Going into week six feels like we starting to know some more shit. How are we feeling? I will say I won. I did bet the pick and parlay, the normal one. Not a huge bet in my scheme, but I haven't won anything and I won it, so that was nice. Yeah, that was nice. I had that over that Arkansas Notre Dame over for a while. That was easy. Needed that bad. You saw state was a backdoor last second touchdown, so that saved it. And then what was the third one? Oregon, yeah, yeah, which is a great pick, Bosco. Do you have anything to say for a former writer, Henry Lockwood? No, Rico. Rico is white. Rico. Rico. Oh, if you had anything to say to you, sorry. It just would have been so much fun, Hank, to play the villain. You go in there, fucking quack and in Mac, like you and Max are fucking Yang and Yang, like you would have been able to throw it in his face, which you love doing. I don't, I don't know. I know he's, you know, he's your guy now, but like, I was your guy forever. It would have been a good one to play the villain. Yeah, you know, you're right. You were right. You were, you were dead right. It was, uh, it was a good atmosphere. It is a bit of a cult, but I wish I was, I wish I was on the ducks. Yeah, stay pen for a reason. I'm having a passionate passionate passionate fans. Yeah, when I went to flight, you were just dead, you just missed. Yeah, I just woke up too late. Yeah, yeah, that was tough. He missed a flight, David. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, it's a, hey, listen, he owned it. The tweet where he was just like for all the people saying, I'm childish and immature, you're right. What are you going to do? He got me on that one. Yeah, it's, be rabbit. I am white, I am dumb. Yeah. Do live in a trailer with my mom. Um, by the way, I got a funny anecdote. So the, it play out baseballs here. Uh, very fun. I was at the Cubs game on, uh, so we're taping this on Wednesday. I'm, I'm going to go to game two, but I was at game one as well. And there was four stoolies sitting in front of me. And like, you know, it was like maybe the second ending and they realized they like, recognize my voice. I took out Eddie and Titus. And so they're like, oh, like, what's up guys? And I was like, all right, here comes a question. They're like, we got one question for you. Like, like, just totally off the record. And I was like, what? And he just goes, how much of Bosco put on that parlay? I was like, you could ask me any question. That's what they wanted to know. I already were off the meds. Uh, yeah. Put you back on now. No, still off because there's a problem with them getting them or why aren't you on them? I don't think they're necessarily like the greatest. Uh, I ran, I was taking two. They upped it to two. I was taking two. I ran out of one and then I was calling. And then you're just like, I hate, it's like, I call and like, listen, I needed to call me back because you got to get on a zoom to get it. And then she don't call it. You lose track. So it's been a couple of weeks. So a lot of, a lot of balls bouncing up there. But trying to, yeah, because like, when you're on our meds, I mean, you're a, you're a true psychopath, right? Yeah. And I don't know if that's good or bad. It was great for the show last week. But like, you've lied before too about being on meds. No, I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm off. I'm out. It's been a couple of weeks. Yeah. Okay, well, good or bad. Or is that like a content? It's good till someone, something really horrific happens. Yeah. And there's a lot of pokers out there. There's a lot of pokers. So who's the number one poker? Uh, Dave's guy, Phil. Oh, meek is the number one poker? I have a big meet guy. I know. Yeah. No, he's a poker. He's a poker meek through up before the meds final game. Oh, that it was crazy. Yeah. We're just sitting in the cave. And he was just like, I got to go throw up. Just I don't know where. All right. So who says, is anyone else poking you? Has Jackie been poking you? Oh, that's his job. Yeah. I mean, I don't, you know, it's not, I don't crime like this inherent of the job. Like, that's what he's supposed to do. I'm not sitting there going on a poor me, but it is difficult to deal with. Like, I had some people from last week being like, you've really gotten soft because I let Jackie get off without saying exactly what he was doing when he was like, Oh, I got offered something like by who? By what? Like, what are you talking about? He's very vague. He just shut up and didn't really do it. But he should have had to declare exactly what boondoggle caused him to leave in the middle of college football NFL and leave his job to go to Germany. Yeah. He has a sugar daddy. It's got a sugar daddy. Oh, I didn't get offered anything. There was just, uh, he got, he's a sugar daddy. He said you had a great opportunity. No, it was just, uh, like they had a, who's that? The, this guy we know. The opportunity. Oh, Mr. Sugar daddy. He's got Mr. Opportunity is a great name. Who, who, who is this guy? He's got a sugar. The friend of ours in Chicago. It's not how you meet him. Just like, I'll let the bathroom stall. Yeah, what the friend of a friend? Yeah. And why does he do what, what, what made this such you? I put my foot in my mouth and I'm an idiot. Oh, he walked over fest. I know I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. So did this guy pay for everything? He had the whole setup. And no, he's still paid. He's still paid. He had the setup. That up. And what you have to do was, did you have to blow him? I am an idiot. I, how much was it? How much? What did you miss speak about? Because I said good opportunity. I was just saying that I was, I just am an idiot. I should not have said. All right. Well, so then speak correctly now. You, you know, Rico's love. Look at his face. I just got his face out of the corner right. Yeah. So why should you have said I should have just been like, I'm a fucking idiot and shouldn't have gone on this fucking. Oh, what? Explain the trip. Yeah, explain the whole time under the trip. So when did you see the outfit? You see the outfit, Dave? No, I didn't send us the outfits. Oh my god, you dressed up as the, you did the leader. Oh, I did do the leader. Oh my god. I didn't know that. I want to hear who this guy is. I want to hear who the trip is. I want it all. Wait, so when we were, so when we're fucking sitting in the cave, 12 hours into a Sunday, you're, you got leader Hosans on. I did have leader hose. You scumbag. Why are you