closely we can't see you dave but it doesn't i guess it doesn't matter um very closely but you're gonna be late to the funeral because of pick them yeah i i mean years ago like it was you know you

gotta like go apple pick and that's different than a funeral all right and then to come in a suit you you knew this would come up the first question i had today was does anybody have any bombs because i got a list of some i don't have any but does anybody have any box that's not a bomb that you came to the pick them with with with the suit and tie on and then you're like yeah i got a funeral but i'm moving around now i i do feel i feel bad but like also i don't even know dan if i should bring this up but i got an anonymous tip that was like you know how if you suspect something before 9-11 and you don't feel say anything and then 9-11 happens you feel bad like you knew someone's like you just better like i have to say something you have to check on the well-being of bosco oh no this is the the the alarms are all blinking red yes oh boy and now he's dressed i so i don't even want to go in i mean i have i i yeah i i are you all right bosco yeah do you have a bomb do you have a bomb today what a question to start i don't i don't know what that means do you have a bomb dave so your only thing was somebody said just check in on me that's it was there a bomb attached to that message but you have no like gotcha culture bombs nothing i don't know if you consider this it was i think it was got your back culture oh but the person what rico's asking was was that this message sent by the way can we dave do you have do you need us to see dave yeah we're gonna have to get you're just you're just like the wizard of oz right now oh okay wait wait yeah so when i did that here this there we go oh no okay yeah all right okay got it all right so dave what rico is asking is this person they just reached out and said hey you gotta ride it yeah right right just to make sure that rico's okay they didn't also include like hey i got this bomb that you can blow up in his face no it was trying to prevent a bomb yeah yeah i appreciate that all right yeah i got some things i i feel like you what do you mean i feel like we don't have to go quick pick them like tomorrow or something you have a funeral dude we'll be okay like all right we'll be okay i guess the guy's dead he's not coming back we go for 50 minutes and then like you make we'll be okay are you at the funeral house no not what do you mean we go for 50 minutes that means the funeral started according to your timing it starts in an hour from when we started this thing is it the funeral or the wake funeral went to the wake oh my god like because the wake i understand like you can you know you can go at any time yeah yeah funeral's a funeral rico all right how far away is it 15 minutes oh so you're not getting there no i mean this is crazy this is disrespectful to the deceased all right it is that i guess that's the bomb i knew it i knew it today i had a list i was feeling myself i was gonna get out in front of my skis and then here we go but all right that's a bomb you dressed you're dressed like what do you you're dressed why would of course we're gonna ask you why you have a black tie and uh it looked like you're going to a funeral i didn't know it was a funeral but when you answer the funeral starts yeah very close with this person it starts in 20 minutes it's you wanted us to bring it up otherwise you would have had a t-shirt on that's gotcha culture that's not gotcha culture rico you're wearing a suit and tie the first question is gonna be why are you in a suit and tie all right all right i got my list all right hold on what's jack up here we go up to jack's got nothing gotcha culture is dead i like that i saw that i appreciate that it's a great shirt subscribe to bosco industries it's a great shirt see that shirt's in the sit in in the shop right now dave it's a great shirt bosco industries uh dave how's the dog i did say it's a tough week well i mean she's doing much better she's nothing compared to what you're going through all right wild question about you have a death in the family okay all right go go keep going congrats on the 50 50 dan thank you very much it's been a pleasure i tried to get set up by hank uh to go accept this big check yesterday but didn't and the cubs won so made the right choice um also the woman my 50 50 lady she sent me a very nice she gave me a very nice note it was awesome everyone's just cheering to me in the in wrigley like go back to back win it again um so it's been fun yeah uh the max thing then the reply guys are not doing me a favor by lumping me into this shit they are not they i want that on the record and like you know as much as people get hard we got we got unnamed in an hour people love when rico's got to go to the couch dave let's do a little role playing okay like let's reverse hold on before you do that dave has there's zero percent yeah he don't really care he might not care i might be getting out of my max uh get mad at hank in the gambling cave yes a lot of people immediately they try to play the the the game of hypocrite if rico did this it