  Speaker 2: Just kidding. They're at the Raising Cane studio. I just
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: said that. What's up? How we doing? How we living? Hey,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing okay.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I'm doing okay. Stayed up late watching some football. The
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns are good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Don't love it, but they are.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I picked them to win. Why? Because they won. That's true.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: They could have lost, though. They're good. They legit are good.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I know. I was watching the game. So, I watched
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the first half and then didn't watch the second half,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: but the Through the first half, I was like, man,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this sucks. I want the Browns to not be good
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: because it's fun. Why? Poor people. They've been bad forever. No,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: because it's fun for somebody to be bad for a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: long time. It'll only be bad. And it's fun to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: make fun of them. Okay. But you can't because they
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: got a defense that flies around, dude. They do.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: And I really, really, really like Todd Munkins.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I do too. Of course I do. I mean, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: hadn't seen Todd Munkin in 20 years. So like, I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of loyalty towards him.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So I've been seeing him a bunch recently. I saw
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: him at the combine. I saw him at owner's meetings.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I saw him at training camp. And so I very
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: much enjoyed my time. He starts telling old stories about,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you know, when we were all together.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, I just, I can't really picture my
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: communication with him. All I can remember is I can
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hear his voice, raspy screaming voice screaming at like early.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And Buster. Like, I can just hear him yelling. Sweet nothings?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Sweet nothings, absolutely. That staff loved to yell. Loved a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: They love to say, like, this one cuss word followed
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: by your name. It was a two-parter cuss word followed
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: by your name.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The second word, was it you? No, it was.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Taking the Lord's name in vain. Okay, they did like
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to say that. Followed by your name. They like to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: say that. Well, you know. Yeah. They had a lot
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of favorites. They wanted to make sure everybody got touched.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: They sure did. They sure did. Yeah, but Browns are good.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Steelers are good.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Steelers are a good football team. The AFC North is good.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Think about it. Cincinnati's 2-1.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Baltimore's 2-1.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: That's going to be– and it's always been like a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: black and blue division, just physical, tough. A lot of
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the division games, no matter who's good, who's bad, are
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: going to be good. But Cleveland being good, that might
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: change the whole thing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: What a difference a couple of weeks makes, right? I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, I think, even said it post-game yesterday, talking
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: about the atmosphere at that stadium yesterday. Who would have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: ever said that in Cleveland? talking about having to worry
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: about crowd noise, having to worry about a crazy atmosphere
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: like that. Thank goodness Todd Mungin probably didn't listen. He
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: listens to the show, I'm sure, every day, but he
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: didn't listen to that one episode where he said, or
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: at least I said, hey, you better, if you want
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to keep your job, you better not play Deshaun Watson
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: next week because, for one, he wasn't playing good. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: think it was the right take at the time, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: not anymore because he's playing really well, but A man
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that got booed off the field in his own home stadium.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Booed by the fans, I mean, for obvious off-the-field reasons.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of people were cheering against him and probably
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: still are cheering against him, including, at the time, his
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: own fans. But you know what cures literally anything? That's winning. Winning.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And winning multiple times. And winning... And your team winning
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: with a really thirsty fan base, thirsty for any type
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of success that they can hold on. Yeah. You'll sell
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a lot. You'll sell a lot of yourself for your
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: team to be good. Two among us. I'm telling you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Those Browns fans, they're crazy, man. They're going to do
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: anything they can. They don't really care as long as
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you're winning. And that's sports, baby. And it doesn't really matter.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it does matter, of course.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But you can get away with a lot as long
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: as you win. Now, at the first moment of distress,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: at the first sign of any negativity, you're going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: get booed again. Yeah. And they showed that a couple
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago. But he's buying himself some grace right now, certainly.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And he's playing really well. Yeah. He's going through his reads.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Taking care of the football. Making good pre-snap decisions.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: There was a time in his career that we thought, argued, debated,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: talked about him being a top eight quarterback.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: In the league. Yeah, enough so to where they paid
