Brian Hayes, the Odog, Jeff O'Neil, Jamie Noodles, McClennan. There he is, Luke Wilson in studio. Back from his Ayahuasca retreat. Partsie didn't work. We lost the Milly. We got to stop betting like we are on Ayahuasca parts.

We've been doing some goofy things. I'll be honest, you know, I'm all about accountability. If we don't win this playoffs, you might need to fire me. You might need to fire, like I deserve to be, and it's one thing, you know, we won the regular season the last two years. Regular seasons don't mean anything to us. We've been there, done that back to back.

But I'm getting to the point now where I'm like, maybe I'm choking the playoffs. Well, it's one-one. I choke the play, I mean, they didn't do much better about how you are not hazy you forgot it's a riveting wonder one revenue and one one couple of totals yeah i gotta get to the bottom of this okay what was the argument of the eighty five tax like what what was the rule that was supposedly change not change and then there were some scumbag comments and

stuff like that well we weren't aware that do be is darities brother of the criminal referee that was caught in the like he's a criminal he is a criminal party explain where do you get some self into hot water okay noodle so i'm i'm out into feeno huff and i was still last week and do you get to me up with this kind of gray text message like a, I'm gonna change the things I'm like sure buddy. I'm not reading this

So I sit here and I'm like, alright, he's giving out points for totals He's giving out two points for the spread same rules apply. I didn't go through the whole thing. Well after the first game rules apply. I didn't go through the whole thing. Well after the first game, they go 0 for 3. So I thought we were doing the same scoring as we've always done here, which I hate by the way, but I figured we keep it uniform where they mess up, we get points. And all of a sudden, Hayes in the chat like, read the rule book, buddy. It's 0-0. Just that good. Then there's more. Go ahead, finish this.

I have a lot to say. Then, noodles. I read these and there's like in fine print, Doogie puts this stupid new rule. So I'm like, okay, no bigs, whatever, 0-0, we'll be fine. We fast forward where again, I was awful this week. I got on that. Apparently, I can't play in the playoffs, but we get one point for covering a total. And I'm like, all right, well it's one nothing. Hayes and Al's bro from the, Al's bro from

the, I'm gonna not use profanity from the Cruz, get into scumbag mode and then I get zero zero. That's a bonus point and only qualifies if you covered the spread. Hayes was asleep in the Gimp casket and he woke up after that one man well here's here's let me let me under no circumstances has that ever spoken about noodles well they're trying to jam me because they had the next game and i'm like do you mean he's trying to poke doogie in the group chat doogie doogie tell them this is the problem okay and this is what bothered me about the whole thing is do he is responsible for the way this show is portrayed and produced and the communication that goes out into the world and he completely dropped the ball

on this reason why I know that is because I stuck around for an hour after and I got young kids at home and I'm sitting here with you units alone and i'm like all right so this is what we're doing in order for it to be in his bonus points you gotta get the spread right the whole thing of a bonus points is that it's on top of some other accomplishments that's the whole point of a year saying you only get the bonus point yes i see other part right now when I hear bonus I think cuz we always do I we always do a spread. Yes, there's another point available

But then it's the point to get it's it's a man. It doesn't necessarily matter in the end Here's a good one one in case you miss it. He put it on Twitter This is how we're rolling and didn't put the word bonus in exact because he got it wrong It's the whole point of the tweet was wrong. Yes, the tweet, the rule book, everything that was in that was now out. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. He's a universal scumbag. It's just it. Guys, give the man 30 seconds.

Doogie, do you have anything to say because you are getting destroyed right now. Do you have any comment, 10 seconds or less? This is absolutely brutal. So that is true. Hayes and I stuck around. We hashed out some of the rules For me to arrive so I can put them to bed Yeah, they they had to wait for me for hours because of doogie in the incompetence, but please continue to

I was under the impression that the spread and the total were separate as was I you were of the impression I that's what was on Twitter on overdrive 1050 it was the spread was two points that total is one so is that how we're keeping it I guess it's one one can I ask this because I'm getting these these hour-long meetings between you and do I'm I'm a little worried about yeah well and Al's brother was there too oh great yeah he had Cruz where he was supposed to be buying that night. How are we doing the Super Bowl? I'm not doing that today. Well let Doogie figure it out. There will be a lot of picks on the line. We're gonna let Doogie figure it out. Okay. I guess. As long as it's fair. As long as we all read the fine

