Happy holidays. Oh, wow. How was the holiday party, Rico? I thought it was great. I saw a video of you just mean-mugging Mike Meek-Phil. Like, Meek-Phil was. He was, like, enjoying doing festivities, and you're just, like, look like you pooped your pants in the background. Is that true? Have you seen the video? I saw the video. That was a little bit of a read. That was a little bit of a reach. Did you see Bosco in the background? He was not happy. He, like, just beside himself. I wouldn't say beside himself. I think I made a little bit of an eye roll. You had a lot of eye rolls, a lot of disgust in your face. So, it was a good party? Great party. Other than you being. You were being disgusted by Meek-Phil? Yeah, it was a great party. It was good to say hello to everybody. It's been a great year. What was the tweet about you versus the data team? Yeah, that's just jack-fucking. So, Gaz is sitting there with Greer. I'm obviously saying hello to Greer, and Greer's like, "You know, I don't. " Like, "You know it's not me." I'm like, "Greer, I know, man. Like, it's all good." And then he's like, "It's the guys I work with and this and that," and, like, they came over, and we were kind of just busting chops. That's also a lie. It's Greer. What do you mean? Yeah, probably, but I don't know him well enough that he could be. It's like Scooby-Doo. Is that a stress ball you got today? It was on the desk. I thought it would be. I thought, "We'll see how it goes." What are you nervous about? Nothing. Just keep the hand motions at a limit. So, yeah. So, Greer's like, "Oh, these are the guys." Gaz is like, "These are the guys." And just, like, to break the ice, I'm like, "Greer says you guys run crooked numbers." They start laughing. We start laughing. It's like, "Whatever." And I'm like, "Who do you guys like, Alabama or Oklahoma?" And they're like, "I have no idea what you think." "All right. Happy holidays." Like, good to go. It was very low-key. But, you know, that's what Jackie's going to do on a Thursday in between, you know, expensive bottles of wine picked up by Gruden. I'm sure that was very nice of him. But, you know, that's par for the course. Like, you can't get too worked up about it. We all know the people that were there know what happened. The internet tells a different story. So, that's life. Yeah, that is life. Yeah, I mean, every time I hear it, it just reminds me of. It reminds me, obviously, of that. Like, can you guys see there? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's the day that our relationship with Penn died. When Boss Stowe had Gruden in a headlock for about an hour and a half. Yeah. Excuse me, Snowden. Had Snowden in a headlock for an hour and a half, and two days later, we were done. Listen, you are a victim of your old sins. You can only get better. Like, that was a clear turn over. You were really upset about the. You were really. Similar, you were really upset about the accusations that you cornered him, which you cornered him. Yeah. Again, not an excuse. Self-inflicted. Pretty drugged up during those times. So, I've gotten way better with that. And, you know, taking the advice, like, you got to laugh it off. You know, like, make fun of yourself. Have fun with it. So, let it water off a duck's back, I think they say. It sounds to me like Gaz called you over to talk to the data team and then texted Jackie Tables. And I got something that I've been sitting on, and especially with this shirt that Hank's wearing. What is going on with Hank's hair? Oh, lost a bet. At least that's better. Yeah, he lost a bet. You were just confused. You just thought it was, like. You thought he just wears. I thought he was, like, 17 and, like, hanging out on South Beach or something. I didn't know what he was doing. Yeah, he lost a bet. So, I look young. Yeah, you do look young. Looks like Mike Piazza. All right, well, we haven't had a show in a couple weeks. We do some clean-up stuff. Dave, your college is. Wait, you don't have a coach, man. in institutional chaos? They got to. Yeah, there's so much going on there, and I'm, like, on the outside. I'm not. I'm not. I get a couple leaks here and there. I talk to more coaches than I do. There's no communication or nothing from Michigan. Not that I deserve it or anything, but there's a lot of chaos there. And the more you delve into the way the school is set up, which I kind of knew and I kind of didn't know. You got these regents who I think they're voted on, and these guys, like, are. run the school, basically. There's, like, five regents, and from what I've gathered, there's infighting, there's jockeying for power. Some of them are Ward Manuel fans, some aren't. So, everyone wants to hold on to, like, a power struggle. We. I tweeted it, and I maintain it. They should just, for the football, be like, "Larry Ellison's the head of the football thing. He picks the AD. Everything goes through him. They get the money. Single chain of command. They get the money." They should just, for the football, be like, "Larry Ellison's the head of the football thing. He picks the AD. They get the money. Single chain of command, they get the money. Single chain of command, they get the money." They should just, for the football, be like, "Larry Ellison's the head of the football thing. He picks the AD. He picks the AD. Everything goes through him." But right now, there's too much infighting. I don't. I don't know how they. anybody would sign a coach at Michigan right now. I don't even know who. like, we're under investigation. Is the AD gonna be there? I don't understand what they're doing. Maybe they have a plan. Maybe they're waiting for Kalen DeBoer till the Alabama thing's done. You hear rumors of that. Fine. At this point, I take anybody good. Because every day that goes by, I don't see how these kids are gonna stay there. We have major problems. And. and. I just. I don't know how you start when you don't even know who's running the show. Yeah. And I have no idea who's running the show. Like, who can be like, hire this guy? Who has that final say? You! You! It should be Larry Ellison, then de facto, Dave, go get it. I'm telling you, I could. if someone said you have the resources, I could get Kenny Dillingham in 24 hours. In 24 hours, he'd be the coach of Michigan. If you said, Dave, go get your guy, you have the financial backing, we'd have Kenny Dillingham. If you want to go the way of, which I've heard some people say they could clean it up, get away from Harbaugh totally, we need a man of honor, courage, whatever, get Munkin. He'll go do it. Like, there's people out there, but you need. we. and maybe they're ahead of the game. Maybe they're. people from Michigan are sitting here listening to this and laughing at me, being like, Dave doesn't know what's going on. We have it under control. We're waiting for this to happen. I hope I'm wrong. To me, it seems every single day that goes by, unless it's Kalen DeBoer, in which case, Kalen's, like, already locked up, but he's like, I'm finishing with Alabama, and I don't want this thing to leak till after. Unless it's him, I don't know what they're doing. Every single day that goes by seems like a major, major problem. So, it's chaos. Has Dillingham made a comment on it, or has anybody said, like. If Michigan came with a great offer, and he was convinced we're not chaos. he'd be interested how can you not i know he loves arizona state but how can you not be interested in michigan now we're we're again well it's a shit show that's how you cannot yeah correct i said taylor won and i talked taylor thinks we have i have no idea at one point i thought i was getting on a plane to fly to ann arbor like someone reached out they're like will you sit down with like the ad and the regents like they'll listen to you i'm like yeah fine and and that was total garbage so i don't know what i don't know what they're doing i don't know what they're doing but i think it's a lot of people probably there who are holding on for relevance power i will say on the other side i don't think michigan knew from what i knew about everything everyone's like they waited till the signing date i do not believe that's the case can i think can i ask a question i may i can i hear the question and then decide no i got i'm just asking questions questions should be allowed to be asked okay if michigan had beaten ohio state would sharon moore be coaching them in the playoff right now yeah probably so but this is a theory i don't know anything the the way this goes is he broke up with her and when that happened she then went like they were in lockstep nothing's happening nothing's happening everything's happening everyone hears the rumors i love these guys like fucking i i gave the the the big ev example like big ev tweeted like if the things i'm hearing are true michigan has big who's telling you that like the hoagie sandwich big ev like everyone heard the same fucking rumors everyone's acting like they're josh pate some great source the it was the worst kept secret like you heard the rumors but if the two grown adults consenting adults are being like there's nothing going on here there's not a whole fucking ton you can do until she