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: him $ 250 million. The Saints wanted him, too.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So, I remember, like, when it all came down to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: who was going to get Deshaun Watson, he chose Cleveland
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: over New Orleans, which I still don't get, but.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, $ 250 million. I get it. The Saints were
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: offering something crazy, too, though. They weren't offering that. Not bad.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, because. They're probably only offering, like, $ 150. No,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it's more than that. What a poor.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: But anyways, Cleveland Browns are good, and I was watching it,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: but I was going back and forth because I got
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to be honest. I was ye of little faith, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: They went Johnny Holstaff, and it worked.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had a guy that was working at
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: 7-11 a couple of years ago. Be the starting pitcher
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: for the Braves. He goes three and a third scoreless.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You had some real Hunt Palmer energy yesterday about
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that game. Yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Phillies had Nola and Wheeler, and the
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Braves had everybody.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: That was not a starter. Hey, can you pitch? You
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: were emotionally hedging yesterday for sure.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Big time. Can you pitch? Do you have a right
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: or a left arm? We'll try you on the mound today.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: You hold your fingers like this on the ball. That's
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: what we call a four seam.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: But they won, and it wasn't, you know, it was 6-2.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: All of the Braves' runs coming on home runs, but
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: they got it done. You had Michael Harris hit a three-run.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Tater, you had. Tater. Tater. That's his name? No, it
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: would be good. After Jim Bob Cooter yesterday, if we
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: had a Tater. My quarterback coach in Seattle is Tater.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: He's awesome. Carl Smith, father of Tracy Smith, RGA. He's awesome.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: One of my favorites. Where's Tater come in here? I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: You just said Tater, so I said Tater. No, no, no,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: but you said Carl Smith, but he said his name
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: was Tater.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know where you find
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that one. Okay. Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the disconnect for me.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How do you get to Tater? What's that Jeff
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Foxworthy comedian show that they have the four guys that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: traveled with each other a long time ago? Billingville. Yeah, Gitterden. Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it came from that. God, what was
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: that guy's name?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yep, I'm blanking. It is early.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Larry the Cable Guy.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Larry the Cable Guy. Right, Moose? Larry the Cable Guy? Comedian?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: That's him? That's his name? The guy that played Mater? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he's the one that said Tater. All right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's where it came from. Probably not.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm sorry to distract you there. He was one
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of my favorite coaches. His name was Tater, so it fit.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Ozzy Owsby's hit a two-run home run, and then Matt
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Olsen hit a solo shot.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: The Braves win 6-2. Now they get to play the Dodgers.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: All right, congratulations. I don't know. Every time I saw
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a Dodgers score in the back half of the season,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: they were losing. Yeah, the Braves did sweep the Dodgers
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in the back half of the season, too. Not a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: big deal. There is that. So they're favorite? No. Well,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you think they would be. Yeah. They got the head-to-head.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It's not the case.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: So the playoff matchups now are going to be set.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: It is going to be the Chicago White Sox and
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the Cleveland Guardians.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to be the Atlanta Braves and the L.A. Dodgers.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: It's going to be the New York Yankees and the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Rays, the San Diego Padres, and the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: When do the Rangers play? I got news for you, bud. What?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: They didn't make it. Huh? They didn't make it. Are
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you kidding me? I'm telling you the truth. Man. Lost
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: my bet. So, pour one out for Juan Gonzalez. Yep.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Pudge Rodriguez. Yep. Julio Franco. Don't forget about Rusty. Rusty Greer.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Mark McLemore. Kenny Rogers. Will the Thrill. Rafael Palmeiro. Mickey
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Tettleton probably played for them at some point. Don't worry
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: about him. Fernando Tatis for a little bit. Senior. Not
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to be confused with Junior who plays now. I actually
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: think I remember watching the game, his major league debut
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: at bat. I think he hit a home run.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Also hit two grand slams in one inning to the
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: left field, I believe.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Ballpark in Arlington. Great ballpark. Now they play in a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: toaster oven. Do they? Yeah, it's not very. The aesthetics
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of it, not great. Why? Is it new? It's ugly.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: What happened to the ballpark in Arlington? That's brand new.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I think it's actually still standing. I think the UFL
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: team played there when they were playing, I think. That
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: was a great ballpark. I know it as a brand-new stadium.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: They built that little right field.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: They got this little thing right by the right field