protecting this guy? I don't, I'm not protecting him. He's just a friend of a friend. Like, he just had, who goes to Germany with a friend of a friend? No, we went with my friends, like, my friends, but I don't know this guy as well. So he's, they're friends with him closer. So like, I went with like, my boss. Oh my god, boss man, boss man, pick up the phone. Oh my god. You're such a piece of shit. Look at that picture, Dave. The glasses. What a fucking piece of shit. Thank you, Rico. That's a check. I know. I'm trying to stay in my lane, but you posted it. You dumb shit. I know. I know. I know. I know. What, so what are you saying? Like, uh, Rico, you funny. I know. I'm saying I understand. I understand. I understand. There's no part of you. Like, maybe it's not the season like you to take vacations to Germany. I thought that if if I only did it for two days, it wouldn't be as bad the week. But I like the way it was awards was I was well, it's not gonna make any sense. I'm an idiot. Why are you explaining? Did this have any like like so this in your mind and I'll find out this had nothing to do with barstool? I had nothing to do with barstool. No 100% swear on my life Meeting the guy had nothing to do with bars. No, it's a nice guy a stool. He's never brought up barstool to me in my life. I Swift your hair. What's left of it? What I'm confused by the sniffing. I'm asking if he snifed your hair. He is not stiff my hair. No Also, that was that was rude Rico. I know it's going away. So go ahead Go ahead with what give us a timeline Fluent Sunday No, when did it come when did you get the call being like hey October fest? We are this is a long time ago a long time ago I mean I have to go back and look I mean months months and we got time I mean it would have been in part it would have been in person that it when we were all hanging out somewhere. Okay Then they were trying to get me to go to Europe for a week. I was like I think that's a really They your friends are I just keep saying day my friends were trying to get me to go to Europe for a week the soda boys And then I was like I think that I don't think that would be good during football season and then I But did I literally went for 60 hours We can no it's just well. Yeah, it was Sunday 60 hours that more than two days. That's a crazy way to say three days and it was more than three days I honestly don't know what FS one would say if I'm like well I know we got a show and we signed this contract with you this deal But I think I'm just gonna fuck off to October fest and skip one of them like gold. Yeah, I 100% Stupid decision. I am retired retired for doing that ever again because yeah, you've done it multiple times, right? Yeah, you you got to go to October fest. I did and didn't you travel somewhere else like on Exec vacation or football season. That was the smack group. I did go. I did I was out of Africa trip What was that what was that? Smack Africa jack does do a very good job. He just really bad at planning his vacations It's home. I'm going anywhere in the summer. I am done. I am done. No one gives a fucking the summer True. Yeah What where you stand on the sink you don't have vacation chamber. I'm not a vacation chamber I don't think that the opportunity had anything to do with parcel. I will I will have jacks back there. Okay So it's just an opportunity, but a great opportunity is a great opportunity Which sounds like just his friends wanted him to go to October fest. Yeah, yeah, and this guy was gonna pay for some Harrison's yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense. I don't know what it is about Is it it looks like a good time to we have like we have like a sugar daddy culture at par stole It's weird Jerry had one Jack has one sugar. Rico has one like I don't have one NATO. It's oh Riggs has one rigs has one. Yeah, what is up with that tape? Yeah, they they like getting benefits. They're like You know in college where they go then now you can do anything, but they're like under the table benefits Yeah, friends of the benefit friends of the program. Yeah, okay, Rico.

I've watched Old you mean, yeah, no, yeah, no I'd be stunned if that's true. Dave. What do you mean? Okay, that's just like Annika called texting me be like hey game time Wants a sponsor fucking me and Nikki's pod whatever the fuck that is like can we get on the network? Well, a then we get sued for what Nikki says and be you think they give a fuck if they're on your pod or we're just Spreading it around Who but Rico you you said you said someone to me that was I haven't heard before Right, it was approached to me. It's not me running around. I just have a hard time feeling though I know how our sales people work that we've sold something for something that's never even aired Yeah, I think it's something we're building the relationship with a client. It seems like they like it So I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am, but I hope I'm wrong. All right I think it's a mutual friend of ours Dave too. Like it's continuing that relationship What now we're talking in code reportedly no Hair doctor. Oh It's what's told. I'm just waiting on the paperwork. Okay, so like yeah, I know how it works man like for all the you know You lower your head and neutral. Yes, you go out and fucking do it and at the end of the year you have something to stand on all right I love that you know the same thing with Hank fucking like you know there's no crying a Hank with different shit It's like hey Hank. I got an idea like you mind jumping on the phone five minutes like what's gonna help me with my career? There's no bullshit same with Dan like we go three months at a time without talking like We still tax well, no, it's not but it's not negative Dan, but it's like you let's use your time man like it's How you weaponize that against me by the way, I want to just get that on the record. No, I don't want you to I leave you alone, so like I should get credit for leaving you alone. No, it's not It's it's it's it's it's just not going back into the fucking Manhattan Beach All right, you're going you know what I don't know or when you know and then me hanging up and it's like here we go This is gonna set off a bad bad. You're right when he hung up that phone of the Hatton Beach Yeah, when you hung up the phone you were like, you know, I was saying yeah, yeah, you better fix it You better fix it and for the most part I've done a good job fixing it Every day's a battle. I don't have fucking meds, but every day's a