Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, it's Ashanti Plummer from Fud Around and Find Out. This week, AZ Fudd and I sat down with Step and Curry. Step talks pressure, confidence, and what it really takes to stay great. There's different categories, I guess, on like conditioning, shooting drills where you try to simulate kind of games. Look at her face.

We have a love-hate relationship with those because you know you're getting something out of it. You don't look forward to those days. Listen to Fud Around and Find out on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you your podcast. Welcome to another episode of Bet the Bus. I am your host, Payoff Willie. I'm with the boys in the back as always.

Like, you know, there's been nicknames all year long. You got J.P. Parlay, Hovey, you got Jackie Slips. You got the Gobble. You got the Midnight Man himself, the Ferry, Gary Ferry. And then you also Mitch Carsley. Look, this show bets on college football. The records we're at right now? I think we were, what, 45, 26, and 2 last week.

We go into this weekend. Jack's going to recap in a minute. It wasn't the best weekend. on a winning weekend, but who gives you shit? It does not matter. What matters is it's championship week. Do not apologize for where we are. Do not apologize for where this team is at.

We've earned the right to be in this situation. Don't apologize for it. We're talking five games, the big five, Pac-12 championship, Big Ten championship, Big 12 championship, SEC championship, and ACC championship. They barely kind of make the cut. That's, you know, Louisville, Florida.

We are going to cover it. However, these picks, this show is going to get your meat hotter than a brand new dad buying a pit boss grill. No free shot us to pit boss grill. Jack, go ahead and recap us last week. I know everybody kind of had their own little picks. So you can also kind of recap, you know, that some of the people should be following a couple of the savants in the back. Yeah, a rivalry week. It gets us all.

The highest on the board was in even 500. So this week we're looking to improve. But we will just go ahead and rattle off these records. Will went two and four. Garrett went two and four. Mitch went two and four. JP and myself both went three and three. We were looking for a little bit more of a favorable outcome.

We want to be in that green. And we did not supply last week. But that is why Floyd Mayweather Jr. always says a true champion can adapt to anything. And that's what we're here to do this week. We're here to adapt. and win go 100% on the board. Do you want to give us a little... People are still tuned in

after the Floyd Mayweather Jr. quote, we got some movement this week. I came up with a fun little idea. For every... Let me try and think about this. For every comment that is in the comment section, I'm going to add a dollar per comment. All you got to do is put your Twitter handle

and also tag a friend. So hang on. If the bet hits, there will be a random commenter that will get the winnings of this bet that we put toward like for, okay, okay, let me. Let me bite this thing up. All right. Here we go. Hey, if you're still tuned to, if you're still tuned in, number one, don't forget to subscribe. However, one comment equals $1.

And every comment that we get, it builds the pot. I'm going to put my own money into this pot for every comment that happens on this episode. And once all the comments are done by whatever time we say, It's probably going to be Saturday right before the first kickoff. We're going to see how many comments there are. If it's 927 comments, I'm putting $927 to our collective lock of the week or a little parlay that JP might have cooked up for us. But either way, all of those winnings are going to go to you, be split between you

and the friend that you tagged. All you have to do is comment. Put your Twitter handle and tag a buddy, tag a friend because we had to tell friends, we've got to spread the good news. Also what we're going to do on this episode. is I'm going to rattle off the data. And since the boys in the back did a better job than the boys up front last week, JP, I'm talking about JP Hovey, I'm talking about Jackie Sliffs.

Since some guys have an opportunity to do better, everybody will have a pick on the game. You're either going to pick the spread or you're going to pick one on the points. There's going to be four answers, multiple choice similar to who wants to be a millionaire. And also, we were looking at, we were trying to get Taylor, trying to get Louis Locke's on the bus for this episode. He didn't want to come on. He does have a message for us, though. What's the message? This is verbatim from Lou Lox.

Play. Oh, God. My fucker. I'm not doing that because I don't know where to find it, but if you can't impose, play Hail to the Victors over this, which is the Michigan Fight Song. Fuck everyone on the bus except JP. Y'all are all losers.

