There's not a lot now, but my office is open, so I don't have doors, so if someone's doing the dishes in the other room, it's in my ear. That's the design look flaw. You gotta get a new office. I would argue that I can get the house to be quiet when I'm doing the podcast, so the sound is gone or good. The first day was like I was in here for one day. It's not grand. It can be, but it also is like it's my house. So if I'm on the podcast, I think I can get silence around me. I think that's fair. That's fair. How's everyone doing? So it's week 10. We are in a heated race. Dave, you and I, you're at 52% I'm 51.2% Rico. You're 42.7%. That's terrible. For the Pat Hill trophy, Ebo is now eight and one in Bob Diaco. Fantastic season for me. Bob Diaco. I'm six and three. Rico five and four, Zupi five and four, Hank five and four, Jack four and four, and Dave four and five. How are we doing, boys? What's up? I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm doing great. When my 100 star plays start hitting and even my 50 star plays, I feel good. I have an M in my account right now in draftings. Let's go. We'll see how long that lasts. I was slow start, but the last two weeks, I've really kicked it into a different gear starting. I told you when I go big game hunting, it changes everything. Yeah. The Vandy game that Northwestern and then I took Vandy again. So between those, that's half a mill right there. 200, 200, 100. I know another guy on this panel with big game hunting. Yeah, he lost. Never close. Not even. So Rico took, he took the five grand that they won for the basketball game. Was that the whole team's bet, by the way? No, no, everyone has one. Yeah, they can pay that out. Anyway, big game hunting on Oregon. 37 and a half minus 130. Yeah. So he Oregon over 37 and a half. He then tried to tell me to my face. It was actually good for me. He's rooting for me because they're playing Wisconsin. And then in listen, I know I can lose betting. Like I lose betting left and right. And I agree with you, Rico. I saw Rico getting a little testy going back at people who were telling him it was a bad bet. What? I agree with you. Like showing up after the game to be like, bad bet. Right. What would you say, though, to the people who maybe said before the game, when you make the biggest bet of your life and you go big game hunting to buy a point means that it's probably not a great bet. Well, it didn't move. It was moving back and forth as it turns out by Friday. 37 and a half was where it was at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 3 and a half was when I went to draftings. That's what now it was minus 130. And I didn't move it, but he wanted to buy a point on when we did the show. He's like, I'm going to buy that to say because that that obviously indicates that you don't love. Love it. Right. Buying points is never the way to go over the long haul. No, football never. Football numbers matter. You saw that with Northwestern. I'm just saying football numbers. Matt football numbers matter, though. And I didn't buy anything granted. But if you if it's that big and it could get you not leaving it up to now, you're wrong. Because if that comes into matter, if let's say seven and a half, eight, eight, seven and a half, three and a half, three, if you're buying those points, first of all, I think those points, why look are even more than like another 10%. They're like 20%. I think, but if you just do the math, the amount of times that that will matter in your life does not outweigh you getting juiced in paying that extra. I don't do it every time. I would also argue if you're buying, if it's seven to seven and a half or six and a half to seven or three to three and a half, those will matter a lot more in your life than 38 and a half and 37. Well, it's crazy. I think he does it in basketball. He definitely doesn't. No, you don't buy, you don't buy any points in basketball. No. Yeah, I mean, buying points is like a losing proposition over. Just like catching out. Yeah. You want to, you're there. But then like you look at it, like if I bet, I bet a lot. So say, bet a hundred grand. It's like, Oh, I can get like, I can get 85% of it, but 15's a ton. You add that up. You can only do that like a couple of times and then only on back when it, when it's really, really big. That's all they all, they don't, I always look at it with all of it. They don't offer stuff that helps you. Like, cashing out is not to be, Hey, we like you. Let's let you cash out. That's not why they're doing it. So, Rico, how often do you buy points? Hardly ever. I mean, a big game thing. I was not letting it. They could, they could have a really, really good game score 38 points. And I would have lost on that. Like to that, I didn't want it to come down to that. So it's whatever. But, but the underlying thesis that is according to you, that's not a, like if you're betting it, that's not a, you're like, you're not betting to win by hadn't that granted. I did in Northwestern, even though like it kind of was what I thought. Like I think Northwestern go to one of the game and I want to buy that was in a half a point game. But if you're betting your big bet, you're anticipating winning by more than half a point or else that would be your best pick. If you're loading up on something, you're not being like, but I also need, it's going to come down to the wire to a half. Right. Well, it can't be like they played a game. Really, really, really good game. And I won by half a point. If you have your really, really, really good game, you win by plenty. Now it didn't matter that like I had Oregon. So that was the wrong side. It's a little bit, it's a it's a little bit easier because I was debating between three different ways. Game first half, that was the wrong side. It was the wrong gets. The weather was more of a factor than you thought. More gets hurt. They can't get going. Wisconsin's defense, give him credit. Better than we, you know, better than more getting hurt, did not. I mean, I mean, it just was icing on the cake, icing on the cake, icing on the cake. That's all. So yeah, it was just wrong, wrong side. And it makes it even worse to like, it was the day of Kansas State, Kansas and Kansas State was getting points, which we won't get for 10 fucking years. We will not get Kansas State plus for the next 10 years. And I miss my opportunity. It happens. You got to go big to lose big. You got to step up to fuck up. So stepped up, you fucked up. It's how it goes. It's not a good good. If you go big, you can lose big, but that's like to fuck up. When you're pumping up the boys, you're like, Hey, listen, if we're going to really lose a lot of money today, we got a bet. A lot of money. It was like a free bet kind of was like to really stepped up. You took, you took your winnings and pushed it. It happens. You got to come make the lose make it happens. You're going down like there are a ton of people in the third quarter and in fourth quarter, that's a fire thing. If there's a ton of people in the third or fourth quarter, like, obviously we saw the outcome. Do you have like, what do you want me to do? What was your wager before the game? No, I agree with you. I think those people are playing gotcha culture. I don't, I don't like the Johnny come lately. I was more saying it because I did on this very show on Wednesday. I said to you, if this is your best bet $5,000, why are you buying a point? So I agree with you. I said it before the game. Yeah, it was, I felt bad for you. I was, you know, I wasn't rooting for you