Rico Ghosts Clients At Crucial Meeting | PICK EM - Week 10

The episode blends promotional content for Chevrolet vehicles—the Equinox and Silverado—with a deep dive into live sports betting through DraftKings. The Equinox is presented as a practical, stylish daily driver with ample space and smart tech, while the Silverado is positioned as a powerful, reliable work vehicle ideal for heavy-duty tasks. The show shifts to a sports betting segment, highlighting DraftKings as a leading live betting platform with a special promotion for new users: bet $5 and win $300 in bonus bets if the bet wins. The promotion includes a limited-time code ("Pick") and strong emphasis on responsible gambling. The discussion also touches on the show’s growing audience, citing a 62.44% increase in viewership compared to the previous year, with data from YouTube and audio platforms showing strong growth. A notable moment involves a team member missing a key client meeting, leading to a discussion about accountability, planning, and the importance of showing up—echoed in the recurring mantra "step up, fuck up" as a lesson in risk and growth. The episode concludes with a light-hearted tone, referencing sports, team dynamics, and personal growth, while maintaining a professional promotional framework.

Week 10 bar stool pick. Dave's house is like grand central. Your house is like grand central. How many people are in your house in a given day? There's not a lot now but it my office is open so it's I don't have doors so if someone's doing the dishes in the other room it's in my year. That's the design look flaw. You got to 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 we're 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 we it's week 10 we are in a heated race day view and I you're at 52% I'm 51.2% Rico you're at 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 I'm doing great. Yeah. I'm doing great. I want one my hundred star plays start hitting and even my 50 star plays. I feel good I have an M in my account right now in draft games. 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 then 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. No. 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. Yeah. They can pay that out. Anyway big game hunting on Oregon over 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. He didn't buy it. It was moving back and forth as it turns out by Friday 37 and a half was where it was at. Yeah. Yeah. 3 and a half was when I went to draft things 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 thing because that that obviously indicates that you don't love love it. Right. Buy points is never the way to go over the long haul. Never. Never. Football numbers matter. You saw that with Northwestern. I'm just saying but football numbers met football numbers matter though. And I didn't buy anything. Granted. But if you if it's that big and it could get close and not leaving it up to now you're wrong because if that comes into matter, let's say seven and a half, eight, eight, seven and a half, three. If you're buying those points, first of all, I think those points when I 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. And I'll do it every time. I don't do it every time. Well, 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 crazier. I think he does it in basketball. He definitely does it in basketball. No. 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 cash and out. Yeah. You want to you're there. But then like you look at it's 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 we go you how often you buy points hardly ever. I mean, you know, 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 and I said it. According to you, that's not a like if you're betting it, that's not a, like you're not betting to win by hat net brands that I did in Northwestern, even though like it kind of was what I thought. Like I think Northwestern go to win 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 I, 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. Yes. 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, just wrong, wrong side. And it makes it even worse through 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. Got to go big to lose. That's a good saying. You don't want to go. You guys if you go big, you can't 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 want to lose a lot of money today, we got to bet a lot of money. And it was like a free bet kind of was like it really stepped up. You took, you took your winnings and pushed it. It happens. It happens. - Yeah, it's a fucking. a ton of people in the third quarter and in fourth quarter. That's a fire thing. If there's a the ton of people in the third or fourth quarter, like, obviously, we saw the outcome. Decade, like, what do you want me to do? What was your wager before the game? No, I agree with you. 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. Yes, 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 cliché. The Bosco cliché show. He's just hitting it right now. I'm just saying, like, and that didn't even, that wasn't even like, you didn't even get there with that one. What was at first, he's don't keep you down for a long time. But it's a get a tattoo. They used to keep me down forever. No, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like the 75% cliché 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 that none of them have been real clichés yet. Step up the fuck up. Yeah. Okay, what else is going on? How is, how is, oh, how are 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 talk to a bunch of people we got. I heard about that. I heard about that. Hmm. What? That you missed your client. Right. Okay. What was. I don't know. I was going to talk about it off the air. To you. I didn't think it was on air. I'm maturing. Oh, wow. 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, 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. It did 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. Yeah. All right. Won't yeah. All right. This is David. What time to the up front? Sorry. What time do you get there? I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. 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. Yeah. If you don't try it, 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, you was trying. He was trying. But say, maybe you 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. It's tough to explain. We can get out of this one Bosco. No, it's 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 busting your balls. No, it's, 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, no apology, like note or like, 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, they're, before they're going to commit big dollars, it's like we're going to meet Dave, we're going to see what he's about. If, all right, so Dave, if the upfront six to ten 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 gangs, gal, high noon, 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 down, and it's not like it at all. It's made, it's not like the, the, uh, barato, barato bridge was shut down or something. When he, when he missed the funeral, it's not like that. Yeah, right. It was a misalignment of priorities. What'd 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, living, learning, you know, I'm going to try salvage this thing. I got some connections over there. Maybe, 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. I had fucked up. Yeah. What's going through your head right now, Bosco? His mad. Oh, is he? Oh, you mad at Hank? I mean, I don't tell anyone. I'm not mad at anybody. This is on 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 the 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 plane house calls. Probably the thing that you could have said, hey, we don't, we don't have to do this because there isn't like every day, every hour, 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? Me and Jerry. And anyone else? Uh, 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. When I heard they didn't meet Bosco, I was like, what? I could be fine. Bosco. I'm work, I'm working double time to smooth it over. Okay. I think it'll be fine. We need you to come in. Maybe we set up a future meet and greet go to Luke or something. I don't know. 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. Should it interact and you trying to drag into this or like, you know, whatever, all the contract is like, I got a fucking plan. Should have been sticking to it. Dan 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. That's 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 because 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.

