side of gambling.

Updated standings. Dave, you are at first place, 57%.
I'm in second place, 53%.
Rico, you're in third place, 41%.
Bob Diaco, I'm 4-0.
Zupi and Ibo, 3-1.
Hank and Jack and Rico are 2-2.
And Dave, you're 1-3.
And I guess we should start with. Statistical anomaly that I'm doing so good in my major picks.
And I, yeah.
I thought it was Memphis last week, but apparently I took Illinois.
Also, credit to you, ever since the pick sanctions came on,
I think you went from, like, last place to first.
So, good job on that.
You were 19-11 last week.
Yeah, I know.
The week before, when the sanctions came down, I had, like, my worst week
because I couldn't add anything.
But that's okay.
That's, you know, listen.
If you want to have an asterisk on this trophy over here, that's fine.
Credit to Rico, by the way.
Let's start with that.
Florida State over 20-and-a-half, second half.
What a bet.
One-one.
Well, who does that?
What a bet.
No, I mean, the obvious side is there's just. No way he could have lost that bet in any fashion, any form, any quarter, any half,
because Florida State killed him.
So, it didn't really prove anything, but, like, he was just right to take Florida State in that game.
I agree.
Actually, Ev had a good line.
He goes, you took the hardest route to get there.
I don't think your mic's on, Rico.
It's not?
Sounds like it is to me.
Zoopy tested it.
Is it his mic?
Is it the mic or just the computer mic?
Can you guys not hear?
It's his computer.
It's his computer mic.
Yeah.
It's your computer mic, Rico, not your actual mic.
He was having hard times with the wires before the show to get his mic to pop up.
All right.
So, what are we doing?
Oh, you're fine.
I didn't realize that.
Bad wire.
We got wire problems, Rico?
Yeah, it's whatever.
Wait, so, Zoopy, am I coming through?
You're coming through.
You're coming through, but you just, you look silly because you're talking into something that's not on.
All right, so, all right, fair enough.
That's my bad, Rico.
All right, it is what it is.
He takes a bad rider these days.
We'll get to him.
We're going to get to him.
I know.
I have no idea what's coming.
Why?
We'll see, Dave.
We'll see.
We'll get to it.
But also.
Also, no one even knows who Hank is.
I side with him.
Right.
I side with him.
28 to 1, boys.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You didn't bet it, though, did you?
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Let's see the slip, because I'll tell you right now, I didn't bet it because.
I didn't bet it.
You forced a pick out of me.
I didn't even think about betting it.
Same, Dave.
He literally forced the pick out of me as I was standing up to go do something.
I didn't even think for a second to bet it.
That's good.
He's forcing winners out of you.
Who had the Tulsa?
Me.
Rico.
Yeah.
Great pick.
Great pick.
And Memphis was 6 1⁄2.
That was a good pick.
Yeah.
And yours was like 2?
Yeah, Arizona State, Dicey Lee.
So you guys are mad at him for pushing winners out of you?
Dicey Lee.
No, I'm not mad at him.
You say Dicey.
Dicey late to that one, but not Memphis.
Arkansas fumbled.
Oh, well, yeah.
I figured we knew that, obviously.
Yeah.
I mean, the Memphis one, they pulled it out with that fumble.
Yeah, for sure.
No, I'm not mad at Rico at all.
I wish I had taken it.
I didn't.
There wasn't.
I heard rumors you didn't bet it.
Like, people were asking for the slip, and then you didn't show it.
Yes, I did.
I'll be honest.
I did not bet it.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Pull it up.
I am.
I am.
I am.
All right, pull it up.
I hate that.
That gotcha culture shit, though.
It's not your fault, Dave.
I know you're just.
But I just.
I hate that shit.
It drives me fucking insane.
It's gotcha culture, Dave.
Yeah, I wish I bet it.
I was pissed I didn't bet it.
I don't bet every.
I've lost 9,000 straight parlays.
I wish I bet it.
I'm betting everybody's parlay.
I think the problem was.
Was that in the app?
Like, bet the underdog.
I didn't even see it.
No, it wasn't in the thing.
Yes, it was.
It was in the app.
It was in the app.
No, it was because it was Utah, because we flew to Utah.
And I forgot to bet it.
I bet all my games before I left.
And then when we landed in Utah, I saw Rico tweeting about it.
And I was like, God damn it.
So what did you win?
Three-pick parlay.
28-76.
What'd you win?
What?
We're not unit-dinging.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm just asking.
You're digging and diving here.
Was that on the app, or was that just a screenshot from Twitter?
That's a screenshot.
Jack, I'm not.
I'm just asking you a question.
Okay.
Can we please make sure we get subtitles for Jackie Germany, too?
Make sure we get the subtitles for all four of our audiences.
You almost just break down.
I mean, it's not great.
I hate to say it.
I don't want to say what I'm about to say.
Say whatever you want.
I'm not 100% sure you bet it.
Okay.
That's fine.
You know what?
Then open with that clip, and that's fine.
No, just show us your app.
I did.
I had it, man.
It's in the thing.
I pulled it up via the app.
I saved it, Dan.
I'm not.
What's happening?
I'm having.
It's hard.
Got your culture?
Got your culture.
The fucking.
Is there something that's going on beneath the surface right now?
Like, what's going on?
I don't know.
I got some kind of rash breakout.
I got some kind of rash breakout on my fucking leg.
Oh, yeah.
Dave, Dave, Dave.
We made him drink milk.
