This is the Don Levertox Show with the Stugat's Podcast. I am told Stugat's that we've got good sound from Mad Dog Russo. I have not heard it.

We will get to it in a second, but I did want to circle back on the Jason Kelsey conversation. We were having earlier and Jessica's contention That everyone listening to this has a sexy you somewhere inside you. I don't believe I do I have never met whatever it is that you're describing. I have never in my life felt sexy When you're barefoot on the pool table? At the F1. Come on. Come on. You didn't become a most eligible bachelor, not tapping into the sexy.

On the pool table, you felt sexy. I don't believe you. Your wife is hot. Shut up. Yeah, my wife is hot. It doesn't mean that I feel sexy. She can attempt to try and make me feel sexy. It is largely unsuccessful.

Your money is sexy though. I am, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you. To you, to you, to you, to you. To you, to you, to you. To you, to you, to you. To you, to you. To you, to you. To you, to you.

She just loves my money. And it's the, it would be the second relationship that I have most fraudulent over money. I love you, man. That, that would be the first. I'd have sex with you. I mean, I would, without the money. I love you, man. That would be the first. I'd have sex with you. I mean, I would without the money. The thing that I am asking the group here because the rest of you like to laugh at me, I don't see a group here and I'm looking at you boys who ever feel sexy. So you tell me in my life, you're saying you tell me Chris Cody Billy Gill

Stugat how often you feel sexy? See like I will say there are times where you put something on and you're like I feel good You look in the mirror and you feel good like I'm not saying that I'm sexy But there are times it's rare nowadays Where you like really feel yourself before you go out like on a night? You know you got a nice outfit on, good shoes. Billy, that's not even the same as sexy. Now I give up, I'm married.

I don't care anymore. Look at me. I'm like eight years downhill. You don't often feel sexy. No, should I? Have you ever? No. Stuck on.

I've even been running with a humongous poll vault in your hand, you were never like, wow, I'm so hot right now. I actually look back at picture. I'm like, you know what? I wasn't a bad looking guy. Yeah, now I'm just the race. Gross. With a mean, that one photo.

That was a good picture. Yeah, God. If I could have that person take pictures of me for my funeral, not like of my dead body, that'd be weird. Stu got, I don't know what I meant. Do you feel sexy? How often do I feel sexy? It's been since 92.

Soft more season lacrosse, top 10 in the country and scoring. I felt sexy. I wasn't sexy, but I felt sexy for a minute. But you shouldn't feel bad, Dan. There comes a relief with realizing I peeked and I'm on the downturn. I don't feel bad. I'm just pointing out to you that I disagree with Jessica when she says that everybody feels everyone listening to this can summon the sexy inside them.

I'm like, nah, not so much. Well, I think she's saying that it exists in everyone. And I'm saying it doesn't. No, I think it exists in all of us, but we have, like, to your point, we haven't found it. Like Billy hasn't found that sexy. Well, I also have hope that I can one day return to kind of like, I'm giving myself till 40. I'm like, you know what, if I try, maybe by 40, I can get back in shape, right?

But then the diet always starts tomorrow. He told yourself, yeah, that's the thing. Mike Ryan though, objected to everything that was being said. Mike Ryan perpetually feels sexy evidently. Also very ugly. You can. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Also very That's it. We said everything that need to be said Let's get to the mad dog sound here. What is this about? Has anyone here heard this sound Chris Cody?

What's it about this is him baseball teams going towards analytical managers and he said back in my day You went from the gut. You got a manager that managed with his gut. So he's just he doesn't like analytics So he's ranting about it who gm this year who's the best team in baseball this year Chris young did he go to the one to Princeton he is an ex player he knows what he's doing who did Chris young higher Bruce Bochi how does he manage by that good who's going to the Hall of Fame?

Carlos Mendoza or Bruce Bochie? Who's the best? Who's the top five managers in the history of the sport? Bruce Bochie who was unemployed for three years Because these statistical gottidakes out there running these teams don't know what they're doing pick a manager Chris Rousseau with your gut He's got sexing no no no no no no no no no no no no does look great. Like Mike Goli, he was not sexy as a football player. Mike Goli is sexy now. He's a good looking guy. Dan, you're still hope for you, man. I'm telling you. You two stood up. You're in some different boat than me.

