SPEAKER_03

Okay, I just want to make sure that I'm not going crazy because I don't have my glasses on right now. That's one other thing. Eyesight just gets worse and worse.

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.

Rocky Mountain Vibes Fold And Minor League Gaps

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.

Halloween Plans And Costume Chaos

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

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.

What Counts As Horror: Sci‑Fi, Suspense, Or Both

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.

Dodgers vs Blue Jays: Gut vs Analytics In October

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.

NFL Weekly Chaos And Fantasy Matchups

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.

College Football Picks: Spreads, Upsets, And Soapboxes

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.

FCS Deep Dive: Dakotas, SWAC, And Homecoming Traps

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

SPEAKER_08

SPEAKER_08

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

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_05

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

SPEAKER_08

Breakfast are you doing ASMR again, Ed?

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

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.

NFL Slate: Must‑Wins, Frauds, And Over‑Unders

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.

Wrap‑Up, Schedules, And What’s Next

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.