And they made me drink milk, Dave.
They made him drink milk.
But here's the thing.
Like, this is the thing, right?
They're like, Rico, you miserable fuck.
Like, you horrible human.
I come in like, hey, guys.
Like, good to see you.
You know, like.
I didn't say that.
No, no.
Finish the story.
I know.
I'm just saying.
And then what?
And then what was the thing that was so bad?
Drinking the milk, Hank.
I'm so lost on what is happening.
What do you mean?
You drank milk and now you're crying?
I'm not crying.
It's just a lot.
I'm just having a wee time.
You're like, very close to crying because we asked to see the slip.
Which, who cares?
If you put a dollar on it, you put a dollar on it.
I just want to see you slip.
I had it.
I just saved it to photos with the three checks.
But you can literally go into your app.
Yeah, go into the app.
Be like, close bets and just show it.
That's what I did.
No, you didn't.
You showed us a picture.
No, you like, maneuvered the phone.
So, like, we couldn't see it.
What, a unit shame, I guess?
But a dollar's a dollar.
You bet it, you bet it.
No unit shaming.
It's just, I want to believe you bet it.
You almost cried.
But why won't you just show it?
I'll get it.
I'll get it.
Yeah, we don't care about the money you bet on it.
I wish I bet on it.
Guess what?
I've been betting so bad.
What does milk have to do with anything?
Hank brought up the milk.
What is wrong with milk?
You don't like milk?
By the way, can I just say something?
No, I hate milk.
All right, here it is.
Wait, hold on.
Hold on.
Why are you putting the, oh, that's the pencil.
Okay, so that looks like you bet it.
So shut up, okay, Jack?
Shut up.
Funen slagen.
Funen slagen.
I don't know why you would cry over this.
I got to go to the doctor.
I don't want to.
Did you see the milk clip?
I want to see the rash.
What, you don't like milk?
They made, who made you drink milk?
We were playing Life Size Clue, which is like a simple board game.
It was very, it wasn't like a punishment streamer.
Like, it wasn't like a high intensity.
We played a game.
It went quick.
We're like, oh, let's play another one.
Maybe put some mousetraps in.
And then Nick was joking.
He was like, all right, if you roll a six, you have to drink a glass of milk.
And Rico has never drank milk in his life.
He rolled it.
He was like, he rolled a six, drank milk.
It took him 15 minutes to drink it.
He was puking.
Fake puking, possibly.
Some were saying, not me.
Glass of milk, guys.
Lay off him.
He's going through it right now.
You could never be Santa.
Oh, no way.
Fuck.
There's no way.
That was pretty funny.
I'll drink if he pukes I'm puking
It's not a real puke
This guy's not even a rider and then he but then he broke out into hives he broke out into hives do you still have him
Yeah, kind of like it's fucking this thing over here, and then it's whatever when did this happen to Tuesday night?
But you like milkshakes and you like ice cream yeah, I'm fucked up
I'm a fucked up guy
I've never heard of that like I've heard of lactose intolerant people you just don't like milk
What are you doing with your headphones? Why you keep putting them on and off like that? They were slide in there slide
They're not really not even plugged in Dave
They can walk. Yeah, where are we at like I see you?
What is going on?
Just fucking this is nuts
In a good week last week
I think I've been Rico fact or fiction if I not
Been yeah, you've been a good guys for right of the year. You could just been like did you bet it?
Yeah, here. It is done. There you go. You're right instead. We're talking about milk and crying over. We're literally crying over spilled milk
Bosco is there any chance that unit is under a dollar?
I just I just need to know
Come on, but he didn't put the you he still hasn't in that thing showed us how much he bet
It with a pencil because we got a bunch of hardos not the only there was well
We already think it's as little as it could humanly be so that so that's great. It is what it is. All right, let's
But if you put it in for one cent that is literally just you doing it so that this when this conversation comes up
You can show can you benefit actually game? No, you can better that five cents. I think is no, that's not
No, no Betty first set is different than Betty for a dot Betty percent is literally just so that you can pass this
Conversation Oh, maybe I don't know. No way
Just tell us what it is how much now
It's not one cent that's you right how much
Was it an actual bet or was just an actual
Happening you want to show why won't you tell us because you have hardos on the internet Dave? They're hardos. They don't stop
I got a note, but you get they already
Think it's as low as it can be. So there's nothing that's fine. So then that's imagination. It's like Kate Upton's tits
It's in their imagination. Like if you show me it's $2. I'm gonna be like good hit
Yes, okay, then there you go
But if it's one cent, I'm gonna be like that's not one cent. It's not what is sent. What is it?