comes forward with these allegations and everything in proof now to answer your question dan they say from what i've gathered he broke up with her she didn't like it she came forward i've heard people be like there's regents there's people behind who like enticed her somehow coerced her whatever you want to say to come forward and get this do i think maybe there's something to that and if they win those people don't this does this just pushes off maybe now the holding the butter knife to himself threatening to kill himself well that that's just you know if you listen if you're gonna do it big do it big like i well you were and i were texting like when i'm in the middle of this controversy everyone's talking about michigan everyone's talking about michigan it was that big to lose it was a spectacular step up to fuck up it was spectacular crash out in 24 hours it was quite something and i mean i thought it was fake at first but it was not it was a spectacular crash out in 24 hours it was quite something and i mean i when they're like he just got arrested and you're hearing all the things before they're like reported it's like he was holding a knife to her it's like what like what are we talking about they got this girl's name on a pizza at the brown jug saw that i thought that was fake so i texted the guy i know the guy go is this true and he's like yeah i'm like why the fuck is her name on your menu and he's like uh we just put the the everyone on the michigan athletic staff rotates it's really bad timing i'm like that sounds so unbelievable yeah and she's a nobody then he's like well i raided their pizza 1.2 he's like if you didn't do it 1.2 it would have been your name on it um nice kid but i'm like i it's like i don't even know if i believe what you're telling me i heard credibly that ward manual was fired at one point in in uh john beeline was a replacement temporary ad like i heard that credibly i thought changed i then it's like ward saved his job because regents voted for him by the way i think that is the move if you don't know what you're doing get rid of ward and i it's nothing against him but he's under an investigation get john beeline get the woman who coached their softball team who by all accounts is like revered across the sport and won national championship get somebody who everyone agrees is like morally on in the right spot but i don't know how they're doing nothing and the only thing i can imagine is there's people who feel like if you get word of ward you lose your in to influence so it it's a bad scene and every day that goes by i feel like hurts the program more and more yeah it does feel that way but you're michigan you'll figure it out like yeah you will figure it out it's just it to me it's like all right how many years of damage are you doing like you the portal opens what january 1st and i would say am i right about that i think it does i think it does so it's like what are you not gonna have a coat you're not gonna have anything and and anybody can go anywhere yeah so that's the shit by the way about the signing date that i don't really this isn't old school like these kids can all leave in a week and a half yeah at boar's head we've been going back to school for over 115 years and this year every school lunch is reason to bring the ballroom the deli is open boar's head committed to craft since 1905 uh d last question because i think i know the answer to this but i want to ask anyway all of this that has happened you would you you'd be like yeah that's a great deal because we won a national title i want to trade anything i if you told me sharon stallions slit his wrist with a butter knife and bled out but we won a national championship two years i think i gotta take that title i yeah i mean the ending was obviously tragic yeah yeah there's different things here i still don't consider connor stallion like connor stallions to me did not cheat like people can say what they want he was in the crowd he's a smart guy he's a smart guy he's a smart guy and he did things that are gamesmanship i have absolutely no problem with any of it this this is like a totally and again the people blame ward emmanuel like how are you supposed to know the guy you hire is going to have an affair and show up how you joan howard's the punch like the hockey coach thing i think is pretty typical for hockey and people being pussies but like some of these things are not ward's fault to me but but i don't know that you can come back from this haven't like seven dudes been arrested uh we've had yeah i mean but there's fucking shit on every single like the michigan state guy i forget his name it's like dude you guys forfeited games you have larry nasser you have all like there's always shit everywhere if you dig deep enough in this in some of the arrests i mean a dui like all right he got dui that's terrible but like a lot of people getting duis breaking into the the offensive coordinator matt weiss breaking into the offensive coordinator matt weiss breaking into the offensive coordinator breaking into like that one's bad i don't i don't stand for that no and let's clear up sharon more sharon is not a michigan man like there's a lot of people trying to be like oh i think it was jim rome like you gotta stop hiring within michigan well he we didn't hire him within michigan he went to oklahoma he coached at louisville and harbaugh harbaugh is a michigan man he went there he did but like he's not a michigan man so don't say we should the michigan man ideal has never been more alive in my mind listen to me talk i don't like i don't like the michigan men who are abandoning what being a michigan man is like jake butt who's nice no we are still michigan men and the people like it i gave the perfect analogy it's for everybody and dan you're one of them it's for the people who can't get into the club they want to get into and they just hate that club and they drive by it they throw tomatoes and like i hate that club but if you ever got that invite you'd be the first one into that club so the michigan man club is under attack by all the people who've always been like what's so good about that michigan fan club and yes we're having down moment but we're still deciding the fate of the world and still have presidents and everyone's still saying it's the top five job so you're not going to get me to backpedal on michigan man do we want to attack our our mistresses with butter knives no that's that's not a michigan thing that's more of an oklahoma barry switzer thing if we're being honest and to your point like the of the if the michigan man thing is still strong you if doing beeline and the softball coach you could re-fortify that be like hey yeah so i honestly if you're i i don't know where they're at with the search like at one point it seemed like the dillingham at one point it seemed like it's deborah is it deborah i'd be happy if you don't have any of these guys on the hook go get jeff munkin that will end the michigan man this guy is the army coach he's a great motivator he's like stern morals and i think he's a great coach you have to bring an off offensive coordinator obviously but like i just don't know how i assume something has to be going on we can't just be sitting there being like well we got to figure out what's going to happen with this investigation like i saw i think the president of the school give a speech the other day total dork like i don't trust that guy as far as i can pull this is just a lot going on at michigan right now i i i do love these moments because you like obviously the the stalking and um chiron going into the girl's house aside because that part's like that's real like you know that's a serious thing and he's been arrested all that stuff but everything else you're just a pig in shit playing it up on online like the people just when you I think it was something like you were saying Sharon Moore is not a Michigan man he he never went to Michigan unlike Jeffrey Dahmer who ate people and went to Ohio State and like he did go to Ohio State and he did eat people yeah I actually I forgot I wore that shirt before Jeffrey Dahmer went to Ohio State I had that made I also I keep I'm I've said I had like 10 different lists going like the uh you were on it for something Dan I forget there was a couple questions yeah it just like if you're if you're saying Michigan did something you're on a list if you're doing this I'm keeping a list I said I'm gonna file a class action lawsuit people were tweeting me being like Dave's gonna sue you oh man that's a fucking call imagine that fucking call oh man okay so all right so that's Michigan uh Bosco how we're have we have we done the contract uh no are we it's almost it's 13 days left in the year yeah he's a pretty busy guy so you know um I assumed it would somehow get brought up today but I thought probably pick up the phone after the phone call or after this pick them if that makes sense is it is it true that you texted him after the Netflix announcement and said hey it's for everyone that is not true okay it's good that you that's what Jackie tables told me that's what Jackie tables told me past sins but no it's stick to the plan it's Roe