I don't know what you've been looking at. Yeah. But listen, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm not sexy. It seems to be bothering you. He's given up hope is what he's telling you. He doesn't care about, he doesn't have any hope of being sexy. But Dan, you are beautiful on the inside. You are.

Yeah, what about this speedo picture? You didn't feel sexy in your little school? No, no, God no. Are you're 60th birthday? Let's go back for a second to what Chris Russo is saying, though, because I'd like to understand this as, uh, yeah, you think he's right. And we've now, we've actually gotten in baseball to an era where Brian Cashman has to deny that

he's informed. Like, this is where we are. Analythics, analyth Analytics is the new woke and sports. Like it's been taken as something that was good and you take a snowflake, should by itself be pretty. Sounds delightful. Pretty benign, pretty neutral. But we've turned snowflake into some bells, woke some bells and analytics is now something to be avoided.

People wanna be allergic to information. And it's puzzling to me. With your gut. It's super puzzling to me that we would be this aggressively anti-information, which by itself, information, neutral to positive. More information, neutral to positive. But nope, you inform me more. Now I'm going to judge you as a dork, as a nerd, as somebody in sports who shouldn't be running things because you care too much about information. It really just needs better branding. I think we've been saying it for years.

Let's officially just start calling it maniletics. You're a very strong brave little boy if you go for it on fourth down. If you take the two point conversion, if you're going for it in your own territory, now you're just being a man. This is manalex. That's as good an explanation as any. There is a movement across this country, across the world, really, to be against expertise, to be aggressively against expertise.

But this one here, people have been fighting this. You got the reason, to me, it's so interesting in baseball is because I saw how Michael Lewis's money ball was received when it arrived. And then everyone took it and everyone now uses it. And the teams with money have erased the advantages that the teams that didn't have money had because everyone's using it now. So much so that the guy who runs one of the teams that spends the most is contentious with reporters because he doesn't want to be known as somebody who is led by numbers in a sport where I see stugots, the infielders are reaching into their back pocket and they're all cheating. This guy hits it four feet to my left every time.

They're pulling out, they're pulling out papers out of pockets to look at where they're supposed to be standing on the field. Next thing you know, line drive over second base, been a hit on my life. Now it's always an out, always an out. They've hit it right at the guy and they're all using it and it's wildly confusing to me that we would be aggressively anti-smart. Like it's not even like you're just sitting it out or neutral, you have to defend yourself against I'm someone who tries to be informed.

It's a source of shame now. Everyone's using it except for Bo Chi. And he's won four World Series rings. I mean... The God! Yep. You guys not find it puzzling? Just as, just what is sweeping as a virus across people who want access to their own information, the correct information that supports what they already

believe, not new information, not expertise, I don't understand why in sports, why it is that we would be this aggressively against being informed. When all of you listening to this who are in your fantasy leagues, you all seek out expertise on your fantasy teams even though this stuff can be hard to predict. But there is expertise out there that can make you better at this stuff than you are just guessing. But Dan, the numbers can only tell you so much. It can't tell you what's on the inside.

It can't. It can't measure a person's heart. What does that mean? What do you mean? Well, with managers specifically, it's a lot of managed, like what David talked about, managing people. You can't get all that with numbers. It can't tell you who's going to work hard when they need to work hard.

It can't tell you who's going to settle for just being very good when they could be great. Who has the fire in their eyes, man? They can't guarantee it and it can't make it absolute, but it can increase the probabilities, which is all of what they're doing. They're just trying to increase probabilities on winning. It's not that it's going to make it guaranteed.

Nothing, nothing does that. Well, I mean, there's evil on both sides, right? And I think that that's what some people rail against is like you can't manage or, you know, call a game dictated strictly on the numbers. If you kind of see a situation where you're like, this hasn't been working all day. Let me stick with the hot hand.