so wait jackie how drunk did you get in germany not that bad okay and what was the great
opportunity who took i i that was i misspoke but no who took you there uh just a guy we know in
chicago oh okay that is that sounds like a great opportunity i can't pass that up i don't really
i don't really want to go into anymore what's the uh march madness trip this year you guys
going to south africa taking any more vacations no you can take vacations no on sunday our gambling
guy on sunday in nfl week two that's nuts you know what i was doing on sunday and we're working
sitting in a little
you
anywhere literally on the globe and i'm sitting in a four by four cell waiting to do my show and
it's 80 and sunny i got nowhere to go that's what i was doing and losing everything everything
dave and i were texting on sunday that was uh all the rams game that rams game and you misled me
when i woke up where you're like we're back
i was like we hit this parlay okay in my defense we we bet chiefs i thought you bet chiefs big i bet
chiefs big we just we decided i had chiefs 50 on the chiefs 50 on that parlay 100 on the red socks
red socks got fucking wiped out so the parlay i thought we were gonna get early exit which we
should have but fucking jackie jackie octoberfest was was all the way in munich oh yeah yeah dave
you it's fine you you owe me
probably 75 grand 80 grand jack so you honestly do like we're joking but you do because the other
because of the kicker yeah the kicker came in yeah but it would have already been out he would
have been so i was we were recording pmt what happened was we bet gruden's parlay dave parlay
and it was so it was russell wilson under yards not even close not even close it was
not even close winner yeah yeah it was he proved like 100 yards he needed 230 what was the other
thing rushing yards over 40 he had 50 and two field goals from graham gano and graham gano was
hurt before the game they announced it like literally as kickoff happened they're like
i'm gonna text jackie jackie tables we'll get this kicked off so you're still gonna win the
parlay the other two but gano's hurt he didn't play for the first half he he texted me i'll
have it i'm gonna text jackie draft kings will probably refund i didn't know he's at octoberfest
on an nfl sunday yep you would be eighty thousand dollars yeah so i text so so there are draft kings
does a great thing where they do early exit if a guy gets hurt doesn't play at all in the first
half and you bet a prop they'll you still gotta win the rest of the parlay which we did which we
did but they'll void that leg so uh like it happened with cd lamb cd lamb goes out in the
second play of the game against the bears and they void it jackie graham gano i was recording pmt
and i see they kick a field goal i just assumed it was
the punter dave because we don't have the sound on i didn't realize till after the game that it
was graham gano yeah because graham gano they said he got hurt before the game is questionable
he didn't do kickoffs he they went for an extra point they forego a field goal he wasn't playing
that the whole thing would have been voided but jackie's taking vacation
and fucking week two of the nfl season because somebody in chicago had a great opportunity
what a joke this league is fix it fix it jack do you owe me 80 grand i don't know what that
parlay would have been it was plus 500 they would have to rearrange the odds but i had 50
i 80 you owe me at least 100 they were both little plus monies you owe me 100 grand figure it out
fix it jackie are you gonna fix it yes the uh yeah i know what would the what would it have paid out
at least 100 would have been double god damn it yeah so that's why i text you we're back because
i didn't realize that i was gonna fix it i didn't realize that i was gonna fix it i didn't realize
it was graham ganoe that came in i thought it was yeah he like limped in and did like a hero act and
kicked a 18 yard field goal and then fell over i had no idea so when the chiefs won and i was like oh
this will probably be an early exit because of graham ganoe i had no idea that it would have
been if jackie if jackie was on top of that and not gallivanting the globe with a great
opportunity on the second week of the nfl season they probably would have done it before he even
came back yeah i put 4500 on it just so if you want to keep it up to up to date
there 110 grannies down then all right uh that was a good start to pick them
rico how are you doing overall like you you you the milk thing really bothered you huh
no it just hank brought it up i mean i got over it the next day i was fine it's just uh
yeah i'm all right it's just for the rest like that's that's i try to be civil and jackie comes

miss but the the the cheating play i don't get like i don't know how that's not reviewable
and i don't know like are you a scumbag for calling that play if you're oklahoma it's like
you're cheating i i don't know i mean i like there's clearly an illegal play it they've been
warned about that play they do the play hugh freeze is arguing in real time about the play
i just don't know how you go don't go back and throw a 15-yard penalty and be like
it's clearly an illegal play that was crazy yeah
it was pretty crazy uh they're done the tears hurt so well they're not done i don't know but
here's out for two or three weeks i think i said um and i think oklahoma let me see what their
schedule i was impressed with michigan even though they didn't win by a lot i thought they were very
dominant against nebraska and i have i i if you said dave not even michigan like are they going
to make the playoffs i think they are that drive that drive at the end was something yeah they
have to play with underwood i would have said he was going to score 100 out of 100 times it looked
like he had two blockers in front he's a big guy didn't score that was the first time i was like
how did he not score there but yeah no i'm happy with their progression and he'll keep getting
better uh biff poji with one of the worst coaching decisions of all time at the end of the half and
the first half oh my god idiotic he's just bit ball that's you kind of got a lot of ball you
live by the biff sword you die by the biff sword that was an absolute guy that would do that yeah
now the only thing i'll say uh is rule wasn't doing it on purpose he fell into it like he wasn't
like i'm gonna set this guy up like i don't know what they were doing they gave up and started
running the ball which was nuts but yeah that was the second i saw it i started walking out of the
room and they turned around i was in the cave i'm like there's gonna be a touchdown now because they
just gave him a free hail mary and that would have been a devastating way to lose that game they also
like taunting call that led to a touchdown but overall they dominated that team yeah they did
uh i agree with you michigan like they their schedule sets up they should be in the playoff
uh by the way oklahoma so they have a bye week this week kent state and then texas so probably
he comes back yeah this is probably something he needed for a while and they were like hey we got
to just do this now because you basically have three weeks until texas yeah uh and then they
have a tough schedule after that all right
let's do picks, let's do the five games.
At Raising Cane's, we focus on making the most craveable chicken finger meals,
getting them right every time.
That's why we hand batter every chicken finger,
mix every cane sauce,
butter every Texas toast,
stir every slaw,
salt every fry,
squeeze every lemon,
and brew every ounce.
We do this inside every Raising Cane's every day
because when you do it right, you can taste it in every bite.
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.
One love.