print and Doogie doesn't switch up at the last minute. Right now it's 1-1 and you got the pick tonight. We got the pick tonight. Now his his brothers coming up here in a few moments okay so we'll get to that momentarily something to chew on brought to you by Boston Pizza Canada's favorite sports bar this January at BP get delicious mouth watering pasta starting at $11.99 every single day enjoy the pastas you love at prices you can't miss hustle in your local BP tonight we're asking online who had the worst wild card weekend defeat this weekend Mike Tomlin Jordan love Justin Herbert those three who has to chew on

it the most Tomlin Tomlin Tomlin really yeah that's hot tasting that's a good one yeah and eight years without a playoff win that's a divisional game and he they got stomped on Saturday. They got stomped and they laid an egg tactically. And that's supposed to be his thing. Right. And he's your guy. I could not believe it.

I sit here and even early on, and we did a small thing on Jay, and it's tough sometimes when it's live, and I wish we could get a little more X and O sometimes. But I'm watching Lamar run, and I'm like, this is not a complex run scheme. This is what, day one of college, I'm learning how to run zone read. And traditionally, teams don't do it in the NFL because the guys are too fast, and they can kind of do a bit of both. And they basically went up and said hey TJ why you're just gonna

knife down and chase after Henry or Justice Hill there wasn't an adjustment for that now this is a zone read where they gave it to Henry if you're watching right now 28 seven games over at that point correct but it was like we're just gonna not have anybody like if you're gonna knife that again I'm getting a little technical with the DN generally your inside backer that has to scrape over the top to fill the gap well they were doing that again this is like fundamentals one oh one and i'm sitting on like do they not think lamar will pull the ball because uh... maybe i'm missing some but did lamar not just pass mike vick for

the greatest quarterback runner of all time i i couldn't believe that that was the game plan going in defensively. And then the next thing is, you know, they're trying to run the ball early in the game and make it this like old-school Steelers, Ravens, kind of like hard-nosed football game, which I get to a degree, your run game stinks and you're playing the best run defense in the NFL. Russ is inconsistent, but you know what he's good at? Off-scheduled plays and throwing go balls. In the NFL. Russ is inconsistent, but you know what he's good at?

Off schedule plays and throwing go balls. In the second half he did it, they had a little bit of life, little bit, and I sit here and go like, why wouldn't you sit here and say like, hey, we're coming out here and we're throwing haymakers? I thought the commanders did that from the first snap yesterday.

They got a couple breaks, but they're like, we got nothing to lose here, we got rookie quarterback, new team, we're coming out here, great energy, we're going to be physical, see what happens. Where it's like the Steelers tried to like almost get cute and I'm like this is not, this is not how you play the Baltimore. Getting cute is not a good recipe to play Baltimore and you said it. He hasn't won in a while and the next thing I'll say why he's chewing on it is where's the fix? Like I look at...

Well, is the fix him getting gassed? I think he might be... Or is he just going to wipe out both the quarterbacks? Like they're going to wipe them out again and get two different guys in there. I think he might get axed this time. I think he might get axed too, oh dog. Really? And if he's...

I think he's... It's definitely a conversation because I look at this thing, and you know, head coaches generally do have their hand in the pot when it comes to the roster and I'll say this I think Mike Tomlin I want to be very clear is a tremendous coach and he's a great reason why they've been there And there's not many coaches that can take that roster and go to the playoffs But I think there's a lot of coaches that in the playoffs are much more willing To take risks and go for me even in the first half their certainly get away from them. I know it was fourth and inches, but I'm like dude

this is a Pittsburgh Steelers. Bring in fields and run your quarterback sneak. Get this first sound, it's fourth and inches. But I look at this offensive roster and I say okay wide receiver, you got Pickens who's an elite talent, he's got a lot of off the field issues right now. He's clearly not bought into the program. After that it's's very, very thin. Van Jefferson, Mike Williams, Calvin Austin, thin. The offensive line has gotten better. Are they great?

Absolutely not. Tight end, was a bit of a revolving door. I like Freyja. Rear mouth's pretty good. But he was a bit of a revolving door. He didn't even play every snap. It got a little strange for me. I look at the runners.

