We'll see on Monday for our Week 11 reactions live on YouTube at 2.30 Eastern. Steve, where are you? I'm currently in the makeup room here in our office in Athens, Georgia, getting ready for Tennessee at Georgia, which factors into another elimination game, as you were witnessed to last week, Chris, in Alabama, LSU.

We're here, fired up. Great place, night game. Georgia hasn't played a home game in 37 days. Fans are jazzed up. Oh, wow, that's a little, that might be pertinent. I feel like that gives you an edge betting the dogs this weekend. I don't know anything about the game, but tell me this. Athens compared to Baton Rouge.

I kind of asked you about it just a second ago, because we spent the weekend in Baton Rouge last week, Steve. We got some major quality time. What did you think? Buddy, I love the place. I love the people. I was just texting with my dog Hugh. I was texting with Big Age.

What about BG? Texting with BG all through the slate last Sunday, bro. Hey, those are those, Hey, I feel like I'm now an extended member of a family. They make everybody feel that way down there. They do. It's an amazing,

amazing place for that. And I always say it, the people. The people are just incredible and want you to join in and have a good time. Really wish Makin could have made it. He gave it a college try.

I did. He said a good precedent. Yeah. Okay. Said a good precedent. So, yeah. Athens is different. They don't like it when I say it, but they're, they've been pretty spoiled recently, you know, with the two Natty's and, you know, having a great year last year.

So they got a little turn on them, though. They're ready to get fired up because of 13. 37 days again, obviously what they look like against Ole Miss, backs against the wall, having to loss to Bama too, knowing what Bama has turned into. And, you know, not many times Kirby could play the lack of respect card, but you could see that coming with them being outside the rankings right now, too. So they got it all.

And the quarterback for Tennessee, Nico Iamaliava, his status is still to be determined, but all signs point to him being able to start. So what was Kirby mad at his player about? Wouldn't he mad at a player? He called him an idiot. It was maybe a player after the game on his team that was celebrating. Yeah.

After they lost. Bad scene. Yeah. That's pretty idiotic. Really? No, I understand. I understand not calling your players idiots, but like that's also not even like on the,

that's not even on the, I didn't even think that wasn't within the realm of possibility. What? He was just excited to see his friend or something. I guess so. He had friends and family. visiting from out of town and was like excited to see them down on the field. Very cringe worthy.

It was cringe worthy, man. That's tough, man. I mean, like the type of guy that would be happy to see his friends after, like, I feel for him because he doesn't know any better. Yes, exactly. That's why it's kind of like you sort of want to feel. And then it's like, no, man. No, can't do it.

At first I was like, what are you doing calling your players idiots? And then I saw the footage. I was like, yeah, that's pretty idiotic. Like, some things are okay to say in certain situations. Yeah, it was a great, great week. You know, got out to Monday night, got to see my man Callais Campbell again in person. Huge. Oh, my God, he's so big.

Like cleats, cleats on, gloves still on, comes on the set with Scott. So it was awesome to see him. But how was your guys' week? Good? It was good. I wanted to ask you this about Monday. What does verse look like in person size-wise? That's a good one.

Bigger than I thought, more trim than like Chop Robinson. Really? I felt like that. Yeah, I mean, he's put together, no doubt. Where is he? What are he weighs looking at him? 260, maybe? Yeah, that's what he's listed at 260.

I just wonder if he appeared bigger or small. or but he's got to watch for a man Fisk in person too. Yeah. Fisk is a dog. Yeah. Fiske is a dog. So. All right.

Well, my week was good. How about yours, Mike? Yeah, had a good week. Watch a lot of TV shows and such, you know,

hung out with the kids and did real estate. Well, big week, Steve, we have Silo coming back. We have Say Nothing. We have Bell sisters. Went through Severance.

Well, we really put him through the ringer today. We had him answering mailbag questions and shit, you know.

Steve is 26, 22, and 2. That's a 54.2% rating or hit rate and he went three and two last week, making, even at 04 and 1 last week, which is I mean, absolutely terrible.

Be careful. Nobody can play defense in those games. Okay. This is where I thought you were going when you say I don't care. I don't care how high it goes. The Detroit Lions at home, please. I know, that's a good one. What's the number?