Okay, we're going to start with the game we're going to be at.
Illinois, USC.
Illinois got absolutely smacked by Indiana, USC.
USC's probably got a legitimate complaint about the scheduling here.
They played 11 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday night against Michigan State.
Now they play noon Eastern on Saturday.
The line is 6 1⁄2.
The over-under is 61 1⁄2.
Dave, I'll start with you because we're going to that game.
Yeah.
So I was wrong on Illinois.
I didn't watch much of it.
I'm going on Altmeyer, I think, as a good quarterback.
I am also, I watched the first half of USC last week in Michigan State.
I had the over, hit easily.
I loved it.
I think the guys are right.
There was a major injury at the end of the first half
that really slowed that game down.
I think the schedule here is a major factor.
I think them, I don't like these outside Oregon.
I don't like USC and UCLA, they stink.
Coming to the Midwest, I think they're soft teams.
Illinois, if they have any pride, will be ready for this game.
I think it'll be close.
I like Illinois in the points.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to agree with you.
I'm going to take Illinois in the points.
I just.
I also like the over 61 1⁄2.
This is a brutal spot schedule-wise, and I do think Illinois is not a bad team.
I think they were in a bad spot because Indiana.
I mean, Cignetti is similar to Harbaugh at Michigan.
When he's got it, when he knows he's going to win,
he's going to really fucking rub it in.
You know what I mean?
Like, he's going to run it up.
He's always finding little things that he's pissed off about.
Actually, I'm going to go over 61-and-a-half.
I'm going to stay away from the side.
But I do think Illinois will stay in this game.
Rico, your pick.
I'll take the bait.
I'll take USC.
I feel like an idiot, obviously, of how bad Illinois looked last week.
But I've been on this USC team.
I do think they're pretty good.
I'm going to take USC minus the 6-and-a-half.
Okay.
To Dave's point, they came into – I know it's not the same.
Illinois is obviously better.
But they did okay against Purdue.
Not really.
They didn't cover.
I had Purdue.
Yeah, 1-by-16.
Did not cover.
You're right.
They didn't cover.
They didn't cover against Michigan.
They didn't cover against Michigan State either.
Yeah, Michigan State put up 30 points.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
What was the final score in that game?
42-31 or something.
Yeah, that's not covering.
They're 18-and-a-half-point favorites.
No, they didn't cover.
They did jump out to a 17-3 lead against Purdue.
That doesn't count as covering.
I agree.
Both can be true.
I also had USC in that game, so I know that they did not cover.
Yeah, I had Purdue.
That was a winner for me.
The Michigan State game –
If you come out of the Midwest for these early starts, it's tough.
The Michigan State game was out West, though, just for the record.
Well, yeah, because, I mean, it's tough to go from the latest start time
in college football to the earliest if you're not playing on the West Coast.
Yeah.
That's fair.
This is going to be a great game.
It's just, what a weekend.
With the Ryder Cup, too, it's going to be an incredible weekend.
Here's my annual take.
I don't find the Ryder Cup interesting.
Oh.
Go on.
I just don't.
I –
Like, golf –
Golf doesn't hit.
It's not like a contact sport.
I have a hard time with those, like, videos.
Yeah, the firefighter talking to, like, the team, but I don't, like –
I don't know.
It's just I don't put American pride in golf.
I think if you ask –
Obviously, they bitched and moaned about getting paid.
And I think if you ask any single one of those guys,
hey, if you could win the Ryder Cup or win, like, the Honda Invitational,
they won't hesitate to say,
give me the Honda Invitational.
I disagree with that.
I think –
I mean, some tournaments, yeah, but the random ones –
No, I think they'd all rather win a single than this team.
I just –
Are you talking about the Americans?
Because I think that's why we get –
that's why we lose a lot is the Europeans do actually –
Yeah, I'm talking about the Americans.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it does feel like the Europeans actually care a lot.
Maybe more than us.
Yeah, I mean, they're not getting paid.
I mean, the bitch didn't get paid, obviously.
And they're like, we didn't really care, but you did because you wanted to be –
like, you bitched to get paid.
I don't know.
It just doesn't do it.
It's like, oh, we beat Europe.
Like, I don't really –
maybe it's sort of like the America's Cup, like,
Connor, that guy, the sailing.
Like, it's just a thing I don't, like, really care about.
It is the only time they compete as a team in golf, though.
No, that's just blatantly untrue, right?
What's the other one?
President's Cup.
Live.
Live.
Okay.
I mean, President's Cup is, like, that's why they're like,
we get paid for the President's Cup.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, tickets are also expensive.
It's one of those things where it's like everyone else is making money,
and it makes sense why the players should, too.
What do you – Dave, this is – we won the Ryder Cup.
My team won the Barstool Ryder Cup.
Is that out yet?
It's out.
It's finished.
Okay.
That was finished two seconds into it.
Well, I know that, but I didn't know if there was, like, one –
I mean, Kirk, Kirk, I don't know.
You guys, I'm sure you won't talk about it.
Kirk ruined – like, Kirk, that was lost the second Kirk hijacked the draft.
100%.
Well, I would also say whichever team ended up with me.
Well, I mean, the way they did it where it's like all the four-play guys
and couldn't do this, and Kirk's going to be like, well, I played great.
Yeah, but you ruined the whole thing.
So, nice job.
What – we have an $80,000 bet as a team,
and me and Jerry are trying to convince the group chat to, like, take a shot,
and everyone else is like, we want to take a heavy favorite.