would be talked about on pick them forever he'd have a four month suspension attention this is bullshit blah blah blah blah blah and to my reply to that always is never for a second did i think max was going to physically hurt hank i don't think hank thought that either also rico has not been suspended for doing stuff like that he's had a job for life so it's like it doesn't make any sense they basically try to say oh like it's it's so unfair what you do to rico and then you let max do it max is different than rico in that max can you know kind of like he grabbed hank's hat through it grabbed his phone through it i never for one moment was like max is about to punch hank well aren't max and hank friends they're like very good friends that's yeah so it's like there's to play the it's just not even close to rico verse big t or rico verse right someone else who he doesn't like so but yes go ahead rico i agree it's fucked up that people reply that because then eventually i have to just say something because it's like guys what are we talking about like this is not the same yeah and and this is the you know we we all have a cross to bear like these are the sins i gotta carry i might have to carry them forever but again like if we played it the other way like if it came if i was crying to you dan or i was crying to dave and it comes up on our names like let's play the reversal if i'm like oh dave you know it's unfair max get to do this if i was dave i'd be like hey buddy you go to work in sweatpants you got a pretty good job you're in the mix you know like i i don't know what we're talking about all right i honestly i don't i'm totally confused on what what you're talking about right now i think there are people who think they can speak for me that i that i should be offended on things and i want it known that like if if i ain't saying it you don't say yes that is that so rico you're talking to your people the riders right now publicly yeah yeah yeah you are no because rico's right like what happens is people then start complaining to me and you dave being like oh it's bullshit like it's kind of it happens with mincy all the time where people like this guy like this guy doesn't have a job but mincy does it's like they're all separate cases i don't know what you want me to do not every single person is exactly the same rico flipping out and throwing a high noon can at big t or like shoving someone is very different than max and hank yeah i don't even know this was a comparison so it's a non fair enough they but they're you know they think like you play the victim when you say they you're talking about your own people yeah it puts rico in a bad spot because he doesn't want the comparison either he understands there's different control the riders this seems like a u issue rico that's fair well this is the public forum yeah this gets in you know there's some guys who think they still want to do that but yeah it's you know this is town square dave right i want it known yeah like head down hey pick them listeners we're going to take a quick break for a message from one of

funeral for a guy or a girl i don't know who who he says he's very close to he's just not going to make the funeral so i'd still like to see him in the funeral i don't know it's confusing it's like

right now did your mic break where'd he go oh he's back can you talk yeah What was that last part of that? You're back or did I break it? No, you're back. What was the last part of that message? In the moment, we all say things that probably shouldn't be repeated. So, and now, all right, whatever. You can tell that guy, too, that 40th birthday. Good luck getting that off the ground. Good luck, buddy. I think he's going to be able to get the 40th birthday off the ground. No, not if we go down the hole and we do something. Oh, we do some dark stuff? We do some dark stuff. We hire some guys. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Is that going to be in? I lost my mind in five minutes stressed about a release of an album. Like, are you going to put this in the episode? Yeah. Okay, fine. All right, whatever. Why wasn't that? What was so bad about that? I was losing my mind. It's not true. You got to trust the guys. Well, you came at me like you have nothing for the show. You just wanted to be football. I wasn't bringing that up. You provoked me. You're right. You're right. All right. You took a stick, and you're like, you got nothing. You got nothing. Whatever. Dave had something. Yeah, and I wasn't going to do it. I was going to be a good guy. That was definitely something. The guy who sent me that was like, don't do that. But he didn't preface it. He didn't lead with, I show you this. You can't do it. He sent it. He goes, don't use that. And I go, I can't promise that. And that is also the blinking red lights guy. Yes. Yeah, because that did. Okay. That's like, I have to say. I have to say it again. It's like, I have a sense something bad is about to happen. Check on your guy. Don't use it for content. I'm like, I can't promise that. I'll try not to. And I tried not to. You did. Credit to Dave. He tried not to. But then Rico started to be like, you got