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: foul pole that was like a little jut out. Yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That was really a lot shorter, and they built that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: for Pudge Rodriguez because he always went oppo line drive. Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: They built it. He had just a billion home runs
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: That was also the field that center field was just
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the grass area, and you could fight over home runs, right?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Test fight. Did you ever win? No.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But there was a snow cone stand right above that
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: grassy hill. That was, like, it was the first, like,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: shaved ice. Because, you know, you had the snow cones
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that went through the little press. Yeah. And it pressed
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the snow. But this one was, like, shaved ice. Like
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Italian ice. They didn't have one of those in Tyler.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: They didn't have one of those in Tyler. It blew
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: my mind. Oh, yeah. So the playoffs are set. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: don't know how much you care. I care. I care.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Moose doesn't care because the Red Sox are out. Rangers
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: aren't there either. But Alonja's Yankees, my Braves still in it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Tight. That's the MLB playoff breakdown.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I hope one of y'all win. Thank you. And I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: hate the Dodgers with all my heart.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: So it did my heart well that it was the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Phillies that the Braves beat, which you know they're like
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: top three of my hate list.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And then the Dodgers are on there as well. Would
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it be fun if I cheered for the Dodgers? It
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: would be very you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It would be very you to cheer for something that's
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: against me for no reason.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: It's good players over there. Shohei, good guy.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I would hope they had good players over there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Have you seen their payroll? Got a couple of them. Yes.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They pay them a couple dollars apiece. That's the fun
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: thing about baseball, though. You can be a good player,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: but not play very good. And still get what? In
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. And also guaranteed money. Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: All right, we are going to step away. When we
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: come back, we'll dive into the top 25 in college football,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: some of the bigger matchups across the country.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Of course, we'll give a look at LSU and McNeese.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: We'll certainly give a deep look into the Saints and
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the Falcons coming up on Monday night. It won't be
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: our final preview, as we'll have Monday's show, obviously, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a look at what this game is, what this game means,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and we'll break it all down when we jump back here.

  Speaker 3: Or wherever you want it. Go to the works. So
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you want to flex on people at work? Yeah, don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: drive in the backyard. Hey, can you bring it to
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the job? Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Why? That's true. So I can get my.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Black Widow and be like, hey, you saw Black Widow
• 15:23

  Speaker 3: Go to bayouautomotive.com.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Today to buy your next vehicle.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: All right, let's take a look at the slate in
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: college football.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: We started doing this a little bit yesterday.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: We kind of went over who played who, what the
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: spread looked like, not a deep dive into the games.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: And Alondra and Tay-Tay, I'm sorry to let you know
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: that Notre Dame is now a 21-and-a-half point favorite. So
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping that that little bitty hook Doesn't make dum-dum
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: over here.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Go North Carolina again this week. Well, North Carolina might
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: win outright. So, that hook doesn't scare me. Their third
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: receiver's playing, though. North Carolina's. He's in? Purdue's didn't play
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: last week. Oh, so he's in. Yes. Perfect. That line
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: should have moved the other way. Oh, Jesus. Don't blame him.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'm asking him for guidance. Please help my friend. All right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So Notre Dame, North Carolina. 21 and a half. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that's a big number. Real stinky because obviously everybody's going
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to be hammering. Nobody but you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: We're not allowing that game to even come into the process.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Alabama. I don't like how there's not enough people around
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the nation. hating on Notre Dame right now. I don't
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: really like how you're not hating on them as much.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I can hate on them, but I'm not betting against
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: them right now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But you don't hate. You could hate on them, but
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you don't.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Because I'm trying to make our listeners money, and last week,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: if you would have just done it with your mind
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and not your heart.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But we only have one betting segment a week.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you've run the last two weeks.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You've got a lot of other segments to hate on
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and you don't. You choose not to. I mean.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I try not to talk about them because I don't.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Care about them. See? That's a– I don't like that attitude.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, when they play somebody of note, I'll
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: hate on them that week. So Miami week. Greatest head
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: coach in NFL history?