Like, are you putting Oji Harris as a top 10 running back? No. So I sit here then you look at the quarterbacks and you're like, okay we can't go to the Super Bowl with these two guys. But see that that is the the other side of the coin where you you also ask yourself how the hell did Mike Tomlin get them to the playoffs? I agree. How did that team make the playoffs? And I want to be very very clear. I agree with that statement wholeheartedly but my next point would be what I just listed has seemingly been them for the last five years yeah how was Mike Tomlin not been like okay give me a couple more dogs and now all of a

sudden we're gonna win this game in the playoffs and I even look at their defense like I when I think of the Steelers, for me personally, partially because I played against this guy later on, I think of James Harrison, that kind of physicality. I think of Troy Palamalu. It's like I look at this team now, the secondary does have Minka, very good player. You know, the linebackers, good. You know, TJ Watt is obviously phenomenal but more of a pass rush guy he's not really like hey I'm gonna bow up here like James Harrison stop the run talk a bunch of smack and just intimidate everybody on the field

so I I think they've kind of lost their identity a little bit I'll be very honest yeah I mean I can reason with that I would answer this question I would start with Justin Herbert at one. Herbert was horrendous. The first interception he threw, that was the game. The pick sixes, the one pick six was not his fault, but the other one was his fault. But it's three not, they charge down the field the first drive, they kick a field goal, then they get it back on a turnover, and he rolls out on a play action and throws across the field. Ridiculous. That is such a horrendous decision. Yeah. From a rookie a college quarterback wouldn't make that decision. That was the worst play of the weekend. Totally. That one right there was the

worst that when they said that when he threw that ball they were up three nothing I'm like they're done they're gonna lose this game. Yeah. And they got crushed he was awful. So and this is some more like but he hasn't been awful all year Brian he hasn't thrown picks all year he they listen they've run the ball a lot more there it's it's a in the trenches kind of hardball type football he's he's been fine he's been good but this guy's played two playoff games and they've been historically bad the first one was in Jacksonville where they roped it away nothing or whatever that and then the other night against the Houston team that I'm sorry

was dying for them to win like Houston was off they went like DJ Strat, Pun, turnover, pun, and somehow 10-6. I'm with you. It was insane. And to add to what you're saying so that play you're talking about and we could get this up but it's a you know your traditional role right and what you're hoping for in film and for whatever tell they had I think it was Quentin Johnson is gonna sell like he's running it over and you're hoping that the guy basically undercuts it Which is something again? They would have saw in film and then the moment he gets in that undercutting space you basically turn around so it's somewhat of a trick play

The problem with trick plays is if they don't work you can't still throw it yeah so again definitely not under throw it yes a veteran guy sits there and that'll be the read like hey we're they're trying to get a home run there that's why Quinton's over there so he's run this over they're hoping undercuts he turns around the other way and it's like they're hoping that he's open by 10 15 yards like that's how you draw it up. Right. He's clearly not open let alone by 10-15 yards.

You gotta airmail that into the stands. Put it into the fifth row of the stands. And that's not a big talk to the guy where it's like hey if it's not there if you can run take some yards you can do this but like we live to see another down. Exactly. Let me ask you this. Your boy Hayes is just broken hearted at Jordan Love's performance as well.

He was terrible too. Terrible. How many years or opportunities or chances are you going to waste to look at this guy again to see if he can get over the hump and play better? Like do you give him next year if he does it again you're like we got to look elsewhere? Like what do you do with that guy? How long do you wait for it? Well, the tough part, O-Dog, for me answering that is,

how long do I wait for it as like a fan? Dude, you're not a fan, you're a guy that was a tight end. If that was your quarterback, how would you be like, does he better do it this year or what? I would say yes, but the problem is, they're committed to this guy. They've paid him already. They've paid him, and what's annoying about it for me if I'm in that roster is when you pay is a 55 mil

When you pay a guy 55 million We all take less, you know and that kind of happened with Russ when he was in Seattle as well Where it's like if we're gonna you know pay somebody on our offense and this is not speaking as a fan This is the guy in the locker room this much money He's got to earn every dollar of that basically like he's got to make me Everyone not just me the offensive line the running backs. He's got to make everybody else around him better Because if we were paying a 30 million dollar guy We'd have 25 million dollars on offense

to get better players. We'd have Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. Correct. So it's like that's kind of what has happened here and I sit here and say like yesterday, I hated the amount of fight and emotion that the Packers showed. I hate, that was my least favorite thing

of the whole weekend. What do you mean by that? It was funny because Tucker Craft said something today in his exit interviews and he was like, you know I could kind of feel this brewing and I remember sitting there thinking to myself like Feel it brewing like what is what's going on in that locker room? And what I mean is well like you asked yesterday I'm gonna go to the commander's bucks game and there's a few plays in it that like jumped off the film to me Early on first play