because I wanted, I want Wisconsin not to look like the worst, but yeah, that's suck for you. Yeah, we bounced back adversities don't, you know, don't keep you down for a long period of time. It's cliches, the, the Bosco cliches show. He's just hitting it right now. I'm just saying. And that didn't even, that wasn't like, you didn't even get there with that one. What was it at first. He's don't keep you down for a long time. They used to keep me down forever though. You're like, you're like, you're like the 75% cliche guy, where it's like almost there. I don't know all of them. I don't know if you know any of them because none of them have been real cliches yet. No, not really. Step up the fuck up. Yeah. Okay, what else is going on? How was, how was, how was the upfronts? Really good. I missed the neutral full people. They were there early. I was getting off the plane and then got there as quickly as possible. They had already gone pat and Marty talked them a little bit, but good. Talked to a bunch of people we got. I heard about that. I heard about that. What? That you missed your client. Right. Okay. What was, I don't know. I was going to talk about it off there to you. I didn't think it was on air. I'm maturing. Oh, wow. So it's really bad. Well, wait, are we going to, are we going to talk about it on air? I mean, you're their guy, right? They're putting in and then you weren't there. So it was, I, yeah, but it wasn't, hey, you overslept or you're like, oh, it starts here and I'll get there when I get there. I did it after dark. I did pick them. I did house call. I got on the fastest plane, got off and went straight there, changed in the airport, brought my clothes. Like, so yeah, yeah. All right. Won't yeah. All right. This is David. What time do the upfronts are we go? What time do you get there? I agree. I agree. Listen, when I first, it came to my attention. I was stunned. I did hear it was like, well, he tried to get there as fast as he can. I'm trying to think of a cliche about trying right now. You guys step up the fuck up. Do we have any trying cliches? What was it? Who held the sign when they were walking on? Try so hard and got so far, but it doesn't even have it. The good try. Good effort, kid. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Good try. Good effort, LeBron. Just try me hottest. Try me hottest or, uh, yeah, if you don't try, how about this one, David, if you don't, if you don't, if you never try, you can never disappoint your boss on pick him. You know, we'll say that one again. If you never try, you could never disappoint your. Well, he was trying. He was trying, but he should not try. And then he can't disappoint you. He tried to get there, but we got a big client there that's in the Bosco business and there's no Bosco. That's tough to explain. We can get out of this one Bosco. No, it's the, the outcome is what, the outcome. He's upset with the outcome. Yeah, you got to, you got to change it. So it's, I don't know how we would have changed it. That's where I get. No, I'm not busing your balls. No, but I'm, it's maybe a priority thing like a list of priorities. I, what you have going on, major client in the Bosco business going to the upfronts to meet Bosco, no Bosco. Let's get Bosco there somehow. Was there any communication after the fact? No. Oh, no apology. Like note or like, uh, you know, like a dozen bagels or something. I don't have it direct. He's not, yeah, Rico's not making the sale. What do you mean he's not making the sale? Like, he's not communicating with them. So how is he supposed to, well, like, I'm a big, like, high new guy and like, they want to meet, like, they, they're, before they're going to commit big dollars. It's like, we got to meet Dave. We got to see what he's about. If, all right. So Dave, if the upfront six to 10 and you're like, I'll see you guys at the upfront. You're going to be there for four straight hours. Well, if I'm, he wasn't there for the first hour. I'm saying, but like that, like, but yes, was it, was it told in not, not maybe not right now, but back, back in the day, yeah, and 100% if like, if I know, yeah, we went to a mall and we stayed for the whole thing. And, and I know, if again, a draft, my big clients, draft kings, gal, I knew, if I'm there, hour one, and they're not there yet, I'm waiting till they get there, surely to be like, hey, thank you, like, excited to meet you. Maybe we can like do some stuff. I know, like, yes. That's, yeah. But now I'm not playing, but Bosco. It's not like he was dilly-dally. It's not like it. It's not like, Verazo Bridge was shut down or something. When he, when he missed a funeral, it's not like that. Yeah, right. It was a misalignment of priorities. What did you say you did? I did after dark. And then we did the shows on the run Wednesday. Yeah. So like, those to me are, like, you could do after dark the following, like, okay, live and learn, you know, I'm going to try salvage this thing. I got some connections over there. Maybe send them some bagels, Dave. Yeah. I think that's it. Like, maybe a card. Just you get step up to fuck up, Bosco. What's going through your head right now, Bosco? He's mad. Oh, is he, oh, you mad at Hank? I don't tell anyone. I'm mad at anybody. I'm not mad at anybody. You told him this day. Well, no, I can't. Hold on. I absolutely said if we can use him on, on advisors, I had no idea what his timing was for rest of the day. I didn't tell him to get it. Like, if he said, I have a sales thing, also advisors who's done it 1045. Right. And then we did house call at 12. And I got on the first house calls. Probably the thing that you could have said, hey, we don't, we don't have to do this because there is a play every day, every hour. That's fair. That's fair from Chicago, New York. What's house call with Jerry? Yeah. That's probably it. Who else is on it with you? Man, Jerry, anyone else? Dana was on last week. But anyone else that's on it a lot of times. Hank was. Oh, Hank. Okay. Yeah. Big advertiser. Yeah. Bosco business. I heard about it. It's like, oh, they're excited to meet Bosco. Then I heard they didn't meet Bosco. I was like, what? I could be fine, Bosco. I'm working double time to smooth it over. Okay. I think it'll be fine. We need to set up a future meet and read or something. It's not bad. Dan, it's not. It's, yeah. I mean, it's not the sulking. It's just I've lowered. Yeah. I got a plan this year. I'm trying to stick to that plan. Anything that offsets it. You don't cry about it. Whatever. But it's just like, all right, Dan, miss that shot. Now it's, I'm going to hit the next five. And I really do think that's how it's been this year. Yeah. I'm interacting you trying to drag into this or like, you know, whatever, all the contract is like, I got a fucking plan. I love it. Yeah, knows it too, because there's no like, even with conversations with Dan, it's not like, Hey, what do you think like this and that pulling aside? It's just like work, work, work. Like, that's it. I'm sticking to the plan. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. So Mr. Shot hit the next five. I love that. I was just saying like, you're, you're, you gone silent. We got to get you back right now. Yeah, because I don't, I don't like, yeah, I don't like fucking up, but you're not shooting. We got to keep shooting. Yeah, we'll keep shooting. I mean, it's just a show. You'll be calling for the ball. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. Yeah, just passing around the office. Yeah, chop it up with the boys. Hey, it's PFT.