nothing. What? Just come on this show. You have nothing. You just want to do pics. All right, fine. I will. I have something. Now I'm going to have to use it. Damn. What was the last part of that? I don't know. A lot of laughs from Hanky over there. I'm not. This is like. This is not laughing. This is like when you're like. Someone says something really fucked up and you just laugh. Like, you don't know how to react. Nervous. Yeah. All his co-workers out. That's Jack sending fucking bad tweets. Wait, what happened? What did I do? When's the release? When's this drop? I wasn't going to bring any of this up. You're a cunt. You're a lying fuck. He brought it up. What are you talking about right now? I should have brought. Popcorn to this because I am very lost now. And this poor guy who's dead or girl enjoying the art. 40th birthday is going to be so mad. Yeah, because that 40th. Well, he's got some big plans for it. Now Rico's going to try to sabotage it. He's going to do some dark stuff. And I'll say this right now. As you can see, I'm wearing the. He's looking out for him. He's looking out for him by then. Bosco sinking him. If you tell me what you. I'm having a great year. Like, stay out of the way, buddy. Bosco, you let me know. I got an invite to that 40th birthday. If you need me to go as an undercover ride rider and try to try to take the whole thing down. I'm in. Yeah. Okay. How many times are you going to let this guy leave? Yeah, that part is crazy. I've been telling you that forever. God forbid. I think people are like actually looking out for me. He was. He is spy for you. He was whatever he is this time. He was whatever. I lost my mind in the release of being scared. And also Jack being like, you're holding this hostage. When are you releasing it? Like, it just gets to you. So you fucking lash out on the people closest to you. That's an apology. I shouldn't have done that. What? Yeah. I mean, you got a big thing that you're building. Like, you fucking, you know, like, you want to fine tune it. Make sure everything's great. This is Bosco Industries. Yeah. Right here. What was the last part of that message, Dave? So I get it. Let me see here. I got to, like, flip it all around. We're looking at Alabama game, Rico. Nobody wants to see you fail. How do you get you back on track? Get you to stop lying about when he can release things. I have an incompetent editor and a band of co-workers who want to see you fail. There's not a band of people. Oh, that's that's Jack. Yeah, that's wrong. Got it. That's Jack. That might be true. Jack does want to see you fail. I enjoy it. I don't want to talk about this. If you go roll the tape, so you just want to pick those things. You got nothing. You don't have anything to do. You got no bombs. All right. And it wasn't meant to be a bomb by 40th. He wanted to help you. 40th. Good luck. That's his code name. 40th. Yeah. Good luck, buddy. Hope, hope you, hope you, hope the band. He's going to be so mad that he's getting threatened. He's a big fan of yours, Bosco. Absolutely. If you checked in on our guy, Bosco, like you may want to check in on his well-being. Yeah, but Danny Hurley throws up before games and then goes and wins national titles. Like, so if it's working, leave me the fuck alone, dude. Let me be a fucking wacko. It's like you said, like Quentin Tarantino takes a fucking bag of shrooms, goes in a bathroom. And the next thing you know, he's got a fucking Oscar winner. Like, okay. You texted him, didn't you? He texted me. See, that's the gotcha culture. He texts me. That is gotcha culture. He texts me. See, that's gotcha culture. That's big time gotcha culture. We got to get it out of this fucking company. Did you? Big time gotcha culture. Why were you so adamant that this couldn't go in the podcast? Of course it is. All right, whatever. You're right. Also, Rico, here's what you say to Jetski. Jetski, you're listening to this right now. Dude, shit gets said in the heat of the moment. Like you said, Danny Hurley, right before he goes out, you say shit to people. You say shit that you regret. Everyone in this room, everyone in this world. Has said shit that they regret and they would love to take back in the heat of the moment. That happens. Who cares? Shows you got that fucking, shows you got that dog back in you. You also don't know the ins and outs of everybody's day. He's getting pulled in a million different directions doing this to go. Like it's, yeah, it's uncalled for, but you're stressed. Like you get stressed and you got guys fucking like looking to drag you down. So that's how it's going to go. And that's Jack Mack. Yes. Yes. Yes. Incorrect. Incorrect. Incorrect. I'm done with God. You're done. Okay. Yeah. Cause you got God. No. Cause that's what happened is that you saw the little jailhouse. They said, Hey, Jackie, I could have brought up. I could have brought up. And you didn't like it. Like I didn't like Jerry in the gambling cave and he has you on speaker. Like I don't bring that. Those conversations. Was Jesse not know that you talk shit about? No, no, no. Cause fucking Jerry was like, when's it going to go? And everyone, he's seeing what Jack's fucking saying. But