SPEAKER_05:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

It's fun stuff. Let me tell you, getting old.

SPEAKER_05:

It's just I like how you're telling it to a guy who's wearing glasses right now.

SPEAKER_03:

Yours, Darla's eyesight's just so bad. So there you go. All right, everybody. Well, let's go ahead and go around the room. Uh, Virgil with a throwback hat. Yeah. That is technically now a throwback. Uh hey, clothed, don't complain.

SPEAKER_05:

See, so he gets it. He gets it. But I mean, if you want me to if you want me to take off this shirt, I will gladly do that.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh God, that's good. I like that. He is clothed. Don't complain. I gotta go get my glasses. Go ahead and talk about your hat, Virgil.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, tonight's hat's kind of an irrelevant one because we'll be going talking about that story later. This is the Rocky Mountain vibes, uh, the Pioneer League logo and the vibes on the back right here. This is one of the COVID purchases I made where I've broken my rule where I don't buy hats from places I haven't gone to. And um I like this one a lot. I will definitely still be wearing it regardless if they are um, even though they're gone. So it's still a nice hat. I like this one a lot.

SPEAKER_03:

I love that logo.

SPEAKER_05:

Tonight's just water.

SPEAKER_03:

I wore I'm putting a black one just so that way because we're in morning of that that uh ball club. How's that?

SPEAKER_05:

I thought because everyone else had a darker hat.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't really care for that. I wanted I wanted to get a Rocky Mountain Vibes hat. Uh the only one I do have is the one from Official League. Uh I don't know if they're dumping all their merch or not, but uh, I need to look and see.

SPEAKER_04:

I wish I would have gotten uh when it was uh new era 5950.

SPEAKER_03:

Jackson State just scored, by the way.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, Jackson State is not lying, so I don't know who you meant by that.

SPEAKER_03:

Not Delaware State, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, the Sean Jackson State.

SPEAKER_03:

Jackson State. Yep. So I like it. They finally scored a touchdown, so there it is. Um Mr. Mayor, what you got going on?

SPEAKER_07:

Um well with Halloween coming up, I figured I would start. Uh I'm gonna have a series of hats leading up uh on my hat of the day for tomorrow and for Saturday, but I figured I would break out the uh eerie Seawolves Frankenwolf for tonight.

SPEAKER_03:

I like that one. I have that one.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, this is the the 920. So uh good 920. Yeah, I've got uh for fitted Friday tomorrow. I will be dropping another eerie hat, and then I got another one for Saturday that's different from baseballism. So check my uh Twitter out for those to see what's coming. Uh, as far as what I'm drinking, I'm about halfway through a spotted cow from New Glaris.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh we have a whole case of that.

SPEAKER_07:

Kelly Kelly gave me a whole bunch when we were in Chicago, so I figured I would bring those camping. So I started with that, but uh I'm gonna finish off that shortly. And I've got one from Eric here, Tech Nine. Tech Nine?

SPEAKER_04:

I was just gonna say, isn't that like isn't he a he's a rapper from Kansas City, and that's one of the best because it has coconut and pineapple, two of my favorite.

SPEAKER_07:

Yep. So I figured this would be kind of like a dessert after the uh the spotted cow.

SPEAKER_04:

Have you had one yet? I don't did. I just send you the one.

SPEAKER_07:

You just sent me the one, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, so you haven't had that one. No, I haven't had that one, no.

SPEAKER_07:

And and and if if the show goes long enough and I need more, because I am camping, so I've got nowhere to be for five days. Um, I do have the lemon pie one over there in the fridge as well that you sent me.

SPEAKER_04:

You icebox lemon pie. You're not working, that's shocking.

SPEAKER_07:

Nope, nope. Uh that's right. Mrs. Mayor needed a break, and we haven't been camping. And my stepfather's like, let's go camping. So we're up in Marion, North Carolina until Tuesday.

SPEAKER_04:

So tell her that I needed a break as well, so I took this week off as well. Awesome. So, what you got, Eric?

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, he froze again.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's frozen. That's funny. I was like, is he doing that on purpose?

SPEAKER_07:

He did he did that the other night, and I thought he was like doing it on purpose, but no. He talks about me and my technical difficulties. Yeah, I thought he was just really reminiscing about the spotted cow for a minute, then it's like, oh, I was like, okay, there's an awkward silence, so all right, Garrett, go.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, so for tonight, since it's uh all about me today, you got the EP, the Eric Prophet, El Paso Chihuahua's hat.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, is that red on the back? Oh, yes. Oh, okay. I like that.

SPEAKER_05:

See, I was trying to figure out the side. I thought it was like, is he wearing two hats or something? Like he's gonna have a reveal afterwards.

SPEAKER_04:

Sorry, I didn't. What'd you say, Virgil?

SPEAKER_05:

I thought you were wearing two hats for a minute because I was trying to figure out when you had on the on the Chihuahua side, I couldn't couldn't read it completely. It looked like some kind of it looked like Oahu at first.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, yeah, no, it's just kind of the style that they had. So when I was in El Paso at the end of the season last year, 2024, picked up this hat. Uh, but tonight I am brand new, haven't had it before. Boulevard brewing out of Kans City. It's a strawberry sour ale, it's cask-aged, it's a Imperial strawberry sour aged in wine casks. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03:

That's good. That sounds delicious.

SPEAKER_04:

That is amazing. I want to have that. So that's uh they might probably because I got it from a liquor liquor store just down the street from me here. They might still have some more. I'll have to let you know. I haven't tasted any yet, but that's what I went with for my birthday.

SPEAKER_07:

And uh, I see Lynn said she was at New Glaris brewing on Tuesday. So shout out Lynn and Joe. Like I said earlier, I've got another eerie hat for tomorrow. So uh yeah, just check that out on my Twitter feed if you uh can. First drink, it's really good.

SPEAKER_06:

Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

I I've had several things that are aged in wine barrels that are uh uh sours, and they're usually pretty damn good.

SPEAKER_05:

See, I've never had a um wine aged sour yet. I've had like the bourbon barrel tequila barrel, like style. Yeah, so have I.

SPEAKER_07:

I do like a good sour though. If you get to Asheville, I think the functorum is still open. I think they have the Wickweed Funcatorium open still. Okay, uh that's the place to go check it out because that it it the name fits. The funk is all kinds of funky sours and aged stuff and all that's some good stuff here. What's up, Polly?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, that's not that sounds like my kind of place.

SPEAKER_03:

What up, Polly? Uh all right. I guess I'm the last one, huh? I am wearing a black Cleveland Guardians hat, uh, Nuera 920. RIP to the buys, baby. Oh man, it's sad. I granted, I get it. You know, the other two teams that left, so they were the only ones that were still there, and so they were the odd men out, and obviously with costs and you know travel and everything, you kind of saw the writing on the wall, which is kind of sad, right? Like to hear that you know, oh, by the way, I'm drinking uh cherry coke from Zexby's.

SPEAKER_05:

One of us did not see the writing on the wall until the announcement came out.

SPEAKER_03:

Exactly. Awkward. I wonder who that was. It's all blame old age.

SPEAKER_07:

Lynn sent me the news. That's first I'd heard of it. Lynn sent me that on uh Facebook Messenger yesterday.

SPEAKER_02:

I also love how Eric was like, we already knew Don. We already knew we already knew okay. Good for you.

SPEAKER_04:

So we are we we know most things, and then it comes through on the other chat. I'm like, Yeah, we already know that.

SPEAKER_02:

I was like, Thanks, Donald.

SPEAKER_07:

After you said that, I thought uh and and then I saw because what was funny is after I made my comment, I looked and like five minutes before I texted you guys, Paul posted on his threads, and I was like, Okay, well, Paul posted it five minutes. I should have seen that five minutes ago because that's exactly what it is. Yeah, Paul's running everybody out of Colorado, apparently.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, that's the thing.

SPEAKER_07:

They he's running himself out of Colorado.

SPEAKER_04:

I know he is. We're already at a point where there's not much west of where I'm at, correct? Right, and then they're getting rid of these teams, so they're going even more scarce until you get Arizona, Utah, Colorado.

SPEAKER_03:

So it's that middle part of the country that has nothing just to the west of me.

SPEAKER_04:

There's nothing barren land.

SPEAKER_03:

That's it. That's all we're gonna we're gonna call it the barren lands of uh baseball. There's nothing there.

SPEAKER_05:

I feel like it's not for a lack of trying either.

SPEAKER_03:

Like no, they tried a lot.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh what I call those people losers. That's what they are. They're losers.

SPEAKER_03:

Because they are losing out on great baseball. I was gonna say, damn, Donnie, you are just rough today, man. Yeah, this is nuclearist, man. That's pretty the beer's hitting hard. But shout out to uh uh Fooser Sports uh on uh on Instagram. Uh are you guys going to dress up for Halloween? Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04:

I am dressing up. I'm going as Donnie this year.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh yes, I am dressing up. Uh I'm gonna agree.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm I'm gonna be future Eric. How about that?

SPEAKER_03:

There it is. Um, I'm dressing up for I actually have a Halloween shirt for work shirt already, button-down shirt for tomorrow for work, and then in the afternoon when we're going trigger trading with the kid, uh, I am dressing up. The whole family is dressing up for Halloween. We dress up every year.

SPEAKER_04:

So, absolutely. Are you wearing your princess dress again this year?

SPEAKER_03:

No, not this year. I'm I'm doing something a little bit different.

SPEAKER_04:

That was so 2022.

SPEAKER_03:

That was so 2021.

SPEAKER_04:

2021, okay. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03:

Virgil, are you going uh well? Virgil's going in his birthday suit.

SPEAKER_05:

Plus, I'm not really doing anything, so because you're single? Yeah, exactly. You got nothing to do?

SPEAKER_04:

He could take his kids around somewhere.

SPEAKER_02:

Not my birthday suit.

SPEAKER_07:

Actually, I got my days wrong. I'm not gonna be doing an eerie hat tomorrow. I'm sorry. How tomorrow Halloween's tomorrow?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know why I keep thinking it's on Saturday, but that's what I was you're like leading up to it. I'm like, it's literally Let him be, let him be, let him be, just let him be three hours 45 minutes. It's Halloween.

SPEAKER_07:

Well, we were supposed this is what messed me up because I had it planned out. We were supposed to come up here yesterday, but it was raining so much yesterday that we delayed coming up till today. So in my brain, I'm thinking it's still Wednesday, but it's still all right.

SPEAKER_04:

So anyway, so if it's Wednesday in your brain, you can celebrate my birthday tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03:

But you do uh Donnie, but you do realize that we have our show, we have not changed the days in quite a while, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I just want you want to point that out. But to be fair, he has two other shows as well. True story. That is you're right, you're 100% right, but none of them fall on a Wednesday. That's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh see this is what Eric has to look forward to in 17 years. Forgetfulness. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

Forgetfulness, that's what you gotta look to look forward to. Uh, all right, guys. Um, well, uh, a couple of things happened already in uh the world of sports. So, very first one. Um, we'll hit up uh baseball here in a minute, but uh Kevin Garnett was one of them that was uh about to be at that 2019 uh poker game. Uh so more names keep coming back, keep coming out.

SPEAKER_05:

Are these names coming out because they were at the game or were they part of it? Because that's what the big question is right now. Because if you're at the game and not know anything, that makes you more of a victim than an accomplice.

SPEAKER_07:

Correct media doesn't care about that, they're just reporting. They've already crucified. I know they don't. I know I think the only reason the names are coming, I think the only reason names are coming out is because they were there. I don't think they're coming out because and and I'm not saying that.

SPEAKER_03:

Because Terry Rozier talked in uh Gilbert Arenas.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, people are starting to talk and their name in names, but that doesn't mean they were involved, it just means well if I was there, he was there, blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_03:

So also you got to remember, um, you know, Gilbert Arenas gave up everybody and there's cousin, you know what I mean? He he talked. I don't care what anybody says, that dude talked. You know what I'm saying? I was like, Y'all going to jail. I'm not. He that's the first thing he says, like, I want immunity, and here I go. Let's go. I'm talking. And so, anyways. Um yeah, so so that you know, there's a couple of people that have been you know named and they're coming out now. Kevin Garnett talking shit at the poker game would be wild. You're right. You are right, Zach. Oh my lord. Imagine him talking all that shit on at a poker game. Whew, have mercy. He talks shit out of Monopoly game. If I if you know, I can just see it right now. So snitches get snitches. Uh all right, so I posed I gave you guys two questions to think about while um you know before the before the show, right? Obviously, um one of them has to do with college, so we'll hold off on that one until Patrick gets here, right? But the first one is it's Halloween tomorrow. Okay. And I wanted you guys for also uh uh on the chat, both on Instagram and uh right here. What is your favorite or your top Halloween movie? Because there's a lot of them out there, right? And I want to know which one is it for you guys. I I got mine already, uh, but I want to know what you guys have also in the chat. I would love to hear the reason why that one is. So um, who wants to uh who wants to go first?

SPEAKER_05:

No, did you say Halloween movie or horror movie?

SPEAKER_04:

That's my question. I was gonna say, because I think mine's more horror than that's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

You you can do either one horror slash Halloween. They're okay, they fall on, you know.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

And also, I started thinking about this because I Darlene and I just recently watched uh it, the 2017 version. I was disappointed in it. I was bored with it. It was like it felt like there was no plot, you know. So I was like, eh, whatever. So, anyways, who wants to go? Uh Food and Fit, it's uh the thing, combo of horror and sci-fi. I I remember watching that movie years later.

SPEAKER_04:

So I have a runner up first. For me, is probably I like the scream, probably of original scream, but I'd say I know what you did last summer was pretty good. And then I like the knockoffs, uh, scary movies, you know, the ones they did with all uh making fun of the Wayne Brothers. But I would say probably the one I would say probably is my favorite would be House of Wax. Oh wow, the kind of newer verse, not it's not new, it's been out for a while. But I'm a big Paris Hilton fan, so um House of Wax, I would say is probably my favorite. So quick story about it. I was going to uh so I went two years to community college first before I went to KU and WSU, and it was finals week, and I had like a huge gap from my afternoon class all the way to my evening class to take my finals, and so I went over to the movie theater and watched House of Wax in the movie theater, and I'm not sure what was more scary, the movie itself, or the fact that I was in the theater by myself.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, the fact that you're in the theater by yourself watching a scary movie.

SPEAKER_04:

So mm-mm. So yeah, for me, I'd have to say my favorite's probably House of Wax.

SPEAKER_03:

That's a good one. I like that one. Uh I got 13 Ghosts, that's a good one. Uh Matthew Perry was in that one. You guys remember that one? 13 Ghosts? I don't remember that one.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_03:

Um gotta go with the classic Beatle juice. You know, that's such a good movie. Uh Michael Keaton, you know. Uh by the way, you know what school he'd go to?

SPEAKER_04:

Cleveland Heights.

SPEAKER_03:

Kent. Kent State.

SPEAKER_05:

I'll go Kent State the other one.

SPEAKER_03:

Can't read, can't write. Kent State. Drew Barrymore.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, Drew Barrymore. After Kent State, he worked for Mr. Rogers. He did for a while on the show, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Paulisa said Exorcist 1973, so Donnie must have been in that. He was.

SPEAKER_07:

I mean, I I the Exorcist is kind of it's okay. I mean, it doesn't, it's not one of those that I I think of as one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Does does does like the zombie movies like count like night of the living dead and things like that count as Halloween movies?

SPEAKER_05:

I was about to say night of the living dead.

SPEAKER_03:

The which one the original?

SPEAKER_05:

The original.

SPEAKER_03:

Man, I saw that. I I one of my classes, my majors communications, so one of my classes was film studies, and it was studying uh zombie and like movies, and that was one of the ones I had to watch. And man, that was such a good movie for what it was.