Premiano you get what you get you don't get upset what was that uh my friend's mother you get what you get you don't get upset rope for me okay yeah yeah uh and shout out Roe um and you know it's yeah but it's it's obviously a great thing for us it's uh in a line of great things that have happened in the past couple of years so yeah onward and upward obviously well said Dave yeah I gotta I mean we're we're getting ready to um close out the year my biggest problem before I can get to that is I gotta figure out how to look at spreadsheets if we're being honest yeah they yeah can I say the spreadsheet is it spread spreadsheet just to me or spreadsheet in general no no Dave I think I like I got the same formatted spreadsheet for Chicago office and it was I have to like I feel like it's 80 year old man drawing a line across literally impossible it is literally impossible to look at our spreadsheets um and I said that I I wrote back I go I gotta get this spreadsheet because it's a master spreadsheet of everything with a zillion columns and when you print it it's for ants and like if you're looking on like the screen it's the point I I don't know what to do so I I replied to like our CFR I'm like I need to be able to print this and be able to read it to look at it he it was Kim too our HR they actually Aaron our CFO got nervous because he replied did you see Dave's email with a crying emoji like I don't know yeah and I knew he up I didn't really care I think it's like because I'm an old man like I can't I don't want to look on the computer I need it in front of me on paper I've always been a paper guy um and he actually apologized this morning first he lied he's like oh I I I typed it like by accident my pocket driving I didn't care it's a nothing thing but he was rattled this morning but yeah so before I can get to you Bosco like this is this is like the enlarged spreadsheet yeah and it's just like so we gotta get to Bosco we gotta get to Bosco that's how people end up like robbing the company for hundreds of millions I can't read the spreadsheet so someone could hack into that spreadsheet game over game over bring the whole house down what are you saying well the the Netflix deal when you were negotiating it Dave obviously it's it's sports shows that are you know the the three shows that are on there was was there any conversations about like a you know college football gambling show hypothetically I think personal hurts us Hank well I think more than that Dan being on PMT like I don't know that they want to double dip a Dan like if you look at the three shows they're all totally unique people but no there's zero talk of uh this show making it right well you don't have to scowl I'm just telling you no I like yeah Hank's trying to like he's having fun I'm curious I I knew that like that I think there's still people out there who love like the the the the the the the the the of like the always delulu and this and that like not I kind of know what's going on so you are delulu okay all right that was Jackie you're inside you're entitled to your opinion how so Jack you're entitled to you I mean just referencing back to last episode a certain t-shirt was worn I think Bosco thought he was going to get a piece of that pie when it was completely based around a certain guy in Tampa Florida that's pretty delicious to me that is that's that's a fair point have we made any further ground on that deal Bosco uh Jack to be honest that's none of your business I like it I like it Bosco I don't think it's really any of yours either okay then it's then it's not you and I are two guys who have nothing to do with that deal have you guys seen the video it's not then it's not but when Meek Phil comes in I don't know it's a couple weeks ago Knox and Bosco freaks out yeah and he looks like he's dressed like a teenage girl he's wearing Timberlands but it looks like Uggs it was his new first day in Timberlands he couldn't he couldn't get the corner correct baggy sweats yeah the corner up his new his new uh Timberlands it's a turn yeah yeah all right so are we gonna I mean the contract will be done the Dave sounds like Dave's got the spreadsheet now ready to go spreadsheet's insane there's gotta be better ways to look at the spreadsheet hopefully someone like huge is either above or below your Rico that'd be good on the spreadsheet yeah because then like Dave misreads the line oh it's like holy nah we've already had a massive we've already had accounting errors in that we're not going back down that's true we did but yeah do you want to come clean on that one in what sense wait what one so the one where this is like Bosco oh yeah yeah yeah we over paid Bosco too much money he knew it never said thank you and then acted like I knew he was getting paid too much don't do drugs kids yeah so you but did you know you were overpaid I did I did I thought that the number we agreed on you did a thing where it's like at the at the end when the when the actual thing gets sent it's something different I did think that but again I was up what you thought you thought we agreed on price and I just for the hell of it paid you more yeah the show was ripping but uh yeah to it to an extent yeah what do you mean to an extent yeah so in so many words yeah I don't I yeah yes yes yes yeah you thought we agreed on a price after big negotiation I paid you more without telling you right you believe that still a little bit no no back then yes yeah right yeah out of the kindness of your heart that's a good that is a good spin zone you can use back then just back then right back then could be last week back then could be yesterday Bosco will you be attending the all company meeting on Monday I will be filming a video that is sold but we have crafted out the period to get on the call yes I know a lot of people are you know shout out Jackie and Rose Sparks they get that big hard erection for the fact that I'd be out of the office but the video sold that's what you're doing so ready to go uh and in fairness we were supposed to film today and moved it off of today based on the schedule so you got to go to Monday and that's how we roll so but okay you got a timeline in terms of meeting Dave or no you guys are talking right now with us yeah I mean saying I mean the spreadsheet yeah you have to see we could turn the cameras off and just do it right now I feel like those cameras would not be turned off you're probably right well I'll tell you I'll tell you how the conversation will go because this is how it goes sure what are you thinking that's what you're gonna say yeah yeah okay what are you thinking what are you thinking percentage no don't say numbers just say like all right what are you thinking 30 percent percentage just say a percentage what are you thinking all right yeah I'll I'll calculate that we'll have the conversation on the phone well I mean you got to be thinking a percentage right what's your percentage 30. start high start high no that's how you get no no but this is look right now it's not a negotiation so you can this is trial balloons how do you think you want what are you thinking that's that's how it's gonna go what do you think that's great um yeah I mean you've been pretty fair so there we go oh I mean no more than fair yes yeah you've eaten my insides literally that was a literal sentence literal you bit his belly you attacked my stomach I did what percentage is fair Dave it's for him to say where are we gonna start you want to start at 30 Hank could we get any part of the monologue Just like a little bit for the people, you know, the people on the sheet, on the sheet, Alfred Martin and gay Pat. Those are who separate Rico. Who? Sam, Sam Martin. Real name's Alfred. Okay. So Bosco, little, the mom, you know, Sam's on my team. You know that, you know, the, the people pick them. This, this makes their dick hard. This is what they go. This is what they come in for. This is what they're tuning in for. I actually, I got, I got a, a guy I know who's a big pick them a fan who his name might rhyme with, uh, backs Calente said that he, he got a text last night that there might be negotiations. And he said, I, he said he got hard the minute he read that text. Yeah. So the people come for. Yeah. So are we going to give it to the people or we don't have to, but I Rico, you know, I know that, you know, you've been thinking about, you know, the numbers and Jackie tables blindsiding with those a few, few weeks ago and how you're going to basically sell that as a good thing somehow. And that's part of your monologue. Give us that. How can you prove that you've had a good year, even though the numbers might read that they're down a little bit? Uh, I'd say intangibles. Yeah. Diving for loose balls, hot assists, clapping on the bench, you know, intangibles. I would say, Hey, that's the pitch. We'll see. I like that pitch. You need guys who are doing that. Do NBA players get paid more for clapping on the bench? I don't know. He's, he's about to like strangle that stress ball. Yeah. There's like fucking come coming out of it. Um, I don't know. Jack was a full slate of sports last night. Like you could have got some clips instead of you at the same