I got a report on how shows are doing. They're raven about pick them. Really? 62.444% over last year. Well, I didn't see those numbers, but that's great. I got a spreadsheet. Let me share. I feel like that. Sure. Let's see. Well, let's go. Who sent this red sheet? It's it's calculated myself. What? It's great YouTube. I don't have access to the back end, but you look at YouTube. It's public. Oh, so you're 0.44. 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, right. Jack's doing to read Jackie. Jackie's loving this. Is someone leaked that you weren't at the up front? 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 he, you know, he talks more because I do. I have an inside source. Inside source. Is it so that you talk to your inside source where the Rico does? Oh, yeah. Yes. Accurately. Yes. We can keep it that way. Yes. 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? Neutral. It's just the inside source. I've heard the inside source on conference calls fighting for Bosco. And then more Bosco, more Bosco. And the inside source of 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 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, like not right now. Like, like, like, like, like, like, don't talk over here. That's tough. That's, that's the tough one. And I mean, I almost had you going. You. He did. He did. He did. He almost, he jay almost, he jay almost chariot caught me. Yeah. All right. Yeah. We'll 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's good at math 62% seems high, but I don't know the numbers of 60% 2% from last year or 62%. Okay. That's awesome. What happened last year? I don't know. There was a dip like in the middle. It depends where people want to want to view. Yeah. They want like a little bit of minus 2 1/2. Right. Who comes up with this studio? By the way, that plant is outrageous. Just sitting like a lone plant. Like, oh, let's doll this studio up. Dave. Or you put a loan. Don't complain about the office. A lone plant. Some nice lighting in there. Yeah. I don't know who that was. That was an outrageous clip. I would like somewhere that isn't a nice box all the time. I like that somewhere. Natural light. Where? Natural light. And can I say something else for a media company? It would be really nice to have a room you could record in with lighting. 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. Bosco, you got people under control there. I don't understand what they're talking about. Your studio seems like it's right now. It's like 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. I was asking if you're completely free of it. Are you? That's 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 and we're going back and he's like, all right, listen, listen, there was no way to go. There was a there was a rift 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're both that's what he said. Petitive edge Dave said it to like it was a rift in the locker room, but it's to get better. It's not like, oh, you know, Jetsky, like I, you know, you fucking all these people do this and fucking can't believe that. Like it's I'm driving my car and I'm 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. Need this done? Yeah, bang it out. No problem. Draft King's 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. Oh, fucking Dave doesn't like me. I can call my wife. You believe me? Shit. No. Okay. How can I be a part of that winning team? Yeah. 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. You know, fucking say it too. I did. You don't have to score 20 to win a fucking champion. Vance. Vance fields. Look at him. Biggies. 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 because I truthfully like there's it's shit that backs up. There's no like it. You listen. If I was calling 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, man. No, I think to the point working last Wednesday, dial dial. You need you need a boss goes pyramid of success. The way you're going here, like the plan, like, yeah, and it's yeah, point plan to success, die playing to get better. Step up the fuck up. Put him on a shirt. If you can't, if you don't go huge, you can't lose huge. We're doing it. So a jack's a jack's a big critic. Jack, where do you think that? I mean, like, I think you've actually been mentally wants the cameras are not rolling like that's a whole other fucking story. But I've decided to channel all that energy to like a bunch of everything's a bunch of his 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. I got to get Geiko. We got to talk to Geiko. 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. I don't have a complaint. I don't complain. The summer time we don't complain. Yeah. You just don't complain to me and Dave anymore. I don't think I can complain to Jackie. No, not me. I would say like maybe JJ, but do you complain to Jerry? But Jerry, that's like a therapy session. They're they're going back and forth. JJ is a big complaint 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.