battle But like it prompts a great opportunity like you laugh at your friends here like enjoy it do work and get it done I will say I will say I should clarify because it's not as good an opportunity then to go to October fest But it barsal is a good opportunity great. Yeah, we go to Zai you starting this show late, and do you have anything to do with Contract coming up See this is what this is this is where he can't fucking help himself and it's got your mother fucking culture, okay? Let's time out since you won't get since you know that's nobody asked a loaded fucking question And you fucking know it, okay? This is the boss both bosses here. Let's lay it out. Okay season starts February Oh January running through till football football still the bread and butter in this company Dave. Would you say yes? Okay, and then in March Jackie boy while you were at fucking weddings Got doing god knows fucking what Dave and Dan without again looking for a pat on the back or like, you know elevating myself March madness some of those storylines where did I rank in terms of how that was? Hi, great. Hi. Okay. There we go Jack So in April and May when we come when we conceptualize the idea and sat down three days a week Here's what we're gonna do We're really gonna put it to the paper and then in June July, August We start filming this stuff and rolling it out all through my own fucking connections When it starts debuting at the end of September. Yeah, Jack that timeline makes sense you fucking dick So yeah, and does it help obviously at the end of the year? Yes, dick, but it's logistics Which I fucking worked in third party jerk off This is the fucking thing. This is what they say they're like why do you have a temper? Why you an asshole? It's got your mother fucking culture. It's the same fucking thing every mother fucking time Know what goes on in the inner working same thing. Yo, Dave. Well, oh you posted you could post a video by your fool You wrote like buddy. It's four second like are they should we be diving into your fucking day or this and that with Dan? Oh, you did this you you don't know the fucking behind what's going on in the wall, man Like it's the dead somebody's dead. Why was I posted what video what four second that part of the lost? I'm saying if if there was a comment or a troll or some dickhead to like dive into four seconds of your life Be like whatever you like you don't know what's going on man, right lay it get out the whole picture Okay, you shouldn't be counted every fucking second Right culture sucks and I will say listen I was watching the Yankees red socks last night big ads for neutral all over the bullpen big budget and they're in the Bosco business. I didn't know it. You're in the Bosco business with my luck the fucking paperwork is gonna go through a book Okay, well see we're we're staying positive. What did you didn't what are you talking about? No, I'm saying it's just finalizing That's all I don't want to get ahead on myself. Oh, okay. Um, so you didn't answer Jack's question though Yeah, Dan you would you would master I'm asking like, no, no, no, no, yes, the question. I'm asking. All right. Dave, let me ask you. We had come to a finality of a discussion and you re-brought it off. I didn't, I just said, it's a question. No, he's, yes, which I addressed, he's right. Dave, let me ask you a question. As an employee, coming to you, take me out of the equation. Someone comes to you every year, it's on a one year deal. And at the end of December, what's the first usual question or how you kind of approach? Like, hey, first of all, it's difficult. Like, when you have five minutes, we saw that play out a couple of weeks ago, how it goes. But like, you might only have 45 seconds in front of this guy. Like, all right, what do you got? You got, you got two minutes, what do you got? It's like, all right, well, here's what it did. I did what I did, I'm in the mix, this and that. But like, here's the new thing that you say, go do something yourself. Yeah, this is where it is. So yes, at the end of the year, I definitely did, Dan, want to have something for that. And that's been from your advice as well. Yes. So you can't do the gothic thing with that as well. I'm a gothic. I'm a hoot-gulture. No, the only gothic in here is Jackie Tables, trying to get the heat off him being an October fest. It's just tough. It's tough because like, you know, it's at the end of the day, like, who do you answer to? I answer to these two guys, doing a pretty good job, staying in the fuck out of the way, laughing at things, working on it, getting things going. And then, but here it is. It's the gothic culture. It's fucking this. It's fucking the beach house bikini boys and this and fucking everybody. Who's the beach house bikini boys? Melee. Oh, and who's the other bees? What did I say? Oh, there's a bad Bitcoin reply guy. Oh, yeah. I'm getting, I need Jerry's guy to get the IP address. I'm down that path.

We're teetering, but with this, but I'm trying, I'm dedicating as much as I can to work and making it work. The meds back in the mix is what Dave is saying, I think. But pick 'em at the end of the year too. What's he gonna do? You need a good pick 'em, man, I mean, what do you want? There you go. B-C plus four. Like, what do we want? (laughing) This is the show you guys have said. I've tried to come in. - You're right, you're right. You're right. You're as much as like, you don't got it. I've come in here being like, offensive play rate and fucking third down conversions, you guys, right? That ain't what it's about. Like, you picked great this year. This picture at the end. Listen, and I wrestle with it every night because it's like, where do you find that line in the madness? I think you're right about it. I think it may be time, maybe if you were doing two pills, maybe do the one, maybe, come back up a little bit. I think where we're starting to get, you know, every play that came excite bite, like the, the, oh yeah, and you over the, the bike overheats and you just break down. You're getting into that red area on excite bite, where it's like, you're gonna take it down a couple of levels. Just take one. This personal shit, there's a lot, a lot of things. Yeah, and that's a, that's a Bosco no-meds trademark. The only one in the world with, you know, a life outside of here. So it, we're getting there. First guy ever to have kids. Don't see, see, see, see, you can't say you're doing good. I'll present that back in my face. I'll present that. You can't