Really? 62.44% over last year. 62. I didn't see those numbers, but that's great. I got a spreadsheet. Let me share with you. I feel like that. Sure, let's see. Let's go. Who said this red sheet? It's it's calculated myself. What? It's straight YouTube. I don't have access to the back end, but you look at YouTube. It's public. Oh, so you two are four four. Well, no, Internet's math. Yeah, it's up 62.44 episode over episode love that. That's huge. Yeah, how? Okay, yeah, love that. Jack, what are you? Are you looking at the numbers? I'm just doing some research. Oh, Jack's doing some read Jackie. Jackie's loving this is someone leaked that you weren't at the upfront. I'm curious about who the rats are in New York, Moscow. No, wouldn't be a rat. Like he's got communication with the client. I thought he said that someone. I didn't know if it was the client. Well, he's got we got, I mean, we got a mutual friend over there. So, but, uh, he, you know, he talks more as I do. I have an inside source, inside source. So that you talk to your inside source where the Rico does. Oh, yeah, yes, accurately. Yes, that's we want to keep it that way. Yes. Yes. Um, but yes, very. Yeah. Uh, no, Jack. I mean, I also I walked in. It wasn't like, oh, there's a shrimp cocktail. Like, fine pat. I'm like, hey, what's going on? Nutrically? It's just the inside source. I've heard the inside source on confiscals fighting for Bosco. And then more Bosco more Bosco and the inside source like Bosco left me like, you know, out to dry here. So maybe another gift basket for the inside source. Do you want to issue an apology right now? Look in the camera, maybe. Yeah, I said I'm sorry, Jack. Okay. What are you doing, Jack? Dave, this is just this is this is this is two men, three men sorting out an issue like business wise and it's a toddler in the corner. Bluey, bluey, bluey, bluey, bluey, bluey, bluey, bluey, like not right now, like, like, let the don't talk over here. That's tough. That's, that's the tough one. And I was I mean, keep it. You know, you did. You did. You did. You almost say, you're a real con. You J almost, you're a con. Yeah. All right. Here we keep. Come on. Stick into the plan. I think it's very evident. I am sticking to the plan. So are you researching numbers? Stills it, Jack? Yeah. And I bet you Bosco is good at math. 62% seems high, but I don't know the numbers of 60% two percent from last year or 62% okay. That's awesome. What happened last year? Um, I don't know. There was a dip like in the middle. It depends what people want to want to view. Yeah, if they want like a little bit of minus two and a half. Right. Who comes up with this studio, by the way, that plant is outrageous. Just sitting like a lone plant. Like, oh, let's do this. Do you have a day or you would alone. Don't complain about the office. A lone plant. Some nice lighting in there. Yeah. What else? I don't know who that was. An outrageous clip. I would like somewhere that isn't a nice box all the time. Do I like that somewhere? Natural light. Where? Natural light. And can I say something else for a media company? Um, it would be really nice to have a room you could record in with lighting. Um, and I know that sounds really crazy for a media company, but I do think that would be really nice. I also think it would be so crazy to ask for this for a media company, but having like Wi-Fi literally in the office would be so quiet. Moscow, you're going to get people into control there. I don't understand what they're talking about. Your studio seems like it's right now. I'll say a ridiculous looking plant. Well lit. I can see you clearly. Your sound works. Yeah, I'm out of the complaining business. Completely free of it. Oh, here we go. I got. No, I'm asking if you're completely free of it. Are you? That sounded like you had something that you've been complaining about. No, if anything, I'm just complaining to get better. Like we're going back to each other. We're going back. All right, listen, listen, there was no way to go. There was a there was a rift max max in our locker room now. He does a great job. You saw a little rift in the locker room with me and Jetsky, but I think that's two guys who want to win. You know, like they they're both that's what he said, competitive edge Dave said it to like it was a rift in the locker room, but it's to get better. It's not like, you know, Jetsky, like, you know, you fucking all these people do this and fucking can't believe that. I'm driving my car and fucking I'm not looking in the other two lanes staying in the middle lane the whole way. Get better. Get better. You get it. And that justifies to the same conversations I've had with Dave, Dan and Hank, as well as Jack. Hey, Jack, you got ads coming at need this done. Yeah, bang it out. No problem. Driftings like, let's go. There were other ads that they're up front too. We got some ads coming with a thing down the road. Like talk to those people. Like, yeah, I mean, you're there. Like, let's go. These are the people like helping everybody. Like, this is the team. Let's go. Same thing. Little setbacks. Like, hey, you're not going to be on Fox anymore. Fucking Dave doesn't like me. Call my wife. You believe me. Shit. No, okay. How can I be a part of that winning team? How can I do that? Fucking everyone wants to dunk on me and make fun. Oh, you the 12th man on fucking Zavarian. Guess who gave fucking Levant's the best looks and fucking practice? No fucking say it too. I did. You don't have to score 20 to win a fucking champion. Levant's field. Look at our babies. Look it up. Should have went to the final foie fucking Scotty Reynolds. Come back. Pittsburgh, whatever. You can be a part of a team and fucking and win. Facts fired up. I'm fired up too. So because I truthfully like there's it shit that backs up. There's no like it usually listen. If I was calling a bunch of bullshit, Dan and David re interjecting to like, well, you know, and then I and you go back. I'm just saying. Talking about now. Okay. No, I'm saying if I was a full of shit, like you poke holes, like Swiss cheese, like, oh, yeah, stick it in the fucking plan. It's pretty evident. No, I think the plan working last Wednesday. Dial dial. You need you need a boss goes pyramid of success the way you're going. Like the plan. Yeah, and it's, yeah, point plan to success. Dial playing to get better. Step up the fuck up. Put them on a shirt. If you can't, if you don't go huge, you can't lose huge. We're doing it. So a jacks of jacks, a big critic jack. Where do you think that? I mean, like, I think you've actually been mentally once the cameras are not rolling like that's a whole other fucking story. But I've decided to channel all that energy to like, yeah, a bunch of everything's a bunch of is hell great with ads. I appreciate it. Yeah, no, he's even crushed great on stream to here. I love having you here. Yeah, we should get back on the you moving here train. Oh, yeah. Geico. Geico. We got to talk to Geico. Yeah, we switched to all state. Oh, we switched to all state. Okay. But I wouldn't say there's zero complaints. Like, and that's fine. I complain. Everyone complains. Everyone complains. Let's not pretend we don't complain. Yeah, you just don't complain to me and Dave anymore. I don't think I complain to Jackie. No, not me. I would say like maybe JJ, but do you complain to Jerry? That's like a therapy session. They're going back and forth. JJ's a big complain guy as well. Yeah, I know that. I know that's not. That's more of a therapy. You two are, yeah, you two are the JJ and Bosco show. I that that's another one I would love to pay for of them when they're in the when they're in their respective cars. And they're just like, yeah, these fucking guys, you guys are joined fishbowl. Yeah, just around a big group like fuck everybody's session. That was a tough clip. That was you got to keep I do shit with Jerry. You got to keep Jerry. You're like, I got to check your smelly are getting rave reviews for shutting their malls during that clip. That was great game awareness pocket presence of being like, this is not going the way everyone thinks it's going right now. Yikes. Yikes. I also think they have everything that they listed. I don't know what they're talking about. Like your studio is there. Like BFFs was there. Well, Bosco is there. There's still I don't I don't know what they're. Yeah, the internet has gone in and out at that office since the beginning of time, but it's that's just I don't know. I don't care. You got to know your role in your position before you start complaining about everything. Something Bosco is taking almost eight presidencies to learn, but he's learned. He's learned it. He doesn't do it. No. Yeah. Sorry. I wasted the time. I also you're only like your limitations shouldn't. You can only attack what you have in terms of your limitations. Or like.