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Not college coach. Anyways, Alabama and Mississippi State.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Alabama number seven.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State number 16 in the country.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Alabama, this line's, I mean, gone back. It's gone forward.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: It's gone a little bit of everywhere. Now Alabama back
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to a six-point favorite. It had been bet down to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: four and a half. It went to five and a half,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: and now it's at six. What kind of chances do
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: you give Mississippi State, Mario Taylor, that high-powered offense at
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: home with the Cowbells, Davis-Wade Stadium at 11 a.m.? Well, look,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: this is like.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: As far as 11 a.m. games go, this one's going
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to be a fun one. I'm looking forward to this
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: one kicking off and watching two really talented young quarterbacks
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: play that have both shown, like, big-time flashes. So, from
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: just a fan enjoyment, just a fan of football enjoyment,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that this game, like, it delivers what it could. Yeah. Like,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: really good quarterback. Like, it would be awesome to see
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: two quarterbacks, though, for 300-plus yards in this game and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: just kind of, showcase their skill set. Like 41-38. Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mississippi State, like, you got to say that,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: what did you say, the six point? Yeah. The total
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: on this game? 60 and a half. Holy cow. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: think they're going over that, by the way. That's fine.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, if the buildup to the game delivers like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it could, like these quarterbacks deliver like they have been
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: this season so far, I mean....
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if I was having to bet, I'm
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: not going to touch it. But if I was having
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to bet that one, I would go over. It's going
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: to be a fun game to watch. I'm looking forward
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Early, too. Love it. Love that, you know, every window's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: kind of got a game, too. Yeah, I do. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: do like that. Now, this game should probably be at night, but.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to be at the soccer field
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: tomorrow during that one. So you said you had soccer
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: at 1. No, it's Sunday. Yep. Last week, guys, so
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Tuzet plays tomorrow. So, let's see, last week they played
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: at 9, which was great. Tuzet's got a strong kick. Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: how's your shin doing? Exactly. Uh-huh. Really strong. that thing
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: in half, didn't she?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It's like an early 2000s movie.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's flirting.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just coming up, just smoking me in the shin, okay.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: It would have been better if she kicked you in
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the shin and then ran off giggling. No, she went
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to kick you. Yeah, she went to kick me. So, see,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you're not alone, bud. How do you feel about, like, obviously,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State's better than they have been, and they're relevant,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and they've looked really good. So, obviously, they have a chance.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask you, like, hey, do you
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: think they actually have a chance?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I think what changes the entire math for them, because
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: if they were like, oh, it's a fun story, oh,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: it's a– I'm not patting them on their head. They're
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: too good for that. Kamario Taylor's too good for that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Jeff Levy's too good for that. And Jeff is a
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: hell of a play caller. Like, this game's going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: come down to Jeff Levy versus Kane Womack, the defense
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: coordinator for Alabama. Like, that's what it's going to come
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: down to. Who's going to win that battle? I don't
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: know that you stopped Kamario Taylor. Now, can Mississippi State
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: stop Russell on the other side?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Like, we don't know that.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: That's why I think 41-38 or something crazy like that
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: is going to happen.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Kamario Taylor on the season, 83 of 120. That's nearly
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a set, just under 70% completion. 1,192 yards, 14 touchdowns,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: only two interceptions. He's added another 185 yards on the ground. So,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: to your point, playing his ass off. Yes. Playing really well.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: And making every throw. I was, I'm so, I'm, I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: impressed by this 69.2% completion, which is, I mean, it's
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State, y'all. I mean, it's not supposed to be
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like that, but it is. Is it a work of art,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a thing of beauty to watch that ball come out
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: of his hand? Oh, my God. I could watch him throw,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: just put it on loop on my timeline, and I'd
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: just sit there and watch it. If you were watching
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: him on pregame, he's one of those guys, you would
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: be able to hear him throw it. you know what
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: i mean yeah like you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Would hear every finger touching the football as it's released
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: so yeah they got a chance it's going to be
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a great atmosphere i'm not touching this game just because
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: i've seen this line before it's like mississippi state's either
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: going to win or lose by 40 it feels like
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: whenever we like hype a game up like this like
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: there's like no in between it feels like.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And on the other side alabama keyline's not playing bad
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: as his own self he's um He's 78 of 110.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: He's got 70.9% completion so far on the season. 1,129 yards,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: eight touchdowns, two interceptions, and he's added 168 on the ground,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: but three touchdowns with his legs, too. Yeah. Now, he's
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: got six less touchdowns than Camario. Right. But still doing it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: He's got a couple more rushing touchdowns. So, obviously, probably
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit more balanced attack at Alabama than it
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: is over at Mississippi State. Yeah. But, look, that's going