say that. You can't do that. Well, I'm saying the whole goal. What is my goal every day? Perform it, stay out of fucking trial and then, and not give you shit. Of the crying and the fucking figure it out, too. Exyn, some meds. Just one. Maybe we gotta, maybe we gotta be, you know what, maybe we gotta, maybe we gotta be like a, like, like, like, when Stella needs. You know, all the great artists and musicians, if they were on meds, they wouldn't be known, right? They're at their best, right? Right. It's like a beautiful mind. Right, right. But maybe, maybe we do like, like, when I have to give Stella meds, because she's getting old, like just hot in the food. Yeah, just throw one in a little cheese and just be like, here, Bosco. Have a little cheese. Just have a cheese. I've taken, like, the motto has been no setbacks. Dave, the same thing, right? Hey, Waco Borsal's probably not working with the format we had. Great. Which I agree with that, like, that form, like, has it works? You got too many things to host, T-Bob runs it. That's why we fucking hired the guy. I've always been pro of bringing in new guys. That's always been my motto. Yeah. So let's, Bosco, by the way. Every time, very helpful. He's still sending links and he's been helpful. So that is a, that has a nice, it's a good move. I've appreciated it. Now, I connect the contract thing with it, but I appreciate it. Right. And the Bosco. No, well, that's, no. It's just due. Well, if you gave him more than a one-year deal, then you could always do that argument. You could always do that argument. He's always on it. He's always on it. He's always on it. He tried to murder people. He's run people of a company. He's guys like that. You don't put on multi-year deals. You always need the carrot to keep the dog walking. Great. And when you have four or five fuck-ups, I think that maybe debuting it during M.O.V. playoffs isn't a great idea. I do like the series, though. We talked about it, Rico. You sent me some videos. I think it's got some legs. I'm a big proponent of it. I think it's good. I would avoid Red Sox Yankees tonight as the air date. You're not going to get much. We got to get a hog deal coming in. I probably won't compete against that. I appreciate that. Yeah, no problem. Welcome. And you have been, I will say, the three months, we do text. But yeah, you have not, we didn't go back to when you remember when you followed me all the way to my car. Yes. You don't do that anymore. Every once in a while, I go back to check myself. I'll scroll through like old texts to remind yourself, like, how bad you were. You know, like, you got to look at that. So like, so that's what I'm saying. Like, like, it's not, I don't want. That's dark. That's dark shit. Watch game. Yeah. That's some dark shit. Who's cackling like a little girl, Hank? Yeah, that was me. Yeah, it's, it's tough for supporting a cult. It would have been so much more fun, Hank, if you had quacked out today. If you were quacked out, it would have been great. I rode. I'm going to ride it all. I had him. Yeah, I had him. All right. Should we do some picks? That was some good stuff, boys. That was good. That was a good triangle offense that we had going. And I'll say this about Jackie, because I know people are going to come after him for the opportunity. I told Jackie before pick them started. Like, he is the, he's probably the only guy who can still get that Bosco. So he, he does serve a nice purpose on this show. Well, yeah. I mean, listen, if I fuck up, you two are going to eviscerate me. But the goal, yeah, the goal is trying not to perk, perk, perk up yourself. The thing now. And line into it when it does. Like, when you, you know, you bring the neighbor in, like, you do this, that, whatever. Like, all right. Yeah, it's, you fight fire. Like, the thing that drives me nuts is Bosco has some underlying strange loyalty to them too. Like that fact that that holy and garden, housing garden picture wasn't already out there. Like, is crazy because. Asco like their friends. They actually are friends. But that minute, the minute, the hesitates to run Bosco over with a car, back it up. But that's also his job and peel out on his face. That's also his job in pick him world. But it's fielded dreams. Dude, you can't go back. Moonlight Graham. When I turn to gotcha culture, it's too far long for me. It does get right. Although Jack Mac last night on the stream did say, like, I am kind of a gotcha culture guy to other people. Oh, well, yeah. We don't ignore that. No, no duh. Yes. Now, where, where do you think you came up with gotcha culture? You look to the mirror. You're like, oh, gotcha culture. Like, imagine if the dude popped up right now. I wonder what his thing is with the gotcha culture. High school basketball starts in a couple of months. Okay. All right. Well, let's get to our picks. 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&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 denim pair with a handly sweater, a bra free top. It's comfortable effortless. It just never fails. Find your fall capsule at Abercrombie shop in the app online and in stores. Okay, boys. Let's do it. A big noon kickoff. I'm putting this game on here. It shouldn't be on here. But it's big noon kickoff. Wisconsin at Michigan. Michigan's minus 17 and a half. Over on just 43 and a half. It's going to be bad. You'll be there. Point total, Dan. I think it's 12 and a half. I mean, I don't think Wisconsin is going to win another game this year. I really don't. I think it's that bad. So it's time for a full reset. But Dave will be there. Big noon kickoff will be there. I'm not going to be there. Because we're not. You're going to check in with Dusty Dave. You're going to stop by a practice. No, so I'm going to be there. And they are having a practice like Friday. The debut of Gogogo Gray is knock on wood. It's Friday at Keanland. So. Oh, yeah. Miss watermelon is entered in the 10th at Keanland. So there's no way I was missing that like. So I'm. I'm flying in after the race. Are you going to get some burgu? Yeah, probably. Although it's supposed to be anything there on Friday. Oh, that's a little too hot. I love Keanland. Yeah, I can't wait. I'm like nervous. Excited. It's been what three years that I since I started Gogogo Gray. I have one horse get to the gate. Law can happen between now and Friday. But flying a Keanland. tomorrow morning. Is that what you're gonna go? No. Okay. Where do you think it stacks in the odds? I don't know. I mean, morning line