SPEAKER_05:

For the time, it was definitely a good movie, and the ending to that just by itself, still it to see that movie so much later, it'd still get a reaction out of me.

SPEAKER_03:

100%.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, that's what makes a good movie. Time like that's what makes a timeless movie like that.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't want to get too far off topic, but can you hit me with the breaking news? Oh.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me a second, I'm looking for it. I don't know where I put it. Virgil, do you have it?

SPEAKER_05:

No, I'm pulling it up.

SPEAKER_03:

There it is. Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, guys. Breaking news.

SPEAKER_04:

So, I mean, for our group chat, this was kind of already a point of discussion, but this just in Pete Thamel said that LSU and AD Scott Woodward expected to separate in the near future. Oh, so I know we kind of had a discussion about that today with Patrick, but uh from Pete Thamel, Thammel, however you say it, he said the LSU and their AD is about to uh break apart. So, because I know you guys had a lot of questions for him, and probably ask him when he comes on his thoughts of that whole situation with trying to find a replacement and everything, but they said the AD is gonna be gone here soon.

SPEAKER_03:

I had a conversation with him about it because I did some research on who exactly is the one who is in charge of creating the search for the uh head coach. Uh, you know, we'll talk about it when Patrick because I I want to give him because that's his uh school, so I want to give him the time, but yeah, uh it was interesting, anyways. Uh getting back to uh horror movies, um Virgil.

SPEAKER_05:

I talked about Nine of Living Dawn already, uh, but really the movie that first comes to mind was Silence of the Lamps. That was a good movie, and that's a movie that just kind of it pulls you in, and it feels like you really don't want to keep on watching, and it just keeps it keeps going.

unknown:

Right.

SPEAKER_07:

Polly's got a good one there. Children of the corn. That was a freaking I forgot about that one.

SPEAKER_04:

We've got to enunciate a little better.

SPEAKER_03:

Horror horror movies.

SPEAKER_02:

I can't I can't do it anymore. I can't. I'm sorry. Oh god, whatever a horror movie film took me. Sorry now. No, that's that's it. That's later. We gotta wait until after nine o'clock, okay?

SPEAKER_03:

Um hang my foot over the bed because the monster would grab dude. Same thing here. It's like if I ever woke up in the middle of the night when I was a kid and my foot was hanging out outside of the the uh bed sheet, you know, dude. It took every ounce of me just to be like cover it really quick and go right back to sleep. I I remember that. So, but yeah, I remember that. That's good. And yes, Eric, you're right. Gotta gotta make sure. Gotta make sure.

SPEAKER_07:

All right, Donnie. Uh was Virgil, were you finished, Virgil? Yes. Oh, okay. All right, just make sure you didn't have another one there. Um, for me, um the one I there's several too. Um I mentioned uh the other day, My Bloody Valentine is still one of the ones that that I love as a horror film. It's a it's a you know cheesy 80s style horror movie. Uh put your kids on Valentine's Day, and uh it's kind of like a Friday the 13th, but it's on Valentine's Day. Um that's one that's my go-to for horror film, but I still love, and the ones that really kind of get me good uh still a little bit are Friday, the original Friday the 13th and Nightmare on the Elm Street.

SPEAKER_03:

Good one. Uh the definition of a scary movie for Donnie is filing for bankruptcy. Yeah. Exactly. I I I love the fact that this is a running joke now. Yeah, exactly. Uh huh. No, it's not really a joke. It's a real stuff. Um is uh the nightmare before Christmas considered a Halloween movie, or is it considered a Christmas movie?

SPEAKER_05:

I always say yes to that.

SPEAKER_03:

Exactly. I was gonna say yes. It's both. I mean, it's a good movie, you know. Um, but I just never never know exactly when to watch it, right? Because we know the diehard Christmas movie. Um definitely not, and it's a Christmas movie. We're not in Christmas yet, but home alone is most certainly a Christmas movie.

SPEAKER_04:

No, you can do the same plot at the middle of the fourth of July. When did it take place? That doesn't matter. You can take place whenever you want. It took place in Christmas, so it therefore it falls on Christmas, so therefore you can take the same plot and put it at the fourth of July.

SPEAKER_03:

No one's arguing that the plot didn't start, it didn't happen on July 4th, it happened on Christmas.

SPEAKER_07:

Wait, we'll we'll get to this discussion in December. We've got horror movies now. Next month, we will all talk about planes, trains, and automobiles being a Thanksgiving movie, and then we'll get to the Christmas movies.

SPEAKER_03:

By the way, Stranger Things, it's that has to be considered a like a horror part of the horror/slash Halloween, right? I mean, that's because it's about to start again, the lot the final two chapters. Yep.

SPEAKER_05:

I've never seen that, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

You've never seen them what do you do? Neither do you have you, Eric. Oh my god, you guys are missing. It is so good.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh my god, yes.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, it's good. Nah, whatever. Listen, producer, watch it, Virgil. You're single, you don't have any time. There you go.

SPEAKER_04:

You have all the time in the world.

SPEAKER_03:

You have you have plenty of time in the world, so you can at least watch it.

SPEAKER_04:

You're not creating any brackets right now.

SPEAKER_05:

You guys don't think I do anything else besides those?

SPEAKER_04:

No, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

It's sports uh or uh spreadsheets for you.

SPEAKER_04:

What's the one with uh crop the crop circles?

SPEAKER_03:

Signs.

SPEAKER_04:

Signs, yeah. That one I remember watching Phoenix, that one and uh the ring. Those were two, a couple I remember also watching.

SPEAKER_03:

Zach, you gotta give it a shot, man. You gotta keep watching it, man. Keep watching it, it's good.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh man, I watched like five minutes of uh oh the where they killed the people with like a hundred different the game show with like a squid games? Yes. I watched like five minutes of that and I'm like I can't. I'm done.

SPEAKER_03:

Is it because it was is a foreign show?

SPEAKER_04:

No, no, I just it was I just couldn't get into it.

SPEAKER_03:

I I have that one I haven't watched. I haven't watched that one yet, so I gotta I it's on the queue. I haven't watched it either.

SPEAKER_02:

No uh no no get back.

SPEAKER_07:

I I've got one for you guys that that uh ronda and I rented on VHS when we were in college.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, we were from Blockbuster?

SPEAKER_07:

Uh no, this was from a local video store in Clemson. Family video. This this is like this is a very bad almost a black exploitation style, cheesy. This is pre-Chucky. Oh, I think it's a good idea. If you if you can do okay, if you can find it on YouTube, clips of it, it is so bad, it's horrible, it's funny as hell, but it is creepy as hell. It's called Black Devil Doll from Hell. I've seen it. My man Virgil. I've seen it. We rented that thing, and I was like, with just the name, and oh my god, that thing was crazy.

SPEAKER_05:

You really have to thank um Rift Tracks at Mystery Science Theater 3000 because that's all gets me in the rabbit holes to bad movies. But with the moment you said uh Chucky Black Exploitation, I'm like, I know exactly which we're about to talk about.

SPEAKER_07:

I mean, I I sat here, I I looked to see if I could find clips of I don't know if a year or two ago it came up in a conversation because I mean we're talking something that was probably 1988 89 that Ron and I I don't remember when it's was made either but that was a precursor to Chucky and that thing was creepy and crazy and and just silly so a mannequin on a killing spree and a mannequin doing a lot of other after dark things with people what and then killing them all right that's just that's just wrong uh what was the uh what was the movie with the killer vehicles a killer truck and Emilio Esteves D2 the Mighty Ducks that Maximal overdrive huh that maximum overdrive i think I think it might be but do you remember that it was like a semi truck or is it a no it was yeah there was like there were killer uh killer um vehicles because I thought when you said killer vehicle I thought Christine at first but that was just one car no it was multiple cars and it was uh Emilio Esteves was in it and you've seen uh any of the classics uh nosferatu uh the cabinet of dr uh calligri made in the mid-20s no oh lord lynn you're going way back Lynn yeah you gotta y'all talk about me come on um I've got another one for you guys this is a Sylvester Stallone um it's not a horror film per se but I guess it's kind of a gory film have any any of y'all ever seen the original Death Race 2000 no I've seen the new version okay you the new version sucks you're gonna go back and find the original one with Sylvester Stallone oh Zach you made my night without that one killer vehicles are called Septicons I think it's a I think I've seen bits and pieces of Death Race too the original Death Race the original Death Race 2000 they had these cars that was set in some futuristic time where these guys raced around the country and you got so many points for different types of people that you killed with your cars and they had all these cars built with like knives and all kinds of shit on the front of them. Yeah they're all like in jail or something um something like that it it it was fantastic but the fact that Sylvester Stallone did it before he was before he even did Rocky um or still a lot of questionable movies starting out let's just say this and I think uh it might have even had Keith Carradine in it was this pre or post his um his uh adult film career oh I don't know that because this was a 1975 movie so this was before Rocky you didn't know that no it had David Carradine in it I'm sorry David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone so what we were talking about that is true okay it's true okay yep very true uh so that okay I I like these movies that I have not seen obviously I'm not I'll be honest with you like I'm not really a uh horror or Halloween movie kind of guy you know what I mean I don't like gore and gore and violence for the sake of it it's gotta have another fan of Saw no not really I mean and not that I'm saying like Friday the 13th had a great story to it but it it it built up and and it was more subtle um because it made you like think about what was going to happen not just bam bam bam bah bam kill kill kill kill kill one that I don't I'm not sure that's been mentioned here the Exorcism of Emily Rose.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah I remember seeing that was pretty it's probably one of the scarier ones that I've seen what was the movie that came out not too long ago maybe five or six years ago the one where it was like you couldn't make a noise it was like the whole movie was about staying silent bird box yeah I mean I haven't seen it no no no no no it was because it came out with a sequel it was Quiet Place Quiet Place Quiet Place I wanted to know who directed that right because that looked like that was going to be kind of creepy but I never did see it who who directed um of course I forget now his name it is uh Emily Blunt's husband Krasinski Kaczynski oh Krasinski yeah Kacinski yeah Krasinski he did both of them yeah right which it was actually really good direct on uh that movie if have you guys seen that one it's uh it's uh it came out on Netflix or or uh prime it's called if they have you're watching are you watching the football game they have some up on the screen right now oh yeah they got horror team wolf team wolf really team wolf that that's not that's not a they were advertising movies and teen wolf was one Amazon yeah yeah like like Halloween movies or horror movies to watch on prime horror horror movies horror movies horror movies horror horror horror movies I like Ed's more of a great pumpkin Charlie Brown hey don't don't not great pumpkin as a yeah like I listen and no disrespect it's just I'm I'm just not yeah it doesn't do anything like the horror movies don't really do much for me man I don't know why I mean he has Polly as his kid now so he has to watch Charlie Brown gotta watch these kid the this kid friendly movies do horror movies anymore the horror yeah it's nothing but hocus poke's in Halloween time for you now hey well we'll do not knock hocus poke is probably you better chill they did I say they were bad at any point no no you're right you're right you're right you're right yes you are uh you're good it's a it's it's already a done deal it's Mia I wonder what she's doing actually because she's still up and tweeting our show or uh commenting on our show on Twitch already obvious I wonder what she's doing I can't tell you're not twit you're not commenting enough she's like what uh because I'm not a little girl yeah daddy I'm not a little girl anymore I'm seven years or how old have seven seven yeah seven now daddy not a little girl anymore bro speak you know not to get too much off topic but like the Ravens are about to fuck around and about to lose this game that's fine as long as we get some uh carries from H and I'm fine with it the just in the first quarter I'm telling you what are you talking about I'm like what are you talking about I don't know the Ravens are up 7-3.

SPEAKER_04:

What's going on here you I'm telling you I'm playing Donnie this week so it's it's the Donnie and Eric weekend so our football teams are playing each other and our fantasy football teams are playing each other I'm playing uh the wife saw I'm already going to lose this week again so it's all right oh Jesus head's a sweet talker to the ladies okay yeah that's right I was looking real quick because I was trying to see if there was some horror movies that were not coming to mind um The Crow did you guys see the crow?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh man yeah hell yeah we saw that was fantastic I didn't think that was that scary I just thought it was cool to see yeah I would have never count that as a horror movie yeah it's listed as an action Charlie Charlie uh Charlie and the chocolate factory actually supposed to be a horror movie believe it or not it is I'm like I didn't think it was but I was like oh another that I another couple that I that are older that I like I a lot of people think the shining is creepy and scary it's not really scary to me is it's a well done movie and it's a very good one it's not to me it's not one of those which maybe at the time it would have been um but it's not that scary and Texas Chainsaw Massacre that's a pretty good movie too but it's not one that I think of as like oh I love that as a horror movie.

SPEAKER_03:

Does Ellian fall into that one?

SPEAKER_07:

Not for me. That's more sci-fi to me than horror.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Well I feel like those two aren't really mutual exclusive they can you can they can be both I think they can be both but I don't see that one as horror as much I think that was more sci-fi than horror to me.

SPEAKER_05:

Well do you put a difference between horror and suspense see that that that's a that's a good question.

SPEAKER_07:

Because I the movie I think about as seven yeah seven I don't think of that as a horror movie though what about the the Blair Witch project that's horror that's horror horror yeah see seven I think was more of suspense graphic but suspense at the that ending just really effed me up yeah that yeah that's the original the original Halloween is very good I don't care too much for a lot of the others I probably haven't even seen a few of the last ones although I've heard the most recent one is actually pretty good compared to a lot of the others so he would probably done a channel um I have not seen any of the Jordan Peele horror movies yet oh my god get out okay not get out I haven't seen us yet and it's just more of I I can I I want to but at the same time it's like these are probably gonna keep me up if I do watch them. I'll tell you this get out will mess you up I want I want to watch his stuff too because I think he's very good I just haven't made the time for it when he did the remake Twilight Zone shows um I watched two or three of those and he did so good with them but I just haven't I haven't stuck with it and gone through all of the episodes actually he's so good at he is like obviously we think of him as a comedian which he also great comedian right but as a director or or of like you know like horror movies my god he is good I think that's what makes it so much better is because it's unexpected from him poly said one Virgil you must I don't know if you know that one all right that's another good great one right there that um made the oh okay I haven't I I know I haven't seen that one but uh oh the fog the fog now that's another one that was when it came out that creeped me out what the new one no no not the remakes are shit no but like the ending I did not like I think at the dad like the ending when I when I saw that it just messed me up you know what I mean and I just I can't watch those things anymore I don't know what it is man yeah uh Halloween two and three were were pretty good for me but I still like the original but the fog that's another one I forgot about that that one I remember watching that like on HBO when I was like 14 years old or something I was like damn this is creepy as shit here.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah yeah and Hal Holbrook man he was always in some some good stuff we've come up with a pretty good list of horror slash Halloween movies there's some some good ones man I didn't think about like a lot of them that just like any of the zombie movies you know like it that's the thing though like like not of the living dead that's you know day of the living dead right the night the day like those are horror movies right yeah the other ones the new zombie movies they're not considered really for me they're not considered horror right probably with the last like I mean zombie land like probably the I love zombieland though I mean it's zombieland double tap see I haven't seen double tap yeah see sometimes they get like with to me I don't remember I don't think I even watched all of Zombie Land I think I've seen pieces of it but um of course you gotta watch it stuff like that to me it it ends up being funnier than scarier in a lot of ways oh no like do y'all okay so I don't know if this would be a horror movie back to what you were saying Virgil um the uh oh natural born killers would you consider that a horror or just uh action just action I would consider that action could be I wouldn't consider the yeah because that's when you get into questions like do you consider pulp fiction a horror movie and something no right because I yeah it's yeah dude I know that's crazy just missed that one they were coming back Virgil until they missed the field goal to get it within one uh so another one it's not a movie but it's a show and I mean I guess it'd be horror because vampires I loved watching back in the day true blood yes Sookie Stackhouse yeah Bon Temp yeah that was also good series I got through a few different seasons that's the one I would I will try to go back again 14 yeah I think I tried at one point but but yeah true blood I would say is another one that I didn't mind.