No, he's not jail in Hertz. It sounds like you haven't made a lick a sense. No, it sounds like he got in a really like horrific car accident. He came out just speaking like jumbled cliches. Where it's like, yeah, how's Bosco doing? Ah, he's okay, but, you know, none of his cliches make any sense anymore. They all kind of have limitations.

Like, rice high school played in a gym that was as big as this fucking room. They hung banners left and right. They didn't fucking cry. They got to go get on a bus, go somewhere else, like, oh, we got a small gym. Okay, we got a small gym. >> Sovereign DJ's scratch from the classic. >> Oh, that sucks. >> Mohics had them fucking, hey, roll up your shorts and we're going to play some DJ's scratch from the Clinell, nobody cares about that. >> I did. I said that sucks. >> That sucks. >> I said Mohics. >> Oh. >> Mohics are great coach. >> Oh, Mohics. Wait, who's Mohics? >> Coach, they're right. >> I feel like I got in a car. >> Campbell Walker. Campbell Walker's high school coach. Good guy. >> Who's the favorite now? What's going on? >> Probably fierceness or the foreign horse there that was I hate. I was going to talk to you with six to five. >> I'm so over foreign horses and Japanese horse is going to win the Derby and eventually and I'm going to be on one. >> I'll bet a foreign horse on grass. I just so over them in the big races. >> No, they'll be okay. >> Okay. >> It's going to be so great when they finally have like renting a little like that. >> You're rooting for them? Why would you root for them to win the Kentucky Derby? >> I don't understand what race I don't understand. I'm printing something. I got to do a show a barrel later. I got to. >> I heard he's a horse guy. >> Yeah. >> Holy. >> Is it life? >> What is it? >> Did you get the. >> Forever young? What? >> I'm trying to think of the foreign horse. >> Where did you land on that cliche there, Bosco? Did you find your way through it? >> Yeah. I don't really have it. Mac workshop it. See what you can do. No, it's just like the same thing like oh, we got a small gym like you don't like whatever. I don't know. Made more sense of my head. >> Yeah. >> I feel like something's up here. I mean, I you can't the whole sales thing forget it the upfront like obviously whatever. >> You were working. >> I long I'm going to try to like again, I'm working on it. >> But if Bosco was working and in the past, it would be Bosco missing it for, you know, because he just decided he wanted to stay home or he wanted to watch NATO to his exhibition practice or something. This is, he was working. He was traveling, he was working, that's not, that's not a you, Bosco. >> That sucks. We do got to get you out here, Bosco. >> Yeah. >> It would be, you know, it's your elective time you're here. >> Situation is getting a little bit better. >> Right. >> All state. >> We just got to get all state out board, right? >> Yup. >> Okay. Any thoughts about the openings, college football, then what we can do the cards and in. >> Forever young, that's the name of the Japanese horse, but that sucks. That really ruins that race, I'm excited for that fuck. >> Yeah, it does. >> The curse of the cause. >> Yeah, I don't know that you can say sovereignty is like, what it is like an athlete. That's availability, availability, he didn't run in the precness. They arrested him now, he's sick for the classic. >> Yeah, he's like, quite Leonard. >> Yeah, when he plays, it's awesome, and then when, and then he just, oh, whoops, he's out for the playoffs again. Any thoughts on the coaching, anything shocking, Brian Kelly, that was never going to work. It's really, I was joking like the amount of people that have just dunked on him. It really shows how much he's hated. He is no one likes that guy. >> Yeah, Sean reminded me of that snow shoveling story with a floor in Salah that he did back in the day, and then the recruit thing, like he took three plates of barbecue, stepped out on the phone, acted like it was nothing, and then high-tailed it out of there. Yeah, he's a weird guy. >> Do you have any, oh, by the time, by the time this, the next pick-up comes out, college basketball is going to have started. So this is actually our last pick-up, no, dude, that's, it's just not true. You just got more sports to talk about. >> Right, but I like this our last fully focused, like we're gonna, we have college basketball on Monday. >> Yeah. >> Give a national champion. >> I like three. I've already placed two, but I like three others, well, two others, no, hold on, I think it's total four. >> I have Alabama, obviously, have BYU, and I'm looking at, with this kid foster coming back. Everybody's gonna hate it. I think it's a good value. I like Gonzaga, and I like Oregon at 100 to 1. They got two guys in the top 100 players. It's Dana Altman. I kind of like, I like how you were talking about Michigan. >> Michigan's really good. You said they were down a little bit. Yeah, it's like the dusty they beat St. John's the other night. >> And the scrimmage? >> In the scrimmage. >> Yeah. >> I wasn't. I said, I said, the guy talks to you, so they're gonna be top five preseason. They just weren't. They're not talking about, they're, they're in the mix though, they're, they're like teens. >> There's nothing better than Feast Week. I'm excited. >> Yeah, Feast Week. It's weird though now that players there as shit has shifted away from like the Maui and stuff. That's become the big thing out in Vegas because they could get paid, but yeah, we'll see. Yeah. I mean, Alabama's St. John's in a couple weeks. I'll be there next Saturday. >> Is he, oh yeah, is that the one? Are you sitting with Ripoli? >> No, I don't think so. >> I know, I know, I mean, he's got his guys, he sits next to Rick, it's fine, we'll, we'll beat him, we'll beat him, we'll dunk on him and then move it along. >> Yeah, move it along. All right, let's do, uh, let's do some picks, let's do the cards. >> It's Fran from Chicks in the Office. The weather is getting cooler and Abercrombie's fall drop has everything I need for the season. The best selling A and F Sloan Taylor pant is a closet staple for me. I'm always wearing it to work events, happy hour, anytime I want to be a bit more dressed up.