is eight to one. Uh, you never know if people are gonna know as my horse. How aware people if they are, the horse will get bet down and be no value probably. But the horse can run. What rights? It's the last 10th. Okay. The horse can run. I will be tuning in. That's Friday, right? Right. Opening a keenland first day. Yeah. Uh, all right. So I'm not gonna see. I think Michigan wins by a thousand here. I think Michigan is a team that I have a star on them that they can elevate themselves into upper echelon. I was really impressed with Nebraska. I don't think the store store show that who's Nebraska, but they're physical. They're mean. And if the quarterback keeps developing, we could have something. Um, but I think they absolutely smash Wisconsin here. I'm gonna take Wisconsin plus 17 and a half. I have to. I have one question for you though, Dave about this game. Brandon Walker brought up a decent point. Bryce Underwoods looked awesome. The last two games. Biff Poeji was the coach. They were running him. I saw this. I was on more. Yes. Ron Moore has not run him the same way. Or is there any hesitation on that? No, I, I think strong caught so much heat for the way they called the game in Oklahoma that they had changed the whole and took the brakes off. Yeah. All right, Rico. Michigan. Okay. Sorry. No, it's fine. I guess I'm on the call too. Yeah, right? Yeah, but his program is for years. Wisconsin betting Wisconsin in the big foreign man and the fucking it's bad. 1500 yard coming back was fun. We've gotten to a point like it's kind of a sad season. Oh, beyond the history on Wisconsin. Like, you know, Wisconsin, like what the fuck's going on there? I remember sitting and I think we're, he's gone. Wisconsin just smashing Michigan. Yeah, just like ran it down your throat. Yeah, it's just the older you get, the more you watch these like taught you used to set your watch to it and you're watching them disappear. I know it's bad. They kind of did the rich rod thing like y'all who you are. Yeah, totally tried to transform what you're doing. It sets it back. But the thing that's crazy about Wisconsin too is like, I don't think anyone in the world thought fickle was a bad hire. Yeah, you know, I mean, it was a home run hire. He was the most, you know, he's one of the top three names that was out there. It just hasn't worked out. It sucks. I'm pretty bummed about it. But hopefully, they can figure out a way to get it turned around and maybe next year, maybe win a game this year, you know, Billy Edwards might be back, which would be good because that's the other part that they like fickle has done some bad things and made some bad decisions. He's also had some incredibly bad luck with all three of his quarterbacks getting hurt in the three years. He's been at Wisconsin. What has been the reason Dan to watch like, is it the NIL? You didn't get the players. You went away from the linemen. It's partially NIL. It's partially doing the whole dairy raid thing. It's partially the quarterbacks getting hurt. It's partially the new big 10. It's it's a lot of things. It's like a perfect storm that's all gone at the wrong way for Wisconsin. And yeah, you got to figure out you got to have like a gut check. Maybe this off season to be like, what the fuck are we going to be? Yeah, because you worry you could be in Nebraska where it's like you're bad for a long time. Yeah, you know, no, it sucks. I'm bummed out about it. All right, Vandy at Bama, this is a good game. Bama minus 10 and a half over under 55 and a half. Bama coming off a huge win at Georgia. Vandy didn't cover, but dominated Georgia or Utah State. I'm going to take Vandy in this. I just think it's too many points. I know that this is in here's why I think Bama will always get up for that Georgia game. And I know they're not going to be looking past Vandy from what happened last year. I don't know if Vandy can win the game like they did last year, but and I'm very impressed with Ty Simpson, but 10 and a half points Diego Pavia, like give me 10 and a half points with that guy. I'll take Vandy. What is his Heisman odds? Imagine if he wins this game. I don't know. That's let me look it up right here. Never hear his name. I agree. I think it's scary. It's very scary because it might be like Bama has flipped the switch. Yeah, I don't know if they have because they start look like that in the first half and they kind of struggle in a second. I actually took Ty Simpson to win the Heisman. I took a flyer on him before last week and after the first three series, I'm like, I can cash this ticket. But I like Vandy and I like the over here. Diego Pavia 1700 plus 1700. So right now it's down to a more plus 750 Ty Simpson plus 850 Jeremiah Smith, which I wouldn't Jeremiah Smith might be something worth looking at because there's been a lot of quarterbacks that have not really separated. And I do think that Ohio State's going to start smashing the Jeremiah Smith button. So I got mine went from 20 to eight Ty Simpson. I have I have Jeremiah love the 25 to one. It's still 25 to one. I do think that Notre Dame's going to go to the playoff. All right. What do you what do you have here Rico? I'll take Alabama. I'm going to take Alabama just in a sense of that. I think last week may have shifted the season now and they can really get it rolling. I know there's a lot to worry about with Vandy. Obviously last year at Pavia, but at home, I think they take care of business. It's a like where it's a where Bama flex it game like this is where I'm totally off because and I've been saying this for a while. The Alabama's and the Georgia just aren't who they are anymore. So I think like I had Alabama last week to beat Georgia. But I don't think Georgia's that great Georgia could already have two losses and Vandy has definitely improved. So I didn't think the SEC and people have been coming out. I think it's a mishmash of decent team. The SEC is is kind of like the big 12 this year and that there are a lot of really good teams and not one superpower. Not even close to a superpower. Right. Cause like you throw out the teams like Ole Miss, tax A&M, Tennessee, LSU. I know they struggled at Ole Miss, but there's a lot of teams in the SEC that are like Holy shit. This is Mizzou. There's a lot of good teams. The SEC. There's not one team that you're like that team is head and shoulders above everyone else. Listen, I love Oregon. But do we know if anybody is head and shoulders above? Is there a clear kind of Ohio State Oregon Penn State right now