And Dave said Riggs has final say.
Well, Riggs is a captain.
Yeah.
Any – what, like – I just don't know where to try and lead everyone.
So, how much was it per person?
$10,000.
$20,000.
$20,000.
And they said you can do – yeah, it's $80,000 minus $200,000 max.
Wait, what?
How many people are on our team?
There's eight people?
Oh, so it was $10,000.
Yeah, it's $10,000.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then with the possibility for $20,000 or more.
Yeah, correct.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I were you, I would – I'd go, like, a two-to-one.
I would try to take a shot.
I mean, it varies.
$10,000 means different to a lot of different people.
I mean, I probably – like, if I walk away with $20,000 out of it,
I'm probably happy for a normal.
So, I would just probably do, like, a straight game is probably what I would do.
A straight game?
Yeah.
I mean, then, listen, if you want to, like, then take a shot by yourself, you can.
Yeah, true.
There's nothing stopping you from then putting $20,000 on another game.
Good point.
Good point.
True.
All right.
Ohio State at Washington.
Washington plus seven and a half.
Over-under is 51 and a half.
I'll start.
I think I'm going to take Washington in this game.
I know I'm going to take Washington.
Ah, this line, Danny.
This line is screaming.
I know.
No, I agree with you.
Yeah, yeah.
I agree with you.
I think Washington wins this game.
Yeah.
The line opened at 15.
I know.
It's at seven and a half.
And this quarterback's never played a – really, this Texas team, not that great.
Who they beat.
That's the thing.
Where everyone's putting Ohio State – I think Ohio State's –
very good but it's all what they put arch in a fucking torture arch stinks stinks sam houston
put him in a torture chamber thanks you're going to one of the toughest places to play in the
country great coach first true road test for this quarterback oh oh oh watch out i like the huskies
outright yeah uh by the way i think sam houston was the game that arch actually played well yeah
that he pulled the bosco yeah he that he did a bosco city he he bullied a little guy he's like
i i'm not i'm not running with the big dogs but hey fucking you know uh trista crick i'm gonna
get in your face yeah that's what he did we were doing so well we were doing so well the bosco
though he was flexing on a on a sam houston state player yeah we're doing so well we're doing so
fucking well what do you got in this
game bosco i'll take the over i think washington can score i'll take the over okay uh here's a fun
one lsu old miss old miss minus one and a half over under 55 and a half we had this disagreement
on pmt dave i want to hear your take i don't think it's a big deal everyone's making this huge deal
that uh lane kiffin's daughter's dating the linebacker i actually think it's it's how it
would help lane if anything because he probably talks to him and gets a little fucking information
first of all it was all programmed with this espnw thing and if you're lane kiffin do you want your
daughter dating like the starting linebacker at lsu or some tiktok dweeb you want the linebacker
at lsu he's probably happy as a pig and shit that they're dating so yeah this isn't a thing at all
like they're trying to make oh you drop this on game week first of all they clearly it was
orchestrated they knew it and if you have a daughter you're not going to be able to
you want her to date the star football player
not a wiggle dicker so one of the great non-stories of all time thank you
Are those the only two options of people you can date?
No, but everyone's saying that it's like this, oh, my God.
Yeah, well, yes, yes.
Oh, LSU player fucking dicking down Lane Kiffin.
Like, first of all, Lane Kiffin and his daughter seem like they have a great relationship.
He's probably known about this for three months.
Who else is she going to date, Hank?
She's a very pretty girl with a famous last name.
She's not dating the U's of the world.
She's dating either, like, a football player or a famous TikTok dweeb.
Frat guy, Ole Miss frat guy.
Oh, what would you rather?
What would you rather, a linebacker at LSU or a frat guy at Ole Miss?
And these frats at, by the way, Ole Miss, I hate the sororities.
The sororities at Ole Miss, some of the worst people ever.
Yeah, I mean, that feels.
Yeah, that is personal.
Yeah.
Big old titties, she knows.
Who?
You'll have to tell me after.
Yeah, the only way, like, I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.
And I think, actually, if you're.
If you're Weeks, the guy dating Lane Kiffin's daughter.
And let's, I'm going under the assumption they've been dating for three months.
Okay, let's just say that.
And it's been under wraps.
You've probably met Lane Kiffin.
You're probably a little intimidated by Lane Kiffin.
Lane Kiffin's probably asked you a couple questions about how's camp going?
How's the defense looking?
What sets are you guys running?
That's not a crazy leap of logic, is it?
Well, never mind that.
That's weird.
How is that weird?
It's a little weird.
His daughter is not distracted.
Listen, all this hoopla law, the daughter's not distracted.
She's not lining up.
She's not putting the chin strap on.
The boyfriend is.
So, again, this is a non-story.
I bet Lane is thrilled they're dating.
That is, you'd rather the star football player than the frat guy or the TikTok kid.
Period.
You know what it is?
It's a bunch of people who are too old or too young to remember.
A.J. Hawk and Brady Quinn.
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah.
That was no.
She went with a split jersey.
And, by the way, Lane would probably, her date, somebody not on his team.
So, I am.
Correct.
Why are you trying to get me to do the weird thing?
Because you want me to bring up the Tom Brady.
I thought it was weird.
Yeah, it was a joke.
Yeah.
Because I do think that's so weird.
Do you think it's weird, Dave, that Tom Brady's in the booth calling plays and then talking?
Okay.
Oh, man.
That blew up in your face, Hank.
And then, all right.
