Do you want to do talk about the professional football first, Steve? professional football. Was that the last week of the year when you came on Scott Joe after you guys beat the Raiders? And you were like, what's your budget on this show? What's your budget on this show? Yeah, because there was no other, yeah.

You were in the shower on a FaceTime? Yeah, I was FaceTime and y'all, but with clothes. But yeah, that was an all-timer for me. I'll never forget it. Yeah, it's still on our board. I know. I hear it from time to time.

Thanks for watching. I'm like, hey. And then I hear you guys slander me in bad beats or the like sometimes like Virginia sucks. There's our segue. Hey, Steve, how about Bengals Broncos last week, which feels like last year with the over? It was 10-10 going into the fourth quarter. Total was 51. Unbelievable.

Yeah, you even texted me. I didn't know what to say to you. I texted you. You were in bad shape too, though, somehow, right? You had Bengals under. You had Bengals under 27 and a half, I think. Correct. Brutal.

Two losses for us, two guys. Yeah, I think I did all right in a head-to-heads against you two, though. I ended up two and three. That's all I know. Not my week. My other total was Dolkins commies, which was a disaster. That fourth down play where he didn't catch it. I didn't take the Packers.

You didn't? I did. No. You had me confused with somebody else. Okay. I mean, updated standards. That's why we're prolonging this. I got it.

Now, the Packers, the Packers freaking covered every teaser known to man. Oh, no, it was Falcons commanders. Yeah, Falcons commanders. That one I felt a little, I felt some kind of way about, but I need the bucks. I need the bucks to win the South because I got a big future there. So that's okay. Okay. So we've got, uh, bigger than your Eagles to win the division?

No, that's, that was. That was a big boy. That was a big boy. You know what else is a big boy. You can definitely get on one of those planes with that. that money you know you know what else is a big boy what's up hey man that ricky pierce saw first touchdown bet on uh monday night we were doing the show Nate always finishes with a hey here's who I'm gonna bet first touchdown and I always I'm always like oh what about this guy never bet it uh this week I was

like you know what because Kingston stopped the show was like you should put how much money on it you say I said you should put 46,000 dollars on it no you didn't yeah I did. I said you should take all the money you got from your Ben-MGM and put it on, but you told me to put it on the other one. Yeah. Yeah. You told me to put it on, who was the other guy that had the long odds? Jennings. Jennings, Juan Jennings. And I said, you know, Peresaw's got, he's plus 2,500. It was a great Monday night. I almost woke the baby. All right. So Chris is in the lead, 62%. Steve's in second at 55 and a half. Yeah, Akins and 3rd at 52%. Everybody's over 500. Chris has the first pick. That's great.

No, I get the first pick. I'll take Minnesota. What a baby. Nice. Love it. Who has second? Me? It's mixed.

Okay. All right. Now, let me begin by saying, I haven't looked at these yet. I don't, I... What was your record last week? I was one and four, but if you look at what it should have been, Steve, four and one. Which is damn good. If you look at what it should have been.

uh kansas city chiefs please plus 10 and a half points damn i went wents wins baby that's a big audition for him and he read steve spags there you go uh give me the stealers money line money line wow we're changing things up it's plus 2.5 Steve just take the point Steve uh all right i'll take the two points please take them all right and then give me the cowboys plus six what

six and a half's all over the place that's what she said and then I got to hear Matt's laugh on top of it good you don't like Matt's laugh I love Matt's laugh that's makes me angry jokes on me and I got Matt laughing at me

I want Matt laughing. Okay. Would you pick the Vikings if I didn't pick them? Yes. Why is it the line doesn't move? Well, how do they get more? Didn't it open it two and a half? And now it's a three.

It might move also because it's minus 105 on the minus three. So that indicates that it might move to 2.5. But that's the hardest number to move to. No, I know. But I'm looking at it. I'm like, hey, Detroit, when that line came out, Detroit had not made an indication of whether or not they were going to play. They played all their guys

short week. They look good. Maybe that's the saving grace. Give me the backups in Philadelphia. Birds minus two and a half. We should pick 10 this week. I'll give you guys a chance to get back in it. Pick 10. I'll take Carolina, Atlanta over 47 and a half. Okay. All right. It's up to 48. I'll take it at 48.

Even better. Don't give a fuck. Yeah. Hard things to get it. It's steaming over. Then I'm going to take Indy, laying the points. Minus five.

I mean, all fuck, boys. Because guess who doesn't want to win? The yags. They got a chance at the number one pick, don't they?

No. Number two pick, don't they? Number two, yeah. Yeah. you never know what you can get at number two give me the LA Rams plus six and a half

Jimmy G week 18 give me the Seahawks oh I can't take him huh yeah you can yeah you can that'll be my third that's now your wild card it's your wild card now

no can you ask Nick Sabin for a play I'm in my basement I think I found one I think I found one say it for the love of God. Dolphins Jets, the under, and Dolphins Jets.