How do you play Blackjack? How do you play Blackjack? Oh, I don't. You think I'm gonna risk money? I play it always the same. That's boring. You know, our feel like this 16, you know what? I usually hit gonna stay this time. You never feel sexy. I never feel sexy playing Blackjack. Valerie sees me as

sexy when I have a lot of chips. Well, flavor. Do you guys understand what I'm saying about playing probabilities? That that's all that we're doing like Stugots wants Stugots wants absolutes and guarantees when all of the projections of everybody predicting everything can be wrong. Like there's a there's a margin for error on all of it None of it is going to predict it successfully but in all circumstances when I'm playing a game if you tell me successfully, but in all circumstances when I'm playing a game, if you tell me, I've got a 54% chance here instead of a 46% chance I'm always gonna select 54% and I'm gonna be wrong 46% of the time But if the winnings in the margins, if it's salary cap sport, if every week you're watching something this is decided by an inch The the cop the difference between the cowboys and the Eagles today is nothing.

An inch. But I want the coach playing probabilities there. I'm guessing Mike McDaniel is playing probabilities. He may lose, but I'm going to go ahead and trust the coach that's good with the math on doing things that are more likely to result in success, even though they very often won't result in success. So what do you do with this? Brandon Staley always plays the math, always goes for it on four dad and Austin Eccler has told me and Billy on God bless football.

Yeah, once in a while, just punt, please, like, please, just punt once in a while. Like, what do you do with that? I don't know why you have to push everything out to the extremes. They're all data points, including the gut feeling stuff to help you make an informed decision. Analytics is great, but you can have a field watching the game and certainly a manager data points, including the gut feeling stuff to help you make an informed decision. Analytics is great, but you can have a feel watching the game and certainly a manager can have a feel watching a game that, oh, my picture doesn't have it today.

And that's incumbent upon him to know by spending time around all these guys, the same thing with a fourth quarter decision. Yeah, I know what the numbers usually say, but their sons have been giving us real problems. And I don't have numbers to account for how our offense is playing today and how my quarterbacks confidence is shaken. And that's what you trust the head coach or manager to decipher, which is why Connor Stallion should be viewed as a hero because he was giving Michigan 100% certainty of what call was being played by the other team.

It's just advanced analytics. Do you guys have any more Connorner Stallions news updates for me? He's the best, Dan. He's a hero. Can we hire him to do something? What do you think he would do? Social media for the day or something. I'm going to put them on YouTube subscriptions.

Metal luck manifesto. That probably already exists on like red. Dan, he fixed vacuums and sold them, sometimes with hair inside. He didn't fix them. He sold broken vacuums and sold them sometimes with hair inside. He didn't fix them. He's all broken vacuums to people. And then his blank new back down and said it was because Michigan state fans are out to get him. That's why he tried vacuums by the way on his porch. The best number of vacuums on his porch. Dan, look at his picture.

I do not blame a neighbor for being concerned at all. That's what the 11th floor of this parking garage looks like to be fair. Yeah, but this is under construction. My youth two. I got like 12 floors here. Are you saying you call the cops? You, you, you don't, what level of concern? You do, you do a wellness check on this.

It's like you you just that good deal This house. I'm shocked he wasn't at the vacuum convention and I The how-to a John Wilson. I just blanked out on that He went to a vacuum convention with like all these vacuum fanatics and they had like the world's largest vacuum there And I actually want to go back and check the tape and see if Connor Stallions was in the back The only thing missing from that photo of his front porch is a local news team at the site of a tragedy. That is a scary looking house. How many vacuum cleaners are there? A thousand. What is the back story beyond a B Michigan States fault?

Behind why it is that there are so many back. He had an Amazon store where he was selling like new vacuums. Looks like it's like. Like no. He had an Amazon store where he was selling like new vacuums looks like Yeah, like a two star rating We have reviews if you want them when we come back. Please. I mean if I want them What I want to know why yes coming up next Reviews of Connor Stallions is vacuum cleaner business. We haven't done better than that. Metal Arc Media cannot do better than that.

Jacob's thing is mystery podcasts. He loves to go to who done it. And when it comes to McDonald's, his thing is finding the exact right moment to steal a McNugget from his friend Sarah's try when she's not looking. At McDonald's, our thing is quality ingredients. Like 100% Canadian-raised seasoned chicken in every chicken to knuck in. Our thing and Jacob's thing together?