party or whatever. I just think if we're, if we're hanging our hat on the numbers being so great this year, like a contract negotiation right now would add to the numbers and you could hang your hat. That's a fact. The price could go up with the views on this show. That is a fact. Do you think if you polled like family feud, a hundred listeners of, uh, of, uh, pick them. Does Rico make more than that? Like, do you think people would guess how much does Bosco make? Do you think people, the majority would be under or over what they think under you think that they would, they, he makes more than what people think. Correct. But I think that's the whole company. I agree. That's not a Bosco. That's not a Bosco specific one. It's a great spot to be. There's some, there's some salaries that would make people throw up, piss, shit themselves, cry, blood, everything. Just looking at the number and that's not, I'm not talking about Bosco. No. Guess somebody else. Yaz just sent me this. What? It's not about you. It's a Mincy, uh, this, he sent it to our sales guy, Nick. What's up, Nick? I know game time is ending, but see if there's any credit still laying around for Tulane Ole Miss playoff game. We'll do numbers, but no big deal. Obviously. I guess you guys are streaming in Chicago. He's not going to be there. He's going to the game. He's not going to stream. And, uh, you told him to go. I was like, Oh yeah, I got to watch it. That's a hundred percent ownership of that. It was, I was sitting in my office on a Friday afternoon and he walked by and he was like, what's the plan with the streams? Like, I'll be here for everything. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then on Monday morning I walked into the office and I was like, did I say yes to him being on every stream? And I went right to him and I said, almost too late. You got to be there. You got to fucking be there. Like that. That's a mince. He's off the hook. Yeah. He's off the hook. He's off the hook on that one for sure. Yeah. I mean, you need him. You need him there. That's it. Well, you need him there. Yeah. I need him there more than anything, but that's his team versus his, you know, Summerall's his guy at Tulane. Like you need, it's the mincey bowl. He needs to be there. How can you do the mincey bowl without mincey? All right. So, all right. No, no negotiations. That's fine. I, I, I, as someone who's going for rider of the year, I respect the decision. I hope it goes well when you guys do talk. Just so you know, Bosco, I'm not in like a hurry to talk to you. So if you're expecting like, Hey, when are we sitting down? That's not happening on my end. No, you're too big. Yeah, I know. I got it. But well, all right. Yeah. Not in a hurry, but there is. Yeah. Are you looking to get it done by the end of the year? What do you mean done? Like, if you never come to me, your checks will keep coming. Right. I'm like, Oh, you're not going anywhere. I knew that. There's no, yeah. There's no fucking woe is me shit. I got it. But yeah, the current deal expires the 31st. That's all. It's like, it's just a matter of, I mean, we do this every year. Like that's all. Yeah. We do it on pick them generally. All right. It just might stay the current deal. Rico. That's, that's, that's the concern. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Correct. Yeah. Whereas you could do it right now and get it done, but that's, you don't have to. Like, I'm not, it's not just you. I'm not like people on year to year deals. Oh, it's different with everybody. Some people are like, Hey, can I sit down and talk to you? They'll make no sense. We'll go on our way. They get a deal. Other people like, Hey, my deal's up. I want to stay here. Good. You're good to go. If you don't say anything, checks keep coming. Same exact thing. You're just at will. Okay. Do you not get that? No, I do. Yeah. I get it. You have a chance to maybe get more right now. Like all I'm saying is we can get a multi-year deal, Dave. It's better to be, it's better to be one-to-one really. Okay. He's doing me a favor. All right. It took me a little while to realize that, but I like that. Yeah. You get to negotiate every year. A hundred percent. That's actually huge. But then he's done everything within his power to get fired and he's still here. So he's not going anywhere. And if a Bosco industries blows up, I know I'm going to have a henchman in my office being like, I want 98% of the profits of this show. Yeah, that's, that's not, that's not accurate for 98%. Settle at 76, but like friends and family. I mean, yeah. All right. Yeah. I mean, you want it, you want it. All right. Oh, you have it. Oh, you had it ready to go the whole time. You had it ready to go the whole time. I want that on the record for everyone. It's like, Oh, Hey, Jackie, trying to push him to do this. He's the guy who's like, I never thought I'd win this award, but Oh, here's a speech. I love it. Bosco. You're the best. You got to be prepared. Okay. All right. Don, Don Coleon. I come to you on the day of your daughter's wedding. All right. Listen, I mean, you know, it's, I know everybody thinks like, again, like the delusional, not everybody can get a raise. You guys are running a business that I totally understand in terms of the big time deals that cash a lot of checks around here. Nobody puts in more hours on those deals that then get those done. A while back. You did. They say, Hey, if you want more money, go fucking earn it. I think I've done everything I can to start to put myself in a position with solid content and sell stuff to get to that threshold. Obviously there's stuff that's sold this year. It hasn't it's or into 2026, but that money's not on the books for 2025. So I get all that been pretty brand friendly with sponsors, trying to get things done with that move, move it as it goes. You look at house call in terms of the gambling channel. A lot of those videos are pretty high viewed. Uh, it checks the box in terms of DraftKings of, Hey, we want to do touchdown scores, check that initiative, provide good content. Pickham's obviously had a record year Bosco industries. I, I do believe we're building with that. Yeah. I mean, it's a record year, unless I quit the company. Like we're never going to replicate that. That's a, that's, that's Barry bonds. He was on juice. We were all on juice, fair. Uh, we're all on juice. We're all on juice. Um, you also, I don't think people thank enough. You've set up some things with us where you provide a lot of opportunities for us to earn money. As well in terms of additionally to your paycheck, which is extremely fair. You've always been pretty fair. I apologize for those years where I didn't always handle it the best, but again, I like, I do want to win. I didn't go about it the best way. I'm always going to push myself every year. I'm never just going to be like, Oh, I'm okay with, and being content with flat. I am going to push myself. I want to go out there and earn a fucking a million dollars. So in terms of sticking to the plan, I think I've done that. Nobody's more fair than you. If you're going to ask me for a number, I don't have a number. I have a goal. I want to earn a million dollars in 2026. That's where I'm at. So day by day, stick with the plan. Uh, I think the content's been great and you keep it going. So in terms of numbers, like, Oh, I need this. I need that. You send me a number. I'd make a face. It is what it is. You trust the scoreboard and it takes care of itself. I have pretty good confidence that I think you're going to take care of itself. So that's where we're at. Okay. you want to earn a million dollars next year so that's what you that like uh when you mean like uh your paycheck to be a million dollars without a doubt yeah i mean and i say that and people are gonna be like you you don't have a chance to bring in a million dollars you get that we get that bikini boys we get that bull that's what i that's what i'm no dude that's what i'm curious he wants to be responsible it's not making you don't want your paycheck to be a million dollars you want to bring in a million dollars for the company you yes and you need and that that million dollars is probably not going to hit next year you need to build as you keep going you've said all the time sell stuff what does this person bring in you watch your name you watch where you're at what does this person bring but again bring things in and you mean you mean there's a million dollar if rico bosco's not here you're getting your your made a face before i said you're saying if we go bosco's not here our our net revenue would why are you why are you making a face or are you trying to spin it negatively no he's asking for clarification yes if rico bosco's not here our net revenue would be minus a million dollars the company that's what you're saying or it's time out wait yeah time okay time out time out are you saying you want your w2 to be like a million dollars that's what i'm asking yeah in the sense that wait you want your w2 to be a million dollars we're still in a timeout just so we know yes we're still in a timeout yes and i will yes i i again i think coach coach speak okay like we're gonna