Yeah, just around a big group like fuck everybody's session. That was a tough clip. That was you've got to keep. I do shit with Jerry. You got to keep Jerry. Like I got to check your smelly are getting rave reviews for shuttin their malls during that. Oh, 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 I 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. Yeah, 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, hold on, I think you're like, I'm not Bosco, listen, I think this Max, I think this Max guy has like a Google like, he's got the TV monitor up and he's just feeding Rico. What was that last one? You give me a second, I, this one's a new one, this one's a new one, I'm crafting it, you, you sound like your limitations are only, your limitations are only, you jailing Hertz guy, you sound, no, he's not jailing Hertz, it sounds like someone 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, he's, how's, how's Bosco doing eyes, okay, but, you know, none of his cliches make any sense anymore, they all kind of have limitations, I don't, all right, we'll get back to the games in a second. Let me tell you about our friends at roe.co, this edit sponsored by roe. Roe Sparks are two in one prescription treatment for stronger, harder erections, they hit the bloodstream faster because they dissolve under the tongue and getting hard faster means having more sex after they dissolve, they work in 15 minutes on average, Roe Sparks can give guys thicker, longer erections, then you usually have because they get fuller, Roe Sparks give you the boost to last longer, so it's more fun for you both, Roe stays active in your system up to 36 hours, so you can go back to back, round after round, be ready the morning after.

Roe Sparks are right for you, that's roe.co/pick for $15 off your first order, always. Give it a try, I guess like your limitations are only how you want to perceive them or treat them, 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, let's talk. No scratch from the classic. Oh, that sucks. Mo Hicks had them fucking, hey, roll up your shorts, and we're going to play. Sovereign DJ's scratch from the clen nobody cares about. I did. I said that sucks. That sucks. I said Mo Hicks. Mo Hicks are great coach. Mo Hicks. Wait, who's who's Mo Hicks coach that right now? I feel like I got in a car, Campbell Walker, Campbell Walker's high school coach. Good guy. Yeah, who's the favorite now? What's going on? Yeah, probably fierceness or or the foreign horse there that was I hate. I was going to talk to you with six to five. I'm so over four and horses. That Japanese horse is going to win the Derby and eventually and I'm going to be on one. I'll bet a four, I'll bet a four and horse on grass. I just so over them in the big races. No, that'll be okay. Okay. It's going to be so great when they finally have like printing. 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. Oh, I heard he's a horse guy. Yeah, is it life is. What is? Did you get the wherever young? What? I'm trying to think the foreign horse. What did you get? Where did you land on that cliche there, Costco? Did you find your way through it? Yeah, I don't really have it. Mac workshop it. See what you can do. But no, it's just like the same thing. Like, oh, we got a small gym. Like don't like whatever. I don't know. Made more sense of my head. Yeah. I think something's up here. I mean, 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. Again, I'm working on it. But I 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 you, Bosco. That sucks. We do got to get you out here, Bosco. Yeah, it would be, you know, this is your lecture time. You're here. Situation is getting a little bit better. So day by all state, we should get all state on board, right? Yep. Okay, any thoughts about the openings, college football, then what we can do the cards and forever. Forever young. That's the name of the Japanese source. But that sucks. That really ruins that race. I'm excited for that. Fuck. The curse of the cause. Yeah, I don't know they say sovereignty is like. What is like an athlete best availability is availability. He didn't run in the precness. They rest of them. Now he's sick for the classic. Yeah, he's like, why Leonard? You got to play. 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, 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 the floor and, Sala, 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. Like he's just, yeah, he's a weird guy. So 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 just not true. You just got more sports to talk about. Right. But I'm like, this is our last fully focused. Like we're going to, 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, five, 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 going to hate it. I think it's good value. I like Gonzaga. And I like Oregon at 100 to one. They got two guys in the top 100 players. It's Dana Altman. I kind of like, I like talking about, I'm talking about Michigan. Michigan's really good. You said they were down a little bit. Yeah, it's actually 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 us. They're going to be top five preseason. They just weren't. I'm not talking about their. They're in the mix though. They're like teens. There's nothing better than Feast week. I'm excited. Yeah, Feast week. It's weird though. Now the players there are shit has shifted away from like the Maui and stuff. That's become the big thing out Vegas because they get paid. But yeah, we'll see. Yeah. I mean, Alabama St. John's in a couple of weeks. I'll be there next Saturday. Is it? Oh, yeah, is that the one? Are you sitting with Ripoli? No, I don't think so. All that talk that was an entire dinner that we talked about. 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. Hey, pick them listeners. 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. And the viral Dylan dress is easy, one and done perfection. But my fall uniform will always be done up here with a Henley sweater, a raw free top. It's comfortable effortless. It just never fails. Find your fall capsule at Abercrombie shop in the app online and in stores. All right. Now back to the episode. 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. Yeah, because it was, you know, Penn State was 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 not not the same amount of huge matchups. But we do have some big ones. Well, I put on Penn State Ohio State because Dave, you're going. You'll be there. Yeah. 