It makes for a delicious mischievous game, even when he gets caught in the act of our Sarah. Quality, it's a McDonald's thing. Don Lebertard! I am mortified to say that it wasn't but like 10 years ago that I didn't even realize that I went one time to Ron McGill Zoo wearing accidentally my mother's shirt. Still got not realizing that I had buttoned it. That's impossible.

It's not impossible. It was one of the most airheaded things. It seems ridiculous. For everybody involved, I was much leaner at the time. Yeah. I don't want to make my mother. That's impossible. 280. That's also impossible. This is the Don Lebertar Show with the Stugats. I think we have now found ourselves Stug, in a place when we can shame the Philadelphia

underwear wearer on the sidelines because I believe after closer inspection we have deduced that the underwear are inside out. And if they're inside out, that seems like we can make some hygiene judgments. If the tag is on the outside because it's not a thong, it's not G-string, but it's underwear inside out, which I think we can judge more than any of the other things that we were talking about here. Put it on the pole, please, Judeoatlabotard show. Can you judge someone as lacking hygiene if they're wearing their underwear in a side out

in an emergency situation it i don't know who made this assessment it's very clearly this p s d's company just has their tags printed on the on the strapline yeah i don't have tags away that your use you maybe your underwear do yeah your but that's on the inside skin tight underwear like that and then all of a sudden a very Uncomfy conventional tag makes no sense my guess would be this is their Christmas tree Variety underwear. Yeah, which is a Christmas tree and a hundred dollar bills obviously in November Yeah, well, it is the season. Let's shame him for that the day after Halloween Christmas season begins now friends

I hate to break it to you. The other thing during the break that Stugots was doing, Chris Cody, is laughing at your father being such a look at me umpire that as a child, you would strike out, feel shame and what you would hear echoing in your head is your dad doing the strike call of he Ha three because he wanted everybody to notice him at the time of your shame. He want, like, they would capitalize on your shame to do the umpire call.

He, Ha three. He's always been the same. Right. But he should be consoling you, like, you know, keep your eye in the ball, stuff like that. It'd be like me heckling Rachel on a little crossgate. I mean, you never did that? No.

He whole three. That is the opposite of support. Your son has struck out on the street. He's ashamed because it's a call third strike. He doesn't do this on swinging third strike. So basically, he's informing you, you're a failure this way. He whole three.

I never looked at it like this. Thank you guys. It explains so much. The last thing you want when you strike out is your dad rubbing it in. He whole three. It explains how he becomes an adult who still expects you on Father's day to make Father's day about him even though you're a father. Everything-Haw-3! Everything needs to be about him. It also explains why you might lack some confidence in some places. Haw! Whoa! Just in some places!

That's deep. We all have our scars. I know my father left some scars. E-Haw-3! Just not that one! That's not the scar he left. Three. Billy, did you find comments worthy of air?

Did you pass along the comments about our vacuum cleaner salesman? Connor Stallions. Yeah, Connor Stallions. I know he went. It's just making sure. No, but it's the vacuum cleaner part of the story that we've now moved on to he has a hundred vacuum cleaners on the porch of his house because he was selling vacuums and now there is commentary does he have a lot of reviews so counter-styling's apparently lucy found that he had an amazon store and set amazon store as any amazon thing you can leave reviews for

if you're satisfied, dissatisfied with the product, with the service that you've paid for and received. They were all bad. No, no happy reviews. Want you all how state fans? This one says, this is the second vacuum cleaner sent out. The first was full of plaster dust in the motor as well as the collector bin. I'm very disappointed with this vendor for their customer service and their poor product

condition. They say good or excellent and it's terrible in reality. Conor Stallions and the center of this espionage scandal that Colin Cowhert has said is driving 88 miles an hour instead of 71. So you have this faction of people who are saying that whatever the crime is, it's not, it's J-walking, it's not that big a crime. And then you have the entire conference and coaches saying, this is the most ridiculous of crimes and there needs to be a severe penalty. But it keeps getting weirder and weirder.

So yesterday, it surfaced on Twitter that Blake Korum, the Michigan running back, has an LLC that Conor Stallions is listed as being the partner of. What? And then Blake Kourim was like, I don't know anything about this. I don't know how he ended up there. My attorneys are handling it. Stuff's going on.