SPEAKER_05:

Is there any series that I consider like that like I mean uh American Horror see I've only seen the first three American horror stories and then kind of stopped after that because that was that was Murder House that was the Asylum and Coven they stopped making them didn't they oh they're still I think the last one was probably maybe a year ago oh okay yeah it just again I mean I as far as horror though like there's there's not a lot of horror shows though yeah one I want to go back and see because it scared me as a kid but I bet you it has not aged well well since then it's probably uh more comedic now than horror uh Tales from the Cript oh my god I kind of want to go back and find and watch some of that yeah so those were oh oh uh Candyman oh no Candyman was that was good man I don't know if I could I that that's one it probably was a little scarier as I was younger.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't know if I'd find it as scary now but Candyman was good. I forgot about that one.

SPEAKER_03:

I want to watch it now knowing that um the actor had real bees in his mouth he did and he was uh yeah it's uh there was an article about this saying that um he he wanted real bees in his mouth for the scene and he was paid like an extra a thousand dollars for each sting that he took from it oh hell no I mean there's methods dedication to the craft but screw that yeah I don't know if I'd go for all that shit you got me messed up bro not happening no put these real bees in my mouth what the hell's wrong with you and you can't take the stingers out because then they'll they'll die so oh come on now Miami all right let's move on boys and girls do you remember you picked the Ravens to win this I know under protest I said I have under protest in the notes but I'm still I'm under protest I'd rather I'm okay with losing this one it make it will make me happy you know although what was the controversy by the way I and I don't remember this but what was the controversy with the the Ravens and and Lamar Jackson so last week um all the reports all the repression reports were saying that he was going to be slated to play in the Chicago um again Chicago last week and then it was either late Saturday or early Sunday um he was downgraded again to not play and everyone's kind of surprised why no one knew at the time and I think the NFL was investigating this too so I don't know if they were trying to rush him back for that game and he said I'm not ready or if the reports are saying that he was okay we're not we're not true.

SPEAKER_05:

So it was it was a mess.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh so they're trying to cheat got it okay cool that's all you needed to say yes and in ed terms yes they were trying to get away with cheating and it did not work that's all you had to say the Ravens cheaters got it okay uh that that I believe right there you know and so moving on you know I can't stand them anyways all right what do we think about the Dodgers and uh blue jays how about that kid I'm surprised um I'm surprised took two in I like they did but man they played they're playing good think about it I mean the blue jays have been hitting way better than the Dodgers the whole series and scoring a lot more runs it was just uh what pitching the Jays or what what pitching the Dodgers were gonna have to be able to to hold them enough to come back and win and I mean you give up two home runs the first three pitches it's like you I don't know if you're coming back from that but the Jays have been playing better offensively to me and yeah I think they didn't think this kid was gonna give them a lot and I hey credit schneider he he didn't go by analytics he's like you know what this is the last time this kid's gonna pitch this year we're gonna ride him and he did he went with his gut this kid's making 50 grand fifty seven thousand dollars a year I saw um did you see a time lapse of of his one at bat with a uh uh or his first at bat against O'Toni Otani can't say they were running the dollar amounts per second yeah and it was like he made four hundred and fifty seven dollars to like otani's forty seven thousand dollars during that at bat yep that was crazy this kid's gonna get paid though he's I was getting ready to say that he's gonna get paid I mean I knew of him because he played at ECU and they were in the same conference as Wichita State so you know I've seen him pitch before Virgil if you've seen him pitch against UAB I'm sure so we're probably a little more familiar with him than some people might be but yeah just crazy how he was in uh single A this year because when I was and I was thinking of this so when I was with you guys so that would have been May of 2024 so just last year but a year and a half ago for CBM when I was watching I was watching the American conference tournament yep Wichita State was playing ECU now he was hurt in that tournament so he didn't get to pitch at all and then he ended up getting drafted and whatever by the Blue Jays but yeah for him basically to go in and he played a little bit after he got drafted last year but then just basically starting in single A this year and it's funny how all the those teams are claiming him or whatever but then also like Tulane was trolling him and everything saying oh here watch LA this is how you hit him and they showed when they hit two home runs off of him last year or whatever when he was pitching for ECU and then somebody else comes in and or no it's actually uh Connor Norby who went to ECU as well and he's like you guys stay in your lane blah blah blah I'm like bro it's just a it's a joke a team having fun because their guy it was the same guy hit two home runs off of him in a game like hell yeah I mean I would flex that hell yeah flex the hell out of it I mean this kid just got the rookie record for most strikeouts in a game flexed the hell out of it absolutely you said it was it was Tolane that did that and they didn't use the phrase stay in your Tolane it was right there somebody might have said that but it wasn't Norby that's a good one um what I'm more surprised is there the Dodgers are only relying really on two hitters if you think about it which is Otani and Freeman yeah Betts has really struggled this series yeah he's been non-existent this is I think the Dodgers we were waiting for because yes they won the division but I feel like they didn't have as a good of year regular season as people thought they might and then it was just one where they just basically went through they swept the brewers in four so it's like okay they finally figured it out but now I think we're seeing a little bit more of that team that can win some games but otherwise struggled a little bit in the regular season I think we're finally seeing that now to see the only one the other the other player that I that I say has been pretty good has been pretty steady Kike Hernandez he's been consistent for him for sure but other than that like I mean it's been nothing also you also gotta hand it to the Blue Jays man come on now the Blue Jays have been playing outstanding I mean that's the thing the blue the blue jays like again I said the the offensively up and down their lineup they've been getting hits they've been I mean hell they had bases loaded a few times in one of the earlier games and didn't get any runs out of it because the Dodgers you know shut the pitching or pitching shut them down and got out of it and that's the thing the Dodgers pitching has gotten them out of giving up even more runs than they um than they have already I mean the Dodgers just don't have any offense.

SPEAKER_04:

None none who has Mark Andrews in our league I think that is Lichtenberg yeah because he's playing against me or no no no I'm sorry he played last week yeah yeah yeah uh because he already has two two touchdowns already does he yep he's caught both of them for Baltimore it's alright he'll choke into playoffs you'll be all right oh it's Lichtenberg versus Bson uh oh Zach I don't know if he's still on here um I saw I just wanted I checked comments just real briefly the other night see if Gorrell was on here looks like he did say something he hasn't been on tonight he's scared because Green Bay beat up Pittsburgh but I saw something about he was whining about the refs about something the refs didn't help them lose that game they were not going to win that game here's the here's what's happening now is kind of what's gonna happen is uh Steelers are gonna keep losing games they could potentially lose games and then here comes the uh the Ravens just gonna sneak by and win the division this division sucks this year like the AFC North is atrocious now I was super angry about that first half but that was one of the most beautiful fourth quarters that Green Bay played scored 21 in the fourth wasn't quite the 33 that Denver scored in the fourth but 21 is a pretty big uh fourth quarter um that they had so I was pretty pleased how that game the end of the game ended and I mean also having 20 straight completions from love helped with that Tuckercraft 143 yards as a tight end two touchdowns Jordan threw 20 straight completions and then had 360 yards and three touchdowns he completely just outplayed Rogers Rogers wasn't terrible but he just completely outplayed him but you could see him scrambling a lot because if Micah was right there if Micah was about to get him he would step up in the pocket and then Ray Sean Gary would sack him so Micah had one and then Rayhawn had a couple of sacks in that game but we've been talking about this for a while the the Pittsburgh offensive line that's their main weakness for for that team they have not been good they they really didn't do much uh last year to solidify it and then you know they they brought out the same line this year and then they thought that it was the quarterback play which you know granted yeah you know Aaron Rodgers is a bit you know of a of an upgrade over Russell Wilson and and Justin Fields but not by much and and it's showing that the offensive line is what happened.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh why don't you just get on we always tell him that he just wants a comment instead of just hopping on I know thank you Patrick um I know you jumped to football real quick I was gonna go back to Joe's comment if the Jays don't win this it'll be devastating not like the Jays will be here every year. I think you're wrong Joe I think the Jays are going to be here for a while Schneider's a hell of a manager he's gotten them to the playoffs three out of the four years he's been there. This team's Pillennial Guardians well I mean that this team's gonna I mean they've already got uh um Vladdy paid uh they're gonna get some of these other guys paid I mean you I mean hell they've got a pitcher that just went crazy last night that doesn't cost them anything yet he's gonna eventually get paid too but I think this is a team to to watch for a few years so I think they're on a good roll right now do you think a go seven yes I don't ask uh ask um Patrick the quincha when he comes back on okay when he comes on because I think he I think it does too I mean they've got Yamamoto going so it could I think this is the game Yamamoto cracks a little and by crack you mean he only goes eight and two thirds innings I just think they maybe they they get a few nine I think they get a few off of him and uh oh sorry that I saw that play developing I'm like damn he's wide ass open the world series and the players are as a whole seems like an indictment on analytics teams leaving uh their pitcher in and not uh relying on home runs uh and has been working a lot well I mean that again I go back to what Schneider's been doing Schneider has gone more with his gut in the World Series than analytics in my opinion and I think um Davey's still going analytics a lot more on the Dodger side yeah it's interesting to see that the two different dynamics of coaching dynamics right because one of us relying heavily on on Allen uh analytics and then the other one you know is using it but not as much and so you know it's interesting I I I I find that very uh very interesting did you guys see that um or here so no team that has swept their ace their or their LCS that has played against a team who went seven games in the their LCS has ever won the World Series because the Dodgers swept and the Blue Jays went seven no team has ever won that being the team that swept because they had to sit and wait.

SPEAKER_04:

The one that's seven games into the World Series has won every time well Dolphins just got fleeced on a terrible call that's what I was just sitting here thinking too yeah thanks I have oh he just called him an MF or two coaches because they tried to say leg whip or tripping and it was like he didn't really well he slipped and the dude jumped over him he didn't even touch him and then I wiped away a waddle like 36 yard reception this is my fantasy team we're talking about here we don't care about your little penalties

SPEAKER_07:

I thought he had my feet down on that one, but I guess not. What are you?

SPEAKER_03:

Tell me how you really feel. No, nothing. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Alright, Mr. Producer. You got the list for us?

SPEAKER_05:

I have the list, but um I thought we were waiting for I thought Mr. Larson would have shown up by now.

SPEAKER_03:

He can wish Aaron had no.

SPEAKER_05:

Alright, so let's go ahead and just jump into picks for um some of these college games and pro games we've got. So I actually have a um I've extended out the FCS picks. There was a lot of good ones. So all right. Yes. So we've got about like five to go through here.

SPEAKER_03:

He says he just got home. He'd be in in five.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, you guys are Eric's just trying to hype his fantasy team that's gonna get smoked in week 10.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh unless I'm playing Rhonda, then that's not gonna happen. Just like uh OU against Texas, like that type of smoked where you thought OU was gonna win. That one.

SPEAKER_05:

Wow, tell me how you really feel many surprise you're talking about that one, not the more recent one, like OU versus Ole Miss.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, no, Ole Miss is actually a good team, and thanks a lot on that. I picked OU and lost on that one. I missed uh obviously Tuesday. Who won?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Patrick won on Overunder.

SPEAKER_04:

Really?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Who'd he beat?

SPEAKER_05:

Me.

SPEAKER_03:

Nice. It wasn't you. Uh the only one that was under 500 out of this whole group was that guy, the old guy right there. Uh you were in third place. You got your over under right.

SPEAKER_04:

You got the under under right, and I didn't. No, my college games were pretty bad.

SPEAKER_03:

We were both, well, was it 20 and 15, I think it was, or 21 and 14, something like that?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh 20 and 15.

SPEAKER_04:

20 and 15. And the NFL games didn't go as good as they typically do.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, the NFL games all over were all over the place. I was like super surprised, like the way some of these things in the speaking from first place.

SPEAKER_05:

On the NFL, you only missed four, so not terrible compared to some other people.

SPEAKER_04:

On our family picks, Shannon, Samantha, and I all finished tied for first, but then Samantha won the tiebreaker on the uh we picked the total amount of points for the Monday night game, and she won that because she had the least she, I think she picked like 42, and the final score was like 35 combined.

SPEAKER_05:

Fairness wild. All right, so we've got quite a few spread games to go through here, also. So let's go ahead and start with our first one. And Patrick, we'll just go catch up with you later on this. Penn State at Ohio State, which at the beginning of the season was probably would have been a good matchup, a big marquee matchup everyone care about, and now it's a Ohio State is a 20.5 point favorite. Um this game is 43.5, and Ohio State at 88.1%. So the question is can Penn State cover 20 and a half?

SPEAKER_04:

No. No. Maybe if Allard was in, I know they wouldn't win it, but possibly with him. But since he's not even in, I'd say no. Ohio State. Also, Zach should probably worry about this week and not look ahead to next week. He might get beat this week looking ahead.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, like Mark Andrews on page for scoring what, maybe seven or eight touchdowns right now.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I mean, the the referees are helping as well, so let's not. Uh Patrick just gave you Ohio State covers.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I think Ohio State covers.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't with how bad oh, how bad Penn State, you know, is looking right now. I'm sorry. I I want to like Penn State a lot, but it's just whoo Lamar just got uh manhandled.

SPEAKER_07:

I got a feeling that team's giving up.

SPEAKER_05:

I swear it's it's death, taxes. Lamar holds onto the ball way too long.

SPEAKER_03:

It's all it's always been his uh his thing.

SPEAKER_05:

It's as big as weight mess. Like Jesus though. Right when right when you're being chased, that should have been when get rid of it. Just get rid of the ball. Don't try to cut or dump off to somebody that's on the side.

SPEAKER_03:

Like he's always trying to make a play, and sometimes the best play to do to make is get rid of the ball.

SPEAKER_07:

He always tries to turn back around, like right here. Just keep going the other way, get outside the pocket and throw it away.

SPEAKER_04:

Chris Jones plays for the Dolphins. Number 95, Jones says on his jersey.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, he switched teams midseason. Nice, good. Actually, I think he just played for Miami this week in the mouth, and then he's gonna go back and change.

SPEAKER_05:

On the defensive line, too. I mean, Jones is such a just such a unique name. You know, it couldn't be anybody. All right, next.

SPEAKER_03:

Can I ask you something real quick here? What now that now they're watching this this dolphins and ravens? Harvard hasn't really done anything for us such a long time with this team, as far as like you know, getting them to consider them to be a championship caliber, and yet every year he keeps coming back, and they he's still like one of the most safest uh uh head coaches. Like at what point do the Ravens will be like, all right, we gotta make a we gotta make a change here?

SPEAKER_05:

Well, this season will be kind of a good way to see how secure his job really is. Like I said, I don't think he'll be gone this season, but I think that leash will be a lot tighter.

SPEAKER_04:

Isn't that like a college coach though, that they're typically like a 10-win team year in and year out. They're not getting to the playoffs or no advancing in the playoffs or anything, but as long as they're winning 10 games or I know obviously there's way more in NFL, but just if you look at it like a college coach, he's winning quite a few games, getting him in the playoffs, but so maybe that's all they really care about.

SPEAKER_03:

And I get it. Same thing with uh with Tomlin in uh Pittsburgh, right? They get into playoffs, but they have not won a championship in in how long?

unknown:

Right?

SPEAKER_03:

And you're supposed to be supposed to be considered like you know one of the top tier teams in the in the NFL.

SPEAKER_05:

So what you're saying is that Harbaugh needs to lose to UCLA to get fired.

SPEAKER_03:

Yes.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

I like it.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game we have Vanderbilt at Texas.

SPEAKER_03:

Is this a straight up?