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 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 drunk is on big noon kickoff. Like they booked him before the season. Like it is 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 have them that Penn State can go from a national title pick to this bad. But here we are. uh, I'll take the buck as they look great. I was 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 back 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 playoffs. Well, Michigan, if they beat Michigan beats all out of state, they're going to playoffs. They take care. They should take care of business getting to that game, Dan. Yeah. I mean, Maryland at Maryland. Maryland at Maryland. No, they don't have. 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 to still. I'm looking right now. Minnesota, maybe at Northwestern. Is it rigley? That's a tricky one. I think rigley helps. That's a tricky one, though. Yeah, but I can get out Northwest, Northwestern has been. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No Northwestern. Yeah. Well, listen, if you can't beat Northwestern, yeah, 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 win out Ohio state. And we're going to keep improving. And if they keep improving, like I wasn't overly impressed with them at Michigan State. But again, that's where I'll regain. 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 going to take Ohio state in this game. I agree with you. I, Julian saying just makes me nervous. Like that's the years past. 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 in this? 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 a triple play 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. Wait, did you have Ohio state first half in 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 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. 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. I'll plan. Obviously, actually kind of outplayed Vandy like, yeah, and Pavia talking like he deserved the Heisman after that game. It's the defense that one of 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 gonna 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 a 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 a, 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 is 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 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, well, I'm, 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 an 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 an 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 pretty good, 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 the flow, 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 your, your 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, see, that's what I'm saying. I said it on Pixel and Eve 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, you know, people being like, oh, 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 a 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, they, yeah, that's the other part of it. Dan, they are favorite in this game. Well, I said that. I said that right. Well, so when I say something, you could the other part of it, you don't, right? Well, you highlighted it. You definitely highlighted it. But yeah, can we wait to have this conversation? No, till 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 what, who we talking about? Vandy or Czech? No, I'm saying it all. It matters about the Vandy game. Like, Vandy is the first stop here. You're saying if they lose this and went out, they can still get in. Can we have that to wait? 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 got to let them 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 if 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 guy. 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, cheer up. You got the opportunities. They're coming. And you're favored in this one. So it starts and of course in the race in Texas. But I'm just, of course, if they went out, they're in. But if they lose this game or they are, they definitely out 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, if it escalates the conversation of like, oh, they're not, don't close that coffin yet. They're going to be more law, if they win out in a hundred percent, 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, 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 can lose the Vandy and still go. I don't think the three laws, I think it's interesting, he was going in. I also don't think that we, the hypotheticals before the hypotheticals are always there. We go on, I don't want to talk to us, but what does this game play out? They're 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 minus seven over under 50 and a half. Bosco, I'll 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 think Florida, I'm taking them a bunch. I'm not solo 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 in. Yeah. So that's one of those things where 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, just hoping you were right. Yeah, I know he's not fat. Now what if Florida wins out? No, shut up, Dan. Okay, next game, next game, uh, let's take it to fall. I take it too 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 sense. Nine and a half. I think it's an injury right now. Yeah, but this Utah, it's in grins. They smashed Colorado, but Utah, I mean, they haven't looked great. And since he's good, I know. I know 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 Sensei, 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 Sensei. 