That's the right play. Two full touchdowns, 14. And two PATs. You're right. If you haven't noticed, that's not an automatic, I guess. I mean, you got a kicker that was laying bricks in Houston. Hey. Who's selling bricks?

Who wouldn't even laying them? He's a brick salesman. I didn't know there was somebody that sold the bricks. Who's up? I'm up. I'm thinking. Fucking rattled. Okay.

How about you stop fucking watching TV shows and look at the slate? You know, that's a really. Yes, dude. I almost said we'll pay you not to watch TV shows and just watch more fun. But I realize we're already paying him. I'll go to Denver and I'll take the under. The under in Denver.

No. All right. I'm just asking. come on no it's hard man it's hard enough for me and i'm 32 and 19 or whatever the fuck 31 and 19 yeah good catch

Woo! Okay. I'm going to Can I tell you what I'm going to do? You know what this is? He definitely doesn't have anywhere to go. Can I want to tell you what I'm going to do? I maybe expedite this.

I know, but like I can just jump him maybe after a certain amount of time. It's my... It becomes like the Vikings draft pick in the day. Yeah. Well, typically they put a shot clock on this. 10 seconds. Okay. Five.

Four. Four. Three. Two. Give them a no pick. Give them a no pick. Automatically wrong. The under and Raiders.

Oh, that's a good play. That's what I was about to play. Yeah. Thank you. But no. Fuck you, Steve. I got a fucking, I got to stop with the cursing. That was my second choice.

I'm going to go. I really respect. I'm going to go for the turn. It's Steve. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, just so fucking, you know. Shut out Murray.

I'm sorry for the expletives. I hate saying this word. Jets You don't you don't worry a bit that they're completely broken I do totally giving up

if I got to watch no but you heard what Roger said you heard what Roger said they're fighting ghosts from the past it's not even his it's not even this team's fault it's certainly not the quarterback's fault Steve you only picked one

total eke so you can't pick Jets minus four I'm sorry Sorry. Cuss you out. Oh, my gosh. Are you high on drugs or something?

Give me the under in that game. Oh, what a quick pivot by you. Commendable. Hakeem Elijah won't pivot. All right. Give me a... Damn, that's a good pick, Steve.

I like that better than my total. Chris, yours has to be a total. That's got to be a total. I had a total in my head. I just forgot because all the fuckery on this set right now. I'm going to go with the under and big D. Okay. Hey. Where?

Dallas. It's Monday night. Yeah, I can't. Oh, I can't pick a Monday night game. Damn. Idiot. Wow. Didn't you just pick a fucking side when you needed to make a total?

God damn. Picking a moron game is worse. Oh, is it worse? Back me up. Back me up, guys. Back me up. Yeah. It's worse.

It's worse. It's worse. Okay, I'll take the over in Seattle or in San Francisco. I like it. But watch that under is going to hit. Monday night. Nobody took Steelers Ravens side? We go six and no.

Too scared. No, I would take the Steelers. I bet the Steelers. I'm betting the Steelers. Can't wait for that game. I'm going to bet the Steelers. You know who I thought about? Why?

It doesn't really make sense. The Seattle Seahawks. No, that's why you like them because it doesn't make any sense. If you like them, you would have took them. You get five picks. You know what he said last night? We did Thursday Night Time Machine, which I won. Okay.

We both. No. I won the tiebreaker. You know, then it becomes a total thing. I said 27-22. He said, what, 32-27 or something? 29-24. Didn't you both pick the commies?

We'd pick the Eagles by five. Why would I ever pick the commies, bro? Yeah, come on, dog. You know, I lose my pass for something like that. So anyways, the game kicks off. It's 10-3 commies at the half or whatever it is. 7-3, whatever the fuck it is. It doesn't matter.

And making tweets under the prediction, You know what's interesting? I knew it was a commie spot all along. Engagement. You know, I was engagement farming. What's up, everybody? If you've been listening to the show for a while, you've probably heard us talk about one of the many Airbnbs we've stayed in. We had a lot of great times at Airbnbs in places like Phoenix, Buffalo, Green Bay, and Minneapolis. I'll never forget some of the memories we made, like hearing the coyotes how in the desert, playing pool late in the night with the guys

and interviewing ledges like Brian Dawkins right from the comfort of a beautiful Airbnb in Phoenix for the Super Bowl. We love the convenience and it's way easier to hang out with your friends when you have a big place to share rather than staying at a hotel with separate rooms. Yeah, and we'll be booking Airbnb's

for every trip we take this season. Is that right, Cowboy? Hosting on Airbnb is such a good opportunity if you live in a big football town. A nice vacation with the whole family sounds expensive, right? Well, when fans come to your town for those big games, your home could be an Airbnb. Hosting is a practical way to earn extra money to make your vacation truly special. If you're listening to this from home, what you might not realize is that your home is worth more than you think.

Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host. Anything else we like? Virginia. You like Virginia? Hey, I'm going to bet Virginia. I haven't we come through for you twice? on game day. Are we 2 and O?

Are you riding with us again? Are you going back to the well? Hey, I'm hot damn. You know what? I could see Notre Dame having a lot of trouble getting Calandria off the field.

You know, I watched that Northern Illinois game. Yep. Over there in South Bend. Hard ass, yeah. That was tough. Yep. Candy man.

Who's a rolling? Who's it going to win? Easy. So where do you guys want your half point? Oh, where do we want our half points? Our half points. on my stupid seven and a half that's not seven and a half anywhere. What are we talking about here?

Download bed MGM. Dolphins. Yep. So I suppose the smart thing to do for me is to do San Fran Seattle. Is that the best thing to do? Because everything else is, what do I do? I would move off of a full point onto a half point so you can't push it.

pushed him. Pushed him. That's what I'm saying with San Fran, Seattle. It's more likely in a minus two or plus two games. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.

You're right. The Broncos is a low-scoring game. I'll take the Broncos. It's smart. Two and a half or two, one and a half. I'll get the Detroit Lions off the 14 down to 13. That's really. You went to school.

To lay up. Hey, Steve. What we heard was. with this expanded playoff oh the regular season won't matter as much don't you think so many more games matter more like the one you're at this weekend

it's funny making I don't hear those people anymore I dig it come on in have them on the pod who is that is that Lee Corso yeah it is no way yeah let me see him it's right there Sam

I can't see that far he's he's he's going over his notes Can we put in the subtitle of the show that we had Lee Corso on? Every week, can you just flashed Lee Corso? Yeah. The camera. Also, I don't think anybody was trying to get Steve's attention.

Lee Corso's seated like, I know. He's a fake come on in. He's got to go. Yeah. Maybe I do. Not like Macon one time. I'm the only person that hasn't just abruptly left the show. You're right, but in my defense,

It's making was being a fuck boy. America's Seas. America's beams. Steve, that's right, right? We get to pay attention to all these ball games. Tulane is back in the picture, for goodness sake. I got Tulane to make the playoff at a nice, juicy number. We need a Boise loss and Tulane run the table.

You hear about the playoff? It's expanding. That's where the setup is the joke. Set up's the punchline. That's brilliant shit. Oh, thanks. I appreciate it. Give yourself requisite credit for that.

That's brilliant. Oh, thank you. Do you see what he did? With the Tulane Joe. Yeah, you got it. I got it. That is good. It's a good one to end all,

personally. But I would love to give my my thoughts on Kansas at BYU. BYU, there's something about BYU. VYU playing at night. Right. Isn't that a thing? Yeah.

That's a thing. Do you know the thing with BYU playing tonight? Yeah, BYU's four, four and O in one score games, and Kansas is 0 and five in one score games. That could be a cool uni matchup if they do it right, though, Kansas tends to fuck around. 9 and 0 is 3 and 6, and it's a three-point spread in Provo, something ain't right.

It doesn't get much better in Tennessee, Georgia in the, in the uniform front. Same thing with the, go ahead. I was just watching Tennessee again. Chris, you'll just put it on. the numbers they have on their defensive line, guys wear 27, 21, 20, 42. It's crazy.

That's so stupid because I never got to do it. You know what I mean? It's one of those things that if I had done it, I'm like, oh, cool. I'm a hatero. Zero's the worst. Nah, zero kind of cool, bro. Zero's bad.

Steve, enjoy Athens. Enjoy the slate this weekend. We'll do. And happy hunting, everybody. And tell Lee Corso, we said hello. and thanks for being on the show. We'll do. Love you, Steve.

We love you, Steve. Love you guys.