SPEAKER_05:

This is a straight up. Texas is a two and a half point favorite over under 44.5, Texas at 70.4 percent. ESPN analytics loves Texas.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, sure they do whatever, it's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

Vanderbilt Texas ESPN loves the SEC a lot. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04:

Vanderbilt straight up.

SPEAKER_03:

Vandy.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, I'm picking Vandy also.

SPEAKER_04:

Because outside of that Alabama game, they've looked really good.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, I think the Missouri game, um I honestly think the Missouri game they got lucky in because Missouri defensively kind of had them handled until they finally broke. But um, I would still go with Andy on this. But I will also say Diego Pavia, stop with the Heisman shit. You're not even like the best running quarterback with a school that's gold that has a higher standard of getting into admissions.

SPEAKER_03:

Wow, you really are hating on the guy.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm sorry, I I don't I I don't like campaigns. I don't Haynes Keane is such a better player, and he's getting not even close to recognition he should be getting compared to Pavio.

SPEAKER_03:

Because he doesn't go to his name is not Pavio, he doesn't go to Bandy.

SPEAKER_05:

That's why.

SPEAKER_04:

Do we need to let in some of these uh conference championship winners?

SPEAKER_03:

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_04:

Memphis right now is projected to get in from the American.

SPEAKER_03:

That's part of the deal, right? If you win your conference, I get beat by UAB.

SPEAKER_04:

Come on. Um, I get it. I'm with you, but they would get beat by they could they would get beat by Clemson by double digits.

SPEAKER_03:

I um listen, I understand your your argument that they're not a good team, but they winning they're if they're gonna win the their conference, they have to get in. It's part of the deal.

SPEAKER_04:

But they're not Tulane's been more of a I have a better feeling type about them type team in the past when they've won the American. But this when you you lose to UAB, I granted they were no longer coached like that week or whatever by Dilfer, but that was just pathetic that game. And then I say put out those if it started right now. Well, guess what? It's not starting right now.

SPEAKER_05:

But I thought you didn't care about those.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, if that's what it's gonna be, because who else is gonna win? I mean, if Tulane's not gonna be a factor, I don't think, this year. Who else is gonna push them in the American?

SPEAKER_03:

I wonder why you're wearing an ECU hat.

SPEAKER_07:

And that's why you got to pacify these uh group of five schools, too.

SPEAKER_03:

So I listen, I understand what the argument, right? They're not good, but what happens if let's say that you know there's gonna be a year where the ACC, which is a mediocre conference compared to the SCC at the Big Ten, uh, they don't have good teams. He's not wrong.

SPEAKER_07:

I know he's not. This goes back to when you had the BCS and you had a potential lesser team going undefeated and they were being left out because they were a lesser team. So now they're like, well, we gotta make room for those guys, and it is what it is. You know, it's a it's a first round buy for somebody, essentially.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. They earned it, they gotta make it. You know what I'm saying? So all right, producer, moving on.

SPEAKER_05:

Is Patrick here? Did I mess up?

SPEAKER_03:

He's here, he's here, he's here, he's he's setting up, he's setting up.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Next game, speaking of a um speaking of ACC, Miami at SMU. Miami's a 12.5 point favorite over under 50.5, Miami at 70.1%.

SPEAKER_03:

That's another team that has underperformed this year. Yeah, they had a bad week last week. Yeah, they did. That's a bad loss.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, because they should be undefeated right now and still at the top.

SPEAKER_03:

I still believe in them though. I I still believe in them. I I I'll I'll take I'll give me uh give me Miami this week. Yeah, I'll take the U.

SPEAKER_07:

Because I don't believe in SMU.

SPEAKER_03:

No, no, that's the whole thing. I think it's more of an indictment on SMU than it is on Miami.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, Patrick, Miami versus SMU.

SPEAKER_08:

Um I'm still working on my audio, so sorry guys. Um, but give me Miami.

SPEAKER_03:

You you sound perfect, dude.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, my my microphone isn't coming in, so does it sound clear?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, so it wouldn't say perfect and him in the same sentence, but yes, we can hear you.

SPEAKER_08:

Happy birthday, Eric. I love you. I know, right? Like damn.

SPEAKER_04:

I love me too.

SPEAKER_07:

We know that for sure. That's a damn fact, right there.

SPEAKER_08:

I know that's that's a goodisputed fact. Yeah, I knew that. Like, that's like undisputed, like uh Adam Cole.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Patrick, I saw that shirt, and I honestly thought it was a Baylor shirt, and we were about to have words.

SPEAKER_08:

So I'm glad I was celebrating Brian Kelly out day.

SPEAKER_04:

He he couldn't quite spell Baylor on that. Virgil's a little lacking on his spelling.

SPEAKER_07:

You know, with with Brian Kelly's accent thing, this is for Patrick. It's like Brian Kelly, bye you.

SPEAKER_00:

No, I'm I'm like, you know, it's about time to come for me to come back to the program, baby. You know, Coach O's about to come back.

SPEAKER_05:

I hope he does. I'd watch that.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, I'm I've watched a hell out of that. Coach O's available. He's Coach O's available.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game we got Duke at Clemson. Clemson is a two and a half point favorite over under 55.5. Clemson at 59%.

SPEAKER_04:

Give me Clemson. Give me Clemson, of course.

SPEAKER_08:

Who is it Clemson against who? Duke. Ooh.

SPEAKER_07:

Mrs. Mayer says happy birthday, Eric. She's right. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03:

Man, give me Duke, bro.

unknown:

Sorry. Happy birthday. Happy birthday.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_08:

Happy birthday, Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

Thanks.

SPEAKER_03:

No, um give me Duke and James Franklin to uh Clemson. Yeah, listen, get listen, give me Duke.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm going with Duke on this. I think a lot of people are sleeping on that team.

SPEAKER_07:

I heard somebody talking about Dabo to LSU, and I'm like, Y'all shut the fuck up, man.

SPEAKER_05:

That ain't happening.

SPEAKER_07:

That ain't happening.

SPEAKER_08:

Let's go. Dabbo to LSU. With the mess that's going on there right now, they're not gonna get Lane, they're not gonna get Dabo, they're not gonna get probably even Coach O.

SPEAKER_03:

Lane Kiffy is like, oh no, no, no, I'm not going there.

SPEAKER_08:

Realistically, at that point, who who would go there? Yeah, I mean, you're making the Florida job look good right now, which is sad.

SPEAKER_07:

The thing is, they need somebody that isn't a big name, they don't want him somebody that's not a big name, but that's what they need. Well, the governor wants a big name out there, bro.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, no, I think the problem is that with Governor Landry coming out and saying we're not we're done with the big contracts and we're gonna have to do a incentivized contract. Which top name is gonna do that when they can get a big contract somewhere else?

SPEAKER_07:

That's my point. He's he's getting if they pull it off and not get a big name and and establish a contract that's not a big contract, that's gonna open the door for future teams to do the same because a lot of people are with these last few, like you know, Franklin and them guys. The people are the the teams and the schools and the landscape that's changed, they're not wanting to keep doing that.

SPEAKER_03:

That's what they said about giving a full contract to a quarterback that's gonna change the landscape. And look how that worked out. True, true. So yep. All right, Virgil.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game we have Undefeated Navy, which, yes, Navy's undefeated, in case you guys did not know, versus North Texas. North Texas is a six and a half point favorite over under 65.5, and uh North Texas 78.1 percent. So can Navy keep their undefeated streak going?

SPEAKER_03:

Did I just hear that the quarterback for North Texas did not start a single game in high school? Correct. Correct. That's wild to me. And now he's leading in in what passing?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Who was ahead of him, by the way? And where are they?

SPEAKER_04:

Right, like what quarterback who was that start like, yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Um get on that, Virgil.

SPEAKER_04:

For me, um I it's not who I'm gonna go with, but I'm hopeful that Navy would win to stay undefeated, so then when they go to Notre Dame next week, then we can beat them. Uh, and then Navy's, you know, the better of the two schools. Oh, that's right, Zach. Navy's the better of the two, you know, Navy Army. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh, but no, honestly, I think that North Texas will win this one.

SPEAKER_07:

Eric's gonna have a Eric's gonna have some uh knock at his door with a knock knock team or something.

SPEAKER_05:

You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. Eric Profit does not support the troops.

SPEAKER_04:

Navy is better. I didn't say anything I just said navy's better than army, and I'm talking sports here.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh my god. I'm just saying I heard I heard you didn't like navy. You said it was better than army, so I mean, like, I'm just I'm just reporting what I'm saying here. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_08:

Uh so uh I believe Eric Morris is the is the head coach of North Texas.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_08:

Um, the future head coach of Oklahoma State, go pokes.

SPEAKER_05:

I would I would love that one.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, go pokes. Um, listen, I'm going with my guy Eric Morris, and uh you know, in North Texas.

SPEAKER_04:

Who would you rather have Eric Morris or Colin Klein? Eric Morris.

SPEAKER_05:

Probably Morris, honestly. And that's nothing against Klein, it's just I think Morris Morris has already been coaching, especially North Texas, and it's already got him at a level.

SPEAKER_04:

That's I mean, everything against Colin Klein, he wore purple, so but but Virgil may like Colin Klein because he wore purple.

SPEAKER_08:

So wait, who did you pick again, Patrick? What's that?

SPEAKER_05:

Who did you pick again? North Texas.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I was just explaining why you might like purple for more reasons than one, but that's yeah, but sure. Um, I'm gonna go with North Texas.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh gosh, I have to do this again. You're gonna hear first. Patrick Larson does not support the troops either. Donnie, who do you pick?

SPEAKER_04:

He's a I was gonna say he's afraid to not pick.

SPEAKER_07:

No, I this is a tough one to call, but I'm gonna go with my friend Edward. I've known since the first grade, who uh is is a Navy grad Naval Academy graduate, uh Navy man, and uh yeah, I'm going with Navy. I love the troops.

SPEAKER_04:

Is this in uh Denton?

SPEAKER_05:

Denton.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. That would actually be a good one. So it's really easy to get to if you just hop on 35 South. As you're going to Dallas, you just go right by their stadium. That would actually be a good one. What time is that game?

SPEAKER_05:

That is I think an uh 11.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh 11, excuse me.

SPEAKER_04:

11 in the so I could leave at like four in the morning and get there 10-ish, and that'd be a good game to see. That would be a good game to go to. That's not fake, it's completely real.

SPEAKER_07:

I I think you should I think you should give that to yourself as a birthday present. Go to that game.

SPEAKER_05:

That is the time zone the game is happening in.

SPEAKER_04:

It would, I don't know. It's just I think it's really cool that you as you drive straight down to like if I'm going to see the Texas Rangers or going down to Houston or whatever, you go just literally right by the stadium on I-35.

SPEAKER_05:

Do it. Okay, I am going on Texas also.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, breaking news. Virgil does not support our troops as well.

SPEAKER_05:

Why would you spread lies like that?

SPEAKER_02:

I like that. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Disgusting. Spreading misinformation. Oh man.

SPEAKER_07:

Fake news. Fake news.

SPEAKER_05:

Virgil does not support the troops. Yeah, we can call the we can call the end of that bit. Yeah. I think my dad was a sergeant major. I don't think that's gonna fly well, but we'll go over that.

SPEAKER_07:

My grandfather was in the navy too, and he he's disappointed in you.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

My dad would be picking disappointed if I picked navy act, to be fair. Who who did Ed pick? He picked um or did you? No, he picked North Texas. He started with North Texas.

SPEAKER_03:

I was gonna say, how did he? Because I I said it right before the bit started, baby.

SPEAKER_05:

So the reason why I didn't do it for Ed is because I did not think of the bit wallet when Ed picked at the time.

SPEAKER_08:

Suckers.

SPEAKER_05:

So he just listened.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, that's reverse racism.

SPEAKER_05:

What what that never mind. Speaking of reverse racism, the next game is Indiana versus Maryland.

SPEAKER_00:

Interesting.

SPEAKER_05:

Indiana, and why do you think that's related? I don't know. You have to figure it out yourself. Indiana's a 21.5 point favorite over under 50.5. This is a spread game.

SPEAKER_03:

I was just gonna say this is not a straight up game, right?

SPEAKER_05:

No, it's a spread game. I missed that earlier. And Indiana's at 90.4 percent. So can Maryland beat the spread of 21 and a half?

SPEAKER_04:

This is no Indiana. No, they can't.

SPEAKER_05:

Patrick.

SPEAKER_08:

Indiana covers. Okay, get that pack of Signetis out.

SPEAKER_03:

Indiana covers and then covers big. Next game. Is that Signetis?

SPEAKER_07:

Is that Signet 100s? Signeti Reds. Signeti Reds, okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game we got Georgia versus Florida.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, geez, that was slaughter.

SPEAKER_05:

Georgia is a seven and a half point favorite over under 50.5, and Georgia 79.6%. And really, the only reason I kind of put this game on here is because I want to see if Patrick actually picks Georgia or not.

SPEAKER_08:

You're cruel.

SPEAKER_03:

I am who are the games again? Georgia and who? Florida. What was that? Who's drilling? Yeah. That's not that's the drill, that's the air.

SPEAKER_07:

No, Rhonda, Rhonda was moving the uh vacuum and she hit the button on it.

SPEAKER_03:

He's purposely vacuuming in front of you so you would so you stop the show.

SPEAKER_08:

That was a clean move.

SPEAKER_04:

Did he not grab his face mask on that?

SPEAKER_03:

Apparently not.

SPEAKER_04:

Georgia.

SPEAKER_07:

Give me the dog. Yeah. I hate to do it, but I'll gotta take Georgia.

SPEAKER_08:

I I I don't like it. There's a well, you know what? There's a game every week that everyone picks the, you know, where one person picks, makes a different pick from everybody else, and I'm rarely that person, that one person. Give me the gators. Let's go with it.

SPEAKER_01:

I already have to go.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, rivalry game. Uh you know, form goes out the window, and Georgia is susceptible sometimes to this. But I think Gunnar Stockton's gonna be up for this, and I think the Georgia probably will win. But uh for content, let's go for uh Florida.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game's another move, Cottons.

SPEAKER_08:

Let's see if let's see if it plays out, you know.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, both sometimes those those those those unique picks work out in your favor.

SPEAKER_07:

He'll win the week for that pick because of that pick.

SPEAKER_08:

Right. Yeah, no, well, um, but Gunnar Stockton has like family reasons why he's gonna be up for this game.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, so it's personal for him.

SPEAKER_08:

It's very well, and in all honesty, it really is personal for him, uh, from a loved one passing, unfortunately. But um, but um, so I think Gunner Stockton's gonna be up for that game, but I'm still gonna go with Florida.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Next game's a spread game. Notre Dame at Boston College. Notre Dame's a 28.5 favorite over under 56.5. Notre Dame 97.2%.

SPEAKER_08:

So oh, I don't I don't want to speak in front of Eric. Give me the spread again.

SPEAKER_05:

28 and a half.

SPEAKER_08:

I think Notre Dame covers. In fact, I think Notre Dame's gonna have two 100 yard rushers for the day.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm going to Notre Dame on that.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah. I mean, I I think that I think that there could be they their their two running backs could have both get over 100 yards to get to that Boston College defense because Boston College is terrible.

SPEAKER_04:

Aeneas Williams and CJ Carr both 100 yards rushing? That's right.

SPEAKER_08:

Nice. That's it. You know, take the love out of it, but you know, it's whatever. Uh give me, give me Boston College.

SPEAKER_03:

Every time. Can I can I just make a stat real quick on this uh I'm just bucking? I said it just to mess with Eric. Come on now.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, I won't I won't say it.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me the stat though. Give me the stat.

SPEAKER_05:

Every cover you have put against Notre Dame to cover, you have lost.