Find your fall capsule at Abercrombie, shop in the app online and in stores. >> Dave, first game, this was actually the weekend in August, remember the tweets were going viral, being like, if anyone has anything to do on November 1st, tell them like, fuck off. Doesn't look as stacked up, yeah, because it was, you know, Penn State, Ohio State, I think there was a, you know, South Carolina was ranked really high at the beginning of the season, so it was Florida, South Carolina, Ole Miss was supposed to be a big game. So maybe a little, not the same amount of huge matchups, but we do have some big ones. So I put on Penn State, Ohio State, because Dave, you're going, you'll be there. >> Yep. >> Ohio State's minus 20 and a half, over under 43 and a half, how are you feeling about your return to Columbus? >> Yeah, a little obviously, this is kind of the air out of the tires on this one as everybody would say. I've already been to Columbus since they won the title, so it's just a game, like Gronk is on big noon kickoff, like they booked him before the season, like, it's just a lot of stuff gearing to this game on a game that's a 20 point favorite and I'm not going to touch it, but I would take Ohio State. I mean, it's just so hard to fathom that Penn State can go from a national title pick to this bad, but here we are. I'll take the buck guys, they've looked great. I was the first to tip my cap to the quarterback, he's great, defense looks great, they haven't played anybody. Somebody's going to have to punch him in the mouth, get him in a bloody fight and see what they're made of. That probably will be Michigan, so until then, who knows, I'll take buck guys here. >> How are you feeling about that game overall, because that's, I mean, it's crazy, you don't want to become the team that if you, like, that's your season and nothing else, you know, you want to go to the playoff. >> Well, Michigan, if they beat Michigan, beats Ohio State, they're going to play off. >> Yeah, they have, they should take care of business getting to that game, then. >> Yeah, I mean, Maryland at Maryland, Maryland at Maryland, no, they don't have Iowa. >> They don't have Iowa? >> No, I think they have Maryland at Maryland. We have Purdue this week. >> That's easy one. >> We're at Maryland, and I think that's like it. >> Oh, you must have a buy, too, still, I'm looking right now. >> Minnesota, maybe at Northwestern, that's at Riggly, that's a tricky one. >> I think Riggly helps. >> That's a tricky one, though. >> Yeah, but I think it helps. >> Yeah, but I think it helps Northwesterns. >> Northwesterns been good. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No Northwesterns. Yeah, listen, if you can't beat Northwestern, then, like, you're probably not going to, like, I have, if we don't beat Northwestern, I have no, we don't deserve the playoffs. Like, no, yes, Northwestern is tricky. They shouldn't be tricky for playoff team. So it should be went out Ohio, state, and we're going to be going to, we're going to, to keep improving. And if they keep improving, like I wasn't overly impressed with them at Michigan state. But again, that's where other we came in. Anyways, I'm taking Michigan here. Nobody, you have to see what this team Ohio is going to do with game pressure, which they have not had so far. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm excited for a, because the big 10 is like it's Indiana Ohio state. Those are the two best teams. And there's a group of teams right after that Michigan, Iowa, Oregon, in that like second group that like can, can a couple of those teams get in. So I'm, I'm going to take Ohio State in this game. I agree with you. I, Julian saying just makes me nervous. Like that's the year's pass. I keep saying it. I think he makes the plays that needs to be played made in big moments. But we'll see. Yeah. And Rico, what do you got? I want nothing more than obviously the state pen demise. I hope it's a fucking blowout. Give me Ohio State. Ohio State first half and state pen under 10 and a half points. That'll have to defecate. Stingy. Stingy as fuck. So that's triple play. Yeah. Like that. Ohio State doesn't have the cleanest record ever. But I hate state pen. So fucking run it up on them. Would you have Ohio State first half of that? Yeah. I'll take that as well minus 10 and a half. Next game. Vandy, a Texas, Texas minus two and a half. Over under 44 and a half. I think there's a chance. Arch doesn't play because obviously the backup and you got a little banged up. I'm, I'm going to go, I've been on the Vandy train with you, Dave. I'm getting off. I'm getting off. I'm staying on, Dan. I'm staying on driving. I, this is one of those spots. Obviously, I think a lot of people, a smart people, Texas. I don't know. I keep saying my same Vandy rant every week that this and they could have lost Missouri. They didn't like totally outplay him. Bobby. No, Missouri actually kind of outplayed Vandy. Like totally talking about like, yeah. And Pavia talking like he deserved the Heisman after that game. It's the defense that won him the game. They had an 80 yard touchdown run. Pavia really did nothing. But regardless, this is a Vandy team that came in the season not looking for one or two big wins. They were looking to go to the playoffs. Maybe compete for an SEC crown, which is unheard of. So I really think every week they're ready to go. They're not like, oh, we just beat that team. So I'm sticking with them. I don't think Texas is any good. And I think Vandy again, they already showed they went on the, I know the score they lost to Bama, but it's not indicative. That's when I really was like, okay, this team's for real. I'm going to stay with them. I think they win this game. I just some, I'm looking at this as this is Texas desperate. They have, they're not going to go to the playoffs. Obviously they have to play at Georgian in a week and then or two weeks. They have Arkansas. They have Texas A&M to finish the season. They're not going to end the season with two losses. But this is kind of their line in the sand last chance. They had to, they got to win this game and then Vandy has been off multiple huge wins going on the road. I agree with everything you're saying. Yeah, you're saying right. You're saying the opposite of what you're basically saying why I could see people taking Texas. But I just think, yeah, if it wasn't Vandy, as I've said, if this is Alabama's uniforms with the same team in the same results, they haven't been beating teams like Alabama used to beat teams like that Missouri game. I'm saying this year. Yeah, Alabama's not smoking teams. Yeah. Oh, no, I agree. I think Alabama's kind of got a little bit of a high wire act going right now. Yeah, they do. So that's what I'm saying. If this, if, if this year's Alabama team was just wearing like they switch uniforms, I think everyone would be like, Oh, give me Bama here. But because it's Vandy and I think they're begging people to take Texas. Oh, see, that's where I disagree. I would, if Bama was playing at Texas and the line was the same right now, I might, I would probably still take Texas because of, I think both teams are doing a little high wire act and then have to go on the road after winning a bunch of big games. Okay, I'm Vandy. Okay, I'm Texas or Rico. I'm minus two