So, wait.
Let's do this pick because then it's going to blow up even more in your face with the
next game.
I'm taking Ole Miss minus one and a half.
Same.
Ole Miss.
Okay.
Oregon versus State Penn.
State Penn is minus three and a half over under is 51 and a half.
Hank is going to the game, Dave.
He's going to the game with Max.
We got a sold thing.
They're doing a meet and greet.
They're doing the whiteout.
Hank is rooting for.
State Penn.
I like Oregon here.
I don't know that they're going to win, but pick them.
Like, so give me the field goal.
All right.
So, let's ask.
The real conversation is here.
You're riding them because I'm going for rider of the year.
You are the reigning rider of the year.
You're going to State Penn and you're rooting for State Penn against Rico's duckies.
Listen, there's Rico.
And I think Rico, there's probably a bunch of examples of this, especially, you know,
without the Alabamas of the world.
It's like you have your morals.
You stand on your high horse and stuff.
But someone sends you a jumpsuit.
Someone invites you to go on the field.
You go into the game.
Like, Dave, you do it when you go to these games.
It's fun to go to a game.
I don't really have a rooting preference between Penn State and Oregon.
I don't think this is.
I want the whole team to win.
I don't think this is bad ridership at all.
Okay.
I got a question because this just triggered something in my brain.
This might have gone the wrong direction for my rider of the year.
Rico, question for you.
This just popped in my brain.
How quickly did you text?
Steven Pearl after he got the job about an hour?
He's always he's always shit, dude.
You're in Alabama.
You're you're Nate Oates ride or die.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
Nate.
Do you think Dave would text the new Ohio State coach when Ryan Digg like gets fired
someday?
Yeah, but Dave went there and he only roots for one team.
They know I don't want to say and Steve have been great to barstool, but I don't.
I would.
I would text, uh, Patricia, but he knows his guy.
Yeah, he is my guy.
But Dan, Dave said this the other day, no, he stayed on wake up barstool.
Listen, the Alabama people, they want me to hate Auburn.
I hope Alabama wins every game.
I hope Auburn wins every game, except the two that they play, obviously, and don't win
the title, but it's good for Dave said this on wake up barstool.
It's good for the big 12 when they're rooting for their conference.
Okay.
So with the SEC, they have changed the eyes of college basketball to the SEC.
The Iron Bowl is becoming bigger than Duke Carolina on that date.
It was last year.
Totally false.
Not even close.
Not even close.
Just totally one of the most obscene statements ever said.
That's the beauty of Rico.
He had me there.
Like, that was actually a really good answer by you.
They were both.
You went a little too long.
That game had more juice.
That's where they went for the show.
The line at Duke.
That's insane.
In certain years.
Yes.
No, never.
Never.
Never.
The country doesn't matter if they're both winless.
That game that not overall that day.
It had more juice.
Yes, it did.
Yes, it did.
No, I'm there.
Yes, it did.
It had more juice.
Never.
That day it did because it was like one verse two, wasn't it?
That's what I'm saying.
Not overall, but as you're building and you're building this and the Iron Bowl, I don't care
about that day.
No.
Super.
Powerful.
You need Alabama and Auburn to be really good.
That's the two.
They don't call it the Iron Bowl either.
Yeah, they don't call it the Iron Bowl.
Rico, let me ask you a very important question.
Does Nate Oates know that you text Steve Pearl?
They know I'm friendly with Steve.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
They're recruiting the same.
They're in the same.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Okay.
I'm just I want to know where Nate Oates, you know, he's okay with it.
You think he doesn't know he's there's no way he knows.
They've known they've seen the pictures right now.
Text Nate Oates right now and be like, hey, just so you know, I texted Steve Pearl.
They know they've seen the pictures of us at the final four shows with Pearl.
They know where we're at with.
Okay.
All right.
So back to this game.
Dave or Rico.
So are you I mean, this is this is your matchup.
This is your duckies or state pen whiteout.
The line three and a half over 51 and a half.
I mean, yeah, you want it now.
It's the more.
Oh, you could take you could take the three and a half points and shove them up your ass.
Oh, we don't need because we don't need them.
Franklin against ranked 12 and 26, three and 17 against the top 10, one and 14 against the top five.
Drew and Aller four and five against ranked teams completes like 50 percent of his passes throws for 151 yards.
He's not going to be moving the ball.
They're not going to light it up.
I like landing.
I like more.
The duckies are doing the thing.
They win the game on the field.
And they embarrass everybody out there who probably was going to be on the Jumbotron because they got a jumpsuit with no morals.
That's what they're going to do, Hanky.
So take the three quack quack.
Hanky and and Dan knows too, because like, you know, he's had conversations about college like, oh, there's no real like superpower team yet.
Who's really showcasing?
He alluded to it last week.
He goes, watch out when the duckies go next week.
They could rise to the top of steam in the top team in the country.
Yeah, if they win this game, I think that conversation.
We'll be about them.
Obviously, quack quack Miami's got a bye week.
Did you see Rico on PMT?
I said, I'm white out, though.
I dress.
Yeah, that's the other thing.
That's the other thing.
Franklin with his stupid glasses took a shot at Fox in his press conference.
What do you say?
Now that's a shot at us.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, I bleed Fox.
Okay.
One time, two time appearance.
I bleed Fox.
So they he goes, oh, I know Fox thinks that 12 o'clock noon is the same as night.
You know, all this and that.
Hey, buddy, win a fucking game, pal.