go out there and fucking pummel him we're not really gonna pummel him dave like it's been a while since you've been in a locker room speaking in hyperbole so to speak like yes you keep building no i don't get it i'm lost i'm lost we're like when you're when you're when you're starting pitcher you want to go out and throw a perfect game every game you want to throw a perfect game every game but if you go out and throw you know seven shutout innings like you're happy with that but but just just this one point right the million is it is it bring in a million or make a million for yourself that's what i'm asking i'd like to bring in a million dollars okay that's different i would like to bring in a million so so it's what i said if you're if if you i'm not saying you're leaving don't do this if you're gone we would net revenue be minus 1 million because you brought in specifically clients are like we need bosco that is a thousand percent the goal and do i think i'm going to get there by the end of 2026 probably not let's be fucking realistic but you got to start somewhere you build that fucking build and you fucking build and you fucking build a million dollar earnings might be way down the road i love that but but you know i'll tell you what dan and i is then we're asked wait you want your w2 to be a million and you're answering yes to that oh that was confusing that was i thought i was in defense mode no i would like to bring in a million dollars yes that's a great start there and then hey guess what when you bring in a million you're way closer to earning a million down the road so that's correct that is that's correct and that's a great thing where you said you want to bring in for the company a million so it got a little hairy there because you weren't understanding what we're asking we thought you were asking for a million yes which i may have passed out not yeah i know that's i know okay boys are in the zoom they're already fucking tooling it with ai and quigs you may have some bad clips coming out that's that's fair but no no no you can't clip what a time that when we're in a time out listen again you get right you get a little worked up you're a little nervous i lost my ball but yeah i i i think that's pretty level-headed i like that that's been the plan the entire fucking way and you look at how it all lays out like taking off a wake-up bar so after a week just keep fucking rolling man it's very hard to do that it's very hard to do that to get to what you said but if you get there i would say you're almost virtually set for life in terms of not set for life but you're gonna make a lot of money at this company if those are what we need we need the people that like if they leave the advertiser like i'm going with them like that yeah you got to get to that you got to get to that yeah it's a good speech great speech i don't know that it earned you a nickel next year but it was a great speech all right i love the attitude the attitude's great what is is there is there like a a roadmap dave or like a path now that you've heard that of how he can how he can work towards that like he's already he do you he gets credit for one of those does he get credit for one he gets credit for one of the hair sponsor right or is that separate yeah a little bit how many more of those do you think he needs he needs to stack them up now is the hair they're leaving it's a really hard thing to do i don't know the one close right yeah i was a i don't know i mean i i've said this a million fucking times and i like it's like a broken record but like do i consume caller daddy no is like pmt what i've been like oh you got to do this no it what are you shaking your head i'm saying i don't know i'm almost i'm shaking my head knowing that you don't have to have the fucking second of the shows but if a check comes in from somebody no i'm saying it's hard for me to ever give advice how do you create more money i don't know like caleb caleb presley was here for seven years without one thing to hang his hat on or however long he was here and then sunday conversation comes out and it's a monster so like content i've said this a million times it's like if you're a baseball manager and you have a pitcher who throw i'm not saying i'm not this is not about rico but if you throw 87 you can't just be like hey it would really help if you threw 99 on the black like it is a talent business it's hard to tell people and everyone's different so i don't have the answer what makes the papa john's ultimate pepperoni pizza ultimate the proof is in the pepperoni and loads of it with no artificial colors corn syrup or msg the ultimate pepperoni pizza now only 12.99 for a limited time okay so um what do you that didn't earn him an extra nickel i gotta think about it um you know i know you said the inflation stats which i hear now a bunch uh i think he's had a good year i think you've had a good year rico there we go i yeah i thank you but like yeah i know i have i've been dialed the fuck in so that's the difference yes france you could ask ron you could ask which by the way on ton don like every day hey you got an idea let me bounce this off are we just gonna both keep talking what the thing is you should be because we're in a dream job for basically everyone in the world so it's just we're coming so far from you being one of the worst employees the company's ever had to doing what you do i'd expect from anybody who works here agreed yeah now we're here i dialed speech i think the last two were pretty good too it's not like it's been it hasn't been a coming out of horror show of like bad bad and like now all of a sudden he gets it it's when you guys said you got to turn it around i do think i've well we said that a hundred times yeah but the real one like like the when i was standing on the plank and it was like well yeah yeah you you got the army vet to thank you for that every day because he he had it and i i people don't believe this i talked to him i said it's up to you i will i like him but i would never let him back if that happened and i won't i i will respect this decision there's no way he's working here if you have even an inch of a problem with him he's like nope give him another chance every day okay so then dave was going to just send you what what the bump is because you heard the speech i heard the speech okay good yeah that's great did you have did you have the other thing the last note on there did you have two minutes after we finished this in terms of ideas for 2026 no i can do it later but i'm driving to miami for the jake paul joshua fight right after this all right no sweat but i i'm happy to do it next week great yeah that's that's all it is it's one of those things where like you need it's a lot of it you need dave's approval like i got i got this i got that like so i don't think you do need my approval for a lot of it but we'll we'll see what it is yeah yeah yeah it yeah i got yeah yeah like unless you're having some big budget project what do you need my approval for okay right it won't be big budget definitely not what do you need my approval for you're one of the best content guys in the business maybe i sit like again it's only a two-minute conversation but i say something you might say well i kind of like that but fine-tune this it's advice two guys two guys standing around the sauce pot like yeah little garlic little onion yeah what what if you could have two of the best content guys in the business help you right now i'd help you i'll always have a conversation i'd always help you yeah i just you do have us right now come on because after this i also and it's promo if it's a good idea and they like it then it's like the people will listen to it and then right though it's it's good it's good good promo i guess it's actually a good point ike because if it's also bad they just shut it down and then you just think of the next two and then in a month yeah so um All right, yeah, I got two off the top of my head. Let's go. Both video series. Yep. All right. You went to that high school game in Ohio that they moved to Cincinnati. Correct. It seemed like the two fan bases were very heated, storied different shit like that. Eddie put something up of a high school game in Chicago. He said they truthfully hate each other. Everybody has done documentaries on the Celtics-Lakers. Everybody's dove into Ohio State-Michigan. Red Sox-Yankees. Like, we've all done that. Sports is a massive, massive field out there in terms of finding these fucking stories in Tennessee. Well, now, you build towards Tennessee, but locally, Bosco-Bergen football, that's only a car ride. You start there. Their football teams have been broadcast on ESPN. Those games are crazy. My college roommate played at Bosco. Yep. And building and finding somebody down the road where, in Tennessee, two high schools, one guy lit another guy's fucking fence on fire because they hate each other. The mailman won't deliver over there. A barstool spin on a documentary. That's true. A mailman won't deliver. I'm just saying. I'm throwing it out there. I'd love to find the guy. Imagine that interview. That'd be fucking electric. Yep. Like, I'd love to go into that. We