and a half. Yeah, I'm going to take Vandy because I'm rooting for new blood in the playoffs. I do like Bobby. I do like the story. But then you talked about it. Now listen, I don't think they're going to make the play because they can't run through this gauntlet. But it is interesting. If they did only end with three losses and they, and they beat Vandy and A&M. It's a pretty compelling resume. Like yeah, they have the Florida. I know they lost the Florida, but then they still could have beat. If they take, if they split between Vandy and Georgia and A or A&M and take two of those, I don't think they will. I'm just saying there is a path that they could write, you know, they could have some impressive wins here and be a fringe player of team down the road. Again, I don't think they're very good. But if you're a Texas fan, like trying to see the optimism, the path is here. You got some big ones in the SEC. That's how it goes with that said. I'll take man. No, the path is they got to win out. Yeah, well, that's a path. That is a path. That's definitely a path. But I, I think if you look at that resume two and one in those big ones, they become fringe. Like, it's not as bad as you think because like we're talking about, it's who you've beaten. They would have, let's say A&M's undefeated Thanksgiving weekend. They take them down like, okay, they're pretty good, they're pretty good win. Big wins would be either Vandy, Vandy or Georgia, one of them, one of them two really like really big wins. Because they're saying they can lose this week and win out and they're in. It's out. You're saying I actually agree with that. I don't think I don't think that's going to happen because I think they'd be in the discussion. I think that if you win your last three games, right? And it's against A&M and at Georgia, I think you'd probably get in. But you're ranked 20th right now. If you lose this week, you're out of the rankings. You think they get all the way back to the top. Yeah, because that Georgia is such a big win and then the versus potentially undefeated A&M to end the season. I do. I think they should get rewarded. I mean, listen, you know, the SEC, the same thing. We're talking about a hypothetical. I don't think it's fucking happening. But that's true. But I'm just, you know, but those are two. If you end the week, yes, that's see, that's what I'm saying. I said it on pic central and it was like, well, I just don't think that's going to happen. I said, that's fine. And I don't think it's going to either. But if you're a Texas fan and you're trying to be like, you know, or people being like, all season's dead, you look at Ohio State last year. They were seasons clearly not damn. I mean, I'm done part about this conversation. If you're Texas fan, you're clearly not thinking the season's dead because if you clearly went out, you're clearly in it. So you're not just forfeiting this game against Vanderbilt. This would be a conversation for next week if they lose. Well, that yeah, that's the other part of it. Dan, they are favored in this game. Well, I said that. I said that right. Well, so when I say something, you could be the other part of it. You don't, right? Well, he you highlighted it. You definitely highlighted it. But yeah, don't we wait to have this conversation until like, no, it's not. Well, it depends. It all depends about Vandy. They're in a big game right now. So yeah, it's this is why who are you talking about Vandy or Czech? No, I'm saying it all. It matters about the Vandy game. Like Vandy is, that's the first stop here. You're saying if they lose this and went out, they can still get in. Can we have that too? No, no, no, no, no, Dave, you got it. You got to understand. This is the beauty of Bosco. He likes to have the hypothetical before the hypothetical. He likes to do a hypothetical to the hypothetical. So you gotta let him just go. Okay, there's so many different like things. You're having. Yeah, you can't even decide what what it looks like. What? Texas loses this game and then wins out, put every other team ahead of them wins out. What what is that? That's a different conversation. We'll get to that next. Let's let this play. I think if I don't want to do it, let's let this game happen. Right. And if Texas loses, we can revisit. But this is also just an insane hypothetical to throw out there anyway, because Texas literally has their season still alive. They can win out. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, you keep talking about a potential path. They have a path. It's called winning out. But I do think some people are down in the dumps thinking like, oh, we can't. They can't win out. They can't. I'm saying, you're up. You've got the opportunities. They're coming. And you're favorite in this one. So it starts. I don't have a horse in the race in Texas, but I'm just saying of course if they win out, they're in. But if they lose this game or they are, they definitely out. It is a million different ways. They could win and maybe lose to George and B a and M and like, like, let's just let this game play out. Yes. And they are favored, which Dave pointed out. If they win this, I think we, it escalates the conversation of like, oh, they're not. Don't close that coffin yet. They're a little bit more alive. They win out. They win out in 100%. They win this game. What Bosco is trying to say is if they win this game, when they play Georgia in two weeks at Georgia, that's a big game. Yeah, I have something to say. I'm not going to say it because I don't want to reignite this. So let's move on. Go ahead and say, go ahead. No, I, a different way to look at it. If they beat Vandy, they could theoretically lose to Georgia beat A and M and still go. Yeah, that's what he's saying. I first thought he said it was like, no, they could lose the Vandy and still go. I don't think the three, I think it's interesting. He was going in. I also don't think that we, the hypotheticals before the hypotheticals are always, do we go on? I don't want to talk to him. Let's let this game play out. They clearly, they control their own destiny. Bosco will be looking at a schedule in like early October being like, hey, listen, if they lose the next two games, they're still got a chance. Okay, Florida, Georgia, in Jacksonville, Georgia. Georgia minus seven over under 50 and a half basketball. Start with you dogs, Georgia, Georgia. I like that Stockton's not going to turn over 10 touchdowns. One interception and lagway's got nine TDs, nine picks. I just trust I trust Georgia here. I really do. I know everybody keeps being like, Georgia's not Georgia. I kind of like Georgia. I think Georgia takes it kind of seven and a half. I think they win relatively handily. Dave. I'm going to take Florida, I'm taking them a bunch. I'm not sold in Georgia. I think Georgia wins the game, but I'm not going to bet this game in real life, but I'll take the points here at cocktail party, keep it close, but no strong opinion. Yeah, I'm going to take Florida here minus seven. I don't know. What happens if what? Who's the who's the interim for Florida right now? Is he fat? I don't think so, is that just wild guess? Yeah. I think the I think a fat in terms had their period, Billy Gonzalez, okay, I think they've moved, we've moved away from fat and so that's one of those