This may be the most powerful person in Michigan. Then there was Instagram posts with him in front of a car and the hashtag was like BC LLC or something. The ugliest car I've ever seen, by the way. That's just me taking a shot at the car. It's hardly a car. It's also not a name. It's also not a name like Dan Smith

that you could, okay, I'm flipping through papers. There's a Dan Smith associated with my LLC. I didn't catch that. Connor Stallion. Oh, we stands out, yes. Do you have another review there? What is the most positive review that we're going to find? Because it sounds like he was a very terrible vacuum cleaner salesman. This one says this was supposed to be completely

refurbished and like new, it arrived with dirt and hair in the canister, rotating floor bush, brush, hose and tools. There are numerous scratches on the unit and it smells terror. Sounds when you keep your inventory out front. That's the most positive one. He was not a good vacuum salesman. That was not, he was too busy writing that Michigan manifesto. He had bigger things to worry. Reading another one here, there was an actual cat inside this vacuum cleaner. Their team might be the best Michigan team we've seen in our lifetime. Correct? They don't know yet.

Well, they haven't played anybody, but they are crushing everybody. They're very good. And the other day when I said to Lucy, I mean, I wouldn't be that surprised if Ohio State beat Michigan. I'm certainly used to seeing Ohio State beating Michigan. And Lucy's like, absolutely not. I'd be surprised if Ohio State beat Michigan. I'm certainly used to seeing Ohio state beating Michigan and for Lucy's like, absolutely not. I'd be surprised if Ohio state beat Michigan this year.

I know Michigan hasn't played anybody this season, but last year they beat Ohio state. They almost beat TCU. They were a very good team last year and they've only gotten stronger. They didn't really lose anybody. They got a lot of

people back. Like this is a very, very good Michigan team whether they're sealing signs or not. And we'll see that they play Penn State this weekend. And I thought it really matters as a James Franklin big game, but whatever. It's also, I think, a testament to Ohio State,

like not being as dominant, especially offensively, other than Marvin Harrison Jr., who's very, very good. Hold up, it is not easy to beat Iowa 42 to three. That is a really tough thing to do, that they have done. Really tough.

The other thing though, speaking to Colin Coward's comments, and the general comments, because I said the other day that it's probably a competitive advantage, but it's hard to say how big of a competitive advantage, which is true, but there's no reason that Michigan would devote this much time and energy to scouting out games ahead of time

if it wasn't offering them something. This was an entire scouting operation going back years where they're spending tens of thousands of dollars on the budget for this guy to go to games and to hire people to go to games for him. So it's not something that I think you can just brush off as like it's nothing. And now Michigan has taken the approach of being like,

look at everyone else who's done it. So Purdue, Rutgers and Ohio State apparently had shared Michigan's signs between them. So now we have that aspect of it. How great is it that Rutgers is involved? That Rutgers was doing the cheating. Can I just point out though because I've said before, right? In other sports somehow we figure out how the cheating is an advantage and we can do in cycling or baseball, we could be like okay clearly that's something that provided an advantage, even as we argued about steroids.

But many years ago, in a World Series game, Andy Pettit was tipping his pitches and the Diamondback scored a bunch of runs early because it was obvious that they knew what it is that was coming. And one of the best postseason pitchers ever ends up going under because of that. Mike Ryan has pointed out a couple of times now.

You saw how that TCU Michigan game started. And TCU knew what Michigan was doing with the Stein stealing. And there's an example for you of what can happen when you know what's coming. Like the start of that game when Michigan thought they were getting over on t.c. you and t.c. you was like no we know what you're doing and all of a sudden t.c. you to that was the moment all of us were like oh t.c. you's actually not a fraud this

year that was that was when it happened and so don't tell me that doesn't have a result that I can see when that's the way that game started t.c. you running up and down the field because they knew what Michigan was doing. Yeah, we've mentioned it a couple times. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence that would give this credence. And us not knowing the lengths of the investigation doesn't help us, but we just know when this started

is around the time Michigan got good, their worst year was when no one was allowed in the stands. And when you're struggling to figure out like why is Michigan all that good, this could be the reason potentially or one of. Also, I think it's important to make the distinction between sign stealing, which is something that anyone can do, and it is not against the rules to watch a TV broadcast.