all love it. Like, every story, Dan. I mean, what's the clip that's floating around right now? The Georgia kid won't sing fucking Rocky Top at a Christmas show. Like, this is why we love it. I fucking hate these guys. I'd love to build towards those things where you're going to South Dakota and you're going here. Oh, weird. Striper type of traditions with stuff like that. But a documentary barstool spin type of style on, like, true, true rivalries. Hey, they've been playing for 100 years. There's a weird trophy. Something like that. Would love to get that going. Now, it's a little different. It's down the line because I think football and basketball obviously move the needle the most. So that could be the end of 2026. But I'll tell you what. I'll knock on doors and find two softball teams in a rec league that fucking hate each other. And the cops got to get called to that. Like, you just start and you figure it out. And you fucking knock on doors. Knock on doors. So, like, that's the first idea in terms of that. Knee jerk. Yep. I have a knee jerk as well. If I saw something like this, I would probably watch it and find it very interesting. I do not think you slash we are capable. Or I should say the return on investment would be nearly worth it. We've kind of gone down the dark side before. We did some good ones. They're not the easiest things to sell. They're pretty expensive. Now, if you can get this in a Internet format where you're doing it quickly and it comes across and you don't need a lot of resources, maybe I think it's really hard. I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't. I think full blown doc is not necessary. Yeah. So how long is this? You'd like a doc talk. Yeah. So that tick tock. Doc, that's that was my my thing is like the actual video. What you're talking about. It sounds interesting. I like the idea. The execution is very difficult. Like putting together a documentary is not an easy thing to do. You have to get hours and hours of footage and that hours and hours of footage will give you like one minute of content. And so doing that is not it's just not easy. Documentaries cost. And again, can you do it man on the street style? Mate, but it's like really, really like we paid a lot of money when we did those docs to third party people. Yeah. um yeah like a tiktok doc i mean jake sitting in here like neat if you instead of sitting down and setting up the lights and shit like that if you went into the tat like you go to fucking i don't know rossel new jersey and the two teams meet each other and you're just walking and talking with the guy a little gorilla style thing but he's mic'd up is that is that way easier to execute can i throw out an idea yeah sure okay so i think that the the key to this whole thing is to find the crazy guy right the mailman who doesn't deliver the guy who goes to every high school game you find the crazy guy you have him on uh jerry and terry and then you go to a game with him and it's social clips when you go to the game that's that feels like it would be a quicker easier way to get people invested and then you know obviously you can get bigger than that but that's something that's a little bit lower barrier to entry that you can accomplish with a low budget and see where you know i mean if you do five six of those and everyone's like well that was incredible because like eddie does something similar where he has you know on the dog walk he has people come in you know and he's like oh i'm gonna go to the dog walk and he's like oh i'm gonna go to the dog walk uh all walks of life and he interviews and weird characters that is great weird characters are great right no yeah eddie eddie's video kind of inspired it he put that height he's like these guys hate each other in this high school basketball game like they fucking hate each other so i'm like i'm in like i i'm in on that so figuring out how to do that so okay all right yeah and then similar kind of off of the same type of thing i mean listen we're in the gambling cave all the time streaming's type of huge the same thing kind of with fan crazy fanatic type people you know like going to their like the the the fucking uh license plate guy for the giants like what does his fucking house look like like going in there and he's got six million collectibles and like adding up like again like a vlog typos type of thing yeah i spent this much money on collectibles and oh this is a rare type thing like diving into people's kind of caves or like fandom the story of their fandom a day-to-day so to speak of how fucking nuts they are in front of the tv the fan cave type thing again social clips build into a series if that whatever those are the first two off the bat i'm gonna have fucking 10 more in a month that's how i'm dialed but yeah it's those are the first two off the bat so my knee jerk again both these things almost sound like directorial type things which i do not think is your strong suit sounds like 60 minutes you're a documentarian like you're you're no i don't see you in the director's chair with something like this i i think the idea is again if i've seen the license plate guy i think people have done him the idea is certainly like if i came across this on social media and it's like you swipe right you see it like i saw one on eminem versus like suge knight the other day it sucked me in and i'm watching it this does not seem like your strong suit but because it really doesn't involve you to be totally on it like what you're talking about is a faceless to degree it's really like you're not even on camera to me it's all about the other person okay yeah that makes sense i mean you would be mixing it up with them so to speak but i get what you're saying i thought it's good yeah okay both of these especially the second one the second one you could just go do just try it right you know and i also think they're like a multiple times it's just hard to accomplish yeah but they're good ideas they're just yeah they're the the the lift is very difficult but yeah yeah try the license plate guy go visit him yeah take a camera go visit him like weirdly dan has done the best one of this ilk of with like detroit dawn and superfan yeah like yeah and that wasn't like that wasn't a documentary that was literally me just figuring out where they where they sit and just buying a ticket next to him right yeah i mean day in the life yeah i i agree but yeah so that's also what you do just fucking go and sit next to one of these guys find the craziest saint john's fan and go sit next to him for a game that's it like that's a video yeah that doesn't have to be a documentary that's just a video right there i like the ideas though you're mad i'm absolutely not okay i don't think he's mad okay i just i'm i'm just basing off the stress ball when the stress ball gets moving yeah um feeling lucky you should be meet the lucky one sweet tea from miss peaches the vodka drink that's positively doing good made with real tea and real vodka non-carbonated it's 100 calories and here's the scoop their new sweet tea is the only vodka based sweet tea on the market simple ingredients in a smooth full flavor that makes it taste just like the real sweet tea best part every can helps

today and give back one can at a time no but to dave to your point though like if yeah i'm not the center of it but it could still be like that's your thing you know what i mean like yeah all right you're saying be the center of it all right i'm not saying be i'm saying that's not one to be a center i don't know what listen i've matured i'm not going to try to push buttons i'm not going to say what i'm going to say go ahead push the button what were you going to say i don't know that you're a leading a leading man come on that felt like a button i know listen there's certainly value you're great in our dynamic that we've had for 30 years or whatever 16 presidencies when you're with me getting your buttons pushed i can't turn away when you're the leading man i fall asleep i don't know how to fix the made it about 59 minutes all right i don't think that's a bad thing what he said bosco i i i i don't know there are some things i'm not a leading man either it's not a bad thing are not great at like Like, it's just, it's not a bad thing. He's saying that you will have- But your interaction with us make all of our interactions better, but it seems like when you're outside the traditional Bosco, which is real, like your best value is always in the interplay and office and things like, I don't know. When I see Bosco Industries healthy debates, I press the snooze button. I wish I didn't, like, because again, and I'm not the ultimate- Jake, hit the volume so it doesn't fall off. I'm not the ultimate arbitrator of what's great. I've already said that. There's things here that have been wildly successful that aren't necessarily my cup of tea. So that doesn't mean, it's just from me seeing it, the internet, I've said this to you a million times, the beauty of the internet is it tells the truth. But Bosco, this isn't a bad thing because it's kind of like what you're saying with, like the crazy- It's a crazy fan thing. That video, like you can go make