And now also add JP to the fuck you list. You need better spelling Taylor. Fuck you list because of what he said about the college football playoff. Michigan. against the world. God bless and go blue. So, Taylor, he didn't want to come on because everybody voted against Michigan last week on bet the bus, which is, I switched my pick right before. I put 500 bucks on Michigan. Fortunately, I won that money. I was hoping to not really win that money because I was trying

to fade myself and play some different gambling antics. But Louis Loxy doesn't want to join us because everybody went against his team. Look, in my opinion, you're not a good friend if you don't like chirp your boy and root against his team at times. And for Michigan, like, any Michigan fans and people that are out there, oh, the boys don't support. put a fucking binkie in your mouth and go cry to your mommy. No one gives a shit. Like we want teams to win. We want teams to lose.

We get to decide. We get to have the fun. And Jack, go ahead and kick off this first game. Championship week. Let's dial it in. All right, starting in the Atlantic Coastal Conference, we have Florida State versus Louisville. The line is minus two and a half, over under 48 and a half. Still no Jordan Travis for Florida State.

Where are you starting? All right. So I'm going to rattle off the data here. And then we're going to go one by one. somebody pick one, okay? Florida State without Jordan Travis. That's a great stat right there, Mitch. Their backup, Tate Roadmaker played well against Florida last week. That's some great data. The last six games in this matchup, it's three and three. Okay, 50 percent. I don't know if that data should have made this. Louisville is nine and one when rushing for more than 100 yards.

Florida State opened up as a five and a half point favorite, and it has gone down to two and a half because people are believing in Louisville. With that being said, the spread sitting right now is Florida State minus two and a half. The over under on total points is 48.5. J.P. Hovey. Lights get dark. Who wants to be a millionaire? What is your choice?

My choice is easy. You keep it in the family. The Brom family is leading Louisville. Brian Brom, Jeff Brom, they both played at Louisville. One's the head coach. One's the O.C. It means more to them. And that is why Louisville is covering in this game.

Got Louisville plus two and a half. I would have to disagree. it means more to Florida State their leader, their presence, their QB, Jordan Travis, hurt, devastating injury. I think that they're going to win this for him, so I'll be going Florida State minus two and a half. Gary Picks?

This is tough, but I think I have to go Louisville plus two and a half as well. Mitch? Louisville plus three and a half. I'm going Louisville plus two and a half as well. I like Louisville in this game. and a part of, like, I want chaos in this college football playoff. I want Florida State to lose.

Like, yeah, I think they have really good reason for wanting to win for Jordan Travis. Like, they got a lot to, you know, they're inspired by a lot to win this game, which I get, I understand. I love that about it. But I personally, I want chaos in the college football playoff. I want one lost teams across the board. And I want to see who gets in the final four. So I'm picking Louisville plus two and a half.

Remember, leave comments, tag a friend, use your Twitter name. Every comment that gets put in gets matched by a dollar, and that adds up. Kind of like the yodle are on Price is right. The more numbers, the more he climbs the mountain, the higher it is, the bigger the reward. Next game, Jack. West Coast, Pac-12. We got Oregon versus Washington. The line is 9.5.

Over under, it's 66.5. A lot of points, but it is the Pack 12 known for putting up numbers. Where are you at? This is a massive game. Oregon, yeah, their only loss is two Washington. and they lost 36 to 33 in their last one. Oregon is a, they've been on, you know, what is it? Terror.

Terror? Yes. Terror. We've went over this before. Yeah. It's tear? Terror. They've been on a tear since their loss.

Oregon has won every game since they're lost by an average of 26 points. Bo Nix leads the nation in passing yards with 3,900 and second most in TDs. Troy Franklin has the second most TDs in the country with 14. Oregon's defense has only allowed two. total touchdowns in their last two games. Boys. Joey Parley, where are you going? Minus 9.5. Oregon right now, the total on 0.66.

And a half. You take it over, you take an under, you take an Oregon to cover, you take in Washington. It all seems crazy that it's nine and a half, considering Washington beat them. But Oregon gave them the game last time by going for it. So I will be riding Oregon to cover minus 9.5. I do think Oregon. That's a nutty pick. I kind of...

Yeah, I think Oregon is the victor at the end of this game, but I think nine and a half points is way too many. Washington's on a perfect run. I want to believe in the Cinderella story, so I will be going Washington plus nine and a half. Gee? Yeah, this is tough. The last game was at Washington, I believe.