or the three best. Penn State. Yeah, I still think so. Okay. Ohio State definitely is I think head. But again, you never we talk about this in Ohio State. I mean, Washington may not be very good. They dominated kind of Texas. So you don't know like it's still so early. Yeah. All right, next game. Texas Texas at Florida. Florida plus six and a half over under 41 and a half. I love this game, boys. I love this game. I'm taking Texas minus six and a half. This is a this is a lightning bolt game. Dave. This is I was going with Florida all week and I was like archmaning socks and then I looked into it a little more. Florida is banged up on the defensive line. Florida has not been able to score against elite defenses, which Texas still has. They had a buy week. I think arch is going to do just enough. I think you're going to see a better arch in the game more than just enough. Yeah, but no, I actually don't I don't I don't think he has to do more than just enough. That's what I'm saying. Like I think Florida's I think Florida's going to score in like the 10 to 14 range. So it's not going to be that the arch has to light the world on fire. I I went into this week being like I'm going to take Florida no matter what and then I started looking at it more. It's like why would you think that because I think a lot of people are thinking that like arch first SEC game since week one, you know, he's played nobody. He looks like shit. I'm going to take Texas minus six and a half. Well, I ate the cheese and I've taken I've eaten the cheese about three or four weeks. I keep taking Florida and they keep not covering and I keep waiting for these lines to be bigger and they're just not. This time they're at home, I'm taking Florida. Okay, I heard everything. I just at some point they're in these games. I know the break or two is going to go their way and they may win it. So I'm going to take Florida. Okay, Rico. I don't want to root for Florida to Dave's point. I've watched this play out. Like I will take Texas. Florida probably smarter number based on everything you're saying at home, they will get the break that will be the, you know, the swing play that changes things. But with that said, like I don't want to for Florida, don't like watching them. I'll take Texas. Okay, uh, next up we got, uh, Texas Tech at Houston. Interesting game. Houston look like fucking piss last week. So I was thinking about it. Look ahead. I think that might have been the classic look ahead. I think I think Houston is live in this game. I know Texas Tech is really fucking good. I like Willie Fritz as a coach a lot. I think they're going to be in this game. I'm going to take a half and a half and it was moving dead started. I think 11 and a half 12. I like Houston as well. Dave and Hank, you don't get to say it. I hate the game. I hate the game. I'm going to take Houston, but I hate the game. Okay, uh, last up Miami at Florida State. This is a great game. Taking a little roster out of it because Florida State lost in Virginia. Florida states plus four and a half over under 53 and a half. I'm going to take the over in this game. Uh, I'm a little nervous. If I had to, if I had to go side, I'd probably lean Florida state. I do think Miami's really fucking good, but like this is one of those like gut check games for Florida State after again, maybe looking ahead. What do you got Dave? I have a big question, Mark. I don't know what I think Miami could be really good. But maybe I don't know. I have a hard time reading them still. I'm going to take Florida State. I put a championship bet on them, which obviously blew up real quick right before they play. Virginia because I thought they'd be Virginia, then beat Miami, um, I have far less confidence now, but I'll stick with them at home. Plus the points, classic rivalry game. Okay. Uh, let me see what any boy can say comes down to quarterbacks for me. Carson Beck in one score game, 64% completion percentage, averages 261 yards has a 12 TD to five INT ratio. He's five and two in those games. Castellanos is five and six with a 36% completion percentage, averaging 131 pass yards, 18 TDs, 11 INTs in a one score game. I will take Carson Beck, but you don't want this to be a one score game. Like four and a half. You don't want this to be a one score game. That's what myself in a corner. Yeah, like, you know what I mean? You're right. But if someone's, okay, yes, that's a, we had a good run till now. Great way to keep it in check, Dan. Got to pull you guys out. I like, I like the stats, but like if you are taking minus four and a half on the road, you're hoping that it's not a one score. Yeah, I agree. And Castellanos is pretty electric down the stretch last week. I will say I know I noticed when you called him out on that day, where is those, what are those gifts for the guy has the mask like smiling, but behind it, you know, he's like freaking out. That kind of seemed that kind of seemed like boss goes face when you called him on. Yeah, it's a light call out. It's not a, listen, it's a good, it's if it's a, if it is a one, if we're not being attacked, we go, no, no, no. And so I didn't freak out. Like you left about it again. That's what you're supposed to do. Yeah. If it is a one score game, Carson Beck will be the better quarterback. But if you're betting minus four and a half on the road, you are hoping that is not a one score game because that will be very good. You could eat it out. Yeah, you could. I also love my amys. Yeah. I mean, my amys defense. I think Christopher's got to go get it. So like, what does that mean? He's got to go get it. He's, you know, he's been, what is Christopher's going to go get it mean? He's been on, he's been on the ledge of elevating to the last. Here's the mask. Here's the mask. He would be nice if Miami gets over the hump and gets to the party. These are the games you win to go get the conference, get to the playoff party. Okay. So Christopher's got to go get it. It was a, let me break this down. This game now. Chris Wall is going to go get it. I did. And Miami's, uh, Miami's defensive coordinators and Oxford guy. So Oxford mass shot at Oxford mass. Okay. Uh, all right. Let's do our cards. Dave, you got your box for Matt. Yeah. I thought he was talking about. Is that a tell? What? Why are you shutting on Oxford mass? Yeah. Body of mine. I played with the college was from often catching up this weekend. He's like, the man. That's what happens. It's just random synapses when you're not on the meds. Things are just