I didn't fucking bring that up. Whatever, Jack. Fuck you. You play the song Rico, the song of the fall. That was, that feels like 10 years ago. We should play that. When, when is the show? That should be the, yeah, that should be the outro. The song of the fall. Jack, what is it? What was it? Jackie and Jackie tables. Oh yeah. Yeah. That was great. Episode of getting taken down. We can't play it. Oh shit. No, I'm kidding. Oh, okay. What are you looking for Rico? Nothing. When is the show job? Marique, you and Jeff keep keeping it hostage. Then he's tweeting. He's like, you got a real winner here. He's fucking doing this. He's fucking Max is going. I'm hearing rumors about you and Sully. Like, all right, that's fine. Just keep. It's fine. You want to see a guy break? We'll see. They are spreading crazy rumors about you and Sully. That's a threat that you're going to break. No, I'm just saying. I'm just, I'm no, like, that's the thing. Like, well, I'm just saying, you'll see. I'm just saying for you, they want to see it. They want to see, like, they want to see a break, but like, you know, like you ever heard the term like scary good, like maybe he's putting it together. He's staying out of the way. He's getting for all the years. He didn't get it. He's getting it. But like, now we might have a monster we can't control, but like, he's got it. It's got it. It's got a culture. But Bosco, you realize it's the least you've got it. You're, you're, you don't got nothing right now. You're, you're spiraling out of control. Bosco. This is like Bosco. This is a situation where it's like, you, you're, you, you threatening in front of me and Dave. It's like, you know, like when they do the, the, the, the, whatever the commission report, the nine 11 commission, they're like, Oh. Oh yeah. The CIA knew that the Al Qaeda moved to, to America. You're saying a lot of things that are, yeah. Like scary. Like you want to see me create a monster. Maybe you created a monster. Like I don't 40th birthday is being ruined. All right. All right. You're right. All right. All right. I'll tone it down. Tone it down. This poor guy is funeral. I mean, it's like, it's brutal. All right. We got to get going. Cause it's got to get to it.

literally in a fucking sling moving my arms back and forth so that was like a funny crossover where it's like if you forget our chemistry and like barstool inside jokes and then going to fox and it's like oh yeah i guess you probably shouldn't joke about being in car accidents i don't know i don't know i don't know people are still thinking i i want college football games to continue if someone

place dave you're at 52 bosco you're at 42 uh bob diaco standings i lost my first mortal that notre dame game that was brutal i you know when i know it was so far off and over but you know when you're fucked when you get a uh fourth and one on the goal line on the opening drive they don't get it it's just like it doesn't matter whatever happens for the rest of the game you're fucked we also had some crazy the vandy beat was terrible uh vandy vandy that cost i bet our parlay that was our parlay that was the pick and parlay yeah that was so fucking brutal i mean they just just tackled the guy i'd like colorado worst colorado colorado yeah tcu colorado that was crazy did you see that one dave no they they were they were upset the spread was 13 and a half tcu had like a 75 yard run to with like no time left to to the the alabama game that just they were covering the whole fucking game and by the way pavi have fucking choked yeah that was brutal brutal brutal brutal uh so i'm five and one ebo's five and one zoopy's four and two hank's four and two rico's four and two jack you're two three and one dave you're two and four uh let's do our card uh or sorry our their games of the week hey pick them listeners we're gonna take a quick break for a message from one of our partners it's fran from chicks in the office the weather is getting cooler and abercrombie's fall drop has

capsule at abercrombie shop in the app online and in stores all right now back to the episode all right boys big noon kickoff we're gonna be there ohio state at illinois illinois is plus 14 and a half over under is 49 and a half i'll start with you bosco i'm gonna take the under and trust ohio state's defense the way they've been playing i like that they have been ugly i think they can win ugly 30 to 10 something ugly i don't think they've given up a touchdown in two games i believe uh i know they didn't give one up yeah no they didn't give one up to minnesota or washington um their defense is insane and i illinois is banged up uh i think this is a game where ryan day i i would lean ohio state we're gonna be there though i i feel like this is a game where they're up big and they kind of take the air out of the ball and just do enough to get out of there because that feels like what ohio state's doing right now where it's like we're just so much better than teams we can just we can play at like 75 speed uh so i'm gonna take the under 49 and a half as well with you bosco dave i like uh the over actually here i think that like is this thing not spinning am i the wrong way yeah