SPEAKER_03:

I know. Yeah, just I'm not picking, I'm picking Notre Dame. I'm just messing because Eric, you gotta see Eric's face when I said it. It goes like this.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, could we do an analogy that Ed is to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, like like Donnie is to the Kansas City Chiefs?

SPEAKER_05:

Well, no, because he picked the Chiefs last week and they won. So yeah, yeah, but that's who the Chiefs were playing, though.

SPEAKER_04:

That's like three straight times they've tackled the Dolphins receiver around their shoulder pads, and it looks like they're grabbing a big red the head.

SPEAKER_03:

And they still don't call anything against them.

SPEAKER_05:

Man, I that's just well, how much would you associate the fact that they had to travel down south for this game?

SPEAKER_04:

Melvin Gordon?

SPEAKER_08:

Man, I can't believe we're gonna lose to official league this week. Golly.

SPEAKER_05:

It's too early for that.

SPEAKER_04:

Don't even start that with the lineup they didn't even set.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't yeah, don't start with that because you haven't no, don't, don't. No one's gonna believe it.

SPEAKER_05:

This is pretty much a bye week for you. The only time it wasn't a bye week for Donnie where he almost struggled with the speed up.

SPEAKER_08:

Official league's already scored 10 points with Jalen Waddell.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow. Do we need to put it?

SPEAKER_07:

Do we need to put Official League on blast on their Twitter about their favorite? We should because I've messaged I've messaged that account three times through the app and got and they haven't changed the lineup yet.

SPEAKER_08:

They're gonna change it this week because I'm playing them. That's the way it always works.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, that's the whole goal. We're we're trying to get you to uh to get them to uh do it before yours. Well Eric is Eric is on it, don't worry.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, Eric's gonna Eric's gonna be messaging them relentlessly, even though I've been so nice to him. You don't care. No, well, I know he doesn't care, he's never liked me.

SPEAKER_07:

Not Boston College of Notre Dame since it's Eric's birthday, give me Notre Dame.

SPEAKER_04:

Since otherwise, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter. Do you know my hat today is because it's all about me?

SPEAKER_08:

Uh I presume that I presume that the second I got on, Eric, that did not take you long. I woke up this morning and thought that you thought the day was about you.

SPEAKER_01:

It is always.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, yeah. I woke up this morning and I said, It's Eric's birthday. He's thinking about himself today, all day, every day.

SPEAKER_05:

We already know.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, he wears it all the time. Um I love Phil's comment. He's a veteran of the Cold Wars, Cola Wars.

SPEAKER_04:

Crystal clear Pepsi.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I love Crystal Pepsi, man.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, you so did I bring bring that back. I'm telling you, when they brought it back, the when they've brought it back every time, I have stocked up. It's Ollie Gordon.

SPEAKER_04:

I know he knew what he was doing from where I thought it was Norton Gordon. Anyway, give me Northern name or is it Carly Ursay Gordon?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Eric, any analysis you want to give on this game?

SPEAKER_04:

So it's in uh Boston College, correct?

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Not that that's gonna have a big factor, but it could because it's on the road. But also they could potentially be looking at a possible. I think if Navy wins, they'll be ranked, and then so they'll have a ranked matchup against an undefeated Navy team next week that they could potentially be looking ahead. Now they're not gonna lose the game. Those are two factors that if they don't cover, that's possibly why. Uh, but no, I think outside of that, Boston College, what one and seven, they're not good. Who's their coach?

SPEAKER_01:

Boston College is Bill O'Brien.

SPEAKER_04:

Bill O'Brien. That's that's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_05:

I thought he moved off.

SPEAKER_04:

No. It's Melbourne, but yeah, no, give me another dame to cover. He probably wishes he had.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, right. And um, Ed, did I hear you change your pick?

SPEAKER_03:

I didn't I just say that I said it on purpose to for to mess with Eric. He did.

SPEAKER_05:

This press you to serious business. You do not joke around with picks like that.

SPEAKER_07:

I told you give me Notre Dame, but I said just once you say it, he starts typing it. Man, you you gotta watch it. You have to be like you need to message virtually ahead of time.

SPEAKER_05:

I removed those keys from my computer because I do not make mistakes on this one.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I picked Notre Dame to cover. Come on now, it's Boston College.

SPEAKER_07:

So uh real quick, I like that uh we'll keep going, but just the chat. I love the uh the tab and the Pepsi Light. If you guys know any other drinks that uh like that that you you either wish they brought back or you just want to point out how bad it was, throw it out there.

SPEAKER_03:

I love I miss to this day I mid Justa. You guys don't remember that one?

SPEAKER_07:

How about Surge?

SPEAKER_04:

Surge if they had that back, they would sell that at the wind surge games.

SPEAKER_08:

Absolutely. Ed, when you'd get some, would you have just a little bit?

SPEAKER_03:

Just a little.

SPEAKER_05:

I'll give you that. Is Mr. Pib still a thing?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, yes, yes, it is still a thing.

SPEAKER_08:

Now is Mr. Pib extra.

SPEAKER_03:

It's not even don't don't don't hate on Mr. Pib, though. Mr. Pib is good. Mr.

SPEAKER_05:

Pibb, I never had it, I just didn't know about it.

SPEAKER_07:

The thing is, you gotta question the establishment you go into if they don't have Dr. Pepper and only have Mr. Pibb. You gotta think about your choices at that point.

SPEAKER_08:

You gotta think about your life choices. Listen, Dr. Pepper all day, and uh you know, for me, but I would drink Mr. Pib if they haven't.

SPEAKER_03:

Mr. Pibb is the poor man's uh Dr. Pepper, ain't no wrong with that, man. I thought Dr.

SPEAKER_08:

Thunder was the poor Pipper Thunder is the poor man's Dr. Pepper. That's true, yeah, or Dr. K or Dr.

SPEAKER_07:

K at Kroger, or you know, Food Lion has the best knockoffs, man. Do they publics? Well, I say that facetiously when I say best, I mean like they have the names like the Dr. Thunder at Food Lion.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. Man, listen, I even love the cereal that comes in a bag, not the box. Okay, the cereal that's where you know the stuff that stuff is good.

SPEAKER_07:

We can't even go spend money on cardboard, we're just gonna put it in a bag and put it on the shelf.

SPEAKER_08:

I love the way Donnie's talking, like he actually shops at Food Lion. That man shops at Whole Foods.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, jolt cola, all the sugar and twice the caffeine. Yep.

SPEAKER_07:

I go where the deals are, man. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Ooh, filet mignons on sale.

SPEAKER_07:

Hey, all right, I remember Big Red, but I don't know about the slogan, but go ahead. Keep going, Verge.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh oh, okay. I just I just saw that slogan. Uh, Texas Tech at Kansas State. Texas Tech is a seven and a half point favorite over under 52.5. Texas Tech 64.4%. Uh, just to give you guys some context to this, Texas Tech is on a backup quarterback.

SPEAKER_04:

You didn't need to give them that context. They should know.

SPEAKER_07:

Well, I was questioning why he's got this game on there, so that makes sense.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I was gonna say, how'd you get that? How'd you get that insider info on that? Uh Virgil.

SPEAKER_05:

I watched the Oklahoma State game.

SPEAKER_04:

I was gonna say it's plus I shared that with all you guys. Nice try, Pat. But do you know why he would put that game on there, regardless?

SPEAKER_07:

It was worth it. Absolutely. Absolutely. We all know, yeah, you know. Um yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean, it's probably gonna be the next game you're gonna be questioning why I put on here.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, yeah, you're just you're you're leading the witness against uh picking against Kansas State here.

SPEAKER_04:

So yeah, you is the next one a spread game, though.

SPEAKER_05:

No, there's one in between that um that I put in there. I'm thinking like they're probably gonna wonder why this is in here.

SPEAKER_04:

Kansas State.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh pick again.

SPEAKER_04:

Wildcats.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna play this bit.

SPEAKER_08:

Um no, I was gonna say, you're like from like high school musical where like you know the other character calls you Wildcat. So, you know, way to go, Wildcat.

SPEAKER_05:

See, I've never seen any of those, so I can't I don't understand that reference.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, well, it's all good. You know, that the name the name of the high school team name is the Wildcats in that movie. So okay. Yep.

SPEAKER_05:

Ed, what's your pick?

SPEAKER_03:

There's so much talk I forgot the teams already.

SPEAKER_05:

Texas Tech at Kansas State.

SPEAKER_03:

None of a matter. Give me the tech.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, they removed the bevel, so they're dead to me. Give me the wildcats.

SPEAKER_07:

You threw me with a hole. Disclaimer. Um yeah, I'll take Kansas State to upset with a backup quarterback. And and Virgil will list his pick after the result's done.

SPEAKER_05:

Ed, Ed, enjoy your unique win for this week. I'm picking Kansas State.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm the only one, huh? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Wait, wait, so you're even picking them without the bevel?

SPEAKER_05:

Um I got a tag. Yeah, he has tag. Dang. Next game. Virginia at Cal. Virginia is a four and a half point favorite over under 53.5, and Virginia 67.6 percent.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

So let's go ahead and say this one. This will probably go into overtime like all of Virginia's other games do.

SPEAKER_03:

I was just thinking that Mike McDaniels, if he's not drinking, he's gonna start drinking tonight. Why did the receiver just stop?

SPEAKER_08:

Terrible.

SPEAKER_04:

You're not gonna win by field goaling them to death. Go for it.

SPEAKER_07:

They did that was them going for it on that play.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, was it? I thought that was there. That was them going for it.

SPEAKER_06:

That was fourth down.

SPEAKER_04:

Virginia.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm I'm saying with me.

SPEAKER_04:

It's this going east coast to west coast thing, trying to find the bookstore, and that type of thing. I still think Virginia can get it done.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, give me Tony Elliott's voice.

SPEAKER_04:

Tony Bennett? The basketball coach?

SPEAKER_08:

Yep, Tony Bennett. Tony Bennett. Um this game, so so this this game's at Cal?

SPEAKER_05:

This game's at Cal.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I think Virginia's gonna spend a little bit too much time in the box.

SPEAKER_07:

Near the bookstore.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I was gonna say, I think Virginia's gonna spend too much time in the bookstore. So um give me Ron, give, give me, uh, even though he's only the general manager, give me Ron Rivera's men. Give me Cal.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't think they're gonna spend much time in it because they're gonna find it faster than you did. They're gonna win the game. It was a circuitous route.

SPEAKER_08:

Sue me. They're at least gonna need longer and well, you don't need the money, you don't need the money, but you can. I mean, you're not gonna win much, but sure. I ain't never met a man that's rich that don't need more money.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, you have met about that is that is uh that is one thousand percent.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, well, I mean, listen, I can pay you in hats.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't know about the other currency, but rich people shop at Food Lion so they don't spend all their money, and if they can get more money, they get more money.

SPEAKER_04:

I need help uh opening my beer bottle here, Ed.

SPEAKER_07:

Y'all gonna keep going on it. I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna lean in. And and Phil Fresca is the greatest soda there is.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh god.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm gonna go also.

SPEAKER_07:

You want Virginia?

SPEAKER_05:

I'll go with Cal. Cal? What listen?

SPEAKER_08:

This is this is Virginia's way of standing in solidarity with me after the uh Alabama AM pick last week.

SPEAKER_05:

I do owe you one after that disaster, yes. Um I don't know. I feel like Virginia's more lucky than good. Yeah. Especially pretty good ball, though. They have, but like it took you overtime to beat North Carolina.

SPEAKER_03:

That's true. That's true. I'll give you that. Alaska's been figured stuff out.

SPEAKER_05:

It's not like I feel like North Carolina was trending upwards. I feel like they were still kind of maybe stabilizing. They're not getting worse, but they weren't getting better. So I don't know. I I I'm gonna go with uh Kyle on this. Next game is a spread game. If you're looking at the schedule, you already know which one is.

SPEAKER_04:

Why doesn't that to be a spread game?

SPEAKER_05:

Because I'm not dumb enough to pick this one outright. Oklahoma State Kansas is a 24 to a half point favorite over under 56.5, Kansas at 94.5 percent. So can Oklahoma State finally cover a spread for once this season?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I'm gonna go with no.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. No from Ed. Eric, you said yes.

SPEAKER_04:

24 and a half.

SPEAKER_05:

24 and a half.

SPEAKER_03:

Have you seen Oklahoma State play? Because they have you play. Yeah, Oklahoma's worse.

SPEAKER_07:

This is how Vegas makes money, right here, man. That's that is exactly exactly what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_04:

Do they take last week out on Oklahoma State?

SPEAKER_05:

I mean, that's the logic I'm using.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but you always pick them, you're never gonna pick them to win, but you're gonna pick them to cover.

SPEAKER_05:

See, you understand the bottom.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, I can't wait till the third quarter when I say Oklahoma, Oklahoma State may just cover and then I am blocking you for this game.

SPEAKER_05:

I am blocking you from anything from all any sort of number that has your area code, I am blocking.

SPEAKER_02:

Saturday, Patrick is gonna be blocked from this. What if I have nothing covered from that Cincinnati fiasco? What if I'm just admiring the helmets? Nope. Nothing. That's too good.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh I am blocking you. I am blocking, yeah. Slim Chickens is elite, by the way. Um, it's not, yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_07:

No, um, I just realized Kansas has lost by the same score the last two games. Jeez.

SPEAKER_04:

If it was earlier in the season, but for some reason they've just completely fallen apart. I don't know how much they can bounce back. I mean, I think the win, but I honestly don't know that it can win by that much. 17-point game, maybe.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I'm a I'm gonna take the pokes to cover this one. I'm I'm I'm taking the pokes to cover as well. Go flipping pokes.

SPEAKER_03:

This is gonna be the week that Ed is gonna either win big, Ed's gonna win big win or just lose horribly with his picks.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, uh Ed, I'm gonna be honest. If you somehow lose this week, like we're gonna have to talk about your picks.

SPEAKER_03:

I know, I know. Well, I told you it's gonna be bad. If I'm gonna lose it, I'm gonna lose bad.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game we have.

SPEAKER_07:

We'll have an intervention on Monday night. How about that?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, that sounds good.

SPEAKER_08:

Maybe he'll break even. Oh okay.

SPEAKER_05:

I'll clap on that one. That was good, that was good. But can I ask you to guys do it on the morning one so I don't have to be there for it?

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

You just send me the result Sunday night where we're at, and I'll I'll I'll start it off on Monday morning.

SPEAKER_05:

That sounds good. All right. Next game, Georgia Tech at North Carolina State.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, that's gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_05:

Georgia Tech is a five and a half point favorite over under 57.5, and Georgia Tech at 71%. Some of these ACC games are kind of hard to pick.

SPEAKER_08:

They are called the parody. I this is this is at NC State, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yes. Dude, I'm sorry. I I I love me NC State, you know. They've been playing like shit lately, though.

SPEAKER_07:

I think Georgia Tech's a more dominant team, and in most years, this would be so much more of a pick'em game for me, too, even though it's not a big spread. I I think Georgia Tech wins this one. Okay, I'm I'm with you there.

SPEAKER_03:

I got Georgia Tech. I hate to say it, but I got Georgia Tech. I love to say it. Get me Georgia Tech.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh tech for me, also. Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

Yep, same Georgia Tech.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_08:

Uh next game at uh the best record in the state of Georgia, by the way. Georgia Tech. Absolutely. It's not Western.

SPEAKER_07:

No, uh, West Georgia screwed that up.

SPEAKER_05:

They screwed themselves up. Just to put a quick disclaimer on this next one, uh, Zach Basin. If you are listening to this, please cover your ear. Oklahoma at Tennessee. Tennessee is a three and a half point favorite over under 56.5. Tennessee at 63.2 percent.

SPEAKER_04:

Not falling for that again. Tennessee.