Game or second play the game Bobby Wagner comes down hill smokes Bucky Irving just lays him out. Boom on a blitz Okay commanders got to momentum Clearly, I don't think a ton people thought they're gonna win and then Baker Mayfield came out and was like you guys think you're warriors You guys think you battle? I don't remember the scramble I want to say was in second quarter Baker just goes up the middle trucks Bobby Wagner Yeah into a first down third and short and grass and yeah That's the kind of like holy smokes like you want to get the sideline fired up You want to get everybody like that's our leader when he has that kind of energy. It is infectious

Everybody starts rolling and it's a it's an attitude. It's a mindset I look at Jordan Love yesterday and it's like, I'm not asking him to be Baker Mayfield because he's not as far as that kind of emotion on wearing it on the sleeve, but I'm like, where's the fight in this Packers team? Even late in the game, you know, the Pack at the ball back, they're down 12. Things look bleak. You know what? As much as I like to poke jokes at Russell, we get the ball back down 12 with

3 minutes to go, Russell's sitting in the huddle frothing at the mouth, and he still believes he's going to get it done. And maybe we don't, but maybe in the NFC Championship against Green Bay, when we are down 2 with 3 minutes left, we get an on-site kick and find a way to win that game. And it's like, man, you're getting paid 55 million bucks until this game is over you cannot be sitting out here like you know got a very nonchalant vibe softer vibe to them and you throw the pick late again hey i'm not saying they could have won that game well they could have i think they could have won that game that's right like that like i thought the green base defense

played out well as you could ever ask them to play that's gillian hurts didn't have is a stop date like the pat i was on a platter for jordan lowell open when i came correct and he couldn't do it and my next thing is like you want to go toward love and i i want to be clear here i think the guys all the building world but i look at it and i say it's ten seven buffalo denver at the half should intend and gosh allen came out in second half and said watch this You look at Lamar Jackson. I mean he said what a great regular season Lamar

Which is right big for him how many times down Patty Mahomes in the playoffs in any situation? Be like all right here. We go bomb. You know if you're getting paid 55 million bucks You need to have those moments. That's just a fact of the matter. If you get paid 55 million dollars, there's gotta be moments in every game where you're like, that is why we pay this man. And Jordan Love had zero.

He had none of it. His first throw of the game, he almost threw a pick high and through the middle. It was an awful throw. Like when we do warmups on defense, anything down the field field that's what it looks like the linebackers drop in the coaches throw right their head yeah looked like he was doing a practice rep for the defense it was bad man like the

the the numbers on a many thing like seven eight yards or more down the field it was it was a bismo performed he's going to serenity haze they know your packers idea you know in noodles and all of you guys can chime in here because I don't know anything about hockey, but one of the things that really annoyed me, like my, also it was tough that I was on the spread. But your left guard goes down and he's a huge loss. Who's significant.

Jenkins is a really good player. Totally. But now all of a sudden we bring a kid in that I think he had what, three holds and six plays, something like that and then we pull him and put another guy in and I sit here and say like if you're in that offensive line room if you're a front office guy how do you not know at this point of the year that you're that thin in offensive line. Get some veteran guy off the street that's like listen we know that you're not in the best shape you ever played but you're not in the best shape

you ever played but you're better than this rookie who's gonna come in and absolutely jam us because he's not prepped who in that room is not keeping the rookie accountable if you're we used to say this all the time you're one snap away you're one snap away from our entire hopes and dreams depending on you and clearly in Green beds out the message at that really annoyed me to have a guy come in again not expect to play perfect but to play that bad worries pulled after ten plays whatever was that's that

discuss fifty five million you expect better than man you got you gotta get way more than that man jordan lovey didn't have a good year like he took a step back in the playoffs yesterday was available for him and he didn't perform in what about the fifteen-yard penalties even back in the class yesterday game was available for him a didn't perform and what about the fifteen yard penalties even late in the game i'm like that we've got a fight here they stop seqon i think was third down age i thought they handled seqon very well yet and they said one guy shoves him to the ground against fifteen yards and like that smart man so stupid

so i don't think that we're going to do who fumbled the ball right off the start of one early in the head d linman do it later. Yeah, so dumb. Allen and Lamar, we'll get to Allen's brother here in a minute, but the whole week's going to be about that game. It's the Sunday game at 6 30. Yeah. Like I thought both quarterbacks did exactly what they had to do at home, took care of it, easy win. Everyone gets out healthy. Like it sets up beautifully Ravensbills. And I haven't seen the spread.'m sure let out is it is it a pet was no it was i believe it was what minus one and a half for buffalo at start you see now and it's flipped a lot of one and a half how much money came in on baltimore quick

listen i i could see i if lamar plays the way he did all year the way did saturday it's gonna it's got to be john josh on's got out the game of his life but that's the way i see it i i like baltimore one through fifty three i like baltimore more than buffalo by getting played in buffalo i mean that's that's a good josh can equalize you know josh can be a big equalizer in the next thing i'll say is the one thing that goes unnoticed with this buffalo bills defense is that they were able to take the ball away a bunch as far as turnover margin goes