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to be a fun game. And you know. I mean,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: anything can happen on the 11 a.m. games. I mean,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: if Alabama goes into that game half-stepping in the slightest,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like Jeff Levy's got the easy job
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: in this one.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Like, keep your guys motivated because they've felt success. Now
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: they've tasted success that they've never, ever had.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure the support around them in Starkville is like,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I bet they can feel it when they go pump
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: gas pretty much. They can feel that support.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: So, yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I think Alabama's got the tougher task at hand to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: get motivated for that game. But, you know, they've watched
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the film all week. Right. So I'm sure it's not
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: too hard.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: It'll be a good one. But 11 a.m. games can
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: always be a little tricky.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: They can. Eating filet mignon at 630 in the morning.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Does that favor the home or the away team? Ooh,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that's a good question. Probably the home team. Because, I
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: don't know, I always think about pregame meals.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: That's what I always go to because morning games, your
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: routine is thrown.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Off so much. Your coaches try to keep the routine
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the same.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Right. But like I said, we make the joke all
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the time about eating filet at 6 in the morning. Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: But at least you know what that filet is going
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: to taste like and look like and who's going to
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: cook it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: If you're on an away game, you're at some random Marriott. Nice.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: He said, I'm not picking those cherries up.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sliding these things. I'm going to slide these things
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: all the way across. I think he looked at me
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and winked.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Too like watch this watch this listen to this all.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Right where's that guy with that i want to see
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that guy with the hover around camera yeah i want
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to give him a high five as he comes by
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: i didn't even know like it flashed before my like
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: my peripherals yeah like last week yeah me too anyhow
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: i think i might wake up tomorrow and have me
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: a steak in the morning.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Steak and eggs no steak and eggs yeah In honor
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: of 11 a.m.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Kick. We went to Waffle House last weekend, and it was,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: we hadn't been to Waffle House in months, which is
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a mistake on our part. Yeah. I was like, man,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: this might become a weekly tradition here. There you go.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Everybody's happy. Smiles. Five smiles in our family.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: It's usually the later at a Waffle House, later in
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the day it gets, that's when people become unhappy.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: That's true. You know. That was fair. It was on Saturday,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, so there was a lot of. LSU people,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of A & M people, and it
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: was real friendly. I was asking A & M, you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: questions about College Station.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Me just mingling with the. Yale practice and Yale leaders. Yeah,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, those Yalies are sweet, huh?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Why do they hiss at people?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Jumping in a fountain, and they're all white get-ups when they,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: you know, the win.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. All those things. It's your people. All right, we'll
• 25:35

  Speaker 3: You know, you really feel like a DJ if you're
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: like standing up around this board and it's like.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Crowd goes wild a little bit. Yeah. Wait, what's this
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: one that's got the music to it? No. No, that's
• 27:34

• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. You couldn't play it, bro.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: No.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Don't be jealous. Moose, I'm going to need you to
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: wake up over there. He's on a struggle bus.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I looked over twice, and Moose has had to reel
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: his jaw back in.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: What time did you have to get up today? 4.35.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Why that extra five minutes? Like an extra little hook
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: on your sleep. Ah, we went with a five, so
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I got it. I didn't know if you were like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: should I go 4.30? You know what? I'm going to
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: get that extra five, 4.35.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I like to sleep, like, when we go
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: to Rouse's, like, it's real close to my house.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to sleep in.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I had a random 606 alarm. Okay. Oh, was that
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: on accident? I don't know. 606. That last 60 seconds
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: actually can make a big difference. It can't hurt. Every
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: now and then. You know, so I still haven't changed
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: my nightly routine since I've started doing this show. Right.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: So I went to bed at 1245 last night. It
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: was one of those deals. We're watching a movie. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: didn't mean to. That's later than normal. And it was
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: one of those deals where we started watching a movie. Yes, yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: And then the movie just didn't end, and I just
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: watched it until the end. It just kept going. It
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: just kept going. It's crazy. It's good. It's weird how
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: it works. It was a new little comedy. That comedian,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Nate Bergazzi. We tried to watch that. It was funny.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I laughed. I laughed out loud. I chuckled a couple times.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: It was cheesy. Oh, it's very cheesy, and I'm not
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: going to say it's going to win an award. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: very stressful. See, I can't deal with that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Like, when the horse tore up the house like that, nope,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: got to fast forward.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: This is, who's going to clean all that up? Can't
