from show. Welcome to Tosh Show. Eddie? Yo. Hit the sirens. Blah, blap, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We got an emergency pod. And I know what you're thinking.

Uh-oh. Tosh has the first sniffles of the new school year. That's not it, but yes, I do. And thank you for all the well wishes. I, much like Michael Jordan, people might refer to this podcast episode. as oh the sick game oh okay you know yeah you remember when the the Mormons of Salt Lake City delivered Michael Jordan a room service filled with diarrhea yeah and then he got sick and then he shoved off of somebody and beat him I don't remember one I remember enough I'm more

than I thought I was going to remember just now right you know he was sick and he won no this emergency pod is to make sure that my father-in-law, Greg, you know, isn't counting his chickens before they're hatched. Right. Because his Florida gators, my wife's Florida gators, are foreno. Now, he predicted they'd be foreno, but rarely does anything he predict come true. So I'm like, holy cow, is he at 72 or three? I don't know how old is.

Is he on his first heater? Which would be great. Yeah. Let's cash in on it is what I say. You may not remember. He predicted that this season's Florida Gators would go 9 and 3, possibly 10 and 2, with his only losses really being Texas and Georgia. Yep.

Okay. Well, Florida Gators unranked preseason brand new head coach. Here they are. at number eight. Amazing. Wow. Hello, sir. How you doing, you old son of a gun?

I'm living a life, buddy. Go gaiters. Go gaiters. Look at that. You knew what this call was about. Listen, we wanted to check in with you. I know you're living high on the hog at 4-0, currently sitting in the eighth spot. Now, your memory's not what it used to be.

I don't be honest with you. I don't know if your memory was ever good. But you predicted. I'm in three. You predicted 93 or 10 and 2. You said your only two losses that worried you were Texas and Georgia, and then he said, who knows what could happen for a third potential loss. So so far you're right now, I would like to say that I predicted that your first loss would be old miss.

And boy, was I wrong. Yes, sir. Where are you? Hold on a second. Oh, geez. You're preoccupied. Yep, hold on. And that peck and paw film off.

Believe or not, I was watching a video of the Florida Gators. Go ahead. So you actually study tape. I'm just watching what the talk of dads are saying. Are you a booster for the Florida Gators? Not this year. I have been many times. Do you have a brick in the stadium?

We have many bricks. We have a family brick and my three Gator Grants each have in the individual brick. Oh, wow. Do you think Carly knows where her brick is? I think she does. Okay. It's by Alberta and Alberta in front of the alumni hall. Now, you have not been to a game this season in person.

Correct. True or false, you scalped your season tickets because you didn't believe in this team whatsoever? That's false. We did not renew our season tickets this year. Okay. Now, do you think that the Florida Gators should reach out and give you free tickets and field passes to a game this year. That would be lovely, but no, they are not going to do that.

Why wouldn't they? You're bringing so much notoriety to the program. Would you do this? If we got the Florida Gators to give you a field pass to be on the sideline in Austin against UT, would you do that? Of course. Okay. Because I think that would be fair because they've got Matthew McConaughey,

and then the gators have the loan arranger. That's an equivalent right there. Yes, sir. Yeah. I like it. I am going to the Oklahoma game. I have tickets already to do that. Okay, so you've jumped on the bandwagon.

You're ready to support this year. Are you standing by your prediction, or do you want to change it? Are you more optimistic now that you've seen these winds rattle off? Are you wanting to go, hey, I think we're going to run the table? No. We're 10 and 2 or 9 and 3. I stand by that. Okay.

And do you believe that you have found your permanent Florida head coach? He seemed like the real deal. I hope he stays. And I hope we keep the whole coaching staff. Everybody seems pretty good. Where would he go? I mean, to LSU when Lane leaves? No, they've got their coach.

Yeah, no, I think Summerall's happy. He's done a good job for us. I told you when you were talking to me, we had a lot of good players. we just had bad coaching. But your coach left for James Madison, and they're undefeated over there. And wait, Daniel, do you know what our four opponents' records are this year? No?

12 and 4. Every one of them has one loss, and that's for the Florida Gators. Oh, look at that. He's at the right level now. I think JMU is a good fit for him. Oh, wow. That's a shots fired right there. All right.