They were number one in the NFL So now what sudden you sit here and if you can somehow muster up a couple turnovers and Josh is playing out of his mind You're gonna win this game. But that being said I would definitely lean Baltimore, you know as much as everyone's saying Hey, this is Josh Allen's year. He's gonna get it done The same exact thing can be said for Lamar. Yeah, he's been phenomenal, and they've been great ever since their buy. Baltimore has been great on both sides of the ball. Run defense, they've been great all year.

Second half of the year, their pass defense has been way better, way better. Offensively, the idea that you have Lamar and Derrick Henry in the same backfield is... And Zay Flowers might be back. I doubt it, but he could. And again, even if he's not, I mean, obviously they want him in, you know, Bateman will take the top off. You got likely and Andrews underneath. I think it's gonna be a great game though, man. And I like the votes are in already for the MVP, so it's already been determined. And we all believe Lamar is going to win it, or I think he will because of the All-Pro but I will say this that if Allen goes Superman on and even if Lamar plays great the Ravens play great and the Bills win because of

Josh Allen voters are going to look so stupid agreed because this is what this is exactly what it is like what I was already in yeah I've already been determined they're already in they've all already been cast so it makes no difference what happens here on Sunday night. But if Josh Allen does it basically on his own, it's going to be weird to see Lamar, especially if Lamar, and conversely, if Lamar plays poorly and Lamar and Allen's just okay and the Bills win. One thing that I think is unfortunate It's one thing that I think is unfortunate for both teams is You know This is gonna be very physical like I look at what Buffalo did yesterday

And I think that one another thing it's not talked about in Buffalo is your offensive line Really strong very very healthy all the time So it's like you got a great offensive line going up against a very very good defensive line again number one run defense in the NFL wire to wire here and it's like that matchup is going to be a bloodbath and on the flip side you're gonna have ed oliver you're gonna have the bills front seven going up against lamar derrick henry and a still a very good offensive line in baltimore it's going to be like, I would assume, we'll see how it plays out, a heavy hitting slugfest, you know, Ali Frazier type situation.

And then whoever wins that thing is gonna have the Chiefs most likely after playing CJ Straub. Houston. Houston. Like they might win that by three touchdowns. Chris Jones is gonna be salivating, being like these boys are beat up,

coming down an emotional high, and I'm not nearly as. It's not gonna be easy. Is that like these boys are beat up coming down an emotional high and I'm not Nearly is not gonna be Imagine you're on your own show getting cut off by a guy who just left the cruise What's he gonna be wearing right now? He better be a cruise where I'll be very disappointed a shirt on his house But well shirts are optional wearing a note that of the increase where i'll be very disappointed in the shirt on his house but well the first church are optionality there is a other what's happening else brother your crews was it uh... a successor one

here earlier audio from else brother that's great this guy get a lot of your it's not good for the bike on it and then they wanted to ask you might have like what has happened is your partner unit i know that i don't know what i learned areas areas we got you know i really don't hear me out i put it on a test to tell me it was a fantastic cruise i wish the panel a little bit better but

at the tables it went swimmingly fellows are all right i like Okay. Alright, well let's get right to the action here because we have the opportunity to pick up points tonight, right? Because of Doogie's fine prints, it doesn't flip over to you guys if we miss tonight. At worst, Al's brother, we're going into the second weekend tied. So we have a real opportunity tonight on Fandl. It's Vikings minus two and a half. The total is forty-seven and a half. Let's begin with the spread. Where's your head at? It's all over the place, Hazy B. It is a little all over the place, but recently I went, I dug into the information and I'm liking the Minnesota Vikings. I do will the road favorites now i like to know if it's a uh... i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i on a Monday night football against the spread too. But ultimately it's top five offense, top five defense.