SPEAKER_05:

You fell for it twice.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. Um, damn. I uh I'm gonna get I'm gonna go Tennessee. This game's at Tennessee. I don't see them losing to Oklahoma at Tennessee. I think I would take the home team, whichever way this one was gonna be going.

SPEAKER_05:

Really? You would have picked Oklahoma at home?

SPEAKER_07:

I think I would have.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't know about that one. Ed.

SPEAKER_08:

Tennessee.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Patrick.

SPEAKER_08:

Interesting that Josh Hepel, the Tennessee coach, is going back to the to the program, is playing against the program you played for, won a national championship with. Um, but uh, but yeah, there's no way in the world I think Oklahoma's winning this one. Rocky top, give me Tennessee.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm shocked that Tennessee's only what two and a half point favorite.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm not I'm not entirely sure why. I feel like they've been higher than that, especially with some of the recent Oklahoma performances, but you know, it's Vegas. They probably know something squeeze out.

SPEAKER_08:

Is Mateer playing?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh far as I know, he is.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. He's been in there in their losses against Texas. And I know I know.

SPEAKER_08:

I didn't know he's gonna be playing good, but we wouldn't. I was gonna say, but you know with Matthew, sometimes he's in, sometimes he's not, he's injury prone.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, he's see, he's not in here. He's he's like, oh, I'm in first place, and then just scurries away.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean, to be fair, if I was in first place, I'd do the same. Next game, USC at Nebraska. USC is a six and a half point favorite over under 58.5, USC 72.1%. Neither USC.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

Um I'm gonna go with Nebraska at home on this one. Matt Rule got paid. I was just gonna say Matt Rule just got paid. Um yeah, I'll I'll go to Nebraska.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me Nebraska. You didn't have to drop the computer with by with my answer. It makes me mad.

SPEAKER_05:

Just sorry. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh jeez. I'll calm down pounding that keyboard. Man, can Delaware State make some uh make some plays and just score some more points, damn it? You have more folks.

SPEAKER_05:

You you should be like ecstatic right now.

SPEAKER_03:

But no, Delaware State is supposed to be the better team, remember? Yes, I do remember saying that. Jesus.

SPEAKER_07:

And just just just to say to Phil, it's you of SC, Phil. Not you, no.

SPEAKER_08:

Come on now. Let's go. Are you trying to are you helping South Carolina establish their identity, Mr. Mayor?

SPEAKER_07:

No, Phil says it's southern, he says Southern Cow, USC is at Ole Miss. And I'm like, remember, they wanted to separate themselves, so they became U of SC.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, you were the of South Carolina, is that what they did?

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, either way, there's it's stupid. So either way, they should just be scar. That's what I always love when they're on the bottom line. Scar.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, they're gonna leave a scar when they beat Clemson.

SPEAKER_03:

Hey, hey, hey, you were you were doing so good, you were, you were, and then you had to mess it up.

SPEAKER_05:

No, well, listen, I'm gonna have to intervene here. You're you're kind of out of bounds here because we all know Clemson's gonna lose to Furman because they're looking at it.

SPEAKER_07:

Got it. Okay, sorry. We'll give you both a yellow card on that one.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, I'm gonna take a red card. Remember, the team I support gets red cards. So we don't care about yellow cards.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, we're talking soccer. We gotta get Eric back, so let's go back to football. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02:

What are you talking about? Right, Eric dude this out as soon as we started talking yellow cards in soccer. So, yeah, um, Virgil, fight on.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh, I actually in in in response to that, I was giving them both a 10-yard penalty, Eric, and then they said something about a 15-yard penalty. But anyway.

SPEAKER_03:

Encroachment. That's pretty good, though. Give you that.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, I'm also picking uh uh USC. All right, next game. Can you guys believe we have a conference championship game already coming up here? Oh, really? The Pac-10? Pac-12 Conference Championship Washington State versus Oregon State.

SPEAKER_07:

Four and four and one and seven.

SPEAKER_05:

Washington State's a three and five. Uh sorry. Washington State is a three and a half point favorite over under 47.5, and Washington State is at 64.1%. Can Oregon State get their second win?

SPEAKER_08:

No. My gosh. Not even at home. No, not even, yeah, no. Listen, Oregon State couldn't beat themselves.

SPEAKER_07:

They need James Franklin.

SPEAKER_05:

I still think that's not a bad spot for Brian Kelly to land up.

SPEAKER_08:

I well, yeah. Oregon State. Yeah. Listen, I I'm pleased for Brian Kelly to go wherever the heck he wants after that. As long as it's not LSU. He's not an LSU. I am over the moon. He's gonna go to West Georgia. Well, listen, actually, his next stop is court. Negotiating that buyout.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I was just gonna say his buyout all of a sudden is no longer 54, it's more like 27.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, well, Brian Kelly's gonna take it to court. I'm sure he is.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, but can we talk about how bad the logo for Norfolk State is?

SPEAKER_08:

He's not on the sidelines of LSU, so I'm thrilled.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't hate their logo. There's better logos out there, but that's not the worst thing I've seen.

SPEAKER_03:

It's better.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh considering that I have a very I guess I have an affinity for bad orange and black OSU teams. I'm gonna go with Oregon State.

SPEAKER_08:

Good luck. Yeah, by the way, was the Delaware State Norfolk State supposed to be a spread game? Yeah. Golly, come on, Delaware State.

SPEAKER_03:

No, leave it the way it is, but I'm just saying there's anywho, moving on.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, next Delaware State's logo is pretty good.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh yeah, the Delaware one, yes. Cincinnati at Utah. Utah's a 10 and a half point favorite over under 55.5, Utah at 80.5%. Wait a minute, that can't be right.

SPEAKER_01:

That sounds high.

SPEAKER_07:

That's probably right. It's at home. Polly just saw that you were here, Patrick.

SPEAKER_08:

What up, Polly?

SPEAKER_07:

Wow. Um I'll be right back. Uh give me Utah.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03:

I got Utah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, gimme gimme Utah.

SPEAKER_08:

Patrick. Um you know what? Give me s give me the Bearcats.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm gonna put the Bearcats on this too.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, I'm Team Virgil this week. I've just been, you know.

SPEAKER_05:

No, don't do that. You're gonna lose if you do that.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, listen, I ride in solidarity with you.

SPEAKER_05:

So all right, so now we've got we got five.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, I've got many times and I don't think they've they've won yet when I picked them.

SPEAKER_05:

So I've only picked Utah once and they won. And I picked them at the Holy War and regretted it ever since.

SPEAKER_08:

So yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, so we got five FCS games, including one spread game.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm excited now. Now we're talking.

SPEAKER_05:

Which Ed, if you really think about it, you probably already know what the spread game is gonna be. First game, Eric looks excited. North Dakota versus South Dakota. North Dakota's an 11.5 point favorite over under 51.5.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me the birds.

SPEAKER_05:

I had to pause and think about that because they're in my head, they're still the Sioux.

SPEAKER_02:

I know.

SPEAKER_05:

You know, you've really sold me on North Dakota after we went over their uh schedule on Monday. And yeah, I think that team's a lot better than where they're rated, so I'm gonna go North Dakota also.

SPEAKER_03:

North Dakota's a sneaky good team. Not a lot of people are talking about them because obviously they're talking about both the state, right? North Dakota, South Dakota State.

SPEAKER_04:

Did you guys talk about the state game on Monday?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes. You did.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, I know what you said in the chat, they just didn't show up, but goodness. No, like it didn't show up at all. Like it was a bad game.

SPEAKER_08:

Which one?

SPEAKER_04:

South Dakota, North Dakota, North Dakota State. What was it, 38 to 7? The marker.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. The problem with like, and I saw this in the Illinois State game with North Dakota State, they will punish you for mistakes.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, god, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Not even like if you throw a pick or an interception, like it's a guaranteed score for them. It's not going to matter.

SPEAKER_04:

They haven't won a championship yet, but how does this team look compared to some of these other championship teams?

SPEAKER_03:

North Dakota is one of the heavy favorites for sure.

SPEAKER_05:

But some of the other championship teams that we've gone back a little time, uh, Detroit Lance teams or the Wins teams, some of those teams have lost regular season games. This one has not.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, they're still undefeated. Christian Watson teams.

SPEAKER_05:

I have to go back and think about that.

SPEAKER_04:

But uh give me North Dakota.

SPEAKER_08:

They haven't lost conference games or they haven't lost any games altogether. Any games. Who, North Dakota? North Dakota State.

SPEAKER_04:

State, sorry. The game we're picking is North Dakota, South Dakota, but I'm asking about the state because last week it was North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and it was a blowout. Uh just give me North Dakota on that.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Donnie, who do you have?

SPEAKER_07:

Uh, which one was it? Yeah, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05:

This is North Dakota.

SPEAKER_07:

Nakota and who? South Dakota, South Dakota, South Dakota.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, never, Eric. Ever.

SPEAKER_07:

Give me give me North Dakota. Actually, well, yeah, yeah. Never mind.

SPEAKER_08:

Patrick. I'm trying to incorporate travel on this because, you know, I mean, that's gonna be a whole lot of travel. Um is this the game? Is this the game at the Dakota Dome?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes.

SPEAKER_08:

North Dakota has to travel really far. Uh, but you know, I think they can get over it. Give me North Dakota.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, those I don't think those exist. I've flown plenty.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game. Um you'll figure out why I picked this one. Mercer at Furman. Mercer's a 14 and a half point favorite over 13.5. Is that it? That is it.

SPEAKER_04:

What say you, Phil? I was gonna say, is he still on here?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, yeah, he's on here.

SPEAKER_04:

Does he go to that?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, I'm pretty sure he has to be.

SPEAKER_03:

I think he has to. Is that Mercer or Ed Furman? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

He oh there he is. There he is.

SPEAKER_07:

I tell you, if I was at home, I would be finding a way to go to this game with Phil. I'd tailgate with him and I'd go, I'd go see this game.

SPEAKER_08:

What estate are you in right now? Are you in the where are you right? What estate are you in right now, Doc?

SPEAKER_07:

Mama. Uh confusion. Um, I said estate.

SPEAKER_08:

What estate are you in right now?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, I'm in I'm in the estate of butt creek.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my god, why? Oh Jesus Christ. You're right, Ed, it was Delaware State.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, oh, I didn't think you were talking about yeah, I thought you were talking about butt crack, I mean creek, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

He's on his day or bevery hills. Yeah, yeah, you know. Did you see that now, Virgil? No, I I flipped over to the uh oh I I stopped watching the NFL game because it was pissing me off.

SPEAKER_05:

So Mercer or Furman.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm sorry for I gotta go with the record. What's Mercer's uh record?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh six and one.

SPEAKER_03:

And Fermins?

SPEAKER_05:

Five and two, I think. I have to pull that up. I forgot five and three. Five and three.

SPEAKER_08:

Virgil, I had no idea. Congrats, my man. What congratulations?

SPEAKER_05:

When did this happen? Did I have a kid? Do I have another kid?

SPEAKER_08:

Another kid. I love this. Thank you, Polly. Oh, wait. Jolly's your kid. I I've lost a plot on this.

SPEAKER_07:

I thought it would have been big.

SPEAKER_08:

So is Ed so is Ed your does that make Ed your son?

SPEAKER_07:

Me?

SPEAKER_08:

Well that's your brother.

SPEAKER_07:

Although I think Chupapi sounds more like Ed than Virgil, so right.

SPEAKER_03:

I I don't know who's the one that put that they said that uh don't look at the that uh ECU game that no sorry, that Coastal Carolina game and uh Marshall.

SPEAKER_05:

That was Lynn.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm a fan of Coastal Carolina's uh unis, that helmet, especially. I'm a fan of.

SPEAKER_05:

Wasn't it big Chupapi that said I look like a cholo on Monday?

SPEAKER_03:

You did look like a cholo.

SPEAKER_07:

He did.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, he wasn't wrong, though.

SPEAKER_07:

He wasn't wrong. He did.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh Patrick, you missed that. You have to go back and look what I was wearing.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh great. See, this is what happens. This is what happens when I when I tune into the what when I tune into the world series. You chose to, you know, the world series. I did. I did well. Listen, my team's never in it, so I've gotta no no no no no hate, no hate. Gotta lock in.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_08:

Okay. Depends on which one you're talking. The hurricane. Yeah, I was gonna say just thought I'd ask.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I mean, you know, you're Mr. Steel your girl, so I don't know, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

So uh you let me know. Shout out to the hurricanes up. Oh, damn. All right, go ahead, fight.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_08:

By the way, how about those ducks beating the Panthers? I never thought I'd see that. I never thought I'd live to see that day.

SPEAKER_03:

The mighty ducks.

SPEAKER_05:

We're not talking about guys, we're losing profit. Let's get back to football.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Uh, all right. Um, Eric Prophet. I'm going, I'm going with Mercer. Give me Mercer.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

Mercer.

SPEAKER_05:

Patrick.

SPEAKER_08:

You see, Davids are cowards. Give me Mercer.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, that's a Donnie. You already picked Mercer, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Correct.

SPEAKER_05:

He did. That's a claim sweep for Mercer.

SPEAKER_04:

Furman by three, he says.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry, Paladins.

SPEAKER_05:

Maybe, maybe in the first quarter. Maybe in the first quarter.

SPEAKER_07:

But you know, you know who you know who's gonna win the tailgate? Furman's gonna win the tailgate because Phil's gonna be there. Well, the absolute with those award-winning tacos and everything.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I was gonna say I want to give a big, big congratulation shout-out out to uh uh Phil for winning for winning his uh that cook off in his church. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, yeah of little faith. Just come play the least four. You know who I'm sticking with.

SPEAKER_07:

Hey Phil, all you gotta do is next week, if Furman does win, you just give us about all of us a big FU.

SPEAKER_02:

That's funny.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game. We are going to the SWAC again. We have first place in the West versus first place in the East. We have Alabama State at Prairie View AM. Alabama State's a 10 and a half point favorite over under 53.5.

unknown:

Damn it.

SPEAKER_07:

We have a 10 and a half favorite on the road. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_05:

Some of these some of these HBCU lines are kind of take it with a grain of salt.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you gotta, yeah, you can't take it all the way. Consider it done deal, Phil. Breakfast tapes takes with Phil and Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05:

unknown:

Yes. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I apologize. I don't know what came over me. Yeah, that was that was a little creepy. That was a little creepy.

SPEAKER_05:

Just pick the game already.

SPEAKER_07:

Holy crap. So prairie hasn't given up more than 50 more than 13 points in their last four games, and Alabama State has scored over 38 points in their last four games.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, I've got my reasoning here. I am I am the put this way, at least from my side, I am friends with Virgil Brooks. So I can't in good faith ever pick Alabama State. So so give me Prairie View A M.

SPEAKER_05:

There's also another reason why you could have picked Prairie View AM. You what? There's also another reason why you could have picked Prairie View AM.

SPEAKER_08:

Because they're first in their no because they're purple. Well, that well, obviously.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, Donnie, sorry for interrupting you. What was your pick?

SPEAKER_07:

Give me Alabama State. They I think they're gonna put up some points here.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, your team Virgil, you never pick Alabama State. I do not pick Alabama State. I learned this about my about my guy Virgil Brooks.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, well, Ed never picks the Ravens, and then he did, and they're winning.

SPEAKER_08:

So by the way, Virgil had the had the best joke of the day today in our chat by a country mile.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

So I'm sticking with Virgil. I feel like in a way he did that for me, even though he didn't. So I feel I feel a great loyalty to Virgil Brooks today.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me Alabama State. With all that, all that bump, all that crap you just said, still give me Alabama State.

SPEAKER_05:

That's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

Eric, you didn't listen to any of it anyway.

SPEAKER_04:

Alabama State.