that and you don't have to be the leading man. It's about the crazy fan. You know what I mean? Yeah. No. Yeah, no, I get it. So it's not a bad thing that he's saying. I just don't know how he's a director. Yeah, that part, that's hard. I can't fucking do that to him. Yeah, I wasn't trying to be a director, but yeah, okay, all right. But you get, like, your best moments, are within the office interplay. Yeah. Agreed. But the office interplay is not at all times, and you're trying to build things to be sold. Now, you said you haven't watched a second of it, but it also puts you to sleep, which is contradictory. The Bosco Industries? No, I have watched a second or two of it. I've tried. Okay. That's why you should move here. This office is buzzing. Okay. You and Jerry, by the way, the touchdown, that video that you do on gambling every week, I want to be a guest. That's a great, I tune into that. It's fucking awesome. I mean, maybe it is you and Jerry. I don't know. Maybe it's you, Jerry, and Meek. You guys are, you and Jerry are great together on that. Like, that's a great, I watched that as a fan. Oh, my God. Look at the stress ball. This thing is getting murdered. Oh, my God. The stress ball has gone. I don't think I've said anything. I don't think I've said anything unfair. Like, Hank, do you agree with everything I've said? Yeah. I mean, I think, like, I think Rico gets more upset at hearing the leading man thing, but I think I'm one of them. I think there's a lot of people that aren't, like, there's few leading men at this company. Yeah. I would say the same thing about Jerry. Jerry is very, I think Jerry's very talented. And, you know, obviously there's the, after he quit Jerry After Dark, there was a stretch where he wasn't doing a lot. He does a lot now. And I think Jerry's a great ensemble guy. He's a great guy in the mix. Like, he adds funny things, his reactions, all that stuff. And I think Jerry would agree. I mean, it's hard. It's sort of the throw 99 analogy. It's like, I'd love for it to be the case. Now, who doesn't want? That's what we're trying to do. But it, I haven't seen it yet. But you're, you maybe have one of the biggest disparities between, like, must watch when you're interacting and then, like, snooze button when you're not. For me. Okay. Doesn't mean, by the way, I say this every fucking time. It doesn't mean I'm right. And I'd love to be proved wrong. But if you're asking for my honest opinion, that's what it is. Hey, we got things to work towards. I like your drive, Bosco. And I'm happy to talk to you, talk you through some of these. These ideas as well. Anytime. Like, are you ever going to be the three hitter? No. Are you ever going to be a cleanup hitter? No. You know, could you be the nine hitter? That's the coach says, hey, you're really lead off. You're our second lead off guy. Maybe. But being a nine hitter on a, on a World Series contending team. You're right. And a guy who, like, I'll say it. If you left, I would be heartbroken. You add a lot to everything that goes on here. So it's like the, the, it might not be in the numbers or leading man videos, but like you are an integral part to barstool in my mind. Right. So what's a good, what's, what's a good, what's a good average in terms of a YouTube series, then in terms of numbers. I think, I think a hundred K plus like that, that starts moving needles. I think obviously like, like every video 50 K is, is solid. I think once you get into the like a hundred K plus every episode, you're like, Oh, this is, there's money there, you know? And how many people are, how many brands are at a hundred K every single episode or what's more the average, not a lot, but that's the thing. It's like, you have to do really well to, to get to that level. It's like saying Bosco industries is a hundred grand Dave. I'm asking like this. No, a hundred K like views. I thought you said you're watching like, or I thought you said, I thought he answered. It was, I'm confused. And that's what I thought he said. No, no, no. I'm asking constructive questions. No, no, no. No, he was saying like, what, you know, when do shows like get viewed as being big shows? Yeah. It's consistency and, and, and a lot of clips too. Now like clips got to go crazy too. So yeah. Okay. All right. Well, should we talk football? By the way, we should Dave Netflix deal. Did you, uh, what has the reaction been for you on your side? Good. I mean, I, I've obviously had some people be like the sellout part of it. I say this and I sent it to, to the PMT guys who I think we're debating it internally. And I sent it to me. It was the biggest no brainer deal that I've seen cross our desk. And like, to me, it was the easiest decision to make, um, sucks for the few people who don't have Netflix, which I didn't even know those people existed. Um, but a great deal, great deal for us. Very happy about it. And I think it'll time will tell increase audience as opposed to take away from audience. Yeah, I agree with that. I think it's always tough whenever we make a change. And I understand, uh, the people that are upset. Like those are, you know, people don't have Netflix that it's hard to change people's, uh, rhythm and what they do. But I think that this is like one of those ones where it's like, Hey, I get it. You're upset. Can you give us, we built up enough equity. Can you give us at least a chance to, to try to get this? Yeah. And I tweeted, I tweeted to the wrong guy, but it's like, give me a break. Like, first of all, we've always been a for-profit business. This is people have gone to Spotify. Rogan left the Cooper left, like, and went to Spotify. People go to different areas, Netflix. Like we've, we, and I said that to Dan on text, we tried to get on HBO. We tried to get on Netflix years ago. And we're told, no, this isn't like some change. And, and by the way, we probably would have fucking paid. To be on those, on those channels. Now they're paying us. It was an absolute no-brainer. Not to mention the fact we have a lot of audio mostly. So yeah, I get people complaining. The internet definitely seems like an echo chamber from my perspective. We have people who always are trying to make more money. Want, we need to make money. It's like, that's the world. So just an absolute no-brainer, great deal. And I'm excited about it. Yeah. And the, the audio part, like we, we, I think it would be a different calculation if we were only video. Where there are some podcasts, like we built, we, we built part of my take as a pocket, 80% of our audience. We look at the numbers every day, 80% of our audience is audio only. Um, and it does suck for the few, but I, I, I think you can trust that. Who the fuck doesn't have Netflix. I also think when you have something that's like, if you, you know, if, if you, I listened to this thing, it's free for me to listen to or watch, and then it goes behind a paywall that's upsetting, you can still consume part of my take for free, correct? If you watch it on, you know, your laptop at work. There's desktop websites where you can listen to it. And if you're at work, you're listening in the background anyway. So that, and that part of it, I think people are super overdramatic where it's still free and what, and what do we like, yes, it's the odd. This, they're acting like it's some crazy, every, the NFL is on 13 different. Everybody's we're going to be the only ones in the world who are like, no, thanks. We're just going to keep, we will turn down all this money to go to again. I don't even, I know it's crazy and I know it's a paywall. I don't even consider Netflix. It's a paywall. That's how like accepted I view Netflix. And if it was, and honestly, like when we were talking about it, Dave, like we said, I said, like, if this were another streaming service, it would have been a hard no, but Netflix is the one streaming service that I feel like is so ingrained in everyone. And the same part, the part that I didn't explain well, when we did it on, when we talked about on Wednesday is people envision Netflix as it is right now. Netflix is building out an entire interface for video podcasts will be a little bump y. I'm sure. Cause everything is, but I, and we're a big central part of it. Like we're going to be featured on it. We're going to be like a big tent pole of what they're building. I, I think that like, and the, you guys are fucking so established. It's like, yes, you're people like, oh, you're not going to grow the growing. You guys continue to grow, but it's infantile and you can't because you're so big. Like biz is fucking texting me every day. He's like, I want all my content on Netflix, 90 million subscribers that will see San Francisco. sandbaggers and everything like it, this was a win with. get a few people and you're always gonna get complaints but biggest no-brainer in the history of earth for us deal wise i really believe that yeah and we also thought about it hard like that it wasn't a yes you did it wasn't a flippant like oh yeah like we dave brought it to us and we it took us a while to be like all right let's talk through everything like we're not we're not just like throwing all the fans aside being like oh yeah