And he was tipping the pictures, right? No, it was the illegal scouting and the electronic videotaping that other coaches say went above and beyond the scope of what is allowed and what is common practice in college football.

Well, you guys building out the a rod bathroom of your imaginations. Is that what I heard you discussing during the break? Towels with an A on them. You know, the thing you slide the toilet paper on, that's a baseball bat. Hey, like that still gots. You think he actually calls it the throne? Probably does. It's an actual throne. Yeah, an actual throne. There's got to be a full length mirror in there somewhere. I imagine somewhere in his house, he has a replica of David, but with his head on it. This is the Don Limita show with a St-gats. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

Someone took my $2 bill. Did someone steal this? Did someone... You're the one who would be accused of stealing anything around here. You'd be the first culprit. I didn't steal my own $2 bill. I'm looking at someone in particular, and that's someone as you. I mean, you're the one in the studio. You think Dan's hard up for $2?

No, but it could be $4, you're the one in the studio. You think Dan's hard up for $2? No, but it could be $4,500, maybe $45,000. And so it was just... It was just under your laptop. No, it was sitting right here. I was trying to mint it out, you know, make it smoother. It could be under the laptop. I'll check it.

I do think it's possible that you lost it or misplaced it or just simply irresponsible and because you think and every thief thinks everyone else is a thief, you believe that it was stolen. No one here would steal your two dollars. Give me your two dollar bill, Dan, and we'll call it even. That's what I think this is. That's the end game here.

Let me check the serial number first. Mine has been in the fine bucket or it's not the fine bucket. It's the piggy bank over there. Whatever it is, mine has already been taken. Certainly your two dollar bill is here somewhere. It's not the fine bucket. It's the piggy bank over there. Whatever it is mine is mine is already been taken. Certainly your two dollar bill is here somewhere because it okay well at some point you will find it. I am sure. Check your money. Maybe it's in your pocket. I found it. This is ridiculous. I got a two dollar bill but I'm still investigating. I'm not certain this is the one I started with today. This one has less That's a $10 bill. Well, no, there's a $2 bill right here, but I think that's the one that was in the fine bucket

Now I have a different one. This is weird. I also have a fortune in my Fortune from a fortune could be at Chinese food last night. Let me see what you got there Let me see yeah, check it out. Let me see here You had Chinese you last night, so you're wearing the same clothes you were wearing yesterday?

And the heater only minus two. That's that is money in the bank. At against the spread. Who's going next? What do you want? Yeah, go ahead. I don't want any of this. OK, well, my pick's going to be good,

so you'll change your mind once you hear it. I'm taking Michigan minus 4 and a half at Penn State. It's a big game. Michigan is very good. And James Franklin not going to big game. So Michigan minus 4 and a half. Again, the spread. Your analysis is pretty consistently James Franklin never wins

this game. It does. I think it's like Owen Tanigan's top 10 teams or top five teams. Make it all in one. My analysis was money in the bag. Yes that's what you did. The game called another whole. Lock it on the bag. Lock it up. You made it. It is. Jessica, what is your pick and your analysis? It's the big game of the weekend. The game we're all waiting for. Michael, senior is on the call. It's Jets Raider Sunday Night Football.

And I'm taking the Raiders. New vibes, new coach, everything, new quarterback, everything going swimmingly for the Raiders last week. So I'm taking the Raiders plus one against the spread. I saw a headline that just said crap, NFL primetime games, and pray for our Michaels. Like that all of the primetime games are that. Why would you wish for anybody to watch that football game,

Jessica? Because it's a football game. I mean, we have Panthers, Bears on Thursday. We are blessed beyond measure. I was going to be fine. He finds something to be interested in every game. Absolutely. Get paid, either way.

Yeah. Yeah. Four and four versus a four and five. Dan, two teams in the mix. I don't know what you're talking about. I have a request. Can Billy go before me? Because Billy's really good at this game.