Like JP said, Oregon gave it to him, but I think Oregon's on a roll. Washington struggled with their wins, but I think Oregon gets this win nine and a half. I'm going to go with Washington plus nine and a half and the over. Oh, you're going with the over. You got two.

You want two of them in there. I think I'm going Oregon. I think I'm going Oregon to cover. I just, I like their team. I think that they play tough defense. I think that not like the other Pack 12 teams where they're light in the ass.

They have good trenches. I want to see them go to the college football playoff because I do think that they can compete. Don't want to give away a future pick by saying what I want the final four to be. but again, Oregon winning creates more chaos. I want chaos. I want Oregon minus nine and a half to cover.

All right, moving on, Big 12. We got Texas first Oklahoma State. The line is 13 and a half over under at 55 and a half. Texas, man. I think it's Texas. You think it's Texas? Texas, yeah. I don't know.

Spread right now minus 13 and a half. Texas is only allowing 85 yards rushing per game. Oklahoma State has won both matchups with Sarkeesian at Texas. Texas is last game a part of the Big 12. before their move to the SEC. That's a great thing to note, Mitch. Texas handled Texas Tech last week. Oklahoma State struggled against BYU.

The total in points is 55 and a half. The spread, Texas is favored by 13.5. I know for me, I will just say it right now. I'm going to go with Texas to cover minus 13.5. Godly, that's a lot of points. I want Texas to win because I want Texas to make the final four. I want Michigan, Texas, Oregon, And then whoever we talk about in this SEC championship game, because that is a massive game.

I think I'm right with Texas, minus 13 and a half. Yeah, I'm going with Texas minus 13 and a half. J.P. I'm also riding Texas minus 13 a half. What do you got, Jack? Yeah, Texas minus 13 and a half, and I'm actually going to take the under in this game. Okay. You think they're going to play some stout D against Oklahoma State? Yeah, I mean, as you can see, Texas only allowing 85 rushing yards per game.

Even though Sarks got things figured out, it seems, and their 10-half-point favorites, five-and-two against a spread when they're 10-and-half point favorites or more. I do think it's going to be a big moment, so it might be a defensive battle in the Big 12 under in Texas minus 13-5. Hey, I do like that data point that you came up with Jack. Five and two against a spread when they're 10-and-a-half-point favorites or more under Sark. Just kidding. That's Mitchie-Data.

That's Mitchie-Data. That's Mitchie-Data. My fault, Mitch. Do we know who is playing quarterback for Texas? Quinn? Quinn's back? Fuck Quinn. yours. I think Oklahoma State's

gonna... I'm gonna take Oklahoma State 13 and a half, plus 13 and a half. But do you think that they'll upset him? I don't think so. I would love that. Yeah. I would love that, but I just don't think so. Texas rolled last week. Now, do you think, obviously everybody watching knows

that Garrett, he's got his Alabama hat on too. He went to Alabama. But do you think Texas wins? Alabama wins the SEC championship. Does Alabama get in over a Texas. Of course. If they barely beat Oklahoma State.

Yeah. But I would like to see chaos where they're both in. Yeah. I would like that. Because it's your rematch in a game that took place in September. Like it's very different than, you know, to me, in my opinion, the SEC championship should be to play into the playoff. I've said that.

Who else we got, Mitch? Texas. Texas minus 13 and a half? Correct. And you're the only one going to Oklahoma State plus 13 and a half. All right, everybody else is going Texas minus 13 and a half. kickoff is this no we got two more games we got two more games let's go to the big 10 championship i think this one's interesting yeah big 10 championship um the obvious one for taylor

michigan versus iowa kind of the most boring of the championship games spread is 23 over under 35 and a half in big 10 fashion where are you going this is crazy clearly the most lopsided game this weekend uh i was defense is fourth of the nation allowing just 12 point two point per game. I don't know. Last year, Michigan beat the shit out of him 42 to 3. Two years ago. I don't know, man.

I think I'm going to take the under. I'm going under, I believe, in this game. If Iowa has a shot in hell, that's going to be under, and I can also see that Michigan wins like 31 to 3. So I'm going to go under Iowa versus Michigan. You never know. Michigan could beat their ass. I mean, Iowa, you know, arguably played a gauntlet of a schedule.