let me see here um all right i i for it's low it's 49 i think ohio state's offense is very good illinois defense is not very good so i think ohio state will put up points and i think illinois will put up points whether it's in a blowout or along the way but you'll have enough points to get over that over so i like the over okay uh next game great card this weekend alabama mizzou mizzou is plus three over-unders 51 and a half i've struggled with this game because i do think i've had less of a read on the game i think in the 20 years of doing this it's crazy i think ty simpson is so fucking good mizzou is good what is his heisman now uh let me look it up mizzou is good uh drinkwits got him got the boys rolling they have i'm not convinced missouri's good that's my problem yeah they have not so they played two real games they beat kansas should have lost to kansas potentially that final score is misleading they covered the spread with that long run at the end uh and they beat south carolina who's thinking about it i don't know i don't know who's not very good the other games they've played is like louisiana umass uh central arkansas that's the question i have here not who have you beaten it's who have you played and like south carolina we don't think is that great kansas is not that great uh ty simpson is that like a riddle it's not who have you beaten who have you played the most often the question is usually who have you beaten like all these teams have beaten somebody good missouri hasn't even played anybody good south carolina again like so isn't that like the same thing kind of just different way of saying the same thing not to pick on you but isn't it yeah okay uh they are weird that you're like it's not who have you beaten but who have you played i meant the question being asked the ty simpson is six and a half to one dave i'm going 20 to one holy shit that's nice yeah i bet it before the georgia game i like that that's real nice uh what do you got in this game rico bama i hate this game so do i but i'll take bama i'm gonna go with bama as well minus three i i've been on this take i was unimpressed with bama against vanderbilt like i i was i came out of that bama vanderbilt game more impressed with vanderbilt and more convinced like everyone the sec is kind of mushed together so i i think i'm taking missouri here but it's more i just because they're home i don't know that they're any good i just don't think alabama is great so i'll take missouri just because they're home okay uh next game indiana at or wait who'd you take i took i took bama minus three okay indiana at oregon oregon minus seven over under 55 and a half i'm gonna take oregon minus seven they're off a buy dan landing does feel dan landing actually feels kind of like they're they're they're corollaries with kurt signetti remember the dan landing game the colorado game a few years ago like when he could put it on you he's gonna put it on you and i think indiana is good i just think oregon's on in a different class like i think indiana can definitely you know make it back to the playoff i think they're a good team i think oregon's just that level above it i the The teams that I have in that level right now are Oregon, Ohio State, and Miami. Those are the three teams right now that I think are a step above everyone else. So, I'm going to take Oregon minus seven. What do you got, Rico? Oregon in the under as well. I know Indiana, you know, obviously they can score, but I do trust Oregon's defense as well. I'm going to take the under. Dave, what do you have in this game? I'm totally on the other side here. I like the over. I think Indiana, I love the quarterback, Mendoza. I think they can put up points. I'm not going to touch the spread, but my instinct is a close, high-scoring game. I'm taking the over. Okay. The only thing that makes me nervous about minus seven is Cignetti is definitely a spread coach. 100%. He's definitely, if you're not going to win, cover the spread. And I'm not convinced Oregon's totally in that next level yet, so that's why I think this could be close. That win against State Penn gets knocked down a little bit, obviously, now. I don't see it that way. Me neither. I see it the opposite. I think Oregon beat Penn State twice. Yeah, I'd agree. You know? It's not like, oh, UCLA, Penn State's not very good. Penn State had an entire year to get ready for that Oregon game. They emptied the clip against that Oregon team. They had nothing left, so Oregon beat them twice. I like that take. Yeah. All right. Second to last one. Oklahoma, Texas. Red River. Don't do that. Don't do what? Snort into the mic like that. I didn't mean to do that. I apologize. John Mateer probably not playing. I mean, he's like, it's all up in the air. I don't know. Do you think he is playing, Dave? I assume that line was with him playing. I thought so, too, but it's like, I don't know. It just feels like it's back and forth, and I guess maybe Oklahoma could just be keeping him. How effective is he going to be right off the surgery? I like Texas with that line thinking, I think Texas just, and I was way off. I thought Texas, I thought Arch was going to have a good game against Florida. Florida fucking killed them. That was, I know, it looked close in the end. Billy Napier, his clock management, he just gave him a free timeout at the end of the game. Arch has just lost, and Oklahoma's defense is for real. So, I'm going to take Oklahoma minus one and a half, whether he's playing or not, just because I think that this could be, I usually love betting the over in this game. I will not be betting the over in this game, because I think this could be a, like, 13-10 type of game. Dave? I'm on Texas. I think this game, the Red River Rivalry, is generally a get-right game for the team that needs to get right, and you don't expect it. The line, I thought he was playing. Like, Florida was due for that win against Texas. That was, like, I think my money-line pick or whatever. So, I like Texas here to beat Oklahoma. Again, the teams are all, there's no super teams. Oklahoma has the one win, really, against Michigan, but that's an early Michigan team. So, I like Texas here. It's probably smart to take Texas at this point in the week, because if John Mateer does play, officially is in, I would see it probably Oklahoma finishing as a small favorite. If he's ruled out, it will probably be north of three for Texas, so you'd get a nice discount at minus one and a half. That line, to me, is that he's playing, but who knows? Rico. Oklahoma. Okay. I like them even with the back. I just, maybe Arch ain't the guy. I'm just going to go with Oklahoma. Yeah, I'm betting on Oklahoma's defense more than anything. All right. Michigan at USC, final game of the night, or five-game card. USC's minus two and a half. Over-under is 57 and a half. I'll start. I'm going to take the over in this game. I like the over in this game. Dave? I'm going to take Michigan. I hope we brutalize them. Obviously, USC, is a very different team on the road versus home, and the Big Ten has seen this travel. It's a huge advantage for whatever team is home in these travel scenarios, but I'm going to go based on Michigan as just a tougher, rougher team on the line of scrimmage. I think we have a wide receiver who's starting to show himself as a potential one in Macaulay, and the more every game that Underwood plays, he gets better, so I just think Michigan, brutalizes a soft USC team. That's what I'm hoping for. Rico? Michigan. I agree with that as well. Very tough. Listen, USC's good. I was on them early. People kept being like, they're going to end the season not ranked. I was like, watch out for USC. Turns out they're not as tough as we thought. I do like Michigan here in this spot. Their style of play, I think, travels well, even across the country and early. Whatever it is, I'll take Michigan. What do you mean early? What time is this game? 7.30 p.m. All right, then I'm off on that one. That's okay. Good accountability. Yeah, you got a funeral in a minute, so you get your heads other places. Are you going to walk in and sit so everyone looks and turns back at you? No, no, no, no, no. Okay. Is it like your seat is saved up front, or are you going to sit in the back? No, I'll sit in the back. Okay.

Oregon, minus the seven and a half is what I wrote down last night. Seven right now. Under 55 and a half. TCU, K-State, over 56 and a half. UNLV, minus six and a half and over 65 and a half. Oklahoma, minus one and a half. Maryland, plus six and a half. Michigan, plus two and a half. Georgia, minus three and a half, which terrifies me with the Ole Miss look ahead on deck, but I just trust Kirby. Utah, minus five and a half at night. South Carolina, plus nine and a half against LSU. I like that. I like that Georgia pick. It's on my card. I think Auburn can't. I mean, they can't. Jackson Arnold, like, just, he holds the ball forever. He gets sacked like 10 times a game. Dave, your card. Michigan, plus the two and a half against USC. This game, I love tomorrow night. Washington, plus 10 and a half at home against Utah. Rutgers, I think it is tomorrow night. These two teams played last year. I took Washington. They dominated the game and lost. It was, I ranted about that game for about an hour. I think Washington smokes them. The over in Illinois, Ohio State, I already gave, 49 and a half. I like the over in Oregon. We already gave this. Wait, yeah, Oregon. Indiana, over 55 and a half. Iowa, minus three and a half at Wisconsin. I just think Wisconsin's horrific. I'm sorry, Dan. Texas, already gave out. Some of my writing here is getting a little bit touch and go. I like Auburn, opposite you guys, at home against Georgia. Arizona State, plus five and a half against Utah. I think that goes down a while. Arizona State always plays close games. I could see them winning that game. Maryland, plus six and a half against Nebraska. That was a good cover for Michigan State. That would have been devastating if they didn't come back. They were winning in that game versus Nebraska the whole time. The over in Arkansas and Tennessee, 68 and a half and Tennessee, 12 and a half. And Florida, plus seven and a half against A&M. I think Florida, that's a big win for them to build on. They kind of turned the corner last year a little bit. I think that game goes down to the wire. Yeah, I agree with that pick. I like that pick. All right, I'll do my card real quick. That was the moment Dave, on Saturday when you're like, if Michigan State doesn't cover. Yes. Just like, just because it was right after Vandy. It was like, holy shit. And they were covering the whole game. They brought in a backup quarter. Michigan State's quarterback, I think, said he doesn't give a fuck about their fans, which is a hilarious thing to say. Yeah. All right, my card. I have Texas Tech minus 14. I have Utah State. That's a late game, plus one and a half in Hawaii. I like Rutgers-Washington over 59 and a half on Friday night. I like, Dave, your personal revenge pick there. Florida State pit over 58 and a half. Maryland plus six and a half. UNLV minus six and a half. I'm with you on that, Rico. Georgia minus three and a half. And BYU minus one and a half. By the way, Dave, I heard a rumor that there's a chance we could be going to BYU. I wish I had known that before I talked all that shit about Cosmo. Yeah, so I think we're either doing the Holy War or ASU. But, I mean, we don't have to. I mean, it's. I talked a lot of shit about Cosmo. Yeah, I know. I said that I actually recommend it. My vote was the Holy War. I think that it will be there early. It's like, BYU, you kids aren't drinking. If we go to Arizona State, they got to be up. I know we love the coach, Dillingham, but we'd have those kids, like, party. What are they going to be up at? Like, 7 a.m.? Maybe. I don't know. Big noon kickoff. Arizona State is awesome. All right. Mortals. I'm taking Michigan. Michigan plus four and a half. Oh, love that. Yeah. same okay hey let's go i think this is bully ball city i think it's oh they're not totally trying to bully but you see chiron too he's like yeah the coliseum is gonna be sold out because we're here lincoln riley hated he's like i don't care what that guy says all right uh zoopy tennessee minus 12 and a half against arkansas that game should have a lot of points i wanted to i looked at that over it's like 68 and a half you need so you need such a perfect game for 68 and a half uh jackie uh utah minus six and ebo has maryland plus six and a half okay good i already had it on my card uh dave arizona state plus five and a half rico finishes off iowa state minus two and a half you look at listen the two years we were good in college our defensive coordinator to treat it like a boxing match like you got to get to the you you got to win the qualifiers and then get to the title shot when you're in the divisional race if you look at the title shot you're in the divisional race you're in the divisional race if you look at iowa state here they got a brutal run down the way byu arizona state tcu you got to win the qualifier to get to these title shots i like iowa state minus the two and a half against colorado you've been chasing iowa state yeah a little bit you quoted your nickels coach there yeah i like that what was the quote he was a big boxing guy he used to show us the mickey ward um goddy goddy fights yeah and then uh yeah and then uh he was like you got to win the qualifiers to get to the title fight like it was curry or plymouth state like we knew so we had to beat teams okay hank we had to beat teams to to get there and uh yeah so you got to be plus state just actually buried the hatchet with him from like 15 16 years ago reconnected with him so oh wow that's that's that's good what was the what was the fight about uh playing time uh a little bit years yeah so then uh we got to win the qualifiers to get to the title fight we were doing a video for my buddy going into the hall of fame and i reached i wanted to get all the people to say congrats and then i needed him and i reached out to a buddy i'm like listen just don't say it's me we don't like each other like get him to send you the video and the guy was like if you want if he wants me to send him the video you have him call me like we'll play nice bury the hatch i'm like all right so we had to have an awkward conversation but as it turns out you know little things don't matter that much so i love that a 16 year grudge over playing time i fucking love that rico he also left us we were building to it and we were like oh my god we're going to win the qualifiers championship thing he left to go take a head spot so but he turns out he's a good guy yeah what do you mean he was an assistant yeah and he got mad he went and took a head coaching job i did it on a whim we had to find out you know it was like word of mouth where'd he go wasn't really a team meeting uh where do you go from nickels to where we're already in the weeds it's where did he go well the school's closed now so uh mount ida but he's a good guy it's a good guy they closed because of him no no no okay you overreact a little bit you know yeah that's all it is yeah all right listen this is maybe the most it's uh 10 20 10 20 all right yeah so you're 20 minutes late no big deal this is the most artistic pick them we've ever done uh everyone is not gonna be happy please oh no oh no oh no oh no we're taking that thing down yeah we're taking it down we're taking it down all right see everyone good show