Quack, quack, get in the pond.
Facts.
I'm taking Oregon plus three and a half.
I do think it's going to be about making witnesses who know things go disappearing in their car.
Okay, Jamesy.
I'm going to.
I do think the Penn State's going to be able to run the ball.
I do not trust Drew Aller.
I don't know.
Drew Aller's not not the guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's going to be a tough, tough game.
It's gonna be a really tough game, but I'm gonna take Oregon plus three and a half.
I will take the points.
Dave, do you have a pick?
Yeah, I said, I think, I think it's a pick them.
So I'll give me the field goal.
If it was the other way and Penn State was plus three and a half, I'd take them, but I'll take the points.
Sounds like he's a little upset that you're, you're going in the whiteout.
I don't, I don't know what you want me to do.
It's a, it's a sponsored thing.
And yeah, if I'm at a school that I don't really have any, you know, allegiances toward where ducky I'm rooting for the home.
No, I'm rooting for the home team.
We're going to be on the field.
I have, that's not that I have no problem with that.
I know it's, but, but it's after Kansas state last year and it's yeah.
You forgot about Kansas state last year.
I also forgot about Kansas state last year.
For the, for the listeners, what happened with Kansas state last year?
Yeah, they didn't win.
They didn't win.
Okay.
So Hank was right.
Hank was right.
All right.
Yeah.
My money's green, Hank.
You're right.
Yeah.
All right.
Last game.
I don't even remember what I did.
Georgia at Alabama, Alabama, or sorry, Alabama at Georgia, Georgia's minus three over under
is 52 and a half.
Jam Miller back for Alabama should be good for the running game.
I'm going to take the over in this game, 52 and a half.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Kirby Smart's had an Alabama problem.
I don't know if that was a Nick Saban problem.
Obviously, last year they lost as well.
Will be interesting.
This is a massive, massive game for Kalen DeBoer.
Like, if he wins this, his seat is immediately a lot cooler.
And if he loses this, holy shit.
I feel like Alabama fans are going to be pretty upset.
What do you guys got in this game?
I actually can go in opposite of you, Dan.
I like the under.
You touched on Kirby Smart, 1-9 in his last 10 against Bama.
I'm sorry, Georgia, 1-9 in the last 10 against Bama.
Kirby Smart, 1-6 against Bama.
But I like the under.
Yeah, I think there's going to be points in this game.
I think Georgia's defense is not great.
It's not like classic Georgia defense.
I think Gunnar Stockton looked – he kind of answered some questions
in the Tennessee game for me.
Like, he can sling it a little.
And I think Ty Simpson's pretty good too.
I think that Florida State game was obviously really bad.
But, yeah, I think there's going to be points in this game.
Dave, what do you got?
The line – I like Simpson, like a lot.
And I've said that I think Florida State may go down
when we look at the end of the season and be,
oh, they're like kind of a national title contender.
So the Alabama loss doesn't look – the Alabama loss to them
doesn't look nearly as bad.
This line to me screams they want people to take Georgia.
Like three points at home.
I like Alabama here.
I think Alabama wins the game.
I think it's high scoring.
But I think Alabama's – they're better.
I think people just got off track on them because of that Florida State game.
And I like Florida State.
I said that going into that game.
I like Alabama and the over here.
And Simpson, I could see him working his way back into a Heisman candidate.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.
At Boar's Head, we've been going back to school for over 115 years.
And this year, every school lunch is reason to celebrate.
With the flavors you're going to love.
With the kids' love.
And the exceptional quality you expect.
Helping you make school lunch fresh, easy, and delicious.
Ring the bell.
The deli is open.
Boar's Head, committed to craft since 1905.
All right, Rico, your card.
Sure.
TCU, Arizona State, over 55 and a half.
Jack, I wrote these down.
64 and a half.
Okay, they're definitely going to move.
North Texas, minus 12 and a half.
I like Arkansas, plus the 4 and a half.
I think they can win the game on the field as well.
I'll also take the over, 64 and a half.
ND stands for no defense, the way they've been playing.
Give me the over.
USC, minus the 6 and a half.
Tulane, Tulsa, over 53 and a half.
And the Duckees, plus the 3 and a half.
Dave?
Arizona State, I like this team.
I like them.
I had them last week at home, minus 3 and a half against TCU.
Houston, minus 13 and a half on the road against Oregon State.
That seems a debacle.
I like that.
You're telling me, what?
I said I like that.
I have that on my card.
Everyone keeps telling me UCF is like the worst team in the Pac-12,
and I don't, Big 12, I mean, I don't get why people are saying that.
They're undefeated.
They smashed Belichick last week, plus 5 and a half.
Kansas State may be one of the worst teams in the country,
so I'll take the points.
I'll take the points here with UCF.
They're undefeated.
They struggled in one game.
Everyone's like, they're terrible.
Other than that, they've cruised.
So, they're a decent program and have been.
So, I don't really get that.
Syracuse coming off that big win, plus 6 and a half at home against Duke.
That, to me, is coin flip.
Arkansas at home against Notre Dame.
Is there, you got to bounce.
The only thing that worries me in this game is the way Arkansas lost.
Like, going in to win, fumble and go in.
Do you get back up?
I think they do here, and I like the over, 63 and a half.
So, Arkansas, the points and the over.
I already gave out Illinois, plus 6 and a half.
I like the over in that game.
We have. Washington, by the way, is 8 and a half.
8 and a half now?
Yeah, 8 and a half.