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, we didn't play last week against Colorado, but that's not even with just a night game. I thought it is worth a lot. Yeah, but still, is there an injury remissing on Cincinnati bus? That's what I was thinking. Pull it up based on quarter back. Yeah, like the whole team, the whole entire off the line. Evan Pryor is running back. Let's see what he's done. No, since today's got one guy I'm seeing on the strange people talking about them as a playoff to string. They're, I mean, they're good. They're only losses to Nebraska week one. He's their third, third running back, terms of attempts in yards. Well, he leads the team in yards, actually, but he's out. Third, that's not all 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 B's got seven touchdowns, four 25. Kid Pryor's got four 78 and three touchdowns. Sores B's. So three headed, yeah, three headed, uh, three headed monster. Well, I mean, two headed monster running backs. You're right, actually, yeah, you keep saying sores B's like, yeah, 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, according to the bar still data team. What's the furrowed brow? I know that for a brown weight. Did you just combine those two numbers? Did I know did Rico? Are you not an 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 you divide by averages. I'm just going off with the data team says so, 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, I would trust our data team over you every day of the week. Okay, all right. This is Excel and it doesn't lie average episode. Put the numbers in the until she you fucking some you drag and some you dummy who actually entered the numbers. I entered the numbers based off a screenshot of YouTube, though, the YouTube doesn't have average last year, 98,000 this year, 166,000 per. We're 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? Share me how about average, how about average, how about average all per episode, 63,000, 7,500 share me on the dark right now, 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. It's 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, 10, 2023, we were popping. Also, Rico, the numbers like you can't. I would down for 2023, no, 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. So last year, just, last year was just terrible. So 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 100% from COVID. It's like what people weren't in. So boss was using last year, which was a down year. You missed, yeah, I'm not gonna say what Dave missed an episode last year, too, that probably hurt us. Stanford Steve had a fill in. 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, you're doing the, you're doing the numbers for your own contract in your own. Like you're, I'm not, no, I'm not asking you the numbers. Dave's on track and get as a team, but you're doing the team, but you're doing the numbers for Bosco. So you shouldn't be, no, I don't think you can use 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. Yeah. Where are we from four years ago? Way up, where are we? 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, 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 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're winning. 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? It's you know, shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars. Where should you do? You fall, you miss, get a couple of scrapes and land in this clouds or something. However, yeah, right. Okay. What do you got? Utah, Sensei Utah. Okay, Utah staffer riders at 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 are we heading? 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 point. 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 playoff. Although, Basque, you might have a different take. You might say that both these teams will be alive after a loss here. Oklahoma at Tennessee. It's a night game. Tennessee's minus three overruners, 56 and a half. Tennessee's going dark mode activated. They're wearing, I actually don't like the jerseys they're wearing. I, I, 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 to 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, Basque? 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. Not going to bet it. Uh, but I will take the home team and not so obvious. Oklahoma. I kind of like the over. 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, I don't think Oklahoma's defense is as good as advertising. They played some bad quarterback. That was all my whole reasoning for doing Ole Miss last week. I like to Ole Miss last week. I thought that was 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, I send over Rico's sheet to the data team. They're breaking it down. Okay. Great. Awesome. Um, Basque, 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 came every week to try to win. We ran away. Oh, I guess in the stands is watching that. Can't control is in the stands. No. We're up progress. Yeah, we're away 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.

Pick up a lucky one sweet tea today and give back one can at a time. All right. Okay. Possible. You want to do 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 going to make up some ground. I'm just trying to improve with the winners. I'm trying to improve the winners. I can't get the Pat Hill. I can't. And you've got to like 42% down to 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 down, 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 than 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 higher him. He's awesome for 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'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 night. North Carolina has turned the corner. Belicec 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 a 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. 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 he's very good. He won last year, right? But you can't win every single week. It's like there's a craps roll. I feel like I'm getting in now. But that was going to be it. That game is stunning. That spreads to me. And there are another team. They started so poorly, but they have definitely turned her at fuck it. 100 star play Kansas State. Whoa. Emo, Dave. Emo, 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. Hmm. 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 you're good on K state. Yep. K state. Okay. Anything else? Did you get any of the numbers back? Yeah. Our data 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. I hate 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 keep trying to keep you down. Okay. Let's keep winning. Let's complain to win. Go look at the breeders. Are you going to be tweeting plays? Yeah. I'm not going to the breeders, but well, good luck. Yeah. Yeah. We will. Elliott, I'm going to show. I got to get the form and figure out I got to do this show with Bear in a couple of hours.