Yeah. And his pick may affect my pick. I'm gonna take the Jaguars plus three over the 49ers. Nice. Oh, yeah. That's the sprue. That's the sprue. That's the sprue.

Billy, the most depends. Yeah, I know, I usually love his analysis here. Because I picked the Jaguars in the bucket of death and I wanna have good juju on my side. So I'm going all in on the Jags this week. Plus, Tony's tears is gonna be debuting at some point this week, and I got a sneak peek I'm feeling pretty good about this pick Chris Cody I saw what's up Tony was working very hard

Anthony Colaudiude on a list of tears on where these teams should be ranked according to the tears He was working on it for hours and Billy was very encouraging in a way that made me suspicious. There's some evil cat going on. Wanting to bring it on air when I think Billy was listening and being like this isn't good, it's not good for air. Let me put Tony in a losing position. He says that's a good idea and then he turns around and laughs. That's great.

Little too nice. Little too interested. Yeah. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Support my teammates. not support my team. It seems like I can't do anything right around these parts You're trying to get Tony fire. Why would I want that? I don't know I Mike what is your what is your pick? I'd like Billy's pick so I'm scrambling right now Is that your game? I'm gonna go now with this new information

Who's playing the Buddhist Liga? Well, I am fading Union Berlin today if you must if you must know My official pick my official pick is Saints Against the spread after saying for a full week that I don't want a bet against Josh Dobs, you never want a bet against Josh Dobs. You see what I'm doing? I'm feeding the rap boys a machine. I'm feeding Josh Dobs this week.

The Saints are dangerous. The spread. It's you guys. You're you're very close to winning this grand prize too, you know. Really? Yes. Yeah, so bring it. I can't attend that game though

I mean we'll bring it against the spread All right, here we go. I love the Bengals. I really do and I love the Texans at CJ Strab I think the Texans are going to make the playoffs and I think CJ Strab Texans are going to make the playoffs and I think CJ Strab is Going to win the NFL MVP. What you heard it here first not the game we're playing 14 touchdowns one interception. He has ice in his veins I am taking the Texans plus seven and a half at Cincinnati plus six and a half Seven and a half where I'm looking plus seven on draft kings Which is where you should be looking where you're looking that's where I'm looking

Revealing you think I'm looking about the half point guys hold on a second. Let me oh it is it six and a half plus Six and a half used in Texans again This is great Good try I'm gonna take the Ravens plus I just I really want to thank my six sponsors for still for all the work they do so that Stugots could bring that kind of care to

his analysis to his job atop the leaderboard to his to his work CJ's John MVP though though. Yeah, I'm about that. Thank you. Just want this grand prize. A different game. A different game. Just snuck in a take. You guys, you should guys should do like against the grain or against something to help Stugans do a different. He did a different show against the grain is the damn Patrick show. He wanted to give you his CJ Stroud opinion. Yeah, gotta be honest. Like I wanted the Ravens over the Browns. I got stuck on the Bengals and the Texans.

The thing wasn't working on my computer. And so I had to just run with it, you know, and that's what I did. The DraftKings app on your desktop works for me to do that. I don't know what you're talking about. No, it's the computer, that's it. Dan, you suck at this game, what's your pick? I'm not, I mean, I'm not. What are you doing?

You should take the Ravens. I am thinking about taking a sabbatical like right now okay who do you have winning MVP again my wishes these perform very well everyone likes to tailor picks I mean we're picking at like a 90% clever sum like as ridiculous listen to how the games are picked here Billy's like well, I took it from the bucket of death. Yeah Stugat is like I don't know the spread, but let me give you a CJ shroud tape Hey, baby don't don't knock his process. He's very close to the top

I feel like mine is pretty spot on yep same Yours was lock it in lock it. I'm not a on. Yep. Same. Yours was lock it in. Lock it in. I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a homer. I'm not a homer. The Miami heater minus two. I'm picking them at Memphis. I also credited Tony's tears for my pick Dan. Yeah, I don't know why draft Kings gives us any money. Because you can't get analysis like James Franklin is bad at big games anywhere else. Certainly that's not going to be the best of the analysis from six different analysts. Like certainly that's not the best you're going to get anywhere else. I thought it was pretty dang good.

It's good. Oh, yeah.