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: do it. You're stressed? It is stressful. But it's not
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: your house. It doesn't matter. I'm like, oh, my God.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: A horse.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Gonna let the horse in the house nate.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: We didn't finish it we got 15 minutes we got
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: a different definition of stress i think we did it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: fine i'm not judging you for yours well i'm judging
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: you a little bit for yours.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: You always do i know i just Nate's funny. Nate's
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: very funny. He is very funny. But I did not
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: find it to be that funny. That will never be rewatched.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right. Yeah.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: You're going to watch the other guys.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: If it's on TBS, you're stopping. Yeah.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: If that movie's on TBS. Oh, I saw that one time.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've seen a movie. I'm trying
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: to think here. You know how, like, in college, like,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I would watch the same movie a billion times. Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And maybe even a couple years after college, watched a
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: movie a billion times. I don't know if I've watched
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: a movie for the first time, like a newer movie,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: in my 30s and been like, I'm going to re-watch
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: that 10, 20 times. Now, there's really good movies that
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I've re-watched a second time years later. But, like, the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: other guys. Like, what about, like, Beer Fest? Like those
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: dumb movies back when we were a little bit younger.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I would watch it, and I'd get on DVD, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I'd watch it. Three times a week. Yeah. Because I
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: just wanted to laugh. Yeah. Old school. Maybe because it's
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: so much content. We have so much available to us.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe so. We didn't have streaming services. We didn't have
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: streaming services. Streaming services was you getting up and putting
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the DVD in the tray. All right. I didn't say
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: it was awful. I didn't say it was the best
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: movie ever. I just was watching it. I was into it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I wasn't stressed. I was just into it. Dude.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: No dad is that bad at dadding.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it wouldn't be a good movie. I know.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I know, but I'm like, nobody's that bad.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: He knows how to wash clothes. Washing clothes isn't that easy.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: It ain't that hard.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But it was the towels. There were so many towels.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Anyways, funny to find a transition. Mm-hmm.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: The Vanderbilt quarterback, Jerry Curtis, was in the movie that
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: we're talking about. Oh, I did see a guy with
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: a Vanderbilt hat. He was the Vanderbilt guy with the
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: double stud earrings.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Okay. Jerry Curtis, the Vanderbilt quarterback. I definitely knew who
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the Vanderbilt quarterback was.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: It was an NIL deal for him. One of the
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: things to get him to go to Vanderbilt.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Really? He's in a movie. He was.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: He was getting a minivan at the beginning of that movie.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. That's right. And they play Georgia this weekend. Okay,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a good one. In Athens. Okay,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a good one. Number two, Georgia. Vanderbilt,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: a 25-and-a-half point. Is Georgia good? I really haven't heard
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: anybody talk about them this year. They're okay if you're
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: into that kind of thing. Isn't it funny how Georgia doesn't, like,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: we just expect them to be there, so nobody really
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: discusses them. Nobody talks. No one predicts them to win
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the national championship. Now, the conversation changes, like, you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: this point of the season where we're like, wait a minute. Well,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I know you do. I know, but it's just you
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: just don't hear people talk about it much.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of the conversation around them this year
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: is like they've played Tennessee State, Western Kentucky.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: You can say that, but also you can watch the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: tape and be like, no, they're really damn good.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Gunnar Stockton's really good.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Gunnar Stockton is the most hated-on quarterback for no reason.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: the most disrespected quarterback for no reason. He's a really
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: good football player. He's completing 74% of his passes right now. 74,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: 754 yards, 10 touchdowns, only one interception. He's run for
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: another 100 yards on 13 carries, right? 7.7 yards per carry.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: He's got a 62-yard run under his belt this year.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Pretty good.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: I think Gunnar Stockton's a really good player, and because
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: he looks like, He should.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Be selling insurance.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Nobody gives him a lot of respect when it comes
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: to top quarterback list.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of good quarterbacks in
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: the SEC. So there's, you know, for a reason he's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: not in anybody's, like, top quarterback. He should be. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: got it. I hadn't watched him play one snap this year,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: so I can't really tell you. I've watched him in
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: the past, and I've seen him play good, and I've
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: seen him play bad. I've seen his hairline. What?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: What?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Why did that man just catch that stray? He catches
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: it every time, and he gets it. I'm not telling
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: him anything he doesn't know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: That's uncalled for. I have a bad one. Yeah, you're 41.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: That's true. You didn't have a bad one at 21.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Gunner. My bad, bro. Man. Right here. Sorry, Gunner.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: George is really good, by the way. I know. They're
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: going to beat the brakes off Vanderbilt. They are. Looking
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: at their schedule....