Do you see yourself now in the SEC championship game? No, I don't think so. But I do think we can be in the playoffs. Wait, do you count the loss in the playoffs as your third loss, or will that be your fourth loss? That would either be the third or fourth loss, yes. We lost the first game. We'll lose the second game. I think what I've learned in four weeks of football, I think Georgia is just impossible to beat.

I think that they're, but I think Texas, there's holes all over the place there. I think you can get lucky, but it's in Texas. That's tough. That one's tough. And also the Atlanta game, that's a home game for Georgia. Okay, let's just focus on this week. This week, you're in Missouri. Have you ever been there to that campus?

It's a beautiful campus. You know what? I've driven by it. I have not been on campus, but I have driven by the school. You know your daughter performed there. Oh, did she? Uh-huh. Oh, my goodness.

She was on our live show that we toured with. We performed on that campus. Yeah, and I, but. believe she was with us when I walked around Greek row and I just randomly because Todd Glass was with us, a comedian, he dared me just to walk into a frat house and start hanging out. And I did. And we just went in there and sort of hang out. I also did a freshman tour

of the campus while I was there. But they didn't seem to appreciate it. Okay. That will be a tough game. We will win, but that'll be a Off game. Should I take the over or the under in the game? What is it? I don't even know. I'm sure it's in the 50s. Eddie's going to look it up for us. By the way, if you go to Texas, if you go to Austin and we get you on this, I've already got accommodations for you. He's a big Texas fan, but Eddie's brother will put you up.

Okay. Fine. Okay. That'd be lovely. Are you getting me the over under on the game? Yeah, Gators open is a five-point favorite. They're a five-point favorite, but what's the over-under? Over under is 56.5.

56 and a half. What are you going to take? I take you over on that. They score a lot of points, too. I know. I give up a lot of points. Okay. All right.

All right. This is all good intel. Well, you don't, you seem to be a bit, you know, I don't, you're not gloating as much as I thought you would be. I'll be honest. I've gloated plenty of homes. Don't worry about it. I'm very excited that the team is playing good football for a change. So you're not even focusing on, you know, off-season softball up there in Gainesville?

No, I'm not. Couldn't tell you thinking about that. However, guess what? What? Gator basketball could be a national champ. Oh, really? Oh, gosh, yeah. We've got five players back from last year's team.

You want me to parlay a bet for you right now that the Gators win the national football champion and basketball this year? That'll pave that. You never do that. That would be a great deal. You say it never do. They did it in, you know, just a decade ago. Yeah, the football's going to be a problem there, but I think we could win the basketball.

The ball is oval, as they say. All right, listen, I'm excited to bet all of, you know, my children's inheritance this weekend on the Gators covering and parlaying it to the over. I see it happening. Oh, hey, let me, Thursday night, I just want to test to see if you're actually on a heater because I'll be honest with you. You may be the worst sports gambler I've ever met. That's true. You have the Pittsburgh Steelers in Cleveland for Thursday night football. What do you got?

Your beloved Steelers, your diehard Aaron Rogers fan. What's the spread on that one? I don't know. Can we ask that one? Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure the Steelers are favored by three. Steelers are favored by three and a half as my guess. What is it, Eddie?

38.5 is the spread. That's not the spread. That's the overrunner. All you have to do is look at the game, and it'll just say the number right next to it. All right, I already got it. Pittsburgh's favored by two and a half. I was wrong by one full point. And 38 and a half.

Okay, so anyway, what's the outcome of the Steelers, Cleveland? Just so people that are listening to this Friday morning can see if you're actually on a heater. I don't know. I'm going to take the Steelers over to Sean Watson. Mm-hmm. Okay. You just, it's a Homer bet. Fair enough.

Thursday 8 football. The over and again, the Steelers covering. All right. Well, good stuff. Listen, I hope to talk to you at 5-0 and then 6-0. I hope so, too. Orange and blue, man. Orange and blue. Is that something you say? Is that what Gator people say? They just say orange and blue? No, we say, go Gators, just what we say to each other. All right. Good luck. We'll talk to you.

All right, man, thanks. See it. Well, guys. He's holding true. Feels like he's got it all figured out. He does. Mm-hmm. All right, hit the sirens. Breep, bleep, bleep, briep.