like a, a galaxy of just weird shooting stars going on in your head. This episode is brought to you by state farm. Football has a play for just about everything. You can go deep, keep it on the ground or drop something nobody sees coming. And whether you want to run a flea flicker or the push, you need a plan to fit your unique situation. That's why state farm takes the time to get to know you so they can help personalize coverage for your life and budget. Now, that's a solid game plan, like a good neighbor state farmers there. Um, all right, Michigan, my 16 and a half against 17 and a half right now. 17 and a half. Still an extra point. I mean, it's looking at the lines right now. What do you want me to say? Penn State, I have 25 and a half against UCLA. I have that as well. I think they come back and absolutely smash this team. Uh, you know, by the way, UCLA has not led for a second. Second, it's crazy. That's insane. Maryland plus six and a half at home against Washington. Um, they're undefeated Maryland. So and Washington is coming off that tough loss. USF minus 27 and a half against Charlotte. BYU minus 19 and a half at home against West Virginia, uh, Vandy plus 10 and a half and over 56 and a half against Bama. Um, I took Florida. We already talked about tech plus six and a half against Texas. I'm Michigan state plus 11 and a half at Nebraska. I don't need Nebraska. It should be fucking double digit favorites for anybody. Florida state plus four and a half against Miami at home. Uh, I like the fight and brand walkers 14 and a half tough loss last week, but I think they're pretty good. Can I say something? Uh, oh, what? Revely died. So that that's good. Bad. Good. Oh, I thought Revely was a mistake. Yeah. No, that's, uh, bully, I think it was a retired revelry. So it's not the revelry. Oh, wait. What? So I think it was the retired revelry died. Uh, the current revelry is still there. But all revelry died. I just want to throw that out. If it's current, that would affect it. Okay. Um, okay. That's my card. Okay. Rico BYU minus the 19 and a half Illinois Purdue over 56 and a half army UAB over 57 and a half Navy had 295 yards on the ground against UAB in the rain. UAB is 128 first to run 128 points per game. Uh, UAB is offense is also 44th in yards per game and army's QB health is getting a little bit better. Um, but their defense allows 100 points per game. That's going to be a scorefest. That UAB game with Navy didn't go over though, right? Navy. I want to say I had it. I laid it with Navy. I'm going to be honest, Dan. I don't remember the total. I know Navy covered. All right. I just I think I was in this. It was in the six. It was in the 60s. It was I think 42 to 20 or 38 23. Can we double check it? I'm looking at it up right now. Hold on. What fucking? What are they? What are they? The conference USA? No. What the fuck is Navy now? I think a plan UAB's playing army. And what are you looking for? He's looking for. I'm looking. He's talking about I had American. I think the, um, I had that game. Yeah. No, it did. It went over 38, 22. All right. Yeah. It did. I'm going to add that to my card as well. 56 and a half. Yeah. I just for some reason I thought I lost it because they only scored 14 points a second and a half. Yeah. Yeah. I thought for some reason I lost that. Okay. Keep going. I just got tagged. I got your culture thing. Um, what? Nothing. I got a notification. It's not good. Uh, what, what was the notification? Uh, nothing. What, what was the guy? I saw something that this will be another soon failed Rico idea. So no, is that just a random person? Yes. So how do you get that? Well, it's via like your tag didn't look like you get I got tagged. Yeah. But it's a, but why are you having random people's tags like public via another show? Yeah. It's via another show going on right now. So it's all right. Um, you mean somebody on our end tagged you? Yeah. It's like one of our accounts. No, it's yeah, like a quote, uh, account for another show of ours. Yeah. Was it nearly boy? No. Um, I said that. Who said that? Kirk. Uh, that's tough. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough when, but you just got to think now Kirk, Kirk will try to kill everybody. You just, it's not a personal thing about him. His, his job is to tear everybody down. Not really. But that's how he views it. Like he tears me down more than anybody. Like he, he, so you just got to let that go. He's not doing that personal. He's a miserable guy. He wants to tear everybody down. Just keep moving the ball down the field. It doesn't want you to win. No, he wants everybody to lose, including him. Keep moving the ball down the field. Wake. Practice. Look, he's in his, he didn't like this. It's just derailed the whole thing. You, you should turn off the minahan comments because now we're talking about it. It's just going to intensify. Wake plus seven. Uh, I can't quit this team. Um, I'll take the over and Oklahoma Kent State 53 and a half. I know materials out. I do just think this Kent State team gift, gift of like they can't stop anybody. I also think they got a little fight to go get us like the 14, even against Oklahoma. They do non stop gold. There's going to be a ton of possessions. I agree with you Michigan State plus 11 and a half. Uh, if you look at rule, his double digit wins in big 10 play Purdue 2023 and 2024 Illinois in 2023 Wisconsin in 2024. Not really like knocking you off the page in terms of phenomenal teams. Now is Michigan state a little bit overrated at three and one or whatever they are maybe, but I'll take Michigan State plus the 11 and a half. I think good state is probably the worst of the teams that you listed there, but go ahead. Good stats. We'll see. Uh, love Texas state minus the 13 and a half Arkansas state. Texas state is off of a buy Arkansas deed. Uh, Arkansas state D is awful. Texas state will outscore them. Arkansas state is the team that you. You went against with Iowa state. Are you chasing that? Maybe a little bit. I didn't even. That's okay. We all do it. We all try to try to get our revenge somewhere down. Yeah. I used in plus games every week. Used in plus the 10 and a half. Uh, Memphis Tulsa over 57 and a half. Well, that's bad. Uh, no, I'll do my card first. Uh, I'm going to take since he minus one and a half. Memphis minus 20 and a half. I'm riding with Rico, UAB Navy over 50 Earth is 57 and a half. Yeah. 57 and a half. Penn State minus 25 and a half. I agree with Dave. I think they're just going to, this is going to be