things, or you, yeah, not fat. Good, but that was a coin flip for you, Bosco, definitely a coin flip. Big time. You had no idea who it was. Yeah, I just hoping you were right. Yeah. Yeah. I know he's not fat. Now what if Florida wins out? No. Shut up. Okay. Okay. Next game, uh, let's take it to fall. I take it to far, since he had Tennessee, er, sorry, since it Utah night game. What am I missing on this spread? Yeah. I. I kind of want to take Utah because it makes no sense. Nine and a half. So an injury like, yeah, but this Utah's in grants, they smashed Colorado, but Utah, I mean, they haven't looked great. It's since he's good. I know. I know. I know. So that I'm putting my hand right into, right into the Mausra. I'm taking Cincinnati, but this line was alarmingly large, impossible to love it. I'm taking since he, but it is a strange line. Yeah. No, I had the same reaction. I was like, what is going on here? This looks like the easiest money ever to go take since he and I was like, all right, I guess I have to take Utah. Yeah. I'm sticking with it. I am going to bet it, but it'll be a one unit play. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, I know Damp here didn't play last week against Colorado, but that's not even with a thing. Just a night game. You know, it is worth a lot, but still, is there an injury remissing on Cincinnati? That's what I was thinking. Pull it up based on quarterback. Yeah. Well, team, the whole entire office line, Evan Pryor is a running back. Let's see what he's done. No, Cincinnati's got one guy I'm seeing on the strange people talking about them as a playoff to strain their, I mean, they're good. They're only losses to Nebraska week one. He's there's not third, third running back, terms of attempts in yards. Well, he leads the team in yards actually, but he's out. Third. Not though. That's not a game changer. No, they got two other guys who interchange like the kid Walker's got four touchdowns, four 66 yards. Sores, he's got seven touchdowns, four 25 kid priors got 478, three head, three headed, three headed monster. Well, I mean, two headed monster running back. You're right. Actually, yeah, you keep saying sores, he's like, yeah, yeah, Jack, you got numbers. Yeah, we're up 45% this year based on what platform? Uh, YouTube and then 26% with audio and YouTube. All right. It's according to the bar school data team. What's the furrowed brow? I know the furrowed brow. Wait. Did you just combine those two numbers? Did I? No, did Rico already access to the audience that Rico's rider who's pulling the data team is or data is forgetting episode zero from last year. Oh, well, then, no, then, then, then, then you divide by averages, I'm just going off with the data team. That's true. So, so 20, 20 averages, what I'm seeing is 2025 so far, 1.45 million views, 2024, 1767. So we've almost hit all of last year in terms of total views on YouTube with one less episode. Jack, in terms of zero, I would trust our data team over you every day of the week. Okay. Well, and it doesn't lie average episode, average per put the numbers in the itself sheet. You fucking sum, you dragon sum, you dummy, who actually entered the numbers? I entered the numbers based off a screenshot of YouTube, the YouTube doesn't lie. Average last year, 98,000 this year, 166,000 per were up almost double. There's no way you put together this spreadsheet. Okay. There's no chance. Hank, you want to look at this and like see some of these fucking numbers? Hey, hey. How about average, how about average, how about average, all per episode, 63,750 share me on a doctorate. Jack, he'll look at it while we keep going through the cards share me and me, and me. I just sent it to you, Hank, and me, this is a screenshot. It's an Excel. How could it be wrong? He kind of reminds me of like a few good men, how, how, when he just yells, Hank for like help, hey, hey, oh, man, damn 2023, we were popping. Also Rico, the, the numbers like you can't, I would down for 2023, no, no, we're up 10,000 per episode, we're up 10,000 per episode, no, 23, we're slightly up, we're up from 23. So we're back to the median. The last year just, the last year was just terrible. So we're, yeah, so this is like, this would be like somebody using like attendance, like this year versus COVID year, it's like, well, our attendance is up like a hundred percent from COVID. It's like what people weren't in. So Bosco's using last year, which was a down year. You missed, yeah. What? What? Dave missed an episode last year too, that probably hurt us. I can't if it's Steve had a feeling. So that went down an episode, but that's what we should be bait. This is you making argument, not for your team, you're doing the, you're doing the numbers for your own contract and your own, like you're, I'm not, no, I'm not asking you the numbers. I'm tracking it as a team, but you're doing the, but you're doing the numbers for Bosco. You shouldn't be one year, year over year, I don't think you can do that. I think you got to go like year over year over year over year, where are we from four years ago? Way up. Bosco, you see what I'm saying? You can't, you can't be like, I'm doing an excel sheet for myself to flex how my numbers are up, but Dave wasn't here for an episode. So that hurts us. Three, man, we, I mean, yeah, but that's not. Is it three man, why did you start the number sheet? Because I care about winning, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I want to see where he cares about winning. We just want to win on another sheet, there's, yeah, I mean, you always, you chase your goal. We're just trying to win here. The next tab is, we win it. The next tab is part of my take and we catch them. You have a tab on part of my tape, maybe, yeah, I mean, it's the goal, like, can we catch them, you know, shoe for the stars, shoe for the stars, the worst you do, you fall, you miss, get a couple of scrapes and land in this clouds or something, however, right? Okay. What do you got? Utah, Sinsi. Utah. Okay. Utah. Staffer riders, ad night, like spreads tells me something it's gotta be, it's gotta be Utah. And then watch out, too, because I know they got the two conference losses, but we hadn't, I'm hoping we're heading for a holy war in the big 12 championship. I know we need a lot of breaks that way, but imagine that BYU Utah rematch for the big 12. That would be a lot of fun. I love it. Okay. Last game. Very excited for this game, actually, because it is kind of, uh, this is one of the first of the elimination games in terms of the playoffs, although basketball, you might have a different take. You might say that both these teams will be alive after a loss here, Oklahoma at Tennessee. Tonight game, Tennessee's minus three over five six and a half, Tennessee's going dark mode activated. They're wearing. I actually don't like the jerseys they're wearing. Do you just, they're black ones? Yeah. Wait. Are they black or the gray ones? I don't like the gray ones. I don't like either of them. I like the black a little bit more than the gray. I agree. I like. I think Tennessee has one of those classic uniform schools that like you shouldn't mess with it. But, um, let's see, dark mode. What do you got, Bosco? I like the under. I know that's scary with Tennessee, but I like the under I trust Oklahoma's defense. I like the under. Okay. Yeah, they're the black jerseys under 57 and a half. Dave, what do you got? I'm taking Tennessee. I don't love it. I'm not going to bet it, uh, but I will take the home team and not so obvious Oklahoma. I kind of like the over, but I'm just going to stick with Tennessee. Okay. I am going to go the over here. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. I just don't know how, uh, I don't think Oklahoma's defense is as good as advertising. I think they played some bad quarterbacks. That was all my whole reasoning for doing Ole Miss last week. I like to Ole Miss last week. I thought that was, uh, a good test and, uh, yeah, over 56 and a half. Okay. Do we have, do we have any update on the numbers, Jack? Uh, send over Rico's sheet to the data team. They're breaking it down. Okay. Great. Awesome. Um, Bosco, what? We're up. No matter what, we're up from last year. Yeah. And three years ago, but last year just sucked. I think we came to play. You can't control who's in the stands. I think we, we came every week to try to win. Oh, no. Oh, I guess in the stands is watching that. Can't control us in the stands. Nope. And we're up progress. Yeah. We're no matter what. It's up and up. We're fucking dominating. Great. Yeah. Everybody eats everybody. Being lucky, you should be meet the new lucky one sweet tea from Miss Peaches. The vodka drink that's positively doing good, made with real tea and real vodka, non-carbonated, the hundred calories. And here's the scoop. Their new sweet tea is the only bucket 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 rescue dogs find their forever homes as they work to a goal of donating $1 million to dog rescues in 2026. So if you love true sweet tea, this one's a no-brainer. Pick up a lucky one sweet tea today and give back one can at a time. Okay. Boss, will you under your card? Yeah. So whatever I gave and then very, very small, which I know is, you know, you can't win, but I'm I'm gonna make up some ground. I'm just trying to improve with the winners. I'm trying to improve with the winners. I can't get the Pat Hill. I can't. And you've got to like what you like. 42% in a win here. Let's go. You got fucking weeks left. You got pole season. You can't quit on the Pat Hill. Not quitting. It's just I'm trying to get, you know, trying to give the people winners as well. It'd be way nicer to have a four and a week, six or a week. Then yeah, you said you can't win the Pat Hill. That's quitting. Not quitting. It's it's going to be very difficult to win the Pat Hill. I will try. It's going to be very difficult mindset mindset. SMU plus 12 and a half against Miami. K state plus seven and a half against Texas Tech. Watch out. They go in the game outright in Manhattan. Wake Forest plus the nine and a half. State pen team total under Ohio State minus 20 and a half. Ohio State first half 10 and a half. Utah minus the nine and a half Oklahoma Tennessee under 57 and a half and then Vandy plus the two and a half. And then I have a best bet. Is your best bet Houston? Nah, Georgia. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'll do my card real quick. I also like what was the SMU line is 12 and a half. Yeah, what I saw. Yeah. I like SMU 12 and a half. I have Texas or the things you already said. I have San Diego State minus 10 and a half. Sean Lewis. I'm actually hoping that the Badgers hire him. He's awesome. Former Badger. Marshall coastal Carolina over 55 and a half. And then I'll save my mortal. I also have Georgia Tech minus five and a half. Like Haynes. King just keeps winning games. He's he just finds a way to win games. That's what they do. They just win games. Dave, what's your card? Small too. North Carolina plus two and a half Syracuse estimate tonight. North Carolina has turned the corner. Bella check has them playing way better. They have nothing to show for the last two weeks. Over time lost to Virginia. He went for two and then they fumbled going into win the game against Cal at Cal. They're going to beat Syracuse get the win. Vandy plus two and a half. Texas. This line was a little surprising to me. Arizona State plus seven and a half at Iowa State is the quarterback. Okay. It's out for Arizona State. I will cross that off. That makes sense why that line was that. Kansas State. I agree with Rico plus seven and a half at home against Texas Tech. I think I could win the game. I'm going to go back to Mississippi State. I just don't think Arkansas should be favored versus anybody in the SEC by four and a half points. Mississippi State got their guts ripped out. I think they keep this close and then since the nine and a half really short card. Yeah. I don't love the board. I'll probably have some ads. Do you expect another bomb day or are you sitting like you're waiting? Yes. I do. I haven't given out my mortal yet. So I am in the air with my mortal right now. Because it was going to Kansas State. But you hit that one the way I like. I think they can win that. That's an outrageous line to me. It was that or North Carolina. I haven't decided. If it helps Ebo's play of the week is Kansas State. Put that on my card. Wow. I don't know that that helps. I like I respect Ebo. Obviously, it's very good. He won last year, right? But you can't win every single week. Can you? It's like there's a craps or roll. I feel like I'm getting in now. But that was going to be it. That game is stunning. That's spread to me. In it, there are another team. They started so poorly, but they have definitely turned her at fuck it. 100 star play Kansas State. Emo. There we go, Davey. All right, my my mortal, by the way, is going to be Tennessee minus three. I just want to have a big game feel. I do think the Tennessee, I think Oklahoma's defense is not as good as advertised. And I think Tennessee's offense, best unit on the field. I just I don't think material is fully healthy. It sucks. His season has been. It sucks that that happened to him. I just don't think he's fully healthy. So I think it's going to be one of those games. Tennessee at night, elimination game, Brent Venables, maybe on the way out, although Oklahoma, what the hell they're going to do if they fire Brent Venables. Hank, what's your mortal? Vandy. Vandy. Oh, wow, super. I got Maryland plus 21 and a half against Indiana. You're running into it. Yep. I'll take the over in IU, Maryland and obviously Ebo's K state plus seven. Okay. And Dave, you're you're you're good on K state. Yep. K state. Okay. Anything else? Did you get any of the numbers back? Yeah, our dad, a team said I have the same numbers. He's wrong. His math is wrong. Okay. Can't argue the numbers. That's what he do. Hey, numbers of the numbers. The good news is whatever the numbers are, you're we're up either way. We're winning. It's just how much we're up. It's just Jackie trying to keep you down. Wrong. Just accurate. He's trying to keep you wrong. He's trying to keep you down. Okay, let's keep winning. Let's complain to win. Go look at the breeders. You going to be tweeting plays? Yeah, I'm not going to the breeders, but well, good luck. Yeah, uh, yeah, we will. Ellie, I'm going to show I got to get the form and figure out I got to do the show with bear in a couple hours. Now he's heard he's a horse guy. Yep. Yeah. Okay. All right. See you guys. All right.