Big Ten West beats up on each other. They're not going to be at full health this week. weekend against Michigan. So who knows how it's going. I'm going to go under 35 and a half points on the Michigan Iowa game. Big Ten Championship. I am going to go over 35 and a half points

because Iowa's defense, it's impressive, but they have not really played against, like, legit offenses. Michigan is extremely talented. They're more talented than they were two years ago. So I could see Michigan scoring all of these points. Just could be 35 nothing. Yeah.

If Taylor was on this bus, I 100% was going to take Iowa with the points. I think Taylor was, even before Taylor was over there and he's like, I, you know, I might take Iowa with the points. You guys know how it is when it's above 20, you kind of take the other team because Michigan doesn't cover a whole lot. I'm going to take Iowa plus 23. Yeah. I'm going to take Iowa plus 23rd. Michigan versus everybody, man. Embrace it.

This one is boring, but I kind of agree with Hove. and I think the over is going to hit and I think Michigan has all the points. I think it'll just be a game where Iowa might score a touchdown because they're going to have that one like crazy trick play that they've been like holding out for all season.

It's going to be nice. It's going to happen early in the game. They'll be like, oh, Iowa, like they might roll and then that'll be the last points they score. So I think they'll get their one trick play touchdown. Deep shot to the quarterback 260s running out of the sidelines. Where are you going, Mitch?

I'm going Michigan with the points and the over. You're going to two. picks as well. Okay, you're putting a lot on the fucking line, dude. If you want to ride with me. All right. Do it. All right. Let's get into the, uh, the final game. The best for last. The best for last, the final game of the week, the SEC championship. Georgia versus Alabama. Go ahead, Jack. Line up your first Alabama. Minus four and a half. Over under is 56 and a half. The battle in Atlanta. Will it be a home game for Georgia? Will Alabama be able to recreate something that they haven't been able to do the last few years?

years. Go ahead and give us your... No, what are you going? I am going Georgia minus four and a half. Alabama versus Auburn. I said it last week. Everyone was on Auburn, Bama minus 15 or whatever. I said, look, they just lost to New Mexico State. They paid them $1.7 million.

They're going to come out angry, and they did. And they almost beat Alabama if it wasn't for one of the craziest rivalry week or just possible endings to a college football game in the last decade. So I'll be going Georgia minus four and a half. It's in Atlanta. I think there's going to be a lot people that show off for both teams, but Georgia is hitting that late season stride.

Georgia minus four and a half. And I'm taking the over 50s and a half. Oh, you dirty little bastard, Jack. Jack, you and G, best friends. Is there anything personal with that pick going Georgia? Oh, no, not at all. I mean, at the end of the day, I would honestly like to see Alabama probably over Georgia because they're SC West versus SC East.

But no, no animosity towards anyone. this is strictly just just business. Yeah, unbiased business decisions. JP, go ahead. You don't win a game like Alabama won last week and not make it to the college football playoff. Every single team, you get a little bit of luck

when you make that run. Alabama got their luck. And I think Alabama beats Georgia. I got Alabama money line. You're saying you don't make the college football playoff without a game like that? You don't make a national championship. I'm saying...

They got the juju right now. They got the juju. If Alabama gets into the college football playoff, they win the college football playoff. That's what I'm saying. Garrett, what are you saying? I'm going to have to grieve with Hove.

Georgia has been number one all year. They're two time repeating champs, but just like we struggled last week with Auburn, they struggled with Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech. They lost a bowling green. They lost a bowling green. They're not in the SEC.

Hey, Auburn's not that good They're not that good, but they're in the SEC And that stadium has a curse That stadium has a curse You watch that matchup a little longer Now that we're friends, you'll see But we got our revenge a decade later And I think we take it money line

And everyone better watch the fuck out Because we're coming I'm gonna go strictly just the over I think this is too close to call I want Alabama to win Just because it would cause Put the playoff committee in an absolute Blender, but I don't want to put my reputation on that.

So I'm going to go with the over. Georgia scored 30 points in the last seven games, and the over has hit in eight straight of Alabama's games. So I'm going with the over. The over has hit in the eight straight. Yep, of Alabama games. That might be the move. Put me down for the over.