Found it. All right, Chris, last two picks. I'm just checking the weather real quick. Oh, fuck. How do you like me now? Oh, fuck. What's going on in New York? Zero percent chance of Percip.

Hmm. Old Tarad playing? Whether Tarad's playing or not, Huntley's playing for the, the Finns. Hey, Huntley was awesome last year. I know he was. I know he was, but that game, as awesome as he was, that was, that was a game for a game for a little while. My last pick? This is no. It's Christmas.

You're not even next. Yeah, you're not even fucking next. You fucking loser. I'll take it to be a total. Or, or not. No, you've taken three spreads. Oh, or a wow card. No, you need a second total.

Easiest one on the board. Why did you pick it fifth?

Because I didn't see it until now. Oh, Brady. Now is it my turn. I picked Brady. Yes, it is. Under Lyons, 29 and a half point. So, Steve, you got to do a total. What?

I mean, what's going on with this guy? Do your team total first, so you can't fuck it up. What is going on with this guy? I want to take my team. Stanford. What week is this? Jesus.

He hasn't done anything yet. Oh my God, Steve. Oh, I got to think about my half points. Bing, Bing down, Bing down, Bing, over Packers, Bears. Wow. Oh, can I change my last pick? Look at the big balls on Steve.

The Bengals are going to win. Oh, not. 7 and 1 on the road this year. Cool. He's like, cool. I mean, hold on a second, Steve. You just tell you something here. 7 and 1 on the road 5 and 0 against the spread as a road favorite this year.

I just didn't give it out because I don't. I didn't want to go against you, Steve, because I love you too much. Well, I watch hard knocks and you don't. You're prepared. He's got the hard knocks on. Where do you find fucking time to watch hard knocks? Probably airplanes. Fucking five-hour flights that don't have live TV or streaming,

so I couldn't watch the goddamn Sugar Bowl last night. Okay. Well, maybe that's what I'll do. Watch some shows. Steve, where you want you're having? Long flights. Make the Cowboys six and a half? Sometimes you can take a flight without even going anywhere.

Steelers plus three. Gotcha. Oh, you scared him right there. Yeah, I did scare him. You see that? Spooked him. It's not Halloween, Steve. All right.

Vikings plus three and a half. Dang a right. Yeah, and I don't need a brain. Bang a rang. What's up Greenlight fans? It's your boy, Dr. Fax, and I want to talk to you about Airbnb. me and the Green Light crew a few years ago, we stayed at Airbnb for the Super Bowl in Arizona, and it was absolutely immaculate.

It had a huge cactus in the backyard, had a pool, had enough room for everybody, way better than a hotel. And then recently just purchased a house with my girl, and we found out that we can be host. And your house might be worth more than you think, and you can find out at Airbnb.com slash host. Hey, Steve. What do you think of the college football thing? The playoff? Yeah.

Loved it. Imagine how good it will be if the games are competitive. What? Games are plenty competitive. No, they're not. Yes, they are. You're gaslighting me. I'm not gaslighting you.

How many one score games? What? How many one score games thus far in the college football playoff? It's one. The answer is one. Okay. But there have only been eight games. Still three left to go.

Plenty of time left to get that that second one score game. They'll fix the seating and we'll be all good. Yeah. What would they do to fix the seating, Steve? And can they? Yes. You just take away the automatic bids

for the conference championship winners and just rank the teams one through 12. And they can do that. They have the flexibility to do. that next year? Next year? Next year? Yes.

All right. Are you going to do it? That's not me, dude. Can I trust you to handle that? It's got to be unanimous, so I got to coax some other people. Steve, who do you think is going to be playing for the national championship? Notre Dame Ohio State. I'll be down.

Oh, wow. I'll be damned. Wow. Penn State, Ohio State. And you guys will be there. Where is that game? Atlanta. That's pretty easy.

We'll be there for Texas and Penn State. January 20th. Wow. Can that be fun? It would be fun. That would be fun. Burn orange and blue. That would be fun.

Can we get MGM to cook up odds on making coming to Super Bowl? Plus 3,800. Making boarding a flight in 2025 plus 1,200. Yeah. I haven't been on an airplane since. 2019. Is that wild? So that's because you went with Virginia to the final four.

And the Orange Bowl. Same year. Correct. So the question is, when's the last time you actually paid money? You cheap bastards. Oh, really good question. I don't know the answer to that. That's no idea.

Steve, thank you so much, buddy. Have a nice weekend, Steve. Appreciate you guys. I love you. I love you guys. Love you, man. Thank you.