James Franklin flexing. The Brasker Michigan State, I'm taking the over 548 and a half, I don't think Michigan you can say defense. They're they're lost on defense. BYU minus 19 and a half. I'll start with my mortal going back to the well. It's treating me well. So mortals Bob Diaco. I'm five and O. Zupi's four and one. Ebo's four and one. Hank's three and two. Rico's three and two. Jack is two two and one and Dave is two and three. I'm going to go Boise Notre Dame over 62 and a half. I think Boise is going to play loose. They have this like running back by committee now that kind of works. Notre Dame's CJ cars the real deal. Jeremiah loves the real deal. Price is the real deal. They got guys everywhere on offense. Their defense are still trying to figure it out. So I'm going to take over 62 and a half Notre Dame Boise. Hank. That's my card that Notre Dame over. Also add the Houston plus what if it's 10 and a half. Yeah. I'm taking Miami minus 4 and a half. We have that Carson back. High's been ticket. This this would be a game they need to to ball up. And Chris mall's got to get it. Yeah. He's got to get it. He's got to get it. Uh, Zupi. I like Penn State. Okay. My 25 and a half gross. I'm going to take Michigan and Ebo is taking Houston Texas tech under 50 and a half. Okay. Houston. I'm under 50 and a half. I actually kind of like that play. Add that to my card. Uh, Rico. Georgia Bulldogs minus 20 and a half. Is this a list game? No, no, it's still as a team Kentucky. Kentucky's been pesky. They won by an average of 16 points a game. I believe with Kirby smart. But I think Kentucky's down. Georgia's got to get back. Confidence booster at home. I think they roll. Georgia just keeps it going. Georgia minus the 20 and a half. They don't shout out Whitney. They're not keeping it going. Keeps the season going. Can't have two losses in a row. They lose two in a row. It really derails the season. Keeps them. Yeah, guys keep me in check. I respect it. Oh, I misunderstood. The way I keep going. Well, they lost last week. So I got confused. But keeps their season alive. Maybe it was a better way to say, uh, say iron sharpens are. Okay. Dave Michigan. I think they just they win this game by 30 plus. Okay. You got Michigan minus 17 and a half. Yeah. Can we also do the underdog, uh, Moneyline Parley? They've been crushing. Well, it didn't work. I know, but it's been doing really, really well. Okay. Why are you deterred, Dan? Because when I give picks out, I have to bet them and I don't, I'm going to lose this one. Is that a fair answer? It's fair. So you make me say a pick out loud. I then go bet it. And then I lose it. It's fair. So it's not my favorite, but it's fine. We're going to do it. I'm going to find one. I'm going to try not. I know you as like me. I like flowers. I'll give mine as Maryland plus six and a half at home against Washington. Okay. Uh, by the way, I had Clemson North Carolina over 46 and a half. What a bummer of a game that is over 46 and a half. Um, okay. Well, this one would be Moneyline, Dave. You want Maryland Moneyline plus 200? Yeah. Yeah. That's okay. Oh, also at Arizona minus 20 and a half on my card, Oklahoma States dead. And I thought they'd get a bounce back from the coach. They actually hung tough for a half against Baylor. Um, all right. I'm trying to find one. What do you got? Rico? Houston. This will be a big one, then. Houston. Uh, fuck. Kind of like Wyoming at home. That's a dog shit game. What's it out right now? Houston and what was it? Maryland? Uh, I'll do, uh, I'll do, I'll do Florida State. Florida State Moneyline. All right. I like that. Houston, Maryland, Florida state. Big one. That's going to be a big, massive one. Massive one. Yeah. Uh, 35, 43, 35, 33 to one. Okay. By the way, just to talk. Well, you guys are probably deep asleep. I was fighting for my life last night. I had it. Yeah. Oh, I blogged it. That's unbelievable. That fucking alley. Oh, in the W. Yeah. I had, I had close to $4 million, potentially if the fever won the championship. Now I had it 39 to one because I had what Florida, I had everything. They, they had no business making this far. Their team was decimated. Kelsey Mitchell gets hurt. What round are they in? They're out. It lost an overtime last night to get to the finals. Oh, fucked out of an incredible head spot. I know. Damn. I'm sorry, Dave. And, and, and it, in overtime, Aliyah Boston filed out and with 26 seconds left in regulation, Kelsey Mitchell hurt, Caitlin Clark hurt, Sophie cutting him hurt. It, they, the fact they even got that close is crazy, but it, I caught a could a probably at that point, guaranteed half a million to a million hedge. Stuck. Dan, I just sent the layup. If you could see it, that's the play at the end. Okay, hold on. Let me see. Brutal. What time was this game on? 9/30. 9/30. TV 3 last night. Okay, hold on. Watching. Watching. Oh, that was to win. No, I don't know what he's talking about. The cover, the back door cover. I was like, I even know what the fuck you were talking about. I just, they need him to win. I know he needed him to win. I know. And he got his heart ripped out also, but anybody who bet it, that's also a bad beat. Who fucks bet and that like that at the end? That was. Okay, synapse. You understand? I had a message. Yes, yes. I apologize. Yes. You, you take precedent. Yes. There's also a bad beat. That wasn't even that bad of a beat if we've been honest. All right. I better get better for the next one. Let me great show. We go. Hold on, hold on. It's done. I mean, that wasn't that bad of a beat. That would have been like a pretty nice fucking play. It actually would have been a bad beat for Vegas. Now, it's a bad beat over time. So obviously you shouldn't spread spread was seven and a half, but I'm talking about I had, yeah, I had him straight to win a million. I had him with Florida Gators who won the National Championship. That was a parlay put in. That was 25 grand of win 1.3 million. I have him with the red socks to win the America. I have them a million different fucking ways. That's what I was talking about. It wasn't even a bad beat. No. I mean, it was a bad beat because it went over time and you're plus seven and a half, but I can't even believe they got over time because their entire team died. Yeah. Is that a tick when you're doing that? That means like, uh, maybe yeah. All right. Good show. Good show. Good show. Have a great weekend. All right. Yeah. Good luck. Miss watermelon. Yes. All right. See you. All right, see you guys.