Are you over, Jack? You're over, right? Mitch is over. Garrett, are you over? I honestly think it's the only. Go contrary. Look, I'm going to go. I'm going Bama. I'm going Bama. And I literally just changed my mind because I was going to go Georgia because I think the way that they survived and escaped against Auburn is kind of like, man, are they ready for Georgia? But whoever said that the trick play, I think it was J.P. And then you said Ju-J-J-J-J-Oh, whoever said they got the juice. I think it was you guys in the bag. Not the trick-play, getting lucky on a play. And then they got the juice because they made some. something happened at the end. That mentality is not wrong because you do escape, you get into the locker room, you basically just say, hey, you know, survive in advance, you're getting to the big

dance. Like, this is the only game you need to win to get into the college football playoff. I think that they are all focused on that. And I think Milro, knowing that he had that play in the corner, had that last play, like, he has the fucking juice for real. I know I saw that. He's definitely should not, yeah, but he shouldn't get the heist. I mean, yeah, I love the moment. Yeah, doubted. I mean, even by his own squad for a minute. Yep. I love the bounce back.

I love the story. Didn't you doubt him, G? You had a little doubt. You had a little doubt on him at the beginning of the year. You can't find it, but I'm just saying, you know, you can flip now. You can be like, listen, I was somebody who kind of had my thoughts, my question marks, like, is he the guy or not? No, I've, I don't know. I can be the guy, yeah.

He said, I was. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, you know, he's got, he's had a great turnaround. He's had a great turnaround. Earlier in the year, you would not have said he's the top four quarterback. You don't know that. But.

Yes, I do. You saw that performance against LSU. That's coming back. Listen, I got Alabama. I'm with you. I'm with you. Then why are you coming at me? Because you go, you said, hey, I said, Millrow, he's definitely got the juice for real.

And you're like, he was doubted. And I'm like, yeah, he was doubted. And then it calmed on my brain. I'm like, yeah, you kind of doubted him, too. And you're just saying, no, I didn't. No, I didn't. You doubt it, bro. It don't matter.

Yeah, it don't matter. It don't matter. We're going Alabama money line. And I also like the over. I also like the over. Now, it seems like there's been no consensus or unanimous decision on any page. If you're still watching right now, listen, comment, tag a friend. Comment, put your Twitter username, tag a friend.

Because for every comment, I'm throwing a dollar into the pot. If that, I'm spending all that money. And if it hits on this pick that we're about to do, decide, I'm going to disperse it and Venmo it to you and your friend that you tagged. So we got to figure out what we're trying to do, whether it's a little two-leg parlay, whether it's something we can all get on board with. I thought it was going to be the over in the SEC championship. G likes the under.

Is there something in there that we feel like we can kind of, you know, maybe it's a couple overs that we like. Maybe we lean on Mitch and put his entire reputation when he threw in a couple extra picks. All right. We took a quick break to talk this over. I think we've came down. I need to officially change a pick of mine

because we got to rock with this for this two-leg parlay we're putting together based on all the comments. Remember, there's 500 comments, $500 into the pot. If you win, you and your buddy that you tag gets the payout through Venmo. We're going to go, I'm officially changing my Michigan, Iowa pick, to the over, over 35 and a half. I'm no longer taking the under.

It's over 35 and a half. And we're going to two-leg parlay it with the SEC championship. we're taking the over in that as well. That's at, what, 56 and a half? Yeah. So the over in both the Big Ten Championship and the SEC Championship as a parlay,

I would assume it's probably sitting around plus 180 plus 200, something like that. Based on all the comments we get by kickoff Saturday, I will match that dollar amount, or I will match that comment amount with, you know, per dollar, comment equals dollar, and then we ride this wave, we do it together, and then we randomly pick a winner

once this parlay hits, we feel good about it and we're doing two-leg parlay so that way we can keep the wrist down but with a little extra boost a little extra some plus odds in there versus just a lock of minus 110 or minus 108 or something like that but do we feel good plus 257 is the odds that two-leg parlay plus 257 championship weekend the championship parley brought to you by bet the bus we feel good boys right it's fucking ride appreciate you guys for tuning in leave comments leave comments leave comments, big hugs, tiny kisses, as always. May God have mercy on the board because we fucking...
