I see the game that we're playing. What do you mean? Let's not talk about how we did in the Listener League this week. I've got onto these tricks, these shenanigans, these funny games. Did you have a good week finally? Well, I don't know if you saw on the social media, I proclaimed that I was winning this week. And I finished in the 400s, unfortunately.

So next week's my week, that's the good thing about this, we've discussed this many times. Next week. You seem to finish in the 300s and 400s a lot. He had a top 10, he did. Yeah, I finished sixth, I think week two. And then last week I was down to the 300s, I was trending in the right direction.

And then when we were in Chicago, I was in the 100s. So this week when we're in Arizona, by the way, if you wanna go check us out in Arizona, we'll be there on Sunday. Maybe we can set our fantasy lineups together or something. Just don't copy mine, because then we're tied and then I'm not gonna win anything. But here's the thing, if you wanna compete against us,

go to dkng.co slash smirnoff, presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. You compete against me, Stu Gatz, other people from the show, and if you win first place, you win like $750, $3 buy-in. Next week is my week, I think. I'm not gonna save one.

You're due. I think I am due. And I think I've gotten some of the bad juju out. Bring in the good juju here, you know what I mean? If there's hundreds of people doing it and you finish top 10 week two, are you due? I mean If there's hundreds of people doing it and you finish top 10 The week two are you do I mean there's a lot of people that need to finish top 10 What how many people are participating in this that you're finishing hundreds three hundreds and hundreds? I gather if you add them all up hundreds of thousands

All right, but for the audience so that we can have it expressed because this is a new thing that God bless football is doing We've been doing it for a couple years. Well, no, I'm talking about the thing that you're doing this Sunday. I'm talking about landing in a city with a God Bless Football party that is echoing all sorts of God Bless Football, and you can make bets with us,

and you can follow Stu Gotz on Stu Ya Gotz. You guys and Billy's big board brought to you by. Ah, 22 and 12 on the season, thanks for plugging that. You guys are killing it right now, right? You guys are getting. Contract year, Dan-o. You guys are doing well. You guys are doing well betting.

Mike Ryan, if you're super following Mike Ryan, Mike Ryan could tell you what was gonna happen in that Bengals game that Gasecki was gonna eat, that a whole bunch of people were gonna eat because Burrow was gonna be getting rid of the ball very quickly. Big game for Gasecki, huh? Yeah, we're doing all right.

Red hot. I mean, incredible. I mean, the last four months have been on an absolute tear, but please, back to the god bless football. He did the gritty again. Guys, the first rule of a gambling tear is you don't talk about the gambling tear. That's it.

I've been talking about it for months, ain't nothing stopping this. We're doing fine. Nope, I'm never gonna lose another bet ever again. You have to tell people what's going on at the craps table. I understand that you want them to sit out until the whole is over. They'll hear the cheer. They'll hear the cheer.

They'll know. Well, but God bless football. Look, there are many ways to promote God bless football. One of them is that they're going to show up in Arizona this week and throw a big party with Stugatsa and Billy. Add the Draft King sports with TPC Scottsdale to be precise. But another way to lure people to God Bless Football is they're winning you money because Stugatsa and Billy have been getting things right.

And I'm telling you that while we haven't been very good with the parlay's, in the areas in the crevices in the shadows, Mike Ryan, Billy and Stugatsa have been doing some good gambling. This is the best season I've ever had, Dan. I'm 41, 23 and two on the season, NFL. I mean, Jesus. Just totally killing it in all sports. It's really, if you want NASCAR winners, you got that.

Wow, who's winning this weekend? This weekend? What, I don't know if it's gonna be one of those playoff drivers, man. It was crazy. You better put on the gear head. You better put on the gear head if you wanna talk about this. Did you see what happened?

Controversial finish. But I don't want to disrupt what God bless you for. What was the controversy? There was a driver, Christopher Bell, he used the wall to his advantage seat. Two years ago there was the Hail Melon. Alright, it was Ross Chastain who's known to be the watermelon man. So two years ago to pass Denny Hamlin in the playoff standings You know when you spin something real fast and the thing that goes all the way to the edge goes the fastest

That's how it works when you run a car into a wall on purpose That's what Ross Chastain did two years ago. That's two years ago already two years ago He crashed into the wall on purpose It was essentially supercharged his car and he used it to go extra fast and pass Steny Hamlin. So after that very bad ass move, which was crazy, NASCAR said, Hey, that's illegal. So we had a situation where someone tried to do the helm, hail melon. That one's tough for me. Hail melon. But he got ruled out of the NASCAR playoffs because it was illegal.

You shouldn't be doing this on a football Monday. Why? It's the championship is on Sunday. The races also happened on Sunday. This was Kyle Larson shut out of the playoffs, which is a shame because if you look at wins, I mean, certainly a championship quality season from him. But you got to do the big things and the important moments.

And he didn't do it enough. We finished top three. It sounded like Mike was trying to say. The Haemel read. He did make it hail, mail, marry. The Ha mail Mary the hammer because I'm trying to say hail melon I'm not one that you say every day and this is Diana Rossini trying to say hail Mary the hammer I read sorry Mike. I struggle with nittany lions What are you doing in in Scottsdale? I just chillin hanging with the boys

Girls and whoever's did you get every red children 21's coming. Did you get every read-in? Just not children 21 and over. What? Did you get every read-in? Did I what? Get every read-in? Yeah, sorry. What is that accent Rusini's doing?

The hemeride. Like, what is that? Jersey. The talking too fast accent. That's a two kids thing. The hemeride. But what is, I don't. That's a two kids thing.

It sounds like an old nun. The hemeride. In Italy Italy speaking English in her second language. Am I wrong about this? This is someone in an old Italian church telling people in English how they should be doing the Hail Mary, but English is not her first language.

Who's still in it at NASCAR? We got Billy Byron in it now. You got Tony Reddick, Joey Legano, slowie Joey, probably doesn't fall over. Roy, Chris Cody, what were the football things you missed today? And Ryan Blaney had to win to get in and he did it. He won after the heartbreak of home set last week, it's great to see. He's actually going for back to back championships, very difficult to do in that sport. Has Joey Legano met the expectations because he was such a big deal coming into the sport. Has Joey Logano met the expectations? Because he was such a big deal coming into the sport.

Has he exceeded or met those expectations? He met the expectations, no doubt. Oh, interesting. Isn't Stugats, I feel like you're feigning interest. He was prodigious. No, but I feel like Stugats. Really? Interesting is him totally petering out.

He is exhausted, the last of his feigned interest a crazy take for you Christian Pulisic He's he drives down. He is Surpass the expectations huh? Interesting Pulisic is better than they told us he would be no way that's my Like the best American soccer player ever didn't gonna be like the best American soccer player ever, didn't you? He's the best American soccer player ever. Wow. When you come.