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: They're going to have at Alabama next week. They're going
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: to have Florida neutral site game on Halloween. They go
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: to Ole Miss on November the 7th, and then they
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: host Missouri November 14th.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: That's about it.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Vanderbilt this week, Auburn on the 17th of October, South
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Carolina November 21st, and then Georgia Tech to end the season.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: How many– They've played four games? Yeah. I'm looking at
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: the passing stats here of all the top quarterbacks in
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the country. PFF grades, you know kind of how I
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: feel about that. It's a good tool to use. He's
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: 14th in passer grades. Yeah. I'm looking at this. This
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: kind of shows you the competition they played. 70 pass attempts. Yeah. 70. Yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: That is... That's averaging, what, 15 a game-ish? A little
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: bit more? That's not a lot. That means they're blowing
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: people out. They are. And scoring a lot, scoring quickly.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: He's got 10 touchdowns to one interception. Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Last week he threw 25 passes against Oklahoma.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: To your point, he's playing great, but he should be
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: 74% completion. Fair enough. He's not going to strike like
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Marler does. But, I mean, like, we just read some
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: stats where Camario, Taylor, and Keyline have both thrown for
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: over twice as many pass attempts than he has. Right.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. He is a good quarterback. I can't
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: wait to see them play somebody.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: The other big game in the SEC is going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: be number eight, Florida, at number 25, Missouri.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: They're in Como. Florida, five-and-a-half-point favorite in this contest.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: It feels like, oh, my gosh, let me go run
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: to the window to place a bet.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Florida dominated Ole Miss, Missouri.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: They then lost to Mississippi State. Florida has not historically
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: played good in Como, but Florida hasn't had John Summer
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I think Florida rules. I do, too.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Austin Simmons is playing great, by the way, for Missouri.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: They're a quarterback. He is.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: But Jaden Baugh has 600 rushing yards already on the
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: year and 11 tuds on the ground.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: And that's one thing. You talk about playing in sleepy places.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: You don't have a great record here, don't have a
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: great record there, whatever. What's the atmosphere going to be like?