And you look at the win rates, they are across the board, a much better team than the LA Rams as well. And ultimately I think that TJ Hawkinson, Luke, your boy, he's gonna be the difference maker in tonight's game. The Rams given up over 100 catches and over 1100 yards to tight ends this week. This year, he did not play in that last game that they played so I think that's gonna be a big difference in this game I think that Minnesota wins this one okay so you

like Minnesota we've been going back and forth I have no idea why we picked this game we had that we had the pick of the litter so dumb so stupid we didn't take the bill the ravens. No listen I can reason with this because of for a couple of reasons one neutral site game i do think is significant i think a ton of viking fans are going to be there darnell was awful week eighteen he concerns me darnell versus stafford is very very concerning but i'm willing to look past one bad game

in him regrouping and kevin o'connell putting forth a game plan that is going to lead to some sex success here They have been better collectively throughout the season Rams are healthy now you do have to consider that but I'm okay with laying the points here. Don't love it I think it's a coin flip game But I'm okay with going with our original thought what's the over under what do you guys 47 and a half else brother? Where where is your head out on the total at this point? This one I'm definitely more confident in. I think it's going to be a shootout.

I think both secondaries are very weak going up against two elite receiving groups. So I think this is going to be a rather high scoring game. So I lean over 47 and a half in this one. Yeah, I see 28-24 Vikings tonight. That's such a degenerate play when you're guessing the actual score. Dude, it's scary when guys toss that out, man. I know it is. And you try to see it, you're like, yeah, I see a touchdown here.

We're on the Vikings in the over tonight. Doogie, lock it in with your point system. All right, everyone happy? Everyone's on the same page? I'm not happy. I wish you guys were on the rams i like the viking you like the viking one team i'm pulling for like personally doesn't sam darnold terrify you and that's saying i just oh like i'm writing sam darnold emotional standpoints well like i'm i'm pulling that they pull some upsets and i think it'll be a fun story it It would be. And now they actually, they're gonna go to. Billy.

Billy, which is big. You're gonna give us that game, right? I can say this, I think we're gonna avoid the Bills and Ravens next week, Alex Brother. Oh, perfect. We'll see. Perfect. But I think we're probably gonna avoid picking that game. We'll find out.

We'll see where we're heads at as we get later in the week. You're going over and. Over in the Vikings. I need the Vikings. I need the Vikings to win on a last-second field goal today. Yeah you need. That would be nice for me. Yeah you'll see what happens. Okay. Ideally to win by three. Yes to win by three. No down one. Go 28-24. 28-24 tonight. Al's brother good to see you again. When are we gonna see you again? Later in the week I guess on Friday with more picks

so we'll be making the picks on Friday okay when is your next cruise I know you always have one book before you leave the previous one when are you going on another cruise I did win myself another one while I was there so I got a book one in the next 30 days and I'm doing what I simply don't know what what did you do when it possibly March what did you do to win a ring is I? Gambled a lot that's what I did and they're like, please come back onto the boat win some more Al's bro, you a slots guy. What's your game man? No, I'm not. I'm a blackjack guy Wow How much coin do you have to lose on a cruise for them to invite you back?

Does he kid us with a number, man. Like just come with it. Who cares? It's not good. It's not good. A little more than people. I survived. It's all about how much you just play.

If you win, lose, win, lose. If you leave the cruise even, I got won like a few hundred bucks by the end of the weekend, but you leave even and you get a free cruise, man, you're set. That's why I cruise all the time. You hear that, Hayes? I have a rule when I go to the casino. If I ever am close to being even, I walk into the bathroom and I say, I ask myself in the mirror if I'm a coward, and then I go back out there.

Go back out there. Imagine going to the casino to get a tie. Dude, you know how many buddies I have? Their signature move is all of their winnings. It might be 25 grand. On the way out of the casino, they'll put it on red or black of course double it up and they don't care what happens that's the sickest stupidest move that is the way the gamble there's there's guys that sit there in a diaper because they don't want to leave the table that's the bar that's the most disgusting thing you see a guy I will go for dinner go out drinking all

night have breakfast at four o'clock in the morning walk by that table that person still sitting there yeah hasn't moved poker players well that's that's a that's a casino on land can you imagine that the botcher on a cruise guys in a bathing suit like it's just gotta be debunked i love how they give them 30 days to dump more money into the cruise. You have 30 days. What, if you book it in 31 days, they're not going to take your business out? That would be the grossest table. Like wet bikini farts up your back hair.

Awful. After a cruise buffet for the fifth time that day. Can you imagine what's happening in there? Speedo farts on the cruise. Good luck, Al's brother. We'll catch you Friday and we cannot wait for that cruise in March. Good seeing you. Absolutely. There's Al's brother. Skol!

Skol, let's go Skol tonight. There you go. Luke, good seeing you, pal. Good luck tonight. Bart C, next weekend we rebound.