Okay, good.
Is that your favorite outright dog, Dave?
Washington?
Are we running it back?
To win?
Yeah.
Might as well.
I'll look at everything I got and let you know.
Baylor, minus 20 and a half.
Against Oak State.
Gundy gone.
That program is disarray.
I do not think this will be, like, play for the interim guy.
I think they get smashed again.
Ole Miss at home.
I like them.
BLCU, I think LSU is trash.
This is scary.
I'm always on Iowa.
Indiana looks unbelievable last week.
Iowa at home.
I think they keep this game close.
Plus 7 and a half.
Auburn, plus 6 and a half against A&M.
Another one where it's like, how is Auburn doing?
I'm going to respond.
I think the way they lost is not so much crushing and maybe more motivating.
Like, we won that game.
I also have Auburn, and I think it's my theory of you just played maybe the best defense in the country in Oklahoma,
and now you're going to play a defense that's not going to put, like, Texas A&M's defense is not that good.
I think that changed, too.
They got sacked 10 times.
It's not going to happen again.
Oregon, plus 3 and a half at Penn State.
I got Bama, plus 3 and a half.
Georgia, over 52 and a half.
Missouri, minus 43 and a half against UMass.
Okay.
My card, I am on Duke, Syracuse, under 61 and a half.
I think there's going to be a little bit of a slow start there.
Early kickoff, Syracuse off a big win.
Lost their starting quarterback.
Iowa State, minus 6 and a half.
That's against Arizona.
North Texas, over 61 and a half.
I'm going to keep betting North Texas overs until they don't hit.
That's just a respect over.
TCU, Arizona State, over 54 and a half.
Auburn, plus 6 and a half.
Same reasoning as Dave.
Houston, minus 13 and a half.
Memphis, FAU, over 61 and a half.
Bowling Green, over 51.
Toledo, minus 21.
Air Force, minus 6 and a half.
Stanford, minus 3.
That's my card.
And then I have my mortal.
Oh, sorry.
And Virginia, plus 7.
That's a Friday night game.
One game we didn't talk about.
Maybe real quick.
Do you think Mississippi State gives Tennessee a game?
Plus 8 and a half at home?
I don't know.
That's like such a. I was looking at that game, and it's like. There's a couple.
Arizona, Iowa State.
That's a tough one.
Yeah, I like Iowa State in that game.
Yeah, that's a tough game, Mississippi State.
I don't know.
Are they for real?
They might be.
I mean, like, for real in terms of, like, a home crowd.
Yeah.
Arizona State.
All right, mortals.
Hank?
I'm going Penn State, Oregon, over 51 and a half.
Okay.
Zupi?
Notre Dame, minus the 4 and a half.
Okay.
Ebo?
Virginia, plus 7.
Okay.
Arizona State, minus 3.
All right.
I'm going to take Notre Dame and Texas A&M over 64 and a half.
Or, sorry, Notre Dame, Arkansas.
My bad.
Over 64 and a half.
I think that game's going to have a ton of points.
I don't know what.
Defense is going to get a stop.
Dave, you're mortal.
Yeah, I'm looking for it.
I have it written down, and now I want to give some stats behind it,
and now I can't fucking find it.
Is everyone else gone?
Yep.
This game, where the fuck is this game?
Is Utah State Vandy this week?
Yes.
Yeah.
I love Utah State plus the 23 and a half.
I don't know why I can't find it.
But Utah State has one loss, and it's to A&M.
And it was by 20 points.
Everyone's slurping Vandy's dick.
Utah State's not that bad of a football team.
That's way too many points.
And I'd have more stats if I could find.
I got more for you.
This is Vandy's playing Alabama next week.
Love it even more.
That's a big look-ahead spot.
I love Utah State here.
Yeah.
I don't know why I can't find this game on.
What the fuck?
Let me go to the conferences.
Utah State's plus 23.
22 and a half.
Yeah.
So that's my mortal.
What the fuck?
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
I was looking at the wrong spot.
Yeah.
Utah State is three and one.
They're one loss.
And by the way, they beat Air Force by 20,
who's not like their real program.
A&M, they lose by 20 in week one at A&M.
This game is good.
We're not crowning Vandy a national champion quite yet,
I don't think.
20, 22 points is a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, they killed Air Force.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good show, boys.
Good show.
I would give my best money line is Alabama.
I think they beat Georgia.
Are we doing money line, Rico?
Getting right back.
Yeah, you got one, Dan?
Yeah, Kentucky.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
Add Kentucky to my card, too.
I think they're plus five and a half.
They're playing South Carolina.
Yeah.
The quarterback's playing, right?
He is, but he hasn't been playing well.
No, no.
I don't hate it.
Kentucky played somebody pretty tough.
They didn't cover.
Who was that?
They played.
No, they did cover against Ole Miss.
Ole Miss.
Yeah.
Remember that was Lane apologized for that?
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
14 in that game the whole time.
14-77.
14-1.
Wait, what is yours?
Oregon.
Oh, okay.
14-77.
So it's all night games.
That's the only problem because we had a nice spaced out last week.
Yeah.
Now I got to bet it.
Yeah, don't put Oregon in.
Do you like anything earlier?
I like Oregon.
I like Oregon.
All right, you want me to throw something earlier instead of Quintana?
Well, no, he doesn't want Oregon because he's rooting for Penn State.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's fine, though.
Yeah.
Okay, good pick'em, boys.
Good show, guys.
Great time.
All right, see you guys next week.