SPEAKER_03:

I no, I was it was I'm talking about the crap that you were talking, Patrick. You were talking too much. I know you weren't listening to it. That's what I mean.

SPEAKER_08:

I tune you out. Yeah, you always do. So does Derek.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. Just a quick aside. I really hope next year they do ESPN Plus for SWAT games, all of them, because they're on Flow Sports, and I ain't got time for that.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh who does? You're on what platform?

SPEAKER_07:

I do. I got it for the checkers games, though.

SPEAKER_05:

See, like I even thought about that, and it's like I don't want to, I don't want to pick up another.

SPEAKER_08:

What streaming platform don't you have, Donnie?

SPEAKER_03:

I already have enough.

SPEAKER_08:

I I already have enough subscriptions to to uh all these like I gotta get that rocket money to keep up with whatever subscriptions I got.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm good.

SPEAKER_05:

All right. Next game. This is our spread game. Youngstown state at North Dakota State. North Dakota State is a 29 and a half point favorite over under 60.5.

SPEAKER_08:

That's a that's a big spread, Cotton.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me give me uh Youngstown.

SPEAKER_07:

Is that the Ohio thing? Going big or down in flames.

SPEAKER_08:

Golly, what a pick. What what was the spread on that again, Virgil? 29 and a half. Oh, give me North Dakota State to cover.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

Big spread there. Big spread there, Donnie.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_05:

29 and a half.

SPEAKER_03:

Donnie's peers are getting to him.

SPEAKER_07:

No, I just didn't hear him say it was a spread game. That's all. I'm sorry. I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

What, Mr. Robo?

SPEAKER_07:

Give me Youngstown State cover.

SPEAKER_05:

I am also gonna go to Youngstown State to cover.

SPEAKER_07:

And our last bit much.

SPEAKER_05:

And our last FCS game, which is a straight up. Carleton State at Abilene Christian.

SPEAKER_03:

I circle this one. I circle this one. Yep.

SPEAKER_05:

Charlton State is a 12 and a half point favorite over under 60.5. And thanks to um information from Mr. McCutcheon, we did find out that this is Abilene Christian's homecoming game. So that place will be rocking.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, but they're four and four. God.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm sorry, what's Clemson's record right now?

SPEAKER_07:

We're talking about Abilene Christian.

SPEAKER_05:

I know, but you're you're making fun of records over here. You don't see me making fun of records.

SPEAKER_07:

No, I'm just surprised that Tarleton State's not favored by Moore with Abilene Christian at a 500 record. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Listen, Tarleton Ston has been dominant all year. I'm not, I can't go against him right now. I know it's homecoming for uh Abilene Christian, and and I'm I'm sure Abilene Christian is gonna make it an interesting game, but nah, give me give me Tarleton.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, sorry, Mr. Bison. Give me Tarleton.

SPEAKER_08:

Patrick. Man, I love you, Mike Bison, but I think Todd Witten is uh is in the mood to ruin homecoming. So give me Charlton State.

SPEAKER_04:

Jason's brother?

SPEAKER_08:

Yep. His very older brother.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't care about you, Terry. No, I'm just kidding. Uh, I'll take Tarleton.

SPEAKER_05:

Somebody flip that place.

SPEAKER_07:

I was gonna say I can text him that.

SPEAKER_08:

I'm just kidding. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, Mike Bison. He doesn't like me either.

unknown:

Wow.

SPEAKER_03:

The insults coming from Donnie after he drinks a couple beers. Hot damn.

SPEAKER_05:

First, he doesn't support the troops, then he said doesn't support Mike.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I did. I picked Navy.

SPEAKER_05:

I picked Navy. Yeah, but like no one remembers that. Like, this is the narrative now. Uh until they show me that they're capable of like even being close to being beaten. I'm going to Arlton State.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah. Todd Whitten's done a great job this year.

SPEAKER_05:

So there's that. And I think um we should be getting some SDS playoff projections coming out soon. So we'll have something to talk about on Monday for sure. Okay, that is it for college. So we're gonna go ahead and since it's already nine o'clock here, we're gonna go ahead and jump into the pro games.

SPEAKER_07:

Real quick, uh, does the does does the uh the college football playoff poll start next week? Isn't it usually early November? Or do you I mean I'm just asking if you guys know if I've heard anything.

SPEAKER_05:

Obviously, I I don't care enough to know.

SPEAKER_07:

Well, I don't either, but I just it just seems like it always started, so I didn't know if that was next week.

SPEAKER_04:

He's literally asking, oh, I don't care because I mean, no, I sure don't care, but yeah, is it well?

SPEAKER_03:

It's good to know for our thing, you know.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I'm just I was just wondering when it started because I know it's it seemed like it was always like early November that was a big thing with the playoff being bigger now. I don't know if it's as much of a big thing, but he's just making the scale what Clemson's ranked. Oh, we're not in the playoffs, dude. I'm not that stupid. I mean, I could have told you that. You're not in anything. I could tell you that.

SPEAKER_08:

Listen, your national championship is the game against South Carolina.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm just hoping for a mayo bowl.

SPEAKER_08:

Uh I'm just wondering if you'll have a bowl.

SPEAKER_03:

That's what I that was that was gonna be my exact same thing to say.

SPEAKER_05:

So there's they're only talking about the official.

SPEAKER_08:

I wonder if LSU will have a bowl at this rate.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't see anything about uh the rankings coming out. Okay.

SPEAKER_07:

I hadn't seen anything about it either. That's why I asked. I've seen some like predictions and all that, but that's it.

SPEAKER_05:

Last year they started week 10.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

What's better, Bulu or Icebox Lemon Pie?

SPEAKER_07:

This is week 10.

SPEAKER_05:

So probably after this week they will not die.

SPEAKER_08:

Eric, you said what's better than icebox lemon pie?

SPEAKER_04:

It said what's better, Bulu or Icebox Lemon Pie. Oh, I did not think you said. Um are they both good?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, they're both fantastic. I don't know if I could pick uh it's a tie. Yeah, they're both really is a tie.

SPEAKER_05:

All right. So now it's on the NFL. First, we have the bears.

SPEAKER_07:

This is what he's talking about. It's the the two beers that he sent me that I had. The Tech Nine Bulu. Yep, Tech9 Bulu and the Lemon Ice Box. Oh, yeah, I had both of those after uh new Glaris spotted cow.

SPEAKER_08:

So ah, you brought the new Glaris back, huh?

SPEAKER_07:

I I got it Kelly gave me a half a dozen of them when we were in Chicago, and I looked in the fridge, I'm like, crap, I haven't had any of those yet, so I brought them with me. Sweet.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, we have the Bears versus the Bingles. Bears are a two and a half point favorite over under 50.5, Chicago 54.2 percent. Flacco status is currently unknown.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah. And that makes a huge difference when Jake Browning's involved. It really does.

SPEAKER_07:

In case y'all care. Ravens up 21-6 now.

SPEAKER_03:

We don't.

SPEAKER_07:

We uh Delaware State's getting ready to win, also. 1913.

SPEAKER_08:

But what was the spread on that Delaware Norfolk State game?

SPEAKER_05:

Four and a half, four and a half. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh.

SPEAKER_05:

It was not four and a half, it was twenty and a half.

SPEAKER_03:

We would have not been doing a spread game if it was four and a half.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, it was four and a half would be more.

SPEAKER_03:

It would have straight up, you know.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

And the fact that you actually believed that one pretty cool there for a second. What they played the fact that you believed them.

SPEAKER_04:

Give me Cincinnati. The Bears, it's 9 14 Central, and the Bears still suck. They may suck, but they're four and three.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I was gonna say they still suck. I can't take the I I can't take a risk on Jake Browning playing. Give me the Bears.

SPEAKER_03:

Same thing, man. I I can't, I cannot. If it's Joe Flacco, give me the the Bengals. But I we don't know if Joe Flacco's gonna start. I'm gonna have to go with the Bears.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, hold on. Eric, you said the Bengals, correct?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Donnie.

unknown:

Bears.

SPEAKER_05:

You said the Bears. Bears. Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Everybody else said the Bears.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh, not everybody because I'm taking the Bengals.

SPEAKER_08:

He has the Bears. Virgil's got insider knowledge. Yeah, he's keeping, he's keeping that info.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, what insider knowledge could I possibly have on this game?

SPEAKER_08:

I don't know. I don't know. You're your friends with Flacco or something. I don't know. Flacco texted you saying, We on for this weekend.

SPEAKER_05:

And I said, no, get injured. I need I need to lose this game.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh next we have negative nine, negative seven net yards in the second half. That's embarrassing. Who's dolphins? Yes. Oh, that's bad.

SPEAKER_08:

That's just like is is Mike McDaniel safe from being fired this season?

SPEAKER_07:

Before the season ends, yes. I think after the season he's gone.

SPEAKER_03:

I think that's a yeah, that's a different story. If he would have if he would have benched uh Tua, I think he probably would have been able to kind of salvage a little bit of his ex uh job, but he's sticking with him, and I don't think that at this point.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game.

SPEAKER_03:

Tua's bad.

SPEAKER_05:

Except for against for the Falcons that one game.

SPEAKER_03:

That is true.

SPEAKER_05:

Vikings at uh versus Lions. Lions are eight and a half point favorite over under 48.5 and Detroit at 75.2 percent. Eric, I'll just go ahead and give you a tie because I feel like that's what you probably want more than anything else.

SPEAKER_04:

No, or just both to lose. We don't care about a tie and just have them both lose. Uh Detroit.

SPEAKER_05:

Who is the who are the Vikings quarterback?

SPEAKER_08:

I was about to say, what is the quarterback situation for Wentz? JJ. JJ McCartney. Oh, Wentz is out for the season. Oh, is J.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, you're right. Carson got hurt. JJ's back, I think. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

I thought JJ was still injured. That's why I was watching that.

SPEAKER_07:

I think he's coming back.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, it's still Detroit for me.

SPEAKER_04:

You're listening to a guy that says Wentz is playing even though he's out for the season.

SPEAKER_06:

I forgot. I forgot he was hurt.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Ed.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes.

SPEAKER_05:

Your pick.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh Detroit. Come on, man.

SPEAKER_07:

Patrick. Detroit.

SPEAKER_05:

Donnie.

SPEAKER_07:

Detroit.

SPEAKER_05:

Really? So you're picking Detroit over a Carson Wentz-led uh Blackings?

SPEAKER_07:

Absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game. Panthers at Packers. Packers are a 13 and a half point favorite over under 44.5. Green Bay 76.6%.

SPEAKER_04:

Is this a spread game? This is not a spread game.

SPEAKER_05:

We do not do spread games in the NFL.

SPEAKER_07:

We should.

SPEAKER_03:

On this one, you should. Oh man. I I'm I can't. Give me the Packers.

SPEAKER_07:

I can't even take the Panthers in this game, not at Green Bay and not the way we're playing right now. I hope we win. I'm taking the Packers.

SPEAKER_04:

No, he's not allowed. Put that as Panthers.

SPEAKER_05:

It it autocorrupted the Panthers. It was weird.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

Has Donny all of a sudden switched uh fandoms again?

SPEAKER_04:

He has. You know he's a Jaguars fan. Dad, I don't even know who I am anymore. Since you since it's not a spread game, go pack go.

SPEAKER_05:

Wait, wait, wait. If it was a spread game, would you have picked differently?

SPEAKER_04:

No. Yeah, because we probably would have won by nine and a half.

SPEAKER_07:

Uh yeah, that that spread I might have taken the Panthers to cover, actually. Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

No, we're not switching it to a spread game. I know. He's he's looking at a screen band.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, he is like, ooh, I have no plans on doing that.

SPEAKER_07:

Patrick. Put a side note down that I would take the Panthers on the spread and see what happens.

SPEAKER_04:

And that would mean nothing.

SPEAKER_07:

I know. I'm just curious. I'll forget about it.

SPEAKER_08:

I'm old. Well, uh Virgil's like, no, I'm not writing down any more than what's currently on the spreadsheet. Um uh give me uh go pack go.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Green Bay Packers, Romeo Dobbs scores uh five touchdowns.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm old.

SPEAKER_05:

Let's go because more doesn't gonna need that for this.

SPEAKER_04:

Did you see the 1923 uniforms we're wearing this weekend?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, the Notre Dame uniforms. I have not, but I hope they're better than that shit before.

SPEAKER_04:

Ooh, Virgil Virgil kind of showed them up on that one wooden kind of the weird leather helmet stuff.

SPEAKER_08:

You know that you know that thing that they wear to protect their heads, what do you call it?

SPEAKER_04:

Um, but it's not the yellow, it's brown, it's leather.

SPEAKER_08:

It's like brown and like that.

SPEAKER_04:

The thing that does it's like brown in Notre Dame. Go to Packers.com and search it up or Packers Twitter, and you can see the uniform.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game. And how this one has a a uh smaller line compared to the Panthers Packers. I do not know.

SPEAKER_03:

Chargers at Titans. I knew you were gonna say that one.

SPEAKER_05:

Chargers are a nine and a half point favorite over under 43.5, chargers at 74.1%. Does anyone want to make a case of Titans?

SPEAKER_08:

No, no, okay. They're terrible.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game, Falcons at Patriots. Patriots are five and a half point favorite over under 45.5, New England at 65.5%. I do not think this will matter in the end, but I don't I think Bijan is still um not Bijan. I think Michael Penix is um still not back yet.

SPEAKER_03:

No, it's gonna be Is it Kirk?

SPEAKER_08:

I Kirk, I failed my audition, cousins. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Give me the give me give me the Patriots.

SPEAKER_07:

Patriots for me.

SPEAKER_04:

Patriots Eric Patriots.

SPEAKER_08:

Is Drake May playing? Yes, yes, come on now, man. Well, it wouldn't matter either way, still give me the Patriots. You know the answer to that question. But but I mean, for me, the difference is do they absolutely humiliate humiliate the the Falcons or do they just win? Those are the two choices.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_08:

Is that game in Foxboro? Is that game in Foxboro?

SPEAKER_05:

That game is in Foxboro.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, even more reason to give me the Patriots.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, next game. 49ers at Giants. 49ers are a two and a half point favorite over under 48.5, but the Giants have the predictor at 56.3 percent.

SPEAKER_04:

They don't have a running back anymore.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, uh this these numbers are just give me the 49ers. Come what the hell?

SPEAKER_04:

Same 49ers.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, yeah, same frame.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, if they still had Scataboo, I would have maybe picked the Giants because I do like Jackson Dart a lot. But uh, give me the 49ers.

SPEAKER_05:

Did any of you not watch the 49ers Texans game last week? Nope.

SPEAKER_03:

Did you watch the have you watched the Giants?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, I have watched the Giants.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, Samantha was there in person with a Houston Texans autographed jersey on. So yeah, she did watch it.

SPEAKER_05:

Somebody was there watching that. Uh San Francisco, those injuries are catching up to them.

SPEAKER_03:

Same with the Giants.

SPEAKER_05:

And I think people are forgetting that Tyrone Tracy was not a bad running back before he got injured.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, thanks for taking him from me.

SPEAKER_05:

I think it's only fair since I lost Cattabu. You know what's told Profit?

SPEAKER_08:

You've stolen a lot of players. I don't even know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm gonna go guys on this.

SPEAKER_08:

You'll be by yourself, but okay. Listen, I like your respect for Jackson Dart. Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game. Colts at Steelers. Uh Colts are a three and a half point favorite over under 50.5 uh 57.6% for Indianapolis and the predictor.

SPEAKER_08:

Is this game in indie?

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_05:

This game is in uh Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_07:

Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_04:

But still back-to-back home games. Give me the Colts. Colts.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh yeah, I'm gonna go Colts. We just gave them the kiss of death.