well fuck it we'll just get more money it's like we we thought about this it was a long and what would they say when we're trying to get the rundown on hbo like five years ago six ten years ago were they people gone nuts to me it's always like erica i told you that erica texted me um once you saw the deal she's like 2017 erica would have murdered for this deal like it's not like we we've been trying to get deals and partners that's how you fucking grow yeah all right well i'm excited so yeah we'll have more details and i think also the the one part that that sucks it's unavoidable is like we always hate having to announce something and then the weight you know what i mean like it would be that and that sucks because people can't vision it once it happens again trust us that it's gonna work and if it doesn't work which i i don't expect it to not work well i'll be the first person to say it didn't work but i i think it's gonna be a home run i really do agreed to be massive uh okay let's do picks one last thing david yeah what was the headphone comfort controversy which way are you trying to spin this thing what was the headphone i thought it was a re-gift oh yeah it was not i mean you it was just such a crazy gift to give the inside man like just it was a very nice gift yeah it's not a re-gift i mean you saw that and i saw the receipt yeah i thought it was a re-gift it was just so out of left field like what what made you think of that i you never miss an episode of pick'em uh in that sense you never miss an episode of pick'em uh in that sense you necessarily like need or it's like like a uh expensive so to speak but it's like i don't know if i want to justify that that's how i like to receive that made no sense that was one of the all right like i need a really i need a really nice pair of sneak or like a nice pair of sneakers or headphones would you buy gifts for people for what you want so to speak yeah it's like i look at that you walk the aisle you're like i really could use those i've been looking at that like i really want those and it's like well i don't know if i want to spend that much so what yeah what do you think about that i said she

you rico he wouldn't turn around i know who it is it is a know who it is it is what it is i have a good guess who go celtics that's all i'll say greedy go celtics it's gas go celtics yeah yeah playoff paulie yeah playoff by the way speaking of bama we might have our we might have our first uh intern of the 2026 summer yeah did that come through maybe okay maybe ot no i don't want to say who what are you laughing at but we might have an insert yeah yeah okay uh college football playoffs fucking good are you guys did you know that that idea was already done no i didn't i was when he was saying it i was i was a man i was you up the bullpen cue up the bikini boys like i was envisioning roan because i remember it was such a funny clip of roan with the bills guys who thought they were going to win the game and i was like oh my god i'm going to win thought they could impact field goals and they would blow against the tv and they would get it they would concussion protocol they would push guys yeah they would push guys like left and right it was so good oh this is i mean he did this years ago yeah we've put out a lot of it was for it was for pro football show because yeah he did all right yeah you know what he did he i think he went to license plate guy okay yeah it's like it's we've put out a lot of content so yeah and we did say it's not reinventing the wheel no right okay uh the let's see i can't get into bowl games that aren't the playoffs same it sucks they've ruined it i don't know who's playing so i have playoff picks and i don't have anything else i'll maybe add some let's do the playoffs alabama and oklahoma alabama is a one and a half point dog over under 41 and a half what do you guys got in this game rico i like oklahoma and i like the over i know that's gonna hurt the people obviously in tuscaloosa but i think the defense is the numbers a little low here obviously 41 defense but uh i'll take the take the over and i can i can hope they can overlook this what i sure do too um did you go watch a game with roll tide willie there's there's one of your fans um i like oklahoma but when i say like that's a gun to the head i don't like this game at all yeah i'm gonna take oklahoma but i hate this game i hate this game okay uh next game miami texas a&m miami's plus three and a half over under 48 and a half that over and under has come down big time dave i wish this was under three because for some reason i thought it was close to one or two when it opened and i loved uh a&m and i i know this is like threading the needle because i really expect a&m to win this game but it would not shock me if it came into the wire i'll take a&m this is a bet game for me three and a hook make me a little nervous especially over time which i could see i think it's gonna be i just think a&m is gonna win the game okay i like the over 48 and a half and i'm gonna take texas a&m plus or sorry miami plus three and a half because i do think it's gonna be a tight game bosco i'll take miami i uh i think it's gonna be close i think they could win it um a&m could also be a schedule merchant in the sack they played bad teams in the sec and the only team they played with a pulse was the texas a&m and they played with a pulse was texas they lose um i'm gonna go with miami here to to to take it okay next game the mincey bowl two lane old miss uh old miss is minus 17 and a half over under 56 and a half i'll start i'm gonna take old miss i think they're gonna walk walk i think they're gonna absolutely kill them yeah i have a double pick here i'm just gonna go old miss oregon this is like old like nca basketball take all the one seeds and you're at worst probably going two and two like i just don't see any way both these teams like don't cover end up in close games one of them will and i think you have a chance maybe both so it's a double i'm already giving my second pick because it needed the logic but i'm going old miss and oregon okay rico uh yeah i like old miss here minus the 17 and a half i really do uh i will say the line moving is a little odd to me but it opened out like 20 or 21 yeah what so you you like level of talent level of talent i think the old guys are a little pissed off they still got the offensive line they still got the offensive line they still got the offensive coordinator i'm going with old miss okay uh last game so dave you already got oregon i'm gonna take james madison plus 21 just as a friendship bet with pft i'm gonna root for him bosco i got the duckies again level of talent i just think it's a different different element do you guys have any uh do you have a mortal and we're gonna do one more pick them the pick them finale will be after the new year we'll do for the uh college football semifinals that'll be the pick yeah let me whip through my card okay yeah go through your card i i i i gonna be honest i don't know how much like bowl season is just kind of yeah yeah same zap it out of me

Okay, clarification. No, no, no, no. You got to do it now. Shut up, Hank. It's a clarification. I think I know what the clarification is. Clarification. Give us a clarification. You still recording? Yeah. This is a big clarification. I am bigger than my problems. Okay, come on. Clarification. See, this is the shit, though. Like, again, it's the same thing. Like, nobody puts a line in front of Jerry. Like, they put pokers in front of him. They put a line in front of me, and then – Well, you made the face, and then you said clarification.

Can you text me the clarification, and I won't say it? I already know what it is. Go ahead. What was it? No, if you're not going to say it, I'm not going to say it. We'll say it at the same time. Okay. You got to be honest. Deal. Okay. On the count of three? Yeah. I'll count it. One, two, one. Is – Is that on top? On top of the raise. Did you ask for a million-dollar salary? Okay. Which you haven't been given. Is it on top of the raise? I just heard Meek say yes for a million-dollar salary. You got to – That's a clarification. Is that – Telling you got to stop. Is that – Telling you got to stop for your own safety. He hasn't been granted a raise. For your own safety, stop. Is it on top of the 10%? Is that a threat for your own safety? Stop. Wait. What does that mean? Yeah, that was a threat to me. For his own safety. For his own safety. He's got to get out. What does that mean? For your own safety? Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't like yelling, so it's safety of yelling. Meek doesn't like yelling? That's a great spin zone. It spins on pretty good on the spin zones today. Oh. Yeah, that was the question. Yeah. Right. And again, we'll see how it all shakes out. Yeah. All right, so it's on top of the raise? No. Okay. So it would be the raise. That would be a guaranteed 10% total raise. Yes. That's a great raise. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. Okay, mortals for everyone else. Hank? Duckies. Okay. Okay. Wow. Hank's going to tune in the stream. Are you coming streaming this weekend, Bosco? Yeah.