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Something that travels fast. to every single stadium in the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: whole world at any time of the day is a
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: running game. A running game travels. Now, sometimes that passing
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: game can be a little sleepy, a little tough to
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: get started, get in the groove because it takes everybody.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: But with a head coach like John Summerall, a running
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: game travels because they're mentally going to be ready to play.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: They are going to... He's got the... I would love
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: to hear a pregame speech from Summerall. He's going to
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: have them fired up and to be fired up, that's
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: what you... I mean, running game is an attitude, and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: we've got a running back like that. Running games, travel,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: that's why I look for them to roll. Like a
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: lot of times it's these teams that are very pass-happy
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: that kind of have slow starts in some of these games. So, yeah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Florida rolls. That line to me is stinky. I don't
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: know if this is people overanalyzing running these analytics on
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: games Eli Drinkwitz, you know, saying he's so-and-so record. Look
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: at this winning record percentage, you know, coming off of
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: a loss in the SEC at home. Like, they're overanalyzing
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: this for these bets. Florida should be seven, seven point.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: It should be, so. Could we hear that one later, maybe?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: You could. I just don't want to be too predictable.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be too predictable, so we want
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: to pick some weird names. There's a lot of pressure
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: on you this week, bud. There's a lot of pressure
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: on y'all. Y'all been talking a lot of ish about
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: how good y'all are at picking coin flips. No, we're
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: two weeks in a row, bud. I can't believe you
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: didn't pick tails. I've been two weeks in a row.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: You know it's going to hit heads.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: See, but the thing about your pick is that it
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: wasn't a 50-50 coin flip at all. And you're trying
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: to justify it. And there's literally no justification for it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: And you're starting to, like, really make me angry.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: It's absolute. A betting line is a coin flip. It
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: was such a bad pick that I told you. My
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: own mother went with our three picks and left yours out,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: and she won $ 75.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: It was a good bet. It was a good bet.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: She did good. I lost. Barely. All right. We'll take
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: a break. We're going to have.– it was not even barely.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Don't even say that. We're going to take a break.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: We're going to have more breakdowns of some of the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: bigger games in college football when we come back here
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: live from Rouse's.

• 41:09
  Speaker 2: game again this week, huh? No. Wow. We've been... Kind
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: of birthday party free for a while now. There's some
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: birthday parties this weekend. Back at it, you know? How
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: dare them be born during football season? I know, right?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: If I'm being honest. It was kind of selfish. What
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the heck was happening three months from now? You know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: seven years ago. Yeah, I got it. We got it. Yeah,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I got it. Congrats.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Number four, Miami, traveling to Clemson to take on the
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Fighting Davos Sweeneys. Miami, a 16-and-a-half-point favorite in Clemson, South Carolina.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I know you've said that a decent amount this week,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: and every time it just kind of makes me chuckle.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Every single time. Doesn't get old to hear Clemson being
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that big underdogs. It's kind of fun. What do you think?
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I think you're a sicko if you bet that one.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I think. A sicko or you've got an issue.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: You've got an issue if you're betting that one because
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: everybody knows. I know Clemson's won a couple here. They're
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: not good. Miami's looked really good. Vince is playing fantastic.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: He's got, like, the highest grade of anybody in the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: whole country and all the colleges, big and small. Yeah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: So he's playing really well. So, yeah, I think everybody,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: nobody would be surprised if Miami covers this line. But
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: then again, it's like, you know, what could they do?
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Catch a couple of plays here and there. That's a
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: tough line. Yeah. If it was 12, if it was 11,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: if it was 13 and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: 13 and a half. 13 and a half I would go.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: You could bet it down. You could backdoor a 16
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: and a half. This might be one of those games
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: that if you wanted just to watch the game and
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: make money while Dabo cries, like this would be the
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: game to watch it and just– Hope that Clemson, like,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: kicks a field goal early or scores first, like, takes
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: an early lead, and then you hammer it live and
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: catch them under a touchdown or under two touchdowns. That
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: might be a wait-and-see live bet little situation on that game.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Another line that is a little fishy here, just real
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: quick on this game, number 24, Kentucky, a three-point dog
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: on the road against South Carolina.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: South Carolina's not good. Mm-hmm.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying– They got a little Norris. He's part
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: of the problem right now. I'm not saying Kentucky should be, like,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: a seven-point favorite or anything, but I'm surprised that on
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the road they're not, like, a point-and-a-half favorite.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Right. Three-point dog. Yeah, three-point dog against South Carolina.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: And, you know, just as a reminder for South Carolina–
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: They've lost their last two.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: In the SEC.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Now they've played Mississippi State and at Alabama, but I
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: don't know. Feels like a third straight loss for South Carolina,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: and it might be it for my guy Shane Beamer.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kentucky, let's see. Kentucky coming off a win versus
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: South Alabama, who's a salty little team. Yeah, they were
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: playing well, too. That was a tight game early on,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: but they went 45-21. And then, of course, they went
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: on the road, beat Texas A & M 31-21. How
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: good are they? We'll see.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: True.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: All right, we've got more games to talk about. We've
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: got Saints to talk about. We'll do it all right
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: here on OTB.