SPEAKER_08:

Thanks a lot, guys. But for the you know me for the shoe. The horseshoe? Oh, no doubt, man.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, wait. I like how you say we gave them the kiss of death, but I think like for the past few weeks, we've all unanimously picked Indiana. Yeah. Indiana.

SPEAKER_04:

Indiana Indiana, Indiana Colts. Indiana Colts. Them Indiana Colts.

SPEAKER_08:

Hey, um the past three weeks, we all picked them Indiana Colts.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game we have is the Broncos at the Texans.

SPEAKER_07:

See, uh y'all could blame it on my beer. I don't know what Virgil's blaming it on.

SPEAKER_08:

I've been drinking.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm still dedicated. Uh Houston's a one half point favorite over under 39.5. Someone had to get that because the Browns weren't playing.

SPEAKER_07:

How in the hell is Houston favored?

SPEAKER_05:

It is 50-50.

SPEAKER_07:

God bless it.

SPEAKER_05:

Do you know why? Do you know why Houstons are favored? Because the Broncos are frauds. Really?

SPEAKER_07:

I'll take the frauds.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm still I am still on this this bandwagon that the Broncos are frauds.

SPEAKER_03:

So you're picking the Texans?

SPEAKER_05:

I am picking the Texans.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, I haven't had heard much from Nick Chubb all season. And I'm a little disappointed at the fact that he really hasn't play the way they, you know, I I expected him to play.

SPEAKER_07:

Um while Ed's thinking, Polly, tell us what you're dressing up as. Or did he tell us earlier? I didn't see it.

SPEAKER_03:

Hello. Give me the Texans.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

So in the uh family picks, uh, someone does not uh believe in Denver, and there, you know, obviously you know why. Uh Sertan.

SPEAKER_07:

Sertan's out, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And she keeps losing the weekly picks, and I said it's because you keep picking against the Broncos. And I said, pick the Broncos, and she did, and then she tied for first place. Uh give me the Broncos.

SPEAKER_08:

Patrick. Give me the Texans, why not?

SPEAKER_05:

Next game. The Florida Fighting Donnies at the Raiders. Jacksonville is a two and a half point favorite over under 44.5, and Jacksonville 55.8%.

SPEAKER_03:

Jaguars. Jaguars. Fighting Donnies. The fighting Donnies.

SPEAKER_04:

But I don't think I'd prefer him to do that little hand motion again. Jaguars.

SPEAKER_02:

I'd rather you not do that ever again. How did they beat the tell about the reaction?

SPEAKER_04:

Speaking of frauds. How did they what? How did the Jaguars beat the Chiefs?

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Trevor Lawrence's agility and dexterity.

SPEAKER_08:

What's the real reason? Right.

SPEAKER_05:

Did you guys not watch the final drive where he trips and basically debris? Remember we were watching it together? Yeah. He caught the Kansas City defense flat footed because he fell, which he planned to do, and then just gets up and walks in. That's a mastermind who does that.

SPEAKER_07:

Because Chris Jones gave up on the play because he thought it was over.

SPEAKER_05:

That too.

SPEAKER_03:

But whatever, right?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, but yes. I mean, now you're just now you're just like, you know, splitting hairs over here. So, Patrick, what do you got?

SPEAKER_08:

The Florida fighting Donnies. Okay. Same with me.

SPEAKER_05:

Next game, which this one probably should be a spread game. Saints at Rams. Rams are a 14.5 point favorite over under 43.5. Rams are 85.9%. And this is a terrible time to be starting a new QB for the Saints, but they are doing it.

SPEAKER_08:

And how does he pronounce his name? Is it Slough?

SPEAKER_04:

No. Shuck. Shuck. Like Shuck. Oh okay. What?

SPEAKER_03:

Give me the Roll. Give me the Rams.

SPEAKER_07:

So, real quick, Dan Patrick have had his Flacco Round and Find Out t-shirt that he ran for a couple weeks. They've got a new one out cut says Shuck Around and Find Out. And for him, and people were calling in today, and they want one for um for Tucker. Uh the what's the tight end for Green Bay? Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft. They want Tucker Round and Find Out. That may be the same.

SPEAKER_05:

You can't use the same joke three times. They are.

SPEAKER_04:

That's why nobody watches them. They're doing a limited run short of each one. Ed took Patrick's message to heart. Give me the Virgils, the Rams.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I'll take the Virgils.

SPEAKER_04:

He said, I'll show you.

SPEAKER_07:

Just keep moving around, Ed. Just keep boop, boop, boop, boop.

SPEAKER_05:

Patrick, who do you have?

SPEAKER_07:

Who would have ever thought Ed would have worse internet than Patrick? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

All of a sudden, I think I have to restart my motor. Something's going on because you do keep locking up.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I don't know what it is. My internet's been great for weeks now.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't talk about your internet.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I know. So give me the uh give me the Los Angeles V. Valiant Virgil.

SPEAKER_05:

All right. Next game. Kansas City Chiefs against the Buffalo Bills. Chiefs are a two and a half point favorite over under 52.5. Kansas City 57.2%.

SPEAKER_03:

The Bills own the regular season.

SPEAKER_07:

And it's in Buffalo.

SPEAKER_04:

Why didn't I see uh how about them Panthers this week? I always get that text every week from Ed. Didn't see one this week. Why is he so angry right now?

SPEAKER_07:

He's mad at his internet.

SPEAKER_04:

It's my birthday. Uh give me the Chiefs.

SPEAKER_08:

You guys see that Scott Woodward is out as LSU's athletic director?

SPEAKER_03:

Is it official?

SPEAKER_08:

Official now? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I told you he said it was wow. When did that happen?

SPEAKER_08:

Uh about an hour, about an hour and ten minutes ago.

SPEAKER_07:

Did the governor fire him?

SPEAKER_08:

Uh well, it didn't hurt. Um I mean the the school announced it uh, you know, uh tonight. So uh apparently the governor does have some sway as to whether an AD stay sticks around.

SPEAKER_07:

He's like the AD will not be helping us select a coach because he will not be here either.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, well, if that's the reason why, then shame on LSU for letting an outside, I don't care who it is, letting an outside person dictate who your who your coach and athletic director should be in their eyes. Because correct that's not that's not the place for any, in my opinion, any government official to be placing their interests. That's just I'm not speaking for you guys, that's just me personally.

SPEAKER_05:

We're all in agreement, right? That this is gonna lead to a recall of the governor when LSU hire when they hire a coach that goes like four and eight, right?

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, it's gonna be well well his approval rating went down even in Acadiana where he's from.

SPEAKER_05:

So I thought it is possible for that.

SPEAKER_08:

The cane cutters, the cane cutters, yeah. I thought of you guys, I thought of Earn Fun Average today when I saw that. I said, he's from Acadiana.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, uh Ed, who do you have?

SPEAKER_08:

The cane cutters.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, I picked this one already.

SPEAKER_08:

What was it?

SPEAKER_05:

You talked about you said Buffalo has the regular season. Oh, I picked the bills. Okay, I mustn't miss that.

SPEAKER_08:

Uh Patrick, you know, I feel like I always pick the bills against the Chiefs, and Josh Allen somehow loses it, but I'm still I'm a glutton for punishment. Give me the bills. Okay, uh, Donnie.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I like the wings. Give me the bills.

SPEAKER_08:

God.

SPEAKER_02:

I do not.

SPEAKER_07:

When I can get Patrick on a Patrick joke, that's gold.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't trust the Bills from defense at all. Yeah, I don't blame you. I think that's gonna be a deciding factor in this game. Give me the Chiefs.

SPEAKER_04:

I wonder why he chose that.

SPEAKER_05:

See, I was waiting for you to say that. And that's part of it. But I actually had another reason, is because it basically boiled down to whose defense do I trust less.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, you like the offense, right?

SPEAKER_05:

I don't know. I just think Buffalo's really been down defensively, I think, in this this year. All right, next game. Seahawks at the Commanders.

SPEAKER_03:

I like that one.

SPEAKER_05:

Seahawks are a three and a half point favorite over under 47.5. Washington has the edge on the predictor at 56.6%. So you say you like this one. I feel like this may be a snooze fuss.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, yeah. I like it because it's gonna be Seattle.

SPEAKER_08:

Uh is Mariota starting again. No, um I don't think Jaden Daniels back.

SPEAKER_04:

No, Daniels has been back, but after one game, McLaurin's out again. Give me the Seahawks.

SPEAKER_07:

Yes, commanders are just they're they're dangerous this season.

SPEAKER_04:

Trust me.

SPEAKER_07:

I'll take the Seahawks as well. Sam Darnold's on a roll.

SPEAKER_04:

I wouldn't go that far.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I was gonna say that's a bold statement, Cotton.

SPEAKER_07:

That's what I do, make bold statements. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Patrick, did you already pick?

SPEAKER_04:

That's what we're doing in week 11, picking these NFL teams based off of logos, according to Lynn.

SPEAKER_08:

Lynn's not wrong. Yeah, no. Um I mean, she's not wrong. Listen, Lynn's got her reasons, but I've it wasn't the reason I was picking them, but you know, give me the Seahawks.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. And Ed, you pick the Seahawks?

SPEAKER_01:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay. Yeah, I'm picking Seahawks too. And our last game, our Monday game.

SPEAKER_08:

Was that game in Seattle or Washington? Washington.

SPEAKER_04:

So we're going to Western.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh man, here we go. But it's an 8 20 p.m. game, it's not a one at 7 p.m. morning.

SPEAKER_08:

I mean, I I need to take in like the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow and like think, you know, incorporate that into the airplane and you know everything else.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. I can't say it, never mind. I don't care. It's 9 36. I can't say it.

SPEAKER_05:

But we already know what you're gonna say.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, what's the Monday night game?

SPEAKER_05:

So Monday night game is Cardinals at Cowboys. Gross.

SPEAKER_07:

What a horror. I mean, you know what? I'm I'm done with football at seven o'clock on Sunday.

SPEAKER_04:

It'll be my first day back to work that day, so I'm definitely going to bed early.

SPEAKER_05:

Wait, Cowboys are two and a half point favorite over under 53.5.

SPEAKER_08:

They're putting Harry Jones and Jonathan Gannon both on Monday night football.

SPEAKER_05:

It's like a personal health matter.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, yeah, it is. Okay, Eric. Which would you rather if you had to pick one of the two? Would you rather watch that game or join us on breakeven sports? Neither.

SPEAKER_05:

If he joins us on break even sports, we have to change the name of the show.

SPEAKER_07:

Like, don't forget he could do a special guest for one night and learn about soccer and all the definitely not doing that.

SPEAKER_04:

Cowboys. CD's been back, so give me the cowboys. Can I just default to none on this one?

SPEAKER_03:

Right. Can the cowboys have another tie?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, you can pick tie. Tie is an option.

SPEAKER_08:

Eric, what are the video game releases this week?

SPEAKER_04:

I'm not a gamer ass poly that.

SPEAKER_03:

That is true.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh man, this is I don't think he's I still don't think he's playing, though.

SPEAKER_05:

He's still hurting. They're acting like he's going to. The last entry report said he's training with the first team.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh well. We would have had a better time against Arizona if if he Kyler was playing instead of um yeah, verset. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Give me the Cowboys. I uh Cardinals are just I can't be the Cardinals, they're too much garbage. They're worse garbage than the Cowboys.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, and like Eric said, they do the Cowboys are pretty bad.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, but they still have C D Lamb. I'll give that one to Eric right there. They at least have that. So Dallas has a good offense.

SPEAKER_08:

Dallas has a Dallas at least has a good offense. Like, but like with uh with Arizona, their running game is a mess.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, Dallas's defense may not have to work hard in this game anyway.

SPEAKER_08:

So like you have to wonder is Marvin Harrison Jr. gonna catch a ball. Um uh so as much as I can't stand to say it, uh, give me Dallas.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean the ball always hits Marvin Harrison Jr. in the worst place it can, his hands, so I get it.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Um would you rather pick Dallas or Georgia? What? If you had to pick Dallas or Georgia, there's it there is a Dallas, Georgia. Yeah, that's not what I'm asking though.

SPEAKER_08:

I know what you're asking. Like if I if they were to play a game, who would I pick? Golly. That's they ask me which eye I want to poke out. Um I'd probably had to go um Dallas.

SPEAKER_03:

I hate this game so much. Jonathan.

SPEAKER_08:

When is Jonathan Gannon gonna be let go? He needs to go, he needs to go coach with Brandon Staley at like at Liberty California. Here's my question: who gets let go first?

SPEAKER_03:

At Lincoln California. Does Gannon get let go first, or does uh Kyler Murray get traded?

SPEAKER_08:

Gannon.

SPEAKER_03:

Gannon.

SPEAKER_08:

There's too much money invested in Kyler Murray.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I was about to say I was trying to say how far along on his contract he was. It's probably gonna be Gannon.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, but but yeah, but Jonathan Gannon and um uh would make a uh would make a great coach out at Lincoln of California. And Brandon Staley can be a co-head coach. How about that?

SPEAKER_05:

So I'm picking Arizona, and here's why. I have no idea what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_08:

Is Joshua Dobbs back by some chance? Joshua Dobbs knows not back. Okay, I mean because if he was back, then all right, let's talk. I mean, you know, my my man's a former Cleveland Brown, he'll be he'd be rushing.

SPEAKER_03:

Are we done?

SPEAKER_05:

We're done. That was the last one.

SPEAKER_04:

But now we have to pick our over-under.

SPEAKER_05:

Over-unders. So Patrick, since you won, you go first.

SPEAKER_08:

Do you have the over-under available on the on the Colt Steelers? You know what the line is?

SPEAKER_05:

Over-under for that is 50.5.

SPEAKER_08:

Give me the under.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_08:

I can't believe I actually won a week. Wow. Miracles do happen.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I was about to say I was I was only a point off on the over under, so it's like, man, if it's ties, I don't have a typewriter plan. I probably need to come up with something. Probably a wheel. Uh let's see, give me. Give me the over on Kansas, Oklahoma State.

SPEAKER_04:

I was wondering if you'd pick that. I usually try to avoid this one, but I just don't think you think you guys are gonna score enough to help?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh no, I'm just saying I've always met Kansas to score 56 points, like and more.

SPEAKER_04:

Maybe if this is Jason Bean era.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, next will be uh Eric.

SPEAKER_04:

Give me the Packers, Panthers over.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Donnie, I need your help. Have your team score like 14 points. We'll score the rest.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

I said eight touchdowns for that game, we're good.

SPEAKER_04:

Eight? Wasn't he at five earlier?

SPEAKER_05:

I decided to change it. Henry's underperforming.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh Ed. Give me the under on the Cowboys cards.

unknown:

Oh, damn.

SPEAKER_04:

As much as he hates that game, he's like, give me the over-under. Because you know they're not gonna score. I know that's what I was thinking. Dallas can score.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, wait, talk now, talk now, hold on. I can call this one out. You're seriously telling me that that Dallas defense is going to hold an offense. Anybody.

SPEAKER_03:

A horrible Arizona offense. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_07:

I just don't think that offense is gonna score against a shitty defense either.

SPEAKER_03:

They can't fucking move the ball. I just don't see them. And here's the thing if if those Arizona does score more, that means that Dallas is not playing, you know, at all.

SPEAKER_07:

The offense is not playing, so they're gonna be on the bench and and then Arizona's, so yeah, give me the I don't see that I don't even see Dallas putting up 40, which they should, but I don't even see them putting 40 up on Arizona.

SPEAKER_03:

No. Okay, and Donnie. Uh Donnie, you can pick the over if you want to.

SPEAKER_07:

Nah, don't want to do that. Give me the under on Virginia Cal.

SPEAKER_04:

What about the Mercer Furman over?

SPEAKER_05:

Under well, it will definitely be over for Furman in that game. All right, that's pretty good. Got all the picks are locked in and saved.

SPEAKER_03:
